Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 70 Weapon Forging (Please continue reading)

Su You used materials for refining high-grade magic weapons, which were worth about one hundred spirit stones, while the value of a mid-grade magic weapon was at most seventy spirit stones, so it was still a small loss.

It was thanks to his strong mental strength that he was able to salvage the situation at the last moment. If it were an ordinary weapon refiner, there would have been no time to react and seal the array, resulting in a conflict between the array patterns and complete damage to the magic weapon.

Su You possessed powerful spiritual energy, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator. When he first began learning weapon crafting, he was very adept and made rapid progress. In just two years, he successfully crafted a high-grade magic weapon. Although the success rate was somewhat low, it still reached 30%, making him a first-tier high-grade weapon crafter.

This is why many cultivators choose to learn a skill after they have established their foundation.

After all, with divine consciousness, no matter what skill they learn, they can learn it much faster than ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, and their success rate will be much higher.

In alchemy, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage can only observe the fusion of spiritual herbs in the furnace with their naked eyes. Whether it is the heat or the time for the pill to be extracted, they need to rely on their own eyesight and experience to grasp it.

However, even after mastering divine sense, controlling the heat within the process of fusion is still possible. Using divine sense makes it easier to observe subtle internal changes, thus avoiding mistakes.

The same principle applies to weapon crafting. The processes of refining, fusing, and shaping materials are relatively straightforward and do not require high precision. However, inscribing array patterns requires extremely accurate skills.

The observation of the naked eye is always inferior to the observation of the divine sense.

However, it will be more difficult for Su You to continue improving. Although his strong mental power is still helpful, it can only reduce the probability of his magic weapon being completely destroyed when he is crafting it.

To improve, you need constant practice, especially in inscribing array patterns, which requires a lot of experience from failures.

After all, after studying for a period of time, he didn't feel that he had any special talent in weapon crafting.

As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent. Only through a lot of practice and mastering the skills can one still improve.

As for the twin clones, Su You chose alchemy. After two years of practice, he has become a first-grade high-level alchemist.

That's right, it's a first-tier high-grade weapon, the same level as Su You's original weapon refiner.

This is certainly not because the twin clones have superhuman talent in this area; it's purely due to the accumulation of materials.

Alchemy is simpler than weapon crafting. It only requires mastering the techniques of extracting and fusing spiritual herbs and grasping the timing of pill condensation to produce pills.

Unlike weapon crafting, the initial steps are similar to alchemy, and the later steps even require inscribing various complex array patterns.

This is also why the twin clones, despite having far lower spiritual power than Su You, are no less skilled than Su You in alchemy – it's purely due to the accumulation of a large number of spiritual herbs.

Of course, the twin clones spend several times more time in the alchemy room than Su You, so it's normal that they can achieve this level of skill.

Currently, the twin clones at the Void Heaven Sect have begun to cultivate the persona of a genius alchemist, slowly selling various pills that can enhance cultivation, and gradually increasing the grade of the pills they sell.

This way, he will be able to openly display some of his wealth in the future.

Otherwise, if someone like the Twins, who has no background or status, were to use spirit stones so lavishly and be discovered, it could easily attract unwanted attention.

If he's a genius at alchemy, then that's normal. After all, it's quite normal to earn spirit stones if you master the art of alchemy.

Although his current status as a first-tier high-grade alchemist is relatively ordinary, he is still somewhat well-known within a certain circle.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators have certain advantages in learning alchemy, it's still quite rare to raise one's alchemy level to the upper rank of the first grade in two years; it already demonstrates a high level of talent in alchemy. Of course, to maintain his persona, Su You was very careful in all aspects, always pretending to buy a batch of spiritual herbs from the sect's small market after selling all the pills he had made to continue refining them.

What he needs to do now is to continuously build his reputation and let others gradually get used to his persona as a genius alchemist.

……

Inside the weapon-refining room, Su You looked at the slightly dim night, turned off the furnace fire, and then put all five successfully and unsuccessfully refined magical artifacts from the corner into the storage room inside.

These magical artifacts will be excellent items, whether used to reward disciples or sold internally in a market.

After all, most cultivators can't afford the best magic artifacts, so mid-grade and high-grade magic artifacts are a good choice for independent cultivators.

Now Su You is also trying to refine all kinds of magical artifacts, whether they are offensive or defensive artifacts of various shapes.

Of course, flying swords and shields are the most popular types of magical artifacts, and he crafts the most of them.

Stepping out of the weapon-refining room, Wang Yuchan had already prepared dinner in the dining room, a whole fish feast made with a second-tier spirit fish.

The fish is tender and delicious, the fish soup is smooth and fragrant, and paired with a bowl of rice with a light rose aroma, it is a truly enjoyable experience.

"The taste is not bad. I've already eaten my fill for dinner, so you can have the rest," Su You commented with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your generous gift, young master!" The maids all smiled.

Even if it's leftovers, it depends on who left them.

Su You usually eats second-tier ingredients, and even the leftovers are highly nutritious for the group.

After all, their cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and this food was equivalent to several high-quality pills.

For them, being able to eat such a meal from time to time is equivalent to regularly refining high-quality pills to improve their cultivation.

The three women's current cultivation levels are as follows: Zhao Feier, who used to be at the third level of Qi Refining, has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Wang Yuchan, whose cultivation level is the highest, has already reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and is only one step away from the late stage of Qi Refining.

After returning to his bedroom, Su You began to meditate while consuming his mental energy to enhance his talent fruit.

Although the cultivation of mental strength is slow, it still requires perseverance. As long as you persist in meditation every day, you will still make progress.

In terms of cultivation, however, progress has been rapid in the past two years, and Su You has now broken through to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The price of a rapid breakthrough is that the spiritual pearls in hand have been exhausted, and from now on, one will need to rely on one's own hard work to continuously refine spiritual energy and improve one's cultivation.

However, compared to cultivating spiritual power, Su You has a cultivation room with internal spiritual energy comparable to a top-grade third-tier spiritual vein. The efficiency of cultivating in it is twice as high as that of cultivating in an ordinary third-tier spiritual vein, and it can also save half the time.
