I will survive with proficiency

There are nearly 20 peaks in the Tianyan Sect, plus the elders of the main peak, there are many monks in the late Jindan period. These peak masters and elders have their own strengths. For example, Bian Zhenzhen of the seventh peak is good at alchemy, and Lianhua Zhenren of the 13th peak likes to practice hard alone.

As the Great Sword Cultivator of the ninth level of Jindan, Ximenhe is not weak, but he does not have an independent peak.

His cave is on the main peak.

And the location is relatively remote.

Chen Ping followed the leading disciples through a secluded road and came out of a bamboo forest, only to find that his vision suddenly opened up.

According to the guide disciple, this area is the territory of Ximen Mansion. Going forward, you can see some exclusive refining workshops on both sides of the road, and the disciples are busy inside.

"Brother Ximen can refine weapons?" Chen Ping asked the disciples who led the way beside him with doubts in his heart.

"It's not just a meeting, Elder Ximen is a true master of refining weapons." The leading disciple talked about Ximen Crane, and his spirit was radiant:

"Elder Ximen didn't refine weapons before, but since entering Jindan, as a sword cultivator, he still couldn't find a sword that suits him, so he almost embarked on the way of refining weapons. Every sword that Elder Ximen used these years , Almost all of them are from his own hand, or are ancient swords that have been modified and refined by him."

Chen Ping nodded slightly.

In fact, after reaching the middle stage of Golden Core, the monks who pursue higher levels will choose to learn the way of cultivating tools.

The reason is very simple, it is not easy to find a talisman that suits you, and it is not flexible enough if you go to a special refining school to order it. If you know how to refine weapons, you will be much more flexible, and you can even adjust the functions of magic weapons at any time.

But this is also limited to the pursuit of higher monks.

More monks don't have so much time, energy and talent to toss, and will choose to compromise and choose a passable magic weapon as their natal magic weapon.

Ximenhe is obviously the kind of monk who pursues a higher level.

It's not just about pursuing higher levels.

Walking along the way, Chen Ping could see that these disciples were very skilled in refining weapons. It can be seen that, as the leading disciple said, Ximen Crane is quite accomplished in refining weapons.

"Brother Ximen only forges swords?" Along the way, Chen Ping discovered something unusual. All the forging disciples were forging only one magic weapon—the magic sword.

"That's right, Elder Ximen only practiced swords. The elder said that our generation of monks has a limited time in our life. It is infinitely better to master one thing to the extreme than just learn a hundred things." The leading disciple replied respectfully.

This is true.

But except for Chen Ping.

Soon the two came to Ximen's inner mansion, and after reporting and seeing Ximen He, they led the disciples away.

In the living room, the two sat in the host and guest seats. After seeing the ceremony, Chen Ping first handed over a monster horn of a third-order monster obtained in Canglan Grassland to Ximenhe as a meeting gift.

He and Xiyue are masters, so they can bother the master without any scruples.

But Ximenhe has no friendship with him.

Now that I come here to ask for important matters, those who should be greeted should still be greeted.

Reciprocity can last long.

Ximenhe carefully looked at the demon horn in his hand:

"Junior Brother Chen is lucky. This kind of monster doesn't like the aura of the human race, and it is very rare in the habitat of the human race. This monster horn is not very common. Will Chen Junior Brother be willing?"

The monster horn is the main offensive weapon of the monster, which is equivalent to the magic weapon of the human race, and it itself has the attribute of magic weapon.

Usually an excellent material for refiners.

Chen Ping originally wanted to give a demon pill to Ximen He, but seeing that he was proficient in refining weapons, he temporarily changed it to give a demon horn.

"Senior Ximen was joking, it's just a monster horn. As long as it is useful to Senior Ximen." Chen Ping laughed.

"Haha, then I won't be polite." Ximen He pocketed the demon horn.

Chen Ping was recommended by Xiyue, and Ximenhe should treat him politely, even if Chen Ping didn't bring Lilly with him. But after Chen Ping's meeting ceremony appeared, he had a better impression of Chen Ping and felt more comfortable.

Then there was a pause:

"Oh? I haven't seen you in two years. Junior brother Chen is already in the middle stage of Golden Core?"

"I just had the good fortune to form an alchemy. Why don't you come here to ask Brother Ximen about the choice of magic weapon for the sword cultivator?" Chen Ping smiled calmly.

"Hehe, it's no wonder that Uncle Xiyue accepts Junior Brother as his apprentice. With Junior Brother's disposition of not being surprised, it is worthy of Senior Uncle Xiyue's hand. It is not easy to learn from Senior Uncle Xiyue." Ximen He smiled.

