Under the Baiyan volcano, Zhan Chen stared at this towering mountain peak, which was more than 2,000 zhang high, straight into the sky, and the top of the mountain could not be seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the mountainside under the white clouds looks verdant and lovely, pleasing to the eyes, and the waterfall flows slowly down from the high mountain, forming a stream at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at this beautiful and delicious scenery, Zhan Chen sighed in his heart, if he hadn't known in advance, he would never have guessed that it was a veritable volcano.

"According to the swordsmith in Baiyan Town, Li Niansheng lives on this mountain, so I'll go up and take a look first. Thinking like this, Zhan Chen began to climb along the steep mountain trail. Along the way, the spirit tree is beautiful, the spirit is showing, and it attracts countless rare beasts, and the vitality is gloomy, like a fairyland.

However, Zhan Chen didn't come here to visit. At this time, he was bent on seeking a sword, and when he came to the place surrounded by clouds, he saw several houses hidden in the shadows of the trees, and his heart moved, and he thought, "Isn't it already here?"

So, he quickened his pace again, came to the foot of those houses, and finally saw their true face of Lushan, which was a tall villa, about five or six, and there was a person standing at the door of one of them, with a martial saint intermediate cultivator.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen stepped forward and Shi Li asked, "This senior, are you also here to ask Master Li Niansheng for a sword?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Who did you say you were asking for a sword?"

"Master Li Niansheng. ”

"Ask him for a sword?" the man shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, you have just arrived, and everyone knows that the master will not forge a sword for anyone. ”

"And you're standing here—"

"Oh, it's not Master Li Niansheng who lives here, but Qin Qin, a famous swordsmith, who can cast six-grade holy soldiers, and I'm here to ask him to cast a sword. ”

"Then which of these villas is where Master Li Niansheng lives?"

"Master Li Niansheng's residence is still on the top, near the crater, but brother, I still have to advise you not to bother in vain, it is better to pick a famous swordsmith here to cast a sword. ”

"Thank you for your advice, but I'm still going to go up and have a look. ”

After saying that, Zhan Chen turned around and left, and the powerhouse of the middle rank of the Martial Saint looked at his back, but shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "At the beginning, I didn't think that I would definitely be able to get the sword like you, but in the end, it didn't fail?"

After leaving those villas, Zhan Chen continued to walk upward, and at this time he found that the trees around him were gradually becoming scarce, the soil under his feet had turned into a scorched dark brown, and there was a warm feeling surging under the soles of his shoes.

After walking for several miles, Zhan Chen found that there was a tall house built on the bare cliff in front of him, its unique shape, tightly attached to the mountain rock, and merged with the solid stone behind it, as if it had grown out of the mountain rock.

Although it was only at a glance, he confirmed that it was definitely the place where Master Li Niansheng lived, so he no longer hesitated, and walked up the stairs quickly to the front of the house, only to see that there were already a few people standing there.

Three of them obviously came to ask Li Niansheng to forge holy soldiers for them, two of them had a Martial Saint mid-level cultivation, and one even had a Martial Saint high-level cultivation, piled up at the door and entangled with the gatekeepers there.

That gatekeeper also has the cultivation of the first level of the Martial Saint, and he is heroic and has a lonely temperament. Zhan Chen looked a little familiar at first glance, but for a moment he couldn't be sure if he had seen this person, or where he had seen it.

I only heard that the strong man with the high-level cultivation of the Martial Saint stood up and said anxiously: "I came all the way from Yunze City to ask for a sword, and you didn't let me in?"

The gatekeeper replied coldly: "No one can do it! The master once commanded, he doesn't see anyone, please go back!"

"I'm willing to pay a high price, how many yuan stone do I want. ”

The gatekeeper did not answer him, his face was still like a statue, and he was not moved by it in the slightest.

This completely angered the Martial Saint high-level powerhouse, and he pointed at the gatekeeper's nose and scolded: "Boy, do you dare to stop me with only a mere Martial Saint beginner-level cultivation? Be careful that I destroy you with one move!"

The gatekeeper sneered, "Do you want to use force?"

"What's wrong with you!?" the other party took out his weapon at once.

The gatekeeper shouted into the room, "Senior Brother Shi Qingran, someone wants to make trouble." ”

"Who dares to be so bold?!" a tall man stepped out of the room, nine feet tall, with knotted muscles and explosive power.

When Zhan Chen saw this person, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout: "This is the Martial Saint Great Perfection Powerhouse!"

Yes, this Shi Qingran standing in front of them was the existence of the top rank of the Martial Saint. In the neutral region where the princes are divided and chaotic and turbulent, there may be nearly a thousand Martial Saint powerhouses, but there will definitely be no more than thirty people who really possess the Martial Saint Great Perfection cultivation, and each of them is either the overlord of one side or a master who has been hidden for a long time.

However, the appearance of such a master here made the powerhouse of the Martial Saint High Rank frightened and frightened.

"Well, do you still want to make trouble?" the gatekeeper looked at him mockingly.

"Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding just now!" the Martial Saint high-level powerhouse hurriedly squeezed out a smile.

"Then you guys don't get out of here?!"

"Yes, yes!" the three men had to flee down the hill in despair.

