Inside the thick earth temple.
Kang Fu was watching Lu Pingchuan practicing in front of his cave. He was holding a big pipe in his mouth. He contracted this problem from Tang Bonian. He was puffing away smoke while watching Lu Pingchuan drink.
Lu Pingchuan weighs about several hundred kilograms. He is wearing a vest made of red bear skin and yin. The red bear skin does not matter, it is strong and durable, while yin is a precious weapon refining material, but it is not thick. The earthen temple does not refine weapons, so what they like is another characteristic of Kanyin, which is its weight. A palm-sized piece of Kanyin weighs hundreds of kilograms. There are pockets on the front and back of the waistcoat, filled with Kanyin pieces.
In addition, Lu Pingchuan also wore several bracelet-like rings made of silver on his wrists. The wide belt at his waist was also studded with silver. Even his ankles were wrapped with leggings made of silver and red bear skin.
If these things on Lu Pingchuan were taken off and put on the car, the strong horses pulling them would probably make them huff and puff, but Lu Pingchuan could do somersaults, punch and kick effortlessly while wearing them. .
"Master, this thing is not heavy. You said it could crush me. It's so light. Do you have any more? Please give me some more."
"Hmph, please stop being nice. You don't think it's heavy, but you have to wear it every day. Even if you don't practice, you can't take it off."
Although Kang Fu didn't have many disciples, he still had a few. The last disciple, Lu Pingchuan's younger brother, a big man named Tongjiao, had already established a foundation and was sent out by the sect. He was no longer around. Lu Pingchuan had all these things. His senior brother Tong Jiao could barely wear it for practice when he was on the second level of Qi Refining. Unexpectedly, Lu Pingchuan felt completely numb when wearing it, just like wearing a few extra thick clothes in the cold weather. This made Kang Fu feel happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that this apprentice was really good and his fellow disciples had long been envious of him. But he was worried about how to teach him in the future. I have never brought up such a disciple. If I continue to be lazy, I am afraid that I will really delay this child. At worst, I will take him out for a while and find some low-level monsters for him to try. This child is extraordinary, and I have to use extraordinary methods to teach him.
"Brother Lu!" Tang Ping came at this time.
After shouting, I realized that Kang Fu was also there. I couldn't help but be stunned and quickly saluted Kang Fu again.
"Hmph, you girl, if you don't practice well by your master's side, why are you running around here?"
Kang Fu had heard from Lu Pingchuan that he and Tang Ping played together in Youming Valley, so he wasn't surprised to see this girl running over.
"I'm going to tell you that I came here specifically to pay my respects to your Uncle Kang. Do you believe it or not?"
"Ha, what do you think? Do I believe it or not?"
"Believe it or not, let me buy you a drink first."
After saying that, Tang Ping took out a small jar from the storage bag, opened the mud seal, took an empty tea cup in front of Kang Fu, poured a cup and handed it over.
"Oh? The little girl can also make wine. Well, it smells good."
After saying that, Kang Fu drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said with some regret: "The taste is a bit bland, and the strength is a bit weak. Girl, if you learn how your sixth grandfather makes wine, it will take you some years to catch up with that old guy!"
After all, Lu Pingchuan has a master. If you give his apprentice a drink, you must make his master feel at ease no matter what, so Tang Ping obediently poured a drink for Kang Fu first.
"Can't you say something good! It's not for you to drink. It's for our Qi Refining disciples." After that, Tang Ping took out another jar and gave both jars of wine to Lu Pingchuan, "Brother Lu, don't do it once Drink up, this is what you drank when you were practicing, not wine to go with your meal."
Lu Pingchuan was already overjoyed when he saw the two jars of wine. He took it and said hurriedly: "I know, I know, it's for practice, hehe."
"You're here just in time, girl. I still have a few things here for your sixth grandfather. When you come, bring them to him, and I won't run away again."
"Forget it, Uncle Kang, to be honest, I went to my sixth grandfather's place today and stole something from him. I won't go, lest he catch me."
These words made Kang Fu laugh so much that he said he was going to ask Old Man Tang to see what good things he had lost.
It was already past noon when Tang Ping arrived at Jiuxuan. After asking someone about Qian Chao's residence, she followed the instructions they told her.
