Chapter 47: Master of the Forge

Although the Nie family is brilliant, it is already a lot of decay compared to four hundred years ago.

Four hundred years ago, Nie Wuchang, the head of the Nie family, reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Soul Condensation with his cultivation, and once saved the Qishan Empire by himself, so he was named the king of the town by the emperor of the Qishan Empire. And at that time, Yan Juncheng was definitely the world of the Nie family.

It's a pity that in a Haoyang disaster, Nie Wuchang was hunted by the Haoyang hunters of the Transformation God Realm. Although the Nie family, which had lost its backbone, was not disbanded, although there were strong people in the Soul Condensation Realm in the next hundred years, they were much weaker in terms of strength, and they were no longer a monopoly in Yanjun City.

Nie Rong'er's grandfather, Nie Qi, was originally the eldest son of the Nie family, but he was obsessed with forging spiritual weapons and abandoned his own cultivation, and his cultivation was only in the bone refining realm. And his younger brother Nie Qiong reached the Soul Condensation Realm to the next level, so Nie Qi took the initiative to let Xian and made Nie Qi the head of the Nie family.

However, the hereditary title is passed on to the elder and not to the young, so Nie Qi's descendants are all princes and county lords, while Nie Qiong, who is the head of the family, has no title.

In fact, for secular titles, immortal cultivators in the realm of Nie Qi and Nie Qiong don't care at all, but their descendants and juniors care very much, and they have been intriguing and fighting for many years.

Nie Qi has no desires and has only one son, that is, Nie Rong'er's father. Nie Rong'er's parents died early, so when the Nie family reached Nie Rong'er's generation, there was only one little prince and a small county lord.

Nie Qiong, on the other hand, has many wives and countless children and grandchildren. What Yuanwei and the others met at the door was Nie Qiong's granddaughter, whose name was Nie Youlan.

"Slut!" Nie Rong'er had a cold face, cursed in a low voice, and then led Yuanwei Mu Wei to step into the door of Nie's house.

Nie Rong'er Nie Tianlei followed her grandfather to live in a small courtyard in a corner of Nie's house, with a quaint library building, a delicate embroidery building, several side rooms, and a small garden with rockeries and fake water in the middle.

"Grandpa, we're back!" Nie Rong'er roared, not looking like a girl at all.

"Bang bang bang!" suddenly there was an explosion in the library.

"Grandpa has failed to forge a spiritual weapon again! Come and see the excitement!" Nie Rong'er looked excited, pulled the tail and ran.

Yuan Wei was speechless, and couldn't help but begin to doubt the rights and wrongs of the Nie family's trip, and as soon as he entered the door, he encountered the failure scene of the so-called forging master, what kind of embarrassment was this.

Nie Rong'er kicked open the door, and an old man with snow-white hair was in a daze in front of a pile of rags.

"Grandpa!Grandpa!This is the hundredth time you've failed?!" Nie Rong'er asked.

"Bastard, if you hadn't disturbed my mind with your shouting, how could this experiment have failed! If you have succeeded at a glance, it will be destroyed in your broken gong throat!" the old man blew his beard and glared.

Nie Rong'er's sister and brother were not afraid of him at all, and the two of them went around to grab their beards and pull their hair.

"Okay, okay, are you going out this time? Who are these two sons?" Nie Qi actually loved these two grandchildren very much, and asked after arguing with the two.

"This is our sworn brother, the eldest brother Yuanwei and the second brother Mu Wei, they saved us. Nie Rong'er and Nie Tianlei competed to describe their experiences to the old man, praising Yuanwei directly to the sky, and not mentioning Mu Wei at all.

"Two people who have no conscience, I am also the one who saves you, okay! I don't see the two of you saying a good word about me. Mu Wei couldn't listen anymore.

"Haha, thank you two sons, if it weren't for the two of you, my two children might not have been able to return to me. The old man stood up and thanked him politely.

"Grandpa, you are too polite, since I have married Brother Mu Wei as brother and sister, of course you are also their grandfather. Don't see your own family!" Nie Rong'er jumped over and interjected, not taking Yuanwei Mu Wei as an outsider.

Yuan Wei was speechless, so he had to call "grandpa" with a smile on his face. And Mu Wei seemed to be a lot reluctant, but in the end he still called grandpa.

Yuan Wei is humble and respectful, the wood fennel is eccentric, Nie Qi likes it very much, and invites the two to stay with Nie Rong'er sister and brother. In fact, in the entire Nie family, these two sisters and brothers do not have few close friends.

Yuan Wei briefly introduced the purpose of his coming to Yanjun City, and Nie Qi pinched his beard and laughed: "It must be two little guys who bragged in front of you, saying that I am a forging master." Although I can't afford the name of master, ordinary spirit weapon forging can't help me. But don't be in a hurry about forging spiritual weapons, when I'm done with the work at hand, I'll give the two of you a good forging spiritual weapon. ”

Motoo Mu Wei knew that the forging of this spiritual weapon was not a simple matter that could be completed in a moment and a half, so naturally he would not rush it. The two said goodbye to Nie Qi and stayed in the company of Nie Rong'er's sister and brother.

