A few days passed.

Uncle Ye basically mastered the use of Baoding after Liangchen, and selected a few of the simplest materials from the warehouse and asked him to refine them himself.

By the way, let's see where Yi Liangchen's current mana can go.

Because it was the first time to refine the weapon, Ye Lao asked him to refine the most common and simplest short sword, the Maple Leaf Sword.

Maple leaf sword, the magic weapon of the lower grade fire attribute, the sword is two feet long, two fingers wide, the sword grid is maple leaf-shaped, and the sword body is vermilion, so it is called the maple leaf sword.

Because of its good power and good shape, it has always been one of the most commonly used weapons by low-level monks.

Ye Lao chose this sword as the first weapon refined by Liangchen, also because the short sword required fewer materials, and it was more time-saving and labor-saving to refine.

Moreover, fire-attribute weapons, compared to several other attributes, are relatively easy to refine successfully.

Ye Lao finished preparing the materials and explained to him the key points in the refining process.

When everything was ready, Liangchen started his first refining weapon under Ye Lao's eyes.

I saw him spit out a spell and sacrifice the Deer King Ding, and the flame of the magic trick in his hand rose suddenly.

After a while, the temperature in the dings reaches the temperature required for smelting, and then the main material vermilion ore is put into the dings and the smelting begins.

There is an old saying that the eye is high and the master is low, and Liangchen only now understands that this is the case!

Usually watching Ye Lao's refining on the side, I always feel as if it is very casual, and it is really until I personally refine it to understand what it means to learn from books.

On the one hand, it is necessary to constantly supplement the flame to control the relatively stable temperature in the ding, and on the other hand, it is necessary to separate a part of the mana to control the flame to calcinate the ore evenly.

Fortunately, he is now comfortable controlling the flames, otherwise this first step alone would be overstretched.

"Zhu ore has a low melting point and is an ore that is relatively easy to refine. It usually melts in half an hour. Ye Lao explained carefully on the side.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

"If you continue at this level of consumption, you can only hold on for another hour or two, I don't know if it will be enough to complete the refining?"

Liangchen felt that his mana consumption was a little fast, and he secretly thought about it in his heart.

"The ore has melted, pay attention to the temperature evenly, don't get distracted. Ye Lao seemed to feel something and reminded.

Liangchen hurriedly gathered his mind and devoted himself to refining ore.

The Zhu ore is really easy to refine, and it has already begun to melt, and the materials used in the short sword are not much, only the size of a fist, and it melts relatively quickly.

After another half an hour, the ore finally melted completely, turning into a fiery red mass of liquid.

At this time, the mineral liquid began to flow out of impurities of other colors, and slowly there were fewer and fewer impurities of other colors, and finally no other impurities flowed out.

"Well, the ore has been smelted. It is now possible to condensate the molding. Ye Lao said beside him.

"The materials have just been refined, and most of my mana has already been consumed. Liangchen sensed the mana in his body, and secretly complained in his heart at this time.

"Anyway, condense the sword first. ”

Liangchen divided another point of mana to slowly control the flow of the mineral liquid, and refined it according to the shape that Uncle Ye explained at the beginning.

At this time, Liangchen needs a mana to add flames to the ding, so as to ensure that the overall temperature in the dings continues to be stable.

Another mana manipulates a part of the flame in the tripod to wrap around the material and control the temperature balance around the material.

It is also necessary to divide a portion of mana to manipulate the mineral liquid to slowly form.

The front is divided into two control flames, and it can still be done, but when the third part is separated, the mana in Liangchen's body is lost to a very fast speed at this time!

The hilt of the sword had slowly taken shape, the liquid was flowing slowly, and the blade of the sword was stretched forward at a subtle speed.

At the same time, the mana in Liangchen's body was rapidly depleted.

The sword body only stretched forward half a foot, and the fire in the Ding suddenly became chaotic, and the temperature became uncontrollable.

"Ding Dong~", the remnant sword that had not yet taken shape lost control and fell into the ding.

"Alas!" Liangchen, whose mana was empty in his body, was sweating profusely, and sighed as he looked at the flickering flames in the Deer King Ding.

"Don't be discouraged, you've done well today. Uncle Shi, it's the first time I've refined a weapon, but I haven't even refined the materials. Uncle Ye said with a little approval next to him.

