Xu Tingxuan also taught Wang Daoyuan how to forge the deck, ribs, and other parts of the ship. He had already adapted to inscribing a third-order tool pattern.
There was not much difference in forging, quenching, and other processes.
Apart from the core and the keel, he mastered all the other parts in a short time.
Xu Tingxuan smiled and said, "I finally know why the senior who taught me didn't like me and liked a few talented senior brothers.
It's so comfortable to teach smart people. They can learn it once and understand it with just a little bit.
When your refining level is enough, you can learn array formations from Old Drunkard and strive to become a third-order low-grade array master as soon as possible.
Now, our workshop can't refine the keel and core yet. Those experts who can are led by the hall master to refine them in the main hall.
When they are done, they will distribute them to each workshop.
If your array formation level reaches third-order low-grade, you will be able to refine the keel and core yourself. Our progress will be much faster.
The Sect Master and Palace Master had given the order that the first crafting workshop to complete two flying warships would be rewarded handsomely by the entire crafting workshop.
Although they didn't say what the reward was, the sect master has always been generous to disciples who are proficient in the various arts of cultivation. It's not impossible for him to bestow the Yin Yang Purple Jade.
I don't have the ability to refine it in advance, but whether I can take the lead or not will depend on you. "
After saying that, he brought Wang Daoyuan out of the workshop and to the entrance of the corridor.
Old Drunkard was dozing off when Xu Tingxuan kicked him and said, "Stop drinking. This little brother is already a third-order low-grade artificer. You teach him array formations.
His talent is much higher than yours. Back then, when you came to me to learn refining, I taught you for a few years, and you barely reached second-order.
This little brother only took a few days to advance from second-order to third-order. "
Old Drunkard had just opened his eyes when he heard Xu Tingxuan exposing his shortcomings. He scolded, "Old Ghost Xu, you're bullshitting. Don't you know what you're capable of?
When you learned array formations from me back then, you took five years to advance from first-order high-grade to second-order low-grade, and you still have the face to talk about me. "
Xu Tingxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not bicker and let Brother Wang see a joke.
He's also a disciple of an old family and is proficient in alchemy, smithing, and talisman arrays. He's not someone we can compare to.
Don't hide anything. Our hope lies with Brother Wang. "
The old drunkard was startled. "Proficient in all four daos and a descendant of an old family. He's Wang Daoyuan?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "I am indeed Wang Daoyuan. Am I very famous in the Underworld Sect?"
The old drunkard stood up and said, "Isn't that obvious? Fighting against the elite disciples of the Savage Sun Pillar, winning five times in a row, and even heavily injuring Lei Wudao in the end.
We all know that kid Lei Wudao. Back then, his battle prowess was comparable to an eighth level Foundation Establishment cultivator. Now, he's probably even stronger than me and Old Ghost Xu.
Your cultivation is one level lower than his, but you can still injure him. Who among the disciples of the Netherworld Sect doesn't know that you are invincible in the same level?
Oh right, I heard that you can hold your liquor quite well. During the duel between the two sects, did you drink a jug of wine in one go? Let's have a drink sometime. "
Wang Daoyuan took out two jars of Spirit Peach Dew that had been stored in the cellar for twenty years and handed them to the old drunkard.
If she wanted to learn formations from him, she should at least show some appreciation.
There were quite a few that had been stored in the cellar for several hundred years in his space, but taking out several hundred years of wine was hard to explain.
The old drunkard took the wine jug, opened it, and tasted a mouthful, saying, "This is the Wang Family's Spirit Peach Dew, right? It's indeed a good wine. Although it's a little lacking in strength, the effect of recovering spiritual energy is strong enough. The taste doesn't lose to my Drunken Dragon Wine. "
Finished talking, he took out a refined formation plate and a blank formation plate, saying, "You are a high grade Tier 2 formation master. I don't need to teach you the basics.
Just imitate and inscribe formation patterns on this formation plate. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. "
These two formation plates were both refined with metal materials. It didn't matter if there was a problem with inscribing the artifact patterns. He could just refine it again.
Xu Tingxuan also took out a blank formation plate and inscribed formation patterns on the side.
