Chapter 170: Refining Magical Weapons
After returning to the Liu family’s territory, Li Qing’s next time was completely occupied by two things.
The first is cultivation. Without pills, he can only rely on cultivation to polish off the bottlenecks in front of him.
In fact, it is not particularly difficult to break through the bottleneck in the early stage of Qi refining. This is a state that can be overcome by taking time.
No matter how poor your qualifications are, you will naturally be able to achieve a breakthrough over time.
Fortunately, Li Qing has no shortage of time. Now his remaining lifespan has increased to 190 years. The long years have given him a lot of time to polish this realm bottleneck.
The second thing is to refine the weapon.
Li Qing forged a large number of prototypes of inferior magic weapons for himself, and the materials were all ordinary iron.
After he hammered away at it, a handful of prototypes of different styles of magical weapons were born.
“The market demand for inferior magical instruments is too small. Even casual cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining may not be interested in them and can only use them to practice their hands.”
"When you are proficient in the inscriptions, you can start refining the Unparalleled Hammer into a magic weapon."
Li Qing looked at the dazzling array of weapons on the ground, and took them to the secular world at will. A magical weapon that can make a party famous.
In this way, Li Qing immersed all his attention in the two steps of soul quenching and inscription.
This process is destined to be long and boring. Constantly repeating the spirit quenching and inscription requires great patience and perseverance.
However, during this persistent process, Li Qing became more and more proficient in his weapon refining techniques.
Time gradually passed, and when the fifth inferior magic weapon was refined, Li Qing had a new understanding of the most basic Five Elements Spirit Pattern.
[Successfully refining an inferior magical weapon: Qushui Sword, rewarded with six years of life! 】
Putting this long sword engraved with water-attribute spiritual patterns in his hand, Li Qing let out a sigh of relief.
He injected a ball of spiritual power, then waved twice casually, and a sharp blade formed by water flow was cut out of the air.
Whoosh!
"The power is quite good, but the distance of the water blade is a bit short. It can threaten targets more than ten meters away at most."
After finishing speaking, Li Qing took the curved water sword back into his storage bag. , and then closed his eyes, carefully comprehending the gains brought by this weapon refining, and at the same time restoring the depleted mana in his body.
The five magic weapons brought Li Qing a total of thirty years of life.
At this moment, his remaining life span was directly pushed to two hundred and twenty years old!
Even some monks who built their foundation late and exhausted their potential may not have as long a life as Li Qing.
Of course, in addition to his thirty years of longevity, Li Qing's weapon refining skills have improved a lot.
Using ordinary iron to refine inferior magic weapons is no longer a problem for him.
For a long time, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, digesting the experience gained from this time of refining the weapon.
“If you want to refine the unparalleled hammer into a magic weapon, then it is best to use earth-attribute spiritual patterns. The thicker the better, it is more ingenious than craftsmanship. This is the way to fight with the unparalleled hammer.”< br>
“But if you blindly pursue thickness, most of them are Fan Tie’s unparalleled hammers, which may not be able to withstand the pressure of battle. If it can be supplemented by some fire attribute spiritual patterns, you may be able to obtain unexpected results. The result?”
Among the yin and yang and the five elements, there are mutual complements and mutual restraints, among which fire generates earth, and the exercises that Li Qing majors in also happen to be of the fire attribute.
In the Peerless Hammer, which is mainly composed of earth-attribute spiritual patterns, appropriately adding some fire-attribute spiritual patterns is definitely a positive attempt.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should give it a try. Now he was quite proficient in engraving spiritual patterns with a single attribute, but if he wanted to combine two or more basic five-element spiritual patterns, it would be difficult. Absolutely exponential growth.
“The Five Elements Spiritual Patterns are only the basis of weapon refining. The weapon refining technique in the world of immortality has developed for so many years, and it is estimated that more schools of spirit patterns have been derived.”
“Alas! The journey of refining weapons is really long and arduous!" After saying that, Li Qing took out the Peerless Hammer.
This simple and heavy black sledgehammer has been with Li Qing for a long time. He clearly remembers that when he refined this magical weapon, his martial arts cultivation had just been promoted to the highest level. External strength level.
He has always used this hammer very well, whether it is refining weapons or fighting, and he is extremely familiar with every trace and pattern on it.
"Quenching the spirit first!"
Li Qing put his hands on the sledgehammer and began to penetrate his pure spiritual power into the sledgehammer, making this The unparalleled hammer has spirituality and becomes a material that can be engraved with spiritual patterns.
This step of quenching the soul went smoothly, even so smoothly that Li Qing couldn't believe it.
"Sure enough, these spiritual materials that are born with spirituality are easier to quench than ordinary iron. Especially because of the affinity of this kind of spiritual material for spiritual power, quenching should not be too smooth. ! ”
“No wonder all weapon refiner apprentices start learning spirit tempering from ordinary iron. If they can complete spirit tempering with ordinary iron, they will be more comfortable tempering these spiritual materials in the future.”
Complete. After quenching the spirit, the next step is the most difficult part, the inscription!
This time, Li Qing was more focused than ever.
Every time the spirit pattern engraving fails, a lot of the spirit in the material must be consumed. If there are too many failures, the spirit quenching must be started again.
Of course, if it were just Fan Tie, Li Qing wouldn't feel so distressed, it would just be a matter of re-tempering his spirit.
But there is black gold in the Wushuang Hammer. Every time the inscription fails, the spiritual material of black gold will lose its natural spirituality.
If there are too many failures, Mo Jin will be scrapped!
"It's okay. Anyway, I still have two pieces of black gold in my hand. These were saved from refining the Qinghong Sword. Even if it fails, at worst, I will smelt another piece of black gold into the Wushuang Hammer."
"I don't believe that you can just waste my two pieces of black gold!"
Thinking of this, Li Qing immediately calmed down and began to engrave spiritual patterns on the Wushuang Hammer.
First, the earth-attributed spiritual patterns, glowing with a faint yellow spiritual light, began to appear on the hammer surface of the Peerless Hammer one by one with the strokes of Li Qing's fingertips.
Earth attribute spiritual patterns, the most important thing is thickness!
It is consistent with the combat characteristics of the Unparalleled Hammer. It is best to hit it with one hammer, and it will smash all the protective auras and defensive magic weapons.
This is also Li Sin's all-time favorite fighting style.
Chi!
Failed!
The earthy yellow spiritual pattern just engraved on the head of the Peerless Hammer melted as quickly as spring snow, and part of the spirituality of the hammer itself was lost.
Seeing the slight loss of Mo Jin's spirituality, Li Qing frowned slightly, feeling a little distressed.
But he did not lose heart. He quickly adjusted his mood and continued to focus on the inscription of the spiritual patterns.
Day by day passed, and in a blink of an eye it was time to go to the mine again.
Li Qing looked at the Wushuang Hammer, which was gradually losing its spirituality, and sighed heavily.
Still failed to refine it successfully. Combining the two basic spiritual patterns with attributes was much more difficult than he imagined.
Especially when engraving, you must fully consider the nature of the spirit patterns, which makes the inscription more difficult.
"It still doesn't work. It seems that we have to consider re-smelting a piece of black gold. If we fail a few more times, the spirituality of the black gold material of the hammer head will be lost."
With that said, Li Qing stopped refining the weapon. , hurriedly meditated to restore his spiritual power and prepare for going to the mine tomorrow.
