Chapter 219: Apprenticeship
Long Yuan followed Chi Yan to find Chi Yu, and Chi Yan said Long Yuan's request.
After hearing this, Akabane said: "Although we basically don't use weapons, we have never lacked weapons. The four elders have been complaining for a long time, saying that we don't even need weapons now, and there is no place for him in the clan. Today I will keep him busy. ”
"Thank you, seniors. ”
"Eh, you don't need to say more about this thank you in the future, and you'll see it again. ”
Long Yuan was helpless, so he could only clasp his fists and salute.
Later, Chi Yu took Long Yuan and Chi Yan to a stone chamber in the depths of the cave.
"The Fourth Elder is the oldest elder in our clan, because he is a refiner, and his cultivation is only in the Equal Realm, so he has not been able to sit in the position of the Great Elder. The four elders don't like to be busy, they only like weapons. This is his arsenal. Chi Yan explained.
Long Yuan had heard Chi Yan mention that the four elders in the clan were a refiner, and it was because of this that he went to find Chi Yan.
Long Yuan's eyes were wide open as the two of them entered the stone room, only to see that there were many weapons on the table in the stone room, most of them were swords, and there were some strange-shaped weapons in the corners, row by row, the number was no less than three hundred.
Among them, many weapons are crystal clear, and there seems to be liquid flowing inside, all kinds of colors, like a landscape painting.
There are also weapons with a few holes in them, and from time to time there is breath in the holes, just like a human breathing. Other weapons are ice blue throughout, with a layer of frost around them.
The list goes on and on.
Next to the table in the center of the stone room, an old man stroked a long sword on the table, and an electric arc appeared on the sword from time to time.
This old man is the four elders, Chihong.
Chihong's aura didn't let out much, but Long Yuan felt a kind of coercion from him, the gap between him and this fourth elder was too big.
"Four Elders. Akabane greeted.
Chihong didn't look up, and said, "What are you still doing here, the clansmen don't use weapons anymore, what are you still doing with my old bones?"
"I'm here to refine weapons from you today. ”
"Huh?" Chihong looked up sharply, his cloudy old eyes shining and staring at Akabane.
"Come and see who's behind me. Akabane said, then took a step back sideways.
Chi Hong saw Chi Yan and Long Yuan in a blink of an eye.
"Ahh......h He ......" Chihong exclaimed after seeing Long Yuan.
Long Yuan was no longer surprised by this, since he learned that his father was the benefactor of the Fire Crown Cave Heaven, and then thought of the expressions on the faces of Akabane and several elders when they saw him when they first arrived at the Fire Crown Cave Heaven, he guessed that his appearance might be quite similar to his father.
Chi Yu pointed to Chi Hong in front of his lips, then pulled him aside and whispered, pointing at Long Yuan and saying, "It's this little friend of Long Yuan who wants you to refine two weapons." ”
Chi Hong then restrained his aura, he stared at Long Yuan for a long time, then nodded, and then asked Chi Yu and Chi Yan, "Then do you two want to refine weapons?"
The two shook their heads.
"Since you don't need to refine weapons, you can get out of here, and he stays. Chihong pointed at Long Yuan and said.
The corners of Chi Yu and Chi Yan's mouths twitched at the same time, secretly slandering this old man for still having such a stinky temper.
Shaking his head, Chi Yu smiled and said helplessly: "Okay, let's go." ”
Then the father and son walked out of the stone room.
After Chi Yu and Chi Yan left, Chi Hong began to look around Long Yuan.
"Why is the realm so low, it is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes. Chihong's lips moved slightly, and he muttered in a low voice.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Long Yuan's face, and although Chi Hong barely made a sound, he still heard this.
"The junior has just received the baptism of induction, so ......" Long Yuan scratched his head and explained.
"Huh, can you hear me?" Chi Hong looked at Long Yuan in surprise.
Long Yuan nodded.
Chihong glanced at Long Yuan again, and then his eyes widened.
Long Yuanden felt a wave of dizziness, and then he stabilized his mind and instinctively stepped back.
"Hey, although this kid's realm is not high, his mental power is outstanding, and he is a lot higher than Chiyan's kid. Chihong's eyes lit up, and he felt the breath emanating from Xia Longyuan again, and a pair of cloudy eyes rolled.
Long Yuan was a little uncomfortable stared at by Chihong's gaze, and took a few steps back, he could feel that his dizziness just now was related to this fourth elder.
Chi Hong circled around Long Yuan a few times and looked him up and down, then nodded, and said to himself: "Such a pure fire attribute true qi, and only a talent Qi Yuan Realm, just right, just right." ”
"Boy, how long have you been in this Qi Yuan Realm. ”
Long Yuan lowered his head and calculated, he had been cultivating since he was four years old, and it seemed that he had only reached the Qi Yuan Realm in one year, and he had been able to gather qi and solidify qi, and it should have been thirteen years by now, plus two years in the medicine gourd, it would have been fifteen years.
"It's been at least ten years. The qualifications of the juniors are dull, and there are some other reasons, so they stay in the Qi Yuan Realm for a long time. Long Yuan was embarrassed to say that he had been in the Qi Yuan Realm for fifteen years, a few years less.
