Chapter 179: Backward Engraving Technique

While speaking, Fang Zhuo and Wen He had already entered the refining room. Fang Zhuo took a look at it and realized that the so-called refining tools were actually drawing talismans on various utensils. This is just one part of the refining process.

As early as when he came here, Fang Zhuo already knew from Dong Jianchen's introduction that the building complex of the Heavenly Rune Hall occupied the east peak of the Quenching Sword Peak, mainly for refining talismans, and the refining tools were mainly on the west peak.

Fang Zhuo followed Wen He and watched slowly, listening to Wen He's whispered introduction in his ear.

There are three main ways for the disciples of the Heavenly Rune Hall to complete their monthly tasks, in addition to handing in talismans and refining weapons, there is also a way to apply to go out to hunt demon beasts. Take back the materials on the monster and hand over a part of it, and you can also offset the task according to the value.

However, the vast majority of Fu cultivators chose to assist in the refining of the sect here.

Once upon a time, in the cultivation realm, Fu Xiu was synonymous with power.

As a monk who deals with talismans every day, holds a large number of talismans and is proficient in formations, Fu Xiu is known as the most difficult to kill and the strongest in battle. However, with the gradual severance and lack of the talisman inheritance, the talisman cultivation in the current cultivation realm has long been gone.

Therefore, Fu Xiu did not have a strong partner, and rarely chose to go out and take risks to hunt demon beasts.

Fang Zhuo listened to Wen He's introduction while watching the operations of those talismans.

There are three most common methods of talisman engraving used by the Bitter Sword Sect in refining weapons.

One is the use of a specially configured rune aura. This rune spirit fluid can penetrate into the metal to form rune patterns. This is actually not very different from drawing a rune.

However, the ability of this rune spirit fluid to penetrate is not very strong, so this kind of rune is really not of much practical value in armor and weapons. Because these shallow runes are easily damaged during impact cutting, causing the entire rune array to fail.

Therefore, this method is usually used for the refining of low-level equipment weapons and some auxiliary supplies.

The second is the use of corrosion. Fu Xiu uses a unique corrosive liquid to outline the surface of the metal, so as to etch a series of lines on the surface of the metal. Then use some metals that have a good channeling effect, smelt these metals, and embed them into the patterns that have been etched. This is the way the rune is formed.

This kind of artifact usually has to be taken back to Xifeng and hammered again. After being hammered by some masters of refining weapons, these metal runes are usually not damaged, but are more closely integrated with the body of the artifact. Some special or high-end artifacts will also smelt a hard metal layer on the surface layer to protect the rune array below.

But this method also has its flaws and difficulties. First of all, the Fu cultivation that performs the sketch etching requires a strong divine sense, and it has high requirements in the control of corrosive liquids. Once there is too much corrosive liquid, it will damage the utensils. Secondly, the traces of corrosion are generally very shallow, otherwise the existence of the rune array will make the artifact fragile.

There is also a kind of Fu cultivators who can only be responsible for part of the process. They used special tools to carve various grooves directly on the surface of the objects. The rune array formed by these grooves will be directly embedded in the spirit guiding metal by the forging master in the West Peak, and then directly refined into the rune array after hammering. At first glance, this method of refining is not much different from the second one, but it is more reliable.

The grooves can be carved deeper, unlike corrosive liquids, which tend to cause many negative problems. The embedded spirit metal will melt into the artifact itself during hammering, so there will be no problem of grooves destroying the solidity of the artifact.

The only flaw is that refiners who can protect the talisman array during hammering and achieve the refining effect are really rare. In other words, the actual level and success or failure of this kind of refining method are mainly not on the side of Fu cultivation but on the side of refining. Moreover, carving this kind of talisman array requires the strength of the monk to be strong enough.

Knowing the refining methods of these three refining talismans, Fang Zhuo felt speechless for a while. Indeed, as Dong Jianchen said, the level of the Bitter Sword Sect's talisman is really too low.

First of all, the first and second methods, at a glance, you can see that the Dao is differentiated from the ancient refining methods. The reason for this divergence is simple, that is, the inheritance is missing.

Because Fang Zhuo knew that the preparation method of a rune spirit liquid in the Dao just made up for the shortcomings of this first refining method. This rune spirit recorded in the artifact chapter can penetrate into the metal inside, deep enough, and not only will not destroy the toughness of the metal, but has the function of enhancing the strength of the metal.

And the second, in addition to the corrosive liquid used for etching, there is actually a melting liquid. This molten liquid is applied to the etched grooves before being embedded in the channeling metal, and the embedded metal will slowly merge with the metal!

Moreover, the etching liquid formula that Fang Zhuo knew was better in terms of depth and controllability of etching after preparation.

Of course, these were the lowest-level refining talisman carving methods, and other high-end methods such as divine consciousness engraving talismans and spiritual power inscriptions were still untouchable by Fang Zhuo's current status in the Bitter Sword Sect. Fang Zhuo believed that the Bitter Sword Sect would definitely have a high-end refining and carving talisman inheritance, as for whether it was complete or not, it would be a matter of two words.

As for the Divine Sense Carving, Fang Zhuo believed that even if he traveled all over the world, not many people would master it, because the threshold was too high.

The divine consciousness itself is strong enough, and this "enough" is actually impossible for most monks to master this skill.

Even Fang Zhuo himself, it is estimated that in order to carve talismans for other people's divine senses, he at least needs to build the peak of the foundation and even reach the Jindan stage. The reason why he had completed the refining of several artifacts for himself was that he had completely refined the artifacts in advance using the Soul Witch Forbidden and the Little Heavenly Star Spiritual Forbidden Method. This method can only be applied to refining one's own weapons. After he completely sacrificed the utensils, he couldn't use them even if he refined them.

Fang Zhuo looked at these refining processes while casually dealing with Wen He's words, secretly wondering how to find an opportunity to come up with his own recipe.

The most critical question is what you can do to get the greater benefit.

"Newcomers can study here for a while, until you're almost done, and then you can do it. Wen He introduced.

After Fang Zhuo saw Wen He enter this huge operation room, he became shrunken again. Some Fu Xiu also looked at him with some undisguised disdain. It seems that Wenhe is not less angry here. Fang Zhuo didn't know what this was for, so naturally he wouldn't jump to conclusions, just watch from the sidelines.

After turning around, Wen He was about to take Fang Zhuo away, when He Zhan came to meet him.

After a few days of recuperation, He Zhan's injuries have long healed. Besides, although he has not entered the foundation building period, he is still a high-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, and with the healing pill, it is really not difficult to treat the pig's head face.

For the joke that he originally wanted to see Fang Zhuo, but unexpectedly provoked hatred and was turned into a pig's head, He Zhan was naturally full of anger. This anger naturally had to be counted on Fang Zhuo's head.

However, at this moment, He Zhan's face was still full of smiles.
