In the Chengqi Hall, since he had made up his mind to get a piece of armor for everyone to wear, Qian Chao planned to complete the refining of Senior Brother Cheng as soon as possible.

At this time, there are already a lot of people in the Chengqi Hall, and the reason why Qian Chao likes to stay here is that in addition to being able to refine weapons here, but also because there are many people here, there are many people who speak, so all kinds of interesting and useful things can also be heard, and some things inside and outside the general can also have an understanding.

However, most of what the people in the Chengqi Hall said today was related to the accidental death of Senior Brother Xun outside the sect.

Qian Chao could know through other people's talk that this Senior Brother Xun he didn't know was a very popular person, and he found that everyone who talked about Senior Brother Xun sighed, and then felt extremely regretful, or his face was heavy or silent. There are also some people who talk about the benefits that Senior Brother Xun has given them, and some of them can't help crying when they talk about their emotions.

From the people of Qian Chao, I learned that when this Senior Brother Xun went out, the three of them went out together, and I heard from the person who fled back to deliver the letter that everything was going well, but then the accident happened in a place called Guan Xikou outside the sect, where the two rivers meet, and a lot of bamboo grows. There they came across a few good spirit grasses, and they were in danger while they were picking them.

What they encountered was the "drill bamboo wind", at that time a kind of demon insect that made the monk smell the color change, the reason why it was called the wind, because the number of this demon insect was as large as the wind when they flew, the word "drill bamboo" is not the meaning of the description, I heard those people say that in the bamboo forest near the mouth of the shrub stream, you can often see the hole that runs through the bamboo, that is, this kind of demon insect flies over the hole that hits the bamboo, knocks out a hole in the bamboo, and then flies away safely, which shows the fierceness of this demon insect.

However, the most frightening thing about this kind of bamboo drilling wind is their violent toxicity.

When the body of that senior brother Xun was brought back to the master's gate, it was said that the whole body was swollen but extremely hard, like a stone, and several friends of the senior brothers took out nearly a hundred stingers from him, which was really miserable.

Drilling bamboo wind, Qian Chao wrote down the name of this demon insect in his heart, and asked Tang Ping again, she may know something about this kind of demon insect, and then think about how to deal with it if she goes out and encounters a similar demon insect.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Because he made an appointment with Cheng Qiantang in advance, Qian Chao was waiting in his courtyard on this day for him to come and get the refined armor.

No, when he came to Qiantang, he didn't come alone, he also brought someone with him.

"Senior Brother Qian, come, this is Senior Brother Mo Wen. Senior Brother Mo, this is the Senior Brother Qian Chaoqian I often talk about. As soon as Cheng Qiantang came in and saw Qian Chao, he introduced the people around him to Qian Chao.

Probably also looking for his own refining armor or other spiritual weapons, Qian Chao was busy giving gifts.

"Hello Senior Brother Mo, I've met Senior Brother Mo."

Senior Brother Namo also greeted Qian Chao in return.

"Well, Senior Brother Qian, we are not in a hurry, Senior Brother Mo, you can talk about something first." Senior Brother Cheng said on the side.

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Cheng." Na Mo asked, took out a small wooden box and put it on the stone table, and said, "Senior Brother Qian, I heard Senior Brother Cheng say that your alchemy skills are superb, I have a spiritual weapon here, which was destroyed when I was in use, I want you to take a look and see if it can be repaired." ”

After speaking, Na Mo Wen opened the small wooden box.

There is a bright hairpin lying in the box, the hairpin head is made into a phoenix head, and there is a small bead flower, which is very exquisite. The elongated, needle-like hairpin collar was disconnected from the middle, and both parts were inside the box.

Qian Chao looked at the hairpin, but the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became, he looked up at Na Mo and asked, "I'm going to take it out and take a look." ”

"Of course."

Taking out the hairpin, Qian Chao looked at it carefully, in fact, he quickly judged it, but he couldn't figure out what Mo was going to do with this thing. In order to see carefully, Qian Chao also held up the two hairpins to look at the sun, and then looked at the sun with his back, and when he was carrying the sun, he turned his back to the two people, so that these two people could not see the flashing blue light in his eyes, which had already used the blue eye technique at this time.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Mo, I can't fix this thing."

Mo asked, a little surprised and a little dissatisfied, he glanced at Cheng Qiantang, you must know that this Senior Brother Cheng can talk about Qian Chao's alchemy in front of him.

Cheng Qiantang's face was also a little ugly.

"Why is this, can't it be repaired with the ability of Senior Brother Qian?" This was asked by Cheng Qiantang.

"Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Mo, this thing is not a spiritual weapon, but a magic weapon......"

