Inside the Valley of Water Clouds.

Qian Chao felt that if she asked someone to inquire about Tang Ping, not many people might know, after all, she was still a little girl refining qi, but since she had said that her master and aunt were very famous as fairies, there would definitely be many people who knew about it.

Sure enough, he randomly found a monk and asked, and they pointed him in a direction, and told him what the cave house of his predecessor looked like. So Qian Chao thanked him and followed the guidance of others all the way over.

Gu Huo's predecessor's cave house is a building built close to the mountain wall, although the momentum is extraordinary, but in Qian Chao's view, it is more like the gate of a cave. Outside, there is a white stone wall more than half a person high enclosing a large courtyard, and in the courtyard near the building there are several exquisite small buildings like wing houses, and there is a small pond facing the door, and there are a lot of bluestones outcropping from the water.

But I can't see a person, this is the cave of the predecessors, and Qian Chao doesn't dare to break in.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Qian Chao heard movement behind him, turned around to look, but was so frightened that he jumped a step back.

A tall stag with two horns like branches on its head came to Qian Chao's back at some point, and was looking at Qian Chao with a curious face, seeing Qian Chao jump away, it also stretched its neck and sniffed on Qian Chao's body, and then tilted its head to stare at Qian Chao.

Qian Chao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, the stag's eyes were clear and bright, although he was full of curiosity, but in Qian Chao's opinion, this stag was full of threats, if he made a slight mistake, he was afraid that the sharp horns on the head of the stag would definitely fork himself up and throw it into the air, Tang Ping's girl said that in the Jade Spirit Sect of Shuiyun Valley, the spirit beasts raised by the monks are not only used as pets, not only can they be used in a hurry, but also when fighting with people, this spirit beast is also an excellent helper, and the stag in front of him is probably the same.

was at a stalemate, when he heard someone behind him slap his palms and say, "Little junior brother, do you have something wrong?" ”

Hearing the high-five, the stag let go of the money tide, slowly passed by him, and walked in.

Qian Chao turned around and saw a young female monk who also stood behind him at some point, the female monk had a delicate face, and she also looked at him with a curious face, looking at the clothes and accessories, Qian Chao could recognize this female monk as a senior sister who built a foundation, and did not dare to slack off and hurriedly saluted.

"Senior sister, is Tang Ping here?"

"Are you ......?"

"Oh, my name is Qian Chao...... Nine Xuan Disciples...... ...... met Tang Ping in Youming Valley There's something going on with her...... I'll leave when that's done...... Trouble Senior Sister ......"

The female monk in front of her was still looking at the money tide up and down, and there was still a hint of surprise in her eyes, but the embarrassment of the little boy in front of her was funny in her eyes.

"You wait a while, come here and sit, Senior Sister Tang is working hard, I'll call her, I'll come in a while."

With that, the nun turned and left.

Seeing that the female monk was gone, Qian Chao breathed a sigh of relief, although he had also seen Monk Jiedan, but when Senior Tang was beside him, he only felt that he was an ordinary elder beside him, and there was no pressure. Today was the first time he had been stared at like this by a foundation building monk, and the kind of coercion that naturally arose from the huge difference between the cultivators made him very uncomfortable.

"Hey, money boy, why are you here?"

was waiting, and suddenly Tang Ping appeared out of nowhere.

"You're here, who was that?"

"My Senior Sister Ruoyu, why did you come to me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to discuss it with you, you might as well go to Brother Li early on the day you go to the Crane Tower, and go to Brother Li's place to gather first, didn't you say that it is secluded, there are few people there, and it is convenient to talk."

"Well, okay," Tang Ping nodded in agreement, "Then I'll take Sister Yan directly to Brother Li, when?" ”

"Let's go in the morning, and we'll go to the Crane Tower in the afternoon to see the excitement."

"Okay, that's it."

"Well, then I'll be fine, I'll go talk to Brother Lu and Brother Li."

After saying that, Qian Chao hung in the air, and a spirit sword flew out and swelled, and then came to his feet to support him, "Let's go", Qian Chao turned around and said a word, and disappeared with the sword in a flash.

"It's flying quite fast," Tang Ping was a little surprised by the flying speed of Qian Chao's spirit sword, "I knew I should have stopped him and asked, snatched it to play, forget it, it's not too late to wait until Brother Li arrives." ”

"Senior sister" Ruo Yu saw that the little boy was leaving with a flying sword, so she opened her mouth to call Tang Ping.

"Well, Senior Sister Ruoyu."

"Did that little guy really come from Youming Valley with you?"

"yes, we're going through the inner door together."

"Oh," Ruoyu nodded after hearing this, and looked in the direction where Qian Chao disappeared, "Then this little guy is not bad." ”

"Nice? Where's the good one? Tang Ping asked curiously.

