Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 27

Ch 27: Exchange Weapon Refinement Technique

Two months later, Dan Peak, inside the pill refining room at the mountainside, the entire floor of the pill refining room, and the shelves were covered with white pill bottles.

Wei Xing looked at his masterpiece of the past two months and laughed loudly, “Now it’s finally completed, the Weapon Refinement Technique is about to be exchanged!”.

In the past two months, Wei Xing had been working day and night, desperately refining pills. He didn’t know how many times his Spiritual Power had dried up, but he persevered through it all.

For two months, he continuously used the Qi Cyclone to absorb and release Spiritual Power. After repeated use, Wei Xing stopped today and discovered that his Qi Cyclone had become larger. The Qi Cyclone, which was originally the size of a flame, is now the size of a bead.

Looking at the enlarged Qi Cyclone, Wei Xing first repeatedly checked his body and found that there was no problem, only that the Qi Cyclone had become larger. Along with this, the absorption of Spiritual Energy had also increased.

“There’s this benefit too?” Although Wei Xing didn’t know if the enlarged Qi Cyclone was a good thing, he knew that the more Spiritual Energy he absorbed, the more convenient it would be for him to use, which would undoubtedly be helpful for refining pills in the future.

Central Peak, Trading Pavilion.

Wei Xing was still wrapped up tightly, and under the strange gazes of many people, he walked straight to the Official’s office.

However, this time, Wei Xing didn’t throw the pills out like before, because there were too many pills this time. Once they were taken out in full view of everyone, it would inevitably attract attention. Wei Xing didn’t want to attract attention and have others investigate him.

Wei Xing said in a low voice, “Official, I have completed the pills, but there are too many people here, is there a secluded place? I don’t want to attract attention.”

“What!” The young Official’s mouth was agape in surprise as he looked at Wei Xing in disbelief. Of course, he knew what it meant to complete eight hundred Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills in two months.

After reacting, the young Official originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he thought, “This kid can complete the Qi and Blood Replenishment Pill refinement so quickly, which can be considered as adding a lot of merit to me. I can’t afford to offend him, otherwise, if he runs away and the number of pills can’t be completed, the Elder will definitely say that I am incompetent again.”

The young Official stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation with his hand, and said with a smile, “Please follow me to the side room.”

Inside the side room.

With a wave of his hand, Wei Xing released hundreds of white pill bottles from his Storage Bag, instantly filling the entire floor of the side room. However, Wei Xing’s tone was still emotionless, “Please, count them.”

With a wave of his hand, the young Official opened the mouths of about thirty white jade bottles. The pills floated above the bottle mouths, and he took a few over, becoming more and more shocked as he looked at them, “Just what kind of deity is this kid? They are all starting with Middle-Grade Pills. When did such a person appear on Dan Peak!”

After checking, the young Official secretly glanced at Wei Xing a few times, but Wei Xing was wrapped up tightly, only revealing two eyes, and they were closed, so he couldn’t see any emotional changes.

“They are all qualified products, to be precise, they are all Middle-Superior Grade among the qualified products,” the young Official replied to Wei Xing.

After hearing this, Wei Xing opened his eyes. He had been resting with his eyes closed just now, but now that he heard that the pills he refined were all qualified, he couldn’t wait to say, “Then please give me one hundred Contribution Points,” and then gave his identity jade token to the other party.

“That’s natural,” the young Official said with a smile as he took the jade token and gave Wei Xing one hundred Contribution Points. Then he continued, “Brother Jian San likes to make friends from all walks of life and can be considered a big shot in this Qingyuan Temple. I would like to make friends with you, so that it will be convenient for you.”

Hearing this, Wei Xing looked at the other party warily, narrowed his eyes, and finally nodded, “I accept you as a friend. I have something to do, goodbye.”

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, he had already quickly walked out of the side room.

“This person is so strange,” the young man muttered casually.

Wei Xing left the side room, and at the Merit Law Exchange Column, he took out his jade token and stamped it on the ‘Weapon Refinement Technique’.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people, because Merit Laws are very expensive, and ordinary people would not exchange them.

Seeing Wei Xing stamping the jade token on the Weapon Refinement Technique without hesitation, the person next to him quickly advised, “Brother, the Sword Techniques here are the cultivation techniques of the Sword Peak disciples, and their power is enormous. They are the best choice for attacking. If it really doesn’t work, you can choose Formation, Talisman, or Beast Taming Technique to increase your strength. If it’s not good enough, the Pill Technique can still restore Qi and Blood. Weapon Refinement is not only hard and tiring, but if you want to refine a treasure, it will take a lot of time and energy, and cost a huge amount of Spirit Stones and ingredients!”

