Infinite true path

Finally, Zhao Ao calmed down and nodded: "Ling Yunhua, you are right." Now, Zhao Ao had to admit secretly that Huan Yin's victory over Xu Yin was not a fluke.

He now feels that he may have really underestimated the young man in the valley, but he is still fully confident in today's literary battle, because the materials he will come up with next will be rarer and more difficult than the last. , he did not believe that Huan Yin could have more astonishing knowledge at this age.

Therefore, Zhao Wen's expression immediately became serious: "The material I am going to bring out next is even rarer than the Lingyun Flower just now. You'd better be more alert!"

After saying that, Zhao Yi flipped his hand a few times, and the Lingyun Flower was immediately put away by him. When Huan Yin saw what was in his hand again, the thing he was holding had turned into a three-finger-thick, A brownish-yellow thing about a foot long.

The thing Zhao Wei was holding in his hand looked extremely ordinary, like a root of most plants. However, unlike the roots, it does not have any roots on it, but is just a smooth section. However, there seems to be a lot of dirt on this thing, and it looks a bit uneven.

Many monks in the valley have some guesses in their minds, because this ordinary thing looks similar to many materials they are familiar with, but they are not sure. After all, Zhao Wei said just now that the thing he took out now was even rarer than the Lingyun Flower. They didn't think that the speculation in their minds at this moment was rarer than the Lingyun Flower.

"Wood like earth comes from the west of Liangzhou. It is indeed rarer than Lingyun flower, because there is no exact explanation of how it was formed. This thing is originally a plant, growing on the ground, and the whole thing is just such a small section , it is inconspicuous and difficult to find. However, the reason why it is named "Wood Like Earth" is precisely because although it is a plant, it is not of wood, but of earth. It feels like a piece of soil and has many properties of soil." Huan Yin spoke without any pause.

Standing on the hillside, Zhao O couldn't help but clap for Huan Yin: "Okay, Huan Yin, you are indeed knowledgeable and memorized. You must have pieced together the information about this object from some classics." ?”

Huan Yin nodded and said, "In my memory, only two classics have recorded this object."

With Huan Yin's knowledge, he has only seen records in two classics, which shows that this "wood is like earth" is really rare.

Zhao Wen's expression at this moment was not nervous at all because Huan Yin said that he had seen this object. He laughed and said, "Well, that's right. I have done special research on this object and have only seen two classics about it. Records. If I remember correctly, these two classics should be "Liangzhou Miscellanies" and "Qiwenlu", right?"

As soon as Zhao Wei's words came out, the cultivators in the valley were stunned for a moment. Because the "Liangzhou Miscellaneous Notes" mentioned by Zhao Wen was a book for ordinary people to read, and it also recorded some things about the people of Liangzhou, they never thought that they would need to read this kind of book to learn knowledge. As for "Strange Stories", they had never even heard of this book, let alone read it.

Huan Yin nodded: "Exactly these two books."

Zhao We laughed and said, "Huan Yin, you are so eclectic in your knowledge and knowledge. No wonder you are so knowledgeable. I really admire you for being able to do this at such a young age!"

At this point, Zhao Wei changed the topic and said: "However, there is no comment on the efficacy of this wood as earth in "Liangzhou Miscellaneous Notes" and "Qiwenlu", right?"

Huan Yin nodded again: "Yes, there is no comment on it at all in these two books. They are both marked with the word 'unknown'."

Hearing Huan Yin's words, the casual cultivators around him secretly said something bad, because if there were no annotations on wood like earth in those two books, then Huan Yin would naturally not know the effects of wood like earth. If this is the case, Huan Yin will lose.

Sure enough, Zhao We burst into laughter and said: "Okay, at such a young age, you are able to know all the flowers in the spirit cloud, and you can also distinguish wood from earth. You are really a genius. I have to say 'admiration' to you. But this time I think I won the literary fight."

"Huan Yin, you have to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. At your age, you are still too far away from going against the older generation of weapon masters like me. Young people, you must know how to be modest, hahaha!" Zhao! Ao looked at Huan Yin with a proud look on his face and started to lecture him.

"I haven't seen it in the book, so I don't know about it?" Huan Yin's expression remained calm, looking at Zhao Wei on the hillside.

Zhao Yi's laughter stopped at Huan Yin's words, and he turned to stare at Huan Yin, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. An incredible idea emerged in his mind, that is "Wucai".

Duan Yun had told Huan Yin about this realm of Wu Cai. If a weapon master's knowledge of materials can reach this level, it can be described as "reaching the pinnacle".

