Senior Brother Cheng has just had some leisure time these days. According to what he told his junior brothers and sisters before, there are still seven or eight days left before the school's examination of the art of controlling objects. It has been two or three days since anyone came into the courtyard to ask him for advice. How to practice the art of controlling objects in order to make progress. He was also happy to be free and had nothing to do, so he sat behind the case, took out a book and studied it carefully.
Qian Chao saw Senior Brother Cheng who was studying from a distance outside the hospital. He wanted to go in, but he hesitated.
He has been staying in his small courtyard these days, and only occasionally goes out for a walk when he feels bored. His residence is surrounded by disciples who entered Jiuxuan with him, and they all stay in Youming Valley together. After living together for a year, even if they were not familiar with each other when they were in Youming Valley, now that they are fellow disciples of Jiu Xuan, they have become acquaintances, although many of them cannot be named.
Qian Chao learned some things from their chat, such as the one-month deadline given by Brother Cheng last time after his lecture. Now there are less than ten days left in this month, and many of his fellow students are already practicing the art of refining weapons. Some of the disciples went to Senior Brother Cheng to ask for advice on how to practice the Object Control Technique faster. Some people who thought they were good at practicing the Object Control Technique went to show off to Senior Brother Cheng. In the end, what Senior Brother Cheng said was basically the same: Object Control Technique. Cultivation is closely related to one's own cultivation. Otherwise, the art of controlling objects is like a tree without a root or a water without a source. Junior brothers, you'd better go back and practice hard, put more thought into it, and come back when the time comes.
Qian Chao felt that something was wrong. Senior Brother Cheng only gave him one month. He was right. The art of controlling objects was indeed related to one's personal cultivation. However, within one month, these new disciples who had just started had to wait for a month. How much can you improve your cultivation level? Nature is very limited. But he still has to test the object-controlling skills of these people in a month. Qian Chao doesn't believe it if Senior Brother Cheng has no profound meaning in doing this. I also remembered what Senior Brother Cheng said about the Nine Mysteries. Almost everyone knows how to refine weapons with both hands, but there are only one or two out of a hundred who are truly proficient in weapon refining. They are very few.
Gradually, the purpose of Senior Brother Cheng, or the purpose that the sect wanted to achieve through Senior Brother Cheng, gradually became clear in front of Qian Chao.
It is not difficult for any child who has stayed in a private school for a period of time to be able to recognize a few words. After staying for a long time, he can write an article imitating the format of the book. But in the eyes of gentlemen, if there is one child in a room full of children who is willing to work hard to write very neatly, he will naturally be overjoyed. If this child can also write extremely beautiful articles, he must be a good person. He will put more effort into his mountain.
Senior Brother Cheng must have done this as a routine of the sect. The purpose was to see if any of these disciples had any talent in the art of weapon refining. They had to take the exam in such a short time. They were nothing but this weapon refining. In addition to hard work, the art also pays more attention to the ingenuity when refining the weapon. If you can't even pass the art of controlling objects, what's the point of ingenuity?
Thinking of this, Qian Chao wanted to go to Senior Brother Cheng to give it a try, but when he came to the door, he hesitated again. However, after re-evaluating himself in his heart, he made up his mind again. Even if he was not recognized by Senior Brother Cheng, the big deal would be Just keep working hard, being timid will not lead to anything.
"Senior Brother Cheng," Qian Chao greeted after entering the door.
Senior Brother Cheng put down the book in his hand when he heard the sound. When he saw Qian Chao, he was slightly startled, then smiled and called him over.
"Junior Brother Qian, is there anything you don't understand about cultivation that you want to ask me?"
When Qian Chao sat across from him, Senior Brother Cheng asked.
"After practicing these days, I would like to ask Senior Brother Cheng to take a look. If there is anything wrong, I would like to ask Senior Brother Cheng to point it out to me so that Junior Brother can correct it in the future."
After hearing this, Senior Brother Cheng secretly thought that this was obviously to let him take the exam for him in advance, so let's take a look. After all, Junior Brother Qian made people feel unusual in the library.
"Okay, then I'll take a look, Junior Brother Qian, please."
Qian Chao took out a stone the size of a human head from his storage bag and placed it on Senior Brother Cheng's case for inspection. Senior Brother Cheng calmly put a finger on the stone and realized that although the stone was common, it was also hard and had not been touched. He took back his finger and nodded to Qian Chao, indicating for him to continue.
Seeing Senior Brother Cheng nod, the money rush started.
The stone began to hang half a foot above the table, and then there seemed to be a living creature in the stone eager to get out, rushing around inside, causing the stone to tremble rapidly and vibrate more and more intensely. With a "pop" sound, the stone split into two halves.
Since the stone started to tremble, Senior Brother Cheng's expression became serious. When the stone cracked, the corners of his eyes twitched and he secretly thought that this junior brother's technique was almost the same as when he demonstrated it that day. He couldn't help but look up at Qian tide.
Although the stone cracked in half, it still kept shaking and trembling. After a while, there were two "pop" sounds and it split into four pieces again.
Senior Brother Cheng nodded and said to himself that it was good, but he still had to continue watching to see what the quick stone would become in the hands of Junior Brother Qian.