"Nonsense......" Qian Chao was interrupted by Senior Brother Namo as soon as he said this, "This is obviously a spiritual weapon, how can it be said to be a magic weapon, I have seen her use it more than once, could it be that the Qi refining disciples can also use the magic weapons of the Zhuji Senior Brothers?" ”

"Senior Brother Mo, please be calm and don't be impatient, please listen to me," Qian Chao said and picked up the two hairpins and showed them to Mowen, "Senior Brother Mo, please look, if you look at the cross-section of the fracture of this hairpin, you can obviously see that this is refined using the layered refining method of refining magic weapons, and the spirit weapon cannot be used for so many layers." ”

After Na Mo Wen and Cheng Qiantang saw it clearly, Qian Chao put the two hairpins together again and showed them again.

"Two senior brothers, look at it again, what does this fracture look like?"

"This ......"

Neither of them could make out the circle at the point of the fracture like a strange circle around the hairpin, and the crack was on that circle.

"This is the soul interception method in the alchemy technique, this circle is actually made of very small runes, of course, we can't use high-level magic weapons for the cultivation of qi refining disciples, but if the magic weapon is treated like this, it is like downgrading this magic weapon into a spiritual weapon, although it still retains a little bit of the power of the magic weapon, but the qi refining disciples can almost use it, and the power of the ordinary spiritual weapon is much greater. However, the Soul Interception Method also has a disadvantage to this magic weapon, that is, ......"

Speaking of this, Qian Chao divided his hands and pinched a piece of broken hairpin.

"Prone to breakage."

After speaking, Qian Chao put the two hairpins back into the small wooden box.

"But to repair it, the difficulty is still equivalent to repairing a magic weapon, Senior Brother Mo, please forgive me, with my cultivation, I can't refine and repair a magic weapon."

As he spoke, he pushed the small wooden box towards Mo Wen.

After listening to Qian Chao's words, Cheng Qiantang took out the two hairpins from the wooden box and put them in front of him to take a closer look, although his alchemy skills are not as good as Qian Chao now, but he has stayed in Jiuxuan longer than Qian Chao, and he has seen and experienced more than Qian Chao, so after taking a closer look, he put it back in the wooden box, nodded and said to Senior Brother Na Mo: "Senior Brother Qian is right, this hairpin is indeed a magic weapon." ”

Brother Na Mo asked his face to be white and red at this time, when he was white, his face was extremely decadent, but when he was red, he seemed to be very excited, standing in front of the stone table and seemed to think for a while, before he grabbed the wooden box on the table, said "farewell", and then hurried out.

Cheng Qiantang didn't seem to be worried about this Senior Brother Mo when he saw it, so he said to Qian Chao, "Wait a minute, wait for me" and chased him out.

That hairpin is a magic weapon, Qian Chao will not be wrong about this, and he is not wrong about the spirit method. The style of the hairpin must have been used by a woman, which means that Senior Brother Mo came to repair the hairpin for a woman, but he didn't know that this hairpin was not a spiritual weapon but a magic weapon.

Being able to use the spirit interception method to make a magic weapon into a spiritual weapon for qi refining disciples to use, this is not something that ordinary people can afford, according to Qian Chao's estimate, that is, those elders who are knotted will be able to pamper their juniors who refine qi.

I must not know which woman from the predecessor family can make this Senior Brother Mo so fond of her, seeing that this hairpin is broken, she will put it away and find someone to fix it, and then go to please her.

Outside the door, separated by a wall, Qian Chao also heard Senior Brother Cheng's voice.

"Don't ask...... When will you wake up...... I have already let you stop this thought, don't think nonsense...... You should have seen that the man was playing tricks on you...... Magic weapons! Do you have so many spirit stones? …… Hum! Then it's up to you...... I don't have that much money......"

The intermittent Qian Chao couldn't hear it very clearly, but it seemed that Senior Brother Cheng and this Senior Brother Mo didn't have an ordinary relationship, alas, it sounded similar to what Qian Chao figured out by himself, no matter what, anyway, this magic weapon can't be repaired by itself, let's wait for Senior Brother Cheng to come in later.

After a while, Senior Brother Cheng returned to Qian Chao's small courtyard, and he could see that there was still a trace of anger on his face, he walked straight to the stone table and sat down, and lowered his head and thought for a while.

When Qian Chao saw it, he also sat opposite Senior Brother Cheng, took the teapot and teacup, and poured a cup of tea for Senior Brother Cheng.

