Chapter 959: Lack of Materials
Thunder attribute materials are already very rare, and thunder attribute materials that can be used to refine top-grade spiritual treasures are even rarer.
Duan Qing is going to refine hundreds of top-grade spiritual treasure-level flying swords in one breath, and the thunder attribute materials required are undoubtedly not a small number.
In fact, with the foundation of the Shinto Sect, it is not difficult to gather the thunder attribute materials for hundreds of top-grade flying swords.
But the problem is that although the Shinto Sect can take out enough thunder attribute materials, these thunder attribute materials are not necessarily the same.
You should know that thunder attribute materials are also divided into many kinds, such as Tianlei Stone, Leiyin Mud, and Thunder Strike Wood.
A small part of these thunder attribute materials can be used to refine top-grade spiritual treasures. It is no problem to use a variety of materials to refine hundreds of top-grade flying swords.
However, if the materials are not unified, the refined flying swords will undoubtedly lack in unity.
It should be noted that the refining materials of a set of flying swords are generally the same, in order to form unity and exert greater power.
However, if a special thunder attribute material is used to refine hundreds of top-grade flying swords, even with the foundation of the Shinto Sect, it will not be possible to gather them in a short time.
Thunder attribute materials are not like ordinary five-element materials. Even if the Shinto Sect issues sect tasks to collect them, it is estimated that it will take a long time to gather the number required by Duan Qing.
Moreover, the cost of this method will increase exponentially.
Originally, after Duan Qing mentioned his requirements for flying swords more than a year ago, he consciously helped Duan Qing collect thunder attribute materials to try to ensure that Duan Qing could refine this set of flying swords before the Broken Star Palace.
However, he did not expect that Duan Qing's time to refine flying swords would be greatly advanced. However, he had only learned refining for three years and was about to try to refine.
This completely disrupted his plan.
According to his calculations, it would take another five or six years to gather the thunder attribute materials required by Duan Qing.
Moreover, Duan Qing had to use the method of heart refining to refine flying swords. It would take a lot of time to nurture them with the method of heart refining. Adding the time to collect materials, it was impossible to refine the flying swords before the Broken Star Palace opened.
For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
Duan Qing saw that He Changzai had been silent for a long time, so he tried to ask: "Uncle He, what's wrong with my request?"
He Changzai sighed and explained to Duan Qing about the thunder attribute materials.
After explaining, He Changzai said helplessly: "If you must refine a set of flying swords before the opening of the Broken Star Palace, there are only two ways!"
"The first is to use different thunder attribute materials. The flying swords refined in this way will be much less powerful because of the lack of unity."
"The second is to abandon the thunder attribute and directly refine a single fire attribute flying sword. Although thunder attribute materials are scarce in the sect, fire attribute materials are piled up like mountains, so the cost will be much lower."
Duan Qing frowned.
He Changzai's two methods will undoubtedly reduce the power of the flying sword a lot, which he cannot accept.
He was really unwilling to learn to refine weapons for several years, but in the end he still had to make do with it.
If he had to use the same thunder attribute material to refine the flying sword, he might be able to collect enough materials before the opening of the Broken Star Palace, but there would definitely not be enough time for heart refinement and nurturing.
By then, he would have a set of semi-finished sword embryos, how could it be of great use?
Thinking of this, he was very unwilling and said: "Is there... no other way?"
He Changzai pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked Duan Qing: "By the way, are you sure that the flying sword refined by the heart refining method does not need to be engraved with spiritual patterns?"
He remembered that when Duan Qing explained it just now, he seemed to have mentioned that the heart refining method did not use spiritual patterns.
Duan Qing nodded and looked at He Changzai anxiously.
He Changzai got Duan Qing's confirmation and immediately slapped his thigh and said, "In that case, there is another way!"
Duan Qing was overjoyed: "Please tell me, Master He."
He Changzai touched his chin proudly: "Hehe, since your mind-refining method does not require engraving spiritual patterns, you can use materials without attributes to refine flying swords."
"The reason why we usually choose spiritual treasures that match the attributes of our own cultivation methods is that only spiritual treasures with compatible attributes can perfectly carry our own spiritual power without rejection. Combined with various spiritual patterns, it can often produce better results."
"For example, a fire-attributed spiritual treasure, engraved with fire spiritual patterns, is naturally more powerful when used by cultivators who practice fire-attributed cultivation methods than by cultivators who practice water-attributed cultivation methods. Much greater. "
"Among them, in addition to the power of the spiritual treasure itself, the additional blessing of power is actually more reflected in the spiritual pattern, and the fit between the spiritual pattern and the spiritual treasure."
"As for the properties of the material itself, the blessing of the power of the spiritual treasure can be almost ignored."
"Because the attributeless spiritual treasure does not reject any spiritual power, it can be used by cultivators of all attributes."
"But because the attributeless spiritual treasure almost does not fit with the spiritual pattern, the power is slightly inferior to that of the attributed spiritual treasure."
"In addition, the attributeless materials are also very rare, so they are very useless. Except for the people of Tiangong Sect, very few people will choose to use attributeless spiritual treasures."
Speaking of this, He Changzai was obviously a little excited, and his tone was a little higher.
"However, this does not affect you!"
"Anyway, the spiritual treasure you refined with the method of heart refining will not even record the spiritual pattern, so naturally you don't have to care about the blessing of the spiritual pattern on the spiritual treasure, and the fit between the spiritual pattern and the spiritual treasure!"
"If you use non-attribute materials to refine your flying swords, according to my calculations, the power should be equivalent to the flying swords made from the two attribute materials of thunder and fire. Even if it is slightly weaker, it is not much different."
Duan Qing was delighted, and then he remembered that He Changzai said that non-attribute materials were also very rare, so he couldn't help asking: "Then I wonder if we can gather enough non-attribute materials?"
He Changzai pondered for a while, and said uncertainly: "The rarity of non-attribute materials is about the same as that of thunder attribute materials, but because of their high prices and the fact that not many people use them on a daily basis, there should be quite a lot of them in the sect."
"But after all, you have too many flying swords to refine, and they all have to use the same non-attribute material. I guess you still have to issue sect tasks and collect them for a while."
After that, He Changzai took out the sound transmission jade slip on the spot and communicated with the person.
From He Changzai's tone, the other party seemed to be someone from the sect shop.
After a while, He Changzai put away the sound transmission jade slip and frowned slightly.
Duan Qing didn't hear the other party's voice. Seeing He Changzai in this state, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
