Chapter 233 - Weapon Smith Mission
Jian has returned to the sect after everything settling in the city. He has given Yu Yang his team instructions about the recruitment of the disciples.
He even has completed his mission of Appraiser Tower and has passed the exam. He has also gained a token which would allow him to access a Secret realm.
He has discussed with the system about the Secret realm and decided that he would thinking about it after his sect is upgraded.
Jian reached the sect before sunset and he saw that many disciples are focusing on increasing there cultivation.
The disciples on the war ranking have breakthrough and have reached the peak Qi Condensation Realm.
They were only one step away from Foundation Building Realm. Jian was happy about that. He also found out that many other disciples have reached Late Qi Condensation Realm.
Since it was night, he decided that he would rest today and from tomorrow he would focus on completing his weapons smith missions.
The weapons smith mission was completely different from the Alchemy mission. In Alchemy mission he has to refine ten different pills.
But in Weapon Smith missions he doesn't have to refine different weapons like sword, Saber and spear.
To complete the mission he can refine weapons like short sword, long sword, double edge sword and heavy sword. It doesn't matter if the weapons are different he can refine a sword in then different types to complete the mission.
So this was quite easy mission and he doesn't has worry about it as compared to the Alchemy mission.
But he has to learn the design on the weapon so before going to rest he started to simulation of refining the weapons.
[
1. Sword
2. Saber
3. Spear
4. Daggers
5. Light Sword
6. Heavy Sword
7. Short Sword
8. Gauntlet
9. Long Sword
10. Shield

Jian has decided to refine these ten weapons. He has refined only first four weapons and remaining weapons he has not tried to refine them.
So before going to rest he was going to practice them one by one. So the he started with the sword type weapons because only small difference were there in refining them.
So he just has tonlearn on how to create different types of sword sword he will be able to complete the mission easily.
So he started to check the design of the light Sword. As it's name suggests the weight of the refined Sword would be very light and the attacks created by this type of Swords will based on speed.
It will create faster attacks. To refine thos type of Sword the design was slim and the ores used were light weight but hard.
Jian didn't had to go through the simulation for many times. In only few time he was able to successfully refine the weapon without collapsing the design.
He immediately went on to the next Weapon which was heavy Sword. This type of Sword required heavy ores and the design was also large.
The process was similar it just that the design was large as compared to other weapons.
After that he went to long sword and and short sword. It was similar to the normal sword but the difference was in there sizes.
He had trouble refining this weapons in simulation but after few tries he had learned haw to refine.
Then he started the simulation of the shield, this is for the first time he is refining shield. He had seen several shields in the Soaring Cloud Pavilion but they were quite old.
Most cultivators don't prefer shield as there weapon.
Even though it was one of the simplest weapon to refine. It was quite hard to balance it. Because the shield to graded as One Star weapon have to be able to survive attacks several times.
The shield should be sturdy and in life and death situation it should be able to save the cultivators life.
So that's why many cultivators don't buy the shield and if they buy the shield then they should have guaranteed that the shield will be able to save there life in difficult situation.
So for the mission Jian had to create a proper shield. The process of refining is easy but it takes time and patience to refine the shield.
When Jian started the simulation t would collapse every time he would try to temper the shield. Meaning that it was not tempered from every direction equally.
So he had start all over again. He failed multiple times but Finally he was able to refine a shield in the simulation but still after few minutes it Collapsed.
Jian didn't continue on the shield and decided thatbhe will focus on it tomorrow because simulation and reality is different. So he had enough confidence that he will be able to refine a proper shield.
After that he finally focused on the last weapon which was most harder to refine and he didn't had any confidence in refining it. It was gauntlets.
He chose this weapon because he had to refine this for Su Xiaobo as he is adept in body type cultivation technique and Martial arts technique.
So the gauntlets would proper weapons for him to use. So he thought of refining for the mission and then he can refine the proper gauntlets for Su Xiaobo.
The process of the refining was very hard because he had to structure the ore in shape of a hand. He has to use a malleable ore which can be shaped easily.
So the most difficult process was to shape the weapon properly otherwise the whole structure will collapse.
He tried few time but he was not getting gang of it. He activated star Gaze to see if he was missing anything else but still he failed to successfully refine the weapon.
After trying multiple time the results were same. So he decided to stop the simulation because it was getting late and he had to be ready in the morning to refine the weapons.
He tried it for the last time and the results were same so he closed of the simulation and and went to sleep.
Next morning Jian woke up, he was not staying in the Sect Masters cave as the sect hall was sealed of. Last night he has performed simulation in the sect master cave. Jian felt very refreshed and knew that it was due to the supply of Qi from the spirit vein in the cave.
He went to bath innthe stream near the cave and after that he flew to the Weaponsmith Hall. He is going start refining his weapons.
He reached the Weapon Smith Hall and saw that Yu Yue was cultivating on the second floor. He didn't disturb her and directly went to the top floor.
He immediately told the system to call out the Chaos Cauldron. It was the same Cauldron he used for refining the pills.
With the help of this he just need to focus of refining the weapons and adjust the temperature.
He had already bought the materials for the weapons in exchange for pills from the Soaring Cloud Pavilion so he doesn't need to worry about wasting the material.
Jian didn't waste time and started with the weapons he had already refined. He told the system start heating the cauldron and he arranged the materials for refining the weapons.
He has brought on one set of Materials for the weapons that he had already refined and three sets of materials for different types of Swords.
And for the shield and the Gauntlets he has brought Five sets of materials.
The first weapon he decided to refine was sword and its different types. Because it would be easier for him to concentrate if the weapons are all sword type.
So he started to refine normal sword. As he had expected he just has to adjust the temperature in the times of refine the ores and he can completely focus on molding the sword.
In only half hours he was able to refine a normal sword. When Jian checked the sword it was one of the exquisite Swords which he jas refined. If it was compared to the other one star Swords he has refined previously it was quite an achievement.
Jian was happy, he kept the sword in the inventory and then started to refine the short sword.
One by one Jian continued to refine and in noon he stopped to rest because he had refined all five sword type weapons.
He had trouble in refining heavy and light Sword other all other weapons were successfully refined the first try.
