With a heavy heart, Chen Daoxuan walked out of the laboratory.

This time, he didn't even carry out the daily routine of refining equipment, so he hurriedly left Yufeng, and he stole his first laziness in five years.

By the time Chen Daoxuan came to the Thirteenth Uncle Cave Mansion again, it was already late.

Raising his head, he glanced at the moonless sky. This was the sixteenth year that he came to this world.

Because he has a mature soul in his body, Chen Daoxuan always feels a little out of tune with this world when he is alone.

"Dao Xuan!"

Just when he was in a trance, an old voice pulled him back.

After returning to his senses, Chen Daoxuan found that the thirteenth uncle Chen Xianhe was standing in front of him, looking at him with concern.

"Uncle Thirteen!"

Chen Daoxuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Chen Xianhe stepped forward, patted his shoulder lightly, and pointedly said, "Son, I'm sorry for you."

Chen Daoxuan was silent.

After a long while, he took out three large and one small four pieces of copper ore from the storage bag: "Uncle Thirteen, this is the ore taken from the copper mine today, as you expected, the copper ore. production has dropped again.”

Although he had expected it, when he heard the news, Chen Xianhe still felt a little uncomfortable.

For the past three hundred years, the copper veins of the Chen family have supported the cultivation of the family monks.

It is about to be completely lost now, not to mention the loss of interests, as the only old man of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island, it is emotionally difficult to accept.

Chen Xianhe can still remember the wanton and unrestrainedness when he was chatting and laughing with his twelve brothers.

Now, with the passage of time, everything seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye.

The clan brothers died on the battlefield, but he, the youngest clan brother, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.

Chen Daoxuan didn't have much affection for the copper ore. In his eyes, the copper ore was just a vein of spiritual ore, nothing more.

Chen Xianhe glanced at the copper ore that Chen Daoxuan handed over, shook his head and said, "You should keep these copper ore for refining and learning."

"Yes, Uncle Thirteen."

Chen Daoxuan bowed to answer the order.

"By the way, how is your progress in learning the refining tool now?"

Talking about Chen Daoxuan's learning of refining, Chen Xianhe couldn't help showing a nervous look on his face.

Hearing Chen Xianhe asking about his level of refining, Chen Daoxuan said solemnly: "There are a total of thirteen types of refining methods recorded in the family's refining heritage, including twelve first-order tools and one second-order.

At present, I have only mastered the refining methods of six first-order low-grade instruments. As for the refining of the other four first-grade middle-grade instruments and two first-grade high-grade instruments, my nephew has not yet mastered them. "

Hearing Chen Daoxuan's answer, Chen Xianhe's eyes were full of relief: "In just five years, it is quite good to have mastered all the refining techniques of the first-order low-grade instruments in the inheritance of the family's instrument refining!"

Chen Xianhe knew clearly that although the family had a heritage of refining tools, no one taught them.

Chen Daoxuan's learning of refining tools is entirely by himself, and Chen Xianhe has a deep understanding of the degree of difficulty.

Because the monks of their immortal generation have all taught themselves the inheritance of the family's second-order weapon refining, and they all can't get in.

The way of refining tools is inherently difficult. In addition to consuming a lot of resources, it also requires someone to teach them to go more smoothly on this road.

This is also the reason why there are almost no alchemists and alchemists in the loose cultivation.

Just one piece of artifact-refining inheritance will keep everyone out of the door, let alone the various resources expended in learning the artifact.

Seeing Chen Xianhe's satisfied look, Chen Daoxuan was embarrassed.

Because he just lied.

In fact, he not only mastered the refining of six first-order low-grade magic tools, but also the thirteen kinds of magic tools in the family's inheritance of refining tools. He only did not master the refining method of second-order magic tools.

In addition, Chen Daoxuan has mastered the refining of all the first-order magic tools in the inheritance of the refining tools.

To be precise, the current Chen Daoxuan is already a first-order high-grade refiner.

It's not that he is clumsy, but the news is too shocking.

The cultivation base is only three levels of qi refining, but the level of refining has reached a level that many senior first-order refiners of the ninth level of qi refining cannot reach, and they rely entirely on self-study.

This is no longer a genius, but a demon!

Of course.

Due to his cultivation, although Chen Daoxuan has mastered the refining method of first-order high-grade instruments, his success rate is still too low to successfully refine them.

The reason is that the first-order high-grade magic tools need to be refined with more first-order spiritual ores, and the refining time is longer. With Chen Daoxuan's infuriating energy and spiritual awareness, it is difficult to support it to the end.

As for the subsequent shaping and fusion, it is not too difficult for him.

He has studied artifact refining for five years, and it is only occasionally that he succeeds in refining a first-order high-grade artifact.

With his cultivation base, there is no pressure to refine first-order low-grade instruments, but it is a bit reluctant to refine first-order middle-grade instruments, and refining first-order high-grade instruments is entirely a matter of luck.

It's not that his level of refining is not enough, but that his cultivation is not enough, and his true qi and consciousness are not enough.

This is also the reason why Chen Daoxuan is so eager to develop a spirit ore furnace.

With the help of this kind of furnace, he can save the consumption of infuriating energy and spiritual consciousness in the stage of refining materials, allowing him to deal with the shaping and fusion of magical instruments more easily.

At that time, let alone a first-order high-grade magic tool, it is a second-order magic tool, and Chen Daoxuan is not unable to try it.

The embarrassed look on Chen Daoxuan's face flashed, and he quickly adjusted his attitude and said sincerely: "My nephew does not dare to take credit. If it weren't for the strong support of the family over the years, my level of refining would not have improved so fast."

On this point, Chen Daoxuan did not talk nonsense.

In the past five years, if the various spirit minerals invested by the Chen family on Shuanghu Island were converted into spirit stones, there would be at least 5,000 spirit stones.

Such a huge amount of wealth, not to mention a loose cultivator, even an ordinary cultivator family can't get it.

In addition to the accumulation of three hundred years, the Chen family of Shuanghu Island still relies on the wealth accumulated by the monks of the immortal generation on the battlefield.

Even so.

Chen Daoxuan's learning of refining tools still brought heavy pressure to the family, so that the patriarch Chen Xianhe had to consider giving up the copper mine and fully cultivate Chen Daoxuan.

Hearing Chen Daoxuan's words, Chen Xianhe nodded with a smile: "Don't take credit and don't be arrogant, very good!"

With that said, Chen Xianhe changed his words, "Daoxuan, you know that our family is poor, so you must cherish the opportunity that the family gives you to learn to refine."

"Remember, nephew!"

then.

Chen Daoxuan reported to Chen Xianhe about the full-scale mining of copper ore, and Yufeng left.

Watching Chen Daoxuan leave.

Chen Xianhe paced back to his cave.

As the current patriarch of the Chen family, although the spiritual eyes in Chen Xianhe's cave mansion are exhausted, in terms of size and style, it far exceeds Chen Daoxuan's cave mansion.

Of course, the reason why Chen Xianhe did not build Chen Daoxuan's cave in a luxurious style was to prevent Chen Daoxuan from indulging in extravagant enjoyment at a young age.

This painstaking effort is destined to be impossible to tell outsiders.

After several turns.

Chen Xianhe walked to a wall made of broken dragon stone.

I saw him stretch out his palm, and with the activation of infuriating energy, the formation pattern on the wall suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, the wall made of Broken Dragon Stone slowly moved away, and the entrance was actually a secret room.

As Chen Xianhe stepped into the secret room, the spiritual light inside was shining, and the densely placed spiritual stones were all about the size of a baby's fist...
