Chapter 6

Zhou Yang's enthusiasm was not hurt by the failure of the first refining, because he had never imagined that he would succeed at one time.

If you can master the art of refining utensils so well, the profession of refining utensils will not become the most popular profession in the world of cultivating immortals.

Any weapon refiner, even the most talented one, can't succeed at the first time.

Most weapon refiners have a little talent for refining tools, and then accumulate their skills by relying on countless materials.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, there are few tool refiners and alchemists in the scattered cultivation without schools and families, because they simply can't afford the wasted materials and money needed to learn these two skills.

Even if the Zhou family, which has foundation building monks, wants to cultivate a second-class tool refiner who can really make money, it is very difficult. We must select gifted children and invest a lot of money.

Before Zhou Yang, there were many "Xuan" generation friars in the Zhou family who studied weapon refining, but only his seventh uncle Zhou xuanlin was reluctantly promoted to a second-class weapon refiner, which was cultivated under the guidance of Zhou Minghan, a third-class weapon refiner, and after smashing thousands of spirit stones.

However, the limit of friars in the Qi training period is the second-order weapon refiner. If you want to become a third-order weapon refiner, you must first become a friar in the foundation period.

Therefore, Zhou Minghan said that he hoped Zhou Yang could inherit his weapon refining skill. The underlying meaning was that he hoped he could build a foundation successfully.

As long as he can build the foundation successfully and show a little talent for refining tools, even if he smashes it with a spirit stone, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-class tool refiner!

Of course, Zhou Yang didn't know about this. He just felt that the refining materials were hard won and a pity to waste. Therefore, he didn't rush to try again immediately after the failure. Instead, he cleaned up the waste in the tripod and carefully summarized the experience and lessons.

When he felt certain, he began a new attempt again.

Such failure, summary, failure again, summary again

After seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining a finished product [green sword], and officially became a first-class tool refiner.

With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate is much better when he refines the ware later. Basically, he can succeed once after ten times.

After hundreds of times of refining and controlling the success rate to two tenths, he stopped refining the first-order magic instrument [green blade] and changed to refining another first-order magic instrument [flame knife].

The first-order magic weapon [flame knife] is also made of refined iron, but at the same time, it needs to be mixed with two tenths of the fire attribute spirit gold and red copper. After the magic weapon is practiced, the monk of congenital environment will inject congenital Qi with the magic weapon, which can stimulate the flame to adhere to the knife and cause burning damage to the enemy, and can also deal with some ghosts that can't be attacked by simple physical attack.

The refining process of [flame blade] is roughly the same as that of [green blade sword]. The difference is that when refining [flame blade], the prohibition placed in the blade body is not [sharp edge], but [flame].

Although Zhou Yang had a successful experience in refining [green blade], he failed to refine [flame blade] for the first time.

However, he summed up the experience of failure. He was lucky to succeed the second time, and then after dozens of refining, he successfully controlled the refining success rate of [flame knife] above 20%.

At this time, the old patriarch gave him a lot of basic refining materials, but he didn't continue refining. Instead, he handed over the finished magic tools he refined, the refining experience he summarized when refining, and the letters he wrote to his parents to the peer family friar Zhou Qi who came to collect the refined iron ore, Please take it back to the family, give it to the old patriarch and hand it over to his parents who are far away.

Zhou Qi ranks third among the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family. His parents are ordinary mortals. He is 32 years old this year. However, because the quality of Linggen is only inferior, he has reached the third level of Qi practice only when his cultivation is worthy. There is no hope to build a foundation in this life.

When he heard that Zhou Yang had become a first-class tool refiner, he was naturally surprised. Then he took the things with joy and nodded hard: "don't worry, Ninth brother. I will bring the things and letters to the old patriarch, uncle and aunt."

After that, he paused, but with a serious and sincere look, politely told him, "but you should also practice well and don't focus on refining tools. You are the hope of the whole Zhou family. The elders and our brothers and sisters all expect you to build a foundation and successfully lead the Zhou family to continue!"

"What the third brother said is that I will practice hard and never let my elders down!" Zhou Yang nodded and replied with a positive face.

"Just know what you know. I'll go first."

Watching the family brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang restored the array as it was. He closed the door and looked at the long letter that his parents entrusted the family brother to bring him.

Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, devoted himself to practice in his early years. He didn't listen to the family elders' advice to get a wife and have children until he found that he had no hope of building a foundation at the age of 60.

At that time, his mother Lin Yuting was chased and killed by his enemies and fled to the oasis of Yuquan lake. They were saved by him. Therefore, they became husband and wife, and then gave birth to Zhou Yang in a few years.

Because they were both immortals, the first child was lucky enough to detect medium-quality spiritual roots. From then on, Zhou Yang became the heart of the parents. He was really afraid of breaking in the palm of his hand and melting in his mouth.

