“Does Brother Shi usually refine weapons at home?
Song Jie glanced at the rows of weapon racks in the yard, on which were placed one after another well-made weapons and armor.
Shi Lei laughed and nodded: “Exactly, I transformed the guest room into a refining room and hired an array master to set up a one-way soundproof array.
“The sound inside can’t be transmitted out, but the sound outside can be transmitted in, so you don’t have to worry about the sound of refining the weapon disturbing the neighbors.
“Come on, let me show you around my refining room.”
“You two have a good chat, and I’ll prepare dinner.”
Seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, Li Caiwei left a word and went to the kitchen behind to prepare tonight’s food and drinks.
“Your sister-in-law’s cooking skills are indeed quite good. You should eat more tonight.”
“Then I have to look forward to it, hahaha…”
The two of them were laughing and chatting as they walked into the refining room that was converted from a guest room.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Jie saw a large furnace with orange-red molten iron flowing in it, and billowing heat waves hit his face.
Next to the furnace, there is an anvil, and various forging tools are placed beside it, such as the most common hammers, pliers, carving knives, etc.
To be honest, Song Jie felt that this weapon refining room was a bit different from what he had imagined.
For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether this was a refining room or a blacksmith shop…
But when you think of yourself using an iron pot to make elixirs, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept.
“Brother Song, just now you saw rows of weapon racks in the courtyard.
“Those weapons and armors were all made by me in this weapon refining room.”
Shi Lei proudly introduced his weapon refining room to Song Jie.
“Brother Shi is really good at his craftsmanship.” Song Jie sincerely praised him.
His words were not polite, but came from the bottom of his heart.
In the previous life-and-death fight with the man in the bamboo hat, if he didn’t have the silver-scale soft armor to resist the damage, he would probably have died.
Shi Lei laughed and said: “Brother Song, you are not bad either. Not only are you talented in alchemy, but you also have a good mind in business.
“Your previous suggestions on signs and logos are indeed very useful.
“Brother, I have always wanted to find a chance to get to know you and thank you in person, hahaha…”
Song Jie smiled and waved his hand, “It’s just a small suggestion.”
“This is not a small suggestion, since our family has made a sign and logo according to your suggestion, Brother Song.
“The business is much better than before. I heard from my wife that there are many customers who only recognize our weapons.
“When Brother Song goes back later, you can go to the yard and pick out a weapon or armor you like. It will be a meeting gift from me.”
Hearing this, Song Jie quickly shook his head and said, “How can you be so embarrassed? Weapons and armor are too expensive.”
I had already received the silver scale soft armor from Li Caiwei before. If I take another weapon or armor from the other party now, I will really feel regretful.
The meeting gift he gave to Shi Lei was only a first-grade Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill, which was only two spiritual stones based on the selling price.
A weapon or piece of armor costs at least thirty or forty spiritual stones.
The value difference between the two is too big, so Song Jie will definitely not accept this meeting gift.
“Weapons and armor are just like spiritual stones, they are just external possessions, they are valuable or not.
“It’s rare to have a close friend in life. Brother Song and I got along well after chatting with each other. This is much more valuable than a weapon or armor.”
Shi Lei’s face was stern, as if Song Jie didn’t accept the greeting gift, he would be impatient with him.
Seeing Shi Lei’s resolute attitude, Song Jie thought about it seriously and said, “Brother Shi, I can’t give you any valuable gifts now. If I take a weapon or armor from you, I will really feel uneasy.
“How about this, I still lack an alchemy furnace. You help me build an alchemy furnace, and I will pay for the materials.
Shi Lei thought about Song Jie’s words and felt that they made some sense.
Rubbing his chin, he nodded and said, “That’s okay…”
“But brother, with my current level of refining, if I were to build a first-grade alchemy furnace, the chance of failure might be a bit high.
“The difficulty of building a first-grade alchemy furnace is much higher than that of ordinary first-grade spiritual weapons.
“So brother, I guess I can only help you build an inferior alchemy furnace.”
Even if he wanted to help Song Jie build a first-grade alchemy furnace, his level was indeed limited. If he forced it to be built, he didn’t know how much refining materials would be wasted.
“That’s enough. I have just started trying to refine a first-grade elixir, but I really can’t stand the terrible failure rate.
“That’s why I thought about building an ordinary alchemy furnace to slightly increase the success rate, so that I can be promoted to a first-level alchemist as soon as possible.”
It has only been seven or eight days since he obtained the first-grade elixir recipe.
If anyone knew that he had successfully refined a first-grade elixir so quickly, I’m afraid it would attract a lot of attention.
Song Jie feels that one can be high-profile, but one cannot always be high-profile.
Recently, I have been in the limelight enough. If I go too far, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
So he decided not to worry about letting others know that he was already a first-level alchemist for the time being.
You can wait a few more days and show your identity as a first-level alchemist to the outside world the next time you go out to the stall.
Shi Lei laughed, “If it’s just an inferior alchemy furnace, I can build it successfully in one go.
“I wonder if Brother Song has any special requirements for the alchemy furnace? For example, shape, size, focus, etc…”
“I still need to think about this and give Brother Shi a reply in a few days.”
“No problem. I refine weapons at home almost every day anyway. Brother Song can come to me at any time.”
“Then I’ll thank Brother Shi in advance~”
“My brother, why are you so polite…”
After the matter of the alchemy furnace was settled, under Song Jie’s curious inquiry, Shi Lei explained the general steps of refining the weapon, and Song Jie listened with great interest.
Unfortunately, even as a monk, his energy is still limited.
If you can delve to the extreme on a path, it will be extraordinary.
Song Jie is just a beginner in alchemy. Even if he has some interest in weapon refining, it is impossible for him to study both alchemy and weapon refining at the same time.
Unless you have endless skill points, you can delve into alchemy and weapon refining at the same time.
Even adding immortal skills such as making talismans and puppets is not a problem.
But the reality is that his skill points are not unlimited. Just making alchemy is enough for him to study.
Then the two chatted about some topics between men, laughing from time to time.
Unknowingly, the relationship got closer, and there was a feeling that it was too late to meet each other.
“It seems that brother Song has the same preferences as me. They both like big ones, hahaha…”
“What are you talking about? Who likes big ones?”
When the two were chatting animatedly, Li Caiwei suddenly appeared and looked at the two of them with an unkind expression.
A woman’s sixth sense told her that the topic these two men were talking about might not be that serious…
