Chapter 250 The weapon is completed
Success is worthy of joy, but failure is not without merit.
Lin Mu worked hard to refine it for two months, and the harvest was not small.
Now he is very proficient in carving out the first-level formations, and he is very familiar with them.
He was able to carve out six first-grade formations in one go with ease.
However, when sculpting the second-grade "Floating Cloud Formation", Lin Mu encountered many obstacles and the progress was not satisfactory.
The second-grade formation is inherently complicated and obscure, and if there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Lin Mu thought that he had a thorough understanding of "Floating Cloud Formation", but he found it difficult to actually describe it.
Nothing is as easy as imagined. Many things that seem extremely easy turn out to be a mess when it's your turn to do them.
Refining magic weapons is not a simple matter, and not everyone can become a master of weapon refining.
Refining medium-grade magic weapons is becoming increasingly difficult, and many people are stuck on it.
In the realm of Tianxiao, geniuses emerge in endlessly like crucian carp, but those who truly become golden elixirs are very few, not one in ten thousand. It is even rarer to be able to become a master of weapon refining on this basis.
Qianyu Sword Sect is now one of the top five sects in the Tianxiao Realm, and there is only one weapon refining master in the sect, Elder Luo Yan.
This is also the reason why Shi Weihan has been reluctant to take action against Luo Yan.
Although Qianyu Sword Sect is a swordsmanship sect, it advocates strong attack power.
But without Luo Yan to refine the magic weapon, the disciples' powerful attack power would be impossible to talk about.
Are we going to let all the cultivators in the late stage of Lingji control the middle-grade flying swords and shout to fight and kill?
If this were the case, Qianyu Sword Sect would have been bombarded to pieces, with no ashes left.
Until now, Lin Mufang deeply felt that the gap between himself and Elder Luo Yan was like a natural chasm, insurmountable.
Luo Yan could easily refine the top-grade magic weapon.
Lin Mu now couldn't even refine a medium-grade magic weapon. He was stuck in the engraving formation and could not break through.
The difficulty of refining a top-grade magic weapon is at least a hundred times more than that of a mid-grade magic weapon.
The fourth-grade formations are vast and complex, far superior to the second-grade formations. The number of formations engraved on top-grade magic weapons far exceeds that of mid-grade magic weapons. Even any formation is above third-grade magic tools.
But every time Elder Luo Yan refines it, it is like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go, and he succeeds every time and never misses.
Before, Lin Mu only felt that Elder Luo Yan had superb weapon-making skills and was amazed at it, but he had no other feelings.
Now that he has started refining the weapon himself, he realizes that every step is not that easy.
In fact, Lin Mu's current equipment refining conditions are extremely favorable.
His cultivation and consciousness are comparable to those in the late stage of Lingji. The spiritual fire used is the third-grade bell bamboo shoot fire. His fire control skills have reached the level of the four-leaf fire lotus. The refining furnaces and cauldrons are all top-grade magical weapons. Under such conditions, the refining Top-grade magic weapons are more than enough.
But now he has been working hard for more than two months, but he can't even refine a medium-grade magic weapon.
If you want to refine a high-grade flying sword, I'm afraid it will be more difficult.
Lin Mu is already so diligent, and other weapon refiners must not be much better.
Lin Mu now understands more and more, no wonder so many people like to kill people and seize treasures, and get something for nothing.
The normal path is too difficult, bumpy and rugged.
But compared to killing people and seizing treasures, Lin Mu wanted to take this rugged road.
Killing people and seizing treasures can bring huge rewards, but at the same time, you are risking your life.
Those who kill will always be killed.
Although Lin Mu felt that he was not a righteous person or a kind person, he was not willing to take the initiative to kill people and seize treasures.
Only those who truly practice hard will understand that practice is not easy.
If you kill a cultivator in the spiritual silence stage, you may be able to get a high-grade magic weapon, or even a lot of spiritual stones.
For the murderer, this is just the most ordinary harvest.
But for those who were killed, a lifetime of struggle evaporated in an instant.
Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness and anger in his heart when he thought about how one day he would be targeted for murder and treasure grabbing.
Therefore, when he encounters people who want to kill people and seize treasures, he will kill them without mercy.
In comparison, he was more willing to take this path of asceticism.
Rely on your own efforts and make little progress to get what you want and achieve what you want.
The risk of such hard training is relatively small. With his current strength, others would not dare to provoke him easily.
If he can refine a mid-grade magic weapon, or even a high-grade magic weapon, then the fifty disciples' flying swords will also be found.
A top-grade flying sword would cost thousands of spirit stones, and a top-quality flying sword would even cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.
If fifty disciples in the Qi Refining Stage were to build the foundation together, it would be a huge expense for each of them just to purchase a flying sword.
If Lin Mu can achieve success in refining weapons, he can also save a lot of spiritual stones.
If his level goes further and he can refine a top-quality magic weapon, he can also refine a top-quality flying sword for each of his parents and Yun Meng in the future.
Now, he has been able to successfully carve out six first-level formations. He only needs to work harder to carve out the second-level "Floating Cloud Formation" to successfully refine the Flying Cloud Boots. The third step, spiritual power tempering, is relatively simple. It is nothing more than hard work, not as complicated as the engraving formation.
The four-leaf fire lotus was burning blazingly at the bottom of the cauldron, the red flame cauldron was bursting with red light, and the surrounding white mist had long since been driven away, leaving a clear and bright scene.
The snow-white boots turned into a ball of white liquid again in the furnace, and the refining started again.
Six hours later.
Lin Mu casually cast a dozen spells. The furnace lid opened, and white liquid flew out, burning hot.
