Rune Master

Jing Chen and Ling Yi looked at each other, put on their coats and went to open the door.

The person who came was Fu Lin. Seeing that everyone inside was awake, he was not surprised. He said with a smile, "I guess you were also awakened by the movement of the sea cliff shark."

Jingchen nodded, his eyes were a little erratic. In fact, they just fell asleep after doing something impure. I'm really embarrassed to say such a thing.

"Sea Cliff Sharks, what are they doing?" Ling Yi asked, and timely relieved Jing Chen's thin skin.

Fu Lin said, "I forgot to tell you before, but now I'm here to talk about it."

"There are lion snails hidden under the cliff, and the sea cliff shark hits the cliff with its head in order to shake out the lion snails inside, so at ordinary times, at this point every night, there will be a knocking sound when the tide rises. "Fu Lin paused and continued, "You don't have to worry about the cliff being knocked away, it's just that the sound is a bit noisy."

It's more than noisy.Jing Chen thought to himself, such a clear "dong dong" sound was transmitted through the stone wall intact, as if the whole room was a bell, and someone was ringing the bell outside. If a person lives in it for a long time, his nerves will not collapse.

"You live in this kind of place every night?" Jing Chen looked at Fu Lin quite sympathetically. During the day, he vomited to death from seasickness, and at night he was disturbed so much that he couldn't sleep well. Is this still a life for a person, no wonder he is so thin.

"I live here occasionally when I'm in business, because life forces me to." Fu Lin smiled nonchalantly, "We're all used to it, like the more expensive dealers, we just walk on the cable bridge."

"It's not like us, in order to save thousands of talisman masters go up and down mountains and across the sea every day." Fu Lin sighed for a while.

"Thousands of dollars?" Jing Chen asked strangely, "Isn't the cost of crossing the cable bridge a hundred runestones?" I remember Huo Zhiyou said that, and he was surprised at the beginning.

"100 yuan is the base price for queuing." Fu Lin explained, "There are people who specialize in queuing up, and then sell the queuing space. If you want to go back and forth on the same day, you need [-] runestones per person."

Jingchen suddenly realized that there is no shortage of scalpers anywhere.

However, the cable bridge saves at least one day, and the safety factor is relatively high. The key is that you don’t have to be woken up by sea cliff sharks looking for food in the middle of the night.

"Stop talking." Fu Lin said, "I'll go to the next door and tell Brother Huo, so that he won't be worried all night."

After closing the door, Jingchen set up a reverse concealment formation beside the bed, which can prevent the outside sound from coming in - the world is clean.

See, being proficient in formations or something is still very useful sometimes.

"You should be lucky to have married such a versatile and virtuous me." Jing Chen patted Ling Yi on the shoulder, and said on a whim, "I pressed three fried small yellow croakers, and Xiao Huozi was definitely not disturbed by the sound. Even if Fu Lin goes to knock on the door later, he won't be able to wake him up."

Ling Yi looked at the roof and turned over. He was used to Jing Chen's convulsions from time to time, anyway, he would do the frying of small yellow croakers.

In the early morning of the next day, when Huo Zhiyou appeared in front of the crowd, he was really in high spirits, and he didn't look like he lacked sleep at all.

Jing Chen secretly played tricks on Ling Yi, look, I won.

Ling Yi, "..."

"I said, do you know that you can cross the bridge directly by paying two thousand runestones?" Jing Chen looked up at Huo Zhiyou.

They were sitting at the tea stall at the gate of Yadong eating breakfast at this time. This tea stall was there yesterday, but it was closed because it was too late, so they didn't meet them.

Huo Zhiyou took a bite of the bun, "I know, what's wrong?"

"You know?!" Jing Chen gritted his teeth, "Do you know that because you didn't report your knowledge, we wasted a day for nothing, and Lingling's medicine was delayed for another day. Guess I told Qingshuang, she will I won't take you with me when I'm shopping, and let you carry your luggage behind me!"

Huo Zhi grew his mouth, and the bun fell on the table.

Ling Yi, "..." Drinking tea silently without speaking.

Fu Lin's gaze swiveled between the two of them, and he couldn't sort out the cause and effect for a long time, when he heard Huo Zhiyou scream, "It's so serious!"

Fu Lin, "..." What's so serious? !

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Didn't I just want to save money? Two thousand for one person, and six thousand runestones for three! Oh, that's right." Huo Zhiyou thought of something, and said, "When we arrive at Lijin Island, we still have to pay for it." I have to buy a protective plate, and the person from Lijin Island told me that the plates on each island are different and cannot be used universally.”

Jingchen gritted his teeth secretly, talking about this made him even angrier, why didn't you see that you thought it was expensive when he bought the protection card, "Get lost!"

After breakfast, we continued on our way. It was nearly noon, and a group of four people successfully climbed to the summit and arrived at Lijin Island.

Although it is only a strait away from Golden Island, there are subtle differences in style. As far as the casual movements of the civilians are less restrained, the management is obviously better than that of the previous island.

Lijin Island has two main cities, one is not far from the cable bridge, and the other is at the end of the cable bridge leading to Chijin Island. The rest of the area is mostly occupied by Lijin mines, and the center is also a mining area.

