Chapter 16

Leaving Shuwu hall, Zhou Yang went straight to the top of Yuquan peak.

The monk stationed on the top of the mountain is still seven grandfather Zhou Yun. The old man always sits under the tall [dragon scale tree] on the top of the mountain. As soon as he sees Zhou Yang coming up, he forces him to sit down and taste his newly made medicinal tea.

It's not easy for Zhou Yang to refuse such a warm invitation from his elders. Moreover, he really likes the medicinal tea made by the old man.

However, when drinking tea with the old man this time, his eyes were mostly on the dragon scale tree beside him.

[dragon scale tree] is a very rare special spirit tree. It is named because it has tree scales like dragon scales.

The scales of the hundred year [dragon scale tree] tree are black and hard as fine iron. It can refine first-order defense spells and is a first-order spirit wood.

The scales of the [dragon scale tree] that has been more than 500 years will turn silver gray. Its hardness exceeds that of black iron. It can refine second-order defense magic tools. It is a second-order spirit wood.

If the [dragon scale tree] can grow for more than a thousand years, the tree scale will turn silver. At that time, the tree scale can be used to refine the third-order defense magic weapon, which is the third-order spirit wood.

It is said that once the tree age of [dragon scale tree] exceeds 5000 years, the tree scale will become the gold like the real dragon scale, which can be used to refine the fifth level defense magic weapon. It is a treasure that the ancestors in the golden elixir period have to fight for when they break their heads.

The dragon scale tree of the Zhou family is about 800 years old, and it is not far from becoming a third-order lingmu. When Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family, discovered Yuquan peak, the lingmu grew on the mountain.

After that, about every ten years or so, the Zhou family will take several tree scales from the [dragon scale tree] to refine them into magic tools. The main material of Zhou Yang's [silver Gang shield] magic tool is a tree scale taken from the tree.

In the past, although Zhou Yang knew the origin of the tree, he had seen many hundreds and thousands of giant trees in the mountain. He didn't feel much about the spirit wood that looked like a pine tree.

In his eyes at that time, the value of this second-order spirit tree was far less than that of several second-order spirit fruit trees "Huojing jujube" in the spirit orchard on the mountain.

At least the "Huojing jujube tree" can bear fruit every five years. In this way, the monks below the later stage of practicing the masculine skill can get the benefit of eating a jujube, which is equivalent to ten days of hard practice, not to mention the taste of jujube, which is far better than any fruit he had eaten in his previous life.

However, after becoming a tool refiner, the value of [dragon scale tree] in Zhou Yang's eyes immediately rose.

"Hehe, Xiaojiu, do you also want to play this [dragon scale tree]? It's not that I despise you. Although you are a second-class weapon refiner now, you can't use the tree scales of the [dragon scale tree]. Each of these tree scales falls into the hands of the old clan leader and is a second-class top-grade magic weapon. Even if he values you, he won't let you waste these treasures in vain. It's almost the same when you become a second-class top-grade weapon refiner! "

Seeing Zhou Yang's eyes, he always looked at the dragon scale tree. Old man Zhou Yun didn't know what he was thinking. Even with a smile, he hit him with impolite words.

For the elderly, it is also a matter of great sense of achievement to see Zhou Yang, an outstanding younger generation, eat and shrivel.

Just a few seconds after the smile on the old man's face bloomed, he was shocked by Zhou Yang's next words.

"Grandpa Qi said that the strength of my nephew and grandson's second-class weapon refiner is really not enough to use the tree scales of [dragon scale tree] to refine the weapon. It seems like such a treasure, or it's not too late to start refining when my nephew and grandson improve the weapon refining technique to the second-class top grade in the future."

"What? Your weapon refining skill has broken through to the second-order middle grade! "

Old man Zhou Yun looked at Zhou Yang with a shocked face and his voice was out of tune.

Didn't you say that this boy became a second-class inferior weapon smelter last year?

Why did you become a second-class middle grade weapon refiner in the past year?

Is it the old patriarch who quietly went down the mountain to make up for his lessons?

The old man looked at the young generation in front of him with a shocked face and felt that his brain was not enough.

Could it be that this young generation has a more gifted talent for refining utensils in addition to being a spiritual genius?

Otherwise, how can a layman who doesn't know anything become a second-class medium grade tool refiner in less than five years?

If he remembers correctly, even the old clan leader, the most talented third-class weapon refiner in the history of the clan, spent 12 years from learning to becoming a second-class weapon refiner!

"Grandpa seven? Seven grandfathers? "

Zhou Yang looked at the old man Zhou Yun who was stunned by the news revealed in his words. He said in his heart that he was not satisfied. It was a lie.

