To make a formation instrument, not only does the formation master need to have high formation attainments, but also to understand certain skills in refining weapons.

For Wang Ping now, the formation is no longer a problem, but the problem is the refining of the weapon.

He had never been exposed to weapon refining skills before, so he was a complete layman in this regard.

Fortunately, he has joined the Golden Shuimen now, and it is not very difficult to learn some basic weapon refining skills, and it can even be said to be very convenient.

There are basic artifact refining classics in the Jinshuimen library, and there is also an earth fire chamber created by monks in the Jinxia Mountains who personally guide the earth fire to the earth fire. It is very convenient to refine weapons and alchemy.

However, unlike the formation skills that mainly focus on understanding talent, the two skills of refining weapons and alchemy focus more on proficiency, which is often said that practice makes perfect.

Even if a weapon refiner or alchemist with poor talent, as long as he refines weapons or alchemy too many times, he can successfully refine magic weapons and elixirs.

Similarly, even the most talented weapon refiners and alchemists need to accumulate a certain amount of failed experience before they can successfully refine magic weapons and elixirs.

There may not be many formation masters of Jinshuimen who can earn any spirit stones through this skill.

But those weapon refiners and alchemists must have been in debt or are still in great debt!

These two skills are nicknamed "noble profession" by many immortal cultivators, which means that they do not have a rich background in wealth, so it is best not to think about learning these two skills.

After Wang Ping personally started learning to refine weapons, he understood why this skill was nicknamed "noble profession".

Whether it is refining weapons or alchemy, there must be a refining furnace and an alchemy furnace, and it must be a magic weapon-level refining furnace or alchemy furnace.

It’s okay to say that the underground fire room of Jinshuimen can be rented by just paying the spirit stones, and the cost is not too high.

However, the materials required for refining weapons are very expensive.

Taking fine iron, fine copper, and fine gold as examples, low-grade materials commonly used to learn weapon refining techniques, only ten low-grade spirit stones can be purchased ranging from seventy or eighty to hundreds of kilograms.

It seems that the quantity seems to be large.

But in fact, these materials are just one piece of palm, weighing 20 to 30 kilograms. The flagpole of a array flag requires at least hundreds of kilograms of mixed materials of fine iron, fine copper and fine gold.

In other words, even if he successfully refines it in one go, including the spirit stones that rent the ground fire room, the cost of a flagpole will cost more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones.

As for the materials used to refine the flags, it is even more expensive.

Generally, the flags of the array flag are woven with magic silkworms, and the spirit silk spiked by demon spiders. The special one is made of silk thread, bamboo silk, and animal hair. One foot of the most ordinary sea silk cloth requires at least ten low-grade spirit stones.

A flag with a formation flag can only be made by one foot of cloth.

By doing this, you can know how expensive it is for Wang Ping to refine a formation flag.

The most important thing is that once he fails to refine, these materials will be damaged and cannot be used any further.

In other words, if he fails to refine it once, he will lose twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones!

After personally experiencing how much energy the refining weapon consumes the spirit stones, Wang Ping understood why some refining shops in the market were even willing to refine magic weapons for other monks who were willing to provide materials for free.

Instead of burning your own spirit stones to improve your weapon refining skills, it is obviously much more cost-effective to burn the materials provided by others for free.

In less than three months, all the 400 low-grade spirit stones prepared by Wang Ping were consumed, but there was no single array flag that was successfully refined.

This cruel blow made Wang Ping once doubt whether he was the material for refining weapons.

At this time, except for the four medium-grade spirit stones on him, the remaining low-grade spirit stones were less than twenty, and all kinds of monster materials had long been sold out.

As a last resort, in order to raise the spirit stones and continue to purchase refining materials, he had to take out a few magic weapons obtained from the pirates and sell them, and exchanged them for about 500 low-grade spirit stones.

After spending nearly 300 pieces of low-grade spirit stone materials, Wang Ping finally refined a finished array flag.

The emergence of this finished array flag has played a great role in boosting Wang Ping's confidence and has also allowed him to find some successful experiences.

In the next six months, he finally successfully refined four array flags and a array plate by selling some hunted golden shrimp materials.

These four array flags and a array plate can form a low-level formation "Eight-sided Golden Sword Formation" and a pure attack and killing formation.

In terms of actual value, a low-level formation similar to the "Eight-sided Golden Sword Formation" on the market is worth about five or six hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The materials Wang Ping spent just after spending more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

By this calculation, he undoubtedly lost money.

But this is his first time doing it and he has no experience.

When he becomes more and more familiar with the refining of array flags and array plates, the cost will definitely be greatly reduced. If he can control it within 300 low-grade spirit stones, he will be able to earn a lot of spirit stones.

But if he wants to achieve that, he will no longer burn thousands or tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, and it is basically impossible to do it.

After calculations like this, it is obvious that it is more efficient to earn spirit stones by hunting monsters.

So after Wang Ping refined the array equipment of the "Eight-sided Golden Sword Array", he decisively and temporarily stopped burning spirit stones, and he had no spirit stones to continue burning.

