Chapter 1 Qihai Town
Qihai Town is a sea-facing Xiuzhen town in the eastern part of the land of Baizhou, due to the large amount of materials used to refine low-level magic weapons, occasionally you can pick up some high-level materials that are washed up by the sea on the shore.
As a result, there are some casual cultivators and smaller cultivator families who gather here to collect materials for a living. Over time, as more and more cultivators gathered, some chambers of commerce directly built a bazaar refining room here in order to reduce costs, which was used to directly purchase and process these materials, and slowly formed the scale of Qihai Town.
The noon sun shone on the courtyard of an ordinary monk, and the young man from a refining workshop rushed all the way here, knocking on the door of the courtyard.
"Yaofeng, Yang Yaofeng! Open the curfew soon, I have something important to ask for with my housekeeper!" At this time, the little maid named Zhang Yan was pacing back and forth outside Yang Yaofeng's courtyard, knocking on the door several times, but no one answered the door.
The person who called the door was named Zhang Zhangyan, a guy in a refining workshop in Qihai Town, he and Yang Yaofeng had known each other since childhood, and now he was in charge of the material warehouse of the refining workshop.
But as long as the owner of his own house finds out, he and the warehouse steward will definitely not be able to escape the relationship, at least he will lose his salary, and at worst, the housekeeper and himself will be driven out of the Chamber of Commerce by the master, and from then on there will be no more to do with the way of cultivating the truth.
At this time, Yang Yaofeng was holding saliva, falling asleep under a pile of books, as the saying goes: There is Yan Ruyu in the dream, and there is a golden house in the dream, at this time Yang Yaofeng is sitting on thousands of spirit stones in his dream, holding the best materials in his hand, infinitely reverie about his happy life, and when he was about to carefully count the spirit stones around him, he was awakened by Zhang Yan's impatient shout.
I saw Yang Yaofeng struggling out of a pile of broken books, revealing a face full of tiredness, a nose bridge that is not tall or short, a slightly thin face, and a pair of dark eyes, which slowly changed from listlessness to a pair of smart eyes.
If you take a closer look at the scattered books, you will find that those books are all "The General System of the First-level Formation", "Overview of the Defense of the Earth Attribute Formation", "The Difference between the Two Elements of Water and Fire and the Difference between the Formation Levels", "Zhou Hai Properties", "Outline of Primary Refining Materials" and other primary books of formation refining, these books are so cheap that they do not need to be loaded with jade slips, as long as the secular books are carried.
But just by the number of these books and the extent to which they are all-inclusive, even those second-grade refiners in the refining room will also sigh that they are not as good as they are not as good as they are.
Yang Yaofeng got up and sighed, and with a wave of his hand, he went to the prohibition outside the small courtyard, and Zhang Yan rushed in and cried at Yang Yaofeng.
Yang Yaofeng was originally an orphan, an abandoned baby found by Old Man Mu in his eighties, when the sea was stormy and rough, Old Man Mu also ventured in to see if he could find some refining materials blown up from the sea during this period. As long as the wind and waves stopped, the rest of the treasure hunters would flock to it, and then their own mid-level Qi Refining would not be able to find anything.
But today's luck is surprisingly good, the old man Mu collected a lot of bottom leach, coral wood, and also found more than two taels of corrugated steel, a second-grade material, and the old man Mu was very happy.
But suddenly, he found that not far from the sea, set off a layer of huge waves whistling past, hit a cliff not far away, after the waves, only to see the golden light on the cliff, the old man thought that it was a treasure born, and he didn't care about any wind and waves, so he hurriedly went over to check, and when he arrived at the cliff, he found that it was not a treasure, just a baby in swaddling clothes, and there was nothing else on the baby, only a white jade plate engraved with a Yang character.
The old man Mu is already in his early eighties and has no children under his knees, and he has been in a state of confusion for more than 80 years before he reaches the middle stage of qi refining, and there is no hope of building a foundation in this life.
Later, when Old Man Mu saw this son appear, the golden light appeared at a glance from the dangerous peak, so he took the name Yang Yaofeng, so Old Man Mu used himself for many years and months to teach Yang Yaofeng.
On weekdays, the old man Mu relied on the refining workshops of some chambers of commerce in Qihai Town, processing some magic weapons, and earning spirit stones to live, thinking that he couldn't let this skill be broken in his own hands, so he handed over all his skills to Yang Yuefeng, and was also cheeky, relying on his connections in Qihai Town for decades, Yang Yaofeng was sent to the hands of various refining workshop masters to teach.
This son really lived up to the wishes of the old man, after the old man Mu went bankrupt and bought a third-order exercise "Runsheng Decision", this son reached the middle level of qi training at the age of ten, and it is indeed a rare talent in the wilderness of Qihai Town, many stewards of the refining room are thinking about asking Yang Yaofeng to join the Chamber of Commerce, serving as an apprentice refiner to teach the alchemy of the Chamber of Commerce, and with a little time, Yang Yaofeng can also earn several spirit stones a day, and since then he has raised his eyebrows, but these have been rejected by the old man Mu.
Old man Mu and Yang Yaofeng live together, although they are a little poor, but Old Man Mu stubbornly believes that he has been in Qihai Town for decades, processing a daily magic weapon every day, and so far he can't even practice a second-grade magic weapon, thinking that his grandson can't repeat his mistakes, in addition to teaching Yaofeng what he has learned, he also bought a large number of formation books to teach Yaofeng.