"You didn't pay attention? There is also a small green brand hanging on his master's jade pendant, which is the brand of the Nine Xuanmen Chengqi Hall, and he can get that brand in more than three months and still wear it on his body, this little guy is not simple! ”

Tang Ping then remembered, it seems that Qian Chao was indeed hanging that small sign just now, and he told himself that he was not qualified to wear it last time they met, it seems that he must be qualified now, well, let's ask again when we meet.

Qian Chao found that since he showed Senior Brother Cheng the spirit sword he had refined that day, Senior Brother Cheng rarely took the initiative to guide him anymore, but if he asked, Senior Brother Cheng still knew everything.

Later, he learned that Senior Brother Cheng brought this group of new junior brothers and sisters, just to take them to be able to refine the spirit sword, since he can refine the spirit sword, then Senior Brother Cheng can let go of himself, the reason why he still has questions and answers to himself is that the relationship between the two is not bad, and Senior Brother Cheng seems to have a good impression of himself.

If the other disciples can refine the spirit sword by themselves, they will have to make their own decisions in the future cultivation and refining tools, there are many senior brothers in the master's family, if you don't understand, you can ask, and if you don't understand, you can ask for advice, and those senior brothers also come over like this.

Qian Chao will also go to the Chengqi Hall every day, if there are senior brothers and sisters who want him to help, he will also happily help the handle, and take the opportunity to ask for advice or two. When he had nothing to do, he refined the spirit sword by himself, but in front of people, he refined the spirit sword of the three runes, and later there were more spirit swords of the three runes, so he went directly to the inner hall to take it to those senior brothers in the inner hall.

"Senior Brother Qian's sword is refined...... Well, it's not bad! ”

The one who said this was the Senior Brother Fang who was talking about when he was going to Qiantang to relieve Xie Zhi.

This Senior Brother Fang looks to be nearly thirty years old, judging from his appearance, this person is an old-fashioned person, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes, and he is looking at the spirit sword brought by Qian Chao one by one.

"However, there are too many of them collected by the Three Runes Spirit Sword Formation Hall, so this price must not be high, are you willing?"

Qian Chao nodded and said, "Senior brother, my cultivation is still shallow, and it is the time when I need more green copper to practice, so, Senior Brother Fang, I don't want spirit stones for these swords, I just want to exchange some ores to use."

Senior Brother Fang nodded after hearing this, and said, "Senior Brother's idea is right, learning refining weapons, this is the way, don't rush to earn spirit stones." Well, on weekdays, three three-rune spirit swords can be exchanged for one ore, but your spirit sword looks like it took a lot of thought, it's not bad, I'm in charge, two swords and one ore, here are six swords, give you three ores, how about it? ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang."

I have heard those senior brothers who refine qi talk about it, and they know that these senior brothers who have built a foundation will definitely be able to sell these spirit swords that they have refined themselves at a good price, but Qian Chao doesn't care.

It's just a three-rune spirit sword, if you don't want to attract attention, Qian Chao will not be a problem refining more than a dozen in a day, even if it is a four-rune spirit sword, he can get several now, Qian Chao's plan is not to refine the third layer of qi refining The cultivation will not consider the matter of earning spirit stones, anyway, the spirit stones given by the master every month are enough, and now it is serious to get more materials.

"Well, Senior Brother Qian, I heard Senior Brother Cheng talk about you, he praised you for being a rare talent in alchemy, I also saw it just now, your sword refining is really good, if you want materials in the future, you can bring the refined spirit sword, but the three-rune sword is still a little lower-level, if you can refine the four-rune spirit sword, that kind of spirit sword can be exchanged for three or four ores."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang, I will work hard in the future."

After smelting a piece of green copper ore in Chengqitang, you can get a green copper ingot, and a green copper ingot can refine at least seven or eight spirit swords, so handing over the spirit sword to Chengqitang is not a loss in Qian Chao's opinion. However, he only exchanged two three-rune swords for one piece of ore, but those four-rune spirit swords could be exchanged for three or four ores, which was more attractive.

Later, after a while, when Qian Chao went to find the senior brother in the inner hall, he was a few three-rune swords and a four-rune spirit sword, and then the four-rune spirit sword slowly increased, and in the end, Qian Chao only handed over the four-rune spirit sword to the senior brother in the inner hall. In this way, those senior brothers in the inner hall also praised the speed of Qian Chao's alchemy progress, which is rare in the door.

"Senior Brother Qian, do you know how many spirit stones a four-rune spirit sword can sell?"

In a small talk, Cheng Qiantang asked Qian Chao, he knew that the spirit sword refined by Qian Chao had always been handed over to Neitang to exchange materials, although he had done it himself, but if he could sell it to the same door, wouldn't it be more profitable?

Qian Chao replied: "I heard that there are usually two or three spirit stones, and the better ones can be sold for four spirit stones." ”

"Then why don't you make more money?"

"This ...... Senior Brother Cheng, I don't even have the cultivation of the second layer of qi refining, the spirit stones given by the master every month are enough for me to use, now compared to the spirit stones, I am more willing to get more materials to practice and earn spirit stones, don't worry, I will have a chance in the future. ”

"Well, that's right, you're right, and it saves you a lot of trouble."