How could Zhao Wei believe that the teenage boy in front of him had touched the threshold of Wucai, so he loudly said: "Okay, then tell me, what is the effect of this earth like wood?"

Huan Yin replied: "The nature of this thing is earth, and sword making, even if it is a soft sword, also requires internal hardness. Therefore, sword making cannot be separated from the word 'hard'. Wood like earth cannot be used to make swords." sword!"

As soon as Huan Yin spoke, people in the valley immediately started discussing. Since wood like earth is a rare material, and it was used by a sword-making master like Zhao Wei, it cannot be a material for making swords. If Zhao On himself produced materials that were not cast materials at all, wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Many casual cultivators cast doubtful glances at Huan Yin. They felt that this young boy was really impulsive and did not even understand the most basic principles when he spoke.

However, unlike everyone in the valley, Zhao On on the hillside looked horrified at the moment. He subconsciously asked: "Then what is the use of it?"

Huan Yin put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Among the five elements, earth can produce gold, and the sword we want to cast is the five elements that belong to gold. Therefore, in my opinion, although wood such as soil cannot be used as a material to directly cast a sword, it can be When using fire to forge a sword, add it to the fire as an auxiliary material. In this way, 'wood is like soil' should be able to increase the success rate of sword making!"

"You..." Zhao Wen was stunned at this moment and pointed at Huan Yin, but he couldn't even say a word. He simply couldn't believe that he had actually witnessed an "enlightenment" just now. Although such enlightenment was not complete, it was incredible to him that Huan Yin could achieve this at his age.

You must know that "enlightenment of materials" is an extremely advanced state in weapon refining. It is impossible to achieve it without sufficient profound knowledge, sufficient perception of the materials, and a deep understanding of the various principles in the materials.

Take the Tao of the Five Elements as an example. Although this is a truth that even ordinary people know, the Tao of the Five Elements is extremely profound. If you study it deeply, the changes within it are endless and all-encompassing. The idea of ​​using the Five Elements to analyze sword making was something Zhao O had never heard of!

In fact, Huan Yin's views on the Five Elements were not derived from his own insights. After all, his experience is still too shallow. No matter how many books he reads, it is impossible for him to have such a profound understanding.

However, the sword-making chapter of "Infinite Sword" contains some insights into the use of the Five Elements in sword-making. When Huan Yin saw these insights, he was also amazed. This kind of insight simply opened a new door to sword-making for him, allowing him to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of the art of sword-making.

"Okay, okay! I admire you, I admire you!" Zhao O didn't call himself "old man" for the first time. He continued: "Fellow practitioner Huan's ability is far beyond what Zhao thought. Zhao feels inferior to you! With you, potential, if you keep going like this, you will definitely be able to reach the state of 'Wucai', and your future achievements will be far better than mine!"

The monks in the valley were all shocked, because just now Zhao On actually called a child like Huan Yin a "fellow practitioner". These two words meant that Zhao On had regarded Huan Yin as a practitioner of weapons science at a comparable level. As a veteran weapon master of Yijian Peak, it is simply unbelievable for Zhao Wei to call Huan Yin like this.

What's more, Zhao Wei actually admitted in public that he was not as good as Huan Yin, and even said that Huan Yin would be "far better than him" in the future. These words can no longer be regarded as just praise, but the exclamation of a senior weapon master for his juniors!

Huan Yin clasped his fists and bowed to Zhao On on the hillside for the first time. He could tell that Zhao Wei was truly talented and learned, and he was certainly far beyond his own comparison in many aspects, especially experience. At the same time, Zhao Wei is not as narrow-minded as Xu Yin. Zhao Wen's fight with him today was just to avenge his junior brother. However, when he saw that he had real talent and learning, he immediately changed his attitude.

In Huan Yin's view, Zhao On should be a person who is dedicated to learning. He has his own pride because he is indeed extraordinary. However, he knows how to respect, respect people who are stronger than him, and he also respects the profound knowledge of weapon science.

"Senior Zhao, there is one last thing, please take it out." Huan Yin said to Zhao On on the hillside.

Zhao Ao took a deep look at Huan Yin and said: "In my opinion, you have already won. Even I studied this wood like earth for a long time before finally figuring out its nature, but you can actually do it on the spot To put it bluntly, it is simply unbelievable. In fact, all the materials I took out are extremely tricky, and none of them can be used to directly make swords. I am embarrassing you as a weapon master by asking this question. To embarrass a junior who comes to study is because I have fallen behind.”

Zhao Wei sighed deeply: "Okay, that's it for today."
