After leaving the General Affairs Hall, Zhou Yang went straight to the top of Yuquan Peak.
The monk stationed on the top of the mountain was still the seventh grandfather Zhou Jun. The old man was sitting under the tall [Dragon Scale Tree] on the top of the mountain as always. When he saw Zhou Yang coming up, he forced him to sit down and taste his newly made medicinal tea.
.
The elder invited him so enthusiastically that it was hard for Zhou Yang to refuse, not to mention that he really liked the herbal tea made by the elder.
But this time when he was drinking tea with the old man, his eyes were mostly on the [Dragon Scale Tree] beside him.
[Dragon scale tree] is a very rare and special spiritual tree. It is named because of the dragon scale-like scales growing on the tree.
The scales of the century-old [Dragon Scale Tree] are black and as hard as fine iron. They can be used to refine first-level defensive weapons and are first-level spiritual trees.
The scales of the [Dragon Scale Tree], which is more than five hundred years old, will turn into silver-grey and are harder than black iron. It can be used to refine second-level defensive magic weapons and is a second-level spiritual wood.
If the [Dragon Scale Tree] can grow for more than a thousand years, the tree scales will turn silver. At that time, the tree scales can be used to refine third-level defensive magic weapons, which will become third-level spiritual wood.
It is said that once the [Dragon Scale Tree] is more than five thousand years old, the tree scales will turn into a golden color like real dragon scales, which can be used to refine fifth-level defensive magic weapons. It is something that the ancestors of the Golden Elixir stage would fight for even if they broke their heads.
Robbed treasure.
This [Dragon Scale Tree] of the Zhou family is about 800 years old, and it is not far away from becoming a third-level spiritual tree. When Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, discovered Yuquan Peak, this spiritual tree grew on the mountain.
After that, about every ten years or so, the Zhou family would take a few scales from the [Dragon Scale Tree] and refine them into magical weapons. The main material of Zhou Yang's [Silver Gang Shield] magical weapon was a piece of scale.
Scales removed from a tree.
Although Zhou Yang knew the origin of this tree in the past, he had seen so many hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old giant trees on the mountain that he didn't have much feeling for this spiritual tree that looked like a pine tree.
In his eyes at that time, the value of this second-order spiritual tree was far inferior to the several second-order spiritual fruit trees "Fire Crystal Jujube Tree" in the spiritual orchard on the mountain.
At least the "Fire Crystal Jujube Tree" can bear fruit every five years. For a monk like him who practices masculine skills and below the stage of Qi training, the benefits gained from eating one jujube are worth ten days of hard work, not to mention
The taste of dates was also great, far better than any fruit he had eaten in his previous life.
But now that he has become a weapon refiner, the value of [Dragon Scale Tree] in Zhou Yang's eyes has suddenly increased.
"Hehehe, Xiaojiu, you also want to take advantage of this [Dragon Scale Tree]? It's not that I look down on you. Although you are already a second-level weapon refiner now, the scales of this [Dragon Scale Tree] have not yet had their turn.
You use it. Every piece of these tree scales that falls into the hands of the old patriarch is a second-level high-grade magic weapon. No matter how much he values you, he will not let you waste these treasures until you become a second-level magic weapon.
It’s almost the same as when you were a top-grade weapon refiner!”
Seeing Zhou Yang always looking at the [Dragon Scale Tree], old man Zhou Jun didn't know what he was thinking, so he just laughed and hit him with unceremonious words.
For an old man, it is also a great sense of achievement to see such an outstanding junior like Zhou Yang suffer.
Just a few seconds after the smile on the old man's face bloomed, he was shocked by Zhou Yang's next words.
"What Grandpa Seventh said is that my grandnephew's current strength as a second-level mid-level weapon refiner is indeed not enough to use the scales of the [Dragon Scale Tree] to refine weapons. For such a treasure, it is better to wait for my grandnephew to master the weapon refining skills in the future.
When it reaches the second level of high quality, it is not too late to start refining it when you are confident enough."
"What? Your weapon refining skills have broken through to the second-level mid-level!"
Old man Zhou Jun looked at Zhou Yang with a shocked face, his voice was a little out of tune.
Didn’t it mean that this kid only became a second-level low-grade weapon refiner last year?
Why has it only been a year since he became a second-level mid-level weapon refiner?
Could it be that the old patriarch quietly went down the mountain to give him extra lessons?
The old man looked at the young junior in front of him with a shocked expression, feeling that his brain was a little exhausted.
Could it be that in addition to being a genius in cultivation, this young junior also has an even more talented talent for refining weapons?
Otherwise, why would he turn from a layman who knew nothing to a second-level mid-level weapon refiner in less than five years?
If he remembered correctly, even the old patriarch, the third-level high-grade weapon refiner with the most talent in the history of the clan, had spent a lot of money from learning weapon refining to becoming a second-level mid-level weapon refiner.
Twelve years!
"Seventh Grandpa? Seventh Grandpa?"
Zhou Yang looked at the old man Zhou Yun who was shocked by the news revealed in his words, and said in his heart that he was not satisfied, it was a lie.
