Chapter 43 Passed (seeking further reading)
Two quarters of an hour later.
Wu Tao and Jin Ke came to Fangquan Road. At the entrance of the Wuquanshan Weapon Refining Hall's assessment branch, two long lines were lined up. Every casual cultivator who lined up had a strong smell of Spark Stone on his body.
It has a strong smell, and you can tell from the first smell that it has been refined for many years.
He found an immortal cultivator wearing the uniform of a branch of the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall and asked respectfully: "Sir, are you recruiting casual cultivators here?"
The immortal cultivator in question looked at Wu Tao, who was quite young, and said, "See the two long lines at the door. The one on the left has a first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificate. The one on the right has reached the weapon refiner level, but there is no Those who have obtained the first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificate."
"Thank you."
Wu Tao thanked him. Fortunately, he came to ask in advance. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome to get in the wrong line.
When he came to Jin Ke, Shopkeeper Yu just asked Jin Ke to send him here, so he still wanted to thank Jin Ke for sending him there: "Senior Jin, this is the territory of the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall. No one should dare to cause trouble here. , if Senior Jin has something urgent, just get busy first, I don’t think it can be done in a short while with this attitude."
Jin Ke thought for a moment and said, "Sure, Master Li needs to be more careful when he returns after completing the assessment."
After watching Jin Ke go back, Wu Tao came to the right and lined up.
In fact, the total number of people on both sides was less than a hundred.
Among the casual weapon refining masters, first-level junior weapon refining masters are the most common, and intermediate weapon refining requires higher talents. Therefore, even if the weapon refining hall recruits the entire West Outer City, it may not be able to recruit more than a hundred people at most.
Once a casual cultivator can refine a first-level or seventh-level magic weapon, he or she will live in the inner city, or join some larger small cultivating forces. The life of a casual cultivator in the outer city is not comparable to that of a casual cultivator in the outer city.
Level 1, Level 6, and Level 1, Level 7, although there is only one level difference, it is more difficult than casual cultivators to break through the foundation building.
The main reason is that the financial resources are not strong enough, and it is extremely difficult to support a first-level and seventh-level weapon refiner.
After waiting in line for about half an hour, they finally entered the Weapon Refining Hall. A master of the Weapon Refining Hall took them into a main hall to wait. Someone came to register the spiritual materials they needed for refining their weapons.
After registering, he waited for almost half an hour before Wu Tao entered a refining room with nine other casual cultivators.
There are ten refining positions in the refining room, with spark stones and spiritual materials placed on them.
"Li Mo, weapon refining position No. 1."
"Zhou Jiong, weapon refining position No. 2."
After the refining master announced the refining positions of the ten people, and waited for everyone to stand at their refining positions, he said: "The spiritual materials you need have been prepared. Now, a stick of incense Time, if you cannot refine a first-level intermediate magic weapon, it will be judged as a failure."
When they heard that it was a stick of incense, the expressions of several loose cultivator masters changed slightly.
The casual weapon masters do not have any weapon refining techniques. They are all from wild backgrounds. They usually do not have a large amount of spiritual materials to improve their proficiency in refining magic weapons. The time for refining a stick of incense is indeed tight for them.
"Start!" The Weapon Refining Hall doesn't care about you. Just hearing the start, a stick of incense has already been erected.
Wu Tao took a deep breath and looked around. The other nine weapon refiners had already ignited the spark stones and started to refine the magic weapons.
But he didn't. Instead, he swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill first to restore himself to the best condition. It took almost ten minutes for Fang to regain his energy, and then he started to throw the Spark Stone into the underworld.
The weapon refiner in the weapon refining hall took a look and saw Wu Tao's move. He didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely appreciative in his heart.
Hundred-tough wood, sky spider silk, demon silk... Wu Tao has already achieved 100% success in refining the soul-absorbing robe. Perhaps it is the setting of his main profession. As long as he becomes more and more proficient, there will be no risk of failure. .
He usually refines the soul-absorbing robe, because the process is as skillful as an oil seller, and does not require a stick of incense. But in the eyes of everyone, Wu Tao naturally has to choose to control the speed, keep a low profile, and get third place in the exam. .