Because Old Man Mu refused to let Yaofeng join the Chamber of Commerce Refining Room, Yang Yaofeng's apprenticeship in the Refining Room could only observe and not practice, but fortunately, Yang Yaofeng was talented and intelligent, and at the age of twelve, he learned almost all the low-level formations, so he stopped being an apprentice, and took orders with Old Man Mu at home, and processed magic weapons below the third grade together.
So Yang Yaofeng learned the formation burning technique at a very young age, although it was only a beginner formation, but it was much more proficient than ordinary refiners, and the failure rate was very little or almost zero, so it was welcomed by many small refining workshops that lacked manpower.
With the accumulation of experience, the low-level formation burning is even more perfect, as long as it is a magic weapon processed and refined by Yang Yaofeng, the failure rate is often extremely low, and the finished product is more durable, and he has also earned a lot of spirit stones these days.
One morning, the old man grabbed Yang Yaofeng's hand and explained to him in a serious tone, "In the future, you must join the gate to send people to get ahead, don't be a lonely cultivator like yourself, and you will not have a chance to achieve the avenue in your life," After gently stroking his grandson's head, Yang Shou died of exhaustion.
Yang Yaofeng knew that he would never have the opportunity to repay filial piety to Old Man Mu in this life, so he cremated Old Man Mu and buried him at sea after kowtowing three times.
He understands that birth, old age, sickness and death are really the way of heaven, but Old Man Mu is a cultivator, although he stays in the period of qi cultivation all his life, how can he be like an ordinary man and a layman to enter the earth for peace, return to heaven and earth and continue to comprehend heaven and earth, which is where the desire of a cultivator lies.
But whenever I think that Old Man Mu has regarded himself as his own for more than ten years, and his own grandson is no different, I sigh in my heart, shed tears, and firmly determined to get ahead in this life and repay Old Man Mu for his nurturing grace.
Therefore, Yang Yaofeng is even more angry, in addition to processing materials every day, he also uses all the income he earns to learn everything related to the formation, whether it is refining, prohibition, formation or spirit rune carving, hoping that one day he can join the Immortal Cultivation Sect and thus win the avenue.
So now in the area of Qihai Town, as far as the low-level formations are concerned, except for a few of the most famous masters in the town, no one can stand out from it, whether it is the burning of magic weapon formations, or the depiction of spirit rune formations, and then to the prohibition and establishment of mansions.
Of course, these can only be magic formations below the third grade, if it is not limited by cultivation, according to Yang Yaofeng's current understanding of the formation, it is not difficult to carve the four-grade formation.
Qi Hai Town generally processes some basic magic weapons, which basically play an auxiliary role, such as Yang Yuan Pei to accelerate physical strength and mana recovery, the spirit sealing box used to seal the spiritual energy of the elixir, or the one-time spirit runes used to consume, all of which are low-level magic weapons consumed by cultivators on a daily basis, plus the products near Qi Hai Array are relatively rich, so this town will not be lonely.
However, it is indeed more difficult to find a slightly high-level refining technique, or a method to improve cultivation, in order to find one or two low-level formations and refining methods on weekdays, Yang Yaofeng can only make friends with those refining workshop managers, and after processing countless low-level magic weapons and spirit runes, he can only borrow a few copies.
And Zhang Yan provided a guarantee for this process, and today Zhang Yan came to cry, so Yang Yaofeng couldn't shirk his request.
After listening to Zhang Yan's cry, Yang Yaofeng and Zhang Yan hurriedly ran to the warehouse of the refining workshop.
At this time, after the steward of the refining workshop saw Zhang Yan calling Yang Yaofeng, he stepped forward and said, "Little master, you must save me, the master of the refining workshop will return in the afternoon, if you find that the warehouse ban has been broken, I will wait for the future." ”
Yang Yaofeng didn't say much, and quickly stepped forward to check the warehouse prohibition, only to see that although the formation ban outside the warehouse door was broken, the saboteur's method was quite ingenious, and ordinary cultivators wanted to break the prohibition, either they directly cast a spell to break the forbidden aura with brute force, or they interpreted the content of the prohibition and then used their divine sense to disrupt the order of the formation, so that the formation prohibition could not be related and thus lost its effect.
The former requires a strong cultivation, consumes a lot of mana, and may alarm the guards of the refining room during the implementation process, while the latter will alarm the owner who holds the jade key.
At the same time, even if the forbidden formation is set up, in the absence of a jade key, it will not be able to open the prohibition without breaking the prohibition, just like the relationship between the door lock and the key in the mortal world, but once the prohibition is broken, the jade key will be sensitive.
But now it seems that the jade key in charge did not call the police, and the prohibition of the warehouse was only broken a small piece, and the rest of the prohibition is still intact, and it is still connected, but one of them has lost contact and function with the rest of the formation, it can be seen that the person who broke the prohibition has a very deep understanding of the formation, not only a monk who has cultivated above in the foundation building period, but also a cultivator who is a master in the formation.
Yang Yaofeng pondered for a while, fortunately, the person who broke the formation had a superb technique, and the level of the formation was not high, it was just a kind of three-grade early warning forbidden formation, and this prohibition was not incurable. But it can't be cheaper.
You must know that you need to hire a professional array master to rearrange this array, and the labor is not counted, and the materials alone will cost nearly a thousand first-class spirit stones, and this kind of cost is not something that only a few dozen spirit stones per month can afford.
Yang Yaofeng has processed countless processes for this refining workshop, but in the end, this steward often deducts wages, but this refining room has a lot of books and can only not care, plus Zhang Yan's little guy has always taken care of himself and Old Man Mu, and he can't sit idly by, but today there is this opportunity Yang Yaofeng is ready to let this stingy steward give some blood.
