Qian Chao went to Qixia Mountain a few days ago and asked Yanxuan how the alchemy furnace was. He also wrote down the shortcomings of Yanxuan's use one by one. After returning, he redesigned it. While it was being refined in the Chengqi Hall, Xu Bo, who was sitting in the inner hall, came over.
"Junior Brother Qian," Xu Bo called.
When Qian Chao saw Xu Bo, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Bo nodded, looked at the alchemy furnace refined by Qian Chao, and said: "Junior Brother Qian, please come to the inner hall early tomorrow morning. Be sure to come early so as not to miss it." After that, he went back.
The senior brothers in this inner hall rarely go out for a walk, so after senior brother Xu returned, many people looked at Qian Chao and talked about it.
And Qian Chao felt excited in his heart. If his sword armor was not passed, all he had to do was call him to the inner hall to tell him. Then Senior Brother Xu actually asked him to go early tomorrow morning, and specifically asked "Don't miss it." , Thinking of this, the corners of Qian Chao's mouth turned up, and his eyes were full of smiles.
It should be a good thing, many people were happy to see the money trend and guessed it.
Early on the next morning, Qian Chao arrived at the inner hall early. When he arrived, he packed up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror to make sure they were neat and decent.
"Junior brother Qian, it's early." The first person he saw was senior brother Fang Yanfang. When he saw Qian Chao waiting in the hall, he greeted him with a smile.
"Senior Brother Fang," Qian Chao said after seeing the ceremony, "I dare not be too early."
"Haha, you guessed it? Yes, your sword armor has passed, but it was not shown to you by five senior brothers. Because your cultivation is still shallow and has never happened in so many years, so the inner hall also values it very much. This time I invited ten senior brothers specifically for you, and the rarely used method of 'ten blind selections' was used."
"The method of ten blind selections?" Qian Chao asked puzzledly.
"Well, a very strict method is to mix the sword armor you refined with other sword armors. Anyone who knows you or has seen your sword armor is not allowed to participate. Invite ten more people to pick out these sword armors. Select the ones that meet the standards of the inner hall, and guess what?"
"Brother, please speak."
"Haha, congratulations, junior brother. Among the swords and armors selected by the ten senior brothers, you are among the ten. Haha, it is rare. Congratulations!"
Only then did Qian Chao realize that his sword armor examination was so strict this time. It seemed that it was not easy for ordinary disciples to enter this inner hall.
"Wait a moment. The senior brothers who will take part in your sword and armor examination will arrive soon. Let's start."
"yes"
After a while, Senior Brother Fang Yan found Qian Chao again and took him to a hall. In that hall, only one Xu Bo knew Qian Chao. The other ten people were all different in height, fat and thin. They were all things Qian Chao had never seen before. They must have been the ten senior brothers who were taking the sword armor test at the school.
"Hello, senior brother Xu, hello, fellow senior brothers." Qian Chao saluted politely after entering.
As soon as they saw the money coming in, the ten unknown people had different expressions. They were all strange and suspicious. Some even asked, "Is it really this junior brother? Junior brother Fang, are you not mistaken?" This junior fellow apprentice has such a low level of cultivation, is he really the one who refined that sword and armor?"
The person who answered was Xu Bo. He stood up and said to everyone: "Brothers, that sword armor was indeed made by Junior Brother Qian. This cannot be wrong."
When Xu Bo opened his mouth, these people were silent. After a pause, someone said, "Well, it seems that our inner hall is really full of talents. Good thing, good thing!"
"Well, I know that I am not as convincing as Senior Brother Xu. Oh, you guys! Come on, Junior Brother Qian, let me introduce you."
"This junior fellow student's surname is Qian Mingchao, and he is the one who participated in this sword armor examination."
"Junior brother Qian, this is senior brother Gao Yangao. Come and see me."
"I've met Senior Brother Gao." Qian Chao saluted respectfully, and the man returned the salute with a smile and couldn't help but look at Qian Chao.
"This is Senior Brother Gao Xiuwei, also a Senior Brother Gao."
"Hello, Senior Brother Gao. I've met Senior Brother Gao."
"This is Senior Brother Li Yundao."
"I've met Senior Brother Li."
"This is Senior Brother Wang Xiang"
"This is Senior Brother Zhou Zhong"
"This is Senior Brother Xue Juan"
"This is Senior Brother Sima Xiaoyan"
"This is Senior Brother Zhang Qian"
"This is Senior Brother Li Yong"
"This is Senior Brother Yan Zheng"
Fang Yan introduced the ten senior brothers who were taking the Qian Chao Jianjia exam one by one to Qian Chao. Qian Chao saluted one by one and at the same time secretly remembered the faces and names of these people in his heart.
"Brother Qian, two of these senior brothers, senior brother Gao, as well as senior brothers Yan and Zhang, are good at refining swords. Senior brothers Li, Zhou, Sima and Xue are good at refining armors. Senior brothers Wang and Li are good at miscellaneous weapons. , feel free to ask for advice if you don’t understand anything in the future.”
"Yes, I will inevitably trouble all senior brothers in the future." Qian Chao saluted everyone again.
"It's easy to talk about," said Senior Brother Sima, who seemed to be the oldest among the ten people. "Junior Brother Qian also opened my eyes. The sword armor refined by the second level of Qi Refining really surprised me. I feel so impressed and admired that Junior Brother Qian will continue to practice diligently, and we look forward to supporting each other in the future!"
