Volume 3: Ignorant Qi Refining Nineteen: Passing the Imperial Technique
Senior Brother Cheng has just been free in the past few days, and according to what he said to those juniors and sisters before, there are still seven or eight days before the examination of the Imperial Artifact Technique, and no one has entered this courtyard for two or three days to ask him how to practice the Imperial Artifact Technique in order to make progress. He was also happy to be idle, and when he had nothing to do, he sat behind the case and took out a book to study carefully.
Qian Chao saw Senior Brother Cheng who was studying from a distance outside the hospital, and wanted to walk in, but he was a little hesitant.
These days, he has been staying in his own small courtyard, only occasionally going out for a stroll when he is depressed, his residence is surrounded by disciples who entered Jiuxuan with him, and they have all stayed in Youming Valley together for a year, even if they are not familiar with each other when they were in Youming Valley, and now they have become Jiuxuan's fellow disciples, and they have also become nodding friends, although there are many people who can't name them.
From their chats, Qian Chao knew some things, such as the one-month deadline given after Senior Brother Cheng's lecture last time, and now there are less than ten days left in this month, and there are already many disciples who have cultivated the art of refining together have gone to Brother Cheng to ask Senior Brother Cheng how to cultivate this art faster, and some people think that they have cultivated well and come to Brother Cheng to show off, but what Senior Brother Cheng said is basically the same: the practice of the art of things is closely related to his own cultivation, otherwise the art of things is a tree without roots and water without a source, junior disciples, let's go back and practice hard, put more effort into it, and come back when the fire is ready.
Qian Chao felt that something was not right, that Senior Brother Cheng only gave a month, he was right, the Imperial Technique is indeed related to personal cultivation, but how much can these new disciples who have just started in a month improve their cultivation? Nature is very limited. But he still wants to take the test for these people's imperial arts in a month, and if he wants to say that Senior Brother Cheng has no deep meaning in doing this, Qian Chao doesn't believe it. I also remembered what Senior Brother Cheng said that almost everyone in the Nine Profound Sects knows the means of refining weapons with both hands, but less than one or two out of a hundred are really proficient in refining weapons, and there are very few.
Gradually, Senior Brother Cheng's purpose, or the purpose that the master wanted to achieve through Senior Brother Cheng, gradually became clear in front of Qian Chao's eyes.
However, it is not difficult for any child who has been in a private school for a while to recognize a few words, and to write an article in the format of a book after staying for a long time. But in the eyes of the gentlemen, if a child in a room full of children is willing to make great efforts to write neatly, he will naturally be delighted, and if this child can write beautifully, it must be a good material, and he will devote more effort to his mountain.
Senior Brother Cheng must be a routine of the master to do this, the purpose is to see if there are any materials in this group of disciples who can be made in the art of refining, and they have to take the school in such a short period of time, they are nothing more than the skill of refining in addition to the effort, more attention is paid to the ingenuity when refining the weapon, if you can't even pass the level of the imperial art, what kind of ingenuity?
Thinking of this, Qian Chao wanted to go to Senior Brother Cheng to give it a try, but he hesitated when he came to the door, but after re-evaluating himself in his heart, he made up his mind again, even if he was not recognized by Senior Brother Cheng, it was a big deal that he would continue to work hard, so it would be useless to be timid.
"Senior Brother Cheng," Qian Chao greeted after entering the door.
Senior Brother Cheng put down the book in his hand when he heard the sound, and when he saw Qian Chao, he was slightly stunned, so he smiled and beckoned him over.
"Senior Brother Qian, but is there anything you don't understand about my cultivation?"
Waiting for Qian Chao to sit across from him, Senior Brother Cheng asked.
"After practicing these days, I want to ask Senior Brother Cheng to take a look, and if there is anything wrong, I will ask Senior Brother Cheng to help me point it out, and Senior Brother will correct it in the future."
Senior Brother Cheng listened to the secret saying that this is obviously the intention of letting him take the exam in advance, so let's take a look, after all, this Senior Brother Qian in the library building makes people feel unusual.
"Okay, then I'll take a look, Senior Brother Qian, please."
I saw that Qian Chao took out a stone the size of a human head from the storage bag, put it on Senior Brother Cheng's case first, and asked him to check it. Senior Brother Cheng quietly put a finger on the stone and knew that although this stone was common, it was also hard, and he had not moved his hands and feet, so he withdrew his finger and nodded to Qian Chao, signaling him to continue.
Seeing Senior Brother Cheng nodding, the tide of money began.
Then the stone began to hang half a foot above the desk, and then there seemed to be a living creature in the stone that was eager to get out of it, and it rushed around, causing the stone to tremble and shake rapidly, and it became more and more intense, and then with a "snap", the stone broke in half.
Since the stone began to tremble, Senior Brother Cheng's face began to become serious, and when the stone cracked, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he secretly said that this little junior brother's technique was almost the same as when he demonstrated it that day, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Qian Chao.
Although the stone was split in half, it continued to tremble, and after a while, it cracked into four pieces with two "snaps".
Senior Brother Cheng nodded, the secret way is good, but I still have to continue to look at it, and see what this fast stone can finally become in the hands of Senior Brother Qian.
