In Shuiyun Valley.
Qian Chao felt that if he asked people to ask about Tang Ping, not many people might know about it. After all, she was still a little girl practicing Qi. However, since she said that her master, Fairy Guhuo, was very famous, there would definitely be a lot of people who knew about her.
Sure enough, he randomly asked a monk and he pointed him in a direction and told him what Senior Guhuo's cave was probably like. So Qian Chao thanked him and followed his instructions to find him.
Senior Gu Huo's cave was a building built close to the mountain wall. Although it was very impressive, in Qian Chao's opinion, it looked more like the gate of a cave. Outside, there is a white stone wall about half a person high that surrounds a quite large courtyard. In the courtyard, there are several exquisite small buildings like wing rooms built near the building. Opposite the door is a large pool of water. The pond has a lot of bluestones exposed out of the water.
But there was no one in sight, and this was the senior's cave, so Qian Chao didn't dare to break in.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Qian Chao heard movement behind him and turned around to look, but was so frightened that he jumped back.
A tall buck with branch-like horns on its head came behind Qian Chao at some point and was looking at Qian Chao curiously. Seeing Qian Chao jump away, it stretched its neck and got closer to Qian Chao. He sniffed his body, then tilted his head and stared at Qian Chao.
Qian Chao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. The buck's eyes were clear and bright. Although he was full of curiosity, in Qian Chao's view, the buck was full of threats. If he made any mistakes, he would be afraid of death. The sharp horns on the buck's head will definitely fork it up and throw it into the air. That girl Tang Ping said that in the Shuiyun Valley Yuling Sect, the spiritual beasts raised by the monks are not just pets, they can be used on the road. Above, this spiritual beast is also an excellent helper when fighting with people. The same is probably true for the buck in front of me.
While we were in a stalemate, I heard someone behind me clapped his hands and said, "Junior brother, what can I do for you?"
Hearing the clap, the buck let Qian Chao go, slowly passed him and walked in.
Qian Chao turned around and saw a young female monk standing behind him at some unknown time. The female monk had a delicate appearance and looked at him curiously. Looking at her clothes, Qian Chao could recognize that this female monk was a As a foundation-building senior sister, she did not dare to neglect and quickly saluted.
"Sister, is Tang Ping here?"
"Who are you……?"
"Oh, my name is Qian Chao... Disciple of Jiu Xuan... I met Tang Ping in Youming Valley... I have something to do with her... I will leave after I finish talking... Please senior sister..."
The female monk in front of her was still looking at Qian Chao up and down, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but the embarrassment of the little boy in front of her was funny.
"Wait a moment and come and sit here. Junior Sister Tang is working hard. I'll call her and she'll be back in a moment."
After saying that, the female cultivator turned around and left.
Seeing that the female monk was gone, Qian Chao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had also seen the Danjie monk, when Senior Tang was beside him, he only felt that he was an ordinary elder with no pressure. It was the first time today that he was stared at like this by a foundation-building monk. The pressure that naturally arose from the huge difference in cultivation made him very uncomfortable.
"Hey, Mr. Qian, why are you here?"
While waiting, Tang Ping suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"You're here, who was that just now?"
"Sister Ruoyu, why did you come to me?"
"It's nothing, I just want to discuss it with you. We might as well go to Brother Li's place early on the day we go to Helou. Didn't you say it's secluded there? There are few people there and it's convenient to talk."
"Well, okay," Tang Ping nodded in agreement, "Then I will take Sister Yan directly to Brother Li's place. When?"
"Let's go in the morning. In the afternoon we'll go to the Crane Tower to watch the fun."
"Okay, that's it."
"Well, then I'll be fine. I'll go talk to Brother Lu and Brother Li."
After saying that, Qian Chao rose up in the air, and a spiritual sword flew out of Zang Da and then came to his feet to support him. "Let's go," Qian Chao turned around and said something before disappearing with the sword.
"It flies quite fast." Tang Ping was a little surprised by the flying speed of Qian Chao's spiritual sword. "I should have stopped him and asked him, and snatched him for fun. Forget it, I won't wait until I get to Brother Li." Not too late."
"Junior sister" Ruoyan saw the little boy leaving on the flying sword, so she called Tang Ping.
"Well, Senior Sister Ruoyuan."
"Did that little guy really come from Young Ming Valley with you?"
"Yes, we entered the inner door together."
"Oh," Ruoyun nodded after hearing this, then looked at the direction where Qian Chao disappeared, "then this little guy is not bad."
"Not bad? Where is it good?" Tang Ping asked curiously.
"Didn't you notice? There is also a small green sign hanging on his master's jade pendant. It is the sign of Jiuxuanmen Chengqi Hall. It takes more than three months to get that sign and still wear it. This little guy is not simple. ah!"
Tang Ping then remembered that it seemed that Qian Chao was indeed wearing that small sign just now. He told himself that he was not qualified to wear it last time they met. It seems that he is definitely qualified now. Well, let's ask again after we meet again. .