Fu Lin led the three of them to find the most cost-effective inn, which was clean and quiet, not far from the downtown area, just around the corner, and the best thing was that there was an Artifact Master Alliance nearby, where you could rent very good refining tools room, Jing Chen couldn't help but sigh, the favor of that bottle of "Fengyoujing" was worth it.

In order to avoid being tricked by Huo Zhiyou again, Ling Yi went out to find out the news in person.

The main thing is to find out where the mist grass that Jing Chen needs is, and then how to get to the cable bridge where Lijin Island and Chijin Island intersect as quickly as possible, because the area of ​​this island is three times larger than Lijin Island It is also the largest of the three islands, and it is difficult to find the way.

Jingchen sorted out the things in the storage ring, and went out, taking a few steps to reach the Alliance of Qifu Masters.

"Rent a refining room?" The steward looked Jing Chen up and down, seeing that his cultivation base was only one star, and kindly reminded, "For apprentices, you can rent a temporary furnace, and the price is much cheaper."

The refining alliance is divided into five floors, the first floor is for the reception and the business of talisman trading, the second floor is an open-air refining field, and the third floor and above are separate refining rooms, which are generally used by refining masters with some ability and financial resources.

The temporary furnace mentioned by the steward is in the refinery, where many people are crowded into a large room where they can observe each other and learn from each other, which is very suitable for apprentices who are just getting started.

Jing Chen shook his head, "I want a separate refining room, the price is not a problem." He has never seen the refining techniques in this world, and it seems to be different from his own. To avoid trouble, a little expense is nothing .

The steward saw that there was no one in the room, so he lowered his head and scanned the usage form of the refining room, took down a door number, and said, "The refining is charged by the hour, eighty runestones per hour, and a ten-hour deposit is required, because Recently, the talisman master exam is coming up, and there is a shortage of smiths, and each person can only rent for five hours a day, so what you have to pay is [-] runestones, of course, if the time is not used up, you can come and return the runestones."

Four hundred runestones, Jingchen was stunned, it was indeed expensive enough, converted into gold, it could cover the expenses of a middle-income civilian family for nearly ten years.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, refining tools and alchemy are extremely expensive.

Jingchen reached into the storage ring with his spiritual sense and counted 240 runestones, put them in a bag and took them out, the steward took them and tapped them lightly, and handed the door number to Jingchen.

The location is on the fourth floor, the innermost room.

After Jingchen came in, he checked the source of the fire first. It was slightly better than the common ground fire for alchemy. If the ground fire is divided into nine levels, the last time he used the third-level ground fire for alchemy in Lingyi base, this time it can Reach level five.

Looking around, the room was empty and cleaned very cleanly. There was a large melting furnace in the middle, which was slightly larger than the alchemy furnace.

Jingchen recalled that before going out, he crammed his feet to read the refining guide, and sat down to take out the materials that might be used in the refining.

In fact, it is similar to alchemy. Artifact refining can also use the techniques brought from the earth, but you need to pay attention to the final part of the branding pattern, because for refining artefacts, you use a spirit pen to draw lines directly on it, which is somewhat similar to the blessing of runes. No need to go to the Spirit Furnace.

To be on the safe side, Jingchen didn't experiment with Ling Yi's sword. Although the sword was so broken that it was almost unusable, if it was used for the experiment like this, there would be no scum left if it was not guaranteed.

"Teng" turned on the switch, lit the ground fire, and let the stove preheat first.

Jingchen took out a few Lijin stones and some metal materials. These materials were in the ring when Ling Yi gave him the ring, so he simply took it out after some knowledge.

After thinking about it, Jing Chen decided to try his hand at forging a dagger first. First, it is short and does not consume much material. Second, it is easy to carry and can be kept as a souvenir of "the first forging".

First put Lijin stone into the stove, which is the main material. Since he has never touched this material before, Jing Chen puts it very carefully and pays attention to it with his spiritual sense all the time.

After more than an hour of refining, the metal stone was finally melted into a liquid state. The time was beyond expectation.

Jingchen didn't have time to lament the lost eighty runestones, and threw all the remaining materials into the furnace.

As we all know, alloys generally have higher properties than pure metals, which is called "hybrid advantage" in biology, and this theorem is also applicable when refining weapons.

During the refining process just now, Jingchen discovered that Lijinshi was not very hard but could withstand high temperatures, so he temporarily replaced an auxiliary material with Dingyuan sand to increase the stability of the internal structure of the dagger. Replacement is not suitable for everyone, without considerable experience, it is better to follow the refining map (equivalent to Danfang) honestly.

Another half an hour later, the metal liquid melted into a ball, and the next step was the process of releasing the mold, so the name Siyi is to let the liquid be shaped, and the shape of the talisman after it comes out depends entirely on this process.

The main thing used here is mental power. Using mental power to replace molds and molds is one of the most basic abilities of a craftsman.

According to an ancient book found in the ancient ruins on the earth, one of the measures to judge the quality of a craftsman is to see whether the utensils he refines are big or not, which means that the craftsman has great mental strength and has enough strength to support the completion of the mold. .

However, there is another method here, which is to shape the utensils through tempering like a blacksmith. There are also smiths who use this ancient method, which is called external refining. This method tests the endurance and perseverance of the smith , concentration, easy to refine the weapon soul, and create a peerless magic weapon.

Jing Chen had learned this method and used it to refine weapons, but after Lingxuanzi ascended, he became more lazy and muddled through, so he seldom used this method to refine weapons.
