Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 76: The Garrison Office Accepts the Refining Equipment Commission
Stationed at the monk's residence.

In a narrow sense, the garrison is the place where the foundation-building monks stationed in Lan'an Market live and work.

But in fact, this is a large area, and all the official offices of the city are stationed here.

General Affairs Hall.

Lin Qianfan was looking for a suitable refining task among various refining commissions. He planned to practice with other people's commissions first, but the commissions that could be placed here were more difficult.

“The requirements are indeed quite demanding.”

Generally, when monks need magical instruments, they go directly to various stores to buy brand new ones. If they are short of money, they can also go to the second-hand market in the market to shop.

Some people with higher requirements or who bring their own materials can choose to work directly with the weapon refiner to customize magic weapons with unique needs.

However, not every custom order is accepted. Due to various reasons, they cannot find a refiner to accept the order.

If they still don't give up/increase the commission, you can go to the General Affairs Hall to post the commission, and naturally there will be half-baked equipment refiners who lack the opportunity to go on the stage to negotiate cooperation.

This kind of cooperation is very risky. One party has poor hardware and the other party lacks hard power. It depends a lot on luck for the two to get together.

[Top-grade gold wire large ring knife, compact raw materials, less commission, need to ensure structural strength...]

"This is not bad."

Lin Qianfan was not particularly anxious to use the Phantom Sword. After all, there was not much danger in the Qi Refining Stage. He wanted to use the Phantom Sword more to practice subsequent skills in case of emergency.

So he has plenty of time to slowly improve his weapon-refining skills, and weapon-refining skills are also very important to Lin Qianfan, whether it is for refining flying swords in the future or for becoming a second-level shipbuilder.

Soon Lin Qianfan met the client through the general affairs hall.

"just you?"

"It was indeed the commission I accepted!"

"Such a young, top-grade weapon refiner? Who are you trying to fool?"

When the visitor saw that Lin Qianfan was a young man, he felt that he had been cheated. It was obvious that he was here to deceive the elderly.

"This is my keepsake. I'm a shipbuilder at Zou Ji Shipyard in the North District. I'm capable of independently building many types of first-level spiritual ships, and refining high-grade magical instruments is no problem. I accepted this order simply to further refine my skills."

"But you know, the shipyard only accepts orders for shipbuilding and repairing. We don't get any suitable orders for refining equipment. Otherwise, why would I come here to accept orders? It would be a disgrace to my status."

As he spoke, Lin Qianfan also released his own aura.

Seeing that Lin Qianfan was full of confidence and had great strength despite being young, the other party began to believe him a little.

But he had worked so hard to collect these refining materials, and he only had one chance to try it. He would not be able to get them out again in a short time.

So he asked Lin Qianfan to take him to Zou Ji Boat Shop to confirm.

"also."

The shipbuilder has a great advantage in accepting this commission. The fact that the other party can make this request means that the matter has already been done.

Because the most work a shipbuilder does in the process of refining various components is processing materials (including refining), which is an area he is familiar with.

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Zou. Hehe~ I apologize for any offense I caused you earlier. Please forgive me, Master Zou." "No need to be polite. Thank you for your trust, fellow Taoist. You can come back in three days to pick it up."

"It's easy to talk about."

After confirming that the young Lin Qianfan was indeed a formal shipbuilder certified by the shipyard and had the ability to refine first-grade top-grade weapons, the man in short shirt's attitude changed greatly.

He clearly realized that Lin Qianfan was not someone he could afford to offend, even though both of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Now that he had gathered all the materials to refine the Phantom Sword and had accepted a training mission, Lin Qianfan did not rush to start. Instead, he went into the shipyard and started helping with daily tasks.

The shipyard is a place that trains people. Here, one must pay attention to work efficiency, mutual cooperation, cost control, and learning new things. However, this is Lin Qianfan's personal experience. Other apprentices who have worked for many years without learning the core skills may not think so.

This is how the world of cultivating immortals is. There are barriers to many things. If one's status and position are not high enough, it is difficult to touch them even if they are right in front of you. It is difficult for these apprentices to learn the real things without some training.

It is true that inherited things can be purchased, and if you are lucky you can even get a high-level inheritance, but who will give you the opportunity to put it into practice?
Can you accomplish anything with just a jade slip or an ancient book?

A bit too idealistic!

"Your amplification note is misspelled."

"Ah? Master Zou, please teach me!"

"The tattoo is too light. Although it's not noticeable now, it will cause problems after three to five months of installation."

"Thank you, Master Zou, for your guidance! Thank you very much. I'll try it again."

When Lin Qianfan was in a good mood, he would also say a word or two, but that was all. After all, he had no relationship with the apprentices, and he just said it out of pleasure.

Lin Qianfan, who finished work early, returned to the house and began to look through some classics that his family allowed him to bring out before he set out.

These are all things such as observations, strange stories, hearsay, and local customs and practices. They are not valuable but can enrich knowledge and are also what Lin Qianfan reads in his spare time.

sunset.

People who did not belong to the market began to be cleared out. If they wanted to stay overnight, they had to go to some shops to spend money or pay an additional spirit stone to avoid some idlers causing security problems.

"Adjusted, start refining."

Although I was using other people's materials to practice my own skills, I still had to observe the most basic professional ethics and did not take the commission lightly.

"This large golden ring knife has a simple structure and isn't difficult to refine. It just requires a powerful and heavy flying brick. The only difficulty is that it needs to be molded in one piece to ensure its structural strength."

The various ranks in the world of immortal cultivation are often not self-proclaimed by anyone, but rather perfect evaluation standards have been formed over countless years.

Therefore, even if something that seems "reckless" appears at a higher level, there is no need to doubt its rationality. It must have a reason for being able to go up there.

“I hope it will be successful this time.”

Then Lin Qianfan began to use the spiritual fire stimulated by the formation to temper multiple pieces of the same raw materials at the same time.

The difficulty in refining the Golden Wire Large Ring Knife is that all raw materials need to be melted at one time, and no separation is allowed in the middle. Otherwise, the finished product will not be strong enough and will be downgraded, and the mid-grade magic weapon will be worthless.

The difficulty of this commission lies in the fact that the amount of raw materials is very limited. If there is too much loss during the process of refining impurities and casting, the specifications and dimensions of the finished product will not meet the employer's requirements, and its value will be greatly reduced.

"The reason why others don't accept the order is probably because the ingredients are just enough. They can't steal the ingredients, right?"

After Lin Qianfan actually got his hands on it, he found that it was not difficult at all.
Part of it was due to the fact that he was originally a top-grade weapon refiner, part of it was due to the convenience of micro-control brought by his powerful soul, and the other part was due to his proficiency in weapon refinement in his previous life, and practice makes perfect.

“It went much more smoothly than I expected.”
