Chapter 43: Nether May Cry

"Hey, that's an evil name!" Zhang Chao gasped.

This sheepskin looked very old, but when he held it in his hand, it had a cold feeling to the bone, and he vaguely felt some familiar taste.

"I don't know, this thing has been in the Qiao family for hundreds of years, and it has been passed down from our ancestors, and I don't know where our ancestors got it!" Qiao Dong spread his hands and said.

"Uh, that is to say, the magic weapon recorded above, you have not successfully refined it?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, this is something that has no precedent, if you want to refine it yourself, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, after all, there is no reference.

"Hehe, to be honest, it's not!" The Qiao family shook their heads a little embarrassedly.

"I'll go, no one has ever refined it, how can you believe that what is recorded on this thing must be able to refine something?" Zhang Chao's eyes widened, these guys are too uncommon sense, right?

"Don't worry, our ancestors have passed it down, and this one will definitely be able to be refined!" Qiao Dong assured with a chiseled promise: "It is said that this magic weapon is the ancestor of our Qiao family, and after seeing a heaven-level high-grade magic weapon, he copied it!"

"Huh?" Zhang Chao scratched his head: "In other words, what is written on this is a fake of a magic weapon?"

"To be exact...... That's it!" Qiao Heng shrugged his shoulders helplessly on the side.

"Heaven-level high-grade magic weapon, isn't that something that only exists in legends?

"Well, the ancestor will definitely not be wrong, and it is said that the ancestor of our Qiao family is still a forger, and he is also a Siding forger!" Qiao Dong nodded.

"Siding Forger, what the hell?" Zhang Chao was confused.

"Hehe, it seems that the little master really doesn't know!" Several old fellows glanced at each other and laughed.

"What do you know?" Zhang Chao hurriedly asked.

"The forging division is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, under the world, there is a place dedicated to evaluating the ability of the forging master, called the Guoyin Society, which roughly divides the forging division into nine levels, the ninth level is the highest, and the first level is the lowest, using the pattern of the tripod to represent the distinction of the grades, and the first tripod level is called the first ding forging master......" An old man of the Qiao family patiently explained beside him.

"I see, the forging master still has this kind of saying!" Zhang Chao suddenly realized, and immediately became interested: "I will also evaluate it when I have time, and see how many tripods I can mix!"

"In Cannes, there are a total of more than a dozen forgers, and the most powerful of them is only Sanding, which is the founder of the Iron Combination, they have absorbed all the forgers and excellent blacksmiths in Cannes, in order to monopolize resources, so that all families can ask for them!" Qiao Heng sighed and continued: "So now, the most powerful people in the entire Cannes are not our families, they have vaguely respected the Iron Alliance!"

"The Iron Combination, those bastards again!" Zhang Chao grinded his teeth, as soon as he mentioned the Iron Alliance, he remembered how the blacksmith Lao Li was forced to die, and couldn't help but be angry, if he had enough strength, he must meet them well!

"Okay, it's a bit far-fetched, little master, do you see if this magic weapon can be refined?" Qiao Dong raised his hand and pressed it down, silencing everyone, and then asked with concern.

"I'll take a closer look, I can't answer now!" Zhang Chao is very cautious, if he boasts about Haikou and then can't refine it, won't he lose face?

"Okay!" Qiao Dong nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, by the way, your ancestors are such a good forging master, why hasn't it been passed down?" Zhang Chao suddenly remembered this question again.

"Uh...... A lot of things happened in the middle, and it is not convenient to answer in detail, I hope you will forgive me!" Qiao Dong shook his head with a bitter face.

"Okay, okay, then I won't ask, let's see what kind of magic weapon this is!" Zhang Chao licked his lips, then sat down in his chair, reading the contents of the sheepskin intently.

The things described above are quite difficult to understand to be honest.

After all, it is an ancient script, and it is already very difficult to recognize it, and in terms of intonation, it is also the statement method of the ancients, and many of them need to be combined with imagination to comprehend it.

