When Cheng Qantang was entangled with Du Sha, Qian Chao was smelting iron ore in Chengqitang.
He carefully drew a picture in his residence, which was the pattern of the armor he wanted to refine. The style of the armor, how many armor pieces are used, how the armor pieces are connected to each other, and how the armor pieces are connected to the leather lining are all designed by his hands.
In fact, armor was no stranger to him. He had seen a lot of armor in his father's commander's armory before. Whether it was a finished product or a production, he had seen them all. Speaking of which, the armor in the armory was better than " The armor in "The Art of Armor" is much more complicated, but what's in the weapons room is not a spiritual weapon, but just an ordinary protective armor.
According to his own pattern, he tried to refine a piece of armor, but he did not engrave runes on it. He just looked at the size and estimated how much patterned iron was needed. The green copper wire connecting the nail plates to the nail plates is easy to talk about, and there are many green copper ingots in his storage bag. He spent some time thinking about how to sew the armor and the lining of the leather armor, and finally chose the hair on the skins of these monster beasts. Lu Pingchuan did not lose the hair of the monster beasts when he helped him. He kept them all, soaked them in potion and twisted them into thin threads for later use. The threads made of monster hair were extremely reliable, which satisfied him.
Basically, what is lacking now is grained iron. Every day he can exchange some grained iron ore from the inner hall for smelting. He has passed the examination in this inner hall first, and when he goes out to the third level of Qi Refining in the future, he wants to smelt it. The green bronze spiritual swords of several people have been replaced by iron-patterned spiritual swords, which will give them extra protection when going out.
But there was one more thing that he also kept in mind. He originally planned to refine the alchemy furnace that Sister Yan mentioned with green copper, but now it seems that it is simply made with patterned iron. Let Sister Yan use it first, and if there is any shortage, he will Improve again.
…
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when several people gathered again.
This morning, Lu Pingchuan arrived at Qian Chao's courtyard early, and the two of them rushed to Li Jian's bamboo forest together.
"Next time, why don't you all come to my place? Houtu Temple is big and spacious, and there are few people. You can just find a place and no one will disturb you. There are also wild animals in the forest. Let's catch a few ready-made ones and roast them. How nice."
Qian Chao would not refuse this proposal. Anyway, his small courtyard was narrow and cramped, so it was definitely not suitable for a few people to gather there.
"Then it's settled, I'll go talk to Brother Li and the two girls."
The two of them still arrived before Tang Ping and Yanxuan.
After arriving, Li Jian saw Qian Chao and told Qian Chao that his spiritual sword shattered when he broke through.
"Broken!?" Qian Chao was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes," Li Jian said, taking out a small baggage. When he opened it and looked at it, inside were the fragments of the spirit sword that Li Jian found on the ground piece by piece after the sword broke into pieces.
Qian Chao carefully picked up a few pieces and looked at them.
"It looks like it exploded from the inside out, rather than being broken off after an impact."
"Well, the night I broke through, I just danced with the sword. I didn't kill anything with it."
"Brother Li, do you have any special requirements for the swords you sword masters use?"
"This... I have been in Mu Xiufeng for half a year. The senior brothers I have come into contact with all use ordinary spirit swords. I have met a few foundation-building senior brothers, but I have not had the opportunity to ask them what swords they use, but I have not I’ve heard that swordsmen’s swords are different.”
"It's a pity that I didn't see Brother Li use that sword. Brother Li, isn't there anything picky about swords in the "Sword Code" you compiled?"
Li Jian still shook his head. However, he said, "That sword strike during the breakthrough was very difficult to use later. It has been more than ten days since the breakthrough. I can only get close but cannot strike again like that."
Qian Chao took out a six-talisman spirit sword from his storage bag and handed it to Li Jian.
"Brother Li, try this one. The spiritual swords we use are all made of green copper. I can't say that the one I made is the best, but it has reached the limit of green copper. , you give it a try.”
After Li Jian pulled out the spiritual sword, he immediately felt different. A deep chill passed through his robes, making his hair stand on end.
"This sword looks good!" Although Lu Pingchuan didn't use a sword, he felt that the sword in Li Jian's hand seemed much better than the last time he saw it.
