"Senior Brother Cheng" Qian Chao walked to Cheng Qantang's case and gently placed a storage bag on it, "It's been refined. Please take a look at it, Senior Brother Cheng."
"So fast!" Senior Brother Cheng put down the book in his hand, took the storage bag and looked at it. There were more than a dozen green copper ingots in it, as well as some other miscellaneous ingots of various sizes.
"Not bad, not bad. Junior Brother Qian is melting these ores faster and faster now. Come on," said Senior Brother Cheng, taking out a green copper ingot from the storage bag and placing it on the case, "This is for you."
"How good is this..."
"Take it, you will definitely need it in the future."
Qian Chao no longer refused, picked up the piece of green copper, and thanked Senior Brother Cheng with a smile.
"Junior Brother Qian, how have you been practicing the "Six Talisman True Meanings" since I taught it to you last time?"
"I was about to talk to Senior Brother Cheng about this matter. After Senior Brother Cheng told me last time, I have practiced it many times myself. If I don't understand something well, I have to ask Senior Brother to teach me."
"Okay, there's nothing to do at this time anyway. Please tell me in detail."
"yes"
They were currently in the same courtyard where Senior Brother Cheng used to explain to everyone for the first time, separated by a wall from Chengqi Hall.
At this time, more than 20 days have passed since the last time Senior Brother Cheng took the school's Object Controlling Test. According to Senior Brother Cheng's words, Qian Chao did not participate in that test. At that time, he was smelting green copper ore next door. It was said that everyone in the exam was miserable, and no one could get Senior Brother Cheng to nod in approval. Finally, Senior Brother Cheng gave them a one-month deadline, and agreed to come here to take the exam one month later.
When Qian Chao was asking for advice, a disciple who also practiced weapon refining came to the door of the courtyard. It seemed that he came to ask for help from his senior brother. Qian Chao had his back turned to the man and did not notice it, but senior brother Cheng was facing him. Regarding that person, since others could not listen to what Qian Chao told him yet, Brother Cheng stopped the person with his eyes and asked him to wait.
The man could only stand at the entrance of the courtyard and wait for Qian Chao to finish asking for advice. Then he watched with envy as Qian Chao stood up, saluted Senior Brother Cheng, and entered through the small door on the high wall. Inside the Chengqi Hall.
Of the more than a hundred disciples who were practicing the art of refining weapons together, none of them could make Senior Brother Cheng nod his head in approval. Nothing happened at first, but then I don't know who discovered it first. Qian Chao, who had entered the inner gate together, went to the Chengqi Hall every day. When he wanted to follow him in to see what was going on, he was stopped by the senior brother at the door of the Chengqi Hall. , and after careful questioning, I found out that Qian Chao could have continued to practice the art of refining weapons in the Chengqi Hall.
This discovery surprised many of the disciples who entered the Nine Mysteries together, so some people recalled that Qian Chao was not seen participating when Senior Brother Cheng took the exam for the art of controlling objects in school that day. Presumably, he had been recognized by Senior Brother Cheng and was qualified to enter Chengdu. It’s time to go to the Qi Hall.
Later, everyone's guesses about Qian Chao were roughly divided into two types. One was that Qian Chao's ability to control objects was far superior to everyone else, and he was able to get into the eyes of Senior Brother Cheng, so he was allowed to enter the Chengqi Hall. The other is that Qian Chao must have an extraordinary background and a high status. Even senior brother Cheng does not dare to provoke him, so he can enter the Chengqi Hall ahead of everyone else.
Later, someone came to Qian Chao in the name of asking for advice. The person who came was an acquaintance of Qian Chao when he was in Youming Valley.
Qian Chao only told Tang Ping about his own cultivation method. He even hid it from Senior Brother Cheng, but naturally he wouldn't say a word about it to the people he interacted with. However, Qian Chao did not lose out to them. He selected some of his experiences in using the art of controlling objects and told them, and also gave them some demonstrations.
From then on, the disciples who came with him all concluded that this young brother Qian was definitely not a person of extraordinary origin. If he had a rich background, how could he live in that cramped little courtyard like everyone else? Seeing that Brother Qian is almost the same as Senior Brother Cheng when he uses the art of controlling objects, no wonder he was able to enter the Artifact Hall so early. It must be that his spiritual talent is far superior to everyone else. Otherwise, what other explanation can there be?
After everyone persuaded themselves in their hearts, they gradually lost interest in Qian Chao. They were also right. Brother Qian's good spiritual roots and qualifications were determined by innateness. Innate things were brought out of his mother's womb. How could he change it? Since it can't be changed, it's better to keep working hard, and strive to make Senior Brother Cheng look past him as soon as possible, so that he can enter the Chengqi Hall. It's just that occasionally when I think about money, I feel a little envious or even jealous.
Qian Chao didn't care what everyone thought about him. He focused all his attention on the art of refining weapons. Not long ago, Senior Brother Cheng Cheng explained the "Six Talisman True Meanings" to him in detail, and then he started Prepare for your first weapon refining.
