Chapter 123: A fork in the road
readx;? Putting the Ten Thousand Furnaces and the crimson long sword into the storage ring, the old man in the green robe turned to Lan Feng and said, "The old man still has one important matter to deal with, so he won't stay here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Little one, you go on your own. ”
Lan Feng, who was extremely puzzled by the old man's words, nodded very happily after hearing the words of the old man in the green robe: "Okay, the junior will leave now......
Hurriedly went downstairs, carrying the mortal furnace on one shoulder and the box full of forging tools in the other, and within a moment, Lan Feng's figure disappeared from the Treasure Pavilion.
On the street, seeing Lan Feng wearing the unique uniform costume of the students of the Mengwu Academy, the people passing by respectfully avoided it.
Not paying attention to the respectful gazes of passers-by, Lan Feng said suspiciously: "Teacher, you just said that Senior Feng's refining methods are too cruel, what does this mean?"
Lan Feng didn't know the real name of the old man in the green robe, but he learned from Wan Changqing's name for the old man in the green robe that the senior should be surnamed Feng, although the surname Feng is rare, but for the huge Qingzhou Continent, it is nothing. After all, in the realm of the Han Dynasty alone, there are not a few people with the surname Feng, and it is not unusual for him to happen to meet one.
The old man's expression was rarely a little solemn, he frowned, and said slowly: "Through special refining techniques, the spirit of the demon beast is refined, and locked in the weapon, becoming the soul of the weapon, do you say cruel or not?"
His eyes widened suddenly, and Lan Feng was taken aback: "Demon Beast Spirit?"
nodded with a gloomy face, the old man's brows were still tightly locked: "Humans and demon beasts are opposites, the old man never thinks that there is anything wrong with humans killing monsters, nor does he think that there is anything wrong with monsters attacking humans, that monster beast died in the hands of humans, it can only mean that its own strength is not as good as people, and if it dies, it will die." It's just that the guy surnamed Feng didn't even let go of the spirit formed after the death of the demon beast, and forcibly refined it into a weapon soul, if there is hatred between the two, it can barely be said, if there is no hatred between the two, then it is too much......"
After a pause, Lan Feng echoed: "It's indeed a little cruel. ”
Listening to the young man's somewhat insincere words, the old man glanced at him and sighed: "The old man is not a hypocritical defender who can't rub a little sand in his eyes, it's just that the old man, as a tool spirit, still has some sympathy for these demon beast spirits that have been forcibly refined into weapon souls. Unlike the old man, those demon beast spirits, once they become instrument souls, will be enslaved by humans for eternity until they are wiped out and completely disappear from this world......"
Thinking of the old man's true identity, Lan Feng's words that he wanted to refute stopped at his lips and fell silent.
As a human being, although Lan Feng felt that this move was indeed a bit cruel, it was not unacceptable, but the old man was different, he was neither a human nor a demon beast, so he was naturally able to judge this matter from a more objective standpoint.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Lan Feng sighed in his heart and changed the subject: "By the way, teacher, you just said that the weapon soul ...... Shouldn't it be a machine spirit?"
As if he didn't perceive the young man's intentions, the old man followed the young man's topic and explained: "In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference between the machine spirit and the machine soul, but strictly speaking, there is still a big difference between the two. The soul is a soul that is forcibly refined into a weapon through special means, and in the process of fighting, once activated, it can instantly transform into a shape, and to a certain extent, exert part of its strength before birth, and help its owner win. The machine spirit is the consciousness body born under special conditions of the weapon itself, which is extremely rare, even those extremely powerful weapons, at most, only have a trace of spirituality, and it is still extremely far from the birth of the consciousness body. ”
After a slight pause, the old man continued: "Most machine spirits themselves do not possess great strength, but the existence of machine spirits can greatly increase the power of weapons. If the same weapon is born, its power will increase several times!"
After learning the difference between the soul and the spirit, Lan Feng was thoughtful.
"In addition, if the soul encounters a powerful attack, it will be wiped out, and without the soul, the power of the weapon itself is naturally not worth mentioning. As for the machine spirit, it is theoretically almost immortal, and as long as the weapon itself is not destroyed, the machine spirit can exist forever. Some powerful artifacts are able to survive even after their weapons have been destroyed. Of course, such a machine spirit is extremely rare, and the old man has never seen it yet......"
Rolling his eyes, Lan Feng smiled and slapped the old man's ass: "Who said that the teacher hasn't seen it?
