Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands
Chapter 731 Cheating? What does it mean to be a genius?
"What! Brother Shan has been temporarily transferred to the Alchemy Pavilion? What's going on?"
While Zhang Lingshan was refining materials to earn merit points, the four of them were walking and chatting outside when Wei Sheng heard the news and immediately exclaimed in shock.
Shi Yong said, "It is said that people who go to the Alchemy Pavilion will not be completely ruined when they return, but their overall condition will be extremely poor, and it will take many years to adjust and slowly recover. However, Brother Shan and Gu Nanxiang did not experience this situation this time. I don't know exactly what happened."
Seeing the virtuous, he immediately followed Wei Sheng's example and began to call Zhang Lingshan "Brother Shan".
"Looks like this third level isn't easy to navigate either. What if we're all seconded there too? Wouldn't that be a risk?"
Wei Sheng couldn't help but say.
Shi Yong said, "You are all weapon refiners, so you don't have this worry. Only we fire-tending boys will be seconded. That is because fire-tending is a general skill, while weapon refiners and alchemists are not."
After saying that, he couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.
Qi Shuyan suddenly realized, "Then I understand why Dashan is in such a hurry to become a weapon refiner. It seems that something happened to him at the Alchemy Pavilion, and he witnessed the danger. That's why he is determined to become a weapon refiner. In that case, we can't delay. Take me to learn about these materials and magic weapon crafting diagrams immediately. I need to familiarize myself with them as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Shi Yong immediately led the way.
The time that followed passed quickly as Qi Shuyan and Wei Sheng familiarized themselves with the materials used in weapon forging.
When they returned to Refining Room No. 19, they saw Zhang Lingshan casually open the door with a burst of energy, remaining motionless as he tirelessly refined medicinal herbs.
"As expected of Brother Shan, his refining speed is simply amazing. When will I be able to reach that level?"
Wei Sheng watched for a while and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Shi Yong said, "Brother Shan can refine materials for ten days without sleep and earn two thousand merit points at once. This is already at the top of the Fire-Tending Child, or rather, the limit. But this does not mean that Brother Shan is at his limit. It's just that the refining of materials can only reach this speed, and it can't be any faster. Even if you switch to a fourth-level silver-level Fire-Tending Child, you won't be faster than Brother Shan when you reach the third level."
"understood."
Wei Sheng nodded: "In other words, if Brother Shan, as a fire-starter, wants to earn more merit points, he can only rely on time; he can't improve his efficiency any further. So, he should become a weapon refiner. Even earning money as a fire-starter is limited by efficiency; there's really no future in it."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yong's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more.
Song Yi said, "That's not how it works. While the efficiency of a fire-starting boy in making money has its limits, he will never lose money, and his income will always be positive. But as a weapon refiner, if you fail, you will lose merit points, and your income will directly turn into a negative value. The risk is much greater, so don't take it lightly."
"rest assured."
Wei Sheng waved his hand dismissively, saying, "I've already acknowledged Lao Qi as my master. With his guidance, I definitely won't lose out."
"Is that so? Then I really want to see for myself."
A sense of curiosity also arose in Song Yi's heart.
Even with Zhang Lingshan's strength, he still longed for Qi Shuyan to come up, which shows that Qi Shuyan must have something extraordinary about him.
It remains to be seen whether his extraordinary abilities are worthy of Zhang Lingshan's high regard.
"Old Qi, you understand how to forge weapons on the third level now, right? How does it feel? Are you confident?"
While refining the ingredients, Zhang Lingshan asked questions, and in the process, he spat out a mouthful of blood into the fire.
Using Song Yi's spiritual tempering technique would cause him to cough up blood, but this blood couldn't be wasted. His blood was flames, and sending it into the fire would transform it into some of the flame's energy, saving his own strength.
Shi Yong and Song Yi were used to this, as they saw it every day and had long since become accustomed to it.
Although Song Yi felt that Zhang Lingshan's use of his mental tempering method was a bit crazy, he was powerless and couldn't control the other party, so he could only let Zhang Lingshan do as he pleased.
At this moment, Qi Shuyan and Wei Sheng were seeing it for the first time, and they were immediately shocked.
"Brother Shan, stop refining. We'll help you accumulate the merit points you're short. Your health is important. You can't be like Old Song. He's so old he doesn't look his age. You can't become like him and look so frail."
Wei Sheng looked worried and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Qi Shuyan also said, "Dashan, I've looked at the weapon refining on the third level. It's very simple. I'll start accumulating merit points for you now. You should take a rest."
