Ye Xu worked as a blacksmith in Canyang Village, crushing the ore every day, then melting it in the fire to extract the metal, and then fusing different metals according to the proportions provided by Lao Li, etc. After it was completely fused and cooled, he started his blacksmithing career and made various farm tools.
Ye Xu was shirtless, with a leather apron hanging on his chest. He held the iron block with pliers in one hand and a hammer in the other, beating the iron block constantly. The red fire reflected Ye Xu's blackened skin, bean-colored. Big beads of sweat flowed down his body.
Yunwa sat on a small chair not far away, gesturing with a knife that Ye Xu made for him. This child played with Ye Xu in the blacksmith furnace every day, and the little guy never got bored.
Lao Li is not at the blacksmith's furnace, so it would be nice if the old man shows up one day. He and Lao Liu and others appear and disappear every day.
"Xiaoxu, Yunwa is ready to eat!" Xiaoyu walked to the blacksmith shop carrying a basket.
"Mom, what's delicious to eat today?" Yun Wa immediately ran over. Ye Xu used pliers to throw the unformed iron block into the stove and went to wash it.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you don't need to worry about me. You are busy with the crops and you still cook for us. You are too busy." Ye Xu finished work late today, but he didn't expect that Xiaoyu had already prepared the meal.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. You guys can eat quickly!" Xiaoyu took out the food in the basket.
Ye Xu and Yun Wa began to eat like a storm. Ye Xu now works hard every day and eats a lot, and his physique has become stronger.
"Slow down!" Xiaoyu looked at the two of them eating and smiled, feeling very pleased.
Soon after the two of them finished eating, Xiaoyu put the things into the basket, then told the two of them to rest for a while and left.
Ye Xu has been blacksmithing for two months. The charcoal he got before is almost used up, the ore is basically used up, and he has a lot of farm tools.
Different metal alloys made from graphite and cuprite in different proportions, some are very hard, some are extremely tough, and some are very sharp.
The copper coffin has absorbed a lot of these metals, and has begun to improve Ye Xu's artifact Shenxiao. Now Shenxiao is beginning to regain its power.
Ye Xu discovered that these metals were very powerful, and the weapons in his sea of consciousness were greatly improved, especially since Shenxiao had reached the rule requirements of the Jiehe world, and had become sharper and more powerful.
After Ye Xu saw the effect of these metals, he started the work of refining metals. He wanted to reserve more so that the copper coffin could absorb enough metals.
Midsummer has arrived, and Ye Xu is now more efficient. His physique has become perfect through constant forging and tempering. He can easily control the spiritual energy in his body. Now his strength has been accumulated to the extreme, and he can control it at any time. They can all break through to the state of trance.
Lao Li now visits Ye Xu every day and is very satisfied with Ye Xu's condition. He doesn't say anything when he sees that Ye Xu has started cutting down trees to burn paper and charcoal, and has also started digging ores and smelting metal.
"Boy, what are you doing with so much half-finished metal?" Another month later, Lao Li asked Ye Xu, looking at Ye Xu who was working feverishly in the blacksmith's furnace.
"Uncle Li, I want to save some metal. When I go back, I will make some weapons." Ye Xu expressed his thoughts.
"Hey, boy, these are just ordinary low-grade metals. What's the use of them? Since you want some good metals, I will take you to find some good ores today." Lao Li was very fond of Ye Xu. satisfy.
"Really?" Ye Xu was immediately happy when he heard it. Of course he needed good metal ore.
"Let's go, hold this little guy and follow me." Lao Li said with his hands behind his back.
Ye Xu was about to pick up the basket on his back. He had always used primitive methods to transport ore before, and had no consciousness of loading ore at all. He felt that being transported by ore was training for him.
"Stop carrying stuff on your back. Come with me as much as you can get!" Lao Li took the backpack and threw it on the ground.
Ye Xu was overjoyed. It seemed that he was now allowed to use the sea of consciousness to load things. He quickly picked up Yunwa and followed him.
Although Lao Li had white hair and a bit of a hunched back, he was very fast. Ye Xu almost started running with Yunwa in his arms before he could barely keep up with Lao Li.
"You are too slow. In that case, I will teach you the Kongming Shenfa today. You will be fine." Lao Li demonstrated to Ye Xu as he walked.
The Kongming Shenfa is the body method of the Kongming Army. It is used to dodge and march at a very fast speed.
Ye Xu quickly memorized the movement formula, followed Lao Li's demonstration, and began to use the Kongming movement method to rush on.
After a while, Yunwa learned it all. The little guy ran on the ground for a while. It was really fast, but soon Yunwa stopped running. Kong Ming's body skills are powerful, but they need the support of spiritual energy. Ye Xu Now there is enough physical energy and spiritual energy, and the consumed spiritual energy can be quickly replenished, barely able to supply. Yunwa is very smart, but he is too young, and the spiritual energy cannot keep up with the supply.
"Oh, I forgot about this little guy. He actually learned it today. From now on, you have to keep an eye on this kid and don't let him run around." Only then did Lao Li remember that Yunwa had also followed him and learned the Kong Ming Shen Technique.
"Yunwa probably won't run around!" Ye Xu was very reassured about Yunwa. Yunwa has been following him and won't run around at all.
"Of course it's okay if you're here. If you leave, this kid won't rebel!" Lao Li said with a smile.
"Ah? That's right, Yun Wa, you may not make Sister Xiaoyu anxious in the future, otherwise, I will spank you if I find out." Ye Xu said to Yun Wa.
