Chapter 1190 Zongmen Elder
"Okay, you can take us there tomorrow." Fang Yi nodded, pointed to a bamboo chair in the pavilion, and said to Zhang Qi: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."
"Elder Fang, just stand up."
Zhang Qi shook his head, stood in front of him with his hands, and said respectfully: "It is already a great fortune for you to practice with the two elders on Jinao Island. If you have something to do, just ask Zhang Qi to do it. You must not be so polite."
In Lianyun Sea, both cultivators and sea beasts have always been respected by strength. Even cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training have a very different identity, not to mention that Zhang Qi and Fang Yi Long Wanda are still one level apart. If they are commensurate with the seniority of the sect, Zhang Qi would call Fang Yi and Long Wanda as their uncles.
However, the Buyi Sect does not have a master-apprentice system because cultivators are limited by qualifications. Some people can only practice for a lifetime, but some people can only practice for decades and may be able to break through to the foundation-building stage. At that time, the disciple's cultivation level is higher than that of the master, which will cause a lot of inconvenience in the sect system.
So strictly speaking, the master-apprentice system in the entire Lianyun Sea area is not very perfect. Most low-level disciples are taught and taught by the sects, and then selected disciples with high qualifications to focus on training. Perhaps in a few decades, those disciples will have the same cultivation level as those who teach.
"Zhang Qi, I want to know what the refining level of our Buyi Sect is?"
Fang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I know there is a weapon refiner in our sect. What kind of magic weapon can he refine? How long does it take to refine a magic weapon? Is it worth cultivating?"
After attending the introductory ceremony, Fang Yi was going to give the Su brothers the fertilization materials of their natal magic weapons, but Fang Yi didn't know how good the refining level in Lianyun Sea was. He didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he asked this indirectly.
"Elder Hui Fang, the weapon refiner of our Buyi Sect is called Hua Xi, who is in the late stage of Qi training. As for the level of the weapon refiner, it should be a primary weapon refiner."
When Zhang Qi mentioned Hua Xi, a trace of contempt appeared in his eyes. Although it only flashed by, Fang Yi was still seen.
"How are the levels of weapon refiners divided?" Fang Yi said, "The weapon refining heritage I accept is somewhat different from the major sects, so I have never communicated with them. If you know, come and tell me."
"I really know this. When we became a formal disciple, we all tested our qualifications to determine the future direction of our cultivation."
Zhang Qi didn't know why Fang Yi asked some of the most basic knowledge of the sect, but since the elder had spoken, he immediately told everything he knew.
In Lianyun Sea, most disciples in the Qi training stage of the large and small sects who were in the first Jin Qi training stage would evaluate their spiritual roots. If they were wood-attributed spiritual roots, they would be assigned to not plant the spiritual field. If they were fire-attributed spiritual roots, most of them would try to refine alchemy. As for metal-attributed spiritual roots, they would focus on refining weapons.
Zhang Qi and Hua Xi are the same group of formal disciples who have advanced to the Qi training stage. He is also a metal spiritual root, but he is far less talented than Hua Xi in refining weapons. In the end, Hua Xi became a weapon refiner, while Zhang Qi was obsessed with cultivation and became the first among his group of disciples to become the late stage of Qi training.
However, compared with the treatment of the sect, Zhang Qi is far less than Hua Xi. Since becoming a weapon refiner, Hua Xi has been highly valued by the sect, and his cultivation is almost accumulated with various cultivation resources. Hua Xi’s path to cultivation is much smoother than Zhang Qi who practices hard.
However, in Zhang Qi's opinion, Hua Xi, who could only refine low-level magic weapons, had a unstable foundation in his cultivation and was basically unable to advance to the foundation building stage. He was still above the top all day long and looked down on his fellow brothers of the same level. He didn't understand that strong cultivation was the foundation of his own.
The level of the weapon refiner is equal to the quality of the magic weapon they can refine. The weapon refiner who can refine low-grade magic weapons is a low-level weapon refiner. The intermediate-grade magic weapon is an intermediate-level weapon refiner. The weapon refiner who can refine high-grade magic weapons is a high-level weapon refiner.
There is another level between the advanced weapon refiner and the master of weapon refiner, that is, the master of weapon refiner. The master of weapon refiner can help practitioners refine their natal magic weapons, but the success rate is not very high and it takes a long time. But even so, the master of weapon refiner is flocked to by many practitioners and has a very high status in the Lianyun Sea.
As for the identity of the weapon refining master, it is no longer comparable to that of ordinary cultivators. The identity of any weapon refining master can be comparable to that of a sect leader of a large sect.
Even if this weapon refining master only has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, those powerful people in the Golden Elixir stage will treat him equally, because the weapon refining master can refine spiritual weapons. In addition to those obtained from some ruins, most of the weapons of the Golden Elixir stage cultivators in the Lianyun Sea are from the hands of the weapon refining master.
Zhang Qi listened to the conversation between Fang Yi and the Su brothers before, and knew that the inheritance received by Fang Yi was different from those sects, so he explained it in detail.
