Yuan Ming did not rush back to Biluo Cave overnight. Firstly, it was not safe to walk at night. Secondly, he did not know where he was now and whether there would be any dangers around him. He planned to wait until dawn.
He simply set up a thatched shed in a forest near the lake, sat down cross-legged, and thought about what he had experienced today.
Yuan Ming has a good habit. Every time he encounters a big event, he will think carefully about it afterwards and sum up his shortcomings.
The reason why he was in danger today was because he didn't think well and prepared poorly. He knew that Qianlu Lake was very vast, but he never thought about the possibility of getting lost. There are also compasses in Biluo Cave. If he prepared one in advance, where would it be?
There will be trouble later.
Yuan Ming let out a breath and secretly kept this lesson in his heart.
Although I was in danger today, I also gained a lot. A set of "Strange Stones" classics, four pieces of fire chalcedony, a dark red hammer, a large storage bag, and the black wood notebook, each of them
It's a treasure.
"By the way, I almost forgot about this." Yuan Ming turned over his hand and took out something, which was the red peach he picked.
The peach exudes bursts of refreshing fragrance, and you can feel the rich spiritual power contained in it. It is definitely a rare spiritual fruit and may be of great help to your cultivation.
It's just that he didn't know the origin and effects of this fruit, so he ate it raw for fear of doing something wrong.
"Let's wait until the investigation is clear after returning to the clan." Yuan Ming swallowed and put the Xiantao away again.
He took out the black wooden notebook and read it carefully.
At the front of the handbook is Master Kuromu's autobiography, which introduces his life. He was born in a small tribe in southern Xinjiang that made a living by forging iron. He has been very interested in weapon refining since he was a child. Unfortunately, he was not physically gifted and could not learn the skills of his tribe.
The art of forging.
Later, by chance, Heimu was found to have spiritual roots, and they were both fire and wood spiritual roots, so he was sent to Biluo Cave by his clan to practice.
Heimu is not very interested in cultivating immortals. He is still focused on the art of refining weapons. However, the art of refining weapons in Biluodong also has high requirements on physical strength. Heimu is not able to learn it because of his innate deficiencies. He can only learn it in Huofang.
Do some sifting and forging tasks with few hammer swings.
Kuroki did not give up, and worked hard to do his job well while looking for ways to solve his lack of strength.
He firmly believed that he was born to refine weapons.
During this period, Master Kuroki came into contact with the art of expelling objects, and he was immediately inspired.
Relying on his own intelligence, Master Kuroki combined the art of expelling objects with the art of weapon refining and hammer forging, perfectly solving the problem of insufficient strength, and officially embarked on the road of weapon refining, and has been out of control ever since.
Just as Master Kuroki himself firmly believes, he is indeed a natural weapon refiner. It only took him ten years to learn all the weapon refinement methods in Biluo Cave, and merged them with each other to create his own unique weapon refiner.
Genre, Kuroki-ryu.
According to the autobiography, the back of the handbook records all of Master Kuroki’s life-long experience in refining weapons, as well as his various ideas. It can be said that it is the fruit of his lifelong pursuit and hard work.
When Yuan Ming saw this, his expression became serious.
Chen Wan said that although Master Blackwood is known as the number one weapon refining genius in Biluo Cave for a hundred years, for some reason his weapon refining skills do not seem to be passed down in Biluo Cave. If other people in the sect know about the Blackwood Codex
In his hands, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
"No one can know about the Mist Island, and the black storage bag needs to be hidden too!" Yuan Ming decided secretly, and then continued reading.
The writing at the back of the self-report began to be scrawled, and it was basically the difficulties Master Kuroki encountered when refining the weapon, or the words of complaint he wrote when he was in a bad mood. They were scattered and not very coherent.
Yuan Ming did not slack off and read these words carefully, not missing any detail.
According to Chen Wan, Master Kuroki's sudden disappearance caused quite a stir within the sect, and some clues may be found in this handbook.
These scattered words of Master Heimu revealed a lot of information. After his weapon refining skills became more and more sophisticated, he seemed to be restrained by the Biluodong Sect, and then he failed in refining a special secret treasure.
Somersaulted, and finally decided to leave Biluo Cave.
"If this continues, everyone will die!"
This is the last sentence written by Master Kuroki in the autograph of the handwritten notes.
"Everyone will die? What do you mean?" Yuan Ming muttered to himself, unable to guess what Master Blackwood meant by this.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't waste any time and looked at the Blackwood style weapon refining technique at the back.
The handwriting here is very regular. It is obvious that Master Kuroki was extremely serious when writing every word.
The Kuroki-ryu weapon refining technique is divided into four steps. The first step is to smelt the ore, and then to forge the embryo.
Yuan Ming is not unfamiliar with these two steps.
According to Master Kuroki, smelting and forging seem simple, but they are the foundation for forging an artifact. There are many things that need to be paid attention to, such as the ratio of ores, control of the fire, the intensity of beating, etc., every detail.
Problems will affect subsequent weapon refining.
