Chapter 145: Weapons
Xia Xingxiao thought about it. His Dao Heart Demon Cultivation ** has been used to the limit. Before cultivating to the second layer, it was impossible to collect more spirit beasts. Even if there is a spirit beast that knows how to make alchemy or forge now, crying and begging him to collect it, he can't help it.
Alas, if I had known, I shouldn't have collected five sand worm larvae at once, but who knew so much at the time? Besides, from a mining point of view, the effect of sand worm larvae is also good. Now that the choice has been made, there is no need to regret alchemy, forging or something, it is all for the future, you can take your time and not be in a hurry.
"Let's go, let's go and see the forge factory. Li Yuji said understandingly.
"Good. Xia Xingxiao nodded, put down the regret in his heart, and followed Li Yuji to the forging workshop next to him.
Compared with the alchemy workshop, the forging workshop is much wider and more lively. There are a large number of low-level weapons sold here, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, which should be described as eighteen kinds of weapons with a mouth, and everything is complete.
Weapons and equipment of different sizes, shapes, and attributes are stacked on top of each other, and it looks really spectacular. There are also many people who come and choose weapons.
Generally speaking, as long as it is a cultivator, it will be equipped with one or two weapons. Some people even have several. After all, the lethality of weapons is stronger than people's fists and feet. In a brutal battle, even the slightest increase in lethality can change the outcome of the battle. It is even possible to save a precious life. Nobody wants to die, and this is the greatest demand for weapons.
For example, Xia Xingxiao, although he learned fist and foot kung fu, he didn't learn any weapons. However, when necessary, he can also use weapons to go into battle. Among the kung fu he studied, there were also knife techniques and sticks. It's just that he doesn't have the weapon at his hand now, and he doesn't have the opportunity to use it.
Among the sword techniques provided by the Star Glory Federation army, the most powerful is none other than Kou Zhong's Eight Techniques in the Well. The fastest speed is none other than Yun Shuai's Sunny Blade Method. And the most bizarre thing is Feng Han's left-handed knife technique. And the cleanest thing is to slash against the wind. As for the martial arts of sticks, it ranks first, of course, it is the world-famous dog-beating stick method.
If you want to say that Xia Xingxiao's biggest flaw in the choice of martial arts, it is estimated that it is swordsmanship. Because of the limited space to know the sea, he didn't even fit the Dugu Nine Sword into it, let alone other swordsmanship. "Dugu Nine Swords" is definitely a first-class awesome existence in the starry sky world. A speed-type cultivator, combined with the Dugu Nine Swords, could easily defeat an enemy two or three levels higher than himself. Except for the "Cihang Sword Codex", one of the five strange books, there is no other sword technique that is the opponent of Dugu Nine Swords, not even the rain sword technique of the waves and clouds. However, the shortcomings of Dugu Jiujian are also ruthless. It pursues too much skill, which leads to insufficient performance in the cultivation of internal strength. To be precise, it means that the user cannot increase the power of the Dugu Nine Sword through the strong True Qi. Like Xia Xingxiao, there is a large amount of true qi in the air, which is actually of little use to Dugu Jiujian.
From Xia Xingxiao's point of view, he prefers to choose the rain sword technique of waves and clouds. Because, the rain swordsmanship can give full play to the power of his strong true qi. By desperately burning True Qi, he could increase the power of the Rain-Covered Sword Technique by more than two or three times. Especially after reaching the high level, by burning the true qi, he could expand the lethality of the rain covering sword technique to more than ten times.
Now, of course, these are all fantasies. It is impossible to learn more martial arts until his knowledge of the sea is effectively expanded. Now he can only watch others perform the Dugu Nine Swords or the Rain Covering Sword Technique.
Due to the Starry Sky World, there were too many enemies for cultivators. Different enemies have different characteristics, and if you only rely on one kind of martial arts, or one kind of weapon, you can't deal with so many enemies. Therefore, high-level cultivators tend to learn a variety of martial arts, equip themselves with a variety of weapons, and can adapt to the actual situation at any time.
The starry sky world is so big, don't talk about it for the time being. Even around Ai Ye Xing, different enemies also have different characteristics. For example, sand thieves are afraid of yin and cold martial arts, but they are not afraid of masculine martial arts. You use Jiuyang Divine Skill or something to beat him, but it has no effect at all. Samoans, on the other hand, are very afraid of high temperatures and high temperatures, and they are not afraid of cold martial arts at all. In front of them, martial arts such as the Phantom Yin Finger are completely useless. And the Capricorn people have a very strong physical protection ability, and the weapon can barely be cut. At this time, it is necessary to invite martial arts such as fighting cattle across the mountains, breaking off seven broken hearts, and splitting empty palms to be effective. Therefore, cultivators must follow the trend and change.
