Chapter 66: Refining Magical Instruments

It is better to act than to be moved. Yu Zecheng immediately looked for materials to make the Spirit Water Guide. These materials are: two pounds of black iron, three ounces of copper, seven gemstones, one low-level spirit stone, one agate, three pieces of green jade, four ounces of silkworm silk, five pounds of gold powder, ten pounds of silver powder...

There are four main steps to make this Spirit Water Guide. The first step is to use the spirit stone as the core to make a magic tool core that can continuously provide power.

The second step is to build an outer magic array, cast the outer body of the Spirit Water Guide, and form a circular body of the magic tool. It can turn unlimited power into a water-drawing function and absorb and eject the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring.

The third step is to build a circulation channel so that the power core of the Spirit Water Guide can be replenished by the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring water ejected by itself, so that the effect of endless life can be achieved.

The fourth step is to melt the above three components into one to form a complete magic tool, the Spirit Water Guide.

These four steps must be completed at the same time. This is still the simplest magic tool manufacturing process. After reading it, Yu Zecheng was scratching his head. But at this point, there is only room for progress.

Yu Zecheng began to collect materials. Gold and silver powders can be obtained by simply grinding gold leaves and silver into powder. Gems, agates, jade, and silkworm silk can be bought with money. Spirit stones are available in hand. Only the two materials, black iron and copper wood, are difficult to find.

If you can't find them, make them yourself. There are production methods on the Buddha Records. In fact, it is also very simple. Just use ordinary black iron and bronze to extract essence. A thousand kilograms of black iron can extract one tael of black iron, and a thousand kilograms of bronze can extract one tael of copper. However, a large amount of true essence is required for this kind of refining, which is both time-consuming and true essence-consuming.

Yu Zecheng returned to Mangkhut and issued an order to collect black iron and bronze. Black iron is easy to collect. Thirty thousand kilograms of black iron were collected soon, because the various tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains also need black iron, and many caravans sell it to the mountains.

One hundred kilograms of black iron is worth ten taels of silver (this price is the price of the Cangqiong World, where iron and stone are everywhere and have nothing to do with this plane). Yu Zecheng spent three thousand taels of silver, that is, one hundred taels of gold. In fact, this is also a bit of an advantage. There are iron mines in the neighboring countries, so Tangguo does not restrict the black iron trade. If other states want to buy and sell these black irons, it is definitely not so easy.

Bronze took some effort, but money makes things easier. Three thousand kilograms of bronze cost four hundred taels of silver. The black iron bought was in the form of iron ingots, one meter long, one meter wide and one decimeter high, a full twenty, each weighing about 150 kilograms (the density of iron is 7.86, one cubic meter of iron is 7.86 tons, about 15,000 kilograms), with the words "forged by the Tie family" on it. Seeing this, Yu Zecheng clapped his hands. Why bother to buy it from the caravan? Why not buy it directly from the Tie family? At least half of the silver can be saved.

But now that things have come to this, it's bought. Yu Zecheng used the Qiankun bag to load the black iron and bronze. After four trips, he finally transported them back to the top of the mountain, and then used low-level spirit stones to activate the two-qi yin and yang furnace to start extracting black iron and copper.

Under the effect of the spirit stone, the spirit power circulated in the furnace and turned into two different breaths. The breaths were high and low, flowing in the furnace, like a yin-yang fish, making the temperature of the furnace reach a certain level and producing a wonderful reaction.

Yu Zecheng began to put black iron into the furnace, adding iron ingots one by one. At this time, the effect of the control of objects appeared. Yu Zecheng did not need to put them in person. The mind controlled the objects. Although the action was slow, it was just right for use here.

The iron ingots entered the furnace, and the impurities were slowly eliminated and sublimated under the effect of the two qi of true essence. Yu Zecheng supervised the refining process under the control of his spiritual consciousness. The iron ingots slowly turned into water, condensed, turned again, and condensed again. Finally, a thousand pounds of black iron was obtained. One ounce of black iron was only the size of a fingernail.

In fact, this is very simple, but it requires energy and time. Yu Zecheng waited in front of the furnace and finally refined the black iron and copper in two days.