"Hey! Don't ask for this! Senior Brother Cheng raised his head and looked at Qian Chao, "Senior Brother Qian, it was Senior Brother who caused you trouble today, I didn't know that he brought a magic weapon, if I could have known earlier, I would have persuaded him a long time ago." ”

"It's okay, Senior Brother Cheng, speaking of which, today is also the first time I've ever used a magic weapon. However, this Senior Brother Mo ...... Senior Brother Cheng seems to have a lot of relationship with him? ”

"Well, don't ask about this, speaking of which, we still have some kinship, our two families are married to each other, so he is actually one of my juniors, he is not bad, but his heart is a little too straight...... It's too stupid, he just can't understand some things, and he always sees some things that are so simple, and as a result, he loses one loss after another, and he doesn't know it, alas! ”

"Don't mention him, I'll try to persuade him again, who knows what else he will do."

Qian Chao nodded, then Senior Brother Mo's affairs have nothing to do with him, but Senior Brother Cheng's things are for him. He took out a wooden box and handed it over.

"Senior Brother Cheng, this is that armor, Senior Brother, take a look."

Maybe he was relieved of Qian Chao's alchemy, or maybe he was disturbed by Na Mo Wen, Senior Brother Cheng opened the wooden box and closed it again after only one glance, and said: "Senior Brother Qian refined, I am naturally relieved, I don't need to look at it." ”

Qian Chao took out a small wooden box and pushed it over.

"Senior Brother Cheng, this is also refined by me, it is not bad to use it last time, and it can protect me well when it is dangerous, and after I come back, I will refine one more and give it to Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Cheng may wish to give it a try, if you use it smoothly, you can also have more guarantees outside."

"Oh?" When Senior Brother Cheng heard this, he became curious, reached out and opened the small wooden box, and saw that inside was a small sign as black as a tortoise shell.

"It's ...... Shields? He guessed and asked Qian Chao.

"Exactly."

In this cultivation world, it is very common to have spiritual weapons and magic weapons that can hurt people such as spirit swords, but armor used to protect monks is not common because of the complexity of refining and the use of many materials, Qian Chao is because he has a good hand in alchemy, so he has armor and shields, but most of the ordinary disciples rely on the spirit sword in their hands and some of their own spells when they go out, just to eliminate the danger before they are injured. But if these disciples can get a piece of armor, they will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, not to mention having armor on their bodies and a shield that can be used to protect themselves.

Senior Brother Cheng is a disciple of the middle level of Qi refining, after taking out that shield, he tried it with the Imperial Technique, and it didn't take much effort to understand the beauty of this shield, this shield is not only sent and received from the heart but also extremely tenacious, if you encounter any difficult demon beasts outside, you can really give yourself a little more self-preservation.

At this time, the gloomy color on his face that was caused by the previous disturbance of Mo Wen's matter was swept away, and he couldn't put it down, and he took the shield back in his hand and looked at it.

"Thank you Senior Brother Qian," Senior Brother Cheng said gratefully, he knew that since this thing was given by Senior Brother Qian on his own initiative, it must have been given to himself, "With it, there will be more peace of mind outside." ”

"Well, a few days ago, alas, the matter of Senior Brother Xun made me feel uneasy, oh, I said this, Senior Brother Cheng, don't think about it, I just think that there is still some danger outside, and the people we are close to naturally need more protection outside."

Hearing Qian Chao say this, Senior Brother Cheng smiled, he didn't care about this.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xun is indeed a pity, three people went out, only one came back, Senior Brother Xun still found the body, the other senior brother, not even a corpse was found, alas!"

"I haven't dealt with that Senior Brother Xun, but listening to the discussions of the senior brothers in Chengqi Hall, this Senior Brother Xun is a good person, and many people feel sorry for him."

"Yes, Senior Brother Xun is indeed a good person, he is not a master of our refining weapons, but specializes in the Five Elements Spell, so he rarely shows up in the Chengqi Hall, speaking of which, I have only dealt with Senior Brother Xun a few times, well, he has helped me out. However, I still have many doubts when I hear about Senior Brother Xun's death, and I heard that the seniors of the sect are already investigating. ”

"What! Doubt...... Don't? ”

"Well, Senior Brother Xun has a mentorship in the end, his master is Elder Jin Rong of our master's sect, how can Elder Jin let his apprentice die in an unknown way, it is said that Elder Jin has seen some clues, and has already let several of his apprentices go to investigate, but I don't know how the investigation is, alas, if this is really the case, the evil person will definitely not have a good end."

Qian Chao nodded when he heard this, and he didn't know what news he would hear in the future.

Thinking of this, Qian Chao thought of Senior Brother Wu Wei's late night visit that night, so he wanted to inquire if there were any festivals between Senior Brother Wu Wei and Senior Brother Luan Xiuzhang.

