Crafting Sect's Sishui City, backyard.
"These are two Primordial Mirror talismans. Our sect's ancestor refined four of them. According to our agreement, two of them will be used as labor fees. Please accept these two, Daoist Li." Shopkeeper Yu Hao handed over the two talismans and said, "Although the Primordial Mirror isn't refined very well, as a magic treasure, its power is much greater than ordinary magic treasures. However, because the materials used are really poor, these two talismans won't be used too many times. I'll tell you this in advance. "
Thinking about it, it was normal. The cultivators of Spirit Bone Mountain were all poor and destitute. How could they have good materials to refine magic treasures? Ye Kong asked again, "How many times can it be used? It won't be over after one or two uses, right?"
"Oh, that's not it. If it's used normally, it can be used eight or nine times without a problem."
Yu Hao's words made Ye Kong feel relieved. One talisman could be used eight or nine times, which was enough. Anyway, the round mirror was useless in his storage pouch. Now that he had exchanged it for two talismans, he was already very satisfied.
Yu Hao was also very satisfied with the materials he refined last time. However, he still wanted to refine more high level materials, so he asked with a smile, "How was the tortoise shell space you refined last time?"
Ye Kong said, "I don't know, I haven't used it yet."
Yu Hao shook his head, "Why not? This is a top quality magic treasure. When I refined it, I didn't expect to be able to refine a top quality magic treasure with a space inside. It can be said to be outstanding among top quality magic treasures!"
It was Yu Hao's first time refining a top quality magic treasure. Naturally, he was proud of it and named it the tortoise shell space. Speaking of the tortoise shell space, it could be said to be his biggest pride since he refined it.
However, Ye Kong was not satisfied and said, "Don't say that. It was originally an offensive and defensive magic treasure, but you refined it into a defensive top quality magic treasure. You still have the nerve to say that? It lost its attack function! "
Ye Kong remembered very clearly that the Core Formation cultivator surnamed Xia took out a turtle shell and used it as a mountain. When it smashed down, half of the city was gone. How powerful was that attack? Now that it had been refined by Yu Hao, it couldn't even attack. How could Ye not be angry? If it wasn't for the fact that it was a top-grade defensive magic tool, he would have smashed the Crafting Sect's reputation.
"You're wrong." Yu Hao shook his head. "No matter what kind of magic tool or magic treasure it is, under the premise that the materials used are fixed, the fewer the functions, the more powerful it will be. That's why there are very few magic tools that can be used for both offense and defense. Most people choose to use a magic tool that can only be used for offense or defense. Some people refine flying swords that don't even have the ability to fly. That's the reason … Moreover, this turtle shell is an excellent defensive magic tool. It was a mistake for that cultivator to refine it for both offense and defense. If he had refined a purely defensive magic tool, perhaps this turtle shell wouldn't have fallen into your hands."
In the end, he was an expert in smithing. Yu Hao's words hit the nail on the head. Now that this turtle shell was a defensive magic tool, there was a space with powerful defensive power inside. If that cultivator Xia had really refined a magic tool with amazing defensive power, Ye Kong wouldn't have been able to kill him. But then again, a cultivator could only refine one or a set of magic tools. If that cultivator Xia had refined a purely defensive magic tool, how could he fight the enemy? Could it be that after reaching Core Formation, he would still use magic tools to fight?
Ye Kong nodded. He didn't want to waste any more time with Yu Hao. Suddenly, he thought of a new problem.
Ye Kong originally thought that Yu Hao was just a shopkeeper in charge of business. Later, he found out that his own turtle shell magic tool was refined by him. It seemed that this person wasn't only a shopkeeper, but also an expert in smithing.
Since he was an expert in smithing, he must be very familiar with all kinds of materials.
Ye Kong asked, "Senior Yu, I want to ask, which ore is the hardest?"
"Hardest?" Yu Hao frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the ore, the harder it is. Only a harder ore can be refined into a tough, unbreakable magic tool. Of course, for beginners, it's best to use ordinary fine iron and fine copper."
Yu Hao thought that he wanted to learn smithing. Ye Kong didn't explain. He smiled and said, "I'm asking which ore is the hardest. Fine iron and fine copper are too soft."
Yu Hao thought, 'Even if it's soft, you won't be able to melt it!' He advised again, "I think you should use fine iron and fine copper to practice. With your cultivation, it's already very good if you can melt fine iron."
When it came to smithing, this guy didn't even have the basic shrewdness. Ye Kong smiled and said, "Senior Yu, I'm not actually smithing myself. I just want to find money for you to do it."
For a person obsessed with smithing, the greatest happiness was to have the best quality materials to refine. When Yu Hao heard that, he immediately said happily, "That's good. The hardest ore is definitely the ten-thousand-year-old meteorite iron. According to the ancient records, there was a piece of hundred-million-year-old meteorite iron in the Cang Nan Continent. Four Mahayana Stage cultivators used spirit fire to burn it for a month … "Yu Hao felt that it was unnecessary. He said self-deprecatingly," I guess you can't get it, and I can't melt it either. "
"Even if there is, I can't afford it." Ye Kong laughed and thought, 'Big brother, I'm selling it to termites. Why do you want to give me a piece of hundred-million-year-old meteorite iron?'
Yu Hao continued, "Even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old meteorite iron is very expensive and rare. You can't buy it even if you have money. So I advise you to find fine iron or fine copper crystals … These crystals are associated with fine iron (copper) ores. After thousands of years, they are formed by the condensation of iron elements. They are extremely hard and are the best material for making high-level flying swords. "
"Oh? What's the price? Where can I buy it? "
"It's expensive. A palm-sized piece can be sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones …"
"Forget it, forget it." Ye Kong was shocked. Give this to those ants to eat? Even if I'm the richest man in Cang Nan, I can't afford it!
"Are there any relatively cheap and hard ores?" Ye Kong asked again.
This kid's question was really weird. Yu Hao didn't know what he wanted. He thought for a while and said, "If you want to talk about cheap and hard, it would be black goldstone. But that thing isn't an ore. It's a very hard stone. But that thing is also very special. When it's mixed into an artifact, it can increase the artifact's toughness. It can also reflect some spells. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either. "
As he spoke, Yu Hao took out a piece of black goldstone the size of an egg from his storage bag. When he saw the black goldstone, Ye Kong almost thought it was the black stone he saw in the Five Elements Formation.
But when he held it in his hand, he realized it was different. It was too light. Black goldstone was much lighter. The black stone that Ye Kong wanted had powder that was heavier than the black goldstone.
"Black goldstone isn't expensive. A piece like this is only a hundred Spirit Stones. But it's too hard. Ordinary people can't melt it …"
"A hundred Spirit Stones for the size of an egg? Isn't that expensive? "Ye Kong said gloomily.
Yu Hao was even more depressed. "Is this expensive? Besides, black goldstone is very durable. When refining an artifact, just a little is enough. This piece can be used to refine seven or eight different artifacts. "
Yu Hao didn't know that Ye Kong wasn't actually refining an artifact. He was feeding it to the golden-winged ants. Ye Kong had seen the appetite of the golden-winged ants. This egg-sized piece was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
"Then what's cheaper than black goldstone?" Ye Kong continued asking.
Yu Hao sighed. "Then it's refined iron and refined copper. There are thousand-year-old, thousand-year-old, and ten-thousand-year-old ones. The prices are different. Do as you see fit."
It seemed like the topic had returned. Ye Kong shook his head. It seemed like he could only talk about this in the future. It was a waste to let the golden-winged ants eat ordinary copper and iron.
