If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 231: Frugal Version of Refining Equipment

Thanks to the hard work of the princes day and night, the cave built with black stone was completed perfectly.

In order to highlight the grandeur of this cave, two princes secretly stole their father's favorite antiques and used them as decorations.

The princes were very satisfied, and Li Yanmo was also very happy.

The remuneration of the princes, the purchase of the obsidian black stones, the processing fees, plus the costs of the spells, magic weapon embryos, materials, pills, etc., the 23.7 billion medium-grade spirit stones on Li Yanmo's body evaporated in an instant and turned into nothing, and it was absolutely impossible to earn back a single spirit stone.

Based on the principle that if you have to consume, you should consume more, Li Yanmo also hung a storage bag filled with tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual fruits on the shelf.

"Everyone, this project can only be described as perfect! Of course, without your help, there would be no results today. I will visit you later and offer you a thank you gift!"

In response to Li Yanmo's thanks, the princes, who had lost weight, waved their hands to express that they also had a lot of fun on this project.

Because the trip to the mine was only a few days away, the princes returned to Baidi City after expressing their gratitude.

Leng Ningshuang, as the daughter of the prime minister, is also responsible for supervising the trip to the mine. Since she is already here, there is naturally no need to go back.

While there was still some time, Li Yanmo started to tinker with the obsidian black stone ore he had collected during this period.

Of course, he mined all these obsidian black stones himself, and this behavior once aroused suspicion among Shi Dan and others.

They didn't understand why Li Yanmo left the already mined obsidian ore unused and chose to mine it himself.

Li Yanmo couldn't say that those tons of black stone were bought with the sect's resources, as he, the sect leader, couldn't be greedy.

Therefore, Li Yanmo could only use such a high-sounding reason to explain it: "I plan to try to refine the magic weapon myself. Since I want to refine it myself, I should naturally collect the raw materials myself."

Li Yanmo himself felt that this reason sounded fake, but Shi Dan and others believed it. Those noble princes were even more excited and expressed their desire to learn from Li Yanmo's spirit.

Looking at the two fist-sized pieces of obsidian black stone in his hands, Li Yanmo was so sad that tears were about to flow.

Shi Dan wasn't kidding; the Yaohei Stone ore was indeed difficult to mine. Even with the guidance of experienced miners like Shi Dan, he had only mined two pieces of ore in two months.

Leng Ningshuang didn't understand why Li Yanmo suddenly wiped his eyes, so she complained, "I told you a long time ago that you can just use the obsidian black stone ore there. I don't know why you are being so stubborn, or are you trying to establish your own personality in front of those princes?"

Li Yanmo curled his lips.

If he could have coveted those obsidian black stone mines, he would have done so long ago.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Yanmo still said stubbornly, "I like the feeling of this kind of labor. It's very fulfilling."

"Okay, okay—then how do you plan to refine the magic weapon?" Leng Ningshuang saw at a glance that Li Yanmo was being stubborn, but she really didn't understand what Li Yanmo was being stubborn about, so she could only raise her hand and wave, "Yao Hei Ore is indeed an excellent material for refining magic weapons, but it is also quite troublesome to handle."

Li Yanmo's gaze returned to the Yaohei Ore in his hand, his face full of distress. "I haven't made up my mind yet. Should I...make it into a magic weapon embryo first?"

Magical weapon embryos refer to those magical weapons that have not yet been refined and whose grade cannot be determined.

The initial refining technique determines the lower limit, while the later refining determines the upper limit of the magic weapon.

If the technique is done properly and every refining step leaves room for the next refining step, the magic weapon embryo can continue to grow stronger like those growth magic weapons.

But the problem is that Li Yanmo doesn't know how to refine weapons.

Leng Ningshuang pointed out Li Yanmo's predicament without giving him face, "Do you know how to refine it?"

"I don't know how to practice, but that doesn't mean I can't practice."

Li Yanmo muttered and patted his stomach.

The girl, who was enjoying a sweet sleep in the foundation-building platform, opened her eyes and twisted on the bed like a bug. After stretching her waist contentedly, she stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can you refine weapons?"

"No, but I know how to get a useful magic weapon." "How to get a useful magic weapon?"

"Rob."

"It's okay, go back to sleep."

Nuyao didn't hesitate and lay back down on the spot.

Li Yanmo scratched the back of his head and looked at the two dragon patterns on his body.

You Longwen was a self-taught monk and didn't know much. If you asked You Longwen, you would probably get an answer similar to Nuyao's, but Leng Longwen was different.

Leng Longwen is a genuine descendant of the North Sea Dragon Palace. He has received advanced dragon education and knows a lot.

Although Leng Longwen has been making shaved ice or iced drinks for the past eight years.

"Xiao Leng, can you refine a magic weapon embryo?"

The cold dragon pattern that had been waiting for a long time immediately emerged from Li Yanmo's sleeve. He patted his chest confidently, "Of course! Our dragon patterns are rare treasures from heaven and earth. We ourselves are the best furnace of heaven and earth! As long as the materials are in place, we can give birth to a powerful magic weapon!"

"Then how about this Obsidian Black Stone Mine?" Li Yanmo's eyes lit up and he immediately pointed to the Obsidian Black Stone Mine.

"Obsidian Black Stone Ore? Of course, give me ten tons, and I can breed a good magical weapon embryo."

Leng Longwen knew how many treasures Li Yanmo had in his Tianxu Tower. In addition, the funding Li Yanmo gave to Shen Ziqing started at tens of billions, so he started talking about the top configuration as soon as he opened his mouth, and did not notice the painful expression on Li Yanmo's face when he heard about ten tons of obsidian ore.

Oil Dragon Pattern hurriedly poked his head out, "I, I can do that too! Give me twenty tons! I can also create a powerful magic weapon embryo!"

Youlongwen didn't know much about refining equipment, but he knew that twenty was better than ten.

Since Leng Longwen said he could refine ten tons, then it would be fine for him to say he could refine twenty tons. Li Yanmo has no shortage of money anyway.

Leng Longwen was a little annoyed and wanted to argue with You Longwen. But when he thought about You Longwen's low IQ and the fact that he had been imprisoned in the Third Prince Temple for eight years, Leng Longwen felt that he should be more generous.

"Well, you can use these two to refine first. The obsidian black stone ore is all used now, so we can't adjust it for the time being."

Li Yanmo suddenly felt that he was a little too arrogant and actually wanted to refine the magic weapon embryo himself.

Oil Dragon Pattern and Cold Dragon Pattern didn't think too much about it, and one dragon swallowed the fist-sized obsidian black stone ore in one gulp.

Soon the day of the mine trip arrived.

The princes came to the mine in a mighty procession.

The commoner marquis' sons, led by Li Lin, immediately noticed that the noble marquis' sons had lost a lot of weight, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

The failure of the spring hunt caused outrage among the nobles, and all the participants were put in solitary confinement. It would be strange if they didn't lose weight.

But this also meant that the hatred of the noble princes towards them had reached its peak.

The two young men beside Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Brother Li, I'm afraid we'll have to be extremely alert on this trip to the mine."

Li Lin glanced at the two young men, a gleam in his eyes.

"You two, please remember not to stray too far from me during your trip to the mines."

The two teenagers thought that Li Lin wanted to protect them throughout the whole process, and they were touched. "Thank you, Brother Li!"

Li Lin just shook his head and looked at the mine with burning eyes.
