Hearing the full mockery in their words, Pang Yunxiao was displeased.
"What's wrong with the Lower Road? This Junior Brother of mine easily succeeded on his first try when testing your Grade 2 Low-rank Artifact Refiners, he's no worse than your Middle Road Artifact Refiners!"
The Elder on duty curled his lips even more, "He's strong, and he has quite a temper too."
"Come on," an Artifact Refiner said, setting out an Magic Treasure.
Qian Duoduo picked up the Magic Treasure in the middle and handed it to this Artifact Refiner.
After reading it, he turned and went out to prepare the Materials.
After finishing the Magic Treasure, Qian Duoduo glanced at Pang Yunxiao.
The Grade 2 Mid-rank Magic Treasure for this assessment was actually the Bronze Puppet Armor.
After the Materials were set out, the Elder on duty and the three Artifact Refiners smiled, folded their arms, and stood to the side to watch the show.
For the Bronze Puppet Armor, the first step is to refine bronze, the second step is to forge the helmet and armor plates of the Puppet Armor using bronze, the third step is to tan the inner lining of the Puppet Armor using Golden Ox hide, and the fourth step is to combine the armor plates and inner lining.
The integrated Bronze Puppet Armor, which includes both helmet and armor, can not only enhance the protection of the Corpse Puppet but also protect its neck, preventing enemies from attacking the Corpse Puppet's vital points.
With a look of his Spiritual Awareness at the Materials, Qian Duoduo knew that something was amiss.
Refining bronze requires Spirit Copper and Spirit Tin.
The Spirit Copper ore and Spirit Tin ore that the Artifact Refiner brought were extremely inferior, containing a large amount of Impurities, and each portion of Materials simply could not refine qualified bronze.
No matter which portion of Materials Qian Duoduo took, he would fail.
"According to the rules, I can dispose of the Materials as I wish."
After Qian Duoduo finished speaking, he threw all three portions of Spirit Copper ore and Spirit Tin ore into the cauldron.
Pang Yunxiao became nervous.
This meant that Qian Duoduo's original three chances were reduced to one.
However, Elder Miao nodded slightly.
She was an Artifact Refiner and knew why Qian Duoduo did that.
The Elder on duty's eyes widened, but he didn't show anything.
With the firepower in the cauldron at full blast, Qian Duoduo would occasionally lift the lid, releasing the black, turbid Qi full of Impurities.
The three portions of Spirit Copper ore were purified into light purplish-red Spirit Copper, and the Spirit Tin ore was purified into silvery-white Spirit Tin.
There was enough Spirit Copper and Spirit Tin to refine bronze, but Qian Duoduo began to ponder how to smelt it.
The Bronze Puppet Armor, when worn by a Corpse Puppet, actually requires different levels of protection in different areas.
If the armor plates were made to the same proportion, then the Puppet Armor's protective ability would be uniform.
This would make the refining process simpler, but it wouldn't achieve the optimal protective effect.
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo smelted the Spirit Copper and Spirit Tin in three different proportions.
The highest proportion of Spirit Tin, accounting for 40%, resulted in the hardest bronze, used to create the helmet and neck portion, primarily protecting the Corpse Puppet's Upper Spirit Sea and neck.
The bronze with 30% Spirit Tin was used to create the arm and thigh protective parts, protecting the Corpse Puppet's most offensive hands and feet.
The bronze with 20% Spirit Tin was the most resilient, used to create the body of the Puppet Armor.
Compared to a Cultivator, a Corpse Puppet does not have the weakness of the front chest and back, so the body of the armor does not need to be too thick or too hard.
After the three types of bronze were smelted one by one and crafted into helmets and armor plates according to the Magic Treasure, Qian Duoduo knew that the Bronze Puppet Armor was already mostly successful.
After tanning the inner lining, he proceeded with connecting and sewing.
When the Bronze Puppet Armor was smoothly presented, Pang Yunxiao couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Qian, are you selling this Puppet Armor?"
The Elder on duty noticed the three different bronze proportions in the Puppet Armor, took a breath, and instructed the Artifact Refiner:
"Test the artifact."
The three Artifact Refiners no longer had mocking expressions on their faces.
One Artifact Refiner put the Bronze Puppet Armor on a Corpse Puppet, while another took a golden sword that was close to a high-grade artisan artifact, imbued it with Spiritual Qi, and fiercely slashed at it.
