when!
when!
when!
The hammer went up and down, and sparks flew everywhere.
In the Chirong Cave, Li Yuan was naked, with a strong body and a bronze complexion. A forging hammer struck out an afterimage in his hand. It was very powerful and full of endurance.
On the wall not far away, there was a spirit animal skin hanging, with the appearance of a pair of inner armor outlined on it.
The first step in making a famous weapon is to choose a blueprint.
Any famous weapon is priced at five to six thousand taels of silver and can be used as a family heirloom, which cannot be compared with standard weapons.
High-grade famous weapons are even more rare, and most of the elders in the inner and outer courtyards of the Divine Weapon Valley only use this level.
Li Yuan had no choice, and the first high-grade famous instrument he built was the inner armor.
Not only to show off his weapon-making talent, but also to prepare for practicing the 'Ten Thousand Blades Spiritual Dragon', he wanted to stack up his horizontal training talent.
More importantly, I am going to take this opportunity to ask Lao Lei for the 'Armor Refinement Technique'...
"call!"
Pieces of burning spiritual wood were thrown into the forging furnace, and the orange-red flames became more and more restless. The high-quality iron material quickly turned red, and quickly deformed as the hammer lifted and fell.
Selecting various iron materials, forging alloys, and blending many properties together is the second step.
"The most difficult aspects of making inner armor are the close fit and flexibility. I don't have any requirements in this aspect."
There is no need to be beautiful to control a weapon. If it weren't for the strict restrictions on the creation of heavy armor, he would have wanted to build a heavy armor.
"Tough, thick, heat-resistant and fire-insulating, not easy to wear..."
Li Yuan thought to himself.
As the art of weapon forging became more and more sophisticated, he also had a certain understanding of what characteristics were needed for different control effects to appear.
The heavy hammer will not be sharp, and the inner armor will never cut gold or jade. Different armors have different control effects.
What affects this is 'alloy'.
when!
when!
Li Yuan was immersed in blacksmithing. He chose at least thirty kinds of rare iron materials to combine together.
This is the minimum requirement for high-grade famous weapons, and it is also the limit that his weapon-making skills can reach at this moment. No matter how much, it will not be able to be perfectly integrated.
"call!"
Blacksmithing is a hard job. With Li Yuan's current physical condition, more than half of the day has passed by the time this piece of iron material takes shape.
"good!"
Before the forging hammer was put down, Li Yuan heard cheers. When he turned around, he saw Lei Jingchuan, who was smiling like an old chrysanthemum.
And not far away, the unsmiling Jing Shuhu.
"Elder, Great Elder."
Li Yuan bowed his hands and was a little surprised. He didn't faint, so of course he knew they were here a long time ago.
It's just that that's all Lao Lei, he has always been very concerned about himself, why is this tiger so free?
"Good boy!"
Lei Jingchuan patted Li Yuan's shoulder hard, stretched out his big hand, grabbed the piece of iron material in his hand, and weighed it up and down with the inner air isolated:
"I learned quickly enough, good, very good!"
Thirty different and even conflicting properties of iron materials were perfectly stacked together. Of course he knew how solid basic skills this required.
Lei Jingchuan nodded repeatedly, beaming with joy and satisfaction.
In particular, his blacksmithing techniques and rhythm were almost exactly the same as his own, which made him even more satisfied.
'This subclasses me! '
Not only Lei Jingchuan, but also Jing Shuhu also had this idea in his mind.
He watched here for several hours, and saw his own shadow in his forging techniques.
"I just gave him a few symbolic blows, how can he learn this?"
Jing Shuhu pinched his beard, feeling much better for no reason.
This kid must have been secretly thinking about imitating himself. Well, he looks the same on the outside, good, good, good...
With this thought in his mind, he coughed lightly:
"Well, the hammering skills are loose and superficial, so the endurance is still there. It's not considered rotten wood, but it can still be carved!"
"...The Great Elder is full of praise."
Li Yuan was already very familiar with this tiger's temperament. The bones in his body were really soft, and his mouth had to be very hard.
Being able to say the words 'Shang Ke Diaoye', I think my performance is already sufficient.
"okay."
Lei Jingchuan didn't know his senior brother's temperament, so he didn't even bother to look at him. He coughed lightly and said:
"Starting tomorrow, I, um, and the great elder will be here to teach you the 'Armor Refinement Technique' and the 'Qi and Blood Spirit Condensation Technique'."
ah?
Li Yuan was startled, he didn't expect it to be so easy, but he reacted quickly and quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, elder, great elder."
…
…
These two old men must have been stimulated!
The next day, Li Yuan was keenly aware of this.
It was just that Lei Jingchuan was more attentive than usual. Jing Shuhu actually started to teach him the art of weaponry, which made him a little flattered.
In the days that followed, the two old men seemed to be nailed to the Chirong Cave, enduring high temperatures and painstakingly teaching each other the art of weaponry from beginning to end.
