Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The failure of refining for the first time did not dampen Zhou Yang's enthusiasm, because he never imagined that he could succeed once.

If the refining technique is so easy to master, the profession of refining master will not become the most popular profession in the world of cultivating immortals.

It is impossible for any refiner, even the most talented one, to succeed in refining for the first time.

Most of the refining masters have a little bit of refining talent, and then rely on countless materials to accumulate the refining technique.

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, among those casual cultivators who have no family, no sect, and no family, there are very few weapon refiners and alchemists, because they simply cannot afford the wasted material money needed to learn these two skills.

Even for a foundation-building family like the Zhou family with foundation-building monks, it is still very difficult to cultivate a second-level craftsman who can really make money. They have to select talented children and invest a lot of money.

Before Zhou Yang, there were quite a few monks of the "Xuan" generation in the Zhou family who had learned the Art of Artifact Refining, but only his seventh uncle, Zhou Xuanlin, was barely promoted to the second-level artisan master. It was cultivated by smashing materials worth thousands of spirit stones back and forth.

However, the limit for a monk in the Qi training period is a second-level refiner. If you want to become a third-level refiner, you must first become a foundation-building monk.

So when Zhou Minghan said that he hoped that Zhou Yang could inherit his refining technique, the underlying meaning was actually that he hoped that he could succeed in building a foundation.

As long as he can succeed in building the foundation and show a little talent for refining, even if he is smashed with a spirit stone, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-rank refiner!

Of course Zhou Yang didn't know about these things, he just felt that the materials for refining equipment were hard to come by, and it was a pity to waste them, so he didn't rush to try again after the failure, but packed up the waste materials in the equipment tripod, and carefully summed up the experience and lessons.

He didn't start a new attempt until he felt that he had some confidence.

Fail, summarize, fail again, summarize again...

After seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining a finished [Qingfeng Sword], and officially became a first-tier refiner.

With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate when refining weapons later will be much better. Basically, he can succeed once in ten times.

After hundreds of times of refining, he controlled the success rate to two tenths, then he stopped refining [Qingfeng Sword], a first-order magic weapon, and changed to refining another first-level magic weapon [ Flame Knife].

The main material of the first-order magic weapon [Flame Knife] is also refined iron, but at the same time, two-tenths of the fire-attributed spiritual gold and red copper must be mixed. It can stimulate the flame to attach to the knife to cause burning damage to the enemy, and it can also deal with some ghosts that cannot be attacked by pure physical attacks.

The refining process of [Flame Knife] is roughly the same as that of [Qingfeng Sword]. The difference is that when refining [Flame Knife], the prohibition placed in the blade body is not [Feng Rui], but [Flame] prohibition.

Although Zhou Yang had a successful experience in refining the [Qingfeng Sword], he failed in refining the [Flame Knife] magic weapon for the first time.

However, he summed up the experience of failure, and he succeeded the second time by luck, and then after dozens of refinements, he successfully controlled the refining rate of [Flame Knife] to more than 20%.

At this time, there were still a lot of basic refining materials given to him by the old patriarch, but he did not continue refining. The experience, as well as the letter to the parents, were handed over to Zhou Qi, a monk of the same generation who came to collect the refined iron ore output, and asked him to bring it back to the family and hand it over to the old patriarch and his parents who were far away.

Zhou Qi ranks third in the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family, his parents are ordinary mortals, he is already thirty-two years old this year, but because the quality of his spiritual root is only inferior, he has only reached the third level of Qi training with a meager cultivation base , There is no hope of building a foundation in this life.

When he heard that Zhou Yang had become a first-level craftsman, he was naturally surprised at first, and then he took the things with joy and nodded vigorously: "Ninth brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring the things and letters to the old patriarch With uncle and aunt."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and said earnestly and earnestly again: "But you also have to practice hard, don't put all your energy on refining weapons, you are the hope of our entire Zhou family, the elders and elders of the clan We brothers and sisters are all counting on you to successfully build the foundation and lead our Zhou family to go on!"

"What the third brother said is that I will work hard to cultivate, and I will never let the elders down!" Zhou Yang nodded and responded with a serious face.

"As long as you know what's in your mind, then I'll go first."

Watching his clan brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang manipulated the array back to its original state, and closed the door to read the long letter that his parents asked his clan brother to bring to him.

Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, devoted himself to cultivation in his early years. It was not until he was over 60 and found that he had no hope of establishing a foundation, that he followed the family elders' advice to marry a wife and have children.

Just at that time, his mother, Lin Yuting, was hunted down by the enemy and rescued by him when she fled to the oasis of Yuquan Lake. The two got married because of this, and they gave birth to Zhou Yang within a few years.

Because both of them are immortal cultivators, the first child was lucky enough to detect a medium-quality spiritual root. Since then, Zhou Yang has become the darling of the parents. Melted, baby is incredible.

