Chapter 4 Pass the exam
Fang Yan bowed: "Back to the Great Elder's words, this Xuanjia Turtle was indeed killed by a disciple. ”
After receiving Fang Yan's reply, the Great Elder's brows furrowed even deeper, the Xuanjia Turtle is known for its rough skin and thick flesh, and its defensive power is amazing, especially with the protection of the turtle shell, it is not afraid of swords and guns, and it is not invaded by water and fire, even some experienced hunters will not attack it easily; Fang Yan is just an ordinary teenager in the family, and he is only the strength of a first-level martial artist, how can he be able to hunt the Xuanjia Turtle? But how can the turtle shell stained with blood in front of him be explained?
"How did you kill it?" the Grand Elder asked again.
Fang Yan replied without hesitation: "The disciple made three Zhenyuan beads and blew them up. ”
If Fang Yan said that while the turtle was asleep, he secretly cut off its head with a knife, that would be reasonable, but Fang Yan actually said that he would use the Zhenyuan Bead to blow it up, which made everyone's reaction even more violent, and the eyes looking at Fang Yan couldn't help but change again and again.
"Can you make the Zhenyuan Bead?" the Great Elder was a little incredulous.
Fang Yan nodded: "It can be made, but the method of casting Zhenyuan Beads by the disciple is completely explored by himself, and his skills are not perfect, and only two of the three Zhenyuan Beads can be used." ”
This sentence made everyone in an uproar, and even Fang Chongchang, who had been fighting each other, looked at Fang Yan with a solemn look; you must know that the profession of refiner is extremely particular about skill and experience, although Zhenyuan Zhu is not a high-level magic weapon, but only an orthodox refiner can create it, Fang Yan is not a refiner at all now, not only found out the casting method, but also made three can use two, this kind of talent has to be admired.
The wise Second Elder, with two fingers and a sword, stroked his white hair lightly, looked at Fang Yan quietly with his eyes, and said after a while: "In this way, you are also a bamboo in your chest to build the Xuanjia Shield?"
Fang Yan had already calculated the best plan in his brain, so naturally it was not a problem, but because he was worried that Fang Chong would get in the way, he pretended to be weak-hearted: "The disciple has never built a Xuanjia shield, so he can only try his luck." ”
"Luck?" the second elder raised his eyebrows, what he hated most in his life was that the refiner said the word 'luck'.
On the contrary, Fang Chongbian smiled when he heard these two words, and said again and again: "Three elders, it's not too early, why don't you let Fang Yan start casting immediately?"
Since there was an appointment in advance, naturally the agreement could not be broken, the three elders didn't say anything, and Fang Chongbian put on the appearance of an elder, looking at Fang Yan with his eyes above the top: "Let's do it, let's see how lucky you are." ”
Fang Yan stopped talking nonsense, according to the best plan for the calculation of the wisdom brain, he first put the turtle shell into the refining furnace and baked it, and while waiting, he heard Fang Chongbian and the three elders talking in a whisper behind him.
Fang Chong's tone was relaxed and comfortable: "The first step in casting the Xuanjia Shield is to grind the Xuanjia tortoise shell into powder, and this first step alone will not be completed by Fang Yan. ”
The Third Elder sighed lightly: "Yes, if you want to grind the turtle shell, you must first hit it with a casting hammer, and then grind it with a wheel groove instrument, and only those who have received orthodox teaching and have a certain amount of cultivation can have enough strength to break it." ”
As he spoke, Fang Yan had already taken out the turtle shell that had been baked until it was red from the refining furnace, put it directly on the ground, took out a blue medicine bottle from the medicine cabinet not far away, and evenly sprinkled the cold powder inside on the turtle shell;
A moment later, a crisp 'gaba' sound sounded, and a clear crack appeared on the turtle shell, Fang Yan didn't need to use a hammer at all, he picked it up and threw it on the ground, and the turtle shell shattered.
"This ......"
The three elders, along with Fang Chongchang, were all shocked by the scene in front of them;
The second elder's eyes narrowed slightly, and two rays of fine light shot at Fang Yan: "First heat the turtle shell, and then use ice chips to cool it rapidly, one hot, one cold, one expansion and one contraction, you can directly destroy the structure and organization in the Xuanjia turtle shell;
The Great Elder stroked his beard and chuckled: "Hehe, Fang Yan's method is simple and efficient, and it can directly replace the primary teaching method of the Refining Academy." ”
Fang Chongchang's face changed slightly, but he pretended to be calm: "The subtlety of casting the Xuanjia Shield lies in the additives and fire mastery in the later stage, I hope Fang Yan's luck has always been so good!"
Under the watchful eyes of the four of them, Fang Yan collected the tortoise shell fragments, put them in a dissolving barrel for later use, and then used the refining furnace to melt some molten iron and mix them with the tortoise shell fragments. The mixed liquid is poured into the mold and re-fired in the refining furnace.
The Great Elder looked at Fang Yan's skillful movements, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "This is not at all like the first time to cast the Xuanjia Shield, the proficiency of its techniques and skills is almost like it has been tempered for thousands of years, I'm afraid even some gentlemen in the refining academy can't compare with it;
The others, like the Great Elder, were stunned by Fang Yan's flowing movements, but soon, everyone's eyes turned from surprise to confusion, just because Fang Yan had added an additive called 'Void Water' when he was roasting.
