Chapter 43: Spiritual Forging Revival

After Jiang Heng and the others received a reply from the Emperor of the Tianyang Empire, they hurried to the predetermined location to join the other pioneers, this time they were preparing to surprise a huge supply convoy of the Danyang Empire, once successful, it would inevitably delay their offensive situation.

And the masters sent by Yi Zhouyang to assist the Danyang Empire were all sent to various countries to help protect the safety of the transportation of materials.

It has been a while since Tianhua Sect accepted Xin, and the new disciples have basically adapted to this place, and they have started a new spiritual life here.

With Jiang Heng going to the Tianyang Empire to carry out the mission, the task of teaching the rookie disciples of Tianhua Peak basically fell on Lin Zixu, he had been standing behind Jiang Heng to assist him all these years, and this time he finally had the opportunity to go to the forefront.

Lin Zixu cherished this opportunity very much, during this time, he taught the cultivation of many newcomers every day, and gained a lot of support, his reputation rose greatly among newcomers, and even many elders were satisfied with his performance.

Su Cheng, as this year's dark horse, is also taken care of by Lin Zixu in Tianhua Peak, and often instructs him to practice, and he has made rapid progress recently, and he also has great popularity among newcomers.

As the best year of harvest in the Spirit Forging Hall, Du Chunhua couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he also let go of a lot of things, and tried his best to teach these newcomer disciples, after all, there were many newcomers who did not have the slightest forging foundation this year, and he spent a lot of effort on this, but fortunately, these people's talents are good, even if they learn from scratch, they have a good future.

Shi Xuan can be said to be the busiest person recently, in addition to his daily practice and forging, due to his superb forging skills, many newcomers are very close to him, and often ask him for advice, Zhao Zhuo is worthy of being a newcomer with excellent talent, although he has no forging foundation, but his talent is excellent, and he has made rapid progress recently, and is pestering Shi Xuan to call him that magical hammer method.

In front of the huge furnace, the two figures were busy, the light of the fire illuminated the two of them red, and their bodies were dripping with sweat, but they did not retreat in the slightest, "This hammer method was taught to me by my first forging master, you have to look carefully", Shi Xuan took out a piece of first-order metal that had just been calcined, and began to perform his hammer technique.

Zhao Zhuo was amazed when he looked at it from the sidelines, as a genius with excellent talent, he was the first of all newcomers to feel the unique spirituality of metal, which also showed that his talent was excellent, and he could have enough opportunities to become an excellent spirit forging master as long as he worked hard in the future.

Zhao Zhuo carefully felt Shi Xuan's hammer method, the unique rhythm and skills opened his eyes, "The person who invented this hammer method is really a genius, with this hammer method, it will be of great help to forging in the future", Zhao Zhuo was eager to try.

Soon Shi Xuan forged a piece of spiritual metal, "You try it, the hammer method is only an auxiliary means, the key depends on your spiritual power, you must carefully comprehend his unique characteristics", Shi Xuan said.

Zhao Zhuo studied his hammer method decently, these days have been a little bit of a situation, since these newcomers joined, the entire Spirit Forging Hall has a fresh air, that is, those senior brothers who have been in the past few years have felt the pressure, these people's talents are too good.

In addition to the forging technique, the Spirit Forging Hall naturally has to practice as normally as other peaks, in previous years, it was impossible to receive talented disciples, even the head of the sect also relaxed the requirements for the Spirit Forging Hall, although the annual assessment did not meet the requirements, but because of the particularity of their profession, they were not punished. But this year, Dai Tiande personally ordered to focus on the assessment of the Spirit Forging Hall, the Spirit Array Hall, and the Spirit Pill Hall, all three of which are important halls of the Tianhua Sect.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo have become good friends in life, the two have similar exercises, and they often learn together, complementing each other, no one at the same level in the Spirit Forging Hall has been able to tie with Shi Xuan's flame control ability, Zhao Zhuo's strength has reached the fifth order, the flame control ability is excellent, and Shi Xuan has also learned a lot from him.

