410 The Gatekeeper of Cao Mansion
"Boy, wait and see. The old man of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info want you to understand that if you enter the tiger's den, don't want to get out alive! No matter how powerful your alchemy skills are, if you offend the Cao Mansion, it will be a dead end. ”
Yan Shien sneered, walked on his figure-eight legs with his hands on his back, and took Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue to the direction of the refining workshop in Cao's Mansion.
During the day, there were only people on the side of the Refinery.
On one side of the refiner's mansion is the residence, which is only used for living at night, and during the day, only the women and children in the mansion are there, and there are no strong men in sight. If someone is idle in the residence during the day, it must be a person who is idle and does not do his job, and it is a shame for the refiner.
On the other side of the house is the refining workshop, which is in full swing during the day, and many strong men are frank-chested and bare-chested, burning fine charcoal to make a fire, and they are sweating all over the smelting.
This is almost the usual layout of the Refining Family's residence.
Almost all of the refining masters are refining idiots, and they may think of strange recipes or refining techniques at any time, and they can't help but want to refine them by hand. It is naturally the most convenient to get up from the house and run to the refining furnace next door to do it.
The layout of Cao Mansion is certainly no exception.
As a thousand-year-old refining family in the imperial city, refining weapons at any time is almost integrated into the bloodline of the Cao family. Among the hundreds of acres of mansions, half of them are large and small refining furnace rooms.
Among them, the largest one is a giant high-grade refining furnace of tens of zhang, which is owned by Old Man Cao, and it has a fire almost all year round and never stops. He became the queen of refining, and he rarely took on refining work, so he liked to practice and play by himself, pondering some advanced alchemy.
However, in recent years, the flames of this giant refining furnace have rarely been lit.
Especially in the past six months, the furnace fire has been extinguished, and the refining furnace has been cold and silent.
There are more than ten other slightly smaller refining furnaces in the compound. It is the descendants and apprentices of Old Man Cao, who are all kings of refining. The smaller furnace is the refining furnace of the disciples and grandchildren.
The larger the furnace, the more ore material can be loaded in one go. A refining furnace of tens of zhang was filled with fourth-order Xuanjin ore, and after refining, it was estimated that in the end, it was only estimated that a piece of finished fourth-order Xuanjin would be the size of a palm.
If you use a small refining furnace. It is estimated that after refining, only a few fourth-order Xuanjin grains with sesame seeds can be found, and even refining into a golden needle secret weapon is too small to be useless.
Therefore, the stronger the refiner, the larger the refining furnace is often needed.
Yan Shien took Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue into the refining workshop area. It's a hot place, and many refiners are busy.
What made Ye Fan strange was that almost all of them were below the level of refining masters. Only a few King of Refining Weapons were seen. But also absent-minded. I guess I'm busy with other things.
"Uncle Yan!"
"Uncle Yan!"
"Master Yan!"
Many of the younger generation of disciples and grandchildren of Cao Mansion saw Yan Shien appear, and they hurriedly saluted Yan Shien. Although Yan Shien is the gatekeeper of Cao's Mansion, he is one of the personal disciples of Old Man Cao, and he is not at the level of refiner, and his seniority alone is high.
Yan Shien snorted and nodded at the refining apprentices, pointed at the hundreds of refining apprentices in the refining workshop, and smiled at Ye Fan: "Oh! In the Imperial City, he is also considered to have outstanding qualifications, so he is qualified to enter the Cao Mansion to work and work. The old man is atmospheric today. You pick one. Let them do whatever they want!"
"I'm here to find Old Man Cao!"
Ye Fan said lightly.
Others, even the King of Refining, are useless.
"You don't even have enough materials to buy this piece of Yuan Stone, so you can only ask a refining apprentice from Cao Mansion to do a day's work for you!
Yan Shien's words were unspeakably mocking. "Add a few hundred or a few thousand, the old man is in a good mood, and he may be able to help you introduce a refining master or something. ”
Of course, the master refiner is of no use either.
Ye Fan's own level was several big ranks higher than that of the refining master. There is only the old man Cao of Cao Mansion, the emperor of refining. to help him.
"Alas!"
Ye Fan could see that Yan Shien was ready to humiliate himself and find trouble for himself anytime and anywhere. But why doesn't this Master Yan remember the lesson, can he teach him once, but can't teach him a second time?!
Gu Xinyue didn't say anything, she was very curious about how Ye Fan planned to find trouble in Cao Mansion.
Ye Fan couldn't talk to Yan Shien, and looked around.
In the workshop area of this Cao Mansion, Master Yan is not the only king of refining. There are also two or three kings of refining weapons, who are absentmindedly refining mysterious weapons.
Ye Fan paced to himself, came to the vicinity of one of the young refining kings, and watched the refining king's refining weapons.
This young man's face was a little ugly, with thick eyebrows and bronze eyes, five big and three thick, and he didn't seem to have a very good temper, and he was casually wielding a Xuantie heavy hammer, and he was refining a fourth-order fire-based Xuandao for a while.
Yan Shien didn't stop Ye Fan, but was secretly proud in his heart, "Hurry up and find fault, this Xing Chou junior disciple has a hot temperament, and he can't see what others say about him." It's good that you offended the entire Cao Mansion!"
