return from cultivation

Chapter 673 Direction
Min Zhiyuan sighed and said, "It's not that the old man thinks too far, but that he really has no other way."

Yan Zijin was silent, he could hear the helplessness and exhaustion in the words of the capital of the capital.Min Zhiyuan has been the capital for nearly a hundred years. A hundred years ago, the Jingsi was considered one of the most powerful forces. Except for the barracks to fight against it, everything else is not worth mentioning.However, within a hundred years, Yan Zhongli, a sword cultivator, has risen, and the status of a craftsman has also become more important with the appearance of the ultimate magic weapon.

Although the ferocious beasts were driven out of the human habitat, the status of the barracks remained unchanged.In the land of Hongyu, which advocates force, no one can shake the barracks that hold the power of life and death except the king.

After Min Zhiyuan took over the position of the capital of the Jingsi, he tried his best, but he couldn't keep his position.Seeing Jing Si slipping down day by day, being gradually overtaken by sword cultivators and weapon refiners, he was helpless and angry.

However, compared with these two forces, Jingsi's role is indeed very small. Survival of the fittest and the strong prey on the weak are also unavoidable.

Yan Zijin joined the Jingsi for only five or sixty years. During these years, he saw Min Zhiyuan racking his brains for the Jingsi.In the eyes of others, the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm should have been high and out of reach.But Min Zhiyuan is not like that, he is just like an ordinary person, fighting for his ideal.Such an attitude is admirable. From then on, Yan Zijin vowed to help the Lord Capital revitalize the capital.

It's just that there is too much gap between the reality and the ideal. They have worked hard for so long, but they have not seen any results.

Min Zhiyuan said that there was really no other way, it was because Jing Si was too weak that he had to consider those details that ordinary people couldn't think of.As long as there is a little advantage, he doesn't need to think so much.

"My lord, I will do my best to handle this matter, no matter what, I must let Zhou Zheng join the capital!" Yan Zijin cupped his hands.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Min Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "You and I know exactly what's going on with Jingsi. If the recruitment fails, the old man won't blame you. Do your best and obey the destiny, so be it."

As he spoke, the Lord Capital sighed and stopped speaking.

On the other side, the incident in the south of the city also reached Yan Zhongli's ears via Zhou Hongjun.

Suhang lived in his yard, and his every move was closely watched.Zhan Lingqing is a maid, and Zhou Hongjun who bought her knows it best.The treasure that caused headaches for the craftsmen was definitely not made by this girl.Otherwise, why would she stay in Xiangrouyuan?

"A craftsman?" Yan Zhongli was a little surprised by the news.But thinking back to when he went to Changping Village and saw countless people refining low-level magic weapons, he felt that this was a reasonable thing.If you don't have a few brushes, how can you teach those countrymen how to forge weapons?
It's just that being able to hold down the craftsmen in the capital shows that this level is higher than expected.Especially when he heard that even people like Yan Guangji failed, and even became angry from embarrassment, Yan Zhongli took a look at Suhang's level of refining weapons.

"Master, we have been under the control of the craftsman for a long time, if we can recruit Zhou Zheng to refine the crafts for us, then we can stop being angry." Zhou Hongjun suggested.

"A mere craftsman, how can you make us angry!" Yan Zhongli said a little unhappy, but he did not completely refute Zhou Hongjun's words, but said: "However, your words are not unreasonable. It is better to find someone to refine the weapon than to refine it yourself." Weapons. We have no shortage of masters in sword repair, but magic swords are easily damaged. If we can develop people who specialize in sword cultivation, it is not impossible. But there are too few people, and it is difficult to achieve success."

"Master, what do you mean, how many more people will be recruited? But the craftsmen are all under the jurisdiction of Huo Lianggong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to..."

"Who said that those people are going to be recruited." Yan Zhongli interrupted him, saying: "Over the years, all the refiners have been united as a whole, and there is basically no precedent for joining other forces. Because of this, the refiner The status of the weapon master is so high. If we can break the convention, not only will it be beneficial to the development of the sword cultivator, but also the king of the country will be happy. Therefore, to recruit Zhou Zheng, it is even more necessary to gather people with talent for refining and hand them over to him. Create a team of craftsmen with sufficient level for us!"