In the martial arts arena, Shi Xuan was practicing his Fire Meteor Technique, and at this moment his control proficiency had reached a fairly high level, Zhao Zhuo was using his fire system skills to fight with him, even if Zhao Zhuo was wearing a third-order spirit armor and holding a powerful fire dragon in his hand, he did not take advantage of Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan's perverted control skills interrupted his spell casting many times, and the timing was very clever, and his fire body meteor chased Zhao Zhuo as if his eyes were raised, and soon the field was flooded by the sea of fire, and Zhao Zhuo's speed was extremely fast and difficult to get rid of.

"Your control skills are really too perverted, although my attack power is stronger than yours, but I am often dodged by you, and I can't get rid of your precise attacks, why is this?" Zhao Zhuo had a feeling that he couldn't use his strength.

"If your mental control is not enough, the control of the flames will fall behind, and I have successfully seized your spell casting opportunity every time, which has successfully interrupted your offensive rhythm, and if the rhythm is out of order, it will naturally fall into disadvantage", Shi Xuan explained.

"It seems that I have been focusing on cultivating powerful spiritual skills before, which is not correct, I have neglected the precise control of flames, and I must make up for it in the future, otherwise I will inevitably suffer a loss when I walk on the continent", Zhao Zhuo felt the extraordinaryness of this young man, you must know that he is also a fire system, and he is chased and beaten by him despite his fifth-order strength, which makes him so depressed.

"Our fire spirit master has never lacked powerful means of attack, what is lacking is accurate control ability and long-lasting combat ability, fire system exercises are strong and domineering, and the damage to themselves is also huge, without the support of strong spiritual power, we are very willing to not hurt the enemy, and hurt a few first", Shi Xuan found the key.

"The spiritual power of each attribute has its own characteristics, the power of the fire system is domineering, and the spiritual power consumption is huge; the spiritual power of the earth system is amazing, and it has a natural protective ability; the control ability of the wood system is extremely strong, and it has a good healing ability, but the attack is insufficient; the physical attack ability of the gold system is excellent, and the spiritual power of the aura is extremely weak; the spiritual power of the water system is endless, and the lethality of the control is extraordinary, and the lethality of the lightning spirit master is terrifying, but it is also easy to hurt itself, and it lacks the means of control", Zhao Zhuo thought a lot.

"Many elements in the world are mutually reinforcing, since our elemental affinity is difficult to change, as long as we can give full play to his ability, we are not fighting alone, a team can make up for the defects caused by the elements", Shi Xuan had a new understanding.

After a contest, the two teenagers sat on the edge of the martial arts platform and looked at the incomparable scenery of Tianhua Sect, discussing their cultivation experience, the back mountain of the Spirit Forging Hall was full of smoke, which was caused by countless newcomers practicing the Spirit Forging, as if it was a thriving scene, which also meant the rise of the Spirit Forging Hall.

In the evening, Du Chunhua summoned all the disciples to the main hall to announce something, he happily looked at these new faces and said: "These days, the addition of you newcomers has brought a new atmosphere to our Spirit Forging Hall, as an important hall of the sect, we have great pressure on our bodies, the situation on the mainland has been unstable recently, and the sect often has to send disciples to perform tasks, which has increased the demand for spirit forging equipment." These days, we have also received a large order from the sect, this batch of spirit forging equipment you need to complete before the autumn harvest, the spirit materials will be sent in a few days, you have to prepare in advance", Du Chunhua held a thick order in his hand, he handed the order to Du Qifeng and he assigned the task.

The situation on the mainland was felt even by those disciples who did not go out of the mountain, and the disciples were all talking about it.

Du Chunhua continued: "This mission will have a lot of contribution points, because the task is urgent, the old man has added a lot of contribution points to the sect, which is good for your future cultivation." Soon after, the trial ground of our sect will be opened, and you will be able to enter it at that time, and there will definitely be a lot of strength improvement."

Many newcomers were excitedly theorizing about the place of trial, "What is the place of trial?" someone asked the senior brothers.

"This is a special big secret realm of our Tianhua Sect, I heard that it has been passed down from ancient times, and it is very suitable for us low-level spirit masters to take risks and practice, and if you have a good opportunity, you can quickly improve your strength, but you can only open it once a year, and if you miss it, you will have to wait another year", said a senior brother.

