After hearing Tang Zhao's emotionally charged words, Xue Xianyun showed no emotion at all. Instead, he was startled and asked, "Disciple, are you stupid?"
Tang Zhao said solemnly: "Thanks to Master's concern, my disciple is doing well."
Who among us looks more stupid?
"We have all the materials, how can we make a damn sword?"
"You don't have it here, but I still have it here."
Xue Xianyun was startled and said: "How can you...ah, that's right!"
He remembered that every time he collected suitable materials, he would share some with this young apprentice. Speaking of which, although this apprentice came late, he liked him for his talent and pure conduct, and he was really good at it. Even his daughter wouldn't want some of the materials she saw, so Tang Zhao dared to do so. Those disciples didn't know that Xue Xianyun was very generous. If they were really shameless and asked for it, they could get it.
Although Xue Xianyun is quick-tempered, venomous, and has a bad temper, he is a good master. He never hides anything, and his family has a big business and a rich collection. As for the direct disciples around him, as long as they ask for any materials, they will basically be satisfied. It's just that they were intimidated by Master's serious appearance, and they were always cautious when asking questions. How could they dare to ask for something?
"Could it be that you kept all the materials I gave you before? Those materials that can still be used to make a sword?"
Tang Zhao denied it: "No, I have used all the materials for practice."
Just kidding, he threw those original materials into the pool, where can he find them?
"But I have been studying your sword-making formula before, and I think it is particularly suitable for practicing, so I have been collecting similar materials. Over the years, especially in this Sword State, I have gained a lot along the way. Now I have a well-matched pair in my hand The materials are also enough to make a sword. The materials are from the same source as the ones you prepared, and the quality is not inferior to the materials you prepared before."
It would be humiliating to say otherwise. In fact, all the materials fished out from the pool are at least one level better than the original materials, otherwise it would not have consumed so much of his magic weapon energy to replace them.
Anyway, the material is already available. As for the origin... I found it on the way to Jianzhou. Can Senior Brother Jiang still be able to expose him?
Xue Xianyun gradually became excited after hearing this, and then asked: "Is there only one sword material?"
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he prepared more than ten copies of each material for himself, which was enough to make the sword ten times, ensuring that he would have a guarantee even if he failed.
If it is just a piece of material, it means that it must succeed once and never fail.
Xue Xianyun is an arrogant person at heart. He prepared many materials, but he didn't think he really needed them. He has already set a goal for himself to succeed once and for all. If he cannot succeed at once, he has failed. Those backup materials should never be activated. But if all the spare materials were really removed without any guarantee, forcing him to make a desperate move, he would inevitably hesitate.
Tang Zhao said: "Exactly, there is only one pair. What's wrong with one pair? With your unwavering ambition, your accumulated strength, and your courage to move forward, isn't one pair the same as a hundred pairs?"
Because Tang Zhao's praise was too straightforward, Xue Xianyun was stunned for a moment and said, "You are confident."
Tang Zhao said without hesitation: "I am not the only one who has confidence. You look outside, your most cherished biological daughter, the little disciple you personally picked up the mountain, the direct disciples you raised one by one, and the top and bottom of Zhuoyu Villa. The students who are your idol, they trust you as much as I do, they don’t speak, they are waiting for you to come to them with a sword and lead them to the wider world. They have never doubted this."
Seeing Xue Xianyun's entranced expression, Tang Zhao continued: "Of course, there are also people who don't trust you. For example, those people you have offended, those defeated generals, pigs, sheep, etc. They are waiting to see your jokes. You don’t think that no one knows what’s going on in the mountains except us, do you? As the saying goes, good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. Sooner or later, they will know. They will be waiting to see you fall into despair and be broken. In this way, although they have never really defeated you , but it seems like you have already lost. Can you let them get what they want?"
Xue Xianyun blushed upon hearing this and stood up from the stone without realizing it.
Tang Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, but he kept up his efforts and said: "I would say that although this time is unfortunate, there is also a blessing in it, which is that it pushed you to make up your mind to forge a sword. Your strength has been there for a long time, why have you been wasting until today? You just want to be fully prepared. Because one piece of material is not enough, you have to prepare ten. If you are not satisfied with smooth sailing, you need the cooperation of heaven and earth. But there is nothing in this world that is foolproof? Asking for perfection will only make you delay again and again. Today, a big responsibility will be handed down to this person, You must first suffer your mind, starve your body, and deplete your body. God gives you a push, telling you not to think too much, get rid of distracting thoughts, and concentrate on forging the sword. The opportunity is in front of you, break this catastrophe of transforming into a dragon, and naturally reach the sky! "
"The Sword Comes"
Xue Xianyun suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Well said, Azhao! This man who has read books is really nice to talk to! But except for me to forge swords, will you be idle?"
Tang Zhao took matters into his own hands and said, "Of course I want to help you. This has been promised a long time ago."
Xue Xianyun pulled him up and said, "Okay, then come and help me. Let's forge swords together."
Although Tang Zhao talked so much after the first sentence, his goal was definitely achieved.
A few words to make Master happy!
The gloom in Zhuoyu Villa dissipated slightly, and then the atmosphere became tense and heated.
Because Master Xue of Zhuoyu Villa suddenly announced: "Immediately go into seclusion and forge swords."
