Volume 3: Ignorance of Qi Refining Thirty-Five: Tasteless?

It was an extremely important day for Qian Chao, first of all he felt the outline of the basic rules to be followed when spells were combined. In addition, the strange scenes in the sect that he saw when he used the blue eye technique had a profound impact on him, which was enough to change his future practice.

When Qian Chao first saw the mighty spiritual veins, aura and aura in the sect, he inevitably had some greed, and if he owned all of them, then he would be almost as good as an immortal, but it was funny to think about it, he could have this idea!

But the spiritual veins and aura are really like a vast river in Qian Chao's eyes, and when he looks at Qian Chao, his heart moves, and some thoughts come out.

For example, in dryland farming, farmers have to use wooden barrels to draw water from wells and irrigate seedlings little by little, which is extremely hard. Near the lake, farmers can dig ditches to divert water for irrigation, which is much easier.

After harvesting, the rice and wheat should be ground with a stone or the chaff or pressed into flour before it can be eaten, the stone mill is heavy, if it is pushed by manpower, it is exhausting, and mules and horses are generally used instead of manpower. However, farmers living by rivers would build water mills where the water was rushing on the banks, and it was easier to use water power to drive the stone mills.

The farmer abandoned the wooden barrel and used the ditch to divert water for irrigation, and there was not a single cent of water in the lake and river, and the water mill was built to drive the stone mill with the power of the current, and the turbulent river did not become calm.

Similarly, the vast spiritual vein in front of him, no matter how many generations of ancestors have fallen or ascended here, they can't let it lose a bit.

Manpower is sometimes poor, and it is impossible to accommodate all rivers, but if the method is right, can you make this vast and infinite heaven and earth aura for your own use even for a short time?

This is naturally impossible for Qian Chao to do now, but since he has this idea in his heart, it is like sowing a seed in his heart, and he can take root and sprout just by waiting for the right opportunity.

Later, Qian Chao created the "Spiritual Attraction Technique", and he had a joking explanation for this spell: Although my strength is very small and I can't beat others, I have a way to ask people with great strength and strong body to help me fight! Although there were many restrictions when using it, once it was used, it was really powerful, and he and his four companions were in danger several times in the future, and they used this method to kill strong enemies to save the day.

But that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.

It is said that this day is extremely important to Qian Chao, because it was on this day that Qian Chao personally refined the first spirit sword since his cultivation.

After obtaining the blue eye, on the spirit sword he got when he entered the Nine Xuan, he clearly recognized the three runes on it, a flying bird, a ruyi and a running wolf.

After seeing the rune clearly, Qian Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief. But to be honest, before he couldn't see this rune, he still felt that the spirit sword in his hand was very good, at least a sword that cut gold and jade. However, when he saw the three small runes on the sword surface, he couldn't help but pout in his heart, although the three runes were engraved correctly, they looked crooked and ugly. He felt that although he couldn't see the runes he had engraved when he was practicing, he was doing it carefully according to the appearance given in the "Six Runes True Meaning", at least he was extremely serious when he engraved the runes, and he didn't know which senior brother had refined the spirit sword in his hand, and it could probably be seen from the appearance of this rune that the senior brother seemed to be very careless when refining.

Thinking of this, Qian Chao suddenly had a strong urge to go to the Chengqi Hall to refine a spirit sword by himself, after all, he had the blue eye technique, so he had to give it a try.

I have never heard of a similar method in the door, and even Senior Brother Cheng doesn't know it, so it seems that there is either none, and my blue eye technique is unique; Either there is, but it is only in the hands of some advanced seniors who have cultivated and kept it secret, since this is the case, he will not be able to publicize it, and he is clear about Mu Xiu Yulin's truth. I have just entered this inner door, if it is too eye-catching, the senior brothers will not mention it with jealousy, those seniors are not expected to be the same as Tang seniors, it is better to be cautious and low-key.

