Chapter 92 Refining Equipment (1/2)
Everyone was curious about what urgent matter Si Mu wanted to see Lin Yu for.
Lin Yu felt happy.
I thought of what Si Mu said to me a few days ago.
It seems that he needs to teach himself some skills.
Whether it was Simu's swordsmanship or his ability to refine weapons, Lin Yu was full of desire.
After everyone finished eating, the brothers worked together and tidied away the pots and pans.
Simu ran into the room and rummaged around alone for a long time.
Finally he went out and waved to Lin Yu who was practicing.
"Xiao Yu, come with me."
"Uncle Master, where are you going?"
Lin Yu asked following Simu.
"If you don't go anywhere else, stay here."
He only walked half a circle around the wooden house and came to the side.
A wooden door was closed.
Looking at the weeds growing in the cracks in the stone pavement at the door, you can tell that no one has been here for a few days.
With Lin Yu in his eyes, he pushed the door open and made a creaking sound.
Some dust fell.
"Ahem."
My eyes were accidentally choked by dust.
Coughing and squinting, he rolled his sleeves.
"Ahem, I haven't been here for a while."
Just waiting for the dust to settle, the two of them stood in the room.
The room was not big, and there was a pile of charcoal piled in the corner.
In the middle is a Bagua furnace half as tall as a person.
The furnace mouth is engraved with complex runes and seals, faintly revealing an ancient and mysterious pressure.
Lin Yu stretched out his finger and lightly touched the Bagua stove.
A layer of dust on my fingertips.
A thick layer of ash fell on the Bagua stove, which made it look a little out of character.
Seeing Lin Yu noticing the dust on the Bagua stove, he smiled awkwardly.
"It's hard to find spiritual materials in the world, and refining the weapon is also very labor-intensive, so I haven't opened the furnace for a long time, uncle."
Although Simu is the least embarrassed among the brothers.
But he was stingy when he first arrived, saving all the money he had and not spending it arbitrarily.
Secondly, as he said, refining weapons is not a simple matter.
Not only does it consume spiritual materials, it also consumes time, mana, and energy.
Some of the magical weapons that Simu uses on his body are practiced by himself, but it is enough to use them, and he does not practice too much.
Magical weapons are not considered consumables. A magic weapon may not break after being used for decades.
So there is no need to turn on the furnace frequently.
Unless someone outside wants to buy it, you can make a lot of money at this time, and you can get both spiritual wealth and money.
But Si Mu also came from an authentic Maoshan family and knew that the Dharma should not be taught lightly.
The same is true for spells, and the same is true for magic weapons.
Unless they know the basics, have a deep friendship, or really need to buy it and have a formal purpose, Simu will generally not give it to outsiders to refine weapons.
Even if you have money, you won’t make it.
Even if he is worried that the magic weapon he has trained will be entrusted to someone else and will help others to do harm, he will also betray his cause and effect and damage his moral character.
After all, magical weapons are relatively powerful and should indeed be controlled.
The combination of several reasons resulted in a layer of ash falling in the refining room.
But it was just time to start over again, after all, a lot of magic weapons were lost this time when dealing with this royal zombie.
It just so happened that I could take this opportunity to teach Lin Yu how to refine weapons.
"I promised you that I will teach you new skills when you are done with this period of work. How about I teach you this weapon refining technique?"
Lin Yu gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, uncle. You are so generous, uncle."
Four eyes smiled.
"How about it? Come out with me this time and it won't be in vain, right?"
"It's not in vain. I've really benefited a lot. When my uncle comes to Renjia Town in the future, I will treat him well and invite him to get a massage, take a bath, and drink foreign tea."
The four eyes smiled even more happily.
"Good boy, good boy, my uncle's love for you has not been in vain."
The four eyes twisted Lin Yu's face happily.
He always liked to twist other people's faces, and now he was able to catch Lin Yu's chubby, round and smooth little face. It was really the ultimate enjoyment.
"But there is no need to drink foreign tea. When my uncle went to the provincial capital to see off clients, I was treated to it. The smell of boiling porridge and boiling water after burning the pot was really unaccustomed to it."
The two of them were talking and laughing, and they decided to clean the room first.
Lin Yu directly threw out two dust-purifying charms.
The breeze blew by, picking up the dust in the house, and went straight out the door, falling to the ground.
In an instant, the refining room, which had not been cleaned for a long time, instantly became spotless.
However, on the ground around the alchemy furnace, the layers of blue bricks still had some burnt black marks. It was obvious that the ashes had merged with the green bricks.
But there is no dust floating on it anymore.
