Chapter 54: The Sixth Foundation Building of the Clan, Beginning of Refining

Two months passed in a flash. After everyone discussed, they finally gave Li Tongming the foundation-building pill brought by Li Daoling. He lived up to everyone's expectations. One month after taking the foundation-building pill, he successfully broke through the foundation and became the sixth foundation-building cultivator in the family.

"Sheng'er, what don't you understand?"

In the cave of Ganyang Peak, Li Changsheng held a book on the true explanation of Li's refining. After hearing what Li Daozong said, Li Changsheng slowly closed the book.

"Grandpa, I understand!"

In addition to daily practice, Li Changsheng has been learning about refining knowledge during this period. Now he has to start learning to refine on his own.

Because the Jindan stage needs to refine his own life magic weapon, and it is impossible to ask outsiders to refine the life magic weapon, so it is inevitable to learn to refine in advance.

"Grandpa will show you first, then you can practice!"

Li Dao Zong slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a small tripod with four legs and two ears flew into the air. A spell was cast on it, and the small tripod spun around, suddenly became larger and fell to the ground, with three small characters "Golden Tripod" written on it.

"If you want to refine a weapon, a tripod is indispensable. This is the bread and butter of our weapon refiners. A good refining tripod can also increase the success rate of refining weapons, and the same is true for alchemy."

Li Changsheng nodded secretly. He already knew these, but he would still remember what his grandfather said.

"Swords are the easiest to refine. Now I am going to refine the first-level lower-grade magic weapon, the red gold knife."

"The main materials of the black iron knife are refined iron and diamond sand."

Li Dao Zong drew the spell in his hand, and the formation under the tripod flashed, and a red flame emerged from the ground, instantly wrapping the bottom of the gilded tripod.

Only the Jindan stage can generate Dan fire in the body, so below the Jindan stage, people usually use earth fire to refine pills and tools, or burn spiritual wood as a fire source. Ganyang Peak is the only mountain on Qingyun Island with earth fire, so you only need to set up a formation to draw the earth fire up and use it.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Daozong slapped the wall of the tripod with one palm, and the lid of the tripod flew up. Then he poured a piece of fine iron as thick as an arm and a box of golden sand into the tripod, and with a wave of his sleeves, the lid of the tripod was closed again.

Then he chanted a spell, and a series of mysterious spells were continuously injected into the gilded tripod.

About twenty breaths later, Li Daozong waved his hand to extinguish the flame, and slapped the wall of the tripod again, and the gilded tripod suddenly rotated 360 degrees.

I saw a fist-sized hole opened at the bottom of the gilded tripod, and a stream of deep red liquid slowly flowed out, like boiling magma.

"Condensate!"

With a light shout from Li Dao Zong, several spells were cast on the crimson liquid.

The crimson liquid rolled like a living thing, and finally formed a short knife several feet long. As time passed, the temperature cooled, and the short knife became solid, and the color turned dark gold.

Three mysterious red runes appeared in his hands at the same time.

"Go!"

The three runes flashed and disappeared into the short knife at the same time. The short knife suddenly lit up and turned red gold.

A first-level low-grade magic weapon needs to be engraved with three magic prohibitions, a medium-grade one with six, and a high-grade one with nine. Nine magic prohibitions form a spiritual prohibition, and so on.

A low-grade spiritual weapon requires three spiritual prohibitions and twenty-seven magic prohibitions. The formation of a low-grade magic weapon requires two hundred and forty-three magic prohibitions and twenty-seven spiritual prohibitions. This is the most difficult part of refining.

The higher the level of the treasure to be refined, the more restrictions need to be engraved, so it is not surprising that it takes several years or even decades to refine a high-level treasure, and the same is true for alchemy.

Li Dao Zong took out a gourd and poured clear water on the short knife.

"Sizzle!"

A large amount of water mist rose up. Li Dao Zong waved lightly, and the water mist dissipated. A red-gold short knife emitting spiritual light was suspended in the air. Li Dao Zong also ended the refining here.

Li Changsheng took the red-gold knife in his hand, and there was a warm feeling on it. It was the first time he saw the complete process of the formation of a magic weapon, and he was amazed.

"Sheng'er, you try it!"

"Okay!"

Li Changsheng nodded, took a deep breath, opened his mouth and spit out a golden flame that fell to the bottom of the gilded tripod. Seeing this scene, Li Dao Zong couldn't help but reveal a touch of envy in his eyes.

Li Changsheng held his breath and concentrated. After the cauldron was preheated, he immediately poured the refined iron and diamond sand into the cauldron. Just as he closed the lid, a muffled sound suddenly came from the cauldron.

"Oops!"

"Bang!"

As the cauldron shook, a puff of black smoke came out from the ears of the cauldron.

Li Changsheng opened the lid of the cauldron and saw that the refined iron and diamond sand had disappeared. Only a little bit of black charcoal was left. He was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his first refining would end with the furnace exploding.

"Sheng'er, your advantage in refining weapons now is that your spiritual awareness is stronger than that of Qi-refining cultivators, but you have almost no basic skills. The density of refined iron is greater than that of diamond sand, and the melting points of the two are different. You should melt the refined iron first, and then melt the diamond sand."

"Grandpa, you are not..."

"I am a second-level weapon refiner. First-level magic weapons are common for me. You are not even a rookie now."

"And your dry Yang true fire is so powerful. If you don't control the temperature, you can burn the materials into ashes in an instant. What can you use to refine?"

Li Dao Zong did not give his grandson face. In his profession, he had no tolerance for Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng nodded silently, and then continued to refine. This time he deliberately controlled the temperature, melting the refined iron first and then the diamond sand, and there was no mistake in this step.

After the molten iron flowed out, Li Changsheng used his spiritual sense to condense it into the shape of a red gold knife.

Seeing this scene, Li Daozong nodded secretly. The spiritual sense of the foundation-building period is strong. It is impossible to condense the shape of a magic weapon out of thin air when learning to refine a weapon in the Qi Refining period. It can only be poured into a fixed model, which is a bit troublesome.

After the blade cooled down, Li Changsheng formed three magic weapon restriction runes with his hands.

As the runes sank into the blade, a flash of light flashed and disappeared. Li Changsheng quickly cooled it with water, and then took the red gold knife he had refined to Li Daozong for inspection.

"Grandpa, I succeeded!"

"It's not about refining it into the shape of a knife. It also depends on the quality of the magic weapon. It's called success if it can be sold."

Li Daozong said solemnly.

Then he picked up the two red gold knives and hit them.

"Crack!"

One of the red gold knives broke with a sound, which was the one refined by Li Changsheng.

"You call this success?"

Li Changsheng smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

Li Dao Zong explained: "You were afraid that the dry Yang fire would burn the materials clean, so you didn't control the temperature well. When melting the two materials, the impurities were not extracted cleanly and were hidden in the blade, resulting in a decline in quality."

"But you were able to refine it the first time, which is better than many people. As long as you practice diligently, you will soon be able to step into the way of refining weapons."

Li Dao Zong first pointed out Li Changsheng's shortcomings, and then affirmed him, but adopted an impartial teaching method.

"Yes, Grandpa!"