"You kid ......" laughed and scolded, but on the old man's old face, there was a touch of pride, "Although you are a little suspicious of sycophancy, but what you said is not bad, the old man is indeed one of the best machine spirits in the world." ”
Obviously, for Lan Feng's sycophant, the old man was extremely useful, and his tone was much more relaxed.
After a moment of silence, the old man shook his head and sighed: "According to the old man's observation, I am afraid that the refiners of this world have all embarked on a fork in the road......
After understanding the difference between the machine soul and the machine spirit, Lan Feng recognized the old man's evaluation very much, and he thought deeply in his heart.
"In the era when the old man's consciousness was born, our Chinese swordsmiths also encountered bottlenecks, and some of them were quite evil refiners, in order to break through the bottleneck, they found another way and threw living humans into the swordsmithing pool...... The refiner of this world is almost the same as the swordsmith, the only difference is that the refiner can refine more types of weapons, not as single as the swordsmith. Seeing Lan Feng's rather curious look, the old man said more appropriately, "Back then, those evil swordsmiths were resisted by the vast majority of people, and then the orthodox swordsmiths, after unremitting efforts, finally created a different technique from the traditional swordsmithing, which can greatly increase the power of the weapon itself, which led the swordsmith's path back to the right path......
These ancient secrets, Lan Feng heard of them for the first time, and he was really curious, seeing that the old man suddenly stopped, he couldn't help urging: "Teacher, what else?"
"You want to hear about the things of the old man's time, there will be opportunities in the future, and now the old man will talk about the problem of this refiner first. The old man ignored Lan Feng's pouting in protest, stroked his beard, and said unhurriedly: "The refiners of this world are actually very similar to those evil swordsmiths in Huaxia, unfortunately, almost all the refiners did not realize that they had taken a fork in the road, and no one reminded them of ......"
Speaking of this, the old man stared at Lan Feng and smiled: "Little guy, this arduous character can only be completed by you!"
Coughing in embarrassment, Lan Feng touched his nose and said helplessly, "I'm just a little blacksmith, how can those high-ranking refiners believe my words?"
"Blacksmith?" pouted, but the old man glared at Lan Feng fiercely and said, "Little guy, don't be presumptuous. Maybe there are many seventeen-year-old blacksmiths in the whole world, but in the vicinity of this Red Rock City, there are only a handful. What's more, you have mastered the first realm of the breath forging method - the subtle realm, and the ability to remove material impurities, even the old man surnamed Feng, I am afraid that it is far inferior to you. On this point alone, in the vast Qingzhou Continent, you are definitely a top-level existence......"
Speaking of Xingtou, the old man was a little frowning, obviously extremely satisfied with Lan Feng's disciple.
"Am I so powerful? How come I don't know?" was praised by the old man like this, but Lan Feng was a little embarrassed.
Looking at the young man's slightly smug appearance, the old man's voice changed, and said: "Of course, apart from this, in other places, you are still just a rookie, well, probably only slightly better than those apprentices who are just getting started......"
Lan Feng suddenly rolled his eyes and snorted in a low voice, "Speaking of which, don't you just want to prove how powerful the 'Breath Forging Method' you created?"
"You kid......" The old man's body froze, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, the old man returned to the topic of Fang Cai, and said slowly: "But the refiners of this world have indeed taken a fork in the road. They spent all their energy on researching how to better refine the demon beast spirits, how to make these demon beast spirits retain their strength as much as possible after being refined, and how to make the compatibility between the refining materials and the demon beast spirits more ......"
Nodding, Lan Feng said in a deep voice: "If you refine a weapon like this, then the power of the weapon will be completely determined by the strength of the demon beast before its death, and in comparison, the power of the weapon itself is almost negligible......"
Glancing at Lan Feng in surprise, the old man nodded appreciatively: "Yes, I didn't expect you to see this problem too." The power of the weapon is not determined by the refiner, but by the strength of the demon beast during its lifetime, and the role that the refiner can play in it is insignificant, how sad is this?
Hearing this, Lan Feng, who was originally extremely eager to become a refiner, also faded into the eager to try.
Although he was extremely disdainful of the refining methods of the refiners of this world, the old man still did not underestimate them in the slightest, and he said with a straight face: "Generally speaking, although the refiners of this world are not able to ascend to the hall of elegance, you must not underestimate them, let alone the weapons they refine, otherwise, you will suffer in their hands sooner or later." ”
Seeing the old man telling himself so cautiously, Lan Feng immediately put away the contempt in his heart and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't underestimate anyone!"