Thinking of the natal magic weapon mentioned by Chen Ping, Ximen He whispered:

"However, Junior Brother Chen is right to be here today. During this period of time, Senior Uncle Xiyue is not in the Tianyan Sect, otherwise Junior Brother Chen may not be able to see me when he comes."

"Why?" Chen Ping was taken aback.

"Uncle Xiyue has been displeased with me in recent years, and punished me in seclusion every time. I am also puzzled. I don't know where I offended my uncle. Now I have to stay away when I see her. Wait for my uncle. After I come back, my junior brother will have to inquire about me." Ximen He felt lingering fear.

Chen Ping: .

Although I don't know why, Xiyue likes to convince people with reasoning, which is normal.

Chen Ping mourned for Ximen He for two seconds.

"Okay, Junior Brother try to find out." Chen Ping smiled, then changed the topic and asked:

"Senior brother, can you introduce this natal magic weapon to junior brother?"

After the introduction of Ximenhe, Chen Ping learned more information.

After entering the mid-stage of the golden core, a new bunch of pill fire will grow on the inner alchemy, also known as the soul of the pill fire.

After this pill fire was formed, it reached the ability to refine a specific magic weapon.

Golden core monks only need to place the selected magic weapon in the dantian, and use the pill fire to continuously accumulate the magic weapon to form a natal magic weapon, which will greatly increase its power.

"It's not difficult to put the magic weapon into the dantian, you just need to cast the spell according to the specific spell. The difficult thing is to choose or modify the right magic weapon." Ximen He took a sip of tea and continued to introduce.

Not all magic weapons can be placed in the dantian, but magic weapons that have been refined by specific means can achieve this goal.

This kind of magic weapon is called 'Danhuo magic weapon'.

There are some high-end and high-grade refining sects who will specialize in refining such magic weapons and enter the market. Through the auction, you may be lucky enough to get this magic weapon of Danhuo.

But this kind of pill and fire magic weapon is usually universal.

But there are thousands of ways, and the situation of every monk is different. The Danhuo magic weapon obtained through this method can also become a life magic weapon, and its growth rate will be far less than that of a tailor-made life magic weapon.

"According to senior brother, it's best to refine the alchemy weapon by yourself?" Chen Ping asked.

Simon Crane explained in detail:

"That's right. This is also the reason why I have never made weapons before, senior brother, but I also chose to become a weapon refiner after Jin Dan."

"However, there are gains and losses. Becoming a refiner is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, especially to become an excellent refiner. It often takes decades, or even hundreds of years to become a good refiner. Master, it also depends on talent."

"It is precisely because of this that most monks are willing to go to the auction to bid for the ready-made Danhuo magic weapon when they choose their natal magic weapon."

He explained the pros and cons of each link as fairly and justly as possible in order to mislead Chen Ping.

After all, not every monk has such talent.

After listening to Ximen He's explanation, Chen Ping was thoughtful.

'Becoming a refiner is difficult, but for me, I have an advantage. If I just learn a single technique of refining, it shouldn't take too much time. '

‘Instead of going to the auction to bid for an ordinary pill fire magic weapon. Self-improvement is obviously more suitable. This is a long-term profitable process, and it is worth the effort at this moment. '

"Has Junior Brother Chen ever refined weapons before?" Ximen He's voice interrupted Chen Ping's thoughts.

"Never." Chen Ping shook his head:

"However, now that it's the middle stage of Jindan, I also want to understand the way of refining this weapon. Dare I ask Brother Ximen, what's so special about refining this magic weapon of Danhuo?"

Ximen He rationalized his thinking:

"The most difficult thing about refining weapons lies in two aspects, one is to obtain the refining books, and the other is to obtain the materials for refining tools. Both of these aspects are not easy, and you have to pay attention to opportunities. Therefore, if you can Some magic weapons, on this basis to transform is the best shortcut."

After a pause, he said again:

"Of course, if the younger brother wants to refine the sword intent magic weapon, I have some books here and I can provide it to the younger brother."

Chen Ping immediately thanked him.

The higher the magic weapon is, the harder it is to obtain the refining materials.

Some refiners are obsessed with a certain kind of magic weapon, and they do not hesitate to go deep into all kinds of dangers to obtain materials, such as the inner bones of rare monsters, etc., and even end up dying.

Moreover, such materials are often priceless treasures, rarely appearing on the market, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

Chen Ping thought for a while, then continued to ask:

"Above the choice of talisman, is there any way to judge?"

The implication is that in this myriad of worlds, there are countless types of magic weapons, how can I judge what kind of magic weapon is suitable for me?

Ximen Crane thought for a while:

"The choice of natal magic weapon mainly depends on two aspects. One is the monk's own talent and advantages. The other is the quality of the magic weapon that can be obtained."

The first aspect is to look at the monks themselves.

