Chapter 7: Luo Gang
The successful casting of the top-grade iron sword means that Jin Lao has become a real swordsmith from an ordinary swordsmith, of course, this is something that has long been recognized in Nie Feng's eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, Nie Feng remembered the scene of Jin Lao's sword dance just now.
"Jin Lao, I really didn't expect you to have already broken through to the sword master, how do you usually cultivate?" Nie Feng's face was pious and adoring, for him, the sword master was his ultimate dream now, and he didn't expect that he would live with a sword master for so long.
"Hehe!" Jin Laowei smiled, reached out to lift the high-grade iron sword, and gently stroked the sword body.
"Where have I ever cultivated! Since I failed to break through the swordsman when I was young, I went directly into the iron smelting industry, and became a sword slave who has been with the charcoal fire for many years and only knows how to cast iron swords, but later I learned the teacher's craft, and then I opened a sword-casting shop, and I only realized five years ago that I had broken through to become a swordsman, and I have always been confused. ”
"But after the casting of the high-grade iron sword, I understand a lot! I am a swordsmith myself, not only casting swords all year round, but also living with shaped and unformed iron swords or sword blanks for many years, of course, the materials needed for casting swords are indispensable, so that even if I don't cultivate, I am nourished by the rich sword qi all the time, so that I have the opportunity to break through the swordsman. ”
"You have been staying in this shop all this time, and you have also lived with me, not only have you learned a lot of sword casting skills, but I am afraid that your body has also suffered a lot of benefits, hehe, you must have never thought of this!"
For a long time, Jin Lao only talked about things related to sword casting, he would be amiable and talkative, and this time he was in a good mood, and he even talked to Nie Feng about many things other than sword casting.
"And this kind of thing!" Nie Feng exclaimed.
In his heart, it is extremely difficult to be promoted to a swordsman, but the Jin Lao in front of him actually succeeded in a daze, which made him think of his parents at home, if his parents also learned the sword casting technique, not only would they not have to worry about food and clothing, but they might also be able to be promoted to a swordsman like Jin Lao over the years, and their parents should be very happy at that time.
"Swordsman......" Nie Feng's eyes showed a hint of yearning.
Jin Lao didn't know what Nie Feng was thinking, but when he saw him at a young age, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Now that you've learned the swordsmithing technique, it's time for you to go to the Savage Mountains to practice. Although the sword qi here is a little richer than outside, it depends on its little bit of nourishment, and it will take me an unknown number of years to be promoted to a swordsman, and you only have less than four years, so you have to hurry!" Jin Lao muttered casually.
"Are you going to the Savage Mountains......
Nie Feng's galloping thoughts were pulled back to the front of him, yes, wasn't the purpose of his coming here just to enhance his physique through the trip to the Savage Mountain Range? However, in the sword forging shop, his physique seemed to have improved a lot.
"Hehe, I don't have anything to teach you here, if you don't go to the Wild Mountain Range, how can you enhance your physique? If your physique can't reach the limit, how can you be promoted to a swordsman?" Jin Lao teased with a smile.
"Jin Lao!" Nie Feng raised his head slightly, "I am a nine-rank qualification, do you think I can successfully promote to a swordsman?"
"Oh?" Facing Nie Feng's question, Jin Lao was slightly surprised, in his eyes, Nie Feng was a genius with an excellent talent for sword casting, how could a genius be a nine-grade qualification that could be called a waste of waste in the waste of sword qi absorption, this is indeed too incredible.
But Jin Lao was surprised and thought about it seriously, and after a while, he stared at Nie Feng's small face very seriously and said, "Nine-rank qualification, it is indeed very difficult to temper the body, but as long as you cultivate hard, coupled with the continuous fight with the fierce beasts and the continuous training in actual combat, I think it is not impossible to improve the strength of the body as soon as possible! Besides, ......"
Jin Lao hesitated.
"What's more?" Nie Feng was looking forward to Elder Jin being able to continue.
