There is a large square table in the thatched cottage. Four old men in different clothes are playing mahjong enthusiastically around the table. There was a small table next to them with pastries, dried fruits, and tea, but no one had time to eat. It was obvious that the war was in full swing.
Looking for inspiration, right?
The three people from Chu and Liang curled their lips when they saw this, thinking that you were going to seek Tao Yun or comprehend the meaning of the sword, and you spent the whole day playing mahjong here. To put it this way, isn’t Shushan the king of inspiration per capita?
Chen An whispered: "Those three are all nearby Immortal Sect masters, and they are also my master's partners to find inspiration."
As he spoke, he walked forward, saluted an old man sitting in the east seat and said, "Master, I have a few friends from Shushan who want to meet you and ask for help."
The old man was dressed in a purple-breasted gray robe, with a long and thin face, cross-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a rather sharp look between his brows. He was Chen Buyan, the owner of Jianlu. Hearing Chen An's words, he nodded slightly and said, "Wait until I finish this lap."
"Yes." Chen An responded, stepped back in front of the Chu and Liang trio, and said, "I can only help here, wait until my master finishes this round."
"That's pretty quick." Chu Liang said nonchalantly.
"Their circle refers to the sundial over there turning once." Chen An pointed to the yard outside, where there was a sundial, reflecting its shadow in the sun.
"Isn't that just a whole day?" Lin Bei said in surprise: "My brothers are in good shape, and they are not tired even after sitting for such a long time."
"Haha." Chen An smiled, "My master and the others play mahjong day and night. A game often takes more than ten days to enjoy."
Chu Liang is not surprised. For ordinary people, if it is not limited by physical factors, they may not be satisfied with even playing for a few days. For tireless practitioners, it is not unusual for a fight to last ten and a half days.
He smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, we will just wait here. Since you are asking for help, you must be sincere."
After speaking, he quietly stretched out a finger.
call out.
A ray of light that only he could see fell on the old man opposite Chen Buyan.
The old man was staring at the cards in his superior's hand. Seeing that the opponent still did not play after much deliberation, the moment the light fell on him, his face suddenly became furious, and the invisible devil's horns extended out.
"Can you hit me?" He slapped the table hard, stood up suddenly with a bang, "I'm still thinking, still thinking, it's like a dung beetle pushing a donkey's dung egg, you have to be as slow as you want. . I just played a card. Is there no suit that you like? Do you have to figure out what your second aunt’s family will eat for lunch today before you can play this card. I just want you to have a card worth twenty thousand, and you can keep it. It's useless to hold on to, so why are you holding it on all the time? Keep it for your parents to be buried with or for your daughter to use as a dowry?"
The old man with a strong build was stunned for a moment when he scolded him. I don't know why he suddenly became so angry, and he didn't even think of how to retaliate.
At this time, Chu Liang pointed his finger again, and an old man in a long robe from the next family was hit by the devil's heart curse, and his whole person immediately released a fierce aura.
"Are you still talking about him?" The old man from the next family was also furious. He grabbed the collar of the angry old man and said angrily: "How are you better than him? Aren't you a Wanzi? Then why can't you just write a note? I don’t see you hitting me, but I’m asking you where is the note? Did it get mixed into the noodles you had for breakfast today? I’m all in love with you, I’m so happy with you, you’re not stuck at all, just my little buttocks. You’re clearly doing it. Targeted, it’s obviously because I got the most hostility yesterday and you don’t want to have fun, right? Then everyone should stop playing!”
"What are you doing..." Chen Buyan stretched out his hand to persuade.
At this time, the light from Chu Liang's fingertips fell on the honest old man again.
I saw him suddenly jump up and yell, "Ah——"
The other three old men were all interrupted by his roar and looked at him strangely: "What's your name?"
"I want a big four!" He stamped his feet twice: "There must be something wrong with your broken sword house's Feng Shui. Why do I start with good cards every time, but fail to get good cards every time? Every time I get one here Fight, bad luck is like dog-skin plaster, you can’t throw it away! When I see your three ugly old faces, I want to vomit! It’s really disgusting!”
