Volume 3: Ignorant Qi Refining Sixty-Seven: Ten Methods of Blind Selection (Entering the Inner Hall)
Qian Chao went to Qixia Mountain a few days ago, asked Yan Xuan how the Dan furnace was, and wrote down the deficiencies of Yan Xuan when he used it, and redesigned it after he went back.
"Senior Brother Qian," Xu Bo called.
When Qian Chao saw that it was Xu Bo, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Bo nodded, looked at the Dan furnace refined by Qian Chao, and said, "Senior Brother Qian, please come to the inner hall early tomorrow morning, be sure to be early, don't make a mistake." After that, he went back.
The senior brothers in this inner hall rarely come out to wander around, so after Senior Brother Xu went back, many people looked at Qian Chao and discussed.
And Qian Chao's heart was excited, if his sword armor was not approved, it would be enough to call himself to the inner hall to say something, then Senior Brother Xu actually let himself go early tomorrow morning, and specially instructed "Don't be mistaken", thinking of this, the corners of Qian Chao's mouth curled, and his eyes were full of smiles.
It should be a good thing, many people are happy to see Qian Chao and guess.
Early the next morning, Qian Chao arrived at the inner hall early, and when he came, he also packed up his outfit in front of the bronze mirror, so as to be neat and decent.
"Senior Brother Qian is early" The first person he saw was Senior Brother Fang Yanfang, and when he saw Qian Chao waiting in the inner hall, he greeted him with a smile.
"Senior Brother Fang," Qian Chao said after seeing the salute, "I don't dare not be early." ”
"Haha, guessed? Yes, your sword armor has already passed, but it is not for the five senior brothers to show you, because your cultivation is still shallow, and you have never had it for so many years, so the inner hall is also very important, this time I specially invited ten senior brothers for you, and the method of 'ten blind selection' that is rarely used is also used. ”
"Ten blind selections?" Qian Chao asked puzzled.
"Well, a very strict method is to mix the sword armor you have refined with other sword armor, but anyone who knows you and has seen your sword armor is not allowed to participate, and then invite ten more people to choose from these sword armor that meet the standards of the inner hall, guess what?"
"Senior brother, please speak"
"Haha, congratulations, junior brother, you are among the ten senior brothers who have selected the appropriate sword armor, ten, haha, rare and rare, congratulations!"
Qian Chao only knew at this time that his sword armor examination school was so strict this time, and it seemed that it was not easy for ordinary disciples to enter this inner hall.
"You wait a while, and in a while those senior brothers who participated in your sword armor examination school have arrived, and we will start."
"Yes"
After a while, Senior Brother Fang Yan found Qian Chao again and took him to a hall, in that hall, only Xu Bo Qian Chao knew him, and the other ten people were different in height, short, fat and thin, all of whom Qian Chao had never seen, and they were the ten senior brothers who had taken the examination for his own sword armor.
"Hello Senior Brother Xu, hello Senior Brothers." After Qian Chao entered, he saluted in a proper manner.
As soon as they saw the tide of money coming in, the ten people they didn't know had different expressions, all of them were strange and suspicious, and some even asked, "Is it really this little junior brother?" Senior Brother Fang, you're not mistaken, right? "This little junior brother's cultivation is so shallow, is it really him who refined that sword armor?"
It was Xu Bo who answered, and he stood up and said to everyone: "Senior brothers, that sword armor is indeed refined by this Senior Brother Qian, and this can't be wrong." ”
When Xu Bo opened his mouth, these people didn't speak, and after a pause, someone said again, "Well, it seems that our inner hall is really full of talents, a good thing, a good thing!" ”
"Well, I know that I don't speak as convincingly as Senior Brother Xu, alas, you guys! Come, Senior Brother Qian, I'll introduce you to you. ”
"This little junior brother's surname is Qian Mingchao, and he is the one who participated in this sword armor examination."
"Senior Brother Qian, this is Senior Brother Gao Yan, you come to see you."
"I've seen Senior Brother Gao." Qian Chao saluted respectfully, and the man smiled and returned the salute and couldn't stop looking at Qian Chao.
"This is Senior Brother Gao Xiuwei, and he is also a Senior Brother Gao."
"Hello Senior Brother Gao, I've met Senior Brother Gao."
"This is Senior Brother Li Yundao."
"I've seen Senior Brother Li."
"This is Senior Brother Wang Xiang"
"This is Senior Brother Zhou Zhong"
"This is Senior Brother Xue Yan"
"This is Senior Brother Sima Xiaoyan"
"This is Senior Brother Zhang Shark"
"This is Senior Brother Li Yong"
"This is Senior Brother Yan Zheng"
Of the ten senior brothers who were admitted to the school Qian Chao's sword armor, Fang Yan introduced Qian Chao one by one, and Qian Chao saluted one by one, and at the same time secretly kept the appearance and names of these people in his heart.
"Senior Brother Qian, among these senior brothers, two senior brothers Gao, as well as Senior Brother Yan and Senior Brother Zhang, are good at refining swords, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Sima and Senior Brother Xue are good at refining armor, Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Li are good at miscellaneous weapons, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask for advice."
"Yes, it will be necessary to trouble you senior brothers in the future." Qian Chao saluted everyone again.
