Chapter 20 Opening the furnace

Xuan Chen and Mo Qinghan waited outside the Lan Clan's auction house, during which the two were silent to each other. Although the girl's face was not different, Xuanchen on the side could clearly feel the girl's melancholy that she had concealed very well, and from her long silence, it was clear at a glance.

Xuanchen wanted to say something many times, but he was clumsy and blunt, and he didn't know where to speak, and he repeatedly swallowed back when he was about to blurt out, which was a kind of torment.

Xuan Chen has been thinking about a question, helping him take pictures of the Ding, will it have any impact on their future competition for the "Spirit Avoidance Armor" and the "Yuan Master Seal"? So in fact, he is also up and down in his heart, and even if they just spent the 15,000 gold coins in advance, they are just a fraction of a mile apart, and finally miss the Yuan Master Seal, which is a thousand miles wrong. If this is the case, a teenager who is sensitive by nature and does not want to cause trouble will blame himself and regret it.

The young man whose mind fell on this knot was even more timid to speak.

After a short time, the two walked out of the door of the auction house side by side.

When Mo Xiao saw Mo Qinghan, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly covered up the sadness on his face, and walked to Mo Qinghan with a smile.

Mo Xiao touched Mo Qinghan's soft green silk, and asked softly, "Qinghan, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"I'm waiting here for Daddy. Mo Qinghan said with a smile.

"Good daughter. Mo Xiao took out a ring from his arms, handed it to Mo Qinghan, and said, "Come, Qinghan, see what this is." ”

Of course, Mo Qinghan knew that the Flame Tiger Cloud Furnace in the Na Ring was the Flame Tiger Cloud Furnace, she reached out to take it, and smiled happily: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Mo Xiao scratched Mo Qinghan's nose dotingly, and pretended to complain: "Eh, are you still so polite to your father?"

"Hee-hee. Mo Qinghan grinned, his teeth were like Qi Bei, and he was very healing.

"Daddy will go back first, and I will say goodbye to you later...... After friends, remember to go home early. Mo smiled and glanced at Xuanchen beside the girl and said.

The girl nodded vigorously, "I'll be back soon." ”

Standing side by side with Mo Xiao, giving people the first impression of Mo Gu with a gentle face, he took a deep look at the plainly dressed young man, and the long silver-white hair that was different from ordinary people was particularly eye-catching. Then, he turned around with Mo Xiao and strode away.

"Elder Moxiao, Elder Mogu, slow ...... Walk slowly!" Xuan Chen remembered that he should say goodbye to the two, and hurriedly stepped forward, waving and shouting at the backs of the two. It's just that seeing the two getting farther and farther away, no one responded, and the young man's voice became lower and lower.

When the young man's arm slowly fell down with some loss, Mo Xiao still walked forward with his hands behind his back, but Mo Gu beside him turned his head and bowed slightly to the young man, the corners of his blurred mouth seemed to be slightly raised, and the smile was very shallow.

The boy turned his sorrow into joy.

Hyunchen looked back at the girl.

Mo Qinghan spread out his white palm in front of Xuanchen, it was the black ring, "The cloud furnace is here, if you want to use this to refine something, do you want me to help with the materials you need?"

Xuan Chen hurriedly shook his head, "No need, I have already purchased all the materials at the temple fair." ”

There was a hint of doubt in the girl's eyes, but she didn't break the casserole and asked.

Xuan Chen took the initiative to explain: "I'm not an inscription master, it's all for cultivation, didn't the old man of the auction house also say that ordinary refining spirit grass can also be used in the cloud furnace." ”

Mo Qinghan nodded, "In this way, then your cultivation method is quite special." ”

"Well, it's a little different. Because there were too many things that had fallen in the past, it was difficult to make up for it, so I came up with such a new way, trying to improve the cultivation efficiency with the help of external forces, and try to catch up as quickly as possible. From the ring handed over by Mo Qinghan, Xuanchen transferred the cloud furnace "Flame Tiger" to his own gray-white ring, and then returned it to the girl.

"I can't, I'm too playful, my father often said that if I was willing to be diligent, I wouldn't be worse than my eldest brother, and they said that if I hadn't seen me as a girl, they would have wanted to beat me. Mo Qinghan suddenly smiled happily, "It's still my mother, she never forces me to do things I don't like to do, and I'm the most understanding." ”

"Actually......" Xuan Chen opened his mouth, and immediately felt that it was not appropriate, so he didn't say anything further.

