Chapter 21: The Whetstone
In the middle of April of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the Shenxiao Dao performance class ended.
Zhang Qian, ranked tenth, enjoyed the reward of the dojo for the first time in his life. Although this bottle of "Nourishing Qi Dispersion" is of very low value to him now. Through this assessment, Zhang Qian got a future with infinitely good prospects.
In less than ten days, he was promoted from the fourth level of qi refining to the fifth level of qi refining, and his strength was directly in the small realm of the top one, and he also suppressed Zhu Bin, who was six levels of qi refining in the illusion realm. The result is unimaginable.
The meaning of Zhang Gan's name instantly underwent a big reversal in the Shenxiao Dao.
It was those elite disciples in the late stage of qi refining, and some of them took the initiative to find the door, such as Chen Zhenzhen, such as Zhu Geng, not to mention Wang Jianyuan and Xu Ran, who were in the seventh stage of qi refining.
Zhang Qian is already a golden thigh in a sense.
If it is really a native of this time and space, a young descendant who is only fifteen years old, he may not be able to stand such a pair of flattery and not be fluctuating. It's a pity that Zhang Qian is not, his body is very young, but his mind is a small cao root who struggled in society after graduating from the last time and space.
'Not arrogant or impatient' is the most correct evaluation that Zhang Qian has shown in the past two days.
This also made Wang Wenqing, who had been paying attention to him, more satisfied.
It's rare for a young man to have such a kind of cultivation, so calm, and so stable in his heart, this is a natural cultivation seedling.
As for the relationship between the people in the inner gate and Zhang Qian's relationship in the past two days, and how much benefit Zhang Qian has received in the past two days, Wang Wenqing didn't pay attention to it at all.
For the true seedlings of the monastic, resources are nothing. For example, Wang Jiling, if he can break through to the Jindan realm now, no matter how many resources he spends, Lin Lingsu is also willing. In fact, no matter how many resources Wang Jiling enjoys, it is impossible to achieve the Jindan realm in the short term.
Zhang Qian made a windfall.
Xu Zhigao and Li Qingyuan were stuffed with their own pockets, and even the Zhang family was sent three ingots and ten taels of gold by Zhang Gan. Zhang Qian remembered that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the ratio of gold and silver in China was not one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, but now it is this price. He didn't bother much.
In the real history of the Northern Song Dynasty, silver was not currency at all, and copper coins were the real circulating 'banknotes' at this time. 'Guan' is the commonly used monetary unit of the Song people.
Zhang Qian had five talismans in his hand, one for Xu Zhigao and Li Qingyuan, and the other for eight hundred taels of silver that he sold to Zhou Zicong, the fat man of Zhou.
Seriously, no one is rich without a windfall, this is not true at all.
Zhang Qian, who was still poor before, was accepted as a registered disciple by Lin Lingsu, but he only got out of poverty and removed the elixir magic weapon, and his total assets were only three or five hundred taels of silver, of which a considerable part still needed to be realized. But now, not to mention the talismans, magic weapons, and elixirs in his hand, they are gifts that come in and send them to the door, and if it is silver, it will be more than a thousand taels.
Think about the past and look at the present. Zhang Qian's heart suddenly felt pitiful, and Gao Chang came.
In the previous ring battle, Zhu Bin set up a formation, but Zhu Bin's strength was not bad at all. The last light in Chen Dalei's eyes was extinguished, but there was still one person who came to the ring to challenge Zhang Gan. That's Gao Chang!
Gao Chang's strength is really much worse than Zhu Binlai. He released three spirit soldiers at one time, and was killed by Zhang Gan's sword qi, so he was naturally willing to bow down.
However, Gao Chang's move gave Zhang Qian a very deep 'wrong feeling': This is a summoner.
Thinking about the techniques of inviting gods and scattering beans into soldiers in that way, isn't it just summoning?
In the ring battle that day, Zhang Qian did not continue to challenge upward. He is already high enough to be in the limelight, and it will be too aggressive to challenge him any further.
