Chapter 17: Entrustment
Under the guidance of Zhao Cheng, Ye Bai kept hammering and forging the black iron steel in front of him, and under the priority of hundreds of times, it also made his arms sore and painful.
But he didn't stop, he cherished this feeling of constantly enriching himself, in the past, he had to endure humiliation even if he learned some basic exercises, but now that he has such a good opportunity, he naturally can't miss it, Ye Bai is like a sponge to greedily absorb all the water.
His persistence was also seen by Zhao Cheng, if he couldn't even endure this little hardship, he couldn't waste time teaching, Ye Bai made him very satisfied.
"Stop."
Zhao Cheng shook his hand to signal him to stop, and then pointed to the black iron steel in front of him who was constantly calcined and beaten by him and said:
"Let's take a look at your refined piece of black iron steel first, what's the difference between it and mine?"
He picked up the material and looked at it carefully, and found that there was no way to compare it with the purity of the luster or the integrity of the iron essence.
The potholes and unevenness that he built. And the teacher's piece is a neat and smooth rectangle.
When Ye Bai told these shortcomings, he wanted to listen to the teacher's opinion and turned his head to look at Zhao Cheng.
"There is also the stability of the whole piece of material, which determines whether the weapon will break during the forging process, but you can beat him out for the first time, this persistence is still worthy of recognition."
Zhao Cheng patted him on the shoulder for affirmation, and then took out a bottle of ointment and told him to apply it to his sore shoulder.
Ye Bai took the bottle, took out the plaster and smeared it on his shoulder, and a cool feeling covered the application of the plaster.
"Teacher, what is this? How do you feel better than pills. ”
Facing his question, Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "This is snow spirit mud, the formula is not sold outside, this is a good thing passed down from the ancestors, it can quickly relieve physical fatigue and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy." ”
"It's really a good thing, my sore arm can clearly feel that it is recovering, and the aura consumed by the Divine Forging Hundred Styles is also slowly recovering."
Ye Bai shook his shoulders, and felt that his shoulders were almost better under Zhao Cheng's preaching, Zhao Cheng pulled him to the refining furnace and taught him the landing point of each hammer.
With Zhao Cheng's teaching, he is also making progress little by little with the naked eye, which also makes Zhao Cheng happy to have such a spiritual apprentice.
As time passed, he no longer knew how many pieces of material he had wasted, and when he picked up a piece of black iron steel again and skillfully put it into the furnace.
The crimson earth fire slowly smelted the material, Ye Bai took out the material that could already be shaped, and kept beating back and forth, the speed was not very fast, but it was in line with his rhythm, and when the forging was almost done, he would send it to the furnace for smelting, and then pull out this cycle, and a piece of iron essence that looked good slowly took shape.
Call~
Ye Bai also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the formed iron essence block, and it seemed that he had taken the first step.
Zhao Cheng's palm emitted a red glow, and he picked up the hot iron essence and examined it.
The dull black light is made on the surface, which is the luster that belongs to the iron essence, and the whole is not smooth, but the hundred forging patterns on it have appeared, which is barely qualified.
"Yes, it's not fine, but it's barely up to par, you're current..."
Before Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Feng Ying hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Master, a person named Xi Mengyun is looking for you, saying that he is your old acquaintance. ”
"Got it."
Zhao Cheng nodded indifferently, but he noticed that the teacher's fists clenched unconsciously, and then ordered:
"Fourth, you continue to deepen your basic practice and skillfully use the Divine Forging Hundred Styles."
After speaking, Zhao Cheng followed Feng Ying to the front, he also honestly struck iron over and over again, and he could skillfully hit the high-grade iron essence without too many skills, only familiar.
As Ye Bai kept wielding the Divine Forging Hundred Styles with his aura, he felt that the amount of auras had increased a little more if he replenished it again after consumption.
This made him beat harder, and in his rhythmic percussion, at this time, a plain and elegant woman in her thirties at the front desk of Wanlian Fang was sitting on a guest chair, and there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl dressed in gorgeous glass clothes next to her, at this time, her eyebrows and eyes were worried, and she peeked at the woman next to her from time to time.
"Mrs. Xi hasn't seen you for a long time!"