"There is one more thing I want to ask Senior Brother Cheng as well."

"Brother, let's talk about it."

"There is a Senior Brother Wu Wei in Chengqi Hall, is Senior Brother Cheng familiar with him?"

"Senior Brother Wu Wei, of course I know and have dealt with each other, but I can't talk about acquaintance, Senior Brother Qian, what's wrong with Senior Brother Wu Wei?"

Qian Chao told the quarrel between Senior Brother Wu Wei and Senior Brother Luan Xiuzhang that day and the visit of Senior Brother Wu Wei that night, but he didn't say that those map fragments were taken and burned by himself.

After hearing this, Senior Brother Cheng rubbed the shield in his hand and looked down in thought.

"Speaking of which, this Senior Brother Wu Wei and Senior Brother Luan Xiuzhang, the two of them entered the sect earlier than me, and their cultivation is deeper than mine, but I have been in the sect for many years, and these two senior brothers have never heard of any discord or hatred between them, and besides, the reputation of these two senior brothers is also good, and I have never heard of what they have done to deceive people and deceive people, alas, I don't understand what you said. After that day, did Senior Brother Wu come to you again? ”

"No, I met it later in Chengqi Hall, and Senior Brother Wu never mentioned it again."

"Well, that must be Senior Brother Wu's mistake, and you don't have to take it to heart, huh...... I remember, I don't know when it was said when I was chatting, that Senior Brother Wu is said to have entered the sect when he didn't come alone, he also has a brother, it seems that he is not a brother, but a cousin, but the two seem to be very affectionate, Senior Brother Wu's brother was in danger when he went out later, and he couldn't come back, it is said that Senior Brother Wu was sad about this matter for a long time, and it seems that they have changed like a person, but that was a long time ago, And his brother didn't go out with Senior Brother Luan, alas, who can tell these things clearly. ”

"However," Senior Brother Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Qian Chao when he said this, "Senior Brother Qian, that Senior Brother Wu, it was a Jiazi time earlier than your group of juniors, some of our Qi refining disciples within the Jiuxuan are more than two Jiazi, so many people get together, huddle together, and after such a long time, whoever is not in line with whom will have a discord or something, and it is inevitable to hate after a long time." People who look at harmony on weekdays, maybe they may be using their hearts and tricks to calculate others behind their backs, which is also inevitable, those senior brothers' things, don't get involved, just do your own things enough, understand? ”

"Senior brother, don't worry," Qian Chao said, "I wrote it down." ”

"Hmm"

"However, Senior Brother Cheng, I still have a curiosity."

"What is it?"

"Treasure map, oh, it's not Senior Brother Wu's, I can go out now, and I've heard some things about the treasure map, speaking of which, there are also senior brothers looking for me to sell it, I'm just curious, where did they get those maps, since they can find treasures according to the map, then why don't they go there to take those good things?"

"Humph! Those are the ones! Most of them are deceptive things, ah" As he spoke, Senior Brother Cheng took out a few pieces of paper from his storage bag, "I've also been to it a few times, look, I've been to these maps, well, don't say I didn't find anything there, but the things I found are compared to the spirit stones I bought for this map...... It's a loss anyway. ”

Qian Chao curiously picked up the maps and looked at them.

"The origin of these maps, it's also simple, for example, I, go out once, find a place outside, there are some spirit grass or something, but they are not enough color, year, I will draw a map there, it is estimated that after a while the spirit grass there should be about the same, I am too lazy to go, so I will sell this map to you, of course, I must have said to you when I sell it, coax you to take out more spirit stones."

"Well, there is another kind, that is, a junior brother like you, who has cultivated like you, found some places guarded by powerful demon beasts outside, and you or a few of you can't deal with it, but you are not reconciled, so you also draw it down and find some senior brothers with advanced cultivation to sell, although you can't take away the things inside, but it's not a loss, isn't it?"

"There is a third kind, but there are some rumors, it is said that there are some senior brothers," Speaking of this, Senior Brother Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Qian Chao, "Those are all intelligent and abnormal people, they have the ability to see some clues from the words in the senior brothers' discussion or the books in the library, plus their own intelligence, in turn to speculate where there are likely to be treasures, but those senior brothers don't sell any maps, and they probably have a number in their hearts and then go to find it themselves, even if they also draw maps, they don't sell them, Well, it's written in the book with a smug face. ”

"Senior Brother Qian, you don't have to pay attention to any treasure maps, and then you can only do some errands near the sect when you go out, who knows the authenticity of those maps, or if you go to the empty space, or if there is any danger that you can't deal with, it's better to be safe."

"Senior brother, don't worry, I understand."
