Mu Xiufeng, purple bamboo forest.

Li Jian looked at the air, and two figures were flying towards him.

"Miss Yan, Brother Qian."

It was Qian Chao and Yan Xuan who came.

However, today's money tide is not as embarrassed as when it came a few days ago, and it has become the usual elegant and refreshing appearance.

"Brother Li," Yan Xuan greeted as soon as he landed, "Brother Qian brought me here, saying that he wanted to test his newly refined shield for him again." ”

"Brother Qian should find me to go to Miss Yan's place with me." Li Jian said.

"Brother Li, I thought so at first, but in the end, you are the purest and least crowded here, and no matter how much we toss for a while, we won't attract attention."

Hearing this, Li Jian was puzzled, and secretly said how much movement did Qian Chao want to toss?

Qian Chao took out a shield, which looked no different from the shield he used before in appearance, after arranging it, Qian Chao couldn't help but pat it lightly on the shield, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Xuan and Li Jian looking at him, so he smiled and said: "Alas, this thing has cost me a lot of effort, if we can pass the test today, then our armor will have to be changed." ”

Yan Xuan said: "You found us together, how do you want us to test it for you, and still don't spare your hands like last time?" ”

"That's right," Qian Chao said, then took out a spirit sword and handed it to Li Jian, "Sister Yan, Brother Li, you two are free, as long as you attack this shield without sparing." ”

Yan Xuan said, "Then I'll come first." ”

After speaking, Yan Xuan took a step forward, waved one arm, and with a "whew", a Fengling fire knife several zhang long appeared in front of the three of them.

When Yan Xuan swung his knife, Li Jian and Qian Chao, who were hiding on the side, felt that the scorching aura was getting stronger and stronger, and after a sound of "dangdang" sounded, Yan Xuan's five knives slashed fiercely on the big shield.

After collecting the knife, Yan Xuan was also curious about what the newly refined shield of the Qian brothers was, so he also followed Qian Chao and Li Jian over to take a look.

On the shield surface, there was only a shallow knife mark, and Yan Xuan's five knives were all cut there, but the shallow knife mark only proved that this place had been attacked, but the damage of these five knives to this big shield was almost negligible in Yan Xuan's opinion.

"That's amazing!" Yan Xuan was surprised: "It seems that it is much stronger than the last time." ”

Li Jian also nodded when he saw it, and said, "Okay, it's my turn now." ”

Yan Xuan hid with Qian Chao aside.

Li Jian retreated for a distance, then floated up, and his body shot straight towards the big shield with an incandescent sword light.

"Ding" with a piercing sharp sound, Li Jian's body did not land, a somersault turned back, Li Jian knew that this sword did not cause any damage to the big shield, so he stayed in the air, and when he moved forward, the sword light was even more intense.

"Ding" again!

After five swords, Li Jian stopped.

These five swords are the same as Yan Xuan's five swords, they are all stabbed in the same place.

It's just that there is only a small shallow pit on the shield that has been continuously stabbed by Li Jian, which almost does not pose any damage to this shield.

"Well, it's really a lot stronger than the shield that Brother Qian brought last time!" Li Jian looked at the shield and said.

"Brother Li," Qian Chao looked at his shield, very satisfied, but there was still a test for Li Jian to do, "Let's try again, this time I want you to change into your Qingzhu Spirit Sword, or shoot without reservation." ”

"Oh?" Li Jian was a little surprised: "Didn't you only get two runes in the hard wings of that pentropicus tapir?" ”

Li Jian still remembered that the pentographer, Qian Chao couldn't hurt it, Yan Xuan couldn't hurt it, and even Lu Pingchuan's strange power couldn't fatally hurt that guy, but his own green bamboo spirit sword could kill that guy. He expected that Qian Chao's newly refined shield would probably have something to do with the hard wings of the pentographer, so he let himself use the green bamboo spirit sword to stab, could this shield withstand it?

"Brother Li, you just have to let it go, if you can't withstand your sword, it means that there is something wrong with what I have been thinking in the past two days, and I can only find a way to modify it when I go back."

"Well, that's good." Li Jian said, handed back the spirit sword in his hand to Qian Chao, and a green bamboo branch appeared in his hand with a random grasp in his right hand.

With a slight shake of his hand, the green bamboo branch was infused by Li Jian's sword qi, and it immediately turned into a spirit sword with cold light shining in the blink of an eye.

Still standing up, Li Jian and the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand almost turned into a white meteor and shot straight towards the big shield.

"Ding" sounded, and saw Li Jian's body rushing backwards.

"Good shield!" Li Jian shouted: "Look at my sword again!" ”

After that, Li Jian's whole person rushed out again, this time halfway to the big shield, the green bamboo spirit sword in Li Jian's hand suddenly skyrocketed, and Zhang Yu's sword Miao hit the big shield straight on, and the big shield was pushed back by the sword light all the way back for a while before stopping, but Li Jian knew in his heart, and Qian Chao understood even more, this shield withstood this sword!