"It's a good thing, Master, what you want is to go far!" Zhou Hongjun said excitedly.

This kind of flattery is too obvious, Yan Zhongli is tired of listening to it, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, go to Zhou Zheng, and tell him what I mean. His visit to the capital this time is by no means for the purpose of increasing knowledge. He should have some special purpose. .You ask him, what you want, as long as you can give it to him, you can give it to him.”

Zhou Hongjun hesitated for a while, and then said: "When he first came to see you, he said that he wanted to meet the king and send troops to deal with Faxiu. If you take this opportunity to make this request..."

"A mere law repair is nothing. Even if I take him to see the lord, the lord can't spend his strength at will because of the rat problem in his country. Tell him, except for this matter, everything else is fine!" Yan Zhongli said .

Zhou Hongjun hummed, turned and left.Walking hurriedly, it can be seen that he is very concerned about whether Suhang can be recruited by Yan Zhongli.

This is understandable. He brought Suzhou and Hangzhou to the capital. If he really became an indispensable talent for sword repair, he, Zhou Hongjun, would also be credited with great merit.Why not do this kind of thing that goes well with favors and can take advantage of it?
After Zhou Hongjun left, Yan Zhongli looked at Liu Jianyi, the elder brother of the sword cultivator standing beside him, and asked, "You have met that junior, what do you think?"

"He is a master, but his cultivation base is a little lacking. If he can enter the realm of heaven and man, it will be of great use." Liu Jianyi said briefly.

Yan Zhongli hummed, and didn't ask any more questions.He turned around, looked at the tall clay figurine, and asked after a long time, "You keep your eyes closed, and you have different opinions on everything. What should you do if you think I'm a clay figurine?"

Liu Jianyi turned his head, as if observing the clay figurine.He obviously didn't open his eyes, but there was a sharp feeling vaguely.It was as if two invisible sword qi shot out from his tightly closed eyes.

"I can't understand it." Liu Jianyi said, "This clay figurine is too vague, so the master must have no direction."

"Hmm..." Yan Zhongli stared at the clay figurine for a long time, then turned his head to look at Liu Jianyi, and said, "It seems that both you and my master and apprentice have entered the same bottleneck."

Liu Jianyi didn't say anything, which was considered a tacit consent.He has closed his eyes for 50 years, and he has gained a lot in the early stage, but the more he goes, the more blurred he feels.Obviously, I have already embarked on that road, but as I walked, I felt that the road ahead was long, as if it would never end.If he hadn't been determined, he would have to open his eyes to see if he had gone the wrong way.

What Yan Zhongli said was right, both of them were stuck in the same kind of bottleneck.Uncertainty about the future made it impossible for the two of them to achieve greater breakthroughs in their sword intent.

Dao is a very vague concept.What is right, no one can tell.

Cultivation in this era is still at the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones. There is no previous experience to learn from, so they can only think on their own.When it will break through, no one knows.

In addition to Jingsihe and Jianxiu, there was also news from the craftsman.

Yan Guangji, as Huo Lianggong's disciple, has a high level of cultivation and refining. Even he can't see the mystery of the treasure, which naturally attracts more people's interest.Regardless of whether you can see it or not in the end, at least you can increase your knowledge.

When this news reached Huo Lianggong's ears, Guodu Refining Tool No. 1 did not completely ignore it.Especially when he heard that Baoguang magnet was combined with other materials, he directly put down the materials he was refining and inquired about the details.

"Can't even recognize the words of Zhu Le? It's interesting." Huo Lianggong pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Make arrangements, I will go there in person tomorrow."

Zhu Leyu is an old friend he has known for decades. In terms of material cognition, Huo Lianggong dare not say that he is much better than him.I can't even recognize the Zhu Le language, which shows that there is indeed something worth exploring in this thing.

"Is this... probably inappropriate?" The craftsman who came to report the news said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Huo Lianggong asked.

"What kind of status are you, how can you compete with a little girl. It can be seen that people will say that you are bullying the small. If you look..." The man stopped talking in the middle of the sentence. questioned and insulted.
