Manager Liu heard that the art Yin Xiuxuan chose was not blacksmithing, which he was praised for, but mining, which most young people did not choose. Although he was confused, he ignored him and noted it down and reported it to his superiors.
One day later, four deacons, three men and one woman, came to the small courtyard. These four deacons were all familiar to Yin Xiuxuan, and they were the four who led them in the basic study of the four arts.
After one month of preliminary study of the four arts, everyone understood what they were good at. The four of them came here to lead the newcomers in the specialized study of the four arts. After a while, the teenagers in the yard stood up according to their choice of specialization.
The corresponding deacon's side.
Among them, four are alchemists, four are blacksmiths, two are mining, and three are medicinal collectors. Originally, if they were allocated according to their preferences, the alchemist with the most beautiful women should be the most popular among the teenagers. However, alchemy is a delicate job, and it requires careful thinking.
Therefore, most young people who thought they had no talent did not sign up for this, and the same was true for forging. Therefore, in the final allocation, there were slightly more people for the two items of refining, and fewer people for the two items of collection.
However, this situation is not the final result. After choosing a specialization for the first time, Lian Tang disciples will have an adaptation period. If they are suitable, they can continue. If they are not suitable, they can switch to other specializations, but there is only one chance to switch. Two specializations
If they all fail to meet the standards, they will be kicked out of the inner sect and become outer disciples. It is this aspect that makes young people pay attention to their own reality when making choices.
Afterwards, the four deacons took the young men away separately and waited until evening before returning to the courtyard.
After the meal, Wei Jiang came to Yin Xiuxuan's room, and the two exchanged the information they had obtained. It turned out that Yin Xiuxuan and another young man named Li Cheng were first taken to the tool room by a deacon named Wu Lingyun to select the tools to be used, and then
Then he went to the weapon room to get the weapons he had, and finally explained some precautions in the actual mining process and the classification of mining expertise. As for Wei Jiang, his experience was similar to that of Yin Xiuxuan, but he changed the selection of tools and weapons.
It has become the choice of alchemy furnace and various alchemy tools.
As for the grading of specialization, the four skills are similar. For example, mining specialization, from the lowest level to the highest level, are: mining apprentice, mining craftsman, mining master, mining master, and mining master. Among them, mining apprentice is a disciple during the learning period; mining
The craftsman is a master who can complete mining tasks independently; the miner is a miner who has more than five years of mining experience and has mined more than ten kilograms of ore treasures such as black iron ore; the mining master has ten
Miners who have more than 20 years of mining experience and have collected more than 20 kilograms of precious ores are upgraded; as for the top mining masters, those who have more than 20 years of mining experience and have collected more than 50 kilograms of rare ores are upgraded.
However, these rules are not rigid. If enough treasures can be collected across levels, for example, if a miner collects more than 20 kilograms of treasures within five years, he can be directly upgraded and become a miner regardless of the number of years. But in fact, it is almost impossible.
There is no such upgrade, because years are easy to get rid of, and treasures are hard to find. Even Yin Xiuxuan's father has been in the mountains for many years, and he only got a piece of black iron ore the size of a finger by chance, which cost only three or four dollars. Even though the miners in Liantang were more professional, they could get a piece of black iron ore by chance.
It is difficult to find a few taels of such treasures every year, so the higher the level, the smaller the number.
Similar to the miner, alchemy specialization is also assigned levels based on years of experience, the quality of the alchemy, and the success rate of the alchemy.
Nowadays, in the Blackwater Sect Refining Hall, the deacons need to be at the master level or above, the great deacon must be at least the best among the masters, and the hall leader and deputy hall master must be the master level or above. As for the grandmaster level, there are not many in the entire refining hall.
People are old, and they are all old and unable to deal with things.
Yin Xiuxuan and others have just chosen to specialize, so they can only be regarded as apprentices, and they are apprentices among apprentices. They basically have no years of accumulation and practical experience.
At night, Yin Xiuxuan put all the tools and items he selected into his backpack, ran the Xiantian Kung Fu several times and fell asleep. On the second day, under the leadership of Deacon Wu, he left the Black Water Gate and headed north.
Rushing to a mountain forest.