It is precisely because of the meticulous love of his parents since he was a child that Zhou Yang, a traveler with 20 or 30 years of memories of his previous life, slowly let go of everything in his previous life, accepted and recognized his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognized the entire Zhou family. .

And in order for this son to go further than the two of them in the practice, the couple Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting did not have any other children after that, and put all their energy on earning spirit stones and taking care of Zhou Yang .

Later, when they discovered that Zhou Yang had the talent of precocious wisdom and could take care of himself, the couple entrusted him to the elders of the clan to take care of him, and then sat in the shop opened by the family in a city of Cultivation of Immortals all year round. The alchemy and brewing techniques he mastered earned spiritual stones for the family and his son.

As an "experienced person", Zhou Yang understood the thoughts of the couple Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting very well.

Just like his parents in the previous life left their hometown and went to work in the city at a young age in order to support him to study and go to school, everything Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting are doing now is also for him to build a foundation in the future and to be able to practice on the road of cultivation. go further.

So he never resented because he couldn't see his parents all the year round. Instead, he would write many trust letters to his parents every year from the elders of the family, telling them about his usual life experiences. He knew that these seemingly ordinary and boring things were just Parents most want to see.

"Yang'er, Qingping Mountain is far away from the family, you must think twice before acting in any situation, and protect yourself first..."

"Son, the business of mother's restaurant is getting better and better recently. This is all driven by the idea you gave mother last time. My son is indeed a genius. He will definitely become a monk in the foundation period in the future, no, he will definitely become a monk. Ancestor Jindanqi!"

Zhou Yang looked at the letter written by his parents word by word, with a sincere smile on his face. A simple letter from his parents inspired him far more useful than thousands of words from others.

After reading the entire letter, he carefully put away the letter paper, and whispered to himself: "There are still two years left, when I finish the remaining two years of stationing tasks, I will go back to the family and prepare to break through the seventh level of Qi training. After I broke through to the seventh level of Qi training and was promoted to the late stage of Qi training, I applied to the old patriarch to go to Fangshi to garrison, and then our family can be reunited!"

On the other hand, when Zhou Qi returned to the family with the magic weapon and experience refined by Zhou Yang and handed it over to the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan immediately paid great attention to it.

He personally inspected the magic weapons refined by Zhou Yang one by one, pointed out the shortcomings and gave suggestions for improvement, and gave answers to the questions recorded by Zhou Yang on the refining experience, and then let a The family elders of the "Guang" generation personally went to Zhou Yang to send some higher-level refining materials and refining experience to Zhou Yang.

"Hahaha, Xiaojiu, you are really uplifting. This old man has lived for hundreds of years. It is the first time that I see the old patriarch so happy and value a junior so much. Now your reputation as Qilin'er of the Zhou family is spread all over the clan. , even those secular clansmen are talking about your deeds!"

The old man of the "Guang" generation of the Zhou family who was in charge of delivering things to Zhou Yang was named Zhou Quan, who ranked third among his peers and was the second elder among the eight elders of the Zhou family.

The old man is already one hundred and twelve years old, and he is very close to the life span of a monk in the qi training period. If Zhou Minghan hadn't personally ordered him to go by name and surname this time, no one in the family would have dared to disturb this soon-to-be-destroyed man elder.

"It's really a crime for the third grandpa to run this trip, it's really a crime!"

Zhou Yang looked at the old man whose mouth was leaking when he laughed, and while being moved in his heart, he also sighed secretly.

He knew that the old patriarch would never have allowed Zhou Quan, an old man who was about to die, to make this trip if the monks in the late stage of Qi training in the family had not all had their own tasks.

Zhou Quan's arrival not only showed how much the old patriarch and the family valued him, but also exposed the family's lack of available manpower.

"Hehehe, I'm getting old, it doesn't matter if I die tomorrow, I can see an outstanding junior like you appearing in the family before I die, I will die in peace!"

The old man Zhou Quan smiled cheerfully, reached out and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder lightly to show his closeness, but he had already looked down on life and death.

But he said so, and after the next second, he still couldn't help but sigh with regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity that I can't wait for the day when you build the foundation, otherwise the old man will have the face to go to hell after death." I'm going to meet the ancestor of Yuquan!"

Zhou Yang was silent, and his mood became heavy.

For more than a hundred years, several generations of monks of the Zhou family have been stuck in the foundation building, so that old people like Zhou Quan have deep obsessions in their hearts. The only obsession in their hearts is I hope that in the rest of my life, I can see another monk in the foundation stage appear in the Zhou family, taking over the old patriarch to protect the family.

His father, Zhou Xuanhao, actually had this kind of obsession, otherwise he would not have tried his best to earn spirit stones outside to prepare for him to build a foundation in the future.

And just when Zhou Yang was thinking about how to break this heavy atmosphere, a flame suddenly passed through the sea of ​​clouds outside Qingping Mountain and landed in front of him, from which came the extremely panicked voice of Zhou's family steward of the refined iron mine outside. : "Master Immortal, help, there are powerful monsters attacking the mine!"
