After walking for about two hundred meters, they finally reached the end of the secret passage, Zhan Chen only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he entered an incomparably open cave, about a hundred zhang square, more than thirty meters high. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This cave is naturally formed, deep in the center of the volcano, so the temperature is naturally very high, and in the center of the cave, there is a tall refining furnace, next to the refining furnace, there are also casting sword models, tempering sword bodies, quenching and other various utensils, there are dozens of pieces.

Looking at this, Zhan Chen's eyes showed emotion, he had never thought that he would need so many tools to forge a good holy soldier.

Just as he was fascinated, Li Niansheng's voice came from the side: "Zhan Chen, can you borrow your Nine Rank Emperor Weapon to take a look at the old man." ”

Only then did he come back to his senses, looked at Li Niansheng, and found that the old man's eyes were shining with a childlike curiosity, which was probably the persistence of a swordsmith.

"Absolutely. Zhan Chen took out the shark hunting sword as he said and handed it to Li Niansheng.

Li Niansheng carefully took the sword, began to carefully observe every line on it, then closed his eyes and gently stroked the sword body with his hand. Suddenly, he accidentally touched the sharp toothed blade of the shark hunting sword, and his finger was cut, leaving blood.

But Li Niansheng didn't seem to be aware of this, but continued to feel the sharpness of the sword more carefully with his hands, until his hands were full of blood.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen seemed to understand why the old man in front of him could become a well-known eight-grade swordsmith in the neutral region.

For half a day, Li Niansheng's mind was attracted by this sword, and he couldn't extricate himself, and after half a day, his spirit seemed to return to his body.

When he came back to his senses, he put the sword on the shelf on the side first, and sighed: "Although this sword is only an imperial weapon, the production process is ingenious, and the connection everywhere is also natural, it really doesn't look like a work in the world, I can't go far!"

Zhan Chen asked curiously on the side, "Master, have you seen anything from this?"

"This sword of yours belongs to an ancient sword, its real age should be no less than a million years, I don't know which Nine Rank Sword Forger it came from. ”

"Millions of years, it's impossible!" Zhan Chen exclaimed in surprise: "Can an imperial weapon withstand the baptism of a million years? I'm afraid it will have already decayed!"

"It's true, its refining techniques have long been lost, and I have been able to identify some of the tempering techniques on it through some ancient book fragments, as for why it can remain immortal, I think it has nothing to do with its constant killing and drinking blood, millions of years of reincarnation, countless tosses and turns, Zhan Chen, thank you for letting me see it!"

Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, made a decision, and said to Li Niansheng: "Master, I want to give this sword to you as a gift, because in my hands, it is at best a murderous weapon, but in your hands, it is much more useful, and it may be able to reveal the refining method of the Nine Rank Weapon for us." ”

Li Niansheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Zhan Chen, you said this well, so that I can't refuse." After a pause, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to use this as a condition for me to help you forge a holy soldier." ”

Zhan Chen smiled slightly and admitted, "That's true, I have admired your sword-forging skills for a long time!"

"Okay, I'll promise you. ”

"Really?" Zhan Chen was ecstatic, still not believing what he was hearing.

"Of course it's true, I, Li Niansheng, have always been true to my word!" Li Niansheng also told him categorically.

"Great, I'll give you as much honorarium as you need!" Zhan Chen said again.

Li Niansheng pondered for a long time and said, "Then I won't be polite to you, 300,000 top-grade yuan stones, this is the most basic material cost." ”

"No problem!" Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, 300,000 top-grade Yuan Stones could take down an eighth-grade holy soldier, there was nothing cheaper than this.

"Okay, let's talk about what you want first-" Before Li Niansheng's words fell, they suddenly heard a roar in the distance, and it was coming from the other end of the secret passage.

"What's going on, could it be that someone really dares to break through?" Li Niansheng couldn't help but be stunned, but there was his big apprentice Shi Qingran guarding outside, who would be so bold and come to the door? Could it be that it was a strong person of other martial saint Great Perfections?

"Master, do you want to go out and have a look?" Zhan Chen asked uncertainly.

"Let's go!"

So Li Niansheng was in front, and Zhan Chen followed him out of the secret passage, but he saw that the fight was already raging outside, and he saw an old man in black robe who was also childish, holding a black thin sword, and was fighting with Shi Qingran.

Compared with Li Niansheng, his face can be much more fierce, eagle nose, bee eyes, thin humiliation, his eyes are glowing red, stubborn, fierce and vicious, a sharp sword is as fast as lightning, and he greets Shi Qingran's vital point.

And Shi Qingran seemed to be invincible, and the sword in his hand only defended his body, not attacked. Li Aoyun on the side couldn't help much, so he could only avoid the two of them from a distance, watching all this helplessly.

Seeing that the black-robed old man was fierce, but Zhan Chen was not worried about Shi Qingran, the reason was very simple, because the cultivation of the black-robed old man was only a high-level martial saint, and if he wanted to move the real character, he would have been defeated by Shi Qingran a long time ago.

Li Niansheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the black-robed old man, and then called, "Senior brother, how did you find here?"

Only then did Zhan Chen suddenly realize that the black-robed old man in front of you was none other than Shen Hongmo, another eight-rank sword-casting master on the same level as Li Niansheng.

