When Senior Brother Cheng saw that everyone had arrived, he stopped chatting with Qian Chao. He stood up and struck with both palms. A "pop" sound attracted the attention of all the disciples in the courtyard. After everyone calmed down, he scanned the whole place. start speaking.
"My surname is Cheng, Cheng Qantang. From now on, you can call me Senior Brother Cheng. Under the orders of my sect, I will teach you the art of weapon refining to all my junior brothers and sisters."
As he spoke, Senior Brother Cheng Qantang walked around and looked at everyone, memorizing the unfamiliar faces in his mind.
"Today is my first lecture. I won't talk too much, but it is very important. I will give you a general guide to the practice of weapon refining, so I ask all the junior brothers and sisters to listen attentively."
Having said this, Brother Cheng returned to the wooden case and took out a storage bag and placed it on it.
"You were all given a sword when you entered the academy,"
After that, Senior Brother Cheng took out a sheathed long sword from his storage bag. With a "Cang" sound, he pulled out the blade and showed the crystal-sharp blade to all the disciples.
"The one in my hand is the same as the one you received."
As he spoke, he placed the sword blade in front of him, and clasped the thumb and index finger of his left hand to flick the sword blade. The sword trembled and buzzed.
"If we talk about the sharpness of this sword, it's pretty good."
After saying this, Senior Brother Cheng took out another heavy stone from the storage bag. Under the spiritual power of Senior Brother Cheng, the big brown-gray stone levitated and landed on the side of the desk. There was a muffled sound when it fell. , obviously this stone is extremely heavy.
"Watch it!"
I saw that Senior Brother Cheng threw the long sword in his hand, and the sword was hanging without falling. At this time, Senior Brother Cheng's right hand and index finger formed a sword gesture, pointing towards the big stone and said the word "center".
The long sword suddenly flashed with brilliance and pierced the big stone like a shooting star. The "cha" sound was very harsh. Looking at the sword, there was only a hilt left on the outside of the stone. The entire sword body was actually It was submerged in the big rock.
"Wow!" Many disciples present were stunned when they saw it. They didn't expect that the long sword given by the master was so sharp. Qian Chao was also stunned, and then he realized that the long sword in his storage bag was actually so sharp. It was used like this. It was ridiculous that I thought that the sword had to be held in my hand to kill.
However, Brother Cheng's demonstration was not over yet. He hooked his fingers at the long sword that was embedded in the stone, and the sword came out with another "crack" sound like a strange snake. Senior Brother Cheng looked at the big stone, walked over and scratched the stone twice with one finger. When he walked away, the long sword in the air came forward, as if it was held by a thick and strong hand. He slashed at the big stone twice in a row, just where Senior Brother Cheng's fingers had scratched. "Crack!" Three pieces. The place where the blade of the sword passed was extremely smooth, and you could see the spots on the inside of the big stone.
But the sword was unscathed and safe!
Senior Brother Cheng used the Object Controlling Technique to hang up the three pieces of the big stone for all the disciples to watch.
"How about it? This sword is pretty sharp, right?"
After placing the three stones back on the ground, Senior Brother Cheng asked the disciples.
All the disciples nodded their heads, excited in their hearts, secretly thinking that the teacher gave them such a treasure!
Seeing Xiaoxiao, Senior Brother Cheng took out a second long sword from his storage bag, held it in his hand and said to everyone:
"This sword is a sword that I forged myself under the guidance of my senior brother many years ago, not long after I joined the apprenticeship like you."
After saying that, he pulled out the sword and showed it to everyone.
This second sword seemed plain and unremarkable, with much less brilliance and charm than the first sword.
"What do you think would happen if the two swords struck each other?"
This... everyone didn't know what Brother Cheng meant by this, but when the blades of two swords collided, one would be broken or both would be injured, or one sword would be intact but the other would be cut open, and it seemed that no matter how hard it was, one would be broken. There are no further results. But it seems that the shiny one has a greater chance of winning.
When everyone was thinking about this, they saw Brother Cheng moving his hands together, and saw the two swords hanging in the air, slashing at each other as if they were fighting. The sound of "dang" shocked everyone into an uproar!
