A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Joan of Arc: Come on, I'll start.

Joan of Arc: Breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining, [Nd100:24, 46, 5]/20, third success.

Failed breakthrough reduces spiritual energy value [2d10:4, 3]

Joan of Arc: A little darker, but barely acceptable.

Xiao Huohuo: You little sister, just be happy in secret. (Pinching nose)

KP: Then Jeanne, you should make up for it with two days of training.

贞德（Day37）:仙术修炼，【1d20:20】，【1d10:4】（炼气三层100％）（云步游踪60％）（《工锻要术》61％）

贞德（Day38）:仙术修炼，【1d20:10】，【1d10:3】（炼气三层100％）（云步游踪63％）（《工锻要术》65％）

KP: Then, on the night of the 38th day, Joan of Arc, whose luck had turned, finally succeeded in breaking through and reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Joan of Arc: I won’t practice Qi anymore. I need to study hard and practice Qi as soon as possible!

贞德（Day39）:阅读，18／50，成功。【1d30:3】*1.5（《工锻要术》69％）

Joan of Arc: ...

Xiao Huohuo: You call this studying? You've been lying on your bookshelf and browsing your phone all day, right?

Joan of Arc: I'm so angry!

贞德（Day40）:阅读，57／50，失败。【1d30:16】（《工锻要术》85％）

贞德（Day41）:阅读，88／50，失败。【1d30:2】（《工锻要术》87％）

贞德（Day42）:阅读，11／50，成功。【1d30:8】*1.5（《工锻要术》99％）

Joan of Arc: No, buddy?

Han Buli: Fun, such a classic card 99.

Joan of Arc: (annoyed) KP, on the last day, can I use 1 action point to study, and then use the rest to learn Qi Refining?

KP: Yes, you can, but if your roll is 5 or below, 1 action point will not increase your proficiency.

Joan of Arc: It’s impossible for people to be unlucky all the time!

贞德（Day43）:阅读，37／50，成功。【1d30:12】*1.5*0.2（《工锻要术》100％）

Xiao Huohuo: There's no poisonous milk. (Pinching nose)

KP: Okay, so after four days of intensive study, Joan of Arc gritted her teeth and finished the entire "Essentials of Blacksmithing" and successfully acquired the [Forging] skill.

KP: Basic forging success rate = (Strength + Skill + [1d100])/3.

Joan of Arc: Damn it, my strength and skills are only 45!

Xiao Huohuo: It’s okay, at least it’s taller than you.

Joan of Arc: Byd I will kill you sooner or later!

贞德:锻造，（45＋45＋【1d100:82】）／3=57％

Joan of Arc: Not bad, not bad. I'm going to the Hundred Refining Cave right now to find my Master Xu!

KP: So, Joan of Arc, you happily came to the Hundred Refining Cave and successfully found Elder Xu in the forging hall.

Joan of Arc: Hello, Master Xu!

Elder Xu: Hmm? It's Jeanne. Have you reached the fourth level of Qi Refining?

Joan of Arc: Yes, yes, I also learned the "Essentials of Blacksmithing".

KP: Hearing this, Elder Xu nodded slightly with some satisfaction.

Elder Xu: Yes, it seems that your determination to refine weapons is even stronger than I thought.

Jeanne: Then, Master Xu, can you teach me how to refine weapons now?

KP: Yes.

Elder Xu: I will give you a simple demonstration, and you can watch carefully.

KP: With that, Elder Xu raised his palm and directly moved a smelting table not far away. The stone table fell to the ground with a loud thud. Elder Xu casually swung a long hammer beside him and brought it down. Although he didn't seem to exert much force, the slag flew out and the fist-sized piece of iron ore on the table was transformed into iron essence the size of an egg.

Elder Xu: The art of refining is both difficult and simple. From a process perspective, to create a magical instrument, you simply need to purify the raw materials and then fuse and forge them. Just like this piece of iron essence, it's already ready for crafting a magical instrument.

