Chapter 141 Jing Shuhu's Shock
Chapter 141 Jing Shuhu's Shock
Gifted!
Jing Shuhu was so shocked that he almost broke his fingers while trying not to lose color.
He has an excellent talent, which is unmatched in the Weapon Casting Valley for hundreds of years. However, when he first came into contact with the weapon casting technique, it took him half a year to get the hang of it.
a month...
"Starting in January, good, good, good! Good, hahahaha!"
Lei Jingchuan wanted to hold back, but after weighing the piece of iron, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, completely ignoring the look from his senior brother.
He really couldn't help it.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley with dragon-shaped or great dragon-shaped roots.
But if there are truly gifted disciples, they will definitely focus on martial arts. How many of them would be willing to go into this dark underground place to forge iron?
Besides, one can judge one's talent for martial arts from one's bones. Forging iron requires real hard work.
"Talent is the ladder to transcend the rules!"
Seeing Lei Jingchuan laughing out loud, Li Yuan felt certain in his heart that learning Bingjia's spiritualism was a sure thing.
He had a lot of experience in coaxing old men, and he knew very well that in order to break the rules, he had to learn the complete method of forging weapons, and the breakthrough lay in Lei Jingchuan, the old man with a bad temper.
Instead of Jing Shuhu...
"Disciple, it's a fluke."
Li Yuan bowed.
Lei Jingchuan's face was flushed and he was in a good mood. All the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out.
He was shocked and satisfied. He even wanted to find a son-in-law if he didn't have a daughter.
"It's only been a month, and you've mastered the art of forging weapons. You're better than me, better than..."
"Junior brother!"
Jing Shuhu frowned and coughed lightly, feeling unhappy.
Even if he has good talent, it is really inappropriate for him to be the third elder of Weapon Casting Valley.
Lei Jingchuan didn't even look at him. He patted Li Yuan's shoulder heavily, looking quite radiant:
"I will teach you the art of forging weapons step by step. Come, become my disciple..."
"boom!"
Jing Shuhu couldn't help himself and slapped Lei Jingchuan so hard that he staggered and his beard flew up:
"You have such a limited skill, and you still want to teach others?!"
He was annoyed.
The more talented the disciple, the more carefully he needs to be taught so that he can become a great man. He had just thought of a bunch of tests in his mind.
As soon as Lei Jingchuan said this, he was instantly in trouble.
"Old thing!"
Lei Jingchuan was furious and hit back: "How dare you insult me?!"
boom!
The air waves surged and the smoke and dust flew.
The blacksmiths had never expected this to happen. They were all covered in dust and dirt, and it took them a while before they remembered to stop the fight.
"Master, Great Elder, please stop fighting."
Niu Jun came back to his senses, and the shock and envy in his heart almost overflowed.
In all his life, he had never seen a sect elder fight to snatch a disciple. No, he had never even heard of it.
"Elder..."
All the blacksmiths were in a panic, as they had never seen such a scene before. Someone stepped forward to stop the fight but was blown to the ground by the strong wind.
More people retreated again and again, feeling their eyes sore and red.
What kind of treatment is this?
They never dreamed of it!
boom!
boom!
Smoke and dust spread everywhere as two old guys, who were nearly 200 years old in total, fought each other with such violent force that everyone retreated dozens of meters away.
"You'll get stronger when you get older."
Li Yuan stood there watching, shocked.
Of course, the two didn't really fight each other, but every move they made was extremely powerful. Among the people he had seen, his physique was probably second only to Ba Wanli.
And Han Chuijun, whose depth he couldn't figure out.
Bang!
Not long after, Lei Jingchuan staggered back, taking one step at a time, and almost knocked down the chimney.
"enough!"
Jing Shuhu waved his sleeves with great energy, glanced at the blacksmiths around him, and became furious:
"What are you looking at? Go do what you need to do! Increase today's workload by 30%! You are not allowed to leave until the task is completed!"
His old face turned black and he glared at Lei Jingchuan fiercely. How could he embarrass himself at such an old age?
"what?"
The blacksmiths who were watching the fun were stunned. They glanced at Li Yuan with resentment and returned to the forging table.
Soon, the sound of blacksmithing could be heard again.
"Follow me!"
Jing Shuhu turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
The anger on Lei Jingchuan's face was immediately swept away. He patted Li Yuan and smiled: "Go, I'll wait for your good news."
"Thank you, elder!"
Li Yuan bowed solemnly, feeling grateful.
"I will wait for the day when you can create a magic weapon, then..."
Lei Jingchuan waved his hand:
"Forget it, just study hard."
"Disciple, please remember this."
Li Yuan bowed, then turned around and quickly caught up with Jing Shuhu.
……
"Call me!"
In the Chirong Cave, Jing Shuhu stood with his hands behind his back, his face as gloomy as water.
"Yes!"
Li Yuan took a deep breath, adjusting to the high temperature here, and his blood circulation finally felt better.
He picked up the forging hammer without reservation and started with a heavy hammer.
when!
