Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Wei Sheng, Song Yi, and Shi Yong had long since opened a separate weapon-refining room to work. Only Zhang Lingshan and Qi Shuyan were in this room. Zhang Lingshan had long since stopped refining molten metal and instead focused all his attention on Qi Shuyan's weapon-refining.

As Song Yi said, the mixed molten liquid during weapon forging is ever-changing, and it is impossible to completely replicate Qi Shuyan's ability to freely manipulate it.

but.

Zhang Lingshan possesses the power to generate countless laws.

Countless little figures within the Myriad Wonders Sect are simulating the weapon-refining techniques of the Artifact Book of Words, thereby summarizing the mysteries of the Artifact Book of Words' weapon-refining methods.

Although Qi Shuyan himself could not explain the secrets of his weapon-forging, the Myriad Methods of Derivation could help him summarize them.

As long as Zhang Lingshan can observe his weapon-forging process at all times and gain more numerical data and experience from it, he can deduce a formula.

As the numbers increased, his formula became more and more perfect, eventually approaching 100%, which was a complete replica of Qi Shuyan's weapon-refining method.

of course.

Achieving 100% is almost impossible, but if Zhang Lingshan achieves 60%, his weapon-refining skills will be considered passable.

After all, he wasn't completely without any weapon-refining skills; he had learned quite a bit from Pei Daoming and received a lot of guidance from Song Yi.

Taking into account this personal experience, and combining it with the formulas summarized from the weapon-refining books, the success rate of weapon refining can be increased to 80% or 90%.

If that's not enough, then keep summarizing.

Two months have passed, and apart from having to rest, Qi Shuyan has spent all his time refining weapons and providing Zhang Lingshan with summary data.

now.

Zhang Lingshan's success rate in weapon forging has remained at 90%, which is very stable.

Next, I either need to continue summarizing or delve deeper into my weapon-forging abilities.

Zhang Lingshan chose the latter.

This requires Wei Sheng's help.

Because Wei Sheng himself also knew how to forge weapons, he did not learn it entirely from the book on weapon crafting.

Therefore, once Zhang Lingshan learns Wei Sheng's weapon-forging experience, he will possess the weapon-forging experience of Pei Daoming, Wei Sheng, and Song Yi, plus the formulas summarized from the Book of Weapons.

In this way, it shouldn't be a problem to push the success rate of weapon forging to 99%, if not 100%.

To become a weapon refiner, one needs to refine five different third-grade magic weapons at once. Assuming a success rate of 99% per attempt, the success rate for five attempts would be 95%.

It's pretty much settled!
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan immediately told Qi Shuyan to stop and summoned Wei Sheng, as he wanted to observe Wei Sheng's weapon-forging process.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Including the two months he spent observing the weapon-making techniques in the book, Zhang Lingshan spent a full two and a half months refining no materials, devoting all his attention to observing and developing myriad methods.

In terms of time cost, I would lose at least 10,000 merit points.

Fortunately, the time was not wasted; instead, it was all transformed into valuable experience in weapon crafting.

At this moment, Zhang Lingshan was bursting with confidence. Even though he had not yet officially started refining the weapon, the little man in the Myriad Methods of Derivation had given him unparalleled confidence.

If he can't successfully change jobs now, he might as well just smash his head against the furnace and die.

"Where are Song Yi and Shi Yong? I'm about to begin refining the weapon."

Zhang Lingshan said in a deep voice.

Wei Sheng immediately summoned the two men, and then he and Qi Shuyan left the No. 19 weapon-refining room, standing outside the door, waiting for good news.

"Old Qi, do you think Brother Shan will succeed?"

Wei Sheng asked with some concern.

Because Zhang Lingshan hasn't been refining any weapons during this period, he's just been observing. Now that he's suddenly starting to formally refine weapons, can he really succeed?

"It definitely can."

Qi Shuyan said in a deep voice.

Although he wasn't entirely confident, he had to trust Zhang Lingshan's abilities, because there were very few people in this world who could command the mortal realm's ruler to obey them.

With such extraordinary talent, he should succeed at whatever he does.

A day slowly passed by.

The door to the number nineteen weapon-refining room creaked open.

When Wei Sheng saw Shi Yong open the door, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Did you fail?"

How could it be possible to successfully refine five third-grade magic weapons with different attributes in just one day?

Apart from prodigies like Qi Shuyan, no one else could do it.

Even if someone could do it, they would be a veteran weapon refiner from the third level.

It would take Wei Sheng at least two days to refine it.

Zhang Lingshan has only been learning weapon crafting for a short time, and it's already incredibly impressive that he's reached Wei Sheng's level. How could he possibly reach the same level as Qi Shuyan so quickly?

