Chapter 172: Master and Apprentice (II)
Wang Hao finally left Xingyu behind, Xingyu's parents want to travel the world and entrust their daughter to the fat man to discipline, as a master, Wang Hao has the obligation to teach the apprentice, since he wants to teach, of course, he has to keep the apprentice by his side, as for the ability of Xingyu? Does it need someone else to take care of, the fat man is too lazy to care and doesn't want to care, no matter how strong she becomes, she is also the fat man's apprentice, and there is no mountain in the Danwang lineage, Caolu can barely be said to be the location of the Danwang sect, as the descendant of the Danwang lineage, Xingyu should have stayed here to cultivate, instead of wandering outside all day long.
After a while, Xingyu called for clean water to wash his face, a brand-new basin, and a brand-new face towel, all of which were purchased by Xingyu before going up the mountain, and the idea was thoughtful. It seems that she still knows how to respect the teacher, the fat man is happy in his heart, the apprentice can accept one of this thing, who doesn't want to find a satisfactory one, the fat man has never served the master at the beginning, does this mean that the star language is stronger than himself?
"It's okay to stay, you stay in that room." Wang Hao pointed to the Dan room with his finger, there was no bed in it, only a seat cushion, the fat man was there to guard the Dan furnace for more than 3,000 nights, the advantage was not cold, and there was no need to worry about rheumatism.
Caolu originally had only one room, Wang Hao's residence was built later, and now the apprentice has become a master, and the fat man naturally lives in King Dan's room, and the Danfang is reserved for apprentices to live. After taking two steps, the fat man turned his head and prepared to give a few words. But he heard Xingyu help him say: "When there is nothing to do, I won't disturb you, I will solve it myself." "As long as the fat man is set as an arrogant and stinky fart, and an irresponsible master, it is easy to guess what he wants to say, Wang Hao gives a thumbs up." Smart enough, really talented. ”
Of course, Xingyu will not sleep in the Dan room, she found some materials to transform the Dan room, for the girl, these jobs are a little heavier, but for the girl who cultivates the truth, it is insignificant, if there is no previous disturbance, this is a good place to escape the world.
In less than two days, the Danfang became a chic bamboo building, which was inspired by the Tuoba family, and the former Dan furnace became an ornament and was placed in a corner of the bamboo building. Fortunately, it was not thrown outside to get drenched in the rain, and the Danwang family actually threw away the Dan furnace, which is like throwing a dog beating stick to ask for food, and today's young people forget their roots.
Wang Hao shook his head and closed the pane, not asking Xingyu to come and disturb, it was not entirely for the sake of setting up a fight. He still has revenge to avenge, and he still has to hurry up and cultivate, to put it mildly, his current cultivation may not be as good as Xingyu. So far, even the fat man doesn't know what level Xingyu has reached, maybe it's because she is too good, and she is proficient in formations and miscellaneous studies, and no one pays attention to her cultivation anymore.
Wang Hao summoned the purple flame, refining it at the fastest speed, allowing the energy of the spar to spread throughout the body, and then absorbing it little by little, instead of absorbing it while refining as before, this method consumes the least mental power, and it is only mastered by the fat man after painful experience, blindly overdrawing mental power is equivalent to suicide, and the fat man is still young, happiness has just begun, and he doesn't want to die prematurely.
However, there are two sides to everything, the mental consumption is less, the time consumption is increased, and it can no longer be done in three or five days. In addition to the change of cultivation methods, the extension of time is also due to the improvement of the fat man's cultivation, and the two kinds of leaps from the pneumatic period to the spiritual training period, and the foundation building period to the pneumatic period, are not the same.
After the master's retreat, Xingyu still insisted on practicing for seven hours a day, two hours to study the formation of enlightenment, due to the lack of playing against Chen Xuan, she had nothing to do for three hours a day, and there was little fun in the mountains, she found a tree root and carved a coffee table, enjoying the green mountains and clear waters while tasting tea, and enjoying it.
