As soon as everyone looked at each other, they found that in the lineup of guards in the city this time, the "Four Princes of Yujing" were all there. This also means that the younger generation of Yujing has begun to join the family affairs one after another.

For a while, all the characters with a little face in the various family forces rushed up, with the four of them as the center, greeting each other, and climbing friendship.

Especially Fu Mingxuan's side is the most crowded, he has not been in Yujing for a long time in the past few years, although he goes home once every few years, but he is also in a hurry. Many small families with insufficient status have never seen him in person.

Yan Kaiting was the first to get out, this lord's bad temper is too loud, someone came up and slapped his ass a few times, seeing that his face was dark and he didn't show joy, so he didn't dare to entangle more.

Han Fenglai had already retreated behind the Sun Huabiao, his outfit would have been asked about, but at the moment, the scene was not like war preparations but like a party, and no one cared to pay attention to whether he was the new powerhouse of the Fu family or the Yan family.

Yan Kaiting strode over, tilted his head to see him, and said, "What are you doing standing there, follow me!" As he spoke, he entered the central courtyard where the four corners of Huabiao were connected. Han Fenglai was still holding Konghou in his arms, and hurriedly ran over to follow.

That courtyard is where the cornerstone of the formation eye is located, which is closed in peacetime, and is the command place of this area in wartime, and only the strong people who lead the team are allowed to enter.

There is no superfluous landscape in the courtyard, the brown jade is spread all over every inch of the ground, and the inner walls are of the same material, but the color is slightly lighter, as if it was carefully selected when it was built.

In the center is a large hall-like building, at this moment, the doors of the four halls are wide open, and you can clearly see that inside is a large magic weapon in the shape of a dense eaves tower, and the Dao Dao light belt is flickering around it, and strings of runes appear from time to time.

There are some desks and mats in the open air in the courtyard, which are obviously temporary furnishings for the use of the town guards, not permanent things here. At this moment, no one was seated in the courtyard, only a few servants wearing the uniform clothes of the City Lord's Mansion shuttled between the banquets to make final preparations.

Yan Kaiting sat casually, and beckoned Han Fenglai to sit down as well.

There was actually wine and snacks in the food box on the side of the case, Yan Kaiting picked it up and took a look, it was a very light plum brew, he shook the wine bottle at Han Fenglai and said, "Do you want a bowl?"

Han Fenglai's eyes widened and shook his head resolutely, "Don't." ”

Yan Kaiting casually stuffed the porcelain bottle with a slender neck back into the food box, showing that he himself had no interest in drinking.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fall into a silence with big eyes and small eyes, Yan Kaiting seemed to have finally thought of a topic.

"There is a saying in the craftsman's mansion industry that when the rain was venerable, the Venerable created the method of making magic weapons that 'open the mold', although he pointed out a shortcut to the refiner to create magic weapons that are higher than his own ability, but it also cut off the livelihood of many small craftsmen's mansions, is there such a saying?"

Han Fenglai was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Yan Kaiting's curious but thoughtless eyes, he was sure that he was not alluding to the expansion and merger of the "Yetian Workshop" by asking this question.

Venerable Yushi is a powerhouse on the floating chart list and a genius-type refining master. He is not keen on refining spirit weapons and immortal weapons, but likes to make all kinds of clever gadgets, many of which have never been conceived before, which can be called amazing and beautiful.

However, the refiner refining weapons can be said to be exploring the Great Dao, and for the monks who use weapons, it is still to improve their survival possibilities when cultivating. Therefore, if the power of those utensils is limited, or if they are not powerful at all, people may not only be amazed for a moment, and only the nuns may prefer to collect and play with them.

The complete process of a refining tool is divided into six stages, smelting, purification, shaping, casting, opening formation, and shaping. For most people, the seventh stage of the spirit will not be used for a lifetime.

