Chapter 170 What he saw
"Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Zhuge Zhao also recognized Wei Zhong's somewhat unfamiliar face, and was surprised and wondering what Wei Zhong was doing here.
Wei Zhong took out the token handed over by Miaoli Shan and said:
"I am a fourth-level weapon refiner, here to assist you in refining the fourth-level puppet."
Zhuge Zhao was shocked when he saw the token:
"Hundred Soldiers Order?"
Wei Zhong turned the brown token in front of him, and when he looked closely, he found that there were various carvings on it. It seems right to call all kinds of weapons the Hundred Soldiers Order.
"It seems that fellow Taoist Zhuge knows this token, so there is no need to explain too much."
At the same time, the sound of the two talking to each other also attracted Huang Yunqi in the palace. come over.
"What happened?"
Looked at Zhuge Zhao with confusion, and was surprised when he turned around and saw the token in Wei Zhong's hand.
“Where did you get the Order of Hundreds of Soldiers, Fellow Taoist?”
“Where did you get it? Of course it was given by the guild master.”
Hearing what Wei Zhong said Huang Yunqi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he seemed to be hesitant.
"Fellow Daoist Wei is a fourth-level weapon refiner?"
"Exactly," Wei Zhong then pointed at the half-broken puppet in the hall and said, "I am not very talented, but I also have some knowledge of puppetry."
The two of them had no idea that this guest surnamed Wei had such abilities, and they both had doubts on their faces.
But the token in his hand cannot be faked. It is a token that both of them have in their hands and cannot be owned by anyone but a fourth-level weapon refiner.
‘It’s just that the guest surnamed Wei came here strangely. He was an outsider. How could the leader hastily insert him into the fourth-level puppet refining team? ’
When the two of them were suspicious, a cloud suddenly rose in the sky of Yunduan Mountain, and the voice of Miaoli Shan came from inside:
"The leader of the meeting has ordered to send the fourth-level weapon refiner Wei Zhong to assist you and the others. People develop this fourth-level puppet..."
Hearing the message from the leader's disciple, the two of them had no doubt that he was there, and the hesitation on their faces gradually disappeared.
At the same time, he gave up his position and invited Wei Zhong in.
Just when Wei Zhong stepped into the palace, Miaoli Shan's words suddenly came to his ears:
"Don't hide it anymore, show off all your puppet skills. This fourth-level puppet is very important, and the guild leader attaches great importance to it."
After saying this, the clouds in the mountains disappeared, and Miaoli Shan was already driving away from the clouds. go.
Wei Zhong stepped into the hall under the leadership of the two men, with a change of expression on his face:
‘What did you see in this Miaoli fir? ’
But in the blink of an eye, this moment of thinking was interrupted by the two people around him.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, I would like to introduce to you," Zhuge Zhao pointed to the people in front of him, "These ten fellow Taoists are outstanding third-level weapon refiners in this temple, and they are all the people who will assist us in refining the fourth-level puppets this time."< br>
Wei Zhong followed its guidance and looked at the people in front of him. They were men, women, old and young, and their appearance was quite mixed.
However, for cultivators, youth or youth is just a matter of thought, and there is no standard for judging the age of a monk.
"Wei Zhong, a poor man, I have met all of you!"
Wei Zhong bowed his hands in greeting, and the ten people's eyes were attracted by Zhuge Zhao, looking curiously at Wei Zhong, who had an unfamiliar face.
"Fellow Daoist Wei is the new fourth-level weapon refiner in the palace. Because he has lived outside the palace for a long time, it is normal that everyone is not familiar with him."
"Fourth-level weapon refiner? How come we have never heard of it?" ······"
·······
Voices of doubt rang out one after another, and Huang Yunqi coughed lightly:
"As evidenced by the Order of the Hundred Soldiers of the Meeting Master , You can’t fake it, Fellow Daoist Wei is a well-deserved fourth-level weapon refiner in our Palace of Artifacts, and his status is similar to that of Fellow Daoist Zhuge and I..."
While Huang Yunqi was talking, Wei Zhong had already displayed his token again.
Sure enough, the voices of doubt dispersed at this time, and everyone looked at Wei Zhong with a little more envy and respect in their eyes.
After the exchange, Wei Zhong pointed to the half-broken puppet in the center of the crowd and asked curiously:
"Did you all refine this puppet together?"
The six people in front of them looked at each other, and Zhuge Zhao also explained embarrassedly:
"This puppet was obtained by the Chamber of Commerce from the secret realm. When Nascent Soul fought with it, it couldn't hold back, so it was destroyed."
Wei Zhong understood and continued to ask:
"How far has your puppet refining reached?"
Although I learned from Miaoli Shan before that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce can only refine third-level high-grade puppets, but that has been several years. , maybe there is progress now?
“Fellow Taoist, come with me.”
