Chapter 107 Blacksmith Qiu Chengfeng

Qiu Dachui was just a blacksmith from a small mountain village. Before going up the mountain with Qin Chuan, he had no foundation in cultivation, and naturally he couldn't understand the method of refining weapons that even monks can't easily learn.

But now he said that he knew everything recorded in this "Introduction to Artifact Refining".Could it be that Huijianmen has always used the method of the mountain village blacksmith to refine weapons?

This is too funny!

While thinking, Qin Chuan took the "Introduction to Artifact Refining" in his hand and flipped through it.

Although he didn't know much about weapon refining, after reading a few pages, he already felt that what was recorded in the introduction to weapon refining was not a superficial knowledge of blacksmithing, but rather a mysterious way of cultivating weapon refining.

This made Qin Chuan even more confused.Qiu Dachui really knows these things?
"Sledgehammer, do you really know all the things recorded on it?" Qin Chuan couldn't help asking again.

Qiu Dachui nodded without hesitation: "I really know it. Since I was very young, my father taught me many methods such as material identification, impurity removal, hammer handling, quenching, etc. It is similar to what is recorded above, and there are many other methods. The method has not been recorded in this book, it must be my father's unique method."

When talking about his father, Qiu Dachui's face began to glow with admiration.

In his heart, there are two people he admires the most.One is the leader Qin Chuan, and the other is his father Qiu Chengfeng.Although, he is just a blacksmith in a remote mountain village.

What Qiu Dachui said made Qin Chuan's eyes shine immediately.To be a good sect leader, you need to have many qualities.Being good at recruiting talents for the sect is one of them.

And if you want to recruit talents, you must have a sensitive sense of touch and be good at discovering hidden talents.After all, everyone knows that talents on the bright side are talents, and they will grab them.The Yuhua Sect's small sect has no capital to compete with those big sects.

Now, the information revealed by Qiu Dachui made Qin Chuan keenly feel that his father might not be simple!
After all, it's not surprising that a blacksmith in a mountain village is a little more skilled in blacksmithing.But it's strange to use the method of refining weapons in the world of cultivating immortals to forge iron!

Could it be that Qiu Dachui's father was actually a hermit?

In fact, this seems unlikely.Because before Qiu Dachui joined the sect, he was no different from ordinary mountain village youths, and he didn't have the slightest knowledge of self-cultivation at all.

But no matter what, this information is related to whether the sect's "refining inheritance" task can be completed.As long as there is a chance, Qin Chuan will give it a try!
Qin Chuan was excited, stood up from his seat, patted Qiu Dachui on the shoulder, and said, "Sledgehammer, you have been in the sect for more than a year, right? Are you homesick?"

Qiu Dachui scratched his head with his hands, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Before going up the mountain, my father once seriously told me that since I am an entry-level sect, I should regard the sect as my home. But... to tell the truth about the sect leader, I really miss him a little bit. "

"In this case, the head will let you take a few days off, go home and see your father!"

Qiu Dachui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

"Go, take my warrant and go to Uncle Chen to collect money, clothes, and weapons, and go home with a brand new look to meet your father, and let him see that his son has grown up!" Qin Chuan said, While writing a warrant, hand it to Qiu Dachui.

Qiu Dachui took the warrant and went down happily.

He is now at the second level of the Qi training period, although he has not produced mana yet, he cannot cast spells and fly in the air.But running long distances with physical strength alone is better than a strong horse.

Having been away from home for a long time, now that he has been granted permission by the head of the sect, Qiu Dachui was very homesick, and immediately started running after going down the mountain.

Qin Chuan was also on top of the main peak at this time, and he summoned the soaring crane, and drove the crane to Qiu Dachui's hometown - Luliu Town.

Of course, the speed of the soaring crane was unmatched by Qiu Dachui.I saw it waving its wings and soaring into the sky. In a moment, Luliu Town appeared in Qin Chuan's field of vision.

Back then, when Yuhua Sect started to earn prestige and embarked on a powerful road, it started by recruiting disciples from Luliu Town.

Nowadays, the mountain in Luliu Town is still the same mountain, and the water is still the same water, but the Yuhuamen is no longer the weak Yuhuamen of the past!

Qin Chuan jumped off the crane outside the town and walked into the town.While admiring the tranquil scenery of the mountain village, while recalling the various events of that day, I felt quite emotional.

Not long after entering Luliu Town, someone recognized Qin Chuan immediately:

"Huh? Isn't that the Immortal Head of the Yuhua Gate who came to Luliu Town last year to recruit disciples?"

"That's right, that's him! I haven't seen him for a year, and this fairy elder is even more immortal! He must have achieved great success in cultivation!"