The girl tilted her head and asked, "What?"

Xuanchen thought about it for a while, and said in another sentence: "It's good that everything goes according to your heart." ”

In fact, Xuan Chen originally wanted to say that it is also a good thing to cultivate in his spare time, he has a little more strength, and he can protect himself when he is really in danger. But Xuan Chen thought again, manly husband, shouldn't these things be what he should do? Such a good girl, if he doesn't do something for her, is he still a man? Xuan Chen swallowed the words back, glad that he stopped in time.

At this time, in the direction of the gate of the auction house, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out quickly, he quickly swept past Xuan Chen and Mo Qinghan, dodged into the crowd, and disappeared.

Xuan Chen frowned and looked in the direction where the black-robed figure left, he could sense that the aura of the black-robed figure seemed familiar, they must have seen it somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Mo Qinghan asked.

Xuan Chen retracted his gaze and shook his head, "It's okay, you just think that person is wrapped so tightly, isn't it hot?"

"Oh......" Mo Qinghan smiled, "It's quite strange." ”

The two parted ways at the entrance of the auction house, Xuanchen to the left and Mo Qinghan to the right.

At the end of the parting, Xuanchen swore to the girl that if he took the money from the cloud furnace, he would definitely return it to her as soon as possible, and it would definitely be a lot.

Who would have thought that the girl's face was suddenly gloomy, but instead of being half happy, she glared at Xuanchen fiercely, and without saying a word goodbye, she walked away angrily.

Xuanchen was stunned on the spot, and the second monk was confused.

Then he took out the sentence he said before in his heart, chewing it word by word, and there was no omission, thinking that he didn't say anything wrong, and she should be more relieved to keep her promises like this, right?

Then in Xuanchen's heart lake, there was a sneering laugh of a thought, "Puff...... Uncle, I, today is an eye-opener, admire and admire, and throw yourself to the ground. It's also thanks to that girl's kindness and generosity, she doesn't really have the same knowledge as you, otherwise your kid will probably be too late to cry on the ground at this time. ”

Xuan Chen hurriedly asked, "Do you know why?"

Yi Nian said proudly: "That's for sure, uncle, who am I." Do you know that thanking friends and talking about money between men and women are all very emotional things, and you can't say it. Got it, did you remember? Isn't it very reasonable, I admire the uncle, I'm very knowledgeable, right?"

Xuanchen suddenly realized that the root cause was here. Fortunately, I didn't report the amount of money in detail before and asked her to confirm it again, otherwise wouldn't the relationship between the two be broken?

Xuanchen, who had palpitations, was seriously reflecting and summarizing, so he was wandering thousands of miles, and only subconsciously replied: "I know, you have a point." ”

Yi Nian was a little disappointed by Xuanchen's uneven reaction.

——

Lan's Auction House, the old man who presided over the auction, walked through the corridor, walked up to the second floor, and finally stopped at the door of a certain room.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, there is no hinge twisting noise similar to "squeak", and the movement is extremely light.

The old man closed the door, entered the spacious room like a large hall, stepped on the soft woolen carpet, and came to the long dark mahogany table in the innermost part.

Opposite the old man, sat a middle-aged man about thirty or forty years old, dressed in the unified clan uniform of the Lan clan, a blue rippling gown, looking down and flipping through the books in his hand.

"President, today's auction has come to a successful conclusion. The old man reported respectfully.

The middle-aged man in the azure ripple robe didn't make any extra movements, just silently turned over a page of the book, his lips moved lightly, and asked, "Whose house did the Spirit Armor and that Yuan Shi Seal fall to?"

The old man replied, "Both of them were obtained by the Mu family. ”

"Oh?" the man smiled in surprise at first, "Hehe, it looks like there's a good show." ”

"Governor, that Yuanshi seal ......" the old man stopped talking.

The man reminded him slightly: "Lao Cui, we are businessmen, and we are businessmen with rules, and protecting the privacy of customers is an insurmountable principle, even in the face of their families, we must treat them equally." ”

The old man hurriedly bent over and said, "It's the old slave who didn't correct his position, please punish the president." ”

"Go down, it's human nature to stay in a position for a long time, and it is inevitable to forget what you are, but please remember that once you are forgiven, but what about the next time? ”

"The old slave will definitely remember it and always be alert to his identity. ”

"Very well, go down. ”

The old man bowed and retreated.