Qian Chao was actually in the yard at that time. Since the morning, Qian Chao had been refining his ores for Senior Brother Cheng in the yard of Chengqitang. He kept going all morning. At noon, he felt a little tired and went back. own small yard.
Tang Ping was almost stunned when she pushed open the door of the small courtyard and looked inside.
In the yard, Qian Chao was sitting on a futon, holding a book and reading. However, the futon was not on the ground, but floating two or three feet above the ground with Qian Chao in his hands.
That's all. There was a set of stone benches and tables in his yard. Two of the stone benches were actually hanging, about the same height as the futon. One of the stone benches was closer to Qian Chao and had a teapot and tea cup on it. That's all. The most surprising thing is that there are three balls of water in Qian Chao's courtyard, floating like water balloons. In each water ball, there is a small fish that shakes its head and twists its body constantly. Whenever a small fish looks for it, When the fin tail is swung in one direction, the water ball also moves with the small fish at the same time, and the speed is consistent with the swimming speed of the small fish, so as to prevent the small fish from rushing out of the water ball and falling to the ground.
"Wow! What the hell are you doing?" Tang Ping was very curious.
Only then did Qian Chao realize that Tang Ping had entered his yard at some point, so he controlled the futon to slowly fall down, and the stone bench slowly returned to its place. However, seeing that Tang Ping was interested in the water polo, he used the magic of controlling objects to move it. All three water balloons came to Tang Ping.
Tang Ping took a closer look at the little fish and the puddle of water. She also stretched out a finger to poke a water ball, looked at the water stains on her fingertips, and then looked at Qian Chao. Put that finger in your mouth and lick it.
"It's just water," Qian Chao said when he saw her like this.
Then Qian Chao controlled the three water polo balls to float to the water tank in the corner of the courtyard. Hearing "gu dong gu dong", all three water polo balls fell into the tank. Tang Ping went to the tank again and looked in. The three small fish were still in the tank. Swim around leisurely.
"Come on, tell me, what are you doing?"
"This is the art of object control. I just practice it with the things around me."
"Is it the object-controlling technique that you use to refine weapons?"
"right"
"It's so fun. I'm going to work hard on the art of controlling objects when I go back. It looked really fun just now."
"Fun? There are more than a hundred senior brothers who have learned the art of weapon refining together, and now they still have a headache. The art of controlling objects is looked down upon by the senior brothers, but there is no way to enter the Artifact Hall."
"how about you?"
After Tang Ping finished speaking, she saw Qian Chao proudly holding a small green round sign to show off to him, so she grabbed it. When she saw the three words "Chengqitang" on the round sign, she threw it away. He gave Qian Chao and said, "Show off."
"Among the hundred and ten people, there is only this small brand now, and there is no other one. Of course it is worth showing off, but now I can only use it to enter the Chengqi Hall, but I am not qualified to wear it. When can I practice it? Now that you have it, you can hang it around your waist."
"Then what are you doing in Chengqi Hall every day? Haven't you learned how to refine weapons yet?"
"It's not that easy. I'm still laying the foundation. What I do every day is to smelt ore into ingots, or I'll help other senior brothers with whatever they're busy with, and I'll also learn from them on the way."
"Oh, that's similar to Sister Yan. Sister Yan hasn't learned alchemy yet. Now she's just like an old farmer, planting and picking grass in the garden every day."
"Have you been to Sister Yan's place?"
"Not only did I go to Sister Yan's place, I also went to Brother Li and Brother Lu. Here, I came from Houtu Temple. Brother Lu asked me to bring this to you."
Qian Chao took it. The storage bag was full of delicious food. The last time Lu Pingchuan was here, all the things Qian Chao had praised were in it. He couldn't help but smile and nodded. As soon as he put the bag away, he saw Tang Ping also took out a small wine bottle with a thin neck and a long mouth. Knowing that it was the spirit wine that Tang Ping sent to her, she didn't refuse and even picked up the lid and smelled it.
"I heard Sister Yan tell me something, which she experienced personally on the day I went there."
While talking, Tang Ping told Qian Chao what happened to Yanxuan in the woods.
Qian Chao chuckled after hearing this.
"Huh, it's just a case of betrayal and intrigue. Is Sister Yan okay?"
