Zhou Yang started refining the first-level puppet beast. He chose an iron bull puppet made from refined iron as the main material. This kind of puppet beast has no other advantages. It is wear-resistant and saves spiritual power. As long as it is a low-grade spiritual
It can be driven by stones. If an ordinary first-level monster fights with it, it will basically lose.
However this is of no use.
Even a first-level puppet beast needs to be controlled by divine consciousness, and divine consciousness can only be possessed by monks in the Qi training period.
And with the weak spiritual consciousness of ordinary monks in the early stage of Qi training, they can only command the puppet to fight with people by riding on the back of the iron bull puppet.
Therefore, the puppet beast is actually not for Qi-training monks to play with. Regardless of their own cultivation level or personal financial resources, Qi-training monks cannot afford such expensive and high-end things.
Even though Zhou Yang did not lack this little spiritual stone, he did not waste much time and materials on the first-order puppet beasts. After spending three months to refine several first-order puppet beasts, he stopped making first-order puppet beasts.
Puppet beast refining, began to study the refining method of the second level puppet beast.
The refining cost of a second-level low-grade puppet beast exceeds two hundred spirit stones. Since Zhou Yang has a mine at home, he is very cautious when refining such magical weapons and will not refining them casually.
In this way, after more than half a year of research, he successfully refined the first second-level low-grade puppet wolf beast that can spray wind blades from its mouth to attack. It happened that Zhou Guangxiang also completed the Xiantian realm practice at this time, and successfully developed the magic power to break through to the
At the first level of the Qi training stage, this puppet wolf beast was given to him by Zhou Yang as the first magical weapon in his life.
Since Zhang Yunpeng's poaching incident, Zhou Yang has become concerned about the education of these child monks in the Zhou family. Not only does he often call Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Xiang to talk to him in his free time, he also refines some small
He gave them toys to play with and often went to the school to give ideological education classes to other Zhou family monks.
In addition, he also took the time to compile a relevant book based on the knowledge and information from his previous life and gave it to Zhou Xuantai, the current elder of the Zhou family, so that he could often provide extra lessons to these child monks.
Every time at this time, Zhou Yang couldn't help but think of the passing old people of the "Light" generation of the Zhou family. Those old people were the ones who had truly experienced the Zhou family from prosperity to decline. Their own experiences were extremely educational for the younger generations of monks.
meaningfully.
Only those who have enjoyed the convenience and benefits brought by the prosperity of the family will cherish the previous life even more after the family declines, and will want to make the family prosperous again through their own efforts, so that their descendants will not follow the same old path again.
Zhou Yang and his generation of monks have established a sense of belonging and identification with the family through the words and deeds of these family elders since childhood.
Not long after Zhou Yang refined the first second-level low-grade puppet beast, news came back that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan had successfully broken through to the eighth level of foundation building. However, Zhou Minghan had received many orders for refining weapons after the exchange meeting.
The reason is that for the time being, he still has to stay in the Baisha River Oasis to use the underground fire room there to refine weapons, and cannot return to the family immediately.
In addition, Zhou Xuanhao has also successfully raised his cultivation level to the second level of foundation construction in the past six months, and finally he is not far behind his son Zhou Yang in terms of cultivation level.
A year later, Zhou Minghan completed the weapon refining order he had received and returned to Yuquan Peak, where he also began to study the puppet beast refining method.
With his attainments in weapon refining, he quickly surpassed Zhou Yang in refining puppet beasts. He refined the second-level middle-grade puppet beast before Zhou Yang, and guided Zhou Yang on puppet beasts.
Refining techniques.
Under the guidance of Zhou Minghan, Zhou Yang finally refined the second-level middle-grade puppet beast after another half a year.
As soon as this second-level middle-grade puppet beast was successfully refined, Zhou Yang had a feeling that as long as he could refine the second-level high-grade puppet beast, he could try to refine a third-level magic weapon.
This discovery made him extremely excited, and he immediately put aside everything and devoted all his energy to refining the puppet beast.
