Chapter 149
The current speed of the Sky-Crossing Spirit Crane is no longer comparable to that of ordinary spirit beasts. The journey of more than 100 miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.Landing on the outskirts of Luliu Town, Qin Chuan put the spirit crane into his spirit beast bag, and walked into the town.

"Master Qin, it's Master Qin who is here!"

"Sure enough, it's Sect Leader Qin! Hurry up and salute Sect Leader Qin!"

Qin Chuan had just entered the town, and the town residents who had been chatting and laughing immediately became a sensation when they saw him, rushing forward one after another, bowing and saluting Qin Chuan.

"Fathers and folks, you don't have to be polite, and you don't have to be polite." Qin Chuan hurriedly said to everyone, so that everyone didn't have to salute.But all the mountain people insisted on refusing.

Nowadays, Yuhuamen's reputation in Luliu Town is no longer comparable to that of the past.In the past two years, in order to enhance the prestige of the sect and train the disciples' minds, Qin Chuan often sent disciples to walk around the area. The disciples did a lot of good things for the residents of the surrounding villages and towns, and solved many difficulties and troubles.Now, in the hearts of the residents in the surrounding villages and towns, Qin Chuan is simply a living Bodhisattva.

Now when they suddenly saw Qin Chuan coming to Luliu Town in person, everyone felt radiant.

However, although the townspeople warmly welcomed Qin Chuan, they also knew that a big man like Qin Chuan must have something to do when he came to Luliu Town.Therefore, they didn't dare to delay Qin Chuan's time too much. After saluting, they all made way for Qin Chuan to pass.

After feeling the love and enthusiasm of all the mountain people, Qin Chuan was also in a very happy mood. He walked through the streets and alleys of Luliu Town with ease, and soon came to Qiu Chengfeng's blacksmith shop.

It has been more than a year since he and Qiu Chengfeng reached the agreement on Zhiyang Xuantie.However, everything in this blacksmith shop remained the same, without any change.Qiu Chengfeng still had the same bearded appearance back then, with a worn felt cloth wrapped around his body, and holding a sledgehammer, he struck a piece of red iron blank one after another.

Looking at Qiu Chengfeng's sturdy body and focused expression, Qin Chuan couldn't help but a smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he fixed his eyes on him and began to check his basic information.

It's different from the last time I couldn't view it.This time, when Qin Chuan's eyes fell on Qiu Chengfeng, the information interface immediately presented Qiu Chengfeng's basic information:

Name: Qiu Chengfeng
School: no
Position: none
Lingen: yes
Spirit root attributes: gold, fire
Cultivation: Dzogchen during the Qi training period

After successfully checking Qiu Chengfeng's information, Qin Chuan was in a great mood.Sure enough, he is a craftsman in the Dzogchen realm during the Qi training period.Now that Zhiyang Xuantie is in his hands, this intermediate craftsman will become a general under his command in the future!

When Qin Chuan stared at Qiu Chengfeng with his eyes, Qiu Chengfeng immediately became alert.He stopped swinging the hammer in his hand and raised his head.

After seeing Qin Chuan, he couldn't help showing a wave of emotion on his originally indifferent face. He hurriedly walked out of the blacksmith shop and walked towards Qin Chuan.

"It turns out that Mr. En is here, Qiu Chengfeng is being polite!" As he spoke, he bent down to salute.

Qin Chuan quickly reached out to support him, and said, "Brother Qiu, please don't be too polite!"

Qiu Chengfeng didn't stop because of Qin Chuan's obstruction, he still insisted on bowing down, bowed to Qin Chuan, and said guiltily: "Qin Engong's kindness to Qiu is as heavy as a mountain, but Qiu has never repaid. I can’t do things like this, but saluting is unavoidable no matter what.”

Hearing what he said, Qin Chuan admired his character very much.Qiu Chengfeng's cultivation level is far higher than his own, but he is still very respectful. He is obviously a person who knows how to repay kindness and values ​​love and righteousness.Even if such a person's cultivation base is higher than his own, he can rest assured that he will be included in the sect.

"Qin Engong came here suddenly today, what's the matter?" Qiu Chengfeng asked after paying his respects.

A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face, and he said, "Brother Qiu, I really have something to trouble you for coming here today."