After all, being a 22-year-old second-level middle-grade weapon refiner is indeed something worth bragging about. Not to mention the Zhou family, a foundation-building family with a history of only more than 200 years, the sect has inherited more than 2,000 years of history.
In Huangshamen in 2008, this speed was enough to rank among the top in history.
Even he himself had never thought that his talent in weapon refining could be so good.
Originally, when he was a first-level weapon refiner, he didn't show any abnormalities, but after being promoted to a second-level weapon refiner, when several materials were needed to be mixed to refine the magic weapon, he discovered that he was in the most critical metal.
It has excellent control over the proportion of solution and the control of heat and temperature.
Later, comparing the deeds of other weapon refiners recorded in the weapon refining classics, as well as the weapon refining experience notes given by the old clan leader, he found that his talent in this area was several times stronger than that of most weapon refiners of the same level.
.
If his cultivation level were not yet low, and if he didn't have the materials to refine a second-order high-grade magic weapon, he felt that he could try to refine a second-order high-grade magic weapon now.
"Is Xiaojiu here? Come to the cave quickly. I have something to tell you."
The greeting from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was a timely relief for the somewhat embarrassed old man Zhou Jun. The old man's tense face relaxed due to too much shock, and he quickly said with a relaxed face: "Xiaojiu, did you hear that?
?The old patriarch is calling you, hurry up and don’t let him wait for you."
If you see through it without telling it off, you are still a good grandson.
Of course, Zhou Yang would not embarrass the old man just for the sake of his temper. When he saw this, he suppressed a smile and bowed to the old man to say goodbye, striding briskly towards the cave of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
"Hey, I'm so old, I can't keep up with the pace of young people!"
Under the [Dragon Scale Tree], the old man looked at Zhou Yang's leaving figure and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
However, this sigh only lasted for a few seconds. The expression on the old man's face changed. He instantly turned red and his eyes were shining. He laughed: "Hahaha, young people nowadays are really amazing.
A two-year-old second-level mid-level weapon refiner, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that my old man would still see such a genius appear in my Zhou family during his lifetime. God bless my Zhou family, God bless the Zhou family!"
For family elders like Zhou Yun who have worked hard for the family all their lives, there is probably nothing that makes them happier than seeing outstanding descendants appear in the family.
Those large families that have ancestors at the Golden Core stage or even great monks at the Nascent Soul stage who have inherited the family for hundreds of thousands of years may have internal fights and secret fights due to disputes between concubines and concubines and resource allocation issues.
But for a small family like the Zhou family, which has only been passed down for five or six generations, has a family history of less than three hundred years, and has only one foundation-building monk to support its appearance, the only way is to unite, unite, unite, and unite everyone's strength into one place.
The only right way is to concentrate all resources on cultivating talented children from a few families who have foundation-building qualifications.
Think about it, when purchasing a "Foundation Building Pill" will consume the entire family's savings, if the family continues to fight among themselves and divides into factions, the final result will definitely be that no one can build the foundation, and ultimately the entire family will be destroyed.
The inheritance has been cut off.
Immortal cultivators have a lifespan that far exceeds that of ordinary people, and their wisdom far exceeds that of ordinary people. Of course, they will not make such stupid mistakes.
In this kind of environment, even if someone is greedy and wants to harm the public and enrich himself, once he is discovered, he will definitely be attacked by other people to correct the family rules.
Therefore, to see such an outstanding junior like Zhou Yang, even if he is not his direct descendant, the elders of the Zhou family, such as Zhou Yun, are greatly gratified and feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
When a family becomes stronger, their descendants will live a better life, gain more cultivation resources in the future, and have greater potential to build foundations. The reason is that simple.
On the other side, after Zhou Yang entered the cave on the top of the mountain and met the old patriarch Zhou Minghan again, he was taken directly to his weapon refining room by the old patriarch before he could salute.
"I heard what you said outside just now. Now you can refine a second-level medium-grade magic weapon and show it to me. Tell me what materials you want, and I will open the supply for you!"
The old patriarch Zhou Minghan is worthy of being the leader of the clan, and he speaks with confidence. The second-level spiritual objects that monks usually fight for during the Qi training period are like cabbage in his eyes, and he can supply them freely.
What else does Zhou Yang have to say?
Of course, just roll up your sleeves and get to work.
After wasting three materials in a row, he successfully refined a second-level mid-grade magic weapon, the Flying Sword, on the fourth refinement.
"Yes, yes, your weapon refining skills have really improved a lot. Even if this flying sword is placed in those shops, it still meets the standard. It seems that your weapon refining talent is much higher than I originally expected."
.”
After the old patriarch inspected Zhou Yang's newly refined magical weapon, the Flying Sword, he, who had always been serious about smiling in front of other family members, couldn't help but show a cheerful smile this time.
The old man was in a happy mood, so he naturally gave him a reward. He stretched out his hand, smiled and said to Zhou Yang: "Now you come to see me refining the weapon, and mix the skin and rat skin of the [Gold-eating Rat] you obtained."
Take the tooth out and give it to me. This time I will refine two second-level high-grade magic weapons for you, one for attack and one for defense, for free. This is my reward for you to become a second-level weapon refiner."
