Chapter 348 Refining Black Gold Stone

"You don't have a storage bag?"

Seeing Tang Fei holding the secret book and grinning, Lu Li asked.

Tang Fei nodded, "I had it when I was very young, but it was stolen by someone."

Lu Li thought about it, and found a storage ring in the Space Hall. He then threw some things he didn't need and 50,000 low-grade spirit stones into the storage ring and handed it to Tang Fei:

"There are 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, a piece of Hidden God Jade, a few bottles of first-level Yang Yuan Dan, and some miscellaneous things. It's your apprenticeship gift."

Tang Fei's eyes lit up and he took it quickly, "Thank you, Master."

Lu Li nodded and smiled, "You're welcome, but I want to tell you that the master leads you to practice. The master is also very poor and needs to practice, so you understand..."

Tang Fei thought about it and said seriously, "A Fei will definitely earn a lot of spirit stones for the master to practice in the future."

"Hehe, you kid."

Lu Li patted Tang Fei's shoulder gently, "I'm very satisfied that you can be self-sufficient. Of course, if you can really make money for the master, the master will be more satisfied."

It turns out that this can satisfy the master.

After all, Tang Fei was just a child who had never left the Tang family and had never seen the world. After hearing what Lu Li said, he secretly engraved this sentence in his heart and it became his eternal obsession.

It was this obsession that made him stronger and stronger...

Half a month later.

October 25th.

In the western part of Jiulong Mountain, Xuanguang City.

Xuanguang City is neither in Xingyun Mansion nor Taihua Mansion, but in the southeast corner of Liuyun Mansion. It is under the jurisdiction of Xuanguangmen, a second-rate force in Liuyun Mansion.

Being able to govern one of the three major cities in Jiulong Mountain, the background of Xuanguangmen is naturally not simple.

Behind it is the first force in Liuyun Mansion, Wangqing Valley.

There is a single-story shop in the north of Xuanguang City, called Baiduantang, which is a place for some casual weapon refiners to refine weapons. They only need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to use the weapon refining room inside.

However, due to the scarcity of weapon refiners, the business of Baiduantang does not seem to be very good. There was no one entering or leaving the wide storefront for a long time.

The shopkeeper Zheng Tong was bored and was sleeping soundly on the recliner behind the counter. His thunderous snoring made passers-by look at him sideways, thinking: It is a miracle that such a shop can still be opened.

Few people know that this Baiduan Hall is actually the property of the City Lord's Mansion, so no matter how bad the business is, it can still be opened.

At this time, on the street in front of the shop.

A young man in white clothes walked towards the direction of Baiduan Hall, looking left and right all the way.

Beside the young man, there was a big-headed black dog, whining and following the young man.

Arrived at the door of Baiduan Hall.

Lu Li finally stopped, looked down at the little one, grinned, "It seems that you can walk by yourself."

Then he walked into the shop.

The little one's eyes were full of resentment, grinning at Lu Li's back, and then quickly followed in.

Dongdongdong!

Lu Li walked to the counter and knocked on it, "Hey, wake up!"

The sound was not loud, but it startled Zheng Tong, who was sleeping soundly. He opened his eyes and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. He stood up and smiled, "Sir, do you want to refine weapons?"

Lu Li nodded, "How much does it cost?"

Zheng Tong rubbed his hands, "Three hundred low-grade spirit stones, one month, or fifteen low-grade spirit stones a day."

Lu Li thought about it and took out three hundred low-grade spirit stones, "One month."

Zheng Tong's face was happy, and then he waved the spirit stones and put them away, "Okay, sir, please follow me."

After that, he walked into the small door on the right side of the counter.

Lu Li hurriedly followed, and after passing through the small door, Lu Li found that there was a long passage behind the door, and the walls on both sides of the passage were made of stone.

After walking a dozen steps forward, the first stone door appeared, but there was a sign with the words "Do Not Disturb" hanging on it, indicating that there was someone inside.

Zheng Tong did not stop and continued to walk forward.

He walked to the stone door numbered ‘107’ before stopping. Then he took out a jade tablet and stuck it to the stone door. After a flash of light, Zheng Tong pushed open the stone door:

“Sir, how about this one?”

Hearing this, Lu Li walked to the door and looked inside. He found that the layout inside was really quite simple. In addition to a mechanical furnace, there was only a cooling water tank and a square stone platform.

However, this was enough.

Lu Li retracted his gaze and nodded, “Let’s take this one.”

“Okay, sir, you are busy, I will take my leave first.”

“…”

After Zheng Tong left, Lu Li took the little one into the stone room and closed the stone door. It was quiet inside instantly. The noise from the street outside could not be heard in the stone room at all.

He had already refined the Shuiyun Stone at Feihe Gate, but he had not started to shape it yet. This time he planned to refine the Leijie Stone and Qingwen Wujin Stone first, and then shape them together.

The method of refining is not difficult, and there is no need to use a hammer like ordinary blacksmiths.

He first took out six pieces of blue-veined black gold stone and placed them on the stone platform.

Then he walked forward and turned on the furnace.

Whoosh——

As the switch was turned on, the red flames came out in an instant, and the scorching temperature made the air around the furnace boil.

"The fire is good."

Lu Li couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw this. Although the layout inside was a bit crude, the fire was really good, because the higher the temperature of the fire, the faster it would be refined.

Then, he stretched out his hand and a fist-sized piece of blue-veined black gold stone flew up from the stone platform and flew into the flame under Lu Li's control.

Zizizizi...

Instantly, the blue-veined black gold stone in the flame began to emit white smoke.

After a while, the surface of the black gold stone showed signs of liquefaction. Lu Li quickly controlled the melted liquid on the outer layer to flow to one side, revealing the unmelted part inside, and continued to refine.

In terms of the quenching step alone, it is actually not difficult. Almost all cultivators in the foundation-building stage can do it easily. The difficulty of refining the weapon lies in the rune engraving at the back.

Otherwise, no matter how well you refine it, it is just a pile of expensive materials, which cannot be considered as refining a weapon because for a magic weapon, in addition to its own materials, the runes are the most important thing.

About a quarter of an hour later, the fist-sized blue-veined black gold stone completely turned into a soft and sticky liquid from the outside to the inside.

However, Lu Li did not stop there, but controlled the essence to float above the flame and continued to refine it.

As time went by, some grayish-white impurities began to appear on the surface of the molten iron, which was already considered the essence. However, these impurities did not stay for long and were burned into white smoke by the high temperature and disappeared.

This went back and forth until no more impurities were revealed. Lu Li then threw the refined essence into the sink.

As the water mist rose, a ball of blue-veined black gold stone essence the size of an egg, shiny black, and mixed with blue lines, was refined...

After melting and shaping, it can become a good magic weapon after engraving runes...