Li Jian stared at it for a while and sighed softly: "It's really good!"
After speaking, Li Jian took a few steps and danced a few times. Suddenly, his whole body was filled with sword energy, and the cold light of the spiritual sword pierced his skin. Li Jian stabbed the sword with all his strength for a few times before stopping and repeatedly praised: "What a sword!"
"But Brother Qian, when I broke through with the sword, there was white flame coming out of the sword. I had never seen this before, and I never used it again. But the sword thrust was really exciting. , I sometimes think wildly, if I can hit every sword as well as that one, maybe I can break through again."
Qian Chao listened and said: "I don't understand the mystery of sword energy, but Brother Li, if you can lend me your "Sword Code", we use spiritual energy to control the spiritual sword, and use spiritual energy to activate the spiritual sword. The runes engraved on it seem to be very different from the sword cultivator's control of the spirit sword. If he can understand it better, it will be better to refine the spirit sword."
"No problem," Li Jian said and took out his "Sword Code" from his storage bag. He had read this book countless times and could memorize it. However, I also saw my two green bamboo branches in the storage bag. Then I remembered that I still had something to ask Qian Chao, so I took out the bamboo branches as well.
"Brother Qian, I have something else to ask you, look."
As he said this, Li Jian showed Qian Chao two bamboo branches.
"Is this the bamboo in your forest?"
"Yes, but this bamboo seems a little weird, please take a look."
As he spoke, Li Jian's sword energy was poured into him, and the bamboo branch on his right hand emitted a green light. Li Jian waved his hand, and a green light swept across a large stone. Then Li Jian followed up with another kick, and the stone was cut neatly and smoothly. opened.
At this time, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan also arrived. When they fell, they saw Li Jian slashing open a stone with his sword. When Li Jian stopped, he found that it was actually a bamboo in his hand. He couldn't help but be curious and asked while sitting at the stone table. Lu Pingchuan eating fresh fruit.
"They are studying the spirit sword. The last time Brother Li broke through, the spirit sword broke for some reason, ugh." Lu Pingchuan said and pointed at the small cloth bundle on the table.
The two women looked at the broken sword inside, and naturally they didn't know what happened.
Seeing that Li Jian was able to cut through stones after pouring sword energy into bamboo branches, Qian Chao's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Brother Li, use that sword energy again, don't swing the sword, let me take a look."
Staring at the green light-emitting bamboo branch in Li Jian's hand, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were also curious and came over to stare.
"Well, Brother Li, try using the spirit sword again." Qian Chao said again.
Li Jian followed his words and pulled out the spiritual sword that Qian Chao had just given. The spiritual sword immediately emitted cold light as soon as it received the sword energy.
"This sword...?" Yanxuan saw the spiritual sword in Li Jian's hand and felt that it seemed sharper than the one Qian Chao gave him last time.
"It seems he refined it recently." Tang Ping said after looking at it.
"I can see some things, but it's a pity that I can't see clearly." Qian Chao's eyes were filled with light. He used the blue eye technique to look carefully when he asked Li Jian to do this. As he said this, he turned around and looked Looking at Li Jian's bamboo forest, he continued, "Brother Li, in your bamboo forest, are only the young bamboos useful, while the grown ones are useless?"
He asked this because when he looked with the Blue Eyes Technique, only the young bamboos were glowing slightly on the edge of the bamboo forest, while the old bamboos had nothing at all.
"That's right," Li Jian nodded, "I have tried the grown bamboo, but it will fall apart if it is even slightly exposed to sword energy. It will break like catkins and is really unusable. Only the young bamboo can be used. I am now They all doubt that if the sword used during the breakthrough was thrust out with this bamboo branch, I wonder if the bamboo branch would break."
"Probably not," Qian Chao said. "When I leave, I want to take a few of your young bamboos with me and study them carefully when I go back."
"No problem at all."
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have almost finished their discussion, Tang Ping came over and stretched out one hand to Qian Chao and said "Sword, sword, sword". She saw the new spirit sword in Li Jian's hand and knew that Qian Chao must have prepared a few more. , came to ask for it.
Qian Chao smiled and took out two more handfuls, giving one to Tang Ping and the other to Yanxuan.