Weapon tempering, armor tempering, weapon channeling, armor channeling...
Blood channeling, Qi-blood channeling, breath channeling...
For more than 1,400 years, no matter what the art of weaponry looked like in the beginning, it must be huge and complicated now.
It only took thirteen days for Li Daoye to go from being hungry and thirsty to being numb and resisting, and he immediately jumped away.
Who is a good person who learned from the crow of a chicken to the barking of a dog?
"call!"
Early in the morning, Li Yuan slipped into the depths of the bamboo forest. The light snow had just stopped and the scenery was quite beautiful.
He found Fang Baoluo's set of barbecue kitchen utensils, and simply set them up deep in the bamboo forest, and set up a roasted sheep.
"You have to relax a little while practicing martial arts. It's really not efficient to do hard work."
Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief. He had almost had nightmares in the past ten days, not even the college entrance examination sprint.
Coming back exhausted every day and having to change your bones is too much for even an iron man to withstand, and the efficiency is very low.
"Are you afraid it has something to do with Wan Chuan?"
Li Yuan was lying on the deck chair. The sun was just rising in the sky and the sunshine was shining on the bamboo forest. He calmed down and thought a lot.
After he and Qiao Tianhe became acquainted, in addition to discussing the art of weaponry, they also inquired about Ziyun Prefecture and Qixing Palace.
Wan Chuan's status in the Seven Star Palace is very special. Even the owner of the Seven Star Palace must treat him with courtesy, and there are many masters following him wherever he goes.
"A divine craftsman."
Li Yuan thought about something. Could it be that these two old men wanted to promote him as a master craftsman?
If so, that's a good thing for him.
Not to mention the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he has also been coveting the good things in the Forged Weapon Valley for a long time...
"Forget it, take a break from your busy schedule and take a day off."
Li Yuan let his mind go, only to feel the fatigue from the past welling up, leaving him lying on the rocking chair and not wanting to get up for a long time.
"Almost confused!"
In the bamboo forest, Yu Jin jumped out like his butt was on fire, shaking the barbecue grill:
"This is a spiritual sheep. Each one costs more than a hundred taels of silver, so we can't waste it."
Yu Jin said as he sprinkled the condiments and roasted them slowly over low heat.
There are many spiritual beasts in Zhelong Mansion. The most expensive one is the red dragon fish, which can easily cost hundreds of taels of gold, while the cheapest one is the spiritual sheep.
There is a pasture in Shenbing Valley, where horses and sheep are grazed. A disciple of Shenbing Valley can buy one for one hundred taels, which is a good bargain.
"Are you coming back now?"
Li Yuan sat up.
The spirit sheep is sizzling and emitting oil. It is full of fragrance, but it is not as flamboyant as the spirit fish. Instead, it is quite restrained. You can only smell the aroma at a close distance. It has the smell of grass and trees, but there is no smell at all.
"With thousands of divine guards and old guys like me here, there will naturally be no trouble in Fucheng. The business of your shop is better than ever."
Yu Jin took out the various elixirs he had bought down the mountain from his arms and talked about what he had seen and heard when he went down the mountain.
More than two months have passed, and the turmoil in Fucheng has subsided. Before and after winter, various merchant ships come and go, which is very lively.
Liu Zheng and Wang Peiyao also took the opportunity to come out and make a fortune.
"No wonder you care so much about those handyman disciples. They bought about half of these pills for you."
"Thank you for running around all the time."
Li Yuan thanked him, took the pills and counted them.
There are three bottles of common elixirs such as blood-increasing, bone-strengthening, tendon-relieving, and Yuan-tonifying elixirs. One bottle contains ten pills, which is enough for him to need for a month.
In addition, there are also three bottles of elixirs for blood accumulation, detoxification, etc.
"They asked me to tell you that everything is safe in the shop, and they asked you not to go down the mountain, for fear that someone would be watching you."
"It's good that they're okay."
Li Yuan felt slightly relieved. In more than two months, he had asked Jin to go down the mountain at least six or seven times, but he had only recently contacted Liu Zheng and the others.
Wang Peiyao and others are a little inferior in talent, but there are no problems in other aspects.
"Okay, I'll eat at the restaurant down the mountain, so I won't mess with you, the clever sheep."
After talking for a while, Yu Jin declined Li Yuan's invitation and went deep into the bamboo forest with a wave of his hand.
"The situation in Fucheng should have been stabilized for the time being. No matter how hard it is to make people faint and so many people die, the rest should calm down."
Li Yuan put away the elixir and opened the letter Wang Peiyao gave him.
The letter lists the expenses and income of the armory shop for more than half a year. In addition, it lists all the major and minor events in the city during this period.
For example, most of the "Knife Hunting List" was empty. Someone took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Qiu Shui, the oiran of Baihua Pavilion, which made Liu Zheng beat his chest and feet for a while...
He also mentioned that both of them had developed inner strength and had made slight progress in their martial arts.
