"Oh! You can take the test now, please show your fourth-level weapon refiner badge."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Ma Kai next to him couldn't help laughing.
"He's not even a first-level weapon refiner, and you actually asked him for the badge of a fourth-level weapon refiner."
The young man was stunned for a moment: "Sir, don't you have the badge of a fourth-level weapon refiner?"
Ye Bufan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Well...can you directly assess the fifth-level weapon refiner here?"
"This won't work."
The young man said patiently, "It seems that you can only take the first-level weapon refiner test today. If you can pass, you can take the second-level test tomorrow."
Ye Bufan frowned. In that case, when would he get the badge of the fifth-level weapon refiner? He would miss the weapon refiner competition!
"Can you only take one level assessment here a day?"
The young man said: "That's not true. After entering the assessment hall, as long as you can pass the test, you can continue to take the exam until the fifth level.
It's just that the gap between each level is huge, and few people can pass two levels in a row.
And we only have one hour left to close the assessment hall, and we don’t have enough time..."
Ye Bufan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could continue taking the exam. One hour was enough for him, and he didn't even need it.
"Okay, take me for the assessment now."
The young man opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something else, but in the end he endured it. After paying the money, he could take the exam however he wanted.
He took out a jade token and handed it to Ye Bufan: "Master, take this and you can enter the assessment hall, but it will be teleported out after an hour, so your assessment must be completed within an hour."
"Got it, thank you!"
Ye Bufan took the jade token and walked towards the assessment hall next to it.
When he came to the door, he placed the token in his hand on a stone platform at the door. Then the light flashed and the heavy stone door in front of him slowly opened.
I stepped in and the stone door behind me slowly closed.
In front of him is a room of about seventy or eighty square meters, filled with various ores and metals, as well as a huge stove top, a high platform for hammering iron tools, and a bucket for making fire.
He was not very unfamiliar with these things. Although the form was a little different, it was essentially the same as the previous blacksmith shop of Lu Chaozong.
The only difference is that there is an additional evaluation area next to it, with faint formation fluctuations, used to test whether the refined magic weapon is successful.
After seeing it clearly, Ye Bufan didn't waste any time. He stretched out his hand and seven or eight kinds of metals and ores flew up next to him, suspended in mid-air.
As an outstanding weapon refiner, the strength is mainly reflected in four aspects. First, strong mental power, which can accurately grasp the progress and flaws of the weapon refiner.
Second, the stronger your cultivation level, the faster you can refine weapons.
The third is flame. Good flame can not only increase the speed of refining magic weapons, but also improve the quality level.
The last one is the understanding of weapon refining. This seems to be talent, which is a mysterious and mysterious thing.
Because of this, not all cultivators with strong cultivation can become weapon refiners. If there is no talent, even the cultivation of the Tribulation Stage is useless.
And Ye Bufan obtained the inheritance from Kunlun Weapon God Lu Chaozong, fully understood the Tiangong weapon refining technique, and his cultivation level was comparable to that of a strong man in the Mahayana period. It is not too simple to operate these most basic assessments.
He did not use the stove top provided in the room, but used the true void to transform into a large cauldron.
The Void Refining Technique can only be used by refining masters with a high enough level.
Heavy metals and stones were thrown into the cauldron, and then blue flames rolled and enveloped the entire cauldron.
"Zizzizi..."
Under the burning of the fire, all these metals and ores melted in the blink of an eye, turning into fiery red juice flowing everywhere.
"Give it to me!"
Ye Bufan stretched out his hand and grabbed the void, and the molten iron juice began to slowly merge.
With his current knowledge of weapon refining, everything comes easily and naturally.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the steps of refining and fusion were completely completed.
Ye Bufan nodded comfortably. This was the first time he used it to refine weapons after upgrading the strange fire. The speed was almost doubled compared to before.
Next came the step of tempering the weapon tire. In order to increase the speed, he did not do this physical work himself, but directly transformed into a Taoist body and summoned Ye Erlang.
In weapon refining, the tool body tempering is a very critical step, but it is also the most time-consuming.
Because this kind of tempering has extremely high requirements on the strength and precision of the craftsman.
But these are no problems for Daoshen's upper body and Ye Erlang. Each of them holds a huge hammer in their hands, and they work together flawlessly.
One hammer after another, with full force and sparks flying everywhere.
These two people have terrifyingly high levels of cultivation and are full of strength. One strike can be as powerful as hundreds of strikes from ordinary weapon refiners.
Almost in the blink of an eye, an iron sword was forged by them.
The last process was quenching. The lower body of the Taoist body was idle and bored. When the two people were almost done smashing it, he kicked it out and the iron sword fell into the bucket next to it.
With a squeaking sound, water vapor evaporated and smoke and dust rose.
The hot iron sword body was churning in the water. Ye Bufan stretched out his hand and took it out again.
Quenching seems simple, but in fact it is very skillful. If the same water quality is quenched for different times, the final effect will be different.
In the past, more than a dozen types of ores and metals were used, and it was completely different when fused together.
If the quenching temperature is not well controlled, not only will the strongest effects of various metals not be exerted, but they will suppress each other, ultimately greatly reducing the effectiveness of the weapon or even destroying it.
On the contrary, if the fire is properly controlled, the level of the weapon can be greatly improved.
"Okay, that's it."
At this moment, an iron sword appeared in front of him, faintly emitting spiritual energy fluctuations. Although he didn't like it yet, it was considered to be of the highest quality among magical weapons.
He tossed it casually and the iron sword fell into the testing area.
Here is a formation setting, specifically designed to detect whether the refined weapons have reached the level.
A burst of light flashed, followed by a buzzing sound, followed by a mechanical sound.
"Using the simplest black stone, green steel and white sandstone to refine a superior magic weapon, and passed the first-level weapon refiner examination."
After finishing speaking, another door next to him slowly opened: "The second-level weapon refiner assessment will be conducted."
Ye Bufan walked over. It seemed a bit troublesome for him to refine the iron sword, but in fact it only took five minutes.
After he entered the door, he looked around. The facilities in the room were no different from before, except that they were a little larger, and the ore and steel stored inside were of a higher grade.
The assessment difficulty of the second-level weapon refiner is higher than that of the first-level weapon refiner. For ordinary weapon refiners, it may take ten or eight years to overcome this difficulty.
But for him it can be completely ignored, and it is still not too simple.
Another five minutes passed, and the light in the detection area flashed, indicating that the second level assessment was passed.
Another door next to it slowly opened, and Ye Bufan stepped in again.