The people next to him nodded and echoed, “Yes, it’s not easy for you to earn one hundred Contribution Points, so you should think twice.”

Wei Xing just turned around, cupped his hands to the crowd who were advising him, and said in an emotionless voice, “Thank you,” then turned and left with the Weapon Refinement Technique jade slip.

Wei Xing left quickly, leaving a few people who liked to watch the excitement, complaining, “Tsk, look at how strange this person is.”

Dan Peak, mountainside, inside the cave abode.

Wei Xing opened the Weapon Refinement Technique jade slip and looked at the introduction.

“This Weapon Refinement Technique is somewhat similar to the Pill Dao Annotations. The opening chapter is about fire. Similarly, it is about converting Spiritual Power into flames. It’s just that Dan Peak calls it Pill Fire, and this Weapon Refinement Technique calls it Weapon Fire. There is basically no difference. It’s just that Pill Refinement can use Earth Fire, but this Weapon Refinement requires relying entirely on one’s own Spiritual Power to convert it into Weapon Fire,” Wei Xing murmured.

“Good heavens, if that’s the case, wouldn’t the Spiritual Power required for Weapon Refinement be even greater? And that doesn’t even include the ones that are refined and ruined!” Wei Xing now understood why others advised him against exchanging for the Weapon Refinement Technique. It’s not something ordinary people can afford to play with!

“Now I have the Weapon Refinement Technique, I already have Weapon Fire, all that’s left is the raw materials.”

Outside Qingyuan Temple, Wei Xing looked at the Daoist temple behind him, and then looked at the Qingyuan City direction, and headed towards the city.

Wei Xing has now entered the Dao Breath, which can be said to be extraordinary and refined from another perspective. Although Foundation Establishment Cultivators cannot fly with objects like Qi Refining Stage cultivators, they can still briefly hover in the air and land, and then briefly hover again after adjusting their Spiritual Power.

In less than an hour, Wei Xing arrived at the foot of Qingyuan Prefecture City, and specially changed his clothes before entering the city.

Inside the city, at the entrance of a large blacksmith shop.

Wei Xing stood at the entrance of the shop, watching several blacksmiths singing and hammering iron with rhythmic ups and downs, the sound of hammering iron rising and falling continuously.

“Oh, Guest, please come in, please come in. May I ask if Guest needs weapons, or what kind of objects do you want to forge?” A middle-aged man saw Wei Xing wrapped up tightly and standing at the entrance, and did not dare to neglect him.

“Shopkeeper, how do you sell the best iron ingots and steel ingots after forging?” Wei Xing looked at the iron ingots that several men were forging and asked directly.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, obviously confused by Wei Xing’s question, and wondered in his heart, “No one has ever bought these iron ingots and steel ingots before.”

“This…this” The man hesitated.

“What, can’t you sell them?” Wei Xing continued to ask, his tone impatient. At this moment, he didn’t want to waste time here. If he couldn’t sell them, he would just change to another shop.

“It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that I’ve never sold them like this before,” the man said, scratching his head. “In the past, I sold finished products. Now, there’s no fixed price for this in the city. If I sell it to you at the price of finished products, it would be dishonest of me. I still need to calculate the price.”

After hearing this, Wei Xing waved his hand directly and said, “There’s no need to calculate. Just calculate it at the price of finished products. How many good iron ingots and steel ingots do you have?”

“There are some good iron ingots, but steel ingots require thousands of hammers and are extremely difficult to make. There are only a few dozen pounds in the shop,” the man replied.

“Just calculate it at the price of finished products, I want all of them.”

“Ah” The man was obviously shocked, and at the same time excited, “Since Guest is so generous, I won’t cheat you. I’ll calculate it at the price of short knives and swords. The finished price of a short knife and sword made of good iron ingots is one tael each. There are a total of two hundred and thirty pounds of good ingots in the shop, which is a total of two hundred and thirty taels. A short sword made of steel ingots is ten taels each. There are a total of fifty pounds in the shop, which is fifty taels. Adding them together, it’s a total of two hundred and eighty taels.”

Hearing this, Wei Xing was indeed shocked. His impression was still stuck in the modern era when iron was worthless. He never thought that iron here would be so expensive.

“You take out the iron ingots first, I’ll be right back,” Wei Xing instructed, then turned and left.

Wei Xing only had Spirit Stones and pills, but not so much silver.

Li Estate, outside the estate gate.

“Here it comes, who’s knocking on the door?” The servant quickly came out to open the door and saw a person wrapped up tightly.

“Tell your Master to come, and say that an old friend is visiting.”