I saw that the long sword made by Brother Cheng himself actually cut the first sword in half. After cutting off, the two swords hung there quietly. Even the broken sword body did not fall to the ground, just like that. Hang it for everyone to watch carefully.
"This...!" Everyone was really shocked at this moment. The sword that was so sharp just now was cut off in one fell swoop. That sword could cut through big rocks easily. It’s broken!
Looking at the other sword, at least it looked intact. It was the first sword that Senior Brother Cheng had refined when he was like himself. How could it be so sharp?
Seeing everyone in a daze, Senior Brother Cheng smiled slightly. With one hand, he led the long sword he had made and slashed at the broken sword again. There was a "dang, dang, dang, dang" sound, and he cut the broken sword into seven or eight pieces.
Although the broken sword was chopped into several pieces, it still maintained the shape of a sword, hanging in the air without falling, allowing everyone present to look at it carefully in shock.
"Are you a little distressed?" Senior Brother Cheng said with a smile, and he could see it on the faces of these junior brothers and sisters.
"It doesn't matter. Although this sword was cut off by me, this broken sword can still be recast. As long as you put more thought into it, I don't know how much better it will be after recasting than it is now."
"However," Senior Brother Cheng took the sword he had made into his hand, caressed the blade and asked, "Do you know why the two swords are so different?"
This was exactly what the disciples were thinking. Seeing Senior Brother Cheng asking this question, they couldn't help but start talking about it.
"Okay," after listening for a while, Senior Brother Cheng interrupted the discussion of the disciples, "I also heard a rough idea of what you just said. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the materials used in refining these two swords The materials are all the same, it can even be said that the one I refined myself uses less materials."
Seeing that these junior brothers and sisters could no longer guess, Senior Brother Cheng continued:
"The reason why my own sword can easily cut off that one is very simple. It's just because my sword has one more rune engraved on it than the broken sword when it was being refined. The sword in your hands During the refining process, there were only three runes engraved on the sword. However, the sword I refined myself has four runes on it. You have all received scriptures on the study of runes. I wonder if you have read them. No, but I won’t talk about that today.”
"The mystery of this weapon refining is endless. The difference of just one rune can make such a huge difference in two swords. To be honest, I have no longer used this four-rune spirit sword. The spirit sword I use now If we chop this sword, hum, it will be even easier than before. As practitioners, all of us hope that the spiritual sword and spiritual weapon we use is better, so that it suits our own needs. If we want to use a better spiritual weapon, If you are reluctant to trade spiritual stones with others, then you must study the art of refining the weapon with your heart. As long as you are willing to put in the effort and thought, you will be able to refine the spiritual weapon that suits your needs."
"Well, in addition, you must not think that the spiritual swords issued to you by the master are vulnerable. I can say bluntly that the spiritual swords in your hands are the lowest level among weapon refiners, because with your cultivation level, now You can only use this kind of spiritual weapon. But this kind of spiritual sword is enough to handle even if your cultivation reaches the third level of weapon refining and you go out to work for Jingshiyuan and kill the monsters you encounter outside the sect."
After saying this, Senior Brother Cheng stopped and let the group of junior brothers and sisters savor it for a while before he spoke again:
"I just said that the materials used in refining these two swords are the same. Do you know what the materials are?"
Everyone shook their heads and waited for Senior Brother Cheng to continue.
With a move from Senior Brother Cheng's right hand, one piece of the stone that had been cut into three pieces slowly floated up and moved in front of him.
"Is it possible that our sword is actually made from this stone?" Now some of the many disciples began to discuss.
"I guess you all thought this was an ordinary stone just now. In fact, it is not. This is a raw stone of green copper ore. It is far harder than ordinary stones. Look!"
After Brother Cheng finished speaking, he aimed his right hand at the stone and flexed his fingers slightly. I saw that the stone began to tremble, and with a crackling sound, the stone first began to split into two with a crack, split into two pieces, and then each began to have countless more cracks and continued to crack. But not a single stone shot out. The pile of scattered stones hung in front of Senior Brother Cheng's palm, still cracking.
