Chapter 51: The Warehouse of the Weapon Forging Shop
"call!"
"Suck!"
It was just daybreak when the sound of long breathing could be heard from the outer room on the second floor of the courtyard.
Li Yuan is very self-disciplined.
He even felt that if he had been so self-disciplined in his previous life, he would have been able to become a naturalized Taoist priest.
But he felt that this was not his problem.
Compared to the boring reciting of scriptures and memorizing classics, hard practice can lead to progress, and you can feel the self-improvement of practicing martial arts, which is much more motivating.
"That's not right. The progress of ordinary people in martial arts training is far from comparable to mine. The reason why I am so self-disciplined now is, in the final analysis, because of the Weapon Control Scroll..."
Having been through the martial arts world and having suffered the beatings of society, Master Li Dao is very clear about his position. He also knows that compared with the tremendous blessing of the Weapon-Controlling Scroll, his efforts are far from enough.
“But if you rely on the talisman in your hand to indulge in pleasure, then in the end, this talisman bestowed by heaven will be wasted!”
Li Yuan slowly pushed the soldiers' body posture and kept adjusting his breathing, trying to figure out a breathing method that was more suitable for the Bingdao Fighting Hammer.
Compared to the rapid progress of the White Ape Cloak Hammer, he spent more effort on learning the superior martial arts, but he has been slow to master it. Up to now, he has only learned one fighting method, "Weapon Strike".
This was certainly because advanced martial arts were too difficult to learn, and also because he lacked a breathing method, so his practice was ineffective.
But he still put in a lot of effort.
His current hard training doesn't seem to have made much progress, but if he could join the Divine Weapon Valley and learn the breathing method of this superior martial art,
Then, today's hard training will become the resources for your rapid progress in the future.
"call!"
When the sky brightened, Li Yuan slowly stopped.
The second sister-in-law prepared breakfast early. When he went downstairs, Li Lin had already gone out with an axe and a rope on his back.
After a quick breakfast, Li Yuan washed the pots and bowls, said goodbye to his sister-in-law, and walked quickly to the blacksmith shop.
"After my blood and qi matured, there were changes in all aspects. My physical strength increased greatly, and my speed also increased a lot!"
Li Yuan was still feeling the changes in his blood and energy.
This is obvious.
He used his normal strength, but he walked much faster than before. The blood and qi circulated to Yongquan, and he felt a force supporting his feet.
Let him walk briskly.
This is without any stimulation, but when it really exploded, Li Yuan felt that he could break the world record of his previous life, and perhaps it was a big breakthrough.
"But compared to the second shopkeeper, it's still far behind..."
Li Yuan was delighted, but he couldn't help but think of the time when Yu Zhen broke into the inner courtyard and Tang Tong's sudden speed.
It only takes two or three seconds to run thirty meters in one sprint and more than sixty meters back and forth. The speed of the round trip run is far beyond the limit of the human body.
"Internal energy!"
With emotion, Li Yuan left Chaiyufang. It was just dawn and some people had already set up stalls on the street. He bought a few meat buns on the way and soon arrived at the forge.
As usual, they opened the furnace, blew the fire, and began to forge weapons.
The White Ape Cloak Hammer is closely related to the forging technique. During forging, the speed of the hammer and the consumption of blood and energy are only slightly lower than those of hard training.
Not to mention that this is his only source of income at the moment, and windfall is not always possible.
If he works harder, with his current hammering skills and forging skills, plus the care of his master Zhang Ben, he can still earn four or five taels of silver a month.
When it comes to forging iron, Li Yuan works harder than anyone else in the forge. The clanging sound of him forging iron can be heard from thirty or forty meters away.
Most of the blacksmith's assistants had long been accustomed to waking up early every day to listen to the sound of his iron hammering, and Zhang Ben would often come to check on his progress at this time.
When~
Zhang Ben flicked the jade knife lightly, and the palm-wide blade showed fine texture, and the knife made a crisp sound.