The moment the hammer sounded, Jing Shuhu's expression changed.
The layman listens to the sound, while the expert sees the doorway.
The force of this hammer was full, yet condensed and harmonious. All the strength was released in one place without any leakage.
It is evenly spread out, which is equivalent to hammering an entire iron ingot.
This is the sound that can only be produced by someone who has achieved considerable accomplishments in hammering and forging.
Bang!
Li Yuan used all his strength to strike the hammer, and each time he struck the hammer, it seemed ordinary, but in fact it contained the power techniques of other martial arts such as Cloak Hammer and Fighting Hammer.
In the process of changing his constitution, his mastery of various sword-fighting techniques also continued to deepen.
The sword techniques, knife techniques, hammer techniques, stick techniques, and even the power-generating techniques of fist and palm martial arts gradually became unified in his hands.
Directly mastering the fundamentals to develop strength is like learning to solve a problem by looking at the answer. Naturally, your progress will be far beyond that of ordinary people.
Soon, Li Yuan was immersed in the sound of blacksmithing. As the hammer rose and fell, his qi, blood and internal strength circulated and poured into his body.
"I only reached this level when I was thirty..."
Jing Shuhu's expression changed several times, his mind was filled with mixed thoughts of joy, excitement, and annoyance.
Why would such a talented genius be Han Chuijun's disciple?
If he was my disciple...
Ding!
After a long time, a crisp explosion was heard.
Jing Shuhu just came back to his senses, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, reached out to grab the red-hot iron ingot, and weighed it:
“I’ve definitely gotten started.”
It's not a coincidence, but a real mastery!
Li Yuan put down the forging hammer and lowered his head slightly.
These days, he also found out about the grudge between Jing Shuhu and Han Chuijun.
More than sixty years ago, the two of them were true disciples of the same batch. Both used hammer weapons, had great talents, and had a close relationship. They were once called the 'Divine Weapon Twin Hammers'.
It was not until later, the death of another true disciple, that the two turned against each other.
The true disciple who died fifty years ago was a female disciple, and she and Jing Shuhu were almost at the stage of discussing marriage.
"If it was just a misunderstanding, the two of them would not have turned against each other. I'm afraid that the true disciple was really killed by Old Han..."
"One month to get started with the art of forging weapons."
Jing Shuhu suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Li Yuan on the shoulder with lightning speed.
hum!
Li Yuan felt his entire body tremble, as if his blood and internal strength were instantly frozen, and his muscles and bones were crackling.
"Eleven forms!" After a moment, Jing Shuhu put down his hands:
"What shape were you born in?"
Li Yuan didn't even raise his head: "Nine forms."
"Nine forms born, plus the cloak hammer technique is perfect?"
"Yes!"
"is it?"
"Yes."
"Ha~"
Jing Shuhu did not comment, looked at him deeply, and did not ask any more questions, but asked:
"With such a strong character and talent, you should have focused on martial arts training. Why did you choose to learn the art of forging weapons?"
"I am a blacksmith by birth, and I admire the art of forging weapons..."
"okay!"
Jing Shuhu looked displeased.
This kid's personality is exactly like Han Chuijun's, he would never tell the truth.
However, seeing that he was very respectful, Jing Shuhu was somewhat relieved. If he really had the temper of Han Chuijun,
Even if he died, he would never teach this kid the art of forging weapons.
"The weapon-casting method is the secret of our Divine Weapon Valley and is also the foundation of our existence."
Jing Shuhu spoke.
Li Yuan felt relieved, knowing that he had passed the test, and his attitude became more respectful.
"But the ancestor believes that martial arts is the real foundation of life. Without strong enough martial arts, even if you can create a magic weapon, you can't protect it..."
Jing Shuhu paced with his back to Li Yuan and talked about the inheritance history of the weapon-casting method.
"That's true, but the fact that the Divine Weapon Valley can't produce a divine weapon is probably the real reason for its decline..."
Li Yuan listened quietly and thought in his heart.
More than a thousand years ago, the Divine Weapon Valley was a major sect that could govern an entire state, and its strength, influence, and connections surpassed those of the Huailong Palace in Huizhou.
A sect that can consistently create magical weapons has a network of connections that is incomparable to that of ordinary sects.
But the Divine Weapon Valley hasn't created a divine weapon in seven hundred years...
"...The appeal of the five inner sect secrets is far greater than that of the weapon-casting method. Over time, it naturally declined."
Jing Shuhu sighed.
He briefly described the rise and fall of the Art of Casting Arms, then turned around and looked at Li Yuan solemnly:
"The art of forging weapons is difficult to learn, and even more difficult to master. I have been forging iron for more than 60 years, but I still cannot say that I have fully understood the secrets. If you really want to learn it, it will definitely affect your other martial arts."
"The disciple understands."
Li Yuan didn't hesitate.
Even without the 'Divine Fire Weapon Furnace', he would never give up blacksmithing, as the Art of War was the foundation of his life.