However, refining weapons is another matter, Senior Brother Cheng mistakenly thinks that his spiritual root qualifications are very good, and he is a manufacturable material for refining weapons, and he has been in the Chengqi Hall for a while, so it should be a little better.

Qian Chao Yukong has been coming to Chengqitang.

The hall is still brightly lit, and it is open to Jiuxuan disciples both day and night.

After Qian Chao entered, a senior brother saw him and asked in surprise, "Senior brother Qian, where have you been in the past two days, and how many people are looking for you?" ”

Qian Chao was curious when he heard this, so he asked, "Senior Brother Xiang, who has looked for me, what are the things?" ”

"It doesn't matter, I just want you to help smelt a few ores. Hey, why did Senior Brother Qian come over so late? ”

"Some things have been delayed in the past two days, and I haven't come, I'm afraid that my hands will be raw, so I'll come over as soon as the matter is over."

"Hehe, Senior Brother Qian is diligent."

After chatting a few words, the senior brother Xiang walked away.

At this time, there were still people in the Chengqi Hall, but it was obviously not as crowded as during the day, Qian Chao deliberately found a fire eye in a secluded place, and after sitting on the futon, he took out a piece of green copper from the storage bag. Most of his green copper was scattered, and most of it was given to him by others after helping people smelt ore.

The green copper is not big, I can't remember who gave it to me, but it is suitable to refine a spirit sword.

After thinking about the whole process of refining the spirit sword in his heart, and after confirming that there was no omission, Qian Chao removed the stone slab that covered the fire eye, and used the fire control technique to lure out the fire power in the fire eye, and the green copper fluttered up and hung above the flames under Qian Chao's imperial technique.

After a while, the green copper turned dark red under the high temperature, and Qian Chao increased the firepower in the fire eye, and the green copper gradually changed from dark red to bright red and finally became bright white, and finally the original inherent form gradually disappeared, becoming a white glowing, high-temperature hot juice-like ball.

The first step in refining the spirit sword is to refine the sword embryo, this step is actually not difficult, as long as the imperial art is mastered with fire, and there is something in the heart, the imperial art will be molded according to the monk's mind.

Sword, Qian Chao has seen a lot, before he arrived at this Five Spirit Sect, there was a handful hanging on the wall of his father Qian Qianli's study, speaking of which, the shape of the spirit sword in this sect was still different from what he had seen before, he used the Imperial Technique to tightly clamp the bright white green bronze, and what he thought was the sword style he had seen before, and the white green bronze seemed to be injected into a transparent iron fan under the Imperial Technique, and it was drawn slender little by little, and slowly appeared The sword spine, the blade, the tip of the sword, and then the hilt, the sword, Sword hammer, Qian Chao carefully recalled the style of the sword in his father's study, and presented it in front of him little by little.

Naturally, monks don't need to be beaten by a forging furnace to refine their swords, and it is enough to use the Imperial Technique.

After the sword embryo was formed, Qian Chao carefully looked at the shape of the white and bright little sword, and then inspected the proportions, and finally confirmed that it was correct.

The firepower of the fire eye was weakened by Qian Chao a little, and the bright white sword gradually turned into a bright red color.

At this time, it is time to engrave the runes on the blade of the sword.

Qian Chao solemnly got up, even if he had blue eyes at this step, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. His first spirit sword, Qian Chao is also ready to refine it into a spirit sword with three runes, which is the same as the spirit sword given to him by the master. The runes on the sword are also prepared with the Bird Talisman, the Ruyi Talisman and the Running Wolf Talisman.

Staring at the bright red sword in front of him, Qian Chao stopped the Yuan Chu Technique, leaving only the Imperial Artifact Technique to hold the small sword.

Those three runes had already been written silently thousands of times in his heart, but writing on such a narrow sword body, it seemed that it really had to be written like a fly's head.

Come on, Qian Chao thought silently in his heart, closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, a light appeared in his eyes.

