Chapter 7 Weapon Refining
Secondly, the space inside the servant tower has been expanded to twenty square meters, which is much larger than before.
"This space is barely enough for Kuiichi and Kuifang to live in simply."
"Furthermore, this allows for the storage of a larger quantity of ore at a time."
Ye Xuan'an was secretly delighted by this.
He then used his magic to build two walls inside, separating two rooms for Kui Yi and Kui Yi to live in, and a storage room specifically for storing ore.
In addition, he went to the outside world to buy Kui Fang a first-grade low-quality spirit iron pickaxe, a set of wood-attribute dual-blade qi and blood magic weapon of the innate realm, and a full set of armor to enhance Kui Fang's strength.
Although those things were only for the Innate Realm, their effects were still decent, and they were barely usable.
As for not buying a first-grade low-level magic weapon for Kui Fang, it was because the price was too high, and Ye Xuan'an couldn't afford that many spirit stones at the moment.
Afterwards, Ye Xuan'an returned to the mine and continued mining with Kui Fang and Kui Yi.
Initially, Kui Lan lacked mining experience, so the process was relatively inefficient.
However, after a period of adaptation, it gradually found the knack, and its mining efficiency was no longer inferior to others.
In addition, their cultivation levels are all quite good.
Each of them could dig out more than 400 catties of ore every month.
Although Ye Xuan'an was not as skilled, he could still mine more than 200 catties of ore each month.
A total of 1,000 kilograms of ore.
Setting aside the thirty catties of ore tax that needed to be paid to the Blood Fiend Gang, they would sell a small portion of the ore to the Zhao family to avoid arousing suspicion, and other miscellaneous matters.
At least 900 jin of ore can be left.
If this ore were sold outside, it would be worth a full ninety spirit stones.
'This monthly income is truly high, perhaps even surpassing that of ordinary mid-to-late stage Qi Refining cultivators. Indeed, many hands make light work.'
Ye Xuan'an was overjoyed.
He became even more enthusiastic about mining ore.
In addition, after some time, Kui Yi also successfully broke through due to the feedback from his aptitude and entered the second realm of Qi and Blood.
Moreover, his strength has improved even more than Ye Xuan'an's, and he already has the opportunity to fight against cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining.
"If I were to join forces with him and Kui Fang, I'm afraid we would have a real chance of killing that kind of cultivator."
"Even within the Blood Fiend Gang, this level of strength would likely rank them in the mid-tier."
"Under these circumstances, my ability to protect myself within the mine is somewhat enhanced."
After considering it for a moment, Ye Xuan'an's face lit up with even more joy.
……
In the blink of an eye, several days later...
That night.
Inside a wooden house in a residential area.
"After several years, I've finally managed to grasp the basics of the incomplete weapon-forging and formation techniques I acquired years ago."
During his quiet meditation, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his brows filled with joy.
The other two inheritances can directly reach the first-tier low-grade level. Although they are incomplete, they contain a lot of information.
It not only contains many special techniques, but also has the methods for crafting some common magical artifacts and formations.
"By the way, comprehending those inheritances is only the starting point. I still need to gather some refining materials and formation materials to practice and hone those two skills."
"Otherwise, if the probability of me refining that kind of thing is too low, it will be a losing proposition."
Ye Xuan'an made some plans.
However, one should not be greedy in this matter, otherwise it will be a waste of too much energy and money.
In addition, he is currently in the mine, so he can obtain a lot of Blazing Flame Ore.
Therefore, he planned to use the fire-attribute innate magic weapon "Blazing Flying Sword" and the formation "Blazing Array" recorded in the inheritance as practice tools.
After all, Blazing Flame Ore can be used as the main material for refining them.
Moreover, these kinds of innate realm spiritual items are relatively easy to refine, and there is a considerable market for them.
Therefore, Ye Xuan'an made the decision and went to the market to purchase a White Flame Refining Furnace of the Innate Realm, some Burning Spirit Wood, and some spiritual materials.
He quickly gathered thirty sets of materials for crafting the Fire Spirit Flying Sword and ten sets for crafting the Gathering Yuan Array.
Each set of refining materials is worth three spirit stones.
The materials for refining the array are more expensive, costing ten spirit stones.
Once successfully refined, their value will triple.
"Upon careful calculation, only when the success rate of weapon crafting and array formation reaches 30% or higher can profits be consistently generated."
Looks like I need to work harder.
Ye Xuan'an muttered to himself for a moment.
In addition, the refining furnace is particularly effective. It is not only quite sturdy, but it can also supply the refining needs of cultivators like Ye Xuan'an who are just starting out in the art of refining.
Moreover, it can enhance a cultivator's control over flames, and can increase the success rate of weapon crafting and array formation by an additional 50%.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xuan'an found a secluded place and began his seclusion.
"First, forge the easier-to-craft Fiery Flying Sword."
Ye Xuan'an muttered to himself for a moment, then set up a soundproof and concealing barrier around himself and began to attempt to refine the weapon.
He first took out some fire-resistant spirit wood and lit it.
A ball of extremely hot flame then appeared.
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose sharply.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
"This fire is far too big and unstable; this won't do."
Ye Xuan'an raised an eyebrow slightly, made a hand seal, and cast a spell into the flame.
"The art of fire control!"
"Freeze!"
The flame suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly stabilized at a level extremely suitable for weapon forging.
Ye Xuan'an also took this opportunity to use the flames to heat up the White Flame Refining Furnace.
He then gradually added the blazing ore and some refining materials into the furnace, refining them at the high temperature inside.
The art of iron tempering!
Ye Xuan'an made a hand seal, instantly conjuring a small hammer of spiritual energy that continuously pounded the spiritual materials.
This is also the first and simplest step in weapon crafting.
The only downside is that it's time-consuming and requires a calm mind.
Ye Xuan'an, being a steady and reliable person, successfully passed this test.
Gradually, those spiritual materials also turned into clumps of pure molten iron.
Next comes the second stage, the molten liquid.
However, given the difficulty of this matter, Ye Xuan'an's expression gradually became serious.
"melt!"
Ye Xuan'an made a hand seal and gradually gathered the molten iron together with his magic, then used a small hammer of spiritual energy to try to fuse them into one.
But in just a few breaths, they unleashed an extremely strong repulsive force against each other.
Their origins have been severely affected as a result, and their numbers are gradually decreasing.
If left unchecked, they will likely turn to ashes in no time.
"The technique of suppressing magical artifacts!"
Ye Xuan'an immediately felt a terrible headache and hurriedly used his weapon-refining secret technique to try to suppress it.
At first, he managed to stabilize the molten iron.
However, he had to use suppression techniques, iron quenching techniques, fire control techniques, and even be careful of the high temperature inside the furnace to avoid damaging the molten iron. It was all very energy-consuming.
In addition, this was his first time refining a weapon.
As a result, over time, he gradually found it difficult to cope.
Ultimately... the weapon forging failed.
The molten iron and spiritual materials were burned to ashes.
The three spirit stones were gone just like that.