"You have eleven dragon-shaped bones, and your natural comprehension is excellent. In the past hundred years in Divine Weapon Valley, the only ones with better talents than you are Han Chuijun and the Valley Master."
Jing Shuhu said in a deep voice:
"As long as you don't violate the sect's rules and don't kill your fellow disciples, you will definitely be the first elder of the inner sect in the future, second only to one person and above millions of people."
"The Art of Weapon Forging, do you really want to learn it?"
Jing Shuhu explained the interests involved.
"Disciple is willing to learn!"
Li Yuan answered, still without hesitation.
He was sweating profusely. The temperature in the Chirong Cave seemed to be even higher than before. He didn't eat the spirit fish today, so he really couldn't bear it.
"it is good."
Jing Shuhu said no more:
"Starting tomorrow, come here every afternoon and I will teach you the Hammering Technique... and the Armor and Armor Spiritualization Technique."
"Yes!"
Li Yuan bowed deeply.
Ever since the fire vein vibrated that day, the Chirong Cave has been sealed off, and except for the three elders of the Weapon Casting Valley, no outsiders are allowed to enter.
This is one of the reasons why he wants to team up with Jing Shuhu.
When leaving, Li Yuan looked at the end of Chirong Cave reluctantly: "Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer."
You'll get it sooner or later!
……
……
In the following days, Li Yuan's life became more fulfilling and busy.
Every day before dawn, he gets up and practices standing and hammering, as well as martial arts such as Mang Niu Gong. After breakfast, he goes to the Weapon Casting Valley to repair the various weapons he has taken over.
In the afternoon, we went to Chirong Cave to learn how to forge weapons.
Jing Shuhu agreed to teach him the art of forging weapons personally, but most of the time it was Lei Jingchuan who took him with him and taught him some tricks that were not recorded in books.
Jing Shuhu would come every few days to test his progress and teach him different techniques.
Li Yuan discovered that the great elder of the Weapon Casting Valley had a very deep understanding of weapon casting techniques and was always able to point out his shortcomings.
"Listen to the breathing and rhythm!"
"Iron is dead, man is alive, your breath is its breath!"
"Your Qi and blood are its meridians. Bring it to life. This is how you forge a weapon, not how you forge iron!"
……
In the Chirong Cave, Jing Shuhu kept scolding, and his harshness made Lei Jingchuan annoyed many times.
Li Yuan didn't care.
He had heard the most unpleasant words, so this was nothing to him.
“Breathe, move!”
The sound of hammers rose and fell. Li Yuan was highly concentrated, using the five forging hammers in his hands to digest Jing Shuhu's instructions.
The progress of the military forging technique is rapidly improving.
"There are countless kinds of precious iron materials in the world, each with its own characteristics, some are tough, some are sharp, some can withstand high temperatures, and some are not easy to wear..."
"What is a sharp blade? A blade that can use one characteristic to its limit is a top-grade sharp blade. However, a famous weapon must have at least two or more characteristics!"
"An ordinary blacksmith can only forge a famous weapon when he has a flash of inspiration, but if you master the art of forging weapons, everything you forge will be a famous weapon!"
……
In the Chirong Cave, Jing Shuhu paced back and forth, pointing and scolding.
Lei Jingchuan, who was standing aside, had a frown on his face, thinking that the old man was taking the opportunity to take revenge. This kind of demanding requirement was far more stringent than what he and others had experienced when they were learning skills.
when!when!when!
Li Yuan's naked upper body skin was red, and the sweat that flowed out evaporated before it hit the ground.
He breathed rapidly and in small gulps, hammering up and down, meticulously fulfilling all of Jing Shuhu's requirements.
Five forging hammers and twenty-two control effects related to hammering, forging, and weapon casting allowed him to improve at an astonishing speed.
"Add one more!"
Jing Shuhu's eyelids twitched from time to time.
Li Yuan's feet shook, and another kind of iron flew onto the forging table. Under the high heat and hammering, it merged with the first kind of iron.
The temperature of the fire veins under the Chirong Cave was extremely high. The forging table in front of him was like a small crater, extremely hot.
'This boy...'
Jing Shuhu scolded:
"Plus!"
"Plus!"
The sound of hammering never stopped. The forging hammer in Li Yuan's hand seemed to have life, fast and agile.
After being scolded by Shuhu, he started from striking with a bunch of iron materials, and then he struck with several kinds of iron materials.
Later, he even beat together more than a dozen kinds of iron materials, making them blend harmoniously without any conflict.
boom!
When Li Yuan put down the forging hammer, his whole body looked like red-hot iron carbon, constantly emitting green smoke.
Lei Jingchuan was startled and quickly caught him and threw him into an iron vat filled with cold pond water.
Two heavens of ice and fire!
Li Yuan clenched his teeth and finally let out a sigh of relief after a while.
Looking at the dazed Jing Shuhu, his mind wandered:
"The method of forging weapons is not simply piling up iron materials, but to gather the characteristics of various iron materials together and finally forge a weapon with all the characteristics!"
So, can the control effect of the formed weapon be transferred?