Totally impossible!
Therefore, trying to open the door within a day could only be a failure.

"No!"

Shi Yong exclaimed excitedly, "It's a success! The technique is as smooth and fluid as Master Qi's. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I never imagined that Brother Shan was such a top-notch talent in weapon crafting!"

"What!?"

Wei Sheng was stunned, completely frozen in place, unable to believe his ears.

Did it really succeed?
In just two and a half months, he was able to perfectly replicate Qi Shuyan's weapon-refining techniques with the same fluid and effortless skill.

Unbelievable!

Is this even human?
"Isn't it just standing by and watching? How could you perfectly replicate Qi Shuyan's weapon-refining skills?"

Upon hearing Shi Yong's words, Qi Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt extremely incredulous.

He had considered that Zhang Lingshan could succeed, but he never imagined that the other party could completely replicate his methods and succeed.

What kind of ability is this?

"Is it really exactly the same as my weapon-refining technique?"

Qi Shuyan couldn't help but ask.

Shi Yong said, "I can't say for sure, but it's definitely easier than what Brother Wei and Brother Song refined. It's smooth and effortless, without any stumbling or hesitation."

"Hahaha."

Then Zhang Lingshan burst into laughter: "From today onwards, I am also a distinguished weapon refiner."

That's all.

He walked out of the room, came to the third-floor stairwell, and found Zhao Chuanying.

"good."

Before Zhang Lingshan could speak, Zhao Chuanying said with a smile, "Your hard work has paid off. Hand over your identity bronze token, and I'll change your class."

"I really have to thank Steward Ying for his kind words back then."

As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he handed over the identity plaque.

Zhao Chuanying casually smeared the identity plaque, and when it was returned, the character "fire" on the plaque had changed to the character "vessel".

"Thank you, Steward Ying."

Zhang Lingshan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Zhao Chuanying said, "Alright, let's go back and refine the weapon."

"Changing your profession is only the first step. Right now, you can only refine third-grade magic weapons. Only when you refine five super first-grade magic weapons with different attributes can you be promoted to a silver-level weapon refiner and ascend to the fourth level."

"You were Pei Daoming's fire-tending boy, so you should know how difficult it is to refine this."

"It's not just that forging weapons is difficult; finding a helpful fire-starter is also tough. Now that you've become a weapon refiner, there's one less top-tier water-based fire-starter. Many weapon refiners who haven't yet forged a top-tier magic weapon are going to have a headache."

Zhao Chuanying said with a smile.

Zhang Lingshan said, "This junior understands and will definitely work hard to refine weapons, so as not to let down Steward Ying's cultivation."

What kind of guidance or training have I given you?

Zhao Chuanying waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about the secondment from the Alchemy Pavilion. They won't come after you again. Go on."

"Thank you, Steward Ying."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting, then quickly left and went back to his No. 19 weapon-refining room.

Next, it's time for the weapon refiner to start making money.

According to Song Yi, there is an upper limit to the number of times second- and third-grade magic weapons can be refined; the maximum number of refinements is one hundred.

The time spent changing to a weapon refiner is not counted in the quota.

Therefore, he could refine each of the five magic weapons—the Blue Silver Spear, the Fiery Cloud Spear, the Golden Light Sword, the Azure Cloud Staff, and the Yellow Dragon Bell—a hundred times.

A third-class magic weapon is worth 100 merit points. Five of them, used 100 times, would be worth 50,000 merit points.

If Zhang Lingshan can maintain the level of refining he can achieve during this job change assessment, he will earn 500 merit points per day.

Reaching the maximum in 100 days will earn you 50,000 merit points.

"When I was a fire-starter, I could earn 2000 merit points by refining materials for ten days straight without sleep. One hundred days would be 20,000 merit points. So, being a weapon refiner definitely pays more."

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

There are one hundred blueprints for third-class magic treasures in the three-tiered system, with twenty of each of the five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In other words, even with a limit, just refining a third-grade magic weapon can earn one million merit points.

One million merit points can be exchanged for five hundred Divine Sense Crystals.

Good guy.

No wonder Pei Daoming's divine sense is so strong; it's all from refining divine sense crystals.

Even a third-grade magic weapon can allow someone to refine so many divine thought crystals; what about second-grade and first-grade magic weapons?

"Gentlemen."

Zhang Lingshan said to Qi Shuyan, Wei Sheng, Song Yi, and Shi Yong, "Divine Sense Crystal is a good thing. It can help us with refining weapons and extracting materials. However, there is resentment in the Divine Sense Crystal, which is very troublesome and affects everyone's refining. In order to improve everyone's refining efficiency, you can come to me for help. I have a way to control the resentment."

