Chapter 137: The Instrument Workshop
"Every year before the arrival of my First Sword Peak Instrument Cultivator, according to the usual practice, some Sect Cultivators would spontaneously organize themselves to put out some things related to refining weapons at a platform on the south side of the Fourth Order for sale. Among these things, there are materials for forging swords, tools needed to forge swords, and classics, etc. As long as there is something related to sword forging, there is a chance to encounter it there. ”
"This routine was first initiated by some of the instrumentalists of my First Sword Peak who had already passed the selection of instrumentaries. Because after they passed the Instrument Master Selection Examination, there were some things that were useless to them, so they chose to put out the things they didn't need to sell to the disciples who needed them in the year before the next Instrument Master Selection Examination. ”
"This practice has been around for hundreds of years now, and the platform for the trading of the cultivators on the fourth order has also been named 'Instrument Workshop' by the instrument cultivators of my sect. ”
"It's been less than a year since the selection of the instrument master, so there must have been a machine repair in the workshop to trade there. Although the Phantom Furnace is a rare treasure, as long as you are lucky, you can encounter it there, and even something better than the Phantom Furnace may not be possible. ”
"Moreover, on the fifteenth day of the next month, a big auction will be organized in our door. The things that will appear in the auction will be much rarer than what you would normally see in the workshop. High-grade furnaces, rare casts, and even replicas of the last few layers of the Nine-Storied Pagoda are likely to be encountered there. As long as there are enough spirit stones, fellow initiates Huan, you can go and take a look. Zhao Wei looked at Huan Yin and smiled slightly. He knew that Huan Yin had a lot of spirit stones, because Xu Yin had told him that when Huan Yin was fighting with him, he directly took out 40,000 spirit stones at the beginning, and he didn't even blink his eyes.
After that day, Huan Yin would spend half an hour every day going to the fourth order of Yijian Peak to stroll around for a while and try his luck. He really needed a magical treasure like the Furnace, so even if he took out his precious cultivation time to shop, he didn't frown.
After ten days in a row, Huan Yin bought a total of three magic furnaces in the instrument workshop. However, the three phantom furnaces are not of good grade, and the best one only contains a thousand kinds of casting materials, and the flames are only two kinds: furnace fire and earth fire.
Huan Yin returned to a state of extreme diligence again, and in addition to listening to Zhao Hu's lectures and talking with Zhao Hu about the way of sword casting, he went to the sixth floor of the nine-storied pagoda to read the classics, or practiced sword casting with the magic furnace in his own small courtyard.
In the sixth layer of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, there would not be more than ten cultivators at the same time every day, and these people were already the older generation of Instrument Masters of Yijian Peak, and even one or two Instrument Venerables would occasionally come in. Huan Yin's appearance surprised these people at first. Because Huan Yin's age is too young, it forms a strong contrast with the people who are looking through the classics here. Moreover, Huan Yin is a foreign casual cultivator, and he is still a casual cultivator who does not have the name of an instrument master at all.
However, when they knew that Huan Yin was the young man who rushed to the sixth floor in the nine-storied pagoda at one time, they all put away their strange gazes. People who can surpass their Lan Yanzi Patriarch's achievements, no matter where he comes from, no matter what his age is, these people don't dare to despise him at all. Even some casting masters on this floor will occasionally take the initiative to talk to Huan Yin and exchange ideas, so that both parties will benefit a lot.
Huan Yin spends no less than five hours in the nine-storied pagoda every day, which allows the masters who go to the sixth floor to read the classics to always see Huan Yin reading in the tower. Huan Yin was there when they came, and Huan Yin was still there when they left. In the end, if they didn't see Huan Yin when they came once, they would ask each other: "Where did Huan Xiaoxiu go?"
When Huan Yin was not in the nine-storied pagoda, in addition to being with Zhao Hu and the scattered cultivators, he was forging swords alone in the phantom furnace.
After Huan Yin personally experienced the phantom furnace, he also had to admit the whimsical ideas of the ancestors of Yijian Peak. Forge a sword in the furnace, whatever material you want, beckon, whatever flame you want to use, you have it together. Moreover, forging a sword in it is really the same as forging a sword in kind outside, and the harvest that can be obtained will not be lacking.
At the same time, forging a sword in the furnace is not afraid of failure. Even if you fail ten times, a hundred times, because the materials you use to forge your sword are illusory, you won't let the materials go to waste like a real sword. The illusory materials that have been used up will be lost and regained as long as you move your mind. Huan Yin felt that this magic furnace could not only be used to practice sword casting, but also to practice several times before actually preparing to forge a sword. Wouldn't it be wonderful to wait until you are sure enough to refine the sword you want to forge and then start operating it in the real world?
Over time, Huan Yin's sword-forging skills have really improved a lot. However, he also felt a little worried. Because the grades of the three phantom furnaces he currently has are too low, there are too few materials and flames that he can practice, and even some of the materials and flames in the three phantom furnaces are still duplicated, and the utility is greatly reduced.
