Under the guidance of Zhao Cheng, Ye Bai kept hammering and hammering the piece of black steel in front of him. Hundreds of times in order of priority made his arms sore and swollen.
But he didn't stop. He cherished this feeling of constantly enriching himself. In the past, he had to bear the humiliation and bear the burden even if he learned some basic skills. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he couldn't miss it. Ye Bai greedily absorbed all the water like a sponge.
His persistence was also noticed by Zhao Cheng. If he couldn't bear this little hardship, he would not waste time teaching anymore. Ye Bai made him very satisfied.
"Stop it."
Zhao Cheng waved his hand to signal him to stop, then pointed at the black iron steel in front of him that was being continuously fired and beaten by him and said:
"First look at your piece of refined black iron steel. What's the difference between your piece of refined black iron steel and mine?"
He picked up the material and observed it carefully, and found that there was no way to compare whether it was the luster, purity or the completeness of the iron essence.
The land he created was full of bumps and valleys. The teacher's piece is a neat and smooth rectangle.
When Ye Bai told these shortcomings, he wanted to hear the teacher's opinion and turned to look at Zhao Cheng.
"There is also the stability of the entire piece of material, which determines whether the weapon will break during the forging process. However, if you can knock it out for the first time, your persistence is still worthy of recognition."
Zhao Cheng patted his shoulder in confirmation, then took out a bottle of ointment and asked him to apply it on the sore shoulder.
Ye Bai took the bottle, took out the plaster and applied it on his shoulders. Waves of cool feeling covered the area where the plaster was applied.
"Teacher, what is this? Why does it feel better than pills?"
Facing his question, Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "This is snow spirit mud. The formula is not sold outside. This is a good thing passed down by the ancestor. It can quickly relieve physical fatigue and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy."
"It is indeed a good thing. My sore and swollen arms can obviously feel that they are recovering, and the spiritual energy consumed by the Hundred Styles of Divine Training is also slowly recovering."
Ye Bai shook his shoulders and felt that his shoulders were almost healed under Zhao Cheng's teaching. Zhao Cheng took him to the furnace and taught him step by step the landing point of each hammer.
With Zhao Cheng's teachings, he also made progress a little bit visible to the naked eye, which also made Zhao Cheng happy to have such a spiritual disciple.
As time went by, he no longer knew how many pieces of materials he had smelted. When he picked up a piece of black iron steel again, he skillfully put it into the furnace.
The red ground fire slowly smelted the material. Ye Bai took out the material that was ready for shaping and kept beating it back and forth. The speed was not very fast, but it matched his rhythm. After the forging was almost done, he sent it to the furnace for smelting. , and then pull it out again and again, and a good-looking iron block slowly takes shape.
Phew~
Ye Bai looked at the formed iron essence block and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had taken the first step.
Zhao Cheng's palm glowed red, and he picked up the hot iron essence block and examined it.
A dull black light is applied to the surface, which is the luster of iron essence. The whole thing is not even yet, but the hundred-forged pattern has appeared on it, so it is barely qualified.
"Yes, although it is not precise, it barely meets the standards. You are currently..."
Before Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Feng Ying hurried in and shouted: "Master, a man named Xi Mengyun is looking for you and says he is an old acquaintance of yours."
"knew."
Zhao Cheng nodded calmly, but he noticed that the teacher's fists clenched unconsciously, and then ordered:
"Fourth, you continue to deepen the basic exercises and master the divine forging skills."
After saying that, Zhao Cheng followed Feng Ying to the front. He also hammered iron honestly over and over again. He didn't have many skills to skillfully produce high-grade iron spirits, just familiarity.
As Ye Bai kept using his spiritual energy to perform the Divine Training Hundred Styles, if he replenished it after it was consumed, he felt that the amount of spiritual energy had increased slightly.
This made him hammer harder. Amidst his rhythmic tapping, an elegant woman in her thirties was sitting on the guest chair at the front desk of Wanlianfang. There was also a fourteen-year-old woman next to her. The girl was dressed in gorgeous glazed clothes. She had a worried look on her face and glanced at the woman next to her from time to time.
"Mrs. Xi, long time no see!"
