Looking at Chen Zhiyuan, or "Yuan Zhicheng", who was deep in thought, Ouyang Yushui took a few puffs of cigarette, spewed out two long white gases from his nostrils, and then walked over to the side of the big stove with a sound.

Ouyang Yushui is not a person who is not famous, on the contrary, in the town where he lived before, Ouyang Yushui is the eldest son of the Ouyang family in the town, and he will inherit the family's great business if there is no accident in the future, that is, water control, which can be seen from his name.

Although the Ouyang family is not a big family, it is also a proper cultivation family, and the family has practiced water attribute exercises for generations, and all the places near the town where flowing water passes have traces of the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Yushui's family had high hopes for him when he was just born, after all, he was the eldest son of the family, so all kinds of resources would be inclined to him, and basic education and various knowledge were cultivated since childhood, and everyone felt that he would definitely inherit the family's great business in the future and continue to carry forward the Ouyang family.

But all this changed at Ouyang Yushui's coming-of-age ceremony, the eldest son who was pinned on high hopes couldn't resonate with a drop of Xuanyin Divine Water inherited from the family, and a series of subsequent tests also showed that Ouyang Yushui had no water spiritual power at all, and what was even more ironic was that the spiritual power in Ouyang Yushui's water body was actually the spiritual power of Huoxing.

This incident was quite a big trouble in the Ouyang family at that time, and the final result was that Ouyang Yushui's mother was demoted, and Ouyang Yushui himself was abandoned by the family, and since then he has been expelled from the Ouyang family, and he can't even get close to that neighborhood.

Fortunately, on the road to the infinite sky, Ouyang Yushui met his master, a small refiner, although the realm is not high, the craftsmanship is not very good, and he often breaks the materials, as if he was an apprentice who was driven out because he was not good at learning.

But this master can't refine weapons by himself, but he is a good hand at teaching apprentices. Under the guidance of Ouyang Yushui, he quickly mastered the use of various tools, and he was able to become proficient in various materials after just one or two contacts.

The refiner blew up the furnace because of a refining mistake, lost more than half of his life, and before he died, he also handed over his cultivation techniques and refining experience to Ouyang Yushui, although Ouyang Yushui's alchemy skills were much better than him at this time, but this type of exercises and skills had indeed not been studied.

In the next seventy years, Ouyang Yushui never went back to Ouyang's house again, after many years, Ouyang Yushui finally settled in Yinshan, and he was not interested in what happened in Yinshan.

Now Ouyang Yushui began to feel that his state had slipped, and he also knew that he had spent too much time on refining, and now it was hopeless to break through the golden pill, so he began to gradually pay attention to cultivating the next generation.

There are now four refining halls in Nanshan City, except for the person in the refining hall in the west of the city who is not Ouyang Yushui's apprentice, half of the remaining three refining hall refiners have studied under Ouyang Yushui for a period of time, and have beaten him and served as refining apprentices.

Among the refiners in Nanshan City, Ouyang Yushui is also the only one of the few people who can participate in the creation of the Jindan magic weapon, at least in this area, who doesn't call Master Ouyang when he sees him?

has seen a lot, and Ouyang Yushui also has his own set of ways to look at people.

At the beginning, Ouyang Yushui pinched Chen Zhiyuan's muscles not because he was really curious about Chen Zhiyuan's body, but because he was checking how Chen Zhiyuan's condition was.

After all, the refiners below Jin Dan are basically the majority of those who practice their bodies, of course, they play with fire more in the later stage, and the demand for the body of the imperial objects out of thin air is not so great, but it is better to practice the body in the early stage, and Ouyang Yushui himself is also a practice monk.

Secondly, Ouyang Yushui is also to check Chen Zhiyuan's spiritual power attributes, you must know that there are many people who eat the bite of refining, but there are not so many people who eat well, after all, in addition to talent, there are some requirements for spiritual power, such as flames, of course, alchemy is the same, but alchemy attaches more importance to the understanding of drug attributes.

The results of the inspection are not bad, Chen Zhiyuan has the breath of fire spiritual power in his body, whether he is like this in himself or it is acquired, anyway, having this aura means that Chen Zhiyuan has crossed the first threshold of becoming a refiner.

As for beating the Xuanming Iron, it is just a small test, after all, there will be more opportunities to strike iron in the future, if you can't hold on to the first hundred strokes, then it's better to get out of the way as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Chen Zhiyuan did a good job, at least Ouyang Yushui is quite satisfied at the moment, so he is willing to spend some time teaching Chen Zhiyuan, as for how much he can learn and how well he learns, it can only depend on Chen Zhiyuan's own creation.

The rest time was over soon, and Chen Zhiyuan had already come out of the state of feeling.

Although it seems to have comprehended, it seems that it has not comprehended anything. Shaking his head, Chen Zhiyuan decided to put these down first, or do the work at hand first.

When he continued to pull the bellows, Chen Zhiyuan would always unconsciously imitate Ouyang Yushui's appearance, but he always imitated every time he was so similar, but he disrupted his original rhythm.

