Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 314
Qin Chuan sighed secretly. He still underestimated the vigilance of others, but he would not put his own safety in the hands of others. While retreating and retreating, he pushed out his palms, and the two monks who came forward to arrest him were caught. "Fly a kite".

"Dare to resist, kill without pardon!" The captain Jin Danqi gave an order, and everyone took out magic weapons one after another. Guo Zheng and Zhang Hu hesitated, and then took out magic weapons.

The battle was about to break out, and at this moment, the sound of piercing the air came, and a warship flew from far to near, and stopped in front of it in a blink of an eye.

"It's Princess Xinyue who is here!" Everyone, including Captain Jindanqi, put down their magic weapons, with awe in their eyes.

The flying magic weapon arrived in the blink of an eye, and five female cultivators floated down very gracefully. The most eye-catching one was the female cultivator in front of her head, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, with picturesque eyebrows, and her long eyelashes blinked like It was as if she was talking, with a slender figure, and against the backdrop of the well-fitting silver armor, she looked extraordinarily enchanting.

He walked up to the fierce captain with his snow-white neck held high, and the captain immediately showed a flattering smile, "His Royal Highness, Chen San is very polite. If the garrison knows you are coming, he will come out to greet you in person!"

"Well, Chen San, what's going on with your sword-ridden situation?"

"The princess doesn't know that something happened to the Fengxian Army over the Bone Wasteland, and this person came here at this time, so I suspect that he is a spy!"

"Oh, surrender? Explain it more clearly!"

"It's like this..." The captain recounted what happened.

The silver-armored woman nodded, turned her head to Qin Chuan with a little playfulness, and said, "What do fellow Taoists say?"

"Hmph, is your Montenegrin army always repaying your kindness and revenge?"

In a word, both Guo Zheng and Zhang Hu lowered their heads with shame on their faces. Regardless of whether Qin Chuan was a spy or not, they really repaid their kindness, and it is inevitable to have a conscience.

The captain of Jindanqi didn't take it seriously, "I'd rather kill the wrong than let it go, even if you are wronged, so what, if you kill, you will kill!"

"Hehe, that's how it is. If your Montenegro Empire is full of people like this, I dare say it's not far from the end!"

"you…"

"Am I wrong? As long as people use a small countermeasure to say that you are actually an undercover agent, people who have the same idea as you will surely kill you and never let them go. By then, you in Montenegro will still be trustworthy." people?"

As soon as this remark came out, many members of the Black Mountain Army felt chills in their hearts. Although Qin Chuan's words were biased, it was unfortunate that the Black Mountain Empire had experienced this kind of cleansing, and many people were killed unjustly like this.

"Hehe, fellow daoist is right. Most of the time what Chen Duwei said is unacceptable. I will take him to express my apology to fellow daoist and thank you for your help!" After finishing speaking, the silver armored woman was blessed A salute.

"The princess can't do it!"

"Chen San, do you know that Hao Bin actually died at the hands of this fellow Taoist, if he wants your life, it might not be difficult!"

"What? How is this possible..."

"Is there anything impossible? You already know about the change of the Fengxian Army, but you don't know why it happened!"

"But...he's not yet at the golden core stage!"

"This is also where I am puzzled. I wonder if this fellow Taoist can explain it?" The silver armored woman turned her head and looked at Qin Chuan again.

Qin Chuan sighed. Unexpectedly, when he came to Zhongzhou, he would reveal his truth. It would be difficult to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the future, but he also had some doubts, "How does the princess decide that Hao Bin's death was caused by his subordinates?"

The silver-armored woman smiled slightly, and threw a jade slip over. Qin Chuan took a look at it, and there was a figure of his shadow in the jade slip, and he understood it all at once.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a talisman!" Naturally, he wouldn't say that he was relying on the power of the Lingbao.

"A talisman?"

"Yeah, it's a pity that Master gave me a fairy talisman from his old man!"

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized that even if a fake alchemy cultivator had a powerful magic weapon, it would be even more difficult to kill a battle-tested Nascent Soul Stage by two levels. Although talismans are as rare as spirit treasures, it is not impossible for some old guys with deep background to get one or two. It is normal to give them to direct disciples to save their lives.

The silver-armored woman became interested in the master he was talking about. Heishan Kingdom and Fengxian Kingdom belong to the "border barren" area of ​​Zhongzhou, and those who own fairy talismans are definitely not ordinary people. For helping each other, my Dugu family deserves a generous gift!"

Qin Chuan could not help but smile wryly when he heard the intention of the other party's solicitation, he even made up another lie to cover up a non-existent master, but he suddenly had an idea, one of the main purposes of coming to Zhongzhou was to inquire about the Distracted whereabouts, it's not bad to use him as a prevarication, if the other party hears about this person, wouldn't it be a surprise?