A part of the aura in the body was quickly withdrawn, Qian Chao's right index finger moved slightly, and with his index finger, a thin bright blue line continued to wander on the sword body of the small sword, gradually staggered horizontally and vertically, a little circled, and finally a neatly written Ruyi charm was engraved on the sword body of the small sword.

I don't have time to appreciate the runes I engraved, and now the Blue Eye Technique and the Imperial Technique are used together, I don't know if the carved runes consume too much spiritual power or the Blue Eye Technique consumes too much spiritual power, and if it takes a moment longer, Qian Chao is really a little worried that these three runes can't be engraved completely.

Not far from the wishful talisman, Qian Chao used the Imperial Technique to engrave a bird talisman that looked like it was about to fly.

I don't know if I'm nervous or excited, when I engraved the third wolf run, Qian Chao almost made a mistake, okay, okay! He suppressed the ups and downs of the spiritual power in his body, and finally completed the carving of the hideous and sharp wolf rune in a soothing and smooth manner.

The three runes gradually faded and disappeared in his eyes, not because the engraving failed, but because Qian Chao's aura could not support it, so he could only stop the blue eye technique and only use the imperial art to hold the small sword.

After staring at the small sword for a while, Qian Chao opened the lid of a stone altar beside him, and the water in it was specially used for quenching the spirit sword.

"Snort", the white steam in the altar evaporated, the small sword rolled in the altar a few times, and was taken out by Qian Chao after cooling, after the quenching of the medicinal water in this jar, the green copper sword will no longer be the dark green color of green copper after it is completely cooled, and the spirit sword after forming is naturally glittering.

The eye of fire was still not closed, the scarlet flames reflected Qian Chao's eyes shining, he took the spirit sword that had just been refined in his hand, and was carefully looking at the first spirit sword he had refined with the blue eye technique.

At least the three runes above Qian Chao is still very satisfied.

There are many spirit swords refined by everyone in the Chengqi Hall, and the stone for testing the sword here is indispensable. Qian Chao beckoned a sword test stone to shoot it in the air.

The small sword in his hand floated up under Qian Chao's mind, quickly grew to the size of a normal spirit sword, and circled around the sword test stone a few times in the air, and then after a sword light flashed, "poof" twice, the sword test stone was cut in half and fell to the ground.

Qian Chao took a closer look at the cut surface of the stone, and found that it was unusually smooth, so he was satisfied, and it seemed that the first sword refining was completed.

In the excitement, Qian Chao used his spirit sword to slash and stab at the sword test stone, and a stone bench-sized sword test stone was quickly broken into a pile of stones less than the size of a fist.

"Is Senior Brother Qian refining the Spirit Sword?" After hearing the voice, the previous senior brother turned his head and saw the sword test stone on the ground, so he asked Qian Chao.

"yes, I just made one." Qian Chao does not hide it.

"Oh, how many runes?" He asked Senior Brother again.

"Three runes, of course."

"Alas, now the spirit sword of the three runes is used for their own practice, and the spirit swords of the four runes are not easy to sell, those people want a spirit sword of five runes, and they don't want to spend more spirit stones, how can there be such a cheap thing, the price they offer is not even enough for the capital, hmph, it is better to sell it to the senior brother of the inner hall."

"Oh? The spirit sword of the three runes, do the senior brothers in the inner hall also accept it? ”

"Collect, why don't you accept it, they will naturally accept it if they have a way to sell it, but they keep the price very low, and the price they give for the three-rune sword is not even a spirit stone."

"What about the four-rune spirit sword?" Qian Chao asked again.

"Well, the four-rune spirit sword is not much higher, the price they gave, a four-rune spirit sword is less than two spirit stones, but if you don't want a spirit stone, two four-rune spirit swords can be exchanged for a few pieces of green copper ore. The four-rune spirit sword can be sold to people in the sect at a higher price, but that's it, you see how many people here are refining weapons every day, let's Chengqi Hall These people in the Chengqi Hall will lower the price of each other in order to sell their own things, not to mention, you also saw the incident of Senior Brother Xie a few days ago, alas, even if it is sold, sometimes it is worried. ”

"What about your spirit sword, Senior Brother Xiang?"

