Chapter 236: The Grandmaster Appears?

Chapter 236: The Grandmaster Appears? (Two in One)

"Using the divine fire as a guide, and the treasures of the earth and natural materials as a supplement, transform decay into magic." This was the thought that naturally emerged in Li Yuan's mind when he touched the divine fire forging platform.

Repairing weapons and strengthening them is his own understanding.

"The divine patterns are contained in the natural treasures. By forging them with divine fire, one can absorb the divine patterns and arrange them into a formation, thus transforming decay into magic..."

Divine patterns and arrays transform decay into magic.

The information obtained from the Divine Fire Forging Platform was extremely mysterious, but as far as Li Yuan understood it, this was roughly what it meant.

"Combining forces and strengthening them, wow, the Grandmaster is really cool..."

Li Yuan pondered for a while and took out a pair of third-level "Liuhe Boots".

The blessing effect is the third level of walking as fast as flying, walking as if on flat ground, as fast as a galloping horse, and as swift as an eagle.

Most boots are related to body movements and are pretty much the same.

"Well, let's try the double-level ones first..."

Li Yuan thought about it and decided to take out a pair of Liuhe boots that were left after the fusion of the troops. The control effect of the boots was only the non-grade "brisk steps".

A wisp of pale white incense also floated over and sank into the Divine Fire Weapon Forging Platform.

"Natural treasures, gold and silver count, right?"

Li Yuan didn't feel bad about the low-grade boots, so he threw them in along with a handful of change.

Woo!
The flames on the forging platform suddenly jumped up high and then went out.

"What's changed?"

Li Yuan moved closer and saw a pair of boots emitting a bright white light. The grade was still not high enough, and the control effect of the boots was not changed much.

"Incompatible?"

Li Yuan frowned inwardly and took out a long sword that was not of the highest grade.

hum!
The flame goes out.

【Iron Sword (Not Ranked)】

[Control conditions: None]

[Control Effect: Not Entered (Gray): Mastery of Mowing Sword Technique]

[Features: First-order feature (white): Sharp]

Sharp!

In the cabin, Li Yuan opened his eyes, spread out his five fingers, and grasped the long iron sword in his palm.

"characteristic……"

Li Yuan chewed on this word, then took out a long sword of the same grade, holding one in each hand, and touched them lightly.

Click~
Li Yuan had a good grasp of the strength. With the same amount of strength, the reinforced sword remained intact, but the unreinforced one was cut in half.

"Is this what sharpness is? But the characteristics of silver have nothing to do with sharpness..."

Li Yuan was a little surprised.

He was an expert in weapon forging, and with just one look at the two low-grade swords, he knew that the grade and material of the two swords were almost the same, but the one that had been strengthened easily cut off the other.

"Can this characteristic also be controlled and blessed?"

Li Yuan changed his mind and threw the long iron sword into the weapon-control talisman.

Woo!
Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly. The blessing of the low-grade weapon was already insignificant to him now, but he could naturally sense it with careful perception.

He paid no attention to the broken grass-cutting sword technique, but just stretched out his palm, sensing the blessing of 'sharpness'.

"There is no change... The characteristics only exist in the weapon. Even if I control it, it will not bless me."

Li Yuan sensed it for a long time, but did not draw any conclusions easily. Instead, he entered the military control space again and made several attempts.

"Silver, cold iron, and tempered steel can only 'strengthen' weapons. Among them, swords have the best effect, clubs and hammers are slightly weaker, and boots are completely unaffected..."

"For reinforcements like silver and iron, most are sharp, a few are tough, a very small number are strong, and the least are wear-resistant."

"Gold is versatile. It can be used to 'strengthen' all weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, sticks, axes, sickles, and even boots..."

"Metals such as gold, silver, copper and iron are indeed considered natural treasures, but they seem to be of very low quality..."

"The incense is not enough, these three pairs of fifth-level boots cannot be strengthened, what a pity..."

……

Li Yuan's ability to act was amazing. In a short while, he had tried nearly a hundred times, trying all kinds of weapons, and finally came to a conclusion.

The strengthening of the weapon forging platform is limited to the weapon itself. Even if you control it, it will not benefit yourself.

"Well, it's okay, right?"

In the cabin, Li Yuan was playing with a pair of brand new "Liuhe Boots".

[Features: Level 3 Feature (Dark Blue): Light and Agile]

"Although the characteristics cannot be enhanced by palm control, I can wear it!"