"My master has always been erratic, I just wanted to find out if you have heard of Xia Zhiyang!"

"What, you are actually Xia Zhiyang's apprentice?" The silver armor woman reacted a little loudly.

"Why, do you have news about Master's old man?" Qin Chuan's face showed joy, he really didn't expect that Xia Zhiyang's whereabouts would be found so easily.

The silver-armored woman calmed down, "It's not just me, there are not many people in this million miles who don't know your master's name, your master made a big disturbance in the Divine Artifact Sect more than ten years ago, don't you know that fellow Taoists don't know?"

"Sacred Artifact Sect? More than ten years ago? Oh... I was in retreat at that time, does the fairy know what happened to my master?" Qin Chuan asked eagerly.

The silver-armored woman did not doubt that she had it, and said slowly: "I heard that I was injured by the Supreme Elder of the Divine Weapon Sect and escaped, and there has been no news since then!"

Qin Chuan's expression changed several times. On the one hand, he felt sorry for missing Xia Zhiyang, and on the other hand, it was a blessing in misfortune to know that the other party did not die.

The silver-armored woman thought that he was worried about the safety of her master, so she comforted her and said, "With your master's strength, since you can escape from the cultivators of the transformation stage, there is no problem in protecting yourself. Just now I heard Chen San say that you want to be in my Black Mountain Empire." Standing on the ground, I can help with this, maybe your teacher will come back in the future, and you will have a chance to meet!"

Solving the identity issue is indeed the most important thing for Qin Chuan at the moment, but since Qi Shenzong has an ancestor in the stage of transforming into a god, he is definitely not a small sect. , isn't this Montenegro empire asking for trouble?So he felt that the silver-armored woman's words could not be fully believed.

"Fairy, don't bother, after all, Qi Shenzong is not easy to mess with!"

"Hehe, are you worried that I will sell Fellow Daoist? Doing so will not benefit our Black Mountain Empire at all. I can swear by my heart that I will never be malicious to Fellow Daoist. Of course, helping Fellow Daoist is not without purpose. On the one hand, I want to thank fellow daoists for their help before, and on the other hand, I really need help from fellow daoists for some trivial matters!"

"Oh, let's hear it?"

"Since Fellow Daoist is Senior Xia's disciple, he must have some attainments in weapon refining, right?"

"Refining? My qualifications are dull, I just understand a little!" Qin Chuan felt that the other party's topic span was a bit too big.

The silver-armored woman smiled sweetly, "Famous teachers give rise to outstanding apprentices, fellow daoists don't have to be modest. What I want to ask fellow daoists for is to represent my Black Mountain Empire in the 'Artifact Refining the World' competition!"

"The Artifact Refining World Competition, what is this?"

The silver-armored woman couldn't help showing a strange look on her face, "Fellow Daoist, who learned from a master craftsman, doesn't know about the crafting competition?"

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't say that he just came to Zhongzhou, his eyes were darkened, "To be honest, I have been living in seclusion with my master before, and his old man has rarely talked about outside things except for refining weapons, so I don't care about the world of cultivating immortals." I don’t know, I don’t even have an identity!”

"I see. The so-called Artifact Refining Competition is organized by the Zhongzhou Artifact Refiner Alliance. It is held every 20 years and is divided into five sub-divisions..."

The Yinjia woman explained the situation of the Qilian Contest in detail, and Qin Chuan understood that the Qilian Tianxia Contest is a magical thing, which is roughly equivalent to a "professional league for refining equipment", which includes both profit factors and entertainment. ingredients.

For example, if someone from the Montenegro Empire can enter the top ten in the northern division where they are located, they will be able to obtain a pseudo-lingbaoji battleship. This thing is of great strategic significance to their empire, because the warship will carry four sets of Shenwu Kai. A sky formation and a set of converging spiritual light formations.

Qin Chuan has already experienced the power of this kind of flying magic weapon, and the warship of the pseudo-Lingbaoji is several times more powerful than the one he has seen, so all the cultivating forces are very fond of this kind of reward, and the Black Mountain Empire does not Exceptions, and even if you can't make it into the top ten, as long as the ranking is not too bad, there will be other rewards.

"I agreed to participate in the equipment refining competition, but I still have a few questions to ask. What qualifications are required to participate in this kind of competition. With your country's strength, is there a shortage of candidates for the competition?"

The silver-armored woman smiled wryly, "To tell the truth, my Dugu family established the country with martial arts, and I have never lost to others in fighting methods, but I have not had any outstanding achievements in other aspects. It turns out that there are two master craftsmen in the country. Not long ago, they passed away. One person and the other are also very old. Even if they try their best to cultivate disciples, no more than ten people can reach the level of an equipment refining master. Moreover, there is an age limit for participating in the equipment refining competition. They must have a bone age of less than a hundred years. Even less, up to now we can only make up four people, if there are fellow daoists participating, we don't need to waste a spot!"