As for the formation, Xingyu is now less time to study and more time to practice, the Xuanmen formation is broad and profound, but it respects the idea of the unity of heaven and man, and likes to formulate a fixed number for everything, and the Xuanmen formation pays attention to borrowing the power between heaven and earth, whether it is in the pattern or the direction, it is subject to many restrictions. The formation from the summoner tends to be concise and practical, and in terms of energy, it does not require borrowing the power of heaven and earth, but uses a large number of spars, so it can be flexible.
Xingyu skillfully combined the two, taking advantage of the fat man's retreat, she used the grass and reed as a test site, densely arranged hundreds of formations, at most there are wild beasts in the barren mountains and mountains, and it is enough to drive them away, how can she need such a strong defense, she is practicing her own ideas. Of course, what amazed him the most was the nine major formations recorded in the jade slip, which she couldn't integrate with her current knowledge, but every time she explored, she would have a new understanding.
It's a pity that no master came to break into the formation, I don't know if the formation is effective, Xingyu raised the tea bowl and tasted it lightly, the bamboo fragrance and the tea fragrance were mixed together, which made people feel refreshed.
Suddenly, a ball of fire flashed in the distance, although it was only a fleeting moment, it was still noticed by Xingyu. The other party is a master, and he actually broke through two layers of prohibition in one go, and he was not familiar with the formation, but he was not afraid of the impact of the spar energy, and he broke in.
Xingyu was not surprised but smiled, and was looking forward to a master breaking into the formation, someone took the initiative to send it to the door, don't look at the first two prohibitions were easily broken, this formation is like a fishing net, the outside is a cover, you will find that the exit is getting smaller and smaller, and if it is entangled, it will become tighter and tighter. The more you get to the center of the formation, the stronger the attack becomes.
Sure enough, the sound of the flames when they broke out gradually intensified, but the guys outside still ignored the damage of the flames, and went down to the three cities in a row, Xingyu ignored it from the beginning, to a little surprised, if you are not familiar with the formation, even if you have the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, you should retreat at this moment, the other party actually dares to break through all the way, and there is still no intention of retreating, the degree of strength is staggering.
But the method of breaking into the formation is really stupid, if the star language increases the number of spars, this person is destined to die a miserable death. Xingyu suspected that the guy outside was a cow, and it was a cow that had cultivated to the age of more than the Yuan Infant Stage, and the person who came finally broke through the prohibitions and broke into front of Xingyu, although he broke in, he still ended up in disgrace. Interestingly, the person who came was also a fat man, compared with Wang Hao's perseverance and indifference, this person can be said to be an amiable fat man, although he was embarrassed, he was still pleasant on the surface.
After seeing Xingyu, he said with a smile: "I don't know who planted the mine, which made the girl smile." ”
Xingyu forcibly suppressed his smile and said, "I arranged the formation outside, and I made Mr. laugh." Speaking of which, people actually forced her formation, and this strength not only did not lose face, but made her feel a shock.
"No wonder! The formation outside is endlessly mysterious, which has opened my eyes. The other party half-truthed and half-false compliments, although the formation of the star language is exquisite, but unfortunately with his knowledge, he can't see where the subtlety is.
Xingyu is a little strange, how can anyone touch a nail and still be pleasant, and the other party is clearly a master, there are not a few masters in the Xuanmen who have a good temper, and the other party whispered, walked up the mountain, obviously came with a request, and asked bluntly: "Is there something wrong with Mr. coming here?" "There is such a rule in the Xuanmen, you are not allowed to enter the mountain gate, just like you can't ride a horse over someone else's threshold.
The person who came paused, and then lowered his voice and asked, "May I ask if the cold noodle senior is here?" "It seems that I am afraid of disturbing the rest of the people inside.
"What cold noodle senior? I haven't heard of it. Xingyu was puzzled.
"You're new here, aren't you? The last time I was here was five years ago, when I saw a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and handsome, with an extraordinary spirit, and a great name. I wonder if he's still there? ”
The stupid person could also hear that this was flattery, Xingyu shook his head and said: "I haven't seen the person you said, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, you can grow into what you say, and you are also famous for your martial arts, I don't believe it." ”
"Just say that the person you're looking for is a fat man, and she'll know you're describing me." Wang Hao walked out of the grass reed with great energy, he was about to take a nap after finishing his cultivation, but who knew that he heard someone break in.
