Chapter Forty-Eight: Meet Ling'er Again
This scene is something that middle-aged people would never have imagined. It seems that this is providence.
"The disciple visits the master. Xiao Che was not stupid, he was busy worshipping the teacher again, and this time the middle-aged man gladly accepted.
"Xiao Yuan, you will be my disciple of Qing Xuance in the future. As he spoke, the middle-aged man reported his name.
However, Xiao Che pondered for a moment, thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and decided to tell his true identity, he didn't want any twists and turns in the future. He also wanted to know why the royal family would hunt him down for the title of God of Fighting.
The Qingxuan family has such a close relationship with the royal family, so there must be some reasons for it. At that moment, he decided to give everything and everything.
"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship again. There is one thing that the apprentice does not want to hide from the master. Actually, I am not who I really am now. And my name is Xiao Che. Saying that, under the gaze of the middle-aged man, Xiao Che ran "God Devouring Decision" to restore his original appearance.
I saw a young man who was much taller and more handsome than before appearing in front of the middle-aged man like this. Then he told everything about it.
At this time, Xiao Che was also very worried in his heart, he was afraid that Qing Xuance would no longer accept him as a disciple. didn't even help him refine the natal spirit weapon. However, Xiao Che didn't want to face this teacher who really loved him from the bottom of his heart with deception. This will make him feel guilty and even breed demons. It is also detrimental to his practice.
After listening to Xiao Che's story, Qing Xuance had a calm expression. There were no waves. finally said: "Xiao Che, you are my apprentice, no one can change this." ”
This made Xiao Che very moved in his heart.
"Hmph, those guys in the royal family are getting more and more pedantic, and if they continue like this, they will decline sooner or later. "Knowing that the royal family was chasing and killing Xiao Che because of the title of fighting god, Qing Xuance was also very dissatisfied. It seemed that he knew something, but he didn't tell him as Xiao Che wanted, and it seemed that he didn't want to say anything more about it.
Just told Xiao Che that there was no need to be afraid of these things, as long as his alchemy skills reached his level, the royal family would never continue to chase and kill, and would try his best to win them over. This made Xiao Che understand that as long as he had enough value, even the royal family could not take it lightly. If he now has a cultivation and alchemy like Qing Xuance, even if he doesn't have any family background, the royal family will try his best to win him over instead of being like now.
This made Xiao Che more and more eager for strength. The Supreme Realm is too far away, and the most reliable thing at the moment is that he can make a difference in refining weapons, and it is the right way to successfully break through the Venerable Realm first.
After apprenticing, Qing Xuance's attitude towards Xiao Che was significantly different from before. The words are more casual, but the attitude is more severe. Xiao Che likes this feeling very much, this is definitely not because Xiao Che has masochistic tendencies. It's that he understands that this is what Qing Xuance really does for him.
On this day, Xiao Che took out the Spirit Devouring Sword and practiced the "Haoran Righteous Qi Sword Technique" for Qing Xuance to see. Seeing the Spirit Devouring Sword in Xiao Che's hand, he immediately stopped Xiao Che. Because he saw that although the Spirit Devouring Sword was only the most ordinary spirit sword, it had a faint close connection with Xiao Che. Hearing Xiao Che say that this sword was refined by himself, Qing Xuance's expression was extremely exciting.
This made Xiao Che startled. Xiao Che didn't understand what that meant. Qing Xuance still didn't come out in shock. But soon he was back to normal. This kid has too many surprises for himself. I can't even catch it.
Next, he cleared his throat and said to Xiao Che: "Che'er, I originally planned to refine the natal spirit weapon for you in the next few days, but now it seems that it is no longer needed. This short sword of yours already has the rudiments of the Natal Spirit Sword. Just give spirituality is a natal spirit sword that is most suitable for you. Qing Xuance's next words surprised Xiao Che.
This made the spirit sword that he had successfully refined for the first time turned out to be the prototype of the natal spirit sword. At the beginning, in order to refine the Spirit Devouring Sword, Xiao Che used "God Devouring Decision" as the basis, and used his essence blood as an introduction and good luck to refine it successfully.
