Chapter 729.
Division societies, a major feature of Thousand Star Immortal City.
There was a division society for refiners, a division society for talisman makers, and a division society for array makers ……
Even Spirit Planters likewise had a division society that belonged to their profession.
It is equivalent to Wang Chuan’s trade union in his previous life, and people in the industry can apply to join and pass the examination to obtain the appropriate professional certification.
Wang Chuan wanted to open an equipment store to accumulate funds, and without joining the Alchemist Master Society or obtaining professional certification, he could of course open it without any hindrance.
But if he didn’t have the Alchemist’s Occupation Logo hanging on his facade, then he shouldn’t expect any business to come to him voluntarily.
This was because the stores in the Thousand Star Immortal City, whether it was weapons and equipment, talismans and elixirs, or spirit rice and spirit tea, basically all of them had occupation logos to adorn their facade, to corroborate their strength.
And there was often more than one!
As a newcomer to the profession, how could Wang Dust compete with others if he had nothing?
In the Thousand Star Immortal City, a city of merchants and merchants, even fragrant wine was afraid of deep alleys!
The head office of the Artifact Refiner’s Association is located in the area of the four pockets of land.
In fact, the vast majority of the Master Societies were gathered here, and the dense cluster of buildings formed by tens of storeys of buildings, as well as the gold, silver, and copper-colored emblems inlaid on the floor surfaces, gave rise to a feeling of awe.
Wang Chen, who appeared here, had the feeling of coming to the CBD of a city in his previous life.
And the head office building of the Alchemist Society was easy to find – the tallest and most imposing building was it.
But in Wang Chen’s eyes, this building was clearly a giant magic treasure.
No, it was probably a higher-order artifact than a magic treasure!
With a hint of awe, Wang Chen stepped into the Alchemist Society’s head office building.
Things were divided into front and back, and the first thing he applied for was the Alchemist Examination.
The services of the Alchemist Society were still quite good, and although Wang Chuan was a nobody, after presenting his identity nameplate and indicating his intentions, someone soon came to handle the relevant procedures for him.
After paying the examination fee of 500 spirit stones, Wang Chen was brought to an earth fire room.
This Earth Fire Room was of a rather high grade, with a refining furnace placed in the center and nothing else.
According to the rules, Wang Chuan had five hours to complete the examination and refine a qualified piece here.
Since Wang Chuan had applied for the three-star certification, the person in charge of “supervising” the examination was a four-star master refiner.
This involved the professional standards of the Master Society.
A master refiner who can produce a magic weapon is a one-star refiner, one who can produce a lower-grade spirit weapon can be certified as a two-star refiner, and a higher-grade refiner is a three-star refiner.
A four-star refining master, on the other hand, was already capable of refining magic treasures!
Four stars, five stars, six stars, and seven stars or more for a Grandmaster, the highest the Alchemist Society could certify was a nine-star Grandmaster.
But nine stars was not the end of a refiner’s career.
Wang Dust actually had the ability to impact the four stars, but as a Violet Mansion cultivator, even if he was a peak Violet Mansion, the achievement of a four-star master was too eye-catching.
This was because it was generally believed that only Jindan cultivators could refine magic treasures.
In order to avoid trouble, Wang Chen only chose the three-star certification.
Clang~
Accompanied by the sound of a bronze bell, the portal of the Earth Fire Room closed with a bang, and the examination officially began.
Wang Chen sat down in front of the refining furnace without any panic.
Instead of rushing to open the furnace to refine the spirit weapon, he reached out and pressed the furnace in front of him, injecting his mana to investigate.
The ground fire and the refining furnace could not be chosen, so they had to be familiarized with them in order to refine high-quality works in actual operation.
Then Wang Chen realized that the seemingly ordinary refining furnace in front of him was actually of the third rank.
A third-order refining furnace could be used to refine magic treasures!
According to Wang Chen’s application for three-star certification, a second-order furnace would be enough.
A third-order refining furnace clearly exceeded the standard.
However, Wang Chen didn’t think that this was an oversight or mistake on the part of the Master Society.
It was probably part of the assessment.
Thinking of this, without any further hesitation, Wang Chen immediately activated the spells in the Nine Square Refining Technique and increased the input of mana to refine this third-order refining furnace.
The process of sacrificing and refining lasted for a whole hour!
In fact, with Wang Chen’s current strength, if he utilized the power of the outer dan, it would be no problem to completely refine this third-order refining furnace.
But firstly, there wasn’t enough time, and secondly, it would expose the bottom.
Therefore, Wang Chen controlled the degree of sacrifice to a level that matched his own cultivation realm.
At this point, Wang Chuan’s understanding and mastery of this refining furnace had already met the requirements for refining a top-grade spirit weapon.
Then he turned on the earth fire.
Drawing fire into the furnace.
Although the refining furnace provided by the Refiner’s Society was not on the same level as the Bio-creation Cauldron, the essence of the two was the same, and thanks to the experience he had accumulated over the past five months, Wang Chuan accomplished these steps very well.
One could even say perfect!
He knew very well that his every move in the Earth Fire Chamber would fall into the eyes of the invigilator.
Under the magic treasure, Wang Chen did not feel the need to hide his clumsiness.
It was beneficial to show off his sharpness appropriately.
Immediately afterward, Wang Chen took out a bunch of materials from his Sumeru Ring.
As early as a month ago, Wang Dust had been brewing up the idea of taking part in the Alchemist Society’s examination, and had already inquired about the relevant rules and requirements, so he was fully prepared before he came.
He first used a batch of low-grade materials and refined three magic weapons.
They were all very ordinary and low-grade goods.
On the surface, it looked like Wang Chen was wasting time and materials, but in reality, he was further familiarizing himself with the characteristics of the earth fire and the refining furnace.
The third-order refining furnace must have its own “temperament”, sacrificing is the process of mastery, refining is the process of familiarity, want to reach the point where you can use it like an arm, it must be “fed”.
So a lot of tossing and turning down, another hour has passed.
Wang Dust’s remaining examination time is only three hours.
But at this moment, he has already felt almost, immediately took out the second-order materials of great value.
This was the main event of the day!
The refiner’s examination was self-selected and the materials were self-provided, so no matter what one wanted to refine, as long as the final work that came out was qualified, then one could pass the examination.
So many refiners tended to choose the least difficult artifacts.
Wang Dust didn’t intentionally go for high difficulty challenges, such as to refine flying swords which he was considered quite good at.
This was because three hours would definitely be too late to refine a top-grade flying sword.
What he chose was a flying sword.
Opening the lid of the furnace, Wang Chen put in the three materials of Xuan Iron, Xuan Copper and Xuan Gold in turn.
The proportions were different.
The flying dagger refined with these three materials was known as the Three Xuan Flying Dagger, and its formula was recorded in the Nine Square Weapon Refining Codex, equivalent to a textbook example.
But don’t look at it as a standard example, refining the Three Xuan Flying Daggers was a great test for the refiner’s skills.
The earth fire was blazing, the refining furnace was humming, and the most important step had already been opened!
