Five hours later, night fell.
"Chaoyang New Village" next to No. 23 Special Waste Disposal Site.
Although the name sounds nice, Chaoyang New Village is the most dilapidated low-rent housing complex in Fuge City.
Because of the proximity to the tomb of the magic weapon, the environment here is very harsh, and there is a pungent smell in the air all the year round. Even though the main city area is blue sky and white clouds, the place is still gray. There are nineteen low-rent housing complexes in Fuge City. Among them, it is the lowest level, and naturally, the rent is also the lowest.
No matter how low the rent is, not many people like to live next to the garbage dump. Many residential buildings are completely vacant. In addition, they have been in disrepair for a long time, the facade is full of cracks, and the corridors are full of cobwebs. It is simply a ghost town. .
Li Yao is the resident of this "ghost town".
He likes that the place is quiet enough to repair and renovate the magic weapon at home without disturbing others, it is close to the tomb of the magic weapon, and the rent is cheap, which can serve multiple purposes.
His home is a suite of more than 50 square meters. There are two rooms inside and outside.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is hundreds of crystal computers hanging from the ceiling with ropes, like hundreds of small skulls.
Most of these crystal brains are antiques hundreds of years ago. They have lost their ability to calculate, and they were picked up by Li Yao as collectibles. Fabao is very interested.
The small living room is full of physical books that are rare in this era, from "Summary of Magic Treasure Maintenance", "Concise Course of Elementary Flying Sword Refining", "Self-Cultivation of a Craftsman" to "Black Mountain Demon Grade Crystal" Many of them are ancient books hundreds of years ago, greyish-yellow and rotten.
Surrounded by books and brains, there was a half-worn straw mat, which was Li Yao's dining table, chair and bed.
And the magic weapon repair workshop in the back room is full of rare treasures he picked up from the garbage dump, such as the flying sword with cold light, the talisman with the pen that walks away the dragon and the snake, and the elixir with a strange smell...
More magic weapons were disassembled by him into the most basic components, piled up randomly in the corners, and turned into several miniature mountains of garbage.
At this time, Li Yao was holding a silver-white box-shaped magic weapon, his eyes sparkled, like a big bad wolf who saw a little white rabbit, and the corner of his mouth almost drooled.
The flying sword with black wings poked his head behind him, like a curious fat snake.
"It turned out to be the latest generation of 'Stereoscopic Light Curtain Instrument' launched by Qianhuanzong. The market price is more than 20,000 yuan! If it can be repaired, it will sell for 8,000 yuan anyway. Xiao Hei, this time we have developed!" Li Yao reluctantly I couldn't stop whistling.
The black flying sword creaked, and the two wings fluttered up and down, dancing with hands and feet, revealing the same "greedy" smell as the master.
Li Yao's hand trembled, seven or eight strangely shaped maintenance tools appeared between his fingers, some looked like screwdrivers, some looked like small tweezers, there were also thin and long silver needles, and crooked tools that couldn't be named.
"Xiao Hei, how many seconds do you guess?"
The black flying sword "Zhizhi" sneered twice, and drew a "50" in the void with the tip of the sword.
"Fifty seconds? Look down on me!"
Close your eyelids, take a deep breath, and calm down for three seconds. When you open your eyes again, the greed and excitement in your eyes are gone, leaving only the calmness of Gujing and overflowing confidence.
Li Yao's hands suddenly moved, and his ten fingers turned into ten streamers of light, completely covering the silver-white magic weapon. At first, he could still vaguely see the trajectory of his fingertips, but later he could only see a dazzling white glow. "Shushashasha" sound.
Half a minute later, the white light trembled, the "rustling" sound disappeared, and hundreds of afterimages returned to the main body one by one. Li Yao's hands were still placed in the original position, and they did not even move a single bit.
And the silver-white magic weapon "Stereo Light Curtain" has been disassembled by him into four hundred and twenty-five components.
"Thirty-nine seconds, done!"
Li Yao cheered, winked at the black flying sword triumphantly, and concentrated on studying it.
"Tsk tsk, it is indeed the latest model of the light curtain device refined by the 'Thousand Illusions'. The structure is exquisite, and the balance between spiritual power seems to be natural. Holding more than 300 talismans, pulling each other to form more than 20 talisman formations, it is simply a work of art!"