At this time, he specifically inquired about the situation on the "Green Algae Sea" and found that since the monster tide incident a year ago, no bad news has been heard, so he tried to go there to hunt monsters again.

But just as he was about to leave, the spirit turtle egg he had always placed in the "Heaven and Earth Shell" hatched.

On that day, Wang Ping entered the "Heaven and Earth Sheep" normally and fed the monsters he raised to avoid them from being too hungry and fighting each other across the border.

But as soon as he entered the "Heaven and Earth Shell", he sensed another thought outside the whistling wind, a much weaker thought.

When he followed the induction and found the little turtle that had hatched for no reason.

This newly hatched turtle is only as big as a palm and is very young.

But after Wang Ping saw it, his face changed suddenly.

Because although this little turtle is still very young, it already has spiritual energy fluctuations equivalent to that of a cultivator in the second level of Qi Refining Stage. It is a truly first-level low-grade monster.

This is undoubtedly a very abnormal thing.

Generally, even the spirit turtle eggs laid by first-level top-grade turtle monsters will not become first-level bottom-grade monsters shortly after they hatch.

Only those turtle eggs produced by turtle demons of the second level or above can do this.

But this is not the real reason why Wang Ping's face changed drastically.

What really changed his face was that some natural red spiritual patterns were growing faintly on the black turtle shell of this little turtle!

A turtle monster with red spiritual patterns on the turtle shell was seen by Wang Ping more than a year ago. It was the Lihuo Xuan Turtle, a fifth-level monster that showed its magic power outside Qixia Island.

Although, we cannot judge that it is the Lihuo Black Turtle just based on the red spiritual patterns on the back of the little turtle in front of us.

However, the little turtle with red spiritual patterns on its back could not be a descendant of a monster like Bixuan Turtle.

So "Gui Sanren" must have been lying. The spirit turtle egg he gave to Wang Ping at that time was not produced by his mount, the spirit turtle.

So why does "Gui Sanren" lie?

What is the reason that he needs to lie and deceive Wang Ping to accept this spirit turtle egg?

The answer is actually very obvious!

Wang Ping is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to guess this.

This is also the most important reason why his complexion changed drastically after seeing the red spiritual patterns on the little turtle's back.

"Sure enough, there is no good thing about pie falling from the sky! Any kind of repaying kindness is a lie!"

"Turt Sanren, what a Turtle Sanren, is so cruel and poisonous!"

Wang Ping looked at the little turtle on the ground with a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger.

Fortunately, he was extremely grateful to the senior "Gui Sanren", who also came from Jinzhu Island, and was deeply moved by the other party's behavior of repaying kindness.

Unexpectedly, all this was the other party's plan, but he was unprepared to be the other party's plan and almost died on the Qixia Island.

If he hadn't had the "Heaven and Earth Sheet" in his hand, he would have put the storage bag and the Spirit Eye Stone into the "Heaven and Earth Sheet" by accident, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Wang Ping now even thought about it with his butt, and he knew that "Gui Sanren" must have done something on the spirit turtle egg at that time, making it look no different from an ordinary spirit turtle egg.

Let’s not talk about his actions, can we hide it from Luo Changsong, the foundation-building monk who searched the inn at that time.

Even if you can hide it, you will definitely have a way to find yourself through this spirit turtle egg, take back the [Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Stalactites] and spirit turtle eggs you gave it to, and kill people to silence them!

This is where he is angry!

He may not care whether "Gui Sanren" admits his kindness that indirectly saved his life.

However, the "Gui Sanren" plotted to murder him in the name of repaying kindness.

This conspiracy in the name of repaying kindness made Wang Ping much more angry than the act of showing his attitude to kill him with real swords and guns.

"This damn old thing, when I succeed in building the foundation in the future, I will encounter him. I must crush his bones and expel the hatred in my heart in this way!"

Except for Li Yun who betrayed him, Wang Ping has never been so annoyed by anyone.

At this moment, the "Gui Sanren" had already been on the list of people who would be killed in the future in his heart.

This time, the incident also gave Wang Ping a profound lesson, which made him deeply distrust those so-called predecessors in the world of immortal cultivation.

Looking back on the past, in the past few decades of his cultivation career, it seems that few of the predecessors in the world of immortal cultivation have come into contact with are good people.

"Black Shark Sanren" can be counted as one, and Tong Yuanli, the manager of the Jinshui Gate Common Affairs Hall, can barely count as half of it. The Uncle Mingkong who has guided his formation can only be said to be not a bad person, and the rest are all vicious and vicious people.

In this intriguing world of immortal cultivation, evil people live more nourishing and longer than good people!

There are actually a few monks who can always stick to their true nature.

Because he accidentally learned that the "Gui Sanren" conspired to plot against him, Wang Ping's trip to "Green Algae Sea" could only be temporarily dispelled.

He didn't know whether "Gui Sanren" already knew about his affairs in Jinshuimen, but he was careful not to make a big mistake.
