Chapter 105 Second-Level Weapon Master
Xiao Lin nodded upon hearing this.
Lan Caier smiled at Xiao Lin and left the box gracefully.
Xiao Lin sipped the tea in front of him and waited quietly. After about a cup of tea, Lan Caier and a fifty-year-old man came in.
The old man was wearing a dark green robe, with a wide nose and sunken eyes, a head full of dirty hair, and a face full of wrinkles. But when he saw the vertebrae of the mutant two-legged anaconda exposed in the bag, his old eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is one of the managers of our Ancient Artifact Building, Mr. Zhu Guangyuan, and he is also a second-level weapon refiner stationed in Chixia Fairy City. At present, many of the magic weapons sold in our Ancient Artifact Building in Chixia Fairy City are made by Mr. Zhu."
"It turned out to be Manager Zhu. I, Xiao Lin, am honored." It was the first time that Xiao Lin saw a weapon refiner. He hurriedly stood up and saluted. He sensed that the old man surnamed Zhu in front of him was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was one level lower than himself.
Hearing this, the old man surnamed Zhu also hurriedly bowed in return, and then smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are welcome, please sit down and talk."
After sitting down, the old man surnamed Zhu said to Xiao Lin: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Cai'er has already told me about your request. Do you want to upgrade this Seven Blades Slash to a top-grade magic weapon?"
"Yes."
Nodding, the old man surnamed Zhu reached out and picked up the Seven Blades Slash on the table, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully. After half an hour, he put down the Seven Blades Slash in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said to Xiao Lin: "If I am not mistaken, this Seven Blades Slash should be made by Ouyang Zi of the Spiritual Forging Building. Although Ouyang Zi is only a first-level refiner, the magic weapons he refines are still of superior quality."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin showed surprise on his face. The old man surnamed Zhu in front of him only looked at it for a moment and told the origin and source of his magic weapon in one sentence. He is indeed worthy of being a second-level refiner who can even refine spiritual weapons.
"I am still 60% sure that I can upgrade this magic weapon to a top-grade magic weapon, but there are some things that I still need to clarify with Xiao Daoyou in advance." The old man surnamed Zhu said lightly.
"Please speak, Manager Zhu." Xiao Lin replied.
"I have been able to figure out the method of refining the Seven Blades Slash. Although the success rate is relatively high, it is not like refining pills. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted. However, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents during the refining process. Therefore, although I can agree to upgrade this Seven Blades Slash for you, I cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. If you fail, our Ancient Artifact Building is willing to pay a high-level magic weapon as compensation. What do you think, Xiao Daoyou?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lin fell silent. He believed what the old man surnamed Zhu said. Even if you refine a magic weapon, as long as you master the refining process, the success rate is still very high, but there may be unexpected situations. After all, this Seven Blades Slash was not refined by the old man surnamed Zhu. If he returns to Wuyin Xiancheng to find Ouyang Zi of Lingduan Building, it is not very reliable. Not to mention that it will waste a lot of time to return to Wuyin Xiancheng from Chixia Xiancheng, and whether Ouyang Zi can upgrade this Seven Blades Slash is another matter.
But if the refining fails, he will only be compensated with a high-level magic weapon, while he will lose a mid-level magic weapon and the material of the mutant two-legged anaconda that can be used to refine a top-grade magic weapon. No matter how you look at it, it will be a huge loss for him. Moreover, the Seven Blades have been with him for several years, and he has become quite accustomed to it. It would be a bit uncomfortable to suddenly replace it with another magic weapon.
As if seeing Xiao Lin's concerns, the old man surnamed Zhu said: "I understand Xiao Daoyou's concerns. In fact, I am still somewhat confident about upgrading this seven-blade slashing magic weapon, otherwise I would not agree. This is just a one-in-a-lifetime thought. In addition, Xiao Daoyou can also raise any requests. Xiao Daoyou is willing to sell hundreds of sets of two-legged anaconda refining materials to our Ancient Artifact Building, which shows his trust in our Ancient Artifact Building. After this, I will also regard Xiao Daoyou as a VIP of our Ancient Artifact Building."
"Since Manager Zhu said so, Xiao will not be polite. Xiao can agree to Manager Zhu's proposal, but Xiao does have two conditions. One is that if the upgrade fails, Xiao needs the Ancient Artifact Building to compensate him with a high-level seven-blade slashing magic weapon. The other requirement is that the refining of the magic weapon must be completed within half a month. If Manager Zhu can agree to these two conditions, Xiao will agree."
"Of course there is no problem with this." Hearing this, the old man surnamed Zhu pondered for a moment, and then spoke and agreed readily.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, upgrading the Seven Blades Slash magical weapon costs 300 low-grade spirit stones according to the price of our Ancient Artifact Building. Of course, if the upgrade fails, our Ancient Artifact Building will not charge a penny. Cai'er needs to make this clear to Fellow Daoist Xiao in advance." Lan Cai'er added.
"Spirit stones are no problem. Just deduct it from the price of the materials sold by Xiao."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is quite straightforward. This token is the VIP token of our Ancient Artifact Building. In all the major immortal cities, as long as you show this token in our Ancient Artifact Building, you can enjoy a certain discount on the purchase of magical weapons, and you can also sell magical weapon materials for 10% or 20% more than ordinary customers." The old man surnamed Zhu took out a palm-sized wooden token from the storage bag on his waist. The token was black, with a word [Ancient] on the front and some strange runes on the back, which seemed to be an engraved array.