However, Zhang Chao has the foundation of "The Law of Refining the Instrument of All Things", and that book is older than this sheepskin, so although it is slow, there is still no big problem in reading this sheepskin codex.

"Oh?" he had heard from his master that many people deliberately used some textual games to hide the real content between the lines when writing the Codex of the Refining Instruments.

At first glance, although this codex describes a method of refining a magic weapon, the process is complicated, the words are long-winded, and the cost is very high, and the things that can really be refined are basically useless.

If a normal person reads it once, it is likely to be misunderstood, isn't it mental illness to spend so much effort refining a useless waste product?

As Qiao Dong said just now, either there are forgers who can't practice, and all those who can refine are lions with big mouths.

After all, if nothing else, the effort alone is worth the money!

But Zhang Chao is different from those people, after he watched it once, he didn't feel right, so he watched it several times again.

Seeing this, everyone in the Qiao family saw Zhang Chao's brows tightened, and thought that he was also embarrassed, and they all showed disappointed looks.

"Xiao Heng, didn't you say that you saw him in the Black Cliff Village with your own eyes, just a few casual strokes, and then you made a suspected human-level wooden man magic weapon defect? Is it true or false, are you not mistaken?" Qiao Dong asked in a low voice in Qiao Heng's ear.

"Family Master, I guarantee my life, I am absolutely not mistaken, a person of this level must at least be a Liangding forging master to do it!" Qiao Heng said with great certainty.

"Shhh...... That...... Let's wait and see!" Qiao Dong pouted, and it was not good to disturb Zhang Chao now, so he could only wait patiently while a group of people drinking tea here.

Half an hour passed.

Zhang Chao looked at this parchment scroll more than a hundred times.

Finally, he vaguely felt something, and the eyebrows that had been locked were also opened, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, which was mixed with shock!

"How's that?" Seeing this, Qiao Dong hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Well, there's a way!" Zhang Chao licked his lips and said with a lot of emotion: "Your ancestor is definitely a bull! On the surface, a garbage magic weapon is written in the dark, making people feel that this thing is refined by people?"

"In fact, between the lines, there is a hidden refining method of the true magic weapon!"

"The real magic weapon, and such a thing?" Everyone in the Qiao family looked at each other, they couldn't understand it at all, and they didn't know what Zhang Chao meant.

"You don't even know?" Zhang Chao was stunned, looking at the Qiao family and shaking their heads blankly, feeling a little crying and laughing: "Isn't it? You wouldn't want me to refine that piece of garbage from the beginning, would you?"

"Hah, garbage, can't, if the ancestors pass it down, refining that magic weapon can at least double the strength of our Qiao family!" Qiao Dong said suspiciously.

"Well, that should be the hidden real magic weapon, once it is refined, it will be doubled, it's terrifying!" Zhang Chao licked his lips, his eyes lit up: "This magic weapon is indeed a counterfeit, the original so-called heaven-level high-grade magic weapon, called the Nether Devil May Cry Axe, it is said that the holder is an ancient power, known as the Axe King, but this is just a legend, your ancestors have never seen this power!"

"But he accidentally saw this axe, saying that it was at the end of the Santu River, although he didn't know where it was, but after he saw this axe, he immediately tried to refine it when he came back, but unfortunately he couldn't do it until he died, so he left this Styx Codex, hoping that the descendants of your Qiao family will be able to refine it one day!"

"I see, it's a pity that we disappointed his old man!" Everyone in the Qiao family sighed again and again: "But even our four-tripod level ancestor can't refine it, and this difficulty is inevitably ......."

"Ha, if he can't refine it, it doesn't mean that I can't either!" Zhang Chao rubbed his hands and said: "Now I, it's true that I can't completely restore what he recorded, but I can streamline it, with my current ability, refining a ground-level axe, I should still have a certain degree of certainty!"
