Chapter 794

The news about Kou Chongxue's absence for a long time was aroused in Youzhou. Although the three deputy mountain chiefs came forward to refute the rumors in person, and then Yunjing personally sat in Tongyou City and began to clean up the academy, but it was still difficult to stop the rumors spread.

Moreover, after the two college deacons who were "humiliated" by Yunjing during the purge process, inadvertently revealed a few words in their casual complaints with friends after drinking too much at the wine table, the relevant Kou Chongxue may have found a secret The news that he secretly went to find the opportunity to advance to the sixth heaven, quickly spread outside Youzhou through secret channels!

And soon the news about the banquet was detected by the Department of Social Affairs of Tongyou Academy, and the two academy deacons who "speak the truth after drinking" were quickly found out by Yunjing for questioning, and then there was no more talk about those two college deacons. news of the two.

Soon, rumors about Kou Chongxue's retreat, death, and disappearance suddenly increased in Tongyou City, as if these news seemed to come out of nowhere.

Moreover, these news come in all sorts of varieties, with various versions, some of which sound serious, while others are extremely exaggerated, all of a sudden diluting the impact of the first two rumors.

However, in the eyes of many interested people, the rumors with various versions that appeared at the end are more like the smoke deliberately released by the Tongyou Academy to cover up the previous news about Kou Chongxue going to the outer space of the starry sky.

The more and more absurd guesses there are about Kou Chongxue's whereabouts in Tongyou City, the more it can prove the "correctness" of the two academy deacons who slipped up after drinking.

When Tongyou City was extremely lively, the time had quietly passed the 859th year of the Shenwu calendar, and Shang Xia ushered in the 960th year of the Shenwu calendar in Haimin's small courtyard.

Hai Yuanyuan has now successfully condensed and completed the sublimation of martial arts will, and now she is able to sit alone overseas on an island and the development of the surrounding sea area, which can be regarded as her own.

But also because of this, the child didn't come back for the New Year, but Shang Xia enjoyed the world of two to his heart's content for a while.

However, this kind of leisure did not last long. Just after the fifth day of the first lunar month, Chu Jia urged him to return to the academy with the frequency of a communication talisman almost every day.

Shang Xia came to Fu Tang helplessly, and saw not only Chu Jia from a distance, but also Ren Bainian, Ren Huan and Shang Quan were already waiting there.

"I knew it!"

Shang Xia muttered in a low voice, then walked in a bit "mourned", found a random place and sat down.

"This is hiding in your own gentle and comfortable nest, and you don't want to come out?"

Chu Jiayu inspected it with mocking eyes.

Ren Bainian, Ren Huan, and Shang Quan all had expressions of wandering away, as if they hadn't heard what Chu Jia just said, let alone the sourness in those mocking tones.

Shang Xia glanced at her, and said, "Is it necessary for people to spend the New Year in peace?"

"Where is the New Year after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"

Chu Jia refuted her, then pointed to the other three people, and said, "Hey, it's not that I want to find you, but that they dare not bother you, so they can only ask me in the end."

Shang Xia said: "Understood, understood!"

Chu Jia was slightly satisfied when she heard the words, but then realized that Shang Xia's tone was more like

I was perfunctory, and immediately rushed to a moment of frustration, so I said angrily: "Which of you three will come first?"

Shang Xia felt that Chu Jia's emotions seemed to have ups and downs, but he didn't know the reason, but felt a little baffled.

Ren Bainian laughed dryly at this time, and said, "The old man should come first."

After all, Ren Bainian took out a long strip-shaped spirit sealing box from his cuff, and said, "Boss Shang, this is a bone talisman pen modified by two master craftsmen from Bai|Bingfang!"

"The transformation was successful?"

Shang Xia's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and after taking the box, he opened it and asked casually, "When did I become the 'chief manager'?"

This time it was Ren Huan who answered, and he smiled and said: "Futang has never had any appointments before. Everyone mostly judges their status by making talismans. At first, it was Gong Fushi, and later it was Shangfu." Brother, but from this year onwards, the various duties and appointments of the college will be standardized, and Brother Shang, you are naturally the person in charge of the affairs of the Futang, and everyone is naturally called "Chief". The manager is Master Chu, and there are others..."

Shang Xia's hand to open the spirit sealing box froze slightly, and he raised his hand to interrupt Ren Huan, and then said seriously: "I don't care what the heads of other halls call me, but everyone in Futang must call me 'Tang! Lord, whoever dares to call me 'Boss', I will... I will let go of everything in Futang!"

After all, Shang Xia felt that he should emphasize it again, so he repeated: "This is very important!"

Ren Huan and the others looked at each other for a while, not knowing why Shang Xia was so fussy about a title. It was obvious that he was so serious about the matter but he didn't dare to ask the reason. It is widely known that you must not annoy your own fifth-order great talisman master just because of a title.

