Chapter 19: Wang Yuxuan
In another month, it will be the time for the Xuanhuo Sect to recruit new disciples. For Zhou Nan, who has now reached the third layer of the Enlightenment Period, he is sure enough to be selected. Therefore, when others were nervously preparing, Zhou Nan no longer continued to cultivate, and specialized in casting.
On this day, Zhou Nan didn't sleep all night, and specially kept watch by the moat all night. With a large sealable vat, it was filled with hundreds of catties of water. Of course, this water is not just a random load, it is a good thing to say.
First of all, this day is the fifteenth day of the month, when the moonlight is at its thickest. Secondly, it is chosen at the time when the cold is heaviest at midnight. When there is enough cold air in the river water, he uses his current eyesight to collect a tank of water in that very short time and seal it.
As for what to do for Lu? Zhou Nan wanted to build a sword and use his best technique. Then, the quenching water cannot be chosen at will.
In the past, when I learned casting from my father, the water was specially collected from cold dew. But now, within the Xuanhuo Sect, there is enough spiritual energy, so there is no need to work hard to collect cold dew. With the water at this particular time, it's perfectly fine.
The next step is the selection of materials. Zhou Nan wanted to create a cold-attribute sword this time, so he chose cold iron.
Speaking of this cold iron, it is not simple. This iron exists in glacier-covered land, and after tens of millions of years of cold erosion, iron ore contains cold air and is extremely valuable. It is even more rare in the world. But in this Xuanhuo inner city, there are traces to follow.
Although cold iron is precious, it depends on whom. For immortal cultivators, this ordinary cold iron is commonplace. Therefore, after Zhou Nan paid the price of his whole body and a hundred knives, he left with his only cold iron in pain in the boss's obscene smile.
After all the preparations were completed, Zhou Nanxian slept beautifully, and after recuperating his spirits, he began his great business of casting.
The time is chosen at night, in order to have the right time and place.
After rectifying his mind, Zhou Nan followed the casting method of "Soul Refinement", and channeled the casting hammer, casting furnace, and cold iron all over again. However, this time, Zhou Nan felt that although the 'spirit' between them was still extremely vague, he still accurately sensed it by virtue of his cultivation at the third level of the Enlightenment Period.
Fire, refining, forging, refining, shaping, quenching and forming.
According to the steps, Zhou Nan operated steadily. In the sound of a clanging hammer, other materials were kneaded, and a three-foot long sword slowly took shape. Ignoring the sweat on his forehead, Zhou Nan beat hard, the rhythm was like music, cold and lonely.
Maybe it's because of his strength now, and in the time of a cup of tea, Zhou Nan actually forged the long sword very thinly. Through the vibration that came, Zhou Nan's left hand could accurately capture the information of each corner of the long sword.
Then to make fine adjustments, Zhou Nan did his best to devote himself to every detail of the casting. Gradually, Zhou Nan forgot about the world realm, and only the long sword that was constantly being built in front of him remained.
Time passed slowly in the sound of 'ding ding, ding, ding'. Before you know it, the night has passed.
At the end of the night, Zhou Nan didn't know how many times he had tapped. I only felt the hearty forging and did not feel tired at all.
There was a creak, and the door to the blacksmith shop was slowly opened. An old man and a girl quietly appeared behind Zhou Nan, but Zhou Nan didn't know what to do.
And they were a little surprised when they entered the door, but then they returned to normal. After all, no one expected that someone would be casting so early.
Looking at Zhou Nan's casting, the old man and the girl were calm at first, and gradually turned into surprise, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. However, none of them bothered Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan beat and corrected again and again, and I don't know how long it took, until there was nothing to change, and then he stopped. However, Zhou Nan always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't catch it, and gradually, he began to get irritable.
Unconsciously, Zhou Nan violently used his mana, and all of his brains were thrown into the long sword along his left hand. Startled in an instant, Zhou Nan woke up and sighed badly. At this time, a sudden sword roar sounded, attracting Zhou Nan's attention. Looking at the long sword that was getting redder and redder in the flames, Zhou Nan no longer hesitated, slapped the head of the water tank open, and threw the long sword in. Suddenly, a piercing "zizi" sound sounded, and the mist filled the entire room.
When the mist dissipated, Zhou Nan picked up the long sword. I saw that the original three-foot long sword had become two feet long, glowing with a light blue cold light, as thin as cicada wings, and there was no sound when it was waved. Zhou Nan tried to input mana, and suddenly, a cold light rose from the sword, a flash, and a loud "bump" was heard, and the casting furnace just now was overturned, and then it turned into two halves, and sparks shot out.
Seeing this, the girl was fine, but the old man Wang retreated in fright, screaming as he retreated.
Zhou Nan was also stunned by this sudden change, and stood in place, at a loss. In the same way, the old man and the maiden stayed where they were. For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, and only the sound of flames burning.
After a long time, Zhou Nan broke this awkward calm. "Elder Wang, you're okay, right?" Zhou Nan turned around and asked.