"And such a treasure land, I haven't heard of it before?"

"Who's going to spread this kind of thing?"

Du Chunhua continued: "Although our Spirit Forging Hall is responsible for equipment forging, but your cultivation must not be slack, the contribution value you obtain can be used within the Tianhua Sect, and you can exchange a lot of cultivation resources, the Tibetan Gong Pavilion can exchange exercises and spiritual skills, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion can exchange many spiritual weapons, and the three major halls can exchange spiritual weapons, pills, runes and other resources, if you want to get more, you must have enough contributions, and the fastest source for our spirit forging masters to obtain contributions is the spirit forging task."

Among these people, of course, those who have a foundation are not worried, and some beginners who have no foundation cannot take on tasks, so they can only temporarily act as assistants to other senior brothers, get some rewards, and wait for their level to improve before they can start to take on tasks.

After Du Chunhua left, Du Qifeng and several senior brothers began to issue tasks, from high-level to low-level, it can be said that the task is heavy, and one person has to complete a lot of tasks in order to complete this order before the autumn harvest.

Shi Xuan also received a lot of third-order spirit armor and weapon tasks, and he took the initiative to invite Zhao Zhuo to be his assistant, promising him a lot of contribution points, and the two happily cooperated.

In addition to the Spirit Forging Hall, the Spirit Pill Hall and the Spirit Array Hall also received heavy orders, and they were also very busy, and the situation on the mainland deteriorated, causing the halls to be busy.

The disciples of the other peaks are not idle, and many of the disciples who started earlier have been sent to several surrounding countries to carry out tasks, just as the so-called raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, and the time has come for them to serve the sect.

Dai Mengli is also busy everywhere as a senior sister at the moment, Lin Zixu is in charge of the disciple training of Tianhua Peak, she is responsible for the task coordination of the Ten Peaks, and she travels to and from all parts of the sect all day long, leaving a deep impression on all the newcomer disciples.

One day, she led a group of disciples to escort a large number of forging spiritual materials to the Spirit Forging Hall, and she took time out to watch Shi Xuan forging. She also remembered this little junior brother in her heart.

In the fiery forging room, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo are devoting themselves to forging, he is now forging a pair of exquisite spirit armor, Dai Mengli is looking at it on the side, she has seen many people's forging, but no one has designed the spirit armor as exquisite as his.

After being busy for a long time, a delicate third-order spirit armor appeared in front of him, "It's finally done, haha I also have a share of the credit for this spirit armor", Zhao Zhuo happily tried on this spirit armor.

"Hey, this is a girl's spirit armor, what are you making a fuss about, take it off quickly", Shi Xuan looked at Zhao Zhuo, who was impatient.

"If there is anyone else, I'll give it a try, this is the first third-order spirit armor I participated in forging," Zhao Zhuo said happily.

But suddenly his face was unnatural, and he saw Senior Sister Dai Mengli standing behind him silently watching them.

The two of them were too attentive to find a big living person standing behind them for a long time, Zhao Zhuo quickly took off his spirit armor, and said with a red face: "Hello senior sister, I, I'm just trying it on", he said with some embarrassment.

Dai Mengli almost laughed: "Actually, you look good in it."

Shi Xuan also laughed gloating on the side, "In the future, if it spreads, you Zhao Zhuo will be a celebrity in our Spirit Forging Hall."

"It seems that it won't be long before Senior Sister will be able to find you to help me forge the spirit armor, in the past, the spirit armor I found other people to forge was not exquisite at all except for the barely performing, you have to quickly become a fourth-order spirit forging master, and then Senior Sister will rely on you", Dai Mengli carefully felt this set of spirit armor.

"In the future, as long as Senior Sister speaks, I will forge it for you for free", Shi Xuan said, Dai Mengli nodded.

"Senior sister is escorting spiritual materials over this time?" Zhao Zhuo asked.

