"Congratulations, senior, for advancing to the Dao realm!" Yang Junshan heartily congratulated the person in front of him.
Taoist Babao smiled bitterly and said: "Little friend Junshan, your congratulations are so heavy on my back. Shouldn't I also congratulate you now that you have advanced to the Taoist realm at a young age and have a bright future? I am ashamed of myself." ah?"
After saying that, Master Babao laughed first, and Yang Junshan also laughed sheepishly.
In the oven, Yang Junshan visited the Eight Treasures Taoist who had just left seclusion and successfully advanced to the Taoist realm.
Last time, Yang Junshan learned from the mouth of Zhenren Jiang Xin that the Eight Treasures Taoist had advanced to the Tao Realm. However, due to the turmoil in the Central Earth Immortal Palace, Yang Junshan felt guilty and left first with an excuse.
Now that the weapon was sleeping in his Dantian, Yang Junshan no longer had to worry about it causing large-scale turmoil in the Immortal Palace, so he made a special trip to visit him.
Hearing this, Yang Junshan smiled bitterly and said: "It's embarrassing to say that I originally broke through the bottleneck of the Taoist level with the help of the Qingling Gourd. Compared with the seniors who break through the Taoist realm step by step, I am still frivolous after all." many."
Taoist Babao chuckled and said: "A newcomer to the Taoist realm with little knowledge can easily beat an experienced Taoist ancestor to death? What's more, this person is also a formation master!"
Yang Junshan said with embarrassment: "Senior is ridiculous. The success of this Dao formation of this junior was due to the help of many senior Dao ancestors. How can it be compared with the seniors? The seniors were known as the 'Eight Treasures' long before the Dao realm. Now they have advanced to the Dao realm." I’m afraid he’s already at the level of a great master of weapon refining.”
Taoist Babao pointed at Yang Junshan and laughed and said, "They say that you, Yang Junshan, are usually a bit too modest. But it is true when I see you today!"
Seeing Yang Junshan's astonished expression, Master Babao smiled even more on his face and said: "There are not thirty weapon refining masters in this world of cultivation, but at least twenty. But what about the formation masters? The number is probably even a slap in the face. Even if their skills are similar, the status of the Formation Master is much higher than that of the Weapon Refining Master. What's more, the Weapon Refining Master can only refine treasures, but the Formation Master has the ability to independently construct a Dao formation. How can the two be the same?"
In the world of cultivation, when it comes to judging the level of the various arts of cultivation, in addition to weapon refining, the names of the various stages of other skills are actually consistent with the classification of monks' cultivation levels. For example, an alchemist can refine a pill for a martial artist to take. The elixir over there is the spiritual elixir. Refining the elixir is suitable for most real people. Only those who have refined the elixir of the Dao level can be called an alchemy master. The same is true for the evaluation criteria of the formation master.
However, in comparison, the standards for a weapon refiner are much lower. Often, someone who can refine a magical weapon can be called a weapon refiner, and someone who can refine a spiritual weapon can be called a master. It's just a treasure weapon that was refined.
This division of weapon refiners, on the one hand, illustrates the relative difficulty of weapon refiners, but on the other hand, it also makes weapon refiners slightly inferior to other cultivators of the same level who practice all kinds of arts. For example, the master of weapon refiners is compared to The status of the alchemy master is often slightly inferior, but much higher than that of the alchemy master; the status of the weapon refining master is also inferior to that of the formation master, but it is far more respected than the formation master; and a Tao realm master At least one must independently complete the layout of a Dao-level formation. An array master who can independently refine a Dao weapon can be called a "Grand Master".
Taoist Babao continued: "I'm afraid you don't even know the sensation it caused in the cultivation world after the Five Elements Thunder Formation was completed, right? In comparison, when you first entered the Taoist realm and defeated Taoist Xuanyuan, it was nothing. Nothing serious."
"Um," Yang Junshan blinked in confusion and asked, "But what news did Senior hear in the Immortal Palace?"
Taoist Babao nodded and said: "Recently, many forces have been secretly collecting information about you, especially about your identity as a Formation Master. These forces may not be malicious towards you, but there is no harm in being careful."
"Thank you, senior, for informing this junior." Yang Junshan solemnly thanked Taoist Babao.
Taoist Babao waved his hand and said, "I wonder why my little friend is looking for me this time?"
Yang Junshan smiled slightly and stretched out his hand. There was already a three-inch square tiger head jade seal in his palm, and said: "This time, I have come with a request. This is my natal magic weapon. I want to use my senior's magic to improve my quality."
Taoist Babao just glanced at Shan Junxi and praised: "What a treasure. Whether it is quality and foundation, or true energy nourishment, it is the best choice. I'm afraid you don't have the foundation to be promoted to a Taoist weapon."
