Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The first failure to refine the weapon did not dampen Zhou Yang's enthusiasm, because he never imagined that he would be successful once.

If the artifact refining technique is so easy to master, the profession of artifact refiner will not become the most popular profession in the world of cultivating immortals.

Any craftsman, even the most talented craftsman, cannot succeed in crafting the first time.

Most of the craftsmen have a little talent for crafting, and then rely on countless materials to accumulate craftsmanship.

Therefore, in the world of immortals, among those loose cultivators who have no sect, no sect and no family, there are very few alchemists and alchemists, because they can't afford the waste of materials needed to learn these two skills.

Even for a foundation-building family like the Zhou family with foundation-building stage monks, it is very difficult to cultivate a second-order craft refiner who can really make money. They must select talented children and then invest a lot of money.

Before Zhou Yang, the Zhou family also had many monks in the "Xuan" generation to learn the art of refining, but only his seventh uncle, Zhou Xuanlin, was barely promoted to the second-order refining master, and this was still guided by the third-order refining master Zhou Minghan. It was cultivated after smashing materials worth thousands of spirit stones.

However, the limit of a cultivator in the Qi training period is the second-order refiner. In order to become a third-order weapon refiner, one must first become a foundation-building cultivator.

Therefore, Zhou Minghan said that he hoped that Zhou Yang could inherit his artifact refining technique. His subconscious intention was to hope that he could successfully establish a foundation.

As long as he can successfully establish a foundation and show a little talent for refining, even if he is smashed with a spirit stone, Zhou Minghan is sure to smash him into a third-order refining master!

Of course, Zhou Yang didn't know about these things. He just felt that the materials for refining were not easy to come by, and it was a pity to waste them. Therefore, after failing, he did not rush to try again. Instead, he cleaned up the waste in the vessel and carefully summed up the experience and lessons.

After he felt certain, he started a new attempt again.

In this way, fail, summarize, fail again, and summarize again...

After seventeen failures, Zhou Yang finally succeeded in refining a finished [Qingfeng Sword] and officially became a first-order smith.

With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang's success rate when refining weapons is much better. Basically, he can succeed once every ten times.

When he had gone through hundreds of refining and controlled the success rate to 2/10, he stopped refining the first-order magic weapon [Qingfeng Sword], and changed to refining another first-order magic weapon. Flaming Knife].

The first-order magic tool [Flaming Knife], the main material is also fine iron, but at the same time, two-tenths of the fire attribute spiritual gold and red copper must be mixed. It can stimulate the flame to attach to the knife to cause burning damage to the enemy, and it can also deal with some ghosts that cannot be attacked by pure physical attacks.

The refining process of [Flaming Blade] is roughly the same as that of [Qingfeng Sword], the difference is that when refining [Flaming Blade], the restriction placed in the blade is not [Sharpness], but [Flame] restriction.

Although Zhou Yang had a successful experience in refining the [Qingfeng Sword], he still failed to refine the [Flaming Blade] magic weapon for the first time.

However, he summed up the experience of failure, the second time he was lucky enough to succeed, and then after dozens of refining, he successfully controlled the refining efficiency of the [Flaming Knife] to be above 20%.

At this time, the old patriarch still had a lot of basic refining materials left for him, but he did not continue refining, but instead refined the finished magical tools that he had refined, and the refining tools that he had summed up when refining the tools. The experience, as well as the letter written to the parents, were handed over to Zhou Qi, a cultivator of the same generation who came to collect the iron ore concentrate, and asked him to bring it back to the family to the old patriarch and to his parents who were far away.

Zhou Qi ranks third in the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation. His parents are ordinary mortals. He is thirty-two years old this year. However, because the quality of his spiritual roots is only low-grade, he can only reach the third level of Qi practice now that his cultivation is worthy. , There is no hope of building a foundation in this life.

When he heard about Zhou Yang becoming a first-order Item Refiner, he was naturally surprised for a while, and then he took the things with a happy face and nodded vigorously: "Ninth brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring the things and letters to the old patriarch. With my uncle and aunt."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and said earnestly again with a sincere expression: "But you must also cultivate well, don't put all your energy on the refining tool, you are the hope of our entire Zhou family, the elders in the clan and All of us brothers and sisters are counting on you to build a foundation and successfully lead our Zhou family to continue!"

"What the third brother said is that I will work hard to cultivate, and I will never let the elders down!" Zhou Yang nodded and responded with a serious expression.

"You just have to know what you have in mind, then I'll go first."

Watching his clan brother Zhou Qi leave, Zhou Yang controlled the formation to restore it to its original state, and closed the door to read the long letter that his parents entrusted his clan brother to him.

Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao, devoted himself to cultivation in the early years. It was not until he found that he had no hope of building a foundation at the age of sixty that he followed the advice of the elders of the family to marry a wife and have children.

At that time, his mother, Lin Yuting, was hunted down by the enemy and escaped to the oasis of Yuquan Lake and was rescued by him. The two became married because of this, and they gave birth to Zhou Yang within a few years.

