0802_Practical experience

"In my opinion," Wu Yi said slowly, "refining has the advantages of refining, and not refining has the advantages of not refining. The former also has disadvantages, and the latter also has disadvantages. The advantages and disadvantages cannot be generalized... ..."

"Okay, he doesn't know." Shang Jiang said, "Lian, I want to try to calculate the effect of balance."

I looked at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi: "Let nature take its course."

Tsk, I know that you will fall off the chain at the critical moment of peeping at Tianmen, so listen to your ideas--I am hesitant, of course I can't rely on it, if I say boldness, I will definitely recommend Jianzong's sword cultivator...I am really ashamed Yun Xiazong's careful teaching.

Shang Jiang ignored my grief and asked, "Which one are you more familiar with, alchemy or weapon refining?"

Familiar?I can only guarantee solid theoretical knowledge. "Aren't you more familiar with Lingzhi? Let's try the pill first." I said.

Shang Jiang: "...Have you actually practiced alchemy?"

"I have practiced." I am not guilty of this answer at all, but I have practiced all the professions that Yunxiazong has, and I have also practiced many professions that Yunxiazong does not have.I am very eager to learn, but my energy is limited and I can't get started for a long time.I have to ensure the progress of my sword repairing profession first, and then I will improve the proficiency of other professions when I reach a bottleneck period.

... Bah, I didn't expect the bottleneck period to appear, I wish there would be no bottleneck period in my life.

Shang Jiang looked at me suspiciously, but did not continue to dwell on this issue, and instead said: "The five alchemy cultivators were all refining by hand without using a furnace. Although they didn't say it explicitly, it is very likely that using a furnace will lead to failure or success." The rate is greatly reduced, have you tried alchemy with bare hands?"

When refining, the furnace can lock the aura of the material and its own spiritual power in the furnace, which is convenient for control and reduces the dissipation of the active ingredients of the material.If you don't use a furnace and refine it by hand, you need to use your own spiritual power to lock the materials in all directions, which means that you need to consume more spiritual power, and it will also test your control power—of course, it is also more flexible.

Due to the need to constantly adjust the shape of the magic weapon and add various magic circles during the refining process, the instrument repairer generally does not use a fully enclosed furnace in the whole process, but often puts the semi-finished magic weapon after a stage of refining is completed. Put the device into the furnace to consolidate and stabilize the previous results.Alchemy, especially those with low cultivation bases, rely heavily on the alchemy furnace. Once the alchemy furnace is not used, the quality and success rate of the refined medicine will drop by a notch immediately. If the alchemy furnace is not used in some foundation building stages It can only be used to refine elixirs during the Qi training period.

Judging from the observation just now, no matter whether it is a pill or a magic weapon, this secret realm seems to only accept those at the foundation building stage, and it doesn't like it at the Qi training stage, so it is normal for Shang Jiang to doubt my ability on this point.

0803_Induction?

But this kind of normal suspicion can only show that Shang Jiang and I are not familiar with each other.

Under my father's plan, my sword repair training is step-by-step and steady. Let alone jumping forward, not grinding a step three, four, five or six times is considered lazy.At the same time, raise your horizons, and when you see anything related to sword cultivation, the first reaction is to compare it with the standard of the transformation god stage, which is my father, and then the second reaction is to compare it with the Jindan stage, which is my brother and sister. Make a comparison with the standard, and then I will actually do things with myself as the standard.

The two-pronged approach has made me a strong habit of the sword repair profession.

I am used to practicing sword every day, I am used to looking at the sword for self-reflection every day, and I am used to taking sword repair training as part of my life.There is no need to persevere with the spirit of perseverance and hard work. It is just a daily routine like checking the news and gossip every day to think about what to eat.I may often have no passion, and I may sometimes find it annoying, but I still continue habitually. After all, there is no strong sense of repulsion to urge me not to do it.

I was so used to it that when choosing a profession, I habitually followed the path of swordsmanship.

I asked my dad if this was considered inducement?After all, he started reading sword formulas to me when I was a baby.In this atmosphere, is it strange that I don't take the path of sword cultivation?

My father: "When you were a baby, your elder brother brought back group after group of spirit beasts, and your sister picked handful after handful of spirit plants for you from Planting Peak. I come to visit you with all kinds of gifts, give you talismans, jugglers, and magic weapon pills, why haven’t you been induced? The one who dragged his sword and followed me to imitate the movement of swinging a sword as soon as he was able to walk? Not you?"

Nonsense, can beast masters, planters, talisman repairers, alchemy repairers, tool repairers, and law repairers have sword repairers?

Cough, please forget the above sentence, I didn't want to offend the six peaks of Yunxia Sect.

My father: "As long as you are lazy, repulsed, feel painful, or show a clear preference for other professions in the training of the introduction of swordsmanship, it is impossible for me to teach you all the way to foundation building. Interested, but only interested. You can practice swords for more than ten years, but can you play with spirit beasts and plants for more than ten years? Or making talismans? Alchemy refining tools? Is it you who pinched and played with fingers?"

