Slow and immortal

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Now that the apprentice had accepted Fang Xuanshu, he began to provoke Xiao Yao.

"You have entered my seat. From now on, you will take care of all the chores here. Of course, you can also read the jade slips here at will. As for the homework, you still start with the casting, although your skills are barely eye-catching. , but the difference from refining is not 01:30. From now on, one hundred pieces of slabs will be cast every day, and the teacher will conduct spot checks every few days, so don’t try to be lazy. Graduated from the school. If you have any questions about your attainments, you can find a teacher in the cave at the back of the Zaiqi Hall. Chongrou, do you have any other questions?"

Xiao Yao shook her head and respectfully said: "I don't have any doubts, I will follow Master's instructions."

"Since there is no doubt, let's clean this place and start homework."

After Fang Xuanshu walked out of the thatched cottage with his hands behind his back, Xiao Yao took a closer look at the place.The layout of the thatched hut is very simple. In the middle is a large red carved furnace. It is the furnace that she just brought to cast billets. It seems to belong to the fire attribute.Beside the refining furnace are several refining tools such as tongs and hammers.Except for a relatively neat area around the central furnace, the remaining space in the hut was filled with various mineral materials, animal bones and jade slips.These things are just piled up randomly on the ground, neither classified nor arranged.

The more Xiao Yao looked at it, the more headache she felt. She blamed Master for tidying up at the end. Didn't she mean to put away the pile of things? !

After a moment of sluggishness, she called out the saber-toothed leopard and threw it to the ground: "Come and help me."

The sabre-toothed leopard, which was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened, and when it came out, it was told to clean it, and immediately squinted speechlessly: "...Don't do it! Believe it or not, I will bite you to death?!"

Xiao Yao was not afraid of its threat at all, and tidied up while saying: "If you want me to forge the magic weapon of my life as soon as possible, and improve my cultivation faster, it's better not to play my temper. Otherwise, wasting my time is wasting your own time."

With just one sentence, the sabre-toothed leopard's complaints were sealed, making it angry.She is also the most ruthless when threatening herself!But I still can't refute it, so let her be arrogant for a while, just wait, when it returns to its real body, it will ask her to get it back with interest!Unwilling and unwilling, it silently followed behind her and listened honestly.

One person and one beast were busy like this for several hours, and they were even exhausted, but they couldn't pack one-tenth of their belongings.It's all because there are too many and miscellaneous things in the hut, and there are many unknown mineral materials, which cannot be properly classified at all.Seeing that the sky was about to darken, but I hadn't cast a single piece, so I had to stop temporarily and start casting.

It was noon on the second day after one hundred blanks were cast.Xiao Yao sighed, and had to continue sorting out these ore materials. If she encountered unknown ore materials, she would search and identify them in the jade slips on the ground, and repeated this until sunset before entering the next round of billet casting practice. .

As for the sabre-toothed leopard, although it was unwilling for the first day or two, it still came out to help.But on the third day, it refused to come out again.Xiao Yao had to sort out these things by herself for more than two months before sorting them out.

On the surface, it seemed that she wasted two months on cleaning, but actually she benefited a lot from the process.Now she can distinguish and classify almost all the mineral and animal bones in the mortal world, and tell their characteristics.According to which material can cast which magic weapon is the best, there is a certain judgment.Finally, after reading all the jade slips on the classification of mineral materials and animal bones, she even began to learn by herself to explore the other three steps from casting billets to furnace refining to forming.

Under Xiao Yao's mentality of studying hard to refine weapons and even becoming obsessed with entering the country, time flies by like a flash, two years in a blink of an eye.In the past two years, Fang Xuanshu seldom asked about the affairs of the Bad Qi Palace, and let her make troubles.And Xiaoyao would only go to the hut and back of the cave to ask for advice when she encountered a problem that she didn't understand occasionally. She could try her best to think on her own when she could understand it in the jade slips, and would never bother this strange master too much. Gradually, the two got along and formed A fixed mode can be considered quite harmonious.

