If Yang Qi had not personally experienced the test of the Yaoguang Realm, he might have simply thought that Emperor Yaoguang was a strange man who acted peculiarly. But after personally experiencing the test of the Yaoguang Realm, Yang Qi had a vague feeling in his heart that Emperor Yaoguang left behind the Yaoguang Realm for more than just a simple inheritance!
Although Yang Qi had some guesses in his mind, these guesses could not be confirmed. After all, the true intentions of Emperor Yaoguang were probably only known to him.
Shaking his head slightly, Yang Qi stopped thinking about it and his eyes fell on the huge furnace. According to the records on the furnace, this test was the same as he had guessed before, which was refining equipment!
Although it was a weapon refining, it was different from ordinary weapon refining. Ordinary weapon cultivators would also use furnaces to assist in refining weapons, but they usually used formations and energy to drive them. But the furnace in front of him was different. The furnace in front of him was like an ordinary furnace. It needed special fuel to ignite the spiritual fire for refining weapons!
Unlike ordinary stoves, the fuel used in this stove is spirit wine! That's right, wine is used as fuel!
"Are these the materials and spirit wine for refining?" Yang Qi searched around the stove and immediately found a storage ring. Inside the ring were materials for refining, spirit wine as fuel, and even materials for quenching.
The materials in the entire storage ring are all prepared for refining weapons, which are completely sufficient for a cultivator to refine a weapon.
Yang Qi looked at the refining materials and couldn't help muttering, "The refining materials are not bad. The final requirement is just to surpass ordinary Taoist soldiers and reach the level of low-grade Taoist soldiers. It's not too difficult."
If Yang Qi wanted to refine a weapon close to the level of a mid-grade Daoist weapon, or even a mid-grade Daoist weapon, it would be difficult for him to do so with his current strength, after all, he was not good at refining weapons. If he only relied on his own realm and Dao to refine weapons, coupled with precious refining materials, the Daoist weapons he refined would naturally not be very precious.
Although the difficulty of refining the weapon does not seem to be too great, Yang Qi did not dare to be careless, because he only had one chance. If he could not produce a low-grade Taoist weapon that reached the fine level, he would have failed this test!
Thinking of this, Yang Qi was not in a hurry to refine the weapon. Instead, he recalled some inherited memories about refining the weapon in his mind to increase his chances of success in refining the weapon.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, half a day had passed. Yang Qi was familiarizing himself with the equipment refining techniques and skills in the inherited memory. When he was almost familiar with everything, he set his eyes on the furnace.
The weapon refining test left by Emperor Yaoguang is different from ordinary weapon refining. The whole process requires the use of spirit wine. It can be said that the spirit wine itself has become a weapon refining material. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to simply use normal weapon refining techniques to carry out this test, otherwise the possibility of failure is very high.
After carefully observing the furnace and the spirit wine in the storage ring, Yang Qi had an idea of the refining process this time. He immediately moved his hands and poured all the spirit wine used as fuel into the furnace.
As the aroma of the spiritual wine spread, Yang Qi couldn't help swallowing. Apparently, the spiritual wine used as fuel was also an extremely precious spiritual wine, otherwise it would not have caused such a reaction from a Martial Emperor Realm practitioner.
Looking at the blue-green liquor in the stove, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that these spirit liquors are used as fuel, otherwise I could give it a try."
Spirit wine is used to refine weapons. If it is drunk, it may not be enough to refine Taoist weapons. Naturally, Yang Qi did not dare to try it casually. After all, compared with wine, he values swords more.
Wow~
With a thought, a stream of energy was injected into the furnace's formation. In an instant, a strong power emanated from the furnace, and a hot wave of air spread out. The aroma of wine in the air became stronger and stronger. Perhaps because of the burning, the aroma of the spirit wine was actually a little different from before.
“Good wine!”
Looking at the faint blue flames burning on the stove, Yang Qi couldn't help but admire it sincerely.
As the smell of burning alcohol entered his body, Yang Qi suddenly felt that the air, which had been getting hotter and hotter as the stove heated up, suddenly felt a little refreshing. Instead of feeling the slightest discomfort, he felt his blood boiling.
"No wonder spiritual wine is used as fuel. This spiritual wine actually has such an effect. It can help practitioners withstand high temperatures and also restore some of the energy they have consumed."
Carefully feeling the changes in himself, Yang Qi knew that this spiritual wine was not just a fuel, but a treasure that assisted in refining equipment. During the refining process, he was facing the furnace all the time, and with the help of the escaping wine vapor, he could greatly reduce his own consumption.
Tsk~tsk~
Yang Qi's mind moved, and he threw the refining materials into the dark blue flame. The most boring part of the refining process is tempering these refining materials, and the tempering of the refining materials is also directly related to the quality of the Taoist weapons that are finally refined.
As time went by, Yang Qi spent more than half a year just to melt and temper the refining materials. This was because the refining materials in his hands did not require too much fine tempering. If it were an ordinary Taoist soldier, it would be very normal to spend decades or even hundreds of years tempering the refining materials.
After tempering the refining materials, it is time to forge the embryo. Yang Qi is naturally refining a sword, so he needs to forge a sword embryo. During the forging process, Yang Qi also directly integrates his own Tao into it. Originally, the process of refining a weapon requires carving Tao patterns, but that is for other practitioners. After reaching the King of Martial Arts, practitioners only need to refine Tao weapons that match themselves. They only need to integrate their own Tao power into the Tao weapons during the refining process.
This refining method itself is very crude, and basically only some practitioners who have just come into contact with the Dao of Weapons will do this. However, Yang Qi himself does not intend to follow the path of refining weapons, so there is naturally no need to delve into the matter of refining weapon embryos. As Yang Qi continued to draw on his own power of Tao, a long sword continued to take shape under his forging, and the fiery red sword body faintly exuded a sharp power. Although the sword embryo is only an unfinished Dao weapon, the powerful sword embryo still has the power of an ordinary Dao weapon, just like the sword embryo of the source weapon Yang Qi obtained in the Tianhuang Holy Land before.
Of course, the sword embryo in Yang Qi's hand could not be compared with the source divine weapon, but the power it exuded was stronger than that of ordinary pseudo-Tao weapons. With such a powerful sword embryo, as long as nothing unexpected happened, once it was refined into a weapon, it would definitely reach the level of a Tao weapon.
Although the Dao weapon is certain to be completed, it is not enough for Yang Qi to pass the test in front of him, because he must refine a lower-grade Dao weapon of the fine level to pass the weapon refining test left by Emperor Yaoguang. Therefore, when forging the sword embryo, Yang Qi was extremely careful, after all, the foundation of a Dao weapon is determined by the weapon embryo! (To be continued)
