Chapter 120: 5th Level Weapon Control Scroll

Chapter 120 Fifth Level Weapon Control Scroll

The Weapon Forging Shop is located on Shenbing Street.

This is the most prosperous street in the city. All the streets in other urban areas are connected to it, and every inch of land there is worth a lot of money.

After entering the city, Li Yuan took a carriage. He got up early and was craving for the snacks in the city.

Pedestrians coming and going, wanderers carrying swords and knives, all kinds of delicious food, hawkers selling goods, storytelling in teahouses and restaurants... all interweave into a prosperous scene that cannot be seen in Gaoliu County.

"It's still more comfortable to live in the city."

Li Yuan wrapped a roasted chicken in lotus leaves and ate it while walking. He couldn't help but think of his second brother and smiled:

"I wonder what my second brother's expression will be when my letter arrives... Once we have established ourselves, I will bring my brother and his wife, Fatty Sun, and Old Zhang over here."

The quietness of the mountains is suitable for practicing martial arts, but when it comes to living there, he still prefers the city with its crowds and bustle.

"From now on, I have to come to the city every now and then to see the people... Hmm, is this what the ancestors meant by 'leaving the world' or 'entering the world'?"

Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he never stopped walking or eating. He walked and ate all the way.

He has a huge appetite and can eat all kinds of snacks.

Liu Zheng could only be secretly shocked, but he still trotted along, talking about whatever Li Yuan saw.

Although he has only been here for half a year, he is already a qualified guide.

"Tongda Bank is the Valley Master's business, which is spread all over the three prefectures and makes a fortune every day..."

"Anping Grain Company is Elder Qiu's business, and his family also controls the grain transport in the prefecture..."

"Salt and iron are the businesses of Elder Han and Elder Ku Yue..."

"The horse farm a hundred miles outside the city is the Stick Soldiers Hall..."

……

After walking for more than ten miles, Li Yuan suddenly felt that he was actually very poor, extremely poor.

The little things that were rewarded as true teachings were just a drop in the bucket for the Divine Weapon Valley.

The livelihood industries of the entire city are all under the names of the five elders and the nine true disciples.

In addition, Shenbing Valley can take more than 30% of the tax revenue of the entire city, and the rest is the share of the government office and the court.

“No wonder the Zhao family is known as one of the six major families and is also engaged in the business of dung tyrants.”

With Liu Zheng's intuitive introduction, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of the prosperity of Shenbing Valley.

During the True Transmission Ceremony, every one of the people in the palace was extremely wealthy...

"Many businesses in and outside the city cannot be interfered with by others without the permission of the Divine Weapon Valley."

Liu Zheng felt a little sad.

There is certainly a reason why millions of people in Zhelong Mansion are proud to be admitted to the Divine Weapon Valley.

"A local lord."

Li Yuan also felt a little emotional.

This is the case with Zhelong Prefecture, Dechang Prefecture, Huizhou, Hengshan Prefecture, and even the prefectures and counties in the world will probably be no exception.

These sects, big and small, are like countries within a country.

The Dayun Dynasty is more like a "factional alliance" than a dynasty...

Li Yuan felt a little emotional, but accepted it quickly.

He is now also a true disciple of the Divine Weapon Valley. Logically speaking, he is qualified to get involved in all walks of life.

At least, he is qualified to compete with other true disciples and elders.

"There are hundreds of shops in the three nearby streets that were once owned by the Zhao family. Now half of them are in the government office and half are in the Divine Guards..."

Li Yuan saw many shops with seals on them. Liu Zheng explained:

"Except for the three shops given to us, all of the Zhao family's assets are now closed. All those given to others have also been confiscated."

This is, of course, the weight of the true teachings.

However, Li Yuan was very clear that it was the Zhao family that was being dealt with in the valley, and the merchants who rented the shops would not be affected, and they might even have their rent reduced or exempted later.

Tani is very familiar with how to eliminate the impact.

In the middle and back section of Shenbing Street, where several streets intersect, three shops are connected and the renovated weapon forging shop is located here.

From a distance, Li Yuan could already hear the faint sound of iron hammering.

"Brother Liu, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a look around on my own."

At this point, Li Yuan no longer needed Liu Zheng to accompany him.

The layout here is exactly the same as that of the Blacksmith Shop in Gaoliu County, except it's a little smaller.

He first took a look around the forging room. Looking at the furnace and forging table, Li Yuan felt a sense of familiarity.

However, he did not disturb the busy blacksmiths. After watching for a while, he turned and went to the backyard.

Liu Zheng is very reliable. In the shopkeeper's courtyard, various iron materials are neatly arranged.

On the side, there were also hanging the meat, blood, bones, and internal organs of the five animals he needed...

"The forging shop has just been put on track. I'm afraid Liu Zheng owes a lot of money for collecting this batch of materials, and he won't be able to use them for the time being."

Li Yuan was very satisfied. He closed the door, moved all the things into the house, and closed the doors and windows tightly, making sure no one could see.