Holding a magnifying glass, Li Yao carefully observed the disassembled main chip, his face was full of pilgrimage fascination, his expression became more and more serious as he watched.
"No... there are not only three hundred talismans, but this main chip seems to have adopted the crystal folding technology, which is to superimpose three chips together, storing thousands of talismans in total, and forming hundreds of three-dimensional talisman formations, which is unbelievable !"
The more he studied, the more broad and profound he felt. Li Yao was completely absorbed in it and forgot the passage of time. After studying for more than three hours, he couldn't resolve even a complete talisman array. Bursts of blackening.
At present, he is only at the level of a "junior magic weapon repairman", and he is far, far away from the level of a "Thousand Illusion Sect" master craftsman.
If there is a problem with this "main chip", then he has no choice but to sell the stereo light curtain as a scrap.
Fortunately, after using the "spirit storage device" to input a piece of spiritual power, Li Yao found that the spiritual power of the main chip was running smoothly, the spiritual path was clear, and the talisman array was stable, and there was nothing unusual about it.
After careful inspection, it was found that the problem was with one of the lowest-grade transistors, which was burnt out due to abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power.
This kind of crystal tube is a standard part, and it is very convenient to replace it. Li Yao quickly found a replacement from the stock at home.
I closed my eyes and silently recalled the disassembly process just now. A detailed structural diagram emerged in my mind, and my hands naturally moved. A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and the three-dimensional light curtain was reassembled!
Using a spirit storage device to input a wave of spiritual energy, a faint blue light glowed from the white shell, like a whole piece of crystal clear jade, and like a spirit with life.
And being swept across his forehead by the blue light, dozens of control runes naturally appeared in the depths of Li Yao's mind.
"Light curtain, turn on!" Li Yao said silently in his heart, and a control rune flashed in his mind immediately.
The blue light on the light curtain gathered into a "Hui"-shaped rune, like a vortex, it spun twice rapidly, and shot a blue light beam from the center of the vortex, condensing into a huge light curtain in mid-air, The light curtain flickered, revealing the image of a middle-aged cultivator wearing a robe of gossip, with every detail and lifelikeness.
Behind this cultivator is a larger light curtain, on which red and green runes, numbers, and arrows are intertwined, constantly beating and changing.
The middle-aged cultivator was expressionless, and Gu Jing said calmly: "I will continue to broadcast financial news for you, and the following is a summary of the stock market - today's biggest news is undoubtedly the 'Wu Ying Jian Sect' announced the latest generation of flying sword drive arrays' Zidian' came out, it is said that after applying 'Zidian', the maximum speed of the flying sword can be increased by 9%, the instantaneous destructive power can be increased by 11%, and the consumption of spiritual power can be reduced by 5% , the comprehensive performance improvement of Feijian is very obvious."
"Affected by this positive news, Wuyingjianpai's stock price has been rising all the way, approaching the daily limit before ten o'clock and maintaining it all the way to the close."
"As for the entire sword cultivator sector, the stock prices of the twenty-two sects including Jujianmen, Extreme North Sword Sect, and South Sea Sword Sect have also been rising. As of the close, the sword cultivator sector as a whole has risen by 5.42 percentage points."
"On the other hand, the stock prices of sects such as the 'Golden Armor Sect', which are more defensive, have been falling all the way. Analysts generally believe that with the successive advent of new talisman arrays such as 'Zi Dian', the flying sword technology will make a revolutionary leap. The current mainstream The battle armor is simply unable to defend against the latest flying sword attack, and as of the close, the stock price of Jinjiazong fell by more than 8%."
"Golden Armored Sect held a temporary press conference after the market closed. Golden Armored Sect's spokesman Elder Heiyan announced that the research and development of the latest generation of 'Star Strike Shield' armor has made a breakthrough, and the prototype will be released within this year. The attack of the sword."
"In the grassland area in the northern part of the Federation, the black nematode plague continued to spread, and it has spread to the spirit beast breeding bases of many beast-controlling sects, with more than 500,000 spirit beasts affected. The rare disaster caused the stock price of the beast-controlling sector to remain low. Running, the stock prices of several beast control sects fell below the lowest line in three years."
