A mocking voice came from the crowd.
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows and looked back to see who dared to provoke him. Was it the Taoist disciple of that sloppy old Taoist? Or was it a Buddhist disciple who was dissatisfied with Little Ann?
All he saw was a young man in white dressed like a Confucian scholar with two beautiful girls beside him. Hm? A Confucian disciple.
"Who are you? Tell me your name. "
Chu Tian snorted. "Don't pretend you don't know me. I am Chu Tian."
Li Qingshan found him vaguely familiar. He suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the genius who had the Five Elements Constitution during the attribute test?
However, they had never interacted with each other before, so no matter how he looked at him, he was completely unaware that he had caused Chu Tian to lose a thousand spirit stones. Even if he had known, he would have scolded him and said that he deserved it.
Seeing that the other party had come with ill intentions, Chu Tian did not bother to be polite and said, "I've always been too lazy to remember the names of small fries."
Chu Tian's eyes widened in anger. No one had ever dared to look down on him like this since he was young.
"Alright, Li Qingshan. This young master has come to humiliate you a little. If you just accept it obediently, then so be it. Making this young master happy is your blessing, yet you're still bold enough to jump up and talk back. You have no idea what kind of trouble you've caused. I see that you're a talent. Now, admit your mistake and call me Boss, and we'll be brothers. "
Li Qingshan was dumbfounded by what he heard. He never thought there would actually be such a weirdo in the world. Even his anger vanished. He frowned at Chu Tian before turning to Hao Pingyang. "Is there something wrong with this person's head?"
Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing were also shocked. They did not expect Chu Tian, one of the top three geniuses of the entrance exam, to have something wrong with his head.
Li Qingshan was the chief disciple of the school of Novels. Although he had attracted a lot of disdain and hostility, those who came here were all new disciples. Who would make enemies just for a moment of fun? That would be stupid.
But this genius Chu Tian did not have such considerations. He said something that shocked even the onlookers.
The young girl beside Chu Tian pouted coquettishly, "How dare you say that about our Big Brother Tian, do you know that our Big Brother Tian is …"
Before she could finish her sentence. Li Qingshan had already pulled Hao Pingyang away like he was hiding from a madman, which immediately made her face bright-red.
Chu Tian angrily said, "Li Qingshan, stop right there. Are you afraid of this young master? If you're scared, then call me boss. Otherwise, I won't let you off! "
Li Qingshan said, "There is only one person in my life who deserves me to call him Lao Da. It looked like shit. Stay away from me. Don't think that I won't dare to step on you just because you're shit. "
The quarrel between the two had already attracted many onlookers. As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd roared with laughter.
Hao Pingyang laughed. "What a wonderful metaphor."
Hua Chenglu and Yu Zijian stood to one side as well. They had received guidance from a senior as well. Out of the various introductory courses for forging artifacts, this professor from the school of Mohism taught them the best.
Hua Chenglu smiled. Li Qingshan was still the same as when she first met him. He was extremely arrogant.
Chu Tian never thought he would become a laughing stock instead. He was utterly furious. Just when he was about to lose his temper, someone called out, "The professor is here."
The disciples all returned to their seats. Although Chu Tian was filled with hatred, he was not bold enough to start a fight in front of the professor. The Hundred Schools of Thought seemed open and free, but they were not without rules. As for those rules … They were upheld by the school of Legalism, known for their strict laws.
Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing used this opportunity to bid farewell. They could be regarded as senior disciples of the school of Mohism, so they obviously could not waste their time. Then, he came to listen to these basic lessons, saying that he would pick him up after class and bring him around the Divine Machine Island.
Li Qingshan did not even glance at Chu Tian again. He found a seat towards the back and sat down. The entire lecture hall was shaped like a huge whirlpool. He sat at the edge of the whirlpool. This habit came from his distant past life, which made him sigh slightly.
However, as soon as he sat down. An empty space immediately appeared beside him. In particular, a female disciple of the school of Confucianism was filled with disgust. She hid seven or eight steps away.
Li Qingshan smiled and did not mind at all. Suddenly, he heard Chu Tian's voice. "Now you know who's the shit!"
Li Qingshan frowned. There was a gust of fragrance beside him, and Qian Rongzhi sat down beside him. She smiled. "Nice clothes."
Chu Tian was surprised. Qian Rongzhi was the woman he had taken a fancy to. He immediately felt like he had been betrayed, so he turned his head away furiously.
"What is it?" Li Qingshan did not look away. A skinny, gray-haired old man walked in with a few boxes in his arms. He stood at the center of the whirlpool, on the circular lectern.
Afterwards, he began to drink tea by himself.
Everyone was surprised, but none of them dared to whisper to one another. They conversed with their true qi.
Qian Rongzhi asked, "Where's Little Ann? Why isn't she with you? "
"We don't seem to be on good terms yet. We can talk about her."
