"This is Mr. Wei, and one of the two major refiners of our Temple of the Three Emperors. In the future, you will temporarily help Mr. Wei and learn the art of refining weapons. Don't worry, you won't really be a refiner. Benguan does not have such a large financial resources to train a full-time craftsman. It is just because I am refining a heavy treasure recently, and I need some temporary help. But as long as you do well during this period, after two or three years, I will I will give you a panacea, personally teach you a thing or two about cultivation, and I will never renege on my previous promise to you!"
Fairy Hualian, who said this to Han Li, was standing in the middle of a secret room full of miscellaneous materials, and beside her was another red-faced old man in his fifties, who looked like he was in the early stage of foundation establishment. , looked Han Li up and down, frowning tightly.
And what else could Han Li say at this time, he could only nod repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Hualian, this nephew really knows how to refine weapons? Isn't his age and cultivation level too low? Didn't he say he's going to Bailu Academy to find a suitable helper for me?" The old man was upset, so Said.
"The refining of treasures this time is of great importance, and it is best not to involve other sects. Perhaps Nephew Han's cultivation and experience are still relatively inexperienced, but with a little guidance from Mr. Wei, it should not be possible to do some refining materials. It's a problem." Taoist Hualian said with a light smile.
"However, even if you refine some materials, you need a certain amount of talent, otherwise the raw materials will be wasted in vain. But since Fellow Daoist Hualian said so, let this kid stay for a while." Helpless, the old man could only Not too happy to say.
"Don't worry, my vision is not so bad. Although this Martial Nephew Han's cultivation is not high, his mana is extremely pure. At least he will not be too bad at controlling mana and refining weapons." The nun said slightly. Pursing his lips, he smiled sweetly.
"Huh! So that's the case, but it does have some potential. It seems that Fellow Daoist Hualian didn't just arrest people randomly." Hearing this, the old man surnamed Wei unexpectedly looked at Han Li again, with a hint of surprise on his face. flashed.
"I have already sent the people that Elder Wei needs, and the progress of the next refinement must be accelerated. Compared with the other two concepts, the progress of this concept is a bit late, so don't delay the big event in the end. Otherwise , both of you and I can’t afford it. Now, Pindao will leave first.” Fairy Hualian finally got up to leave, and she gave another warning before leaving.
"Don't worry, as long as this kid is useful, the progress will not be delayed." The red-faced old man stood up and saw him off. One bite of promise.
After hearing this, the Taoist nun left with satisfaction. So in the secret room, only Han Li and the old man were left for a while.
"You heard what I said just now. No matter whether you are interested in refining or not, I will teach you the way of refining for a month, and then I will arrange tasks for you. As long as you can finish it on time every month You can handle my task at other times. If you can’t finish the task, then let the old man get out immediately, and the old man will find a suitable person to enter the Artifact Refining Hall again.” The old man surnamed Wei did not spare the slightest affection , Said bluntly.
"Yes, this disciple will do his best!" Han Li replied calmly.
"Of course, being a disciple in our Artifact Refining Hall is not without benefits. Not only are some magic tools and ground fire pools in the hall free to use, but also the spirit stones distributed every month are much more than the disciples of other halls. Now you first Let me meet some other disciples of the Artifact Refining Hall, and some materials may need your cooperation to complete in the future." Seeing that he seemed to be satisfied with Han Li's attitude, the old man said with a relaxed expression. Then he took Han Li to the secret room.
So after seeing the other three low-level disciples in the Qi refining period, he arranged a random place for Han Li, and Han Li's cultivation career in Huangqingguan began.
The so-called Artifact Refining Hall is actually a separate courtyard built in the middle of the mountain where the Huangqing Temple is located. There are not too many buildings, except for an Earth Fire Hall and a few Artifact Refining Pavilions, there are no other buildings to speak of. The disciples in the hall even had to live in several caves built against the mountains.
As for the people in the hall, apart from the red-haired old man, the professional craftsman, there were two other middle-aged monks who were eighth or nineth floor of the Qi refining period, who served as the old man's assistants during the crafting. The rest were Han Li and the other four disciples of the Artifact Refining Hall.
Therefore, the place is not big, but compared to these people, it is more than enough.
However, there are quite a few male and female disciples of Huangqing Temple who come to the Artifact Refining Hall to rent the Artifact Refining Pavilion every day, or directly request to refine various artifacts.
Since it is a female temple, nine out of ten of them are female disciples. And these female monks are not all Taoist aunts, many of them are young women with hair and practice, all of them have extraordinary appearance and conversation, just like the ladies of everyone.
Han Li watched coldly from the sidelines, and found that although the three male disciples of the Artifact Refining Hall were exhausted every day, they were fascinated by these female cultivators who came in and out all day long. Knowing that besides trying to curry favor with these female disciples, his own cultivation has stagnated for many years.
A small number of male disciples who came here were mostly appearance disciples who were doing miscellaneous work like the Artifact Refining Hall, some were in charge of studying the magic circle, some were in charge of refining pills, and so on. As for those female disciples, they only need to concentrate on their cultivation.
