When the main character is cheated by a butterfly

At the beginning, Qiu Boyu only realized that the time limit given by Hong Zi was approaching when Zhou Qiyan reminded him.

In the past eight years, the two of them have been hunting for treasures in the Wankuangshan area. Zhou Qiyan provided Qiu Boyu with a lot of training materials. Coupled with the characteristics of the earth veins, Qiu Boyu can practice together as a weapon master without distraction.During this period, there were occasional other people who wanted to partner with them or attack them. Under Qiu Boyu's instruction, Zhou Qiyan did not isolate them.

Because Brother Qiu meant that those who want to be a partner can see if they can develop into contacts, and those who want to make a move...Even if you concentrate on practicing the minor, you can't ignore the combat training.If someone wants to attack them, it's okay to fight back.

This is the atmosphere of the Western Regions.

Occasionally, Qiu Boyu would take advantage of Zhou Qiyan's particularity to sneak out of the area of ​​Wan Kuang Mine, return to Zhou Qiran's retreat place, and stay there for two or three days.

Qiu Boyu's equipment masters have made great progress together. This is related to his experience as an alchemist, and maybe it has something to do with his being in the golden alchemy stage - he has realized the rules, and he is more aware of the materials used in the refining and forging process. subtle changes in between.

In the beginning, Qiu Boyu could only produce low-grade spirit treasures, that is, the most crude and simple batch. After a while, he was able to steadily produce middle-grade spirit treasures.

For ordinary monks, this speed of progress is already terrifying.But Qiu Boyu was not satisfied enough.He always felt that his works were superficial, but something was missing.

Hong Zi gave him a lot of recipes, so that he could refer to the recipes to prepare and process the materials, but the things he made gave Qiu Boyu no sense of accomplishment at all.

Qiu Boyu seemed to be stuck in this bottleneck, unable to go up or down, he was like an assembly line worker who produced mid-grade spirit treasures in batches, but in addition to making him more familiar with the production process and more proficient in techniques, It seems that there is no gain.

If you were an ordinary person, you must stop and take a break at this time to reflect on your own level.But Qiu Boyu is not the case, the hoarding of a large amount of resources gives him enough confidence to waste.

Modify the formula, use a new method of refining, deliberately stop when the last one or two steps are missing, and study the collapsed semi-finished product.After Qiu Boyu's level improved, he followed like a demon, and there was no normal and intact work at all.

It's just that Zhou Qiyan is an earth vein, and the treasures of heaven and earth on hand are gone?Just go and get it. For her, the entire Qianren Pagoda is in her pocket.Qiu Boyu is like a bewitched man who can only produce failed works within a year or two, and she has no objection, anyway, with the aura of the protagonist here, he will always improve.

Moreover, Qiu Boyu didn't appear to be shocked at all, and seemed to be completely prepared for those failures, so she didn't need to say anything.Didn't those people have said that Brother Qiu was forced to enter the door when he was both high in cultivation base and age, so it didn't seem strange that such a situation appeared.

Afterwards, Zhou Qiran threw out the magic lamp of the four directions and the exercises of the spirit body. Zhou Qiyan has her own practice to be busy, and she doesn't care about Qiu Boyu who seems to have no progress.

Later, when the eight years were approaching, Zhou Qiyan reminded Qiu Boyu—you can't show Hong Zi those piles of failures, right?

And I couldn't take it out.Qiu Boyu made a failed work, and after researching it, he will restore it to Zhou Qiyan.Because most of Qiu Boyu's works are spirit treasures without formations, Zhou Qiyan can destroy them, restore them, or make them into small stone sculptures in a short time.

After knowing that Qiu Boyu had unreasonable thoughts about her brother, Zhou Qiyan resolutely refused to continue to be his brother's little figure for him.So most of those things were destroyed and returned to the earth.

At this time, Qiu Boyu began to calm down and prepare to make a finished product with his heart - definitely not something that can be made easily.

Probably no one would study the subtle changes in the manufacturing process of each spirit treasure as thoroughly as Qiu Boyu.This is a special shortcut for people with high cultivation—because of the high angle of standing, Qiu Boyu is not satisfied with his own level, so he wants to study why the formula has such a ratio.

