Staying in the refining room, Yi Tian felt helpless. Now he knew why Ning Yuxuan asked him to give him a piece of mithril after the mission was completed.
This month's mission was to refine mithril for 40 days.
Every new disciple was given 50 catties of ore, but they were required to hand in 20 mithril ingots.
According to the standards of the Tool Hall, every mithril ingot had to be refined into a square ingot weighing three grams.
However, the requirement for 50 catties of ore was only 6 catties of mithril. One could imagine that there would be a lot left.
As long as his luck wasn't too bad, this mission would still be very profitable.
Looking at the new disciples' indifferent faces, but the old disciples' worried faces, Yi Tian felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly asked around.
So this was a job that depended on one's luck. If the ore was poor, then it would be hard.
At most, it would just meet the requirements of the mission. If you included the consumption of fire, then it would definitely not be enough.
If you couldn't complete the mission, then you would have to use your own contribution points. If you didn't have any contribution points, then you would have to use your free time to be a fire boy in the refining room. That was a tough job.
The duration of the mission was 40 days. After completing it, you could come out earlier or after the deadline, but you couldn't be late.
Every refiner could bring a storage bag in. When you came out, you just had to hand in a sufficient amount. The manager of the Tool Hall wouldn't care about anything else.
Every ore was equivalent to one contribution point. After completing it, it would be a total of 20 points. If it wasn't enough, then it would be terrible. Each ore would have to be supplemented with 2 contribution points.
After hearing the manager's words, Yi Tian broke out in cold sweat. This rule was too scary.
Working hard here for more than a month would only earn you 20 points. If you couldn't finish it, you would lose money.
It seemed that the 200 points he spent yesterday in the Scripture Pavilion was really extravagant.
No wonder Zhuo Ling Feng looked at him with disdain. He probably thought that he was some second generation cultivator. He had to use the remaining 100 points well.
After taking the ore bag, they each chose their own refining room and went in.
Time was tight. Yi Tian didn't dare to be careless. After entering, he saw that the room wasn't small. In the middle was the Earth Core Furnace.
Yi Tian faintly felt that the flames were mixed with Spiritual Qi. There were long benches on both sides that one could sit on, and the innermost area was an open space to rest. Yi Tian looked around and found that he could sit there and cultivate.
There was no point in thinking too much. Yi Tian still had to hurry up. First, he activated the spiritual energy in his hands and directly raised the flame to a height of ten feet. Then, he took out a few small ores from the ore bag and threw them into the furnace. Then, he began to smelt them.
Previously, he had already smelted Mithril in Juxing Village. Although it was only a small piece, he felt that it was about the same.
What's more, his cultivation was still at the fifth level of Refining Tools. Now that his cultivation had improved, he didn't feel tired at all.
Yi Tian calculated that out of fifty catties of ore, six catties of Mithril were produced.
There was no problem with the high-grade ores. He had thrown in about five catties of ores just now. After sixteen hours, he had poured the mithril liquid into the mold and actually made three pieces with some leftovers.
This made Yi Tian extremely happy. At this rate, he would be able to complete it in less than forty days.
However, he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy just now. After a while, he would have to meditate to recover.
While resting, Yi Tian took out the Profound Sun True Fire and the Profound Sun Refining True Record to have a look.
It turned out that the prerequisites for cultivating the Profound Sun True Fire were more stringent than the Scarlet Sun True Fire. Not only did one need to have at least 30% fire spiritual root, one also needed to have at least 20% wood spiritual root.
One needed to use wood spiritual energy to nourish fire spiritual energy in order to improve one's cultivation progress. Moreover, it was more powerful than the Scarlet Sun True Fire.
After pondering for a while, Yi Tian thought that the Scarlet Sun True Fire should have originated from the Profound Sun True Fire.
It should be that the later part of the Profound Sun True Fire was lost. Therefore, the sect's seniors created another spiritual art.
Moreover, the requirements for the cultivator were also lowered.
According to his own situation, cultivating the Qi Refining part of the Profound Sun True Fire was not a problem. However, he couldn't let others see it. Otherwise, he would just be looking for trouble.
It seems that in the future, he could only say that he cultivated the Fire Spirit Art.
If they asked why the power was greater than others, then he could just use the wood and fire dual cultivation as an excuse. In any case, he could not say that he cultivated the Profound Sun True Fire.
After reading the Profound Sun True Fire jade strip, Yi Tian continued to look at the Profound Sun Refining True Record. This refining spiritual art was very detailed, and the inscription diagrams of the artefacts were very complete.
There were also some fourth and fifth order spiritual artefact inscription diagrams, but Yi Tian could not use them now.
Refining spiritual artefacts required the use of natural flames such as the Samadhi True Fire or the Heavenly Spirit Earthly Fiend. If one did not reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would not be able to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire.
Moreover, Yi Tian was not sure if he could control the natural flames of the Heavenly Spirit Earthly Fiend in the Qi Refining Realm.
After looking down, Yi Tian saw a name flash in front of his eyes. He looked back and carefully pondered over it.
He only saw that the Profound Sun Refining True Record clearly stated that the ordinary method of inscribing spiritual artefacts was to use an inscription knife.
However, it would damage the surface of the Spirit Qi and thus reduce the quality of the Spirit Qi. If he used the Samadhi True Fire to inscribe it, then there would be no problem.
At the end, it was recorded that if he used the Profound Sun True Fire Art to refine the Samadhi True Fire, coupled with the Spirit Congealing Inscription Technique, then he could raise the grade of the spiritual artefact by one level. That is to say, the spiritual artefact would become a Level 5 spiritual artefact.