After two months of hard work, Lin Mu has made a lot of progress in refining materials, from the initial eight hours to only six hours. He is now more and more skilled in controlling fire, and he will also benefit from it when making elixirs in the future.
Under the control of Lin Mu's magic technique, the white liquid split into two, and then gradually turned into a pair of exquisite and gorgeous boots.
The first step is to take shape!
Lin Mu is doing quite well now. A pair of boots are exquisite and gorgeous, extremely exquisite.
This is the result of careful refining.
Although Lin Mu had never succeeded, he was not careless every time he refined it.
During this process, the level of weapon refining has also made great progress invisibly.
After taking shape, Lin Mu looked more serious and began to carve the formation.
The first three first-level formations can be easily completed without any effort.
The fourth formation was also completed easily.
The fifth formation also has no obstacles.
In the sixth formation, Lin Mu's formation speed was slightly slower and he became more cautious.
Now it only takes him about three hours to carve out these six formations, which is still far better than before.
The characterization of "Floating Cloud Formation" is the top priority.
Whether Feiyun Boots can fly and how fast it flies are closely related to the quality of Lin Mu's formation.
If it is roughly completed, although it can be regarded as a medium-grade magic weapon, it is not too weak.
If the "Floating Cloud Formation" can be perfectly matched with the White Water Stone, its power will increase two or three times!
The difference between them is huge.
However, Lin Mu can't even complete the most basic steps now.
"Floating Cloud Formation" was only a third of the way through, and Lin Mu felt there were flaws.
If the spiritual power carves a slightly heavy pattern, the inside of Feiyun Boots will immediately collapse, and all the formations carved before will be useless.
Lin Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly.
This failure was not only due to the formation, but also due to lack of familiarity with the material properties.
In fact, the lines he carved were extremely smooth, rounded and free, and would have been perfect if he had not used a slightly heavier force.
However, this time, all previous efforts were in vain.
White water stone is brittle, so it is not advisable to use too much forceful spiritual power, otherwise the inside will collapse.
Although Lin Mu was careful enough, he was not clear about the limits.
This failure is another experience gained.
He will definitely pay attention to this the next time he refines it to avoid making the same mistake a second time.
Lin Mu meditated for a while and adjusted his breath, and the spiritual power in his body returned to its best state. Then he threw the boots into the red flame cauldron, cast the "Red Fire Technique", and started refining again.
The fifty disciples were already used to Lin Mu's failure and were already calm and composed about it.
After several months of hard training, the fifty disciples have also made great progress.
Nowadays, every disciple can easily restore spiritual energy consumption sixty times, and Shi Jian can even do it eighty times!
It's hard to make further progress, but the disciples' practice has achieved remarkable results and their enthusiasm is getting higher and higher.
Lin Mu was also inexplicably happy about this. As soon as he refined the Feiyun Boots, he was ready to help the disciples who were hopeful of succeeding in foundation building to attack the foundation building.
Compared with the joy of his disciples, Lin Mu would undoubtedly suffer.
His refining failed again!
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. He has been refining weapons for only a few months. He has not even refined a few low-grade magic weapons before he attacks the middle-grade magic weapons. Failure is inevitable. When Shitou learned alchemy, he started directly from the second-grade Spiritual Returning Pill, which also consumed a lot of materials and led to more failures.
Fortunately, if the refining fails, the materials can be re-smelted.
Otherwise, Lin Mu would not dare to practice like this.
Now, he has free time, does not waste materials, and can slowly improve the level of weapon refining. Although he still fails, he can see things clearly and is not as impatient as he was at the beginning.
Failure is repeated again and again, and time passes quickly in failure.
Lin Mu's weapon refining level has also improved little by little, and he has accumulated rich experience. He is able to understand many things with ease.
The characterization of "Floating Cloud Formation" is also a big improvement.
In a blink of an eye, March has passed again.
On this day, Lin Mu took out the Red Flame Cauldron and started refining it again as usual.
The four-leaf fire lotus dances at the bottom of the cauldron, and the red flame cauldron flashes red light, creating waves of pressure.
The boots turned into white liquid again in the furnace, crystal clear and pure.
Five hours later.
Lin Mu realized that the heat was enough, and suddenly fired more than a dozen spells, and white liquid immediately flew out of the furnace.
Under the control of Lin Mu's magic formula, the white liquid suddenly separated, split into two, and then changed its shape. As Lin Mu played the magic formula faster and faster, a pair of exquisite and gorgeous boots gradually took shape!
The first step is to take shape!
It's perfect!
Lin Mu was full of confidence and started carving the formation again.
The six first-level formations are like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
Lin Mu felt calm and at ease as he carefully played out the magic formula. The movement of spiritual power in his body changed freely. Lines of spiritual power were carved out one after another. The second-grade "Floating Cloud Formation" began to take shape!
Under Lin Mu's careful carving, "Floating Cloud Formation" became more refined and perfect, and the fit with the white water stone became even more perfect.
Three hours later.
A dazzling white light flashed by, and Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with joy.
The second step is to carve the formation! Finish!
Lin Mu then kept on activating his spiritual power again and began to temper it.
After being tempered over and over again with spiritual power, the Feiyun Boots shimmered with light, becoming more crystal clear and extremely gorgeous.
Such a strong light attracted the attention of fifty disciples.
Everyone looked happy and came to watch.
Three hours later.
Lin Mu cast the last spell, white light flew into the sky, and the surrounding area was as bright as day.
The white light disappeared, and a pair of exquisite and gorgeous flying cloud boots appeared in front of everyone!