"Okay, let's invite the famous stock critic Tian Xingzi to comment on individual stocks for everyone."
"..."
Li Yao watched it for a long time, and found that the picture was stable, the sound was clear, and there were no snowflakes or streaks. Especially, the three-dimensional effect was very strong, making people feel as if they were actually there. It should be repaired.
After thinking about it, he meditated again in his brain: "Switch to the entertainment channel."
With a flash of blue light, the middle-aged practitioner and the red and green light curtain disappeared instantly, replaced by a bustling stadium.
The large stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people is full of seats, the voices are noisy, and the sky is filled with excitement. Under the colorful lights, 100,000 enthusiastic boys and girls raised their hands and shouted a name together:
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
On the three-story main stage, there are dozens of sharp crystals standing in a criss-cross pattern. When the cheers of boys and girls gathered to the extreme, the thickest crystal burst suddenly. A magma-like girl in white clothes jumped out of the crystal, with a guqin that seemed to be made of crystals slung across her waist. She swept the strings with her delicate hands, and what she heard was the clank and magic sound of gold and iron horses!
"If you have a dream in your heart, you must fly arrogantly. The other side of the galaxy is our direction! This belongs to us, Xiu! True! New! Century! Century!"
Like all boys and girls, Li Yao's blood began to boil.
The energetic girl "Lu Yinxi" on the stage is an idol female singer who has just emerged in the past two years. As soon as she debuted, she attracted a large number of teenagers with her cool appearance and explosive singing style. The famous song "Cultivation 40,000 Years" was In just half a year, it became popular throughout the Federation, and it was this song that inspired countless teenagers to embark on the path of self-cultivation.
Li Yao is also her fan, but the reason is different from others, he likes Lu Yinxi because everyone has the same background.
They are all orphans.
Li Yao was born in the No. 23 special garbage disposal site. As long as he can remember, the sky has always been gray and yellow.
What he ate was carrion from garbage dumps, what he drank was polluted stinky water, and he struggled to survive by relying on animal-like instincts and a little "secret" deep in his memory. The most dangerous "vulture" in the world.
If it wasn't for the appearance of "Daddy", Li Yao might hang out in the garbage dump forever, becoming another "fat dragon" or "wild wolf".
But one day six years ago, a garbage boat dumped his father mixed with dozens of tons of garbage, and Li Yao felt compassionate again and dragged his scarred father back home.
Since then, his fate has completely changed.
The old man never talked about his origin, Li Yao only knew that he must be a very powerful magic weapon modification expert. In just five years, the old man taught Li Yao tens of thousands of strange magic weapon modification techniques, and also taught him His knowledge of various basic subjects also paid for him to go to a private high school in the city, so that he could integrate into the normal society.
A year ago, his father died of an old injury, and what was left to Li Yao was a mysterious flying sword called "Black Wing". talk:
"Xiaoyao, Dad, I have been to dozens of Great Thousand Worlds in my life, and I have seen tens of thousands of magic weapon modification masters and weapon refining masters, and your talent is the highest!"
"With the hands of mere mortals, you can repair low-level magic weapons. You are really amazing."
"But talent alone is not enough! With talent alone, you can only repair low-level magic weapons, civilian magic weapons!"
"Promise Dad, study hard, strive to be admitted to university, and become a cultivator! Only by becoming a cultivator can you make further progress in magic weapon maintenance, and even one day..."
"Become a true refining master!"
When the old man said these words, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of light. Li Yao still remembers the imposing scene.
A master craftsman... that is one of the most respected professions in the circle of cultivators.
He wondered if he would disappoint Dad.
Heiyijian silently accompanied him, listening to the singing of the girl in the light curtain instrument like a volcanic eruption, and the two wings kept twisting with the singing and dancing.
After a long time, the boy's eyes brightened, and a nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
"Why do you think so much? It doesn't matter what happens, just fight!"
"Lu Yinxi can grow from a little orphan girl to the most popular female singer in the Federation. Why can't I change from a little trash bug to a real master of refining?"
The boy remembered a sentence he heard a long, long time ago in a place far, far away:
"Dreams are always necessary, what if they come true?"
