"You asked about the spirit of the four seasons, do you want to forge a magic weapon?"
Zhang Haogu looked at Shang Xia with a smile on his face.
"Forging divine weapons?"
Shang Xia was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "The function of the spirit of the four seasons is actually to forge divine weapons?"
Zhang Haogu said: "This is no secret among the admonition craftsmen who are qualified and have the potential to forge magic weapons. Magic weapons have spirits, and the spirits of the four seasons are the essence of heaven and earth condensed and nurtured. They are spiritual and wise, and they are correct.
It is the best thing to use to enlighten spirits in the process of forging divine weapons."
Having said this, Zhang Haogu looked at Shang Xia and said: "So if you want to ask for the spirit of the four seasons, it is best to ask some high-level craftsmen. Any high-level craftsman who has the ambition to forge magical weapons will start to collect this kind of spirit."
The spiritual essence of heaven and earth.”
Shang Xia didn't expect that what he originally thought would be the most scratching problem in the process of collecting advanced spiritual objects would be easily solved by Zhang Haogu.
While Shang Xia was excited, he couldn't help but worry a little: "The disciples heard that the spirit of the four seasons is extremely precious and is necessary for forging divine weapons. Even if those high-level craftsmen have this thing in their hands, how can they give it to the disciples."
Zhang Haogu asked with a smile: "Do you really want to use it to forge magic weapons?"
Shang Xia said "uh" and said, "No, this disciple is preparing to raise advanced resources."
Zhang Haogu was even more surprised when he heard this: "It's rare to hear that the spirits of the four seasons are used to make advanced potions."
Shang Xia smiled "hehe" and did not answer.
Zhang Haogu continued: "Don't worry. Although the spirit of the four seasons is rare, before you it was only used to activate the spirit of the divine weapon. But there are only a few divine weapons in the entire Cangyu world? Therefore, those high-level craftsmen
Most of the spirits of the four seasons among the masters are accumulated in their hands and are of no use. Some even have more than one spirit of the four seasons in their backlog. You can just ask them for it by bartering. Just ask.
If there are too many, there will always be craftsmen who no longer have the luxury of forging magic weapons and will choose to trade."
Seeing Shang Xia's slightly dumbfounded expression, Zhang Haogu said amusedly: "Why, you don't believe what I say?"
Shang Xia quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I didn't expect it to be so simple."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I just heard that as soon as the Shang clan leader returned to his base, he went around to collect fourth-level spiritual materials and spiritual objects. Is he looking for the spirit of the four seasons?"
Shang Xia quickly replied: "My uncle only said that he heard that Chief Kou had the 'Spring Spirit' in his hand, and he was trying to find a way to get it from the Chief. However, the spiritual materials required for the disciple to advance to the potion are not limited to the spirit of the four seasons."
In fact, Shang Ke's raising of fourth-level spiritual materials was not only for Shang Xia, but part of it was also for Shang Jian.
However, at this time, Shang Xia did not need to explain too much, as it somewhat meant to hide one's strength and bide one's time.
After all, in the eyes of caring people, today's Shang family, even if it does not include Shang Bo, has two fourth-level warriors, Shang Ke and Shang Pei, who are already the most powerful family in Tongyou City.
Now Shang Xia is preparing to advance to the fourth level of heaven again. He is about to give birth to the third martial evil warrior in the merchant. Now he has attracted the attention of many people, whether overtly or secretly.
If people knew that there was another merchant in the business who had the ability to attack the martial evil realm at any time, I don't know how much trouble it would cause.
After all, if it were Shang Xia, Shang Jian would advance successfully, and four fourth-level heavenly warriors from the Shang family would be in charge.
A Zhu family from old Youzhou is still alive.
Zhang Haogu nodded and said: "The 'Flower Spirit' in the hands of the mountain chief was originally prepared to nourish the spirituality of the divine soldiers in case the 'Youxue Sword' was spiritually damaged. It's just that 'Youxue Sword'
'Even in the two realms of Cangyu and Cangling, there are only a few killing magic weapons. Usually they can only damage other magic weapons, and it is difficult for them to be harmed. Besides, I heard that your boy is quite
Since the mountain chief values and your grandfather's respect, it is not difficult to come and ask for this thing."
Shang Xia scratched his head and smiled "hehe". He suddenly remembered something and asked for advice again: "Sir, you just mentioned that the 'spirit of spring' in Chief Kou Shan's hand is also called the 'spirit of flowers'. Could it be that the spirit of the four seasons has something else?"
name?"
Zhang Haogu shook his head with a smile and explained: "'Spirit of the Four Seasons' is actually a general term for the spiritual but non-intelligent essences nurtured by heaven and earth, rather than specifically referring to four or a certain kind of things.
There are several kinds. The reason why they are called 'Four Seasons' is because when these heaven and earth spiritual beings are born, they are usually contaminated with some characteristics of the season they are in at that time."
Shang Xia thoughtfully said: "In other words, any essence of spiritual things nurtured by heaven and earth can be called the 'spirit of the four seasons'. Just look at the season in which this essence of heaven and earth was born, which season it is."
'Spirit'?"
Zhang Haogu nodded and said, "That's about it."
After getting Zhang Haogu's approval, Shang Xia's face was filled with joy. He reached out directly from his cuff and took out a magic bag. There was something swimming back and forth in the bag, causing convex shapes of various shapes to appear on the surface of the bag from time to time.
rise.
