Chapter 36 Chapter 36 The Road to Innovation
When everyone met each other, they suddenly found that the "Four Young Masters of Yujing" were all present in the defensive lineup at the center of the city.This also means that the younger generation of Yujing began to join the family affairs one after another.

All of a sudden, dignified figures from various family forces rushed forward, centered on the four of them, who greeted each other, and made friends with each other.

Especially Fu Mingxuan's side was the most crowded. He had been away from Yujing for a long time in the past few years, and although he returned home every few years, he was still in a hurry.Many small families with insufficient status have never seen him in person.

Yan Kaiting was the first one to get away. This man's bad temper was so famous that someone came up to him and flattered him a few times. Seeing that his face was dark and he was not happy, he didn't dare to pester him any more.

Han Fenglai had already retreated behind Sun Huabiao. His attire would have been questioned by others, but the scene right now was more like a party than a war preparation, and no one cared to care whether he was a newcomer to the Fu family or the Yan family. strong.

Yan Kaiting walked over with strides, tilted his head and saw him, and said, "What are you doing standing there, come with me!" After saying that, he entered the central courtyard connected by four Huabiao corners.Han Fenglai was still holding Konghou in his arms, so he hurried over to follow.

That courtyard is where the cornerstone of the formation is located, and it is closed in normal times, but it is the command site of this area during wartime, and only the strong leaders of each family are allowed to enter.

There is no extra landscape in the yard, the brown jade covers every inch of the ground, and the inner wall is also made of the same material, but the color is slightly lighter, as if it was carefully selected during construction.

In the center is a building in the style of a great hall. At this moment, the doors on all sides are wide open, and you can clearly see a large magic weapon in the shape of a tower with dense eaves inside, with bands of light swirling around it, and strings of runes appear from time to time .

There are some cases and seats in the open air in the courtyard, which are obviously temporary furnishings for the use of the guards, not permanent things here.At this moment, no one was seated in the courtyard, only a few servants wearing the standard clothes of the City Lord's Mansion shuttled between the seats, making final preparations.

Yan Kaiting sat down casually, and then asked Han Fenglai to sit down too.

There were actually wine and snacks in the food box beside the desk. Yan Kaiting picked it up and took a look. It was plum stuffed with a very light taste. He shook the wine bottle at Han Fenglai and said, "Do you want a bowl?"

Han Fenglai opened his eyes wide and shook his head decisively, "No."

Yan Kaiting casually stuffed the slender-necked porcelain bottle back into the food box, obviously he himself had no interest in drinking.

Seeing that the two were about to fall into staring silence again, Yan Kaiting seemed to have finally thought of a topic.

"There is a saying in the craftsman's mansion that Venerable Yushi created the method of 'opening molds' to make magical artifacts. Although he pointed out a shortcut for craftsmen to create magical artifacts higher than their own abilities, it also broke many small craftsmen's houses. The way of life, is there such a saying?"

Han Fenglai was startled when he heard the words, and seeing Yan Kaiting's curious but innocent eyes, he could be sure that he was not insinuating the expansion and merger of "Yetian Workshop" when he asked this question.

Venerable Yushi is a strong figure on the Futu list, and also a genius-type master craftsman.He is not keen on refining spiritual weapons and fairy weapons, but likes to make all kinds of ingenious gadgets. Many ideas have never been seen before, which can be called astonishing and brilliant works.

But the refining master can be said to be exploring the avenue, and for the monks who use weapons, it is to improve the possibility of survival during their cultivation.Therefore, if those utensils have limited power or no power at all, apart from being amazed for a while, maybe only female cultivators prefer to collect and play with them.

The complete process of a refiner is divided into six stages, smelting, purification, shaping, casting, formation, and shaping.For most people, the seventh stage of Heling will never be used in their lifetime.

In this process, those who have to rely on the workshop's fire dragon furnace and magic circle painting tools can only be called craftsmen, and those who have their own way of refining by fire are the real craftsmen.It can be seen that among the thousands of cultivators, the number of cultivators in the art of refining is actually limited.