"Well, I won't run around!" Yun Wa's little eyes rolled around, obviously she didn't have any good ideas. This kid is very smart.
Lao Li quickly led Ye Xu out for several hundred miles, already leaving the confines of Canyang Village. They headed straight for a high mountain, which was very high.
Looking at the mountains getting closer and closer, Ye Xu was very puzzled. Logically speaking, such a high mountain should be clearly visible in Canyang Village, but when he was in Canyang Village, he didn't notice that there were mountains here.
"There are formations around the village, so you can't see this mountain." Lao Li said while looking at the towering mountain in front of him.
"Yes, this mountain is too high!" Ye Xu said, looking at the mountain in front of him.
"This used to be a pass, but now it's abandoned. Come on, follow me up the mountain!" Lao Li walked directly towards the mountain.
Lao Li led Ye Xu to climb the mountain, and soon came to a flat place. They did not climb any higher.
"That's it! You can dig here!" Lao Li said, pointing to the mountain wall.
Ye Xu put Yunwa down, took out the pickaxe, and began to dig into the mountain wall. The pickaxe was very powerful. The hard stone wall was like tofu in front of the pickaxe. As soon as the pickaxe went down, a stone fell down. Among these stones were Many bright spots, those are metal crystals, which can refine metals.
"This is the Ziyun Iron Ore. Ziyun Iron is a good metal and a good thing for refining magic weapons. This mountain used to be the Ziyun Iron Ore of the Kong Ming Army." Old Li pointed at the crystals and said.
Ye Xu was very fast. In a short time, a big hole was dug out of the mountain wall. Ye Xu took all the ores into the sea of consciousness.
The wind blew across the towering mountains, and the wind was filled with tinkling sounds that echoed throughout the mountain.
With a click, a fist-sized stone with blue light was chiseled from the stone wall.
"Uncle Li, what is this stone?" Ye Xu quickly picked it up and asked at the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, you're lucky. This is fine gold mine. It's a good thing. When refining magic weapons and weapons, adding a little bit can improve the level of the magic weapons and weapons. You're lucky, kid. Go ahead and see if you can dig out more fine gold. Gold mine." Old Li looked happy.
Ye Xu didn't expect that there would be something good, so he became more motivated. It was like digging for treasure. As long as a treasure appeared, he was so motivated that he would always think about the treasure appearing again with the next hoe.
Ye Xu picked up the pickaxe and dug a hole quickly like a mole.
"Uncle Li, come and have a look!" Ye Xu shouted in the cave. He felt something was wrong. Why was the stone dug so loose? There was also a special smell. Ye Xu was wondering if he had dug gas. .
"You have so many things going on, why are you calling me?" Lao Li brought Yun Wan in. Now Ye Xu dug very deep, and it was pitch dark inside. Lao Li took Yun Wan to play at the entrance of the cave.
"Huh? This smell! Boy, hold Yun baby and get out quickly." When Lao Li came in and took a look, he immediately felt something was wrong and immediately ordered Ye Xu.
Ye Xu was very obedient, hugged Yunwa and walked out.
"Yes, this boy's opportunity is indeed good. He will get whatever he needs." Lao Li said, staring at the cave wall.
Lao Li saw that Ye Xu had come out of the cave. He raised his hand and stretched out a finger to point at the end of the cave. A huge energy shot out from his finger and penetrated directly through the cave. A huge space appeared.
The hole Ye Xu dug was three meters high from top to bottom. The space was very huge, as big as a large open-air stadium. A fishy smell immediately spread along the cave.
"Damn, why is it so fishy?" Ye Xu was almost vomited by the fishy smell at the entrance of the cave. Yun Wa vomited directly. Ye Xu hurriedly hugged Yun Wa and ran down.
Ye Xu was not stupid, he knew that he must have dug into the beast's home.
Lao Li had nothing to do. He looked at the huge space with a smile, then turned around and walked out.
When Lao Li walked out of the cave, he saw Ye Xu running to the foot of the mountain holding Yunwa, with black lines appearing on his face.
"This kid runs so fast!" Lao Li curled his lips, but he thought Ye Xu was pretty good, not stupid, and knew it was going to happen, so he was very wise.
Lao Li continued to move forward. He immediately took off and stood outside looking at the cave.
There was a scream, and a huge white scale snake with solid scales all over its body and a single horn on its head appeared.
This snake is more than one meter in diameter and dozens of meters long. The scaly snake has its mouth wide open, and the huge snake is swallowing and swallowing. A pair of huge snake teeth are exposed on the upper jaw.
The vertical-pupil snake eyes without eyelids look emotionless. The snake's lower body is coiled up and its body is upright, staring at Lao Li in the sky.
"Yes, the white scaly snake must have been around for thousands of years, but it has not become a demon. Today it is you." Old Li was very satisfied with this scaly snake.
"Wow, what a big worm, brother, what a big worm!" Yunwa pointed at the big snake and shouted excitedly.
The scaly snake also heard Yun Wa's shout. It turned to look at Ye Xu and Yun Wa below, and then stared at Old Li with its head. The scaly snake felt the danger from Old Li, and opened its mouth and screamed. , logically speaking, snakes cannot make any noise, but this snake has evolved many functions after it has lived to a certain age.
The scaly snake stretched its body, and was about to launch an attack. It suddenly shot out and went straight to Lao Li in the air. It wanted to entangle Lao Li, but it was only half successful once it got entangled.
Lao Li chuckled, dodged, and directly avoided the volley of the scale snake. The scale snake's body did not fall, but flew directly into the air, and the snake's tail rolled directly towards Lao Li.
"Little guy, accept your fate!"