As Zhuge Zhao spoke, he led Wei Zhong to several other side halls...
Seeing Wei Zhong leave, the remaining ten weapon refiners asked Huang Yunqi for news about Wei Zhong.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, I wonder where this Wei Zhong comes from?"
The rest of them looked at Huang Yunqi curiously, waiting quietly for the other party's answer.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yunqi did not carefully check the origin of Wei Zhong, but just said:
"This person seems to be a first-class guest from the foreign government. He has just returned to Yunzhou City recently..." In addition, he is very powerful. He fought with the visitor from Puyang and wounded him easily. Even my weapon The formations in the palace fighting field failed to block the aftermath. "
"This, but the huge tremor a few days ago? "
"Exactly. ”
“This...”
All ten people were surprised and doubtful, their faces full of disbelief.
"If I remember correctly, the visitors from Puyang are only in the early stage of forming pills. How can this fellow Daoist Wei, who is at the same level as them, create such a big momentum?"
Let the knot present present When the monks come in the early stage of Dan, not to mention the formation, even if they are allowed to fight on the outside of Lingshan, they will never achieve such an effect.
"Who knows? In short, this person is very powerful, so don't mess with him. The leader of the meeting gave him the token this time and commissioned the puppet to be refined. He must be a really capable person."
At this time, a woman asked with a puzzled face:
"I heard that this person paid the Qi Palace hundreds of thousands of spirit stones for the martial arts fight. Is it true?"
The person beside him turned his head and asked doubtfully:
"Really?" Is there such a thing?”
“It’s normal for you to be immersed in this palace and not ask about secular affairs. I just heard about it from my disciple.”
“It’s true. .”
Huang Yunqi made the final decision:
“For a fourth-level weapon refiner, what is so mysterious about these 100,000 spirit stones?”
Everyone who heard this could only smile bitterly in their hearts:
< br>'You are a fourth-level weapon refiner, so it is easy to earn spiritual stones, but for us, a third-level weapon refiner, one hundred thousand spiritual stones is not a small amount. ’
·······
Wei Zhong followed Zhuge Zhao and walked around the side halls, and saw many surprising sights.
“So, you haven’t started refining the fourth-order puppet yet?”
Zhuge Zhao was a little embarrassed:
“That’s true.”
“ In addition to refining the missing spiritual materials of the divine box, we also have disputes over the refining of its main body, and we have never been able to come up with a reliable solution.”
Zhuge Zhao looked at Wei Zhong seriously. After the guidance and conversation just now, he already understood that Wei Zhong was indeed very accomplished in puppetry, and his level even vaguely surpassed his own.
‘It makes sense for the leader to send him here. ’ Wei Zhong rubbed his hands and looked at the busy Qi Palace disciples in front of him, who were refining the puppets on the “assembly line”.
Pointing at the puppet fragments in the basket in the distance, Wei Zhong asked casually:
"It seems that there are only fragments of first- and second-order puppets here?"
"Fellow Taoist, I don't know that the level of these disciples of the Weapon Palace is not high enough. They can only refine low-level puppets. We still need to wait for the third-level puppets.
"But recently, for the fourth-level puppets, , we put this aside and concentrated on studying the fourth-level broken puppet. "
Wei Zhong nodded. The products coming out of these assembly lines are indeed of average quality. From Wei Zhong's point of view, the quality is not good.
'The level is not reliable enough. I just don't know those third-level refining products." What is the level of the weapon master? '
Wei Zhong and Zhuge Zhao returned to the main hall and saw everyone arguing about the method of the fourth-level puppet.
"The spine is the core of the puppet. How can we burn the attack spirit method on it, for the stability of the puppet..."
"For the sake of stability, the puppet's feet can also abandon the style of human feet, birds The claws can also be..."
Looking at this lively scene, Wei Zhong stretched out his hands and clapped, attracting everyone's attention:
"Sorry to disturb you. "I wonder if you can refine a puppet independently, what is the specific grade?"
Hearing this, not only the ten third-level weapon refiners, but also Huang Yunqi showed hesitation.
Wei Zhong was startled for a moment, and then he heard Zhuge Zhao next to him say:
"Fellow Taoist Wei, most of these Taoist friends are drawn from the Qi Palace, and they are not proficient in the art of puppetry."
" What does this mean? Is it a puppet that you cannot refine independently?"
It seems that Wei Zhong spoke louder, and many people in front of him turned red, as if they were insulted, but relying on Wei Zhong was so powerful that he dared not speak out when he was angry.
“No. Although Fellow Taoist Wei is proficient in this Tao, please do not underestimate all fellow Taoists.”
He pointed to an old man and a young woman among the ten people and said:
“These two Daoyou Yang and Liu are people from the Puppet Hall. Although they can independently refine third-level low-grade puppets, , but there are still quite a few flaws.
