Chapter 79: Crazy Refining (Second Update Seeking Recommendation)

  Zhao Zhengfeng took one look and was immediately speechless. Just by looking at this list, he could guess how expensive this long gun must be.

  However, Zhao Zhengfeng also knew that Yang Tong did not extort him. As a member of the aristocracy, he understood the market better than Yang Tong. To ask someone to specially design and forge a piece of equipment, especially using a unique skill, would indeed require a very high price. Moreover, a fourth-grade spiritual artifact was indeed more than three times more expensive than a third-grade one.

  "Hmm, I don't have that many points, can I exchange these for high-quality crystal stones instead?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked after thinking for a moment.

  "It's okay." Yang Tong replied, high-quality crystal stones are better, Yang Tong was very clear that the high-quality crystal stones in school could be exchanged at any time, but outside, high-quality crystal stones were not always available for exchange.

  "Alright, what are your plans for the future?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked.

  "You probably know that I can already refine fourth-grade spiritual equipment. I plan to continue studying the manufacture of spiritual equipment, and my research direction may shift towards defensive spiritual equipment, earning a large sum of money." Yang Tong replied with a smile. This was indeed true, as Yang Tong's cultivation progress had slowed down significantly. The Nine Turns Primordial Meridian had compressed and purified his true yuan by ten thousand times, but it had also slowed down his cultivation speed. Cultivation wasn't something to be rushed, as steady progress was the key. However, when it came to refining equipment, Yang Tong needed to put in more effort, because after reaching the Core Formation stage, he would need to refine a personal treasure that suited him perfectly, and this couldn't be taken lightly.

  "Oh? Is that so? That's great, good armor is more expensive and harder to make than weapons. No matter what the finished product is like, I will represent the Zhao family in buying it all." Zhao Zhengfeng said with delight. The good stuff can be left for personal use, the ordinary goods can be sold out, making money, increasing reputation, and also hitting the enemy's business.

  "Alright, no problem." Yang Tong nodded in response.

  "Alright, let's settle the bill first. Check it out, I've already transferred the money and points into your account." Zhao Zhengfeng said.

  Yang Tong took out his ID card and checked it, and indeed, the mercenary guild's points had been converted into contribution points, thirty contribution points. And there were also two million extra spirit coins in his account. Next, Zhao Zhengfeng took out five high-quality crystal stones and handed them to Yang Tong, then bid farewell with a gun and left.

  Fourth grade, there is no more theoretical cultural knowledge to learn, only some supplementary history courses and geography explanations, and more are the explanation of secret skills and martial arts techniques.

  At the same time, students of spiritual tools also have practical courses to learn, which are taught by masters invited by the school to make spiritual tools on site while explaining them. Compared to the third grade, it's much more concrete and vivid than just talking about it on paper.

  Yang Tong attends classes every morning, studies alchemy on his own in the afternoons, and cultivates his mental techniques at night to improve his cultivation.

  Living a peaceful and fulfilling life, Yang Tong was like a sponge, crazily absorbing all the knowledge that could be learned in school, which was then digested and played out in his own research, even to the point of making new discoveries every day.

  Even Yang Tong had also studied array techniques, not because he wanted to change his profession to become an array master, but because a refining master who didn't know arrays couldn't possibly refine good magical artifacts.

  Yang Tong, while diligently studying the refinement of artifacts and formations, also began to learn about the forbidden knowledge of ancient Xian civilization. In fact, formations and forbidden knowledge are one and the same; formations are just another name for forbidden knowledge, and forbidden knowledge is just another name for formations - they just manifest in different forms. When manifested externally, it's a formation; when manifested internally, it's forbidden knowledge.

  Modern civilization, arrays are very common, it is also a science that expounds the principles of the universe, evolving according to the laws. Divided into thirteen levels, integrated into the life of human civilization.

  Prohibition is not only used for refining equipment, but also a means of attack and defense. Proficiently using prohibition is actually similar to using laws in some sense. Prohibition is a mature, systematic existence, which can be broadly divided into 72 Earthly Prohibitions and 36 Heavenly Prohibitions. These 108 prohibitions can further extend and change into countless prohibitions.

  To refine the Benming Fahuo, it is naturally necessary to have a very high level of formation refinement, in order to set up a strong enough seal that will give the Benming Fahuo a good foundation from the start.

  Yang Tong started to frantically refine equipment, and one by one, defensive spiritual artifacts were manufactured. Yang Tong's speed was frantic, producing one defensive spiritual artifact per day, without regard for quality, only seeking quantity.

  Anyway, these defensive battle clothes were all made by Yang Tong for the sake of experimenting with formations and were hastily refined. At first, the losses were great and there were many failures. In the end, Yang Tong had to use the Panlong Purple Gold Furnace to refine them due to cost considerations. With the help of the Innate Fire Seed and the Law Treasure Tripod Furnace, the success rate greatly increased. Various ingenious ideas and formation combinations were tried one by one, and even Yang Tong integrated a piece of Earthly Suppressing Forbidden Technique into a defensive spiritual device. This device suddenly transformed and became a three-star golden-grade defensive battle clothes. This was Yang Tong's first time refining a golden-grade battle clothes.

  After gaining experience, Yang Tong no longer used the Earthly Forbidden Technique, but instead attempted to create a Golden Grade Battle Armor using modern civilized array formations based on his own understanding and experimentation.

  Yang Tong is skilled at refining weapons, but not good at refining defensive spiritual equipment. The key to refining defensive spiritual equipment lies in the formation method, and without a deep understanding of the formation method, it is impossible to refine good defensive battle clothes. Therefore, on the school's Lingwang cabinet counter, there are very few defensive war clothes for sale.

  Weapons are divided into close combat weapons used by Wu Ling and mental force weapons used by Shen Nian, but defensive equipment is not divided by profession. Generally speaking, those who refine defensive equipment into spiritual instruments are also qualified array masters. Of course, this can only be considered qualified, not necessarily excellent. And an excellent array master may not necessarily be a qualified spiritual instrument master.

  To become a superior person, one must be able to endure loneliness and solitude, and pay ten or hundred times more hard work. It's not that having ancient heritage guarantees success.

  Zhao Zhengfeng visits Yang Tong once every half year, and receives a large pile of defensive spiritual tools, mostly silver-grade, with only a few gold-grade ones. However, the quantity is quite enormous, which makes Zhao Zhengfeng look at Yang Tong with even more admiration. This is a pure spiritual tool master, who is extremely crazy when researching, and this is a common trait among the excellent spiritual tool masters he knows.

  Zhao Zhengfeng came every time as if he was bringing goods to wholesale defensive spiritual tools, and Yang Tong did not hand over all the defensive spiritual tools he refined to Zhao Zhengfeng. A few rare treasures were put on the school's counter by Yang Tong, selling for several hundred academic points, which made up for the cost.