"Good boy, it's so much more convenient to have you. Thanks to you, Uncle Master, I can also experience some of the feelings of my ancestors who sought immortality hundreds of years ago."
Hundreds of years ago, although the avenue was not as prosperous as it was in ancient times, there were all kinds of people who practiced and developed various arts.
Get closer and closer to people’s lives.
Perhaps because it is difficult to walk on the great road, many practitioners pay more and more attention to the quality of life.
Then he put his mind into this daily life, and used more and more talismans in his life.
It's a pity that as time went on, practice became more and more difficult over the hundreds of years.
It's hard to practice Taoism reluctantly, so naturally you don't have more energy to focus on insignificant life experiences.
Taoist Priest Simu said as he patted the weapon refining furnace in front of him.
"Uncle Master, this furnace is used for refining weapons. Can you make alchemy? Do you have any alchemy furnace? Does this furnace need to be built by someone?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
Even though I have heard all kinds of theories, but without an explanation from anyone within the sect, I still just make guesses.
"Alchemy furnace? There are some who divide it, and some who don't. It depends on personal habits."
"As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's clean, there's nothing that needs to be divided. Taishang Laojun's Eight Diagrams Furnace can refine both the Nine-turn Golden Pill and the Nine-Tooth Nail Rake, which are pretty much the same."
"If those casual cultivators naturally want to build one specially, you are our Maoshan disciple, so you don't need to consider these things. In our Maoshan ancestral court, the ancestors of the past generations have left countless stoves."
"There are big ones, small ones, gold ones, silver ones, copper ones, and iron ones. There are simple ones they used to make when they first started practicing, and there are also expensive ones they use after they become successful in practice."
"When you learn it from me, a letter will be sent to ask your senior uncle to approve one for you. There are many good stoves. When the time comes, my uncle will help you get one that is several times better than mine."
Lin Yu thanked him repeatedly.
If he didn't have four eyes to open his mouth, he might have to embarrass his master.
After all, the master and uncle seemed a little unhappy.
He patted the Bagua furnace in front of him with all his strength.
There was a buzzing sound.
The mana was activated, and the furnace lid rose into the sky, automatically rotated in mid-air, and fell aside.
A faint green smoke suddenly rose from the furnace, and then floated into the air. The air was filled with the fragrance of burning vegetation. The aroma of rosin and locust branches blend together to make you feel refreshed.
Lin Yu couldn't help but take two deep sniffs.
Simu took it out again and carried the cloth bag with him.
The cloth bag was deformed by the heavy things inside.
When he unwrapped the package, he found exactly what he had rummaged through for a long time.
The first thing that caught his eyes was the broken sword in his fourth eye.
There are also several copper ingots in the package.
Taoist Simu squinted his eyes, looked at the broken sword in his hand, and then glanced at his nephew Lin Yu, with a smile on his face.
He said with a hint of ridicule: "Although this sword is my favorite thing, it will inevitably get damaged after being used for a long time. It just so happens that I will take this opportunity to teach you how to refine the weapon and give it a 'new clothes' at the same time."
It's all nonsense.
It's true that this sword has been used for a long time. After all, it is almost coated with pulp.
But the beloved may not be.
After all, it's not very valuable.
Of course, it may be true love. After all, he is stingy and loves even the cheapest things.
Lin Yu ignored his nonsense and asked respectfully: "Uncle Master, what's the point of refining a weapon? How can I reforge this broken sword and regain its magical power? Should I melt it into copper again and pour it? Or forge it like a blacksmith? ?”
Four eyes shook his head and chuckled.
"There is no other operation required to shape these simple magic weapons, just in this furnace."
He stretched out his hand and pointed lightly at the stove cover. The green smoke dispersed, and a gentle flame ignited in the stove.
Lin Yu focused his eyes and saw that in the flames, the rosin was slowly melting, blending with the smoke from the locust branches, forming a wonderful scene.
"There are rosin and locust branches in it."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Turose resin and locust tree branches? What's so special about these two?"
Taoist Simu smiled and replied: "When rosin burns, the flame is gentle and long-lasting, which can control the temperature of the fire; the locust branches can activate magical powers and help you form a real magical weapon.
As "Baopuzi" says: 'Turose resin controls the fire, and locust branches lead the spirit.' The combination of the two can make the magic weapon more stable and increase your chance of success in refining the weapon. "
Simu twirled his mustache.
After thinking for a while, he said: "To refine a simple magic weapon, if the weapon refiner is not strong enough, he really needs to hammer it first, simply create a weapon embryo, and then put it in the weapon refining furnace and forge it with magic power."