For example, if the same question is given to people with low levels, they will be satisfied just by doing it.But in the eyes of people with high levels, they can follow the clues to guess the train of thought and intention of the questioner.

After eight years of exploration, what exactly is a "satisfactory work"?

Qiu Boyu immediately thought of a monk who was still in retreat.In the past eight years, the other party had only left the seclusion once, and it was almost immediately closed. When the two of them looked for it, there was only a small piece of jade slip on the ground and the Four Square Earth Spirit Lamp that fell on the ground in embarrassment.

Didn't even see each other.

He wanted to become an instrument master because his original intention was not great or noble, but he just wanted to make things that could make that person happy.And somehow, he had an extraordinary confidence in himself.

In his eyes, he should be omnipotent, even when he told him that he wanted to be a weapon master when he was a alchemist, the man was not surprised at all, on the contrary, it was so natural.Therefore, Qiu Boyu wants to follow his expectations and make himself omnipotent.

What he said to Hong Zi, "I know my journey will not stop here", is his self-confidence and the goal that must be accomplished.

Satisfied with the work?He wanted to make a treasure enough to dedicate to that person.

As if suddenly blessed to the soul, Qiu Boyu suddenly remembered two things he had obtained in Huairen Town - the mysterious metal that Zhenjun used to smash him, and the unformed Lingbao that he took away from the Xiantian Lingbao Cave fetal.

There seemed to be a voice in his heart guiding him how to do it, how to deal with it, and how to describe the thoughts in his mind.

The admiration for that person, the longing for that person, turned into a raging fire after the furnace was opened, and wrapped the material in.They gradually shed impurities and gradually merged together.

No one told Qiu Boyu the formula, he added materials or processed it completely according to his intuition.Even the slight repulsion between materials is taken into account, and it is handled perfectly.

Just do it.

All the painstaking efforts were poured into the spirit liquid mass smelted from the material. Under the processing of spiritual consciousness, it was squeezed and shrunk, and then gradually elongated, forming a prototype.

Qiu Boyu has been doing it for a long time, at least Zhou Qiyan is the first time seeing him refining for such a long time.

But when Qiu Boyu was refining, there was always an aura she felt familiar with, which was stronger than usual.

The eight years of accumulation had been brought into play, and by the time Hong Zi came to Wan Kuang Mine to find the two, Qiu Boyu had already finished his work—he seemed a little weak because of excessive mental and physical exertion.

When Hong Zi saw Qiu Boyu's work, she was only shocked.

"Is this your work?" Hong Zi said, constantly looking at the two shining swords.

Qiu Boyu nodded, "Not very satisfied."

"..."

Hong Zi frowned, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said to Qiu Boyu with a solemn expression, "Daoist Shaoqiu, you...are you using a pseudonym?"

"how you said that?"

"..." Hong Zi waved the long sword, then returned it to Qiu Boyu, and said, "Because someone with this level should not be an unknown person. And..."

"Do you know, when I guided you, I discovered that you are different from other monks."

The woman found a rock and sat down gracefully, but her actions revealed a slight precaution.

Normally, she just needs to get this sort of thing out of the way.However, Qiu Boyu's performance made Hong Zi couldn't help but want to talk to him.

Zhou Qiyan didn't know why, so she crouched behind Qiu Boyu holding the Four Square Earth Lamp, watching their conversation.

"You are very familiar with all kinds of treasures of heaven, material and earth, and even some things that monks can only know by looking up the classics. When I taught you how to turn demon energy into flames, you did it very quickly... you know For those newcomers, it will take about ten days at the fastest to realize the key points. You are too smart, your talent is too terrifying, you are not like an ordinary magic pill monk at all, but..."

"Seize the house?"

According to Hong Zi's speculation, Qiu Boyu didn't have any other emotions.He smiled and pointed out the final conclusion that Hong Zi had prepared so much for.

This is a taboo topic in the cultivation world.

