The method of refining tools is very different from Alchemy. While it is well known that Alchemy must be performed in a Dan Furnace, tool refining takes place at the gathering point of Qi on the ground.
The first step is to melt the iron. Fortunately, these are just scrap iron; if it were a divine weapon, Li Rui's fire would not be able to melt it.
Li Rui himself was unaware that the melting process only took a short tea break, which was remarkably fast.
It is unclear what kind of tool he intends to refine. Perhaps swords and blades seem simple, but throughout the entire process, countless adjustments are needed to achieve an effect that can cut through iron like mud. Moreover, simplicity and speed are crucial.
"Double Ring should be easy to make!" Li Rui murmured, having already formed a rough Double Ring in his mind; he just needed to input True Qi into it for crafting.
Then, Li Rui activated his True Qi and directly fused the molten iron in the air into two Double Rings, just needing to cool and solidify.
However, he thought that the engraving seemed a bit difficult. At that moment, he was momentarily distracted during the transmission, which caused some issues with the engraving.
The cooling time lasted an entire afternoon. Even Li Rui did not expect tool refining to be so laborious; he felt completely drained, which was truly unexpected.
Looking at the Double Ring in his hand, it had already taken on a slight red hue, indicating it was time for engraving.
At this moment, Li Rui had a small thought in his mind: this was the first weapon he refined, and he wanted it to look nice; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.
Imagining how beautiful it would turn out was always pleasant, but reality often felt harsh. He didn't even know what to engrave on it; he could only wave his hand in uncertainty.
"I want to see what our great tool refiner has made." Footsteps approached Li Rui along with the voice.
It was the same person who had mocked Li Rui earlier! He wondered what they wanted now.
Upon seeing the Double Ring in Li Rui's hand, their eyes widened in disbelief as they rubbed their eyes repeatedly.
"This thing was made by you?" Mo Ruxi asked repeatedly, her words revealing a hint of disbelief, and her astonished expression spoke volumes.
Li Rui slightly nodded; indeed, it was something he had refined himself! Why was the reaction so intense? Could there be something wrong?
He then raised the black and silver double rings in his hand. It was just a matter of coloring, and whether to coat it in gold or silver could simply be done by sprinkling gold or silver powder on it! Once he infused his true energy into it, it would achieve a beautiful effect; this was nothing to worry about.
"This thing is really made by you!"
"I nodded, it's no big deal."
Mo Ruxi kept touching her head and slapping her own face, which scared Li Rui. What was going on? Was there really such a method? Had she been knocked down by her own cleverness?
"Do you know that double rings are among the hardest items to refine, especially two of them? Moreover, their shapes must be identical without any errors. Look at this double ring; how can I not be shocked?"
Mo Ruxi kept saying, still unable to recover from her astonishment. Everything seemed to come too suddenly; even she hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
"I want it coated in gold! Go get some for me. I must see this thing placed in front of my cabinet by tomorrow morning, consider it a gift for me."
With that, she hurried off.
Li Rui was instantly baffled. It was the middle of the night; where could he find gold powder? And...
Li Rui shook his head and then found Ding Xiang.
When Ding Xiang saw the double rings in Li Rui's hand, she froze in place, her expression mirroring that of Mo Ruxi just moments ago. She too was shocked and didn't understand what was happening.
Was it really that difficult? Or was the crafting method given by that guy truly exceptional? That would be incredibly impressive.
"Gold powder! I remember there's a place that has some, but their stuff is a bit unreliable."
"Well, I..." Li Rui stretched out his hand, blinking slightly, and Ding Xiang immediately knew something was happening.
"I only have this little bit on me; I don't know if it's enough, but take it for now!"
Li Rui nodded repeatedly. Perhaps he could refine some scrap metal into easier weapons, and the weapons he crafted were not ordinary ones; they were "spiritual light weapons" that glowed. They should sell for a good price!
Then, Li Rui grabbed the silver ingot handed over by Ding Xiang and hurried to the gold-plating pawnshop! He really didn't know what was going on; the surroundings were empty, yet this gold-plating pawnshop showed no signs of closing.
"Give me some gold-plating powder!" Li Rui greeted as he walked in and went straight to the point.
"How much do you need?"
"One piece!"
"How much money do you have?"
Li Rui then tossed the silver ingot onto the counter. The shopkeeper glanced at it and measured the ingot.
"This little bit? I'm afraid it's not enough."
Li Rui frowned slightly, noticing that this guy seemed to be looking for trouble. He didn't want to fall for that! Moreover, Mo Ruxi needed it by tomorrow morning! Looking at this guy's seemingly ulterior motives made him uneasy.
After hearing Ding Xiang's words, Li Rui didn't bring anything valuable with him; even the Water Fire Staff was left at Ding Xiang's house. Now this guy wanted...
"So what you mean is..."
"Help me do something."
"What is it? When did it start? I want to gild it right now."
"I know, if it weren't for this, I might not have met you."
This... hearing such a statement seems to carry another layer of meaning. It appears that this guy is trying to hint at some sort of extortion, and Li Rui only has a few silver ingots on him.
"How about this! It's only the fourth watch now. Go buy a pig from the east side of the city and bring it here. By the time you arrive, it should be around the fifth watch. Don't worry... I'll cover the cost."
Li Rui was once again stunned in place. The implication of these words seemed to grow increasingly Eerie. Could something so simple really be true?
"Aren't you afraid that I might just take this money for myself?"
"If I couldn't read people, this pawn shop would have closed down long ago."
Li Rui smiled calmly, took the ingots from the shopkeeper, and walked out of the store. Based on his position, he should be heading straight ahead.
