Chapter 246: Workshop Streamlined and Puppet Essence Technique
“Brother Ling, are you tired?”
In the evening, in the elegant room, Wang Xin poured the quilt tea for Zhou Ling , beautiful eyes full of tenderness and concern.
She knew that Zhou Ling did not like these social events.
“I’m not tired, now that the workshop is about to start working, there must be a lot to do.”
Zhou Ling looked at his wife's gentle and beautiful face and laughed out loud.
Took the tea cup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and said again, "I didn't expect to receive so many orders for weapon refining in one day."
"Next, there will be more. Just find a way to improve the efficiency of the workshop."
Now he is a third-grade weapon refiner, and can even refine three-grade weapons with the help of talents such as [Sixth Transformation] and five-color heart fire. A mid-level treasure.
So, as soon as he saw these orders, he knew the approximate production time.
If the weapon refiner can be in place, although the speed can keep up, in his opinion, it is still a little slow.
At this moment, in his mind, he was thinking about how to speed up the work efficiency of the workshop.
A workshop, three major elements.
Earth Fire, Furnace and Refiner.
The earth fire in Zhoujia Workshop comes from Xuanyuan Taoist Temple and belongs to the fourth grade earth fire.
With the help of the magic circle, you can even refine third-level high-grade ore.
The condensed earth fire formation can maximize the use of the power of flames and speed up the refining of materials.
The stove is also very important.
If you have a good ground fire but do not have a good stove to match it, the effect of making utensils will be greatly reduced.
Now the five stoves in the workshop are all second-level high-grade stoves.
For the time being, it's enough.
As for the weapon refiners, people like Bai Ji and Master Lu are now at a very high level.
“However, among the orders accepted this time, the largest ones are from several aristocratic families to expand their realm.”
“And most of the treasures are still the same, like A Clothes, treasure arrows, etc. "
"If we can refine a few puppets and make an assembly line for refining the embryos, the efficiency will be greatly improved. "
Zhou Ling smiled and told Wang Xin what he thought.
“Assembly line?”
Wang Xin didn’t understand what Zhou Ling meant and asked aloud.
“It’s just some weapon refining techniques for refining puppets and unifying ultimate moves.”
Zhou Ling explained with a smile.
Zhou Ling is now a second-level high-grade puppet master, and with the help of [Sixth Transformation], he can even refine third-level puppets.
Just like Sun Dajie refining and building a puppet, refining this kind of puppet is completely possible at his level.
“If we use these second-level puppets, will we consume too many spiritual stones?”
Wang Xin roughly understood what Zhou Ling meant by the assembly line.
But she also quickly grasped the key points of the problem.
Like this time when building the Zhou family, Sun Dajie controlled the puppets, which was indeed very fast, but also consumed a lot of spiritual stones every day.
"It consumes a lot of spiritual stones, but the speed will definitely be faster than that of the weapon refiner."
Zhou Ling nodded.
He is both a weapon refiner and a puppet master, and his advantages are now revealed.
If other workshops also use puppets for production, in addition to the consumption of purchasing puppets, puppet masters must be hired from time to time to maintain the puppets.
This is also a considerable expense.
In addition, the price of refining a puppet with such special attributes is not cheap.
Except the difficulty of building is one aspect.
In addition, there are construction costs, daily consumption, and subsequent maintenance expenses.
After all, the second-order puppet operates for a long time and consumes medium-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, if the quality of the puppet is not low, it will cost less than hiring a weapon refiner.
As for Qingyun Immortal City, it is a fourth-grade Immortal City, and the labor force is not low.
Even a weapon-refining apprentice’s monthly salary is dozens of low-grade spiritual stones.
If you are a first-grade weapon refiner, you will need hundreds of lower-grade spiritual stones.
However, the Zhou family's spiritual land now has third-level spiritual energy. If food and accommodation are included, then the salary of hiring an weapon refiner will naturally be low.
After all, in Qingyun Immortal City, the main expense for monks is renting a house.
Even for a house with a second-level spiritual energy concentration, the monthly rent costs over a hundred spirit stones.
But for the sake of safety, the people Zhou Ling wants to hire will naturally choose people who know the basics.
And with Taoist disciples as an option, there is no need to hire others from outside.
If the quality of the puppets can be ensured, using puppets to make utensils will not only improve efficiency, but also ensure quality and save costs.
Moreover, he has the talent of [Sixth Transformation], and the quality of refining the puppets is high and precise, with minimal daily consumption. As long as he has a certain level of spirituality, he does not need too much follow-up maintenance.