Xiaoyao was sitting in front of the thatched hut basking in the sun after completing a hundred pieces of homework that day, teaching herself a jade slip about how to smelt and process monster bones.Just as he was watching the entrance, he heard the sound of a beast crying in his ears. He raised his eyes and saw a tall, thin old man with white hair and white beard standing in front of him at some point.Beside him was a red-eyed golden ape, grinning at her.

Nascent Soul is powerful! !After sweeping her consciousness for a while, she immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Younger Chongrou has seen senior."

The old Taoist looked arrogant, and his voice was cold and angry: "Who are you?! You are so bold, how dare you peep in front of Master Fang's refining room?!"

When Yuanying's mighty pressure came down, Xiao Yao had no choice but to show weakness again, knelt down on one knee and said, "Please calm down, senior, this junior is not here to peep, but Master asked this junior to learn to guard this wretched device hall."

"Your master?!"

It's okay if you don't return, this time the old man suddenly changed his face, and said contemptuously: "Little thief! Don't talk nonsense! My roommate has always had a very high vision! He will never accept apprentices, let alone you. Girls are disciples! Where did the spies come from? Why don’t you recruit them quickly?! Otherwise, don’t blame the old man for being rude to you!”

After saying that, she wanted to take her down, Xiao Yao instinctively stepped back, protecting herself carefully.At this moment, Youdao's impatient voice interjected:

"Brother sect master, why did you suddenly think of my poor tool hall today? Come here, and bully the old man, my new apprentice, are you bullying me that this bad tool hall has no place in the Qi Refining Sect?"

Fang Xuanshu came out of the thatched hut with a dirty body, saw the old man with a bit of impatience on his face, and stood between the old man and Xiao Yao.

The old Taoist looked shocked, took a big step and said close to Fang Xuanshu: "Junior brother, don't joke with senior brother, this girl is just a handyman to help you, right?!"

"Senior brother" Fang Xuanshu scratched his messy hair, but his expression was serious, "When did I make a joke, and when did you see a handyman in my place? She is the one I just hired two years ago. Your apprentice has been given the title Chongrou, Chongrou, come and meet your sect master uncle."

Fang Xuanshu winked at Xiaoyao, and she immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully: "Chongrou met the sect master's uncle, it was Chongrou who was rude just now, I hope the uncle doesn't mind."

The old Taoist was about to vomit blood, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Yao, he just stared at Fang Xuanshu fiercely: "Junior brother, you actually named her?! Did you see clearly that she was wearing the Taoist robe of Xianyumen! Disciples are not eligible to be given titles!! Junior brother, could it be that you want to train her to be your direct disciple?!"

"This is a matter in my hall of trash, so don't bother senior brother. Have you forgotten the No. 40 three sect rules: Do not interfere with the freedom of expelled disciples from the same sect?" How serious the matter is, it can make my senior brother so out of control.

"Hmph! There is still a rule in the sect: you are not allowed to pass on the core skills of the Qi Refining Sect to anyone other than the core disciples! Junior brother, do you abide by it?!"

The old Taoist was furious, who doesn't know that the golden signboard of their Qi Refining Sect is their strange junior brother?I don't know how many well-qualified core disciples in the sect hope that he can teach a few moves.Who knows that he doesn't like any of them, saying that he has top-level arrogance before he has top-level attainments, and he will not accept them.Now they have accepted an outsider, isn't this going to break the root of their Qi Refining Sect? !

Fang Xuanshu was also enraged, and said in a cold voice: "Senior brother, don't spit bloody people, all the exercises of my apprentice belong to the Xianyu sect, and the old man has never taught her any exercises of the Artifact Refining Sect. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up yourself. As for the attainment of weapon refining, hmph, is there a trace of my Fang Xuanshu’s weapon refining ability learned from the core weapon refining method of the self-armor refining sect?”

