"Huh~"
The hammer went up and down, and fireworks filled the air. Li Yuan was immersed in blacksmithing, and his breathing rhythm changed to match the hammering technique.
The matching breathing method of the Battle Hammer is called 'Nine Shapes'. There are nine different breathing rhythms in total, corresponding to various situations.
Standing, blacksmithing, training, fighting, fighting, healing, etc., the breathing methods used are different, and the flow of energy, blood, and internal energy are also different.
"call!"
"suck!"
Li Yuan changed his breathing to avoid the heavy smoke and smoke of the forging ground. The fourth-level forging hammer rose and fell in his hand with an indescribable naturalness.
A good forging hammer is no less important to a blacksmith than a swordsman's sword. Although he has the Great Smith's Hammer, most of the time he controls it in the weapon's casket and uses just an ordinary forging hammer.
Holding this famous forging hammer at this moment, I immediately noticed the difference.
"This hammer is so handy..."
Until all the impurities in this piece of fine iron were removed, Li Yuan stopped, still unable to put it down.
This hammer perfectly fits the fighting hammer, as if it has its own breath and life, cooperating with him to strike iron.
With every blow, there is a sense of pleasure that all the strength is released without any leakage.
"Qiushui Sword doesn't give me this feeling. Is this famous weapon so good? Is it because of my talent for hammering?"
Li Yuan was playing with the hammer when he suddenly noticed that the surroundings were quiet. He looked up and saw an old man wearing a gray robe and looking unkempt, staring at him.
"Li Yuan, meet the great elder!"
Li Yuan came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to salute, not daring to neglect.
This old man is none other than the great elder of Zhubing Valley, Jing Shuhu.
More than 60 years ago, he was one of the top three true inheritors of his generation, together with Han Chuijun and Gong Yangyu. His basic talent was not as good as the first two, but he was recognized as the number one forging prodigy in the Divine Weapon Valley for hundreds of years.
More than 30 years ago, he had successively built many top-quality weapons and gained a great reputation. Even famous masters from other states came here to look for him to forge weapons.
At that time, it was considered to be the forging master who was most likely to create the magic weapon in the 600 years of the Divine Weapon Valley.
Unfortunately, I was seriously injured during an outing...
"Disciple of Han Chuijun."
Jing Shuhu had no expression on his face and looked up and down for a long time before saying:
"Why do you come to the Soldier Forging Valley?"
Li Yuan was very respectful:
"My disciple is a blacksmith, and he admires the art of forging weapons..."
Li Daoye had some experience in serving the old man, but Jing Shuhu was so unkempt and slovenly that he didn't even bother to clean it up.
When dealing with them, it's best not to beat around the bush and make excuses.
Jing Shuhu's face darkened: "Then do you know that Han Chuijun and I have quite a grudge?"
Is there such a thing?
This was information that he had not been able to find out.
Li Yuan's heart tightened and he cried secretly.
The status of the art of weaponry is no less than that of the five true teachings of the inner sect. Without Shuhu's consent, he might not be able to learn it.
"snort!"
Just when he was thinking about what to say, Jing Shuhu waved his sleeves and walked away. After walking a few steps, when he saw that he was not moving, he turned around and scolded him, quite unhappy:
"Why did Han Chuijun recruit all his disciples so stupidly? I still have to carry you on my back?"
"follow me!"
"yes!"
Li Yuan was slightly happy, is there still drama?
With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that the craftsmen were in awe but also envious. He felt relieved and quickly followed.
Before he was promoted to the fifth level of Zhangbinglu, he was very interested in the art of weaponry. After the appearance of the Weapon Furnace, the status of this forging magic in his heart was even higher.
The weapons made by each craftsman are different according to their personal techniques. To maximize the effectiveness of the combined weapons furnace, it is best to make the weapons yourself.
…
The forge covers a large area, but it is still not the end of the crypt.
Following Jing Shuhu, Li Yuan walked into a tunnel where even the floor tiles were hot. He was sweating after not walking very far.
I had to adjust my breathing, regulate my energy and blood, and I couldn't help but be horrified:
"Good guy, isn't the temperature above seventy degrees?!"
Jing Shuhu was still walking, so Li Yuan followed him bravely. He felt that the surroundings were extremely hot, and his internal organs were tingling with each breath.
After walking for a while, Li Yuan was ready to stop. Even with blood and internal strength to protect his body, this temperature could already hurt the human body.
"Here, we are less than a hundred feet away from the geothermal fire veins."
Jing Shuhu stopped at this time.
Li Yuan wiped his sweat. The heat wave made him almost cry. His breathing rhythm had been reduced to the lowest level and he didn't want to talk at all.
In this empty cave, the surrounding stone walls are a little red, and it is actually a place for forging weapons.
