Chapter 295 Wanchuan's Shock
Chapter 295 Wanchuan's Shock
There are so many treasures in Baishou Mountain?
Li Yuan remembered it in his heart, thinking about taking a good walk in the mountains later, but he did not forget the main business. He coughed lightly, bowed and asked:
"Senior, I have some doubts."
The response from the stone tablet came quickly:
"Twelve questions."
Li Yuan was slightly stunned before he realized that this was a clearly marked price.
"Who is this knife owner?"
Li Yuan asked about the key points.
He was extremely curious about the identity of the knife master and had some guesses in his mind.
There are many experts in knife-wielding in the world, but there are not many above the Grandmaster level. If we push it to the Grandmaster level on the God List, there are only three or two of them.
But he had never fought with a master-level expert, so he couldn't tell whether every master was so powerful.
Therefore, it is impossible to judge.
Call ~
A gentle breeze blew.
Li Yuan waited for a long time before words appeared on the stone tablet:
"next."
"?"
If I don't answer, it will still take up a question?
Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart and subconsciously wanted to argue, but the thought was dismissed in a flash. The initiative to answer was not in his hands, and there was no point in arguing.
By the way, he also gave up the idea of asking about this person's identity.
The attitude of the bronze tower master clearly shows that he does not want to reveal his identity.
"Um……"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked:
"What is incense?"
Incense?
The woman in white at the top of the bronze tower frowned slightly, and words appeared on the stone tablet:
“It’s what the people want.”
"???"
Are you kidding?
Master Li Dao suddenly felt a little disgusted. He has always hated such mysterious explanations.
As if sensing his resentment, the stone tablet added:
"With 'God' as the source, burning incense and offering sacrifices as the basis and ritual, the faith, will and wishes of the believers are gathered together, which is the power of incense and vows."
"Is burning incense itself also a ritual?"
Li Yuan understood this explanation a little. After all, he was half a Taoist priest and had performed the ceremony of granting ordination by heaven.
"How do you use incense?"
This is the doubt that has been lingering in Li Yuan's mind for a long time.
"Through specific rituals, incense can be used to forge weapons, refine elixirs, heal wounds, prolong life, and curse others... The effects vary depending on the ritual."
A panacea?
Li Yuan's heart was slightly moved. This was consistent with the obscure records he had seen in some books in the library. He asked, "How to use it?"
"……Next."
The stone tablet shook slightly, perhaps taking Li Yuan's feelings into consideration, and added:
"Pull out this knife and this doubt will be resolved."
"..."
Just empty promises?
Li Yuan was speechless. He felt that the master of the bronze tower must be in a high position, otherwise he would not have such skillful skills in making promises.
With a change of mind, Li Yuan continued to ask questions. He found that some questions involving secrets or the identity of the bronze tower owner would be ignored.
On the contrary, he did not shy away from asking about the cultivation of the Grandmaster and the various martial arts and realms below him. He simply asked about the precautions required for blood transfusion and Grandmaster breakthrough.
These two realms are recognized as the most dangerous and difficult levels, especially the Grandmaster realm, which has stopped too many brilliant talents.
"Refining marrow and exchanging blood are originally one and the same."
Well, myeloid hematopoiesis.
Li Yuan expressed his understanding.
"The blood exchange stage requires, firstly, a strong physique, which can be satisfied by practicing a unique skill. Secondly, elixirs are needed, such as elixirs for strengthening bones, nourishing blood, strengthening tendons and protecting internal organs. The more the better."
The words on the stone tablet appeared like a waterfall, and compared with the previous vague words, they were much more detailed:
"After a blood transfusion, you need to rest for a hundred days. You need to find the safest and most secure place. After the blood transfusion, you need a lot of pills and elixirs to replenish it. Otherwise, it will damage your qi, blood and spirit..."
Practice the unique skills, feel satisfied, and have enough physical strength.
All I'm missing is the elixir...
Li Yuan had some concerns in his mind. After asking a few questions, he thought he had no doubts about this level, so he asked about the Grandmaster level.
"From blood exchange to yin and yang entering the Dao, there are four steps: the spirit leaves the body, kneading the qi and blood, the body merges, and the body and spirit become one."
"These four steps require the following elixirs, incense, and..."
……
“A magic pill, a magic pill.”
With a desire for the elixir, Li Yuan fell into a deep sleep.
After that day, he returned to normal, and the two masters of the two divine realms did not disturb him again.
Without the elixir, Li Yuan could clearly feel his progress slowing down, even with a large amount of ordinary elixirs and nourishing medicinal baths.
He tried to buy the elixir, but there was no other way except Wang Xuanying. All the inner disciples of Longhu were wealthy, and even if they came from a poor background, there was no shortage of powerful forces willing to sponsor them.