This sudden news made Yi Tian happy, but then he thought about these two spiritual arts that had been in the Scripture Pavilion for so many years, so there must have been someone who had gone to look at them.
However, he did not see anyone from the Chiyang School cultivating them. This was also a mystery.
Looking at the True Record of Refining that he had extorted from Duan Yugang for a hundred spirit stones, it should be the lost part of the Profound Sun Refining True Record.
In the past, his Duan Clan's ancestor must have had a connection with the Chiyang School, but why would it be passed down to Duan Yugang.
Moreover, it was only a third-rate blacksmith who had refined it. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would have to investigate this matter.
Since the Profound Sun True Fire was so powerful, then it must be effective in smelting Mithril.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian's eyes were full of fire. He decided to cultivate the Profound Sun True Fire first. In any case, he had already become proficient in the Spirit Congealing Inscription Technique.
Let's put the True Record of Refining aside for now. I will learn it when I have time. The most important thing right now is to complete this sect task.
In the lobby of the Chiyang School's Artifact Hall, the disciples who had accepted the task of smelting Mithril stood in a line, waiting to turn in twenty Mithril ingots according to the rules.
However, two of the people in front of them did not turn in enough. In the end, they had to use their hard-earned Sect Contribution Points to fill the hole.
Their expressions were as if they had failed to refine an artefact.
The person in front of Yi Tian was called Huang Ziang, who had also entered the Artifact Hall during the three sects' disciple selection. He was not on the same path as Wan Rui.
Therefore, he did not say anything along the way. Moreover, he had passed the assessment at the same time as Yi Tian.
Although he was relatively low-key, he had heard of Ning Yuxuan's strength and knew of his judgment. Therefore, he had some understanding of Yi Tian's refining ability.
Moreover, during the second trial of the Ice Soul Cave, although Yi Tian's group of four was sitting at the entrance to the second floor, someone noticed.
For example, Huang Ziang narrowed his eyes and secretly saw the fierce person behind him sneaking into the second floor. He guessed that the fierce person had gone down to take a look.
He was also clear about the cold air in the Ice Soul Cave. The cold air in the middle of the night blew into his bones.
Although he had opened a protective shield, he still could not completely block it. If not for the fact that he was close to the entrance of the first floor, the cold air there would be slightly weaker.
He estimated that he would have crushed the jade token inside. That Wan Rui was the best lesson for him.
For people who dared to go down to the second floor, they were definitely amazing people. They were still in awe of Yi Tian. At least, he could not do it.
However, Huang Ziang did not have time to think about it. This time, he thought that smelting Mithril would be a simple matter. He did not expect that he would still have a surplus of fifteen kilograms of ore.
Later on, it was all poor ore. Moreover, his spirit energy was not enough, so he even failed once.
The entire spoonful of Mithril juice spilled on the side of the furnace. It was impossible to extinguish the furnace and take out the material.
After forty days, he could only take out nineteen Mithril ingots. The rest would have to be deducted from the sect's contribution points.
Yi Tian at the back saw that the person in front of him was trembling violently. He guessed that he was also an unlucky person.
Moreover, the Artifact Hall's rule was that one could not directly deduct contribution points from the mission.
These were two different things. First, he had to pay the contribution points and then go to the back to receive the mission reward.
If he could not pay, then he could only be a fire boy for half a month. He would not be able to rest.
Thinking about being in the same team as Wan Rui, Huang Ziang felt a burst of worry.
He had laughed at him before, but now they were on the same level. This was only a small matter. It would be troublesome if it delayed his cultivation.
Time was tight for a twenty year old. It was easier said than done to reach the ninth level of Qi Disciple in ten years.
Forty days ago, when Yi Tian was refining, he saw the entire Profound Sun True Fire. Fortunately, the Qi Disciple stage was divided into three levels. They corresponded to the low, middle, and high levels of Qi Disciple.
He was now at the peak of the middle level of Qi Disciple. He could cultivate to the second level. Therefore, he used thirty days to cultivate the first level of Profound Sun True Fire.
But the mission did not wait for anyone. After he finished cultivating, Yi Tian went all out. In ten days, he smelted out the remaining Mithril ingots.
Although there was a lack of Spirit Qi, there were still some Spirit Stones. In the end, he controlled the fire with one hand and held the Spirit Stones with the other to recover his Spirit Qi.
After he finished, he looked at the Spirit Stone slag on the ground. He had used about ten pieces.
Completing the mission was more important. Yi Tian did not care about these things. When the bell outside the refining room rang, Yi Tian took out the Mithril ingots. He counted that there were twenty-five pieces.
It seemed that this Profound Sun True Fire was really useful. It seemed that Ning Yuxuan's request was not a problem. However, he had to ask what he wanted this for.
Seeing that he was about to hand in the mission, the person in front of him was really dilly-dallying.
Yi Tian looked at him and recognized that he came together with him this time. He even came over to greet him on the Sky Patrol Ship.
Counting the Mithril ingots in his arms, it seemed that one piece was missing.
Yi Tian was in a hurry. When he came out, he saw Ning Yuxuan. The two of them nodded to each other. They had already understood each other. They would go out and see each other later.
Huang Ziang was trembling as he held his Mithril ingot to hand in the mission. Suddenly, he saw a hand reach out from behind and put a piece of Mithril ingot in his arms.
He heard Yi Tian say impatiently, "Hurry up, I am still in a hurry."
Huang Ziang took a deep breath and strode forward to hand in the mission.
