"Refining weapons, infusing souls." The master replied in four words.
Chu Yan believed that not only himself, but also other disciples present were probably confused.
So he cupped his hands and said, "Please ask the master to explain in detail."
The master nodded: "If you have time, you can go look for the collection of books and learn more about it.
Refined iron can be obtained through extraction with sharp tools.
Magic weapons can be extracted to obtain magic crystals.
The power of the magic weapon can be enhanced by refining the magic crystal with the magic weapon.
For example, after many times of refining, a first-grade spiritual weapon can theoretically be more powerful than a second-grade spiritual weapon, but only slightly less powerful than a third-grade spiritual weapon."
Chu Yan heard this and nodded secretly.
Compared with other monks, he has personally forged sharp weapons, so his understanding of this aspect is deeper than others.
At this moment, after a brief thought in his mind, he had a general direction for improvement.
"As for soul infusion, it has to do with the techniques you practice." The master said: "This aspect is too complicated. If we go into it in detail, it may take ten days and ten nights to finish it.
So I'll give you a rough summary.
Most of the spells practiced by monks can be classified into eight categories: water, fire, earth, air, light, thunder, wood, and gold."
Everyone thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed like this.
"Injecting souls means using some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to strengthen the power of your art.
The same realm, the same spell, but through soul infusion, you are more powerful than your opponent, then your opponent will be the one who falls in the end.
As for the method of soul infusion, it is more complicated.
Some treasures of heaven and earth can be absorbed directly, some need to be refined into elixirs, and some need to be inscribed.
You will gradually come into contact with it in the future."
Having said that, the time is just right.
The master did not stay any longer, told everyone that the next lecture would be in half a year, and then left directly.
At this time, Chu Yan was still meditating on what his master had just said.
"Soul infusion makes the magic more powerful.
In this case, the Wind Bone, Thunder Bone and Flame Bone that I obtained on the eighth floor of Guixu Tower were a way of infusing souls?
Through the Wind Bone, Thunder Bone and Flame Bone, my Seven Star Chaos Wind Steps, Wind Breaking Divine Thunder and Blood Coagulating Divine Finger have all been improved.
And I remember that the changes were obvious at that time.
In other words, as long as I find similar treasures, my spells can become even more powerful.
Moreover, I have a natural advantage in absorbing the treasures of nature and earth.
I don't need to refine the elixir as an auxiliary means, I just need to swallow it directly and use the whale-swallowing and soul-hunting technique to absorb it directly."
Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply at his mother's painstaking arrangements for him.
The whale-eating and spirit-hunting technique I learned in my early days indeed helped me a lot in my subsequent practice.
After making the decision, Chu Yan planned to go back and start trying immediately.
Kong Xian obviously wanted to say something to Chu Yan, but Chu Yan left in a hurry. Before he could talk to Chu Yan, he was surrounded by other disciples who came to greet him.
So he could only watch Chu Yan leave, sighing silently in his heart.
After returning to his courtyard, Chu Yan played with Xiao Tangtang for a while. He was not in a hurry to build his own training place, but immediately entered the Guixu Tower and reached the sixth floor.
This level is designed for refining weapons.
The knowledge about weapon refining has long been recorded at this level.
Combining the previous guru's narration, Chu Yan quickly flipped through the classics, and after a day, the relevant theories were already clear in his mind.
And the next step is to try it.
Chu Yan took out all the dozens of spiritual weapons that he had obtained on the way to slaying spirits.
He plans to extract all these spiritual weapons and refine the magic crystals.
If there were other Earth Yuan realm monks present now, they would definitely think that Chu Yan was crazy.
You must know that for monks who have just entered the Earth Yuan Realm, it is a luxury to have a spiritual weapon. Only the Tianya Sect, the largest sect in the country, would be so generous and equip every new disciple with a spiritual weapon.
A weapon-level long sword.
Under normal circumstances, only monks who reach the third level of the Earth Element Realm will have more money.
But no matter how wealthy you are, you can only have two or three spiritual weapons at most. Those with four spiritual weapons are considered rich.
Moreover, the spiritual weapons of this period were inferior spiritual weapons.
There are very few people like Chu Yan who can just take out thirty or forty spiritual weapons and smash them down!
In a normal monk's brain circuit, if there are many spiritual weapons and they cannot be used temporarily, they will find ways to exchange them for materials for cultivation, such as spiritual stones and spiritual crystals.
But Chu Yan wanted to extract it directly.
You must know that after extraction, the spiritual weapon is equivalent to being decomposed into ordinary materials except for the magic crystal, and its value is far less than when it was not decomposed.
Anyone who sees this scene will probably curse Chu Yan as a prodigal.
But Chu Yan didn't care.
In terms of cultivation, he is confident that he has surpassed other disciples who have just started.
Then from this moment on, those people can only catch up with themselves, but they can no longer catch up with themselves.
After rehearsing the entire process in his mind, Chu Yan picked up a spiritual weapon-level arm guard.
He didn't remember which monk owned this arm guard at that time. In short, it was a first-grade spiritual weapon with good defensive power.
Chu Yan threw it into the furnace without blinking.
In an instant, the furnace burst into flames.
The surface of this arm guard glowed with a light cyan light, and then began to slowly deform.
Chu Yan, on the other hand, used the spiritual energy in his body to control the flames and calcine them repeatedly.
To be able to control flames through spiritual energy so skillfully, Chu Yan would also like to thank the guru who was on the cloud that day.
It was the few words of advice from that guru that greatly benefited Chu Yan, so now he can control the flames. Although he was a little reluctant at first, he quickly became proficient and didn't look like a novice at all.
Chu Yan had experience in extracting sharp weapons, but this was his first time extracting spiritual weapons.
Moreover, the extraction of spiritual weapons is more complicated than the extraction of weapons.
After about a quarter of an hour passed, the flames in the furnace gradually extinguished.
Chu Yan stopped controlling it and took it out to take a look. He couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on his face.
In the fire was a ball of slag.
Chu Yan turned his head and looked at a pile of forging books piled on the table not far away, his face flickering in and out of focus under the flames.
"The book says that there is a 10% chance that extraction will fail.
It seems that my first extraction, although I managed the furnace well, failed in the end.
Once you fail, you get nothing.
It seems that extracting spiritual weapons is really a waste."
Although he said this, Chu Yan's movements did not stop.
One item failed to be extracted, but I still have more than thirty items that I can use to continue practicing.
At present, the spiritual weapons and magic weapons that disciples in the Earth Yuan Realm rely on for a living can only be regarded as training in Chu Yan's place. He doesn't know how other people will react if they find out.
Another arm guard was thrown into the furnace by Chu Yan.
This time, Chu Yan was obviously more experienced and calmer than before.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.
The flames in the furnace gradually extinguished once again.
