The monk at the peak of Foundation Establishment stood up to avoid the suppression of Wang Daoyuan's consciousness and shouted: "Stop, stop.
Fellow Taoist's spiritual consciousness cultivation level is much higher than mine, and he can even carve patterns on third-level middle-grade weapons. Why is he only a second-order high-grade weapon refiner?"
Wang Daoyuan put away his spiritual consciousness and said with a smile: "We family monks are not like fellow Taoists who have the guidance of a third-level weapon refiner.
My attainments in weapon refining and formations are already the highest in my family, and there are no elders who can guide me.
In addition, I am busy improving my cultivation, weapon refining and formations, so my progress is relatively slow."
Ji Zhufeng said with a smile: "I am also a monk from a family, and I belong to an old family. Life has not been easy for so many years.
That is to say, I successfully built the foundation and became a third-level weapon refiner, so the family is better off.
My name is Xu Tingxuan, may I ask your friend’s surname?”
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Wang Daoyuan of the Wang family at Yuquan Peak in Qingli County has met Daoist Fellow Xu."
Xu Tingxuan looked surprised, and it took him a long time to recover, and asked: "Are you the one who severely injured Wang Daoyuan, the number one genius in Can Yang Palace, after one passed through five during the mid-term foundation-building competition between two sects?
Speaking of which, our two families are also family friends. My family is in the southern part of Qingli County. When Master Yuquan was still alive, my family was married to the Wang family, and I still have the blood of the Wang family.
Since I have met a descendant of Master Yuquan here, I must help him no matter what.
Come with me, and I will personally teach you how to carve the third-level weapon pattern.
With fellow Taoist’s spiritual cultivation and talent, it won’t take long to become a third-level weapon refiner.”
The Wang family's rise has been very obvious in recent years. They have a Zifu monk who is just over a hundred years old, and there are about a dozen foundation-building monks. This strength is second to none in the entire Qingli County.
Xu Tingxuan's family is also in Qingli County, so it is inevitable that he will have to deal with the Wang family in the future.
Build a good relationship now and form a good relationship, and the benefits will be indispensable in the future.
Xu Tingxuan took out a token and used his spiritual power to activate it. Several stone slabs on the ground moved away, revealing a one-foot-square hole with stairs underneath.
As soon as the cave was opened, a wave of heat surged up.
No wonder this weapon-refining workshop is so small, and there are no tools needed for weapon-refining. It turns out that the real weapon-refining room is hidden underground.
The mountain peak where the Weapon Refining Hall is located has a small top but a large mountain body, which is very suitable for building underground buildings.
Xu Tingxuan took Wang Daoyuan and walked underground. The further down they went, the hotter it became.
The two walked down for more than a hundred feet and found many places where weapon refining materials were stored.
Continuing downward, we reached a depth of more than 500 feet and reached the bottom of the underground cave.
The bottom is a circular space about a hundred feet in diameter, with a circular corridor close to the rock wall. On the rock wall outside the corridor are weapon refining rooms.
There is a fire eye in each refining room, and the fire in these fire eyes is earth fire drawn from the ground using formation methods.
The two of them came to the entrance of the corridor, where there was a table. A slovenly monk in the late stage of foundation building was sitting at the table. There was also a wine gourd on the table.
This sloppy monk was the steward in charge of the weapon refining room. When he saw Xu Tingxuan coming, he asked: "Old Xu, you are a busy man. Why don't you study the weapon patterns on the flying warship instead of coming to my place?"
Xu Tingxuan smiled and said: "You old drunkard knows nothing, I have found a treasure.
This fellow Daoist Wang is proficient in weapon refining and formations, and has personally refined several flying boats.
Just because no one has pointed it out, it is still only at the second-level high-grade level.
His spiritual consciousness cultivation is stronger than mine. I will give him some guidance and he will soon reach the third level of low-grade.
If his formation attainments could reach the third level, he would be able to refine the core of the formation.