Li Yuan muttered to himself, and put on the boots. He felt his feet light and brisk, as if there was a cloud under his feet, soft and soft, a kind of...

"Feeling like stepping on shit?"

Li Yuan took two steps back and forth, feeling the light and agile properties.

"The light and agile characteristics of the third stage are equivalent to two, no, at least three lower-level light skills, which are almost the same as the control effect of the third stage..."

Li Yuan's qi, blood and internal strength circulate throughout his body, and he can keenly perceive even the slightest changes.

Over the years, as he has wielded more and more weapons, he has gained a deeper understanding of the Weapon Control Sutra.

Taking boots as an example, mastering a pair of first-level boots is like mastering a lower-level light skill to perfection. The third level is at least equivalent to mastering three lower-level light skills to perfection.

The fourth stage is at least equivalent to the great perfection of the nine lower levels of lightness skills, or even more.

"Is this equivalent to having one more person to control? No, boots, gloves, inner armor, outer robe, bone ornaments, belt... well, if you dress up, wouldn't it be equivalent to having six or seven more weapons under your control?"

Although he knew that this conversion was not possible, Li Yuan was still excited. Although at present, a weapon only had one characteristic, it might be possible to add more in the future.

If a weapon has three or more characteristics, it is truly worthy of a place in the Master's arsenal.

Although this Divine Fire Forging Platform is not the forging platform he guessed, it seems better?

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Although he knew it was not that simple, Li Yuan was still very satisfied. If there was no effect after spending so much gold and silver, he would really vomit blood.

"The only concern is, if these boots fall into the hands of other people, will they also have the same special features?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

The control effect of various items and weapons. If he does not control them, there will be no blessing effect when wearing them, but this feature directly acts on the weapons.

He had already confirmed this from the previous collision of the two iron swords.

"Um……"

Li Yuan turned his head and looked at the little mouse lying on the bed with a listless face.

"squeak?"

Sensing Li Yuan's gaze, the little creature suddenly startled, but before it could utter a second cry, it was caught in Li Yuan's hand.

……

Li Yuan was in a state of excitement for the whole night, constantly trying, and only stopped when all the gold and silver on his body, as well as the collected animal skins and bones, were used up.

Most of the incense below the third level has also been consumed.

After tinkering with it all night, he actually produced two good things.

[Grim Ape Bone Ring (Level 3)]

[Control Condition: Ape Form]

[Control Effect: Level 3 (Dark Blue): Concentrate and Calm Your Mind]

[Features: Level 3 (dark blue): sharp hearing and sharp eyes]

【Yellow Earth Ivory Brass Knuckles (Level 3)

[Control conditions: the shape of a spiritual elephant]

[Control Effect: Level 3 (Dark Blue): Calm and Unmovable]

[Features: Level 3 (dark blue): calming and stable]

A brass knuckle and a bone ring.

When Li Yuan put it on his hand, he immediately felt the excitement in his heart dissipate, and his whole body calmed down. He felt as if his mind was soaked in cold water, and his thoughts worked much faster.

"nice one!"

Li Yuan turned his finger lightly towards the tiger. Although he had not slept all night, he felt refreshed.

That night, he tried to combine various metals, irons and weapons to strengthen the weapons, and even used the skins and bones of spiritual beasts.

I have gained a preliminary understanding of the Divine Fire Forging Platform.

"Enhanced weapons can only be worn to take effect, and they can also take effect when worn by Little Mouse. The advantage is that there is no need for control conditions, and it seems that you can wear multiple pieces..."

Looking at the brass knuckles and ring on his left hand, Li Yuan was in a very good mood. The function of this forging platform was no less than that of a combining furnace. It was of great use to him.

The same trouble is incense...

"I'm afraid only the Evil God Cult and the Imperial Court have incense above the fifth level?"

Li Yuan sat cross-legged, gently turned his fingers to the tiger, his thoughts diverged much faster than before, with a slight sense, his visualization became more agile.

He sorted out his harvest.

Outside the Divine Fire Forging Platform, after his Weapon Control Scroll was promoted to the seventh level, he could wield seven weapons at the same time. At the same time, the distance of his perception of the weapons' light doubled again, and within a radius of eighty meters, he could detect them with a little concentration.

At the same time, the time for replacing the steering wheel has been reduced to less than one hour.

"call!"