And in this process, those who must rely on the workshop fire dragon furnace and the magic circle painting tools can only be called craftsmen, and those who have their own fire refining methods are the real refiners. It can be seen that among the thousands of cultivators, the number of cultivators who refine the weapon is actually limited.

However, both craftsmen and refiners had their own processes to make an artifact before the Venerable One of the Rain created the method of "opening the mold".

However, the emergence of the method of "opening the mold" has changed this process. This is another subversive creation after the appearance of drawings in the history of refining.

Drawings are to fix the crafting methods of some commonly used weapons and magic weapons, so that they are no longer unique. Mold opening is to smelt, purify, shape and cast the four stages that most affect the quality of weapon embryos, and assist in molding by fixing the mold, fixing the fire and fixing the fire dragon channel, so as to reduce the influence of the refiner's own operation.

A person will always have some shortcomings in a certain section, just like most craftsmen who are not fire are more difficult in purification, and craftsmen who are not delicate in temperament may be slightly rough in shape. Fixing the first four sections will greatly flatten the quality of the final product.

Of course, a smelting mold that can replace manpower, not to mention the difficulty of making the real thing, is a treasure just because the material itself is not refined. Not to mention the resources to be consumed in the later stages.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for individuals and small craftsmen to achieve the method of "opening molds", but for large craftsmen, it is a good shortcut to improve the overall quality.

Just like the weapons made according to the drawings will only be mass products, the basic embryos of molded weapons, the quality is stable, but it cannot be the best.

However, on the path of cultivation, resources are so scarce, let alone this kind of weapon of war that will never be enough. How much casual cultivation can only use ordinary weapons, even if you cut a few more fierce beasts, the knife will be missing. A long time ago, magic weapons were once the exclusive resources of each sect, and they were not sold to casual cultivators at all, and the only way to obtain them was the black market, or they could only kill people and sell goods.

The "mold opening" approach looks good for all parties.

Many middle and high-level weapons with one or two difficulties in the process are the first to greatly improve the yield rate, and they will soon be popularized in the market. Users get a larger supply. Manufacturers rely on this method, learning from their own strengths and working together to make a better finished product than if they were refining it themselves.

However, at the workshop level, the expansion of the top craftsmen and the merger of the subordinates were soon formed.

The refiner is still the highest-end resource, and his status has not wavered in the slightest. However, skilled craftsmen, the special products of the craftsman's house, the different fires of various attributes, and the basic materials have become the focus of the craftsmen's contention.

The reason is simple, 500 craftsmen are easier to screen and combine into more "mold" production lines than 100 craftsmen. And more characteristic products, whether it is a single sieve or a simple combination, may produce new products suitable for "mold opening".

Speaking of this, Han Feng glanced at Yan Kaiting, and he didn't know if this mansion master, who was said to have almost no field experience in the craftsman's mansion, could understand.

Yan Kaiting crossed his knees and elbows, supported his chin, and kept putting on a thoughtful posture, but at this time, Han Fenglai came to stand up, and he reacted immediately, as if he was really listening.

"Well, I understand, as long as there is an eternal shortage of monks' weapons, there will always be the possibility of new ones in the refining process. Even if it is not the method of 'opening the mold' this time, it may be a change of 'opening the formation' and 'stereotyping' later. Speaking of this, Yan Kaiting touched his chin and said, "'Open Formation' is actually a universal magic array, and formation cultivation is originally a big method!"

Han Fenglai's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Many of the refining masters are fellow cultivators of the instrument and array. He wasn't sure if Yan Kai Court really had something to gain, or if he said it in passing.

Yan Kaiting nodded matter-of-factly: "Oh." ”

Seeing that he was about to end the topic with another word, someone else finally came in outside the courtyard gate.

This time it was Lu Li, the lord of the Yujing seat of the "Golden Valley Garden", who got out.

Lu Li is an elegant young man in his twenties, with a slightly round face, small eyes, and two crescents when he laughs. From the hair to the dark cloud silk shoes on the feet, it is written that harmony is precious, auspicious and wealthy.