"Don't be too anxious, everything has to take your time, the last thing you need now is time. ”

Seeing the clumsy appearance of "Yuan Zhicheng", Ouyang Yushui couldn't help but mention it. Chen Zhiyuan is fine if he has a problem, but the instability of the bellows control makes him have to slow down the rhythm of striking iron, and he knows that it is better not to instruct him.

"Okay, okay. ”

Chen Zhiyuan replied twice, changing the rhythm back to the way it was in the morning.

Ouyang Yushui's refining weapon is not like an ordinary blacksmith who simply cools the molten iron and then knocks it around, the molten iron seems to be activated in Ouyang Yushui's hands, and it is a pleasure to watch the process of refining these refining masters.

I saw Ouyang Yushui put his fingers straight into the red molten iron, and then pulled it out, and the molten iron slowly floated with Ouyang Yushui's hand.

Ouyang Yushui's true fire is cyan, dyeing the floating molten iron with a layer of green ash, and then, like kneading dough, Ouyang Yushui's two hands constantly pull the ball of molten iron in his hand, and then constantly fold, compress, cool, and then melt again, then pull, fold, compress, and cool.

If it doesn't melt fast enough halfway, or if the cooling speed is not enough, Ouyang Yushui will put the molten iron ball in his hand back into the furnace to speed up the process.

Don't underestimate this big furnace, it doesn't just have the function of heating, through the control of spiritual power input and the activation of different runes, the function of this furnace is not only heating, cooling, but also quenching and purification.

The hundred forged steel that ordinary people have to go through thousands of tempers to get appeared so easily in Ouyang Yu's hands, and this molten iron is not formed by the melting of ordinary pig iron, but the dark iron ore is obtained by continuous smelting and purification in the furnace.

After the hundred forging steel was ready, Ouyang Yushui put it on the anvil, slowly changing its shape, and slowly kneading it into the shape of a long knife from a ball of dough-like molten iron, which was the long knife that Chen Zhiyuan had seen that was now standard for people in Nanshan Gate.

Before the long knife was finished, Ouyang Yushui picked up the big hammer next to him, and hit the long knife that had gradually cooled down one after another, sparks continued to sputter out, and black iron sheets continued to fall off from the long knife, and the long knife, which originally looked a little thick, slowly became much thinner and became more beautiful.

In the end, the long knife cooled down completely, and the knife was basically forged, but of course, this was not the finished product.

Ouyang Yushui didn't know where to get a small hammer, and kept knocking on various positions on the long knife, sometimes flicking the blade with his fingers, and then closing his eyes to feel it, and picking up the hammer and hitting it a few times where he was not satisfied.

After all this work was done, Ouyang Yushui picked up the knife again and looked at it carefully, until he was satisfied everywhere, then nodded, put the long knife aside, and summoned other refiners to take it and open the blade.

Although Chen Zhiyuan was pulling the bellows on the side, he would still devote a part of his mind to observe the forging process of Ouyang Yushui when Ouyang Yushui was forging, otherwise if all his thoughts were put into pulling the bellows, then what this apprentice was doing would be meaningless.

In one afternoon, Ouyang Yushui created three long knives, Chen Zhiyuan didn't know how many he was going to build, anyway, he was also building long knives in the morning, probably this is Ouyang Yushui's task this month, right?

The busy time was very fast, just when Chen Zhiyuan was pulling the bellows and observing, it was already time for the sun to go down, until Ouyang Yushui reminded Chen Zhiyuan that he could go, Chen Zhiyuan realized that so much time had passed, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

"It's a good seedling. ”

Sitting by the stove, Ouyang Yushui said to the refiner next to him while smoking a long cigarette.

"Yes, I think he's a little stunned, not as nimble as the previous apprentice. ”

The refiner next to him took the cigarette stick from Ouyang Yu's sailor, took a puff and said.

"It's okay to stay some, there are not so many complicated thoughts, and those who can rest assured are the ones who learn things. ”

After chattering for a while, Ouyang Yushui packed up his things and left the refining hall.

"Fire with ice, what kind of flame are you? It looks quite suitable for refining, I hope this talent is not wasted." ”

On the way, Ouyang Yushui remembered Chen Zhiyuan's spiritual power attributes, although he had never seen Chen Zhiyuan's true fire, but how could he hide Ouyang Yushui, an old refiner who had been immersed in refining weapons for many years?

Chen Zhiyuan, who returned home, was not without nothing to do, at this time, Chen Zhiyuan was slowly recalling what he had learned during the day, and he also took out a bunch of small parts from the storage bag, and knocked on it like Ouyang Yushui.

Chen Zhiyuan has a lot of storage bags in his hand, and some of them have been sold one after another in the past two years, and the contents have naturally been taken out and sorted out, including a lot of materials and books about refining.

Maybe the owner of these things was originally a refiner, or he may be a junior apprentice like Chen Zhiyuan, but this doesn't have much to do with it.

Not to mention, there are still a lot of gains, and from these people's notes, Chen Zhiyuan can always find Ouyang Yushui's description, it seems that the master he followed is also a person who is full of peach and plums.
