Chapter 199 Qianqiao Pavilion
Wang Hong entered the space, and the golden mottled bamboo grew much taller. When it was planted, it was only three feet high, as thick as a thumb.
Now it has grown to a height of more than five feet, a little bigger than a thumb, and there are some bamboo shoots around the thickness of a thumb, about eight inches high.
These bamboo shoots are a rare delicacy. The golden mottled bamboo grows once every five hundred years. He is relatively busy during this time, so he hasn't had time to taste this delicacy.
While cutting down the golden mottled bamboo, he picked more than a dozen bamboo shoots by the way, and left a few bamboo shoots to grow bamboo.
Out of the space, put away the golden mottled bamboo, and found out the white wolf hair. The main materials for refining the spiritual weapon talisman pen are ready.
He knew a few shops specialized in refining weapons before, but now they are still under construction everywhere, so he can only go out and look for them.
The new Boundary City is still modeled after Jin'an City, and the overall scale is not particularly large. There is only one street running north-south and one street running east-west.
Two main streets intersect, dividing Boundary City into four districts, called Districts A, B, C, and D.
The east section of the street is called East Street, and the other three sections can be deduced accordingly.
Wang Hong went to the street and saw a building under construction with the signboard of Qianqiao Pavilion hanging on it.
Among the six major sects, Qianqiao Pavilion is the one that is best at refining weapons, and is also good at making puppets of various mechanisms.
Wang Hong walked towards the newly built gate. The lobby on the first floor had already been built. After he entered, a clerk in the Qi training period greeted him immediately.
"Senior, do you need to buy items or entrust a refiner?" the clerk asked after saluting.
"I want to entrust the refining of a spiritual weapon. I wonder if your shop's refiner is free?" Wang Hong asked the clerk.
"I'm very sorry, there are quite a lot of people entrusting the refiner nowadays, if necessary, you can only wait in line." The clerk said a little embarrassed.
"Oh! So how long will I have to wait?"
If the time is short, he will wait. If the time is too long, he wants to go to other places. After all, this is not the only one that can refine weapons.
"It will take about three months. I wonder if senior needs it urgently? If not, I will ask the craftsman to have an interview with senior."
Nowadays, Boundary City is waiting to be rebuilt, and many places need the work of refiners and formation masters.
Besides, after the Great War, there are more monks who need to refine weapons, so it is relatively normal to wait for three months.
"Okay! Go and invite your refining equipment!"
The clerk led Wang Hong to a corner of the hall to sit down, and left after apologizing.
Because the building has not yet been fully completed, there is no special secret room for consultation, only a set of seats is placed in the corner.
A moment later, the clerk led a young man with only Qi training and an old man over.
"Hello, senior! My master is in the refining process, so it's inconvenient to disturb. If the senior needs to refine the weapon, he can hand over the items and requirements to the junior."
The young man is the disciple of the craftsman in this store. If the craftsman is busy, he will be responsible for the reception on weekdays.
Wang Hong can understand this, he doesn't like to receive alchemy in person, it's too time-consuming.
The old man is the store manager, but he is not very familiar with the art of refining, so he needs to bring the apprentice of the refining master.
"I want to refine a talisman pen, and I have prepared two materials. Can you see if it can be refined?"
The young man checked it carefully and said: "Very good! The golden mottled bamboo is more than 500 years old, and the second-grade white wolf hair is a good material for refining the talisman pen.
If these materials are successfully refined, they should be able to refine middle-grade spirit weapons, but there is a certain probability of failure in refining spirit weapons. I wonder if seniors can accept it? "
The same as alchemy, there is a certain success rate for refining equipment, and the failure of the refining master may reduce the grade of the finished product.
For example, Wang Hong's particularly large alchemy furnace was a failure.
There are even some unskilled refiners who will scrap all the materials for refining.
"Fine."
Wang Hong reluctantly agreed that there are such conditions in any place.
Moreover, his materials were more than enough to refine a talisman pen, and the excess materials naturally went into the pocket of the refiner.
Just like he would deduct part of the elixir when he made alchemy for others, such as craftsmen, spirit meal masters, array mages, etc., various industries will have their own ways to make money.
Who told him that he didn't know how to refine weapons? This feeling of being out of his own control is not very good.
"In addition, some auxiliary refining materials need to be added, about 10,000 spirit stones are needed, and the refining cost is 30,000 spirit stones. Seniors can take 10,000 spirit stones as a deposit in advance."
Wang Hong handed over two pieces of materials and 10,000 spirit stones to the young man.
The shopkeeper who had been silent next to him wrote a receipt to Wang Hong.
If the store manager doesn’t show up and hand over the materials and deposit directly to a little qi cultivator, it is estimated that few people will feel at ease.
Wang Hong left Qianqiao Pavilion after discussing all the entrusted weapon refining matters with the store manager.
Wang Hong returned to his temporary residence. Now that Boundary City has not yet been built, Qingxu Building arranged for him a small temporary house.
Since he was going to refine the second-order talismans, he planned to practice and become more proficient with the first-grade top-grade talismans.
Over the years, he has never let go of his study of runes.
He has always insisted on learning from the most basic, using more than a hundred times the time in the space, and now he has laid a solid foundation on various basic runes such as Yin-Yang runes.
This is something that many foundation-building monks cannot achieve in their entire lives.
After all, a foundation-building cultivator only has a lifespan of two hundred years. During the decades of Qi training, he has to run around every day for survival and foundation-building.
After establishing the foundation, I have to run around for spiritual stones, elixir, and spiritual weapons. In addition to meditating and practicing every day
There are very few people who can really learn these basic things quietly, because the basic things are conducive to long-term development, but they are not very helpful for the present.
The basic knowledge he has now mastered can completely refine second-order talismans, but there is still a lack of actual practice.
He picked some 80-year-old celestial grass from the space to make first-grade top-grade talisman paper.
Thirty-year-old Chenguang Grass can be used to make first-tier middle-grade talisman paper, and those over 80 years old can be used to make first-tier top-grade talisman paper.
The Chenguang grass in the outside world will wither and die after growing for a hundred years. Some of the Chenguang grass planted in his space have reached two hundred years, and they are still growing vigorously.
Wang Hong also picked a few plants of Chenguang Grass that were two hundred years old, and the talisman paper he made was better than the top-grade first-grade, but it had not yet reached the second-grade level.
He made two hundred pieces of talisman paper from these eighty-year-old Chen Guangcao.