"Good knife!"
Old Zhang's eyes lit up, and he casually made a few knife moves, making a buzzing sound as the knife broke through the air. It was clear that the quality of this jade knife was good:
"It only needs a little more heat to become a top-grade sharp blade!"
Zhang Ben was full of praise and felt quite happy.
"This disciple is very similar to me!" He didn't expect that he would still have such a disciple in his old age. The forging method, thinking and temperature of this knife were almost exactly the same as before he mastered the forging technique.
If he hadn't seen Li Yuan forge it with his own eyes, he would have really thought that it was the one he had made back then.
He was extremely satisfied with this disciple who was talented and looked like himself!
"If the fire is not good enough, it won't be considered top quality."
Glancing at the jade knife glowing white, Li Yuan shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
With the breakthrough of hammer method and blood energy, his forging skills naturally improved, but it was still a little far from perfection. After all, he had only forged more than 30 weapons in total, and only 6 sharp blades.
"How many days have you been forging iron? It took me at least twenty years to reach your level!"
Zhang Ben was very satisfied and looked forward to it:
"Soon, you will be able to forge top-quality blades! For every blade you forge, I'll give you seven ounces of silver!"
"Seven taels?"
"Seven taels is not a small amount. The shop has cultivated you, do you want to split it in half?"
Zhang Ben glared at him, then walked towards the backyard with the jade knife in hand. He had to show off to those old guys.
Before leaving the house, he paused for a moment and said, "By the way, I promised you that when you mastered the forging skill, you could go to the warehouse and pick out a top-quality blade. Now,
You can go now! "
"Thank you, master!"
Li Yuan was overjoyed.
Gold and silver earned from blacksmithing are rewards and punishments in the shop. This is the reward from the master. Others will never have this treatment. The blacksmiths standing by were so envious that their eyes turned red.
A top-quality sharp blade, if sold internally, would cost more than thirty taels of silver!
"Brother Li, I have to treat you to a drink some other day!"
"A top-grade sharp blade! Junior Brother Li, listen to my senior brother and go straight for the Jade Blade. Choose the sword that our master made back then!"
"Junior brother, your forging skills are almost perfect!"
……
As soon as Zhang Ben left, the forge room suddenly became lively. All the blacksmiths and helpers started clamoring, half of them congratulated him, and half of them asked him to treat them.
This made the dozen or so apprentices who were pushing and pulling the bellows very envious.
"Okay, I'll do it another day!"
Of course Li Yuan agreed readily. After dealing with it, he put down the forging hammer, walked quickly, and rushed to the warehouse.
"Oh, Junior Brother, your face is so red, could it be that Master is going to give you something that he promised you?"
Wang Hu, who was guarding the warehouse, saw Li Yuan from afar and came up to him with a smile.
"Brother Tiger, please open the warehouse door!"
Li Yuan smiled.
He has been coming here quite often these days, bringing some wine and meat from time to time, so naturally he has a good relationship with Wang Hu.
"That's too polite. Come on, open the door!"
With a wave of his hand, Wang Hu led Li Yuan into the warehouse. After they were away from the other two guards, he lowered his voice and said:
"Junior brother, you'd better not take those swords that Master left behind. They are too eye-catching..."
"Thanks for the reminder, Brother Tiger."
Li Yuan nodded.
The two men walked straight through the huge warehouse and reached the deep end. Wang Hu took out the key and opened a locked room inside.
There are two types of warehouses, the inner and outer ones. The outer ones are mostly filled with various iron materials and common weapons. The best ones, such as jade knives and green swords, are only first-grade ones.
Neikuli, at worst, is an entry-level weapon.
Li Yuan had been there several times before and was dazzled by the sight, especially some of the weapons that made his heart beat fast.
Walking into the inner storehouse, feeling the throbbing of the weapon-controlling scroll, a white-blue light flashed in his eyes, and Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little conflicted:
"I want both. Which one is better?"