However, whether it is a craftsman or a craftsman, before the Venerable Yushi created the method of "opening the mold", they all completed the process of making an artifact independently.

However, the emergence of the "mold opening" method has changed this process.This is another subversive creation after the blueprint appeared in the history of refining equipment.

The blueprint is to fix the production methods of some commonly used weapons and magic weapons, so that they are no longer unique secrets.Mold opening is the four stages of smelting, purification, shaping, and casting that most affect the quality of weapon embryos, and uses fixed molds, fixed fire seeds, and fixed fire dragon channels to assist in molding, reducing the influence of the refiner's own operations.

A person will always have some shortcomings in a certain section, just like most non-fire craftsmen work hard on purification, while craftsmen whose temperament is not delicate enough may be a little rough in shaping.Fixing the first four segments will greatly level the quality of the final product.

Of course, the smelting mold that can replace manpower, not to mention the difficulty of making the real thing, but the material itself that is not refined is a treasure.Not to mention the resources consumed in the later stages.

Therefore, the "mold opening" method is almost impossible for individuals and small craftsmen, but for large craftsmen, it is a good shortcut to improve the overall quality.

Just like weapons made according to drawings will only be popular products, the basic embryos that are molded into weapons are of stable quality, but they cannot be the best.

However, how scarce resources are in the way of cultivating the Tao, let alone such weapons of war that will never be enough.How many casual cultivators can only use ordinary weapons, even if they cut a few more beasts, their blades will be cut.A long time ago, magical artifacts were once the exclusive resources of each sect, and they were not sold to casual practitioners at all. The only way to obtain them was the black market, or they could only be obtained by killing people.

The "open mold" approach seems to be good for all parties.

Many mid-to-high-end weapons with one or two difficulties in craftsmanship were the first to greatly increase the yield rate, and soon became popular in the market.Users get a larger supply.Manufacturers rely on this method, learn from each other's strengths, and jointly produce better finished products than they can refine alone.

However, apart from the individual, at the workshop level, the external expansion of the top craftsman's mansion and the merger of the subordinates will soon be formed.

The refiner is still the most high-end resource, and his status has not been shaken in the slightest.However, skilled craftsmen, special products of the craftsman's house, different fires with various attributes, and basic materials have become the focus of competition among the craftsmen's house.

The reason is simple, five hundred craftsmen are easier to screen and combine into more "mold opening" production lines than one hundred craftsmen.And more special products, whether it is a single sieve or a simple combination, may produce new products suitable for "mold opening".

Speaking of this, Han Feng took a look at Yan Kaiting, wondering if the mansion master, who is said to have almost no field experience in the craftsman's mansion, could understand.

Yan Kaiting crossed his knees and propped his elbows, resting his chin, maintaining a thoughtful posture. At this moment, Han Feng came to a stop, but he reacted immediately, as if he was really listening.

"Well, I understand. As long as there is a permanent shortage of weapons for monks, there will always be a possibility of innovation in the process of refining weapons. Even if this time there is no method of 'molding', it may be 'formation' and 'setting' later on." 'changes." At this point, Yan Kaiting touched his chin and said: "'Open Formation' is actually a general-purpose formation, and formation cultivation is a big method!"

Han Fenglai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Many of the master craftsmen are practitioners of crafts and formations." He was not sure whether Yan's trial was really good, or if he got something, he should just say it.

Yan Kaiting nodded seriously and said, "Oh."

Seeing that he was about to end the topic with another word, someone else finally came in from the courtyard gate.

This time, it was Lu Li, the head of the Yujing seat of the "Golden Valley Garden", who escaped.

Lu Li is an elegant young man in his twenties, with a slightly round face and small eyes, which become two crescent moons when he smiles.From the strands of hair to the silk shoes with dark cloud patterns on the feet, it is written that harmony is the most precious, and auspiciousness makes money.

