Chapter 165: Tongxuan Tiger Fang Sword
c_t;In this world, various forces are everywhere, competing for cultivation resources. Popular novels, latest chapters visit: .
But there are also some hidden masters who are not involved in the secular world.
The casting master that Lin Jiaer mentioned is a hidden master. Even in this Dahuang City, not many people know him.
As for why Lin Jiaer knew the existence of this casting master, it was because her father, the head of Yongchang Pavilion, was once an old friend of this casting master.
Dahuang City is very large. Lin Jiaer asked others to go back first, and she took Luo Xiu to walk in the city for about half an hour before coming to a relatively deserted and dilapidated alley.
Lin Jiaer stopped in front of a house with mottled walls and a slight tilt, which seemed to be about to collapse at any time. "This is it. My father said that he is a fifth-level casting master who has been in seclusion here for hundreds of years. His personality and temper are rather strange. I am not sure whether he is willing to cast a war weapon for you."
As she spoke, Lin Jiaer walked forward, knocked on the door gently, and said softly: "Senior Lu, I am Lin Jiaer, a junior, and a friend wants to ask you to help cast a war weapon."
The broken wooden door shook slightly, and a face condensed by flames appeared on the wooden door, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you Lin Youtian's daughter? But I won't do anything casually."
The flame face's eyes immediately fell on Luo Xiu again, and said lightly: "Since it is someone brought by the daughter of an old friend, it is not impossible for me to do it. What level of war weapon do you want to cast? There is no need to say if it is below the ground level."
"Ground level." Luo Xiu said.
"Come in." The flame face said, and then disappeared, and the broken wooden door slowly opened.
Luo Xiu and Lin Jiaer walked in together and found that there was a different world inside the room.
From the outside, the house looked dilapidated and it was hard to imagine that this was the residence of a casting master.
But after entering, I found that the room was filled with rich fire energy. The space inside was very large, with a furnace, a casting table, and a pool in the center.
And the walls around were engraved with countless array patterns and runes to reinforce and block the breath here from leaking out.
In a corner of the room, there were war weapons on display, including swords, spears, swords, and halberds, and the level of each war weapon reached the lower grade of the earth level.
This is indeed a fifth-level casting master. Even if he is not as good as Bu Chen Wu Wang, he is not far behind.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also noticed this fifth-level casting master, an old man with flaming hair, wearing a gray robe, and reading a yellowed ancient book in his hand.
"Young man, take out the materials you plan to use to cast the war weapon, and I will cast a war weapon for you, and I need a hundred middle-grade vitality stones as a reward." The red-haired old man closed the ancient book and put it aside and said.
One hundred middle-grade vitality stones are equivalent to ten thousand low-grade ones. This reward is a bit expensive. After all, the price of a low-grade earth-level war weapon is generally twenty thousand low-grade ones.
However, what Luo Xiu needs is a war weapon tailored for him, so it is reasonable to charge a little more.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu did not think much about it and directly took out a hundred middle-grade vitality stones.
The red-haired old man didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and put away the vitality stone. He said in a hoarse voice: "One hundred medium-grade vitality stones are just the most basic reward. According to the grade of the materials you bring out and the difficulty of forging the war weapon, I will charge extra compensation. [Fast update, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, must give a good review]"
Luo Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that Lin Jiaer was right. This old guy really has a weird personality. You didn't tell me about the extra reward earlier, but took away the one hundred medium-grade ones first.
Without waiting for Luo Xiu to speak, the red-haired old man said again: "I will forge a war weapon for you. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone else. Now take out the materials you want to forge the war weapon."
Luo Xiu didn't waste any words and directly took out a dozen long fangs with cold light flashing from the storage ring.
"The fangs of a fifth-level monster?" The red-haired old man narrowed his eyes, and then took a closer look, his eyes suddenly flashed with a 'sharp' light, "Or is it the fangs of a fifth-level monster, the two-headed Tongyou Tiger?"
Luo Xiu was not surprised that the red-haired old man could recognize the origin of the fangs at a glance. A master who is proficient in casting has come into contact with countless materials, and it is normal that he knows the casting materials best.