These made Han Li shake his head secretly, but he wouldn't mind his own business.
Moreover, the reception of these male and female disciples was the responsibility of the other three, but Han Li specialized in refining and purifying the materials. The red-faced old man would set aside an hour every day to explain some basic knowledge of the art of refining to Han Li, and sometimes even do it himself to give Han Li a demonstration.
With Han Li's previous knowledge of cultivation, he naturally didn't think that he could really learn anything from a foundation-building stage craftsman, but just had an attitude of coping. The result was only a few days later, and Han Li was taken aback.
Although this old man's cultivation base is not high, his attainments in the way of refining weapons are absolutely extraordinary. From the perspective of the purified materials alone, this person is proficient in various refining techniques, and seems to have studied the secret techniques of refining weapons of many sects. He has never even heard of some of the skills and knowledge of refining weapons.
After just over ten days, Han Li, who had benefited a lot from it, couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. It seems that Dajin's claim to be the holy place for cultivating immortals in the human world is really not bragging.
Just such an inconspicuous craftsman in the Taoist temple can master so many crafts. Among them, there are not only well-preserved ancient crafts techniques, but also long-term accumulation and precipitation, which were summarized and researched by successive craftsmen. new alchemy technique. The sum of these is far from comparable to the simple refining techniques of Tiannan and Luan Xinghai, which really opened his eyes.
In fact, Han Li's weapon refining skills are mediocre now, and the weapon refining skills he got from Qi Yunxiao back then are already superficial compared to his current cultivation and knowledge. After he joined the Falling Cloud Sect in Chaotic Star Sea, he also read a lot of classics about weapon refining, but there were not many things that were really useful to him. Now that he has encountered such a rare opportunity, Han Li will naturally not let it go easily.
Apart from practicing King Ming Jue quietly at other times, he was extremely devoted to teaching the old man surnamed Wei, and the talent and serious attitude he showed in making weapons made the old man very satisfied. Occasionally, some questions from Han Li even scratched the old man's itches, and he said a lot more without knowing it.
As a result, the old man's attitude towards Han Li gradually changed in a short period of one month, from a stern and cold face at the beginning to a pleasant face later on, which made the other three Artifact Refining Halls who knew the old man's temperament very well The disciple couldn't help being dumbfounded.
Out of jealousy, these three people's attitude towards Han Li is naturally not very good, but now that Han Li is being favored, these three people will not get hotheaded to trouble Han Li, but when they meet each other on a daily basis, their indifference is very natural It is unavoidable.
Han Li was so happy about this. He was thinking of being alone so that he could practice with peace of mind. Naturally, it would be best if no one disturbed him.
A month later, the old man surnamed Wei not only explained to Han Li a lot of techniques for refining materials, but even mentioned some unique refining techniques to Han Li, which Han Li kept in mind.
As soon as his mana is restored, he plans to go to various places in the Jin Dynasty to collect these refining techniques, so that the refinement of the puppet of the Seven Flame Fan and Dayan Shenjun will be more perfect, and the power will be further improved.
But just like the old man said, once the one-month deadline expired, Han Li was immediately given a series of tasks to refine materials. But judging by his cultivation, naturally he wouldn't have anything too difficult for him to do. As a result, Han Li finished it with such ease that he didn't need to worry about it at all, and spent the rest of his time practicing King Ming Jue.
After three or four months, everything went smoothly, and Han Li felt that choosing to join Huangqing Temple seemed to be a good thing.
During this period, the old man surnamed Wei suddenly became very busy. Usually, apart from giving some refining tasks to the four of them a few times a month, they would be refining something in the secret room of the Earth Fire Palace, and there was no trace of them.
During this period, Fairy Hualian also came several times, and each time she hid in the secret room with the old man to discuss something.
Because the two of them are careful enough, every time they talk, they release the restraint of vigilance. Although Han Li is a little curious, but now he only wants to practice the King of Ming Jue, and he didn't take the risk of letting his spiritual consciousness infiltrate it to eavesdrop. .
On this day, in the secret room of the cave, Han Li sat cross-legged with his body tilted, his upper body twisted into a strange posture, his hands clasped together on the futon, motionless, and his body was shrouded in a faint golden light. Shaking all the time.
But if you look closely, you can see that Han Li's skin is now covered with dense bloodshot and thick veins, and the egg-sized bumps are like living things, wandering around the surface of the body, looking strange and abnormal.
And with every tremor of the body, Han Li's face couldn't help twitching, showing an expression of abnormal pain. Beads of soybean sweat kept pouring out from his forehead, as if he was undergoing an extremely intense exercise, and even most of his clothes were soaked and wet.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden light on Han Li's body gradually disappeared.
After taking a long breath, he retracted the formula in his hand and finally returned to the normal cross-legged posture. Almost at the same time, all the abnormal phenomena on the body surface disappeared quickly, and the body returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
