Today’s second update: Chapter 344!
I'm convinced. I really don't want to give it away. I give it randomly when I ask for it. I spent 300 votes in one day, which means I have to update three chapters. It's okay. I do what I say. This is the second update today. There are still more chapters today. Two updates, the remaining chapter will be added tomorrow, you continue, I will see how many more updates you can let me add!
…
"Please!" The young man closed his folding fan and waved his sleeves to signal Xu Kun to enter!
Xu Kun's expression did not change. Qian Manlou originally told him that he could meet the master craftsman Ou Yezi when he arrived at the Holy Land of Sword Pool. Apparently Qian Manlou miscalculated!
I encountered very unfriendly treatment!
However, although the situation has changed, since Jianchi Holy Land has rules for foreign visitors, then just do as the Romans do and act according to his rules!
Ou Yezi, I'm determined to meet you today!
I followed the young man up the stairs, and after wandering around in the mountains for a long time, the young man stopped!
During this period, Xu Kun sent a message to Yang Yao, telling him that he might have to delay some time!
"Let's stop here. Whether you can see your master and ancestor next depends on your own destiny!"
"The master has set up rules to prevent outsiders from entering the Sword Pond Holy Land!"
"Which three are not included?" Xu Kun asked curiously.
"First of all, don't let in unless you are your elders, old friends, or disciples!"
In other words, people who have friendship with Ganjiang Shenjiang can enter and leave the Sword Pool Holy Land at will!
As I said before, the status of divine craftsmen is seen throughout the entire human race, and at least those at the emperor level or above are required to match it. And this is only for those entry-level divine craftsmen, and like Ou Yezi, the number one god in the human race. Craftsman, even a saint-level powerhouse must hold the junior ceremony in front of him!
However, the Holy Land of Jianchi is the dojo of his son-in-law, the master craftsman, and without any friendship, the saint-level expert can still be regarded as an elder!
"The second thing you won't get in is if you invite me!"
"You said that you have something to ask for to see my ancestor, but my ancestor and master didn't say that anyone would visit today, so you are one of the second most unlucky ones!"
Those who are not old friends but are invited by the divine craftsmen naturally refer to those who, after reaching a deal with the divine craftsmen, go to the Holy Land of Sword Pond to ask the master craftsmen to forge equipment for them!
This kind of person who asks for something and has the permission of the master of the sword pool will ask his disciples to guide him. In this way, Xu Kun is indeed not qualified to enter!
"And this third exclusion is a rule set for people like you. Non-casting wizards are not allowed to enter!"
After the young man finished speaking, he waved his folding fan again and said: "These three inadmissibility are also the three major requirements for entering the mountain gate of my Sword Pond Holy Land!"
"You don't meet the first two requirements, and I don't care what your intentions are. If you want to get in, it's fine. Then prove your casting talent!"
"Those who can pass the mountain gate assessment will be allowed to enter. Of course, if you perform well, you may even be lucky enough to attend my master's sermon. As for whether you want to see the master, that is not my decision!"
Xu Kun nodded: "How to prove it?"
"I don't have the final say. You just need to move forward. Everyone and everything you encounter will be the test you will accept next!"
After the young man finished speaking, before Xu Kun could ask any questions, his body slowly disappeared on the spot. In less than three seconds, the energy machine disappeared without a trace!
Xu Kun's eyes narrowed and he began to look at the surrounding environment that looked like ordinary mountains!
The Shenjiang Dojo is indeed extraordinary. All kinds of strange formations are set up around it without being able to detect it!
The next moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I did not misunderstand Brother Qian, but Senior Ou Yezi did it deliberately!"
…
Deep in the Sword Pool Holy Land, the young man who had just disappeared in front of Xu Kun appeared, his face full of helplessness.
He raised his eyes and looked at the two people surrounding a casting furnace, then cupped his hands and said, "Master, Master, I have been taken to the assessment location!"
The middle-aged man among the two turned his head and smiled: "Lei Huan, you did a good job!"
(Lei Huan, according to records, was the man who dug up the earth and found capable generals and Moxie~)
The young man Lei Huan received the praise, but he was not at all happy. He said with a bitter face: "Master, can you please stop letting me do such offending work next time?"