A bit of guard appeared on Hong Zi's face, and her graceful body tensed up, as if she was about to strike at any moment.

"First of all, I need to apologize. 'Shao Qiu' is indeed a fake name." Qiu Boyu said, "My real name is Qiu Boyu, and I come from the Eastern Region."

"Eastern Region?" Hong Zi frowned. She had already guessed about the pseudonym, and there was no doubt that Zhen Jun came from the Eastern Region, but she never expected that even this "Shao Qiu" was from the Eastern Region?

Does the Eastern Territory have enough magic energy to cultivate a magic pill and magic cultivator?

"Yes, Eastern Region." Qiu Boyu said, "To be honest, I was already a third-rank alchemist when I was in Eastern Region."

……

This was even more surprising than what I had originally guessed.

Because it was too bizarre, Hong Zi even subconsciously ignored the possibility that Qiu Boyu might be lying.She has seen Qiu Boyu's demonized state, and this monk is an unusual existence in her eyes.And Qiu Boyu's posture.

"You mean? You were originally an alchemist, and now you're turning around to become an instrument repairer?"

"It can't be said to turn around and repair it. My current plan is to repair it together." Qiu Boyu said, "The two have something in common."

Before Hong Zi could react, Qiu Boyu continued, "I have reasons to explain everything you find strange."

"Familiar with Tiancaidibao is Zhen Jun's study, and you are an alchemist yourself, you need to be familiar with this kind of Tiancaidibao; the reason why you can quickly master the magic energy and turn into flames is because you have relevant experience...isn't it? Hong Zi looked at Qiu Boyu with some inexplicable emotion, "You kid, you are a little bit hidden."

"Award."

"You make me feel lucky that I didn't accept you as an apprentice." Hong Zi shrugged slightly, and said, "I don't think many people would dare to accept an apprentice like you. Then, why did you suddenly tell me this? You could have said nothing, Isn't it?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little tense, Zhou Qiyan was a little nervous and didn't know what to do.

"Some things, it's easier to talk about them openly. Hiding them will kill trust, isn't it?"

After his work was released, he knew that Hong Zi would immediately have doubts.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply revealed his more special situation.

Hong Zi is a smart woman, she knows what to do is the best way for her.

In the original teaching, he had already noticed that Hong Zi had become suspicious of his advanced progress.But let him slow down to deceive people, he can't do it.

That person was already standing so far in front of him, and it was too late for him to run over, so how could he slow down?

Qiu Boyu always wanted to improve himself faster, faster enough to catch up with that man's back and stand beside him.

As for whether to believe it or not, that's up to her.

"Actually, what you said is so bizarre that it even violates the usual cognition of the Western Regions." Hong Zi said leisurely, with a soft voice, and she was flattered as soon as she spoke, "But I don't know why, if it happened to you It doesn’t seem so unacceptable to talk about that Taoist Lord Zhen. Can you tell me the Taoist name of that Taoist now?”

If Shao Qiu is a pseudonym, then Zhen Jun is undoubtedly the same - this is not difficult to guess, Hong Zi suspected at the beginning that this is not a name, but an honorific title.

"Tianshu."

Hong Zi paused, with a bit of surprise on his face.

She had some impressions of this dao name, "Tianshu? That Tianshu?"

"Zhenjun is a famous person—by the way, Zhenjun allowed me to call him 'Zhenjun'." Qiu Boyu added an explanation, and his expression couldn't hide the pride and joy. Let Hong Zi pouted slightly. "Fellow Daoist, it's normal for you to have heard of him."

In other words, Zhen Jun is not completely without the possibility of being taken down.Look, he is already a Taoist monarch, but he allowed Qiu Boyu to offend him with a lower-level title. Isn't this connivance?

Being able to pamper him proves that this guy may not have no place in that Taoist heart.

Hong Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I guessed that Taoist Lord was a big shot, but I didn't expect him to be such a terrible big shot."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Boyu and Zhou Qiyan became interested, and tried to get her to tell the rumors she had heard.