"But according to benefactor's order! As long as Qiu can do what he can, he will never refuse!"

It was because of Qin Chuan that he was able to see the master for the last time before he died.Qiu Chengfeng was full of gratitude to him.Due to the entanglement in his heart, Qiu Chengfeng also felt sorry for not agreeing to Qin Chuan's request to join the Yuhuamen.If Qin Chuan has any orders at this time, he is of course willing to go all out to help.

"Brother Qiu, recently I got an extremely valuable refining material, and I would like to ask you to refine a magic weapon for me." Qin Chuan said to Qiu Chengfeng with a faint smile.

After hearing this, Qiu Chengfeng couldn't help but his expression darkened. He sighed and said, "Qin Engong, about refining tools, Qiu has already told you very clearly last time. I really don't want to refine anything in this life. , there is no need to disgrace Master's name..."

Qin Chuan said: "Brother Qiu, don't rush to refuse, and make a decision after reading my materials, okay?"

While speaking, he took Zhiyang Xuantie out from the ring and held it in his hand.

As soon as Zhiyang Xuantie was taken out, a strong light suddenly bloomed in front of Qiu Chengfeng.With the light shining, a strong warmth was released from the iron billet, spreading around.

Qiu Chengfeng was all too familiar with this feeling.The pair of eyes that were already very big at this time were staring like copper bells, staring closely at Zhiyang Xuantie, and his sturdy body began to tremble slightly.

After a long time, Qiu Chengfeng said in an unbelievable tone, "This is... this is... Zhiyang Xuantie!"

Qin Chuan said: "That's right, this is Zhiyang Xuantie!"

Holding the Zhiyang Xuantie and walking up to Qiu Chengfeng, and putting the precious iron into his hands, Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, "Brother Qiu, do you still remember what we said at the beginning? Got it, it's up to you next! Use precious iron to forge a good magic weapon, and prove to Senior Ouye that he didn't choose the wrong successor!"

Qiu Chengfeng held Zhiyang Xuantie, his hands trembled even more.His whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes because of the two pieces of Zhiyang black iron.This precious iron has become a scar in his heart that he dare not touch.At this time, Bao Tie appeared in front of him for the third time, how could he calm down?
"Qin Engong, this... How did you get this Zhiyang Xuantie?" Qiu Chengfeng asked in a trembling voice.

Qin Chuan said: "How to get it is not important. What is important is that I hope that this precious iron will play its greatest role and shine brightest in the hands of an excellent craftsman!"

"Excellent craftsman... I am a person who continuously refines and wastes two pieces of Zhiyang Xuan Iron! If you hand over such a treasure to me, aren't you afraid that I will waste the treasure again?" He told his own tragic past , Qiu Chengfeng's face was full of pain.

Qin Chuan stretched out his hands, and firmly held Qiu Chengfeng's broad and rough palm: "Brother Qiu, I believe in you, and even more in the vision of Senior Ou Ye! Past failures only represent the past. Today, use this most important Yang Xuantie is here to wash away the humiliation and revive your glory! Again, Senior Ou Ye is absolutely unwilling to see you give up refining weapons in this life. If you can cheer up again, he will know and smile!"

Hearing Qin Chuan mention Master Ou Yeyang, the expression on Qiu Chengfeng's face kept changing, obviously he was engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

Qin Chuan knew that no one could help at such a time.Whether he can defeat the inner demons and reinvigorate himself depends on Qiu Chengfeng himself!

Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on your own choice!Qin Chuan said silently in his heart.

After a while, Qiu Chengfeng, whose face was constantly changing, finally calmed down gradually.The pained expression on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by resoluteness.

"Qin Engong, thank you for your trust. This piece of Zhiyang Xuan Iron, I will refine it!"

Qin Chuan was overjoyed when he heard this.As long as Qiu Chengfeng is willing to break free from the shackles of his demons and take the first step, then there is still hope for everything!
"Brother Qiu, I'm waiting for your good news!" Qin Chuan said to Qiu Chengfeng in an extremely trusting tone.

This time Qiu Chengfeng didn't say anything more, hugged Zhiyang Xuantie with both hands, bowed deeply to Qin Chuan again, then turned around and walked back to the blacksmith shop.

Although Qiu Chengfeng looks extremely rough, he is well organized in the blacksmith shop.It can be seen that he is usually very attentive here.

