Broken Night

Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Three ─ The Twelfth Moon Cast

When Xu Yan heard the words, his face was also positive, and his body was slightly drunk.

He knew that this was the point.

"Well... maybe Master Mo also knows that I learned the technique of alchemy from the strange doctor Pingzhi from Pingnanzhong."

Mo Qingchou murmured in a low voice: "The strange doctor is famous all over the world, and the grievances and grievances with Brother Xu are still talked about today, of course they know it." Xu Yan laughed: "There are quite a few grievances with that old guy. of."

"Let's get down to business, I was in the process of alchemy, but I felt that there were many similarities with forging."

"In alchemy, how is the refining of thousands of grains and medicinal materials similar to the fusion of forging?"

"In alchemy, condensing different medicinal materials into elixir, how is it similar to the casting of a forging technique?"

"Once this thought arises, it will never be erased."

Mo Qingchou just looked at Xu Yan quietly and didn't speak.

And Xu Yan said directly: "The so-called all methods are valid, when I have the idea of ​​using the tattoo as a medicine pill, it will be difficult to erase."

"It also proved in the end that it was a success."

Mo Qingchou looked thoughtful: "But this is just a general statement. In alchemy, the reason why countless tattoos can be made is because they are all tattoos, and there is more interconnection among them, so that they can become pills. But Brother Xu’s method of [refining soldiers] involves refining metals and ores, how can the difficulty be compared to that of alchemy?”

Xu Yan looked at Mo Qingchou with a satisfied smile on his face. On the other hand, Mo Qingchou was not used to this kind of vision—as if an elder showed a smile of approval after the younger generation gave the correct answer.

"Actually, it's not as complicated as Master Mo imagined. What is the greatest benefit brought by the art of military training?"

Without waiting for Mo Qingchou to answer, Xu Yan said the key point: "Temperature."

"Under the suppression and blockade of the alchemy furnace, the temperature is many times or even ten times higher than the temperature outside the furnace. Under such a temperature, as long as the metal is melted and controlled, it is actually different from the method of melting the plant and condensing the alchemy during alchemy. No difference."

Xu Yan looked at Mo Qingchou with a smile: "Master Mo deliberately waited for the twelfth lunar month, why didn't he wait for the temperature to drop?"

Mo Qingchou also laughed: "I know that I can't beat Brother Xu."

After he finished speaking, Mo Qingchou said with emotion on his face, "Brother Xu is really amazing, who in the world with square eyes can practise the art of forging while refining alchemy? And how many people can come up with the similarities?"

Xu Yan waved his hand: "Don't put a high hat on me. Forging one is a long way to go. I'm still a long way off."

"No matter what, Xu Yan's words alone are worth my toast to you."

"Done."

"Okay! Hahahaha!"

That night.

At this moment, even Xu Yan and Mo Qingchou didn't know what this represented.

It's just that the two people's night talk will indeed cause a lot of ups and downs in the future.

…………

The next day, Xu Yan saw a familiar face when he woke up.

A figure stood outside the door and said with a smile, "Dear little brother, do you miss your brother?"

Xu Yan glared: "Go away!"

Another figure looked at Xu Yan worriedly: "Brother Xu, have you been eating for the past few days? Look... I've lost weight..."

Xu Yan looked at her speechlessly, she had been eating so fast for the past few days that her stomach was full...

The two are naturally Jin Qianji and Lan Mingxin who came from Huihong all the way.

Xu Yan looked at Lan Mingxin with a strange look: "Huh? Mingxin, how did you break through?" Jin Qianji was the first to laugh: "You don't know, Mingxin's prestige is important, even the head of the dignified Hong family. , The powerhouses of the five palaces all want to accept their hearts as disciples.”

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yan showed surprise.

With Hong Xiao's realm, even if he only gave Ming Xin a trick and a half, it would be enough to last a lifetime. Moreover, Lan Mingxin's identity is a boy in Yunfu, and he has no teacher. As long as Mr. Yunfu's permission—that is, Jin Qianji's permission, Lan Mingxin can join any division.

Jin Qianji also felt regretful: "But this stupid girl refused."

Lan Mingxin shouted a few times: "It's alright, alright! Brother Qianji has been nagging about this for several days! I'm going to borrow the inn's stove to make breakfast!"

After he finished speaking, he ran away like the wind, leaving Xu Yan and Jin Qianji to stare at each other silently.

…………

As for Lan Mingxin's mentality, the two were quite understanding.

After all, Xu Yan was exactly the same as her in his last life, and he only focused on forging one.

It is only after death that you realize that you have no ability to protect yourself, so how can you pursue the Dao? This is the hard-hearted practice. But for someone like Lan Mingxin, he wouldn't interfere too much. After all, everyone has their own path, and others cannot influence too much.

After the three met, they walked around Cangfeng City, eating delicious food and wine from each family, as if they had come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

And as time passed, it was the twelfth lunar month.

This is also a sacred activity of the world's water casting masters.

[Twelfth Moon Casting].

Every year during the twelfth lunar month, Mo Qingchou, the only master of water casting in the world, will conduct a public casting. This is a sensational event for all watercasters. Like the master forging masters known in the world today, such as Chu Hengshan, Feng Shang, or many forging masters in Fen Tianshan, and even Xu Yan himself would not forge in front of others at will.

After all, their forging is almost an art, a spiritual pursuit.

And Mo Qingchou only has one purpose in casting such open casting - to let the water casting masters in the world better understand the water casting. In other words, he is constantly promoting the technique of water casting.

There are three parts of forging in the world—fire forging, grass forging, and water forging.

Among them, the foundation of water casting is the shallowest, and the number of practitioners is also the least. For example, the most popular weapons in the south are the weapons made from grass, which complement each other with the planting faction itself;

And the northern human nature is like fire, and with tattooed beasts in the veins, fire-forged tattooed soldiers are their first choice.

Therefore, although there is no shortage of water casters, they cannot be regarded as the majority.

Therefore, the annual "Twelfth Moon Casting" is also promoting the technique of water casting, so that there are more blacksmiths practicing water casting in the world, which shows that Mo Qingchou has good intentions.

Xu Yan also respected this.

Like in his previous life, he also did the same thing. It's just that that was also the last time he forged in his last life.

…………

The twelfth lunar month cast is held at the top of Yishan Mountain.

Xu Yan and his party were walking on the mountain road, but they saw countless people bowing their heads and walking forward with pious expressions on their faces. He didn't hold a torch in his hand, but held a low-level night pearl and walked slowly. It's just that when there are hundreds or thousands of such figures, the whole picture has a solemn and sacred meaning.

The three of Xu Yan walked among them, and under the same atmosphere, they didn't dare to chat, but silently followed the crowd up the mountain.

After a long time, they finally came to the top of Mount Yi. Here, the temperature is significantly lower. Xu Yan looked up at the sky, and saw that the thick clouds above turned like a vortex, and it looked like an hourglass. And the bottom position of the hourglass is exactly where they are.