On this day, all the scattered cultivators did not listen to Zhao Wei's lecture in the valley all morning. Today is the fifteenth day of this month, and it is the day when the auction is organized in the instrument workshop of Yijian Peak. All the casual cultivators went to the workshop to join in the fun, and they all wanted to see if they could buy something suitable for themselves in the workshop.
"Brother Huan, let's go!" Ji Cangqiong stood at the door of Huan Yin's small courtyard and shouted inside. Today, he and Huan Yin made an appointment to go to the instrument shop together.
Huan Yin pushed open the door and saw Ji Cangqiong standing outside, and smiled at him: "Brother Ji, please!"
......
Qifang, located on the south side of the fourth order of Yijian Peak. Huan Yin had been here many times before, and every time he came, he would see many cultivators of Yijian Peak putting out all kinds of things related to sword casting for sale here. So, it's always a lively place.
Today, when Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong came to the instrument workshop, they were both stunned. Because today's utensils shop has changed from a lively to a crowd of people, and even some monks are floating in the air talking about transactions. It seems that many people want to see today's auction.
"Brother Ji, what do you want?" Huan Yin asked Ji Cangqiong with a smile.
Ji Cangqiong thought for a while: "Personally, it's good to have an ordinary phantom furnace to practice hands, after all, my refining cultivation is inferior, and I can't use it no matter how good it is." As for what our alliance needs, I think it should still be the magic furnace, after all, everyone listens to Master Zhao's lectures every day, but they can't get practical practice, so it is difficult to achieve results if they only stay in theoretical learning. So today, I'm going to buy five ordinary magic furnaces to go back, and I don't know if I can meet them today. ”
Huan Yin nodded, thinking that Ji Cangqiong, the alliance leader, really thought about everyone everywhere, and it was no wonder that he was so popular with all of you. He smiled slightly: "Brother Ji, I still have three ordinary grade phantom furnaces here, which I bought in the instrument workshop a few days ago. Later, these three furnaces of mine can also be used for you to practice. ”
Ji Cangqiong looked at Huan Yin and said, "Brother Huan, you can be so generous, I will thank you on behalf of everyone." Without you, we would probably not be able to reach the current level of our current practice, and we would probably have received a lot of wrong knowledge. By the way, Brother Huan, what are you here to buy?"
Huan Yin replied, "I'm also here to buy the magic furnace." However, I'd like to buy a better furnace, so I'm afraid I'll have to check it out at the auction. ”
When Ji Cangqiong heard Huan Yin's words, he thought that Huan Yin's sword-forging attainments were far superior to ordinary casual cultivators like him, so it was no wonder that he wanted to buy some better magic furnaces. However, he immediately thought that Huan Yin, such an alien boy, was so humble in cultivation, if he was allowed to participate in the auction alone, he would inevitably be oppressed by the people of Yijian Peak, so he spoke: "Brother Huan, I'll accompany you." ”
Huan Yin knew that Ji Cangqiong was taking care of himself, so he glanced at Ji Cangqiong gratefully, and then walked into the instrument workshop with Ji Cangqiong.
Now there is still an hour before the auction starts, just in time for Huan Yin to accompany Ji Cangqiong to see the ordinary magic furnace in the instrument workshop. Moreover, Huan Yin's sword-forging attainments are much higher than Ji Cangqiong's, and with him on the side to make ideas for Ji Cangqiong, Ji Cangqiong will not be pitted by the weapon cultivation of Yijian Peak. After all, Huan Yin knew what Ji Cangqiong needed to practice most of their level of casual cultivation.
Before, Huan Yin would come to visit every day in the instrument workshop, which lasted for more than ten days, and finally only bought three inferior magic furnaces. But on today's day, there are probably more than thirty phantom furnaces that have been taken out and sold, and there are even several medium-grade phantom furnaces among them, containing tens of thousands of materials and three flames, which makes Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong a little dazzled. It seems that today's day is indeed different from the past, not only is there an auction, but also because of the existence of the auction, many cultivators who want to sell treasures have also been attracted here.
In the end, at Huan Yin's suggestion, Ji Cangqiong bought a total of seven phantom furnaces, including two medium-grade ones. In this way, with the three phantom furnaces that Huan Yin is willing to contribute, the monks of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance will have ten phantom furnaces to use, which will be of great help to the scattered cultivators in learning to forge swords in the future.
"Brother Huan, I see that the time is almost up, let's go and see the auction. Ji Cangqiong bought what he wanted, he was very satisfied, and now he was short of what Huan Yin wanted.
Huan Yin nodded: "Brother Ji, I asked just now, the auction venue is in that direction." ”
The auction venue was in the center of the entire instrument workshop, and when Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong watched a flag with the word "auction" fluttering, they knew that they had found the right place.
