The failure of the first weapon refining did not hit Zhou Yang's enthusiasm, because he had never imagined that he could succeed in one go.

If the weapon refining technique is so easy to master, the profession of weapon refining will not become the most popular profession in the world of immortal cultivation.

No weapon refiner, even the most genius weapon refiner, can succeed in the first refining of the weapon.

Most weapon refiners have a little talent for refining weapons, and then rely on countless materials to accumulate weapons and refine their skills.

Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, among those random cultivators who have no sects and no family, there are few weapon refiners and alchemists, because they cannot afford the waste of materials and money to learn these two skills.

Even for a foundation-building family like the Zhou family, which has a foundation-building cultivator, it is difficult to cultivate a second-level weapon refiner who can make money. You must select talented children and then invest a lot of money.

Before Zhou Yang, there were many monks of the Zhou family who were "Xuan" in their generation to learn weapon refining, but only his seventh uncle Zhou Xuanlin was barely promoted to the second-level weapon refining master. This was cultivated by Zhou Minghan, a third-level weapon refining master, and then smashed materials worth thousands of spirit stones.

However, the limit of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is a second-level weapon refiner. If you want to become a third-level weapon refiner, you must first become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

So Zhou Minghan said that he hopes Zhou Yang can inherit his weapon refining skills, and his subtle meaning is that he hopes that he can successfully build the foundation.

As long as he can successfully build the foundation and show some talent for refining weapons, even if he uses spirit stones to smash him, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-level weapon refiner!

Of course, Zhou Yang didn't know about these things. He just felt that the refining materials were hard-won and a pity to waste. Therefore, after the failure, he did not rush to try again immediately. Instead, he packed up the waste in the cauldron and carefully summarized the experience and lessons.

Only after he felt he was sure of it would start a new attempt again.

This failure, summarize, fail again, summarize again...

After experiencing seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally successfully refined a finished [Qingfeng Sword] and officially became a first-level weapon refiner.

With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate will be much better when he refines the weapon later. Basically, he can succeed in just ten times.

When he had been refining hundreds of times and controlled his success rate to two-tenths, he stopped refining a first-level magic weapon like Qingfeng Sword and changed to another first-level magic weapon like Flame Sword.

The first-level magic weapon [Flame Knife], the main material is also fine iron, but at the same time, it is necessary to mix two-tenths of the fire-attribute spiritual gold and red copper. After the magic weapon is trained, the innate realm monks will inject innate true energy with the magic weapon in hand, which can inspire flames to attach to the knife to face the enemy and cause burn damage, and can also deal with some ghosts that cannot be attacked by simple physical attacks.

The refining process of [Flame Sword] is roughly the same as that of [Qingfeng Sword]. The difference is that when refining [Flame Sword], the restriction placed in the blade is not [Sharp], but [Flame] prohibition.

Although Zhou Yang had the successful experience of refining the [Qingfeng Sword], his first refining the [Flame Sword] magic weapon still failed.

However, he summarized his failed experience and was lucky to succeed the second time. Then after dozens of refining, he successfully controlled the success rate of refining [Fire Knife] to above 20%.

At this time, there were still a lot of basic refining materials left by the old patriarch, but he did not continue to refine them. Instead, he handed them over the finished magic weapons he had refined, the refining experience he had summarized when he was refining his weapons, and the letters written to Zhou Qi, a monk from the same generation who came to collect the production of refined iron ore, and asked him to take them back to the old patriarch and handed them over to the parents who were far away.

Zhou Qi ranks third among the Zhou family’s “Yuan” generation. Both of his parents are ordinary mortals. He is already thirty-two years old this year. However, because the quality of spiritual roots is only the lowest level, his cultivation has just reached the third level of Qi training. There is no hope of building a foundation in this life.

After hearing that Zhou Yang became a first-level weapon refiner, he was naturally surprised at first, and then took the thing with joy and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, brother Ninth, I will definitely bring the things and letters to the old patriarch and uncle and aunt."

After saying that, he paused, and said with a serious look, "But you must practice well, don't focus on refining weapons. You are the hope of our entire Zhou family. The elders of the clan and our brothers and sisters all hope that you can build the foundation and successfully lead our Zhou family to continue!"

"What the third brother said is that I will work hard to practice and will never disappoint the elders!" Zhou Yang nodded and responded with a serious face.

"Just know what you know, then I'll leave first."

Watching his clan brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang controls the formation back to its original state, and looks at the long letter his parents asks him to bring to him behind closed doors.

Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao devoted himself to practicing in his early years. He was not until he was over 60 years old that he had no hope of building a foundation, so he followed the advice of his elders in the family to get married and have children.

It happened that at that time his mother Lin Yuting was chased by her enemies and fled to the vicinity of Yuquan Lake Oasis and was rescued by her. The two became husband and wife because of this, and then gave birth to Zhou Yang within a few years.

