Yao Yun spoke very casually, as if he was talking about what he had eaten today.
But it was another matter in the eyes of Cang Man and Hu Yi.
Cang Man was naturally surprised and couldn't believe it, while Hu Yi felt very ashamed. Before, he broke through and became a Qi Refiner. He was so excited and excited. Look at this king, relaxed and free-spirited. This kind of magnanimity is simply incomparable.
!
Before Yao Yun finished speaking, the two of them bowed and congratulated.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Yao Yun waved his hand: "After listening to Gu's words, Gu is now a little undecided, whether to become a warrior or a witch."
Cang Man was greatly puzzled: "What does your Majesty mean, is that you now rely on martial arts to become a Qi Refiner?"
"Yes, Gu is practicing witchcraft very quickly, but after all, he can't achieve it overnight. However, in the battle last night, Gu made an unexpected breakthrough in martial arts, and now Gu is worried!"
Cang Man and Hu Yi looked at each other, which was a bit shocking. It was a lucky thing for ordinary people to become Qi Refiners, but it was not good for their own king, who actually felt worried.
He is worthy of being a king. After three years of silence, he became a blockbuster!
Cang Man was naturally happy when he heard this, but he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is a huge difference between martial arts and the power of the mind. You'd better choose to specialize in one, and not both, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Why not? I heard that the second elder said that the two cannot practice at the same time, but the bamboo slips also say that a truly powerful Qi practitioner can practice both, and they can do whatever they want."
Cang Man nodded: "That's right. What warriors seek is to be brave and brave. What warriors and qi refiners seek is the word "fight", to hate the sky and the earth without a ring, to fight with the sky, the earth, and the creatures in the world;
Qi practitioners who specialize in the power of the mind are different. They sense the heaven and the earth, follow the sky, and borrow the power of the sky. The two are walking two completely different paths, so it is not wise to practice both in the early stages of practice."
At this time, Yao Yun also had similar memories in his mind. After reasoning, he smiled slightly and said: "When you practice to a high level, you will reach the same goal through different paths, and there will be no distinction between schools."
"The king is so knowledgeable and insightful that Cangman admires him endlessly!"
Yao Yun was a little disappointed. No wonder he felt that his progress after breaking through the Qi Refiner with martial arts was slow, far behind Hu Yi. It turned out that the key was that he had achieved a small success in the power of his mind. He did not have the courage of a warrior to fight against the sky and the earth. This
Only then can the cultivation level be neither embarrassing nor awkward.
"So, Gu can only be considered half a qigong practitioner now?"
Cang Man and Hu Yi smiled awkwardly. It was neither an answer nor a no answer. They could only stand there and laugh.
After a moment of disappointment, Yao Yun looked very free and easy: "In this case, the path of martial arts is not suitable for me. I should practice witchcraft. Anyway, by the beginning of next year, I will be able to enter the Tao with the power of my mind."
This is not Yao Yun bragging, but the progress of Yao Yun's "Lingshan Ten Witches Heart Technique" has exceeded his expectations. He has made rapid progress. He has already reached the level of delineating the seven great witches with the power of his mind. It is estimated that it will not take long to reach the eight great witches.
realm.
In this way, he is not far away from becoming a Qi Refiner, and this path is obviously more suitable for Yao Yun, so it will naturally be more long-term.
Yao Yun's free and easy attitude admired Cang Man and Hu Yi very much. If an ordinary person became a Qi Refiner, it wouldn't matter what school he was in. It would be great to become a Qi Refiner, but the king could afford to take it up and let it go, with a long-term vision and a long-term vision.
Confident and high-spirited.
A confident and ambitious king is a king worth following!
Yao Yun thought of something: "Although I am not planning to major in martial arts, it is still good to practice a little bit, and I may be able to enter the mountain with a legitimate name!"
Hearing the previous sentence, Cang Man and Hu Yi had no objection. There was nothing wrong with practicing martial arts to keep fit, but it was impossible to do so when entering the mountains.
"Your Majesty, this is not possible. After all, I have not officially become a Qi Refiner. The Second Elder and the Dragon King..."
Yao Yun waved his hand: "No problem, I'm going to the depths of the mountains. I'm just going to inspect the newly excavated mine."
Hu Yi showed doubts: "Your Majesty, you are talking about the recently excavated iron mine. Your Majesty, that thing is useless. The iron produced is like tofu. It cannot be used to make weapons or even ordinary utensils."
In fact, the metallurgical industry in this world is quite mature, especially bronze ware. Even iron can be smelted. However, due to the lack of steelmaking technology and heat treatment process, the quality of the smelted iron blocks is not good and is basically useless.
, so bronze wares are still popular today.
In the ancient history of the previous generation, people refined lump iron and then refined pig iron, which allowed iron tools to gradually enter the stage of history.
Iron is divided into pig iron, steel, and wrought iron due to different carbon contents. Steel can be obtained by decarburizing pig iron, and steel can be obtained by carburizing wrought iron. In his previous life, Yao Yun was very fond of cold weapons. He often read information on this aspect and even used it himself.
I have made weapons such as daggers, so I know a lot about them.
Before traveling through time, he had watched videos on YouTube of people using local methods to refine steel, and he had gained a lot of experience.
Another aspect is the heat treatment process, which is commonly known as quenching. Of course, in the previous generation, heat treatment was a very complete subject, and quenching treatment was just one of the processes.
Iron without quenching is really tofu. It cannot cut anything and will be broken if dropped on the ground. It is not "soft" and is not hard at all.
For all of the above reasons, iron has become the "tofu" in Hu Yi's mouth.
Yao Yun didn't want to say anything more, the king wanted to have a sense of mystery.
Soon, Yao Yun had no choice but to go to the witch temple and ask the two elders for instructions under the repeated requests of his two subordinates.
When Wu Tong heard Yao Yun's words, he immediately became happy: "Your Majesty, you have thought very carefully. The power of the mind is indeed more suitable for the Majesty. The further you go, the easier it will be. On the contrary, the gains of forced martial arts outweigh the losses."
The bald dragon rarely looked down on Yao Yun at this time: "It's not bad, he's not a complete waste."
Yao Yun smiled and did not continue the topic, but said: "I have become a Qi Refiner. Although I am only half a Qi Refiner, I can still be considered a true king..."
Hearing this, Wu Tong and Bald Long's hearts skipped a beat, fearing that Yao Yun would ask about King Xuan and the affairs of his family.
However, Yao Yun did not think of this, but thought to himself: "I am going to go into the mountain to inspect the newly excavated mine."
The bald dragon answered quickly: "It's that iron ore field. You kid knows how to fool around. What's the use of iron ore? If it weren't for the miners being ghosts, I would have wanted to question you a long time ago. I wasted time and money and ended up with a pile of junk.
.”
Yao Yun raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Long, you don't understand that iron ore is a good thing. It can make hard steel?"
"Steel?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was the first time they heard this word.
Wu Tong: "What is steel?"
Yao Yunzhong said: "It's very complicated to say, but to put it simply, it's the carbon content in iron. Iron is divided into pig iron, steel, and wrought iron because of the different carbon content. Steel can be obtained by decarburizing pig iron, and carburizing wrought iron can also
Steel can be obtained, which contains many smelting processes.
Forget it, even if I tell you, you don’t understand. All you need to know is that the steel I am going to refine is not brittle at all, on the contrary, it is harder and more tough than copper."
Yao Yun vowed so emphatically that everyone in the room was shocked.
And there is such a magical iron tool? It seems that the imperial capital does not have it!