Fang Chong's nervous expression disappeared in an instant, and his face turned a little flushed from excitement: "Casting the Xuanjia Shield doesn't have the additive of Void Water, hehehe, Fang Yan's luck is afraid that this is the end." ”
Although Fang Chongchang's voice was not loud, it spread throughout the entire examination room, and everyone heard it clearly, if it was someone else, he would definitely stop immediately, but Fang Yan was indifferent, and continued to sprinkle virtual water into the refining furnace in an orderly manner. About half an hour later, Fang Yan took the mold out of the refining furnace, shaped it with an iron hammer, and then passed it through cold water, and the Xuanjia shield was completed.
Fang Yan exhaled, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and put the Xuanjia shield in front of the three elders: "Please ask the three elders to test the results." ”
The three elders didn't look at the Xuanjia Shield carefully at all, because Fang Yan added the wrong additives, which was already equivalent to failure;
Fang Chongbian sneered in his heart, but pretended to be a pity on his face: "You are a leader in both the craftsmanship and the mastery of the heat, but unfortunately, you are not satisfactory in terms of additives, sorry, you failed." ”
Hearing this, Fang Yan asked rhetorically, "I don't know what the disciple is wrong?"
A smile appeared on Fang Chongbian's face: "Since there was the Xuanjia Shield, there has been no such thing as a flavor additive of Void Water at all, and you not only put it, but also put a lot of it." ”
I thought that Fang Yan would be annoyed when he pointed out Fang Yan's mistakes, but a confident smile appeared on Fang Yan's face, and he looked at the Great Elder: "Dare to ask the Great Elder, how strong can the Xuanjia Shield usually withstand?"
The Great Elder didn't hesitate: "A first-level martial artist can smash it with one punch." ”
Fang Yan asked again, "Then I don't know what the strength of the Great Elder is?"
"No, sixth-level martial artist. ”
The corners of Fang Yan's mouth rose slightly: "Then ask the Great Elder to smash this failed product." ”
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Yan's gourd, the Great Elder didn't hesitate, he clenched his fist casually, and punched it on the Xuanjia Shield, but as a result, his fist touched the Xuanjia Shield, making a muffled sound, and the Xuanjia Shield was intact.
Everyone present was stunned, and Fang Chongbian was a little anxious: "Great Elder, aren't you acting?"
"Acting, you widen your eyes and see if the old man is acting!" The Great Elder Qi Luck Dantian, all his true qi into his fist, let out a low shout, and smashed it towards the Xuanjia Shield.
There was a muffled "bang......", and the Xuanjia shield was still intact.
"This ......" Fang Chongbian looked at the Xuanjia Shield in disbelief.
The third elder looked at the Xuanjia Shield with burning eyes, and then looked at Fang Yan: "What's the matter?"
Fang Yan stretched out his hand and touched the Xuanjia Shield, and said with a smile: "Since the Xuanjia Shield is a defensive magic weapon, its purpose is naturally to defend against attacks, but the ordinary Xuanjia Shield is too hard, which directly leads to being too brittle, and the fourth-level martial artist can easily break it; The softening function of the virtual water makes up for the lack of the Xuanjia shield. ”
Fang Yan's opinion, even the three well-informed elders couldn't help but be stunned, where is this an untrained ordinary person, clearly an orthodox refiner with rich experience and unique insights! They didn't know that Fang Yan's wisdom brain in the Spirit Sea had already studied the Xuanjia Shield thoroughly, both the advantages and disadvantages were clear, and at the same time they had formulated the most perfect building plan.
Of course, the Xuanjia shield made by Fang Yan was deduced through the intelligent brain operation, so as to make it, and the process itself has been changed, it could have created six or seven Xuanjia shields, but only one piece was built, and it was because of the changes in the proportion of materials and processing techniques, these people present can still see it.
"I don't know, the disciple can be regarded as having passed the exam?" Fang Yan saluted and asked respectfully.
The Great Elder waved his hand: "This is nature!"
And at this moment, Fang Chongbian suddenly squeezed between Fang Yan and the Great Elder, and made a hindrance: "It's passed, but the fire in Fang Yan's body is too low, even if you enter the Refining Academy, you have to enter the Ding Waiting Courtyard." ”
The Ding Yuan is the lowest branch of the Refining Academy, and the people who enter it are either sent in by a powerful family trust, or they are stubborn students who cannot be carved on rotten wood, and the teachers inside are also the second, and entering the Ding Courtyard is no different from not entering the Refining Academy.
However, Fang Yan didn't care, because his purpose was not the Refining Academy within the clan, he just wanted to use the Refining Academy as a springboard to achieve his future goals, and he immediately responded without thinking.
Since even Fang Yan agreed, the three elders had nothing to say, and the open-minded Great Elder took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Fang Yan: "I have divided these additives for refining weapons into categories, and it can be regarded as compensation for you to enter the Ding Courtyard." ”