"This time, the sect has purchased a large number of spiritual forging equipment, and your spiritual material reserves here are definitely not enough, this time the sect has purchased a lot of spiritual materials," Dai Mengli said.

"I heard that war is going to break out on the mainland again, has the situation deteriorated to this extent now?" Shi Xuan also asked curiously.

"This time the sect sent a lot of disciples out, it is estimated that a lot of things will happen, except for the disciples of your three major halls, the rest of the seven peaks have sent many disciples to various countries to carry out operations, hoping to stabilize the situation," Dai Mengli said.

"The war is chaotic, and I don't know how many people are going to suffer, why are these people so ruthless", Shi Xuan's expression was a little down.

"This world has always been like this, the rules of the jungle have never changed, the Danyang Empire has been strong over the years, their emperor is ambitious, and he has long wanted to provoke trouble, if it weren't for the checks and balances of several major sects, they would have started to act a long time ago", Dai Mengli has always been kind-hearted, she has lost her mother since she was a child, and she can't see these civilians lose their homes.

"I really wish I could get stronger and stop these ambitious people," Zhao said.

"With our current ability, we can still resist a small group of soldiers, and we can't afford to make any waves when we fall into the endless military array, the only thing we can do is to grow up quickly is the key, I heard that in the distant times, there are human race powerhouses who can face a million army alone, and one man can not be opened, what a heroic spirit this is", Shi Xuan sighed.

"You have to have confidence in yourself, this day won't be too long, the master and they all said, the aura of this world is recovering in an all-round way, and it may be able to reach this level in the future," Dai Mengli encouraged.

Shi Xuan also has some confidence in his heart, he has been in contact with a lot of things in the past few years, and his experience has increased a lot, and he has confidence in the future.

"Okay, seeing that you guys are fine, I should also go, I've been busy these days, and I still have to assist Senior Brother Lin in teaching the disciples of Tianhua Peak", Dai Mengli left here and got busy again.

"Senior Sister is so good, I didn't expect that we would come here from our hometown and meet someone as good as Senior Sister Dai", Zhao Zhuo looked at Dai Mengli who was walking away and said.

"Yes, I was in danger before, if it wasn't for Senior Sister and them to save me, you probably wouldn't be able to see me now," Shi Xuan said.

The days of forging are hard and monotonous, but for these young people with dreams, this is nothing, and the level of everyone has improved a lot since the intense forging of these days, after all, practice makes perfect.

During these days, there has also been a lot of news on the mainland, the masters of the Danyang Empire's subterranean sect and the disciples of the Tianhua Sect have clashed, and there have been many casualties these days, and the battle between the two sides on the mainland has begun.

Not long ago, Jiang Heng led a pair of men and horses of Tianhua Sect to lurk in the Danyang Empire, and successfully raided one of their huge grain transport convoys, and seized a large number of military supplies, this matter was quickly known by the Danyang Empire, Jiang Bingkun was furious, and threatened to find out the real culprit and break his body into pieces, and then sent an elite unit of the Danyang Empire to infiltrate the major escort supply convoys to retaliate against the raiders.

Jiang Heng's surprise attack was very morale-boosting, and many people launched a full-scale confrontation, these days there were many casualties on both sides, and batches of new disciples were sent to the front line to carry out tasks.

"Have you heard, the contest between the major forces has begun these days, and I heard that even the disciples of the Tianhua Sect have suffered a lot of casualties, but they have achieved a lot of results, and the loss of the Danyang Empire is not small", some disciples were discussing.

"Senior Brother Jiang can be regarded as having made a great contribution this time, the team he led successfully raided a huge transport team in the Shadow Moon Valley, causing huge losses to the Danyang Empire", some disciples know a lot about the situation.

"But I also heard that a lot of people died, and now the sect has sent three batches of disciples to the front line to support, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a fourth batch will be sent, and we will also have to make preparations."

"In a few days, the great secret realm of our sect will be opened, and then our strength will inevitably grow again, even if we are sent out to carry out tasks, we will have the confidence."

"I heard that many disciples have gained a lot from it every year, but I don't know how it will be this year."

"Let's wait and see, let's go back and cultivate well first, maybe one day they will send us there."