The hard work paid off. One and a half years after refining the second-order middle-grade puppet beast, Zhou Yang finally refined the first second-order high-grade puppet beast in his life after many failures and consuming materials worth thousands of spirit stones.
The puppet beast is a strong and durable "black iron turtle" puppet.
This kind of "Black Iron Turtle" puppet beast is huge, and more than a dozen people can stand on the turtle's back without being too crowded. Its shell and tortoise shell are made of second-level spiritual gold Black Iron, and its defense is extremely strong, and this
This kind of puppet beast also uses two defensive spells: "earth armor" and "golden light protection".
The best thing is that this "Black Iron Turtle" puppet beast has a hiding space in its abdomen. A small door can be opened to allow a person to hide in its abdomen and control the puppet beast.
Basically, if a mid-stage Qi-training monk can hide in the belly of this "Black Iron Turtle", it will be difficult for an ordinary ninth-level Qi-training monk to break through the puppet beast's defense and attack him.
Of course, this "Black Iron Turtle" is so powerful that it consumes a lot of materials. The cost price is as high as eight hundred spirit stones, which is comparable to the price of a fine second-level high-grade magic weapon.
With the income, you can refine one of these big guys.
But for Zhou Yang, all these efforts were worth it. After he refined the "Xuan Iron Turtle", he did gain a lot in the process of refining weapons. In order to digest this gain, he made "Xuan Iron Turtle" after refining the "Xuan Iron Turtle".
After "Iron Turtle" was put into the family treasury at a preferential price of 1,500 family contribution points, the cave was immediately closed and went into seclusion.
A month later, Zhou Yang walked out of the retreat room and officially began to refine the third-level magic weapon.
Zhou Yang had already made a decision about which type of third-level magic weapon he should refine for his first time, and had already prepared the materials.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the refining room, and with a wave of his hand, he took out several materials.
The third-order spiritual gold "Fire Crystal Iron", the third-order spiritual gold "Red Mysterious Fine Gold", and the special spiritual gold he originally extracted from the excrement of the second-order high-grade monster "Gold-Eating Rat".
The main material for the magic weapon he wants to refine this time is "Fire Crystal Iron", and "Red Mysterious Fine Gold" is used to increase the hardness and toughness of the magic weapon. As for the special piece of spiritual gold, its effect is when the magic weapon is refined.
It was hard to tell before.
The first step in refining a magic weapon is to purify the impurities in the material. Zhou Yang waved his sleeves and released the third-level low-grade weapon refining cauldron "Purple Gold Cauldron with Phoenix Pattern". Then he waved his hand and a ball of light golden
The "Qianyang True Fire" fell under the tripod and burned brightly.
When the cauldron was heated to a sufficient temperature by the real fire, Zhou Yang used a spell to lift the lid of the cauldron, and threw a piece of fiery red metal the size of an adult's head into the cauldron to temper it.
"Fire crystal iron" is a third-level fire-attribute spiritual gold with extremely high heat resistance. If ordinary earth fire and the real fire of foundation-building monks are used, it will take ten and a half days to melt.
However, under the burning of the "Qianyang True Fire", which was even hotter than the Zixin Earth Fire, it started to melt in less than a day.
After Zhou Yang discovered that the materials in the cauldron began to melt, he began to use the refining magic spells to temper the impurities in the materials. As he fired the magic spells one after another, the holes in the middle of the lid above the cauldron began to slowly rise. Wisps of black smoke.
These black smokes are produced after the impurities in the materials are refined at high temperatures and have strong metal toxicity. Therefore, as soon as the black smoke comes out, it is carried away by the ventilation array arranged in the refining room and spreads into the outside air. .
Impurities are not only discharged in the form of black smoke. Some impurities that are difficult to refine, or raw materials that are not pure enough, require Zhou Yang to use the weapon refining method to peel them out of the material and directly use them as liquids. The form is extracted from the tripod and thrown into the quenching pool to be turned into waste.
By the time a large ball of "Fire Crystal Iron" was tempered, three days had passed.
