Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Brother Ling, are you tired?"

In the evening, in the elegant room, Wang Xin poured the quilt tea for Zhou Ling, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness and concern.

She knew that Zhou Ling didn't like these social events.

"I'm not tired. Now that the workshop is about to start, there will definitely be a lot to do."

Zhou Ling looked at his wife's gentle and beautiful face and laughed out loud.

He took the tea cup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and said again, "I didn't expect that I would receive so many orders for weapon refining in one day."

"Next, we have to find ways to improve the efficiency of the workshop."

Now he is already a third-level weapon refiner, and even with the help of talents such as [Six Transformations] and five-color inner fire, he has been able to refine third-level mid-level treasures.

Therefore, as soon as he looks at these orders, he knows the approximate production time.

If the weapon refiner can be in place, although the speed can keep up, in his opinion, it is still a little slow.

At this moment, in his mind, he was thinking about how to speed up the work efficiency of the workshop.

A workshop, three major elements.

Earth Fire, Furnace and Weapon Master.

The earth fire in Zhoujia Workshop comes from Xuanyuan Taoist Temple and belongs to the fourth grade earth fire.

With the help of the magic circle, it is even possible to refine third-level high-grade ore.

The condensed earth fire array can maximize the use of the power of flames and speed up the refining of materials.

The stove is also extremely important.

If you have a good ground fire, but do not have a good stove to match it, the effect of making utensils will be greatly reduced.

Today, the five stoves in the workshop are all second-level high-grade stoves.

For the time being, it's enough.

As for the weapon refiners, people like Bai Ji and Master Lu are now at a very high level of weapon refinement.

"However, among the orders accepted this time, the largest ones are from several aristocratic families to expand their territories."

"And most of the treasures are still the same, such as armor, treasure arrows, etc."

"If we can refine a few puppets and turn the refining of the embryos into an assembly line, the efficiency will be greatly improved."

Zhou Ling smiled and told Wang Xin what he thought.

"assembly line?"

Wang Xin didn't understand what Zhou Ling meant and asked aloud.

"It's just some weapon refining techniques for refining puppets and unifying the ultimate move."

Zhou Ling explained with a smile.

Zhou Ling is now a second-level high-grade puppet master, and with the help of [Sixth Transformation], he can even refine third-level puppets.

And just like Sun Dajie refining and building a puppet, refining this kind of puppet is completely possible at his level.

"If we use these second-level puppets, will we consume too many spiritual stones?"

Wang Xin roughly understood what Zhou Ling meant by the assembly line.

But she also quickly grasped the key points of the issue.

Like this time when building the Zhou family, Sun Dajie controlled the puppets, which was indeed very fast, but also consumed a lot of spiritual stones every day.

"It consumes a lot of spiritual stones, but the speed will definitely be faster than that of a refiner."

Zhou Ling nodded.

He is both a weapon refiner and a puppet master, and his advantages are now revealed.

If other workshops also use puppets for production, in addition to the consumption of purchasing puppets, they will also have to hire puppet masters from time to time to maintain the puppets.

This is also a considerable expense.

In addition, the price of refining a puppet with such special attributes is not cheap.

Except that the difficulty of building is one thing.

In addition, there are construction costs, daily consumption, and subsequent maintenance expenses.

After all, the second-level puppet operates for a long time and consumes medium-grade spiritual stones.

Of course, if the quality of the puppet is not low, it will cost less than hiring a weapon refiner.

Qingyun Immortal City is a fourth-grade Immortal City, and the labor force is not low.

Even a weapon-refining apprentice's monthly salary is dozens of low-grade spiritual stones.

If you are a first-grade weapon refiner, you will need several hundred lower-grade spiritual stones.

However, the Zhou family's spiritual land now contains third-level spiritual energy. If food and accommodation are included, then the salary for hiring an weapon refiner will naturally be low.

After all, in Qingyun Immortal City, the main expense for monks is renting a house.

Even for a house with a second-level spiritual energy concentration, the monthly rent costs over a hundred spiritual stones.

But for the sake of safety, the people Zhou Ling wanted to hire would naturally choose people who knew the basics.

Moreover, with Taoist disciples as an option, there is no need to hire others from outside.

If the quality of the puppets can be ensured, using puppets to build utensils will not only improve efficiency, but also ensure quality and save costs.

Moreover, he has the talent of [Sixth Transformation], and the quality of refining the puppets is high and precise, with minimal daily consumption. As long as he has a certain level of spirituality, he does not need too much follow-up maintenance.

