The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although Zhang Zhicheng gave his own explanation, it was obviously not convincing.

This Yeluzi weapon-making theory is like when someone is doing a chemical experiment and says that it is not a big deal to use a measuring cylinder instead of a beaker, and it saves the need to pour various chemical reagents around.

If Zhang Zhicheng was his weapon-refining successor, the three arctic cold palace golden elixir-stage weapon refiners would have strangled this unscrupulous person to death.

Even Lin Musen, the new weapon refiner, felt like he couldn't bear to watch after seeing Zhang Zhicheng's outrageous operation. He originally thought that there were only two weapon-refining schools in the world, the ancient method and the new method. Unexpectedly, he actually saw the legendary third weapon-refining school in Zhang Zhicheng today -

Wild magic weapon refiner!

Even the deviant Lin Musen was frightened by Zhang Zhicheng's bold operation, let alone the three traditional weapon refiners.

Elder Zhai looked at Zhang Zhicheng's illegal operation of "checking and repairing at the same time" and scolded him repeatedly: "What kind of fallacy are you talking about? Didn't Qianjimen teach you what the "Standard Equipment Refining Process Safety Operation Specifications" are?"

"Standard Refining Process Safety Operation Specifications"?

Zhang Zhicheng had indeed heard of this thing, but he had only heard of the name.

He really didn't know what the specific content of this specification was.

After all, when he was thrown into the garbage recycling station to pick up rubbish, no one taught him how to refine weapons. He just figured it out by himself, so he could only vaguely say: "The true fire of life is the divine consciousness. It is an extension and has strong sensing ability. As long as it is operated properly, nothing will happen!"

Zhang Zhicheng’s answer was like a student in Earth’s chemistry class arguing that it’s not a big deal to use a measuring cylinder as a reaction vessel and heating vessel. The measuring cylinder is also made of glass anyway. As long as you don’t do the kind of reaction that will corrode the glass, you can save a beaker. It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, but it can really piss off the teacher.

Elder Zhai even shouted angrily on the spot: "False! This is not in line with the rules at all!"

Zhang Zhicheng said speechlessly: "It's not like you just said it yourself, you Arctic Cold Palace needs people who can solve practical problems, not people who can only talk nonsense. Now I want to solve practical problems, why are you playing tricks on me instead?" Are you talking? Don’t you just want me to fix this thing? Just take a good look at it!”

"you--"

This method of "replying others with their own way" made Elder Zhai choked and speechless.

After taking a deep breath, Elder Zhai finally reorganized his words and angrily said: "Which weapon refiner can operate like you? Don't blow yourself up and force yourself to the head of our Arctic Cold Palace." superior!"

Zhang Zhicheng controlled his true fire with his left hand, then waved his right hand casually and said: "Don't worry, even if I accidentally blow myself up, I will definitely not blame you Arctic Han Palace!"

"How dare you control your true fire with one hand? How could you-"

"Huh? Doesn't this reveal a problem?"

Before Zhai Kun finished speaking, Zhang Zhicheng's eyes suddenly lit up. The natal spiritual fire controlled by his left hand also shone brightly at the same time. Then everyone saw that part of the dim spiritual energy patterns on the surface of the compass magic weapon had been re-lit. Even a layman like Tian Beixi can tell that this treasure has been partially repaired.

And since lighting up the true fire of life, a total of two minutes have not passed!

Seeing that the repair work on the surface of the magic weapon had been basically completed, Zhang Zhicheng raised his head again and asked: "I'm sorry! Elder Zhai, what question did you want to ask me just now?"

Elder Zhai originally planned to raise an army to prosecute, but when he saw that Zhang Zhicheng directly activated the true fire for repairs without inspecting it, and even used one hand to control the true fire to answer his own questions, and then actually used the apparent function of this compass magic weapon. It was repaired, which made him less confident to speak: "I...I want to say, I have never heard of someone repairing magic weapons like you! This...this is simply nonsense!"

Zhang Zhicheng spread his hands and said: "Huh? Then you can see it now?"

Elder Zhai said with a look of disbelief: "How on earth did you do it just now?"

Zhang Zhicheng did not hide anything, and answered very calmly: "It's very simple, practice makes perfect! If an ordinary weapon refiner can personally refine hundreds of thousands of magic weapons, his proficiency will definitely not be worse than mine. In fact, the master Master also severely criticized me some time ago, saying that my talent in weapon refining is actually not high, and I rely on hard work to make up for my weakness..."

Your weapon refining talent is not high yet?

After hearing Zhang Zhicheng's Versailles speech, Elder Zhai wanted to strangle this pretender to death. If Zhang Zhicheng's miraculous weapon-making skills were not high enough, his unscrupulous disciples would have committed suicide on the spot!

As for what Zhang Zhicheng said about refining hundreds of thousands of magic weapons, Elder Zhai didn't listen at all.