He is a well-known good gentleman among the "Four Young Masters of Yujing". Not to mention Tu Yuyong and Fu Mingxuan, he has a good relationship with Yan Kaiting, and he is a friend who can go to the flower boat together to have fun.It's just that recently, Yan Kaiting was chasing everyone in "Yi Lanzhou" Linxi madly, and Lu Li hosted a banquet there, and they called him a few times but didn't move him.

When Lu Li saw that Yan was holding court without any red tape, he found a place nearby to sit down and said with a smile, "Hey, Brother Ting looks good, it's a sign that you want to get things done!"

Yan Kaiting choked for a moment. Ever since he fell in love with Shuyu everyone, Lu Li had always teased him about this, but he couldn't tell him proudly at this moment, just take it as what he really wanted.

So Yan Kaiting could only glance at him, and said: "I'll tell you the secret, thank you! Carve a mahogany beauty and put it on the desk, so you can sleep soundly." His words are not just talking nonsense, not a room full of peach blossoms Heartwood?

Lu Li is no stranger to the Yan Mansion, and has also been in the "Flowers Never Forget Garden". He smiled and said, "I can't find this wood in the Northland, so it's not easy to buy. Can you tear down a wall panel and give it to me?"

In order to prevent Yan Kaiting and him from becoming poor, Lu Li gestured outside the door without waiting for Yan Kaiting to speak, and said, "Mingxuan and Brother Yong will come in soon, and they are already arranging defense outside."

Yan Kaiting nodded lazily, with no interest on his face.

Lu Li didn't think it was strange, and still chatted with him casually.

But if you listen carefully, Lu Li's words are very measured. How many things have happened in the past two days, but he is full of romance, and he doesn't ask any extra questions, even Han Fenglai, who is sitting next to Yan Kaiting, doesn't ask.

At this time, strong men from various families began to come in one after another, and there were not many people.Generally, the four major families will bring three or four chief stewards or guest ministers, and each of the other families will only have one or two people. Not every family power present is qualified to send people in.

The courtyard where the formation eye is located is only this size, filling people's heads is meaningless.Especially in the hall where the magic weapon is located, it is even more necessary for the guards to be able to control the power accurately, so as to avoid accidental injury from the big move, and those who are almost weak should not come in to make trouble.

When Fu Mingxuan and Tu Yuyong came in hand in hand, there were more than 30 people gathered in the courtyard, almost all of them were present.

The host here is of course the City Lord's Mansion in name.A great elder of the Tu family explained the defense to everyone, and Tu Yuyong stood aside to accompany them.

There is nothing special about the Great Elder's speech. Yu Jingcheng has to practice it every year, and he is familiar with all the procedures.However, everyone in the seats still listened carefully. Even Yan Kaiting, who participated in the court for the first time, was very respectful and kept a serious face throughout the whole process. The First Elder couldn't help being very pleased.

This is the first time that Tu Yuyong has appeared in public on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, and his expression is quite high-spirited.As soon as the explanation was over, he didn't go back to the seat in the area of ​​Tu's house. Instead, he rushed to Yan Kaiting's side excitedly and sat down without asking.

Tu Yuyong saw Han Fenglai on the other side at a glance, looked him up and down, didn't ask much, turned to Yan Kaiting, bumped into him and said, "Brother Ting, I don't see that you have made great progress recently. Come on, you and I don't need it." Lingbing, fight one more time!"

The two had been fighting since they were young, Yan Kaicourt would not care about him, but Tu Yuyong refused to let go easily, just sat and refused to leave, saying: "After tonight, I don't know whether I will live or die, why are you still hiding it!"

The two of them struggled for an unknown amount of time, when a complacent voice suddenly came from the side, "Luckily, the villain won again, can you give me some advice from the owner of the Yan Mansion?"

Tu Yuyong's expression suddenly sank when he heard the sound, but Yan Kaiting's expression remained the same, still lazily looking at the challenger.