Then he took out the rest of the materials on the gray stone platform and put them together:
"Promotion!"

As soon as Li Yuan stretched out his hand, the neatly arranged iron, gold and silver instantly glowed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Then, he heard the familiar loud noise again.

The loud noise seemed to explode directly in his brain. Even though Li Yuan was strong at the moment, it was of no use. His eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground.

I forced myself to lie down on the bed.

hum!
Li Yuan felt an intense sense of weightlessness, as if he was falling from the sky into a bottomless abyss.

"here we go again!"

Somehow, Li Yuan felt a terrifying feeling that made his hair stand on end. The whisper after the loud noise seemed to be getting closer and clearer.

This feeling was too strong. Even after experiencing it several times, Li Yuan couldn't get used to it, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"call!"

After a while, the murmur disappeared and Li Yuan opened his eyes.

The Military Control Scroll was hanging high in the sky like a star map, with five large stars shining brightly on it. Below it, the gray stone platform doubled its size again.

"call!"

Standing on the grey stone platform, Li Yuan was in a daze. The darkness around him was like a surging tide, exuding an extremely mysterious atmosphere that made him feel a chill from the bottom of his soul.

"That loud noise, that murmur, came from the darkness?"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart, feeling a little creepy, and forced himself to divert his attention.

[Fifth-rank Military Master: Li Yuan]

[Number of weapons you can control: Five]

There were no disturbances and the promotion was successful.

Li Yuan sensed it briefly and found that the interval between changing the weapon was shortened by half again to three hours, which meant that he could change different weapons eight times a day.

This further expands the range of his possible combinations.

And besides that...

"Are there any surprises?"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

On the gray stone platform that had more than doubled in size, three incense burners, one large and two small, only took up half of the space.

At the edge of the stone platform, there suddenly appeared a huge stone stove as tall as a person, occupying the other half.

"This thing?"

Li Yuan concentrated and perceived, and the information about the stone stove slowly emerged in his mind.

[Fifth-order Divine Fire Furnace]

[With divine fire as the guide and gold and silver as the charcoal, they can turn decay into magic and unite the forces into one]

Combined furnace!
After slightly understanding the function of this furnace, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he was pleasantly surprised.

Its function is just as its name suggests, this furnace can actually bring together troops.

“With divine fire as the guide and gold and silver as the charcoal, the three weapons can be combined into one, and the rank will have a greater chance of rising?!” Li Yuan was surprised at first, but then he was overjoyed.

The weapon-controlling talisman has reached the fifth level, but the weapons he currently controls are still at the second or third level.

This is not only because the conditions for controlling the weapon are not easy to meet, but also because famous weapons above the third level are expensive and rare.

But with this combined furnace, things are very different.

Although it is limited by the weapon control talisman, the combined weapon furnace can only produce fifth-level weapons at most.
But a fifth-rank weapon is a top-grade famous weapon, and someone of Han Chuijun's status only has one.

"A top-grade sharp blade costs around 1,000 taels each, and a famous weapon costs upwards of 5,000 taels each. If you combine the three, you'll still make a lot of money!"

Li Yuan automatically ignored the higher probability, moved closer to the combined furnace, and looked at it carefully.

Even the promotion of the Military Control Scroll to the fifth level was not as attractive to him as this furnace, but...

"This divine fire?"

Li Yuan muttered in his heart: "Could it be incense?"

He moved closer to the stove, sensing the Weaponry Talisman, and vague information flooded into his mind.

"When people have thoughts, their faith will gather... The divine fire can burn all kinds of weapons. It is the most unique fire in the universe..."

Is it really incense?!
Li Yuan was shocked and a little confused. How could he collect incense, which could not be seen or touched?

"wrong?"

Li Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the three incense burners in the corner: one large and two small.
"Faiths converge, so doesn't this incense burner count as well?"

Li Yuan is blessed in heart.

hum!
Almost at the moment he had the thought, he seemed to feel wisps of green smoke coming out of the incense burner and floating into the combined furnace.

call!
In an instant, the stone furnace became brighter, and real white flames rose from it, mixed with blue.

"Is this really okay?"

Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the blue and white flames in the stone furnace, he suddenly realized:
"The color of this fire corresponds to first- and second-tier weapons, so the weapons that can be combined are only first- and second-tier. Yes, there are also weapons that are not in the first tier."

Woo~
As Li Yuan was in a daze, the flame in the stone stove gradually died down, and he suddenly woke up:
"Fill in the firewood!"

Gold and silver, Li Yuan swept the incense burner, took out the gold and silver, tentatively threw one or two taels of silver in, and the flame suddenly became bigger.

"Gold and silver for firewood, this is too extravagant..."

After a while, the flame became smaller again. Li Yuan threw another tael of silver into it, feeling a little painful.

He swept all kinds of weapons left and right, and without thinking too much, he threw three pairs of first-level Liuhe boots in.

The usage of the combining furnace is that the more similar the items are, the easier it is to combine them together.

call!
The moment the three pairs of Liuhe boots were thrown into the stone furnace, Li Yuan felt the heat wave. He quickly took a step back and threw another three taels of silver into it.