Qian Rongzhi revealed a sorrowful expression. Li Qingshan could not tell if it was real or fake. "She's learning the 《Cloud Bookcase Seven Lots》 from Ma Buyi in the school of Yin-yang. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Li Qingshan could disdain Chu Tian's so-called genius provocation and immediately scold him back. However, when he spoke to her, he had to raise his guard. He did not want to become enemies with her over such a small matter. Moreover, he felt that her concern for Little Ann was not fake.
Even if Chu Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred, he did not care. However, if there came a day when he felt her hostility, then he could only kill her.
"Thank you. Wei Zhongyuan, do you have time?"
"So urgent?"
Qian Rongzhi supported her cheek with one hand. "Revenge should be taken early. I'm not asking you to kill him right now. I still need to plan."
"Revenge? Yours or mine? "
"Of course it's mine." Qian Rongzhi touched her smooth cheek. That slap, she wanted to return it ten times, a hundred times over. She said leisurely, "I can't wait to tell Vice Sect Leader Wei in detail how I tortured Wei Yingjie to death bit by bit. Then, I used the same method on him again. Hehe, there is nothing more fun in life than this."
Following the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Li Qingshan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse. What a motherf * cking pervert.
Qian Rongzhi seemed to be enjoying Li Qingshan's expression very happily. It was as if the voice in her heart had finally found someone to listen to, and that person had no choice but to listen.
"In return, I can help you investigate that Chu Tian's background. He won't let this matter rest. There's also that female instructor who intends to harm Little Ann."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. That old man is starting to speak." Li Qingshan said casually. He didn't agree nor reject. In any case, Wei Zhongyuan had to die. As for that female instructor, he would just kill her if he met her. It would also be a little fun for him.
However, he didn't know that this kind of thinking was no different from a pervert in the eyes of ordinary people.
On the podium, the professor finally stopped drinking his tea. He revealed a satisfied expression and coughed twice. "Fellow daoists, this old man is Meng Xiqi …"
The two of them stopped talking and focused on the lecture.
That professor named Meng Xiqi didn't say anything, but once he did, it was like a river bursting its banks. From the origin of refining to the development of refining, his voice reverberated in this whirlpool-like lecture hall, clearly entering everyone's ears.
"Some people say that refining and alchemy are all external paths. That's true, but it's precisely these external paths that allow you all to sit here in peace and not worry about the invasion of fiendish demons. As for those fiendish demons that only cultivate internal paths, they can only retreat and hide in the depths of the mountains …"
This was Li Qingshan's first time coming into contact with the Dao of refining, so he listened especially attentively. This Meng Xiqi was indeed as Zhang Lanqing said. His lecture was excellent, full of wit and captivating. Although his cultivation was only at Qi Refinement Level 8, he could be considered an expert in the field of refining.
After roughly explaining the history and meaning of refining, Meng Xiqi began to teach the true Dao of refining.
Li Qingshan was fascinated by the lecture. Only then did he realize that the Dao of refining was actually so profound. From the initial modification and fusion of materials to the insertion of spirit talismans and the inscription of spirit formations, every step was extremely difficult.
What's more, he didn't expect these "external paths" to be so closely related. The spirit talismans of refining and the talismans of the Dao of talismans were not the same, but they were essentially the same.
Talismans were a type of text that was used to communicate with heaven and earth. There were close to a thousand common talismans and the effects they could produce were countless. In the process of refining weapons, the insertion of spirit talismans was an indispensable step. Therefore, it was necessary to have some understanding of the Dao of talismans.
Above spirit weapons were dharmic weapons. Spirit formations had to be inscribed in order to produce more powerful and complicated effects. Qi Practitioners naturally didn't have that ability. However, if one wanted to become a true master of refining weapons, it was necessary to have some basic understanding of spirit formations.
Li Qingshan knew that he had to revise his lecture. However, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, as though he had found a direction in the darkness.
After lecturing for two hours, Meng Xiqi returned to the most basic of refining weapons – changing the state of materials.
"A good blacksmith has to go through many steps to refine a sword. The basics are forging, hammering and quenching. They require a furnace, a huge hammer, a small hammer, a bellows, a water tank, a grindstone, and many other tools. However, for us, a Weapon Tripod is enough. In fact, we don't even need a tripod …"
After the lecture, he picked up the wooden box that he had brought. There were many small square wooden blocks placed neatly in it. He let the disciples in the front row pass them to the back.
Meng Xiqi asked them to turn it into a ball without destroying the wood grain as much as possible. The material of the wooden block was pine wood. It was relatively soft and easy to change its shape. If one wanted to learn refining weapons, he had to be able to use his own strength to change the shape of the material.
Li Qingshan also got a pine wood block and immediately began to practice. He slowly injected his true qi into it and followed the method that Meng Xiqi taught him to let his true qi gradually fuse with the wooden block.
With the extremely pure true qi and the gentle and easy to manipulate nature of the Gui Water true qi, he succeeded in this step on the first time.
When he began to change his true qi, the shape of the wooden block also twisted and changed a little. It was as though it was no longer wood. It also became water with the Gui Water true qi.
