The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 133 Weapon Refining
Longxiang Imperial College.

It is one of only four Imperial Universities in the Jiuxiao Territory with a population of 400 million.

It ranks among the top 151 among the 50 imperial academies of the Jiuding Sect.

There are more than 500 million candidates in Jiuxiao Territory every year, but less than 5% can finally enter the four imperial academies. The rest are either willing to be ordinary people, or continue their studies in higher education institutions, waiting for the opportunity to impact the Jiuding Sect assessment before the age of .

Everyone who can enter Longxiong Imperial Academy can be called a favored child of heaven.

After graduation, 10% of them will be able to enter the Jiuding Sect and truly become the privileged class and core class among the 40 billion people of this land; the remaining % will be able to enter the energy sector and get a stable job in the Ministry of Energy.

Even the remaining 50% will flow into various sectors of society and become elites, with an annual salary often starting at one hundred thousand.

Therefore, when Yaoguang walked inside the Longxiong Imperial Academy, every young face he saw was full of confidence and infinite hope for their future life.

After asking for directions, Yaoguang arrived at a small building with only five floors and red tiles on the outside.

Red Building No. 3.

There is an electronic gate at the door that requires facial recognition.

Yaoguang contacted Professor Lin Sen, with whom he had an appointment.

Soon, the electronic gate opened and the two entered the house.

This scene made Zong Yan, who followed along, realize that Yaoguang might have known about this project for a long time.

It's not as simple as he said, "I checked it."

When I went upstairs, at the door of an office, a man who looked to be in his 40s or 50s and wearing black-framed glasses had already opened the door and was waiting.

When he saw Yaoguang's young face, he was stunned at first, but then he was not too surprised.

In the era of cultivating immortals, everything is possible.

As long as an elderly person over 60 is willing to take medicinal pills or practice beauty-enhancing exercises, he can still look like a young man in his twenties or thirties.

Therefore, they will not make the mistake of judging people by their appearance.

"Mr. Yaoguang, we have communicated with each other in the Virtual God Realm several times, and today I finally get to meet you in person. We need to have a good chat about this topic. Please come in."

Lin Sen waved his hand enthusiastically.

The office is not large.

It is only about 30 square meters, and a lot of space is filled with various materials.

These materials include paper books, but most of them are storage jade symbols that can hold information.

In addition, there are several imaging instruments placed on an electronic table engraved with array patterns.

One of the things that appeared was the shadow of a flying sword.

"This is……"

Zong Yan took a look and quickly recognized what it was: "Xianying 50?"

A product of the Feijian Department's Xian Cinema under the Jiuding Sect's Weapon Refining Hall.

It is positioned as a superior eighth-grade magical weapon, famous for its high spiritual consumption.

It is said that its overall cost-effectiveness is not as good as the seventh-order flying swords of the Immortal Alliance and the Wuji Xing Palace, and in terms of energy saving, it is even inferior to the seventh-order flying sword of the Dayi Sword Sect.

"It should be Xianying 60, but the research and development is not yet completed."

Lin Sen glanced at Zong Yan and explained.

"It seems that Professor Lin thinks the information I provided is of some use?"

Yaoguang Road.

“It’s very effective.”

Lin Sen said solemnly: "The Immortal Shadow series is one of the civilian flying swords that our Jiuding Sect has strongly supported and independently developed. The purpose is to counter the encroachment of the civilian flying sword market by forces such as the Immortal Alliance and the Wuji Xinggong... After all, everyone knows how low the cost price of flying swords is now."

At this point, he was somewhat helpless: "A flying sword without any combat capability, only one of which meets the standard of a spiritual weapon, they dare to sell it as a spiritual weapon, and mark the price at thousands of spiritual coins. Do they really think that the spiritual stones of our Jiuding Sect are blown by the wind?"

Yaoguang, who had only been here for less than a month, didn't feel much about these words.

At this time, Lin Sen seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to say these things to Yaoguang and the others.

