The two stood up to see each other off, and sat down again after Tang Xian left.
"Junior Brother Qian" Cheng Qantang put the wooden box and the small bag together and handed them to Qian Chao, "Speaking of which, I still have something to ask of Senior Brother Tang, so I also want to ask Junior Brother Qian to give him as much money as possible on this armor. Put in some effort.”
What Cheng Qantang wanted from Tang Xian had nothing to do with Qian Chao, but what he said clearly meant that no matter how many spiritual stones Qian Chao could earn from repairing Tang Xian's armor, he would not take any of it.
Qian Chao also understood and took the wooden box and small bag with a slight smile.
"Senior Brother Cheng, don't worry. I will repair this armor carefully for Senior Brother Tang."
Cheng Qantang nodded and said: "Junior Brother Qian, you will meet people like Brother Tang in the future and you can get acquainted with them, but please think twice if you want to have a deep friendship. After all, the difference in our cultivation is too big. With such senior brothers, don’t say that we are not enough to be a wolf accompanying a tiger. Even a young tiger traveling with a wolf is extremely dangerous! Although this Senior Brother Tang has never done any evil deeds, it is inevitable that the senior brothers who are similar to him will do so. There are ulterior motives, the key is that our current cultivation level is still a bit low."
"Yeah." Qian Chao took this into his heart. In fact, he had no intention of making friends with Senior Brother Tang. He looked at Cheng Qantang and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, if Senior Brother Tang is like this, aren't they very dangerous when they go out? ?”
Although Cheng Qiantang has been surpassed by Qian Chao in the art of refining weapons, his eyesight is still good. Naturally, he also noticed the sword wound on the back of the armor just now, so he knew what Qian Chao was referring to, so he smiled lightly.
"Junior Brother Qian, I am barely a mid-level Qi Refining disciple. I have to be careful when I go out. For high-level Qi Refining disciples like Senior Brother Tang, we generally don't go to the places where they go. It's dangerous even if we go together. , not to mention those senior brothers and sisters who are at a high level in Qi refining, all of them are working hard to make plans for foundation building, so if something is found outside that is helpful for cultivation, it is normal to have some disputes. .”
Cheng Qantang's meaning was clear. The sword wound on the back of the armor was caused by a "dispute." However, a disciple like Qian Chao who had just entered the inner sect could hardly imagine how fierce such a dispute would be.
Qian Chao asked again: "I have also heard about the martial brother who refined this armor. Now, martial brothers are all high-level senior brothers in foundation building. I think this armor is at least a hundred years old. Why is this armor so useless?" Has it been used for so long? I see that there are still some old and inconspicuous wounds on this armor. Could it be that it has been used like this all these years? "
After hearing this, Cheng Qantang glanced at Qian Chao, then laughed and said, "Junior Brother Qian, you are standing and talking without pain. Do you think how much materials and effort it takes to refine a piece of armor? Naturally, the price is high when sold to others, and there are a few who can afford it. Think about it again, most of the people who have entered the inner hall over the years are foundation-building brothers. Which senior brother of the inner hall is foundation-building? Are you still willing to take the trouble to refine some low-level armors for ordinary qi-refining juniors to use? Those qi-refining disciples who have armors are either of high status or extraordinary means. Junior Brother Qian, it can be said that there are thousands of qi-refining disciples in the sect. Qi refining disciples, there are armors. Well, there are about a hundred of them. It would be good to have one of these armors. It is natural to cherish things that protect your life. When your cultivation level is high and you no longer need them, you can sell them or give them to others. , so it is not unusual for an armor that is over a hundred years old to be passed down. Speaking of which, I want to say hello to you first. Although I can’t use it yet, I still want to order an armor from you. I'll get the materials. Life-saving things must be of good quality."
Qian Chao laughed after hearing this and said, "No problem. I will use it with all my heart, Senior Brother Cheng. As for the materials, I can also get some uncommon ones in the inner hall. When the time comes, I will use whatever I need."
