Zhang Yu looked at the azure sand level 1 (0/10) on the Yu book, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the long road to refining weapons in the future.
But the next moment, a chill surged in his heart with the power of the ritual, reminding him to keep working hard and interrupting the exclamation in his heart.
Zhang Yu immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts and began the second refining of azure sand.
"Bought the copyright, rented the laboratory and equipment, and spent a total of nearly 1 spirit coin on me.
Zhang Yu looked at the time, the first refining of azure sand took about 20 minutes, and he rented a total of 6 hours of laboratory and equipment.
"Continue to refine!"
Zhang Yu immediately lifted his breath and rolled it towards the materials on the side.
This time Zhang Yu's movements were much more skillful, and he swept out with a lot of energy, operating materials and tools at the same time.
Zhang Yu felt that the process of refining the weapon of Tianqing Sand was quite similar to his usual practice techniques.
It was just that he treated the raw materials in front of him as his physical body, using various immortal techniques to transform them, and finally obtained the desired immortal dao effect.
And the process of progress is like the more skilled the exercise, the stronger the effect of the shot. The higher the refining level of this azure sand, the better the effect of the finished product will be.
Ye Xingli on the side watched Zhang Yu start the second refining of azure sand, she didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly she frowned slightly and said, "Is the amount of ore a little less?"
Zhang Yu smiled and explained: "I want to save some material costs, so that I can refine a few more times."
Ye Xingli dissuaded: "The amount of ore is different, and the subsequent operation steps, including the use of qi and mana, and the heat of the furnace, are all different."
"Novices should do it all according to the standard share, and then consider adjusting the portion size yourself when you level up."
Zhang Yu naturally did not accept Ye Xingli's proposal.
Ye Xingli looked at Zhang Yu's refusal to listen to persuasion, so she shook her head and didn't persuade her any more, but said secretly in her heart: "This kid...... The talent for refining weapons is ordinary, but his temper is quite stubborn."
But Ye Xingli is not surprised by this, novices are often like this.
Especially novices who have already achieved good results in other fields are always full of confidence and often have to plant a few more somersaults in the field of refining tools in order to learn to be down-to-earth.
Ye Xingli watched Zhang Yu continue to refine this small amount of azure sand, and in the end, only about half of the materials were successfully refined, and the remaining half of the materials were scrapped.
Ye Xingli shook her head violently, thinking that Zhang Yu should understand now.
But Zhang Yu looked at the azure sand level 1 (1/10) on the Yu book and nodded secretly: "Sure enough, after the amount changes, it can also be counted as once."
Zhang Yu decided to continue to reduce the share and see how much material could be reduced at a minimum, so that Yushu could continue to work.
"In this way, the cost of my refining and cultivation can be further compressed."
While thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at Ye Xingli on the side and asked: "Senior sister, I will refine azure sand anyway, I can't use other things in this laboratory, do you need to use it?"
Ye Xingli was also moved when she heard this.
It's not that she wants to save money, thinking about saving a lot of money on the rental cost of the laboratory, after all, this little spirit coin is nothing to her.
Instead, she stood aside and looked at Zhang Yu, idle and idle, so it was better to hurry up and do something of her own.
A little spirit coin is not important to her, but a few more hours of study and practice time is important to her.
Ye Xingli nodded: "It just so happens that I have been adjusting the Dharma skeleton on my body recently, and I can indeed use the equipment here."
"I won't take advantage of the rent of the laboratory, we can just split it equally."
"If you have any questions about refining weapons, you can ask me at any time."
Zhang Yu watched Ye Xingli disassemble his right arm, fiddled with the arm with his breath, and then sent it to the instrument on the side, observing the data while injecting special mana.
Zhang Yuxin said: "The things I am refining so far are too simple, and it is still too wasteful to use the laboratory alone."
"If you can rent the laboratory with others in the future and share the rent equally, you will be able to save another amount of spirit coins."
Since successfully completing the first refinement of azure sand, Zhang Yu has been thinking about how to consume fewer spirit coins to promote his path of refining.
"If you can still sell the azure sand, maybe you can make a lot of money?"
But soon Zhang Yu denied this idea: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to make money, and I can only get back one blood at most."
Zhang Yu knows that azure sand is the most basic thing, and many companies and factories have long reached the point of mass production and assembly line production.
Not only is the cost lower than his, but the average quality is still above his.
If he wanted to sell azure sand, he was afraid that he could only get some blood back if he sold it at a loss.
"And if you want to mass-produce, it is impossible under my current conditions."
Zhang Yu knew that whether it was a magic weapon or a Dharma bone, for the production of this kind of thing, he personally refined it one by one, and the mass production of the production line, which were completely two different things.
"If you want to arrange a mass production line, you can either buy a production line or build a production line yourself."
"The former requires a lot of money, and the latter requires much less money, but requires high refining technology."
Obviously, Zhang Yu is not satisfied with these two aspects for the time being.
"Now I'm still laying a good foundation and focusing on improving the level of refining."