Of course, the cost of making such a third-level puppet is not low.

At least second-grade high-quality materials must be used.

To make the puppet spiritual, you need to use soul stones to carve soul seals.

A second-grade high-grade soul stone requires several middle-grade spiritual stones.

Coupled with other materials, creating this puppet for refining equipment requires the investment of seven or eight middle-grade spiritual stones in terms of materials alone.

If you go to the market to buy it, it will be worth at least sixteen or seven middle-grade spiritual stones.

Of course, Zhou Ling is now a heavenly guard and a Taoist teacher, so he has these two identities.

In the Tiangong Division or Taoist Temple, the price of exchanging materials is much cheaper than in the market.

"Then let's build two first and see how they work?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

After receiving these orders today, Zhou Ling also realized that if he could really use puppets to make tools, he would definitely make a lot of spiritual stones in the future.

Of course, puppets can only make tools at present, and for inscriptions, they still need the help of equipment refiners.

After all, drawing inscriptions is a complicated process and requires precise coordination of mana, soul, etc.

It is not something that low-level people can do.

Of course, if the puppet reaches a certain grade, it may be possible to do it.

However, this level of puppetry is not something Zhou Ling can master.

But there will be no problem with the processing of raw materials.

And the process is simple, which is completely capable of puppets with certain spirituality.

The main steps in the early stage of refining.

The first is the smelting and purification of metal ore.

This process mainly removes impurities and maintains the attribute substances contained in the ore.

This requires the cooperation of the refining furnace.

The second is the creation of the embryo, which is difficult.

It requires certain skills, but puppets with spirituality can basically do it.

Zhou Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about what kind of puppet to build to maximize the effect.

After all, in the current situation, two or three second-level spiritual puppets should be enough for the time being.

There is no need to build too many.

So this puppet must be comprehensive.

"Just build a puppet with five elements attributes directly!"

"In this way, there is no need to worry about the inconsistency of attributes and cause some unnecessary problems."

Zhou Ling then thought about the puppet seal he mastered.

Seeing Zhou Ling fall into deep thought, Wang Xin did not disturb him.

After a while, Zhou Ling shook his head. There was no suitable puppet seal for refining this kind of weapon puppet in the puppet seal he mastered.

However, this has no effect. There must be records of puppets with this attribute in the Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

Go and look for it tomorrow, and then exchange it for materials such as soul stones.

If this method is feasible, then there will be no worries about making money in the future.

After all, with his current reputation in Qingyun Fairy City, it is a strong appeal.

As long as it can be completed this time, there will be no need to worry about no orders in the future.

Afterwards, after chatting with Wang Xin for a while, the two went to bed.

······.

The next day, he searched in the Taoist Sutra Pavilion and found a puppet book called "Puppet Essence Source Technique".

It records the second- and third-level puppet marks.

Most of the puppets involved are very practical.

Like building puppets, refining puppets, spiritual farmer puppets, and even sword master puppets.

Zhou Ling felt like he had found a treasure when he found this "Puppet Essence Source Technique".

The person in charge of the Sutra Pavilion also told him that even in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, there are not many disciples who practice puppetry.

There are less than 30 people in the entire Taoist Academy, including the inner courtyard, who study puppetry.

After all, puppetry requires powerful soul assistance, which is an extremely unpopular technique.

There are even fewer people who can reach the second-grade puppet master.

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Zhou Ling went to the Affairs Hall and exchanged the points in his hand for two soul stones.

The five hundred points he had accumulated originally were used up by more than three hundred.

As for the materials for the puppet, he chose the second-level black iron stone obtained in the Ancient Cloud Realm.

After returning to the abode, he took out the jade slip of "Puppet Essence Source Technique", injected his consciousness into it, and began to read it.

After a long time.

Zhou Ling slowly opened his eyes and digested the many marks of "Puppet Essence Source Technique" in his mind.

It must be said that this "Puppet Essence Source Technique" is very profound.

If he had not already had the foundation of the second-level puppet technique, he would not have been able to comprehend it at all.

This time not only allowed him to master more puppet soul seals.

It also gave him a deeper understanding of soul seals, soul patterns, etc.

Among them, there is even a natal soul puppet seal.

The puppet refined by this soul puppet seal will have the attributes of a natal treasure.

It can increase its power and grade as the cultivator's cultivation level increases.

At the same time, it can also assist the cultivator in cultivation.

