Chapter 324: The Strange Circle of Survival

Cultivation emphasizes talent, and this is the consensus of practitioners. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Whether it is physical condition or self-understanding, it is within the range of talent.

There is no such thing as a genius for no reason, genius comes from talent, and the foundation is the root of showing talent.

This is true of alchemy, and so is the refiner.

Yun Yi once had the foundation of refining weapons, but he didn't study it in depth, let alone know the macroscopic characteristics of the golden aura.

In the face of the problem of advancement, he had to change his thinking.

The high-level of the Enlightenment Realm had to master the macroscopic characteristics of aura, and whether he wanted to be distracted or not to refine the blade, he had to compromise for now. The blade was made of metal, and to understand the characteristics of the gold system, he had to work in the forging industry.

The outer gate of the Hundred Instruments Sect is quite special, and all the outer disciples have no chance to come into contact with the blade refining. All they can do is deal with ore. Whether it is rough selection or selection, after all, you can only see the surface condition of the ore.

To study and taste the potential form of metal, the only way to go is to enter the inner door, which is the only option.

The outer door is promoted to the inner door, Yun Yi has already experienced it in the Hundred Medicine Gate, and he must participate in the inner door assessment. Looking at the current management status of Baiqimen, this form of assessment should not be ignored.

It's just a matter of when it will be held.

Yun Yi asked Zhou Xiaofeng, "When is the inner door assessment set and what content is to be assessed?"

"From today, there are still two months. What is the content of the assessment......" Zhou Xiaofeng laughed, "It's simple, just refine a weapon, or a knife or a sword or an axe, as long as it's a blade." The inner door has a corresponding weapon to slash with your blade. If you win, you will advance, if you lose, stay honestly in the outer door. ”

Yun Yi understood, this was to test the temperer's heat. Only when the fire is up and the refined blade has a certain strength can it enter the inner door.

"How many outer disciples participate in the assessment each time?"

"Not necessarily, there is only one assessment a year, sometimes 100 people, sometimes 3 or 2 people, and at most more than 500 people. The promotion depends entirely on ability, and it doesn't matter if there are many people or less. Zhou Xiaofeng explained.

Yun Yi continued to ask, "It seems that the outer disciples don't have a chance to refine the blade, right?"

Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head, "I don't think there is a chance, I don't want to find a chance." Each day's tasks are fixed, and there is plenty of time to speculate on refining skills when you complete them. If you can't learn it deeply, you should be able to guess the craftsmanship of the blacksmith outside. ”

"Takami!"

Yunyi walked away with the harvest.

Kuzhu was still sifting ore through the open storage yard, and he had no resistance to the task. As Kong Zhu himself said, he has no foundation in refining weapons, and now he can learn from scratch.

Yun Yi found him and repeated what Zhou Xiaofeng had said to him.

After pondering, Kongzhu asked, "Then let's go to a blacksmith to learn the trade?"

Yun Yi spread his hands, "Then it's up to you." ”

Kongzhu didn't reply, and his hands swung rapidly like a grinding plate. The hammer in his hand struck the ore with a series of crisp sounds. In order to catch up with the task and make time, he also gave up.

A mid-level master in the dignified Enlightenment Realm, doing the simplest screening task is really a bit overkill. But once Dacai does things seriously, its efficiency is also extremely high. Originally, the amount of tasks in one day was completed in one hour.

The hammer threw his head, and he happily followed Yun Yi out of the Baiqi Gate and came to the town of Qingqiu Town.

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and this is the case in Qingqiu Town. Relying on the existence of Baiqimen, the most common trade in the entire town is blacksmithing.

There are indeed many cultivators in the world, but the most of them are ordinary people. Cultivators can buy magic weapons at a high price, ordinary people can't use them, but ordinary swords can be used for self-defense. And Baiqimen looks down on these ordinary broken copper and iron.

As long as there is a need, someone will do it. The business that Baiqimen does not do, the people of Qingqiu Town can do it, and they can do it well. The streets are full of blacksmith shops.

Yun Yi and Kongzhu didn't need to judge, and when they saw that there was a blacksmith shop, they stepped forward and asked the master, "Boss, do you want to recruit small workers?" ”

The master waved at them, "Someone has done it, go ask somewhere else." ”

Don't be paid, work for nothing, and still can't find a job. It's a strange thing.

Yun Yi can understand that Qingqiu Town relies on the Hundred Instruments Gate, and there are so many disciples in the outer sect, as long as he has a little thought, he will definitely be able to think of a way to find a job and become proficient in refining skills.

No matter how many blacksmith shops there are, they can't withstand the many disciples of the outer sect. One family took in two, and there was no shortage of people in the blacksmith shop.

Yun Yi and Kong Zhu wandered around the eighteen houses on the street, and the answers they received were unified and affirmative, "There is no shortage of people, let's ask elsewhere." ”

Seeing this, they didn't continue to wander around. The blacksmith shops on the street are doing very well, and there is certainly no shortage of manpower, and no one wants to continue to turn around. If you want to find a blacksmith shop that has no business, you can only find it.

If you don't have a business, you naturally don't recruit people. Even if you recruit people, you have to recruit masters, and the masters don't look down on that kind of shop, which becomes a cycle of evil consequences.

The two left the street and turned into the alley. I have to say that the iron culture in Qingqiu Town is very prosperous, selling knives and swords on the street, and the people in the alleys are selling iron products. All kinds of gadgets, just look exquisite, obviously carefully polished.