"Wow yeah-"
"..."
The three old men immediately got into a fight. After all, they were all the masters of the Little Immortal Sect, and their cultivation levels were not low. They fought with great force for a while.
"Come quickly, pull them apart!" Chen Buyan shouted quickly.
Fortunately, although several headmasters were furious, they did not kill him. A group of Jianlu disciples swarmed forward, pulling and pushing them away. Chen Buyan quickly asked his disciples to send these people back to their respective homes, not daring to let them play anymore.
Good guy.
This is simply a gamble.
"Why haven't you noticed that they have such a bad temper before?" After sending the elders away, Chen Buyan sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at Chu Liang and the others, "A young man from Shushan, right? Why are you looking for me? Huh? I happen to be free today, let’s talk about it.”
Chu Liang quickly came over and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? What a coincidence."
…
Chen Buyan was quite unhappy when he heard that he was asked to try to smelt a material. After all, he is the best swordsmith in the world, and smelting is only the first step in swordmaking. In many cases, it is done by apprentices. It is somewhat humiliating to ask him to do this.
"Don't worry, Master Chen." Chu Liang said: "Although it is a small job, we can pay it at the same price as a big job."
"Is this a matter of money?" Chen Buyan glared at him, "Our swords are made using ancient methods and are not suitable for common things..."
"This is the deposit." Chu Liang directly handed over a jade slip for storage, "Whether it succeeds or not, this is yours. If it succeeds, it will be ten times more."
Chen BuTi's pupils shrank obviously, he paused, then stood up and said, "I want to see what kind of material it is, it can't even handle Samadhi Divine Fire."
After taking a few steps, he turned around again: "This is not about money."
When Chen Buyan saw the Tribulation-Ending Divine Copper that Xu Ziyang sacrificed, he was immediately shocked.
"Oh my god." Chen Buyan stepped forward and touched the surface of the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze, exclaiming: "This is simply... not a material that should be available in the human world..."
"Although I haven't made many swords in my life, I pride myself on having a lot of knowledge. I have seen most of the top ten artifacts in the Wanbaolu. The reason why I never dared to have the extravagant hope of forging artifacts of that level is because of my lack of skill. The most important thing is that there is no material in the world that can carry that level of spirituality. The materials for all artifacts come from outside the world."
"But this Tribulation Divine Copper..." he said in a trembling voice, "This is clearly an artifact-level material. Is it obtained from the human world?"
"This is the only remaining part of the Jiuli Bronze City that survived the catastrophe." Xu Ziyang said: "Because of this, it is called the Divine Bronze of Overcoming the Tribulation."
It is not accurate to say that this piece of divine copper is a wreckage. Because it almost carried most of the spirituality of the Bronze City back then, that catastrophe was like a stew over a large fire, and this small piece left behind was the ultimate essence. Especially after being tempered, it has reached an even higher level.
It can be said that the power that is impossible to appear in the human world has also been incorporated into it to create this piece of material that is impossible to have in the human world.
Chen Buyan rubbed it back and forth for a long time before saying, "I really can't guarantee that it can be smelted with such magical copper, but I can give it a try."
He clasped his hands together and bowed to the sacred copper, as if he were saluting before offending.
However, according to Xu Ziyang, the spirit of the Bronze City resurrected in the Breath of the Underworld has dissipated, and it is not known to whom this ceremony was performed.
After Chen Buyi saluted, he called his disciples and moved the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze to a narrow valley deep in Zhongshan Mountain.
The valley is extremely small, and the surrounding mountain walls and ground are all pure black. There is a stone platform in the center that is engraved with array patterns. The divine copper of transcending tribulation is placed on the stone platform, and everyone is lined up on both sides of the valley.