"She's fine, but Sister Yan said that now I really feel that what you are thinking in Youming Valley is really good. In the future, when the five of us go out together, we won't have to be with those people who are worried, and at least we will feel more at ease. .”
Qian Chao nodded and said, "So you went to see Brother Li and Brother Lu today, and then you came to my place?"
"Yes, your idea is good. I naturally want to give it a try. We can't let the two of us become separated if we are not in the same sect and practice in the same place. I practice every day now, and the master asked me to have a senior sister to take me. Shui Although there are many people in Yungu, I don’t know many of them. As for Brother Li, there are not many people in Mu Xiufeng. Although the place where he lives has a nice view, according to his temperament, even Mu Xiufeng doesn’t like him. Recognize a few people. Not to mention Brother Lu, several senior brothers have been sent out. Senior Kang takes him with him every day, so he can recognize a few fellow senior brothers. In the future, when we reach the third level of Qi Refining, don’t we have to Together. But you still make me a little worried."
"Don't worry, I have my own way, and I won't delay it."
"Well," Tang Ping nodded after hearing what he said, "do you have enough spiritual stones for cultivation? If not, I can lend you some first, but you must return them to me in the future. I haven't bought many good things yet. !”
"No need," Qian Chao said, pointing to his head, "I have this, it's much easier to use than the spirit stone."
However, he thought about it and was afraid that Tang Ping would think that he was too shameless to take away her spirit stone, so he told her about his practice, and finally said, "My method is definitely useful. All the senior brothers said that it is a perfect weapon." It takes at least half a year for ordinary disciples of the hall to be qualified. You know my qualifications, but I can do it in less than two months. The senior brother Cheng who taught me still thinks that my qualifications are very good."
After hearing this, Tang Ping knew that Qian Chao's method must not tell him about Senior Brother Cheng, so she had to keep this secret for him, but she was also very curious about Qian Chao's method.
"Really or not, can two different spells be used together?"
"Why not? If you fight in the air with others in the future, wouldn't it be air control and other spells used together?"
"That's true. I really haven't thought about it that way. Some things are too common so I don't think about it in detail. Well, okay. It seems that your method is good. I will try it when I get back."
"You just said that you have already become a disciple? Brother Lu's master is Senior Kang. Who is your master?"
"Well, the master my sixth grandfather found for me is Fairy Guhuo from Shuiyun Valley. She is very famous and treats me very well."
Qian Chao was very envious of this matter. He had been in the Chengqi Hall for a few days. Listening to the chats of the seniors in the Chengqi Hall every day, he realized how important apprenticeship was to a Qi Refining disciple.
"There are so many people in Jiu Xuan. It is really difficult for Jiu Xuan's disciples to become disciples. This is what I heard from the senior brothers in Chengqi Hall. Even if the senior brother Cheng who taught me has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, he still has no disciple."
"There is no need to rush into this. If you can stand out in the art of refining weapons, seniors will naturally like you. By the way, do you know there is a crane tower by the lake?"
"Helou? I heard from my senior brothers that there seems to be a gathering there every month. The Qi Refining disciples in the sect sell their goodies there like traders. In fact, they are just some spiritual weapons and they take them with them when they go out. A strange thing to come back from.”
"Oh, you actually know that. Have you been there?"
"No, I don't have such thoughts. Well, I heard that there are several small markets in our Jiuxuan that are not much worse than Helou. Jiuxuan has the most people and is known as the gate for refining weapons, so so many disciples must have something for themselves when they go out. If you don't need it, use it to exchange for spiritual stones. Even in Helou, most of the people are Jiuxuan disciples selling things there. Senior brother said that you can take a look at the things there, and just buy them with spiritual stones. If you buy something you don’t use or it doesn’t work well, you’ll probably regret it.”
"Oh, but it's very lively there, and there are a lot of weird things. I'm thinking of calling Sister Yan, Brother Li, and Brother Lu next month. Let's go shopping together. Whether to buy or not is secondary. The main thing is to see Watching the excitement and relaxing is better than practicing like this every day, which is so boring."
"Yeah" Qian Chao nodded, "That's a good idea. Okay, next month, I'll go find Brother Li and Brother Lu. You take Sister Yan and we'll meet there."
"good"