Zhao Cheng came up to him with a slight tangle and sat opposite Xi Mengyun. She glanced at Zhao Cheng who was sitting opposite with a polite face and said calmly.
"Make tea."
Zhao Cheng didn't mind either. He seemed to know the temper of the woman next to him and began to make tea skillfully. However, the little girl beside him was a little restless.
"Zhao Cheng, I have something to ask you."
Xi Mengyun asked Zhao Cheng while he was making tea. Zhao Cheng asked without raising his head:
"What's the matter?"
"This is my daughter Siya. I have something to do next and I can't take her with me. Please help me take care of her."
Xi Mengyun took the tea handed over by Zhao Cheng, stroked Xiya's hair next to him and expressed his intention.
Zhao Cheng did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Xia who was already a little embarrassed by his gaze and said:
"Do we have to go? You have to know that the Jiuzhou Continent is very big, and we can take her very far."
Zhao Cheng glanced at her, and Xia next to her also looked at her mother longingly, as if she hoped that she would really take him far away like Zhao Cheng said.
"There are some things I have to do, otherwise it will always be endless. The only thing I don't care about is her, so I came to you as a last resort. Otherwise, I don't want to disturb your peaceful life."
"I understand, this girl can stay with me peacefully!" Zhao Cheng took a sip of tea and responded calmly.
"Mom, I want to..."
"You have nothing to think about. Just stay here. Mom may come to see you in two years."
Xiya was interrupted before she could say anything. Then she thanked Zhao Cheng and asked:
"I heard that you have accepted a few apprentices. Call them out and let me take a look. As an elder, I will give them some gifts. I can also take care of Ya'er in the future."
"Oh! That's good. These boys will be happy if they hear someone giving them gifts."
Then Zhao Cheng told Feng Ying, who was standing aside honestly, to call them over.
Ye Bai and these senior brothers came to Zhao Cheng and others.
"This is, um..."
Zhao Cheng suddenly didn't know what to call them, so Xi Mengyun directly said kindly:
"Just call me Aunt Yun."
Facing this kind Aunt Yun, Ye Bai immediately followed the others and shouted.
"Aunt Yun can't let you scream in vain. Each of you can pick one of these things."
Xi Mengyun took out something from the ring and said it was a meeting gift for them. Ye Bai and others were very happy when they stared at the gifts in front of them. They gave in to each other and let each other choose first.
"Fourth brother, you go first, from childhood to adulthood."
Senior brother Wan Kong had spoken, and they were expected to abide by it. Everyone also wanted to see which item he would pick first. Ye Bai walked straight up to Xi Mengyun and called Aunt Yun affectionately, asking her to praise Ye Bai for being polite.
There was a small cloud-patterned porcelain bottle in front of him, which seemed to contain elixirs, a piece of silver armor, a mirror engraved with strange words, and a dark yellow stone. Xi Mengyun did not rush him, and he did not tell anyone these things. Whatever it is, whatever you get depends on luck.
Originally, he planned to choose anything at random, but the second master in his mind suddenly spoke.
"Choose the dark yellow stone. The mirror is actually pretty good, but it's a pity that I can't have both."
"Second Master, what's the use of that stone?"
Although Ye Bai was asking the second master, he couldn't be slow. He chose the stone quickly. Any delay would be a sign of distrust of the second master.
"This thing is a bit troublesome to explain, but I can tell you simply that with this thing you can practice a physical training method. I will explain it to you when I go back."
After saying that, the second master went into hiding, but Ye Bai was still looking forward to the physical training methods that the second master said.
He put away his thoughts and watched as several senior brothers had made their choices. Feng Ying chose the silver armor. He said that it could protect the senior brothers. Wan Ming's honesty also made everyone smile.
Wan Ming chose the mirror, and Senior Brother chose the small porcelain vase at the end. Everyone thanked Aunt Yun once again.
"If you want to thank me, please help me take care of Siya more."
Everyone looked at the weak figure on the side and quickly agreed.
Xiya came over in person and bowed down politely to say hello to Ye Bai and the others, and they immediately returned the greeting.
She knew that once her mother decided, there was no way to change it. He could only try to blend in with Ye Bai and the others so as not to worry his mother.
Xi Mengyun left calmly after settling Xia.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