"But Master, this sword is only refined with ordinary materials, if you encounter a spirit sword of the level of Zihong, it will be very fragile, right?" Xiao Che thought that he was limited by the materials at the beginning, although he had successfully refined the Spirit Devouring Sword, but when he thought of the Purple Rainbow Sword with great spirituality in Zi Wuji's hand, Xiao Che was completely disconfident.
If you fight with someone one day, if the other party takes out a spirit weapon of Zihong's level, wouldn't this Spirit Devouring Sword be easily broken when fighting with it.
"Many people think that the more precious the materials needed for refining, the better. This is not the case. In fact, as long as the proportion of materials is properly matched, the best spiritual weapon can be refined. Historically, there have also been artifacts made from ordinary materials. Above the Supreme Realm martial artist is the god level. If you can advance to the god level, you can leave this world and go to the god realm. That's beyond the mundane. And what they used was not a spiritual weapon, but an artifact. Listening to Qing Xuance's narration, I realized that I was a frog at the bottom of the well.
It's not that he hasn't thought about what realm is above the Supreme Realm. But I never thought it would be god-level. This made Xiao Che couldn't help but exclaim.
"Actually, you've seen artifacts too. Qing Xuance's words made Xiao Che even more confused. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out when I had seen the artifact.
"That giant refining furnace is a true artifact. Those five small refining furnaces with the attributes of the five elements were quasi-artifacts. The reason why the giant refining furnace was what it was was because no one could recognize it. Even I was able to borrow it, not fully approve of it. If someone can confess it, it can change in size at will. Qing Xuance's words made Xiao Che stunned.
The information Xiao Che got today was far beyond his cognition, but under Qing Xuance's explanation, he could easily accept it, after all, he had "Senluo Wanxiang" in his hand, and his vision and knowledge were far beyond ordinary people. Let him be more tolerant.
"You should know that judging the quality of a spiritual weapon is not based on the material and power of the spiritual weapon, but on the strength of the spiritual weapon. The artifact, on the other hand, already has its own consciousness and is even able to communicate with its owner's mind. Hearing this, Xiao Che suddenly realized.
"I have a refining method called Soul Fu, which is also the reason why I have a very high success rate in refining spiritual weapons. This method was not created by me, but the cultivation treasure of the refiner left by the ancestor dragon man Qing Xuan. Since you have such a high talent in the refining department, I will give it to you now, and it is up to you how much you can comprehend. "Saying that Qing Xuance is to pass on the method of empowering the spirit to Xiao Che.
Not only that, but he also personally refined a spiritual weapon for Xiao Che to demonstrate. With Qing Xuance's detailed explanation, Xiao Che also entered the refining cultivation stage.
In the past few days, Xiao Che has almost not eaten or drunk, and has been comprehending "Fu Ling Decision". It's just a little bit of a superficial understanding. But Xiao Che's success rate in refining weapons has really increased a lot in the past few days. This made him very happy.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. In the past month, Xiao Che has not felt the passage of time at all. Ever since he received the "Spiritual Decision" taught by Qing Xuance, he has been in a state of retreat and comprehension. I saw Xiao Che occasionally closing his eyes and thinking, occasionally walking around in the underground secret room, occasionally picking up some refining materials and starting to refine, the speed and success rate were much stronger than before. And what Xiao Che did seemed to be an unconscious act.
Tianqing Xuan Ce has been here these days, and seeing Xiao Che's state made him dumbfounded. He knew that Xiao Che had achieved great transformation. Entered a strange state of enlightenment. This is what all martial artists dream of. However, generally speaking, only a very small number of extremely talented martial artists can enter this state when they are extremely lucky. In this state, the martial artist's comprehension ability soared, even pointing straight to the Great Dao. Hence the name "enlightenment".
No one knows how to get into this state, it can only be left to chance. And now Xiao Che is in this state. This made Qing Xuance very envious, and even a little jealous.
However, Xiao Che is his disciple, and the better Xiao Che's talent, the happier Qing Xuance is. After all, he is not a selfish and narrow-minded person. Today, Xiao Che finally stopped this state of "enlightenment".