"Yes, it was all thanks to the mountain's help that I was able to be saved after I fainted from exhaustion during the weapon forging process. Shi Yong witnessed it firsthand."

Song Yi said.

Shi Yong immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Shan has a way to break free from resentment, and he said that this method also helps him, so it's not troublesome to ask him for help. Just come and ask him for help."

"understand!"

Wei Sheng immediately declared, "I guarantee I won't bother Brother Shan and will absolutely not secretly refine the Divine Sense Crystal."

Me too.

The book emphasizes the importance of the instrument.

Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "We currently have three weapon refiners, but we're not in a hurry to apply for a weapon refining room that can accommodate three weapon refiners. Instead, we'll first help Old Song improve his divine sense and assist him in successfully changing his profession. What do you all think?"

"no problem."

Shi Yong was the first to speak up: "Brother Song's weapon-refining skills should be sufficient, but his spiritual power is insufficient. As long as he absorbs another piece of divine sense crystal, he should be able to complete the task."

Wei Sheng said, "Then let's start refining weapons to accumulate merit points and help Old Song exchange for Divine Sense Crystals. What else is there to say? It's fate that we've all come together. We must help each other to go further."

That makes sense.

Qi Shuyan nodded.

Zhang Lingshan wasn't on the second floor before, so he brought Wei Sheng to the third floor. Bringing Wei Sheng up didn't actually do him much good; in fact, it wasted a lot of his time, but he still did it anyway.

Since we've all come together, we should naturally continue on this path, regardless of gains or losses, but based on trust and friendship.

"In that case, Lao Qi and Wei Sheng, you two should each apply for a weapon-refining room, recruit two fire-tending boys, and start refining weapons. Lao Song and Shi Yong, you two can refine materials here to earn merit points."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

Song Yi asked in surprise, "Don't you need Shi Yong and me to refine the materials for you?"

"No need, I can manage on my own. If it really comes to it, then I'll ask the two of you for help."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Everyone nodded.

Then Wei Sheng and Qi Shuyan left to apply for their own weapon-refining room.

Shi Yong volunteered to help them recruit fire-tending boys.

As a veteran bronze-level pyrologist, Shi Yong still had a certain amount of influence. He quickly recruited candidates for Qi Shuyan and Wei Sheng, and also earned a referral fee in the process.

After all, being able to enter the weapon-refining room to help out and get to know a weapon refiner is a rare and wonderful opportunity for these fire-tending boys. How could they not bribe Shi Yong?

"Brother Song, you've made another fortune. Your Divine Sense Crystals will be settled soon."

Shi Yong smiled and waved his identity badge.

Song Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother."

in fact.

During the two and a half months that Qi Shuyan and Wei Sheng demonstrated weapon crafting to Zhang Lingshan, they accumulated quite a few merit points, but they all exchanged them for Immortal Spirit Pills and Flame Crystals. After all, their strength was limited, and they needed to improve quickly so that they could demonstrate more to Zhang Lingshan.

Therefore, at this time, everyone's merit points were insufficient, so they were unable to help Song Yi exchange for Divine Sense Crystals.

But it doesn't matter.

Because only two days had passed.

Zhang Lingshan and Qi Shuyan each accumulated a thousand merit points, which they used to exchange for a Divine Sense Crystal for Song Yi.

It was said to be exchanged for Song Yi.

However, Zhang Lingshan devoured 90% of the resentment that occupied the Divine Sense Crystal, leaving Song Yi with only the remaining 10%.

'Ha ha.'

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

It's a win-win situation.

He won more than others, nine times more.

As everyone exchanged for and absorbed the Divine Sense Crystals, their own divine sense was also increasing rapidly.

Thus, in less than a month...

[Spirit: Celestial Divine Consciousness (Level 4: 3000 Gai/10 Zi)]

'Based on this calculation, in another thirty months or so, my divine consciousness will be able to break through to the fifth level.'

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

In about thirty months, or roughly three years, one's mental strength can be raised to a higher level.

Now his mental strength is comparable to Pei Daoming's. If he were to improve it to the next level, even ten Pei Daomings would not be as good as him.

When the time comes, as long as my weapon-refining skills also improve, being promoted to silver medal will be a sure thing, right?
'With the existence of the Myriad Methods of Derivation, I should observe more people's weapon-forging techniques and absorb their experience. Only in this way can I accelerate the improvement of my weapon-forging abilities.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

Song Yi and Wei Sheng's weapon-refining abilities are still insufficient. If someone of Pei Daoming's caliber were to join them, their weapon-refining skills would definitely improve significantly. (End of Chapter)
