Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 203

In the room, Chu Mu sat cross-legged.

All the spiritual materials were laid out, and the spiritual fire in front of him was already burning.

Although it was the first time refining, Chu Mu had obviously been preparing for this time.

From the time when I got the puppet art jade slips, to the underground auction house that day, to this book of refining handbook, and now.

It has been many years in the past.

The past seems to be still vivid in his mind, and the eyebrows seem to be a little more complicated.

It took a while for Chu Mu to calm down a little, to calm his mind and breath, and while his consciousness was flowing, a fist-sized spiritual mine was suspended above the spiritual fire in a blink of an eye.

A bottle of spiritual oil was poured, and the spiritual fire rose suddenly. The scorching temperature, which was manipulated by the fire control technique, was also difficult to isolate.

Under such raging spiritual fire, that piece of spiritual mine melted visibly to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pool of flowing liquid, suspended in front of Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was neither sad nor happy, and continued to refine in an orderly manner.

Just like alchemy, the most important thing is the fusion of medicinal properties.

The same is true for refining equipment.

Each kind of spiritual ore is a natural alloy, and its properties are also different.

Between collocations, the reactions they produce and the final products are also different.

This is the most basic step, but also the most critical step.

What to keep, what to let go...

The principle of this step is the same as that of alchemy, and the operation is naturally the same.

Chu Mu is very proficient, flowing smoothly beyond his expectations.

Under the "Blessing of Spiritual Brilliance", the self-confidence when refining alchemy seems to appear in this refining tool.

It's just that refining tools is much more complicated than refining alchemy.

The body of knowledge is also much larger.

Alchemy, after this step, is the hope of alchemy.

As for the refining device, after this step, there will still be that incomparably complicated device pattern, engraved with the formation ban.

Any slightest mistake is to waste all previous efforts...

One failure.

Failed twice.

Failed three times.

Failed five times.

Failed seven times.

Ten failures.

In the end, for an ordinary low-grade magic weapon, he failed ten times and spent hundreds of spirit stones to succeed once.

With a cold front hanging in front of him, Chu Mu didn't feel the slightest joy at the success after ten failures, but instead frowned.

The reason for the failure is very simple.

This step of mineral material fusion has not failed once.

The ten failures were all due to the inscriptions on the weapon pattern and the formation prohibition.

There is only one reason, that is, he is not familiar with it!

"Perhaps, in the wrong direction?"

Chu Mu combed carefully, feeling a little uncertain.

After all, in alchemy, he still has a little inheritance of precepts and deeds.

As for the refining tool, then... he is really a pure wild way.

Completely self-taught, without a shred of instruction.

That book of crafting handbooks was just narrated according to the script, without too many details at all.

While his thoughts were flowing, Chu Mu looked at the spirit mine beside him, and while picking and choosing, a piece of fiery red spirit mine was suspended above the spirit fire.

In a moment, the blazing spiritual fire melted this piece of spiritual mine!
This time, Chu Mu did not add any other spirit mines, but directly began to remove the impurities from this spirit mine.

In just a moment, a ball of red metal liquid was suspended in his hand.

During the flow of consciousness, the metallic liquid turned into a round object.

Chu Mu pondered for a moment,

With the addition of other spiritual materials, one after another vessel pattern, controlled by the divine sense, is also formed on this ball of metallic liquid.

The pattern of the utensil is very simple, there are only a few lines, which wrap the round fiery red.

The formation ban that was formed afterwards is also extremely simple.

There is only one basic ban.

In the end, the metal solidified, and a wave of aura suddenly emerged.

As the spiritual energy was absorbed and filled, the pattern on the metal ball was also faintly flickering.

Chu Mu raised his hand, and the metal ball was suspended in his hand.

The metal ellipse is surrounded by several utensil patterns, and the formation ban is hidden deep in the center of the metal ball.

At a glance, the appearance of this metal ball is not exactly the same as the grenade in the previous life, it can only be said that it is exactly the same.

And its effect is exactly the same as that of a grenade.

It is mainly cast from the first-grade low-grade flame stone. While retaining the violent flame characteristics of the flame stone, a simple energy-gathering array is inscribed.

The energy-gathering array, as long as the energy-gathering array is detonated, the weak spiritual energy it gathers will be like the propellant of a grenade, directly detonating the fire-attribute spiritual energy retained in the flame stone.

The principle is very simple, and it is also very shoddy. It can't even be called a magic weapon, it can only be said to be a gadget for refining.

If it's mighty...

With a thought in Chu Mu's mind, accompanied by a roar, the little thing suspended in the palm of his hand turned into a ball of fire.

