Chapter 63: It's not easy to make money
Tong Xiaoye stayed in the backyard of the Divine Hammer Hall for three days, and he became familiar with the people here.
Senior Brother Zhou's name is Zhou Qing, a monk in the contemplation period, with a fire spirit root, in the Divine Hammer Hall is responsible for fire control, it is said that his spiritual root is too poor to build a foundation, so he was sent by the headquarters to guard the spiritless land for 20 years, and after 20 years, he will be rewarded with a foundation building pill.
Senior Brother Zhou thought that his qualifications were mediocre and hopeless, and staying in the branch hall of the Qianlong Continent was also ridiculed, so it was better to come here to fight for a way out, so he followed his master who was also hopeless.
There are also Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li, and Senior Sister Wang in the backyard of the Divine Hammer Hall, all of whom are Qi refining period cultivators, and they are all garbage spirit roots, speaking of which, Zhou Qing's cultivation is still the highest in this group of people.
Because of this, I got the beauty of recruiting new people, and I could sit and rest for half a day.
As for the hopeless foundation building master, Tong Xiaoye didn't see it at all, and he heard that he was invited by the people of the Glory Hall to forge weapons, and he didn't come back until a week later.
In other words, if Tong Xiaoye can't complete the task within a week, he won't even have the qualifications to meet the master.
In fact, speaking of which, this Divine Hammer Hall is not just a shop for forging weapons, it originally belonged to Wanqing Valley, one of the seven major cultivation sects of the Qianlong Continent, and the senior brothers and sisters stationed here are all disciples at the bottom of Wanqing Valley, only because they like refining weapons and can endure hardships, they reluctantly entered the sect, but they didn't stay in the sect for a few years before they were sent to this desolate and soulless place.
"Ono, I'll teach you, hammering the sword blank is very simple, it's a hammer, a hammer, a hammer, just hammer it into a flat strip!" Senior Sister Wang's name is Wang Shanmiao, a second-order martial artist, the only physical cultivator among the four, and Senior Brother Li Shaofei is a Taoist couple, and the husband and wife are hopeless in building a foundation, so they simply came here together. It's good to live a respectable life.
Although the tempers of these four people are strange, they are all casual people, otherwise they would not give up the rich cultivation resources on the Qianlong Continent. Coming to this place where spiritual energy is scarce, Tong Xiaoye gets along with them very happily. What to say, stay relaxed.
"Senior Sister Wang, why did you smash it so easily, but it only changed a little when I exhausted all my strength!"
Tong Xiaoye looked at the obedient fine iron under Wang Shanmiao's hammer, and then looked at the one under his hammer that didn't respond no matter how he smashed it, and he was very puzzled.
It stands to reason that she can now carry a weight of two thousand catties, which is comparable to the strength of a second-order martial artist. Why is it so hard to smash a boulder?
Wang Shanmiao is a god hammer hall specializing in forging magic weapons rough blanks, wheat-colored skin, sexy and sturdy figure, and she is also hearty and generous, she skillfully pounded the sword blank, and said with a smile: "When smashing the sword blank, you have to treat it as a disobedient child, and follow its temper to smash it by feeling, if you rely on strength alone, it will be too time-consuming." I have to smash several sword blanks every day, how can I have so much effort. ”
"Jingtie still has a temper?" It was the first time Tong Xiaoye had heard this kind of statement, and he felt a little incredible.
"yes. The materials that can forge magic weapons are not ordinary, and you will know after smashing it for a long time, even this lowest-grade refined iron has its own temper. ”
It turned out that the fine iron that he hammered down like a stubborn stone was actually the lowest grade material.
Tong Xiaoye swung the hammer, learned Wang Shanmiao's rhythm, and sensed it seriously.
The change in Jingtie is still very small, but she tirelessly smashes it, adjusting the angle and force at any time. After three days, I finally felt a little bit of it.
But it feels like this kind of thing is mysterious. Relatively speaking, she mainly relies on strength. A week later, the iron was finally smashed into pieces of iron, and it was still far from the appearance of the sword blank.
But Zhou Qing was already happy to fly, "Ono, you will be my junior brother in the future, work hard, I will give you a boost in a month, three spirit stones a day!" ”
Three lower grade spirit stones!
This treatment is really good, Tong Xiaonohara planned to leave after a week, and after listening to Zhou Qing's temptation, he suddenly couldn't move.
It's just a spirit stone for a day of hard work in the mine, although it's very hot here, but gritting your teeth and putting up with it, it's hard to find a suitable odd job, so let's do it first!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Tong Xiaoye has been beating iron in the Divine Hammer Hall for a month, and now it only takes three days to hammer a piece of stubborn iron into a rough billet of a flying sword, and she has been complacent for a long time.
As a result, on the day of the salary increase, her bowels were green with remorse.
It turns out that the tempering of stubborn iron mentioned before is just the foundation, and the so-called earth fire furnace is only hotter than ordinary fire, and the real forging room is on the third floor underground, which has the best fire attribute crystal nucleus specially brought by the ancestor of the Divine Hammer Hall from the Hidden Dragon Continent to make a gathering fire array, and there is a large number of earth fires collected from the depths of the Cangling Mountain Range, which is the place where the magic weapons are really forged.