It is precisely because of the meticulous love of his parents since childhood that Zhou Yang, who has a memory of his previous life for 20 or 30 years, slowly put down everything in his previous life, accepted and recognized his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognized the whole Zhou family.

In order to make this son go further than themselves in practice, Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting did not have any other children since then, and devoted all their energy to earning spirit stones and taking care of Zhou Yang.

Later, when they found that Zhou Yang had the talent of early wisdom and could take care of themselves, the couple handed him over to the elders of the family to take care of him. Then they sat in a shop opened by the family in a xiuxianfang city all year round and used their own alchemy and wine making skills to earn spiritual stones for the family and their son.

As a "passer-by", Zhou Yang understands the ideas of Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting.

Just as his parents in his last life left his hometown to work in the city at a young age in order to provide him with education, what Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting do now is also for him to build a foundation and go further on the road of practice in the future.

So he never resented seeing his parents all the year round. Instead, he wrote many letters to his parents from the elders of the trust family every year, telling them about his usual life experience. He knew that these seemingly boring things were what his parents wanted to see most.

"Yang'er, Qingping mountain is far away from the family. You must think twice before you do anything. Everything is mainly to protect yourself..."

"Son, mom, the restaurant business here is getting better and better recently. This is driven by the ideas you gave mom last time. My son is indeed a genius. He will become a friar in the foundation period in the future. No, he will become the ancestor of the golden elixir period!"

Zhou Yang looked at the letter written to him by his parents word by word. His face was full of sincere smiles. A simple letter from his parents was far more useful for his encouragement than thousands of words from others.

After reading the whole letter, he carefully put away the letter paper and whispered to himself, "there are two years left. When I finish the garrison task for the remaining two years, I will go home and prepare to break through the seventh floor of Qi training. As long as I break through the seventh floor of Qi training and promote to the later stage of Qi training, I will apply to the old clan leader to garrison in the square city, and then our family can be reunited!"

On the other hand, when Zhou Qi returned to the family with the magic tools and experience refined by Zhou Yang and handed them to the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan immediately attached great importance to it.

He personally checked the magic tools made by Zhou Yang one by one, pointed out the shortcomings and gave suggestions for improvement, and answered the questions recorded by Zhou Yang on the experience of refining tools one by one. Then he asked a family elder of the "light" generation to come and send some higher-level materials and experience of refining tools to Zhou Yang.

"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, you are really striving for success. I've lived for hundreds of years. I'm so happy to see the old patriarch for the first time and pay so much attention to a younger generation. Now the name of Qilin son in your family has spread all over the family this week. Even those people in the secular world are talking about your deeds!"

The old man of the "light" generation of the Zhou family, who is responsible for delivering things to Zhou Yang, is named Zhou Quan. He ranks third among his peers and is the second of the eight elders of the Zhou family.

The old man is 112 years old and is very close to the life limit of the friar during the Qi training period. This time, if Zhou Minghan hadn't personally ordered him to go by name, no one in the family would dare to disturb the old man who was about to sit down.

"It's a sin for Grandpa Lao San to come here. It's a sin!"

Zhou Yang looked at the old man who smiled and his mouth leaked. He was moved and sighed secretly at the same time.

He knew that the old patriarch would never have let Zhou Quan, an old man who was about to sit down, come here unless all the friars in the family had their own tasks in the later stage of Qi practice.

The arrival of Zhou Quan not only showed that the old patriarch and the family valued him, but also exposed the family's lack of available manpower.

"Hehe, I'm old. It doesn't matter if I sit down tomorrow. If I can see an outstanding younger generation like you in the family before sitting down, I'll die in peace!"

Old man Zhou Quan smiled happily and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder to show his closeness, but he had long been indifferent to life and death.

But he said so. After the next second, he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "it's a pity, it's a pity that I can't wait for the day you build the foundation, otherwise I will go to the yellow spring after my death and have the face to see the ancestors of Yuquan!"

Zhou Yang was silent and his heart became heavy.

Over the past 100 years, several generations of friars of the Zhou family have been stuck in building the foundation, so that old people like Zhou Quan have a deep obsession in their hearts. The only obsession in their hearts is to see another friar in the foundation period of the Zhou family in their lifetime to replace the old patriarch to guard the family.

His father, Zhou Xuanhao, actually had this obsession. Otherwise, he would not try his best to earn spiritual stones outside to prepare for his foundation in the future.

While Zhou Yang was thinking about how to break this heavy atmosphere, a fire suddenly passed through the sea of clouds outside Qingping mountain and fell in front of him, from which came the voice of extreme panic of the manager of the refined iron mine outside last week: "immortal master, help, there are powerful monsters attacking the mine cave!"