"The fact that Zhongshan Sword House can be passed down to this day is mostly due to the Zhongling Mountain Divine Fire." Chen Buyan said to Chu Liang, "Your master's Samadhi Divine Fire is certainly powerful, but it is an explosive and killing fire, which is most suitable for destruction. But what we need to make swords is to retain the complete spirituality of the materials, the more the better. In this regard, Samadhi Divine Fire is actually not suitable for casting."
Chu Liang nodded and accepted the instruction.
Most of the time, no one would consider using Samadhi Divine Fire to refine weapons, including the Imperial City Swordsmith Bai Litong. Only when you encounter materials that you really can't handle, you will choose to use the Samadhi Divine Fire to refine them.
That kind of top-notch material, even if it has lost its spirituality, is still better than inferior materials. This is the choice of using Samadhi Divine Fire.
"This mountain divine fire that only Zhongshan can offer may be less powerful in killing, but its density and majesty are even better than the Samadhi divine fire, which is most suitable for smelting various materials."
As Chen Buyan spoke, he ordered his disciples, "Sacrifice the magic circle!"
There were eight Jianlu disciples standing around the valley. With an order, these eight people used magic formulas at the same time to activate the formation in the valley.
boom--
A raging purple-green sea of fire suddenly appeared in the Black Stone Valley, submerging the Tribulation Divine Copper. The fire was so strong that the practitioners standing around were immediately sweating profusely, and they felt the heat wave steaming them.
But Chen Buyan frowned and said: "Open it directly!"
It is said that the ancient Zhongshan God was the god of fire in the sky and was relegated to this place. It was here that he could use the magic circle to create the unique fire of the mountain god. But the world of immortality knows that the real reason is that there is a rare fire spirit mineral vein under Zhongshan Mountain, which is why the fire virtue is strong. Zhongshan Sword House never allowed people to mine mineral veins, and only used the mountain sacred fire to make swords.
If this mountain god fire cannot smelt the Tribulation Divine Copper, it can only mean that it is a material that does not belong to the human world and cannot be refined by humans.
The disciples changed their tactics and immediately opened the formation to the maximum.
A loud rumbling sound came from the formation, and the eyes were filled with a burst of purple light. The fire could no longer be seen, nor could the divine copper in the fire be seen.
Chu Liang could only feel that his face was getting hot, as if it was about to melt.
Even his physical body couldn't withstand it, which showed how intense the fire was.
But Chen Buyi's frown deepened. He stared at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Everyone, step back!"
"Master..." Chen An, who was activating the formation over there, looked over, "Are you going to summon those?"
Following Chen Buyi's order, everyone retreated a hundred feet.
Master Chen was the only one standing at the edge of the valley. With a flick of his robe sleeves, he held out eight large flags, which were placed one after another where all the disciples were standing, fluttering in the wind.
As he placed the flag and landed on the ground, he made a movement of his fingers, and a flash of inspiration flashed through him.
Not long after, there was a storm, and a roaring dragon roar came from the distant sky: "Roar——"
Astonishingly, it was a fire dragon with deep red scales, flying across the air and landing with a crash! It wasn't enough for one to hit the ground, and then a second one rolled out of the clouds!
Then came three, four, five...seven, eight!
A full eight fire dragons landed around the valley, their flames surging. It seemed that they were quite familiar with this process.
"I have been in Jianlu for more than 30 years, and I have only seen the master sacrifice four dragons. I didn't expect to directly summon the sacred fire of Balong Mountain this time!" Chen An said in surprise, "It seems that your tribulation-transmitting divine copper is really amazing."
The eight fire dragons came down at Chen Buyi's call, and without any delay, they stretched their necks at the same time and exerted their strength against the sea of fire in the valley below, "Roar——"
The strong wind was blowing, the eight fire dragons were shining brightly for hundreds of miles, and Chu Liang felt that even if he threw in the top ten artifacts from the Ten Thousand Treasures Record, he could refine it, not to mention a piece of copper.
But Chen Buyan's expression became more and more serious.