However, there are only three forging stations.
"I have never been happy with Han Chuijun's disciples."
Jing Shuhu was not affected at all, he put his hands behind his hands and said solemnly: "However, since Lao Lei said that you are extremely talented, I will give you a chance!"
Li Yuan bowed: "Thank you, Great Elder."
If you want to ask for others, you must have the attitude of asking for others. He naturally understands this truth. Even if his internal organs are in severe pain when speaking, he still holds it back.
"The first thing that makes a soldier is fire!"
Jing Shuhu had no expression on his face and took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket:
"These are seven internal organs protection pills, one every three days, which can protect your internal organs from damage..."
Looking at Li Yuan who was bowing down and still in great pain, he twitched the corner of his mouth:
"I want you to stay here for twenty days and temper at least a thousand kilograms of blazing iron!"
"Twenty days?"
Li Yuan's complexion changed slightly.
The temperature here is extremely high. After staying for such a short time, he already felt unwell. Twenty days later, he still had to work hard...
"The art of forging weapons is far superior to the art of fighting with the Killing Hammer. This is a secret that is not taught in the Divine Weapon Valley. Many of my disciples have not learned it. If you want to learn it, don't you even have the patience to do so?"
Jing Shuhu sneered:
"Genius? The art of weaponry requires not only talent, but also endurance beyond ordinary people!"
"If you don't want to, you can leave!"
"Disciple is willing to give it a try!"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and agreed.
"good!"
Jing Shuhu threw the elixir over:
"In these twenty days, I will give you whatever you want, and you don't need to worry about food and drink!"
"But if we don't see a thousand pounds of blazing iron in twenty days..."
"That disciple will never bother the Great Elder again!"
Li Yuan was sweating all over, and the sweat evaporated quickly, and his whole figure seemed to be wrapped in mist.
"good!"
Jing Shuhu laughed, whether it was ridicule or surprise:
"what would you like?"
Under such high temperature, every word Li Yuan said felt like torture.
But he still endured it and made a request:
"I promised the Eighth Senior Brother to repair his hammer, which requires all kinds of iron materials."
"Um."
"I sent my handyman disciple Liu Zheng to buy a batch of elixirs for me..."
"I'll get it for you!"
"I need to choose multiple forging hammers, the more the better..."
"Um?"
Jing Shuhu frowned slightly:
"The forging hammer in your hand is second only to my one. Isn't it not enough?"
Li Yuan held back and did not speak.
"That's fine, just a few forging hammers, whatever you want."
Jing Shuhu responded.
Ironmaking has been forging in Zhubing Valley for more than a thousand years, and there are only 8,000 forging hammers left, if not 10,000.
"good!"
Li Yuan wiped away his sweat and looked up. Jing Shuhu's figure had disappeared.
Pour out a viscera-protecting elixir and drink it.
Normally, no matter where he got the elixir, he would try it on a little mouse first, but now he could only take it.
"call!"
The Zang-protecting Pill was cold in the mouth. Li Yuan felt like drinking ice water in the dog days of summer, and his whole body became energetic.
Although the heat is still unbearable, at least the pain in the internal organs is no longer severe.
"Compared with the pain of changing the bones, what is this?"
Looking at the red palms, Li Yuan smiled bitterly to comfort himself, but deep down, there was no disturbance in his heart.
It's not the first time he knows that learning art is difficult.
It takes more than ten years to learn the White Ape Cloak Hammer, but he can learn the Art of Weaponry in twenty days, which he feels is not a loss.
"Is this environment a good place to practice Henglian?"
Li Yuan took a small breath, stood up in a military posture, and pushed slowly to move the blood and relieve the heat.
He found that the energy, blood and internal energy were consumed very quickly here, and the progress of Qixing Heng's body training seemed to be faster.
The high temperature was much more painful than the friction of iron sand. Every second, he felt tortured, as if someone had thrown him into a frying pan.
"Endure, endure, endure..."
…
"This guy has some perseverance."
Outside Chirong Cave, seeing Li Yuan adapting so quickly and even daring to practice martial arts, a look of surprise appeared on Jing Shuhu's face:
"You have good bones and can adapt to high temperatures faster than others?"
Jing Shuhu was a little surprised.
The Valley of Divine Weapons started out as a forging of weapons, but as early as seven hundred years ago, no one in the valley could forge magic weapons.
There has never been a disciple with a dragon-shaped root bone in the Soldier-Forging Valley. In fact, if he had a small dragon-shaped root bone in those days, the devil would come here to forge iron in the dark underground.
"Senior brother, you actually threw him into the Chirong Cave?"
Lei Jingchuan came quickly, his eyelids twitching wildly, he looked over for a few times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Han Chuijun is the most defensive. If something happens to this kid..."
