If Zijin Pavilion is the leader in the world of weapon refining in Kyushu, then Qianjimen is undoubtedly the second largest weapon refining sect in Beimo State. It can even surpass Zijin Pavilion in refining low-level magic weapons.
However, compared to the overlord sect Zijin Pavilion, the combat effectiveness of Qianjimen disciples is somewhat insufficient, so Qianjimen has never wanted its disciples to take risks on battlefields outside the territory.
However, the seven major sects have jointly signed the "Extraterritorial Battlefield Trial Convention" witnessed by Tiandao. All Qi Refining Stage monks in Kyushu must participate in at least one extraterritorial battlefield trial before they can advance to foundation building. Otherwise, a huge amount of merit will be directly deducted.
, even the sect will be implicated, so even if it is known that its weapon refiner has entered the battlefield outside the territory, he will serve as cannon fodder for other sects that specialize in fighting, Qianji Sect can only bite the bullet and throw his disciples into the fire pit.
push.
Every time there is a trial on the battlefield outside the territory, the young disciples of Qianji Sect suffer heavy casualties. Sometimes the casualties even exceed 60%, and countless promising weapon refiners die in vain here.
But in this extraterritorial battlefield trial, something shocking happened. Among the Qi Refining Stage trialists sent by Qianjimen this year, there was a God of War who shot two golden wheels of merit!
This man's name was Zhang Zhicheng, and he was unknown in Qianjimen. Many people only found out after asking around that this man was actually a disciple in charge of recycling used magic weapons in Qianjimen's Weapon Refining Hall.
In other words, this guy is a rag-picking loser.
As we all know, picking up rags can only train your ability to repair magic weapons at best, but it cannot develop real weapon refining skills at all. For aspiring weapon refiners, it is a complete waste to waste time in such a promising niche field.
life.
But some people must be responsible for some tasks. After all, magic weapon recycling is also one of the sect's financial resources, so often only the most disliked disciples are assigned to do such dirty work.
However, such a non-existent seventh-level weapon-refining monk actually killed two golden wheels of merit on the battlefield outside the territory. In other words, at least a dozen trialists died at the hands of this person.
Even the direct disciples of Zijin Pavilion, the overlord of Northern Mo State, rarely have such a fierce record!
It was as if an ideological and moral lecturer from a certain college suddenly published a cover article in "Nature" or "Sce". Zhang Zhicheng, who was originally a fringe figure in Qianjimen, instantly became a star of the entire sect. Before Yang Lu could wait,
The chief weapon refiner of the team enjoyed the joy of victory, and he was taken to the residence of the head of the Qianji Sect for questioning by the elder of the sect who was responsible for handling the trial monks.
The head of the Qianji Sect did not originally believe that his sect could cultivate such a being like Mr. Wolong, so he called Zhang Zhicheng over for questioning with a skeptical attitude.
However, Zhang Zhicheng is not without a trump card. Decades of garbage-picking career has allowed him to develop a unique skill of shooting countless semi-finished magic weapons at the enemy like cannonballs.
Although this move was jokingly called the "King's Garbage" by Yang Lu, its power is actually quite impressive, and the activation process only consumes very low mana. The actual mana used is actually the activation amount that makes the garbage magic weapons fly.
Not only that, due to the huge number and types of junk magic weapons, he can attack any enemy's weak points. If he is prepared in advance, the instantaneous firepower that Zhang Zhicheng can burst out is no less than that of the direct disciples of the seven major sects.
When facing Liu Xiahui, the direct descendant of Wanhua Valley, Zhang Zhicheng was able to take the opponent's full blow, which shows his power.
After Zhang Zhicheng demonstrated this special method, although the leader of Qianji Sect was still a little unbelievable, he was no longer as suspicious as before. More importantly, the "King's Trash" trick invented by Zhang Zhicheng could be said to be
It created a new idea in the field of weapon refining, which effectively made up for the serious lack of combat power of Qianji Sect's low-level weapon refining masters.
If this kind of magic can be popularized in Qianjimen, then the overall mortality rate of Qianjimen disciples in foreign battlefields in the future will probably be greatly reduced.
Of course, Zhang Zhicheng was able to practice "King's Trash" at almost zero cost, mainly because no one realized the power of this tactic before. If this tactic became popular among low-level weapon refiners, the price of scrapped magic weapons would also be
A rising tide lifts all boats, and it is unlikely that anyone in the future will be able to repeat the miracle of a salted fish turning around like Zhang Zhicheng.
Despite this, as a pioneer who created a new idea of refining weapons, as long as this method can be popularized, Zhang Zhicheng, as the first advocate, may also be able to cultivate the third golden wheel of merit.
A monk with three golden wheels of merit, even if he only has low-grade spiritual qualifications, is enough to become the mainstay of a local sect.
Although there is a killing move like "King's Trash", Zhang Zhicheng's ability to kill two golden wheels of merit is a bit outrageous, but the current head of Qianji Sect is too lazy to investigate further, because he has been completely overwhelmed by Zhang Zhicheng and Qianji Sect's future plans.
