At the beginning, he prepared twenty-five portions of first-grade high-grade wood spiritual materials for Bai Ya, and she consumed twenty portions.

Because it could no longer meet her needs for the next step of growth, she stopped eating it, and the last five servings were left.

He held one of the spiritual materials in his hand and silently felt the spirituality distributed in it. He also relied on the keen touch of his palm to feel the wooden texture of this wood-based spiritual material.

At a certain moment, the power of qi and blood in the body gently inhales and inhales, and enters the spiritual material through the palm of the hand, and then closes it as soon as it is released.

The next moment, he let go of his hand, and the original complete wooden spiritual material was shattered into wooden fibers thinner than toothpicks.

This is not difficult for any martial arts master.

What really shows his ability is that the spirituality sealed in the wood spiritual material is still completely sealed in the wood fibers, and has not been lost and dissipated when the entire spiritual material is broken.

This is because at the moment when he exerted his strength, he accurately grasped the flow and distribution of spirituality in this wood-type spiritual material, and accurately wedged his own strength into it.

Meng Zhou combined ten of these soft wood fibers into one strand, and three strands into a rope.

About an hour later, without destroying the spirituality of the spiritual material, he turned a piece of wood spiritual material into a rope containing wood spirituality.

As soon as he started using it, Meng Zhou felt the spiritual distribution within it.

But compared to Sheng Ling Bai Ya, it feels a lot more unfamiliar and rough.

He has used Bai Ya to tie ropes nearly a hundred thousand times, and he is confident that he can manipulate it arbitrarily and accurately through the knotting method. However, he can only feel roughly the long rope in front of him.

He began to use this rope to braid it into a turtle-shell wood spirit shield.

Soon, Meng Zhou felt the difference.

If we say that weaving with Shengling Baiya is like drinking a glass of silky and mellow dairy products, it will make you feel happy both physically and mentally.

And knitting with this rope is like drinking a glass of industrial waste water. Not only does it make you feel physically uncomfortable, but you also have various psychological problems, stumbling and no smooth moments.

Moreover, the spirituality contained a lot of impurities, so he used the knotting method to soften and train it, drawing on the purification ideas from the weapon refining techniques.

Judging from the appearance, in the process of weaving the turtle-shell wood spirit shield, he would always bend the rope back and forth to weave it into other shapes and then unravel it.

"Oh, this step was wrong..."

Just after finishing the knitting step, Meng Zhou felt that it was spiritual and did not unfold exactly as expected.

He untied the knotted rope, took a step back, and knitted it again.

"Yes, it is like that!"

Meng Zhou nodded and began to continue knitting.

This kind of "repentance" happens not just once or twice, but frequently.

Sometimes it is not even a step or two of repentance, but a dozen or so steps of repentance.

"The process is reversible. This should be the biggest advantage of this tool-making method compared to conventional tool-making methods, right?"

Using flames and refining furnaces, the entire refining process is irreversible, and there is no such thing as "repentance."

Refining waste is refining waste. If you make a wrong step, all your previous efforts will be wasted and it will be difficult to continue. You must prepare materials and start over.

And even if it's the same material, as long as it's not the original one, it's still very different.

Each one is slightly different. When all the main and auxiliary materials are put together, the difference is too big to be ignored. This is why even the most powerful weapon refiners and alchemists cannot guarantee a 100% success rate.

But using the braiding method avoids this problem. If you make a wrong step, you can go back and start over.

And as you try again and again and become more familiar, the possibility of making mistakes becomes lower and lower.

In comparison, ordinary weapon making requires the use of many auxiliary materials in order to adjust the spiritual state of the materials, but with this braiding method, only one rope is needed to "consistently", so it is not that important.

These are all advantages.

However, the shortcomings are also very prominent.

A regular weapon refiner, even a first-level weapon refiner, as long as he has the corresponding inheritance, can basically handle all types of materials and refine all types of magic weapons.

However, through the method of knotting ropes, he could only control the spirituality in wood-type spiritual materials, and he could only make wood-type magic weapons.

The limitations are also very obvious.

However, for Meng Zhou, this was enough.

After about two hours, he finally succeeded in weaving a turtle-shell wood spirit shield again.

After some verification, this tortoise-shell wood spirit shield is a satisfactory first-order high-grade magic weapon.

Meng Zhou played with it for a while, then put it back into the jade volute, along with the other four first-grade high-grade wood spiritual materials into the jade volute.