Tang Ping said "Cang" and drew out the sword. After looking at it for a while, she said: "It's really good. No wonder you are being targeted. Boy Qian, you were so majestic a while ago. I've heard about it. You Jiuxuan, a bad boy named Du, tried to make an idea for you, but ended up kicking him on the iron plate, which made you lose face, right?"
Qian Chao said helplessly after hearing this: "You have really long ears, you already know this."
"Hmph! This matter has been very popular a few days ago. I also heard what others said. Please tell me quickly and see if it is the same as what I heard?"
When Tang Ping said this, the curiosity of the other three people was also aroused.
Lu Pingchuan interrupted and asked, "Brother Qian, what's going on? Is someone bullying you?"
"It's not a big deal. Our Jiuxuan has a senior brother named Du Sha. He is used to being domineering. He likes to bully others and take advantage of others. I don't know where I heard that I can refine the Five Talisman Spirit Sword, so I came to see him. I wanted to buy one with four spiritual stones, but naturally I didn't want to. Later, one of my senior brothers saw that I was in trouble and went to the inner hall. He invited senior brother Fang who was on duty to help me out. That was it. "
"Is it that simple?" Tang Ping curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then said after sitting down on the stone bench, "It's different from what I heard. What I heard was, 'When Junior Brother Qian heard this, he was immediately furious. , grabbed Dusha's robe and slapped him several times, until his face was red and swollen, and his expression was arrogant. Junior Brother Qian rebuked him loudly and recounted his actions. Junior Brother Qian took Dusha's mind away from him, and he gradually felt guilty. Du Sha was willing to pay a high price to buy the spirit sword to atone for his sins, but Junior Brother Qian refused to secretly throw the Pearl of the Spirit Sword into his hands, so Dusha knelt down and said that if he could get the Spirit Sword, he would be willing to go to Si Guo Tang to be punished for his past evil deeds. Junior Brother Qian thought of this person. She sold him the spiritual sword because she really wanted to repent, but after Dusha got the sword, she actually took a few of her men to court to be punished. Hey, isn't it exciting!"
Qian Chao was already sitting next to the stone table. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the spiritual tea. When Tang Ping said this, it was hard to swallow the sip of spiritual tea. He turned his head and spit it on the ground, and then started to cough. . Lu Pingchuan next to him saw him and stretched out a big hand to pat his back, and said jokingly: "I didn't know Brother Qian was so powerful!"
"No way!" Qian Chao argued, "Who did you listen to? If it hadn't been for Senior Brother Fang at that time, the man named Du would probably have troubled me and slapped me a few times. Don't say I couldn't beat him. , if I had really made a move at that time and violated the sect rules, then Dusha would have lied down and pretended to be dead and then blackmailed me severely. Alas, it was Senior Brother Fang who asked them to go to court. How could I be that big? Power, I don’t know who arranged this for me, and said it like this... Well, it’s a lie when I hear it!”
Tang Ping saw that Qian Chao's words were funny and couldn't help laughing. After hearing what the two said, the others all made a rough guess and couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Ping laughed enough and said: "I didn't believe it even after hearing it. At first, I didn't believe that Junior Brother Qian was talking about you. This is so different from the Qian guy I know. Hey, you have offended me this time." Du's boy, aren't you afraid of his revenge? Why didn't you give in then? You can refine so many spiritual swords, one is nothing."
"You put it simply," Qian Chao said, "our Nine Mysteries are no better than yours. We have the largest number of people. There are thousands of Qi Refining disciples alone. There are many who are just like Dusha and are not easy to mess with. If I had done that that day Let Na Dusha take advantage, and the rest of the evil people in Jiuxuan will come to me, and I won’t be able to bear it!"
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this and said, "Then why don't you think of a way to go head-to-head with him like that?"
"Of course there is a way. I'm doing it now. As long as I can enter the inner hall of Chengqi Hall and have the status of a disciple of the inner hall, let's see who is willing to mess with me." After Qian Chao finished speaking, he saw Li Jian and Yan Xuan talking about this. Tang Tang didn't know much, so he briefly explained the affairs of the inner hall of Chengqi Hall. Li Jian and Yanxuan understood and nodded.