Chihong's eyes widened and said, "At least ten years, good, good, very good." Tsk, boy, learn how to craft weapons with me. ”
Long Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "The junior already has a teacher. ”
"Who said that with a master, you can't learn to refine weapons, I also refine weapons, can't I also practice martial arts. I'm still in the same realm now, and you're still a long way from me. If you follow me to learn how to refine weapons, I can at least let you reach my realm. How's that, to learn or not?"
Long Yuan was speechless for a while, his vision was more than equal realm, he hesitated for a long time, he just wanted to shake his head, only to see Chihong with an old face, and said: "If you don't learn, you can leave, and I won't refine weapons for you." ”
"Huh?"
Long Yuan was a little stunned, these four elders had too strange tempers.
Seeing that the four elders continued to touch the weapons on the table, ignoring his meaning, Long Yuan froze in place, not knowing where to stay.
Long Yuan thought about it for a while, and felt that he had the "Weapon Mystery" and the medicine gourd in his hand, which could just make up for the starting point requirements of this martial art, and he would not suffer a loss if he had one more skill, and after thinking about it, he said: "Fourth Elder, the junior will learn to refine weapons with you. ”
When Chi Hong heard this, his face immediately changed, and his originally straight old face also smiled, and his old face was wrinkled and furrowed, like an earthworm.
"That's just like the words. In that case, whatever weapon you want, I will refine two of the best weapons for you, and you will get them tomorrow. Chihong smiled.
"Oh. The junior wants a long whip and a short sword, and in that case, the junior will take his leave first. ”
Chihong grabbed Long Yuan and said, "I said you came to pick it up tomorrow, but I didn't say that you were okay today." Next, let's talk about refining weapons. Since you are learning how to refine weapons with me, should you call me Master?"
Long Yuan frowned, and said helplessly: "The junior already has a master, and he can't call others Master, I will call you a teacher." If you don't want to, then forget it, I won't learn this refining weapon. ”
Old Chihong blinked a few times, he didn't expect Long Yuan to be so tough.
"Yes, so can the teacher. ”
Long Yuan hurriedly made a disciple salute and called out to the teacher.
"That's how you apprenticed?" Chihong glared at Long Yuan, then sat down on a chair beside him, tapping his fingers on the tea table beside him.
Seeing this, Long Yuan took the cup on the tea table, brewed new tea, and then knelt on the ground with both hands up, and said respectfully: "Teacher, please use tea." ”
Chihong's old face was full of wrinkles with a smile, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Chihong didn't say anything, Long Yuan raised his lamp and knocked his head three times, and said, "Teacher, please use tea." ”
Chihong took the tea and drank it.
"Get up. ”
Chihong stroked his beard quite proudly and said, "Apprentice, how much do you know about the refiner?"
"Uh...... Nothing. Long Yuan scratched his head, he still knew something about the Qi Yuan Magician, but he didn't know anything about the Alchemist.
"Didn't your master mention the alchemist to you?"
Long Yuan had to talk about his life in Longyin Villa in general.
"Your master...... Not bad. "Chi Hong Dao.
Long Yuan listened to Chi Hong's retorts, and lowered his head, he really couldn't refute it.
"Forget it, I'll tell you. When the disciples of the Martial Sect are in the Qi Yuan Realm, some talents will be revealed, and they will be able to become Qi Yuan Magicians and Refiners, although this probability is not large. I won't talk about Qi Yuan Magician, if you want to become a refiner, you not only need your own breath to have high compatibility and carveability, but also a very important requirement is that the true qi in your body must have fire attributes and a small amount of metallicness, and you must also have good mental power. "Chi Hong Dao.
"Teacher, what is telekinesis?" asked Long Yuan without understanding.
"The power of thought is the power of the mind in the purple mansion, also known as the power of the spirit, which is generated in the forehead, and is the same source as the yang god and yin god that the Xuanmen monks say, and the wish power that Buddhist practitioners often talk about. Mental power is as important as physical strength, people who lack physical strength will be physically exhausted, and those who deplete mental power will be haggard, but the people of martial arts disciples rarely know mental power, and they don't know what mental power does. ”
"Teacher, what is the purpose of telekinesis?"
"Do you think that the state of mind and the body of thought are just a title?"
"Could it be that if a martial artist wants to break through to the realm of thought, he must have extraordinary mental power?"
"Some powerhouses in the world also have many existences that can impact the mind realm, but they all fail because of the lack of mental power, and the sooner the cultivation of mental power, the better. An old man of great strength is not necessarily as tenacious in his mind as a poor young man. "Chi Hong Dao.
"Mental power is generated in the Purple Mansion, and the Purple Mansion is located in the forehead?" Long Yuan was puzzled, after the synaesthesia realm, he was able to use his true qi to travel in his body and look inward, but he did not find such an existence.
So he looked inside his body again and looked for the Purple Mansion, but there was no result for a long time.
"Stupid. I don't blame you, your master's pot. Don't invoke your true qi to form the five senses, look for it purely with your mental power, focus your mind to the maximum extent, and feel the top of your eyebrows. "Chi Hong Dao.
Long Yuan followed as he said, closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind focused on the inside of his forehead, and finally found that there was an area about three inches deep, like a flat ground.
"Why is this kid's mental power so strong?" Chi Hong couldn't help but widen his eyes, he had tested Long Yuan's mental power before, but he felt that it was a cut higher than Chi Yan, and now he felt that Long Yuan's mental power was so strong, and that mental power was even higher than when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