The middle-aged burly man's smile never diminished: "I see that you have been performing very well just now, and you are like a second-generation ancestor with an eye above his head. It seems that your master is right to send you to pick him up!"
"But that's Kun... the master intends to accept him as a closed disciple. He may be my uncle in the future. I will offend him now, and he won't be able to wear small shoes for me in the future?"
"Don't worry, the person your master likes is not so narrow-minded!"
"Then can we discuss it and send my junior brother to do this kind of job next time?" After Lei Huan finished speaking, he carefully looked at his master's face!
"Your junior brother..." Hearing this, Ganjiang shook his head slightly: "I am spoiled by your junior wife, so I just want to take this opportunity to beat you!"
"Come on, let's see how your future junior uncle performs this time!" Gan Jiang invited.
Lei Huan nodded and hurriedly walked up the steps. He first saluted the old man sitting on the floor, then sat behind the general and looked at the fire.
The picture reflected on the fire at this moment is Xu Kun who entered the mountain alone!
…
After Xu Kun waited for Lei Huan to leave, he didn't walk long on the mountain road when a mirror suddenly appeared in the void blocking his way!
On the mirror, rays of light shone and enveloped his whole body. Before Xu Kun could react, the rays of light gathered in the air and condensed into several large characters.
Level: Level 10, first level assessment: forged iron!
In front of Xu Kun, a casting platform burning with blazing fire appeared. All tools were available, and a piece of pig iron was burning hot in the fire!
The mirror floating in the air continued to reflect several large characters: Forging refined iron with a purity of more than 90%!
Hearing this, Xu Kun smiled slightly, stepped forward, and used a clip to take out the pig iron that had been heated to red.
After placing it on the casting table, he picked up the ordinary casting hammer on the side and struck it without any hesitation!
…
Deep in the Holy Land, in front of the fire scene, Lei Huan looked at the assessment content and was slightly lost in thought, wondering: "Master, when did the assessment requirements of my Sword Pond Holy Land become so difficult? He is only Level 10, Level 1!"
The general said indifferently: "Is it difficult?"
Lei Huan said unconvinced: "Of course it is difficult. If he is a warrior-level, 90% purity is reasonable, but he is only level 10 and level 1. Even if he has learned the casting technique, he does not have time to delve into it. 90% purity Fine iron is simply whimsical!”
"Then keep reading. The content of this assessment was set by your master!"
After hearing what Gan Jiang said, Lei Huan carefully glanced at Ou Yezi, who was still there, and was speechless!
The assessment at the Sword Pool Holy Land is not just for Xu Kun. In fact, many people enter the Sword Pool Holy Land every year to participate in the mountain gate assessment!
The reason is to be able to join the general and become his disciple!
However, just like Lei Huan, those who can generally achieve a small success in casting must at least be at the warrior level. Below the warrior level, it is difficult to forge qualified materials. After all, The reason is insufficient strength and insufficient learning time in forging!
Lei Huan still remembers that after he reached the warrior level, he was self-taught and mastered the E-level blacksmithing technique before he tried to enter the Sword Pool Holy Land to participate in the assessment!
As for his level, the lower limit of difficulty set for this first level is to forge refined iron with a purity of over 85%!
Of course, this is only the lower limit, including the subsequent assessments. If you pass the passing test, you can enter the Sword Pool Holy Land, but you will not be able to become a disciple of Gan Jiang. Explain and watch the casting of Gan Jiang and his disciples in person!
However, this still attracts many forgers. After all, being able to watch the casting of a master craftsman and his disciples is also a great benefit. After such people leave the Sword Pond Holy Land, they will also call themselves the registered disciples of the master craftsman. In the future, as long as you study hard and specialize, you can become a qualified caster!
Lei Huan was able to become Gan Jiang's disciple. In the first step, he forged fine iron with a purity of 93%!
But after all, the level difference is there. Although Lei Huan knows Xu Kun's identity, he is still skeptical about whether he can forge refined iron with a purity of more than 90%!
"It seems that Master has really thought about recruiting disciples this time, otherwise he wouldn't have set such a high level of difficulty. I don't know if there will be any changes in the next few levels!"