But when he entered the blacksmith's shop at this time, he suddenly waved his sleeves and swept the stove, anvil, farm tools and other things out of the door.

From today onwards, I am no longer a blacksmith in a remote village, I will be a high-spirited craftsman back then!
Qiu Chengfeng clenched his fists, feeling agitated.

Holding Zhiyang Xuantie, he walked into the house, and after a while, he came out again with a delicate bag in his hand.

Qin Chuan could tell at a glance that this small bag was not an ordinary cloth bag, but a storage bag.It must be the storage bag that Qiu Chengfeng carried with him back then.

He guessed right.After Qiu Chengfeng took out the storage bag, he kept taking out one item after another from it, and put them back in the blacksmith's shop.It turned out to be a new stove, anvil, and many other refining utensils.They were all handy tools used by Qiu Chengfeng for refining weapons back then.

Take out the charcoal fire and put it in the furnace, light the flame.Seeing the flames gradually flourishing, Qiu Chengfeng's eyes gradually became complicated.

I thought that these portable refining tools would never see the light of day again.But now, the flame was rekindled, and my confidence was rekindled!
Today, the third refinement of Zhiyang Xuan Iron will be carried out!
This time, for the sake of Master, for myself, and for Qin Chuan who sincerely helped him, he must not fail again!

Looking up at Qin Chuan who was standing quietly outside the blacksmith shop watching everything, Qiu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with gratitude.Then he withdrew his gaze, forgot everything outside his body, and focused on using his spiritual power to ignite the flame in the furnace.

Under the urging of spiritual power, the flame quickly became extremely vigorous.Beating non-stop in the hearth, the originally fiery red flames gradually began to show a faint blue color.

Although Qin Chuan doesn't know how to refine weapons, he also knows "skilled skills".This is a manifestation of the extremely high temperature of the flame.

Under such a high temperature, ordinary iron and stone will be melted soon after being placed in it.But for precious iron like Zhiyang Xuantie, it is still far from enough.

In fact, refining equipment, like alchemy, has very high requirements for flames.The best refining flame is still the strange fire between heaven and earth and the monster fire of monsters, and the second is the innate real fire that is self-generated in the monk's body.Refining weapons with ordinary fire is the worst choice.

However, at this time, Qiu Chengfeng was only at the Dzogchen stage of qi training, and the real fire had not been generated in his body, so he could not refine weapons with real fire.And the monster fire of monsters, the strange fire between heaven and earth, these things are extremely rare, and they can be encountered but not sought after.

Back then, Qiu Chengfeng's master, Ou Yeyang, originally had a fire attribute monster to assist in refining weapons.But in exchange for the Zhiyang Xuantie in other people's hands to refine weapons for his apprentice, he has already exchanged the monsters.

For more than ten years, Qiu Chengfeng has been living in seclusion in Luliu Town, not having any contact with the outside world.Therefore, the only thing he can use to refine weapons is the common fire in the world.

Fortunately, as a talented and experienced craftsman, Qiu Chengfeng already has a lot of experience in controlling flames.When the flame was strong enough, Qiu Chengfeng took out several jet-black stones from the storage bag, and filled them all into the hearth.

I don't know what kind of material these black stones are made of. After entering the hearth, it seems to add sufficient spices to the flames.The originally pale blue flame exuded even more blazing power, and finally turned into a pure blue color.Even though Qin Chuan was standing far away, he could still feel the astonishingly high temperature in the hearth.

Seeing that the flame had turned into this state, Qiu Chengfeng nodded slightly, slightly satisfied.Putting the Zhiyang Xuantie given by Qin Chuan in front of him, he gently stroked the black iron with his thick palm, his expression was not like stroking a piece of iron, but like stroking the carcass of his first love.

Once upon a time, Zhiyang Xuantie was the biggest pain in Qiu Chengfeng's heart.However, as Qin Chuan said, if he wants to prove himself again, he must do it!

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his nervousness, Qiu Chengfeng picked up the Zhiyang Xuantie and resolutely filled it into the furnace.

A foreign object entered, and the flame in the furnace became more cheerful.It kept beating, licking every part of Zhiyang Xuantie from all angles.