However, the refining of this natal soul puppet is very difficult, and it requires a certain degree of condensation of the soul.

This requires extremely powerful soul cultivation.

The soul puppet refined in this way is equivalent to one's second life.

The effect is even better than the soul treasure.

"With my current soul cultivation, with the help of the [Sixth Transformation] talent, I should be able to refine the soul puppet."

Zhou Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that there was such a good thing in "Puppet Essence Source Technique".

Of course, if you want to refine the soul puppet, you must choose the best materials.

After all, once the soul puppet is damaged, it will also have a huge impact on yourself.

After all, it has fused a wisp of soul.

This impact is even deeper than the soul treasure.

So you have to be very careful when refining the soul puppet.

However, refining the soul puppet is not the first thing now.

This time, he mainly comprehended the construction of the soul puppet seal for the casting master.

After thinking for a while in his mind, Zhou Ling took out the spirit paper, spirit pen, etc., and began to draw the soul puppet seal for the casting master.

[You are drawing the Soul Puppet Seal of the Weapon Forger, Sixth Transformation +1, Soul Puppet Seal of the Weapon Forger Reduction +2]

As the prompt appeared, Zhou Ling drew the Soul Puppet Seal of the Weapon Forger in one go.

As expected, it was not too difficult.

Then, he took out the refining furnace and materials such as black iron stone, locust wood, soul stone, etc., and prepared to start refining the puppet.

······.

Two days later.

Zhou family workshop.

"Master, can this puppet really make tools?"

Bai Ji looked at the puppet in short clothes beside him, more than half a foot tall, with a slightly dull expression and faint lines flashing on the surface of the body, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Try it and you will know!"

Zhou Ling, wearing a white robe, said with anticipation.

Song Yue, Xu Qiang and others also looked curiously.

Zhou Ling immediately opened the core area on the chest of the puppet, which is where the puppet is controlled.

There are soul stones with soul seals and grooves for placing spirit stones.

After opening it, Zhou Ling stepped forward and embedded a medium-grade spirit stone in the groove, then pinched his hands and hit it into the puppet soul stone.

The puppet immediately moved.

"Huhu!"

The lines on the body glowed with red, becoming clearer and clearer, and then dimmed.

At this time, the puppet looked lively and energetic, and its skin, as the lines disappeared, looked no different from ordinary people.

"Begin to build the Wujing sword tool!"

Zhou Ling immediately gave the puppet the first order.

"Yes, Master!"

The puppet bowed to Zhou Ling like a real person.

Afterwards, he turned around and walked to the refining furnace. After a look, he screened the materials placed on the side.

Selected several pieces of Wujing ore and put them into the refining furnace.

Then, he squatted down and started to pull the fire inlet.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a layer of rolling air waves rose in the refining furnace.

The temperature in the refining furnace continued to rise.

Zhou Ling observed the situation of the refining furnace and the puppet with his spiritual sense.

As the materials in the refining furnace gradually melted, the puppet looked focused and was carefully pulling the iron handle of the fire inlet to control the temperature of the earth fire.

As time passed, the Wujing ore in the refining furnace was constantly smelting and gradually turned into iron juice. The puppet skillfully increased the flame to remove the impurities in it.

At the same time, it also controlled the refining furnace to lock the attribute essence in the ore.

This process is almost the same as what a refiner does, and is even more sophisticated than most ordinary second-level refiners.

After an incense stick, the flames in the refinery furnace rose.

The puppet opened the outlet very skillfully, and a wave of heat swept through, raising the temperature in the workshop.

Streams of Wujing iron liquid flowed out and fell on the mold embryo, shining with dazzling light, and then continued to solidify.

"Master, this is really good!"

As the iron liquid solidified into a sword, Bai Ji came forward to check it out with a surprised look and said aloud.

"Well, the effect of this refinery puppet is better than I expected!"

Looking at the solidified sword, Zhou Ling nodded with satisfaction.

Not only is it very efficient, but the puppet can also distinguish various ores and grasp the different temperatures.

This refiner puppet seal is indeed magical.

Moreover, the spiritual stone in it is consumed very little to refine this tool.

A medium-grade spiritual stone is enough to keep it running for more than a month.

With this efficiency, it is certain that the profit generated in a month is more than one medium-grade spirit stone.

And as long as the spirit stone supply is sufficient, the puppet can operate almost all day long.

Of course, in order to reduce maintenance, it is generally impossible to operate all day long.

These benefits are much better than hiring a refiner.
