Chapter 2: The World of Soldiers
Not far from the metal dump is a slum where people live in poverty.
In the corner of the slum, there is a simple courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard is a stone house, which is the residence of a man in Gu Yige.
The stone house was sunny and clean, and a wooden bed was placed by the window. There were a lot of metal piles on the floor, and all kinds of metal utensils hung on the stone walls of the room, including hoes, shovels, machetes, and axes.
At a glance, these utensils seem to be very ordinary, even a little crude. But if you look closely, you will find that these metal objects have an indescribable feeling, as if they have bones inside.
In the middle of the stone house is a casting table with an iron hammer on it.
Gu Yige took out all the metal from the cloth bag and put it on the ground, and he also put the black iron in the metal pile.
Looking at the casting table in front of him, Gu Yige's thoughts fluttered.
The continent he lives in is called the Nine Heavens Continent, and the Nine Heavens Continent is a soldier-based continent.
There are two kinds of soldiers, one is the soldier and the other is the weapon.
Knives, swords, and armor belong to the soldiers, and they are ever-changing in battle, and they are extremely powerful, which can increase the combat power of the warrior exponentially.
Weapons have both the characteristics of containers and soldiers, and have some special functions. For example, some large metal ships, chariots, brass and iron mounts, storage utensils, etc. are all weapons weapons.
The human body has meridians, and soldiers have military veins, and true qi can run in the meridians and in the soldiers.
Whether it is a soldier or a weapon soldier, if you want to refine it into a soldier, you must engrave a military vein inside it, and the military vein can only be engraved by a refiner.
The refiner is the noblest profession in this continent, and in this soldier-based continent, the refiner is the soul of the entire continent.
If a refiner wants to refine a soldier, he must use the powerful True Qi to explore the internal structure of the metal, and use the True Qi to engrave the veins inside the metal, which is the alchemy.
Any sect or family, as long as it has a refiner, then it can be among the ranks of powerful forces, which shows the importance of the refiner.
Retracting his thoughts, Gu Yige removed an arm guard from the wall and walked to the casting table.
The armguard was made of metal from the dump, and the final stage was still missing.
The metal in the Zongmen garbage dump is all discarded metal refined by the elders of the sect, and the internal structure has been destroyed, and it is no longer possible to engrave the military vein. But the hardness of these metals is still well preserved, and ordinary disciples of the sect will use these metals to practice, hoping to master the alchemy technique as soon as possible.
Gu Yige put the arm guard on the casting table, picked up the hammer, and the whole person's temperament changed in vain.
His eyes were no longer calm, but were replaced by fiery, persistent, serious, and even a hint of obsession.
Bang!
The hammer in his hand fell on the armguard.
Gu Yige couldn't be cultivated, so this hammer had no true qi, only simple muscle strength.
This hammer was not the same as ordinary casting, it was not forging, but shaking! As the hammer shook down on the armguard, there was a long metallic trill sound on the armguard.
This voice falls on someone else's ear, just a simple voice. But in Gu Yige's ears, he heard the structure and distribution of the metal's interior.
This long metal trill, as if stringing together the internal structure of the metal, is presented in front of the eyes of the ancient style.
Where the inside of the metal is hard, there is fragile. Where the structure is intact, where it has been broken.
These voices gradually formed a picture in Gu Yige's mind, which was a vein inside a metal. This vein is like a leaf vein, with primary and secondary, thick and thin. But these veins are incomplete, some places have been broken, others are broken, and there are thousands of holes.

This is a unique casting method of the ancient one, and it is a casting technique that is different from alchemy. Alchemy requires the use of true qi, while this casting technique only uses pure muscle strength.
Gu Yige took a deep breath, and his eyes became more serious.
When there was a bang, another hammer fell.
As the hammer fell, he felt the inner structure of the metal through the muscles of his arm, and the hammer changed from shaking to forging. The veins inside the metal arm guard were smashed by this hammer and condensed a lot.
Each time the hammer falls on the surface of the metal armguard, the force of the hammer is transmitted precisely to the inside, connecting the broken structure and widening the slender structure.
The internal structure of the metal arm guard seemed to be cut through the middle in front of Gu Yige, unfolding like a picture scroll, and he was allowed to splash ink.
Gradually, a complete vein of metal appeared inside the armguard.
Gu Yige's powerful arm kept swinging his hammer. He can't practice, he doesn't have true qi, he can't use true qi to probe the internal structure of metal, and he can't use true qi to engrave the veins.
But he has lived in metal piles since he was a child, and his five senses are extremely familiar with metal.
He used his sense of hearing to observe, his sense of touch to forge it, and in a way that even a refiner could not do, he repaired the broken metal structure from the outside in, forging a new vein inside the metal.
It's just that this metal vein is a little different from the vein that other refiners use true qi to directly engrave inside.
This vein is like the muscles of an arm, simple, direct, and full of power.
This method of casting protective gear with muscles was taught to him by Sister Su Zhu of Gu Yige's neighbor's house.
It's a pity that Gu Yige at that time was bent on cultivating and learning alchemy, and he couldn't look down on this useless casting technique.