Naturally, he couldn't buy a share of the elixir.
The only way to obtain it is to forge top-grade famous weapons, but to obtain weapons of this level, he would have to put aside all other matters and focus on making them, and could only make one or two in a month, not to mention that he also had to practice martial arts.
Li Yuan had no choice but to pay attention while working diligently.
Every day, he would get up before dawn, stand on a stake for a few hours, and then rush to work as an ironworker. He would practice martial arts in the afternoon and read books at night, preparing for the final preparations for comprehending the Mysterious Whale Diagram.
Li Yuan returned to his boring and regular life and immersed himself in it.
Before you know it, the New Year is coming.
……
……
boom!
boom!
boom!
As the year draws to a close, Hengshan City is quite lively. Every household is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Fireworks can be heard from everywhere from time to time and can be clearly seen from outside the city.
"The people of Hengshan City are so wealthy that they have already started setting off firecrackers before nightfall."
In a carriage outside the city, Qiao Tianhe lifted the curtain and looked at the majestic city so close. He couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration:
“This city is so big!”
The sun had just set at this time, but outside Hengshan City there were crowds of people and cars, and under the bridge there were countless merchant ships rushing in for the spring.
Qiao Tianhe looked carefully and found that everyone passing by was wearing a sword. In just a short while, he actually saw several swords that were obviously famous.
I even saw several famous masters among the crowd.
"Master, I saw Zhen Sanshan and Yu Changshan, the one who blocked the road and asked for troops but was sent away by you, and, and..."
"There are so many experts here! Look, isn't that knife a top-quality weapon?"
"The martial arts performance will be held at the end of next year. This is the biggest event in the martial arts world. Isn't it normal for masters to come here? There is nothing to be surprised about!"
There was incense burning in the carriage. Wanchuan, dressed in a black robe, was stroking his forging hammer when he heard a cry of surprise:
"Come back and read!"
"Yes."
Qiao Tianhe sat back with a bitter face, flipping through the books with a numb look on his face, and couldn't help but complain:
"Master, I have watched this all the way and I really can't bear to watch it any longer."
"Then meditate and move your Qi, blood, and internal energy!"
Wan Chuan was so disappointed with him that he almost poked his finger at his face:
"Look at you, you are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and you still haven't opened your meridians after so long. How dare you be so lazy?"
"..."
Qiao Tianhe, who was spit on, was bored. During this journey, or to be more precise, in this year, he was scolded more times than in the previous ten years. All this happened from the moment the letter containing information about Li Yuan was handed to his master.
When he knew that Li Yuan had joined the inner sect of Dragon and Tiger and became famous, and was once called the "Dragon and Tiger Rookie", he was quite happy. However, he didn't know that his nightmare would also come.
"If you still can't open your meridians before February, I'll punish you by copying the weapon-making secrets three hundred times!"
Wan Chuan reprimanded him mercilessly: "I was not strict enough as a teacher in the past, which is why you have become so lazy!"
Qiao Tianhe swallowed his anger but couldn't help muttering, "You just regret not accepting Brother Li..."
"What did you say?"
Wanchuan slapped him on the shoulder and his old face turned a little red.
After this slap, Qiao Tianhe also got angry, stiffening his neck and saying: "You just regret not accepting Brother Li as your disciple!"
"you?!"
Wanchuan was furious.
"I told you many times at that time that you were the one who said that Brother Li was too skilled and that his talent was not enough to make an exception for you..."
"enough!"
Wan Chuan's hands trembled with anger, and he felt as if a sword had pierced his heart.
He had friends all over the world and many sources of information. He had received the news that Li Yuan was attending the Dragon and Tiger Banquet more than a year ago, and he was able to take it calmly at the time.
But later, when the news came that Li Yuan became the grandmaster's disciple, caused the blue dragon to appear, and forged a top-grade famous weapon, he really couldn't remain calm.
"What do you know?"
Feeling depressed, Wanchuan still scolded:
“Although Li Yuan has great talent, he is not cut out for forging weapons. Even though he can forge top-grade weapons now, his workmanship is too much. Not to mention a divine weapon, he can’t even forge a quasi-divine weapon!”
"Brother Li actually created a top-grade famous instrument?"
Upon hearing the news, Qiao Tianhe was extremely shocked.
He has been learning from a master craftsman for more than ten years, but he still fails from time to time when making famous instruments. He thinks it will take another ten years before he can try to make the best famous instruments.
This……
"Don't be depressed either."
He accidentally let it slip. Seeing his disciple's face full of astonishment and shock, Wan Chuan was afraid that he would be hit hard, so he hurriedly comforted him:
"There are no great craftsmen in the Dragon and Tiger Temple. There are only two or three who can be called masters of weapon forging. In a few years, you will inherit my master's teachings and your attainments in weapon forging will surely catch up with his."
