Chapter 374: Qi Becomes a Black Whale

Chapter 374: Qi Becomes a Black Whale (Part ) (Thanks to Feng Xiehou for his support)

In order to forge the Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Sword, Nie Xianshan was well prepared, with over a thousand kinds of fine iron, which dazzled the four great craftsmen.

It took half a year to refine them one by one.

At this time, Nie Xianshan took out the six main materials for making the Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Sword.

"Is this the essence of the dragon vein?"

It was a fist-sized black stone. At first glance, it looked ordinary, but when he looked closer, Li Yuan could faintly hear the low roar of a dragon.

“Superior dragon vein essence.”

Bei Wuji's eyes lit up, he took it and weighed it: "Ninety-nine kilograms, not a cent more, not a cent less, Patriarch Nie is really generous!"

The essence of dragon veins is often born in places where dragons roam. At least ten dragons have died there, and it takes a long time for these natural treasures to be born.

The best material for sword making.

"This dragon vein essence was bred in the back mountain of my Dragon and Tiger Temple. For this, this old man paid sixty years of elixir share."

Nie Xianshan swept his sleeves, and the other five kinds of rare treasures that he kept close to him were placed in front of everyone.

"The Tiger Soul Stone, bred from the essence of a beast king-level white tiger, is actually this big?"

Wanchuan was amazed. Normally, the Tiger Soul Stone was only the size of a thumb, but the one in Nie Xianshan was as big as a fist. In addition, materials such as meteorite black iron, gold essence, underworld iron, and star sand were also top-grade materials for casting weapons.

The most common one among them is gold essence.

"Master Nie is extremely wealthy."

Li Yuan felt a little annoyed. If these materials were replaced with gold, they could probably be piled into a mountain.

No, even a mountain of gold can't buy it...

"For these materials, I traveled to various dangerous places and spent sixty or seventy years to gather them..."

Nie Xianshan sighed a little, recalling the hardships along the way.

Wanchuan, Jiang Xie and others looked at each other, all of them were startled, these words were obviously meant for them.

"Master Nie, rest assured. We will do our best."

Wanchuan bowed, feeling quite pressured.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This material is enough for two attempts. Even if it doesn't work once, it should work after two attempts, right?"

Nie Xianshan's tone slowed down, but he still left some room for maneuver:

"If you can do it in one go, you can divide the remaining materials equally."

"We must do our best!"

The four master craftsmen were all moved and they all bowed with solemn expressions. They did not dare to be negligent at all and gathered together to make the final preparations.

"I have to win."

Li Yuan was a little shocked. Taoist Nie's move was really too big.

Nie Xianshan glanced at Li Yuan and said in a slow tone, "The opportunity to create a top-grade divine weapon is rare. Junior Brother Li can watch from the sidelines, which may be of some benefit."

You mean you don't have to get started?
Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but was not too surprised. This old Taoist attached so much importance to the creation of this magic weapon. After all, he was a little young and probably couldn't trust him.

"but……"

Nie Xianshan paused for a moment, thought for a moment and said:

"There are a lot of materials here. If Junior Brother Li wants to try his hand, he can pick one or two. However, he can only try once."

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Yuan bowed and thanked him.

"It's not that Master Uncle is stingy, it's really a matter of great importance."

Perhaps fearing that Li Yuan might be dissatisfied, Nie Xianshan explained softly.

"The disciple understands."

Li Yuan felt regretful, but it was understandable. After all, he had never forged a magic weapon. No matter how high his weapon-making skills were, he was only a quasi-master craftsman.

"Ah."

Nie Xianshan nodded and joined the discussion about the magic weapon.

"Don't worry about it, Junior Brother Li."

Xin Wenhua came over, already wearing a new set of clothes, and comforted her softly:

"This Pure Yang Sword is related to Master's breaking of the Tian Gang, and I really don't want any setbacks."

"Break the Tian Gang?"

Li Yuan immediately became interested.

"I heard from Master that in order for a sword-shaped spirit to break the Tiangang, it must be integrated with itself. It is best if the sword-shaped spirit is a divine weapon that is compatible with itself."

Xin Wenhua said via voice transmission.

"Is there any other way to say this?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he realized, no wonder Taoist Nie was so obsessed with the magic weapon.

"The reason why Master is ranked fifth among the heroes is entirely because he does not have a magic weapon that suits him. If he had a magic weapon of the highest quality, no one below the Grandmaster would be able to defeat him."

Xin Wenhua boasted for a few words, then drew out his broken sword:
"Since Junior Brother Li is not involved in the creation of the Pure Yang Sword, then my sword..."

"Just leave it to me."

When Li Yuan took over the broken sword, information on how to repair this magical weapon and the materials needed emerged in his mind.