He immediately changed his attitude and cheered up: "Although the energy plant has been moved to Jiuxiao City, the relevant research and development equipment has not been moved there. In terms of energy, our Longxiong Imperial College still has a deep foundation. Coupled with the new transmission system you sent over, Mr. Yaoguang, we are confident that we can greatly reduce the cost of spiritual energy and reduce the spiritual energy consumption of Xianying 60 from 135 to 118 per kilometers."

"And 118? It's still 18 basis points away from Cangwu's advanced level, not to mention being far ahead."

Yaoguang was a little surprised.

Things like flying swords, even those at the magical level used for transportation, often cost over a million.

Zong Yan can afford it, but it's a bit difficult.

Besides, what does it mean to consume 118 spirit points per kilometers?
One spirit stone can only provide 100 units of spiritual power.

In other words, it costs 1.18 spirit stones to fly kilometers.

The cost of using it is more expensive than the flying sword itself.

Only high-level practitioners can afford it.

"The main reason is that the time is too short and there is not enough time to conduct comprehensive tests in many aspects."

Lin Sen said.

"Mind if I see why?"

Yaoguang asked.

Lin Sen thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I need to ask Lord Yaoguang to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"it is good."

Yaoguang said.

Zong Yan immediately left the office on his own initiative.

After Yaoguang signed the confidentiality agreement, Lin Sen quickly placed a jade talisman he was carrying on the electronic table.

As the array pattern flickered, the information in the jade talisman was projected out and merged with the shadow of the flying sword that had been projected long ago.

Lin Sen stepped forward and operated on the flying sword's phantom. Under the guidance of his spiritual sense, the flying sword's phantom expanded rapidly, revealing the array structure within it.

These array structures and refining materials combine with each other to form lines with special beauty. Tens of thousands of lines spread layer by layer and finally connect to the hilt of the sword.

There, there is a place where spirit stones are placed.

Yaoguang did not look at the flying sword shadow, but glanced at the jade talisman that Lin Sen took out.

It seems that Professor Lin was well prepared.

but……

This is exactly what he wants.

At that moment, he stepped forward, and the information about [Weapon Refining] that had already reached the ninth level flashed through his mind.

It must be said that the level of refinement contained in the Immortal Shadow is very high. It's not about how many levels it has reached, but...

Ratio degree.

Just like Yaoguang's [Martial Arts] branch, theoretically, once the progress reaches 60%, it can reach the next level, and the same is true for refining equipment.

For a sword like this Immortal Shadow Sword, among the levels of refining involved, the eighth level has reached about 55%, but the seventh level has exceeded 60%, and some sixth-level levels are as high as 85%.

what does this mean?
This means that if this flying sword is sold as a sixth-order flying sword, it can reach the performance of a seventh-order flying sword and has extremely high competitiveness. Even if it is sold as a seventh-order flying sword, it has reached a qualified level.

But the materials he used and the techniques involved were all aimed at the eighth level.

"It's fine for personal use, or when the market is monopolized, it's not a big problem, but now there are too many competitors, and the price of high-quality flying swords has been completely driven down. The profit is shockingly low. If a flying sword made of eighth-grade materials is sold at the price of a sixth-grade flying sword, it will definitely lose money."

Yaoguang checked the energy system of the flying sword and kept thinking.

After spending these years in the field of animal husbandry, all of his skills have improved.

[Merchant] and [Demon Hunter] were tentatively upgraded to the fourth level.

Among them, the branch belonging to [Merchant] derives a passive secret skill - Integrity.

His long-term honest business practices in the business world have made it easier for him to gain the trust of others when conducting business talks with his partners.

As for the secret art of [Demon Hunting], it is tracking.

Using blood as a medium, a beacon is set on the "monster", which can sense the target's location even at a great distance.

Can only mark monsters.

That is, the creatures of the Moon Demon Empire.

Maybe in the future I can mark other creatures, but for now...

It feels a bit tasteless.

