The small village where Zhang Si lived was hidden in the deep mountains, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, Zhan Chen followed him around the bends, came to the depths of the dense forest, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and a small village was presented in an inconspicuous small mountain pass.

There are only 100 households in the village, among which the peaches and plums are planted all over the place, and the fallen flowers are colorful, which is really like a paradise.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, such a place is really suitable for a master to live in seclusion. He saw that Xiao Si on the side was very excited, so he asked casually, "Xiao Si, you seem to be very excited." ”

"Well, I haven't been home for more than half a month. ”

"Oh?"

"Our family is too poor, and several brothers are looking for odd jobs to earn money in the town, and my fifth brother is very talented in martial arts, and when he saves enough money, we can have a way to send my younger brother to the martial arts hall. ”

When Zhan Chen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, so he said, "You take me to your Uncle Li immediately, if I really ask for the sword, I will give you a large sum of money, enough for all six of you brothers to go to the martial arts hall!"

"Oh no!" Zhang Si's eyes bloomed with excitement and hope.

"Hmm!" Zhan Chen looked at him kindly and nodded with a smile.

So the two walked into the village and came to a dilapidated house. From afar, they heard a rhythmic clanging of hammers striking iron.

Zhan Chen's heart was full of excitement, and he hurriedly stepped forward, he had never seen what it was like to forge a sword.

When he got closer, he saw the door of the room open, and in the midst of it, an unkempt and unkempt young man was holding up the hammer in his hand and tapping a sword mold in his hand with all his attention, not noticing that anyone was coming.

Zhan Chen was immediately fascinated, and his eyes stared directly at the movements of his hands, because he could see that every time the other party struck the sword mold, he was full of exquisite force control, and he had invaded the martial arts for many years, so he could naturally see the kung fu in it.

"This young man's martial arts attainments are definitely above his own! And judging by his cultivation, he is only at the level of the Great Perfection of a Martial Master, and he has not yet reached the realm of Martial Venerable. Zhan Chen suddenly had a feeling that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and he was ashamed.

At this time, Zhang Si wanted to say hello to the sword-forging youth, but was stopped by Zhan Chen.

Zhang Si immediately came to his senses, and followed him to watch the young man forge the sword carefully, not daring to make a little noise.

At this moment, a discordant voice came from the other side: "You are Li Aoyun?"

Zhan Chen and Zhang Si followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a brightly dressed boy and brother walking towards him, gently shaking the folding fan, but like Zhan Chen, he also had a high-level cultivation of a martial artist, and behind him, there was also a gray-haired old man.

Zhan Chen's gaze was immediately attracted by the old man behind Gongzi, his cultivation was indistinct, but there was an explosive power hidden in every move.

"This old man is a martial arts powerhouse!" he was secretly vigilant in his heart, he would not be mistaken. Now he is even more sure that the young man in front of him is the Li Aoyun he is looking for, and the fact that your son can go to this deep mountain to ask for a sword also explains his identity.

Li Aoyun did not answer the words of the noble son, and continued to hit the sword embryo with an iron hammer.

The noble prince called out impatiently: "Are you Li Aoyun?

Li Aoyun glanced up at him at this time, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "I don't want anyone to disturb me when I forge my sword." ”

"Haha, okay, I'm here to ask you to build a sword today, you can make a price!"

Li Aoyun glanced at him and said, "250 medium-grade yuan stones." ”

"What? 250 medium-grade yuan stones! You really think I'm two hundred and five!" the boy suddenly screamed.

Zhang Si on the side held back desperately, not letting himself laugh.

"Hmph, you dare to be unreasonable to our son!" At this time, the old man beside the son walked up to Li Aoyun and glared at him angrily, and the powerful momentum of the martial arts powerhouse erupted.

Even Zhan Chen, who was standing far away, felt a strong pressure rushing towards him, not to mention Li Aoyun, who was facing him directly.

However, Li Aoyun, who only had the realm of the Great Perfection of Martial Arts, stared at the old man's eyes indifferently, did not give an inch, and said slowly: "I said that 250 medium-grade Yuan Stones, not one of them is missing. ”

"Boy, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will do it?" said the old man coldly.

Li Aoyun did not have the slightest fear.

"Old Yun, teach him a lesson!" the boy behind the old man shouted again.

"Boy, Childe has ordered, I want to give you some color, don't blame me for doing it!" After Yun Lao finished speaking, he directly raised his fist, carrying a huge force of ten thousand catties, and slammed towards Li Aoyun's chest, with a speed like a cannonball.

Zhan Chen only saw the movement of his hand raised, and he couldn't see how he hit that punch at all, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, Li Aoyun was in danger, he was hit by such a punch, he was either killed or injured, and with the ability of a martial artist, he couldn't dodge at all!