"By the way, Senior Brother Cheng, how did the matter between Senior Brother Xie and Senior Brother Du last time be resolved?"

"How else can it be solved, I heard that Senior Brother Du opened his mouth, and Senior Brother Xie must compensate him for more than 30 spirit stones, it seems that in the end, Senior Brother Xie took out more than 20 spirit stones to settle the matter, and it can be regarded as a heavy hemorrhage. Your cultivation is low now, I can't provoke people like Senior Brother Du, you only hand over the spirit sword to the inner hall to save this trouble. ”

"Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Xiang came to me a few days ago, saying that he has a way to bypass Senior Brother in the inner hall and sell my sword outside, as long as I want, I can hand over the spirit sword I refined to him, and he will help me sell it."

"Don't listen to him, everyone knows his method, that is, your cultivation is low, and you can't go out of the sect yet, in the future, when you reach the third layer of qi refining, you will know what's going on as soon as you get out of the sect, there are a few town shops outside the sect, and the people who come and go are cultivators like us, among them, there are some small families, small sects and even casual cultivators, these people are not high in cultivation, and they covet the spiritual weapons and pills of our Five Spirit Sect, but everything that can flow out of the sect will be taken away by them. What you said to your junior brother is to sell it to them, you don't lack spirit stones, you only want materials, there is no need, can you know the price of selling your spirit sword to your junior brother? To make wedding clothes for others in vain, it is better to get more materials from the senior brother in the inner hall. ”

"Well, Senior Brother is right, I didn't agree at the time, I only said that the Senior Brother of the Inner Hall gave a lot of materials, so Senior Brother Xiang felt that it was a pity."

"Humph! This is Xiang junior brother, when these junior brothers and sisters I teach now can refine the sword, he will definitely go to those people, and he can make a lot of money with the difference in the middle, but he doesn't sell it quickly, a spirit sword will be pressed for a long time in his hand before it can be sold, it's not worth it. ”

Qian Chao listened and nodded.

His practice of handing over all his spirit swords to the inner hall to change materials actually not only made Du Sha unreasonable unable to trouble him, but also made his popularity in the Chengqi Hall a lot better.

Think, if Qian Chao's spirit sword is sold in the sect, then the senior brothers and sisters in the Chengqi Hall will definitely think that since they have bought Qian Chao's sword, then they will naturally sell one less. Peers are enemies in the end! And now, although Senior Brother Qian's sword has been refined a lot, none of them have been sold in the sect, and they are only taken to the senior brother in the inner hall to exchange materials, so that everyone in the Chengqi Hall feels a lot more affectionate when they look at Qian Chao again.

"Senior Brother Qian, have you ever tried refining the spirit sword of the five runes?"

"Don't hide it from Senior Brother Cheng, I've tried a few times, but my cultivation is still too low, and after the fourth rune is engraved, I feel that the aura is not continuous, and it is difficult to support it, it seems that it will take a while to refine the five rune spirit sword."

"It's already very good, Senior Brother Qian, I can only refine the four-rune spirit sword when I am refining the third layer of qi, and you can try to refine the five-rune spirit sword when you have just cultivated the first layer of qi refining, which is really the envy of senior brother."

"What's there to envy about this, isn't Senior Brother still proficient in several Five Elements Spells? I don't know anything about the five elements. ”

"Have you seen Senior Brother Xu in the inner hall?"

"I've seen it a few times."

"Well, your path of cultivation is somewhat similar to Senior Brother Xu, when I first entered the sect, Senior Brother Xu had already built a foundation, at that time, I heard that Senior Brother Xu was obsessed with refining weapons, and reached the point of sleeplessness, I heard that Senior Brother Xu often went out to walk when he practiced qi, and he relied on the spiritual weapons he refined, and he came all the way, even if he was surprised, there was no danger, so he didn't have to pay too much attention to these five elements of spells, and it was serious to specialize in one industry."

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Qian, I heard that you have been going to the library a lot to find books to read recently?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Cheng, I went to the library to broaden my knowledge, and secondly, I can't always refine the spirit sword, you told me that there are many kinds of spirit weapons that can be refined, I went there to find out if there is such a book to read."

"Well, did you find that?"

"Not yet."

"Hahahaha, you can't find a book like that even if you turn the first floor upside down, come, take this."

Cheng Qiantang smiled as he handed a jade plaque to Qian Chao.

"...... this?"

"With this jade plaque, you can go up to the second floor of the library building, where you can find what you are looking for."

"But...... Senior Brother Cheng, you gave it to me, what if you go? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I am very good with several senior brothers in the library building, I don't need this sign for a long time when I go there, you take it, if someone asks you on the second floor, you just say that it is to help me get the book."

Qian Chao was overjoyed at this time, looked at the flawless jade in his hand, and then said to Cheng Qiantang: "Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng." ”

"Thank you, I can't read a few books a year."