He had thought about it several days ago, and all the necessary materials had been prepared, and he was just waiting for the final repair.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Li."

Xin Wenhua bowed and thanked him, his face full of gratitude.

"Brother Xin, you are too polite."

Li Yuan did not waste any time and told him to get the necessary materials. He walked to the forging table, skillfully started the fire and filled it with spiritual firewood.

The temperature required to forge a magic weapon is extremely high, and ordinary charcoal cannot be used at all. It must be high-quality spiritual wood charcoal.

"The spirit is in harmony with the divine weapon..."

Li Yuan's mind was wandering, and he couldn't help but think of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer. He felt that there was some similarity between them.

"Perhaps, the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer was forged by a master of the Black Whale Sect?"

The heavy hammer fell, and Li Yuan's distracting thoughts disappeared, immersed in the sound of blacksmithing. Compared to forging a magic weapon, repairing it was naturally much easier.

He already had a plan in mind, and soon melted all the iron materials and began to repair the "Soul-Breaking Sword".

Xin Wenhua was serving beside him with a nervous look on his face.

When~
When~
The sound of blacksmithing was steady and powerful, each one like a drumbeat, quite rhythmic and continuous, from noon until nightfall without a pause.

By the pond, the four great craftsmen gathered around the Pure Yang Sword Diagram, discussing it non-stop, their brows furrowed, all of them extremely cautious.

"how?"

After a long time, seeing that the four people had calmed down, Nie Xianshan asked.

"Master Nie."

Before the forging, the four great craftsmen all seemed very cautious. They looked at each other and Jiang Xie bowed:

"After thinking about it, Jiang decided to ask, if the Pure Yang Sword that is finally created is a top-grade divine weapon, would you be able to accept it?"

Quiet.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Li Yuan's iron hammering still echoing.

Nie Xianshan frowned slightly, and said after a while:

"Everyone, please try your best. If it fails, I will not blame you, and the things I promised before will not be taken back."

Just the best magic weapon.

The four of them looked at each other with mixed feelings. Although Nie Xianshan said that he did not blame them, the employer's dissatisfaction would also damage their reputation.

"So, I understand."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, a huge tremor came from behind them, and the river bank under their feet shook. "Huh?"

Nie Xianshan looked up and saw the clanging of sword light rising into the night sky.

"It's done!"

Xin Wenhua, who was waiting nervously, couldn't help but shout and rushed forward.

Amid the smoke and fire, Li Yuan let out a long sigh. Flames rose from the forging table, and a long sword made an ear-piercing sound as it leaped into Xin Wenhua's hands like a living thing.

"Good sword."

Just by hearing the sound of the sword, the expressions of the people by the pond changed a little. The difficulty of repairing a magic weapon cannot be compared with forging it, but it is definitely not something that can be done easily.

Zheng~
Xin Wenhua danced with the sword, the sword light whistled, and made continuous tiger roar sounds.

Not long after, Xin Wenhua slowly pressed the sword, unable to contain his joy, and the tiger-shaped sword unexpectedly became complete.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Li!"

Xin Wenhua bowed.

"Brother Xin, you are too polite."

Li Yuan was also in a good mood. Although repairing the magic sword was not as difficult as forging it, he succeeded in one go, which naturally showed that his weapon-forging skills had reached the level of a master craftsman.

"Little friend Li's skills have become more and more sophisticated."

Jiang Xie clapped her hands in praise. She had seen the Soul-Breaking Sword before and naturally knew how difficult it would be to repair it.

"This sword is really well made."

Wanchuan borrowed the sword from Xin Wenhua, took a quick look at it, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This kid's progress is more than just rapid. As far as he knows, since he entered the Divine Weapon Valley, he has succeeded in almost every weapon he has cultivated.

This is really too stable.

Bei Wuji and the other man also looked at the Soul-Breaking Sword and praised it highly.

"I would also like to thank all the seniors for their advice."

Li Yuan extinguished the stove. He came here to observe every day these days. Although the four people only gave him some pointers occasionally, he could still learn things too fast.

He benefited a lot from the four people's hammering techniques and their grasp of fire tempering.

"Is this sword difficult to repair?"

Nie Xianshan was also a little surprised, mainly because these four people were quite shocked. He did not understand the difficulty of this.

"This sword has been broken for at least several hundred years. It is extremely difficult to repair. I don't think I can do it."

Bei Wuji was quite moved and bowed:
"Master Nie, I think that friend Li can forge weapons together."

"can."

Wanchuan and the others also nodded. They had heard some of what Nie Xianshan said before. They had no objection at that time, but now...

It seems safer to have more people, but at worst, everyone will have to bear the blame together.

"This……"

Nie Xianshan felt a little embarrassed. Half a day ago, he had earnestly advised Li Yuan not to interfere, and now he changed his mind in just half a day?
"My skills are not yet fully developed, so I'd better help you seniors first."