"Don't try again, Brother Qian, this sword just now is the strongest sword I can use now. Your shield is really good. Li Jian said.

Qian Chao put his shield in front of him and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, Li Jian used his own sword just now to leave only a shallow pit on this shield.

These days of hard work have not been in vain! Qian Chao said secretly in his heart.

"Did you come up with another idea?" Yan Xuan asked.

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for the past few days and finally have a little eyebrows, this shield has a formation that I arranged with runes, with this formation, this shield now seems to be not afraid of gold, wood and fire, well, I originally wanted to find Tang Ping's girl to help me test it, to see how her cold spell is against this shield, but when I got to her, I learned that guy was grounded by her master and aunt, so let's look for her in the future."

"Grounded?" Yan Xuan didn't know what happened to Tang Ping, but when this girl didn't know what trouble she had caused, she let her aunt be punished by her seniors.

"Formation?" Li Jian heard the key from Qian Chao's words, "Brother Qian, I don't know about refining weapons, but I remember you said before, it seems that the spirit weapons you refine are all runes, how can the formation also be used on refining weapons?" ”

Yan Xuan also asked when he heard Li Jian say this: "That's right, the formation, your Locked Spirit Array and the Hidden Spirit Array are formations, but they all use several spiritual weapons to arrange a formation, how can this formation still get a spiritual weapon?" ”

"Yes," Qian Chao said, "There is a natural formation on the hard wings of the Pentographer, I only saw the two runes in it for a long time, but I ignored that it was actually a formation, and then I finally figured it out, so I tried to refine this shield." ”

"I remember that tapir didn't cut wood? At that time, it was Brother Li's sword that could hurt that thing. Yan Xuan asked.

"It's true that the Pentographer doesn't restrain wood, but I found a rune representing 'wood' and arranged it in that formation, which can have the effect of restraining 'wood'. In my opinion, the formation in this shield is just a simple formation, if you can find or figure out a higher-level formation in the future, this shield should be stronger, and this method can also be used to refine armor, but it is just more troublesome than the previous refining method, and when we go out next time, the armor on your body should be changed, so that it is safer to go out. ”

Hearing this, Yan Xuan and Li Jian nodded.

But Qian Chao thought of something again, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"It's just that I still haven't thought of a way to deal with the evil sword, in my estimation, this shield is now facing the evil sword of that person, alas, it's a pity that I can't try it myself, I still have no bottom in my heart."

"I'm not in a hurry," Li Jian said, "We met once, and if we really meet again in the future, we won't be as flustered as the last time." Besides, where are there so many evil swords, I also talked about this with a senior a few days ago, she told me that in this cultivation world, there are many people with evil intentions, and there are still very few people who use evil swords, compared to evil swords, it is better to be more careful of those who have bad intentions when going out, after all, there are no evil swords, and wicked people always have to do evil. ”

"Well, Brother Li has a point." Yan Xuan said.

"By the way, Brother Li, I want to refine a spiritual weapon, and I need a few spiritual bamboos." Qian Chao looked at Li Jian's bamboo forest and said.

"It's all on this hillside, Brother Qian, go get it yourself."

……

Qian Chao returned to his residence, at this time his residence was no longer the messy appearance it had before, the writing and paper all over the floor had been picked up, the books that were scattered everywhere had also been put away by him, and the paper that had been plastered on the walls was gone, even the handwriting left on the white wall and even the curtain of the bed was gone, and his hut and courtyard were back to their former tidiness.

Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Qian Chao took out the shield that had been tested by Yan Xuan and Li Jian and looked at it carefully.

It's done. Qian Chao said in his heart, it really happened.

Qian Chao's understanding of alchemy this time, no, not only alchemy, but also his comprehension of the science of runes had a profound impact on him in the future.

Previously, when Qian Chao first learned alchemy, he only thought that the so-called alchemy was to melt the gold and stone materials into the embryo shape of various spiritual weapons, and then engrave runes with spiritual energy on them to become spiritual weapons.

When he didn't learn the rune technique at the beginning, Qian Chao's guess about the rune technique was to use dansha as ink, write the runes containing the laws of heaven and earth on the rune paper, and then use the runes in a certain way, which can have infinite wonderful uses.

Including the arrangement of the formation, for example, Luo Ying asked him to refine the lock spirit pile, he only thought that the layout of the formation should also be composed of a spirit weapon engraved with runes.

In the view of Qian Chao in the past, the three branches of rune science: formation, talisman and refining, are three towering mountains, standing between heaven and earth, you can see it from afar, he started to practice alchemy, after some efforts, he stood at the foot of the mountain called "refining", looking up, only to feel that the clouds and mist are bleak, the mountain road is rugged, it is difficult to climb, looking around left and right, there are two other mountains named "talisman" and "formation" hidden in the fog, the world often says "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", At this time, he didn't know how far away he was from the other two mountains and how to go. But if you want to climb high and see far, you can only start with the mountain in front of you and climb up little by little. And if you want to climb the other two mountains, you can only reach the high place of the mountain under your feet, or you can look down from above, or you can find the way to those two mountains.

