Chapter 237: Saltpeter

"Zhou Shijie!"

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, it caused a burst of exclamations from the onlookers. The three words Zhou Shijie were indeed famous in the imperial city more than ten years ago, and he had been the title of the first genius of the Zhou family of the instrument clan for many years, and he was the youngest among the older generation of the instrument clan, but the most talented descendant.

"He is Zhou Shijie, the most talented Zhou Xiaojiu of the Zhou family back then?" The mysterious man with the sword at his waist fixed his gaze on Zhou Shijie's face, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

The bloated Xuanshi beside him shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I heard that this kid disappeared after he was twenty years old, went to the mainland to travel, and then was never heard from, why did he suddenly come back this time?"

The Xuanji with the sword at his waist nodded and said, "Do you remember that this Zhou Shijie had some holidays with Lin Qing, the owner of the Lin family's iron shop!"

"Of course I remember!" The bloated Xuanist whispered: "It was rumored that this Zhou Shijie and Lin Qing both fell in love with a woman, Lin Qing was ten years older than Zhou Shijie at that time, and his cultivation was much higher than Zhou Shijie back then. It's a pity that these two geniuses failed to impress the woman's heart, and the two made a vow in vain to go to the mainland for ten years of training, and now the woman has married a wife, but these two are still alone!"

The middle-aged man with the sword nodded slowly, lowered his voice, and said, "Do you know who that woman is?"

The bloated mystery was obviously stunned, his eyes were slightly confused, and he shook his head.

The middle-aged man with the sword smiled mysteriously and said, "That woman is the only concubine Yin Guifei in the harem who gave birth to a prince!"

"Ahh

The bloated mystic man steadied himself, pressed against the man's ear, and whispered, "Is this true?"

The man with the sword looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he nodded and said, "I also heard that when the emperor married Yin Guifei into the palace, Yin Guifei was no longer a virgin!

"Ahh......h

However, before the bloated Xuan's words were finished, he was covered by the middle-aged man with a sword full of horror, and he lowered his voice and said: "If you don't want to live, I still want to live! How can you and I dare to comment on the bloodline of the prince! Now Prince Yun is commanding and training troops at the Huyue Border Pass, and he will be back in a few months! I heard that Prince Yun is also a highly talented instrumentaturist, and the army is accompanied by Lord Lan Wei, the chief instrumentain, and I believe that Prince Yun's alchemy skills are also advancing by leaps and bounds! This year's Young Instrument Contest of the Guyin Dynasty, Prince Yun will definitely shine!"

The bloated mystic man broke the big hand of the middle-aged man with the sword, and finally could take a few breaths, and said angrily: "Is it because I have a copper plate relationship with you again? You want to suffocate me!"

While the two of them were chatting about the past at the edge of the crowd, Dan Xuan stared at Zhou Shijie for a while, and the reaction of the onlookers had already told him that this Zhou Shijie was by no means a good type.

"People from the Zhou family, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I don't have a good impression of anyone surnamed Zhou!" Dan Xuan smiled humbly.

Zhou Shijie didn't react when he heard this, but Zhou Feifei snorted when he heard it, and said coldly: "I am even more disgusted with the surname Dan!"

Dan Xuan frowned and glanced at Zhou Feifei, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart to do it, he knew that today the enemy was outnumbered, and it was not a problem to fight a few small minions, but once he injured his muscles and bones, he was definitely not the opponent of these surnamed Zhou!

Dan Xuan didn't pay attention to Zhou Feifei, but turned his eyes to the burly man and the middle-aged businessman who had his arms broken by himself, and said indifferently: "Say, what is the matter with the two of you here, I will give you a chance to speak!"

The burly man was already frightened by Dan Xuan, and he just grinned and endured the pain of breaking his bones, while the middle-aged merchant stood up with his cheeks covered, took out a Xuanjian from the scabbard behind him, threw it on the ground, and said, "The second-order Xuanjian I bought here the day before yesterday is a fake!

Dan Xuan picked up the Xuanjian, the white Xuanqi was running, and the majestic Xuanqi was injected into the Xuanjian, and the Xuanjian made a buzzing sound, but in a moment, a clear "click" sound came from the sword's body, and several clear cracks slowly spread on the sword body.

The middle-aged businessman and the burly man glanced at each other, and there was a hint of horror in their eyes, looking at Dan Xuan's immature face, the two of them really realized what it meant to be a shocking talent! You must know that the burly man is also a one-star spiritual guard, but this Xuan Jian has been injected into his hand, but it is only a buzz, but there is no sign of breaking.