Outside the mountains and forests, Deacon Wu pointed out several mineral veins that were being mined and told the two that Heishuimen was collecting ordinary copper and iron ores, and what they were looking for in the mountains were mainly fine products that were above ordinary products, such as concentrated iron ore, refined iron ore, etc.
Copper ore, etc. Compared with ordinary ores, these ores contain less impurities and are pure in texture. They are just right for use on the edge of a sword. They are the best reflection of the saying "good steel is used on the edge of a sword".
After entering the mountain, Deacon Wu began to distribute things between the three of them. After asking about their choices in martial arts and their current situation, Deacon Wu learned that Yin Xiuxuan was wandering at the first level of Xiantian Kung, and his
The mountain-climbing skill was slightly improved with the internal strength. As for Li Cheng, he chose the powerful Mang Niu Jin and the equally powerful Fuhu Fist. His progress was similar to that of Yin Xiuxuan. After all, he was second- and third-rate at the same time.
If there is not much difference in martial arts and qualifications, no one will be too powerful.
If the two of them were to have a fight, there would definitely be a situation where Yin Xiuxuan would run around the place and not dare to approach, and Li Chengkong would be unable to use his strength.
Deacon Wu made the final arrangement. He would observe the location of the ore veins, and Yin Xiuxuan would go to mine. Li Cheng would guard the side to guard against abnormal situations such as wild beasts.
After the division of labor was completed, the three began mining work.
Deacon Wu really has some skills. After traveling in the mountains and forests, he can find fine ores in certain places from time to time. If the terrain is not very dangerous, ask Yin Xiuxuan to get it. If the terrain is dangerous, or he can get it himself.
Either mount the horse himself or give up and not take it. And his observations are sixty-seven out of ten, which is a very good result even among miners. After collecting the data, he will also inform the two of them one by one of the key points of the observation, which can be regarded as due diligence.
Duty fulfilled.
During the mining process, every time Deacon Wu asked Li Cheng to pay attention to his surroundings, some threatening things such as bobcats and jackals would appear. At this time, Deacon Wu did not take action and just let Li Cheng deal with it; but when he encountered the real
When there was a fierce beast, Deacon Wu didn't say anything in advance. When it got close, he struck fiercely. Although he didn't kill it with a single move, he still beat it to death or drove it away without much effort.
As for the distribution of the ore, the ore taken by Yin Xiuxuan was divided equally among the three, while the ore obtained by Deacon Wu himself was kept for himself. Yin Xiuxuan and Li Cheng had no objection to this division.
There was no sun or moon in the mountains. The three of them stayed in the mountains and forests for who knows how long. They only had a few days of dry food left to wait. The three people had a lot of harvest in their bags. Deacon Wu gave the order before they started.
Back and forth. After returning to the Black Water Gate, Yin Xiuxuan calculated in private that he had been in the mountain for about twenty days.
Patting the package on his body, Yin Xiuxuan handed the fine ore he collected to the warehouse manager. Calculated, it had reached the standard for that month. Yin Xiuxuan returned to his room with joy, but Wei Jiang was waiting in his room.
Hold yourself.
When Wei Jiang saw Yin Xiuxuan, he called him a savage and angrily told Yin Xiuxuan that he wanted to break off their friendship.
After the banter, the two again discussed their respective experiences in detail. Yin Xiuxuan said that he had mined a large piece of fine iron ore on a certain day, while Wei Jiang said that he had refined a batch of fine elixirs that day and was praised by the deacon.
.
During the detailed discussion, Wei Jiang also told Yin Xiu
He came to take a peek several times, but he was always discovered by the disciples of the training hall. He was pulled out of the last incident and blushed with shame, and drove him away.
But it was said that the disciples in the inner hall were reluctantly driven away, but there were also new disciples in the foreign affairs hall who came to take a peek due to their rich fortune and wealth. However, a group of disciples from the training hall led by Wei Jiang were not easy to mess with. After a small conflict, they
After all, the foreign affairs hall did not have the same advantages as the inner hall in martial arts. Yin Xiuxuan did not express anything when he heard this.
Wei Jiang kept talking about which female alchemy disciple was pretty and which one seemed to be interested in him. Yin Xiuxuan had no choice but to listen to it.
After half the night, the two of them went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
