Chapter 43 - Weapon Refining

Jian has been refining pills continuously. He can now refine the pills which are above 90% in quality. The highest pill with the highest purity he was able to refine was 93 %. Which he could only refine if he fully concentrated on refining otherwise all pills were 90 to 92 % purity.

Jian was refining and distributing the pills to disciples. He was able to see the improvements but if disciples took more pills they took the speed will decrease but it was not affecting them as before.

Jian knew if he was able to refine the pill with the highest quality the problem will be solved but he kept it aside and he focused on the next mission.

He wanted to go to the city and find out ways to spread his sect name. So he decided to focus on completing the weapon refining mission.

To complete the mission he only has six days. So he focused on this because when he goes to the city he will be able to do multiple works about the sect.

Jian first distributed the pills which are above 90% and took them back which are not. He was planning to sell the pills which are not above 90%.

Jian took out the cauldron for weapon refining and materials for refining the sword.

Jian said, " System start sending the information."

The system didn't say anything and started to send the information and process of refining the sword.

Weapon refining is a process similar to pill refining but instead of forming a pill, you have to continuously temper Ore and refine it till only the pure form of ore remains. Then use your Qi to form the mold and used purified Ore to form a weapon using the mold.

In weapon refining, Qi control is a must because it is used to form mold and after molding the weapon you have used your Qi to temper the molded weapon to refine the remaining impurities. The last is the quenching process which is the main process of refining the weapon.

In quenching, the molded weapon's temperature is to be increased till particularly and after that quenching is done were weapons temperature drops.

The quenching process requires quenching liquid using some herbs and the blood of the beast. Jian had bought basic quenching liquid for weapon forging.

After going through the information provided by the system Jian understood that although Qi control is required it is required after refining the Ore. Qi control is used to form mold and temper the molded weapon.

The system now showed him the process of refining the sword which Jian bought from Meng Shu.

The process was similar to the basic information provided by the system and only the tempering of the weapon required some time and Qi control and for quenching, you can use your mixture.

The process continued till a one-star Weapon is formed. After that Jian opened his eyes. Jian recalled the process and thought that the weapon refining for very easy and he gained the confidence that he will be able to refine the weapon on the first try.

Jian didn't wait and took out the ores and started to heat the cauldron. In refining the sword only two ores of the same type were required. So Jian put them in a cauldron when their temperature has reached its point and started refining it.

Jian continued to refine and remove the impurities from the ores for one hour. Since Jian refined pills multiple times he was able to remove the impurities from ores easily. But it required more time and more heat as compared to herbs so it required one hour to complete the process.

Now Jian was ready to form a mold of the sword. Jian started to move his Qi and started to form molds according to the process provided by the system. As he continued to form the mental stress kept increasing. Sweat drops were started to form on the forehead and Jian started to look pale.

Jian's control over the mold was starting to get shaky. He still completes the mold but he was exhausted and he couldn't move but to complete the process he started to move refined Ore to the mold but all things were destroyed.

It was destroyed because when Ore connected to the mold. The mold started to burn and the whole mold collapsed with Ore and the whole material was destroyed.

Jian was breathing heavily. When he saw his mold collapsed he was affected by the backlash from the mold. The backlash was that his whole Qi was sucked dry and the mental stress increased.

Jian asked, " System why did this happen ".

The system was about to reply but Jian collapsed and became unconscious.

Jian was unconscious for two hours. Jian woke up with groggy eyes. It required his whole strength to sat up.

Jian sat up and instead of asking the system, Jian started to run the Cultivation technique to replenish the Qi.

After half hour he was back in top condition and still he felt exhaustion so he took one healing pill.

Jian asked, "System why did the refinement failed."

The system said, "Host your mold was not good enough to hold purified Ore. When you transferred Ore it couldn't handle the temperature and its foundation was not strong to hold."

Jian knew there were other mistakes also. Jian knew he made blunders thinking that it was easy to refine the weapon.

Jian recalled the process of refining and found that the stress was already doubled without even using the Star Gaze and thought about what will happen if he added it into the mix. He will not able to form the mold.

Jian continued to recall the process and after some time when he was in the top condition he cleaned the wasted materials and took out new and started to refine but the system interrupted him.

The system said, " Host you should not waste the materials. You should try practice to form the mold and use your Qi to stimulate the process. As you can refine the ores yous should focus on forming the mold."

Jian understood that system was saying to practice the molds and use his Qi to increase the temperature in a mold similar to when he connects purified Ore with the mold.

Jian didn't wait he kept the materials back in the inventory and started to practice the molding process.