This attempt not only successfully verified his suspicions, but also gained a first-level high-grade defensive magic weapon. He also gained +20 experience, which was twice as much as using a rope spirit to weave a turtle-shell wood spirit shield.

This shows that this kind of stumbling success is still more rewarding than the smooth success.

But after this verification, Meng Zhou gave up trying to continue knitting with ordinary wood spiritual materials.

The reason is simple, it wastes too much time.

Using the rope spirit to weave, you can successfully weave a turtle-shell wood spirit shield in twenty minutes, which is three shields per hour, with +30 experience.

And as the number of knitting increases, the level of mastery increases, from entry to initial success, to minor success, the speed becomes faster and faster, and the efficiency of harvesting unit experience becomes higher and higher.

Four days later, his mastery of the wooden defensive magic weapon, the Turtle-shell Wood Spirit Shield, reached a perfect level, and his level as a weapon maker reached "First Level 90/100" with just this one magic weapon.

Then, Meng Zhou spent another eight days learning and mastering the weaving method of two first-level, high-grade wooden instruments, and reached a perfect level.

A python whip can attack the magic weapon and strangle the enemy like a python.

A pure futon, minoring in magic tools.

After successfully mastering this futon-making method, Meng Zhou knitted one for himself. Not only did he sit cross-legged on it when practicing, but he also sat on it when he repeatedly learned the method of knitting and making utensils.

You won't see anything in a short time, but the effect is very obvious after one day. Your mental and physical state are more relaxed, but your harvest has increased by nearly 20% without realizing it.

This is because under the influence of this special futon, his physical and mental state is better maintained, and he is slowly recovering at any time.

And when Meng Zhou mastered the three methods of making magical instruments to a perfect level, the instrument maker also reached "First Level 100/100".

[Skills: Perfect turtle-shell wood spirit shield, perfect python whip, and perfect pure futon]

[Occupation: First level of tool maker 100/100]

…

February 20th.

[Realm: Nine levels of Qi training 65/100]

It took eighteen days to push a new profession to its first-level limit.

Meng Zhou gave himself a half-day holiday, walked out of Ruyiju, and wandered around Qinglinfang.

Five days ago, on February 15th, Qingxuanzong held another treasure auction at Hexin Tower.

Both the people participating in the auction and the items put on the auction stage were much larger than the first time.

The number of third-level items with the highest value was nearly twice that of the first auction, and each item fetched a sky-high price.

The most talked about Foundation Establishment Pill, after an astonishing nine pieces were sold in the first auction, this time it directly broke the double-digit record.

A total of fifteen pills were auctioned, and the lowest price, an ordinary foundation-building pill, still fetched a high price of two hundred medium-grade spiritual stones.

These days, there is often the smell of a breakthrough in foundation building coming from Hexin Tower. Regarding the breakthrough in foundation building, people have gone from being rare to seeing it to not being surprised.

During the half day that Meng Zhou was out wandering around, he witnessed the birth of two new foundation builders.

Many people say that this is a long-term development of the Qingxuan Realm after eighty years of accumulation.

And on the day after the auction ended on February 15th, Hexin Building was already preparing for the auction half a month later, that is, on February 30th.

Open the door to contact the auction items delivered by various forces, and identify which ones are qualified to be included in the next treasure auction.

Many monks have noticed that according to this trend, the prices of similar items will become lower in the future.

For example, if there are only a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Pills, the sale will not be unsuccessful, but the lowest price will definitely fall below two hundred mid-grade spiritual stones.

But as long as the monks are qualified to participate in the competition, they are still actively participating in the competition.

Because the first batch of monks who successfully built the foundation of Hexin Building have already begun to move around in the square.

Watching those guys who were originally at the same level as myself, have now risen to another level.

"There is no practice of Qi in dealings with others, but only the foundation of friendship can be built."

When we meet again, we used to be friends with each other as equals, but now we have to respectfully call each other senior with clasped fists.

Not only has the reputation and status changed, but the network resources that were previously inaccessible and that I dared not count on have taken the initiative to open their doors to them. The benefits are like running water. There is no need to attract them at all, and the initiative continues to come.

With such a solid role model, who wouldn’t be jealous and eager to try?

What Meng Zhou saw in the market was an atmosphere in which almost everyone was a little superior.

He didn't really like this kind of atmosphere.

Therefore, Meng Zhou did not go shopping much. He wandered around several places and purposefully purchased more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs with a total of nearly 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and then ended his half-day relaxation.

When passing by Xiangming Tower, Meng Zhou turned around and went in.

About half an hour later, Meng Zhou left Xiangming Tower.