Hearing this, Li Qiantang also smiled and said: "Thank you very much." After thinking about it, he said to Qian Chao: "There is Senior Brother Wuge in the distance, and Senior Brother Xu Bo is nearby. The two of them entered before building the foundation. In the inner hall, there were many people looking for them to refine weapons at that time. Now you have also entered the inner hall as a Qi refining disciple. Junior Brother Qian, your name will spread soon. Wait until you repair it for Senior Brother Tang. For this armor, it is estimated that some high-level brothers and sisters will come to you one after another to refine the spiritual weapon. It is inevitable that these brothers and sisters will have conflicts with each other. Remember, don’t ask too many questions, just do your job. Among those high-level disciples It’s best that we don’t get involved in the matters during this period.”
"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother Cheng, for reminding me."
…
From Qian Chao's point of view, it is not difficult to repair the armor that Senior Brother Tang Xian entrusted to him. Some monster grabbed it on the chest and damaged more than twenty pieces of armor. It looked serious, but it was not. The leather armor inside was not damaged, but the sword wound on the back of the armor seemed inconspicuous but was the most serious. The sword wound was exactly on the person's vest. The sword not only penetrated the armor piece , and also pierced the leather armor behind the armor. Qian Chao also tried it with his own spirit sword, and found that the ordinary-sized spirit sword still showed half an inch of the sword after passing through the armor and leather armor. After all, such a sword is extremely dangerous for a person wearing this armor.
In fact, if such damage was not caused by the runes on the leather armor, there would be no need to replace it. Unfortunately, the sword was destroying a rune imprinted on the leather armor. In this way, if it was just the thin line on the leather armor, it would not need to be replaced. Sewing small wounds will greatly weaken the protection of the leather armor. Finally, Qian Chao decided to replace the leather armor inside the armor.
Although this is more cumbersome, Qian Chao still feels that he has gained something. After all, it was armor that was refined more than a hundred years ago. Although the techniques and runes used at that time have not changed much from now, the subtleties of making the armor are still different. In addition, this martial arts brother is also considered an inner hall. A famous figure, his skills can be seen in this armor. Qian Chao consciously learned a lot of skills when dismantling this armor.
In addition, the reason why Qian Chao was able to enter the inner hall while refining Qi relied on his own unique Blue Eyes Technique. For the Blue Eyes Technique, he was never sure whether others had a similar method, so he specially used Blue Eyes. Qian Chao looked at almost all the armor pieces of this armor carefully one by one. Finally, Qian Chao determined that this martial arts brother did not know similar spells. It is easy to distinguish this, just like everyone can write, but with eyes open It is different from leaving writing on paper with your eyes closed. You can clearly see it if you look carefully. The runes densely covered on the armor are not neat but comprehensive. This is the case for many armors. It can be seen that this armor should be It consumed a lot of Brother Wuge's energy. Thinking of this, Qian Chao couldn't help but admire this Senior Brother Wuge even more.
As for the runes on the armor, Qian Chao also paid attention to what kind of runes were used for which parts. He also gained some insights by trying to figure out what kind of attacks Brother Wuge refined this armor to use to defend against. Finally, there were two runes on this armor that Qian Chao didn't recognize. For this reason, he went to check it out, which was another gain.
After figuring out the armor, Qian Chao began to repair it. The leather armor inside needs to be replaced. When Brother Wuge refined this armor, he was just practicing Qi refining. The material used in this leather armor is also average. After all, no matter how powerful a Qi refining disciple is, he cannot find such high-level monster skins. , just use the red bear skin given by Lu Pingchuan, but Qian Chao got a better recipe for tanning the red bear skin from the inner hall, and started busy again in his small courtyard.
…
"Ah, why is your yard so smelly again!"
Qian Chao was busy that day when he suddenly heard someone complaining at the courtyard gate. He knew it was Tang Ping without turning around.
"Why did you come here?" Qian Chao looked back and saw that it was Tang Ping, pinching his nose and curiously looking at the red bear skins tanned in Qian Chao's courtyard.
"Senior Sister Ruoyun went to your inner hall to pick up a magic weapon that they had been asked to refine, so I came with you. What are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm helping Senior Brother Tang repair his armor. The leather armor inside needs to be replaced."
"Is this the one?" Tang Ping saw the armor that Qian Chao had dismantled on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Yes" Qian Chao replied.