"Sir, this is a spiritual object of heaven and earth that the disciple undoubtedly obtained from a wind outlet in the two realms of war. At that time, some companions said that this object was the 'spirit of wind'. Sir, can you tell which season this object is contaminated with?"
characteristic?"
Shang Xia handed the Jueling Bag to Zhang Haogu with some anticipation.
"Huh?"
Zhang Haogu took the bag of extraordinary spirits in surprise. Although there was a seal to isolate it, he could make a certain judgment just by touching it: "How come you have already obtained a spiritual object from heaven and earth? Well, it is still extremely difficult to capture.
Wind Spirit."
Zhang Haogu glanced at Shang Xia with some suspicion and said: "This object is extremely difficult for a fourth-level warrior to capture. Is it really you who captured it, or is it the companion you mentioned?"
"neither!"
Shang Xia smiled and told Zhang Haogu about the discovery of thunderbirds and mutant swifts at the wind outlet of the mountain gate.
Zhang Haogu couldn't help but sigh: "The mountain gate wind outlet? The wind belt contains thin wind evil and thunder evil? Such a strange place unexpectedly appeared on the edge of the two realms of war! It seems that it should be after the source of heaven and earth poured back into it.
New changes have emerged.”
Having said that, Zhang Haogu looked at Shang Xia and said, "You're lucky. That Thunderbird and its tribe are living there, obviously to take advantage of the wind in the wind belt, to advance to the level of Lei Ersha, and from Thunderbird
Judging from the ability to capture the 'Wind Spirit', I'm afraid it's not far away from its advancement into a fourth-level exotic bird."
The relationship between Thunderbird and Shang Xia went from hostility at the beginning to mutual benefit, and then they established a kind of trust in each other. The two have become good friends.
Although Shang Xia had already expected that Thunderbird would advance to the fourth level, he was still sincerely happy for Zhang Haogu after hearing Zhang Haogu's judgment.
Zhang Haogu saw Shang Xia's heartfelt happiness. He didn't know what he thought of and sighed softly. Then he looked at the "Wind Spirit" wandering uncertainly in the magic bag and said: "Determine which season it is."
The spirit of heaven and earth
It’s actually not difficult, you just need to draw out a source of wind from it, blow it on some flowers and plants, and you’ll know.”
As he spoke, Zhang Haogu twirled his fingers, and the seal on the Jueling Bag was opened.
At the same time, another thin layer of bronze evil spirit emerged from his fingertips and lingered at the mouth of the Jue Ling Bag, which happened to suppress the "Wind Spirit" that was about to escape from the Jue Ling Bag.
At this moment, a "whooshing" sound of wind suddenly surged out from the mouth of the bag and blew on the grass on the ground.
In Shang Xia's astonished eyes, the extremely lush green grass growing on the ground suddenly began to turn yellow as if it was dehydrated. Although it did not wither or wither immediately, it did not lose its previous vitality.
"'Spirit of Autumn'?!"
There was no need for Zhang Haogu to say anything at this time, Shang Xia had already made his own judgment.
Zhang Haogu resealed the spirit bag with a smile and handed it back to him, saying: "It seems that you are lucky. Now you have the spirits of spring and autumn in your hands."
Shang Xia took back the magic bag, thought for a while and asked for advice again: "Sir, I told you about the Thunderbird advancement before. He absorbed the wind and thunder at the same time. Is this method feasible?"
Zhang Haogu glanced at him and said: "Actually, you want to ask whether a warrior can be like Thunderbird, who can refine two or even more natal spiritual evils at the same time when he advances to the fourth heaven, right?"
Shang Xia did not deny it, nor did he mind that others might guess his way of advancement.
Zhang Haogu continued: "Such an idea is not unheard of before, and it seems to make sense from a theoretical point of view. However, the risk of doing so is too great. Refining two or three types at one go
, or even four kinds of natal spirits, not to mention how difficult it is for a warrior to find all four kinds of heaven and earth spirits at once, even in those holy places with long inheritance, it is unimaginable. But even if they are together, what can they do? Different heaven and earth spirits
There is a phenomenon of mutual repulsion, even mutual annihilation, and dissolution among evil spirits. If they are absorbed into a warrior's body in one breath, even if the vitality does not become out of control, it will be enough to burst the warrior's physical body."
At this point, Zhang Haogu's tone already had a hint of persuasion: "It's a good thing for young people to dare to think and do, and to be courageous, but only by taking it step by step and doing it step by step can we know it openly. As the saying goes, be bold but careful.
That's it. After all, you are still young. Compared with your peers, you are already far ahead in martial arts, so you don't need to be so hasty."
Shang Xia smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, there is no reason for me not to listen to your kind words. It's just... I'm afraid it's too late!"
Although Shang Xia did not say it clearly, Zhang Haogu, who has now reached the fourth level and has become a high-level warrior in Tongyou Academy, can naturally easily understand what Shang Xia has to say after understanding many situations between the two worlds.
After he was silent for a moment, he smiled slightly and said: "Even so, we teachers are the ones who can support you. There is absolutely no reason for you junior disciples to rush up and support the vat."
After arriving at Fu Tang's station in Zuowangpo with Zhang Haogu, under his introduction, Shang Xia quickly got to know the two third-level talisman masters Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui from the academy, as well as the seven second-level talisman masters.
.
In addition, there are more than ten first-level talisman disciples here, as well as related apprentices, ink craftsmen, talisman craftsmen, and pen craftsmen, plus auxiliary workers further downstream, and the number has reached almost two to three hundred.
It can be said that 90% of the manpower of the entire Tongyou Academy Futang is already here.