The prospect was dizzying.
Not to mention delving into Zhang Zhicheng’s experience on the battlefield outside the territory, even the death of his direct disciple on the battlefield outside the territory seems a bit irrelevant now. Anyone who dares to question Zhang Zhicheng will be the enemy of the entire Thousand Machines Sect!
Just when everyone in Qianji Sect was curious about what the leader had discussed when he summoned Zhang Zhicheng alone, the explosive news soon came out:
Because the original direct disciple of the sect accidentally died on the battlefield outside the territory, and considering that his sect sent talents like Zhang Zhicheng, the leader of the Qianji Sect decided to accept this person as his new direct disciple, and planned to stay with him to train him well.
!
From a garbage-picking disciple in the Weapon Refining Hall to a direct descendant of the head of the Qianji Sect, Zhang Zhicheng's status in the sect has soared to the sky.
Although Zhang Zhicheng is still only a seventh-level disciple of Qi Refining, and he is already quite old, he has passed the extraterritorial battlefield trial, has two golden wheels of merit, and has also captured a large amount of property, and has invented a new weapon refiner battle
Technology and advanced foundation building in the future are almost certain.
In other words, with the support of the leader himself, Zhang Zhicheng may be able to become the foundation-building elder of Qianjimen in the future. If his character breaks out again and he is lucky enough to advance to the Golden Core realm, he may even be able to compete for the next Qianjimen.
Leader!
As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.
After hearing the news, a large number of Qianji Sect disciples almost crossed the threshold of the weapon refining hall's magic weapon recycling station, just to get close to and have a good relationship with this talented new star who turned into a dragon when encountering a storm.
However, Zhang Zhicheng's previous presence in Qianjimen was almost zero. Even the management of the Artifact Refining Hall who was responsible for arranging tasks for him did not know what this kid was doing. Therefore, in front of everyone, they were looking for Zhang Zhicheng to wish (tao) congratulations (ci).
When the time came, I found that there was no trace of him anywhere.
What everyone didn't know was that after Zhang Zhicheng came out of the leader's cave, he immediately came to an independent courtyard in the back mountain of Qianjimen.
Those who can have an independent courtyard within Qianji Sect, except for the monks of the sect in the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage, are basically the direct disciples of the elders and masters in the late stage of Qi refining. Older refiners like Zhang Zhicheng who are picking up rubbish in the waste pile.
Disciples of the outer sect at the seventh level of Qi usually do not even have the qualifications to set foot in this sect's important territory.
But today is different from the past.
Zhang Zhicheng was already the direct disciple of the headmaster. After showing his identity card, the disciple responsible for guarding the back mountain immediately saluted him respectfully and let him go, even if he did not recognize him.
The courtyard Zhang Zhicheng visited was not ordinary.
There is not a high-level sect or a talented star living here, but a beautiful female cultivator in the Qi refining stage. She is sweeping the yard with a broom, and from time to time she raises her head and looks outside the yard, as if she is expecting something.
.
Looking at the opponent's back, Zhang Zhicheng swallowed hard.
Although my senior sister's appearance still looks relatively young, that is only because cultivators are skilled in beauty. Her real age is not too young for a cultivator in the weapon refining stage. This kind of beauty is in ruins.
, there is no comparison with the beautiful teammates he had in the unspoken battlefield outside the territory.
But perhaps because the other party was the person he had been secretly in love with for decades, Zhang Zhicheng seemed extremely hesitant at the moment. Even when he hacked to death the direct disciple of Zijin Pavilion, he was not so nervous.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the other party suddenly let out a shout of surprise:
"Senior Brother Niu, are you back?"
Hearing the other party call out his lover's name directly, Zhang Zhicheng said slightly awkwardly: "Senior sister, I am Zhang Zhicheng..."
After the female monk turned around and saw Zhang Zhicheng's face clearly, the smile on her face instantly solidified: "Why is it you? Why did you sneak into the forbidden area of the back mountain? Where did Brother Niu go?"
A complicated look flashed in Zhang Zhicheng's eyes: "Senior Brother Niu... has died on the battlefield outside the territory!"
The female cultivator's face suddenly turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't lie to me on purpose! Senior Brother Niu is the direct disciple of the master uncle, how could he die so casually on a battlefield outside the territory?"
Zhang Zhicheng just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Not to mention that Senior Brother Niu was just a direct disciple of the head of Qianji Sect, even if he was a direct disciple of Zijin Pavilion Supreme Elder Li Wenjing, he was still slaughtered like a dead dog in front of him.
Of course he knew why his senior sister was panicking.
Since the other party also had low-grade spiritual root qualifications, it was impossible to cultivate to the foundation building stage through normal channels, so she gave up the conventional cultivation methods very early and was used by the second-generation Immortal Brother Niu to use thousands of spiritual stone coins every year.
The price is affordable.
Although using someone else's cauldron as a cauldron will damage one's own cultivation foundation and bring a bad reputation, as long as the other person's behavior is not excessive, these losses are worth compared with the cultivation resources gained.