KP: Elder Xu continued to wave his hand, and a Huangjing stone appeared on the stage. The next second, it turned into a pile of golden sticky powder under a hammer.

KP: Afterwards, Elder Xu fully fused the iron essence and the yellow osmanthus powder, and sent them into the smelting furnace to heat and forge. In just a few blinks of an eye, a golden and black long sword appeared on the stage.

Elder Xu: Now that the sword embryo has taken shape, the next step is the most crucial one—infusing it with spirit. Only if this step is successful will the weapon you forge be a magical weapon; otherwise, it will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

KP: After saying that, Elder Xu put two fingers together and slowly moved them across the top of the sword blank. With the infusion of dark red spiritual energy, the temperature of the sword blank quickly cooled down, and countless slag peeled off from the sword body, revealing the sharp sword edge underneath. When the infusion of spiritual energy was completed, the Huangjing sword made a sword sound and floated slightly in the air, becoming a real magic weapon.

Joan of Arc: Master Xu is awesome!

KP: After the demonstration, Elder Xu casually threw the Huangjing Sword he had just refined into the sales counter at the back and continued to explain to Jeanne the precautions of refining the weapon.

Elder Xu: This is basically the process for refining a weapon. Of course, don't underestimate this. After all, this is just a low-grade magical weapon. To refine a high-grade magical weapon, you often need larger quantities of higher-quality materials, and the purification and forging of these materials are even more complex and difficult. You've just started learning the "Essentials of Forging," and your forging skills are barely at the entry level. You can only attempt to refine some low-grade magical weapons. I'll teach you the method of infusing spirits first. When you can refine a Huangjing sword, come back to me.

KP: After that, Elder Xu took out a blueprint and handed it to Jeanne. Jeanne took it and saw that it contained the detailed method for refining the Huangjing Sword.

KP: Joan of Arc obtains the weapon refining blueprint - [Huang Jing Sword]

Joan of Arc: Okay, okay, Joan of Arc will definitely live up to your trust!

KP: Immediately afterwards, Elder Xu raised his finger and pointed, and a beam of white light instantly sank into Jeanne's sea of ​​consciousness. Jeanne concentrated and examined it, and it was the spell for the Infusion of Spirits technique.

KP: The basic success rate of spirit infusion = (Intelligence + Willpower + [1d100:])/3. Joan of Arc, you roll the dice.

贞德:注灵成功率，（80＋65＋【1d100:17】）／3=54％

Joan of Arc: Damn!

Xiao Huohuo: Vegetables.

KP: Let me explain briefly. For example, for the Huangjing Sword, you first need to spend 1 action to forge the Iron Essence. Once successful, spend 1 action to forge the Huangjing Stone. Once successful, spend another 1 action to infuse the Spirit. Only then can the weapon be considered successfully refined. You can't make any mistakes during this process, or the materials successfully forged in the previous steps will be directly scrapped. Furthermore, using high-level rare materials during forging will have a negative effect similar to level suppression, so don't even think about refining a high-grade magical weapon in the early stages.

Joan of Arc: Emmm, this feels a bit complicated. How can I improve the success rate of my forging and spirit infusion?

KP: After each successful refining, there is a 50% chance that forging and infusing spirit will increase the success rate by 1 point.

Joan of Arc: Anyway, I'll try making a Huangjing sword first.

Elder Xu: "Can't wait?" "Haha, enthusiasm is a good thing, but the materials here are the sect's property and cannot be used without permission." "For now, I can waive the material fee for you. If you want to continue refining, you'll need to spend spirit stones to purchase them."

Joan of Arc: Huh? Why do you charge for materials?

KP: (pinching nose) Nonsense, how can I let you improve your secondary profession proficiency for free in the Hundred Refining Cave? If you want to make money by refining equipment, you should pay my tuition first!

Jeanne: The dog KP has a clue! (annoyed)

KP: No matter what you say, will you practice for free the first time?

