Chapter 43 Passed (Please Read On)

Two quarters of an hour later.

Wu Tao and Jin Ke came to Fangquan Road. At the entrance of the Wuquanshan Weapon Refining Hall's assessment branch, two long lines were lined up. Every casual cultivator who lined up had a strong smell of Spark Stone on his body.

It has a strong smell, and you can tell from the first smell that it has been refined for many years.

He found an immortal cultivator wearing the uniform of a branch of the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall and asked respectfully: "Sir, are you recruiting casual cultivators here?"

The cultivator in question looked at Wu Tao, who was quite young, and said: "See the two long lines at the door. The one on the left has a first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificate. The one on the right has reached the weapon refiner level, but there is no Passed the first-level intermediate weapon refining certificate."

"Thank you."

Wu Tao thanked him. Fortunately, he came to ask in advance. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome to get in the wrong line.

When he came to Jin Ke, Shopkeeper Yu just asked Jin Ke to send him here, so he still wanted to thank Jin Ke for sending him there: "Senior Jin, this is the territory of the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall. No one should dare to cause trouble here. , If Senior Jin has something urgent, just go ahead and get busy, I don’t think it can be done in a while.”

Jin Ke thought for a moment and said, "Sure, Master Li needs to be more careful when he returns after completing the assessment."

After watching Jin Ke go back, Wu Tao came to the right and lined up.

In fact, the total number of people on both sides was less than a hundred.

Among the casual weapon refining masters, first-level junior weapon refining masters are the most common, and intermediate weapon refining requires higher talents. Therefore, even if the weapon refining hall recruits the entire West Outer City, it may not be able to recruit more than a hundred people at most.

Once a casual cultivator can refine a first-level or seventh-level magic weapon, he or she will live in the inner city, or join some larger small cultivating forces. The life of a casual cultivator in the outer city is not comparable to that of a casual cultivator in the outer city.

Level 1, Level 6, and Level 1, Level 7, although there is only one level difference, it is more difficult than casual cultivators to break through the foundation building.

The main reason is that the financial resources are not strong enough, and it is extremely difficult to support a first-level and seventh-level weapon refiner.

After waiting in line for about half an hour, they finally entered the Weapon Refining Hall. A master of the Weapon Refining Hall took them into a main hall to wait. Someone came to register the spiritual materials they needed for refining their weapons.

After registering, he waited for almost half an hour before Wu Tao entered a refining room with nine other casual cultivators.

There are ten refining positions in the refining room, with spark stones and spiritual materials placed on them.

"Li Mo, weapon refining position No. 1."

"Zhou Jiong, weapon refining position No. 2."

After the refining master announced the refining positions of the ten people, and waited for everyone to stand at their refining positions, he said: "The spiritual materials you need have been prepared. Now, a stick of incense Time, if you cannot refine a first-level intermediate magic weapon, it will be judged as a failure."

Hearing that it was a stick of incense, the expressions of several loose cultivator masters changed slightly.

The casual weapon masters do not have any weapon refining techniques. They are all from wild backgrounds. They usually do not have a large amount of spiritual materials to improve their proficiency in refining magic weapons. The time for refining a stick of incense is indeed tight for them.

"Start!" The Weapon Refining Hall doesn't care about you. Just hearing the start, a stick of incense has already been erected.

Wu Tao took a deep breath and looked around. The other nine weapon refiners had already ignited the spark stones and started to refine the magic weapons.

But he didn't. Instead, he swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill first to restore himself to the best state. It took almost ten minutes for Fang to feel full of energy, and then he started to throw the Spark Stone into the underworld.

The weapon refiner in the weapon refining hall took a look and saw Wu Tao's move. He didn't express it on his face, but he was extremely appreciative in his heart.

Hundred-tough wood, sky spider silk, demon silk... Wu Tao has already achieved 100% success in refining the soul-absorbing robe. Perhaps it is the setting of his main profession. As long as he becomes more and more proficient, there will be no risk of failure. .

He usually refines the soul-absorbing robe, because the process is as skillful as an oil seller, and does not require a stick of incense. But in the eyes of everyone, Wu Tao naturally has to choose to control the speed, be low-key, and get third place in the exam. .