“For example, the drawing of runes on the puppet’s limbs, and the insufficient strength of the puppet’s spine and even torso.
“These problems can be remedied with the help of other fellow Taoists. For example, this fellow Taoist Fang is particularly proficient in the art of drawing runes. He is only inferior to me and fellow Taoist Huang. Another example is... ·”
Zhuge Zhao seemed to be worried that Wei Zhong would underestimate the ten third-level weapon refiners in front of him, and pointed out their advantages one by one.
After listening, Wei Zhong immediately understood that most of these people had their own unique advantages in puppet refining or magic weapon production.
Just like the previous assembly line, each is responsible for a certain part of the puppet refining work.
With the two puppet masters Yang and Liu as the main body, and others assisting them in refining, the level of puppets can be upgraded from the third level of low-grade to mid-grade or even high-grade.
This model is different from Wei Zhong's overarching and independent refining. But it is indeed similar to the refining method imagined by Wei Zhong for big forces.
‘It is very rare for ordinary people to master a hundred arts. There are differences within this path, and each practice has its own strengths. If they can be combined, they can break through their original levels. ’
The few people in front of me fit this assumption.
After talking about the ten people, Zhuge Zhao then talked about himself and Huang Yunqi:
"Although I can independently refine third-level high-grade puppets, the finished product is also ordinary, and I have to rely on the help of fellow Taoists. , can it be promoted to a high-quality product.
"Huang Daoyougui is a senior fourth-level weapon refiner, and has only been involved in puppetry for twenty or thirty years, so he can use his own understanding to provide us with various methods. Wonderful thoughts..."
After saying that, Wei Zhong also understood the meaning of Zhuge Zhao's words.
The reason why the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was able to advance the art of puppetry so quickly was because of the cooperation of everyone, rather than individual efforts alone.
It’s just that Wei Zhong is used to studying alone, and is somewhat uncomfortable with this model.
Feeling the Hundred Soldiers Order in his arms, Wei Zhong thought:
'Perhaps it would be a good choice to use the power of these people in front of him to develop the fourth-level puppetry technique. I just want to It's not easy to get along with everyone. ’
“I have some misunderstandings about you, and I would like to apologize to you...
"From now on, as colleagues, we still need to work together..."
Wei Zhong broke the deadlock with an apology, and then devoted himself to the discussion with everyone about the refining of the fourth-order puppet. in the planning.
·······
The refining of the fourth-level puppet is extremely difficult. It lacks the main spiritual material and cannot be refined. And just the planning plan is enough to make everyone blush.
Some people advocate striving for excellence and refining it to perfection.
Some people think that they can settle for the next best thing and just refine it to the fourth level. It doesn't matter if all its powers are compromised.
Wei Zhong was mixed in various waves of thought, absorbing and learning various unique craftsmanship from everyone, and his weapon refining methods increased rapidly.
After half a year, the puppet and magic weapon refining have made significant progress.
But at this time, Wei Zhong had to break away from this learning state.
Because the Wang family’s banquet will start soon.
Wei Zhong cupped his hands and bid farewell to everyone, who all paid farewell to Wei Zhong.
In just a few months, Wei Zhong has deeply impressed everyone with his puppetry and weapon refining skills.
Even Zhuge Zhao said:
"When it comes to making puppets, I am not as good as Brother Wei."
Leaving the palace, Wei Zhong saw Miaoli Shan.
The latter had already arranged the team to go to the Wang family and took the lead.
"How have you gotten along with your colleagues in the Qi Palace for half a year?"
Wei Zhong nodded and said concisely:
"I have benefited a lot."
Wei Zhong had to admit that under the nourishment of the soil of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, the art of weapon refining has been greatly derived and developed.
Among them, the weapon refiners, no matter whether they are third or fourth level, all have their own unique skills, and their unique methods amazed Wei Zhongdu.
What is even more commendable is that the exchanges and discussions with those twelve people were purely technical exchanges and were not mixed with various personal emotions or even class superiority.
During the quarrel, Wei Zhong had seen several third-level weapon refiners pointing at Huang Yunqi and even Zhuge Zhao and scolding him.
The latter two are not annoyed, they can carefully consider each other's suggestions, and will confess their understanding no matter whether they are correct or not.
Such a scene can be said to make Wei Zhong marvel.
‘In the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, at least in the Artifact Palace, the hierarchical hierarchy among craftsmen has been abandoned and equal exchanges have been achieved. ’
Such a scene was something Wei Zhong had never seen in the outside world of cultivation.
"Fellow Taoist said this, I can rest assured."
Wei Zhong turned back to look at the people and horses gathered below, as well as the other monks who were gathering in the distance, and asked curiously:
“I’m just gathering at the Chamber of Commerce for a banquet, so why do I need such a big fanfare?”
Looking at this huge crowd of monks, those who didn't know it thought they were setting out to attack the Wang family.