Shi Qingran also shouted helplessly: "Master, please persuade Uncle Shi quickly, I will say it, he just doesn't stop, he has to see you." ”

Li Niansheng hurriedly shouted to Shen Hongmo: "Senior brother, stop quickly, can't we still fight each other if we haven't seen each other for five hundred years? I have already figured out those grievances and grievances!"

Shen Hongmo saw that Li Niansheng had come out, so he stopped, and he scolded: "Li Niansheng, it's been five hundred years! Do you think I'll just leave it at that? In the past five hundred years, you have become famous and famous all over the world, and I can only gradually be forgotten by others, hiding in a dark corner and studying alone. However, the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and I have finally made a big breakthrough over the years, and my sword-casting skills have reached a higher level. Now is the time for my king to return and defeat you once and for all to regain my reputation, and I want you to taste the taste of this ruined reputation!"

Li Niansheng listened to his radical words, couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Senior brother, you have not been completely forgotten, and now you are still famous in the sword-casting world, but you have disappeared for a long time, since that game, I regret it very much, you recall, at the beginning, you and I were under the teacher's teaching, learning and studying sword-casting together, how harmonious and happy it was to forge a sword together, but why did you come to this point now?"

Li Niansheng's words also made Shen Hongmo stunned for a moment, but then he said: "Anyway, now that the water is over, you and I have become enemies, and there will never be a day of reconciliation!"

"No, junior brother, as long as we let go of the past, we can turn a new page. ”

"Impossible!"

At this time, Li Niansheng saw that he was stubborn, and he had a plan, so he suddenly turned his head and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, how about you lend me your nine-grade sword weapon first?"

Zhan Chen replied: "I have already said that the sword will be given to you, Master." ”

On the other side, Shen Hongmo's ears were very sharp, and he caught the conversation between the two of them at once, and asked, "Wait, what did the two of you say about the Nine Rank Sword Weapon just now?"

Li Niansheng saw that his strategy had worked, so he smiled and said, "This Zhanchen Xiaoyou has a nine-grade sword weapon, and I am planning to crack its refining technique to improve my sword-casting skills." ”

Shen Hongmo couldn't help but be shocked when he heard his words, and secretly thought, "It's not good, I can't let Senior Brother crack that sword weapon, otherwise my sword-forging skills may never be able to surpass him." So he pretended not to believe it and said, "Pull it down, senior brother, you will also brag, how can the nine-grade sword weapon be so good." ”

"If you don't believe me, you can come inside and have a look. ”

"Okay, just see! I'd like to see if the so-called nine-grade sword weapon in your mouth is real. ”

So, Li Niansheng led him and Zhan Chen into the house again. Li Aoyun and Shi Qingran, who were standing outside, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The three of them came to Li Niansheng's sword casting room again, Shen Hongmo saw the shark hunting sword at a glance, hurriedly stepped forward, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and from time to time he also let out bursts of exclamation, compared to Li Niansheng, Shen Hongmo was more obsessed with this sword, because the shark hunting sword was originally a magic sword, and only in the hands of demon cultivators could it exert its most powerful power.

Shen Hongmo has always cast magic swords, if he can crack the mystery of this sword, the sword-casting technique will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, maybe he will be one step ahead of Li Niansheng and break through the Jiupin swordsmith.

Seeing that he held the sword for a long time and refused to put it down, Li Niansheng couldn't help but smile and asked, "Senior Brother Shen, you should believe it this time." ”

Shen Hongmo was awakened by him, and said unhappily: "Hmph, so what!"

Li Niansheng deliberately said again: "Since you have also seen the sword, shouldn't you also leave my house?"

"No-you want to drive me away, I can't leave, there is a kind of we will fight again!" Shen Hongmo, an eight-grade swordsmith, actually played a scoundrel, and simply sat on the table on the side.

Seeing that Li Niansheng and Zhan Chen couldn't help laughing, Li Niansheng hurriedly stopped his smile and said, "Then what do you want?"

"It's very simple, either you let me take this nine-rank sword weapon away-"

"Why, this is ours!" Li Niansheng pretended to be angry.

"Either let me stay and crack the mystery of this sword. Shen Hongmo finally said his true thoughts.

"Hmph, can you understand the subtleties of the Nine Rank Sword Weapon?"

"Why not! I've always been forging magic swords, so I should be able to comprehend the mystery of this sword even better!"

"Okay, let's see who can figure it out first!"

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!"

Zhan Chen on the side looked at these two old-timers who were respected in the eyes of others, and they were arguing with each other, and he also felt quite interesting, but he didn't forget the purpose of this trip, so he shouted: "Senior Shen, this shark hunting sword was originally mine, and I gave it to Senior Li because he promised to cast an eight-grade sword weapon for me, but you-"

Shen Hongmo immediately called: "Zhan Chen, don't give him the sword, give him the sword, it's better to give it to me, I can forge a better sword weapon than him for you." ”

"Zhan Chen, don't listen to him, the sword I forged is the most suitable for you!" Li Niansheng was not far behind.

Zhan Chen's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to go under the soup and said: "I don't know which predecessor's skills are higher, otherwise my sword will be handed over to you to study together, but you have to promise to cast a sword for me after research, since you said before that you will try to be superior, it is better for me to act as this referee, and then see whose sword casting is better, can you?"

Li Niansheng smiled and said, "Zhan Chen, it's okay, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Shen won't dare to accept it." Speaking of which, he deliberately glanced at him.

Shen Hongmo sneered and replied, "It's better than it, I'll use facts to seal your mouth!"