Nie Qi lives in the library building, Nie Rong'er lives in the embroidery building, and Nie Tianlei can only live in the wing room. Fortunately, Nie Rong'er still has a hint of her daughter's reserve, and she didn't invite Yuanwei to live in her embroidery building. Nie Tianlei happily arranged for Yuan Wei Mu Wei to live next door to his room, and the four of them got along very happily day and night.

Although Nie Qi is not the head of the Nie family, he still has an extraordinary status, so Yuanwei followed Nie Rong'er to enjoy the rich and somewhat luxurious life of the Nie family. On weekdays, the four of them discussed their cultivation experiences together, competed with each other and urged each other, and they all achieved a lot in a short period of time.

Nie Qi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Finally, one day a month later, he invited Motoo Mufen to his library.

"What kind of spiritual weapon do you want to forge?" Nie Qi asked.

Mu Wei took out his wooden staff and handed it to him, saying, "This is my wooden staff, there is no problem when casting spells, but the hardness and toughness are a little worse." So I wanted to put some core iron in it. ”

"This is your magic staff, if I'm not mistaken, this is a cultivated tree spirit branch! And also, what did you just say about the wind core iron? You have the wind core iron?!" Nie Qi looked surprised.

"Uh... I wonder if I can realize this idea?" asked Mu Wei.

Nie Qi smiled awkwardly, as if realizing his gaffe, "Generally speaking, no one would do that. You must know that the staff is not like a hammer axe and sword, its function is to condense spiritual power rather than chopping and provoking, so it does not need extraordinary hardness and tenacity. Moreover, the art of forging that has been passed down in the world is to melt the metal and refine it with other metals. This method will not be able to combine the core iron with the wooden staff..."

Mu Wei was a little disappointed, he pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand this, but I have heard of such a forging method, which is to completely transform metal into nothingness, and then it can be mixed with other spiritual materials at will, while still retaining the properties of metal. It's just that I don't know if this method of forging is still in the world. ”

Nie Qi was greatly surprised: "Mu Gongzi is so young that he actually knows such a forging method?! Although this method was very popular ten thousand years ago, but the immortal cultivators in the world are eager for quick success, and this complex and slow forging method is close to being lost. There are no more than ten people in the world today who know this forging method! I can't imagine that Mu Gongzi has such insight at such a young age. ”

Mu Wei smiled slyly: "I have only heard of it occasionally, so presumably Master Nie is proficient in this forging method!"

Nie Qi looked up proudly: "There are no more than five people in the world today who will know this kind of forging method, and the old man is one of them!"

Nie Qi did not boast of himself, this method of turning spiritual materials into invisible, fusing various spiritual materials with different attributes into one and forging different spiritual weapons at will was peerless and strange, and it took him a hundred years to achieve something in this regard, of course, this was also the main reason for the stagnation of his cultivation.

"That's great, then please ask Master Nie to help me integrate the wind core iron into the wooden staff. Mu Wei was very excited, and her words were more respectful.

Yuan Wei hurriedly took out the wind core iron wrapped in layers in the Qiankun bag.

Nie Qi wanted to put forward some conditions, but when he saw the wind core iron that Yuan Wei took out, his lips trembled for a long time, and then he lost his voice and shouted, "The best wind core iron! I want half of it, and the other half is enough to integrate it into the wooden staff." ”

"Do you want half of it?!Old man, your lion has a big mouth, and the other half has to be integrated into my brother's snake staff!"

Nie Qi glanced at Yuanwei's snake staff, shook his head and said, "The hardness of this snake staff has already surpassed that of Wind Core Iron, why bother doing this?! I won't let you suffer, this is my experience in refining weapons for many years, seeing that the two of you are destined, it should be regarded as the price of your Wind Core Iron." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of jade and threw them to Yuanwei.

Mu Wei still wanted to bargain, but Nie Qi grabbed the stool-shaped wind core iron in his hand and said that he wouldn't let go.

Mu Wei's staff took half a month to forge and complete, which gave Yuan Wei time to study Nie Qi's experience in forging spiritual weapons. In the spirit of not disappointing Nie Qi's good intentions, Yuan Wei carefully studied those jade slips, who knew that he would be unable to extricate himself from it.

The most important of those jade slips is a technique called "Chaos Forging Technique", which analyzes the characteristics of spiritual materials and spiritual weapons in the world, and tells how to turn various spiritual materials into intangible, and then reshape them into new shapes according to their functions. Nie Qi has studied this kind of exercise quite deeply, and recorded all kinds of hearts in the jade slips, among which there is a kind of saying that the spirit weapon has a soul makes Yuanwei refreshing.

Nie Qi said that ordinary spiritual weapons can only passively accommodate and output spiritual power, while some spiritual weapons can actively devour, organize and even output spiritual power, which is like an immortal cultivator. An immortal cultivator with such a spiritual weapon is like two immortal cultivators fighting side by side, and their strength is of course extremely strong.

The spiritual weapon that has the soul of the instrument is commonly known as the divine weapon!

The reason why Yuan Wei became interested in Nie Qi's exercises was because he faintly noticed that there seemed to be a trace of soul in his snake staff!
