The servant led Li Qiu to the lobby.

A tall, medium-looking, middle-aged man with a somewhat old appearance sat on a chair in a wide robe.

He seemed to be affected by the young man in the embroidered gold brocade robe just now, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face was not very good-looking, and half of the tea he drank was put aside on the table beside him.

"Sir, the guest brought it. The servant said.

Ouyang Xuan waved his hand, and the servant retreated.

He looked at Li Qiu, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he asked, "What are you looking for me?"

Ouyang Xuan got straight to the point as soon as he came up, and Li Qiu could see that he was in a bad mood, so he should be too lazy to be polite.

"I came to visit Master Ouyang today to ask Master Ouyang to help me reforge a sword. Li Qiu arched his hand.

Ouyang Xuan frowned, there were many people who begged him to cast a knife, but it was rare to ask him to make a knife again.

He barely forged knives now, and felt that it was very boring to forge some ordinary divine weapons, and only casting peerless divine weapons could make him interested and challenging.

"Is the sword you want me to reforge a peerless weapon?" asked Ouyang Xuan.

"It's not. Li Qiu shook his head and said.

Ouyang Xuan just wanted to open his mouth to send off the guest, but he heard Li Qiu continue.

"But it has the potential to be a peerless weapon. ”

Ouyang Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Is it because the treasure material fell into the dust of ordinary knife casters and only created a divine weapon, so they want me to reforge it?"

Li Qiu shook his head again, and untied the long knife and brocade box behind his back.

He opened the brocade box, revealing the red gold inside.

"My sword is made of black iron, not black iron mixed with red gold. Li Qiu explained.

"Black Iron Metallurgy?"

Black smelting iron is a rare and rare material in the world!

Ouyang Xuan's face changed slightly, and he walked quickly to Li Qiu's side and took the knife from his hand.

Swish!

The long knife was unsheathed, Ouyang Xuan looked at it eagerly, and nodded happily.

"Yes, it's black smelting iron!"

"Black smelting iron is rare, I have only seen one, and it is much smaller than the original material of this knife. ”

"This long knife forged from black smelting iron can be called priceless!"

Without waiting for Li Qiu to speak, Ouyang Xuan looked at the long knife and frowned.

"With such a shoddy technique of forging the knife, I estimate that the black iron used to forge this knife fell into the hands of an ordinary blacksmith who did not know the goods, and he regarded it as black iron. ”

Ouyang Xuan guessed the truth almost instantly.

"Yes. Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

"The treasure is covered with dust!" Ouyang Xuan stroked the blade of the long knife, shook his head and sighed.

"I wonder if my long knife made of black smelting iron is qualified for Master Ouyang to make a move?" Li Qiu asked.

Ouyang Xuan's expression was straight, he put down the long knife and returned to his seat.

"If this sword is reforged with red gold as an auxiliary material, it will almost certainly become a peerless divine weapon!"

"A peerless divine weapon, of course, is qualified for me to make a move, not only me, but I don't think any swordsmith in the world will refuse. ”

"But it's one thing for me to be willing to make a move, it's another thing for you to come up with something to ask me to help you reforge the long knife for you. ”

It's like one person is willing to sell something to another, but the other person has to pay for it, and it has to be a satisfactory price.

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and he took out a stack of silver tickets.

A thick stack of silver tickets!

"This is all my net worth, I only have these, I don't know if Master Ouyang can see it. ”

A small part of these silver tickets were obtained from Jin Li, and the rest were all obtained from Jiang Hongda.

Jiang Hongda, as a general of Yangwu who was enshrined by the imperial court, has been corrupt in Xingqing City for decades, especially after completely controlling Xingqing City.

The accumulation of his life is not a lot, plus Jin Li's life accumulation.

Even Ouyang Xuan, who was the world's top casting master and a martial artist in the Blood Condensation Period, couldn't get so many silver tickets for a while.

Ouyang Xuan's gaze swept over the silver ticket and shook his head.

"I'm sure that's your entire net worth, and the amount of money these silver tickets is quite impressive. ”

"But I don't pay attention to enjoyment, I think it's okay to spend enough gold and silver, and too much is useless. ”

"So, these silver tickets are not enough for me to forge a knife for you. ”

Li Qiu frowned.

"Sure enough, it didn't work?"

A strange glint flashed in Ouyang Xuan's eyes and he spoke.

"I have a suggestion, but it's up to you to do it?"

"Master Ouyang, please speak. ”

In fact, Ouyang Xuan wanted to reforge this black smelting iron long knife very much, so that another peerless divine weapon could be born in his hands.