Compared with the disciples who became go-getters, Ouyezi's status as the number one master craftsman of the human race was there. How many people wanted to become his disciples, even if they just wanted to observe his casting skills, but they couldn't do it!
There is a saying in the casting world that the disciples accepted by the master craftsman Ou Yezi will definitely become master craftsmen!
What a tempting word this is. Even Lei Huan, who has now become the proud disciple of Gan Jiang, still respects his master. If he can get his guidance, his casting skills will surely improve by leaps and bounds!
It's a pity that Ou Yezi, the master craftsman, has stopped accepting apprentices for a long time. Even the countless juniors who claim to be talented in forging have no place to become apprentices!
In this way, Kun, who allowed Master to specifically change the difficulty of the assessment, really made Master fall in love with talents!
After all, only geniuses are qualified to challenge high difficulties!
…
After seeing the assessment requirements, Xu Kun felt calm, picked up the casting hammer, and started hammering the pig iron in front of him seriously according to the force technique Wang Mengmeng taught him!
The pig iron that was burnt red kept rolling under his casting hammer, sparks flying everywhere!
With every hammer blow, you can clearly see the pig iron deforming!
And if you observe carefully, you will find that each of Xu Kun's hammers is not only the same force, but also the angles are evenly distributed. If this is applied to an ordinary person, it is impossible to achieve this step even after several years of immersion!
when!
The last hammer fell, and the red pig iron had changed color. Xu Kun picked it up with a clamp and quenched it in the water tank on the side!
Sizzle!
Waves of water mist floated on the water, and the quenched fine iron was pinched out by Xu Kun. Under the sunlight shining through the woods, the entire piece of fine iron was integrated into one piece, as if it had transcended its original grade!
…
In front of the fire, Lei Huan was still waiting for Xu Kun's forging result. The old man who had never spoken suddenly smiled: "Very good, it is indeed an excellent seedling!"
Lei Huan's pupils shook violently!
The old man's calm words made him feel like he was struck by lightning!
He still remembers that when his master cast a medium-grade artifact in front of his old man, and asked him to taste it, he only got a reply of "it's okay"!
But just these three words made me, the famous master craftsman of the human race, happy for three days!
Lei Huan asked curiously afterwards, and Ganjiang told him that his master rarely praised people in his life. As the chief disciple, the best compliment he received was when he and Mo Xie worked together to create the artifact Ganjiang, After Mo Xie, Ou Yezi nodded with a smile and said: Not bad!
This shows how difficult it is to get Ou Yezi's verbal praise!
And now... He is just a junior, forging a piece of the lowest grade of pig iron, so that his elders can laugh and praise him at the same time?
Is there really any essential difference between people?
Lei Huan didn't believe it. No matter how hard he forged a piece of pig iron, could it still be forged into a flower?
…
The mirror responsible for the first-level assessment turned to the fine iron held by Xu Kun with a clip, and the answer was quickly given!
100% pure refined iron, passed the assessment!
bass!
Lei Huan couldn't help but stood up and looked at the calm Xu Kun in the fire scene with burning eyes!
100% pure iron?
This is legendary purity!
It can be said that few people have done it!
This naturally does not mean that no one can achieve this level!
But pig iron is the lowest level and the most common metal used to make E-level and F-level equipment. Only beginners in the art of casting will often forge this metal!
Once you master more advanced casting techniques, it is naturally impossible to go back to forging such worthless metal!
This has resulted in a convention that when it is necessary to cast pig iron, basically no one can achieve 100% purity, and when it is possible to forge pig iron to 100% purity, no one will forge it!
This makes 100% pure refined iron a legend in the casting industry!
This is a legendary item that only those who are extremely talented in the art of casting should possess!
It would be reasonable for a warrior-level to forge 100% pure iron, but for a rookie caster like Xu Kun, who is level 10 and level 1 and has only learned casting skills for a short time, it is simply a fantasy!
Lei Huanke still remembers that when he still needed to forge pig iron, his best result was 98% purity!
A slight difference makes a huge difference, a mere 2% difference in purity, the future achievements of the two will be very different, let alone one who is already at the warrior level, and the other who has just entered the tenth level!
Some people's best score is 98 points, while some people get 100 points because the best score is only 100 points!