Of course, the cost of making such a third-level puppet is not low.
At least second-level high-quality materials must be used.
To make the puppet spiritual, you need to use soul stones to carve soul marks.
A second-grade high-grade soul stone requires several middle-grade spiritual stones.
In addition to other materials, creating this puppet for refining equipment requires the investment of seven or eight middle-grade spiritual stones in terms of materials alone.
If you go to the market to buy it, it will be worth at least sixteen or seven middle-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, Zhou Ling is now a heavenly guard and a Taoist teacher, so he has these two identities.
In exchange for materials at Tiangong Division or Taoist Temple, the price is much cheaper than in the market.
“Then let’s build two first and try it out to see the effect?”
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
After receiving these orders today, Zhou Ling also realized that if he could really use puppets to make tools, he would definitely earn a lot of spiritual stones in the future.
Of course, puppets can only make tools at present, and for imprinting, they still need to rely on weapon refiners.
After all, the process of drawing an imprint is complicated and requires precise coordination of mana, soul, etc.
It is not something that low-level people can do.
Of course, if the puppet reaches a certain level, it may be possible.
However, this level of puppetry is not something Zhou Ling can master.
But there will be no problem with the processing of raw materials.
And the process is simple, and it is completely capable of being done by a puppet with a certain spirituality.
The main steps in the early stage of refining.
One is the smelting and purification of metal ores.
This process is mainly to remove impurities and maintain the properties contained in the ore.
This requires the cooperation of the refining furnace.
The second is to build the embryo, which is difficult.
It requires certain skills, but a spiritual puppet can basically do it.
Zhou Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind began to think about what attributes to create a puppet that would maximize the effect.
After all, given the current situation, two or three second-level spiritual puppets should be enough for the time being.
There is no need to build too many.
So this puppet also needs to be comprehensive.
“Just create a five-element attribute puppet directly!”
"This way you don't have to worry about attribute inconsistencies and causing unnecessary problems."
Zhou Ling then thought about the puppet seal he had mastered.
Watching Zhou Ling deep in thought, Wang Xin did not disturb him.
After a while, Zhou Ling shook his head. Among the puppet seals he currently has, there is no one suitable for refining this kind of weapon-refining puppet.
However, this has no impact. There will definitely be records of puppets with this attribute in Xuanyuan Taoist Temple's Sutra Collection Pavilion.
Go look for it tomorrow and exchange for soul stones and other materials.
If this method works, then you won’t have to worry about making money in the future.
After all, his current reputation in Qingyun Fairy City is a powerful appeal. As long as it can be completed this time, you don’t have to worry about losing orders in the future.
Afterwards, after chatting with Wang Xin for a while, the two went to bed.
······．
The next day, he searched in the Taoist Scripture Collection Pavilion and found a puppet book called "Puppet Essence Source Technique".
There are second- and third-level puppet marks recorded inside.
Most of the puppets involved are very practical puppets.
Such as construction puppets, refining puppets, spiritual farmer puppets, and even sword master puppets.
Zhou Ling felt like he had found a treasure when he found this "Puppet Essence Technique".
The person in charge of the Sutra Pavilion also told him that even in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, there were not many disciples practicing puppetry.
In the entire Taoist academy, including the inner courtyard, there are less than thirty people learning puppetry.
After all, puppetry requires powerful soul assistance and is an extremely unpopular technique.
There are even fewer people who can reach the level of second-grade puppet master.
After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Zhou Ling went to the Affairs Hall and exchanged the points in his hands for two soul stones.
The five hundred points originally accumulated have been consumed by more than three hundred.
As for the material of the puppet, he chose the second-order black iron stone obtained in the Ancient Cloud Realm.
After returning to the monastery, he took out the jade slip of the "Puppet Essence Technique", poured his spiritual consciousness into it, and began to watch.
After a long time.
Zhou Ling slowly opened his eyes, digesting the many imprints in his mind about the "Puppet Essence Technique".
I have to say that this "Puppet Essence Technique" is very profound.
If he hadn’t already had the foundation of the second-level puppetry technique, he wouldn’t be able to comprehend it at all.
This time not only allows him to master more puppet soul seals.
It also gave him a deeper understanding of soul seals, soul patterns and other aspects.
There is even a natal soul puppet seal among them.
The puppets refined from this soul puppet seal will have attributes like a natal treasure.
The power and level can be increased as the monk's cultivation level improves.
At the same time, it can also assist monks in their cultivation.
However, the refining of this kind of natal soul puppet is very difficult and requires a certain degree of divided souls to be condensed.