"Have you finally developed your inner strength?"
Li Yuan could feel Miss Wang's sadness from reading between the lines.
When we first met, he had only a small amount of Qi and blood, but these gentlemen and ladies in the inner city all had a high level of Qi and blood.
Two years later, he had grown up internally, and they were able to cultivate their internal energy.
This comparison made Li Yuan feel sad when he thought about it from his perspective.
"Sacrifice to heaven and change your destiny. If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestor, the future would be really difficult..."
Recalling the scene when he first arrived at the weapon forging shop, Li Yuan was touched.
He works hard enough, but there are many people who work hard, and he doesn't have the basic skills or talent. He knows very well what he relies on to get to where he is today.
“The ancestor’s blessing!”
Li Yuan sensed the palm weapon and felt grateful in his heart.
Then he put away the elixir letter and flipped through the miscellaneous books borrowed from the library.
Reading books about the art of war these past few days had made him numb, and he was about to change his taste.
He has a habit of being picky when reading, reading what interests him first, and then flipping through the catalog to select the parts that interest him more.
Soon, he actually found something he was interested in.
"On using form to complement form to please the gods, the author - Feng Yun."
It's something left by the ancestor of the Divine Weapon Valley.
Li Yuan took a few firewood from the bonfire, leaving only a slight fire to roast the spirit sheep, and read a book before eating.
"Many people in the world of martial arts admire the use of form to supplement form, believing that it can change the bones and increase martial arts. Feng Yun deeply agrees with this."
The Patriarch of the Divine Weapon Valley highly values the use of form to complement form.
Li Yuan glanced at the sheep kidneys strung together by him and continued to flip through the book:
"To use form to complement form, it must be at least a spiritual animal to be effective, and it must be eaten over many years. Only in this way can the endowment be changed and the skill enhanced."
"How much money does it cost to eat the meat of spiritual beasts for many years?"
Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.
His appetite is probably slightly larger than that of a normal shape-shifting warrior. This spiritual sheep weighs about twenty kilograms, which is enough for him to eat a meal.
If it were eighty thousand miles, the sheep could be eaten by cows.
He thought for a while, a sect of the level of Divine Weapon Valley could afford it, but only one or two people?
"No wonder every famous warrior wants to establish a sect. This cost is not something ordinary people can bear."
Li Yuan flipped through the book and couldn't help but admire the founder of the Divine Weapon Valley.
He has obviously eaten many kinds of spiritual beasts, and has detailed descriptions of the taste, effects, and taste of various spiritual beasts.
Which spiritual beast has the most strength and which spiritual beast has the most bones are all written in great detail.
"Among the ordinary beasts, dragon meat ranks first, and among spiritual beasts, dragon meat is the most nourishing. I have eaten more than a dozen of them, but unfortunately, there is no trace of the dragon, so I have not been able to taste it yet. This is Yun's life-long regret."
"The resentment of a foodie."
Li Yuan could feel regret even through the words, and couldn't help but record it in his heart.
Those who make up the shape or not, always look for opportunities to try it and see if it is as mysterious as it sounds.
Looking through the book again, Li Yuan saw a few words about blood sacrifices, mainly Feng Yun's contempt and hatred for those who held blood sacrifices.
"A bunch of idiots, they think they're pleasing the gods, but in fact, hehe..."
Feng Yun seemed to have some taboos and didn't leave much behind. He was just quite hostile and warned the younger disciples that if anyone held a blood sacrifice, they would kill the whole family regardless of the reason.
"What is a blood sacrifice? I have heard an interesting saying."
Feng Yun left behind a short story, to the effect that there was a group of ants trying to attract someone's idea.
They crawl around and use various methods to form various strange patterns.
The man was attracted and dropped a shred of meat because he thought it was interesting. The ants were delighted and became more and more interested in it. They used the same method to attract other people in order to get another shred of meat.
But he was trampled to pieces.
"Does this mean that blood sacrifices are extremely uncertain?"
Li Yuan touched his chin. Finally, it was Feng Yun's definition of blood sacrifice.
[All acts of sacrificing flesh and blood to non-living beings are called blood sacrifices]
"Well, that's a little biased."
Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. According to this definition, wouldn't he also become a blood sacrificer?
After putting down the book, the Ling Sheep was roasted. Li Yuan took a knife and cut a few pieces to send to Yu Jin and others.
"It tastes really good."
Li Yuan tasted slowly, one mouthful of mutton and one mouthful of monkey wine, looking at the snowy scene, he felt troubled and exhausted in his heart.
Taking a break from his busy schedule, Li Yuan indulged himself for a day and went to the Weapon-casting Valley early the next morning. Unexpectedly, Lei Jingchuan and the other two did not reprimand him, and even asked him to take a day off every ten days.
Soon, Li Yuan rested for three days.
More than a month later, the creation of the top-grade famous vessel has come to its final finishing touches.