Yun Yi is not interested in this kind of business. What he is looking for is a shop that opens and closes to strike iron, and only in that kind of place can he intuitively taste the characteristics of the gold system.

After turning nearly ten alleys, both of them were about to faint, and finally saw a grass shed by the Qingqiu River.

An old man is shirtless, holding a hammer, burning the stove by himself, striking the iron by himself, looking at the shabby appearance, needless to say, the business is not much better.

Yun Yi and Kong Zhu stepped forward, and before they could speak, the old man put a red-hot big knife in front of the two of them, and asked with a wary eye, "What are you going to do?"

Yun Yi and Kongzhu looked really young, and when they came to this inaccessible river, anyone would speculate whether they were thieves who were running around and robbing.

Yun Yi arched his fist, "Old man, we are from the Baiqi Gate, and we want to get an errand with you." I don't need to be paid, I don't have to take care of food, I work for nothing, I just want to learn a craft. ”

The old man waved his hand, "Let's go, I'm not short of people." ”

Kongzhu gave Yun Yi a look, Yun Yi understood, and walked away helplessly. Walking a little farther, Kongzhu said: "Senior brother, is this a master of hidden cultivation?"

Yun Yi looked at him, a little undecided. The reason why Kongzhu's grandfather moved to Linhezhuang was because he wanted to cultivate in seclusion. It's no wonder that he thinks that the old man who strikes iron is a master. After all, far away from the crowd by the river, striking iron alone satisfies the conditions of the world's fantasy.

Yun Yi waved his hand, "Go back." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the old man again, and put on a menacing appearance. Masters have strange tempers and can't be measured by common sense.

Hearing footsteps again, the old man turned his head sharply, this time with a hammer. He stared at Yun Yi fiercely, "Let me tell you, I have practiced martial arts, and I know martial arts." If you don't leave, I'll ...... It's a shout. ”

When the old man said this, Yun Yi was surprised by beads of sweat. This is a master? Where does a master come from, this is an ordinary person, or a widowed and helpless little old man.

Yun Yi pointed behind him, "Shout, no one will come to save you if you shout loudly." To tell you honestly, I have taken a fancy to your place, and you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't. ”

"I really don't have any money. The old man said pitifully. He still thinks that Yunyi and Kongzhu are robbery.

Yun Yi took out a piece of crystal jade, flawless and top-grade spirit stone from the Yu Ring and threw it over, "I have money." ”

The old man hurriedly picked it up, looked left and right, and said ecstatically: "This place belongs to you, thank you, uncle." "I'm leaving.

Kong Zhu hurriedly stopped her, "Why are you going?" Yun Yi fell in love with this stall because there was an old man and he was still a blacksmith. Without him, what's the use of a broken shop? Yunyi and Kongzhu are not professional iron-making, and some basic knowledge still needs to be taught by the old man.

Kongzhu didn't scare the old man, and told him what he wanted.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't do my craft, and no one wants a sword." As he spoke, he picked up the reddened broken knife on the stove, "Look, I worked hard for three days to make such a thing." Those who practice martial arts said that this knife is also worth a low-grade spirit stone. ”

"It's okay to scare people, but it's useless to fight people. My old man doesn't have much money to buy carbon stone, and the more reluctant he is to spend the money, the poorer he is. It's not like there's not even a nest. ”

Yun Yi had already thought about his dilapidated house, and what he cared about was the skill of striking iron. He copied the hot broken knife and looked at it, and saw that it was full of holes and unevenness. According to the popular saying, this is not burned through, and the firepower is not enough.

This kind of broken knife is not to mention fighting against people, and it can be broken in half with a single flick. Yun Yi swung it up, and with a snap, the broken knife broke into two sections from the middle.

Iron striking is not only about smashing with a hammer, but also about calcining with fire. According to Reiki, all metal ores have been precipitated for tens of thousands of years or even longer, and the characteristics of gold Reiki are very stable.

Fire is needed to change this property. Why it can be changed is the direction of Yunyi's perception.

He looked at the old man in contemplation, "How is your blacksmithing skills?"

"I've been in the business for 45 years, and I've opened a shop before. Later, something happened to my family and I was in debt, and I became like this. If you don't have money, you can't afford to buy carbonstone, and you can't afford to buy better ore, so you can't make money. I'm old, and the blacksmith doesn't dare to use me. The old man said calmly.

Yunyi can understand this strange circle. Since the old man has craftsmanship, it will be easy to do.

"Let's go, we'll help you solve your problem. Yun Yi said.

The old man showed joy, "Really, I know where to sell the best carbon stone, and I also know whose ore is cheaper." ”

With his guidance, things will be easy.

In the afternoon, the old man re-pasted a stove with mud, and also tested the temperature of the carbon stone, and said to Yunyi and Kongzhu with a smile on his face, "With such a good thing, I am sure that I can make a lot of money in half a year and buy another shop." ”

Yun Yi didn't dare to agree with his pursuit, and hurriedly reminded, "Old man, the meaning of the existence of this shop is for our brothers to try their hands, not to make you rich, you know?"

"Then what should I do?" asked the old man nervously.

Kongzhu replied to him, "All the swords we have refined are yours." ”

The old man's eyes widened, and his eyebrows fluttered and he exclaimed, "Really, great, you can try whatever you want, tell me what you want, don't be polite." ”

Yun Yi looked at his overexcited appearance, and shook his head helplessly, what an old money fan.