He is a well-known gentleman in the "Four Sons of Yujing", not to mention Tu Yuyong and Fu Mingxuan, he has a good relationship with Yan Kaiting, and he is a friend who can go to the flower boat to have fun together. It's just that recently, Yan Kaiting chased the Linxi people of "Yilan Zhou", and Lu Li held a banquet over there, and he didn't move him after calling a few times.

Lu Li saw that Yan Kaiting didn't talk about red tape, so he found a place nearby to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yo, Brother Ting'er looks good, this is a sign that his wishes have come true!"

Yan Kaiting choked for a moment, since he saw everyone in the book, Lu Li always made fun of him, but at this moment, he couldn't proudly tell him that when he really wanted to do something.

So Yan Kaiting could only glance at him and said, "The secret is to tell you, thank you! Carve a mahogany beauty on the desk and put it on your desk, and let you sleep." "Isn't he just talking about it, isn't it a room full of mahogany!

Lu Li is no stranger to Yan Mansion, and he has also entered the "Flower Buxie Garden", and said with a smile: "I haven't got this wood from the north, it's not easy to buy, can you tear down a wallboard for me to use?"

In order to prevent Yan from opening the court and him from being poor all the time, Lu Li didn't wait for Yan to open the court, gestured to the door, and said, "Mingxuan and Brother Yong'er will come in immediately, and they are already arranging the defense outside." ”

Yan Kaiting nodded lazily, looking uninterested.

Lu Li didn't think it was strange, and still chatted with him with a match.

But listening carefully, Lu Li's words were very measured, how many things had happened in the past two days, but his mouth was full of wind and snow, and there was no superfluous inquiry, even Han Fenglai, who was sitting next to Yan Kaiting, didn't just ask.

At this time, the powerhouses of each family also began to come in one after another, and there were not many of them. Generally, the four major families will bring three or four chief stewards or guest secretaries, and the rest of the families will only have one or two people, and not every family force present is qualified to send people in.

The courtyard where the array is located is so big that it makes no sense to fill in people's heads. Especially in the main hall where the magic weapon is located, it is even more necessary for the guardian to be able to accurately control the strength, so as not to accidentally damage the ultimate, and if the strength is almost there, don't come in and cause chaos.

When Fu Mingxuan and Tu Yuyong came in together, more than 30 people gathered in the courtyard, and they were basically all there.

The host here, of course, is still the City Lord's Mansion in name. A great elder of the Tu family gave a defense explanation to everyone, and Tu Yuyong stood aside to accompany him.

There is nothing special about the Great Elder's speech, Yujing City has to be practiced every year, and all the processes are familiar to him. However, everyone in the seats still listened carefully, and even Yan Kaiting, who participated in the court for the first time, was very face-saving, and kept a serious face throughout the whole process, and the Great Elder couldn't help but be extremely pleased.

This is the first time Tu Yuyong has appeared in public on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, and his expression is quite flamboyant. As soon as the explanation was over, he didn't return to his seat in that area of Tu's house, but ran to Yan Kaiting's side excitedly, sitting down without asking.

Tu Yuyong saw Han Fenglai on the other side at a glance, looked up and down, and didn't ask too much, then turned to Yan Kaiting, bumped into him and said, "Brother Ting, I can't see that you have made great progress recently." Come on, you and I don't need spirit soldiers, fight again!"

The two have been fighting since childhood, how can Yan Kaiting pay attention to him, but Tu Yuyong refuses to give up easily, just sits and doesn't leave, and says: "After tonight, I don't know life and death, what are you still hiding!"

The two didn't know how long they had been grinding, and a complacent voice suddenly came from the side, "The villain is fortunate to win again, can you teach the master of Yan Mansion next?"

Tu Yuyong's face sank suddenly when he heard this, but Yan Kaiting's expression remained unchanged, still looking at the challenger lazily.