"For simple magic weapons like mine, you don't need to hammer again. But if you have higher requirements for the magic weapon, naturally the more detailed it is, the better."
"I heard that when immortals forge magical weapons, they often invite gods to help. The magical weapons are suspended above the Bagua furnace, receiving fire while being forged by the gods."
Simu raised his head as he spoke, looking at the beams of the house with some fascination.
"But this kind of real artifact is beyond our imagination."
"Maybe...maybe you'll have a chance in the future."
He lowered his head and looked at Lin Yu with bright eyes.
"Okay, no more words, let's start the weapon refining."
After he finished speaking, he motioned to Lin Yu to put the broken sword into the Bagua furnace.
He took some charcoal and put it at the bottom of the Bagua stove.
He sat in front of the Bagua stove according to the Bagua direction, pinched his fingers and stretched out his hand a little, and the charcoal burned instantly.
With his mana delivered, the flames are somewhat different from ordinary fire.
Spiritual fire formed in the beating, and the temperature in the room instantly rose.
Lin Yu put the broken sword into the furnace, and the fire immediately rose from the bottom and wrapped the sword body. In the flames, the sword gradually turned red, as if it was reborn in the fire.
Lin Yu was indeed a little excited when he saw it.
Things like weapon refining are really interesting.
Lin Yu remembered that he liked to watch blacksmiths making iron a long time ago.
Lin Yu observed intently, with excitement in his heart. He studied carefully and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, how is the flame controlled?"
Taoist Four Eyes smiled slightly: "When refining a weapon, the temperature and time of the flame must be controlled properly. If the flame is too strong, the sword body will be deformed, and if the flame is too weak, the sword cannot be refined.
You need to carefully control your own mana, and you can also control it externally to adjust the temperature of the sword body to the optimal state. "
As he said this, he took out a cattail leaf fan, then swung his arms and fanned wildly.
The wind blew in from the air inlet of the Bagua stove, and the flames instantly rose higher and higher.
"Um...this..."
Lin Yu was speechless. For a moment, he felt that this method of refining weapons was a bit un-immortal.
The four eyes seemed to see what Lin Yu was thinking.
Haha laughed.
"Didn't you see that in "Journey to the West" when Taishang Laojun was training Sun Monkey, didn't he still have two children fanning the fire?"
"Uncle Master, the fire we use for refining weapons is not ordinary fire. Is it really useful to use a fan?"
Simu said: "The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Sometimes, what we borrow is not the power of the wind, but the will of the wind. When there is wind and fire, we can prosper."
"Of course, the fan Taishang Laojun uses to fan the wind is not our ordinary cattail fan, but a banana fan, so his fan can help the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Samadhi True Fire."
"What about these two kinds of fire?"
"I won't……"
Forehead……
The four eyes are quite crisp.
"Watch the changes in the flames carefully."
Following the guidance of Taoist Four Eyes, Lin Yu carefully observed the changes in the flames. The fire gradually became stable, and the sword body transformed into a new form in the flames. At this moment, the system prompt sounded in Lin Yu's mind.
[You are learning the art of refining weapons by watching the Bagua furnace refining magic weapons. The fire of rosin blends with the soothing twigs of sophora twigs. Experience +10, experience +15, experience +12...]
[Your understanding of weapon refining is gradually deepening, you have mastered the basics of weapon refining, and your experience is improving...]
The system prompt sounded in Lin Yu's mind, giving him more motivation and confidence. He felt a stream of information rushing into his mind.
After receiving endless information, the understanding of weapon refining emerged like an enlightenment, as if I understood a lot in an instant.
After a long time, Si Mu was already tired and sweating profusely.
Manipulating mana to drive real fire to refine weapons is inherently a very difficult task.
While activating the mana-burning fire refiner and fanning the cattail leaf fan, it not only looks indecent, but is also very tiring.
No wonder even the Supreme Laojun has two boys who make fires.
Fortunately, Si Mu practiced this bronze sword. He had practiced it many times over the years. It's not a truly profound magic weapon.
So I'm not as tired as I thought.
It's just that the hand he used to fan the fan has already become sore.
"Uncle Master, let me help you."
Shimu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
He handed the cattail leaf fan in his hand to Lin Yu.
"Good boy, uncle, I won't be pushy. Pay attention to the changes in the intensity of the fire and listen to my explanation. If I ask you to increase the wind, then increase the wind. If I ask you to stop, then stop."
"Uncle, don't worry."
"Okay, look now, I will turn this broken sword over in the fire, and you will immediately incite it forty-nine times to the Sunda position."