"The little brother is really still there!" The person who came immediately let go of Xingyu and ran in front of Wang Hao in two or three steps. "I've been to Caolu a few times in the past two years, but I haven't seen you, but I miss my brother."
Wang Hao scolded in his heart, "You want to see me, you want to see Dan, seeing me is seeing Dan." "In the past, there were many people who asked for Dan who also knew where the grass and reeds were, and the fat man in front of him was one of them. So most of the people who got Dan remember Wang Hao's benefits.
"The British name Shenwu is to describe the old master, I am just a little fatter than you." Wang Hao corrected him and sat on the chair of Xingyu, which was also comfortable. After pouring a sip of tea, I found that the person who came was still standing, and said with a wave of my big hand: "Sit down, you're welcome." Then he ordered Xingyu to make two cups of tea.
This is called the new atmosphere of the newcomer, in the past, the people who asked for Dan only stood up, and they were all standing outside, now the fat man has made reforms, and the people who ask for Dan not only have a place to sit, but also have tea to drink, just by virtue of this, the visitors are also relieved, don't look at these people when they ask for Dan when they are low-voiced, they are all well-known characters outside.
After a while, Xingyu brought tea, and then stood silently aside, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, the door must be to ask for Dan, the two are not the first time to meet, after a few words of greeting, the person who came took out more than a dozen materials, put them on the coffee table, with the insight of Xingyu, only two pieces can be recognized, a blood coral and a thousand years of yellow essence, a thousand years of yellow essence needless to say, the legend has taken the fairy grass that can fly immortals, but the blood coral is a hundred times more precious than the yellow essence of the previous year, and it is very rare for the world to occasionally appear one, It still grows in the depths of the sea, and even if it is not a problem for cultivators to collect it, it is not generally difficult to find. Just for this thing, the people who came didn't know how much they had suffered, and there were other unknown materials, at least a dozen, Xingyu didn't dare to imagine the value of these treasures, but he was afraid that the emperors of the past would pour the power of the whole country, and they would not want to collect all of them in their lives.
The person who came relied on his own strength to collect all the treasures in five years, but looking at his eyes, he also knew that these treasures were not easy to come by, Wang Hao had helped him refine a Dan back then, and agreed to refine another Dan for him, so he told him that the materials that needed to be collected, now all the materials are in front of him, and the quality of each piece is impeccable, but the fat man didn't even look at it.
These are materials from five years ago, and they are only materials for alchemy, not including the remuneration for Wang Hao. "As for me, I recently accepted an apprentice and became a master, but I didn't have a gift for him, so I had a headache." Wang Hao was a little absent-minded, so he almost said the word send-off.
The other party hurriedly understood. "Thanks to your help last time, I haven't thanked you yet, well, I see that your apprentice is a pure fire surname, when I was collecting flint mica at Flame Peak, I happened to get a piece of red eyed iron, first give your apprentice as a meeting gift, and when I make time, I will definitely find a magic weapon to thank you, what do you think?"
As a master fat man is incompetent, he doesn't know what realm Xingyu has reached, but he has absorbed the energy of three spars, and he is almost in the training period, and it is time to buy a flying sword for her. The master has to go around again, flying swords, magic weapons are all indispensable, and the richer ones should also replace the treasure bag with a storage ring. These are nothing, but I'm afraid that when it comes to the heartbeat period, the master can't help if he wants to help.
The flying sword can fly like that, anyway, there is Yunyi Fairy who can help refine, and the material has Chen Xuan to help Zhang Luo, and the fat man is too lazy to bother, but someone sent it to the door, and the fat man can't help but be happy in his heart, the original surname of this red eye iron is Xuantie, which has been buried in the center of the earth for tens of millions of years, and the special material will not be melted by magma, but it is an excellent material for refining pure fire magic weapons by constantly absorbing the heat of the earth's core.
This one alone is enough to be a generous gift, and it just happened to be the fat man's mind, although he was happy in his heart, he was still quiet on the surface, and told Xingyu to thank others for the gift. It was not the first time that the two had cooperated, and when the man saw that Wang Hao agreed, he didn't say a word, put down the materials and left immediately.