In addition, Li Qiu took out so many silver tickets again.

Not only can he forge a peerless divine weapon to make himself more famous, but he can also get so many silver tickets, how can he not be willing.

But he had a more greedy idea in his heart, so he rejected Li Qiu.

Ouyang Xuan cleared his throat and said.

"If you're willing to give one-third of the black iron in return, I'll be willing to reforge the knife for you. ”

"As for the missing one-third of the material, I will take out the best iron material under the precious material to make it up for you. ”

"After this knife is reforged, it is still possible to become a peerless divine weapon!"

The precious materials that can be used to forge peerless divine weapons in the world are hard to find, and he will not be lucky enough to encounter him just because he is one of the top sword forging masters in the world.

For more than a hundred years, Ouyang Xuan had worked hard to collect treasures that could be used to forge peerless divine weapons, but he had only collected a few, which was enough to forge a short knife, but it was still far from a long knife.

If he had one-third of the black smelting iron of Li Qiu's sword, he would be able to create a peerless divine weapon, a peerless divine weapon of his own!

It's not that Ouyang Xuan hasn't cast peerless divine weapons, but after those peerless divine weapons were cast, they were all taken away by their masters.

The peerless divine weapon forged by one's own hands cannot be owned, which is the common pain point of all the top swordsmiths or swordsmiths in the world.

Although all the top swordsmiths or swordsmiths in the world also want to create a peerless divine weapon that they can make known to all the warriors in the world, so as to make themselves famous in the world and even leave a name for the ages!

Maybe a little greedy, but the two are not in conflict.

Ouyang Xuan has long been famous all over the world, as for whether he can leave a name for the ages, he doesn't know if he can leave a name for the ages, he doesn't want anything else now, he just wants to have a peerless divine weapon that he has created.

Listening to Ouyang Xuan's suggestion, Li Qiu frowned.

From almost certainly being able to become a peerless divine soldier to having the possibility of becoming a peerless divine soldier, the gap between the two is naturally needless to say.

Li Qiu didn't want to gamble on luck.

And even if a third of the black smelting iron long knife is missing, it is lucky to become a peerless god soldier after being reforged.

It is estimated that the sword should also be the lowest among the peerless divine weapons.

But if you don't accept Ouyang Xuan's suggestion at the moment, there seems to be no other way.

Li Qiu hesitated for a while, thinking about whether to accept Ouyang Xuan's suggestion.

For a moment, he remembered something.

Li Qiu raised his head, his expression moved slightly, and asked.

“......”

"I remember that there was a rumor that there was once a genius martial artist who came to the door with a piece of precious material and begged Master Ouyang to cast a knife, and finally he got what he wanted. ”

"As far as I know, that genius has neither a background nor gold or silver. ”

"I want to know, what did that genius rely on to impress Master Ouyang?"

When Ouyang Xuan heard this, his expression froze and he frowned.

He was silent for a moment and then said.

"Actually, it's very simple, I think he has the potential to become a martial saint, so I thought that he would forge a sword on the condition that he would promise me that he would do one thing for me when he became a martial artist in the future. ”

"One thing?

"If it's specific, I wonder if I can know what Master Ouyang said about it?" Li Qiu asked tentatively.

A trace of sadness appeared in Ouyang Xuan's eyes.

"It's not a secret. ”

"I don't know if you know that Naman Fortress in Gyeongju was slaughtered by ghosts seventy years ago?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Li Qiu's face, and he shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of this.

"That's right, this matter has been a long time ago, and the imperial court is trying its best to block this matter, so it's normal that you don't know. Ouyang Xuan sighed and said.

"Seventy years ago, a ghost appeared in Naman City, Gyeongju, to be precise, a weird, a monster that rivaled the strength of a martial artist in the late stage of the blood condensation period as soon as it was born!"

"As soon as that weird one was born, it emptied the yin qi within a radius of dozens of miles, and its strength was very terrifying. ”

"On top of that, it has a terrifying ability to unleash a contagious plague. ”

"Martial artists can't sense changes in yin qi, so no one knows about it when it's born. ”

By the time anyone knew of its existence, most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city had been infected with the plague. ”

"In order to prevent the plague from spreading to other places, the imperial court sent a large army to surround and blockade the city of Nan'an. ”

"At that time, our family lived in Nan'an City, and at that time, I heard that there was a spring in the north of Nan'an City, which was especially suitable for knife casting, so I moved to Nan'an City with my family temporarily.