"Ah, Master, what's going on?" Seeing a large pile of refined spiritual weapons beside him, Xiao Che suddenly exclaimed. In his perception, it had only been a short time. Why are there so many more spiritual weapons around, looking at the appearance of those spiritual weapons, it is clear that they have just been refined. This surprised Xiao Che. It can't be refined by Master, this is too powerful.
"Che'er, you, you really don't know anything? You've been here for a month, you have refined all these things, and you don't even know anything?" Qing Xuance was also speechless for a while at Xiao Che's words. It seems that this kid has no idea what amazing things have happened to him.
"Ah, it's been more than a month? But in my consciousness it has been half a day at most. Master, you said, "This, I have refined these things?" Hearing Qing Xuance say this, Xiao Che was also incredulous.
"Che'er, you have comprehended the 'Soul Decision' before, and you have entered a peculiar state of 'enlightenment'. It seems that your refining tools are all unconscious behaviors, but your refining tools now should be much higher than the previous level. Let's try it after eating something?" said Qing Xuance and took out some food that was a big supplement.
I haven't eaten for a month, even for a martial artist like Xiao Che, I have a strong sense of hunger, just now because I just came out of that state, I didn't feel anything, and I was indeed a little hungry when I heard Qing Xuance say it at this time. So he dined with Qing Xuance.
For ordinary people, they can't eat a lot after being hungry, but for a martial artist like Xiao Che, there is no such thing. Food is also energy, as long as you run the "Devouring God" exercise while eating, absorb the energy in it, and get rid of the impurities in the food, it is easy to return the body to the best state. The reason why the Heaven Realm martial artist can starve for a month and still survive is also because the body is subconsciously absorbing energy supplements. It's just that it doesn't absorb as fast as it eats. But it can also sustain life for a long time.
The higher the cultivation, the more energy the body needs. When they reached the Supreme Realm cultivation like Qing Xuance, ordinary food could no longer bring them enough energy. They need to eat something called spiritual food. Spiritual food, simply put, is an ingredient with spirituality. For example, demon beast meat, such as spiritual rice, spiritual wheat, etc.
All the food hidden in Qing Xuance's underground secret room is spiritual food. This allowed Xiao Che to quickly recover from the fatigue caused by hunger.
After eating, Xiao Che opened the furnace and refining the furnace again, as Qing Xuance said. At this time, he was using a fire-attribute refining furnace, and he wanted to refine a fire-attribute necklace spiritual weapon. This also came up suddenly. This fire attribute necklace spirit weapon was found from a pile of refining books in Qing Xuance. He just used it to practice his hands.
I saw Xiao Che running the exercises and opening the fire attribute refining furnace. I only heard the sound of the clang, and with the injection of spiritual power, the refining furnace rose into a raging fire. Xiao Che was busy controlling the intensity of the flames to make them gentle. Soon, the flames in the refining furnace softened, and I saw Xiao Che's fingertips beating, and the fire in the furnace moved with it. After controlling the flames through a series of techniques, Xiao Che quickly threw the materials into it in batches.
I saw that with the injection of each material in the furnace, Xiao Che's flame intensity also changed. This made Qing Xuance praise again and again from the sidelines. I saw that with the change of Xiao Che's technique, the materials that were put into the furnace were refined by the furnace fire more exquisitely. Those impurities had already been eliminated with each of Xiao Che's finger beats. All that's left behind is the essence of what you need.
Soon, when all the impurities in the material were removed, I saw Xiao Che's hands move quickly, and as Xiao Che's hands moved quickly, I saw that the flames in the furnace were getting stronger and stronger, and the materials in them began to gradually merge with the flames. It didn't take long for it to become a necklace.
Under Xiao Che's guidance, the degree of flames began to be reduced or aggravated in a targeted manner. It didn't take long for a beautiful necklace to appear in the furnace. I saw Xiao Che's expression again, at this time all his energy was on this necklace, and then he was going to carry out the last step of refining the weapon, that is, to endow the spirit. Now the necklace already has a fire attribute breath, and then Xiao Che only needs to give it spirituality with this fire attribute breath with "Soul Decision", and then a spiritual weapon will be successfully completed.
I saw Xiao Che's mind move, and a spiritual power that could not be seen or touched was rushing towards the furnace like lightning, and the next moment, I saw the fire attribute in the necklace trembling, but with a few breaths, there was a unique spirituality.