"fine."
Zhang Lingshan laughed and said, "This is my cultivation method, and I'm used to it. Since you're confident, then start refining it in the main furnace next to me. Shi Yong, you can help him as his fire-tending boy. As a veteran fire craftsman, and since it's only a third-grade magic weapon, you should be able to work well with the old craftsman."
"No problem, Brother Shan, don't worry, I've got it covered!"
Shi Yong hurriedly replied, patting his chest loudly.
Of all these people, he has been in the weapon-refining pavilion the longest. He is an old fire worker. Although his abilities are not as good as Zhang Lingshan's, he is definitely reliable.
It's just refining a third-grade magic weapon; a fire craftsman like him can handle it perfectly well.
"Alright, then you can begin. Don't worry about me; I won't interfere with your weapon forging."
Zhang Lingshan said.
He can multitask, refining the artifacts himself while simultaneously studying the artifact-making manual, without neglecting either task.
We'll see if Qi Shuyan is really that talented and can succeed in one fell swoop.
"Although I am already a weapon refiner, since I am going to help Dashan successfully change his profession, I will personally experience what it feels like to refine five different magical treasures at once."
As Qi Shu spoke, he placed the identity plaque into the groove of the main furnace.
when!
The groove instantly attracted the identity plaque, and the main furnace opened its fire inlet.
Zhang Lingshan asked in surprise, "Your bronze badge status has merit points?"
"No."
Qi Shuyan asked doubtfully, "We've only just been promoted, how could we possibly have any merit points?"
"Then why didn't the bronze medal pop up? If it were us, the fire-tending boy, it would pop up directly if we didn't have 100 merit points, and we wouldn't be able to use the main furnace."
Zhang Lingshan said.
The artifact crafting manual said, "This is a special privilege we weapon refiners enjoy. We have three chances to fail at the beginning, and no merit points will be deducted."
"Damn it."
Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but mutter something.
The fire-starting boy is really not treated like a human being. Applying for a weapon-refining room is not only expensive, but you can't open the main furnace if you don't have enough merit points. You have to earn enough money with the secondary furnace before you can open it.
But weapon refiners don't have to go through all that trouble.
With such a huge gap between the two, who wouldn't want to be a weapon refiner?
Even if the risks at the Alchemy Pavilion forced me to change jobs, I would have to change jobs sooner or later anyway.
After all, one can't stay at the bottom of society forever, where they're not treated as human beings; one should strive for higher positions. "I'm going to begin."
Qi Shuyan said something to Shi Yong, and only after Shi Yong nodded and started the fire to refine the material did Qi Shuyan start the furnace to heat it up.
A third-class magic weapon is formed by condensing ten third-class materials into a liquid.
Before Shi Yong finished refining, Qi Shuyan had to keep all the molten liquid in a hot furnace until the very end before starting to fuse it.
Maintaining the state seems simple; it only requires maintaining the temperature to keep the liquid in its molten state.
However, after dozens of failures, Zhang Lingshan knew that maintaining the temperature was only the foundation. The key was that before the molten metal solidified, you had to let it flow slowly in a balanced state, and you also had to leave space and the possibility of flow for the molten metal that followed.
Without sufficient experience, it is absolutely impossible to do this easily.
Zhang Lingshan's previous failures all occurred before he could condense the essence, precisely because he was unable to maintain this equilibrium.
Now, let's see how Qi Shuyan maintains this balance.
'Um? '
Zhang Lingshan observed Qi Shuyan closely and discovered that Qi Shuyan's movements were fluid and graceful. He only needed to occasionally flick his fingers to release energy, which would make the mixed molten liquid flow obediently without disrupting the balance.
How did you do that?
Zhang Lingshan was completely baffled and couldn't help but ask, "Old Qi, with just a light stroke, you managed to maintain the stable balance of the mixed molten liquid. What kind of technique is this? Can I learn it?"
Qi Shuyan asked in surprise, "Methods? I haven't used any methods yet. I just sensed that they were about to clash and become unstable, so I gave them a little force to mediate."
"Uh."
Zhang Lingshan was speechless for a while. When he saw that Song Yi also had a surprised expression, he knew that this was not his problem, but Qi Shuyan's problem.
Wei Sheng remained relatively calm, probably because he had already witnessed the extraordinary power of Qi Shuyan on the second floor and was used to it.
"Okay, I can't learn that trick of yours. Continue."
Zhang Lingshan said.
Qi Shu said, "It's alright. When you're refining the weapon, I'll remind you when to draw a line of power, and you'll succeed."
