Yuan Nu is here, why not be afraid of the sky_Chapter 23 Endless refinement
Suddenly, I felt a serious uneasiness in my heart......
I don't know what Shui Ruonan's strength is, but when we entered the town, these landlords were supposed to charge her a fee to enter the city. But when the black gas floated out of her body again, these people's faces changed drastically, and they didn't dare to mention the matter of collecting entrance fees at all. And Shui Ruonan took me into the town with a big grin, and I asked her if she wanted to find a place to live first, but she shook her head and said no.
The streets of the whole town were in tatters, and there was even a lot of mud. The eyes of everyone walking on the street were full of vigilance, as if anyone around them was a wild wolf that could eat people. And Shui Ruonan took me all the way straight away, and she said softly: "This town is called Black Iron Town, this is what we call it. Because black iron is abundant here, it is not the kind of black iron you have seen before, but black iron with a trace of fairy power. After tempering, it can be turned into a precious metal material, which is definitely good for crafting. As a result, there are many strong people who can do it and want to occupy this town. The person currently in charge of Black Iron Town is said to be a celestial immortal with several earth immortals under his command. Although I am no match for him, they will not be stupid enough to offend me. ”
I hummed and looked around curiously. Mizuwono led me all the way down to a tall building. The building resembles a palace, but it is much dilapidated. When I came in, I saw a group of people talking about things, and when they saw us come in, they immediately stopped talking and spoke in a language I hadn't heard, but I could understand the meaning: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”
"Let's do business...... Shui Ruonan stretched and laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, your place is dedicated to quenching black iron, right?" This young man next to me is an immortal master, and I want to sell him to you for a year, and in this year, as long as you don't kill or maim him, you can deal with him. ”
I looked at Shui Ruonan in disbelief, "How do you know that I am an immortal artifact master?" ”
"I not only know that you are an immortal artifact master, but also know many things ......about you," Shui Ruonan said indifferently, "When I first got on the spaceship, I explored the memories of many weak people, and you were only an immortal artifact master. Otherwise, why do you think I picked you alone as my slave? Of course, don't worry, I don't dare to be interested in your other memories at all. ”
My face sank, this Shui Ruonan is really not as innocent as it seems. At this time, when they heard that I was an immortal artifact master, people all showed a rather satisfied look on their faces, and a bearded man stood up and said with a smile: "The speed at which the immortal artifact master quenches black iron is indeed much faster than the workers here, and we will treat it well." In this way, 10,000 Qiankun stones a year, you can see it, right? ”
"Fifteen thousand ......," Shui Ruonan said indifferently, "An immortal artifact master, who spends a whole year to create, will definitely get a stronger wealth than this." I came here with sincerity, and I hope you will make a deal with me with sincerity, no problem, right? ”
The bearded man laughed and nodded, "Okay, it's a pleasure to trade with you." ”
My heart is full of gloom, sure enough, Shui Ruonan, this girl will definitely not be kind, no, she has earned 15,000 Qiankun stones on me. She pushed me, and then said slowly, "I advise you not to resist, there are many people here who can kill you in seconds." Young man, I'm for your own good, so that you can exercise your refining ability first. ”
After that, Shui Ruonan took the money from the bearded man and left directly. I was in a daze, and the bearded man immediately summoned a leather whip, and with lightning speed, he slammed it towards me: "Get out of here and refine the weapon!" ”
"Smack!"
The leather whip hit me, and the burning pain made me grin. And the bearded man grabbed me by the collar and led me to the back of this palace. When I came to the back, I saw that there were hundreds of smelting furnaces here, and a large group of workers were working the refining here. Many of them were covered with wounds, and they had even suppurated, but the bearded man didn't care about these people, and still forced them to hurry up.
I was pushed in front of a smelting furnace, and the bearded man sneered, "It's really good to have an immortal artifact, everyone else has to watch the smelting furnace with five people, but you can do it by yourself." Don't tell me, young man, that you don't know how to refine, or I'll give you a taste of what pain is. There are two other things that you can remember. ”
He suddenly took out two bottles of pills and said coldly: "The first one is the refreshment pill, you can only eat one when you are so sleepy that you can't do it, it will immediately make you feel a hundred times more energetic." The second one is the Hibernation Pill, which will keep you from going hungry, and of course, I'll send you some food once in a while. Now that you know, get the to work! ”
After that, Dahan directly ignited the smelting furnace and asked me to quickly start refining black iron. I looked at the two bottles of elixir and said in a deep voice, "Both of these things will damage my body and soul......"
"*, where is all this nonsense!"
The bearded man whipped at me again, so fast I couldn't dodge. I estimate that this big man is likely to have reached the level of an earth immortal, and no matter how bad he is, he is still the kind of top human immortal.
I endured the excruciating pain and began to throw black iron into the furnace. The bearded man kept urging me to hurry, and if I slowed down a little, he immediately whipped me down, so that I did not dare to disobey.
It was so torture that I even forgot what life was like, just throwing black iron into it. Compared to my refining speed, the speed of those workers next to me is much slower, which is the advantage of the immortal master, but the problem is ...... But the immortal master deigned to be a slave here.
People here don't bring any food at all, and every now and then a worker falls to the ground from exhaustion. Whenever someone fainted, a guard would come and wake him up with a basin of cold water, and then grab the man's head and put his face against the red-hot smelting furnace, so that the worker was in pain, not to mention unconscious, and his spirit was tense to the extreme. The whole huge room was filled with smoke and the smell of roasted meat.
True life is worse than death.
In just a few days here, I felt the weakness of Gentle Township, because compared to here, Gentle Township is simply too weak. In Gentle Township, if you die, you will die, but here, once someone can't bear the level of work and dies suddenly, the guardian will mercilessly raise the soul, if it is a weaker soul, it will be directly sold to someone else to refine the weapon. If it is a relatively powerful soul, it is still necessary to refine black iron in this huge room until the yin qi can no longer bear it, and the soul is completely scattered.
Even death cannot escape from this painful place.
The Lawless Lands.
I now realize what a terrifying space I've come in.
Time has become a void for me, and I am constantly refining black iron, and these people are far less fast than me, which makes the guardians very satisfied. From time to time, someone would give me barbecue to eat, saying that it would help me to recover my strength, but I would look at the barbecue coldly, shake my head and say that I would not eat it.
Because I know what it is, it's the corpses of dead workers.
This group of guys, they use slaves so much that they have to work when they are alive, and when they die, their souls have to be dealt with. Even the corpse had to be disposed of, and the strong corpse would be refined into a puppet to work here forever and endlessly. The weaker workers will become food for the other workers.
Complete cost savings.
The speed of my refining is getting faster and faster, and under the pressure of this death, my refining technique has almost improved by leaps and bounds. Originally, it would take me about an hour to refine a hundred catties of black iron, but after staying here for an unknown amount of time, it only took half an hour to complete. Even...... I have reached the pinnacle of refining black iron, and it is impossible to improve any more.
I was numb to refining black iron here, completely oblivious to the passage of time. Finally, one day, the bearded man came up to me again, he looked at the black iron, and said with satisfaction: "Young man, the time of the year is up, and your master has come to pick you up." ”
"Bang ......"
The black iron in my hand fell to the ground, and a sense of relief filled my body. I turned around and staggered outside, only to find that I was very light.
I raised my hand to look, but I saw a skinny hand, the equivalent of a chicken claw......