For example, Major Zhang Feng, he must have more than one weapon on his body. In addition to his quick knife, there should be other killer features. When dealing with the toad monster, he uses a quick knife. If you deal with mantis knife rides, mantis bow rides, etc., you will definitely have to change to other weapons. Otherwise, if you rely solely on a quick knife, the opponent's strong defense will be like a mouse pulling a turtle for the enemy, and there is no way to start!
Due to the high demand for weapons by cultivators, the weapon market was extremely inflated. As long as a cultivator has the ability, he will equip himself with more lethal weapons and use more convenient weapons as much as possible. This is true even for the Star Federation, not to mention the Eight Great Empires of the Human Race. There is only one sentence in a cultivator's pursuit of weapons, that is, there is no best, only better.
No cultivator would feel that their weapons and equipment were good enough and that they didn't need to be replaced. As long as they don't die, as long as they have a breath, they will strive for better weapons and stronger lethality. Therefore, good weapons and equipment are definitely in high demand.
Compared with the elixir, the types of weapons and equipment are also dazzling and strange. With the exception of standard weapons issued by the military, almost no two pieces of the same armament or equipment exist. Even if it is from the same smith, there are subtle differences between different weapons.
At this time, it is time to fully test the cultivator's eyesight. Of course, it is also a great test of the cultivators' respective character.
In fact, even the standard weapons issued by the military cannot be identical. For example, there must be some slight differences between the two Yanling knives. And these small differences may be more obvious in battle, life and death are instantaneous, even the slightest slight difference can lead to the difference between life and death in the end.
Because the seller's market for weapons and equipment is vast, those spirit beasts that know how to forge are naturally particularly sought-after. The reason why many cultivators choose to cultivate Dao Heart Cultivation Demons** is to collect those spirit beasts that know how to refine or forge. However, forging equipment requires more advanced spirit beast skills than refining pills, and ordinary spirit beasts do not have this skill.
For now, Xia Xingxiao doesn't have the need to forge equipment. The martial arts he cultivates are quite special, and even if he is equipped with weapons, his lethality may not be able to be effectively improved. Martial arts such as the Dog Stick Technique and the Sunny Blade Technique are all won by dexterity or speed, and the attack power against the enemy is not strong, and it is not at all comparable to the powerful King Kong fist with four times the strength.
For Xia Xingxiao, the most practical martial arts at present is still to vigorously sacrifice the fist. If the Mighty Vajra Fist is cultivated to the second layer, it can burst out with eight times its strength. This is a very scary number. Therefore, Xia Xingxiao does not plan to equip weapons for the time being, unless there is a very special need. Of course, in order to make money, win over the younger brother or something, it should be good to learn to forge.
It's a pity that learning forging, like learning alchemy, is very time-consuming, energy-consuming, and money-consuming. Well, to be precise, a waste of merit points. Forging equipment is expensive and requires a lot of precious special ores. These ores, within the army, are generally exchanged for merit points. Of course, there are other ways to exchange merit points. However, what is certain is that no matter what kind of exchange is used, it is worth a lot.
Moreover, the point of forging is not to simply shape the weapon. The refinement of the weapon after it has been formed is the most important thing. The power of a weapon is overwhelmingly reflected in its level of refinement. The so-called refining is to use a special ore to increase the power of weapons. The refining step is the most expensive step than the build.
Generally speaking, different forgers, using the same ore, will not create a weapon rough embryo in terms of performance. However, after the weapon is formed, its power is very different, and why is that? This is refinement. Due to the different levels of refining, the power of the final weapons and equipment is naturally very different.
Refining weapons requires the use of Astral Stones. This is a very special kind of ore in the starry world. It contains a certain amount of wisdom metal and memory metal. Insert it into the rough embryo of the weapon and forge it together repeatedly to effectively improve the effectiveness of the weapon.
A standard star stone is usually cut into the shape of a diamond, also known as a dream diamond. Dream diamonds can be processed. Dream diamonds are processed in a variety of colors depending on the quality, and are arranged from lowest to highest in the order of gray, pink, black, red, orange (gold), yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
The gray quality is the worst, and it can only improve the performance of weapons and equipment, milling left and right. The pink one is slightly better and can improve the performance of the ship, the black one can improve the performance of the ship, and the red one can improve the performance of the ship...... , and so on. Purple is the highest quality and can improve the performance of the weapon.