However, when the sword reached Dan Xuan's hand, there were cracks, which showed that Dan Xuan's Xuan Qi was much stronger than that of a burly man.

Dan Xuan has also recently felt that he has reached the peak of a one-star spiritual guard, and I am afraid that he will make a breakthrough soon, but he just doesn't know when and where.

The body of the Xuanjian sword is broken, there is no doubt that it is indeed a fake, even if it is not a fake, it should be regarded as a defective product!

"Senior brother, what's going on?" Dan Xuan's eyes sank slightly, looking at Yuan Yupeng and asked.

"This ......" Yuan Yupeng also frowned, shook his head after thinking for a while, and said: "I remembered these two people, they did come to buy the Xuan Weapon the day before yesterday, but the Xuan Immortal I sold to them at that time was refined by the second junior brother, it stands to reason that there will be no problem, I also personally tested it at that time, it can't be a shoddy product!"

Dan Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't believe what Yuan Yupeng said, his senior brother was definitely one and the same, very honest and responsible, a typical good man. But why did this obviously good mysterious weapon get into the hands of these two people and save it as a defective product, someone must have done something to do it, so what is the reason?

Dan Xuan carefully observed the Xuanjian in his hand again, the style of the Xuanjian was indeed the style that his second senior brother Lin Xiangtian was used to creating, and the looming seal inscription on the sword body was also very similar to Lin Xiangtian's pen-writing style, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a forgery.

Dan Xuan slowly shook the Xuanjian in his hand, originally unconscious, but at this moment, a lumpy crystal fell out of the gap in the Xuanjian.

Dan Xuan frowned and picked up the crystal, the crystal was orange and had a faint smell of smoke and dust.

"This is ......" After a while, Dan Xuan's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly brightened, he finally figured out the process.

The corners of Dan Xuan's lips hooked up a sneering arc, and he turned to the waiter known as Xiaorui and said: "Xiaorui, when the guests order weapons, some of them will specially ask to add some special raw materials, you should have a record, you go and check if these two guests have a blank called "nitrate" among the special materials they asked to add.

As soon as they heard Dan Xuan say the word "saltpeter", the two brothers of the Zhou family were shocked, and both of them felt a little incredible in their hearts, they didn't expect that a rookie like Dan Xuan, who was refining skills, would be able to know saltpeter, an auxiliary blank that even some fourth- and fifth-level masters couldn't touch.

Zhou Feifei also frowned, and muttered: "Saltpeter, it seems to be a raw material used to reduce the fusion time of embryo liquid for refining some mystical artifacts above the fourth order, it shouldn't be used for refining second-order mystical artifacts!"

Zhou Feifei was also a little unsure, after all, she was only a third-level instrumentalist, and her understanding of saltpeter was completely accidental to hear her father mention it.

"Not bad!"

Dan Xuan glanced at Zhou Feifei with a rare face, and said slowly: "Saltpeter is an auxiliary raw material for refining, and one of its functions is that the fourth-order or higher mystic tools are used to shorten the embryo fusion time. However, if saltpeter is used to refine second- and third-order mystical weapons, then the result will inevitably be to make it a waste product, although the Xuanjian may not have any reaction when it is just refined, it looks normal, and even has to be improved in power, but in the past three or two days, the saltpeter dissolved in the sword body will gradually form crystals, destroying the internal structure of the mystical weapon, and the final result is that the mysterious weapon is wasted!"

Dan Xuan talked eloquently, and everyone in the audience understood it, but I don't know if these two people really asked to add saltpeter when refining the Xuanjian, everything had to wait for the results from Xiaorui's side to come out.

Zhou Feifei's beautiful eyes swept over Dan Xuan, stared at him for a moment, saw that his face was calm, his eyes were full of confidence, and then he looked at the middle-aged businessman and the burly man, the two were obviously nervous, Zhou Feifei already had the answer in his heart, it seemed that he was really said by this kid!

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Rui was so excited that she shouted with the ledger: "Young Master Dan, Young Master Dan, come and see, there is really a saltpeter recorded on it, you are really right!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar!

A word to readers:

There are really very important things that can't be separated from these days, otherwise the bronze will definitely insist on more than 5500 words a day, and then the bronze will be completely idle in a few days, and then I will update more to repay the support of friends, ask for a reward, ask for a monthly pass!