Thinking about the consequences, Lei Jingchuan couldn't help but tremble. No one except the Valley Master could stop Han Chuijun.
"He's not a dead person. He won't resist if he can't bear it. Besides, with the internal protection pill, he'll only suffer a little bit."
Jing Shuhu didn't care much. He came here this way, and all the disciples who learned the art of weaponry also came here this way.
Han Chuijun's disciple wants to make an exception?
Why?
"If a disciple of this caliber, talent, and willingness to learn weapon-making skills misses one, I'm afraid there won't be another one for hundreds of years."
Lei Jingchuan shook his head.
The art of weapon forging was secretly taught, but he was willing to make an exception in front of a true disciple with dragon-shaped bones and extremely talented people.
No matter what...
Jing Shuhu glanced at him and said, "Go and get some forging hammers for that boy. He doesn't think you can take advantage of them."
"Is my hammer still not handy?"
Lei Jingchuan glared angrily. He spent a lot of effort to build it, second only to the ancestors of the past and Jing Shuhu.
"Get more."
Jing Shuhu yawned, turned around and left: "Just watch, don't let this kid really die."
"This old guy..."
Lei Jingchuan sneered inwardly.
Having been brothers for decades, how could he not know Jing Shuhu?
How could a lazy person who could lie down or sit instead of stand on weekdays come to see the enemy's disciple if he didn't have great interest?
"Forging hammer, well, let me think about it..."
…
…
There is no day or night in Chirong Cave.
Li Yuan only played one set of military postures and then stopped. The high fever made him a little dehydrated. He waited for a long time before Lei Jingchuan came.
"Water, enough water!"
Lei Jingchuan was carrying two large tanks, one of which
It was filled with cold pool water, and the other mouth was filled with forging hammers.
Li Yuan didn't even bother to say thank you, he plunged into the water tank, then suddenly pulled back, grinning from the cold.
"Red melting fire plus cold pond water, doesn't it taste good?"
Lei Jingchuan laughed heartily, and after Li Yuan finished drinking the water, he threw the vat of forging hammer to him:
"Try to see if it works for you first. I'll bring you two cylinders tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Elder Lei."
After drinking a lot of water, Li Yuan felt better. He stretched his muscles and felt that the heat was not so unbearable.
However, after a while, he was sweating again.
"Forging iron here..."
Li Yuan's teeth were a little sore. Seeing Lei Jingchuan leaving, he looked at the vat of forging hammer.
Among the dozens of forging hammers, most are first-level hammers, and only a few are second-level hammers.
At the bottom, there is a third-level hammer.
[Grandmaster Forging Hammer (Level 3)]
[Fire-fire fine iron is made by mixing hundreds of kinds of fine iron. He has been with the forging master for many years and has forged more than a hundred soldiers. It has a slight supernatural effect...]
[Conditions for control: Perfection of any hammer technique, huge strength of the tiger, small success with the fighting hammer]
[Controller effects: Hammer talent (dark blue), blacksmithing talent (light blue), weaponry proficiency (light blue), blacksmithing perfection (light blue), military fighting hammer success (light blue)]
"What a hammer!"
Li Yuan felt better now.
Naturally, this hammer cannot be compared with the one from Lei Jingchuan, but the control requirements are also lower and easier to satisfy.
"Two talents, and the forging talent is Danqing, which is already a quasi-fourth-level hammer, and it also has the blessing of a Dacheng-level weapon fighting hammer!"
Li Yuan poured out all the hammers from a jar, turned his back to the entrance of the cave, and started using them one by one to prevent anyone from prying.
Soon, he pulled out a second-level forging hammer with the control effect of 'Fighting Killing Hammer Xiaocheng'.
"There are also hammer talents, but unfortunately, they are only light blue. Well... find a few more similar ones and try stacking them up."
Li Yuan couldn't take his eyes away, he was so happy that he ignored the heat around him for a moment.
Dozens of similar forging hammers of the lowest level allowed him to try many things.
For example, five hammer talents are supported at the same time!
"It's a good opportunity, can't let it go."
After selecting all the best forging hammers, Li Yuan became more active.
There is no shortage of fourth-level forging hammers in the Weapon-casting Valley, but he guesses that Lei Jingchuan will not bring them all, but at the third level, he may not be able to get a set of five pieces.
"Pick a set, and after leaving, buy it with money. Lao Lei is still easy to talk to..."
…
Lei Jingchuan kept his promise, and then he sent two more large cylinders of forging hammers.
Li Yuan finally collected four third-level forging hammers, and a quasi-third-level forging hammer with dark blue hammer talents.
"Five times of hammer talent stacking, twenty days, is enough for me to master the fighting hammer to a certain level, right?"
Li Yuan is looking forward to it.
Once you are sure there is no one around, choose to take control.
