Chapter 6 Robes
It took a long time for Wu Tao to recover from the failure and cheer up a little.
Failure is the mother of success.
Failure is also an experience. We should learn to find areas for improvement from failure to increase the chance of success for the next refining.
Wu Tao changed his clothes and sat by the ground hall. The spark stone had burned out. In fact, the first refining would fail. He had prepared himself mentally and felt that he could face this result.
However, he was too poor.
The cost of failure was too high, which still made him feel heartbroken.
"Although the difference between carving restrictions on the restriction practice board and carving restrictions during the refining process is almost negligible, there is still a little difference. Carving restrictions during the refining process is more delicate than carving restrictions on the restriction practice board, and the control of spiritual energy is more precise."
"No wonder it is said that the masters of the four arts of cultivation are all made with resources."
"Only by trial and error again and again can you embark on the road to success. Without resource support, it is difficult to go far."
"I have the talent bonus of a refiner, but I can't rely on this. I need to work harder and comprehend more to reduce the cost of trial and error."
"There are four spark stones left, and one kilogram of demon silk left. There is only one chance, only success, not failure."
"Today I have consumed too much energy, so I can only refine it tomorrow."
After summarizing, Wu Tao rubbed his slightly swollen forehead and said to himself: "Last night I had very poor sleep quality and my mental state was a little worse. If the neighbors don't make noise tonight, I will be in a better spirit. Will I be closer to success?"
"Or, go and ask Zhang Li..."
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Wu Tao extinguished it and shook his head repeatedly: "They are running a business. I am just a neighbor to them. We have a shallow relationship. What reason do I have to ask them to close for a day?"
"Don't think she is easy to talk to, but what if..."
Wu Tao was also afraid of hitting a wall. Without spiritual stones and living in such a poor infrastructure, he could only endure these troubles.
"In the final analysis, it's all about poverty."
He couldn't help but sigh.
It was already morning, and his stomach began to send out hunger signals. Wu Tao got up to cook. After eating, he sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced Sanyang Gong, absorbing the thin spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth to restore himself.
After meditating for two hours, he finally recovered his spirit.
At this time, he couldn't help but miss the time when the original owner was not possessed by evil spirits. At that time, he was still working as a miner. Although he lived a tight life, he could sometimes practice with spirit stones.
If he used spirit stones, he could recover in half an hour.
"If you miss the past, then you must be living a bad life now."
Wu Tao sighed again and said, "I heard that the disciples of Qingling Sect Wuquan Mountain all practice with elixirs, and the high-level ones just hold the spirit veins to practice. I wonder when I can hold the spirit veins to practice?"
Wu Tao's mentality at this time was like a poor man guessing whether the emperor used a golden hoe or a silver hoe to farm.
It was almost dusk.
Refining robes in the morning and recovering in the afternoon, a day passed.
Eat!
After eating, Wu Tao took out the refining book "The Refining Method and Five Restrictions of the First-level Robe" and read it by candlelight for half an hour, even though he had memorized it by heart.
When it was time to go to bed, Wu Tao just lay down and half sat up again, his face was inexplicably tangled.
"Or, go and ask Zhang Li..."
"I only have one chance to refine tomorrow. If I fail, I will not survive this disaster. It's a matter of life and death, so what if I hit a wall? If I succeed, I will sleep well and be in good spirits. A little more success rate may save my life."
After a moment of inner struggle, Wu Tao got up, put on his shoes, and thought as he stood up and opened the door: "Maybe, I can do this..."
He went out and came to Zhang Li's door. There was a faint candlelight in the house. It was still early at this time. Zhang Li had not opened the door for business. Taking a deep breath, Wu Tao raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, footsteps sounded in the house and the door opened. Zhang Li saw Wu Tao with a little shock on her face, but she knew that Wu Tao was in a state of evil and would not come to patronize her business.
Even if he did, she would not dare to accept it!
So, Zhang Li asked, "Daoyou Li, what's the matter?"
Wu Tao looked at Zhang Li, who was wearing underwear, and stammered for a while before saying, "Daoyou Zhang, I wonder if the promise you made last time still counts?"
"Promise, what promise?" Zhang Li couldn't remember it for a moment.
Wu Tao said directly, "Daoyou Zhang said last time that after I get rid of the evil spirit, I will have a free one time. It's better to do it tonight than to choose a day. "
After saying that, he was obviously relieved.
Zhang Li heard this, her eyes widened, and she cursed angrily for a long time, "You want me to die, you are hiding now, and tonight, I think the evil spirit has entered your brain, you are all unconscious, get out!"
As he said that, he was about to push Wu Tao.
Wu Tao realized that he had not made his words clear, and explained: "Zhang Daoyou, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
"That's not what I meant, then what do you mean?" Zhang Li stopped pushing him, crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes at him.
"What I meant is that you don't open the door to receive guests tonight, and then tonight is considered as receiving me. Of course, I won't really do it with you. In short, that promise is also fulfilled by Zhang Daoyou." Wu Tao explained with some effort.
Zhang Li understood, stared at Wu Tao for a long time, and saw that Wu Tao had a circle of dark circles around his eyes, and smiled: "If you don't explain it earlier, I'll scare the hell out of you. OK, OK, I understand, you can go back!"
Wu Tao quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I'm grateful for your kindness."
Zhang Li was a trustworthy person, and she hung up a sign that night to close the business for one night, so that Wu Tao had a good sleep. He slept until dawn, and his energy was full, and the dark circles under his eyes disappeared.
When he came back from the night incense, he thanked Zhang Li again.
Wu Tao took a bath in the bathroom to wash away all the bad luck, changed into dry clothes, and sat by the ground hall.
All the work was ready.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Satan, Odin, Zeus... please bless me to succeed!"
"Let's get started!"
After praying to the known gods and Buddhas, Wu Tao threw two star fire stones into the ground hall, ignited the spiritual energy of Sanyang Gong, took the remaining one pound of demon silk cocoons at hand, and began to spin and unscrew the cocoons.
He succeeded in the first and second steps yesterday, and the experience was there, but Wu Tao still did not dare to be careless, and still carefully controlled the spiritual energy and fire.
Time passed quietly in the intense refining work, the spiritual energy was like a shuttle, and the appearance of the robe came into Wu Tao's eyes.
'The last step is to carve the ban. Yesterday, I failed at this step. This time I must keep it steady. '
Wu Tao adjusted his mentality and stopped thinking about failure. He was afraid of pressure in his heart. The spiritual energy was like a knife, carving on the robe one by one, and the progress of the gale ban was getting closer little by little.
"You have triggered the lucky skill of the weapon refiner profession, lucky bonus: 50%!"
'God help me! '
Wu Tao was overjoyed, his spirit and energy did not slacken, his hands became more and more stable, and as the last restriction fell, a complete wind restriction instantly appeared on the robe.
"Merge!"
"Refine!"
"Merge!"
With three light shouts, the wind restriction fell on the robe, and the two merged seamlessly, the spiritual light flashed, and soon it was retracted.
Wu Tao was overjoyed, took the robe, and couldn't help laughing: "Finally it's done, the first-level and second-level wind robe."
"Thank myself, thank the weapon refiner profession, and thank Zhang Li!"
