The Song Yuan never showed up for the next ten days or so. Qian Chao originally planned to tell him that he didn't know the object and return the wooden box to him if the Song Yuan came. Since he didn't come, Qian Chao began to concentrate on refining armor for the two senior sisters Fang.
Speaking of which, after Qian Chao learned about the two Senior Sisters Fang from Cheng Qantang, he had a good impression of them and spent a lot of effort refining their armors.
He remembered all the ten senior brothers who appraised the swords and armors for Qian Chao in Chengqi Hall that day. Among them, Qian Chao, a senior brother named Xue Juan, remembered it most clearly. Qian Chao was also very discerning. At that time, he discovered that among the ten senior brothers, this senior brother Xue was the calmest and most talkative one.
Because he wanted to put more effort into these two pieces of armor, Qian Chao inquired about the location of Senior Brother Xue's cave in the inner hall and paid a visit.
This senior brother Xue's cave is actually very simple. It is called a cave but he actually lives in a cottage at the foot of a mountain somewhere in the sect. What he covets is that there is a good earth vein fire eye there, which can facilitate his daily use of refining weapons.
When Qian Chao arrived, Senior Brother Xue was having guests, and several fellow Foundation Establishment brothers were chatting with him. Qian Chao waited for a while and waited for those people to leave before knocking on the door.
After Qian Chao explained his intention, Xue Juan smiled and said: "Junior brother Qian, if you come later, we won't be able to meet each other. Those brothers just came to inform me that there is a dispatched disciple for me to go. It takes about a few years to go back and forth. I was just about to pack up a little and go with a few brothers. Well, let’s do this, Brother Qian.” Xue Juan took out a pen and paper and spread it on the desk. When it comes to refining armor, I also got some experience from books. I will write you a few books, all of which I have read. They are very good. You should go find them and study them. It should be very beneficial to you. In addition, since we are making armor for physical training, we might as well refine a full set of armor. To put it simply, the tighter the defense, the more they will like it. I have also refined some for my brothers and sisters in Houtu Temple. They all do."
After saying that, Xue Juan took up his pen and wrote down the names of several books. After thinking for a moment, he filled in a few more and handed them to Qian Chao.
"You can find the books listed above in the inner hall. Don't go to the library, they are not available there."
Qian Chao took the piece of paper and thanked him repeatedly. He didn't expect that Senior Brother Xue was so easy to talk to, and he didn't expect that the first time he came to see Senior Brother Xue, he would meet him on a business trip. If he had known that, it would have been better if he had come here to ask for advice more often. There was still some pity in his heart.
What Qian Chao envies the most is that there is a good earth-line fire eye in the residence of senior brother Xue Juan, so that he can refine whatever he wants without leaving home. Although there are many people in the Chengqi Hall, it is quite lively. But in Qian Chao's view, refining weapons is sometimes similar to writing articles, that is, being quiet and not being disturbed. He doesn't like the feeling of being looked at and talked about when he is refining weapons. It's still Xue Senior brother, it’s great. At least, if he has a new idea, he can start it right away. Unlike me, who has to go to the Chengqi Hall to get a new idea. Sometimes in order to have some peace and quiet, he They also have to go to Chengqi Hall to refine weapons at night.
Most of the books listed by Brother Xue among the "ten cabinets of books" in the inner hall are in the first nine cabinets. They don't cost Lingshi when they are taken out, but there are also two books in the tenth cabinet that cost Lingshi. However, At this time, Qian Chao no longer cared about these spiritual stones. When he arrived at the inner hall, he explained his purpose to the senior brother who was sitting on duty, paid the spiritual stone and picked up the book. Qian Chao had nothing else to do that day, so he simply did his homework in the inner hall, reading the book in his hand while How to make armors for the two senior sisters Fang.
A few days later, Qian Chao was busy on this day. If two pieces of armor were to be completed, a total of seven to eight hundred pieces of armor would be needed. This amount was quite astonishing. Therefore, in the blazing eye where he was in the Chengqi Hall, The white water vapor never dissipated, and the sound of "chichi" came out from time to time.
The senior brothers who are also busy in the Chengqi Hall have become accustomed to how busy Junior Brother Qian has been these days. They understand that Junior Brother Qian poses no threat to them, because the people who are looking for Junior Brother Qian to refine weapons have never been looking for him in the past. They were refining the spiritual weapons, and many people were envious of the little junior brother who looked blurry in the white water vapor and was busy all the time. Jiu Xuan disciples who are often busy in the Chengqi Hall, except for the three spiritual stones given by their masters, the most they can earn with their own skills in a month is only a dozen yuan. If Qian Chao sells a piece of armor, at least It also requires nearly a hundred spiritual stones, so many people are envious and jealous of Qian Chao, his junior brother.
…
On this day, Cheng Qantang was also teaching the remaining qi refining disciples the art of weapon refining in the yard next door. These days, as more and more people are able to come to the Chengqi Hall, there are really not many people left. , but this Senior Brother Cheng also wants to persuade the remaining few to simply give up the art of refining weapons. It is so laborious and thankless that they might as well learn the Five Elements spell or something. But today was good, finally, another person's object-controlling skills were reluctantly taken by him, so he dismissed the others first, leaving this one alone, preparing to take him to the Chengqi Hall to continue teaching.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qantang had just walked to the small door, one step inside and one step out. When he glanced into the Chengqi Hall, the person stepped back in excitement, causing people to follow behind him. The qi-refining junior brother hit him on the back.
"Senior Brother Cheng" the disciple asked in confusion.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Qantang pulled the disciple back and said, "We can't go in now."
…
It was around Chen time in the morning. Qian Chao had been busy here since Yin time. Because he was so focused, he didn't care about the things around him at all. As the armor pieces made one by one were put into the barrel, the steaming and The white water vapor that came out never dissipated.
Occasionally, he smelled a faint smell of fragrant powder in the water vapor. At first, he didn't care. There were also senior sisters refining weapons in Chengqi Hall. Almost all the female disciples used some rouge powder. This was very strange. common.
But gradually the aroma became clearer. It was not very strong, but it clearly touched the tip of Qian Chao's nose, making him involuntarily sniffle more when he inhaled. If he couldn't smell it, he would involuntarily do it again. He tilted his head to look for this scent.
Although Qian Chao's ambition was not as good as Li Jian's, he was not bad either. He soon noticed something strange about himself. He stopped and looked up.
The water vapor gradually dissipated, and a slender and graceful figure appeared in front of him.
The first thing Qian Chao saw was a pomegranate red dress with a pair of lotus embroidered shoes at the bottom. The dress was made of an unknown brocade. It was slim and form-fitting. It also reflected a bit of scarlet light due to the proximity of the fire eye.
Looking up, the richly decorated brocade belt hangs down. The visitor is wearing a pink shirt with a narrow waist. His hands are hanging down and clasped together, grabbing an apricot-white handkerchief. The pink color of this shirt cannot be suppressed at all. The pomegranate red color of the dress makes the two jade hands exposed at the sleeves even more delicate and fragile. When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, even though Qian Chao was not very old and had not yet been in love, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, "She is such a beauty!"
The woman's eyebrows are like autumn mountains, her eyes are like two pools of still water, her nose is like Qiongyao, her mouth is like a peach blossom before it blooms, her skin is better than snow, and her hair is like ink. What's even better is that the woman's hair is only combed into a slanted ponytail, which makes her look even more lazy and full of charm.
The woman was looking at Qian Chao with curiosity and a slight smile. Seeing Qian Chao looking over, she slightly opened her red lips and asked in a sweet voice like an oriole leaving the valley: "Are you Brother Qian?"