This requires extremely powerful spiritual cultivation.
The natal soul puppet refined in this way is equivalent to one's second life.
The effect is even better than the natal treasure.
“With my current soul cultivation level, and with the help of [Sixth Transformation] talent, I should be able to refine the natal soul puppet.”
Zhou Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, no Thinking that there is such a good thing in "Puppet Essence Technique".
Of course, if you want to refine your natal soul puppet, you must choose the best materials.
After all, once the natal soul puppet is damaged, it will also have a huge impact on yourself.
After all, it incorporates a ray of divided soul.
This influence is even deeper than the natal treasure.
So when refining the natal soul puppet, one must be cautious.
However, refining the natal soul puppet is not the top priority right now.
What he mainly understood this time was the construction of the soul seal of the refining and casting master.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ling took out the spiritual paper, spiritual pen, etc., and began to draw the soul seal of the caster.
[You are drawing the Forger's Soul Puppet Seal, the six-turn change is +1, the Forger's Soul Puppet Seal is reduced by +2]
As the prompt emerged, Zhou Ling completed it in one go Xing drew the soul seal of the caster.
Sure enough, as he expected, it wasn't too difficult.
Then, he took out the weapon refining furnace and black iron stone, locust wood, soul stone and other materials, and prepared to start refining the puppet.
·······.
Two days later.
Zhoujia Workshop.
"Master, is this puppet really capable of making tools?"
Bai Ji looked at the puppet in front of him in short clothes, more than half a foot tall, with a slightly dull expression, and faint lines flashing on the surface of the body, with doubts on his face. color.
“Try it and you will know!”
Wearing a white robe, Zhou Ling said with a look of anticipation on his face.
Others Song Yue and Xu Qiang also looked at it curiously.
Zhou Ling immediately opened the core area on the puppet's chest, which is where the puppet is controlled.
There are soul stones engraved with soul seals and grooves for placing spirit stones.
After opening it, Zhou Ling stepped forward and embedded a medium-grade spiritual stone in the groove, then made a secret with both hands and drove it into the puppet soul stone.
The puppet immediately started to move.
“Whoop!”
The lines on the body glowed with red luster, becoming increasingly clear, and then dimmed.
At this moment, the puppet's expression looks vivid and lively. The lines on its skin disappear, and it doesn't look much different from ordinary people.
“Start building the refined magic sword equipment in the refining dock!”
Zhou Ling immediately gave the first order to the puppet.
“Yes, Master!”
The puppet, like a real person, cupped its hands towards Zhou Ling and replied.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the refining furnace. After looking at it, he sifted through the materials placed aside.
Select several pieces of dock concentrate ore and put them into the refining furnace.
Then, he squatted down and started to pull the fire inlet.
Whoo!
Suddenly, a layer of billowing air waves arose in the refining furnace.
The temperature inside the refining furnace continues to rise.
Zhou Ling observed the situation of the refining furnace and the puppet with his spiritual consciousness.
As the materials in the refining furnace gradually melted, the puppet looked focused and was carefully pulling the iron handle of the fire entrance to control the heat of the ground fire.
As time goes by, the dock concentrate in the smelting furnace continues to be smelted and gradually turns into iron juice. The puppet skillfully increases the flame to remove the impurities.
At the same time, he also controls the refining furnace and locks the attribute essence in the ore.
This process is almost the same as what a weapon refiner does, and is even a bit more delicate than most ordinary second-level weapon refiners.
After burning the incense, the flames in the refining furnace rose.
The puppet opened the outlet very skillfully, and a wave of heat swept through it, raising the temperature in the workshop a few points.
A stream of dock iron juice flows out, falls on the mold embryo, shines with dazzling light, and then solidifies.
"Master, this is really good!"
As the iron juice solidified into the sword, Bai Ji stepped forward to check it with a surprised look on his face and said aloud.
"Well, the effect of this weapon refining puppet is a bit better than I expected!"
Looking at the solidified sword, Zhou Ling nodded with satisfaction.
Not only is it very efficient, but the puppet can also distinguish between various ores and grasp the different temperatures.
This weapon refiner's puppet seal is indeed magical.
Furthermore, refining this tool consumes very little spiritual stone.
A middle-grade spiritual stone is completely enough to maintain its operation for more than a month.
With this kind of efficiency, one month would definitely create more than one mid-grade spiritual stone in profit.
And as long as the supply of spiritual stones is sufficient, the puppet can operate almost all day long.
Of course, in order to reduce maintenance, it is generally impossible to operate all day long.
These benefits are much better than hiring a weapon refiner.