The old drunkard said mockingly, "Old Ghost Xu, don't lose face. After learning from me for several decades, you're still a low grade Tier 2 formation master.
When inscribing formation patterns, always inscribing the artifact patterns. Inscribing formation patterns and artifact patterns together, can that work?
You're just wasting materials by learning array formations. "
Xu Tingxuan ignored him and focused on inscribing the formation patterns.
There weren't many formation patterns on this formation plate. Wang Daoyuan used five to six days and only failed once to complete the inscription.
Although there were many small mistakes along the way, they were all made up under the old drunkard's guidance.
The old drunkard laughed, "Old Ghost Xu, do you see that? Don't waste time. You're not cut out to learn formations. Why don't you just focus on refining? "
In the following two months, the old drunkard taught all the formations needed to be used on the flying warship. Wang Daoyuan also learned them all.
Of course, this was refined on ordinary materials.
The flying warship's core and keel had to be inscribed with many formation and artifact patterns, densely covering the entire material.
The biggest problem was to ensure that the artifact patterns and formation patterns didn't interfere with each other.
Therefore, Wang Daoyuan was still far from actually refining a flying warship.
Moreover, refining a flying warship wasn't as simple as refining a flying boat. Every material had to be refined into a low-grade tier-three magic artifact.
If he were to do it himself, he might not be able to complete it in ten years. This was under the condition that he had ready-made materials and could save the process of purifying the materials.
Refining a flying warship required many artificers. Just in the East First Crafting Workshop alone, there were seven or eight tier-three artificers and more than ten tier-two artificers as assistants. These were only the people who refined the non-core structure of the flying warship.
If he couldn't refine it in large quantities, it would be better to nurture a few Zifu Realm cultivators than to raise so many artificers.
However, if he were to refine a low-grade tier-three flying warship on a large scale, he would need to consume countless tier-three materials. Ordinary factions wouldn't be able to afford such a price.
Wang Daoyuan originally wanted to refine a tier-three flying warship for fun, but now it seemed impossible. He couldn't even gather the materials.
This was also the reason why the Underworld Sect didn't worry about the artificers and formation masters of the affiliated clans. Even if they gave out the entire refining method, no clan would be able to refine it.
It didn't matter if they sold it to other factions. Any faction that had the ability to refine a flying warship didn't lack the refining method.
Seeing that his artificer and formation skills were up to standard, Xu Tingxuan and Old Drunkard brought him to an extremely spacious refining workshop.
There was a metal pillar that was more than thirty meters long and one meter in diameter. There were many holes on it.
Xu Tingxuan smiled and said, "Brother Wang, this is the embryonic form of the dragon bone. The two of us aren't proficient in both Daos, and our cooperation isn't that good either. We don't dare to act rashly."
After saying that, he handed over a piece of beast skin and said, "This is the refining method of the dragon bone. The two of us are proficient in only one Dao, but this dragon bone is a mixture of artifact and formation patterns. It's hard for us to even look at it.
Now that we have you, an expert proficient in both artifact and formation, we can refine the dragon bone.
Since you're proficient in both Daos, you know how to prevent the artifact and formation patterns from interfering with each other. You'll take command. Old Drunkard and I will do it. If there's anything wrong, you'll take action. "
Wang Daoyuan spent over ten days to understand the formation and artifact patterns on the dragon bone.
He then began to instruct the other two to engrave the formation and artifact patterns on the dragon bone.
In order to prevent the formation and artifact patterns from interfering with each other, the engraving position couldn't be wrong at all.
After the engraving was completed, they had to embed materials that would facilitate the passage of spiritual power into the artifact and formation patterns.
After the embedding, they had to use the powder of the materials used to refine the dragon bone. After smelting, they had to seal the artifact and formation patterns.
The entire dragon bone looked like a single entity. There were no traces of artifact and formation patterns on the outside.
This way, they could prevent the artifact and formation patterns from interfering with each other to the greatest extent. Moreover, they could protect the artifact and formation patterns and prolong their lifespan.
The three of them used a month's time to complete the refinement of one dragon bone.