Now her cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is two levels higher than Zhang Zhicheng, who joined the Qianji Sect at the same time as her.
Therefore, she would naturally panic when she heard that her biggest financial supporter had died in a foreign battlefield. This was equivalent to the fact that the future benefits promised to her by Senior Brother Niu had now become a complete empty promise.
Zhang Zhicheng actually didn't know why he found this senior sister who was supported by the second generation of immortals as soon as he became the direct descendant of the head of Qianji Sect, just like he didn't know why he signed up to participate in the extraterritorial battlefield trial in the first place.
.
It's just that when he signed up to participate in the extraterrestrial battlefield trial, he thought more of "this is the way it is in this life anyway, it's better to break the jar and break it"; but now he has been promoted to the "Hero of Thousand Machines Gate"
"The joy went to his head, and by some strange mistake he came to the residence where his senior sister and senior brother Niu had a secret meeting.
However, when he saw that his childhood sweetheart, his senior sister, was still caring about Senior Brother Niu, Zhang Zhicheng didn't know what to say.
But after seeing his senior sister on the verge of tears, Zhang Zhicheng's heart twitched fiercely, and he blurted out: "Senior sister, don't worry, I will still protect you in the future!"
If his teammates on the battlefield outside the territory were to find out about such a dog-licking behavior, they would definitely laugh at him mercilessly. However, the consolation from the great receiver had no effect at this time.
The news that the man who supported him died on a battlefield outside the territory has made Zhang Zhicheng's senior sister completely unable to notice what this diaosi junior brother was talking about.
After all, she had already sacrificed too much to please Senior Brother Niu, but the unexpected death of the big benefactor was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for a woman like her who had no way out.
Of course she knew that Zhang Zhicheng had been secretly in love with her all year round, but she didn't think that a loser like Zhang Zhicheng could protect her. If Zhang Zhicheng was really capable of giving her what she needed, there would be no need for her to commit herself to the cruel and tyrannical Senior Brother Niu.
The biggest humiliation a woman can give a man is to ignore him.
Seeing the attitude of his senior sister, the great receiver Zhang Zhicheng was instantly hit hard in his heart.
The scene also fell into silence for a while.
Just when he was about to say something else, countless colorful lights suddenly appeared on the horizon, as if some powerful enemy was preparing to attack the Thousand Machines Sect headquarters. Even the beautiful senior sister who was in a state of confusion was attracted by such a scene.
Attention.
And what is faster than the escape light is the congratulations that come and go, spurred by the roar of the lions by the cultivators:
"Brother Zhicheng, we had a hard time looking for you!"
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zhicheng for becoming the head of our sect!"
"What did I say? When I was in the weapon refining hall, I knew that Junior Brother Zhang was definitely not a thing in the pool!"
"Junior Brother Zhang, we have investigated the matter clearly. When Junior Brother Zhang was assigned to do the work of recycling used magic weapons, it was Senior Brother Niu who instigated our mortal temporary workers in the Internal Affairs Hall to interfere with it. Senior Brother, I was also kept in the dark. What to do now?
We have found the mortal temporary worker we decided and executed him on the spot in accordance with the sect's regulations. If Junior Brother Zhang needs any compensation, just tell him, but don't mention it to the leader!"
Seeing these congratulators appearing in the crowd, Zhang Zhicheng's senior sister was stunned. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Zhicheng in disbelief and said: "Junior brother Zhang... what do these people call you?"
Zhang Zhicheng sighed and said: "Senior sister, after the death of Senior Brother Niu, I am already the new direct disciple of the head!"
The beautiful senior sister, whose mind went blank, took a serious look at her junior brother for the first time.
In her impression, although her master treats her well, he is a submissive guy. He has been a member of the Immortal Sect for nearly forty years, and he is still just a loser at the seventh level of Qi Refining. From any point of view, this kind of person
There is no hope in this life. After all, everyone has only heard of not bullying young people who are poor, but they have never heard of not bullying middle-aged people who are poor.
I don’t know why, but today Zhang Zhicheng’s tone of voice has not changed, but his whole temperament has become much more confident. He feels completely different from before, and looks much more attractive...
Before she could think of what she should say, Zhang Zhicheng was completely overwhelmed by the crowd who came to congratulate her.
"Junior Brother Zhang, my master, Elder Liu, has been waiting for a long time. He is planning to host a banquet for you in person!"
"We, Elder Feng, also want to meet you. You have also met Elder Feng's daughter. She still doesn't have a Taoist companion!"
"Do you understand the first-come, first-served rule? Junior Brother Zhang is a young hero trained by our Weapon Refining Hall. Of course you have to go and meet Hall Master Hu with me first!"
Before Zhang Zhicheng had time to reply, he was forcibly taken away by the enthusiastic senior brothers, leaving the beautiful senior sister with a blank face standing there blankly. No one paid any attention to her from the beginning to the end, as if she was nothing.
, after all, who cares about a ruined product that has been used for decades?
Seeing Zhang Zhicheng being carried away by the stars, she felt a little disappointed in her heart:
Some opportunities may be missed and never come back.
