Zhang Chao's left eye clearly saw the texture and direction of the bones and muscles in the man's entire right arm.

The most important thing is the meridians!

But most of this man's meridians are broken!

The reason why animals are able to practice is because their bodies contain countless meridians connected by countless meridians, which are used to burst out of power, store vitality, and have infinite use.

But if there is a problem with the meridians, it is equivalent to being abandoned by this path, and you can only be an ordinary person for almost your whole life, experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, and finally turning into a handful of loess.

"His meridians are almost broken...... Zhang Chao was secretly shocked, obviously, these meridians were not originally like this, they were simply interrupted, although the injuries on the man's body have now healed, but the meridians cannot be recovered!

After a stick of incense, the man who called himself Lao Li took a deep breath, wiped the sweat on his head, and put down the hammer.

The sword tire has been built, although Lao Li's kung fu is very good, and it is just right in all aspects such as hammering and beating, but there is always something missing.

"Come, young man, let's see how this sword tire is!" Lao Li soaked the sword tire in cold water for a while, and after it was completely cooled down, he threw it to Zhang Chao casually.

Zhang Chao glanced at the sword tire a few times, then nodded and said: "The workmanship is very good, and the beating is very hot, but there is something missing......"

"Oh, what's missing?" Lao Li's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"In the world, not only people, everything has meridians, and although this sword fetus has a perfect appearance, there is no yuan force to integrate into it, and it converges into the texture of the sword body, that is, the meridians that the sword fetus should have, so it seems incomplete, and it lacks the god that the sword fetus should have!" Zhang Chao said bluntly and directly said the problem he saw.

Since he is here to apply for an apprenticeship, he can't seem to know anything, he will suffer a lot, but after learning from his master for so many years, he still has some real talents.

"Insightful, young man, you can!" Lao Li said appreciatively: "It's a pity, my Lao Li has beaten iron all his life and refined countless tools, but he can no longer let them have meridians!"

Zhang Chao didn't say anything, although he saw the problem of the meridians on Lao Li's arm with his extraordinary left eye, but he was not stupid enough to deliberately reveal the scar.

"I learned a little bit about iron refining from my old man before!" Zhang Chao scratched his head and said.

"Oh, is your old man also a blacksmith?" Lao Li was slightly stunned.

"Oh, by the way, Boss Li, such a big blacksmith shop, is it just you? That's why you want to recruit apprentices?" Zhang Chao didn't want to say too much about the master's question, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Alas, once upon a time, I also had a bunch of apprentices, but ...... Forget it, it's all over, young man, do you want to stay?" Lao Li didn't seem to want to say anything, but still asked.

"Okay, I don't have anywhere to ...... anyway" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders, and just after saying this, suddenly the door of the blacksmith shop was kicked open.

Immediately after, three proud-looking men in long robes walked in.

The leader has a bun on his head, a knife face, some freckle embellishments, a collapsed nose, and two large teeth standing up in his mouth.

A pair of small eyes fell directly on Lao Li's body, and the corners of his mouth were picked up a few times without smiling.

And the two people behind him obviously looked like thugs, wrinkling their eyebrows and glaring, their faces constantly trembling.

"Oh, Boss Li hasn't rested yet?" Dao Tiao stepped forward with a sneer, looked at the sword tire that Lao Li had just beaten, and kept pouting: "Tsk, the technique is still as perfect as ever, but it's a pity that the meridians are broken, and without the Yuan Force, the things created have become dead things!"

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome!" Lao Li's face became gloomy.

"Don't, isn't it good to say so ruthlessly?" Dao Tiao Face licked his lips, leaned closer to Boss Li's face, and said in a weird manner: "Our boss is a little impatient, let me ask Boss Li, what are you thinking?"

"Hmph, don't waste your efforts, even if I die, I won't be able to join the Iron Cooperative, let him die of this heart!" Lao Li snorted coldly: "I just want to open a blacksmith shop in peace and make something for my neighbors, I have become a waste, and it is unlikely that it will have any impact on the ironcraft!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the freshly made sword tire and threw it into the hot molten iron with shaking his hands.

"Zila!" the sword tire was quickly melted by molten iron.

"Hey, dead old ghost, you really don't want to give face, it seems that it's not enough to abolish your cultivation, shouldn't you chop off both of your hands?"

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Lao Li staggered a few steps, his face was red and swollen, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhang Chao, who was on the side, couldn't look at it.

Let's not talk about any contradictions between them, but if you directly hurt people like this, the knife face is a bit excessive.

Besides, Lao Li's age is there, and he is no longer a cultivator, so just slapping his face directly like this is really insulting enough.