With a series of "popping" sounds, the stone the size of a human head turned into a pile of small stones, the largest being the size of grapes. At this time, Qian Chao changed a method, and those small stones no longer continued to crack, but were tightly squeezed into a ball by Qian Chao's imperial art, at this time Qian Chao's two hands were aimed at the stones, and the stones were also grasped by a powerful big hand in the palm of the palm of the general non-stop rubbing, hard stones rubbed back and forth between each other, loss, and a burst of "squeak" grinding teeth like a sound that made people's ears tight, and soon there was a small half of fine gravel mixed with it.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Cheng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, smart, this Senior Brother Qian's cultivation is still shallow, and his spiritual power is insufficient, so he can't continue to crack the stone like himself, so he actually thought of this method, but he has the same goal, and he saves spiritual power, so he is really smart.
After almost all the stones had turned into fine gravel, and only a few fine stones the size of beans remained, Qian Chao's five fingers of his right hand moved slightly, and he saw that the mass of gravel began to rotate on the case, and when he stopped, there were a few fine stones the size of beans on the top of the small sand pile. After that, the pile of sand and gravel gathered into a sand ball under the magic of Qian Chao, but it did not rotate, but only bounced back and forth like a leather ball on the case, and then divided into two sand balls, then four, and finally more than twenty walnut-sized sand balls jumped back and forth on the case, and when they jumped outside the case, they bounced back as if they hit the wall, and they did not scatter when they collided with each other, but bounced off each other like real leather balls, and in the end these sand balls danced back and forth like sugar gourds, and continued to be connected head and tail to form a circle whirring and turningIt gradually tightened into a ball of sand, and when the rotation stopped, the ball of sand spread out, and the few bean-sized fine stones were still on top of the small pile of sand.
After Qian Chao did this, he sighed, respectfully saluted Senior Brother Cheng, and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, please advise more." ”
After reading it, Senior Brother Cheng's face was flat, but he was very surprised in his heart.
Qian Chao's expectations were not bad, the reason why this Senior Brother Cheng wanted to test everyone's imperial art was nothing more than to see if there were any talents in refining among these disciples, after all, the difference between refining and proficient in refining is too big, just like the difference between a person who can write and a calligrapher.
Since that day, after leaving the words of everyone who wanted to take the school exam, there are really a lot of disciples who have come to this academy to find this Senior Brother Cheng these days, the first one is to ask how to practice this imperial art to improve faster, and the later ones have the mentality of being dissatisfied with a bottle and swaying in half a bottle, and they are self-holding or have a good spiritual root or some cleverness in front of Senior Brother Cheng, which makes this Cheng Qiantang secretly laugh and send them away one by one.
Only today's Senior Brother Qian made his eyes shine, and he felt amazing.
Cheng Qiantang's cultivation has already crossed the small five levels, and the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining is much more advanced than Qian Chao, but he didn't expect that he could do it with the Imperial Technique, this little junior disciple who is just getting started, and the first level of qi refining can actually do it, although the technique is a little different, but it is this difference that can see the cleverness of this Qian junior brother. This made Cheng Qiantang not only surprised, but even a little jealous, but he quickly eliminated this undeserved mentality.
This Senior Brother Cheng Qiantang's background was not selected by A, but from a small family, but he was not sent, but his own family chose him.
The family chose their own well-qualified sons and nephews to enter the Wuling Sect just to let them learn something useful to the family to go back, generally alchemy and alchemy, Cheng Qiantang failed to enter Qixia Mountain when he entered the Five Spirits, so he could only practice this refining technique in Jiuxuan, he is also a person with good qualifications, a very stable heart and a relatively intelligent person, so in Jiuxuan, the art of refining weapons in these years is also considered to be the best among his peers. Recently, his family sent someone to send him a letter, saying that the family had prepared a generous gift for his apprenticeship, and was ready to let him worship under a Jiuxuan Shen senior, if so, then he would be safe to build a foundation in the future, but the family has done this for him, and it also means that he doesn't have to think about the position of the person in charge of the family in the future, and the family will definitely not know which brother he is doing with all his strength, but it doesn't matter, he is also very good now, and his status will not be low when he returns home in the future.
Although Cheng Qiantang is not very old, he is a shrewd person, this little junior brother in front of him, he always has a feeling in his heart that this person will definitely have extraordinary attainments in the art of refining weapons in the future, and he doesn't know where this feeling comes from, is it because of the imperial art demonstrated by this senior brother Qian? It's almost, but it's not all, the intelligence in the eyes of this little junior brother is something he has never seen in the eyes of other junior brothers and sisters. In the future, I always have to go back to my own small family, if I go back to this Five Spirit Sect and have a junior brother with superb alchemy skills, it will be a good thing for myself and my family.
Well, no matter what happens in the future, if you want to get married, you have to get married as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Cheng's heart made up his mind to pay attention.
Qian Chao didn't expect that Senior Brother Cheng's heart would think of so many things in this short moment, he saw a smile on Senior Brother Cheng's face, and then stood up and said to himself:
"Senior Brother Qian, come with me."
Qian Chao didn't understand what he meant, but he immediately got up and followed, and then he couldn't help but rejoice when he saw Senior Brother Cheng walking with him towards the small gate of the courtyard leading to the Chengqi Hall next door.
"Senior Brother Qian, congratulations, you don't have to participate in that examination school in a few days, what you show me today is enough, and you can continue to practice alchemy in this academy in the future."
As he spoke, Senior Brother Cheng pushed open the small door and walked in, motioning for Qian Chao to come over.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng," Qian Chao said, and stepped in.