All the materials were gathered, and Yu Zecheng began to open the furnace to refine the spirit water. This time, a mid-level spirit stone was used to provide power, and then Yu Zecheng began to put in materials for sacrifice.

First, put in red copper, and use it to make the core form of the magic weapon in the furnace. This requires the continuous guidance of the divine consciousness to make the core form. This form is like a person's fist. Then put in low-level spirit stones, use the divine consciousness to isolate the spirit stones from the furnace fire, and send the spirit stones to the center of the fist-shaped core. This position cannot be wrong. After the installation of the spirit stone is completed, sprinkle silver powder around the spirit stone to outline the energy path for the transmission of mana. This is difficult because it must be accurately controlled with true essence, and the high temperature of the red copper must be isolated, so as not to dissolve and destroy the spirit stone and other materials.

Yu Zecheng was busy for six hours, changing the manufacturing little by little, and finally succeeded in making this core. Once this thing is completed, it is halfway done.

The second step is simple, using black iron to make the outer body, like a morning glory-shaped magic weapon to guide the water flow.

Then he used gold powder to draw patterns on it, and used silver powder to outline the magic array, creating an internal magic connection system for circulation, and installed green jade at key locations, agate, and gemstones to form the outer body of the magic instrument.

Finally, he completely dissolved and connected the three parts together, and used Tiancan silk to connect the magic array bit by bit, processing it bit by bit. Yu Zecheng spent a lot of time on this, and it took him a full day and night to complete the magic instrument.

The last step was to take the spiritual water lead out of the furnace and float it in the air with the control of objects. Yu Zecheng suddenly sprayed a mouthful of true essence on the spiritual water lead, and the core of the magic weapon was activated immediately. The gems on the spiritual water lead lit up one by one. The work was done. Yu Zecheng cultivated his first magic weapon.

Yu Zecheng panted heavily. After working hard for a day and a night, he finally finished it. I don’t know how effective it is. I can only try it.

Yu Zecheng picked up the spiritual water lead and came to the location of the spiritual spring. He slowly inserted the spiritual water lead into the spring water. Suddenly, the effect of the magic weapon appeared. The water of the spiritual spring was concentrated by the spiritual water lead and sprayed into the air. It looked like the spray was all spring water, but in fact, it was the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring. The spiritual spring water flew up three feet and dissipated in the air. Looking at the 365 trees that formed the formation around it, it was like they were lit one by one, emitting colorful light, and they all came alive.

This formation was slowly activated, and all the spiritual energy brought by the spiritual spring was trapped in the formation. The longer the time, the more spiritual energy there was, and the more benefits there were.

The medicinal garden on the ground began to absorb spiritual energy, and some residual seeds began to sprout slowly under the nourishment of spiritual energy. The two-qi Yin-Yang furnace no longer needed spiritual stones to provide energy. The spiritual energy naturally entered the Yin-Yang furnace along the formation. Suddenly, the Yin-Yang furnace made a roar, and the two-qi in the furnace circulated as if it would never stop. Yin and Yang reversed, and the furnace fire burned forever.

Yu Zecheng opened his mouth and sucked, and a stream of spiritual energy gushed out. Cultivating here will definitely make rapid progress. No wonder the ancients always said that the four elements of cultivation are wealth, law, companion, and land. If so, this is just a small spiritual spring, and it has such an effect. It is unimaginable how powerful the immortal cave of the famous sect will be.

This is my first territory, this is my place of cultivation, but it’s a pity that I can’t stay here for long.

Next year during the Qingming Festival, I will attend the Immortal Ascension Conference and strive to join the sects of the Lingxi Six Sects Alliance. Then I can systematically learn the knowledge of cultivating immortals and various magics and immortals, and I don’t have to struggle like a blind man groping in the dark.

Yu Zecheng is most grateful to Yaxiang. If it weren’t for her Fu Tu Lu, I wouldn’t know what I am now. It was this book that gave me direction.

Thinking of this, Yu Zecheng opened Fu Tu Lu again and turned to the page of Xuan Tie. While reading it, he suddenly stood up. Unknowingly, he found a way to make money.