"Uncle Shi, don't comfort me, this sword type has not even been refined, where can it be regarded as a good performance?" Liangchen looked at the half-cut short sword in Dingzhong and said with a wry smile.

"Indeed, I am impressed by your performance today!

I think back then, I did this step with you, and I tried it several times. As for completely condensing into a sword shape, it also took dozens of failures to succeed.

Judging by your performance today, condensing into a sword shape is just around the corner. Uncle Ye said.

Uncle Xie Ye encouraged. "Liangchen's frustrated mood is finally better.

"By the way, Uncle Ye, I have a question, it took me more than an hour to refine the ore before I used most of the mana, but then in less than half an hour, the mana consumed the essence. How could this be?" asked Liangchen.

"On the one hand, it's because your mana is too low, and on the other hand, it's because your divine thoughts aren't strong enough, so the further you go, the harder it becomes.

It only took two hours to consume most of the mana, because you were more proficient in manipulating flames and consumed less, but later it was too rusty for you to control the material molding, so the further back you go, the faster it will be consumed. ”

Uncle Ye thought for a moment to explain.

"I see. Then Uncle Ye, how should I use my divine thoughts, and how can I become powerful?"

Liangchen had only vaguely understood it before, but there were still many questions about the specifics.

"Divine thought is a kind of soul power, which is used externally to sense all things in heaven and earth, and internally used to manipulate mana magic weapons to attack. ”

"The power of the magic weapon depends on the depth of your mana, but the control still depends on your thoughts, that is, divine thoughts.

When manipulating a wisp of flame, it is a thought, that is, a wisp of divine thought, and it is only necessary to concentrate on it. But controlling two flames requires you to be distracted.

When there are more and more flames, and you need to separate more and more thoughts, you will have a situation where you are in a hurry. ”

Uncle Ye used a relatively straightforward metaphor to explain to Liangchen.

"This is also the reason why the further you refine the weapon just now, the faster the mana will be consumed, and the further back you go, the more difficult it will be to control the situation. ”

"Then how can you make your divine thoughts strong?" asked Liangchen.

"Divine thoughts mainly depend on talent, of course, there are some secret methods, but they are more difficult to find.

I have heard of a group of aliens in the Far North, who are proficient in the secret art of witchcraft, and can take life and death by divine thought.

The Western Sword Sect's Mental Law Peerless Learning is also said to have a powerful god-like effect. Uncle Ye thought about it and said.

"Then what should I do?" asked Liangchen with some disappointment when he heard that there was no good way.

"You don't have to think about it that much. In the process of refining, there are many benefits to having a strong divine mind, but in the whole process of refining, the most difficult process only needs to be distracted by three or four times.

You just need to practice a lot and master the refining process, and you don't need to deliberately cultivate. Ye Lao said.

"Of course, the more we refining weapons, the further we go, the stronger our divine thoughts will be. After all, regular exercise, over time, is always a little stronger than ordinary people. ”

"I see. Liangchen listened, and then he was relieved.

Otherwise, there is a big problem of insufficient mana in front of him, and with a lack of divine thoughts, his road will be too difficult.

"The process of refining the materials is barely passable, but you see. ”

Uncle Ye picked up the half-broken sword.

"This sword hilt is good, but the sword grid is not good, obviously the mana is not properly controlled, resulting in uneven strength.

The sword body is even worse, the mana is exhausted, and it is barely refined, and the speed is too fast, even if such a sword is refined into shape, it is doomed to fail when it is quenched!"

Ye Lao pointed at the remnant sword, with a flick of his fingers, the sword body shattered, and the remnant sword was broken into several sections!

"Put away the broken sword, and take a closer look, where there is a break, there is a flaw.

If the sword is uneven, how can it become one, how can it withstand external attacks, and how can it become a magic weapon?" Ye Lao commanded again.

"Yes. Liangchen possessed and put away the broken sword on the ground.

Uncle Ye pointed out a few mistakes in the refining process of Liangchen, let him slowly comprehend them, and then turned around and left.

Liangchen reassembled the broken sword to restore it to completeness, referring to Uncle Ye's words, and went back and forth in his mind several times about his refining process.

Then, looking at the cracks, he recalled the deviations in the control of the flame during the refining process, the speed of molding, and the mood fluctuations at that time, and analyzed what caused these defects.