Please don't mention black history!

I am seeking truth from facts: "It is mainly influenced by you. With you here, I feel that it is wrong not to practice swords well, and it seems that it doesn't matter if you practice other professions one after another."

My dad let out an 'um', and then... nothing more.

Hey, Dad, you still don't have a clue as to whether this is an inducement for my career choice.

0804_Division of labor

Let's go back to the problem that Shang Jiang doesn't understand me.

In terms of swordsmanship, my training is to fight steadily and without jumping, but in other occupations that I only practice out of interest, I only have to jump, thinking that every shot is a shot.I can only guarantee that my theoretical knowledge is relatively perfect, but for practice, I will practice whichever one comes to mind. I never care whether there is a pre-task for this one. If it fails, it will fail anyway. It’s just for fun. What.

So, I actually have more experience in alchemy with bare hands than with a furnace. The main reason is that it is more interesting to play with bare hands. You can see the pills forming little by little, which is very beautiful...

Anyway, I don't care whether the pill can be refined, what kind of refining it is, how many materials are wasted - there are no precious materials in the first place, I can grow it myself, and collect a large piece of it - it's just a pill, in my inventory There are so many, any random one is much better than the quality I practiced myself, why should I have to refine it by myself... Cough, what, I mean:

"I have refined it with bare hands. I have the experience of successfully refining the elixir of the foundation establishment stage with bare hands." I replied Shang Jiang.

Wu Yi interrupted: "Is the success rate high?"

Generally, I refine the same kind of elixir once and consolidate it at most once, that is, after refining it twice in total, I will not refine it again. Before I succeed, because I haven’t practiced enough pre-tasks, it is often difficult to get started. , so guess what my success rate is?

I replied tactfully: "Of course it's not as serious as Danxiu."

Wu Yi: "Oh...that's normal."

Do you want to say that the answer is the same as not saying it?

Shang Jiang interrupted our chat, and gave an order: "I'll do the preliminary processing of the materials, and fellow Daoist Wu will assist you with the magic circle. Fellow Daoist Pei, is there anything else you need us to do?"

Me: "Actually, I am not used to cooperating with others when I am making alchemy, and I have no such experience at all."

Shang Jiang was very straightforward: "Then you can do it yourself. Fellow Daoist Wu and I are responsible for protecting you and helping you depending on the situation."

Wu Yi: "Huh?"

In this secret realm, Wu Yi had to be a little smart to protect himself even in a place with normal attack strength. After a while, after gathering the materials and attacking densely and powerfully, he...

Shang Jiang looked at Wu Yi expressionlessly.

I patted Maoqiu on the back and said to Wu Yi: "It's okay, I'll let my cat give you some attention. It's called Maoqiu."

"Mi." Fuqiu agreed.

Wu Yi looked at the ball of hair that was not much bigger than his palm: "...Thank you. I will try not to hold back fellow Taoist hair ball."

Shang Jiang: "Wait and see."

Wu Yi: "..."

0805_ Refining

The three alchemy cultivators of Yaozong, Wangshengmen, and Chiwuzong used different raw materials, and the elixirs they refined were also different.This is not because of the unconvinced thoughts among the big sects, but because the environment of this secret realm, in different places, the raw materials that can be used are different, and they can't take these raw materials with them. According to local conditions, until they each refine the first elixir, the secret realm will continuously throw the raw materials needed for the elixir near the elixir that made it, so that it can copy the refining process of the elixir process.

Therefore, even if we watched the refining process of the five alchemy cultivators, we still need to recalculate which materials to use to achieve a balance when we get started.

At this time, Shang Jiang's computing power was revealed.She combined the experience of the places she had experienced before, and took us to the place where she had the greatest grasp in half a day.

Shang Jiang: "In many areas, I have successfully reproduced magic tools, but this is the most perfect reproduction, and there are many spiritual plants, which are more similar to the places where the three alchemists succeeded." She said that she would choose The list of raw materials was sent to me, and the order of refining was explained.

At the same time, Wu Yi's route erratically wandered around the vicinity for a while—during which Mao Qiu dragged him three times—after returning to us, he thanked Mao Qiu first, and then said: "I chose a circular route, you are hiding Try to follow this route when attacking, and the success rate will be higher."

I nodded, checked the process with them again, and started the trial production.

Five days later, Dan Cheng.

On the same day, at Sanxiu's side, Mu Piaoyan's fake shell for Zhuang Cong was completed; at Zhong Sumen's three people's side, the magic weapon was refined.

The next day, the Kunlun elixir and magic weapon were refined at the same time.

Another day later, at the side of the three of Zhong Sumen, the elixir was refined.

Two days later, our magic weapon will be refined.

I feel like I've lost.