"Junior Brother Qian," Xu Bo said, "The sword armor you refined has passed the examination of ten senior brothers. That sword armor will be kept in the inner hall. Here is the record of your sword armor examination. Your ten senior brothers have all read and signed their names, take a look at it, and if it is correct, write your name here too."
Xu Bo held a book in his hand. Qian Chao took a quick look at the results. He saw that what he had recorded was his sword armor examination. It was the same as what Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Fang said. He took a pen and wrote down his name as well. He went up and handed the book back to Xu Bo.
"Well, Junior Brother Qian's writing is really beautiful!" Xu Bo took the book and looked at it, and he gave a rare compliment.
Xu Bo put away the book and said to Fang Yan, "Junior Brother Fang, it's your turn."
"Well" Fang Yan became serious at this time, not only him, but everyone in the hall became serious.
Fang Yan opened a secret compartment in the hall, and there was also a book inside. He did not take it out, but solemnly said to Qian Chao: "Junior brother Qian, the ancestors who founded the inner hall of our Chengqi Hall My name and the names of many seniors are recorded in this book. Our inner hall does not pay attention to any red tape. Come and salute all the ancestors and seniors."
After hearing this, Qian Chao bowed to the book in the secret compartment, and the rest of the people also bowed to the book.
After the ceremony, Fang Yan closed the secret compartment and took out a small black wooden box. After opening it, there was only a small round silver-white sign on the black satin surface with a small hole on it.
That is exactly what the inner disciples of Chengqi Hall wear.
"Junior Brother Qian," Senior Brother Fang picked up the small sign and said to him seriously, "This is the sign of our inner hall. Each person in the inner hall has one. After you wear it, others will know that you are a disciple of the inner hall of Chengqi Hall." It’s important to note that the art of refining weapons is extremely complex. It’s easy to get started but difficult to master! For us, entering the inner hall is just a door opened. Don’t think that once you enter the inner hall, your weapon refining skills will reach the peak. It’s far from perfect. Yeah! You know, only when you open this door can you see what it means to have high mountains and long roads, and what it means to have mountains outside the mountains. I hope that Junior Brother Qian will not be arrogant or impetuous in the future, and concentrate on practicing the art of weapon refining, so as to improve the reputation of our inner hall. Carry forward.”
After saying that, senior brother Fang Yan ordered Qian Chao to take off his master's jade pendant. He then took off the green copper sign on the silk ribbon and replaced it with the sign in the inner hall. Qian Chao wears it well.
Senior Brother Xu Bo said from the side: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask, and if you have any troubles, you can talk to us. As long as you don't accept your mistakes, we can make decisions for you and won't let you be bullied. We are in Chengqi Hall. Tang is also well-known within the sect for being united, do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you, senior brother."
"Well, keep this." Xu Bo handed Qian Chao something else. It was a small stamp like a chisel placed in a small wooden box. It was the same as the one used by Senior Brother Fang when he appraised Qian Chao's spiritual sword. Almost like, "You are still cultivating Qi now, and you have to wait until you build the foundation before you are qualified to appraise spiritual weapons for others. However, you can engrave your own name on the spiritual weapons you refine, so you don't have to have other senior brothers appraise them for you." This step. The pattern of your chisel seal has been kept on file in our inner hall, and no one else can copy it."
"yes"
This small ceremony ended here, and the ten senior brothers were sent away with another salute and thank you.
Touching the small brand on the jade silk ribbon, Qian Chao felt both excited and happy. The hard work these days had finally paid off. The small brand was bright and cool, and all the senior brothers had it, which gave Qian Chao a sense of satisfaction. A sense of belonging.
Xu Bo didn't like to talk, so Fang Yan said to Qian Chao: "Junior Brother Qian, from now on you will be a disciple of our inner hall. You already know the rules of this inner hall, so I won't say more. Please don't Just offend it. I want to talk about the benefits of this inner hall to you."
"Senior Brother Fang, please speak."
Fang Yan then told Qian Chao all the conveniences for the disciples in the inner hall. What Qian Chao cares about the most is that since he became a disciple of the inner hall, he got a discount on purchasing materials from the inner hall. In addition, the books in the inner hall are also open to him, but not all are open to him. There is a saying of "ten cabinets of books" in the inner hall. Among them, nine cabinets of books can be read at will. If you want to read the last cabinet, you need Hua Ling. He was stunned, but Qian Chao also knew that with his own cultivation, these nine cabinets of books would be enough for him to read for a long time.
Before Qian Chao left, he asked if there was still spirit worm mud in the inner hall. It turned out that this material was no longer available in the inner hall. However, Senior Brother Xu told him that it was not necessary to add this material to the alchemy furnace, and there were many substitutes. Yes, after speaking, he took out a book from the bookcase and gave it to Qian Chao to read by himself.
After entering this inner hall, Qian Chao's horizons were broadened and his knowledge became much deeper. Many of his previous unrealistic ideas were discarded one by one, such as the one he saw in a book on the second floor of the library. A method that could break through the limit of only six runes engraved on the green bronze spiritual sword. After entering the inner gate, he realized that the method was to learn from the "layered refining method" of refining magic weapons. The auxiliary materials used in this method It is much more expensive than the green copper used as the main material, so there is actually no benefit in refining it like this. It seems that you should pay more attention when reading books in the future to distinguish the authenticity.
After figuring it out, Qian Chao ignored these and just focused on building a solid foundation for his weapon refining skills. However, the "Lihuo Technique" he got from Sister Yan was quite good. After studying it, he found that the techniques in it could also be used when refining the alchemy furnace.
