Chapter 1: Star Iron
"I succeeded, I succeeded......"
In the small room full of miscellaneous items, Yin Lan's childish face had a somewhat dull expression, but in his eyes, there was a light of joy and muttering to himself.
He raised his head, slowly glanced at the utility room of only seven or eight square meters, looked at the mottled and dirty marks on the wall, the memory in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the emotions in his chest became more and more excited, and finally he couldn't help but yell madly: "I did it!"
The emotions surging in his chest, with this roar, were completely cathartic and released, Yin Lan gasped and laughed happily.
And he did, with that supreme aura of creation, back to 48 million years ago, back to the time of his youth.
This year, he is only sixteen years old.
"Stinky boy, what's the name of the ghost!" The old wooden door of the small room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and a middle-aged strong man in a vest stood at the door, with strong muscles on his arms and shoulders, and his chin covered with stubble, and he glared and said: "Let you take a sand flake slowly, hurry up and polish that batch of nine-star iron, and I'll boil the medicine." ”
Yin Lan looked at this middle-aged strong man, his heart trembled suddenly, all kinds of pictures flashed in his mind, a warm current grew in his heart, his eyes were a little moist, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Father!"
This "father" was full of emotion, and it hit the heart directly, and the middle-aged strong man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Go to work in the forging room, after I finish boiling the medicine, you and I will send this batch of nine-star iron to the shopkeeper Fang." ”
Holding the sand chips from the utility room and walking to the forging room next door, Yin Lan's mood finally calmed down.
The forging room is the most valuable place in Yin Lan's house, where there are many refining materials, as well as some processing equipment for commonly used parts.
Yin Lan's father, named Yin Zhaoping, like most people in Sanshui Town, earned money to support his family by processing refining materials and some scattered utensils, and with his apprentice's fifth-level spiritual cultivation, coupled with more than 20 years of processing experience, he belonged to the higher-income class in Sanshui Town.
But in fact, Yin Lan's family is not wealthy, and his mother is a "living dead".
The so-called living dead refers to a patient who still breathes and has a heartbeat, but can never wake up and can only lie in bed for the rest of his life. Yin Lan's mother's condition was even more serious, with cold on her body, and she had to feed an expensive pair of cold dispersion every day.
This pair of cold dispersion costs 300 yuan from the pharmacy, and Yin Lan's father can barely make ends meet by working from morning to night every day.
"One person supports the whole family, and my father has worked too hard all these years. Looking at the various refining materials piled up all over the ground in the forging room, Yin Lan's nose was a little sour. I don't know why, going back to his teenage years 48 million years ago, his emotions seem to have become richer.
On the three-meter-long, one-meter-high swarthy forging table, Don found a pile of materials that his father had ordered him to polish, Nine-Star Iron.
The whole body of this nine-star iron has a cyan metallic luster, each piece is the size of a palm, it is cut into a cube, and it is neatly stacked on the forging table, there are a total of sixteen pieces, which were processed by his father Yin Zhaoping for two whole days.
Nine-star iron is a slightly precious kind of low-grade material, and it consumes a lot of spiritual power and consumes a lot of spirit to process, but the benefits are extremely high.
One day of processing Jiuxing iron is worth the benefits of processing other materials for several days. However, Yin Zhaoping could only process two days of nine-star iron in a month's time, and if he had more, it would cause his mind to be exhausted, and the spiritual power in his dantian would not be able to bear it.
Yin Lan stretched out his palm, grabbed a piece of nine-star iron that was a little heavy and played with it, and said to himself: "I remember that in this era, the top refiners have been able to refine the star iron to the twelve stars, but our Qinglan country is a small country on the entire continent, and the refining level is not developed enough, at most it can only refine the star iron to nine stars, from this point of view, it is appropriate to call it nine star iron." ”
Yin Lan has memories of the future, and he has a very clear impression of the information of the entire continent.
Xingchen Iron is the common name of the mainland, but in the Qinglan Country to which Yin Lan belongs, only a few people know it, and most of the others call it Nine Star Iron. Because the Zhenguo Weapon King of Qinglan Country can refine Xingchen Iron to nine stars at most, it has this more popular name.
Yin Lan observed the shimmering cyan metallic luster of the star's iron block, its surface had three pale white circular marks, like "stars".
"It's a pity, my father only has the fifth-level spiritual power cultivation of the apprentice, and the star iron he processed is only refined to three stars, which is a low-grade and worthless value. ”
Thinking of this, Yin Lan's heart moved: "I'll refine these nine-star irons again." ”
Yin Lan quietly closed the iron door, then rummaged through the forging room, and after a few minutes, found the cleansing agent, nitrate, and gangue, which were commonly used in processing refining materials.
"With the spiritual power of my current apprentice level 3, if I want to raise the three-star Star Iron to another level, I can only use the nitrate mixture. Yin Lan sighed slightly, and then began to mix the cleansing agent, nitrate and gangue according to a certain proportion and steps.