The coming day is long, and there is a law class once a month, which is equivalent to a monthly exam. Zhang Qian has time to build his strength in everyone's hearts thoroughly.
"Senior Brother Zhang, your sword qi technique is very ingenious. "Inhale gold and absorb the lungs, strengthen the body and nourish the spirit.
Zhang Ruhui's eyes were full of joy, Zhang Gan's sword qi technique may not be very powerful, but it is very suitable for self-defense.
Send and receive as you like, it is conceived in the body on weekdays, and it can also increase the lungs. The five visceral gods have nothing in common with the divine consciousness, and the role of the five visceral gods lies in the physical body, and the growth and enhancement of the physical body is also of great use to the Taoists themselves.
Zhang Qian listened quietly, and agreed with Zhang Ruhui's classification of this sword qi as a human-level exercise.
Although the power of this sword qi is good, in essence, it does belong to the human level. Zhu Bin's formation can't be broken, it can't be a ground-level exercise.
"What does the junior brother need? Senior brother has all the exercises, pills, medicinal herbs, and hardware here. If you feel that you are still unsatisfied, Senior Brother is in charge and lets you choose any magic weapon. "This sword qi technique is very valuable, and Zhang Ruhui's performance is enough to prove it.
Zhang Qian's eyes narrowed, he had already thought about this before he came.
The rules of Shenxiao Dao are quite meticulous, and for a person like him who dedicates the Dharma to his master, there is a reward for dedication. Shenxiao Dao definitely doesn't want anything from you in vain. For example, Wang Wenqing handed over many of his secret methods to Lin Lingsu, and then he became the Great Elder of Shenxiao Dao. Wang Jiling's Huanglinguan was annexed by Shenxiao Dao, but Wang Jiling did not suffer at all, from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building, and he got the true inheritance of Shenxiao Dao, and revised the "Shangqing Thunder Train Five Thunder Dafa".
"Senior brother, junior brother wants to change a piece of red copper essence. ”
Zhang Ruhui looked at Zhang Qianzhen and wanted to ask him what he wanted to refine copper for? That thing is a hundred refining refined copper, and it already has spirituality, and adding it to ordinary refining tools can raise the quality of magic weapons by one level.
A piece of red copper essence is more precious than a low-level magic weapon.
But thinking that Zhang Qian's luck was also extraordinary, and that cultivators were the most taboo for others to get to the bottom of it, he closed his mouth, turned around and went to the secret room of the Law Urn Bureau, and took out a piece for Zhang Gan.
A small piece of red copper essence looked no more than the size of an egg, but the tentacles sank suddenly.
"Good fellow, that's at least fifty or sixty pounds. ”
Zhang Qian had a copper brick given to him by Wan Ding Xin in his hand, and his power was average, just like the golden ring, and he was disgusted by the broken jade of the dantian. This is nothing, the dantian broken jade is very mysterious, he doesn't have a foundation now, and he doesn't expect to figure it out immediately.
But the scene of this broken jade smelting the sword pill at the beginning, Zhang Qianke still remembers it vividly. It was Zhang Qian who never stopped thinking about it, he wanted to make the copper bricks stronger.
The bricks smashed people, this may be a manifestation of Zhang Gan's bad taste. But that's what he thought in his heart.
The memory of worrying about money on the first day has been thrown away by Zhang Gan.
......
It was also at this time, the same examination hall, Wang Wenqing.
Wang Jiling quietly walked into the secret room and saluted Wang Wenqing.
"I've seen the Great Elder. ”
"Gao Chang asked for those pills?"
The disciple had already handed over the pill to Gao Chang, and made his intention clear, and Gao Chang accepted all the pills. ”
"Hmm. The children can be taught. ”
Wang Wenqing, as well as Lin Lingsu above him, have to find a whetstone and sharpen Zhang Qian well. Jade is not cut into a tool.
Otherwise, Zhu Bin would have such a big difference in strength in one day?
And this Gao Chang is the object chosen by Wang Wenqing. To be a good whetstone, you also have to be qualified.