Master Blackwood spent a lot of thought on smelting and forging embryos. The content of each step is much more complicated than in the fire workshop. Take the forging embryos as an example. The maximum number of forgings in the fire workshop is a thousand forgings, but Master Blackwood here has
The requirement is to reach ten thousand forgings, and the details of each forging are also very high.
Yuan Ming took a rough look at it. Although there were many things he didn't understand, he sometimes felt like he was waking up from a dream and had a sudden enlightenment.
However, he did not study this in detail and continued to read.
Due to his current lack of strength, he could only touch the first two steps in the Fire Workshop of Biluo Cave. He didn't know what the subsequent weapon refining process was. He had been curious for a long time, and now he could finally have a more comprehensive understanding.
Yuan Ming quickly turned the page, browsing ten lines at a glance, and combined with his own reflection, he quickly figured out all the steps of refining the weapon.
After smelting and forging the embryo, the next two steps for refining the weapon are to engrave the talisman and imbue the spirit.
Only smelting and forging are carried out, and the weapons created are just ordinary weapons. No matter how well forged these weapons are, they are at most tougher and sharper than ordinary weapons, such as the herring sword.
If you want to refine a magic weapon with special power, you need to engrave talismans and imbue it with spirits.
The so-called talisman engraving is to engrave some runes containing magical power on the weapon, so that the weapon contains special effects. Some can make the weapon sharper, some can make it extremely strong, and even make it stronger.
The weapon inspires fire, thunder and lightning and other powers.
"The patterns engraved on the gravel hammer in the firehouse are probably runes. No wonder it can easily break hard ore." Yuan Ming recalled the first time he sifted materials.
Runes are extremely precious, and every weapon refiner spends his or her entire life collecting as many new runes as possible. Every time a rune is mastered, a new magical weapon can be refined.
The same goes for Master Blackwood. His weapon refining manual records forty-five kinds of runes, including "sharp runes", "armor-breaking runes", "wind runes" and so on.
At the end of the page where the runes were written, there was something more complicated, which seemed to be many runes connected together. With his current knowledge, he couldn't understand it at all.
Carving talismans is not easy. Kuroki believes that each type of rune represents a rule for the spiritual power of heaven and earth. There must be no mistakes when carving, otherwise the entire rune will have no effect. If you want to be proficient in carving talismans,
Writing requires years and months of practice.
Many weapon refiners can only master very limited runes throughout their lives. The main reason why Master Blackwood is famous is that he is extremely accomplished in runes. The forty-five runes in this manual,
He's got it all.
To refine a magic weapon, simply inscribing runes is not enough. After the runes are burned, they do not have power immediately, and they also need to be imbued with spirit.
The so-called spirit filling, to put it simply, is to inject mana into the burned runes to stimulate their power.
This step is simple to say, but not easy to do. Spirit filling requires extremely high mana manipulation. These newly burned runes on the magic weapon are actually very fragile, and a slight excessive impact will cause the runes to collapse.
The spirit filling has another purpose, which is to completely integrate the runes and magic weapons.
Only when the newly burned runes and magic weapons are integrated can they be completely stable and withstand the fierce collisions of future battles. To achieve this goal, skilled magic control alone is not enough. It also requires a kind of innate spirituality.
Call it talent.
Among the several steps of refining a magic weapon, the probability of spiritual imbuing failure is the highest. Even for experienced weapon refiners, the success rate is only 20 to 30%. According to the handbook, even Master Blackwood has less than half the success rate of spiritual imbuing.
.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he couldn't help but lament the difficulty of refining weapons.
He continued to read backwards and quickly read the entire notebook, looking into the distance.
Yuan Ming is not very interested in the art of weapon refining. These days he insists on going to Huofang to learn forging, mainly to gain a foothold in Biluo Cave. Now that he has obtained this black wood handbook, he has a shortcut in weapon refining.
, maybe try taking a walk.
He doesn't expect to reach the level of Master Blackwood, he just needs to be able to refine the most common magic weapon.
During these days in the sect, Yuan Ming understood more and more clearly the power and importance of magical weapons.
Magical weapons are divided into four levels: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Most of the ones in the hands of Biluodong disciples are the lowest-grade low-grade magical weapons, but even low-grade magical weapons cannot be hand-held by everyone. As for the middle-grade magical weapons,
Magical weapons are extremely rare, and only a few inner disciples have one.
Yuan Ming unknowingly, Kun Tu's figure appeared in his mind. The big black flag in this man's hand was called the Yin Ghost Flag. It was a medium-grade magical weapon and was famous in Biluo Cave.
He had personally experienced the power of the Yin Ghost Flag. If he had not escaped quickly, he would have died under this flag.
As for the top-grade magical artifacts and the best magical artifacts, Yuan Ming has never heard of anyone who owns them. It is rumored that only those who exist in the foundation-building stage can have such treasures in their hands.
He turned his hand and took off his herring sword. In recent battles, this sword has played less and less useful roles. If it can be promoted to a magic weapon, even if it is a low-grade magic weapon, his strength will be greatly increased immediately.
Yuan Ming was silent for a moment, then opened the black wooden notebook again and read it carefully from the beginning.
The night passed quickly.
Yuan Ming left the hut, determined his location, and headed straight for the mountain gate of Biluo Cave.