Because both of them were immortal cultivators, the first child was lucky enough to detect the medium-quality spiritual roots. From then on, Zhou Yang became the flesh of the parents. He was really afraid of breaking it in his palm, and he was afraid of melting it in his mouth. He was so precious.

It is precisely because of the meticulous pampering of his parents since childhood that Zhou Yang, a time traveler with memories of twenty or thirty years of his previous life, slowly let go of everything in his previous life, accept and recognize his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognize the entire Zhou family.

In order to allow this son to go further than the two of them in their practice, Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting did not have any other children since then, and devoted all their energy to earning spirit stones and taking care of Zhou Yang.

Later, when he discovered that Zhou Yang had the talent of premature intelligence and could take care of himself, the couple handed him over to the elders of the clan to take care of him. Then, he stayed in the store opened by the family in a store in the Immortal Cultivator Market for many years, using the alchemy and winemaking techniques he had mastered to earn spirit stones for the family and son.

As a "experienced person", Zhou Yang understands the thoughts of Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting very much.

Just like his parents in his previous life who were far away from his hometown to work in the city at a young age in order to support him in school, everything Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting do now is also for him to build a foundation in the future and go further on the road of cultivation.

So he never resented because he had never seen his parents for many years. Instead, he wrote many letters to his parents every year to give them to his parents, telling them about his daily life experiences. He knew that these seemingly boring things are what parents want to see the most.

"Yang'er, Qingpingshan is far away from the family. Whenever you encounter problems, you must think twice before doing it. Everything is to protect yourself..."

"Son, the business of the restaurant here is getting better and better recently. The hunger marketing method you told my mother last time is really great. My son is indeed a genius. He will definitely become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future. No, he will definitely become an ancestor of the Golden Pill Stage!"

Zhou Yang looked at the letter he wrote to him by his parents, his face full of sincere smiles. The simple letter from his parents was far more useful to him than to others.

After reading the entire letter, he carefully put the letter paper and whispered to himself: "There are two years left. When I complete the remaining two years of garrisoning mission, I will go back to the family to make a breakthrough in the seventh level of Qi training. As long as I break through to the seventh level of Qi training and advance to the late stage of Qi training, I will apply to the old patriarch to go to the market to garrison. Then our family will be able to reunite!"

On the other hand, when Zhou Qi brought the magic weapon and experience refined by Zhou Yang back to the family and handed it to the old patriarch, it immediately attracted Zhou Minghan's high attention.

He personally checked the magic weapons refined by Zhou Yang one by one, pointed out the shortcomings and gave suggestions for improvement, and answered the questions recorded by Zhou Yang on his weapon refining experience. Then he asked a family elder of the "Guang" generation to go and sent some higher-level weapon refining materials and weapon refining experience to Zhou Yang.

"Hahaha, Xiaojiu, you are so successful. I have lived for hundreds of years. It is the first time I saw the old patriarch so happy and valued a junior. Now the name of your Zhou family Qiliner has spread throughout the clan. Even those secular tribe members are talking about your deeds!"

The old man from the Zhou family "Guang" generation who was responsible for delivering things to Zhou Yang was named Zhou Quan, and he was ranked third among his peers, and the second among the eight elders of the Zhou family.

The old man is already 112 years old, very close to the lifespan of a monk in the Qi training stage. If Zhou Minghan had not personally ordered him to send a name to his name, no one in the family would dare to disturb the old man who was about to be transformed.

"It's really a sin to my nephew, my grandfather, who is tired of this trip!"

Zhou Yang looked at the old man who was smiling and his mouth was leaking. While he was moved, he also sighed secretly.

He knew that if the late-stage qi training monks in the family had their own tasks, the old patriarch would never have let Zhou Quan, the verge of transforming into a transformation, come to do this trip.

Zhou Quan's arrival not only showed the old patriarch and family's emphasis on him, but also exposed the family's shortcomings in available personnel.

"Haha, I am old, even if I sit in the same place tomorrow, it doesn't matter. If you can see an outstanding junior like you appear in the family before sitting in the same place, I will die with peace of mind!"

Old man Zhou Quan smiled happily, reached out and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder to show his closeness, but he had already taken life and death lightly.

However, he said that he said so, and after the next second, he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "What a pity, it's a pity that I can't wait for the day when you build your foundation. Otherwise, after I die, I will go to Huangquan and have the face to see the ancestor Yuquan!"

Zhou Yang was silent and his mood became heavier.

In the past 100 years, several generations of monks of the Zhou family have been stuck at the foundation building level, so that old people like Zhou Quan have a deep obsession in their hearts. The only obsession in their hearts is that they hope to see another foundation-building cultivator appear in the Zhou family in their lifetime to replace the old patriarch to protect the family.

His father Zhou Xuanhao actually had this obsession, otherwise he would not have tried his best to earn spirit stones outside and prepare for his future foundation building.