Methodically, after processing the hundred tough wood, sky spider silk, and demon silk, Wu Tao began to initially refine the appearance of the robe, and then carved out the soul-absorbing restrictions.
Feeling that someone was looking at him, Wu Tao's dantian trembled slightly, and he squeezed a few drops of sweat out of his forehead, putting on a very difficult expression on his face.
After what happened with Xie Tao Fang Ming, Wu Tao understood that when he didn't know the other person's character, he had to learn to hide his clumsiness appropriately.
What if you perform too well and the other person doesn't appreciate you but is jealous of you?
It's best to behave modestly.
Time passed slowly, and only an inch of the stick of incense was left to burn out. At this time, there was a cry of surprise, but it was the San Cultivation Weapon Master in position 7. He was holding the successfully refined magic weapon in his hand. He was not happy. Zisheng shouted: "I succeeded, hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, just a moment later, another person successfully refined a magic weapon.
The stick of incense is almost finished burning.
Wu Tao looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that all the remaining seven weapon masters had anxious faces and unstable mentality. When their mentality became unstable, they heard three "Zizzizi" sounds, and three casual weapon masters restrained them. Interrupted, refining failed.
Seeing this, the other casual cultivator masters hurriedly calmed down and did not dare to think wildly.
"One stick of incense, time..."
"combine!"
"arrive."
At the last moment, Wu Tao finally refined the soul-absorbing robe. He had a look of joy and fear on his face. He held the soul-absorbing robe in both hands and presented it respectfully: "Sir, I have refined it."
"Very good, three of them succeeded, not bad. Those who failed to refine it, please go out. You three, follow me."
The three successful people followed the weapon refining masters of the refining hall out of the refining room, and then came to a hall similar to a conference room. There were many rows of long tables in the hall, and more than a dozen casual cultivating weapon masters were working on it. Sit and look at the contract in your hand.
"Two junior brothers, these three people do not have first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificates, but they have just passed the first-level and fourth-level weapon refiner examination. The next step will be left to you."
"Okay, senior brother Zhang, walk slowly."
The weapon refiner surnamed Zhang said to Wu Tao and the others: "You are here to read the recruitment contract."
The two weapon refiners in charge of recruiting contracts immediately took out three contracts and handed them to Wu Tao and the others: "You guys find a place and look at the contracts. If there are no problems, sign them and take your palm prints."
Wu Tao took the recruitment contract, found a free seat and sat down, and began to read it carefully one by one.
After watching it, Wu Tao thought to himself: This treatment is indeed not as good as earning spiritual stones by doing it alone, but in order to save his life, he can still accept it.
This is roughly stated in the contract.
If you sign the contract, you will go to the inner city to work on refining magic weapons for the Weapon Refining Hall, which requires four hours of refining every day, one day off every seven days, food and accommodation included, and five medium-grade spiritual stones a month.
Generally, a top casual cultivator master who has reached the first-level intermediate level can earn about eight yuan of mid-level spiritual stones in a month, excluding the number of failures.
Wu Tao has professional bonuses and cannot be considered a serious casual weapon master.
Then during the work period, magical weapons, talismans, elixirs, and elixirs were all given to the casual cultivators at preferential prices.
After the war with the Ghost Dao Sect is over, the Weapon Refining Hall will provide a one-month explanation of weapon refining knowledge to all casual weapon masters, and will also provide five first-level advanced magic weapon refining secrets to explain.
In this era where weapon refining knowledge is monopolized, this point is undoubtedly very attractive to casual weapon refining masters.
Finally, a new mark will be stamped on the first-level intermediate weapon refiner certificate issued. With this mark, it shows that you have contributed to the war cause of Wuquan Mountain, and you can be tax-free for one year, and you can also enjoy half-price rent for one year. .
Wu Tao looked at the second item. There were discounts on elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc., so he gave up his intention of waiting to buy life-saving talismans and went to the inner city weapon refining hall to buy them, which was more cost-effective.
"Five mid-grade spiritual stones a month is too little for me, but most of the weapon refiners who come here to be called are here to be protected by Wuquan Mountain. Hey, these days, safety is the most valuable thing. "
Wu Tao no longer hesitated and directly signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.
