Chapter 232 Trying to refine weapons

"The method of casting is to use spiritual consciousness to communicate with the power of flames, melt the spiritual iron, and then use spiritual thoughts to control the fire to cast the shape to create a magic weapon."

"What the weapon refiner needs to do is to remove the impurities in the spiritual iron during this process, ensuring their original purity and degree of cohesion, and trying to achieve the perfect state of the magic weapon."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured in his mouth, picked up a prepared piece of first-level spiritual material, and planned to start practicing with the simplest first-level magic weapon.

"Om..."

The magic formula in his hand was pinched and touched gently on the formation eye of the casting platform, and the entire formation lit up instantly.

The formation pulled the earth fire in the abyss, and a wisp of spiritual fire rose instantly, and the scorching temperature brought a trace of heat to the face.

The spiritual fire burned slowly, and the surrounding temperature gradually dropped. Zhou Yiqiao stared at the tongue of fire licking the spiritual material, not daring to slack off at all, for fear that something would go wrong.

This is a job that tests your patience. It takes a very long time to cast a spiritual material, let alone Zhou Yiqiao's first time trying it.

Fortunately, he has a strong mind, and his years of experience in refining elixirs have molded him into an extremely patient character, so he is not in a hurry about this process of refining weapons.

Zhou Yiqiao was multitasking, controlling the spiritual fire with one hand and holding the spiritual material in his hand with the other.

The spiritual material gradually softened under the tongue of fire. After being roasted by the spiritual fire until it was soft, he used his spiritual power to wrap it in it.

Countless hair-thin touches poured into Zhou Yiqiao's mind, and the powerful power of spiritual consciousness continuously sorted out the impurities of the spiritual materials in the process.

The color of the spiritual material gradually faded in the flames. After a stick of incense, the spiritual material completely softened into a viscous liquid, exuding a strong smell of rust.

Zhou Yiqiao's expression was solemn, his hands kept changing the techniques, and one seal after another continued to slap on the spiritual iron.

Complex runes flew out from the palm and landed on the liquid, suddenly blooming with brilliance. One character after another floated in it, shining with dazzling luster.

The power of divine consciousness is attached to every part of the spiritual material, and Zhou Yiqiao controls the flowing liquid to transform into the prototype of the magical weapon in the blazing flames.

When the flames gradually extinguished and the magic weapon finally began to take shape, Zhou Yiqiao's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

There was a tired look in his eyes, but he didn't take any rest. He quickly put the magic weapon that had been tempered in the furnace fire into the spirit quenching liquid.

This is the method of condensation and quenching, which is the most important step in the forging and casting of magical instruments.

As soon as the hot prototype of the magical weapon touched the spirit quenching liquid, a burst of steaming mist suddenly rose up, filling the entire weapon refining room.

The surrounding spiritual energy swarmed towards the magic weapon in the spirit quenching liquid, converging into this newly formed weapon.

This state lasted for as long as a stick of incense. When the white mist gradually dissipated, a faint glow bloomed from the liquid.

Small fluctuations set off ripples in the spirit quenching liquid, and after three breaths, calmness was completely restored.

At this point, the most basic forging of the magical weapon has been completed.

Zhou Yiqiao threw the forged weapon in his hand on the table nearby, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sat down on the chair nearby, breathing heavily.

The method of refining weapons is different from that of elixir refining. It consumes more spiritual consciousness. In addition, Zhou Yiqiao was too focused on his first attempt. Even with his powerful spiritual consciousness, he was exhausted at this moment.

He took out a magic elixir from his storage bag, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a moment.

After his consciousness returned to fullness, Zhou Yiqiao opened his eyes and looked at the magic weapon on the table again.

This is the most common spirit-gathering sword in the world of cultivation, and it is one of the magic weapons commonly used by many monks who have just entered the immortal path.

Although the name is a bit ordinary, its power is quite good, and it is definitely the best among low-level magic weapons.

Due to the huge amount of use, the weapon refiners have continued to improve the forging method of the Spirit Gathering Sword, and now it is extremely simple.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yiqiao chose this sword as his magical weapon.

But even so, the Spirit Gathering Sword on the table at this time did not satisfy Zhou Yiqiao.

Although the blade of the sword is extremely sharp and has a faint cold glow, its spiritual power fluctuations are weak, and it is three points weaker than the most ordinary swords.

It can be said that this sword failed to meet the standards of a magical weapon.

Zhou Yiqiao hooked his fingers and took the Spirit Gathering Sword into his hand. He carefully observed the sword body and frowned more and more.

After a moment, Zhou Yiqiao raised his hand and waved his sword, his spiritual power circulated, and a fierce and murderous aura suddenly broke out, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Qiang!"

The long sword slashed out, and the sword body trembled. Before the sword move could be condensed, the Spirit Gathering Sword made a crisp sound and broke in response.

"There is insufficient spiritual power in the sword body, and its quality is only better than ordinary iron. It cannot even be regarded as a low-grade magic weapon."

Zhou Yiqiao reached out and turned the broken pieces on the ground into powder with a flick of his hand, and concluded in a light tone.

Before coming to Fengxi Cliff, he had been prepared to practice hard for a long time. The poor quality of the Soul Gathering Sword forged at this time was not surprising to Zhou Yiqiao.

He himself is just a person with ordinary qualifications.

Being able to get to where we are today is mostly due to the boundless resources provided by the moonstone space and some trivial efforts.

Now that his first attempt at refining the weapon was unfavorable, for him, it was just a repeat of the failure he had suffered when refining the elixir.

His heart was not affected, and he felt a little pity.

After restoring the entire refining room to its original state, Zhou Yiqiao once again took out a piece of first-level spiritual material and began to continue refining it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, March flies by.

"laugh!"

As the pure white mist dissipated, Zhou Yiqiao stood in an open space in the weapon refining room holding a silver dagger more than half a foot long, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"It finally worked."

Zhou Yiqiao said with a smile.

In the first two months of these three months, all the spirit-gathering swords he refined ended up being scrapped. Although the price of the first-level spiritual materials was just a drop in the bucket for Zhou Yiqiao, gathering the sand into the tower also consumed a lot of spirit stones. .

Fortunately, after experiencing hundreds of failures, a month ago, he finally had a flash of inspiration, and when the spirit iron solution was finalizing, he changed the method of spiritual control.

When the magical weapon was cast, he separated a part of his spiritual consciousness, and under the guidance of his spiritual thoughts, he controlled the shape change of each spiritual material while absorbing the spiritual power in the world.

Although this method consumed Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual consciousness exponentially, it at least allowed him to successfully forge the first quality Soul Gathering Sword.

After another month, Zhou Yiqiao repeatedly refined the control method, and finally today, he successfully forged the first low-grade magical weapon of excellent quality, the Spirit Gathering Sword.