However, the next scene gave Zhan Chen a stronger impact on his spirit, only to see Li Aoyun's palm stretched out like electricity, calmly facing the opponent's fist.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yun Lao's mouth, as if he had seen Li Aoyun's bones shattered by himself.

I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", the fist made contact with the palm, and the imaginary sound of bones breaking did not appear, and Li Aoyun's palm had firmly grasped Yun Lao's fist at this time.

Everyone present except Li Aoyun had a shocked look on their faces.

Yun Lao shouted in disbelief: "Li Aoyun!

Li Aoyun only smiled slightly when he heard this: "Old man, why do I need to hide my cultivation? What you see is my true cultivation." ”

"No! I don't believe that a martial artist of the Great Perfection of Martial Arts can compete with a martial artist of the first rank of Martial Venerable! If my strength is twice as strong as yours, what kind of trick have you played. ”

At this time, Li Aoyun looked at him seriously and said, "You are wrong, I didn't play it at all?" Yes, your strength is far superior to mine, but I used my skill to dissolve your strength, that's all. ”

was flattened by a junior who cultivated to a level lower than himself, and the old man was really a little embarrassed, and he was stunned for a while.

"Why do you still want to come?" Li Aoyun took a step closer to them.

The noble prince behind Yun Lao looked at Li Aoyun who was standing proudly, and a sense of fear rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout: "Yun Lao, let's go, this Li Aoyun is too evil." After saying that, he slipped away with his tail between his legs.

Only then did the old man come back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted, "Childe, wait for the old man!" and hurriedly followed him and left.

And this scene was deeply imprinted in Zhan Chen's heart on the side, and at this moment, his eyes seemed to be replaying repeatedly, Li Aoyun used his flesh palm to catch the scene of the martial arts powerhouse striking with all his might.

"Is this a genius? Is this a leapfrog challenge?" The martial artist crossed a level to fight against Wu Zun, which was almost a fantasy in Zhan Chen's heart. And today, right here, a young man who is not a few years older than him has performed this shocking scene for him, which makes his heart unsettled for a long time.

"Wu Zun can be defeated with the strength of a martial artist!Maybe I can do it too!" Zhan Chen's heart fluctuated violently, his fists clenched tightly, maybe his revenge time would be greatly advanced!

At this time, I heard the junior next to me shouting: "Uncle Li!"

Li Aoyun turned his head and looked at Xiao Si, a rare smile appeared on his cold face, and asked, "Xiao Si, I saw you coming, who is this person?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhan Chen.

Xiao Si introduced: "This senior is here to ask for a sword. ”

Li Aoyun glanced at Zhan Chen and said, "I just said that if you want me to cast a sword, I will first hand over 250 medium-grade yuan stones, this is my price, it is the same for everyone!"

"250 medium-grade yuan stones, this price is 5 times the price of those large sword casting workshops in the market, no wonder few people come here to find him to cast swords, this price is really outrageous. At this moment, Zhan Chen was also hesitating to spend such a big price to build this sword, not to mention that he didn't know how much more powerful the sword Li Aoyun forged would be than those Sword Casting Pavilions.

At this time, the clever Zhang Si saw Zhan Chen's troubles on the side, so he said coquettishly to Li Aoyun: "Uncle Li, the price you want is too high, can it be cheaper for my sake?"

"Oh, have you learned to bargain with me?" a smile appeared on Li Aoyun's grim face.

"This senior is good to me, you can be cheaper. Zhang Si said as he pulled the corner of Li Aoyun's clothes and begged.

Li Aoyun was obviously helpless against him, he glanced at Zhan Chen and said, "Okay, for the sake of Zhang Si's face, I will lower the price for you, 200 medium-grade yuan stones, no less." Do you want it?"

Zhan Chen weighed it again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I want this sword, 200 yuan will be 200 yuan, and I will give it to you!"

After he finished speaking, he directly took out 200 medium-grade yuan stones from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Li Aoyun, but his heart hurt a lot.

Li Aoyun was stunned when he saw him so happy, and asked, "You handed over the Yuan Stone to me so quickly, can you rest assured?"

Zhan Chen stared at him for a long time before he said, "I trust you, give me a good sword!"

"Okay! it's really refreshing!" Li Aoyun is obviously also a lover, and he likes Zhan Chen's generosity very much.

"What kind of sword weapon do you need?, including the attributes of the sword, the specifications, and the sword ornaments, just mention it, I will try my best to do it," he said to Zhan Chen again.

"Request?" Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, he didn't have much research on the details, so he said: "I need a metallic long sword, as for the rest, Brother Li can play to his heart's content." ”

"Ten days later, you come to get the sword!" Li Aoyun dropped a sentence and was about to turn around and go back to the house.

"Wait!" Zhan Chen suddenly shouted.

So, Li Aoyun turned his head again and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything else to add or explain?" He thought that Zhan Chen had remembered some new request.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly, but asked, "Can I stay and watch you forge a sword?"