After opening the spirit sealing box, I saw a chi-long talisman pen lying inside. A piece of spirit bone from a fifth-order sea beast was taken, and the pen holder was refined by two master weapon masters to replace the original pen holder of the bone talisman pen. .

Shang Xia took the talisman pen out of the box, and immediately felt the difference between the bone talisman pen and the previous one. He was overjoyed and asked: "Senior, what do you think of the two master weapon refiners from Bai|Bingfang? How can people evaluate this talisman pen after it has been remodeled?"

Ren Bainian smiled and said: "Those two master weapon masters don't seem to be very old, but the means of refining weapons are beyond the reach of this old man. Just by watching from the sidelines, this old man feels that he has benefited a lot. As for the evaluation of those two, there is no , I have a suggestion..."

When Ren Bainian said this, his tone paused slightly, and Shang Xia suddenly showed doubts.

Ren Bainian gave a dry laugh, and said hastily, "They said they suggested Mr. Shang...the hall master to replace it with a good inkstone."

"Inkstone?"

Shang Xia suddenly realized something, lifted the pen holder and carefully checked the tip of the pen, and found that the tip of the talisman pen was actually broken.

Shang Xia originally thought that this should be a natural damage in the process of writing high-level martial talismans, but judging from what the two master weapon masters of Bai|Bingfang said, even if a good inkstone cannot avoid this kind of damage, it should be able to This loss is minimized.

Shang Xia nodded, and then asked: "About raising the Bone Talisman Pen to a divine weapon, did they have any suggestions?"

Ren Bainian said: "Those two said that changing the pen holder and then changing the nib is almost equivalent to refining a talisman pen. The bone talisman pen has already been used.

There is not much value for transformation. If Shang... the hall master can find the spirit hairs from the fifth-order strange beasts, it is best to find the spirit bones from the same strange beasts, so that they can be sure to refine a spirit that is closest to the gods. It is the talisman pen of a soldier, but whether this talisman pen can successfully complete the transformation to the rank of a soldier depends on the chance of the hall master. "

Shang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

After Ren Bainian finished speaking, Ren Huan immediately stood up and said, "Master..."

Shang Xia frowned, raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Brother Ren, why are you out of touch?"

Ren Huan smiled, and then changed his words: "Brother Shang, in the past three years, experiments on the production of different source crystals in talisman paper and talisman ink blending have made some progress."

When Shang Xia heard this, his spirits lifted a little, and he said with a smile, "The price of the experiment is very high, right?"

Ren Huan also smiled and said, "Fortunately, at least these costs were not in vain."

Then Ren Huan introduced to Shang Xia: "After adding crystal powder ground from different source crystals, we found that the talisman paper made from it, when making martial talismans with the same or similar characteristics as the crystal powder itself, The success rate will usually increase a lot; but if it is used to make martial talismans with different characteristics from crystal powder, the success rate will be far lower than the normal level of a talisman master; The powder characteristics are completely opposite, and the success rate may be directly low to the disaster level."

At this time, Shang Quan, who had never opened his mouth, also said: "The deployment of talisman ink is the same. In the past, although there were specific talisman inks used to make specific martial talismans with a certain bonus to the success rate, but in most cases, regardless of Both talisman paper and talisman ink are common. But now, as more and more results have been obtained in the experiment of adding different crystal powders, in the future, talisman paper and talisman ink will be specially designed according to the needs of talisman masters. Aligned."

Ren Huan also added: "Also, the demand for source crystals with different characteristics will increase greatly, and we need to stock up on these source crystals with different characteristics in advance."

At this time, Chu Jia interjected: "This has actually been carried out in secret three years ago. The academy has discovered several places where spars with different characteristics can be obtained on a fixed basis, and has strictly guarded them. At the same time, it is still continuing By expanding the scope and intensity of our search, we already have a first-mover advantage."

Shang Xia thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is actually a kind of progress. In the past, the talisman making talisman and the inksmith's ink mixing all tended to be applicable and comprehensive. There are several methods, and he is only good at one or two specific methods, but the talisman paper and ink made by talisman craftsmen and inksmiths are not necessarily for one or two people, so only the talisman paper and talisman ink made by them can be considered. Mo can be used by anyone. Now there are dozens of talisman talisman masters and talisman apprentices. Even if each person is only good at making a few martial talismans, there will always be overlap when there are too many people, so it is better to make some The specific talisman paper and talisman ink that help to improve the success rate are more suitable."

Shang Xia then communicated with the three of them for a while, and learned about Qitang, Futang and the merchants.

Chu Jia on the side had already been impatient for a long time. Seeing that the few people had already chatted, she immediately chased them away: "This is the formation hall, why don't you go to your talisman hall to talk about something?"

Ren Bainian, Ren Huan, and Shang Quan didn't know what to do, so they got up and left immediately, leaving the rest of the time for Shang Xia and Chu Jia.