When Shi Qingran saw them leaving, he went to the gatekeeper and said, "Aoyun, since those flies have run away, I will go back to cultivate." As he spoke, he walked into the house.

"Aoyun-Li Aoyun!" Zhan Chen suddenly realized, and finally remembered that he was not the same Li Aoyun who forged the first eight-grade sword weapon for himself, the Tiger Roaring Sword?

"What's the matter, aren't you still leaving?" at this time, Li Aoyun asked Zhan Chen again.

Only then did he react, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Aoyun, don't come to harm." ”

"Do I know you?" Li Aoyun's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

Zhan Chen didn't answer him directly, but asked rhetorically, "Do you remember that you once forged a sword called the Tiger Roaring Sword?"

"Tiger Roaring Sword!" Li Aoyun's eyes bloomed with a glint of light, and then he sighed: "How could you forget? After all, that is one of the six eight-grade sword weapons that I have forged in my life." ”

"I am the one who asked you to forge a sword. ”

"You're Zhan Chen!" Li Aoyun thought about it for a long time.

"Not bad. A hint of joy appeared on Zhan Chen's face, as long as he recognized it, he might have the opportunity to meet Li Niansheng through Li Aoyun.

Li Aoyun asked again: "What about the Tiger Roaring Sword later?"

"I gave him to a seven-rank swordsmith. ”

Li Aoyun was stunned for a long time before he sighed: "That's fine, it's also worth it!"

Zhan Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he tried to ask, "Brother Aoyun, can I go in and meet your master." ”

Li Aoyun looked embarrassed and replied: "You and I are so fateful, we can see each other again in this vast sea of people, I shouldn't have rejected you, it's just that the master has an order, no visitor is seen, and I can't disobey him." ”

Zhan Chen's heart sank, but he suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "What if I have a treasure on my body that I want to give to your master and his old man?"

"It's useless, my master won't be tempted by anything!" Li Aoyun said with great certainty.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, please look at this sword of mine!" Zhan Chen said as he took out the shark hunting sword.

The sword body and fierce momentum instantly attracted the attention of Li Aoyun, the swordsmith, and after a closer look, his pupils shrank suddenly, stretched out his trembling fingers, pointed at it, and asked, "This, is this a nine-grade sword weapon?!"

Li Aoyun has practiced all the way, and he has seen a lot of eight-grade sword weapons, but when he saw this sword, he trembled with excitement. Yes, his intuition was telling him that the sword in front of him was the nine-grade sword weapon that countless swordsmiths longed for!

Zhan Chen also immediately confirmed this for him: "Yes, Brother Aoyun, this shark hunting sword is a veritable nine-grade sword weapon!"

Above the eight-grade sword weapon is the nine-grade sword weapon, and the swordsmith who can cast the nine-grade sword weapon is respected by everyone as the sword-casting master, that is, the ultimate realm pursued by the swordsmiths. However, there are very few swordsmiths who can reach this level in the long history of the Beihai Continent.

"Nine" represents the ultimate, even a swordsmith who can forge an eight-rank holy soldier cannot forge a lowest-grade nine-grade sword weapon for martial artists. Therefore, any nine-grade sword weapon, regardless of its rank, is tantamount to a peerless treasure in the eyes of the swordsmiths of the North Sea Continent.

Of course, Li Aoyun understood the meaning of this sword, "Zhan Chen, you wait here, I'll come when I go!"

As he spoke, he trotted into the house, and after a while, he led an old man with white hair and a fairy style to come out.

Li Aoyun first said to the old man: "Teacher, this is Zhan Chen. Then he said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, this is my master Li Niansheng." ”

Zhan Chen looked at Li Niansheng carefully, and there was also a high-level cultivation of the Martial Saint, so he hurriedly saluted him, and said, "Junior, Zhan Chen, meet Senior Li!"

Li Niansheng said: "Zhan Chen doesn't need to be polite, I heard that you have a nine-rank emperor weapon?"

"Yes, it's a fluke from the younger generation. ”

"Okay, let's go inside. Li Niansheng immediately turned into the room, obviously this swordsmith was also eager to see the Nine Rank Sword Weapon

So the three of them entered the room together and came to a wide hall, where Li Niansheng activated a mechanism.

Hearing a dull sound of "click", Zhan Chen found that the huge bookshelf on one side of the wall slowly moved, revealing a dark entrance.

Li Niansheng turned his head and said to Li Aoyun: "Aoyun, you go outside and guard, don't let people come in and disturb us." ”

Li Aoyun replied, "Yes, master." Then he turned and went out of the house, and went to be his gatekeeper again.

Zhan Chen and Li Niansheng walked into the entrance together, and as soon as the two entered the door, the bookshelf behind them "clicked" back to its original position.

Behind the entrance is a secluded secret passage that leads to the depths. Zhan Chen followed Li Niansheng in the secret passage, feeling curious, about a hundred meters or so, he began to feel that the temperature around him began to rise, and after another three hundred meters, the temperature in the air had climbed to about one hundred degrees.

Although such a high temperature is nothing for a Martial Saint powerhouse, Zhan Chen's cultivation is metallic True Yuan, and he is still very uncomfortable with this, at this moment, he suddenly saw a fiery red light appear in front of him, and his heart moved, thinking: "Could it be that the place in front of Li Niansheng's predecessor forged the sword weapon?"