Yang Junshan secretly marveled at the eyes of Taoist Babao.
Guang, with just one glance, was able to find out the details of Shanjunxi, but he still handed over Shanjunxi to Ba Bao Taoist.
Taoist Babao obviously had the secret technique to detect the magic weapon itself. He just held the Tiger Seal with both hands, and then began to close his eyes and meditate. After about a cup of tea, he slowly opened his eyes. Eyes, said: "This magic weapon is very good. Although it has been improved several times, it has obviously passed through the hands of only two people. The first person should be the person who refined the initial embryo of this magic weapon. Although the technique is a bit immature, But it is better because of the exquisite inheritance and the profound talent in the art of weapon refining. In addition, the quality of the spiritual materials used every time is extremely exquisite, which lays the foundation of the magic weapon very thickly; the second person who handles it should not only be one person, but two or three people who work together. , although the refining talent is not as good as the former, but it is better than the skill of skill. The refining process is a little rough, but it is better because of the full heat. It should be made with the help of extremely high-quality earth fire vein essence. "
Yang Junshan was already astonished at the side. Just holding the magic weapon in his hand for a moment, he was able to completely retell the process of Shan Junxi's ascension, as if he had refined the magic weapon himself.
Seeing Yang Junshan's dumbfounded expression, Taoist Babao didn't take it seriously. He had seen similar situations more than once and was already used to it. In the process of improving the quality of the magic weapon, if there is no systematic and clear understanding of the foundation of the magic weapon, Understand that just blindly improving the quality of the magic weapon will not only greatly increase the failure rate during the improvement process, but also weaken the foundation of the magic weapon to continue to improve in the future.
"Then what are you going to do next, little friend Junshan? Upgrade this magic weapon to a top-grade treasure? This is not a difficult task. Your magic weapon is very warm and nourished, and the spirit of the weapon is extremely high. It can be easily upgraded to The treasure is of the highest quality, but to be cautious, I still need to check the quality of the spiritual materials you have prepared."
Taoist Babao's expression and temperament had already changed drastically at this time. Before he came into contact with Yang Junshan's treasure, he was clearly just a humble and gentle person. But after he began to discuss matters related to refining the weapon, his whole person changed from the inside out. There is an air of absolute self-confidence on the outside, although not sharp, and every word has a charm that makes people believe.
But this time, Yang Junshan clearly exceeded his expectations: "Senior, what if we directly upgrade it to a Taoist weapon?"
"What?"
Taoist Babao was slightly startled, turned his head to look at Yang Junshan, and confirmed again: "Taoist weapon?"
Yang Junshan stared at him and nodded, "Yes, it's a Taoist weapon!"
Taoist Babao looked hesitant, but he grasped the Tiger Seal that was originally in his palm, and said with a wry smile: "Little friend, please don't embarrass me. I think that my weapon refining skills are second to none among the masters." The top level, but after all, I need to be promoted to a Taoist weapon, and I am not yet a great master."
Yang Junshan clearly saw a flicker of enthusiasm in Taoist Babao's eyes, and immediately said: "But this junior's magic weapon does not have the foundation to be promoted to a Taoist weapon?"
Master Ba Bao Taoist hesitated for a moment and said: "My little friend's magic weapon is very well maintained and the spirit of the weapon is full. It is indeed possible to be promoted to a Taoist weapon."
Yang Junshan said again: "But the seniors don't have the inheritance to refine Taoist weapons?"
"Of course there is!"
"Then the senior has never participated in the refining of Taoist weapons?"
Taoist Babao said solemnly: "I have participated in the refining of Taoist tools at least three times. Once it failed, once it was successful, and once it is unknown. However, the possibility of success is higher. It may take several years of polishing and tempering to know the result."
Naturally, the refining of Taoist weapons cannot be accomplished overnight. It can take at least three to five years of careful handling, and it can take up to decades or even hundreds of years. It is not uncommon.
Whether it is a Dao weapon or a Dao formation, it does not mean that only the formation master can arrange it. Only the weapon refining master can refine it. Although the cultivation world is large, the formation masters do not exceed the number of five fingers, and the number of the weapon refining masters is not more than that. In this way, if the refining of Taoist weapons or the layout of Taoist formations must be done by these people, then even if they have three heads and six arms, they cannot do it.
In fact, most of the Taoist tools and Taoist formations in the cultivation world are not produced by these people alone, but are often created by the collective efforts of multiple weapon refining masters or formation masters. The great weapon refining masters and formation masters and their The difference is that the latter can independently complete the refining and arrangement of Tao tools or Tao arrays by themselves, while the former often has to be cautious because they do not have the ability to monopolize the overall situation, for fear of losing tacit understanding in cooperation, even though The polishing of certain details is even better than that of a formation master or a weapon refining master.
teacher, but it often takes much longer.