"Me? cough, my spirit sword is the same, I will take it to those senior brothers in the inner hall if I refine it haphazardly, and I don't want their spirit stones, just ores. The refining is not bad, hehe, you will know in the future, there are still other ways, your cultivation is still shallow, it is useless to tell you now, you will know in the future. ”

After saying this, Senior Brother Xiang didn't want to talk any more, turned around and went back to busy himself.

Seeing that people don't talk about it, it is inconvenient for Qian Chao to ask again, but as long as there is an extra rune on this spirit sword, the price will rise a lot, and this Qian Chao understands it.

When refining the spirit sword just now, because it was the first time, it was inevitable that he was nervous and inexperienced, not only wasted a lot of time, but also consumed a lot of his spiritual power for no reason.

Do what you think.

Before Qian Chao returned to that fire eye, he first meditated and practiced for a while, so that the aura that he had lost just now was replenished. Then he rummaged through his storage bag for a while, found a piece of green copper that was slightly larger than just now, and concocted it according to the method he had just refined, and soon a small sword that was exactly the same appeared in the same way.

Senior Brother Cheng once said that after using his own spirit sword to slash an ordinary three-rune spirit sword, his spirit sword was just one more rune than the sword that was cut open, Qian Chao once asked, Senior Brother Cheng's four-rune spirit sword was nothing more than an engraved wolf rune, and Qian Chao also wanted to give it a try.

This second time he engraved the rune on the sword embryo, Qian Chao was no longer as nervous as he was just now, but he was still very serious, until the last rune was engraved, Qian Chao stopped his blue eyes, and after Qian Chao stopped his blue eyes, he felt that if he continued, the fifth rune could only be engraved for half a year at most. However, if you cultivate a little more, it is not difficult to refine a five-rune spirit sword.

It is inconvenient for Qian Chao to test the sword in this Chengqi Hall, and if the cultivation of the first layer of Qi refining can refine the spirit sword of the four runes, it is still too conspicuous, so Qian Chao quietly went out of the Chengqi Hall, found a place where no one was, took out the four-rune spirit sword, and played tricks.

Well, the wishful charm and the bird charm are all engraved correctly, and the rest depends on the color of the two wolf running charms.

Qian Chao took out the three-rune spirit sword he got when he entered the master's door, this sword has been disgusted by him because of the crooked rune engraved on it, and he is ready to use it to test the sword, anyway, even if it is broken, it can be re-smelted, so there is no need to feel distressed.

With a "ding", the two spirit swords quickly struck together, and sure enough, Qian Chao's four-rune spirit sword easily cut the three-rune spirit sword.

Qian Chao looked at the gap in the broken sword, and slashed twice before stopping. Looking at it with the blue eye technique, the runes that originally shone with a faint blue light on the broken sword have dimmed, and this three-rune spirit sword has been abolished. He took the four-rune spirit sword he had refined and looked at it carefully, and he was unharmed!

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as when Senior Brother Cheng demonstrated it at that time.

But...... Qian Chao found a stone and sat down, and the spirit sword in his hand was placed on his lap, but why did he have a boring feeling at this time?

The biggest difficulty in refining this refining tool is that when the runes are engraved, it is like a blind man riding a blind horse, and he doesn't know what the runes he engraved look like and whether they are accurate. But after such barriers were broken, how did this refining tool become so simple, and even a little boring?

It's like a reader who reads hard day and night in order to catch the exam, but he can know the exam questions in advance, read the book at will, and prepare a few articles to easily pass the exam.

When I didn't have this blue eye technique, I was worried that the refining tool would fail, why did I finally have the blue eye technique, but I was like a thief who cheated in the scientific field. Even when he entered the Nine Mysterious Sects, all kinds of longing and yearning for this alchemy technique gradually faded, shouldn't this blue eye technique be there?