"Tianshu Zhenjun...Tianshu Daojun has had a great influence on the Western Regions." Hong Zi said, "The elder Qianren Pagoda who returned from Zhongzhou was influenced by him and developed many new refining techniques. The method used by Bao Ke to become a magic weapon is much more stable than the previous method. Although that person is not a weapon master, many of the spiritual weapons he developed have benefited the elders a lot. They ran many auctions, Compete with others for his work, and then take it back to study in the Western Regions."

"The elders of Qianren Pagoda didn't dare to take credit for it, so they stated that those skills were made by Tianshu Zhenjun, and they were just imitating them. For us Qianren Pagoda weapon masters, the Tianshu who is very active in Zhongzhou Zhenjun is an unpredictable senior."

"..."

If I remember correctly, Zhenjun seems to have made trouble in the Western Regions, especially this Wanshi Mansion?

If these instrument masters knew that their idols had actually visited them long ago and caused such chaos, I don't know how they would feel.

However, after realizing that the image of "Tianshu" in the Western Regions is more positive, Qiu Boyu is in a good mood.

At least these monks in the Western Regions are more knowledgeable than those in the Eastern Regions.

"..."

So her brother has lived to the point of being a popular idol?She obviously acted like a villain, but she always felt that the beauty's description was referring to an old professor with gray hair and kind eyebrows.

"Now that I think about it, the fake spirit weapons made by that method were all destroyed by that person, and he must have used this to express his dissatisfaction." Hong Zi sighed, "This is a very popular technique among weapon masters. Even though it can improve the level of magic treasures and produce the general effects of 'magic weapons', it is not as good as orthodox magic weapons after all. It can be used as a temporary expedient, but it is not suitable for long-term planning. So I later chose Improve yourself to make a real magic weapon."

"In short, I believe what you said for the time being." Hong Zi said leisurely, "Although it sounds very unbelievable."

"Believe it or not, isn't it your choice, fellow daoist?"

Finally, Hong Zi commented on Qiu Boyu's works.

"Actually, I have never seen such a strange magic treasure." Hong Zi said, "No matter how you look at it, it should be just a middle-grade magic treasure, but I think it should be more than that."

The long sword is full of brilliance, while the short sword contains brilliance, almost without any flaws, revealing a wonderful aura throughout.

Qiu Boyu only smiled slightly, "Maybe it's because I melted the treasures I found in Wan Kuang Mine into it."

"Then you are lucky."

After all, Hong Zi has managed it.Communicating with smart people is sometimes surprisingly easy.Qiu Boyu didn't want to lose Hong Zi's connection.And Hong Zi didn't want to offend these people—she didn't have an unnecessary sense of superiority like those high-level people in Qianren Tower.

After the two exchanged for a while, Qiu Boyu and his experience in continuing to discuss the way of tool masters were not in a hurry to leave the area of ​​Wan Kuang Mine.

During the period, he originally wanted to take Zhou Qiyan to appreciate the ordinary appearance of the cultivation world, but Zhou Qiyan refused on the grounds that she hadn't practiced well.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Qiu Boyu to leave the customs.

The cultivation base of the young man has advanced another level in the past ten years, becoming the middle stage of magic alchemy, the level of alchemy masters has risen, and the level of equipment masters has improved even more rapidly-according to Hong Zi, Qiu Boyu's eight years of cultivation The achievements of cultivation are as good as others' tens or hundreds of years.Now he can proficiently make middle-grade magic treasures, and can also make high-grade magic treasures, basically at the level of a fourth-level weapon master.When he can make magic weapons, it will be a big change in the career of a weapon master.

With his current level alone, Qiu Boyu can be ranked in the upper middle class among the equipment masters in Qianren Pagoda.

On a sunny day, where Zhou Qiran retreated.

Looking at the treasure that Qiu Boyu presented with some trepidation, Zhou Qiran slightly frowned and said, "Keep it for yourself."

This sword looks like an ordinary spiritual treasure now, but as long as it recognizes its master with a drop of blood, it will gradually evolve with the master's strength level—it is an embryo that has not yet grown up, waiting for the outside world to provide nutrients and break out of the ground .The principle of its evolution is to absorb a certain amount of spiritual power from the master to self-refine after recognizing its master with a drop of blood. The higher the master's strength, the better it will grow, and it will gradually stop until it catches up with the master's cultivation .Simply put, this is a sword that will continue to evolve.

