"Disciple Sun Huo, please pay homage to my uncle. I missed the time of Ying Mao. Please forgive me for my sins."
Still three or four steps away from the table, Sun Huo stopped and stood still, saluting respectfully.
The old man was very satisfied with Sun Huo's still humble and respectful attitude, and raised his hand to help him.
"Get up, there's no need to be polite. You were late for a reason, so that's another matter. Now your body has completely recovered?"
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. We have recovered." Sun Huo stood up straight with his hands tied, and responded with a hint of gratitude.
"That's good. Sun Huo, I've already discussed your situation with Junior Brother Wang. Since you are determined to inherit the Golden Touch Hall, you should now take back the inner disciples' belongings that you deserved before. I hope you can cultivate diligently in the future.
Immortal way, please restart the gold-sharing process as soon as possible." Pushing forward a black storage bag on the table, the old man said with a slight smile.
Sun Huo hurriedly stepped forward, took the storage bag with both hands solemnly, bowed again to express his gratitude, and then put it directly into his arms.
"Don't you check to see what's inside, or if there's anything missing?"
Seeing Sun Huo's unprobing behavior, the old man raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.
Hearing such a question, Sun Huo did not dare to be negligent, and quickly bowed and agreed: "This disciple does not dare to have doubts about the master, so there is no need to check."
After saying this, Sun Huo secretly raised his eyes to look at the old man, only to see him looking at him with a half-smile.
"Okay, don't just bend down and reply. Your body is not meant for this." The old man stood up, walked around the table to Sun Huo, and patted his round shoulder.
He pressed on the thick and strong arm again.
"Considering that you want to practice this body-training technique, I replaced the two low-level magic weapons that were supposed to be distributed and instead asked for a bottle of Qingyuan Dan from Baicao Pavilion. After all, those two magic weapons
The weapon is fine for bluffing mortals, but when it comes to fighting among us monks, it is completely out of reach. Although there are only five pills, and they are low-grade elixirs, it is better than nothing when used in practice. In addition, the bag
There are also ten low-level spiritual stones in it, which are also a one-time reward for you as an inner disciple when you first start."
After returning to the Taishi chair and sitting down, the old man stroked his beard and added an explanation in a leisurely manner.
Hearing what the old man said, Sun Huo's face turned a little red, and he was so happy that he bowed to thank him. Thinking of what the old man had just said, he didn't know what to do, so he just raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
, grinning silly.
"As for the following chores, this is how it goes. I plan to teach you how to refine weapons for a month first, and then I will arrange tasks for you. As long as you can complete the tasks according to the amount every month, the rest of the time is up to you.
If you handle it yourself, you can use it more for cultivation. If you fail to do even this, not only will there be no reward, but your spirit stones will also be taken away as a penalty."
Seeing Sun Huo acting silly at this moment, the old man changed his face and coldly announced Sun Huo's future work.
Hearing the change in the old man's tone, Sun Huo suddenly came back to his senses. Thinking about such a decision, he seemed hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Seeing Sun Huo's unnatural expression, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Being able to practice weapon refining without being required to take on heavy tasks, what's the point of dissatisfaction with such a good thing?
What about.
"Reporting to my uncle, I don't want to start practicing weapon refining yet."
Such an answer was beyond the old man's expectation, but he did not immediately get angry because of it and began to scold him. Instead, he raised his chin with one hand and looked into Sun Huo's eyes, wanting to hear what he would say next.
"Master uncle had previously painstakingly arranged to do all kinds of menial tasks in order to secretly temper the disciple's temperament and also provide some physical training. Although the test has ended now, the disciple is still willing to start with these chores to make himself solid.
, never forget your true heart." Sun Huo spoke his thoughts in a calm voice.
After hearing what Sun Huo said, the old man's originally stern face softened and became full of smiles.
"I didn't expect that my nephew is such an honest person and is willing to do the work of ordinary men again. You have such a good heart, just put it away and don't throw it away. As for these tasks, I will let you do them now.
, don’t you think it’s overkill? Besides, as for the so-called body training, it’s okay if you didn’t know about it before. With your current strength to do those things, how much room for improvement do you think there is?”
The old man picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.
After lowering his head and thinking about it carefully, Sun Huo felt that he had no reason to object, so he respectfully agreed.
The next time, the old man took him to a room for refining weapons and assigned it to Sun Huo for daily use.