It lasted for more than half an hour, and then he waved his hand fiercely, and the eight fire dragons all stopped their strength, somewhat sluggish. Even if it is a specialized fire dragon, the high-intensity divine fire output will be exhausted after such a long time.
Chen Buyan looked at the Chu and Liang trio and said, "I can feel that this divine copper clearly has a spirit. If you want to refine it, I'm afraid you have to wait until it is willing to be smelted by you."
"ah?"
Lin Bei frowned when he heard this, wondering if the old man could not refine it and was lying here to trick others. When the divine copper is willing to be refined...
Let alone it, will there ever be a time when you are willing to be refined?
But when Xu Ziyang heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes and said, "I understand."
…
At the same time, among the icebergs in the far north.
Among the vast ice, there is actually a towering green ancient tree. This tree has countless vines, fluttering in the cold wind of the north.
On one of the vines, there was a simple blue shadow, which seemed to be absorbing something. Light blue light spots continued to flow from the figure to the ancient tree.
Next to him, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat, tall and with a vicissitudes of face. He was sitting and yawning boredly, as if watching the fun.
"Is it almost done?" The light blue shadow said, "I feel like I'm going to die."
"It's still early." The man in the hat replied casually.
"Ah?" the pale blue shadow said in surprise: "Don't lie to me, I can clearly see that the gourd is almost full."
It turned out that there was a small opening at the root of the green ancient tree, from which golden liquid was slowly flowing out, and a gourd was there to catch the flowing golden liquid.
"Oh, you're talking about this." The man in the bamboo hat scratched his head and said with a smile: "The green sacred tree juice is enough, I said it's still too early for you to die."
"..." Xuying was speechless for a moment. After all, he did not get angry, but said in a calm tone: "Then untie me quickly, I can't move anymore."
These two people are naturally the Sword King of the West Sea, Chen Erniu, and the Whale Riding Immortal.
During the last battle in the West Sea, the Immortal Riding the Whale did not remind Chen Erniu because he knew Yinghuo had done something wrong. After that, he invited him to cooperate and took him around to collect materials for rebuilding the body. Now he has collected all the needed things. .
Only the last pure golden sap of the green sacred tree is missing. This green sacred tree can only produce golden sap when it absorbs the pure power of the soul. After the two argued for a while, it was naturally Chen Erniu who took the initiative to be tied up by the tree vines and exchanged his soul power for the golden sap.
It belongs to self-produced and self-sold products.
The soul power can be replenished with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but when being tied up, in addition to absorbing the soul power, the green sacred tree will also inject a highly paralyzing toxin into the soul, which is really unpleasant.
So after the quantity was enough, Chen Erniu was eager to come down.
The whale-riding immortal cut off the vines with his fingers and rescued Chen Erniu. Chen Erniu turned over and hung in the air, saying: "Is everything ready now?"
"Actually, there is still one thing missing." The whale-riding immortal said.
"What?" Chen Erniu asked hurriedly.
"Money." The Whale Riding Immortal smiled and said, "The miracle doctor I know can definitely help you reshape your body, but he only cares about money. For a big job like this, the amount is definitely huge."
"This..." Chen Erniu looked confused.
"You are the Sword Emperor of the West Sea, money shouldn't be a problem, right?" said the Whale Riding Immortal.
"Of course it is, and it's a big problem. In our small country in the West Sea, in a remote and remote area, there is no way to get rich." Chen Erniu sighed helplessly: "If we really talk about spirit stone coins, we may not have a large fairy family. thick."
"Then there's nothing we can do." The Whale Riding Immortal said, "If that doesn't work, why don't you go work for a few years and save some money?"
"It's impossible to work part-time!" Chen Erniu waved his hand decisively, "Can't you lend me some?"
"I can't help you." The Whale Riding Immortal shrugged, "Who is not a poor fellow?"
The two of them were arguing over each other when they saw a sword light from the distance suddenly fall to the ground, and Jiang Yuebai's figure was revealed.
The whale-riding immortal immediately smiled: "Are you back?"
good evening.
