The entire sword-making hall is divided into three parts, one is the spiral stone staircase on the belly of the mountain, the other is the interior of the sword-making hall, and the other part is the core part, where magic weapons are refined, and that is where the Lihuo in the center of the earth exists. . Inside the Sword-Forging Hall, there are many display halls for the refined magic weapons that have not yet been sent to the Treasure Pavilion. In addition, the staff of the Sword-making Hall live inside when nothing happens, so the second part has the largest space. Yes, there are patrolling disciples inside from time to time, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
The sloppy young man pushed open the stone door and took Zhao Jiuge to the second part of the Sword Building Hall. As soon as the stone door was pushed open, an invisible heat wave rushed towards him, making Zhao Jiuge feel the heat. The scenery in front of him was red, and occasionally mixed with fiery red light in some places. That kind of light made Zhao Jiuge feel hot when he looked at it.
As soon as he opened the door, there were two people standing behind the door who looked similar to the sloppy young man. The sloppy young man stepped forward and greeted him familiarly. The two young men also responded with a smile, but their eyes were curiously on Zhao Jiuge. Stared for a moment.
After saying hello, the two continued to walk inside. The sword-making hall at the bottom of the mountain was not as crude and desolate as Zhao Jiuge imagined. Except for the gravel on the mountain road full of ravines around it, the middle area had already been made of mountain stones. The entire center is surrounded by carvings, even the houses are the same, as if the entire house and the mountain are connected as one, and are not made of stones. This made Zhao Jiuge's eyes full of surprise.
The interior was not big, so after going around a corner, the slovenly young man pointed to the largest house in front of him and said, "That's the exhibition hall, and it's also the place to register and submit materials. We're about to get there. Usually this place is It is the busiest place in the Sword Forging Hall, because down there is the place where magic weapons are refined, close to the Lihuo in the center of the earth, and no one else is allowed to enter."
Zhao Jiuge looked at everything here with great interest. Compared to the Treasure Pavilion and Deacon Hall, Zhao Jiuge preferred the lonely atmosphere here.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the largest building in the center. The whole building is greenish brown, the same color as the rocks inside the mountain. It is directly hollowed out and divided into two floors. The first floor is the reception area, and the second floor is also the magic weapon refined here. I didn't have time to send it away. The treasure pavilion is displayed here, and at the same time, the disciples who come to refine the magic weapons have the appearance of participating in the exhibition.
After climbing a few steps, Zhao Jiuge suppressed the excitement in his heart and his hands trembled slightly. This was the first time he had refined his magic weapon.
The slovenly young man seemed to be familiar with this place. He walked directly in and ran towards a half-long counter. The counter was black and only reached the height of a person's waist. It had no patterns and was relatively simple. There were four figures standing behind the counter. A burly middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and bronze skin. Although he was wearing simple black clothes, he still couldn't hide his strong and strong limbs under the clothes. At this moment, he had a proud face and was talking to the three people next to him. Bragging about something.
The other three, one is not very old, his temperament is similar to that of the burly middle-aged man before. He is also wearing the same black clothes. Although his figure is a little thinner, his hands are very explosive. He stands next to the middle-aged man. Behind him, there was a hint of pride that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
As for the other two figures, they were all dressed in the sword-making hall's attire, and they must be the staff of the sword-making hall. They were chatting enthusiastically with the burly middle-aged man. At the same time, they had an envious expression on their faces, and there was yearning in their eyes. of brilliance.
"You are so lucky. Master Zhang Chufeng happens to be here too. He is the top three of the dozen masters who refine magic weapons in the Sword Making Hall. He is definitely among the best. The one next to him is his apprentice, and he is the best." Let’s wait and see if Master Zhang is willing to refine it for you.” The sloppy young man whispered softly into Zhao Jiuge’s ear.
Zhao Jiuge's eyes suddenly lit up. Before he could speak, the sloppy young man continued to speak softly, "There are many kinds of magic weapons. Some are good at refining swords, some are good at refining clothes and armor, and some are good at refining auxiliary magic weapons. And this Master Zhang But they’re all pretty good at it.”
A few words immediately made Zhao Jiuge feel that all roads show knowledge. Even refining magic weapons requires so much attention. Not to mention the exercises and magic techniques, I heard that there are some monks in the Southern Barbarian area who are good at other methods. Not only are they proficient in formations, but they are also good at controlling insect beasts to fight. Yes, so there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and everything has its own reason for existence.
There was no need for Zhao Jiuge, who didn't understand anything at the Zhujian Hall for the first time, to speak. The slovenly young man walked up to the counter and already spoke.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, it's your duty today."
Seeing someone coming, the four people who were talking immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to the door, looking at the sloppy young man and Zhao Jiuge.
One of them, called Senior Brother Lu, had a hooked nose and was a lean young man who smiled.
"Little Sloppy, you brought someone to refine the magic weapon again."
Hearing what Senior Brother Lu said, the burly middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He loved weapon refining. However, when he glanced at Zhao Jiuge's delicate face, disappointment flashed across his eyes. He felt that at such a young age and with such low cultivation level, even if he was refining a magic weapon, he wouldn't be able to refine anything good or come up with any good materials. This didn't matter to him. At his level, ordinary things wouldn't work. Make his hands itch.
"Yes, I'm here to refine clothes and armor." The sloppy young man quickly told what Zhao Jiuge had refined.
When they heard about refining armor, several people present showed mild or severe surprise. After all, there are not many people who refine armor. Unless they reach the Nascent Soul realm, there are more people, because at that time, they can display their full potential. The effect of showing armor.