The young refiner king didn't concentrate on refining the weapon, so he was naturally distracted, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, and said in a dissatisfied deep voice towards Yan Shien: "In the past few days, the Cao Mansion has closed its doors and has not accepted outsiders and has not done business, Senior Brother Yan, why did you let outsiders in?
During this period of time, Cao Fu has long had no intention of taking over the refining business, and his current work is still the order he received before, and he has not finished refining, so he needs to continue to complete it in a hurry.
Yan Shien can pretend in front of outsiders and low-level refiners, but he doesn't dare to pretend in front of other refining kings in Cao Mansion, his reputation has already plummeted, and he has no status in front of the high-level leaders of Cao Mansion.
However, in the face of Xing Chou's questioning, he already had a way to deal with it, and hurriedly smiled, "Senior Brother Xing Chou." This is a genius refining master who has been seen for hundreds of years from nowhere, and when he heard about the reputation of our Cao Mansion, he specially came from afar to visit, wanting to exchange ideas. I couldn't resist him, so I had to let him in and take a look. Don't blame me, I'll let him go immediately. ”
Ye Fan is extremely accomplished in refining.
Yan Shien's words are not all false.
"Heh, a genius refining master who has been seen once in hundreds of years, there is a fart!
Xing Chou laughed at himself, shook his head boredly, had no interest in Ye Fan and the others, and continued to refine his Xuan Bing.
The Zixuan Imperial City gathers the essence of the human race in the entire Shenwu Continent, and there are many outstanding people here everywhere. He Xing Chou and Yan Shien are not geniuses. But what's the use of that, dare to be called a genius in the eight hundred vassal states, and when you reach the imperial dynasty, you are a mediocre person.
In the refining world, in the end, it is still necessary to rely on strength to speak, and becoming the emperor of refining is the real strength, and everyone envies and admires it. Others, what a once-in-a-century genius, it's all bullshit.
"Have you seen enough, let's go!"
Yan Shien pretended to make a gesture of invitation and persuaded Ye Fan to leave.
But in fact, he wished that Ye Fan would continue to stay here and provoke this Xing Chou, and it was best to offend the entire Cao Mansion. borrowed the hand of Cao Fu to clean up Ye Fan fiercely, in order to vent the hatred in his heart.
If Ye Fan really left without doing anything, he would be disappointed.
Ye Fan watched Xing Chou beating and refining the Xuan soldiers for a while, his expression gradually became solemn, and finally shook his head and sighed, and muttered imperceptibly, "Alas~! ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Yan Shien heard Ye Fan's muttering, and his heart was in ecstasy, and he almost jumped up in ecstasy.
It's coming! Sure enough, this kid is clearly coming to the door to stir up trouble!!Unfortunately, this is the Cao Mansion, the residence of the Emperor of Refining. Dare to come here to stir up trouble, what is the difference between this and looking for death.
If you really provoke the ancestor of the Cao family, Old Man Cao, it will be enough for your kid to die ten times.
"Stop!"
Xing Chou is not deaf, of course he can hear it. His face changed, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he slammed the heavy Xuaniron hammer in his hand on the stone table, and said angrily with a dark face, "You kid is here to stir up trouble in Cao Mansion?"
Ye Fan turned around and said lightly: "The way of refining weapons, there is no distraction in the whole mind, and the Heaven and Earth Collapse Refiner is still focused on the weapon in his hand. You're not refining, you're in a hurry, what's the difference between you and a mere blacksmith outside?!"
Xing Chou was shocked and angry, and retorted sharply: "I, Xing Chou, am the king of refining weapons in Cao Mansion, how can I...!"
Ye Fan said disdainfully: "Yan Shien is such a half-hearted refiner, refining a defective product and selling it to Princess Ji Rouyu." I saw through it and was destroyed. The fire sword in your hand has as many as three flaws inside, more than Yan Shien's. Are you going to embark on your senior brother's old path and become a tribulation brother with him? Before it is completely baked, hurry up and remedy it! Otherwise, it will be seen by other refiners, and it will also be a blow to your reputation. ”
“...!”
Xing Chou's heart was shocked, he looked at Ye Fan in disbelief, and then looked down at the fire-type Xuan soldiers who were refining under his hands.
His senior brother Yan Shien was a young martial king and top refining king half a year ago, who saw through the flaws of Xuan Bing, and the most unlucky thing was that he was about to sell it to Princess Ji Rouyu. As a result, the matter was big, and it was swept out of the Imperial Xuanbing Pavilion, thus being destroyed, and this matter was well known in the imperial city.
Unexpectedly, it was the young man in front of him.
I didn't expect it to be as sharp as the legend.
"There is no basis for empty words, why do you say that I practiced..."
Xing Chou's face changed, and he retorted forcefully.
He didn't finish speaking.
Ye Fan waved his hand and covered the fire system.
Xing Chou didn't have time to stop it.
"Poof!"
I saw that the frost was instantly hung on the fire system, and Ye Fan was frozen on the surface, and there were three more thin hairsprings on the knife body, less than an inch long, and the weakness of his eyesight was almost impossible to see.
In the blink of an eye, the flames of the Xuandao gained the upper hand again, engulfing the frost, and the three thin marks disappeared immediately.
But for the King of Refining, it was enough to see a serious problem.
Xing Chou was dumbfounded, his face was blushing, and he was extremely embarrassed.