When the page was finished, the man raised his head and looked at the room that had fallen into empty silence again, his hands were spread on the sides of the book, and he smiled sarcastically: "You don't necessarily have to be so 'different' in teaching such ungrateful students." ”

——

The next day, Xuanchen came to the cliff on time. When Xuan Chen took out something and put it in front of Bai Xuan and asked him to confirm, Bai Xuan was slightly surprised.

"It seems to be going well?" Bai Xuan said.

"I'm lucky to have someone to help. Xuan Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, then it seems that this favor won't be very good?" Bai Xuan asked.

Xuanchen scratched his head and said, "Slowly pay it back." ”

"Yes. With a wave of Bai Xuan's sleeves, the cloud furnace "Flame Tiger" was lifted and moved to a flat ground. At the same time, Bai Xuan turned around and walked towards the cloud furnace, unnoticed by Xuan Chen, and smiled knowingly.

Xuan Chen followed.

"Instill aura into the wind outlet. Bai Xuan commanded.

"I, I'm coming?" asked Xuanchen in surprise.

Bai Xuan glanced at him, "Is that me?"

"Isn't it better for the teacher to come in person for such an important matter? I've never touched the cloud furnace, don't wait for it to come up, bang bang, and burn all these materials all at once. Xuanchen said.

"If it's gone, start over. Bai Xuan said indifferently.

Xuan Chen was dumbfounded, and then Bai Xuan suddenly shot out a cold glow, "No more nonsense, I'll throw you in." ”

Xuan Chen was suddenly frightened, hurriedly walked to the cloud furnace, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it on the head of the fiery red tiger on the right side of the flame tiger. The tiger's head was connected to the bottom of the cloud furnace, and with Xuanchen's aura infusion, a blazing fire cloud that was rolling like clouds and smoke emerged.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

It seems to be a white fire cloud that is as soft and pure as snow, but the temperature is extremely high, as if even the air around it is being baked, and people can smell the smell of scorching heat.

"First of all, you need to put in the demon core, which needs to be controlled in the 'cloud' position, which is the 'outer flame' similar to a normal flame, where the temperature is the highest. Bai Xuan said.

Hearing this, Xuan Chen picked up the demon core and threw it into the cloud furnace, and while maintaining the fire cloud with his right hand, he firmly controlled the demon core in the outer layer of the fire cloud.

Among the sealers, they call this "cloud".

"The aura infusion cannot be broken, and once the fire cloud dissipates, the previous efforts will be wasted. Bai Xuan reminded.

Xuan Chen's eyes were condensed, staring at the azure demon core that had submerged into the fire cloud. Not only to maintain the fire clouds to not disperse, but also to be distracted to control the position of the demon core without shifting, the fledgling Xuanchen was a little powerless. Either the fire cloud suddenly thinned, or the demon core went up and down, and the position was wavering, which can be described as embarrassing.

Only then did Xuan Chen know that the original inscription master must have a mental strength that is different from ordinary people, and it is exquisite. Because when refining inscriptions, it is often necessary to use two or even multiple purposes, which is a particularly depleting thing.

The glass is fragile, but the demon core with a similar shape is the opposite, unusually strong. It has been a stick of incense in the fire cloud for a while, and it is still not moving.

"The protective outer layer of the demon core is the most difficult part to refine, and only by breaking through this shell can the essence inside the demon core be used by people. Bai Xuan said.

Xuanchen increased the infusion of spiritual energy, and the temperature in the cloud furnace rose to a higher level, and the depths of the fire cloud seemed to condense a fierce tiger, repeatedly slamming towards the demon core.

The process of refining the demon core alone lasted for more than an hour, until a crack appeared on the surface of the demon core, Xuanchen was overjoyed and didn't have time to wipe the sweat beads rolling down his cheeks, the aura surged violently, and the fire cloud suddenly boiled and hit the crack.

Finally, there was a crisp "click" cracking sound from inside the cloud furnace. Cracks began to spread around the core, and tiny pieces of shards peeled off the core, eventually revealing a cloud of blue gelatinous liquid inside.