"Are there so many ores?" Senior Brother Lu's face became serious. After all, the number of ores required to refine armor, even the lowest-level magic weapon, will not be reduced due to quality. He is on duty today and is responsible for registering and recording the refining. He didn't want to make a fool of himself because of some stupid young people who wanted to obtain information about making magic weapons and collect materials.
At this time, the sloppy young man did not make a sound, but turned his head sideways, looking at Zhao Jiuge with questioning eyes, and at the same time hinting at Zhao Jiuge.
Zhao Jiuge immediately understood, took a step forward, and shouted respectfully, "Senior Brother Lu, there is enough ore." Although others have not entered the inner sect, they are still disciples of the outer sect, but after all, they entered earlier than him, and after so many years, their cultivation has improved. It was not something he could compare to, so Zhao Jiuge still shouted the honorific in a friendly manner.
But the young man in black clothes behind the burly middle-aged man had some disdain in his eyes, and the arrogance on his face was even stronger. He didn't think Zhao Jiuge could refine anything good. Although he was refining armor, That also depends on the quality!
Perhaps it was Zhao Jiuge's attitude that made Senior Brother Lu feel good about him. His originally serious face softened a bit, and he said pleasantly, "Come here and register. By the way, hand over the materials for refining the magic weapon. By the way, I need extra Pay 10% of the materials as the cost of refining the magic weapon."
Zhao Jiuge was stunned when he heard the 10% fee, but he soon felt relieved. Since he had already come, he didn't care about the extra 10% of materials. Anyway, the about 300 kilograms of purple stone on his body would definitely is enough. So, Zhao Jiuge obediently walked up to the counter, preparing to register and hand over materials.
Senior Brother Lu took out the jade tube, raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Jiuge, and asked, "What kind of ore are you going to use to refine the armor?" It was originally a casual question, but when he heard the answer, he was stunned. .
"Purple pole stone." Zhao Jiuge said lightly.
In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solid, and it became inexplicably quiet. The four of them all looked at Zhao Jiuge. Two of the four were weapon refiners, and the other two had been busy in the Sword Forging Hall. They naturally knew the materials in this area. When I heard Ziji Stone, my heart was turned upside down. It turned out to be Ziji Stone!
The sloppy young man took in the expressions of the four people in his eyes, and his waist was inexplicably straight. Although it was not his own thing, he bought it by himself, which made him feel very proud. Every time he came here before, these people were beaten. I despise myself from the bottom of my heart.
"Are you sure it's Ziji Stone?" Senior Brother Lu asked again uncertainly.
"Yes." Zhao Jiuge was a little confused as to why these people looked like this.
The young man in black immediately lost his composure, and the arrogance on his face faded a little. He raised his head and glanced at his master, indicating whether he wanted to refine it.
However, the burly middle-aged man did not seem to see the look in his apprentice's eyes. He remained calm and calm, pretending as if nothing had happened. Perhaps out of a kind of reserve for his own body, he did not say that he wanted to be refined, but He wanted to wait for Zhao Jiuge to take the initiative to talk to him. He believed that even if Zhao Jiuge didn't know who he was, the others would definitely know his identity and would tell Zhao Jiuge.
"Junior brother, you may not know how precious the Purple Stone is, but others here may not be able to refine it, otherwise it would be a waste of materials. The Master Zhang next to me is the top weapon refiner in our Sword Forging Hall, why not You can ask Master Zhang to see if he is willing to help you refine the armor. The magic weapon must be of good quality." Senior Brother Lu's eyes are still full of shock at this moment. No one has been visiting the Sword Forging Hall for some time. The main reason is that the old disciples have almost all the magic weapons. The new disciples of this generation do not have the strength to obtain the materials, nor the opportunity to refine the magic weapons. Usually, only two or three people come to refine some ordinary magic weapons, and one or two of the best magic weapons. It hasn't been released in the New Year, so there are no good products in the showroom upstairs.
Zhao Jiuge scratched his head at a loss and looked at the burly middle-aged man. He didn't know how to request for a while, but it took him a long time to say, "Master Zhang, can you help me refine my armor? "
Master Zhang did not respond aloud, but his expression remained motionless and his eyes looked away.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Jiuge understood and continued to say, "I will continue to pay the 10% of the material cost to Master Zhang." The 10% of the purple stone is not cheap. If he had known that these precious ores would be It's traded by the pound.
Master Zhang still didn't say anything. In fact, he had already wanted to agree, but he just wanted to delay it for a while to show his outstanding status.
But his apprentice, the young man next to him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many purple stones do you have?"
"About three hundred kilograms." Zhao Jiuge answered honestly, after all, he was asking for help. But when Zhao Jiuge finished speaking, there were several gasps of air in the venue.
Even the eyes of the young man who had always looked proud were widened, and he screamed strangely in his heart, "Three hundred kilograms, my dear, such a precious purple stone actually weighs about three hundred kilograms," his eyes flickered a few times. Next, I thought about it in my heart, and suddenly a thought came into my mind, and I immediately said, "It takes two hundred kilograms of purple stone to refine the armor, including the cost of refining it."
Two hundred kilograms, Zhao Jiuge frowned after hearing this. Even if he didn't understand anything, he wouldn't ask for so much. However, it might be his first time refining a weapon, so he couldn't tell for sure. Although he felt something was wrong in his heart. , but did not ask immediately.
But just because Zhao Jiuge didn't speak, it didn't mean that others didn't speak. A rough and heroic laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, Zhang Chufeng, you really made a good apprentice. His heart is darker than yours. Even if the Purple Stone is precious, you won't be so ruthless. As expected, you will hand over whatever kind of apprentice you have to the master." ." I only heard his voice but haven't seen him yet.
But when the sloppy young man on the side heard this rough and heroic laughter, his expression immediately became brighter, and he kept muttering, "Master Ou Yezi is here too." After he finished speaking, he murmured to himself.