"Besides, the qualification of the Nine Grades is not unchangeable, but the required natural treasures are too rare, but if you are lucky, you can find them in the Wild Mountain Range. Of course, with your ability, even if you find the fierce beasts that protect these natural treasures, you may have to find a chance to cooperate with others. Jin Lao said thoughtfully.
"Genius treasure......" Nie Feng licked his lips.
He had heard this kind of thing from the elders of Mufu, but he had never seen it, let alone tasted it. This kind of thing is not only rare, but it is also a treasure that ordinary people and even swordsmen, even including swordsmen, will be tempted by, how can he have such good luck!
But it's good to have the opportunity to work with others, at least to go a little deeper into the wilderness of the mountains, rather than just moving around the outermost areas.
"That's it, when the giant bear hunting group is going to go to the Savage Mountain Range to operate, I'll find someone to take you, try your luck, maybe there will be a good harvest!" Jin Lao saw Nie Feng, whose eyes were shining, and smiled slightly.
......
The wild mountain range, wide and untold for thousands of miles, is full of lush giant trees and ancient vines, and there are countless fierce beasts.
Hunting fierce beasts can not only obtain special materials such as fierce beast inner pills, furs, and bones, but also play a role in exercising the body, so on the Ancient Sword Continent, I don't know how many people will have this idea and choose to come to the Barbarian Mountain Range to practice.
Strictly speaking, Wild Stone Town is on the edge of the outer edge of the Savage Mountain Range, but if you encounter a ferocious beast of the right level, you have to go a little further.
In the next dozens of days, Nie Feng went out early and returned late, while going to the outskirts of the mountain range to find some low-level fierce beasts to fight, while quietly waiting for the movement of the giant bear hunting group.
The reason why I didn't choose the Yellow Dragon Hunting Group was because Jin Lao hated their faces very much, even when looking for Jin Lao to cast iron swords, the members of the Yellow Dragon Hunting Group still had a commanding appearance, in contrast, the Giant Bear Hunting Group was much more polite from top to bottom, so there was no doubt that Jin Lao had made a lot of friends in the Giant Bear Hunting Group.
A long-tailed beast in the shape of a rabbit collapsed in a pool of blood, and a young man with a long sword in his hand sat down breathlessly.
"This damn thing, I didn't expect it to move so fast, I was almost hurt by it!"
This is Nie Feng, who was lucky today, he had just left Yeshi Town less than five kilometers before he encountered the fierce beast in front of him.
What is the name of the fierce beast, Nie Feng can't say, but he remembers that when the fierce beast saw him just now, his originally clever and lively eyes immediately showed a murderous and terrifying expression, and before Nie Feng came back to his senses, the fierce beast flicked its long tail and pounced suddenly, and the sharp teeth in its mouth were like daggers in cold light, stabbing towards Nie Feng's neck.
Originally, Nie Feng was bored because he couldn't find a suitable beast, when suddenly a cloudy yellow shadow rushed towards him, so frightened that he almost shouted loudly, the middle grade long sword in his hand was sealed, his body retreated rapidly, and after rolling on the ground a few times, he narrowly avoided the blow of the fierce beast.
The speed of the fierce beast is amazing, and it can rise nearly two meters high with a flick of its tail, specifically looking for the lower mouth of the neck, which makes Nie Feng, who only knows basic swordsmanship, embarrassed.
In the end, Nie Feng finally used his housekeeping skills - some exquisite sword moves learned from Jin Lao, and the sword body was horizontally sealed and the tip of the sword was picked out, which was quite accidental and gave the fierce beast a heart-piercing cold.
Frightened, he saw the blood oozing from the belly of the fierce beast lying on the ground motionless, still feeling uneasy, and slowly approached and mended a fatal wound, until the look in the eyes of the fierce beast gradually disappeared, then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Peeling off the fur of the long-tailed beast with its tail in its entirety, Nie Feng was still a little unsatisfied, looked down, and muttered to himself, "This guy is so powerful, I don't know if there is a Neidan?"
In the past few days, Nie Feng has indeed killed some fierce beasts, and some of their skills are not weak, but to Nie Feng's disappointment, these fierce beasts seem to be too low-level, so there is no trace of Neidan in his body, and if he can't find Neidan, it is much more difficult to exchange for injury medicine with the fur and claws on the fierce beasts.