When he was a child, Qian Chao often went out to play under the care of his family, and saw tricks on the street, such as a live chicken and a rabbit in an empty bag, or a bowl of white water with a hand towel cover, and then uncover the hand towel, the bowl is actually a bowl of ice steaming white, every time at this time Qian Chao will be extremely curious, must make a clear understanding.

Of course, he can guess some of them, and if he can't guess them, he will let his family follow him to give him some money for the trick, and he must let the family tell him how he got it. The trick is that one gets money, the second is that he can't afford to provoke him, the young master of the official family, and the third is that this little master will definitely not play tricks on the street in the future to grab food from himself, so he will find a place where no one will tell Qian Chao a secret of his trick, whenever at this time, Qian Chao will be very interested in the trick after he understands it, and he will not even bother to watch it when he encounters it in the future.

Qian Chao is now very interested in this alchemy technique.

Senior Brother Cheng's own spirit sword is a five-rune spirit sword, when it comes to that sword, Senior Brother Cheng is still very complacent, it is not easy to refine such a spirit sword according to his cultivation, so he was favored by the master and asked him to teach this group of new disciples the art of refining.

How many years has Senior Brother Cheng been practicing in the master's door, Qian Chao doesn't know, but he can refine the four-rune spirit sword in less than three months, if he wants the five-rune spirit sword, although he can't now, but in another month or two, the cultivation will be deeper, it is estimated that it will be about the same, at most half a year later, if he took a five-rune spirit sword to Senior Brother Cheng at that time, I really don't know how Senior Brother Cheng felt at that time.

There is also the Senior Brother Xiang just now, when he saw Senior Brother Cheng, he also wanted to call Senior Brother Cheng, it is estimated that the best thing that Senior Brother Xiang refined is the Four Runes Spirit Sword, but he was so stingy that he was reluctant to tell himself where to sell it, hum, interesting!

It's like a group of blind people walking, and they can use it as a crutch when they feel a wooden branch, which is of course more stable and faster than those who can only grope their way forward.

And although he was behind the crowd, he opened his eyes.

Compared with such a group of blind people, the journey is naturally boring, just like having blue eyes and then going to see those senior brothers refining weapons, it is even more boring! Piggybacking on it made Qian Chao feel that this alchemy technique was a little boring.

Looking up, there were not many stars to be seen under the clear light of a bright moon in the middle of the night sky.

Qian Chao thought of the bronze carriage he rode in when he went to Youming Valley, it was the first thing that shocked him, how many runes could it be? It is estimated that none of the six runes in the "Six Runes of True Meaning" have any of them, after all, the use of the carriage and the spirit sword is completely different, and none of the six runes recorded in the "Six Runes True Meaning" can make the carriage less than half the size of a firewood house the size of a palace.

If you have the opportunity to see the carriage again, you must use the blue eye technique to take a good look at the runes on it.

Yes! Runes, Senior Brother Cheng once said when he told himself about the "True Meaning of the Six Runes", the art of refining is actually just a function of the study of runes, and there are many uses of runes that I have never learned or heard of, how can I lose my enterprising spirit first?

Senior Brother Cheng also said that the art of refining weapons is evolved from the study of runes, and almost all runes can be used for refining, and there are only six runes in "Six Runes True Meaning", and he has only learned these six, and the spirit sword refined with three of them is extremely sharp. What about the other runes?

He also heard that there were three branches of Jiuxuan's rune learning, the first was refining weapons, the second was talismans, and the third was formations. All three branches are extremely difficult to practice, and they all take a lot of years for the monks. It is estimated that refining weapons should be the easiest, otherwise why don't the disciples who are just starting out learn talismans and formations, and only let people start learning the Five Elements Spell and Alchemy?