"Wow, what kind of monster caught this? Why is it so damaged?" The armor pieces removed by Qian Chao on the stone table were still placed in the same position as before, so the armor still looked damaged. It's shocking.
"I'm not sure about this, and Senior Brother Tang didn't say anything about it, but despite how badly damaged it is, it's actually not difficult to repair it." Qian Chao stopped what he was doing and walked over and pointed at the stone table. Go to the leather armor that needs to be replaced and say, "That's where the really serious injury is."
There were a few shallow scars on the leather armor corresponding to the damaged nails. In fact, those were not serious. Tang Ping picked up the leather armor and looked at it, then asked, "How do I repair this?"
"It's not there," Qian Chao said, taking the leather armor, turning it over and pointing it to Tang Ping.
Tang Ping carefully looked at the position of Qian Chao's finger, a thin gap, and asked in surprise: "Is this... a sword wound?"
"That's right." Qian Chao said and picked up another piece of armor from the stone table. That piece of armor was exactly the piece on the back of the armor that was pierced by the sword. ,
"It's really a sword wound." Tang Ping held the armor plate in her hand and looked at it carefully. When she understood it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Qian Chao.
"Yes, it's a sword wound. Look," Qian Chao said, showing the armor to Tang Ping. "The scratch on the chest and the sword wound on the back of this armor are all new wounds in my opinion." , Well, I think they were almost at the same time, one behind the other, with a fierce attack from the monster in front, and a sneak attack from behind with a spiritual sword. Humph, the timing was just right. It seems that it is really dangerous outside!"
Tang Ping asked: "You mean...when the person wearing this armor was fighting a monster, someone attacked him from behind?"
Qian Chao said: "Yes."
Tang Ping pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is it possible that the person wearing this armor was attacked one after another... and the person who attacked him took his armor and asked you to repair it? ?”
"It is also possible, but I inquired privately and found that Senior Brother Tang, who asked me to repair this armor, has not been out for nearly two months since he came back from his last trip. It seems that he is recovering from an injury. And this Senior Brother Tang, Even though he has been famous for so long, I have only heard of his beautiful Five Elements spells, but it seems that he has never used a spiritual sword or anything. Alas, it is useless to think about these things. I can just repair this armor for him. In the future When we go out, we must be a little more careful."
When Tang Ping heard that Senior Brother Tang had been famous for so long, he asked again: "Senior Brother Tang, which Senior Brother Tang?"
"Senior Brother Tang Xiantang, our Jiuxuan disciples are already at the advanced level of Qi refining."
"Oh, I think I've heard of this Senior Brother Tang."
"Look at this armor. Whether you want to wear it or not, when we go out in the future, I will get a few more pieces, one for each of us, just in case."
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this and placed the pierced piece of armor in his hand back on the stone table.
"Is this troublesome to repair?"
"It's not too troublesome. I've been working on it for a few days and it's almost gone." After saying this, Qian Chao thought of something else and turned his head to Tang Ping and said, "By the way, last time I was at Brother Lu's place, Sister Yan mentioned The Flesh Alchemy and Jade Alchemy in the rumors in Qixia Mountain, why do I feel that Qin Suijie’s family’s idea of targeting you seems to be related to such evil arts? Did you say that the Qin family is also in the spiritual world? Based on alchemy."
"Well, almost. There are a lot of evil things in the Qin family. When my sixth grandfather made a secret investigation at that time, he discovered that Wei...oh, Shen Wei, his mother died inexplicably, so in the end he was forced to The Tang family and the Qin family are at odds with each other, and the Qin family also has powerful people in it, otherwise it would be impossible for my sixth grandfather to not find out in the end, so let’s leave these things alone and settle the accounts later when we have the opportunity."
"Well, I was worried that Qin Sui had conquered his own Zhuang Ling Pill and had a hard time practicing it. In the end, he became desperate and might have some evil intentions."
"Don't worry too much about this. If he has this intention, he is really dead. Not only is he dead, but the Qin family will also be in trouble."
Hearing what Tang Ping said, Qian Chao understood that Tang Ping's sixth grandfather had naturally made arrangements to keep an eye on Qin Suijie, so he felt relieved.