"I don't know if the Immortal Elder is here to recruit disciples? My little grandson has grown up now!"

……

All the villagers looked at Qin Chuan from afar and talked a lot, but no one dared to approach Qin Chuan without authorization.

At the same time, some people rushed to the home of Wang Yuanwai, a big family in this town, to report to him the news that the head of the Yuhua Sect was coming again.

Wang Yuanwai didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately led his servants to meet him.

"The villain doesn't know that the immortal is here, and he is far away to welcome him, but he hopes to forgive him!" Wang Yuanwai trotted all the way over, already out of breath.When he came to Qin Chuan and bowed to salute Qin Chuan, his face was swollen and his breathing was short of breath.

Qin Chuan originally wanted to walk around the town at will, thinking about the old days.But he didn't expect that a year had passed, and the residents of the town still had such deep memories of him.Immediately said to Wang Yuanwai: "Wang Yuanwai, I just came here to play casually, you don't need to be formal."

Wang Yuanwai hurriedly said: "The villain has already prepared food and wine at home when he heard that the head of the fairy is coming. I beg the head of the fairy to show you the honor. In addition, the villain has prepared many filial gifts in the past year. Unfortunately, I don't know where the fairy mountain of Yuhuamen is. , could not be delivered. Today, the Immortal Elder is here, and he happened to take it away with him."

Hearing what Wang Yuanwai said, Qin Chuan couldn't help thinking of the days when 100 taels of silver were considered huge sums of money.At that time, it was difficult to start, and it was indeed not easy to survive.

But today's Yuhuamen is no longer what it used to be.Not to mention anything else, the gold and silver treasures looted from the Huijian Gate alone are by no means comparable to such a local rich man outside the king.

However, although Qin Chuan was not interested in Wang Yuanwai's food and filial piety, he was very interested in Qiu Dachui's father.Just took this opportunity to inquire with Wang Yuanwai.

So he didn't refuse, and followed Wang Yuanwai into the palace.

Wang Yuanwai immediately ordered the meeting to open.Big fish and meat are usually served on the table.However, Qin Chuan has been eating Linggu for a long time, and he has lost any interest in these secular meals. He just lifts up his chopsticks to take a bite of each dish, and refuses to touch it any more.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yuanwai went inside without knowing it, and felt uneasy.Suddenly he summoned a servant beside him and whispered some instructions.The servant led the order, and after a while, a young girl about eighteen or nineteen years old came into the living room.Behind her, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sneaked in.

Wang Yuanwai came to Qin Chuan's side, smiled flatteringly and said, "Immortal Elder, this is Xiao Jing, the villain's daughter. She is now eighteen years old and quite pretty. If the Immortal Elder catches her eye, let her follow her." Going back to the mountain and serving the pillow mat in the future is also the honor of the villain!"

Qin Chuan looked up at the girl, she was just ordinary people's purple.Especially when I was surrounded by two beauties, Su Qianxue and Wang Zining, it was even more inconspicuous in comparison.

Opened the information interface and checked, and found that the girl had no spiritual roots, so Qin Chuan lost the last bit of interest in her.But by the way, I took a look at the boy behind her, and unexpectedly discovered that he actually has spiritual roots!

A person with spiritual roots represents a plastic talent, a potential talent in the future of the sect.

This accidental discovery put Qin Chuan in a good mood, and he said to Wang Yuanwai: "Wang Yuanwai, I am concentrating on cultivating the Tao, and I have no interest in female sex for the time being. Your daughter is gone. However, the young man behind her is not bad..."

Before Qin Chuan could finish speaking, Wang Yuanwai was already scared out of his wits, and begged with a bitter face: "That child is the son of a villain, and the son of a villain is vulgar, stubborn, and not hygienic. It is really unbearable." Serve the head of the fairy! If the head of the fairy likes men, the villain promises to find a lot of handsome boys for the head of the fairy. Please... please let me go, the villain is such a son!"

Qin Chuan was speechless.It was both disgusting and funny.This king, with such a wretched mind, really lived up to his looks!

So he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Wang, the man who is the head of the sect, how can he have such a dirty habit! I see that your son has a spiritual root, and he is a material that can be made. I want to take him into my Yuhua gate to cultivate Practicing qi, seeking longevity. If you don't want to, then give up."

"I am willing! I am willing! The villain is willing!" Wang Yuanwai was overjoyed when he learned the truth.