But in the end, the flame and the exploded metal fragments seemed to be restrained by an invisible energy, like a ball of fire, still suspended in Chu Mu's palm.

In the next second, Chu Mu clenched his palm, the fire went out, and a ball of red hot metal residue fell into his hand.

"Probably equivalent to... a full-strength blow from the pinnacle of worldly vitality?"

Chu Mu frowned, as if there was a slight difference.

With such power, compared to the previous life, it is not a grenade!

When he was at the peak of his energy and blood back then, with a full blow, a boulder the size of a manhole cover could easily crush it!
Smash, not crush!

"So, it was really wrong..."

Chu Mu was a little speechless, he didn't care about this little thing, this little thing would hardly have the power to kill any immortal cultivator.

What made him speechless was that he actually wasted ten spiritual materials for nothing!
Judging from the little thing just now, he is obviously a little empirical, thinking that refining tools is the same as alchemy, and you have to start directly.

But the facts prove that this is not the case.

The weapon pattern array is complicated, so he can practice it slowly, just like this gadget, a few tool patterns, one array, and a finished product can be produced.

The left and right are nothing more than a piece of first-order low-grade mineral material.

Fortunately, he has no experience at all, so he went directly to refining the finished product...

Ten spiritual materials were wasted in vain!
Spiritual materials have to be several hundred spirits. If the refining is successful, ten low-grade magic tools will be thousands of spirits!
"stupid!"

Cursing secretly, especially seeing the accumulated metal residue, Chu Mu was even more depressed.

That's thousands of spirits!
Why not?

After a while, Chu Mu calmed down a little bit. This time, Chu Mu did not rush to refine the Changhong Sword, but combined with the ore matrix, thinking about some small gadgets, he was also familiar with the weapon pattern array.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and a pile of gadgets were piled up in front of Chu Mu.

Basically, they are all conceived and designed in previous lives, and then combined with refining techniques.

An ordinary grenade has been played by him.

Ordinary attribute spirits can attack with explosions, some use explosive metal fragments to attack, and some attack purely with forbidden formations...

Of course, the formation ban experiment combined with gadgets will inevitably fail, especially since he still focuses on such gadgets with one-time attacks.

When it fails, it's an explosion.

Fortunately, they are all small gadgets, with low technical content, and their power can't cause him any harm.

If this is the case, it must be disheartened, with metal residues all over the floor, and within the restricted area of ​​the partition, it is a mess.

Even, once his experiment was a little more complicated, he used several formations to connect, planning to make a more powerful gadget.

But in the end, if he hadn't reacted in time, the micro-partition restriction and the house would have been blown up.

Even so, Chu Mu still couldn't hide his excitement. The depression of the previous ten failures had long since disappeared.

Compared with refining the Changhong Sword, which is based on gourd painting, this feeling of thinking, designing, and refining by yourself is simply not too pleasant!
Even after more than ten days of tossing around, these gadgets are just useless things in this world of cultivating immortals.

But the finished products of these gadgets undoubtedly proved that his thinking was not wrong.

It's useless now, it's just that his background in refining techniques is not enough!

In the future, the experience of refining weapons will be accumulated, knowledge will be broadened, and useless can be piled up to be useful!

Unable to conceal his excitement, he casually put away the pile of gadgets and prepared a spiritual material for refining the Changhong Sword.

The spiritual fire that had just been extinguished was lit again.

This time, under the "Blessing of Spiritual Brilliance", the refining process was smooth and smooth from beginning to end.

About two hours later, a complete Changhong Sword was suspended in front of him.

Staring at the Changhong Sword in front of him, it seemed to be a sequela left over from the torment of the past ten days. At this moment, although he was still a novice in refining, he still couldn't help pointing at the structure of the Changhong Sword.

What will happen if the formation ban is changed, what will happen if a formation ban is added, what will happen if the direction of this pattern is changed, and what will happen if the pattern is removed...

There are many ideas, and I can't help but want to try it out.

But seeing that there was not much spiritual material left, Chu Mu forcibly suppressed this thought.

If you really want to toss, then these spiritual materials will probably be wasted!
His plan was disrupted.

Practice is a must, but don't rush it for a while. If you earn enough spirit stones, there will be plenty of opportunities.

After adjusting the breath for about half an hour, the spiritual fire was ignited, and another refining process began.

And the next ten or so days will be more than ten days of flowing clouds and flowing water.

A shaped Changhong sword was collected as a storage talisman.

And the spiritual materials piled up in the room are also being refined in this way, being consumed visibly by the naked eye...