There is no increase in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, he gave up on upgrading these two professions to the fourth level and focused on improving the [Weapon Refining] and [Divine Way] realms.

Today, both branches have been upgraded to the ninth level, among which, the weapon refining is 71%, and the progress of the divine way, which he has focused on cultivating, has reached 96%, which is only 5 percentage points away from entering the Yuanshen realm.

71% progress...

Among the high-level weapon refiners, he is already one of the most outstanding ones.

After all, many high-level weapon refiners will start refining spiritual weapons when they reach 60% of the progress, and will no longer waste time on low-level magic weapons.

Moreover, his progress at level eight was 100%!

100% compared to 55%, the difference in technical level between the two is quite obvious.

Yaoguang looked at him for a moment and said, "Can I borrow your workbench?"

"Please."

Lin Sen said.

Yaoguang immediately copied the energy system of Xianying 60, and continued to guide, operate and repair it.

Although he focused on cultivating his body during the two years, he also advanced his spirit cultivation to the sixth level.

The sixth level of spiritual cultivation enabled him to look through the materials very efficiently.

The reason why he has not yet reached the seventh level of spirit refining is not because he cannot break through, but because he is worried about being outshined.

This involves the difference between nourishing the spirit with Qi and refining Qi to transform the spirit.

When the spiritual power is too strong, it will oppress the body, causing one's essence to gradually shift from tempering the body to refining qi and transforming the spirit.

Relying on his extraordinary state of mind, Yaoguang can suppress this situation.

But this will ultimately involve some energy.

Therefore, it is important to ensure the priority between physical training and spiritual training.

after all……

In the early stage of Spirit Refining, it is only suitable for assisting, and its combat effectiveness in frontal combat is too poor.

Furthermore, Shinto places more emphasis on realm than martial arts.

Just like Taoism and magic power.

As long as the realm is raised, the supernatural powers displayed will not be too bad, the only difference is that the endurance will be a little shorter.

……

It's getting dark.

But Lin Sen had no intention of urging him at all.

For practitioners, staying up late is very normal.

Can you be called an immortal if you don’t stay up late?

Fortunately, Yaoguang didn't make him wait too long.

When it was around nine o'clock in the evening, he quickly began to modify the virtual model.

With Wudao's hand speed and Shinto's reaction, he optimized the entire virtual model in just an hour.

"I have optimized the energy system, but a flying sword has more than just an energy system. It also has a power system, a balance system, a stability system, and so on... In order to ensure that the changes to the energy system do not affect other systems, I can only make so many changes. If I want to make further changes, I have to see all the information on 'Xianying 60'."

Yaoguang said, pressing directly on the virtual model, and said with a smile: "Let the divine cultivators who take the calculation path use the calculation power magic weapon to simulate. If nothing unexpected happens, its spiritual power consumption should drop to less than 100. Tell me the specific number when you have the result."

"Within 100!?"

Although Lin Sen expected Yaoguang to give him a surprise, he didn't expect it to be so big! ?

"Are you telling the truth? The energy consumption of an eighth-level flying sword is 100. If we can really do this, it means that our Jiuding Sect has reached the advanced level of the Cangwu Realm in the field of energy consumption of eighth-level civilian flying swords!"

"You'll know after you try it."

Yaoguang said, glancing at the completely dark sky outside: "I'm sorry to have delayed your day. I'll take my leave now."

Lin Sen quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Mr. Yaoguang came here in person, but I didn't treat you to a good meal. This is my fault. I will arrange it right away..."

"No need. I guess you want to verify this model as soon as possible, so don't worry about me. Just inform me of the results as soon as possible."

Yaoguang said with an open mind.

Lin Sen was indeed a little impatient.

After all, this problem has been bothering them for too long.

At that moment, he said apologetically: "Then... I will host a banquet for Master Yaoguang after the matter is completed. In addition, you will not be disappointed with your share of the reward."

"Then I'll wait for good news from Professor Lin."

Yaoguang nodded and turned to leave.
