Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 49: The rolling black smoke of the Emperor's Banner (Please read later)
Since the Heavenly Prison had just been destroyed and needed to be repaired in the next two days, the demon was not killed.

Zhou Yi took this opportunity to go to the weapon refining yard behind the Wubu Department.

Learn how to refine equipment and create a magic weapon for soul refining.

As soon as I arrived, I saw from a distance a thin old man with a goatee, who was inspecting and supervising his weapon refiners in making weapons and magic tools.

That was Master Gui, the dean of the Equipment Refining Institute. Although he looked thin, his strength was so frightening that it made people feel nervous.

His cultivation has reached the level of a great master, the highest in the entire weapon refining academy.

Zhou Yi once heard Zhao Yuanji say that among the unconventional arts, such as alchemy and refining, the levels of attainment are also different.

Alchemists can use elixirs to raise their cultivation to the level of a grandmaster, but in reality, they are not worthy of the title and cannot defeat a grandmaster of the same level.

But it’s different for weapon refining. Those who refine weapon need real skills. A pure martial artist of the same level may not be able to defeat a weapon master!

Zhou Yi walked up to him and handed over a jar of spiritual wine that he had brewed himself.

"Master Gui, please forgive me for disturbing you a little bit."

As he said this, he handed over the spirit wine in his hand.

"Oh, Master Zhou, that's not possible. Oh, you are so polite. Look at me. Look at you. Hey, I really don't feel comfortable saying this."

After the usual excuses, the spiritual wine somehow ended up in Master Gui's hands.

"Master Gui, just take it. I don't come to you for no reason. I have something to ask for."

"Mr. Zhou is too polite, but you can say whatever you want."

"I would like to ask Master Gui about some weapon refining techniques. I wonder if you can teach me some questions?"

Master Gui looked at him with confusion.

"Master Zhou is interested in refining weapons?"

"I have really become interested in refining equipment recently. It never hurts to learn more while you are still alive."

"I didn't realize that Mr. Zhou is quite ambitious."

Master Gui did not refuse too much, because Zhou Yi was a very smooth person, who handled the ways of the world very thoroughly, and had a good relationship with the deans of several academies.

Although his cultivation level is low, he is still young and has a bright future. He is a good stock.

Make friends, you will need each other sooner or later.

"Okay, in that case, I'll teach you some. What do you want to know?"

"I would like to ask, how should I refine a magic weapon? What are the steps and precautions?"

“The art of refining equipment is both simple and difficult.

The first thing to consider is the materials. The better the materials, the better the magic weapon refined will be. The attacks it can withstand during combat, as well as the higher the increase it brings will be.

But one thing is important to remember: the better the materials, the more dangerous the refining process will be. If you are not strong enough, you will most likely suffer backlash, and in serious cases, people may even die.

Secondly, it is the engraving of patterns. The engraved patterns, the depiction of formations, and the making of talismans are somewhat similar, which is a means to make weapons and magic tools have their own unique characteristics.

As for the last point, it is to cultivate treasures. Without this last point, what is made can only be regarded as weapons, but not treasures.

A true treasure must build its own environment according to its own properties, and then be nurtured with special methods, so that the patterns on the treasure can be activated, allowing the treasure to have spirituality and absorb the energy of heaven and earth on its own.

There aren't many things to be careful of, except that when refining treasures, you must select materials according to the properties of the treasures, otherwise it may cause an explosion, which is very dangerous and may even kill people."

"Thank you, Master Gui. I will go back and learn from you. If I succeed in refining weapons in the future, I will be very grateful." "Master Zhou, you are too polite. In fact, if Master Zhou has good materials, you can also ask me to make them. I can help you make them for free.

If Lord Zhou just wants to study, he can come to my weapon refining academy every day and start learning from the most basic things. This can often achieve twice the result with half the effort and save a lot of trouble.

I estimate that with Mr. Zhou's aptitude, he can achieve some success after studying for ten or eight years!"

"Thank you Master Gui for your kindness. I will learn more about it first, and then I will come to study, so as not to waste your materials."

It’s better not to practice for eight or ten years!
"That's fine. If Master Zhou wants to learn, he can come over anytime."

After bidding farewell to Master Gui, Zhou Yi left his shift early and did not go home. Instead, he instantly teleported to a place thousands of miles away from Kyoto and began to select materials for refining.

Over the years, he had already collected a lot of materials in his storage ring. He did not do this for his own benefit, but simply obtained them from the occasional killings and monsters he encountered.

There are soul-guiding stones, large-scale monster furs, monster bones... everything you can think of, probably even richer than what the Monobu has.

"I need to determine the form of the treasure before I can create it further. What form of weapon should I create?

The pagoda is not very nice, it looks like a sand sculpture.

The small tripod also looked a bit awkward, and holding it in my hand made me feel like I was begging for food.

I'm a master and I need some style.

By the way, there are always some soul-calling flags in movies and TV shows in the past life. I might as well create a treasure flag for collecting souls. When the flag is waved, thousands of horses will gallop. Wouldn’t it look very cool?"

After determining the idea, Zhou Yi immediately began to select materials.

He used the spine of a major-level tiger monster as the long pole of the soul flag, and then used the fur of a major-level monster to make the flag of the soul flag. He also placed a soul-guiding stone in each section of the spine, piling up the materials to the extreme.

Just after he finished all this, the next moment, accompanied by a loud 'boom', an extremely heavy evil spirit instantly rushed into Zhou Yi's mind, as if it wanted to take over Zhou Yi's body.

"As Master Gui said, when the materials pile up, the most dangerous thing is rebound."

Unfortunately, although the evil spirit remaining on this material is very strong, it is not enough for Zhou Yi.

The evil spirit was like a drop in the ocean when it came to Zhou Yi, and it couldn't cause any harm at all.

Zhou Yi started to carve the patterns directly, which was easy to do. Although he had never learned the art of formation, he wanted to engrave the evil art of soul refining on the soul flag.

With the enormous mental power and strength of the land immortal realm, this was easily accomplished.

"Woo~!"

After the carving was completed, the Soul Banner seemed to come alive and began to automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The treasure had been made, and now all that was left was to nurture it.

"I need a place with extremely yin energy!"

Zhou Yi thought about it for a moment and decided that it definitely wouldn’t work at home. Although the courtyard was filled with gloomy energy, it was not evil enough.

The Soul Banner is originally an evil magic and an evil object, and it is not a righteous thing. If it is left there, the things made will not be pure enough.

Zhou Yi extracted the materials from the spiritual diary in his mind, quickly browsed through them, and soon determined the place to keep the treasure.

With a thought, he instantly arrived at a cave.

To be precise, it is a devil's cave - the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes!