Hearing Zhou Nan's inquiry, Old Man Wang was stunned at first, and then pointed at Zhou Nan while pointing to the casting furnace that had been turned in half and scolded: "What are you doing kid doing? What's going on, demolishing the house?"
Zhou Nan smiled awkwardly, "Elder Wang, it was purely an accident, a momentary miss, look at this." He threw his sword over.
After taking the long sword, Old Man Wang's attention turned to the sword in an instant, and as for Zhou Nan's broken file, it had long been left behind. first took the long sword and looked at the light, and then danced twice, not still "tsk" in admiration.
The touch that can't be put down, the performance is so vivid that it almost drools. Looking at the old man Wang's appearance, Zhou Nan had no doubt that if anyone asked him for a long sword at this juncture, this old man would definitely fight with him.
Looking at the old man Wang who was still addicted, Zhou Nan shook his head for a while, it is estimated that it will take half a day for this guy to wake up. So he turned around and cleaned up. For a while, only a lonely girl was still standing there, at a loss.
After a long time, when Zhou Nan finished sorting out everything, he looked at the door. I saw a green-clothed girl with a quiet and beautiful face and eyebrows like ink painting standing there. The girl is in moderate shape, and there is an aura on her body.
For a while, Zhou Nan also wondered when a sweet girl with the spirit of Zhong Tiandi appeared here, and he didn't even notice it. But Zhou Nan didn't think much about it, walked over, and asked, "Girl, what's the matter?"
Hearing Zhou Nan's question, the girl looked at Zhou Nan and was a little surprised, but then said slowly: "Your name is Zhou Nan! Your casting level is good! Your skills are also good!" After speaking, she smiled strangely.
Looking at the girl's strange smile, Zhou Nan's heart sank, and he said slowly: "Yes, I am Zhou Nan." As soon as Zhou Nan finished speaking, he felt a pain in his head.
When I turned around, I saw Old Man Wang standing behind him with an angry face, "What girl, hurry up and call cousin, this is my precious granddaughter." Now worship Master Wu Jing of the Xuanhuo Sect as his teacher, but he is an upright immortal! In the future, you kid will follow the old man and me, and you will definitely have a future. ”
Looking at Old Man Wang's arrogant face, he kept patting his chest, pretending to have an exaggerated expression of anger. Zhou Nan muttered in his heart: "You didn't say it, how do I know Lu Dao?" Of course, this is just thinking about it in my heart, if I say it, I can't guarantee that this proud old guy will turn his face immediately.
After glancing at the girl, Zhou Nan called out "cousin" obediently and seriously, and when she heard this, the girl first glared at Old Man Wang, and stared at Zhou Nan with narrow eyes, "I am a cultivator of immortals, don't care about this kind of vulgar etiquette, don't be too serious." I didn't expect you to have some skills, and you figured it out to the third layer on your own. ”
The girl said that she had no intention, but Zhou Nan listened to it intentionally, and she didn't feel a bulge in her heart, and secretly thought, "No wonder I think this girl is not ordinary, listening to what Old Man Wang said about Master Wu Jing's beloved apprentice, and being able to see through his own cultivation, he must be far beyond himself." ”
Therefore, although the girl said that she didn't have to be serious, Zhou Nan became more and more respectful. hurriedly smiled: "Little brother's cultivation, that is in the eyes of my cousin, it is not worth mentioning." ”
They are all young people, although Zhou Nan is respectful, but he is never flattering, the solitary practice of the Xuanhuo Mountain Range makes his temperament calm and calm, but he does not lose his vitality, and it is very easy to attract people.
The girl Wang Yuxuan usually has a good master in the sect, plus she has a good talent and a very high status. and the beauty of the other is like a flower. There are a lot of suitors. But when they looked at Wang Yuxuan, there was always greed in their eyes, and the girl herself knew the truth, so she was extremely cold to people who were not familiar with her. Inherent in the "cold fairy" is known as the "cold fairy", and among the disciples of the Xuanhuo Sect in the enlightenment period, the name is extremely loud.
But when she saw Zhou Nan's calm eyes, she was surprised. This young man is not ordinary, through the first glance, Wang Yuxuan made up his mind. Therefore, although Zhou Nan's cultivation is much lower than herself, this does not prevent the girl from talking speculatively with Zhou Nan.
I can't imagine that if this scene is known to people who know Wang Yuxuan well, they will definitely envy and hate Zhou Nan to death.
For a while, Zhou Nan and the girl had a good conversation, but they left Old Man Wang there alone.
But Old Man Wang is not a quiet lord, he is good to familiar people, but he is quite unkind to living people. remembers the first time they met, Zhou Nan was taken care of by him. Until now, Zhou Nan is still bored.
No, before the two of them could say a few words, Old Man Wang interjected: "I said, you guys are still finished, your legs are not tired when you stand there, and my eyes are tired when I look at the old man." Stop for a while, go to the back yard, make a pot of tea, and have time to talk to you. ”
For a while, Zhou Nan and the girl were embarrassed by Old Man Wang's words.
