The City of Terror-Chapter 601 - Refining Weapons

Ao Yan praised Wei Xiao Bei non-stop.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit tired.

He had completely cleaned out seven Flame Giant corpses. Other than their loin meat, all of the meat was turned into roasted meat, leaving behind only bones. In total, he made 8 skewers of Immortal Quality roast meat.

Wei Xiao Bei had chosen some Rare-Quality roast meat among them and placed them inside his storage bracelet, while the rest were eaten by Ao Yan.

Seven Flame Giant corpses truly made Ao Yan full. He let out a satisfied belch.

When Wei Xiao Bei bred the more than 20 Digging Pigs, it consumed some flesh. Then he shot out tendrils and completely devoured the remains of the corpses, filling up the Life Altar’s flesh reserves again.

Then, Ao Yan began teaching Wei Xiao Bei.

“My refining skills are something I was born with. Using Dragon Fire…..”

Ao Yan’s opening words made Wei Xiao Bei a bit bitter.

Born with?

Also, after the Dragon Fire in the Dragon Fire Cauldron is used up, it has to be refilled?

Doesn’t that mean that I can’t learn it?

However, Ao Yan’s next words made Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes brows rise again.

“The Dragon Soul on your forehead can replenish the Dragon Fire…..”

Time passed slowly. Suddenly, a change happened in Wei Xiao Bei’s status panel.

The [Weapon Manufacturing (Advanced)] became a bit blurred and the words could not be seen clearly anymore.

“Wha-what is happening?”

Wei Xiao Bei was shocked, but he was immediately lured back by Ao Yan’s words.

It could be said that the weapon refining techniques that Ao Yan was passing to him were exquisite. It was completely superior to the weapon manufacturing back in the Shing Wong Temple.

Wei Xiao Bei was intoxicated from hearing this information and even ignored the changes happening to his status panel.

Who knows how long had passed. Wei Xiao Bei’s understanding of weapon refining had reached another level. Then Ao Yan suddenly closed his mouth and said, “I’m tired. I will sleep first.”

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei finally came to.

He suddenly noticed that the [Weapon Manufacturing] skill had changed to a new skill.

Weapon Refining (Intermediate): This is one of the Immortal Clan’s 36 techniques. Capable of refining magical weapons. Only when the refining reaches the limit can this skill evolve.

Currently, Ao Yan had sunk into slumber. Wei Xiao Bei moved to the Dragon Fire Cauldron and followed the techniques that Ao Yan imparted. He bit his finger skin with all his strength till his finger bled. Then, he smeared the blood on the pattern inscribed on the cauldron.

However, the finger healed too fast. Wei Xiao Bei only traced a few strokes before it had completely recovered. Thus, he had to bite his finger once again.

After biting his finger more than 100 times, the entire cauldron was dyed in blood. Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei pressed on the cauldron. With a thought, the Dragon Fire Cauldron began to gradually turn red. Gradually, the pattern on the cauldron also separated, becoming a dragon-like rune that traveled back and forth.

The duration of this change was short. The temperature of the outer shell of the Cauldron began to rise. Wei Xiao Bei quickly felt heat transmit to his hand. Afterward, even his [Flame Immunity] could not block the heat entering his body.

In just a few seconds, Wei Xiao Bei’s hands were letting out smoke. The smell of hair burning began to permeate the air.

Luckily, the change soon ended.

The rune had landed back down on the Dragon Fire Cauldron.

On the other hand, the temperature of the Dragon Fire Cauldron quickly lowered and returned to its normal state.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei finally relaxed and placed his hand down.

His hands that were already been burned black began to recover with his powerful regeneration.

Wei Xiao Bei became joyful at the connection that appeared between him and the Cauldron.

It must be said that the Cauldron did not have any kind of owner recognition, but the techniques Ao Yan passed consisted of a method that could make any object recognize an owner.

Naturally, this kind of method was a bit inferior compared to the object possessing an owner recognition effect.

In simpler terms, the most Wei Xiao Bei could do was tell where the object was, but it would not return to him by itself no matter how far he was.

Naturally, if he followed Ao Yan and learned more techniques, he might be able to learn a more advanced method.

Wei Xiao Bei could now control the Dragon Fire. Compared to when he had his [Weapon Manufacturing] skill, his control now was far superior. It might not be called free and easy yet, but his control over the fire was a lot more agile and effective.

Ao Yan was still asleep.

Wei Xiao Bei tested a few things, wanting to use Evolution Points to level up the [Weapon Refining] skill.

Normally, Wei Xiao Bei needed to use 100 Evolution Points to increase a skill from intermediate to advanced.