"Master, do you know how to do alchemy?" Xingyu's eyes widened in surprise, although she had just become a disciple of the Xuanmen, but she had been mixed in the Xuanmen for a long time, she knew what the value of a pill was in the cultivation realm, and what kind of weight an alchemist should have, if there were really alchemists in this world, the people in the Xuanmen talked about Dan and alchemists, but few had seen the real Dan, let alone an alchemist.
"I won't." Wang Hao said categorically.
Xingyu asked puzzledly, "Then why did you promise him?" ”
"Because I want his Akame Iron, this thing just happens to refine the flying sword for you, and your luck is not bad." Wang Hao carefully touched Chimu Tie with his fingers, and then immediately retracted his fingers. "Remember the seven fires I told you? There are three kinds that are suitable for alchemy, namely the fire of Xuanyin and the fire of chaos, I can't do it, but you can. Akame Iron was originally looking for you, and it is normal for you to help him with alchemy. ”
Wang Hao walked towards the grass reed as he spoke, as if King Dan had also said these words to him back then.
Xingyu was about to say something, but suddenly saw the fat man turn his head, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach, because Xingyu knew what the fat man was going to say. He doesn't bother to ask about small things, and he can't help with big things. ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Hao slipped back to the room and went to sleep, no, it should be said that she had gone to cultivate. Xingyu was left alone outside, staring at the precious materials in a daze. Eleven different materials, basically she has not seen or heard of them, but the fat man asked her to refine these things into Dan, the difficulty is inevitably too high, so far, Xingyu does not know what Dan is, she just has Huimeng Dan, and it is only one night, and the next day it will be given to others.
Alchemy is, of course, the use of fire, the fire of Xuanyin, but to what extent to refine the materials, which ones to refine first, and which ones to refine later, Xingyu knows nothing, and some materials are still alive, such as the thousand-year-old Huang Jing, so how can she do it. However, with her wisdom, it is not difficult to think through them one by one.
The fat man hid behind the window and peeped, and saw that the apprentice fell into deep thought, so he lay down on the bed with confidence, all things in heaven and earth, even if the ultimate alchemist is found, it is impossible to name and come from one by one, if an alchemist can only learn knowledge from the master, then this alchemist will never be able to come out of the teacher, and he will not be able to complete his career. And no matter how precious the materials are in the face, no matter how little grasp they lack, they should also keep their normal minds, this is the first lesson that the fat man gave to his apprentices, I believe that such a lesson will definitely impress the apprentices, and they will not forget it for a hundred years and thousands of years.
As for those precious materials, in Wang Hao's opinion, they were insignificant, and in the long life of the alchemist, this tuition fee was really insignificant, so the fat man even hoped that Xingyu would mess up, so that he could be impressed by his first lesson.
After hesitating for a long night, Xingyu finally made up his mind, and the first one to use the thousand-year-old yellow essence sacrifice knife, the Dan furnace was re-packed up, and after careful wiping, it was refreshed, and the light was recognizable. It seems that Wang Hao has burned the Dan for ten years, and he has never wiped the Dan furnace, and in the fat man's opinion, the Dan furnace should have been black. Sweat! Who said that the Dan furnace should be black, the boiler is black.
Although the poor old Huang Jing repeatedly reminded that she belonged to a living creature and should be refined last, Xingyu was unmoved, she was not a person who lacked assertiveness, under the scorching fire of Xuanyin, the thousand-year-old elf ruined the Tao in such a moment.
"Crunch~" Wang Hao pushed the door, but he was still a step too late, and Huang Jing, who was the introduction, was actually killed in advance, which was destined to be a failed refining.
The wood was already in the boat, Wang Hao smiled suspiciously, and exited the room. Originally, he should have stopped the apprentice in time, and since he was doomed to failure, he shouldn't waste the materials, but in order to educate the apprentice, he would rather destroy all the materials.
For the next five days, Xingyu locked himself in his room, repeatedly trying to refine and condense all kinds of materials over and over again, condense, refine and condense again. The fat man came in every two or three hours to have a look, and then sneered twice, and then left.
It seems to be laughing at Xingyu, but in fact, it is from the bottom of her heart, Xingyu is gradually mastering the laws of alchemy, as well as the use of materials, and the speed of progress is amazing, she has not wasted those materials.