After all, the 22-year-old second-class intermediate ware smelter is indeed a very boastful thing. Not to mention the foundation building family of the Zhou family, which has only a history of more than 200 years, even in the Huangsha gate, which has been inherited by the sect for more than 2000 years, this speed is enough to rank in the top of history.

Even he himself never thought that his talent for refining tools would be so good.

Originally, when he was a first-class smelter, he didn't show any difference. However, after he was promoted to a second-class smelter, he needed to use several materials to mix and refine magic tools. Only then did he find that he had excellent control ability in the most critical metal solution mixing and control, and in the control of fire temperature.

Later, comparing the deeds of other weapon refiners recorded in those ancient books and the weapon refining experience notes given by the old patriarch, he found that his talent in this field was several times better than most weapon refiners of the same level.

If his accomplishments were not poor and he didn't have the materials to refine second-order top-grade magic tools, he felt he could try to refine second-order top-grade magic tools now.

"Is Xiao Jiu here? Come to the cave quickly. I have something to tell you. "

The greeting from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was a timely solution for the embarrassed old man Zhou Yun. He saw that the old man's face was relaxed because he was too shocked, and said easily: "Xiao Jiu, did you hear that? The old patriarch is calling you. Hurry up and don't let him wait for you. "

See through without telling, it's still a good grandson.

Of course, Zhou Yang didn't really make the old man lose his face for a moment. Seeing this, he forced himself to smile and said goodbye to the old man. He strode briskly to the cave of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

"Hey, old, old, can't keep up with the pace of young people!"

Under the dragon scale tree, the old man looked at Zhou Yang's back and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

However, the sigh lasted only a few seconds, and the old man's face changed. He suddenly turned red and burst out laughing: "hahaha, the young people are really powerful now. The 22-year-old second-class middle grade tool refiner, tut tut Tut, did not expect that my old man could see such a genius in my Zhou family in his lifetime, God bless my Zhou family, God bless the Zhou family! "

For an old man like Zhou Yun who has been fighting for the family all his life, there is probably nothing that makes him happier than seeing outstanding future generations in the family.

Those big families with golden elixir ancestors and even great friars in Yuanying period, who have inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, may have internal and secret fights because of disputes between legitimate and common people and problems in resource allocation.

However, for the Zhou family, which has only inherited five or six generations, has a family history of less than 300 years, and only has a small family with friars supporting the appearance during the foundation period, the only right way is to unite and unite again, unite all people's forces in one place, and concentrate all resources to cultivate a few talented children with foundation building resources in the family.

Think about it. When buying a "foundation building pill" will deplete the savings of the whole family, if the family fights with different factions, the final result must be that no one can build the foundation, and eventually the inheritance of the whole family will be cut off.

Those who cultivate immortals have a life span far beyond mortals, and their wisdom is far beyond mortals. Of course, they will not make such stupid mistakes.

In this environment, even if an individual is greedy for profit and wants to harm the public and private interests, once it is found, it will certainly be attacked by other groups to correct the family rules.

Therefore, seeing that Zhou Yang is so outstanding, even if he is not his own direct descendant, the elders of the Zhou family such as Zhou Yun are greatly relieved and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

When the family is strong, their descendants can live better, get more practice resources in the future, and build a foundation. The reason is so simple.

On the other hand, after Zhou Yang entered the cave on the top of the mountain and saw the old patriarch Zhou Minghan again, before he could salute, he was taken directly to his tool refining room by the old patriarch.

"I heard what you said outside just now. Now you refine a second-order medium quality magic weapon to show me. Tell me what you want, and I'll open the supply for you!"

The old clan leader Zhou Minghan is worthy of being the head of the clan. He has the confidence to speak. During the ordinary Qi training period, friars break their heads and compete for second-order spiritual objects. In his eyes, they are like cabbage, which can be open to supply.

What else does Zhou Yang have to say?

Of course, just roll up your sleeves and dry directly.

In this way, after wasting three materials in a row, he successfully refined a second-order middle-class magic weapon flying sword at the fourth refining.

"Yes, yes, you have made great progress in refining tools. Even if you put this flying sword in those shops, it is up to the standard. It seems that your talent for refining tools is much higher than I expected."

After the old clan leader checked the magic weapon flying sword newly refined by Zhou Yang, he was always silent and smiling in front of the younger generation of other families. This time, he couldn't help but show a happy smile.

When the old man was happy, he naturally gave him a reward. He stretched out his hand and smiled at Zhou Yang and said, "now you come to see me refining tools and take out the [golden rat] rat skin and rat teeth you obtained at the beginning to me. I will refine two second-order top-grade magic tools for you this time for free. It can be regarded as my reward for you to become a second-order tool refiner."