After explaining several precautions in using the weapon refining room, the old man told Sun Huo that he would start to formally teach the weapon refining method in three days. For now, just familiarize yourself with how to operate it, and then hurriedly left the room. p>
After watching the old man leave, Sun Huo turned on the shielding restriction in the room and began to look at it curiously.
Compared with the Golden Hall, the space of this refining room is much smaller. It is just a rectangular building about ten feet in size, but it is made of the same black stones.
After listening to the old man's introduction, Sun Huo already knew that this black stone is called weak water stone, which is very similar to another material called dock stone. They are both extremely resistant to high temperatures and are not afraid of being smelted by earth fire.
It's just that compared to the two, the texture of weak water stone is lighter and will be relatively more popular among immortal cultivators.
A square fire pit was opened in the inner part of the house, about three feet square. With the fire pit as the center, many complicated runes were carved on the ground around it. It was a control circle about ten feet in size, but
I don’t know what exactly it can be used for.
There is a green futon placed not far from the fire pit, and a white jade plate lies quietly on it.
On the four corners of the fire pit are connected four lifelike red Suzaku statues. Their sharp beaks are open and they are spitting towards the center of the fire pit.
On the wall closest to the fire pond, there was a white jade plaque about ten feet in size, with densely packed text engraved on it. After Sun Huo took a rough look at it, he understood that this recorded the specific method of driving the fire pond, and he could
Adjust the flame size.
In addition, the head part of the Suzaku statue is movable, so it is very convenient to control the flames to be sprayed into the air or into the fire pit.
On the other side of the room away from the fire pit, there is a huge stone table about two feet long. There are bottles and cans of various shapes on it, but they are all empty.
Sun Huo was no stranger to some of the objects. They were the instruments he used to experiment with refining materials. But here they seem to be more complete and diverse.
After carefully looking at these familiar and unfamiliar utensils several times, Sun Huo reluctantly looked away, came to the jade tablet, and carefully read the driving method.
After thinking about it several times and making sure that he understood it correctly, Sun Huo walked to the front of the futon.
The mantra was recited silently in the hand-kneading technique, and four red lights flew to the bird's head one by one. After the red light blended into the bird's head, four thin dark red flames spurted out. A hot breath
Immediately spread from the fire pit.
Sun Huo then tried various subtle operations such as how to change the thickness and temperature of the flame, as well as the tilting of the bird's head.
Such a unique method of controlling fire made Sun Huo feel very fresh, and he played with it with great interest for a long time. After knowing that he could control it freely, he put out the ground fire.
It's a pity that he has never been exposed to the method of earth fire refining, and there are no materials around him to practice with. Otherwise, he can try it himself now.
The jade plate on the futon is the one that controls the activation of the magic circle. Since it is not in any process of refining the weapon, it is difficult to activate it for trial use.
Out of boredom, Sun Huo picked up the array plate and put it aside, then sat down cross-legged on the futon.
Taking advantage of this waiting time, he planned to pack up the items given by the sect first, and then take the opportunity to learn the nameless body-training technique.
Sun Huo took out the black storage bag from his arms and poured it down. A small pile of things suddenly appeared in front of him.
A purple auspicious cloud gown with a white background, a bottle of Qingyuan Dan that Master Zhang mentioned, ten colorful low-level spiritual stones, and a set of daily tools.
In addition, Sun Huo also saw something extra, which he had never seen before when he received the items, a gray-white crystal ball.
Sun Huo looked at it curiously for a few times, then held it in his hand and tossed it twice. He felt that the weight was not very heavy. Judging from the faint aura emanating from it, it should be a low-level magic weapon.
"It's strange. Not only does a disciple only have two basic magic weapons, but the red-faced old man also helped him replace it with elixirs. Why is there another one here?" Sun Huo muttered to himself, not understanding what was going on.
Things.
Out of the idea of experimenting, Sun Huo waved his hand and used the object repelling technique, wanting to see what kind of effect this crystal ball had.
However, when the spell hits the crystal ball, it automatically and inexplicably spreads apart. This has happened several times.
Seeing that he could not drive it, Sun Huo had no choice but to put the crystal ball together with the formation disk, preparing to ask the old man what happened after he understood the technique.
After sorting out the things and putting them into his storage bag, Sun Huo took out the body-refining jade slip, put it on his forehead and began to meditate.
He originally thought that it would only take an hour or two to comprehend the techniques, but what Sun Huo didn't expect was that he seemed to be possessed by a demon while sitting there, and a day and a night passed without him realizing it. So when he woke up
When I came over and saw Shi Chen in the stone chamber, I was shocked.
