Su Qingchun has lived in the Zhao Manor for a long time.
Most of the time, he reads in Zhao Yuansi's study.
Zhao Yuansi has a rich collection of books. If Su Qingchun wants to read them all, it cannot be done in a few months.
Because it's not just about seeing, it's also about understanding and feeling.
Whenever Zhao Yuansi has time, he will come over and chat with Su Qingchun for hours. During this period, Zhao Yuansi also showed his best calligraphy to Su Qingchun.
"I Immortal Dust Sect said all the words on the plaque on the gate of the mountain were written by me!" Zhao Yuansi said proudly.
"It's amazing, I admire it." Su Qingchun praised him politely, but it was somewhat perfunctory.
It's not that he thinks Zhao Yuansi's calligraphy is not good, but compared to Zhao Yuansi's poetry level in his mind, this calligraphy level is not worth mentioning.
Su Qingchun also often brings the topic to poetry. I hope to chat with Zhao Yuansi about poetry and get some pointers on poetry.
But Zhao Yuansi deliberately avoided it every time and led the topic to other aspects.
Zhao Yuansi also knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and does not want to expose his own shortcomings in poetry, lest he be looked down upon by Su Qingchun.
After this back and forth, Su Qingchun also felt that something was wrong.
In particular, one time he casually recited a poem he had written, and as a result, he saw what "changing faces" means.
Zhao Yuansi was polite one second, but the next second his whole face turned into a look of jealousy.
This frightened Su Qingchun, and from then on he finally dared not mention poetry in front of Zhao Yuansi.
Until this day, Su Qingchun finished reading a great Confucian manuscript, put it back on the bookshelf, and prepared to pick a new book to read.
He browsed all the large and small bookshelves in the study. When he was struggling, he accidentally discovered a hidden compartment behind a bookshelf.
He found a book from the secret compartment, took it out and took a look. On the cover was his familiar handwriting, which read "Yuansi Poetry Collection".
"Mr. Zhao's poetry collection?"
Su Qingchun was full of expectations and couldn't wait to open the poetry collection in his hand.
He also fantasized about being able to find the entire "Moonlight Night on the Spring River", the bottom line of "Linjiang Fairy", and the full text of many fragments of poems written by Li Xiuchang to him.
But after opening it and taking just one glance, he couldn't help but frown.
He couldn't control the expression of disgust on his face.
It was as if the teacher had corrected the homework of the last student in the class.
The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but stamp his feet in embarrassment. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and quickly collected the poems.
"Is this also called poetry?"
"A person can't write like this!"
All of a sudden, Zhao Yuansi's "great poet" filter in Su Qingchun's eyes was shattered!
Originally, he had great respect for Zhao Yuansi and had always been a disciple.
In his eyes, Zhao Yuansi is Cultivation Level, a profound monk who has lived for hundreds of years and has rich experiences, so he can change his style and control different styles of poetry.
But now it seems that he is overthinking.
Those poems were not written by Zhao Yuansi at all.
When he was chatting with Zhao Yuansi before, he also asked Zhao Yuansi and learned that Zhao Yuansi was Immortal Dust Sect's only Confucian culture lover.
If Zhao Yuansi didn't write these poems, who else could?
Could it be... that it's really Li Xiuchang?
Su Qingchun's reason told him that this was impossible, Li Xiuchang was too young.
But he also thought that Li Xiuchang had told him not to mention those poems of unknown origin in front of Zhao Yuansi.
Why?
Su Qingchun The jealous face of Zhao Yuansi appeared in his mind, and he suddenly had the answer in his mind.
"Elder Zhao is jealous. If those poems were really written by Mr. Li Dao... and were known by Elder Zhao, how jealous would he be? Maybe he would be expelled from the school?"
Su Qingchun feels that with this reasoning, everything can be explained.
Even unconsciously, the names of Zhao Yuansi and Li Xiuchang changed.
The title of Zhao Yuansi changed from "Mr. Zhao" to "Elder Zhao", and the title of Li Xiuchang started to be "Mr. Li".
Su Qingchun felt as if he had found the truth.
Even though the truth was a bit outrageous, it was the only way to explain it, so he tended to believe his guess.
But I'm not entirely sure, I still have some doubts.
But even so, Su Qingchun still subconsciously respects Li Xiuchang more.
A master is a teacher. If Li Xiuchang really has such high attainments in poetry, he would not mind treating Li Xiuchang as a disciple.
Su Qingchun In this life, I have only admired people who are more knowledgeable than myself.
After Li Xiuchang returned to the sect, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle Egg had actually hatched!
It only takes about a month for a normal Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle Egg to hatch, and it only needs to be buried in Spirit Soil.