The Zhiyang Xuantie, which was originally pitch-black, gradually began to show a bright red color under the continuous burning of the flames.

After the black iron was put into the furnace, all of Qiu Chengfeng's attention had been concentrated in the furnace.While constantly mobilizing his spiritual power, he adjusted the intensity of the flames and the position and angle of the Zhiyang Black Iron, while carefully paying attention to the temperature and color of the Black Iron.

After burning like this for a while, Qiu Chengfeng took the storage bag again, and took out a lot of materials from the storage bag. With his hands moving like flying, he methodically filled all these materials into the stove, and The Zhiyang black iron was burned and tempered by the flames.

This process is the first step in the refining process - plastic embryo.

This step is crucial.Whether all the materials can be properly fused together is directly related to the success of the refining device.If the plastic embryo is not done well, the raw materials cannot be properly fused, and the embryo is likely to be knocked and broken during the second step - condensing, which directly leads to the failure of the refiner.

As an experienced craftsman, Qiu Chengfeng naturally knew the importance of this step.Concentrate on, without distraction, and strive for perfection in every detail.

Qin Chuan looked at his incomparable devotion from the side, feeling relieved and worried at the same time.

The gratifying thing is that Qiu Chengfeng finally got rid of the troubles of inner demons and started refining weapons again.As for worry, he is worried that he will not be able to completely shake off the shadow of previous failures and will not be able to go all out.

After all, Zhiyang Xuantie is extremely precious and rare. If it wasn't for a coincidence that it existed in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave this time, I'm afraid I would have nowhere to find it.If he fails again this time, not only will the treasure be damaged, but Qiu Chengfeng will also completely collapse from now on, and he will never be able to cheer up again.

The Yuhua Sect wants to attract experts and complete the task of "Inheritance of Artifact Refining", but the hope will become extremely slim.

The consequences are too serious, it is impossible for Qin Chuan not to think about it.But he also knew that at this time, he couldn't help anything, and everything could only be left to Qiu Chengfeng to bear independently.If you talk or move randomly, it will disturb Qiu Chengfeng instead, which is even more detrimental to the refining tool.

Therefore, Qin Chuan wisely remained silent, just quietly watching Qiu Chengfeng refine the weapon.At the same time, he was fully alert to the surrounding area, trying to prevent any accidents that could interfere with Qiu Chengfeng.

It has to be said that any technology has its unique charm.Whether it is Cao Xiaolan making alchemy or Qiu Chengfeng refining weapons, if you watch them quietly, you will feel the charming demeanor they exude.

At this time, the first process, the plastic embryo, has come to an end.Under Qiu Chengfeng's meticulous control, the various raw materials added have been perfectly integrated into Zhiyang Xuantie.

As for the originally pitch-black Zhiyang Xuan Iron, under the continuous tempering of the flames, the whole body has turned red and gradually softened, reaching an extremely high temperature.

Qiu Chengfeng sensed it attentively, and when he realized that Zhiyang Xuantie had reached its optimum state, he immediately mobilized his spiritual power to control the Xuantie.

The bright red Zhiyang Xuantie jumped out of the flames with a "huh", and landed on the refining anvil impartially.

Without wasting any time, Qiu Chengfeng made a volley with his right hand, and the jet-black short hammer that was placed aside immediately jumped into his hand.

The strong arm immediately swung the hammer, hitting the black iron again and again.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding..."

Originally, this single beating sound was very boring, but under Qiu Chengfeng's hammer, it was full of rhythmic beauty and very pleasant to the ear.

While listening and watching, Qin Chuan thought to himself, "Chengfeng, Chengfeng... So Ou Yeyang gave Qiu Chengfeng this name, which means 'lucky luck'~~"

At this time, Qiu Chengfeng was not aware of any external situation at all, and all his attention was focused on the short hammer in his hand and the embryo in front of him.While beating and tempering intensively like rain, one after another formula was driven into the embryo.

This is the second step of the refining device - condensing.Whether it is the strength and rhythm of the beating, or the timing and direction of entering the formula, all of them have a crucial impact on the quality of the final magic weapon.Once something is not done well, this piece of rare precious iron may become garbage.

When he first refined Zhiyang Xuan Iron, Qiu Chengfeng was ruined by this step.At this time, the old things repeated themselves, and his eyes began to flicker.