Until that night three years ago, the ancient Yige dantian meridian was abolished, and he could no longer practice, let alone refine the martial arts. Then it took him three years to completely master this casting technique, and he gradually understood Su Zhu's good intentions.
It's a pity that it's too late!
Gu Yige let out a long sigh and stared at the armguards, a little dazed.
"Little grid, little grid!"
A silver bell-like voice interrupted the casting of the ancient one, and a beautiful girl broke into the room of the ancient one in a hurry.
Gu Yige looked at the girl and frowned, "Jiang Shanshan, can you not casually break into other people's homes." Also, I'm a man, aren't you afraid of seeing something you shouldn't be looking at when you just break in like this!"
The girl crossed her waist and said domineeringly: "You metal nerd, do you have anything else in your eyes besides metal! If you can really do something manly, I am not afraid of staining my eyes, and I have to take a good look!"
Gu Yige reluctantly put down the hammer, put the arm guard on the casting table, and turned to sit down.
Jiang Shanshan grinned, her eyes fell on the arm guard on the casting table, and she picked it up casually.
"Little lattice, what you cast is getting better and better, this arm guard is just right for me!"
Gu Yige said angrily: "Jiang Shanshan, can you not exploit me, how many things have you taken from me in this month." β
"That can't be helped, it's what you owe me. β
Jiang Shanshan's nose wrinkled slightly: "A month ago, you pounced on me with blood all over your body. I was in the shower at the time, and you not only took advantage of Miss Ben, but almost scared Miss Ben to death. β
Gu Yige said seriously: "I had fainted at the time, I didn't see anything, I took advantage of something." Besides, when I woke up, you were clothed, and who knows if you framed me!"
Jiang Shanshan glared at her and sneered: "My dignified daughter of the Sect Master of the Refining Sect can still frame you!
"Then I won't admit it, maybe you took off your clothes and framed me while I was unconscious!"
"Gu Yige, can you be a little more shameless!" Jiang Shanshan gritted her teeth and said.
"I'm just telling the truth. Gu Yige said calmly.
Jiang Shanshan was so angry that she almost went crazy: "Bastard, then I saved your life, you should admit it! At that time, you were covered in blood all over your body, if it weren't for me, you would have died." β
Gu Yige calmed down and stopped talking.
Jiang Shanshan thought that he had finally relented and smiled triumphantly.
Gu Yige thought about it, looked at Jiang Shanshan and said seriously: "I thought about it carefully, my vitality is very tenacious, and the injury should have recovered by itself, and it has nothing to do with you." β
"You bastard!"
Jiang Shanshan was as angry as a domineering lioness, staring at Gu Yige tightly.
With a snort, Jiang Shanshan suddenly laughed: "Pretend, pretend to me! If you want to repay the debt, no way, you obviously had your eyes open when you pounced." Not only do you owe me a life, you owe me a man. Obediently let Miss Ben stay in the Refining Sect, and she was not allowed to go anywhere. β
Gu Yige sighed helplessly: "Jiang Shanshan, you know my situation, my dantian and meridians are full of holes, and I can't cultivate at all, and naturally I can't join the Refining Sect." β
Jiang Shanshan didn't speak, put the arm guard cast by Gu Yige on his arm, and punched the stone wall in the air.
Jiang Shanshan's punch was thrown, and the muscles on her arms pushed forward piece by piece, like water waves, pushing wave after wave.
And the muscles in her arm were just passing through the inside of the arm guard as they were pushing. The metal veins in the armguards, propelled by the muscles, run forward like scales.
Suddenly, the metal veins in the arm guard erupted into a wave of qi.
Boom!
Waves of qi rushed out of the armguards and slammed into the stone wall in the distance, creating a fist-sized crater.
Jiang Shanshan shook the arm guard in her hand and said, "Little grid, these weapons you cast are very unusual, very similar to soldiers!"
Gu Yige said calmly: "What's unusual, the soldiers can be controlled with their true qi, turning into various different forms, and multiplying the combat power of the warriors. What I build can only be controlled by muscles, straight and straight, and cannot be changed. Some of the increased forces are even more vulnerable in the face of real soldiers. β
Jiang Shanshan said thoughtfully: "Xiao Gezi, although I don't know what is unusual about your casting method, I feel that if you follow this method, you will definitely find an unusual path." I will definitely convince my father to let you join the Refining Sect. β
"I heard you've been digging through the metal garbage mountain again these days, do you know how dangerous it is. If you want metal, you can tell me that you are all mine, and what kind of man's self-esteem. Jiang Shanshan glanced at Gu Yige and said.
Gu Yige said calmly: "I went over the metal garbage mountain, just because I walked from there, and it was closer to come back, so I picked up some garbage by the way." β
Jiang Shanshan glared at Gu Yige and said, "If you let those sect disciples hear these words, I don't know if they want to slap their own face or yours." You don't always use that calm expression and say such annoying things, okay!"
While the two were talking, there was a loud noise outside the room.
Gu Yige and Jiang Shanshan were startled and hurriedly rushed out of the stone house.
However, they didn't notice that when they left the stone house, a black light flashed from the black iron inside the metal pile.