At the time of the incident, I had a strong constitution as a martial artist and was not infected with the plague......"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xuan looked pained, and said in a trembling voice.

"But my wife and my children, who are not yet nine years old, are all infected with the plague. ”

"The imperial court collected the world's famous doctors, trying to defuse the plague and save the people of Nan'an City, but all the famous doctors were helpless, and finally came to a conclusion that the plague was terrible, and there was no medicine to cure it!"

"In Nan'an City, it was my daughter who died first, then my son, and finally my wife, all of them died!"

"I watched them die in front of me, but I couldn't do anything!"

"Then I swore that no matter what the cost, I would kill that monster to avenge my wife and children!"

"But I also kept the last shred of sanity, and I knew that with my strength at the time, if I broke into that strange birthplace, I would only die in vain. ”

"If I die, who will avenge my wife and children!"

"After all the people infected with the plague in Nan'an City died, the warriors who were not infected with the plague were released from Nan'an City. ”

"Nan'an City has become an empty city because of that strange existence, and it is blocked by the imperial court, and no one is allowed to approach. ”

"After coming out of Nan'an City, I worked hard to improve my strength, and gradually there were fewer forging knives, I want to use my own strength one day to kill the strange birthplace of Nan'an City, and kill it to avenge my wife and children!"

"After killing hundreds of thousands of people in Nan'an City, that monster's strength is already comparable to that of a martial saint!"

"I always dreamed of achieving the Martial Saint to kill that monster, but although my talent in martial arts is not low, it is also inferior to the qualifications that can achieve the Martial Saint. ”

"Decades ago, I broke through to the late stage of the blood coagulation stage, and I was only one step away from becoming a martial saint, but that step was like a heavenly moat. ”

"After breaking through to the late stage of the blood coagulation stage, my martial arts potential was exhausted, and my strength began to stagnate. ”

"Even as my body aged and my qi and blood decayed, my strength began to decline. ”

"I felt that I might not be able to take this path to avenge my children, so I began to forge knives again. ”

"My talent in knife casting can be said to be rare in ancient and modern times, even if it was abandoned for a long time in the middle, I finally became one of the top knife casting masters in the world. ”

"I want to use my ability to forge peerless divine weapons to invite a martial saint to avenge my wife and children. ”

"But no Martial Saint is willing to fight to the death for a peerless divine weapon and a strange one whose strength can rival that Martial Saint, after all, nothing is as important as life. ”

"What's more, I am not the only one in the world who is a master of knife casting......"

A bitter smile appeared on Ouyang Xuan's face.

"At that time, I felt that I might have no hope of revenge for the rest of my life. ”

"Until more than ten years ago, the genius in your mouth, he heard about it, and came to the door and gave me a little hope. ”

"He was in high spirits at the time, saying that he had the potential to become a martial saint, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, if I cast a peerless divine weapon for him, he will kill the weird monster in Nan'an City for me in the future when the martial arts are completed, and avenge me!"

"He is indeed highly qualified, he has reached the early stage of the cultivation period at the same age as you, and there is a very high possibility that he can become a martial saint. ”

"I was moved by him at the time, and he was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he took action to forge a peerless magic weapon for him. ”

When Li Qiu heard this, his expression moved slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

But alas, within a few years after that, he died at the hands of someone else. ”

Ouyang Xuan shook his head and sighed deeply.

That genius gave him a little hope when he was about to despair, and finally made him lose that little hope, completely desperate.

By now, Ouyang Xuan felt that he had no hope of avenging his wife and children in his life, and had given up.

"It's not a secret about me, I deliberately preached it at the time, hoping to attract another genius who has the potential to become a martial saint. ”

"But in fact, it was just an attempt that I felt unwilling to take a chance, and there is no such coincidence in the world. ”

"Let me meet two people who have the potential to achieve martial saints, and who are also lucky enough to pick up treasures that can be forged into peerless divine weapons. ”

After a pause, Ouyang Xuan seemed to think of something, a touch of anger appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly.

"The geniuses who have the potential to become a Martial Saint have not been attracted, but they have attracted many arrogant and conceited people who think they have the potential to become a Martial Saint. ”

"Just now, the son of Yang Shi, the commander of the Fuzhou Heavenly Division, came to my mansion with his subordinates holding a piece of treasure material, and wanted me to cast a magic weapon for him. ”

"Let's not say that he doesn't have the qualifications to achieve a martial saint at all, I think he won't avenge me even if he achieves a martial saint, he just wants to trick me into making a move. ”