With the sound of "pop" one after another, the stone the size of a human head turned into a pile of small stones, the largest of which was no more than the size of a grape. At this time, Qian Chao changed his approach, and the small stones no longer continued to crack, but were tightly squeezed into a ball by Qian Chao's Object Control Technique. At this time, Qian Chao aimed both hands at the ball of stones, and The group of stones was also being grasped in the palm of a strong hand and was being rubbed continuously. The hard pebbles were rubbed and worn back and forth against each other, making a "crack-crack" sound that made people's ears tighten, like teeth grinding. Not long after, a small amount of fine gravel was mixed in.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Cheng couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was smart. Junior Brother Qian's cultivation level was still shallow and his spiritual power was insufficient. He couldn't continue to crack the stones like himself. He actually thought of this method, but he ended up with the same result. It saves energy and is really smart.
When the stones were almost turned into fine gravel, with only a few small pebbles the size of beans remaining, Qian Chao moved the five fingers of his right hand slightly, and saw that the ball of gravel began to rotate on the case. When it stopped, , on the top of the small sand pile are those few small pebbles the size of beans. After that, the pile of sand and gravel gathered into a maracas under Qian Chao's object-controlling technique, but it did not rotate. It only bounced back and forth on the case like a rubber ball, and then divided into two maracas, then four, and finally more than twenty The walnut-sized maracas jumped back and forth on the case. When they jumped outside the case, they seemed to hit the wall and bounce back. When they collided with each other, they did not scatter, but bounced off each other like real balls. In the end These maracas were stacked together like candied haws and danced back and forth. They continued to rotate head to tail in a circle, and gradually contracted into a maracas. When the rotation stopped and the maracas spread out, the few bean-sized balls were scattered. The fine stones are still on top of the small pile of sand.
After Qian Chao finished doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, saluted respectfully to Senior Brother Cheng, and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, please give me your advice."
After that, Senior Brother Cheng looked calm on his face, but he was very surprised in his heart.
What Qian Chao expected was not bad. The reason why Senior Brother Cheng wants to test the object-controlling skills of everyone in the school is just to see if any of these disciples are talented in the art of weapon refining. After all, they can refine weapons. The difference between being proficient in weapon refining is huge, just like the difference between a person who can write and a calligrapher.
Since that day when I left a message for everyone in the school to take the exam, there have been quite a few disciples who have come to this courtyard to look for Senior Brother Cheng these days. The first ones came to ask how to practice the art of controlling objects to make progress faster, and then there were more. With the mentality of not being satisfied with a bottle, but swaying after half a bottle, he was either a good spiritual person or a little clever, showing off in front of Senior Brother Cheng, which made Cheng Qiantang laugh secretly and dismissed them one by one.
Only today, Junior Brother Qian made his eyes light up and he felt astonished.
Cheng Qantang's cultivation has already passed the fifth level. The cultivation of the fifth level of Qi refining is much higher than Qian Chao's, but he didn't expect that he can do it with the art of controlling objects. This is just a beginner, and the first level of Qi refining is The junior brother on the upper level can actually do it. Although the methods are somewhat different, it is this difference that shows how smart junior brother Qian is. This made Cheng Qantang not only surprised, but even slightly jealous, but he quickly got rid of this inappropriate mentality.
Senior Brother Cheng of Cheng Qiantang was not selected from the First Class, but from a small aristocratic family. However, he was not sent here, but selected by his own family.
The aristocratic family selects their nephews and nephews with good qualifications to join the Wuling Sect simply because they want them to learn something useful to the family, usually the art of alchemy and weapon refining. Cheng Qantang failed to enter Qixia Mountain when he entered the Wuling Sect, so he could only Jiuxuan Xiu is a person with good qualifications, a stable mind, and a relatively intelligent person in the art of weapon refining. Therefore, Jiuxuan has been considered the best among his peers in the art of weapon refining over the years. Recently, his family sent someone to send him a letter, saying that the family had prepared a generous gift for him to become a disciple, and was preparing to let him become a disciple of Senior Shen of the Nine Mysteries. If so, he would build his own foundation in the future. There is nothing to worry about, but since the family has done this for him, it also means that he will not have to think about the position of the person in charge of the family in the future. The family has tried their best to train him, so he must not know which of his brothers is it, but that doesn't matter, he is now It's also very good, and your status will not be low when you return home in the future.
Although Cheng Qantang is not very old, he is a shrewd person. He always has a feeling in his heart about this little junior brother in front of him. This person will definitely have extraordinary attainments in the art of refining weapons in the future. He doesn't know the reason for this feeling. Are you here just because of the object-controlling technique demonstrated by Junior Brother Qian? Almost, but not entirely. The intelligence in this junior brother's eyes was something he had never seen in the eyes of other junior brothers and sisters. I will always go back to my small aristocratic family in the future. If I have a junior brother who is skilled in weapon refining in the Five Spirits Sect after I go back, it will be a good thing for myself and my family.
Well, no matter what happens in the future, if you want to form a good relationship, you must do it early!
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Cheng made up his mind.
Qian Chao didn't expect that Senior Brother Cheng would think of so many things in this short moment. He saw a smile spread out on Senior Brother Cheng's face, then he stood up and said to himself:
"Junior Brother Qian, follow me."
Qian Chao didn't understand what he meant when he heard it, but he immediately got up and followed him. Then he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Senior Brother Cheng leading him towards the small door of the yard leading to the Chengqi Hall next door.
"Junior Brother Qian, congratulations. You don't need to take the exam in a few days. What you showed me today is enough. You can continue to practice weapon refining in this academy in the future."
As he spoke, Senior Brother Cheng pushed open the small door and walked in, motioning for Qian Chao to follow him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng," Qian Chao said and stepped in.