The old Taoist was at a loss for words, indeed, his younger brother has a weird temper and likes to be unique and find another way.Also because of his aptitude for refining weapons, he has created a unique set of techniques that are different from the refining method of the Weapon Refining School, and his attainments are even better than the original method of the Weapon Refining School, which makes them, the brothers, admire them.That's why many disciples want to worship him and sit down. Even if they can only learn a little, they will benefit for life.

Seeing that his senior brother was blocked and speechless, Fang Xuanshu snorted through his nose: "Hmph, senior brother didn't come here today to quarrel with me just because of this matter, did he? If the quarrel is over now, senior brother can go back You have studied hard in refining mountains."

Hearing Fang Xuanshu's order to evict guests, the old Taoist remembered why he came here, and said in a soft tone: "Hey, senior brother, don't get me wrong, senior brother is just worrying about our Qi Refining Sect, good core disciples don't take sides I want to accept a famous disciple as a disciple, and make a wedding dress for others..."

Seeing Fang Xuanshu glaring at him, the old Taoist hurriedly changed the subject again: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Brother, do you still remember the seven-colored red-tasseled gun that the old monster of the Zhao family asked you to forge last time? Now this gun is out There are some small problems, and the old monster of the Zhao family wants you to fix them."

"Broken? I remember that it was a high-grade Taoist weapon. Show me the thing first, and see where it is broken." Fang Xuanshu's face sullenly seemed displeased.

With a wave of the veteran's hand, a long spear appeared in his hand. There was a halo of seven colors at the tip of the gun, which looked very gorgeous, while the handle made of sandalwood gave off a faint fragrance, lingering around the tip of the nose.The only shortcoming is that a piece seems to be broken at the junction of the gun handle and the gun head, as if it was bitten by something.

Fang Xuanshu took it and only glanced at it, his voice seemed to be calm and unwavering: "How did you do it?"

"Um... I heard that he gave it to his precious granddaughter, and he seemed to be bitten by a wood-eating silkworm raised by his granddaughter. The old monster said, I want you to change this handle into a metal one... let Tianmu stay Feed worms to his granddaughter..."

Before the old Taoist could finish speaking, he saw Fang Xuanshu ruthlessly throwing the spear back into his hand, veins protruding from his hand, and roaring furiously like thunder:

"That old bastard!!! God damn it! You want me to forge it for him again?! Let him dream! You tell him, don't think that I will forge another magic weapon for him in this life! A magic weapon! Chongrou, let's go into the house!"

Xiao Yao was also taken aback. She had never seen her master lose such a big temper in the past two years, so she thought he was withdrawn and severe, not as scary as rumored. Master really has a big temper.

She obediently followed him back to the thatched hut and closed the door, leaving the old Taoist jumping outside anxiously: "Hey, junior brother, I have something to say, but they prescribed a Huishou pill for us, this pill It is no less precious than a high-grade Taoist artifact..."

Fang Xuanshu simply used a sound insulation technique to isolate all sounds from the outside world.

"Chongrou, you have to remember: All my disciples must swear to the heart demons that they will not be humiliated for the rest of their lives! Magic weapons are only made for fighting skills, and they can only be destroyed on the battlefield! The humiliation of magic weapons is the forger humiliation!"

"Yes, disciple, remember!"

While writing it down, Xiao Yao was thinking: My master is really an obsessive craftsman, I'm afraid there will be no one in the world who is more mad at craftsmanship than him!

Seeing his disciple's serious face, Fang Xuanshu's expression softened a little, and seeing all kinds of jade slips, mineral materials, and animal bones neatly and orderly arranged in the thatched hut, he unconsciously smiled.

Walking to the place where Xiao Yao piled up cast blanks, he found that they had piled up like a mountain, and many various weapons and armor made of different mineral materials had been piled up, which was amazing.

"Chongrou, before you know it, you have been an apprentice for two years, and you can start practicing furnace refining next."