The success rate of a low-level weapon refiner is only about 30% when refining a low-grade magic weapon is about 30%. It takes nearly a month from refining to finished product. It is only the most apprentice in those sects. According to Zhang Qi, if the Buyi Sect had not attracted the weapon refiners to settle in, a low-level weapon refiner like Zhang Qi would not have been able to make a breakthrough.
The success rate of intermediate weapon refiners is higher. The refining of medium-grade magic weapons is about 50%, and the refining of low-grade magic weapons can reach 80%. The refining time is twice as short as that of low-level weapon refiners. Intermediate weapon refiners are the most popular targets of major sects. Most of the magic weapons of low-level disciples are refined by intermediate weapon refiners.
When they reach the advanced weapon refiner, their status is already very high. The objects used by the top-grade magic weapons they have refined are basically cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Of course, most advanced weapon refiners themselves are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only a very small number of cultivators can become senior weapon refiners with their cultivation level in the Qi training stage. Such weapon refiners are treasures that are secretly promoted by various sects.
There is no need to say much about the master of weapon training. No matter which sect, the treatment you enjoy in is even better than Fang Yi now. However, the probability of refining natal magic weapons is very low, usually only about 40%.
It is much easier to help people with natal magic weapons to fusion materials. Generally, intermediate weapon refiners can do it, but low-level weapon refiners can also be a bit reluctant. The time and energy they spend need to be determined based on the materials.
As far as Zhang Qi knows, the process of fusing materials is very fast, but repairing the formation on the magic weapon is a time-consuming task. It usually takes more than ten days for a high-level weapon refiner, but if you are a low-level weapon refiner, it will take at least one month, and it is very likely to damage the magic weapon.
This is also the reason why there is a weapon refiner on Buyi Island, but the Su brothers refused to let him integrate materials for him. Both of them regard their natal magic weapons as life and cannot tolerate any damage. How dare they use them to practice for Hua Xi?
"Ten days? Where does it take that long?"
After hearing Zhang Qi's words, Fang Yi had a certain understanding of the refining level of Lianyun Sea. Compared with the inheritance he obtained, the refining level of Lianyun Sea is much worse, because fusion materials are simply a breeze for Fang Yi. It doesn't even take him ten days to refine a natal magic weapon.
"Five days, this time should be just right."
Fang Yi thought in his mind that it would take ten days for a senior weapon refiner to fuse the materials of his natal magic weapon, and he would temporarily set it to five days. In fact, Fang Yi did not take that long to repair the array patterns on the magic weapon.
"Okay, Zhang Qi, you take them to the Lingtian Medicine Garden first. If the Ling Valley is mature, you must harvest it as soon as possible." After understanding the refining level of the Lianyun Sea, Fang Yi waved his hand and asked Zhang Qi to leave. Fang Yi had a clear idea of how to fusion magic weapons for the Su brothers.
In the following time, Fang Yi, Long Wanda and the Little Demon King walked the entire Jinao Island. Speaking of which, the place where Su Zimao chose to practice was really good. The mountain top was the commanding height of Jinao Island, and it was the source of the spiritual veins on the island, with extremely abundant spiritual energy.
The people Zhang Qi brought soon got into the role. Zhang Jun brought a congenital disciple to the medicine garden to take care of the spiritual medicines, while Qin Wen brought four congenital disciples to start harvesting the spiritual valley. Zhang Qi was not idle and went to help.
Zhang Qi was very eye-catching. According to his arrangement, Zhang Jun and Qin Wen and other disciples lived in three wooden houses far away from the teleportation array, and gave up the several large houses that Su Zimao had cultivated and lived in and were closest to the pavilion. This will be the place where Fang Yi and Long Wanda practiced.
The next morning, Fang Yi and Long Wanda took Zhang Qi back to Buyi Island through the teleportation array. At this time, Su Zijun had already summoned more than a dozen late-stage practitioners in Qi training to preside over the introductory ceremony for Fang Yi and Long Wanda in the sect ancestral hall.
The Buyi Sect was first founded by a sect disciple from Penglai Immortal Island. Although it later became an independent sect, it was still very close to the sect of Penglai Immortal Island. The ancestor worshipped in the sect was also the ancestor of that sect.
It is precisely for this reason that although the Buyi Sect is rich in black gold and is being looked at by some forces, no force dares to blatantly invade Buyi Island.
After taking the sect's precepts, Fang Yi and Long Wanda were already members of the Buyi Sect. Later, Su Zijun dismissed the Elders' Courtyard and took back the power given to the elders Situ Hao had before. Since then, except for one sect leader, the Buyi Sect has only three elders.
The great elder is naturally Su Zimao in the middle stage of foundation building, the second elder is Fang Yi, and the third elder Long Wanda. There are three elders to deal with the affairs of the sect. If a disciple is promoted to the foundation building stage in the future, he will automatically become the elder of the sect.
Before the Buyi Sect, only the Su brothers and Situ Hao were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. After the Situ Hao's heart lamp went out, only the Su brothers were left. The entire Buyi Sect was equivalent to their one-man show. Although the "elders" before were unwilling to accept it, they were helpless under the orders of the sect leader.