Li Yuan declined politely, not entirely because of what Nie Xianshan said before, but because the looks in these four people seemed a little off.

"Alright."

Nie Xianshan's expression relaxed and he looked at Wan Chuan and the others. They felt a little regretful, but nodded in agreement.

"Are they not sure?"

Li Yuan figured out what was going on and was not surprised.

The gap between a magic weapon and a top-grade magic weapon is huge, and he has no confidence at all, which is why he readily agreed to Nie Xianshan before.

but……

"If I could get the forging hammers of four people..."

Glancing at the four god-level forging hammers shining with golden light, Li Yuan felt that with his current attainments in weapon forging, combined with the hammers of the four people, it might not be impossible to give it a try.

……

……

Wanchuan, Jiang Xie and the other three were not the kind of people who would take what they had for granted. They never minded Li Yuan secretly learning from them, and occasionally, they would not be able to resist giving him some pointers.

But no idea of ​​borrowing a hammer.

Li Yuan was not surprised to be rejected again. The importance of the divine weapon forging hammer to these four people was self-evident. How could they lend it to him just by asking?
"If you want to borrow it, you have to pay it back every time. I'm afraid only Taoist Nie has the ability to do this..."

Thinking about it, Li Yuan returned to the courtyard.

He controlled the red blood-patterned dragon armor, slowly practiced the standing meditation, and with the help of the medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Pill, began to improve his bones.

Li Yuan was quite cautious as he changed his form fifty-four times at a time.

Kakakka~
As if carrying a mountain on his back, Li Yuanxu pushed the standing meditation pole, and his muscles and bones groaned. After a while, he was sweating profusely. With his current physical condition, only at this time would he feel exhausted.

After a long time, he washed up and looked at the sky.

"The moonlight is hazy, and it's either raining or windy..."

Master Li's habit of observing the weather was ingrained in his bones. With just a casual glance, he came to a conclusion in his mind, but he didn't care too much. He ate a bite of food and went back into the house.

"These two little guys are getting wilder and wilder."

Looking around the house, Li Yuan didn't see the two little guys, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He had secretly followed the little mice around before.

Nowadays, the little mouse has hundreds or thousands of rats under his command, and each group has several hundred or thousands of rats. Whenever he goes out, the rats are like the tide, and even the spiritual beasts will be deterred when they see them.

Safe, of course it is safe.

"If there really are good things in this mountain of beasts, it is impossible for the little mouse not to find them. How can the bronze tower master be more perceptive than the little mouse?"

Sitting cross-legged, Li Yuan thought to himself that the tower master had not been here for several days.

"Maybe he's waiting for me to perfect my internal organs?"

Li Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes in meditation.

Now, he has initially gotten rid of the complicated and arduous training, and has been multitasking, maintaining the internal organ refining, visualization, and Tianyijiu training while entering the Mysterious Whale Secret Realm.

hum!
Hanging upside down on the top of the mountain, Li Yuan lightly pressed the stone tablet, and the black whale energy from all directions surged in, causing gusts of strong wind.

The energy of the black whale has the effect of warming the spirit. Over time, Li Yuan's mental strength has increased tremendously. With a thought, he can activate the energy of the black whale on the top of the entire inverted mountain.

Woohoo~
As his thoughts moved, the omnipresent black whale energy collided and intertwined with each other, transforming into shapes that Li Yuan possessed, be it a monkey, a tiger, a snake or a dragon.

"Roar!"

"hold head high!"

"Moo!"

In an instant, the Upside-Down Mountain became lively. More than a hundred beasts of various shapes formed a circle, and outside them were weapons such as fighting hammers.

hum~
Under Li Yuan's gaze, various beast soldiers leaped up, collided and combined in the air.

"Master Nie reminded me that the shape of the weapon is indeed very useful."

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

He really wanted to fly with a sword, even though he seldom went out.

"The weapon's spiritual attack is truly fierce and unmatched. Even if you can't fly with the sword, it is still an excellent means of assistance."

Nie Xianshan suggested that he might as well practice the spiritual aspect as well. Li Yuan agreed with him, but he did not want to practice both the Thunder Dragon and the Dragon Elephant. Instead, he felt that in addition to the Black Whale, he could also practice the spiritual aspect of a weapon.

"The best choice is actually hammer..."

Li Yuan had a headache as his rationality and sensibility were in conflict. He was holding the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, and no matter how he thought about it, the hammer shape was more suitable for him.

If the spirit is combined with the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, wouldn’t the Tiangang realm be shattered with just one hammer?
When it comes to the Grand Master realm, rationality still has the absolute upper hand.

"Next time I must make a sword-shaped spirit..."