"Oh, stinky boy, who are you? Do you have a part in talking?" Dao Tiao looked at Zhang Chao with a face, and spat with disdain: "Yo, could it be that this old guy is a newly hired apprentice of a small worker?" I said boy, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, in this kind of place, follow this waste to learn to strike iron, not only will you not learn anything, but you will even lose your life!"

"What did you say?" Zhang Chao clenched his fists, he had an urge to smash the hateful face of the knife face directly!

"Little, young man, don't be impulsive, I'm fine!" Lao Li hurriedly grabbed Zhang Chao's arm, then took a few deep breaths, and said to the knife face: "Get out, get out of my shop, you are not welcome here!"

"Hmph, just keep your mouth shut, this time it's just a warning, I'll come back in three days, if you're still stubborn, this shop will disappear from Cannes forever!" Blade Face sneered a few times, beckoned, and left with the two thugs.

"Damn!" Zhang Chao gritted his teeth, that knife face didn't have any strength, and it was only the first layer of the Kaiyuan Realm, and the two thugs were both from the second layer of the Kaiyuan Realm.

If he really makes a move, although Zhang Chao doesn't dare to guarantee that he can win, he shouldn't lose to them.

The main thing is that this scene is too infuriating, and that knife face is even more underwhelming!

"Forget it, young man, it's useless to be angry with that kind of person!" Lao Li let go of Zhang Chao's arm and went to the basin next to him to take out a towel to cover his face.

"What the hell is going on? Who is that guy? It's too arrogant, isn't it?" Zhang Chao was still indignant.

"Alas, it's all my sin, he is my original apprentice!" Lao Li shook his head with a bitter face.

"Huh, your original apprentice, isn't that a deception to the master and destroy the ancestors?" Zhang Chao's eyes widened, that knife face was too livestock, right?

"It's hard to put into words, maybe it's really like what the guy said just now, if they come back in three days, my shop may be gone, but at least if you become an apprentice, I will definitely not treat you badly in these three days!" Lao Li said in a strange way.

Zhang Chao was even more skeptical.

Obviously, they have all ended up in such a field, why is this Lao Li still thinking about beckoning for apprentices?

And even if there are only three days left?

"I know your heart is full of doubts, but don't worry, I need someone to help me now, as long as you are willing to help me, as long as it takes three days, you can take whatever I have in this blacksmith shop!" Lao Li saw Zhang Chao's questioning and hesitant look, gritted his teeth, and said such a promise!

"Huh?" Zhang Chao's face was full of embarrassment, he just wanted to find a stable job, so that he could take root in this Cannes City first, and slowly investigate the matter of his parents, but how could he find a seemingly inconspicuous small blacksmith shop, and what incident could he be involved in?

"You should be a cultivator, right?" asked Lao Li again.

"Yes, the first floor of Kaiyuan Realm!" Zhang Chao nodded, he had nothing to hide from this kind of thing.

"Okay, it's only one floor...... But it's barely okay, after all, I don't have enough time to find someone else for help now!" Lao Li gritted his teeth, went up and grabbed Zhang Chao's wrist and pulled him away.

"Alas, why are you going, I haven't agreed yet......" Zhang Chao wondered, but he didn't expect that Lao Li, a waste man with broken meridians, had quite a lot of strength in his hands, and his wrists seemed to be caught by a vice, and he couldn't break free at all.

Lao Li pulled Zhang Chao to the innermost part of the blacksmith shop, and raised his hand to pull on a rope that hung down.

"Keralala!" there was a noise on the ground, and a dark passage appeared.

"Secret passage?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, even a small blacksmith shop has a secret passage?

The people in this city are so unpredictable!

"Here, except for me, no one knows, even the previous apprentices, I have never mentioned half a point!" Lao Li looked solemn and pulled Zhang Chao down the stairs of the secret passage.

Under the dark passage, there is no cave.

This space is several times larger than the blacksmith shop above, and the tools for all kinds of blacksmithing tools are complete, and the quality is much higher than those above.

"This is ......," Zhang Chao rubbed his chin.

"My last place of hope!" Lao Li said, walked to a table, and carefully picked up an artifact.

Zhang Chao looked over when he heard this.

It was an incense burner, very small and exquisite, and most of it was covered with cobweb-like hollow patterns, which was simply ingenious.

It's a pity that this is only a semi-finished product, and if you want to complete it, it is estimated that it will take a lot of work.

This thing is a magic weapon!

Zhang Chao could see at a glance that this was still a magic weapon of not low grade, could it be that Lao Li made it himself?

"It took me thirty years to make most of this incense burner, and I hope that you can help me to complete the rest in three days, even if I die...... There are no regrets!" Lao Li said to Zhang Chao with an incense burner......