On the vast continent, this is the moment of green and yellow, the hope of the civilians for a year is in late autumn, but this year seems to have become different, the Danyang Empire was originally the most fertile area within thousands of miles around, the people live and work in peace and contentment, agriculture is developed, and it belongs to the real rich zone, but in recent years, Jiang Bingkun's wolf ambitions have swelled, in order to expand the military strength, he has high-pressure rule internally, and military expansion abroad, trying to reproduce the unification of the great southwest continent ten thousand years ago, he wants to become an emperor through the ages, under his high-pressure rule, civilian life is as hard as other places, and there is no prosperity at all。

This year has reached the most critical moment, he is fully prepared for war, and has raised domestic taxes three times a year, resulting in the people's misery, and the merchant family is also unable to move an inch, and the high taxes have led to many powerful families being crushed, and some far-sighted businessmen have gone directly away to avoid disasters.

This is especially true in other countries, the military pressure of the Danyang Empire has led to the beginning of the empire of the whole continent to be reckless, the people of Dawn have suffered greatly, prices have skyrocketed, and even life is not guaranteed, and many people on the border of the Danyang Empire have long been displaced and become refugees in other lands.

Even so, Jiang Bingkun didn't feel that what he did was wrong, and even he felt that his ministers did not do their best to collect the people's fat and ointment for him, delaying his offensive plan, and many ministers who dared to speak out to dissuade him were bloodily purged by him, and the rest either dared to be angry or did not dare to speak, or went along with the dirt, and the Danyang Empire went on a path that violated the ancestral teachings.

At present, in the border areas, the passes in various places are under martial law and checked, that is, the contacts between merchants and merchants have decreased a lot, and a large number of troops are often encountered in the border areas burning, killing and looting, and the conflict areas have long been reduced to Shura fields.

In order to survive, many refugees choose to become outcasts, plundering everywhere, and the chosen continent has become completely turbulent.

Many disciples of the Tianhua Sect and the Divine Sword Valley were sent to these frontier places, either to deal with the rogues who were doing evil everywhere, or to raid some important military facilities of the Danyang Empire, or to escort the military supplies of the allies, or to assassinate important figures in the Danyang Empire.

The allies of the two sects are also actively preparing for war, countless young people go to the barracks, put on military uniforms at a young age, in Danyang country, all civilian children over the age of sixteen may be forcibly conscripted as soldiers by the state, those rich and large families, can rely on money to open up relations, and those poor civilians can only watch the young children being forcibly taken away by them, and the slightest resistance will be bloodily suppressed.

The commoners cursed this emperor again and again, and at this moment in the imperial city of Danyang City, Jiang Bingkun was singing and dancing, countless beautiful dancing girls in the hall were writhing gracefully, and the court musicians were knocking on the magnificent music.

Countless civilians are like dung in their eyes, and who will care about their life and death.

In the distant border Shadow Moon Valley Fortress, which is a fortress from other parts of the mainland that has entered the Danyang Empire, Jiang Heng had successfully raided the Danyang Empire's convoy again, and gained a lot.

At this time, a young man with a face full of vicissitudes stood on the steep cliff and looked down on the Danyang Empire, he saw countless displaced civilians in the border area, a large number of soldiers in the military camp in the distance were shouting and practicing, and the Shadow Moon City Tower was towering into the sky, and many powerful heavy ballistas were erected on it, even the powerful spirit masters did not dare to break through.

Jiang Heng left the Danyang Empire since he was a child, if it wasn't for a loyal old servant who took him out of the palace at the risk of death, he might have died in Jiang Bingkun's bloody purge, Dai Tiande was once a close friend of his father Jiang Bingqian, he took in this one- or two-year-old child, secretly brought him into Tianhuazong for adoption, renamed him Jiang Heng, and accepted him as his eldest apprentice, in a blink of an eye, it was nearly twenty years.

Jiang Heng watched the former country become what it is now, his heart was extremely angry, this was no longer the Danyang in his mind, and now he wanted to do his best to destroy Jiang Bingkun's ambition and rebuild the Danyang Empire.