To put it simply, this weapon refining technique is a method that uses the art of controlling objects as a pen and one's own aura as ink to write runes on the refined spiritual weapon one stroke at a time.
Senior Brother Cheng called it imprinting runes. After Qian Chao understood the principle, he preferred to call it writing runes.
However, there is the biggest obstacle here, which is that spiritual energy cannot be seen or even touched.
Jiuxuan Sect is in the Five Spirit Sect. The Five Spirit Sect is a rare place in the world where spiritual veins gather, which is suitable for monks to practice. However, many monks are in the Five Spirit Sect every day and are in this place where spiritual veins gather. Has anyone ever seen what that aura looks like and what color it is?
In the same way, the runes imprinted on the refining weapon using spiritual energy cannot be seen.
When monks refine weapons, they can only rely on their memory for the runes they have imprinted. Where the previous rune was written, the next one must be written. The two runes cannot intersect and must be staggered from each other. If the two runes are Even if the two runes touch each other, it is said that the two runes will be completely useless. You have to erase it and start over. The key is that it is difficult to find this when refining the weapon. Only after the refining is completed, use The refined spiritual weapon can only be discovered when you try it. If there is a mistake, you can only go back to the furnace and start over.
In addition, imprinting this rune also consumes a lot of spiritual energy and concentration.
The methods Qian Chao used during his own practice seemed strange to others. He melted a green copper ingot into high-temperature juice on the fire eye in the Chengqi Hall, and then used the Object Controlling Technique to shape the green copper into the shape of a piece of paper, which was actually a green copper plate. Then he used the Object Controlling Technique to His own aura wrote runes on the green copper paper.
Qian Chao felt extremely strenuous when he tried it for the first time. Not to mention that the whole process had to be done when the green copper above the fire eye was at high temperature. Qian Chao felt that it was difficult just to consume the spiritual power to engrave the runes. Afterwards, after writing the first rune, Qian Chao stopped his hand to prevent the exhaustion of spiritual power. If he could not continue to hold the piece of green copper, it would fall into the eye of fire below.
Later, even though Qian Chao was careful and well prepared, he could only barely write two runes on the hot green copper in one breath.
In fact, following Qian Chao's method, he used "Yuan Chu Shu" and the "Object Control Technique" together. When his spiritual power was exhausted, he would stop for a moment to recover his spiritual power, and he could continue writing.
There is one most basic rule for engraving or writing runes, that is, when refining a weapon, no matter how many runes are written, once you start, you cannot stop. You must complete it in one go without any pause. You cannot write two strokes and then stop for a drink. Continue writing after tea, or take a breath or two after writing one before writing the next one. Brother Cheng said that the high temperature will make the runes engraved on them slowly disappear, and even if they disappear, the monk's eyes will not be able to see them. The only solution is to write down the runes in one go and engrav them correctly. OK.
However, Qian Chao always felt that something was wrong. He thought that others should not know the path of his cultivation. If other senior brothers and sisters did not accept elixirs or use spiritual stones when refining weapons, they could only use their own spiritual power to complete it in one go. I haven't heard of any senior brother or sister in the Chengqi Hall who is willing to use elixirs and spiritual stones when refining spiritual weapons. They all rely on their own spiritual energy. Anyone who Qian Chao had seen in the Chengqi Hall and called him senior brother or sister could easily and skillfully refine a spirit sword with three runes. Why was it so difficult to write two runes by himself? Putting aside the difference in cultivation level, is there any trick that I don't know about when carving the runes?
He asked Senior Tutor about this question, but the answer given by Senior Tutor Cheng left him a little stunned.
"Junior brother Qian, why did you make the runes so big?" After listening to Qian Chao's question, Cheng Qantang knew what Qian Chao's problem was. When he said this, he had a very funny look. look like.
"Ah?" Qian Chao didn't understand.
"Look," said Brother Cheng, who took out a spiritual sword, but it was of original size, just like an ordinary hairpin.
"The spirit sword was such a big thing when it was being refined. How long and wide can the sword be? There must be at least three runes on it. How big do you think the runes can be?"
"This rune is very wonderful. Well, let me tell you this. If you use a pen as big as a rafter to write a word '一' as big as a mat, then it is just a "one". If you write the word "一" with a feather head If you write it in small regular script, others can understand that it is a single character. The meaning of the big character and the small character is the same, but the amount of ink used is very different. Don’t you think so? The same is true for runes. Those runes consume a lot of energy. The greater the power, the more so, so we don’t seek to be big, but to be accurate. You only need to practice writing the runes so that they are small and clear, without any connections."
Only then did Qian Chao understand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"It's my fault. When I first told you about the "Six Talisman True Meanings", I didn't pay attention to some confusing parts. So, I'll tell you about the key points."
After hearing this, Qian Chao quickly thanked him, and then began to listen carefully to Senior Brother Cheng's "Six Talisman True Meanings" being explained to him again seriously.