"It's easy to say," said Senior Brother Sima, who looked the oldest among the ten, "Senior Brother Qian also opened my eyes, the sword armor refined by the cultivation of the second layer of Qi refining made me feel amazed and admired, Senior Brother Qian still has to practice diligently, and I am still looking forward to supporting each other with Senior Brother Qian in the future!" ”
"Senior Brother Qian," Xu Bo said, "The sword armor you refined has passed the examination school of the ten senior brothers, and the sword armor will be kept in the inner hall, here is the record of your sword and armor examination this time, your ten senior brothers have already read and signed their names, you take a look, if it is correct, write your name here." ”
Xu Bo held a book in his hand, and Qian Chao took a look at the results, and all the records were the process of his sword and armor examination, and it was the same as what Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Fang said, so he took the pen and wrote his name and handed the book back to Xu Bo.
"Well, Senior Brother Qian's writing is really beautiful!" Xu Bo took the book, looked at it, and praised it rarely.
Xu Bo put away the book and said to Fang Yan, "Senior Brother Fang, it's your turn." ”
"Hmm" Fang Yan became serious at this time, not only him, but everyone in the hall became serious.
Fang Yan opened a secret compartment in the hall, and what was placed in it was also a book, but he didn't take it out, but said solemnly to this Qian Chao: "Senior Brother Qian, the names of the ancestors who founded our inner hall of Chengqi Hall and the names of many predecessors are recorded in this book, our inner hall doesn't pay attention to any red tape, you come to salute the ancestors and seniors." ”
After hearing this, Qian Chao bowed to the book in the dark compartment, and the rest of the people also bowed to the book.
After the ceremony, Fang Yan closed the dark compartment and took out a small black wooden box, after opening it, there was only a small round silver-white sign on the black satin inside, and there was a small hole on it.
That's exactly what the disciples of the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall are wearing.
"Senior Brother Qian," Senior Brother Fang picked up the small sign and said to him solemnly, "This is the sign of our inner hall, one piece for each person in the inner hall, after wearing it, others will know that you are a disciple of the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall." It is important to know that the art of alchemy is extremely numerous, easy to get started, but difficult to master! For us, entering the inner hall is just opening a door, don't think that entering the inner hall your alchemy skills will reach the peak, far behind! You know, when you open this door, you can see what is called a high mountain and a long road, and what is called a mountain outside the mountain. I also hope that Senior Brother Qian will not be arrogant or impatient in the future, devote himself to practicing the art of refining, and carry forward the reputation of our inner hall. ”
After speaking, Senior Brother Fang Yan ordered Qian Chao to take off his master's jade pendant, and he took off the Chengqitang brand made of green copper on the silk, replaced the brand of the inner hall, and then let Qian Chao wear it well.
Senior Brother Xu Bo said on the side: "You can ask if there is anything in the future, and if you have any troubles, you can also talk about it, as long as you don't take care of the loss, we can make decisions for you and don't let you be bullied." Our Chengqi Hall is also well-known in the sect, do you understand? ”
"Yes, thank you, brother."
"Well, you keep this" Xu Bo handed Qian Chao another thing, a chisel-like small chapter in a small wooden box, similar to the one that Senior Brother Fang used when he identified the spirit sword for Qian Chao, "You are still cultivating and refining qi now, and you will not be qualified to identify spiritual weapons for others until you build the foundation, but you can engrave your own name on the spiritual weapon you refine yourself, so you don't need other senior brothers to identify this step for you." The pattern of your chisel seal has been kept in our inner hall, and others can't counterfeit it. ”
"Yes"
This little ceremony ended here, and it was another salute to thank and send off the ten senior brothers.
Touching the small sign on the jade tape, Qian Chao was both excited and happy in his heart, the hard work of these days has finally paid off, the small brand is bright and cool, everyone has those senior brothers just now, so that Qian Chao has a sense of belonging.
Xu Bo didn't like to talk, so Fang Yan said to Qian Chao: "Senior Brother Qian, you will be a disciple of our inner hall in the future, and you already know the rules in this inner hall, so I won't say much, don't violate it." The benefits of this inner hall, I'm going to talk to you. ”
"Senior Brother Fang, please speak"
Fang Yan told Qian Chao all the conveniences of the inner hall disciples. Among them, what Qian Chao cares about the most is that since he became a disciple of this inner hall, he has a discount for purchasing materials from the inner hall. There is also the books in the inner hall that are also open to him, but not all of them are open, and the inner hall has "ten cabinets of books", of which nine cabinets of books can be read at will, and the last cabinet of books will be spent on spiritual stones if you want to see them, but Qian Chao also knows that with his own cultivation, these nine cabinets of books are enough to read for a long time.
When Qian Chao left, he also asked if there was still spirit worm mud in the inner hall, but this kind of material was also lost in the inner hall, but Senior Brother Xu told him that the Dan furnace did not have to add this material, and there were many alternatives, and after speaking, he took out a book from the bookcase and gave it to Qian Chao for him to see for himself.
Since entering this inner hall, Qian Chao's eyes have been opened, and his knowledge has been much deeper, and many unrealistic ideas have been abandoned by him one by one, such as the kind of method that can break through the limit of only six runes engraved with the green copper spirit sword seen in a book on the second floor of the library building, and after entering the inner door, he knew that the method is to draw on the "method of layer refining" of refining magic weapons, and the auxiliary materials used in this method are much more expensive than the green copper as the main material, so that the refining tool is actually not beneficial, and it seems that you should pay more attention to it when reading books in the future, to distinguish the true from the false.
After figuring it out, Qian Chao no longer paid attention to these, and just focused on building the foundation of his alchemy. However, the book "Lihuo Technique" he got from Sister Yan was not bad, and after he studied it, he found that the techniques in it could also be used when refining the Dan Furnace.