Methodically, after processing the hundred tough wood, sky spider silk, and demon silk, Wu Tao began to initially refine the appearance of the robe, and then carved out the soul-absorbing restrictions.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Wu Tao's dantian trembled slightly, and he squeezed a few drops of sweat out of his forehead, putting on a very difficult expression on his face.

After Xie Tao Fangming's incident, Wu Tao understood that when he didn't know the other person's character, he had to learn to hide his clumsiness appropriately.

What if you perform too well and the other person doesn't appreciate you, but is jealous of you?

It's best to behave modestly.

Time passed slowly, and only an inch of the stick of incense was left to burn out. At this time, there was a cry of surprise, but it was the San Cultivator Master in position 7. He was holding the successfully refined magic weapon in his hand. He was not happy. Zisheng shouted: "I succeeded, hahaha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, just a moment later, another person successfully refined a magic weapon.

The stick of incense is almost finished burning.

Wu Tao looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the remaining seven weapon masters all looked anxious and their minds were unstable. When their minds became unstable, they heard three "Zizzizhi" sounds, and three casual weapon masters restrained them. Interrupted, refining failed.

Seeing this, the other casual cultivator masters hurriedly calmed down and did not dare to think wildly.

"One stick of incense, time..."

"combine!"

"arrive."

At the last moment, Wu Tao finally refined the soul-absorbing robe. He had a look of joy and fear on his face. He held the soul-absorbing robe in both hands and presented it respectfully: "Sir, I have refined it."

"Very good, three of them succeeded, not bad. Those who failed to refine it, please go out. You three, follow me."

The three successful people followed the refiners of the Refining Hall out of the refinery room, and then came to a hall similar to a conference room. There were many rows of long tables in the hall, and more than a dozen individual refiners were sitting and reading the contracts in their hands.

"Two junior brothers, these three people do not have the credentials of the first-level intermediate refiners, but they have just passed the first-level fourth-level refiner assessment. The next step is to hand it over to you."

"Okay, Senior Brother Zhang, take care."

The refiner surnamed Zhang said to Wu Tao and the other two: "You are here, look at the recruitment contract."

The two refiners in charge of the recruitment contract immediately took out three contracts and handed them to Wu Tao and the others: "You find a seat and look at the contract. If there is no problem, sign and press the palm seal."

Wu Tao took the recruitment contract, found an empty seat and sat down, and began to read it carefully one by one.

After reading it, Wu Tao thought to himself: This treatment is indeed not as good as earning spirit stones by working alone, but in order to save his life, it is still acceptable.

This contract roughly says it.

If you sign the contract, you will go to the inner city to work for the Refining Hall to refine magic tools. You need to refine for four hours a day, rest for seven days, and have food and accommodation provided. You will get five medium-grade spirit stones a month.

Generally, the top-level individual cultivators can earn about eight medium-grade spirit stones a month after reaching the first-level intermediate level, excluding the number of failures.

Wu Tao has a professional bonus and cannot be considered a serious individual cultivator.

Then, during the work period, magic tools, talismans, pills, and spiritual medicines are all given to individual cultivators at preferential prices.

After the war with the Ghost Dao Sect is over, the Refining Hall will open a one-month refining knowledge explanation for all individual cultivators, and will also take out five first-level advanced magic tool refining secrets for explanation.

In this era when refining knowledge is monopolized, this point is undoubtedly very attractive to individual cultivators.

Finally, a new mark will be stamped on the first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificate issued. With this mark, it means that you have made contributions to the war cause of Wuquan Mountain, and you can enjoy tax exemption for one year and half-price rent for one year.

Wu Tao looked at the second item, which showed that there were discounts on elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc., so he gave up the idea of ​​buying life-saving talismans and went to the inner city weapon refinery hall to buy them, which was more cost-effective.

"Five medium-grade spirit stones a month is too little for me, but most of the weapon refiners who come here to be summoned are here for the protection of Wuquan Mountain. Hey, these days, safety is the most valuable."

Wu Tao no longer hesitated and directly signed his name and pressed his handprint.