Qian Chao discovered that since that day when he showed Senior Brother Cheng the spirit sword he had refined, Senior Brother Cheng rarely took the initiative to give him guidance. However, if he had any questions, Senior Brother Cheng would still tell him everything.
Later, he found out that Senior Brother Cheng only wanted to help these new junior brothers and sisters to refine spirit swords. Since he could refine Spirit Swords, Senior Brother Cheng could let him go. He also answered all his questions, so the relationship between the two was pretty good, and Senior Brother Cheng seemed to have a good impression of him.
If other disciples can refine spirit swords by themselves, they will have to make the decision on their own future practice and weapon refining. There are many senior brothers in the sect. If you don’t understand, you can ask. If you don’t understand, you can ask for advice. Those senior brothers also This is how it all came about.
Qian Chao would go to Chengqi Hall every day. If a senior brother or sister asked him for help, he would happily go to help and take the opportunity to ask for advice. When he had nothing to do, he would refine spirit swords by himself, but in front of others, he would always refine three-talisman spiritual swords. Later, when there were more three-talisman spiritual swords, he would go directly to the inner hall to give them to the senior brothers in the inner hall.
"Junior Brother Qian made this sword...well, it's not bad!"
The person who said this was the senior brother Fang who was mentioned when he was hiding in the hall to rescue Xie Zhi.
Senior Brother Fang looks to be nearly thirty years old. Judging from his appearance, he is an old-fashioned person. He has a square face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes. He is looking at Qian Chao Na one by one. The spirit sword came.
"But the Three Talisman Spiritual Sword Artifact Hall has collected too many, so the price is definitely not high. Are you willing?"
Qian Chao nodded and said: "Junior brother, my cultivation level is still shallow. It is the time when I need more green copper to practice my skills. Therefore, senior brother Fang, I don't want spirit stones for these swords. I just want to exchange them for some ores." use."
After hearing this, Senior Brother Fang nodded and said: "Junior Brother, this idea is right. This is the way to learn weapon refining. Don't rush to earn spirit stones. Well, usually only three three-talisman spirit swords can be exchanged. A piece of ore, but your spiritual sword seems to have been put into a lot of effort, it’s not bad, I’m the one who made the decision, two swords and one ore, here are six swords, how about I give you three pieces of ore?”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang."
I heard from the Qi refining seniors that I knew that these foundation building seniors would be able to sell the spirit swords they refined at a pretty good price, but Qian Chao didn't care.
It's just a three-talisman spirit sword. If he didn't want to attract attention, it wouldn't be a problem for Qian Chao to refine more than a dozen of them a day. Even if it's a four-talisman spirit sword, he can now make several of it. Qian Chao's plan is not When you have reached the third level of Qi Refining, you don't have to consider earning spiritual stones. Anyway, the spiritual stones given by your master every month are enough, so it is more serious to get more materials now.
"Well, Junior Brother Qian, I heard Junior Brother Cheng talk about you. He praised you as a rare talent in the art of weapon refining. I also saw it just now. Your sword is indeed very good. If you need materials in the future, you can use it as much as possible." You can just bring the refined spirit sword, but the three-talisman sword is still a bit low-level. If you can refine the four-talisman spiritual sword, one such spiritual sword can be exchanged for three or four pieces of ore."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang. I will work hard in the future."
After smelting a piece of green copper ore in Chengqi Hall, you can get a green copper ingot. One green copper ingot can be used to refine at least seven or eight spirit swords, so giving the spirit sword to Chengqi Hall does not mean anything to Qian Chao. deficit. However, his two three-talisman swords can only be exchanged for one ore, but the four-talisman sword can be exchanged for three or four ores, which is more attractive.
Later, some time later, when Qian Chao went to find his senior brother in the inner hall, he only had a few three-talisman swords and a four-talisman spiritual sword. Then the number of four-talisman spiritual swords gradually increased, and in the end Qian Chao only had Hand over the four-talisman spirit sword to the senior brother in the inner hall. In this way, the senior brothers in the inner hall praised Qian Chao for his rapid progress in weapon refining skills, which was rare in the family.
"Junior Brother Qian, do you know how many spiritual stones a four-talisman spiritual sword can sell for?"
In a casual chat, Cheng Qantang asked Qian Chao. He knew that the spiritual swords refined by Qian Chao were always given to the inner hall for materials. Although he himself had done this, if he could sell it to his fellow sects, wouldn't it be possible? Earn more?
Qian Chao replied: "I heard that it is usually two or three spiritual stones. Better-refined ones can be sold for four spiritual stones."
"Then why don't you make more?"
"This...Senior Brother Cheng, I don't even have the second-level cultivation of Qi Refining. The spiritual stones given by my master every month are enough for me. Now, instead of spiritual stones, I would rather get more materials to practice my skills. Earn spiritual stones, don’t be in a hurry, there will be opportunities in the future.”
"Well, that's right. Your idea is right, and it can save a lot of trouble."