"I……"
Qiao Tianhe was still a little dizzy and shocked.
"Ok?"
At this time, Wanchuan seemed to have sensed something. The carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain, took a glance, and jumped down as if his butt was on fire.
"Grandmaster Nie!"
Wanchuan dressed straight and bowed to the emperor, feeling very honored.
Although he was a master craftsman, when he normally went to Dao Sect, most of the people he picked up and dropped off were deputy hall masters. The hall master, at best, was just a few deputy sect masters.
Where has one ever had the privilege of being welcomed by a master from afar?
"The Master Craftsman has finally arrived."
At the city gate, Nie Xianshan smiled slightly, and did not say how long he had been waiting, but just bowed and greeted:
"I have set up a welcoming banquet in the mountains. How about moving there?"
"I feel guilty for accepting this."
Wanchuan dare not be arrogant.
He was the second most important person in the Dragon and Tiger Temple, and a top master listed in the top five on the Heroes List. No matter his status or martial arts, he was the best in the world.
Qiao Tianhe also bowed and greeted him, a little nervous.
The Seven Stars Palace dominates an entire state, but only the Palace Master has fully comprehended the yin and yang. However, his ranking on the Heroes List is far from comparable to the one in front of him.
This is a martial arts giant who has the potential to become a land-based immortal!
"please."
Nie Xianshan, who felt that he was being courteous, smiled and invited him to get in the carriage.
Wanchuan bowed and got in the car. On the way, he asked Nie Xianshan about the magic weapon he wanted to build and quietly looked through the blueprints.
Qiao Tianhe followed behind. It was his first time in Hengshan City. He had wanted to take a good look around, but now he could only go to Longhu Temple.
The temple is like a city, built in the mountains.
This was Qiao Tianhe’s impression of the Dragon and Tiger Temple. He watched excitedly along the way, exclaiming from time to time.
Wanchuan, who was in the carriage in front, frowned and glared at him fiercely when he got off the carriage at the inner door.
"Master Nie, where did you get the blueprint for the 'Pure Yang Dragon Tiger Sword' you want to make?"
On the mountain road, Wanchuan looked a little solemn.
"how?"
Nie Xianshan frowned slightly, but still answered: "This was obtained by me in a secret place many years ago. Although no one has ever fought there before, there will be no problem if we follow the map."
"A secret place?"
Wanchuan frowned and said, "This sword is indeed special. I'm afraid I can't handle it..."
"Not urgent."
Nie Xianshan smiled slightly and said, "Let's go up the mountain first. I have invited a few old friends. Master Wanshen can go meet them first."
old friend?
Did you invite other master craftsmen?
Wan Chuan's expression eased slightly. At this time, he saw the smoke rising into the sky in the distance. Qiao Tianhe was also looking into the distance.
You can vaguely see smoke rising into the sky halfway up the mountain, and it seems that there are many people hammering steel and iron.
"If I remember correctly, that's Chun Gang Peak, right?"
Wanchuan withdrew his gaze.
The Longhu Temple was known as the number one alchemy sect in the world, but it was not good at forging. It naturally had standard blades and some famous artifacts, but it did not have the inheritance of a master craftsman.
"good."
Seeing his thoughts, Nie Xianshan nodded secretly and smiled: "It's on the way, why don't you go and take a look? And please give me some advice, Master Wanshen."
"Where, where."
Wanchuan was a little flattered. He really didn't expect this top master to treat him with such courtesy.
"Brother Li should be there, right?"
Qiao Tianhe muttered quietly, seeing through his master's thoughts.
"Ahem, Li Yuan from your clan has met Wan a few times."
Wanchuan was a little embarrassed. A top master could even intercept the sound transmission, let alone whispers.
"It's fate."
Nie Xianshan smiled.
Everyone walked towards Chungang Peak. On the way, there was a dragon stele standing beside the mountain road. Wanchuan subconsciously stopped and looked for Li Yuan's name under the stele.
"Senior Brother Li is only ranked 31st?"
Wanchuan was looking from below, but Qiao Tianhe exclaimed, because he was looking from above.
"what?"
Wanchuan's pupils shrank when he saw the familiar name and felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
The Dragon List is unknown to outsiders, but how could he not understand what this list means?
Only one year into the profession, and in his twenties, he has already reached this position...
"hold head high!"
Suddenly, a clear and high-pitched dragon roar sounded from a distance.
"what?"
Nie Xianshan raised his eyebrows and looked over. He saw a dark blue dragon figure leaping out from the fireworks floating on Chungang Peak.
Soaring straight into the sky.
"This is?"
Wanchuan also saw the dragon-shaped sword light, and seemed to have thought of something. He pounded his chest and finally breathed smoothly:
"A quasi-divine weapon?!"