Next, Zhang Yu continued to adjust the amount of materials again and again, constantly trying to refine azure sand. In the end, he found that as long as the amount of materials used is more than one-tenth, each refining is completed can make the number of completions of Yushu +1.
He said happily: "Very good, in this way, the cost of practicing the materials can be reduced to 10%."
After trying to adjust the portion, Zhang Yu decided to adjust the movement, time, etc., to see if he could shorten the time it took to refine the azure sand each time.
After all, Zhang Yu knew in his heart that he would use Yu Shu's specialized ability for cultivation and other daily practices...... Logically, it is different.
Just like his previous practice practice, as long as he ran it completely once, he could +1 the number of times, and finally increase the level of the technique step by step.
As for the process of the operation of the exercises, his movements and masses can be deformed and reduced to a certain extent, as long as they remain within a certain range.
Zhang Yu has also been using this method to speed up the speed of exercise practice.
Of course, this function of Yushu is not without flaws.
For example, after switching any exercise to Yushu's specialization, you need to start from level 1 and continuously improve through the number of exercises.
Thus...... Even if Zhang Yu has practiced a lot of similar martial arts, such as various body refining techniques and body protection methods, if he practices a similar technique again, he will not have any effect of passing all the passes, he still needs to start from level 0 like this, stack the number of times again and again, to upgrade up.
Today's refining skills are the same in his opinion.
"It also takes a lot of practice to push the level."
"But the quality and time during the practice process should be compressible."
"This kind of cultivation logic of mine is the same as ordinary people practicing exercises and practicing weapon refining skills...... It's completely different."
Just as Zhang Yu was adjusting the refining process of the azure sand again and again, Ye Xingli on the side would also observe from time to time, and then the more he looked, the more speechless he became.
"Zhang Yu, this guy...... Why are you making a mess?"
"Not only did you save materials, but why did you adjust your movements and time randomly?"
Ye Xingli knew that since the induction and integration of the ten major sects, everything has been standardized and digitized as much as possible, and now all aspects of immortal technology have already been systematically designed.
The same is true for refining weapons.
Unlike the feeling that all sects and sects were handicraft workshops in the past, even the magic weapons refined were only roughly divided into large realms, and there was no detailed level difference.
Today's magic weapon evaluation system and refining process have already been extremely perfect.
If a monk wants to improve his refining skills and create a higher-level magic weapon, he needs to continue to learn and then practice with high quality.
"Zhang Yu, you can't practice so badly."
Ye Xingli couldn't help but remind: "If you want to save practice costs, there are more formal and complete methods, so you don't need to look like this."
"For example, the azure sand you refine can be sold for a refund."
"After all, azure sand is the basic material needed in the process of refining many magic weapons, and many teachers and students in the Refinement Department will accept it."
"You can also use the simulation laboratory in the spiritual world to conduct simulation exercises, which are much cheaper than physical exercises."
Of course, Zhang Yu also knew the money-saving techniques that Ye Xingli said.
But judging from the effect of his current cost reduction, he felt that he could reduce the cost less than the simulation laboratory, and he could also get a part of the finished product of azure sand.
Ye Xingli naturally didn't know what Zhang Yu was thinking, but he introduced other ways to reduce costs.
"It's not just a relatively simple product like azure sand that can reduce the cost for practice."
"The same goes for more advanced magic weapons, in addition to simulating the laboratory, they can also be replaced with low-priced materials and practiced by producing inferior versions."
"And the higher-end magic weapons, after completing the first refinement, can also be maintained, adjusted, and strengthened again and again to improve the level of refining skills, so the cost is much less."
"For example, my master's Nine Heavens Yuanyang Pagoda has been tempered, repaired, and strengthened again and again, and the magic weapon level has been refined all the way from level 31 to level 40."
"In this process, Master's refining skills have also been greatly improved, and the manufacturing technology of the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Pagoda has reached level 40."
Zhang Yu knew that the manufacturing technology of the so-called Nine Heavens Yuanyang Pagoda reached level 40, which meant that when the materials and production environment were complete, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch could already directly manufacture the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Pagoda with a magic weapon level of 40.
"But this thing is very expensive when it sounds like a name, and it must take a lot of effort." Zhang Yuxin said: "Unless someone pays a high price, I am afraid that the Magnetic Pole True Monarch will not easily produce the second one."
Ye Xingli actually has another important way to save money, that is, to participate in the school's refining project, use the project funds to purchase materials, rent venues, and purchase equipment, and promote her own refining cultivation.
After all, the refining industry is really too expensive, even if Ye Xingli is already very rich, he always feels that the money is not enough to spend, and the refining budget is always exceeding.
So basically every one of them has participated in various different refining projects.
Asking for funds seems to her to be an essential skill to become a strong person in refining weapons, and it must be learned.
However, Zhang Yu, as a civil engineering student, was still at the level of a beginner, and it was too far away from these, so she didn't say anything at all.
And just when Ye Xingli was admonishing Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu finally completed the refining of azure sand again.
Azure Sand Level 2 (0/20)