Joan of Arc: Refining!

Joan of Arc: Forging Iron Essence, 19/57, Success.

KP: Then, under Joan of Arc's rather skilled hammering, an iron spirit quickly took shape.

Joan of Arc: Forging Huangjing Stone, 9/57, success.

KP: Then, Joan of Arc completed the processing of the Huangjing stone, fused it with iron essence, and forged it into shape.

Joan of Arc: Spirit Infusion, 37/54, success.

KP: Finally, Joan of Arc followed the instructions and carefully injected spiritual energy into the sword embryo. With a crisp sound of the sword, a Huangjing sword was successfully refined.

Joan of Arc: Hmm? You succeeded already? It didn't seem that difficult.

Xiao Huohuo: You little sister are showing off too.

KP: It's just bad luck. You can judge the success rate of the dice refining reward.

贞德:【2d100:3，1】／50，大成功×2。

Xiao Huohuo:Ah?

Han Buli:6.

Joan of Arc: See that! See that!

KP: You have very good luck, but unfortunately the location is average, so I can only give you a +2% success rate in forging spirit infusion.

Joan of Arc: That’s right!

Jeanne: (Forging 59%) (Spirit Infusion 56%)

KP: Well, I didn’t expect that you successfully forged the Huangjing Sword on your first attempt at refining the weapon. Elder Xu’s face also showed a bit of surprise.

Elder Xu: Not bad, I didn’t expect you to have some talent in refining equipment. I have some forging drawings here, you can take them and study them slowly.

KP: Jeanne obtains the weapon refining blueprints: [Spiritual Maple Stick] [Frost Sword] [Flame Spear] [Earth Sand Shield]

Joan of Arc: Well, well, today has ended successfully!

-

KP: So, that leaves Romeo. What are you going to do in the next ten days?

Romeo: Let me level up!

KP: ...Do you really have to stick with this lame joke?

Romeo: I will keep going until you, KP, respond to me directly!

KP: …

Xiao Huohuo: I am inexplicably moved. By the way, Lao Luo, what level are you at now?

Romeo: Let me see, the third level of Qi Refining is 36%.

Xiao Huohuo: Why is it so low?

Romeo: Don't ask. The only thing I'm asking is that I failed miserably the night before the outer sect competition. (Tears)

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, I remember now. (laughing)

Han Buli: Why don’t you take some Qi-nourishing pills, Lao Luo? Otherwise, your progress is lagging behind.

Romeo: Wait, by the way, how much is a KP nourishing pill?

KP: 20 spirit stones each, sold in the Juling Pavilion.

Romeo: That's quite cheap. I'll go get 10 Cha Chas first.

Xiao Huohuo: No, Lao Luo, are you really practicing?

Romeo: I have discovered that beauty is only worthy of the strong. Only when you become a master of Taoism, beautiful women will line up to come to you for Taoism!

Xiao Huohuo: Are you practicing Taoism... the proper Taoism?

Han Buli: I hope that next time I can understand advanced mathematics in seconds. (Sad)

Joan of Arc:?

KP: Ahem, so Romeo came to the Gathering Spirit Pavilion and told the disciples at the counter what he wanted.

Disciple at the counter: Ten Qi-nourishing Pills, 200 spirit stones, no bargaining.

Romeo: Wait a minute, I'll go out and equip my 42G, then come back and use Charm on him.

KP: This counter disciple is not the same one from last time! He doesn't like Da Lei! And he has a 10% level suppression on your charm!

Romeo: Cross-dressing, 9/60, success.

Charm, 35/(50-10), success.

KP: …

Romeo: I rubbed my 42G directly on his face and told him to give me a discount.

Disciple at the counter: Uh, 200 spirit stones does seem a bit expensive. If you really want it, 150, no, 140 spirit stones. I will make an exception and sell it to you!

Xiao Huohuo:6.

Han Buli: Classic.

KP: I’m so fucking impressed.