Then, Luo Xiu took out a fist-sized piece of black 'yin' iron from the storage ring.
"Fifth-level black 'yin' iron?" The red-haired old man's eyes lit up again, "This is a good treasure that can only be found in extremely 'yin' places."
Then Luo Xiu took out several more materials, all of which reached the fifth level, and all of them were materials with properties that tended to be 'yin'.
As for the higher-level materials containing the property of death, Luo Xiu had never seen them before.
In fact, if some yang-attributed materials were added, and the soldiers were forged with the fusion of yin and yang, it would be even more helpful in improving his strength.
However, casting war weapons is just like practicing martial arts. It is almost impossible to fuse materials with opposite properties. Luo Xiu did not think that this red-haired old man could do this.
Even among the treasure refiners in ancient times, those who could fuse opposite properties such as ice and fire, yin and yang, life and death were rare, and they all used special secret methods to assist.
Seeing the materials Luo Xiu took out, the red-haired old man nodded, and seemed quite satisfied, so he said: "The materials are not bad, it is worth my effort once, Lin girl, you can go, I don't like people watching when I cast war weapons."
"As for this kid, you can stay." The red-haired old man pointed at Luo Xiu again.
Lin Jiaer saluted respectfully, and then left the room.
"The materials you took out are all materials with yin properties among the two poles of yin and yang. You should also practice a technique with yin properties, right?" The red-haired old man asked.
Luo Xiu nodded, slowly spread his palms, and the Nether Death Flame leaped and burned.
"What a strong flame." The red-haired old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your flame does not contain the 'yin' attribute, but the 'death' attribute! And the intensity of the flame is not as strong as yours, even the innate true fire condensed by many fourth-level casters."
Luo Xiu did not expect that this red-haired old man could actually see that his true essence contained the 'death' attribute, and his expression showed a trace of surprise and vigilance.
The red-haired old man saw his reaction, but he curled his lips and sneered: "Don't be afraid that I will be interested in the skills you practice. I practice the fire-based skills that are more yang-like. Even if you give me the skills, I can't practice it."
"But it is precisely because my life-blood fire is more yang-like. Casting war weapons with yin-like materials will damage the yin in the materials. The quality of the war weapons cast in this way will be relatively poor."
While speaking, the red-haired old man frowned and said as if talking to himself: "If you use your own fire containing the death attribute to smelt the materials, it will not damage the attributes."
"Boy, come here." The red-haired old man walked to the copper-colored furnace and said.
Luo Xiu walked forward as he said, and the red-haired old man pointed at the copper furnace and said, "Condense the flame and hit it into the furnace."
"I don't know how to cast." Luo Xiu frowned and said.
"Nonsense, of course I know you can't forge, I just need you to provide the flame, I didn't ask you to forge."
The red-haired old man snorted, "If you don't use your own flame to forge, I can't guarantee the quality of the war weapon. Besides, if you use your own flame to melt the materials, the forged war weapon will be in tune with your mind and exert greater power."
"I see." Luo Xiu immediately condensed the Nether Death Flame and hit it into the copper furnace in front of him.
Afterwards, according to the requirements of the red-haired old man, Luo Xiu needed to control the intensity of the flame and gradually melt the materials. Depending on the different materials, the intensity of the flame also has requirements, just like alchemy, you need to control the temperature, not the greater the power of the flame, the better.
What surprised the red-haired old man was that Luo Xiu's control level of flame was extremely high, and his fire control skills were perfect, not inferior to his own, and even better.
Even the red-haired old man thought that Luo Xiu himself was a forger, but this guy really knew nothing about casting, not even the most basic things.
Could it be that this kid is an alchemist?
Alchemists, like casters, have extremely high requirements for fire control.
"I am indeed an alchemist."
When the red-haired old man asked, Luo Xiu did not hide it, and there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
"What rank?" The red-haired old man narrowed his eyes and asked again.
From the perspective of fire control, the fifth-level master is not as good as him, but the level of an alchemist and caster cannot be judged only by fire control.