Li Xiuchang This "worm egg" hatched for three months!
During this period, he also swallowed thousands of spiritual stones!
If there were not so many spiritual stones supplied, the incubation cycle would only be longer.
Li Xiuchang Divine Sense poked into the soil and found a large, fat, fleshy insect with pale golden skin, like an enlarged silkworm.
At this time, Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle is still in a larval state.
The newly hatched larvae are about the size of a baby's arm. At this time, Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle does not have any fighting ability and needs to eat to continue to develop and grow.
The larvae of Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle are divided into three instars, that is, after three growth stages, they will pupate. They will not enter the mature stage until they emerge as adults and emerge from the pupa.
Only adults have combat effectiveness. This is also the weakness of insect-like monsters, which have a long growth period.
However, if resources and nutrition keep up, the growth period can also be shortened.
The main food of the artificially raised Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle larvae is fermented sawdust. Li Xiuchang took out a large bucket filled with spiritual wood sawdust that had been prepared long ago, and transferred Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle into the sawdust bucket.
Seeing that the larvae were already eating the sawdust quickly, Li Xiuchang was relieved to put the sawdust bucket into Beast Taming Bag.
At present, this Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle larvae has no other abnormality except that it is larger than normal larvae and eats more.
But I still have to keep it with me and continue to observe.
Li Xiuchang went to visit Senior Brother Zhang. This visit had two purposes.
The first is to ask Senior Brother Zhang to help identify "Illusion Skin" and figure out its usage.
Second, Li Xiuchang wants to learn the art of weapon refining!
He was also well thought out.
Now his various skills are steadily improving, but it takes time to polish to achieve higher levels.
It wouldn't be a waste to learn one more weapon-making skill at this time.
The skill of weapon refining is very suitable for use in combination with Length Cheat, and it was originally his first choice.
It's just that he didn't want to get involved with the huge First-tier Artifact Refiner group at first, so he didn't choose to practice weapon refining skills.
Nowadays, he is no longer what he used to be. He has no shortage of spiritual stones in his pocket and is not afraid of involution.
The key is that with such an unfathomable weapon refiner like Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi beside him, Li Xiuchang feels that if he doesn't learn to refine weapons, it will be a waste of resources and teachers.
And if he doesn't learn to refine weapons in the future, he won't be able to use many materials whose origins are unclear.
For example, Buddha Heart Steel and Senior Brother Zhang know that Li Xiuchang only has one door panel left in his hands.
If one day Li Xiuchang suddenly takes out several tons of Buddha Heart Steel and asks Senior Brother Zhang to help refine the spiritual treasure, then Senior Brother Zhang will definitely become suspicious.
Therefore, it is most convenient for him to master the art of weapon refining by himself.
When Zhang Wanzhi heard that Li Xiuchang planned to learn weapon refining from him, not only did he not refuse, but he was very happy.
"Learn to refine weapons? You are good at refining weapons. I have long advised you not to learn alchemy. Your talent in alchemy is average, and I am not good at it either. I can't even teach you."
"If you had learned to refine weapons from me, you might be at the second level now!"
Zhang Wanzhi is best at refining weapons. Pill Formula is better at refining than Zhao Yuansi, but it seems to be much lower than his weapon refining level.
Li Xiuchang felt excited when he heard this. "Senior brother, when will you teach me how to make weapons?"
Zhang Wanzhi scratched the back of his head. "It suddenly occurred to me that there seems to be nothing extra to teach in the beginning of weapon refining. You can go to the Library Pavilion to receive an introduction to weapon refining and then go back and practice it.
"If you want to make weapons, you must first make iron. The beginning of making weapons is blacksmithing. When you can make common weapon shapes such as knives, guns, shields, and sticks, and become proficient in them, come back to me at that time."
Li Xiuchang nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong. It was the same when alchemy and Spirit Chef Arts first started practicing. They had to lay the foundation first.
The seemingly high-end Cultivation Techniques actually evolved step by step from ordinary skills.
When learning to make weapons, you should first strike the iron, there is nothing wrong with that.
"By the way, senior brother, can you help me find out what this is? "Li Xiuchang then took out the piece of Illusion Skin.
Zhang Wanzhi glanced at it, without even taking a second look, and said, "Phantom Viper Tribe's Illusion Skin, your piece is of good quality, it is probably at the fifth level."
"How to use this thing? I injected mana into it but nothing happened."
Zhang Wanzhi looked at Li Xiuchang strangely and said, "You are not Phantom Viper Tribe, so of course you cannot use it directly. Of course we monks have to refine it into Dharma Treasure before we can drive it."