Zhao Cheng greeted him with a little entanglement, sitting opposite Xi Mengyun, she glanced at Zhao Cheng, who was sitting opposite with a polite face, and said calmly.
"Make tea."
Zhao Cheng didn't mind, he seemed to know the temper of the woman next to him, so he began to make tea skillfully, but the little girl on the side was a little restless.
"Zhao Cheng, I have something to look for you."
Xi Mengyun took advantage of Zhao Cheng's efforts to make tea and asked him, and Zhao Cheng asked without raising his head:
"What?"
"This is my daughter Xiya, I have something to do next, I can't take her with me, you help me take care of her."
Xi Mengyun took the tea handed over by Zhao Cheng, stroked Xi Ya's hair next to him and said what he meant.
Zhao Cheng didn't rush to answer, his eyes looked at Xi Ya, who was already staring at him a little cramped, and said:
"Do you have to go? You must know that this Kyushu continent is very large, and it can take her far away. ”
Zhao Cheng glanced at her, and Xi Ya next to her also looked at her longingly, as if she hoped that she would really take him far away as Zhao Cheng said.
"There are some things I have to go, otherwise it will always be endless, the only thing I have to worry about her is that I have to look for you, otherwise I don't want to disturb your peaceful life."
"I know, this girl can stay with me in peace!" Zhao Cheng took a sip of tea and responded calmly.
"Mother, I think..."
"You don't have anything to think about, stay here, my mother may come to you in two years."
Xi Ya's words were interrupted by her before she could speak, and then thanked Zhao Cheng and asked:
"I heard that you have taken in a few apprentices, call them out for me to see, it just so happens that I, as an elder, will give them some gifts, and I can also take care of Ya'er in the future."
"Oh! That's good, these boys would be happy to hear that someone was giving them a gift. ”
Then Zhao Cheng ordered Feng Ying, who was honestly standing aside, to call them over.
Ye Bai and these senior brothers came to Zhao Cheng and the others.
"This is, um..."
Zhao Cheng suddenly didn't know what to call them, or Xi Mengyun said directly and kindly:
"You just call me Aunt Yun."
Facing this kind Aunt Yun, Ye Bai immediately obediently followed a few people and shouted.
"This Aunt Yun can't let you scream in vain, you can pick one of these things by yourself."
Xi Mengyun took out something from the ring and said it was a gift for them. Ye Bai and the others were also very happy to stare at the gifts in front of them, and they gave in to each other and let each other choose first.
"Fourth, you go first, from childhood to adulthood."
Senior Brother Wankong spoke, and several people should abide by it, and everyone also wanted to see which one he picked first, Ye Bai walked straight to Xi Mengyun and called Aunt Yun affectionately, asking her to praise Ye Bai for her politeness.
In front of him was a small porcelain vase with a pattern pattern, which seemed to have an elixir, a silver armor, a mirror engraved with strange words, and a dark yellow stone.
Originally, he was going to choose any one, but the second master in his mind suddenly spoke.
"Choose that dark yellow stone, the mirror is actually not bad, but unfortunately I can't have it."
"Second master, what's the use of that stone?"
Although Ye Bai was asking the second master, he couldn't be slow, he chose the stone quickly, and a slow step was a distrust of the second master.
"This thing is a bit troublesome to explain, but to tell you simply, with this thing, you can practice a physical exercises, and I'll explain it when I go back and teach you."
After speaking, the second master hid, but Ye Bai was still looking forward to the physical exercises that the second master said.
He put away his mind and looked at the selection of several senior brothers, Feng Ying chose the silver armor, he said that this could protect the senior brothers, and Wan Ming's honesty also made everyone smile.
Wan Ming chose the mirror, and the senior brother chose the last small porcelain vase. Everyone once again thanked Aunt Yun.
"If you want to thank me, help me take care of Xiya more."
Everyone looked at the weak figure on the side, and they hurriedly agreed.
Xi Ya personally came over and politely bent down to say hello to Ye Bai and the others, and they immediately returned the salute.
She knew that once her mother decided, there was no way to change it, so she could only try to integrate into Ye Bai and them and not let her mother worry.
Xi Mengyun left very chic after settling Xi Ya.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