In the end, less than a cup of tea, the stone was completely shattered and turned into a ball of gravel hanging in front of Senior Brother Cheng's palm.
Qian Chao was the closest and saw it clearly. Three words flashed in his mind: the art of controlling objects.
Brother Cheng waved his right hand lightly again, and the ball of gravel began to rotate. After spinning a few times, when it stopped, the color of the top bit of the ball of gravel was different from that of the large ball below. The color at the top is much darker than that at the bottom, which seems to be ordinary gravel.
Senior Brother Cheng pointed to the darker-colored gravel at the top and said:
"Look, the top one is green copper. The green copper we use to make weapons is naturally not the kind used to make money in the world. Mortal gold and iron cannot withstand the imprints of runes when making weapons. I'm afraid half Before the runes are printed, the iron will fall apart."
"Actually, there are a lot of impurities in the green copper above, and there is still a small amount of green copper mixed in the ones below. If you want to completely refine all the green copper in a piece of ore, you have to use the art of fire refining. This is also the reason why you all got a copy of "Fire Control Technique", but as far as refining weapons are concerned, the Fire Control Technique does not need to be refined, it is enough."
As he spoke, Senior Brother Cheng let the gravel fall on the wooden case.
"Just now I broke open this piece of ore and turned it into a pile of sand. Previously, I used the art of controlling objects to control the spirit sword. This technique of controlling objects is the most important for those of us who practice weapon refining."
Senior Brother Cheng picked up the hilt of the broken sword and said, "Once you have mastered the art of controlling objects, the same spiritual weapon will naturally be more powerful in your hands." After saying this, he saw the fragments of the broken sword on the wooden case. Pieces of pieces flew out and joined together at the hilt of the sword. As the sword tip finally came together, the broken sword turned into a complete sword again, but the previous brilliance was long gone.
"It's just like the same weapon. A person with strong strength will naturally wield it with more power than a person with weak strength."
Brother Cheng held the spliced sword and made a gesture of unsheathing the sword. Unexpectedly, when he drew the sword in vain, the sword he had made on the case turned out with a "blue" sound. It was also pulled out and hung above everyone.
I saw Senior Brother Cheng turning around and performing several sword postures. The long sword in his hand, which had been broken into several pieces, was stabbing, lifting, chopping or slashing. The spiritual sword above everyone seemed to be held by a transparent person at the same time. The dance was similar to the sword style used by Senior Brother Cheng, there was no difference at all, only a ball of sword light was seen floating around. It's just that Senior Brother Cheng made no sound when he danced, but when the sword above everyone danced, it made waves of sword sounds like dragons roaring and tigers roaring.
After the dance, Senior Brother Cheng stretched out his left hand, and the two scabbards flew up from the wooden table at the same time. One landed on Senior Brother Cheng's left hand, and the other landed next to the sword above everyone.
With a "click", the two swords were sheathed at the same time.
After both swords were placed on the wooden table, seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Senior Brother Cheng pulled out the broken sword, but only pulled out a section of the hilt. Only then did everyone believe that the sword was still broken.
"This object-controlling skill is still an important method when we refine weapons. Although it cannot be said that the better the object-controlling skill is, the better the spiritual weapon will be, but if the object-controlling skill is mediocre, it will be difficult to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon. Hey, There are some pieces of green copper here, take a look first."
Senior Brother Cheng took out a few more dark green spindles from the storage bag, which looked similar to the color of the patina.
Senior Brother Cheng pointed to the pile of gravel on the wooden case and said:
"This green copper is refined from here. If you want to practice this weapon refining technique, we will not give you the materials and tell you the method from the beginning, and then let you go and refine it yourself. The first thing you have to learn is preparation. Materials, the master will not give you green copper ingots for you to use. What is given to you is green copper ore. If you want to refine weapons, you must first refine the green copper ingots yourself. This step is called material making, and the materials used are If it is a low-grade weapon, it is impossible to use it to refine a high-grade spiritual weapon. The materials used to make it are object control and fire control."
