When Liu Changxu stayed to take charge of the mining of Jinyang iron ore veins, there were already great difficulties in mining Jinyang iron.
So, he personally entered the mine to learn about the actual situation. Liu Changxu discovered that when the tribesmen mined Jinyang iron ore, they mainly relied on their own magic power, magic weapons, and first-level low-grade magic tools, mining picks.
When it was first mined, it could still be used reluctantly, but when it was mined thirty feet underground, it encountered great difficulties.
When it reaches about 30 feet underground, the quality of Jinyang iron ore is getting higher and higher, and the ore is getting harder. You must know that Jinyang iron is the main material for refining first-class magic weapons, so the difficulty of mining can be imagined. When mining Jinyang iron ore with a first-level low-grade magic weapon ore pickaxe, sparks will fly out as soon as the pickaxe is struck. It will not take long for the orepickaxe to be scrapped.
However, if you use ordinary magic weapons to mine them, the effect is not as good, and it is easy to damage the precious magic weapons. For the tribesmen who already lack magic weapons, it is a loss more than the gain.
As for the use of spells, such as the wind blade technique, it is even more difficult to mine Jinyang iron ore. The spells of the Qi Refining monks are not powerful enough, and the mana consumption during mining is also very large.
Therefore, the tribesmen mostly mine Jinyang iron ore in shallow layers, and have no choice but to give up on the high-quality Jinyang iron ore deep underground.
After understanding some basic conditions on the spot, Liu Changxu immediately organized a meeting for the tribesmen participating in mining to study mining matters.
At the meeting, the Great Elder Liu Qiusheng first gave a brief introduction to Liu Changxu on the mining situation and said: "Changxu, after our preliminary survey and calculation, this Jinyang iron ore vein should be a micro-ore vein. It is only due to the influence of its own ability.
Limit the inability to explore deeper.
Now we have almost mined the shallow Jinyang iron ore, and have mined 22,000 kilograms of Jinyang iron ore, but it is very difficult for us to mine further."
Liu Changxu quickly asked: "What is the main problem?"
Liu Qiusheng continued: "The main reason is that the rocks deep in the veins are very hard, and most of our magical mining pickaxes were damaged when mining Jinyang iron ore."
As he spoke, Great Elder Liu Qiusheng took out his first-level medium-grade magic weapon ore pickaxe from his storage bag. Everyone found that the ore pickaxe had been damaged and would not be used for long.
Liu Changxu's uncle Liu Shi'an also took out his first-level low-grade mining pickaxe from the storage bag, which was damaged and unusable.
"Xu'er, you see my mining pick is broken, what do you think we should do!"
Liu Changxu smiled and said: "Is this the case for everyone?"
The tribesmen present showed Liu Changxu their damaged magic weapons and pickaxes. The eldest brother Liu Changyong’s first-order mid-grade magic weapon, the long sword, was even broken, which made him very depressed!
Seeing this, Liu Changxu knew very well that mining work could not be promoted without solving the problem of mining tools. The main reason for this problem was that the Liu family had never encountered such a difficult mine in the past, and the family was not prepared to mine high-end mineral veins.
tools.
After hearing the reaction of the tribesmen, Liu Changxu had already thought of a solution to the problem.
As a weapon refiner, although Liu Changxu cannot yet refine spiritual weapons, he still has the ability to repair or refine first-level magic weapons, and the mining pickaxe can still be used to refine relatively simple magic weapons.
"Let's do this! Everyone, first give me the damaged magic weapon ore pickaxe to repair. After repairing your magic weapon, I will refine some mining magic tools for you."
After hearing what Liu Changxu said, everyone was very happy and handed over the damaged magic weapon ore pickaxe to Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu immediately used the Ruyi Purple Gold Furnace and started to light the fire and repair the magical artifacts for everyone.
In fact, the magic weapon ore pickaxe is a kind of magic weapon that is very difficult to damage. Most of the damage is the magic weapon's pattern. You only need to heat the damaged magic weapon back into the furnace and use the power of spiritual consciousness to carve the pattern again.
.
Therefore, Liu Changxu repaired the damaged magic weapon pickaxe very quickly. He repaired everyone's damaged magic weapon pickaxe in just two days. Even the eldest brother Liu Changyong's magic weapon long knife was repaired by Liu Changxu, which made the eldest brother Liu Changyong repaired.
Very happy.
Next, Liu Changxu is going to use Jinyang iron to refine the ore pickaxe. Since Jinyang iron ore contains many impurities, Jinyang iron ore must be refined first, and the process of refining Jinyang iron ore consumes most mana and time.
.
First, the magic formula was pressed, and a large ball of foundation-building true fire was poured into the refining furnace. The furnace immediately ignited with blazing flames, and then a large piece of Jinyang iron ore was sent into the refining furnace for calcination. Since the flames in the refining furnace are all driven by Liu Changxu's magic power, as time goes by, even Liu Changxu, a foundation-building monk, will find it too much.
For this reason, Liu Changxu is particularly eager to obtain the spiritual fire. If there is a spiritual fire in the Ruyi Purple Gold Furnace, Liu Changxu's level of alchemy and weapon refining will be greatly improved.
Whether it is elixir refining or weapon refining, the flame sources include spiritual wood fire, monks' true fire, earth fire, animal fire, heaven and earth spirit fire, etc. Among them, the power of heaven and earth spirit fire is the most powerful. Having a heaven and earth spirit fire is
The dream of every alchemist and weapon refiner.
However, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth is very rare and precious, and it requires a lot of luck to obtain it.
As time went by, under the burning of the foundation-building true fire, this large piece of Jinyang iron ore quickly turned into molten iron. The Jinyang molten iron was put into the mold. After the molten iron solidified, a rough ore pickaxe
The blank was completed, and after some forging and seal carving, a first-level ore pickaxe was successfully refined. Liu Changxu also became a first-level top-level weapon refiner