"The requirement is to be a refiner to be qualified. How can I obtain this qualification?"

"Our Black Mountain Empire has an appraisal institution set up by the Artifact Refiner Alliance. As long as the level of Daoists meets the requirements, they can obtain the corresponding qualifications!"

"Okay, then Fairy Lao will worry about my identity and the identification of the craftsman!"

The two parties reached an agreement, and the silver-armored woman introduced herself. Her name is Dugu Xinyue, known as Princess Xinyue. She is the niece of the current emperor of the Black Mountain Empire and the only daughter of King Ruyang.

Dugu Xinyue was very careful in handling affairs, and issued a password on the spot to prevent anyone from revealing Qin Chuan's identity, and at the same time gave him the name of a guest of the Ruyang Palace.

The garrison at Pingnan Pass heard the news and welcomed everyone into the city. Dugu Xinyue sent a female cultivator to settle Qin Chuan in the posthouse and concentrate on her own affairs.

Soon after, soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized, obviously there was a battle to be fought, Qin Chuan naturally would not wander around the city at this time, lest he be suspected of spying on the military situation.

For the next three days, Dugu Xinyue didn't show up until the afternoon of the fourth day. Looking at her breezy face, she knew that she had won the battle this time.

"Congratulations to the princess for winning!"

"Hehe, it's just a visit to the City of Bone, and you have neglected Fellow Daoist Qin these few days!"

"It's important, the princess doesn't need to be courteous!"

"Well, tomorrow I will take fellow daoists to Longjiang City, the capital of our Black Mountain Empire. There are some materials about the identification of refining tools. Fellow daoists, browse them first!"

After seeing off Dugu Xinyue, Qin Chuan began to browse through the jade slips. The appraisal of a craftsman is divided into three parts. The first part is theoretical questions and answers; the second part is material screening; the third part is refining crafts.

After reading these materials, he has an idea in his mind. As long as he is not too unlucky, the qualification certificate of a craftsman is a piece of cake for him.

The next day, Qin Chuan boarded Dugu Xinyue's warboat and rushed to Longjiang City.

The princess who replaced the silver armor was a little less heroic, and more of a daughter's charm. She played the role of a tour guide along the way, explaining the origin of the Montenegro Empire and the scenic spots of the places it passed. Come on, of course, there are people who try to get some news by beating around the bush, but in front of an "old fox" like Qin Chuan, her tricks didn't work.

After two days and one night, I came to Longjiang City.

Like many cities, this big city is built on the mountain, and a big river has become a natural moat.

After entering the city, he first went to see Ruyang King Dugushou.

Dugushou spoke slowly and looked very kind, but his cultivation was at the late Yuanying stage, so Qin Chuan naturally did not dare to treat tigers like cats.

After a brief conversation, he was arranged to live in a courtyard with five entrances and five exits in the back street of the Wangfu. This is the place where the guest of the Wangfu lives. As a second-class guest, he has a two-story building of his own.

The next day, I followed Dugu Xinyue to apply for an identity card, and then went to the appraisal center established by the Zhongzhou Artifact Refiner Alliance.

Seeing the words "Appraisal Center", Qin Chuan's heartstrings were touched again, and he entered this magnificent building.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the princess is here, and the old man is far away to welcome me, forgive me for my sin!"

"Senior Wang is too polite. I have something to trouble you today. This is my friend Qin Chuan. He wants to participate in the appraisal of the craftsman, and sign up for the next year's World Craftsmanship Competition!"

"Oh?" The short and fat old man looked Qin Chuan up and down a few times, then nodded, "That's right, it really is the young Junyan, and the appraisal of Fellow Daoist Qin, let the old man personally preside over it!"

"Thank you senior!"

Lonely Xinyue deliberately watched Qin Chuan's performance, asked for favors, and entered the quiet room of the assessment.

The chief examiner was naturally an old man surnamed Wang. In order to prevent cheating, there were two other people watching.

"Now the appraisal begins. Let's examine the refining theory first. There are ten questions in total. The first question: to refine a flying sword with red flame crystal copper as the main material, if adding azurite crystal, what is the ratio!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but glanced at the old guy. Could this old man be making things difficult on purpose?Red Flame Crystal Copper and Fire Blue Crystal, one water and one fire, are just incompatible with each other, and it is impossible to fuse them together. If they insist on putting them together, they must be reconciled with suitable materials, and the proportions must not be the slightest difference. Failure is inevitable in the magic weapon process. This kind of topic should be the assessment of the master craftsmen. Could it be that the craftsmen in Zhongzhou have higher requirements than Hanhai?