After a while, in a porcelain bowl, a prepared nitrate gangue was formed, which looked cloudy and viscous, and was very inconspicuous.
But Yin Lan remembered very well that it was this inconspicuous nitrate mixture that was accidentally blended by a refiner forty years later, causing a violent sensation, which made the processing level of refining materials in the entire Shanlan Continent a whole level up!
Yin Lan picked up a piece of Xingchen Iron, threw it into the porcelain bowl, soaked it with the viscous nitrate mixture, and then urged the third-level spiritual power of the apprentice in his body, infused it into Xingchen Iron, and followed the internal structure of Xingchen Iron and the distribution of impurities, constructed a spiritual power circuit, and began to refine the entire Xingchen Iron.
A few minutes later, Xingchen Iron, which originally had only three "stars", turned out to have one more "star"!
"Refining to four stars is enough, I am only apprentice to the third level of spiritual power, no matter how much I control and save, it is difficult to refine it to five stars, after all, every time I refine one more star, the spiritual power consumed will be more than ten times more. ”
An hour later, sixteen pieces of three-star star iron were all refined to four stars by Yin Lan.
Of course, the spiritual power in Yin Lan's dantian had also been completely depleted, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
This is because Yin Lan has 48 million years of experience and knowledge, as well as strong perseverance and tenacious will, to complete the incredible refining process through the spiritual power of the third level of apprenticeship.
For other people, let alone the third level of apprenticeship, even if it is the ninth level of apprenticeship, I am afraid that it will take a day to process a piece of four-star star iron. This involves a series of contents such as material analysis, density changes, and impurity grooming, and it also requires skilled construction of spiritual power circuits, which cannot be completed without sufficient experience and theoretical foundation.
It sounds like there is not much difference between three-star and four-star, but in fact, the value and market price of the refining weapons of the two are ten times different!
Xingchen iron one star to three stars, belongs to the lower grade, four stars to six stars, belongs to the middle grade.
The difference between one star determines the quality of the material, and it is a large-span leap from the lower grade to the middle grade.
In the consignee, the inferior Xingchen iron is sold by catties, which is the same as the nature of collecting scrap iron.
And the medium-grade Xingchen iron is sold on pieces!
"Stinky boy, have you finished feeding your mother the medicine? ”
Father Yin Zhaoping's somewhat rough voice came from outside the room.
When Yin Lan heard this, he quickly raised his head and looked at the table clock in the left corner, which showed that it was May 29, nine o'clock in the morning.
Thinking of what would happen on this day, Yin Lan's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly found a sturdy black leather bag, threw all the Xingchen Iron that he had refined again, and said secretly in his heart: "That's it, it's too late to polish, you have to go out quickly!"
After 48 million years of ups and downs, ups and downs, Yin Lan has always clearly remembered that on this day, the most painful thing happened to him-
My father was beaten to death, he had his leg broken, the family had no money to buy medicine, and my mother suffered a cold attack a week later, and finally froze into ice and died silently.
Also, the kind girl who will always be sealed in the depths of her memory was also forced to swallow the strong sweet oil, and then died of poison, withering and withering in the most beautiful years......
Going back in time, he doesn't want to regret it, let alone go through a painful and distorted period again.
This is one of the reasons why he came back from 48 million years later.
Fangjia Material Pavilion, specializing in the acquisition of some processed refining materials, is the largest material buyer in Sanshui Town.
"Shopkeeper Fang, the batch of nine-star iron I just processed today is all three-star, do you want to check it?" Yin Zhaoping walked into the material pavilion and said to the shopkeeper behind the counter with a smiling face, Yin Lan followed behind, carrying a big black bag in his hand.
The shopkeeper Fang, who lowered his head to settle the accounts, heard the voice, raised his head slightly, and saw that it was Yin Zhaoping, with an arrogant and superior expression, stroking the beard on his chin with one hand, and said lightly with the shelf: "Oh, it's Zhaoping." It's not once or twice that you come to me to sell materials, it's honest, and the inspection is exempt, you just put the nine-star iron on the scale, and I'll see how many catties it is. ”
Yin Zhao hurriedly motioned to his son and took a bag of nine-star iron to the scale next to him.
However, Yin Lan did not do what his father said, but carried a black leather bag, walked to the counter, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fang, these nine-star irons, I'm afraid they can't be sold by catties." ”
Yin Lan said, pouring all the Xingchen Iron in the black sack on the counter.
Yin Zhaoping was stunned by his son's inexplicable behavior, but it was too late to stop it, and he secretly screamed in his heart, Shopkeeper Fang was an arrogant person, and this bear child's actions would make Shopkeeper Fang angry.
Sure enough, the arrogant shopkeeper Fang saw that Yin Lan was so presumptuous, his brows furrowed suddenly, his face suddenly sank, and his expression was extremely displeased.
This kid is so ignorant!