Cultivation is prevalent in the world of Zhongzhou, even if the king lives in a remote deserted village, he knows the benefits of cultivating immortals.Even if you can't reach the ultimate realm of immortality, as long as you can learn a few immortal spells, you can still get a good background in the Great Jin Kingdom in the future!
The last time Qin Chuan came to recruit disciples, Wang Yuanwai was bewitched by Shi Ping, turned against him, and returned in disgrace.His son naturally did not dare to participate in the selection.Unexpectedly, now that good luck is coming, how can he be unwilling!He hurriedly called his son over and toasted Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan inspected it carefully, and found that Wang Yuanwai's son not only has a fire attribute spiritual root, but also has good physical fitness.This aptitude is at least better than the four outer disciples with spiritual roots in the Yuhua Sect, and it is indeed a talent to be made.

Qin Chuan was also quite happy to have such an unexpected harvest in this trip to Luliu Town.Making an exception, he picked up the wine glass and drank an extra glass.

Then it turned to the main topic: "Besides the king, there is a blacksmith named Qiu in Luliu Town, are you familiar with it?"

Wang Yuanwai quickly replied: "Familiar! Familiar! Blacksmith Qiu's name is Qiu Chengfeng. He is very good at blacksmithing. His son was accepted by the fairy elder. Everyone in Luliu Town knows about it."

Qin Chuan held the wine glass in his hand, played with it lightly, and asked, "Is this Qiu Chengfeng a local?"

Wang Yuan said: "That's not true. He moved here from other places more than ten years ago. At that time, he walked into Green Willow Town with a sledgehammer in his left hand and a child in his right hand. I happened to see it, and I remember it deeply."

"A child? Doesn't he have three children?" Qin Chuan asked in surprise.When he came to recruit disciples last year, Qiu Dachui personally said that he had two older brothers, but neither had spiritual roots. Qin Chuan still remembered it at this time.

Wang Yuanwai said: "Those two children are orphans adopted by Blacksmith Qiu. Only Qiu Dachui, who was taken away by the fairy elder, is his biological son."

I see!The two sons without spiritual roots were both adopted.Those with spiritual roots are their own sons!

It is not impossible for a person without spiritual roots to give birth to a child with spiritual roots, but the chances are very small.

And people with spiritual roots have a very high chance of giving birth to children with spiritual roots.If both parents have spiritual roots, the possibility of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots is almost [-]%.And if the attributes of the parents' spiritual roots are different, there is a certain possibility of producing offspring with mutant spiritual roots.

From this, it can be deduced backwards that Qiu Dachui has spiritual roots, so it is very likely that his father also has spiritual roots!

With spiritual roots and knowledge of the art of refining weapons in the world of cultivating immortals, maybe this Qiu Chengfeng really has a secret!
"Do you know the history of Qiu Chengfeng?" Qin Chuan asked again.

Wang Yuanwai shook his head: "This Blacksmith Qiu has a very bad temper, and he has always treated people with a cold face. He has been in Luliu Town for more than ten years, and he has not made a single friend. If his blacksmithing skills are not really excellent, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago. starved to death on the streets."

Qin Chuan nodded silently after listening.Even if Qiu Chengfeng really has secrets, it is beyond the understanding of ordinary mountain and field villagers.

It seems that I can only meet him in person!

Qin Chuan asked Wang Yuanwai about the location of Qiu Chengfeng's residence in detail, and then walked out of Wang Yuanwai's house and walked to Qiu Chengfeng's blacksmith shop.

Qiu Chengfeng's blacksmith shop is located next to a big willow tree at the other end of the town.Qin Chuan hadn't reached it when he heard the sound of clanging irons from a distance.

The voice is crisp and melodious, and very rhythmic.The more Qin Chuan listened to it, the more mysterious the sound of blacksmithing was. I am afraid that an ordinary blacksmith in a mountain village would not be able to make such a sound.

The curiosity towards Qiu Chengfeng in his heart was stronger than ever.I'm about to see his true face in Lushan, I don't know what kind of person he will be?
Walking in front of the blacksmith's shop, Qin Chuan saw a burly, bare-chested man with a beard wearing only a torn anvil cloth.

Seeing Qin Chuan coming, the bearded man did not greet Qin Chuan, but still concentrated on beating the red-hot piece of iron in front of him with his hammer.

Qin Chuan was also silent, standing aside and quietly observing the big man with beard.

I saw him with focused eyes and skillful techniques. The sledgehammer was fast or slow, light or heavy, hitting the red-hot iron block one after another.Although he was only building a worthless agricultural iron plow, the way he devoted himself seemed to be carefully carving a work of art.

Qin Chuan raised his head, stared at him, and began to check his basic information.

Suddenly, a transparent information interface unfolded in front of Qin Chuan.Except for Qin Chuan, no one else could see this information interface at all.But the big man with the beard seemed to be aware of it immediately, and he also raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan.