"Use the jade bottle to fill the demon core essence, and then the green fire grass, blood condensation fruit, and spirit grass can be put in at the same time, the three spirit grasses are very different from the demon core, they can't withstand too high temperatures, you need to control them in the 'cloud heart' position of the inner layer. ”

Xuan Chen took out a jade bottle, carefully packed the demon core essence, and then threw in the three spirit grasses in turn.

With the experience of refining the demon core, when refining the three of the green fire grass, Xuanchen became much more handy.

Surrounded by the fire clouds at the "cloud center", the green fire grass, the blood clotting fruit, and the hemostatic grass slowly withered, and then showed a blue-red, blood-red, and pale red liquid respectively, which were extracted drop by drop. The refining of the three spirit grasses was much simpler than the demon core, and in less than half an hour, it was completed, and the remaining residue was burned to ashes by the fire cloud.

"Put the juice extracted from the demon core essence and the three spirit grasses on the fire cloud, remember, you can't get contaminated with the fire cloud, just use the temperature on the cloud. Finally, pour in the ice spirit dew, and the five are fused. ”

Xuan Chen first raised his palm lightly, and hung the three spirit grass juices mixed into a ball of bewitching colors on the fire cloud, and then poured in the demon core essence and ice spirit dew in turn.

After the five come into contact, it is like water and water blending, and finally, the original mixed colors gradually become distinct, forming a pool of blue, red, and blue thick liquid.

With a wave of Bai Xuan's hand, five jade bottles appeared, "Put them up." ”

Xuanchen held the jade bottle in his hand and filled the refined three-color liquid in batches, a total of four and a half bottles, and it was slightly cool to start.

"Teacher, it's alright. Xuan Chen said happily, the first time he refined materials, he didn't expect that it would be smooth sailing, although there was Bai Xuan on the side to guide him step by step, but after all, understanding and doing it were two different things.

During refining, some subtle changes in the fire cloud cannot be observed with the naked eye, and can only be used to perceive and judge the good and bad refining status of the material by relying on telekinesis, and then adjust it.

In this way, it does benefit from Xuanchen's extraordinary mental strength.

Bai Xuan suddenly stared at Xuan Chen and said seriously, "Do you know that you are a good seedling to become an inscription master?"

Xuan Chen shook his head blankly, his only feeling was that when refining the materials, he got started quite smoothly and did not encounter too many difficulties and obstacles. But he never thought that this was a symbol of the talent for refining the seal, after all, refining materials was only the most basic necessary ability.

"You have met one of the two conditions to become an inscription artist. Bai Xuan said.

The reason why the sealer can be called the "chosen one" is naturally not simply to boast of praise. The conditions for becoming an inscription artist are harsh, and he deserves to be known as the word "Heavenly Choice".

First of all, the innate telekinesis is strong enough.

The second is that the Mandate of Heaven Seal must be opened.

The Mandate of Heaven Qiankun Seal, divided into Dry Seal and Kun Seal, is opened by the favor of the Mandate of Heaven when everyone is promoted to the martial artist level.

If one of the two seals is opened, it means that you are qualified to become an inscription artist.

On the contrary, when the two seals are not opened when promoted to the martial artist level, it means that there is no chance with the inscription master in this life.

Therefore, after the screening of the two conditions, the inscription master naturally becomes a rare existence.

For the inscription master, Xuanchen is of course the same as the general public, dreaming of it. That casual one can make countless people crazy for the imprint, which is enough to make people's hearts surge.

"As for the second condition, when it is broken to the martial artist level in the near future, it will naturally be known. Bai Xuan said.

"I hope that at that time, I can open the Qiankun Seal. Xuan Chen muttered to himself.

Then he asked, "Is the teacher an inscription master?" I see that the teacher seems to be very familiar with the refining materials. ”

Bai Xuan replied, "No, it's just a matter of seeing and hearing." ”

"That's right. Xuan Chen's eyes drooped down slightly.

Bai Xuan seemed to sense Xuan Chen's mood swings, and he added, "But I know that there is a person who will be happy to teach you if you really have a chance to find a new path." ”

Xuan Chen's face was full of doubts, "I know?"

Bai Xuan thought about it and gave a vague answer, "You can say you know, you can say you don't know." ”

Xuanchen is even more like falling clouds.

"All in all, that guy is more patient and warmer than me, and he's happy to see him, and you, too, are sure to like it. ”

"Anyway, he is very protective of his shortcomings, and he is sincere and treats everyone around him. ”