The tens of thousands of disciples in the entire Arctic Cold Palace combined would not be able to come up with one hundred thousand magic weapons. You alone would have to refine hundreds of thousands of magic weapons in decades, and you could almost contract the supply of magic weapons for the entire Arctic state. .

A normal weapon refiner can refine thousands of magic weapons in a lifetime, which is pretty good!

However, Elder Zhai did not know that almost all of the discarded magic weapons of Qianjimen were handed over to Zhang Zhicheng, the garbage dump manager, for management. There were millions of them. Zhang Zhicheng had almost nothing to do for decades. Qian is just frantically repairing these magic weapons. Even if he accidentally breaks them, no one will care about him.

Over the years, the number of magic weapons that Zhang Zhicheng has repaired may actually start at 100,000.

Moreover, the magic weapons that can be thrown into the Qianjimen scrapped magic weapon recycling yard, waiting to be broken down into raw materials for classification and recycling, are more damaged than the last. They are all the kind of cultivation garbage that is considered by senior weapon refiners to have no recycling value. , the maintenance difficulty is much higher than that of ordinary magic weapons.

Zhang Zhicheng has been operating this kind of magic weapon for a long time, and then running back to repair the conventional magic weapon that still has salvage value is like a player who is used to playing in Hard mode and suddenly adjusts the difficulty of the game to Easy Mode.

Since Zhang Zhicheng can repair even scrapped garbage to the point of restoring some functions, let alone repair ordinary damaged magic weapons with one hand, even without gesture assistance, it is not a problem for him.

Speaking of which, the Arctic Cold Palace Weapon Refining Hall took out the reconnaissance magic weapon instead of the combat magic weapon for Zhang Zhicheng to repair, which was originally intended to create difficulties.

After all, every cultivator in Jiuzhou must have one battle magic weapon, while the reconnaissance magic weapon is much rarer and cannot be used by most cultivators. Ordinary weapon refiners may not encounter the opportunity to repair similar magic weapons in their lifetime. For those who lack experience, For young weapon refiners, experience in this area is even more lacking.

Before Zhang Zhicheng showed off his unique skill, Elder Zhai did not believe that a master with a Qi refining period could repair a completely unfamiliar reconnaissance magic weapon within the specified time. Just like what Zhang Zhicheng just said, if you follow the normal process, you must first check the magic weapon. The aura circuit, and then gradually repaired, may take more than two quarters of an hour just to check.

However, Zhang Zhicheng has seen a lot through many battles. What kind of reconnaissance magic weapon has he not seen?

When he was on the battlefield outside the territory, Zhang Zhicheng used hundreds of semi-finished reconnaissance magic weapons that he had played with as "real eyes" and inserted them everywhere in the battlefield outside the territory to provide warning. Regarding the aura circuits of such reconnaissance magic weapons, he It was all too familiar. The Arctic Cold Palace Weapon Refining Hall chose to use reconnaissance magic weapons to test him, which was simply a trick in front of Guan Gong.

Not only was Elder Zhai speechless for a long time, but the other two elders of Beihan Palace who were deliberately making things difficult were also dumbfounded.

But something even more surprising happened.

After repairing the spiritual energy circuit on the surface of this magic weapon, Zhang Zhicheng suddenly frowned and said: "Although the damage on the surface of this magic weapon has been repaired, the damage to the internal structure seems to be relatively serious!"

Then he divided his own natal spiritual fire into several thin strands and got into the inside of this magic weapon.

This appalling operation made the weapon refiners present take a breath.

Tian Beixi, who is an outsider in refining, may not be able to see anything, but the refiners present are all aware of the difficulty of this operation. You must know that Zhang Zhicheng is currently adjusting the internal structure of the magic weapon, but his sight is completely blocked by the magic weapon. The shell blocks it.

In other words, the basis for his maintenance operations is entirely the "touch" returned by his true fire!

Although the refiner always likes to say that the true fire of one's life is an extension of one's own spiritual consciousness, it is more of a rhetorical device, just like saying that the football at Messi's feet is like an extension of his body. It does not mean that the football is long. It's on him.

The cultivator's consciousness is similar to Messi's football, and he does not have eyes. Under normal circumstances, the refiner will first dismantle the shell of the magic weapon, and then reassemble it after repairing the internal structure of the magic weapon. However, Zhang Zhicheng's The operation was so outrageous that it was equivalent to a surgeon on Earth turning off the TV to perform minimally invasive surgery, relying solely on the touch of the scalpel to remove the lesion.

Even if there is a slight mistake, the patient will die suddenly on the spot!

Not only that, he even divided his own true fire into several strands.

This is clearly multi-tasking!

Seeing Zhang Zhicheng's miraculous operation, even Lin Musen couldn't help but look sideways and said: "You directly put the spiritual fire deep into the magic weapon, aren't you afraid of touching things you shouldn't touch?"

Zhang Zhicheng replied without looking back: "Don't worry, the situation is all under my control!"

At the same time as Zhang Zhicheng answered, pulse-like spiritual energy fluctuations came from inside the magic weapon. It was obvious that Zhang Zhicheng had begun to operate his "real fire scalpel" for repairs!

