Chapter 231: Frugal Version of Refining Equipment

Thanks to the hard work of the princes day and night, the cave built with black stone was completed perfectly.

In order to highlight the grandeur of this cave, two princes secretly stole their father's favorite antiques and used them as decorations.

The princes were very satisfied, and Li Yanmo was also very happy.

The remuneration of the princes, the purchase and processing fees of the black stones, plus the costs of the spells, magic weapon embryos, materials, pills, etc., the 23.7 billion medium-grade spirit stones on Li Yanmo's body evaporated in an instant and turned into nothing, and it was absolutely impossible to earn back a single spirit stone.

Based on the principle that if you have to consume, you should consume more, Li Yanmo also hung a storage bag filled with tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual fruits on the shelf.

"Everyone, this project can only be described as perfect! Of course, without your help, there would be no results today. I will visit you later and give you a thank you gift!"

In response to Li Yanmo's thanks, the princes, who had lost weight, waved their hands to express that they had also enjoyed this project very much.

Since the trip to the mine was only a few days away, the princes returned to Baidi City after expressing their gratitude.

As the daughter of the prime minister, Leng Ningshuang is also responsible for supervising the trip to the mine. Since she is already here, there is naturally no need to go back.

While there was still some time, Li Yanmo started to tinker with the black stone ore he had collected during this period.

Of course, he mined all these obsidian stone ores himself, and this behavior once aroused suspicion among Shi Dan and others.

They didn't understand why Li Yanmo left the already mined obsidian ore unused and chose to mine it himself.

Li Yanmo couldn't say that those tons of black stone were bought with the sect's resources, as he, as the sect leader, couldn't be greedy.

Therefore, Li Yanmo could only use such high-sounding reasons to explain it: "I plan to try to refine the magic weapon myself. Since I want to refine it myself, I should naturally collect the raw materials myself."

Li Yanmo himself felt that this reason sounded fake, but Shi Dan and others believed it. Those noble princes were even more excited and expressed their desire to learn from Li Yanmo's spirit.

Looking at the two fist-sized pieces of obsidian ore in his hands, Li Yanmo was so sad that tears were about to flow.

Shi Dan was not joking, the black stone ore was indeed difficult to collect. Even with the guidance of experienced miners like Shi Dan, he only mined these two pieces of ore in two months.

Leng Ningshuang didn't understand why Li Yanmo suddenly wiped his eyes, so she complained, "I told you a long time ago that you can just use the obsidian black stone mine there. I don't know why you are being so stubborn, or do you want to establish your own personality in front of those princes?"

Li Yanmo curled his lips.

If he could have coveted those obsidian mines, he would have done so long ago.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Yanmo still said, "I like the feeling of this kind of labor. It gives me a sense of accomplishment."

"Okay, okay, okay - then how do you plan to refine the magic weapon?" Leng Ningshuang saw at a glance that Li Yanmo was being stubborn, but she really didn't understand what Li Yanmo was being stubborn about, so she could only raise her hand and wave, "Yaohei Ore is indeed an excellent material for refining magic weapons, but it is also quite troublesome to handle."

Li Yanmo's eyes returned to the Yaohei ore in his hand, his face full of distress, "I haven't thought about it yet, should I...make it into a magic weapon embryo first?"

Magical weapon embryos refer to those magical weapons that have not yet been refined and whose grade cannot be determined.

The initial refining techniques determine the lower limit, while the later refining determines the upper limit of the magic weapon.

If the technique is proper and one ensures that each refining leaves room for the next refining, the magic weapon embryo can continue to grow stronger like those growth magic weapons.

But the problem is that Li Yanmo doesn’t know how to refine weapons.

Leng Ningshuang pointed out Li Yanmo's dilemma without giving him face, "Can you make it?"

“I don’t know how to practice, but that doesn’t mean I can’t practice.”

Li Yanmo muttered something and patted his belly.

The girl who was enjoying a sweet sleep in the foundation-building platform opened her eyes, twisted on the bed like a bug, stretched her waist with satisfaction, and stood up, "What's the matter?"

"Can you refine weapons?"

"No, but I know how to get a useful magic weapon."

"How do I get a useful magic weapon?"

"Rob."

"It's okay, go back to sleep."

Nuyao didn't hesitate and lay down on the spot.

Li Yanmo scratched the back of his head and looked at the two dragon patterns on his body.

You Longwen is a wild monk and doesn't know much. If you ask You Longwen, you will probably get an answer similar to Nuyao's, but Leng Longwen is different.

Leng Longwen is a genuine descendant of the North Sea Dragon Palace. He has received advanced dragon education and knows a lot.

Although Leng Longwen has been making shaved ice or iced drinks for the past eight years.

"Xiao Leng, can you refine a magic weapon embryo?"

The cold dragon pattern that had been waiting for a long time immediately emerged from Li Yanmo's sleeve, and he patted his chest confidently, "Of course! Our dragon pattern is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and we ourselves are the best furnace of heaven and earth! As long as the materials are in place, we can breed a powerful magic weapon ourselves!"

"Then how about this Yaoheishi Mine?" Li Yanmo's eyes lit up and he immediately pointed to the Yaoheishi Mine.

"Obsidian Black Stone Ore? Of course, give me ten tons, and I can breed a good magic weapon embryo."

Leng Longwen knew how many treasures Li Yanmo's Tianxu Tower had. In addition, the funding Li Yanmo gave to Shen Ziqing alone started at 10 billion, so he went for the top configuration as soon as he opened his mouth, and did not notice the painful expression on Li Yanmo's face when he heard about ten tons of obsidian ore.

You Longwen hurriedly poked his head out, "I, I can do that too! Give me 20 tons! I can also create a powerful magic weapon embryo!"

You Longwen didn't know much about refining equipment, but he knew that twenty was worth ten.

Since Leng Longwen said he could refine ten tons, then he could just say he could refine twenty tons. Li Yanmo had no shortage of money anyway.

Leng Longwen was a little annoyed and wanted to argue with You Longwen. But thinking that You Longwen's IQ was not very high to begin with and that he had been locked up in the Third Prince Temple for eight years, Leng Longwen felt that he should be more generous.

"Well, you can use these two to refine first. The Yaohei Stone Ore is all used now, so we can't adjust it for the time being."

Li Yanmo suddenly felt that he was a little too arrogant and actually wanted to refine the magic weapon embryo himself.

Oil Dragon Pattern and Leng Dragon Pattern didn't think too much, and one dragon swallowed the fist-sized obsidian black stone ore in one gulp.

Soon the day of the mine trip arrived.

The princes came to the mine in a mighty procession.

The commoner princes, led by Li Lin, were the first to notice that the princes of the nobles were much thinner than before. But they didn't care too much.

The failure of the spring hunt caused outrage among the nobles, and all the participants were put in solitary confinement. It would be strange if they didn't lose weight.

But this also meant that the hatred of the noble princes towards them reached its peak.

The two young men beside Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Brother Li, I'm afraid we have to be very alert for this trip to the mine."

Li Lin glanced at the two young men, his eyes gleaming.

"You two, remember not to stay too far away from me during your trip to the mine."

The two teenagers thought that Li Lin wanted to protect them throughout the whole process, and they were touched and said, "Thank you, Brother Li!"

Li Lin just shook his head and looked towards the mine with burning eyes.
