Chapter 67: Qualification Exam
The forms are all spiritual tool refinement commissions on the school's official website. Don't think that just because the school has a lot of spiritual tool refiners, there won't be a phenomenon of shortage in supply.
In fact, there are more martial artists than spiritual tool masters in school! The counters of the school's shopping mall have many options for spiritual energy weapons, but close combat weapons are rare because once they are put out, they will be bought away. Or it can be said that martial artists have higher requirements for weapon selection, especially these martial artists in school, their vision and requirements are much higher than those outside. So, most of them will choose to hang entrustment and find spiritual tool masters to tailor-make their own close combat weapons.
Yang Tong searched through the commissions for a while, carefully comparing them, before finally understanding why there were fewer close combat weapons than mental force weapons. Because they were really too cheap, the spiritual tool masters basically didn't have any profit to speak of, and still had to meet the commission requirements, which was simply a waste of energy.
For example, one of the commissions was to customize a three-product golden-level close combat spear, six feet seven inches long, with fire attributes, and the sealed secret technique was: Burning Technique, Fire Gun Technique. This requirement is not difficult, but the price is only ten school points. This made Yang Tong collapse, because the Qingfeng sword in Yang Tong's hand was only silver level, and the two auxiliary secret techniques were bought for twenty-five school points. In comparison, the profit difference between the mind-force weapon and the close combat weapon was immediately revealed.
Of course, there are also high-level pending orders. Among the three spiritual artifacts, the highest one is to buy a nine-ring great knife with 50 academic points, and the requirements are quite harsh. He requires that it can seal his own yellow-grade advanced martial skills, saving more than 20% of spiritual power consumption.
The depleted armament, this is even more difficult than the golden-grade long gun, which requires the spiritual instrument master to have a very deep understanding of energy circuitry. The depletion is not enough, it also requires sealing one's own attribute martial skills, isn't this making things difficult for people?
Sealing techniques are fine because there are established rules and methods for engraving seals in "Sealing Studies". As for sealing martial skills, this requires the practitioner to have a solid foundation in "Sealing Studies", reaching this requirement, as long as the level of "Rule Secret Pattern Studies" is up to standard, basically after that, refining sixth-grade and seventh-grade spiritual tools will not be a problem.
Of course, the real six-product and seven-product spiritual instruments, because they have instrument spirits, can delete the sealed martial skills and secret techniques on the weapon at any time, and then re-seal new secret techniques and martial skills by the master.
Low-grade spiritual tools can also seal martial skills, and the refining requirements are much lower. After sealing, they will exist permanently and cannot be deleted.
Oh, right, there's one more thing that needs to be explained. Except for spiritual tools above seventh grade, due to material and power issues, which have certain requirements for the cultivator's cultivation level, in theory, even a terrestrial-level spiritual tool master can refine spiritual tools below seventh grade.
Because modern spiritual masters have precise manufacturing instruments to assist them, they can perform many operations that exceed their own cultivation.
Yang Tong casually found a proxy, bought five academic points of materials, and began to try to refine a three-product golden-grade close combat weapon by himself. The dryness of the weapon was refined according to that long gun.
Yang Tong rushed into the spiritual tool manufacturing room and stayed there for three days.
Three days later, Yang Tong walked out from inside with a long gun in his hand, looking wolf-like. However, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
That six-foot-seven-inch-long spear made of third-grade golden quality has been forged.
This is the first real spiritual tool refined by Yang Tong. The previous one or two products of spiritual tools were just toys for practice and cannot be considered formal works. Only weapons or defensive equipment that use their own spiritual power to drive and exert their power can be considered true spiritual tools.
Refining is possible, but the cost is frighteningly high. Yang Tong refined this long gun three times, with two catastrophic failures and one successful refinement to white silver level, using a unique sealing technique. In short, it was a huge loss.
Yang Tong finally understood why there were fewer close combat weapons because they were not only cheap, but also unprofitable, and even if the failure rate was taken into account, it would be a huge loss.
The goods have been refined, but Yang Tong is not qualified to accept the commission and does not qualify to set up a counter. The refined products cannot be put on shelves.
"3170, help me apply for a qualification certificate assessment." Yang Tong directly applied for an assessment of a certificate to start his money-making plan.
"You have one free chance to apply for the exam, are you sure you want to apply?" 3170 asked formulaically.
"Alright!" Yang Tong nodded in response.
"Beep... The application has been sent out, please wait for a response." 3170 replied.
"After a while, 3170's voice sounded: 'Received notification, Master, you will report to the Teaching Department in two days and take an exam.'"
Yang Tong entered the practice room, adjusted his state for a while, and opened his Heavenly Eye. His Heavenly Eye gazed up at the sky, where heaven and earth were composed of countless laws. Yang Tong's entire being entered a state of selflessness, quietly contemplating the Way of Laws.
After a moment, the effect of Tianyan disappeared. More than an hour later, Yang Tong finally woke up from his meditation and sighed softly: "Another 1 million was wasted."
Since half a month ago, after accidentally grasping the mysterious origin of the law pattern, Yang Tong felt that he had changed in some ways compared to before. Since then, he has opened his heavenly eye seven or eight times, but without exception, all were in vain.
"Master, you need to calm down now. The Heaven's Eye is not omnipotent. It can allow you to touch the edge of a law during the foundation-building period, but your cultivation is too weak. Wanting to make further progress on this basis in the short term is basically impossible. What you need now is to settle and digest, to absorb and consolidate. You can consider cultivating to improve your cultivation, or start practicing alchemy to refine magical treasures." Lu Bao reminded at this time.
Yang Tong listened and quickly calmed down, simply deciding to rest for now, going back to the bedroom to sleep soundly before doing anything else.
On the third day, Yang Tong drove out of the house and sped towards the teaching office.
In just two days, Yang Tong walked out of the examination room with his head held high and a proud chest, with an additional badge-like certificate on his chest that read "Spirit Master Qualification".
"Hahaha...... I've finally become a true Spirit Master!" Yang Tong laughed happily, his childhood dream had come true. Now Yang Tong's goal was to earn contribution points, and apart from that, he just wanted to continue getting stronger.
Yang Tong knew he was still in the "newbie protection period" and at the bottom of the high-level world of cultivators.
Having obtained the spiritual tool master's professional qualification certificate, it can be guaranteed that Yang Tong will maintain a "super excellent" year-end evaluation in school for at least ten years.
Because the earliest time for a student to obtain a professional qualification certificate as a spirit master was in their tenth year after enrollment, Yang Tong only used about two years. Director Huang was overjoyed and awarded 200 academic points.