For example, a sword repairer like Ximen He's strength and talent lies in the sword. So for Ximenhe, he doesn't need to think too much when choosing his talisman.

Just choose the magic sword.

The only thing to consider is to get a powerful enough magic sword.

Jianxiu Road to the north is somewhat similar.

Some talisman masters may even choose to place a talisman in the dantian to become a natal magic weapon.

The second aspect is to see treasures.

Some monks themselves have no particularly outstanding advantages. Especially for some Dharma Cultivators, they know a little about all kinds of spells, but none of them are too peak.

These monks are actually the majority.

In this case, it is more about the pros and cons of the pill fire magic weapon that can be obtained. For example, a very ordinary magic weapon was auctioned, and then an ancient high-quality magic weapon was obtained by chance.

There is no doubt that choosing the second one as the talisman is the best choice.

"Besides, the natal magic weapon should not be too complicated. The simpler the better, the easier it is to grow to a terrifying level. This is why sword repair can often break ten thousand spells with one trick." Ximen He added.

Chen Ping understood.

Instead of starting from scratch and overcoming many difficulties to find raw materials to refine a brand new magic weapon, it is better to transform the existing magic weapon.

At least the risk of taking the material is left.

There are only two good weapons that he can really handle now.

One is the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

The second is the soul whip.

The soul-drawing whip is just an ordinary magic weapon, and it is not worth cultivating a life-giving magic weapon.

From this point of view, the only option is the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

Of course, you can go to the market to continue auctioning and buying magic weapons. But the probability of being able to buy it at auction is not as high as that of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

This is a rare ancient treasure of exterminating spirits.

After Chen Ping figured this out, he asked:

"Senior brother Ximen, after thinking about it again and again, I still want to try refining my own talisman. So I want to ask my brother two things."

"Haha, I knew my junior would make this choice. Only with this unwillingness to be mediocre can you achieve great things. What do you want? Tell me." Ximen He put down his teacup with a snap and said loudly.

It doesn't matter whether it is a big deal or not.

I just want to live forever.

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"Senior brother is too famous, whether it can be done or not is another matter, but if you don't try, you will leave regrets in your heart."

"Brother would like to request two things. One, I want to learn the art of refining weapons from my brother. The other is to ask my brother for a refining book of the sword intent magic weapon."

"Oh? It seems that Junior Brother Chen is going to choose a sword cultivator? Congratulations, haha, there is another sword cultivator in the Tianyan Sect. The things that Junior Brother asks for are small things." Ximen He waved his hand:

"The art of refining weapons can be learned at any time. As for refining the magic weapon of sword intent, Junior Brother Chen can read the summary books in the library of the mansion before making a decision."

Chen Ping quickly expressed his thanks.

He knew that the reason why Ximen He was so easy to talk to was not because of himself, but because he was Xiyue's apprentice.

It was recommended by Xiyue.

"."

After the exchange, Chen Ping did not leave, but immediately started to learn the training equipment.

Because Chen Ping was just getting started, it wasn't his turn for a master craftsman like Ximen He to do it himself. Therefore, Ximenhe handed Chen Ping over to a refining workshop in his mansion, and his eldest disciple taught him.

The eldest disciple of Ximenhe is also a Golden Core cultivator, his cultivation level is similar to that of Chen Ping, and he is in the middle stage of Golden Core.

"I will only refine swords in Ximen's mansion. Since Master Chen has no experience in refining weapons, how about I start self-studying from the first-level magic sword?" Brother Yang suggested.

Hearing Brother Yang's address, Chen Ping couldn't laugh or cry.

"My cultivation level is similar to that of Fellow Daoist Yang. You don't have to stick to red tape, you just need to be called a fellow Daoist."

Brother Yang smiled and said:

"Since Chen Daoyou said so, then I will not be polite. From now on, I will be called Daoyou."

Next, he began to explain the essentials of refining equipment to Chen Ping, and at the same time began to guide Chen Ping in refining equipment.

The refining of a first-order magic sword is relatively simple.

The base material can be bought in the market, and of course the refining workshop also refines it by itself.

Chen Ping first roughly learned the refining of the base material (that is, forging iron).

Then began to practice the most core part, that is, to engrave the pattern of prohibition on the bottom plate.

"There are three kinds of flames that can be used when refining a magic weapon. One is the spark fire, the other is the earth fire, and the third is the pill fire."

"There is a progressive relationship between the three. Star Fire is the worst, and Pill Fire is the best. But if all the magic tools are refined with Pill Fire, the loss outweighs the gain. Pill Fire is a very precious thing. So The real best way to refine is to refine with earth fire combined with pill fire."

"That's why Master didn't monopolize a peak to become the peak owner. Because this area is the best place for the Tianyan Sect's Earth Fire. The Earth Fire here is also called the Goblin Fire."