"As long as Fellow Daoist Xiao injects his own mana into this token, he can activate the array on it. Then this token can only be used by Fellow Daoist Xiao." The old man surnamed Zhu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin showed an expression of interest on his face. He looked at the black token in his hand, and then tried to inject mana into it. When the mana was injected into the token, the runes on the back suddenly lit up. , followed by a misty black light emitting from the surface of the token, then it flashed away and returned to its ordinary appearance.
Xiao Lin was surprised to find that there seemed to be some weak connection between himself and the token, which surprised him. In fact, Xiao Lin had always been interested in the magic circle, but the principle of the magic circle was still very complicated and profound. Yes, for cultivators, it still takes a lot of time to understand the profound principles. For the current Xiao Lin, he naturally will not spend a lot of time studying the magic circle. After all, improving the realm is the key. His first priority.
"Mr. Zhu, Xiao still has a question that I would like to ask." Xiao Lin put the VIP token into the storage bag and suddenly raised his head and said.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Xiao, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"I am also very interested in refining weapons. A few years ago, I also obtained the method of refining a magical weapon. I wanted to try it myself. However, Xiao learned that in order to refine a magical weapon, one must first have a place. Fire, but I don’t know where there is earth fire in this Chixia Fairy City?”
In order to refine the Lingyin Shield, Xiao Lin paid a lot of attention when wandering around Chixia Fairy City. Refining magic weapons and refining spiritual elixirs both require corresponding fire sources. For example, Xiao Lin needs to use Black charcoal is used as a fire source, but when refining magic weapons, the temperature of the flame burned by this black charcoal is not enough, so it cannot be used to refine weapons at all.
After a period of inquiry, he learned that if he wanted to refine a magic weapon, he must use earth fire. Earth fire is a type of earth vein fire, also known as fire in the stone. The second-level spiritual elixir Five Elements that Xiao Lin wanted to refine The elixir also needs this kind of flame.
But after asking for a long time, he couldn't find out where there was such a flame, so he asked the old man named Zhu.
The old man surnamed Zhu heard the words, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It turns out that fellow Taoists don't know where the earth fire is in this Chixia Fairy City. This is not a secret matter. In fact, as long as it is a high-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator, there are Most of those cultivators in the foundation building stage know where the earth fire is. Our Chixia Immortal City has a stone furnace in the inner city, which is the property of Bailian Sect in Chixia Immortal City. In fact, in the final analysis, many businesses in Chixia Immortal City are behind There is a shadow of the Hundred Refining Sect. Even the fire pool in our Ancient Artifact Building is the earth fire brought from the Stone Furnace. We have to pay a high fee for the use of the earth fire every year. Therefore, if Daoyou Xiao wants to refine weapons, he only needs Just go to Stone Hearth and rent a fire house.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the earth fire that had troubled him for a long time could be easily answered by the old man surnamed Zhu. This made him very grateful to the old man surnamed Zhu in front of him.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also gained a deeper understanding of the power of Bailian Sect from the words of the old man named Zhu. This Chixia Fairy City is the closest to Bailian Sect, so many industries in the city have the shadow of Bailian Sect behind them. Now it seems that, Even the earth fire resources are controlled by the Bailian Sect. It is conceivable how rich the Bailian Sect’s annual spiritual stone income will be. This also shows from the side that in the Tianlu Mountains, it is indeed based on five Da Zongmen is the largest of the five forces.
After chatting with the old man surnamed Zhu, Xiao Lin also asked for some common sense about weapon refining. Although the old man surnamed Zhu was very secretive about some key points of weapon refining, he still did not hesitate to teach him some common sense things. Yes, it actually benefited Xiao Lin a lot.
An hour later, Xiao Lin took over the bag originally containing the anaconda material from Lan Cai'er. After scanning it with his spiritual sense, he put it away with satisfaction. This was 2,800 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, that is, For Xiao Lin, it was definitely a huge sum of money.
Now the number of spiritual stones in his storage bag is close to five thousand. If it weren't for the fact that in Chixia Fairy City, spiritual weapons are all priceless and unmarketable, he would have wanted to buy one or two finished products directly. Unfortunately, he wanted to get A spiritual weapon is not just a matter of having a spiritual stone, sometimes it also requires a bit of luck.
After leaving the Ancient Artifact Building, Xiao Lin went straight towards the Stone Furnace Workshop that the old man surnamed Zhu told him.
Although Stone Furnace is also located in the inner city, its location is really inconspicuous. To the west of the inner city, close to the inner city wall, there are a large row of stone houses made of huge stones. These stone houses are connected in a row and surrounded by walls. , just in front of these stone houses, stands a single-story wooden building, with three words "Stone Furnace Square" written on the plaque on the upper floor.
The location of this Stone Hearth is really a little too remote. Xiao Lin had been walking around in Chixia Fairy City for a long time, but he didn't even notice the existence of [Stone Hearth]. He looked at the deserted Stone Hearth gate and smiled slightly. , then pushed the door open and walked in.
