Chapter 65: First Try At Refining Weapons
Normally, apart from cultivating and condensing spiritual Qi, a cultivator would study a few combat techniques and a few auxiliary skills. Of course, one could cultivate more than a few, but every technique requires deep understanding. Cultivating too many Arts would impede cultivation. Thus, only geniuses would cultivate more, and normal cultivators would only choose one or two skills.
Combat skills refer to flying sword spells, lightning spells, five element spells etc. As for auxiliary skills, it refers pill refinement, tool refinement, formation study and etc. There exists a myriad of categories, and some skills are the amalgamation of several. The mechanic refinement method is a tool refinement method.
Little Fatty’s cultivation is already very stable, plus supplemented by his plethora of elixirs, his cultivation speed is unprecedentedly fast. Under such circ.u.mstances, he does not need to cultivate a.s.siduously for 20 hours a day as it would be detrimental to his body. As such, apart from the time he spends cultivating his Primal Chaos Formula and lightning spells, he still has plenty of leftover time, which could be spent productively on cultivating an auxiliary skill.
To Little Fatty, the best auxiliary skill to cultivate would definitely be a tool refinement method. This was because his Natal Artifact is really the most suited for refining tools. Not only does it contain a lot of materials, the failed products can be decomposed again, mitigating wastage. Under such circ.u.mstances, Little Fatty would be able to refine high-grade tools with no constraints.
Other cultivators did not possess the luxury of cultivating this refinement method, as materials do not come by easy. Thus they could only practise it rarely, and through these rare occasions, boost their mastery ever so slowly.
No matter how fastidious they were each time they refine something, there would still be many failed products. These failed products, wastages, were what made every tool refinement master’s heartache.
Little Fatty cared little for all the cons of tool refinements. He could cavalierly refine tools, regardless of how precious the material was. Presented with such serendipity, Little Fatty had wanted to find a tool refinement method to play with since a long time ago.
However, the refinement of tools is an abstruse topic, and the many methods in the market would only capable of refining low-grade magical tools. With Little Fatty’s wealth, how would he be able to appreciate those trash? However, the higher grade tool refinement methods were usually production secrets, meant for sustaining businesses. Thus, n.o.body would be willing to sell them.
The Mystical Sky Yard had some manuals which weren’t too bad and could refine some stronger magical tools. But those methods can only be learned if one had sufficient contribution to the sect. Based on Little Fatty’s character, he would definitely not waste his energy contributing to the sect.
Thus, Little Fatty did not have the chance to learn tool refinement. Never did he expect that in such a deserted place like this, there would be someone who would give him a refinement method.
According to known history, the origin of this manual was not simple. It was left behind by a sect which specialises in the refinement of tools. This Mechanic Sect was very powerful over a thousand years ago, comparable to the Mystical Sky Yard in strength. But a pity, the sect has been on the decline over the last millennium, till it became an unnotable sect that Little Fatty was not cognizant of.