After tempering, the color of the "Fire Crystal Iron" is brighter and more transparent, the spiritual power it exudes is much stronger than before, and its size has also been reduced by nearly one-third.
Zhou Yang did not continue to refine other materials at this time, but first meditated to recover the consumed mana. Although the efficiency of refining the weapon with "Qianyang True Fire" was faster than using earth fire, it also consumed a lot of mana and was not useful at all. It may last for ten days and a half like in the Earth Fire Chamber.
One day later, Zhou Yang waited until his mana had returned to 80% before he began to temper the remaining two materials.
By the time he tempered all three materials, eight days had passed.
After the materials are tempered, the weapon refining can really begin.
Zhou Yang rested for three full days, and only after his mana and spirit were fully restored, did he finally start the final refining work.
In order to successfully refine the weapon in one go, he directly used the ability of the "Qianyang Pearl" to greatly increase the temperature of the "Qianyang True Fire" when refining the weapon. It took less than half a day to refine all three materials into metal. liquid.
Then, according to the records on the refining diagram, he evenly fused the three groups of metal liquids together in different proportions to form a ring composed of metal liquids. At the same time, he slowly lowered the temperature of the flame to allow the ring to gradually solidify, but without Let it completely solidify into a solid, but remain in a molten state and maintain this state.
At the same time, he kept playing the weapon refining technique in his hand, and cooperated with his spiritual consciousness to make final corrections to the metal proportions in the ring. After the correction, he successively arranged three kinds of restrictions on the ring with a diameter of less than one foot. In the ring, the flame was finally withdrawn, causing the temperature in the cauldron to drop rapidly.
"It's done!"
In the refining room, Zhou Yang looked at the cauldron in front of him with a tired expression, and his eyes were full of joy.
At this time, he did not need to open the lid of the cauldron to take out the magic weapon inside, but he could also feel the fluctuations in the spiritual power of the magic weapon hidden in the cauldron. This meant that he had succeeded in refining the weapon this time, and he had successfully been promoted to a third-level weapon refiner!
However, he did not immediately take out the magic weapon from the cauldron. Instead, he placed the cauldron there and meditated on his own to restore his magic power.
There is a name for this step, which is called "pregnancy device".
After a high-level magic weapon is successfully refined, it usually takes a period of "pregnancy" before it can be taken out. The power of the magic weapon that has gone through the "pregnancy" will be different from the magic weapon that has not gone through the "pregnancy". There are many differences.
It is said that some high-level weapon refiners also master the unique secret method of "pregnancy", which can improve the level of the successfully refined magic weapon through long-term "pregnancy".
According to legends in the spiritual world, a certain great master in the Nascent Soul stage refined a sixth-level magic weapon, and then placed the cauldron on the earth's fire mouth to "pregnant the weapon" for thousands of years. In the end, it was supposed to be a low-level sixth-level magic weapon.
Because this thousand-year-old "pregnancy device" has been upgraded to the sixth level of high-grade!
Of course, Zhou Yang does not expect to use the "pregnancy device" to upgrade the third-level low-grade magic weapon he successfully refined to the third-level mid-grade magic weapon. He just doesn't want the third-level magic weapon he refined for the first time to have flaws.
Moreover, the "pregnancy time" of the third-level magic weapon does not need to be too long. It can be as short as three to five days and as long as ** days. On the seventh day, Zhou Yang opened the lid of the cauldron and took out the magic weapon inside.
He fired a burst of mana and landed on the cauldron. After opening the cauldron lid, a red flame rushed out from inside, revealing the image of a fire bird.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the fire bird turned into a crimson ring magic weapon with flame patterns and placed it on his left wrist.
"Well, as the first level three magic weapon I refined, of course I have to give you a more domineering name. Since your appearance is that of a fire bird, I will call you [Suzaku Ring] from now on.
!”
He gently stroked the metal ring on his wrist with his right hand, which was still exuding a trace of warmth. With a smile on his face, he gave this magical instrument a name that he thought was relatively high-end and classy.