Immediately, Xiao Che stopped pouring spiritual power into the refining furnace. The fire in the furnace was quickly extinguished, and I saw one of the fiery red necklace spirit weapons fly out of the furnace and was grabbed by Xiao Che. And this spiritual weapon seemed to be conscious, surrounded by Xiao Che's hands, as if it was like a baby seeing its parents.
Xiao Che handed it to Qing Xuance. I saw Qing Xuan Ce pouring a fire attribute technique into it, and I saw that the red light of the necklace suddenly became more dazzling, and a flame whip came out of it strangely. Under Qing Xuance's control, the flame whip danced rapidly in the underground secret room, only to hear the snorting sound in the air where the whip danced, and every time the whip shadow slashed, it could leave a trace of flame in the air. This made Xiao Che marvel again and again.
Although it is because Qing Xuance's cultivation is extremely high, the power of this whip should not be underestimated. After a while, Qing Xuance stopped infusing the necklace with spiritual power, only to see the flame whip quickly rush back into the necklace and disappear. Looking at Qing Xuance's expression, he was very satisfied with Xiao Che's refining this time.
"That's right, this chain has reached the level of a high-level spiritual weapon. Qing Xuance's words made Xiao Che overjoyed.
Spiritual weapons are generally divided into mortal-level spiritual weapons and heaven-level spiritual weapons. The vast majority of martial artists have mortal-level spiritual weapons in their hands. And mortal-level spiritual weapons are divided into primary, intermediate, and high-level spiritual weapons. Heaven-level spiritual weapons are very rare. Each one is extraordinarily precious. There is also a holy weapon on top of the heaven-level spiritual weapon. For example, the Purple Rainbow Sword in Zi Wuji's hand is a holy weapon, and the power of the holy weapon is so great that the whole continent can't find much. Above the holy weapon is the artifact. That's not part of this world anymore.
The refiners corresponding to mortal-level, heaven-level, and saint-level spiritual weapons are called refining masters, refining masters, and refining saints.
In the entire Qingxuan Empire, there was only one refining saint master, Qingxuance. There are also not a few refining saints in the whole continent. For most martial artists, it is rare to see a master of refining weapons, let alone a refining master and a refining saint master. Therefore, their title of refiner is unified as Master Refiner.
A refiner of Qing Xuance's level didn't care about these false names for a long time. All he had to do was hope that one day he would be able to refine an artifact. No one can refine an artifact in a mortal body, and if he can do it, he will become the greatest refiner in history. This is Qing Xuance's goal in life.
He didn't even know if he could achieve it. But now, he found Xiao Che who was more talented than him. In his heart, he also had great expectations for Xiao Che.
If others knew what Qing Xuance was thinking, they were afraid that they would think he was a madman. Only a madman would challenge the impossible.
Refining the fire attribute necklace, Xiao Che is now a veritable intermediate refining master. This identity is outside, and it can definitely attract many martial artists to follow. The wealth of an intermediate cultivator is also a lot. In the entire continent, the alchemist is the richest profession.
It's too hard to become a refiner. This has less to do with human diligence, more importantly with talent and luck.
If you don't have good talent, you can't even enter the threshold, and even if you have good talent, you won't be able to go far without the guidance of a famous teacher. The two are indispensable, which leads to the extremely rare refiners in the entire continent.
Xiao Che and Qing Xuance finally came out of the underground secret room. The underground vault is just below the blacksmith's shop. Xiao Che stood at the door of the blacksmith shop, watching the crowd passing by, breathing the air on the street. I immediately felt refreshed. People, sure enough, still need some popularity. Even people like Xiao Che who like to be alone are no exception.
At this time, a girl was bouncing in from outside.
"Hey, you, are you Xiao Che?" Hearing the girl's voice, Xiao Che was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he remembered that he hadn't changed back after recovering his appearance. made him suddenly break out in a cold sweat.
"You, you are Ling'er. Then Xiao Che seemed to see something incredible. When he looked up at the girl, he even suspected that he had seen it wrong. This girl is none other than the girl Ling'er who has met before.