The three Arctic Cold Palace weapon refiners looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Zhang Zhicheng did not mean to show off this time.

When Zhang Zhicheng was at the magic weapon recycling site, he was faced with hundreds of thousands of scrapped magic weapons. How to select the ones with salvage value from a large number of scrapped magic weapons as quickly as possible became the most pressing issue for him. The problem is, if you dismantle the magic weapon piece by piece and then analyze its salvage value, then I am afraid that the day lily will be cold.

Therefore, Zhang Zhicheng must multi-task and operate quickly.

But even if Zhang Zhicheng's mind can multi-task, he does not have four unparalleled eyes and four or five hands, so the only solution is to perform blind exercises based on the tactile feedback of the divine sense from the natal spiritual fire.

At first, this method did damage many magic weapons, but the scrapped magic weapons had only raw material recycling value. Qianjimen didn't mind if they were destroyed more completely by Zhang Zhicheng. After Zhang Zhicheng had practiced it tens of thousands of times, he could use the magic weapon to It is no longer a problem for him to repair and inspect four or five magic weapons at the same time.

Now all his energy is spent on a magic weapon. This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow, and it will not even affect his distraction in answering Lin Musen's questions.

Under the eyes of several ancient and mental weapon refiners, Zhang Zhicheng, the only "wild weapon refiner" in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, became more and more skilled and confident in his operations. With the help of repairing countless magic belts With the muscle memory, the real fire he manipulated even progressed faster than his thinking consciousness. Often, the operation at hand was already completed before he could figure out how to guide the real fire in the next step.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zhicheng's expression moved slightly again, and then everyone saw that the light inside the compass magic weapon increased sharply again, and there were even several "click-click" crackling sounds.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhicheng directly withdrew his natal spiritual fire without reacting, and then input the mana into the compass normally.

As Zhang Zhicheng's mana was input into the compass, this reconnaissance magic weapon immediately released a vague wave of spiritual energy, which soon swept across the entire weapon refining hall like a radar.

Everyone present, who was at least in the foundation-building stage, noticed this obscure spiritual energy fluctuation and knew that the reconnaissance function of this reconnaissance magic weapon had been restored.

Zhang Zhicheng was slightly relieved when he saw this, held up the reconnaissance magic weapon in his hand and asked: "It's not even a quarter of an hour, Elder Zhai, I have passed the test perfectly this time, right?"

At this time, all the elders of the Arctic Cold Palace Artifact Refining Hall had been impressed by Zhang Zhicheng's operation.

Elder Zhai didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, the golden elixir stage weapon refiner next to him secretly poked him, and then he replied as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Passed...passed!"

The Arctic Cold Palace Golden Core Refiner next to him also stroked his beard and said: "More than just passed? Qianji Sect is indeed a well-known weapon refining sect in Kyushu, and this time it has given us Arctic Cold Palace Dew." What a skill! I didn’t expect that you are so young and have experience in the field of weapon refining, and you have already practiced to the point of proficiency!"

As a seventh-level Qi refining monk, Zhang Zhicheng, who is nearly fifty years old this year, is actually not young anymore.

But thanks to the recent success in the sect, Zhang Zhicheng actually looks more than ten years younger than before. If he were the Zhang Zhicheng in the battlefield outside the territory, his appearance would even be better than those hundreds of years old Jindan monks in front of him. Appear old.

Fortunately, the world of cultivation has never paid much attention to age. From time to time, there will be high-level cultivators who look very "young" to express their condolences to "old" low-level cultivators who are hundreds of years younger than themselves. Everyone has become accustomed to this.

Suddenly hearing someone on his side praising Zhang Zhicheng, Elder Zhai immediately shouted softly: "Elder Chu!"

Although Elder Zhai did not say it clearly, he was obviously warning Elder Chu not to be ambitious. After all, everyone originally wanted to give the other party a show of strength, but unexpectedly they were shown off by the other party. The current clown is clearly the Arctic Cold Palace Artifact Refining Hall himself. !

Although the three weapon refiners from Arctic Cold Palace are all great monks at the Golden Core stage, their statuses are also obviously different. Although Elder Chu looked a little unconvinced, he had no choice but to laugh twice and stopped talking. .

Zhang Zhicheng also found an opportunity to ask again: "Elder Zhai, do I pass your test?"

"Of course you have passed my test this time!"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Elder Zhai's face, but in the end he recognized Zhang Zhicheng's performance.

Even if Elder Zhai wanted to deny it, there were too many people watching. Even if he killed Lin Musen and Zhang Zhicheng, he could not silence Tian Beixi.

Not only that, Wen Boshan and Elder Chu are not in the same group as him. If they cheat in public, they will definitely lose their prestige.

Seeing Zhang Zhicheng displaying his unpredictable methods, Wenboshan also showed an excited look on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Then please ask Elder Zhai to come up with the real problem of our Arctic Cold Palace!"