However, when he concentrated on the skill, he felt as if he was filling a bathtub that had its cork unplugged. His Evolution Points were consumed at a speed that he could not imagine.

In just a few breaths time, 1,000 Evolution Points were consumed. When his [Weapon Refining] skill leveled up from intermediate to advanced, a total of 5,000 Evolution Points had been used.

It truly deserved to be called an Immortal Clan Technique.

This speed of consumption of Evolution Points truly stunned Wei Xiao Bei.

However, it was all worth it. Wei Xiao Bei’s mind was now being filled with knowledge on how to refine weapons. New information was appearing.

It took a long time for Wei Xiao Bei to recover.

Since his [Weapon Refining] skill had leveled up, he would naturally try it out.

After sitting in front of the Cauldron, Wei Xiao Bei took out 10 Scarlet Pheasant Feathers and 10 T-rex tooths, placing them inside the cauldron. He used two hands to press on the Cauldron, and the images of what was happening inside the cauldron appeared inside his head.

At this time, the Scarlet Pheasant Feathers and the T-rex tooths floated at the center of the Cauldron.

With a single thought, small flames appeared inside the Cauldron. Afterward, the small flames continued to grow larger. In just a few seconds, the flames had grown to the length of chopsticks. The flames suddenly shook and grew a head, claws, and scales, becoming a chopstick-long dragon.

In short, this weapon refining technique was as Ao Yan’s had said, a Fire Dragon’s innate ability.

Wei Xiao Bei relied on the Dragon Soul on his forehead. He used up stamina and mental strength, as well as circling Qi in his Blood Channels to be able to create the image of the Fire Dragon.

Just like that, the Fire Dragon appeared with a length that was at his utmost limit.

According to Ao Yan, the Fire Dragon that he could make inside the Cauldron was around 100 meters long, which was the same length as him.

Just like that, Ao Yan was able to refine a Rare Quality Arrow in just a short amount of time.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the Fire Dragon he created and shook his head.

Only as long as a chopstick!

Could there be such a large difference between Ao Yan and myself?

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that this was related to a person’s attainment in weapon refining.

He had just taken the first step. Even if he used up 5,000 Evolution Points to make [Weapon Refining] reach an advanced stage, having an equal discussion with Ao Yan was an impossible thing to do.

However, the chopstick-long Fire Dragon was enough to use.

With a thought, Wei Xiao Bei’s Fire Dragon flew toward the T-rex tooth and bound around it. Its whole body erupted in flames, and it also spat out flames, continuing to burn the tooth.

Following the passage of time, the tooth gradually melted and became a gray-colored liquid.

The Fire Dragon continued to spit out flames. Some ash-colored gas began to come out as the ash-gray liquid vaporized. The vaporized liquid rose and flew into an opening on top of the Cauldron. In the end, only black colored slag was left behind.

When the T-rex tooth was completely melted and purified, it had become a fist-sized ball of white liquid.

However, at this time, the Fire Dragon had already shrunk to less than three centimeters.

Wei Xiao Bei stopped refining at this moment. He took out roasted meat from his storage bracelet and ate it. Then, he continued to circulate his Qi to recover.

After all, for Wei Xiao Bei, the thing that helped transform the Fire Dragon was his Qi so controlling the Dragon Fire Cauldron used up stamina and mental strength. If he did not have enough of these two, the refining would fail. The Dragon Fire Cauldron might even break. If that happened, then he would be in some serious trouble.

When his Qi completely recovered, Wei Xiao Bei once again pressed his hands onto the Cauldron. In just a few seconds, the chopstick-long Fire Dragon once again appeared. This time, its head moved toward the Scarlet Pheasant Feathers.

The long process was once again repeated.

The Scarlet Pheasant Feathers were melted and turned into a fiery red liquid. Wei Xiao Bei then once again ate some roasted meat to recover.

Next, Wei Xiao Bei calculated and separated the white liquid into five parts. He urged the Fire Dragon to pull the liquid longer, becoming five white arrows. Then the red liquid was placed on the arrow, becoming its tail.

When the switch was made, the arrow was considered complete.

However, this was only the base of refining a weapon.

After taking another rest, the Fire Dragon was once again restarted. At this time, the Fire Dragon was circling around an arrow. As it circled, a tiny detailed rune appeared.

Naturally, this rune was something he learned from Ao Yan. There were a total of two. The first was to urge the power contained inside the material. The other was to give the arrow the power of the wind.

On the other hand, the more runes that could be placed on the arrow, the stronger it would become.

However, with Wei Xiao Bei’s current level, being able to place three runes on an arrow was already not bad.

Chi!

Suddenly, black smoke appeared on an arrow that was being attached to a rune. It was completely burned down and only ashes were left. Then, it was discharged from the Cauldron.