After a long time, Li Yuan finally stood up, took out the blood and meat of the five spiritual animals, and prepared for the ceremony of granting the ordination from heaven.

He would do this every time after being promoted to the rank of Military Commander.

He was very skilled in hanging the meat of the five animals in the five directions, and sprinkled the blood of the five animals according to the directions. Then he stepped on the four directions, muttering in his heart:

"Disciple Li Yuan..."

Li Yuan walked slowly in the cabin, slowly passing through all four directions, with his long sleeves hanging down to the ground, and bowed deeply:
"Disciple Li Yuan, please pray to heaven for blessings!"

quiet!
Li Yuan maintained his bowing posture, but received no response for a long time.

"Isn't it still possible?"

He felt a little disappointed, thinking that maybe the rank of his Military Control Scroll was not high enough, but just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a long and loud buzzing sound.

hum! ! !
Li Yuan's body and mind trembled, and surprise appeared in his eyes:
"Yes, there is a response!"

Li Yuan, who had not held much hope, could not help but feel his heart beating faster even though he was trembling all over due to the loud noise and felt a surge of fear.

Chi Chi Chi!
This time, he felt it even more clearly than the last time. A loud noise rumbled in his heart. The flesh and blood of the spiritual animals around him seemed to be burned by flames, quickly vaporizing and thick smoke billowed.

hum!
But soon, Li Yuan realized something was wrong. The loud noise in his heart gradually became smaller, and the smoke around him also dissipated.

"Do not……"

Li Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a trace of ash. He looked around and found that the flesh and blood of the spiritual animal had all vaporized and disappeared, and even the smell of burning had disappeared.

"Gan!"

Master Li Dao immediately jumped up and down, feeling extremely annoyed, unable to suppress his anger:

"The quality of the sacrifice is not high enough..."

Taking a deep breath to suppress the annoyance in his heart, Li Yuan's temples were throbbing. This was because he was too excited, causing his blood to rush faster.

It took him a while to calm down. There was no trace of anything in the cabin. He sensed the space for holding weapons. The darkness around him was surging like a tide. A dim light appeared on the talisman for holding weapons, but no new talismans appeared.

“Almost… the flesh and blood of the five spiritual animals is not enough, but the ceremony of the heavenly bestowal is correct, and the ancestor really responded!”

Li Yuan opened the window. The river breeze in the early morning was slightly chilly, and his frown relaxed. Although he was upset by the failure, the ritual had a response, proving that what he had thought before was correct. The Heaven-granted Scroll was not the only one. It was only because the level of the Military Control Scroll was too low.

Now, the level of the blood of the five spiritual animals is too low.

"If the blood of the five spiritual animals is not enough..."

Li Yuan walked out of the cabin.

The dock was shrouded in fog in the early morning, and a group of sailors were shuttling between the ships.

Li Yuan quickly got off the boat, entered the city, and soon arrived at Yunshu Tower.

The layout of the Yunshu Tower in each mansion is similar. After entering the hall, there are various exhibition stands with elixirs, weapons and other items on display. The most numerous are of course various lists and intelligence.

"Sir, what do you want?"

As soon as Li Yuan came in, a waiter came to greet him.

"Is there a complete list of spiritual beasts? The more detailed the better."

Li Yuan asked.

"Spiritual beast?"

The guy thought for a moment and asked, "I do have details, but how detailed do you want?"

"The more detailed the better. Money is not a problem."

"Got it!"

The guy immediately smiled happily, trotted to the second floor, and soon came down with two thick booklets.

"These two books, one is the Changlin Mansion Hundred Beasts List, and this one is the Huizhou Thousand Beasts List. They record in detail the information of spirit beasts of various grades and their habitats..."

"Ah."

Li Yuan took it casually and flipped through the catalog, which recorded many kinds of spiritual beasts.

"Any more details?"

"This……"

The guy was slightly startled, said "wait a moment", then quickly went to the second floor. Soon, an old man with a goatee came downstairs and greeted him.

"Could it be that this guest wants the Hengshan Ten Thousand Beasts List?"

The old man revealed his identity, saying that he was the third manager of Yunshu Tower and his surname was Liu.

"Ah."

Li Yuan nodded.

"We do have the Hengshan Ten Thousand Beasts List, but..."

The old man looked at Li Yuan and asked, "May I ask where this young man comes from?"