The deep underground can't hide the heavy heat, so you can imagine how hot this place is!
Isn't this a pit person, the cultivators are really not honest, and they are still honest and honest in their physical cultivation!
Tong Xiaoye cursed secretly, and the moment he walked into the forging room, he even smelled the smell of his own hair burning.
The coat was already scorched and smoking, but fortunately, she had changed into the armor that Zhou Qing specially prepared for her before she came in, otherwise the close-fitting leather armor she bought at a high price would have been reimbursed, and she would have to be visited by everyone naked.
"Ono, do a good job, persist for three months, this armor will be yours, low-grade defensive magic weapons, it's hard to find outside!"
Zhou Qing smiled treacherously, even if he successfully tricked her into this furnace, he didn't forget to take good things and continue to tempt her.
Tong Xiaoye tugged at the corners of her mouth, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a puff of white smoke came out of her throat, and she opened her mouth for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
No wonder even if there are monks who persevere, they will work for a month at most and then leave, this is not work, this is throwing themselves into the furnace and committing suicide!
Although Zhou Qing has a fire spirit root, he can't stand the heat here, Wang Shanmiao is concentrating on striking iron on the side, Tong Xiaoye didn't bother to raise his head when he came in, Zhou Qing took her to the outermost edge of the sword-casting platform, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoye, you just strike iron here, when the rough blank will come out, the day's work will be done!" ”
After that, he fled the room like a rabbit, and before leaving, he pulled up the heavy stone door and shut all the heat in the stone door.
Tong Xiaoye felt that he was even hotter.
The heat was so hot that her head was dizzy, and it took her a long time to remember what Zhou Qing said: When will it be good and when will it come out, and the day's work will be finished?
Damn, it takes at least three days to build a rough billet, what do you mean, Senior Brother Zhou? Could it be that three spirit stones a day are counted like this, this is too pitiful!
She was about to go out to ask what was going on, when she heard Wang Shanmiao let out a long sigh of relief, "Xiao Ye, you are here, you came quite quickly, and it used to take at least two months to practice here when you came here!" ”
Tong Xiaoye looked at the graceful sword blank under her sledgehammer, swallowed hard and moistened his throat before asking, "Senior Sister Wang, is this what you hit today?" So fast! ”
"With the help of the Earth Stove, you'll be much faster!" Wang Shanmiao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said while wiping the sword blank: "If you want to beat faster, you must use the furnace here, otherwise the speed will be slow, and the impurities will not be completely refined, and the Divine Hammer Hall will not want such a work." ”
It turns out that the sword blanks I made last month are all scrap.
The Divine Hammer Hall spent two months spending spirit stones to train newcomers, which is really a big deal!
Tong Xiaoye was slightly embarrassed, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "But if I fight here for three days, I will definitely be roasted dry!" ”
Standing closer to Wang Shanmiao, beside her was the huge earth furnace, and she could hear the rattling of the skin and flesh on her body, "You can try it, the sword blank is tempered here very quickly, and it won't take a day's effort." Wang Shanmiao threw her an encouraging look, and picked up another piece of fine iron: "I have to make five rough billets every day, and the earth fire will help quickly." ”
Looking at the sword blank that had been tempered in less than a morning, Tong Xiaoye was a little convinced, and then looked at the delicately patterned silver armor on her body, she gritted her teeth, and also took a piece of stubborn iron and walked back to her place.
The force used to thrash it is smaller than before.
But it's even more difficult.
The raging flames continued to scorch her body, and she had to be constantly distracted to endure the pain of her skin being burned, and the pain in her body was constantly stimulating her mind, where would she concentrate on experiencing the veins of fine iron.
If it weren't for the Nine Transformations Fusion Yuan Gong and the little mushroom's aura to repair the injury quickly, she would definitely not want to suffer like this.
Moreover, the little mushroom exudes aura and absorbs medium-grade spirit stones, just in order to earn these three low-grade spirit stones every day, I don't know how many medium-grade spirit stones are wasted, which is a loss that makes people's hearts bleed.
When Wang Shanmiao's third sword blank was forged, she finally barely made the fine iron.
"Senior Sister Wang, I'll continue to fight this sword blank tomorrow, it's too rough."
The thickness of the sword blank is uneven, and the sword body is also curved, Tong Xiaoye knows that with the seriousness of the Divine Hammer Hall, he will definitely not accept such a work.
"It's okay, that's fine, leave it to me, the master has instructed, I will process the works you typed again."
Wang Shanmiao smiled and took the rough billet, took it to the stove and buried his head and beat it.
Her movements are powerful and her expression is serious, but with a stick of incense, she can make an imperfect rough blank flawless.
"You see, you have refined the impurities during the beating process, and I have saved a lot of effort." Wang Shanmiao handed her the sword blank, took the five swords she had made herself, and pulled Tong Xiaoye out of the forging room.
"It's still cool outside, I'm almost burned!" Couldn't wait to run back to the ground, Tong Xiaoye took a big breath of fresh air, and felt that the breath he exhaled was hot.
"Hey, you're not burned?" Zhou Qing glanced at her in surprise, and asked again: "What kind of kung fu are you cultivating, the physical exercise is really solid." (To be continued)
