Chapter 443: Refining the Great Sun Demon-Burning Sword
Shopkeeper Ma looked at Fang Qingya with some doubts. Seeing Fang Qingya nodded, Shopkeeper Ma continued to speak loudly.
"Next, I will announce the topic of this weapon refiner competition!"
"All Taoists participating in this stage of the competition need to use various materials with a market price of three top-grade spirit stones to refine any one or a set of medium-grade or above magic weapons within five days. After the refining is successful, all shopkeepers will appraise the magic weapons. The top fifteen cultivators will become the supplier of our Wanxian Building!"
"In addition, I would like to remind you that among the Taoists who came to participate in the supplier competition this time, two of them are well-known master refiners with extremely high attainments in refining. I believe that the masterpieces of the two master refiners will not disappoint you."
As soon as Shopkeeper Ma finished speaking, the stone platform vibrated again, and the secret compartment of the stone platform opened, and a thick book and a brush rose up.
"This is a list of common and rare refining materials. Competitors can propose the materials and quantities needed for refining according to the magic weapon they want to refine. Our Wanxian Building will prepare all the materials for you within half a day, and then you can start refining magic weapons."
"It should be noted that this refining only provides materials once. If the refining fails, not only will you lose the qualification to compete, but you will also have to compensate our Wanxian Building for the material loss costs, a total of three top-grade spirit stones. If anyone withdraws from the second stage of the competition, they can withdraw now."
After waiting for a while, no one lost the qualification to compete because of the three top-grade spirit stones. Instead, they rushed to pick up the list of materials and brushes in their hands. While reading the list, everyone began to think about what kind of magic weapon they would refine this time. Many people frowned.
In the process of selecting materials, Ye Lin did not need Xiaoqi to control his body. The two of them could communicate directly using the soul connection.
"Xiaoqi, look at the prices of these materials. They said they were based on the market price, but they didn't say whether they were based on the market price of Wanxian Tower or the underground black market price..."
Ye Lin's mind moved, and Xiaoqi, who was eager to try, knew all the information that Ye Lin saw.
"Master, the prices of various refining materials on this list are not ridiculously expensive. They are much higher than the underground black market, but they should be much cheaper than Wanxian Tower. They should refer to the prices of ordinary stores."
"I guess some ordinary refining materials can be easily bought everywhere, and cultivators don't have to go to Wanxian Tower to be ripped off. The most rip-offs in Wanxian Tower should be the prices of those rare materials that are difficult to find easily."
Ye Lin quickly flipped through a few more pages and found the list of rare materials.
Xiaoqi said: "It is indeed a little expensive. For ordinary weapon refiners, it is already extremely difficult to refine a medium-grade magic weapon with the cost of three spirit stones. This is much more difficult than refining a medium-grade Heavenly Demon Pill. No wonder those people frowned."
A medium-grade magic weapon is much more expensive than a medium-grade Heavenly Demon Pill, and the higher the quality, the more obvious the difference. A top-grade magic weapon can at least be exchanged for five or six top-grade Heavenly Demon Pills. As for a top-grade magic weapon, no one will exchange it even if someone is willing to offer ten top-grade Heavenly Demon Pills.
From the value, it can be seen that the refining process and refining cost of a magic weapon are obviously much higher than refining a Heavenly Demon Pill, and the probability of refining a high-quality magic weapon is lower than the probability of refining a high-quality Heavenly Demon Pill.
As far as Ye Lin knows, a refiner who can steadily refine a mid-grade magic weapon and a small probability of refining a top-grade magic weapon can be called a master refiner, and a refiner who can steadily refine a top-grade magic weapon and a small probability of refining a top-grade magic weapon is called a master refiner.
As for refining a Taoist weapon... it is the ultimate dream of a master refiner. Some Taoist weapons require thousands of years for major forces to collect materials, and require the cooperation of several master refiners and hard work to successfully refine them.
It is precisely because of this that every Taoist weapon is the core foundation of the top forces of the Immortal Dynasty.
Ye Lin asked: "Xiaoqi, you are similar to Xiaodan. Since entering the Jindan realm, you have never tried to refine high-quality magic weapons. Are you confident about the upcoming competition?"
Xiaoqi said: "Um... Master, Xiaoqi has never communicated with the outside world's refining masters, and I don't know what level I am at now... But in the past few years, every time Xiaoqi wanted to refine a weapon, he would connect the souls of other spirit insects and conduct various bold refining deductions and attempts. The refining attainments should have improved a lot. I am quite confident that I can use three top-grade spirit stones to refine a valuable mid-grade magic weapon!"
Ye Lin finally felt much more at ease after hearing this.
According to the current situation, Ye Lin believes that because the difficulty of the questions given by Wanxianlou is too high, I am afraid that a considerable number of refiners will face the situation of refining failure or refining low-grade magic weapons, and there will not be too many competitors who can successfully refine mid-grade magic weapons.
As long as the valuation ranking is in the top fifteen, you can become a magic weapon supplier, which should not be difficult.
As for whether he could surpass the two weapon refining masters, it was not important to Ye Lin.
"What kind of magic weapon do you plan to refine?"
"Master, although Xiaoqi has long wanted to refine a set of strong men's hammers, it seems that it is impossible today, because the strong men's hammers I imagined are only suitable for body refining monks, relying on brute force to smash everything with two hammers!"
"Although body-refining monks are not rare in the Wan Guo Continent, they are still relatively rare compared to monks from other factions. Therefore, even if my tough big iron hammer is of higher quality and more powerful, it will not be very popular because there are too few customers. The valuation is inherently at a disadvantage compared to the magic weapons of other popular factions."
"Some time ago, when Xiaoqi was sleeping, he happened to learn about the refining method of a set of flying swords in his dream. This set of flying swords is called "Great Sun Demon Burning Sword". It is extremely powerful when combined with some fire magic or fire sword formations. Moreover, the refining method of this Great Sun Demon Burning Sword can be changed according to the materials. The higher the quality of the materials, the higher the quality limit, and it can achieve the highest level of Taoism!"
Ye Lin's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Fire flying sword set? This sounds very good. There are not many sword cultivators in the Wan Guo Continent, but they have a high status. They are either geniuses or local tyrants. A good flying sword is three times more important to a sword cultivator than his life. Everyone is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. It has a great advantage in valuation. Let's just decide on it."
"Next, you tell me the refining materials needed, and I will check and fill in the quantity."
After determining the goal, Ye Lin and Xiaoqi no longer hesitated. Xiaoqi talked while Ye Lin wrote and drew quickly. Soon, a list of refining materials for refining the Great Sun Demon Burning Sword had been completed.