Yunshu Tower has a lot of rules. The higher the level of intelligence, the higher the identity required, but even the Spirit Beast Ranking requires it?
Li Yuan frowned slightly, but still took out the Dragon and Tiger Elder Order.

"This is?"

The shopkeeper Liu was obviously an expert in the business. After taking a look, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly returned the token and bowed to invite Li Yuan to the second floor.

Many people on the first floor were surprised when they saw this scene.

Yunshu Building has a second floor, but not everyone can go up to this second floor.

"Wait a moment, young man."

After going up to the second floor, there was a pretty maid serving him. Manager Liu personally served him tea and then he went into the house.

So troublesome?

Li Yuan shook his head in his heart and looked around while waiting. There were also display cabinets on the second floor of Yunshu Building. He glanced at them and saw quite a few famous instruments, but that was all.

Yunshulou’s main business is still selling intelligence.

Soon, Shopkeeper Liu came over with a thick booklet:

"Young Master Li, this is the Hengshan Ten Thousand Beasts List, which records all the spiritual beasts in the various states, prefectures, and counties of Hengshan. Even those that have appeared before are all in the book..."

So you know my identity now?
Li Yuan was not surprised. After all, the Breaking Waves ship was such a big target that it could not be hidden from anyone. He reached out and took the booklet: "How much is it?"

"What did Young Master Li say?"

Shopkeeper Liu bowed and smiled apologetically: "It's just a list of spiritual beasts. If I accept your money, I'm afraid the owner of the building will blame me if he finds out."

"Thank you very much."

Li Yuan was not polite and opened the booklet right away.

The details of the Ten Thousand Beasts List were far greater than the Hundred Beasts List he had obtained before. The table of contents alone was more than thirty pages long and extremely detailed.

"My host divides the world's spiritual beasts into three levels. All creatures, whether flying in the sky or swimming in the water, are within the third level."

Shopkeeper Liu was very friendly and explained softly:

"The price of a thousand taels of gold is just as the name suggests. The price of a spiritual beast in this tier is mostly within the range of one thousand taels of gold. Even if it is very old and heavy, it will not exceed ten thousand taels of gold. The vast majority of spiritual beasts on the market are in this tier."

“…Very fitting.”

Li Yuan's mouth twitched.

There are many kinds of spiritual beasts at the first level worth a thousand gold. Li Yuan flipped through them and found that the red dragon fish was also in this level. However, the red dragon fish king was at the second level, worth ten thousand gold.

The price of any red dragon fish king is at least ten thousand taels of gold.

“Although there are some ferocious spirit beasts at the Thousand Gold level, those who change their form can handle them. However, spirit beasts at the Ten Thousand Gold level are all extremely ferocious. Any one of them is the king of spirit beasts. A great master who has achieved success in refining internal organs may be killed by the spirit beasts if he is not careful…”

Shopkeeper Liu said.

Wanjin's spiritual beasts are very spiritual and extremely ferocious. They are rare in Huizhou and are often found in deep mountains, old forests, and dangerous places.
Or, it could be the mountain gate of a large sect, such as the Red Dragon Fish King in the Divine Weapon Valley, the Two-headed Poisonous Python King in the Fire Dragon Mouth strange land of Dechang Prefecture, and the Double-winged Thunder Dog King in the Wind and Thunder Valley of Pingshan Prefecture.

These are all recorded ferocious beasts that have killed masters of organ refining.

“It’s really fierce.”

Li Yuan nodded, thinking of the Red Dragon Fish King in the cold pond. That was a ferocious beast that could withstand Lao Han's hammer and remain unkilled, and it traveled in groups.

He found out later that the one who had fought with the group of red dragon fish kings in the cold pond was the Huizhou Hall Master of the Evil God Cult, Baili Jingchuan, a master who had achieved great success in marrow refining.

Li Yuan flipped through the catalog and soon found the five kings of spiritual beasts corresponding to the five animals among the ten thousand gold.

"The third level, my host calls it 'priceless spirit beast'. These spirit beasts are almost non-existent in the world. Even if there are, they are in extremely dangerous places that even masters dare not easily set foot in."

Shopkeeper Liu saw Li Yuan out the door with a very good attitude. He not only gave Li Yuan the Ten Thousand Beasts List, but also a lot of Hengshan Dao Lists.

Such as the 'Hengshan Talent List' and the 'Dragon and Tiger Prodigy List'.

"This Yun Shulou really knows how to control human nature..."

Li Yuan returned with a full load and felt deeply moved.