Song Yi's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's a good idea."
Zhang Lingshan shook his head and said, "But this can only allow me to pass the job change assessment, not make me a true weapon refiner. Sooner or later I will have to have my own weapon refining techniques. Of course, on the other hand, it did solve my immediate problem."
"Congratulations, Brother Shan, you are about to pass the weapon crafting assessment."
Shi Yong echoed, although he didn't have Zhang Lingshan's ability to multitask, he could still manage to concentrate on refining third-grade materials without much trouble.
"Yes, I have to pass the weapon-refining test, but I don't feel excited at all. Instead, I feel a little disappointed."
Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but sigh.
Before witnessing Qi Shuyan's skill, he hoped that Qi Shuyan could teach him some clever tricks and tips so that he could master them all and greatly increase his success rate in refining weapons.
Who knew that while Qi Shuyan could indeed greatly increase his success rate in weapon forging, it was through his guidance and cheating.
In other words, the Refining Pavilion did not expect that someone could cheat using the method of "Weapon Book Words," otherwise they would never allow so many people to stay in the Refining Room.
'wrong.'
Zhang Lingshan suddenly had an idea and said, "I'm afraid this method won't work. Right now, you're the weapon refiner refining the weapon, so it's fine for us to be inside. We can just think of it as the weapon refiner needing a few more people to assist and replace him. But when I take the exam, the weapon refining pavilion will definitely not allow us to do this."
talking.
He looked at the door and said, "Even now, this door cannot be closed and locked, which proves this point. As long as there are more than three people, the weapon-refining room cannot be closed and must remain open. This is why, when Pei Daoming was refining weapons, only Gu Nanxiang and I assisted him, while his trusted fire craftsman Jiang Yan had to leave."
This shows that the Weapon Refining Pavilion came up with this method because they were worried about cheating.
For the Refining Pavilion, three people are enough to refine these magical treasures on the third level. There is no need for more people. Therefore, everyone is forced to form teams of three or fewer people. In short, no more than three people are allowed.
Having too many people would be a waste of manpower and resources, which is not cost-effective and would reduce the efficiency of the weapon refining pavilion.
"fine."
Qi Shu said, "You can write down all the nodes I allocate, and then allocate them as needed."
Song Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Then the allocation must be based on the real-time situation. With such ever-changing circumstances, how can we remember the specific points?"
"Yeah, this is way too difficult," Wei Sheng couldn't help but say.
Qi Shu said, "It is indeed difficult, but if you memorize it all, you won't fail in the future. Da Shan, can you do it?"
"You can give it a try."
Zhang Lingshan said, "If you remember all your allocation points, it's equivalent to replicating your refining process, and the success rate of refining will be 100%."
"Okay, so you'd better watch carefully from now on. Soon it will be a mass of molten liquid, and I'm going to solidify it into a shape."
The book of artifacts reminded me.
Zhang Lingshan slowed down his refining movements slightly and stared intently at Qi Shuyan.
Qi Shuyan then placed the last clump of molten material that Shi Yong had sent into the mixed molten liquid. He then began to rapidly swirl his hands in the air, and with each swirl, he calmed the molten liquid that was about to become agitated.
Gradually, the molten mixture changed from turbid to clear and uniform, and then it was successfully delivered into the groove by Qi Shuyan, where it was successfully formed.
"It's that simple?!"
Song Yi's mouth dropped open. This wasn't weapon forging; it was dancing! It was too artistic! Who could possibly learn such weapon forging techniques? How could Zhang Lingshan possibly remember all the key points? It was completely asking the impossible.
Wei Sheng sighed, "Every time I see a master craftsman refining weapons, it's a feast for the eyes. He's a true genius, the future head of the Weapon Refining Pavilion."
Although he exaggerated a bit, no one present refuted him.
Even an idiot would be amazed and impressed by Qi Shuyan's weapon-forging abilities.
"Brother Shan is truly blessed; even a genius like him is being put to good use, with someone willing to help him overcome the difficulties of his job transition. I definitely made the right choice in following him this time."
Shi Yong roared inwardly, thinking that this was probably the best decision he had ever made in his life.
"Such fluid and graceful movements, you are truly a born master craftsman. Practice again, I need to watch you a few more times before I can simulate your delicate and skillful movements."
Zhang Lingshan exclaimed in surprise.
Qi Shuyan nodded and said, "Yes, I can refine it as many times as you need. It'll also help us accumulate merit points." (End of Chapter)