He hadn't seen the spirit runes made of the talisman technique, but he had experienced the formation, and he was trapped in the small five spirit array with a few partners at that time, and the strange symbols on the stone pillars he saw were probably runes, right? What kind of runes are those, and why are they carved on pillars and placed there to form a formation to take away people's spiritual roots? Apart from these, is there any other use for the formation?

I've been busy with this alchemy for a while, and occasionally I look at the books I got from the library, and it seems to be said in the book "Ten Thousand Sources to Collect" that the study of runes is the foundation of refining, talisman making and formation, but unfortunately I have only mastered six runes for refining, and I can't understand what this sentence means. Think about the library building, the collection of books on the first floor alone is enough to be vast, how many have you read?

There is a book called "Rune Diagram" in the book I have read, which also records some simple rune evolution content, the same rune is used in refining tools and used in the production of spirit runes There is a difference in drawing method, but there are not many records in the book, I can't imagine that the already crooked, obscure runes can still evolve, it's amazing.

However, the road has to be taken step by step, and it must make sense for the master to arrange for his disciples to learn from the art of refining weapons first.

When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered the huge boat that his group took on the way from Youming Valley to the inner gate, the big ship was wooden and huge, and finally it was included in a painting by the senior, what is the mystery of that big ship? Is there any other ship on the painting in the hand of the senior? These are certainly very different from ordinary alchemy.

Thinking of the wooden boat, Qian Chao thought that even in alchemy, there are many classifications, such as gold and stone refiners, and refining spirit swords by himself is this one. In addition, there are wood and bamboo, silk and silk, leather armor and muscles and bones, and many materials can be refined. Those who haven't even learned it themselves. Take this gold and stone refining weapon as an example, he has only used green copper, and he doesn't know what the other materials he got from smelting ore for those senior brothers and sisters on weekdays are of any use. In addition, the refining weapon is not only for refining the spirit sword, speaking of which, the spirit sword is the simplest kind of refining weapon, using fewer materials and fewer runes. There are also many complex and high-level refining tools that you can't do by yourself, and there are so many things to learn!

With this blue eye, he stands taller than others and sees farther, why is he still hypocritical? This blue eye technique was not stolen from others, it was obtained by suffering by himself, God let himself have it, that is, let himself work these things he didn't understand, but it was ridiculous that he had the strange years of being a thief and taking advantage of others?

Qian Chao, Qian Chao, when are you like the toad at the bottom of the well, you feel that you have seen the whole world when you look at the well!

It's ridiculous!

Qian Chao patted his head gently, looked up at the sky again, the moon was bright and round in the middle of the sky, but it was like a small well, as if the boundless night around him was the darkness in the well, and he could only see a piece of light when he poked his head out of the moon.

Qian Chao is back in the Chengqi Hall, there are too many things to learn, and the mastery of the learned hands is not proficient, even if he masters his own cultivation is still very low, even if his cultivation is improved, then he can learn more, how can there be so much time to let himself and himself can't get by, mediocrity disturbs himself!

Anyway, I don't feel sleepy at all now, so it's better to refine a few more spirit swords while thinking about which direction I should work in the future.

That night until dawn, Qian Chao refined a few more spirit swords, all of which were four-rune spirit swords, and the covenant with Tang Ping on the Crane Tower was approaching, and Qian Chao was ready to change the spirit swords in his hands for Tang Ping and the others.

However, a few people gathered that day, but they could change it first, and I heard Tang Ping say that Brother Li's place is big and secluded, so it is better for a few people to go to Brother Li to talk for a while before going to the Crane Tower, so as not to make it inconvenient for the Crane Tower to talk too many people.

Later, he waited for Cheng Qiantang in that courtyard and showed Senior Brother Cheng the first three-rune spirit sword he had refined, and then returned to his residence.

As soon as he went back, he first excitedly played with the spirit sword he had refined for a while, but soon fatigue came in, so he had to go into the room and throw himself on the couch, and slept happily all day.
