Chapter 387 Refining
Chapter 387 Refining
The weapon spirit told Chen Yunhao that its strength had not recovered yet and it could not create something out of nothing.
It vaguely remembered that it had many skills and techniques, but its memory may have recovered less than one percent.
So there is no way to create something out of nothing, but just like modifying a martial art, one can combine all the various weapon refining methods that Chen Yunhao knows, extract their essence, and create a new weapon refining technique.
Refining weapons is the same as refining pills. First of all, cultivators with fire-attributed spiritual roots have more advantages and are more talented.
Secondly, the process of refining equipment is similar to that of refining medicine. It is also necessary to refine and fuse various spiritual materials, add various array patterns to the magic weapon through spells, and finally it will take shape.
The refining process is not difficult, because alchemy requires more control over details than refining equipment.
If one can refine the fourth-level pill, then refining the third-level magic weapon will be a piece of cake.
Therefore, refining various spiritual materials is not a problem. Even during the refining process, refining and extraction are easy.
Whether it is alchemy or refining equipment, there are schools, and the techniques, formations, etc. are all different.
Just like martial arts, there are different levels of skills, so the magic weapons refined by each weapon refiner are also of varying quality. The same magic weapon refined by ten people will have ten different qualities.
Therefore, it is difficult to standardize magic weapons. Even if some weapon-refining sects produce a large number of a certain kind of magic weapon, each one is different and there will be subtle differences.
Chen Yunhao was also unable to refine two identical magic weapons.
Except for the first two years when his cultivation level reached the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Chen Yunhao spent almost all the time until the tenth year on the floating island.
Ten times the time of eight years, in order to master the advanced refining technique, he spent nearly a hundred years refining.
It makes me mentally exhausted, but studying one thing for so long does produce results.
Chen Yunhao really managed to refine a top-grade magic weapon on the floating island.
He held his breath and would not come out until he had refined a top-grade magic weapon.
If you want to improve your overall strength, cultivation is one aspect, and the magic weapon in your hand is another.
The battle with the sixth-level demon ten years ago really excited him.
He truly realized his own shortcomings, so he madly studied the art of refining weapons, which is also a disguised way to improve his strength.
After leaving the floating island, Chen Yunhao slept in darkness for three days and three nights.
Although he had refined a top-grade magic weapon on the floating island, he had never refined it in reality.
Moreover, there is always some difference between reality and fantasy, so after resting for three or four days, Chen Yunhao really began to refine the magic weapon.
The first step was to upgrade the several high-grade magic weapons that he usually used into top-grade magic weapons one by one.
First of all, upgrading magic weapons is easier than re-refining them. If you can upgrade a high-grade magic weapon to a top-grade magic weapon, it will be easier to actually refine the top-grade magic weapon in the next step.
The first thing he wanted to upgrade was the Aurora Boat. This treasure had been with him for hundreds of years and was his most frequently used magic weapon.
Now that his cultivation has improved, the speed of the Aurora Boat is obviously not enough.
So now we often use the Streaming Technique instead of the Aurora Boat.
First, to upgrade the top-grade magic weapon to a higher level, you need to add some higher-grade materials.
In addition, there are more advanced array patterns embedded, which is not a problem.
He also has quite a few higher-level spiritual materials, and the quantity is unlimited.
He decided to add a spiritual material with spatial properties to the Aurora Boat, so that the future Aurora Boat would have a certain ability to break through the air and reduce resistance.
To upgrade the Aurora Boat, it is not necessary to completely refine it. Chen Yunhao simply erased the array pattern on the Aurora Boat.
Then he refined the spiritual material in his hand into liquid, and finally integrated it into the Aurora Boat bit by bit.
Finally, the array patterns were re-carved. These array patterns and array formations are somewhat similar, but they are also independent entities.
The entire array pattern is like a puzzle, made up of small array patterns pieced together and then stacked up layer by layer.
How much can be stacked depends on the ductility of the magic weapon's spiritual materials and the refiner's technique.
The more array patterns are stacked, the more powerful the magic weapon will be, and the higher the level of the magic weapon will naturally be.
However, this is not absolute. If the grade of materials used to refine magic weapons is not high, there will be innate limitations.
The spiritual materials used in refining the Aurora Boat are of good quality, but the refiner's technique is average, but it is far superior to that of ordinary refiners.
Therefore, Chen Yunhao did not need to make any big moves on the Aurora Boat. He only needed to add some spiritual materials and then overlay a high-level array pattern.
However, refining equipment takes much more time than refining pills, because it takes a long time to refine spiritual materials.
Therefore, even if it was just to upgrade the Aurora Boat, it took six or seven days to complete.
The newly upgraded auroral week is light blue, which is somewhat close to the color of the sky.
There are more than 1,200 types of array patterns re-engraved on the Aurora Boat, with more than 10,800 layers superimposed on it.
The standard for a master weapon refiner is whether the number of superimposed array patterns can exceed ten thousand; even a single number less will not do.
So after being re-refined, the Aurora Boat has become a top-grade magic weapon.
Chen Yunhao tried it out and found that the speed of the Aurora Boat flying in the air was almost catching up with the Streamer Technique.
Overall it's okay, I'm quite satisfied with it. The main problem is that I can't find fourth-level spiritual materials in the Tianyuan Realm. I'll find out when I go to the Spirit Realm in the future.
Chen Yunhao’s second upgraded item was the Formation Breaking Cone, which he didn’t use very often.
However, the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Although he is a formation master, formation is a more complicated art of cultivating immortals.
Its complexity and enormity far exceeds that of alchemy and weapon refining.
Therefore, even though he is a formation master, Chen Yunhao never dares to be arrogant when facing any formation, for fear that he might get trapped one day.
Therefore, this array-breaking cone is the real life-saving thing. You can use it, but you cannot live without it.
Moreover, the level of this array-breaking cone is not high, it is only at the level of a mid-grade magic weapon.
This level can only break the third level of general formations, and has no way to deal with some complex formations such as Yin-Yang formations, formations within formations, etc.
The Breaking Cone also involves some laws of space, so the addition of spiritual materials is the same as the Aurora Boat.
This time, Chen Yunhao plans to use a large amount of purple star sand. First, he wants to increase the toughness of the array-breaking cone, and then give it the ability to break through the air.
As for how the Formation-Breaking Cone can break through all formations, the key lies in the formation patterns inlaid on it.
Chen Yunhao had learned the art of refining weapons in the Thunder Mountain system, and the entire Thunder Mountain had mastered more than 6,000 types of array patterns.
In fact, these array patterns are like words. They seem to be independent, but you have to learn to combine them together to form smooth and complete sentences.
The same principle applies to array patterns. How to combine them together is also a test of the talent and inspiration of the weapon refiner.