By then, wouldn’t it be easy for our weapon-refining workshop to complete its mission?
Quickly open a refining room for me, and I will teach him how to refining it myself."
The old drunkard threw a red token to Xu Tingxuan, opened the wine gourd, took a sip, and asked: "Is this kid so powerful?"
Xu Tingxuan took the token, but before he could say anything, Wang Daoyou sniffed it vigorously and said: "It's a pity to drink the drunken dragon brew from the 1970s.
If this Drunken Dragon Brew can be stored for hundreds of years, it will be a third-level spiritual wine.
I don’t know if your friend still has any live buddleia or seeds, I can exchange them for wine.”
The old drunkard suddenly became energetic and said: "This fellow Taoist is young, but I didn't expect that he is also a wine Taoist. This is indeed Zuilong Brewing that has been stored in the cellar for seventy years.
I do still have some Drunken Dragon Grass seeds. If you can help our Dongyi Weapon Refining Workshop refine the flying boat first, we will be rewarded by the sect master. It’s okay to give it to you with just Drunken Dragon Grass seeds.”
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Since fellow Taoist said so, I will go all out."
After that, he followed Xu Tingxuan into the underground fire room.
The tools in this earth fire room are all available, so there is no need to prepare anything by yourself.
Xu Tingxuan took out two large pieces of metal from his storage bag, threw one to Wang Daoyuan, and said seriously: "This is the material for refining the side plates of a third-order low-grade flying warship.
Every component on the flying warship must be at the level of a third-level low-grade magic weapon when taken individually. Only in this way can we ensure that we can compete head-on with the Zifu monks and not fall behind.
I will demonstrate it to you again, please watch carefully."
After that, Xu Tingxuan put a piece of metal material into the eye of the fire and heated it with the ground fire. After the metal piece was red-hot, he placed it on the anvil, swung the hammer and began to forge it.
An hour later, the metal material was forged into a metal plate two feet square and half an inch thick.
Then, he took out a chisel knife and began to carve the pattern on the metal plate.
It took a full day to engrav the entire side plate.
He said with a smile: "At this point, a side plate is almost ready, as long as it is heated and quenched, it is complete.
If the core of a flying warship is to be refined, metal wires must be embedded in these patterns to enhance the effect of the patterns on transmitting spiritual power. This is the difference between the third-level flying boat and the second-level flying boat.
I'll teach you the threading technique later, but now let's learn the most basic method.
Your spiritual consciousness is strong enough, so these things won’t be difficult for you, just try it yourself.”
Wang Daoyuan also picked up another piece of metal, followed Xu Tingxuan's example, heated it and forged it, and then engraved the pattern on it.
Heating and forging is not a delicate job, so it doesn't matter if there are some minor problems.
On the other hand, there should be absolutely no mistakes in the engraving of the vessel pattern.
Wang Daoyuan had no experience in engraving third-level vessel patterns and failed twice during the inscription process.
Under Xu Tingxuan's step-by-step guidance, it was only the third time that a side plate was successfully refined.
Xu Tingxuan smiled and said: "If you can succeed once three times, you can also be regarded as a third-level low-grade weapon refiner.
I'll show you the quenching technique again, it's not that difficult, you just need to watch it once and it's almost done."
Later, Xu Tingxuan carefully explained to him the extent of heating and the quenching method.
This was very difficult. After Wang Daoyuan looked at it once, he succeeded in refining the side plate of a flying warship.
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Taoist Fellow Xu, for your guidance. I have made greater progress in the past few days than I have in the past ten years."
Xu Tingxuan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist Wang. When you arrange the formations and engrave the formation patterns on the magic weapon later, just give me some guidance.
However, I don't have your talent. When I learned to refine third-level magic weapons, I failed more than ten times before I succeeded.
The elder of Zi Mansion who taught me how to make weapons is very angry, please don’t dislike me."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "In any case, we will strengthen each other and we will not dislike our fellow Taoists."