Because both of them are immortal cultivators, the first child was lucky enough to detect a medium-quality spiritual root. Since then, Zhou Yang has become the heart and soul of this pair of parents. It's gone, baby is amazing.

It is precisely because of the meticulous love from his parents since he was a child that Zhou Yang, a traveler with 20 or 30 years of memory from his previous life, slowly let go of everything in his previous life, accepted and recognized his parents in this life from the bottom of his heart, and recognized the entire Zhou family. .

In order to allow this son to go further than the two of them in practice, the couple, Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting, did not have any other children after that, and focused all their energy on earning spiritual stones and taking care of Zhou Yang. .

Later, when they found out 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 clan to take care of him, and then sat in the family's shop in a cultivator's square city all the year round. The alchemy and wine-making techniques that he mastered earn spiritual stones for his family and son.

As a "come here", Zhou Yang understood very well the thoughts of Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting as a couple.

Just like his parents in his last life left their hometown to work in the city at a young age in order to provide him with education and education, everything Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting are doing now is also for him to build a foundation in the future and to be able to practice on the road. Go further.

So he never resented because he couldn't see his parents all the year round. Instead, he wrote several letters from the elders of the trust family to his parents every year, telling them about his usual life experiences. He knew that these seemingly ordinary and boring things were What parents want to see most.

"Yang'er, Qingpingshan is far away from the family, you must think twice before you do anything, and everything is mainly to protect yourself..."

"Son, the business of the restaurant here is getting better and better recently. The hunger marketing method you told my mother last time is really good. My son is really a genius. He will definitely become a foundation-building monk in the future, no, he will definitely Become the ancestor of the Golden Core Stage!"

Zhou Yang looked at the letter his parents wrote to him word for word, with a sincere smile on his face. A simple letter from his parents was far more useful than a thousand words to inspire him.

After reading the entire letter, he carefully put away the letter and whispered to himself: "There are still two years, when I finish the remaining two years of stationing tasks, I will go back to the family to prepare to break through the seventh level of Qi training, as long as After breaking through to the seventh level of Qi training and advancing to the late stage of Qi training, I applied to the old patriarch to be stationed in Fangshi, and then our family can be reunited!"

On the other hand, when Zhou Qi returned to the family with the magic weapon and experience refined by Zhou Yang and handed it over to the old patriarch, it immediately attracted Zhou Minghan's attention.

He personally inspected the instruments that Zhou Yang refined one by one, pointed out the deficiencies and gave suggestions for improvement, and then answered the questions that Zhou Yang recorded on the instrument refining experience one by one, and then asked a The clan elders of the "Guang" generation made a trip in person and delivered some higher-level refining materials and refining experience to Zhou Yang.

"Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, you are really proud of yourself. This old man has lived for hundreds of years. It is the first time that the old patriarch is so happy and attaches great importance to a younger generation. Now your Zhou family Qilin'er's name has spread throughout the clan. , even those people in the world are talking about your deeds!"

The old man of the Zhou family's "guang" generation, who was in charge of delivering things to Zhou Yang, was named Zhou Quan, ranked third among his peers, and the second elder among the eight elders of the Zhou family.

The old man is already one hundred and twelve years old, and is very close to the lifespan of a cultivator during the Qi training period. If Zhou Minghan hadn't personally ordered him to go by name and surname this time, no one in the family would have dared to alarm the dying man. elder.

"It's really a sin for the grand-nephew to make this trip, the third grandpa tired, it's really a sin for UU reading www.uukanshu.com!"

Zhou Yang looked at the old man whose mouth was leaking when he laughed. While moved, he also sighed secretly.

He knew that if the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training in the family all had their own tasks, the old patriarch would never have let Zhou Quan, an old man who was about to become squat, come to this trip.

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.

"Hehehe, the old man is old, it doesn't matter if he sits down tomorrow. If I can see an outstanding junior like you appear in the family before sitting down, the old man will die and close his eyes!"

The old man Zhou Quan smiled happily, reached out and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder lightly to show his closeness, but he had already looked down on life and death.

But he said that, after the next second, he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the old man can't wait for the day when you build the foundation, otherwise the old man will go to Huangquan after his death, and he will have a face. I went to see the ancestors of Yuquan!"

Zhou Yang was silent, and his mood became heavy.

In the past 100 years or so, successive generations of monks in the Zhou family have been stuck on the foundation building, so that old people like Zhou Quan have a deep obsession in their hearts. The only obsession in their hearts is I hope that in my lifetime, I can see another foundation-building cultivator appear in the Zhou family to replace the old patriarch to guard the family.

His father, Zhou Xuanhao, actually had this kind of obsession. Otherwise, he would not have made every effort to earn spirit stones outside to prepare for his foundation building in the future.

And just when 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 extremely panicked voice of Zhou's housekeeper at the iron ore concentrate outside. : "Master Immortal, help, there are powerful monsters attacking the mine!"