The fight in the martial arts world is all about fame and fortune. Information that no one cares about is stuffed into all kinds of messy lists. Not only does the price skyrocket, but there is also no shortage of sales.

Even he was somewhat interested in these two lists.

However, he just flipped through it casually, as he was most concerned about the Spirit Beast List.

"If ordinary spirit beasts are not enough, then at least we need spirit beast kings. But these monsters are not easy to deal with..."

Li Yuan returned to the Breaking Waves ship and browsed through the List of Ten Thousand Beasts in his room.

There are many rules in Yunshu Tower, but the information is very detailed, and the information of various spiritual beasts is very complete, not only marking their habitats, but also their various deeds.

"The two-winged Thunder Dog King from the Wind and Thunder Valley in Pingshan Prefecture is ranked fifty-seventh on the Hengshan Ten Thousand Beasts List. It has a ferocious temperament and runs as fast as the wind. It also has two wings and can fly a hundred feet in a single leap. Only a master can capture it..."

"In the past three hundred years, dozens of people have died in his mouth, including many famous masters from Huizhou. The head of the Fire Dragon Temple once died in the Wind and Thunder Valley..."

……

Li Yuan was flipping through it.

The five animals, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens, or elk, deer, roe deer, wolves, and rabbits, are not very rare animals and are naturally on the list.

But it is not easy to get it.

For example, the Double-Winged Thunder Dog King lives in Fenglei Valley, which is one of the three strange places in Huizhou. It is accompanied by wind, thunder and lightning all year round. The strange place itself is very dangerous.

But the thunder dogs live in groups.

The other types are also not easy to deal with. They are either in remote areas or kept in captivity in major sects.

"The White Sandalwood Spirit Sheep King and the Spirit Fire Bull King are both in the Dragon and Tiger Temple. This is good news..."

Li Yuan closed the list of spiritual beasts and frowned slightly.

There are many spiritual beasts kept in the Longhu Temple, not only these two kings of spiritual beasts, but also the dragon and the white tiger, but the latter two are not among the five animals.

"It's not easy to collect it by yourself, and it's not easy to buy it if you buy it."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

The reason why spiritual beasts are called spiritual beasts instead of fierce beasts is that there are not many of them. The spiritual beast kings of the "Ten Thousand Gold" level are especially rare. Yun Shulou said that they are worth ten thousand gold, but they are often out of stock.

Whenever it appears, it usually ends up in Longhu Temple.

The bones and blood of the spirit beast king are excellent materials for refining elixirs.

"call!"

After a long while, Li Yuan yawned, feeling tired, he closed the doors and windows and took a nap.

In his dream, he heard the loud noise again, and dreamed that he was given a new certificate...

……

……

The Pingjiang Grand Canal runs through various provinces and prefectures, but it is divided into three main veins, and none of them intersect before finally flowing east into the sea.

After passing through Changlin Prefecture and arriving at Youzhou, Li Yuan and others had no choice but to get off the boat and travel by land.

“It’s better to keep your feet on the ground!”

On the shore, looking at the returning wave-breaking ship, some people were reluctant to leave, while others were relieved. The ship had been bumpy for more than a month, which was really unbearable for many landlubbers.

Feng Zhong was already looking at the map, and it took a while before he looked up:

"There is a post station thirty miles to the east. Let's go there and rest for a while. Tomorrow we can find a small town and buy some horses or carriages and then continue our journey!"

The rest of the people naturally had no objection and followed him east.

"Stop barking."

Li Yuan frowned slightly and put the little mouse in his arms. Since getting off the boat, this little thing might have not seen the soil for too long, and it wanted to dig a hole like crazy...

"Squeak!"

"Eat yours!"

Li Yuan had no choice but to stuff a pill into it.

Everyone walked very fast, and before it got dark they could see the post station in the distance.

“This post station is so big?”

Liu Zheng put his hands on the pergola.

As they got closer, everyone was a little surprised. The post station occupied a large area, with high walls and a large courtyard. There were two stone lions squatting outside the gate. It was more like a manor of a wealthy family than a post station.

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the old man Feng Zhongyi.

"Maybe there are some mistakes in the map?"

He had frowned slightly in the wind, but suddenly stopped talking. The gate of the manor opened and a servant dressed as a servant poked his head out.

……

……

ps: Happy New Year in advance, and ask for two guaranteed monthly tickets, big guys.