Low-grade spirit treasure, middle-grade spirit treasure, top-grade spirit treasure, low-grade spirit weapon, middle-grade spirit weapon... top-grade spirit weapon!

Zhou Qiran didn't know whether this sky-defying sword would grow into a magic weapon, because it was not mentioned in the original book.

Moreover, the Magical Artifacts that have appeared now basically appear naturally, and he has never heard of anyone who has made a Magical Artifact.That's a big deal.

But thinking about the usual style of the protagonist Halo... Maybe this twin sword really has the potential to become a magic weapon.

Seeing this, Qiu Boyu thought it was Zhou Qiran who disliked the low level of these two swords, and hurriedly said, "Zhenjun, this is a spirit treasure specially refined by Boyu for you. Don't think it's just a middle-grade spirit treasure now. It will transform as the host grows!"

"No need." Zhou Qiran showed a refusal attitude, "Whether it's a spirit treasure or a spirit weapon, I have a bunch of swords in my warehouse."

Zhou Qiran didn't have any weapons that he was used to. Strictly speaking, talismans and formations counted as one. He has always been used to using things he made in advance to achieve his goals.However, if there is a need, such as temporarily needing to arrange a sword array, of course it is easier and more refreshing to use the real sword.

But most of the time, those swords are one-off. After setting up the sword array, they were either destroyed, or they were controlled by him to blow themselves up, or he simply didn't want them anymore.

Seeing that Zhou Qiran was unmoved, Qiu Boyu seemed to have guessed that there would be such a development from the very beginning, so he sighed slightly, "Is it true that Zhenjun doesn't like this?"

Zhou Qiran would not accept this Lao Shizi's gift.Not only because he doesn't want to accept the "gift" from Silly Ball, but also because the twin swords have a special meaning - the short sword of the twin sword is responsible for summoning a rescue teammate when the protagonist is in crisis, and the long sword of the twin sword directly It has become a common weapon in the protagonist's equipment column, and with the passage of time, on the eve of going to Zhongzhou, the long sword has given birth to a weapon spirit.

Originally, his butterfly effect had already messed up too many things, such as the dagger originally belonged to Gu Lingxiu, but now it seems that the relationship between the two...is almost irrelevant.

Even because of her own sister, it seems that there is a tendency to develop into a bad situation - a silly ball will not be so straightforward, and Gu Lingxiu has directly stated that she does not have a good impression of Qiu Boyu.And Qiu Boyu's attitude towards her was similar to that of other people - this in itself explained his attitude.

Tsk, it's a mess.

"Since this is the case...Qiyan, try to see if you can deal with this." Qiu Boyu threw both swords to Zhou Qiyan.

"what?"

Zhou Qiyan had already left her brother's arms, and was watching the two of them coming and going. She was taken aback when she heard the words, and took the pair of twin swords. The habit she had developed in the past eight years made her subconsciously prepare to do it. After all, Qiu Boyu There are too many failed products that have been made.

——and then realized something was wrong.

"Dispose of it??"

"That's right." Qiu Boyu said with an innocent face, "This was originally made as a gift for Zhenjun, but now Zhenjun doesn't want to accept it, so this gift seems meaningless."

"Are you willing?" Zhou Qiran stared at him, and raised his hand to signal Zhou Qiyan not to do anything.

"Why don't you give up?" Qiu Boyu said it as a matter of course, "If Zhenjun doesn't want it, then I don't want it."

"..."

Zhou Qiran believes that, as the creator, this silly ball definitely knows the potential of this pair of twin swords!Even if you don't talk about the finished product, the materials used in the twin swords, such as the spirit treasure fetus obtained from the Xiantian Lingbao Cave, are extremely valuable and rare treasures, he doesn't believe that this kid is really willing to destroy them!

Qiu Boyu looked at Zhou Qiran with a firm look in his eyes.