But now it's different.

After Qian Chao's comprehension, the study of runes has cleared a lot of clouds and mist, allowing him to see more thoroughly, in Qian Chao's current view, the three mountains of "formation", "talisman" and "refiner" are not three lonely mountains, they are just three different peaks of a high mountain, and this mountain is called "the study of runes"!

Everything began to realize from the hard wings of the tapir.

The sturdiness of the hard wings is comparable to Qian Chao's big shield, and even Qian Chao is sure that he will change it into a spiritual weapon to use, but the two runes found in the hard wings have no effect on the refining weapon himself, which makes him distressed for a while, and then Qian Chao discovered the hidden formation in the hard wings, which is the natural formation that makes the two originally mutually exclusive runes obedient and play their own functions, after discovering this formation, Qian Chao also thought of the spiritual connection between several companions that he accidentally saw when he broke through the cultivation on Jumu Island, It seemed to be a formation, and then Qian Chao boldly speculated about whether he could make up for this formation in the position of himself and the rest of his companions, and later thought of the encounter of the five of them in the Little Lotus Lake in Youming Valley in his dream, that time in the small five spirit array, the runes on the pillars behind each person seemed to be the most basic five-element runes, and the meaning represented was the spiritual root attribute of the five people trapped in the formation at that time.

With these, Qian Chao's next step was repeated attempts, what he wanted was not only to use that formation on his shield, but also to have all the five elements of runes in that formation!

After failing again and again, he was not discouraged, revised again and again, continued to test, that formation gradually began to play a role under Qian Chao's hard thinking and attempts, he first tested himself, passed his own level, and then found Yan Xuan and Li Jian to help him test. Although Tang Ping was grounded and could not be tested, the test at least showed that this shield had strong resistance to "gold", "fire" and "wood", and at least half of it was successful.

The spirit weapon is like this, in looking back at the art of the rune, in the gizzard, Qian Chao got a few complete runes, the original mysterious runes at this time, Qian Chao can already see a few clues, although he can't grasp the subtleties, but the runes are nothing more than a red pen as a guide, dansha as ink, with a number of runes on the rune paper outlined out of a formation, no runes, can not become a formation, and no formation only runes can not become a rune.

Whether it's a simple low-level rune or a complex high-level rune, it's all the same!

Look at the rune and then look at the formation, the ordinary formation is all based on the spirit weapon to carry the rune and then arrange it according to the direction, which is very similar to making the rune, and the rune on the rune paper also has a relative position when it is written, otherwise it will not take effect. Then the monk's own aura of arranging the formation connects these runes like pen and ink to become a formation, which is similar to the rune, if it is different, it is nothing more than that the rune dissipates after use, and the spiritual weapon that arranges the circle can be used repeatedly.

At this time, Qian Chao realized that whether it was refining, talismans or formations, the most basic thing was still runes, but the materials that carried the runes and the different usages produced the three major branches of the so-called rune science!

It was also from this point in that even if Qian Chao was still inferior to many senior brothers in the inner hall in terms of alchemy, he could not refine those high-level and complex spiritual weapons, but in terms of his understanding of alchemy, he had far surpassed many senior brothers.

Not only that, but in terms of the comprehension of the spell and the talisman technique, Luo Ying and Wen Yuan are no longer as good as Qian Chao, of course, this just means that if someone is willing to teach the Qian Chao formation and the talisman, Qian Chao's progress will greatly exceed these two senior sisters, not that Qian Chao can now beat these two senior sisters in these two spells.

If you want to learn these two spells, Qian Chao still has a long way to go, even if it is the alchemy.

But Qian Chao's vision is no longer what it used to be!

The hard winged money tide of this pentropicus tapir in his hand is not ready to use it, his harvest is all because of it, and with the newly refined shield, the role of this hard wing is not great, it is better to put it in the storage bag as a souvenir.

There's still a lot to do, and now is not the time to be lazy.

(Talking to himself: This foreshadowing is finished, and it will not be so abrupt if there is anything new about Qian Chao in the future.) Originally, when I conceived this story a few years ago, I was going to write Qian Chao as the only male protagonist.,And it's also a bit of a pen to write.,But then I felt that the character was too tall and complete.,It's not easy to continue.,So I put the pen down.。 Later, after thinking about it again, I split the ability that originally belonged to Qian Chao and gave it to the other four characters, and the more characters there are, the more stories there are, and it is easy to cheat the number of words, haha! In addition, a friend of mine read this story of mine and asked me that you don't have the surname Qian, why do the protagonists have the surname Qian? Well, I'm not afraid to expose my age, at my age, at least in my mind, the surname Qian is at least a surname full of wisdom, which is consistent with the setting of Qian Chao, and the word money is gold, at least in the five elements of folklore, I set the spiritual root of Qian Chao as gold, in my conception of the story, I gave Qian Chao the weakest spiritual root, but also gave him the strongest intelligence. The story is unfolding, ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to invite you to witness the continuation of this story! ）