"Fourth rank." Luo Xiu replied.
In fact, he can now refine fifth-level pills, but there is no need to say it.
"Good boy, you have the seventh-level cultivation of the spirit at such a young age, and you are also a fourth-level alchemy master. Which sect are you from, and who is your master?" The red-haired old man became more and more curious about Luo Xiu.
"My master said that without his permission, I can't tell others about my master's origins." Luo Xiu said apologetically.
"Oh?" The red-haired old man showed surprise again, but did not continue to ask.
In this world, apart from the big forces in the open, there are also some hidden families and sects. With the red-haired old man's martial arts cultivation and the identity of a fifth-level master, he can also know some unknown things.
The process of smelting materials took three days. During this period, Luo Xiu's true essence was greatly depleted. He had to take pills to restore his true essence every time, and it was not easy to hold on.
Since he learned to make pills, Luo Xiu knew how difficult it was to become an alchemist, and how difficult it was for an alchemist to refine a furnace of pills and increase the success rate.
As with alchemists, casting is certainly not easy. It takes three days just to melt the materials, and the temperature must be accurately controlled throughout the process. It is difficult for ordinary people to do this, which is why casting masters and alchemy masters are so rare.
After the materials are melted, there are some tedious fusion processes. It is not a simple matter of putting the melted materials together, but requires a special proportion, as well as the matching and sorting of different materials, which contains the concept of casting.
During this process, the red-haired old man drove Luo Xiu out because this involved some of his secret techniques in casting.
After another six days, the closed wooden door slowly opened, and a black sword was thrown out, hitting the ground with a bang, and the sword body sank into the mud, and dust flew.
"After smelting hundreds of kilograms of black 'yin' iron, plus various other materials, the weight of this sword has reached 1,800 kilograms. I was almost exhausted!"
The hoarse voice of the red-haired old man came from the room. It was indeed a little weak. Obviously, in the previous fusion and casting process, these six days had consumed a lot of his energy.
Generally, martial artists do not have any weight requirements for combat weapons, but Luo Xiu took out too many materials. Even if the impurities were quenched and fused together, the weight still reached 1,800 kilograms.
Luo Xiu walked forward and picked up the black sword. His palm trembled slightly, and then he held the heavy sword steadily and waved it like an arm.
Although the grade of this sword is only the lower grade of the earth grade, because of the extremely large amount of smelted materials, the power is even stronger than the middle grade of the earth grade.
However, such a heavy sword would be more difficult for ordinary martial artists to use, and only martial artists who practice body training can use it.
Luo Xiu was very satisfied with this sword. He waved it a few times and then walked into the room.
"Thank you, senior." Seeing the red-haired old man with a pale face, Luo Xiu sincerely thanked him.
"No need to be polite. Casting a war weapon for you has consumed a lot of my energy, so I need extra compensation." The red-haired old man curled his lips.
Luo Xiu laughed dumbly. After a few days of getting along, he knew that this senior Zun Lu was a straightforward person.
"I wonder what kind of compensation you need?" He asked directly.
"A fifth-level demon pill!" The red-haired old man smiled, "You have the fangs of the two-headed Tongyou tiger, so you should also have a demon pill, right?"
The two-headed Tongyou tiger is a relatively rare fifth-level demon beast. The red-haired old man didn't know where Luo Xiu got the fangs from. He only cared about whether there was a demon pill.
Demon pills are only found in the bodies of fifth-level demon beasts. They are extremely useful in formations, alchemy, and casting.
"Yes, I'll give it to you." Luo Xiu smiled, and flicked his finger, and a black demon pill flew towards the red-haired old man.
"Hehe, what a treasure!" The red-haired old man grabbed it, his face showing joy.
"Well, it is indeed a good treasure."
Luo Xiu also looked at the sword in his hand, which was just out of the furnace with a hint of hot breath, and liked it more and more.
"Since it is made of Xuanyin iron and Tongyou tiger teeth, I will call it Tongxuan Tiger Tooth Sword!"