The various "Jade" disciples who were troubled by various rumors were suddenly shocked. They were stunned at first, and then boiled. Compared with obscure rumors, sword-making is a major event that concerns everyone.
Although only the village owner and a few True Jade disciples can participate in sword-making, once the sword is successfully forged, Zhuoyu Villa will change from the power of Talisman Sword Masters to the power of sword-smiths, and the disciples' worth will increase by more than ten times? Even those Qingyu disciples who came from well-known families and were sent here to "enjoy life" were also excited. Then everyone was mobilized.
For ordinary disciples, they are not so much preparing for sword-making as they are preparing for the sword-making conference for successful sword-making. The task of making swords is not their turn, but once the sword is made successfully, it will be the first public swordsmith force in Yunzhou. It is bound to invite talents from all walks of life in Yunzhou and even colleagues and VIPs from other places to gather at the grand event to witness the swordsmiths. The birth of. Perhaps there were more distinguished guests than Zhuoyu Villa disciples, and their status was beyond most people's imagination.
Preparations for such a grand event must start from now - Xue Xianyun will be in retreat soon. Whether he succeeds or fails, it will only take a few months to tell. The sword-making conference is full of intricate details and there are perfect strategies. It is equivalent to a small talisman meeting. With Long Yuan's strength, he still made many mistakes when organizing a talisman meeting. How could Zhuoyu Villa be so careless? It's never too early to start preparing now.
The young disciples were busy and excited, but the arrangements made by Zhenyu disciples were very troublesome.
First of all, the sword-making conference definitely needs someone to preside over it. This person in charge is both important and tiring, and will also suffer losses. Because this is just a chore. If the conference is well organized, you will only get a few words of praise. If it is not well organized, you will take the blame. The most important thing is that you will miss the opportunity to practice assisting in sword making.
In addition to Xue Xianyun's designated assistant Tang Zhao, other disciples can also serve as assistants. Even if they are unable to get started, just observing the process of making a sword will be of great benefit to the future. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If Shi Chunqing was here, this would almost certainly be his job. This was so natural that the young disciples wouldn't even notice what he had lost. Once the eldest brother is away, this errand will become difficult to put there.
"In that case..."
"Let me do it!"
Several people said in unison.
Tang Zhao was a little surprised. Apart from him, the other four, five, six, seven or eight other senior brothers and sisters all spoke.
Xue Yeyu said in astonishment: "Of course it's me who does this. Not to mention dad, I'm your senior sister and you are my younger brothers and sisters. In that order, it's me. Who else should I do this?"
Jiang Shenyi argued: "Of course it's me. I've said long ago that I don't want to be a swordsmith, and I don't care about observing sword making. Instead of waiting, it's better to come here and hold a sword-making conference. I have experience in holding conferences, and I saw Jianzhou with my own eyes. Fuhui... failed, so it will definitely succeed."
Qin Haizhou said: "You want to take charge, young disciple, will you listen to me? You don't understand the transfer of subordinates. You are too young, let the brothers do it. I have people under me, so it is convenient for me to do things."
Deng Chong then said: "That's exactly what I said. I have more people under my command, and I am broad-minded and appoint people based on their talents. I will never use public services for personal gain, and only use private people."
Qin Haizhou was furious and said: "Who are you talking about pretending to be a public servant for personal gain? I'm afraid you are harming the public and enriching your own private life. You are taking advantage of your sword-making skills to make small calculations..."
Deng Chong laughed and said: "With my family background, can I value these three melons and two dates? Only those who are used to poverty can..."
Seeing the two people quarreling every day, Xue Yeyu's face darkened and said: "Shut up. Just the two of you, are you going to hold a shitty talisman party and embarrass our villa?"
Fu Qinghuan had always had a calm look on his face, saying nothing if it had nothing to do with him. Now he said calmly: "So leave it to me. My abilities are mediocre, but at least I won't make mistakes."
At this time, Qin Haizhou and Deng Chong looked at each other. Although they were both angry, they still said in unison: "Let's be together."
Xue Yeyu raised his eyebrows and said, "You two? Cooperate?"
Deng Chong and Qin Haizhou nodded. Although their expressions were not very good, they nodded solemnly.
"Actually, we have negotiated..." Deng Chong said the word "discuss" and felt a little disgusted, but he still said every word, "We know that the two junior brothers avenged the humiliation of Fu Hui before. We As seniors, we have to rely on our younger brothers to avenge us, this is all because we are incapable."
Qin Haizhou continued: "Yes. The two of us can't do things that we have the ability to do. If we can't do more for our brothers and sisters that we have no ability, then do we still deserve to stay at Zhuoyu Villa? It's time for us to take our turn. It’s our turn.”
Deng Chong hummed and said: "Yes, we finally decided to cooperate with each other while pinching our noses. If Senior Sister doesn't do it, we will miss an opportunity to be released... Do you want to see us fight endlessly?" "
Tang Zhao suddenly thought that if Xue Xianyun could have seen this scene earlier, he would have been able to cheer up even without a long speech.
Xue Yeyu looked at Deng Chong, then at Qin Haizhou, and smiled again after a few days, and said, "Okay, how can I not accomplish such a beautiful thing? I will leave the heavy responsibility to you two."