"The control effects of these three pairs of boots are exactly the same, so it should be possible!"

Looking at the stone furnace with steaming flames, Li Yuan felt a little nervous. If they couldn't be combined even though they were so similar, he really had to doubt how high the "higher probability" was...

hum!
After a while, the flame suddenly went out, and a pair of shoes were "spit out" by the vibrating combined furnace.

[Superior Liuhe Boots (Level 2)]

[With divine fire as the fuel and gold and silver as the fuel, it was forged in the combined furnace by the master of arms...]

[Control conditions: Master any one of the light body and lifting skills]

[Control effects: fast as a flying horse (blue), as easy as walking on flat ground (blue), as fast as a galloping horse (blue)]

"It's done!"

The moment he caught a glimpse of the blue light, Li Yuan was certain in his heart, but then he realized that the changes after the Weapon Control Talisman was promoted to the fifth level seemed to be more than he thought.

"The control effect is also divided into levels? This is much more intuitive. The first level is white, the second level is blue, the third level is dark blue, and the fourth level is light green..."

Li Yuan looked around and realized that the control effects of all weapons had changed.

He discovered that the same controlling effect had different colors due to the different levels of weapons.

"This is really intuitive! Well, this money is worth it!"

Li Yuan looked at all the weapons and felt satisfied.

The changes of the fifth-level weapon-control talisman are much greater than those of the fourth-level.

"There is still 'incense' in these three incense burners. I estimate that they can be lit ten times more. Hmm, is this a lot or a little?"

The incense was invisible, so Li Yuan found it difficult to get a clear idea and decided to visit other temples later.

There may not be much else in Dayun, but there are temples everywhere. There are at least forty or fifty temples of all sizes inside and outside the city.

"After these three pairs of Liuhe boots are combined into one, there is also an additional control condition. However, it seems to be much lower than the ordinary second-level..."

Li Yuan keenly sensed the benefits.

In the past two years, he has handled and seen hundreds or even thousands of weapons, and has a general understanding of the requirements for controlling each weapon.

Normally, to wield a complete second-level weapon, one must have at least mastered a martial art.

"Try the effect!"

Li Yuan didn't hesitate and threw his shoes up. The moment the military talisman glowed, he opened his eyes.

boom!
Li Yuan lifted his foot lightly, without even using any strength, and pushed open the house and came to the yard.

"These boots are better than the previous three pairs combined!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up as he moved around in the yard.

I just felt the wind under my feet, and my movements were indescribably light and nimble. With one point of effort, I could produce one-third of the usual effect.

In the yard, Li Yuan tried again and again and was in a good mood.

The appearance of the combined weapons furnace gave him a huge surprise. As long as he had enough incense, gold, silver, and similar weapons, it would not be impossible for him to control five famous weapons, even top-grade ones.

After all, although famous weapons are rare, there are enough sharp blades and high-quality blades.

"If I could control five top-grade famous hammers..."

As his thoughts wandered, Li Yuan felt his heart surge, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

He thought of the heavy armor of the Divine Guards. There were as many as three hundred sets of heavy armor in the Divine Weapon Valley!
"Three hundred pieces of standard heavy armor!"

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Yuan wanted to go to the various places of the Divine Guard Army immediately.

The Divine Guards not only have standard heavy armor, but also standard longbows and standard swords...

"calm down……"

He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and it took him a long time to calm down.

……

"Disciple Li Yuan, please pray to heaven for blessings!"

Inside the hut, Li Yuan bowed again and again, using the blood, meat, bones and internal organs of the five animals.

Every time he was promoted to the rank of Military Officer, he would offer sacrifices to the heavens, but there was no response.

"Is level five not enough?"

Li Yuan felt a little regretful, but then he thought he was too greedy. The surprise this combined furnace gave him was already big enough.

only……

"The materials needed to upgrade the Military Control Scroll to the sixth level have skyrocketed in price."

Li Yuan felt a little annoyed.

Ten thousand pounds of refined steel, one thousand pounds of cold iron, thirty thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels of gold, one hundred taels of pure gold, and two taels of refined gold.

"If I sell all the rewards for the true teachings, do you think I can get enough?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Li Yuan dismissed it.

He dared to sell the things bestowed by the Divine Weapon Valley, but no one dared to buy them.

"I'm still poor. If I had Old Han's wealth, I could immediately reach the sixth level, right?"

Li Yuan was thinking about how to make money, and also, pure gold.

Refined gold is a rare material refined from gold and red gold and is used to cast top-grade and top-quality famous artifacts.

"There is refined gold in the Weapon Casting Valley. Fortunately, fortunately..."

Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

After the failure of the sacrifice to heaven, he had no intention of staying any longer and stuffed the remaining gold and silver on him to Liu Zheng, asking him to buy some elixirs.

He called a carriage for himself, and without even eating, he hurried back to the mountain and headed straight for the Weapon Casting Valley.