Some of the original wound medicine in Jin Lao's place has been consumed a lot by Nie Feng unconsciously, and if it goes on like this, although Jin Lao doesn't take it seriously, Nie Feng feels a little embarrassed, so he can't wait to get one or two fierce beast inner pills, so that he can be self-sufficient in terms of injury medicine.
Thinking of this, Nie Feng gently cut open the belly of the fierce beast, tossed around, and just near the neck of the fierce beast, a black peanut-sized round hard object appeared.
"Neidan!" Nie Feng almost jumped up excitedly, but then there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "It's Neidan that is good, but it's a pity that it's too small, I don't know what kind of medicine I can get!"
But after all, talking is better than nothing, Nie Feng still carefully took it out, and then put it in his pocket.
Looking at it, the rich and verdant forest in the distance has a chilling depth, there must be many fierce beasts with Neidan in their bodies, but with Nie Feng's ability, he can only look at it at this time.
"When will the Giant Bear Hunting Group take action!" Nie Feng felt a little anxious in his heart.
Twenty days have passed, and there has been no movement on what Jin Lao promised, and he is embarrassed to urge it.
In fact, if he had fought with the fierce beast in this wild grassland nearly a hundred miles away from the deep forest at the beginning, it would have played a role in tempering his physique, but Jin Lao had given him a great expectation, how could Nie Feng, who was a young man, resist such a temptation? Since Jin Lao promised, almost every day Nie Feng was looking forward to the giant bear hunting group to hurry up, and such a long wait had indeed become another kind of unspeakable torture for him.
At the end of the day, Nie Feng killed three fierce beasts, got three sets of furs, eight beast claws, and a very small fierce beast Neidan, Nie Feng, who thought that the harvest was quite good, couldn't help but pout fiercely when he was exchanged for injury medicine, his harvest in one day was only equal to two lowest-level trauma medicines.
"His grandfather's, this pharmacy is too dark!" Nie Feng muttered quietly back to the swordsmithing shop.
As soon as he entered the door, Nie Feng couldn't help but be stunned, because in addition to Jin Lao, there was also a middle-aged man with a black face in the sword casting shop, it was dusk at the moment, and with Jin Lao's temper, he had long been out of hospitality, but the middle-aged man was still in the shop, and Jin Lao seemed to have a smile on his face, which made Nie Feng puzzled.
"I'm back, come and see your Uncle Luo!" Jin Lao's voice rang out.
Due to the long-term relationship, Jin Lao has long regarded Nie Feng as his apprentice and junior, and Nie Feng naturally has no opinion on this, in addition to learning swordsmanship with Jin Lao, Jin Lao is also his father's elder after all, treating Nie Feng as a master like this, Nie Feng can even feel a trace of Jin Lao's family affection.
"Hello Uncle Luo!" Nie Feng put down the iron sword and bowed respectfully.
"Hehe, don't dare to be, don't dare to be! At a young age, he has become a swordsmith, this achievement is enough to stand out from the crowd!" The middle-aged man was obviously more talkative, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he told Nie Feng's achievements, so that the latter couldn't help but feel good about him.
Uncle Luo, named Luo Gang, a swordsman cultivator, one of the eight protectors of the Giant Bear Hunting Group, was entrusted by Jin Lao, and was the one who was ready to take Nie Feng to the Savage Forest together, and he was also the leader of the Giant Bear Hunting Group's operation.
Luo Gang and Jin Lao are quite familiar with each other, and this time he originally wanted to ask Jin Lao to cast a medium-grade iron sword for him, but when Jin Lao told Nie Feng about it, Luo Gang patted his chest without hesitation and agreed.
Seeing Nie Feng's non-arrogant and impatient character this time, especially at such a young age, he can achieve the achievement of a swordsmith, and still be humble and polite, this kind of young man is really rare, so he really has a little appreciation at this time.
The trip to the wild forest is set for tomorrow.