Having said this, I didn't see how Brother Cheng moved. The pile of gravel on the wooden case floated up again, and began to rotate faster and faster. It rustled on the wooden case, and became tighter and faster. It became thinner and longer, and finally turned into a straight "sand stick". It kept dancing under the control of Senior Brother Cheng's Object Controlling Technique, and not even a grain of sand was thrown out.
"You must have heard that the Nine Mysteries Sect of the Wuling Sect is the gate for refining weapons. Every disciple in the sect has one or two unique skills in weapon refining. In fact, those are just rumors. Among our Nine Mysteries, Those who are truly proficient in weapon refining, let alone one-tenth or two out of ten, may not even be able to achieve it even if they are one-two in a hundred. Although I am teaching you this weapon refining technique, I am also constantly practicing and studying hard, and the more I learn, the more I feel that this is the case. The art of weapon refining is profound and profound.”
After saying this, I saw that the two ends of the "sand stick" were bent back together and turned into a perfect circle "sand ring". The "sand ring" began to rotate whirringly, looking like a The big "mara ball", however, as the "mara ball" gradually became smaller, it changed from a hollow maracas to a solid maracas, and finally landed on the wooden table, bouncing a few times with "dong dong". Next, it kept rotating in the center of the wooden case.
"Some people also say that there are two sects in Wuling Sect that can earn spiritual stones. One is to go to Qixia Mountain to practice the alchemy technique, and the elixirs produced will naturally have monks rushing to buy the spiritual stones. The other is to go to Qixia Mountain to practice the alchemy technique. Jiu Xuan came to learn the art of refining weapons, and the superior spiritual weapons made monks flock to them. This is true, but what I want to tell you, my brothers and sisters, is that we don’t care about Qixia Mountain, at least when Jiu Xuan can really There are very few people who earn spiritual stones through the art of refining weapons. You will know this later. You must know that there are even higher-level Jiuxuan Qi Refining disciples on the third level of Qi Refining. As long as there is no foundation building, almost everyone will go there. Jingshiyuan is sent to do things. Why? Isn’t it just to get a few more spiritual stones after the things are done? How can it be as simple as the rumors say? Well, to be honest with you, I will tell you about this weapon refining technique. It’s also an assignment, just an assignment within the sect, and in the end I received a sum of spiritual stones. If I could earn spiritual stones by refining spiritual weapons, would I still be wasting my time here?”
After saying that, Brother Cheng clicked on the constantly rotating maracas. The maracas stopped immediately, and then spread out again into a pile of gravel.
"I am telling you this to all junior brothers and sisters. I want you to get rid of your vanity and don't wait until you get discouraged and disappointed in the future. In fact, it is the same even for those who practice other sects. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the difficulty of refining weapons begins with The art of controlling objects has begun. You have also seen the high wall behind you. There is the Chengqi Hall inside the door. It is a place where materials are specially made and weapons are refined. But if you want to go in, you must at least be able to see your art of controlling objects. Otherwise, you are not qualified to enter. A month later, if you are still here, show me how well you have practiced the art of controlling objects. If you are qualified, I will take you to the yard on the other side of the wall to continue teaching it. If you are not qualified, I will continue to teach you. We must continue to work hard on the art of controlling objects. This practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I hope all of you, my brothers and sisters, will keep this in mind."
After saying that, Senior Brother Cheng glanced at everyone and saw that many people's faces were filled with fear. He couldn't help but smile. However, the young Junior Brother named Qian who was sitting nearest became more and more eager. Only then did he think that this Junior Brother Qian had come from him. He had been staring at himself since the beginning of the lecture, for fear of missing a word, and now he was looking at the pile of gravel on the wooden desk carefully. Well, I don’t know how far Junior Brother Qian can go on this road of weapon refining.
"Okay, now I will explain the object-controlling technique to you. I guess some people should have learned it by themselves. This object-controlling technique is not difficult to learn, but it is difficult to master it. After I finish explaining, it is time for you to work hard. From now on, one I will be here every day in the middle of the month. If you have any questions, you can come to me here."
