Chapter 153 Alchemy Items, Mythical Magic Weapons
After entering the space, Li Qin first completed the task, then played with the two pets for a while before preparing to start doing his work.
He had already set up an alchemy workshop in the space in advance for this matter.
You can't feel it when you're outside the workshop, but as soon as you step inside, you immediately feel a wave of heat.
Inside the workshop, there is a special set of smelting equipment.
These devices are almost all made using scrap metal materials from steel rolling mills, through a magical process.
It is also engraved with countless alchemical runes.
Therefore, these devices can be considered alchemical items by a narrow margin.
The next step, converting gold and silver into pure gold and mithril, requires the use of these devices.
With a wave of his hand, Li Qin created several wooden crates on the ground in the workshop.
Then he waved his hand again, and all the boxes opened automatically.
A golden light suddenly spread out.
These boxes are all filled with gold.
Some are shaped like ingots, while others are gold bars.
Large or small.
"I wonder how much of this gold will eventually be converted into pure gold?"
Looking at the gold on the ground, Li Qin felt somewhat uncertain.
In the wizarding world, "pure gold" does not refer to gold with extremely high purity.
Or to be more precise, the pure gold in the wizarding world, besides being extremely pure, also contains some special mysterious powers.
Li Qin was a decisive person. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly regained his composure and focused all his attention on the task at hand.
He immediately began to take action.
Then the gold piled up on the ground automatically flew into a special smelting device.
The first thing to do is to purify this gold.
Next, through some ritual magic, the mysterious power hidden within the gold is activated.
Finally, through some special methods, it is transformed into pure gold.
Although this was Li Qin's first time doing this process, he had already rehearsed it in his mind many times.
With the added power and precise control gained from fusing with the divine essence, the entire process went remarkably smoothly.
In just a short while, the gold fed into the smelting equipment was further purified.
Gold is now extremely pure.
But it still wasn't enough.
Multiple purification processes are required.
Under normal circumstances, doing this would be extremely troublesome.
But Li Qin accomplished all of this through magic.
So in reality, Li Qin's initial work was relatively simple and easy for him.
The really troublesome part is the last few steps.
As time passed, under Li Qin's focused operation, ordinary gold gradually transformed into pure gold with a mysterious luminescence.
"Finally finished!"
After converting the last bit of gold, Li Qin finally let out a deep breath.
His face also showed signs of exhaustion.
The process of refining pure gold requires a high degree of concentration and the constant use of spells to maintain the ritual magic, which is a considerable pressure for Li Qin.
Fortunately, the final result was good.
All the gold mined recently has been transformed into magical pure gold.
"Although I had guessed that the percentage of gold that could be converted into pure gold was not very high, I did not expect it to be this low."
If I weren't confident I could make money, I really would have given up.
Li Qin looked at the pure gold on the workbench.
His face was full of helplessness and emotion.
Although he didn't keep a detailed count of the gold he had collected in the previous few days, he estimated that it must have weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
At this time, the price of gold in China is 30 yuan per gram.
One jin is five hundred grams.
Therefore, one can imagine how much the gold Li Qin used to refine into pure gold was worth.
Hundreds of kilograms of gold can be refined into less than two kilograms of pure gold after going through a series of special processes.
"According to my initial idea, to completely refine that alchemical object, it would require at least twenty catties of pure gold. Thinking of this, and then imagining the conversion ratio between pure gold and gold."
Li Qin also felt a wave of dizziness.
"If we follow this calculation, why do I suddenly feel that it's a long way off before I can completely forge that item?"
Li Qin's lips twitched involuntarily.
He felt like slapping himself.
He somewhat regretted designing the alchemical items too perfectly.
Otherwise, so much pure gold wouldn't be needed.
However, Li Qin felt unwilling to give up the design.
Soon, the expression on Li Qin's face suddenly relaxed:
"Fortunately, when I designed this item, I considered that it might not be possible to forge it all at once, so I designed it to be completed in parts."
Combining the concept of magical artifacts from mythology with alchemy as a foundation, Li Qin ultimately designed an alchemical item that was a thirty-three-story pagoda.
It is modeled after the legendary Thirty-Three-Story Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Thirty-Three-Story Linglong Pagoda.
Li Qin planned to carve out a large space on each level of the pagoda;
It could be used to raise animals, grow plants, process and store goods, store books, or even imprison people.
In addition, he also wanted to carve some spells on the pagoda, either for defense or offense.
To give the pagoda a certain degree of offensive and defensive capabilities.
This makes it even closer to the legendary magical artifact.
However, that was the pagoda's ultimate form. Now, it is limited by the materials, Li Qin's own knowledge, and his magical skills.
He can only refine the basic version.
Even the basic version is more convenient and easier to use than Li Qin's current magic suitcase.
As his alchemy and magical skills improve, he will continue to upgrade the pagoda;
There may be a chance in the future to upgrade it to the level of a legendary magic weapon.
That would take a long time.
What Li Qin needs to do first is to refine the basic thirty-three-layer pagoda.
Taking many factors into consideration, when Li Qin designed the pagoda, he had thought that each layer of the pagoda could be made independently.
Once completed, they can be combined with each other.
He currently has a limited amount of pure gold, which is only enough to barely forge three layers of the tower.
As for the rest, we can only work on improving them gradually in the future.
Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so Li Qin isn't in a hurry.
Of course, the most crucial point is that there's no use in him being anxious now.
So I simply relaxed.
After the pure gold was refined, Li Qin immediately began refining mithril.
The process of refining mithril is somewhat similar to that of pure gold.
The process involves first refining the silver, then activating its mysterious power through ritual magic, and finally transforming it into mithril through special means.
However, because making pure gold had already left Li Qin feeling mentally exhausted, he didn't rush to start.
He chose to rest for a while first.
After all, in the process of alchemy, even the slightest mistake can lead to the failure of all previous efforts.
Although Li Qin had collected far more silver than gold, he dared not waste it.
After all, the amount of silver and gold required to completely complete the thirty-three-story pagoda is enormous.