"By the way, Senior Brother Cheng, how was the incident between Senior Brother Xie and Senior Brother Du resolved last time?"
"How else can we solve the problem? I heard that Senior Brother Du said loudly that he must thank Senior Brother for paying him more than 30 spiritual stones. It seems that in the end Senior Brother Xie took out more than 20 spiritual stones to settle the matter. It can be regarded as a big hemorrhage. Now. Your cultivation level is low now, and I can’t mess with people like Senior Brother Du. You can save yourself this trouble by just handing the spirit sword to the inner hall."
"Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Xiang came to me a few days ago and said that he had a way to bypass the senior brothers in the inner hall and sell my sword outside. As long as I am willing, I can give him the spirit sword I refined. He helped me sell it.”
"Don't listen to him. Everyone knows his methods. That is to say, your cultivation level is low and you can't leave the sect. In the future, when you reach the third level of Qi Refining, you will know what is going on as soon as you leave the sect. Outside the sect, There are several small shops where practitioners like us come and go, including some from small aristocratic families, small sects and even casual practitioners. These people are not high in cultivation and covet the spiritual weapons and elixirs of our Five Spirits Sect. Everything that can flow out of the sect will be taken away by them. What I said to Junior Brother Xiang is to sell it to them. You are not short of spiritual stones, and there is no need to only want the materials. Do you know that Junior Brother Xiang will sell your soul to them? The price of selling the sword to them? It’s nothing to make wedding clothes for others, it’s better to get more materials from the senior brother in the inner hall.”
"Well, senior brother is right. I didn't agree at that time. I only said that the senior brother in the inner hall gave me a lot of materials. Then senior brother Xiang felt that it was a pity."
"Hmph! Junior Brother Xiang, when the junior brothers and sisters I am teaching now can make swords, he will definitely go to those people again. He can make a lot of money from the price difference, but he can't sell it fast. Once the spirit sword is in his hands, he will hold it for a long time before he can sell it, so it’s not worth it.”
Qian Chao nodded after hearing this.
His practice of giving all his spiritual swords to the inner hall to exchange for materials not only prevented the unreasonable Dusha from causing trouble for him, but also made his popularity in the Chengqi Hall much better.
Think about it, if one of Qian Chao's spiritual swords is sold in the sect, then the senior brothers and sisters in the Chengqi Hall will definitely think that since they bought Qian Chao's sword, they will naturally sell one less. go. Colleagues are enemies after all! Now, although Junior Brother Qian has been refined a lot, none of his swords have been sold within the sect. They are only exchanged for materials from the senior brothers in the inner hall. In this way, when everyone in the Chengqi Hall looks at Qian Chao, they feel Made out a lot.
"Junior brother Qian, have you ever tried refining a five-talisman spiritual sword?"
"To be honest, Senior Brother Cheng, I have tried several times, but my cultivation level is still too low. After imprinting the fourth rune, I felt that my spiritual energy was weak and it was difficult to hold on. It seems that it will take some time to refine the Five Talisman Spirit Sword. OK."
"It's pretty good, Junior Brother Qian. I can refine the Four Talisman Spirit Sword when I'm at the third level of Qi refining. You can try to refine the Five Talisman Spirit Sword as soon as you reach the first level of Qi refining. Speaking of which, I really make my senior brother envious.”
"There's nothing to be envious about. Isn't Senior Brother proficient in several Five Elements spells? I know nothing about those Five Elements spells."
"Have you met Senior Brother Xu in the inner hall?"
"I've seen him a few times."
"Well, your path of cultivation is somewhat similar to that of Senior Brother Xu. When I first entered the sect, Senior Brother Xu had already established the foundation. At that time, I heard that Senior Brother Xu became obsessed with refining weapons and reached the point where he could never sleep. I heard that Senior Brother Xu often went out for walks when he was refining his Qi. He relied on the spiritual weapons he refined. This was the same way all the way. Even if there were surprises, there was no danger. So don’t pay too much attention to these five elements spells. Fine work is the right thing to do."
"Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Qian, I heard that you often go to the library to look for books to read recently?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Cheng, I went to the library firstly to broaden my knowledge. Secondly, I can't always refine spiritual swords. You told me that there are many kinds of spiritual weapons that can be refined. I went there to find them. Find out if there is a book like this and read it.”
"Well, have you found it?"
"not yet."
"Hahahaha, you can't find a book like that even if you rummage through the first floor. Here, take this."
Cheng Qantang smiled and handed a jade plaque to Qian Chao.
"This is……?"
"With this jade token, you can go to the second floor of the library, where you can find what you are looking for."
"But...Senior Brother Cheng, you gave it to me, what if you go?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm very good friends with the senior brothers in the library. We don't need this sign when we go there for a long time. Just take it. If someone asks you when you go to the second floor, just say you are helping me get books." .”
Qian Chao was overjoyed. He looked at the flawless piece of jade in his hand, and then said to Cheng Qantang, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng."
"Thank you, I don't read many books in a year."
