The clanging sound of forging can be heard clearly on the platform, as early as Xiao Rui's first day of practice, it aroused everyone's curiosity, many people are thinking, people who come here are ready to seize treasures, how can there still be people here to forge things? So people keep coming to inquire, there are many forces from the Holy Heaven Empire, among them there are also people who have seen Xiao Rui at the Holy Heaven Drinking Party, and soon Xiao Rui's name spread on this platform. Some people who are very sensitive to this name began to pay attention to Xiao Ruilai, including Ling Xiao of Yunxiao Mountain, and an old man, but Gu Jian, the elder of the Gu family.

At this time, Gu Jian was sitting in a tent, and in front of him stood a disciple of the Gu family, this disciple said: "Great Elder, the disciple has followed your orders and has already found out that this Xiao Rui is indeed from the Holy Heavenly City, and he became the guest elder of the Duan family after the Zhao family attacked the Imperial City in the Holy Heavenly City. Now he is learning to forge from a young man named Xia Keming. I heard that I started practicing after coming to this Cloud Piercing Peak. The people who came to the Duan family this time include Xiao Rui and Xia Keming and a person named Luo Hong, a total of thirteen people, the leader is called Duan Hui, who is the third prince, the main characters are three elders, and there is also a young man named Duan Fei, who seems to have a high status, and the rest are the branch disciples of the Duan family. They are now stationed on the westernmost side of the platform, near the edge of the cliff. After listening to the report, Gu Jian said to the disciple: "Okay, you go out first, continue to stare at Xiao Rui, and pay attention to his whereabouts." "Yes, Grand Elder. The disciple was ordered to withdraw. Gu Jian sat on the couch and pondered: This Xiao Rui should be the kid that Yuetian said, he must have killed Yuetian and made great contributions to the Duan family before he was hired as an elder of Keqing, and he should not have too high skills. But what happened to the two brothers, Yue Feng and Yue Yun? And Elder Gu Xin, what kind of masters did they encounter? Could it be that this Xiao Rui was accompanied by a master? No, I have to go and take a look, first understand the strength of the opponent, and be prepared for the treasure hunt.

Gu Jian made up his mind, got up and came to the outside of the tent, and immediately a disciple of the family followed, Gu Jian said to the disciple: "Take me to the tent of the Duan family, I want to see how Xiao Rui forges." The disciple nodded and led the way, and the two soon came to the place where Xiao Rui was forging. It is on the westernmost side of the platform, near the side of the mountain, a little beyond the cliff, to the south is the slope, and on the back is the main peak of the Cloud Piercing Peak. Xiao Rui occupies an area of about ten square meters, and has set up a forging furnace with an anvil next to it. At this time, there are already a lot of people gathered around the periphery, because everyone is waiting for the news of the birth of the treasure, if the treasure does not come out, everyone has nothing to do. Now that Xiao Rui is such an alternative, he has the leisure to forge here, and everyone comes to watch. And Xiao Rui and Xia Keming don't have the idea of cherishing themselves, it doesn't matter who comes to see it, so every time Xiao Rui practices, there will be onlookers. Xiao Rui was standing in front of the forge at this time, stepping on the pedal of a windmill under his feet, the windmill was facing the forge furnace, blowing the furnace fire fiercely, and a three-foot-long piece of fine iron in the furnace fire was already burned red, Xiao Rui stepped on a few more feet, and saw that the fine iron was already slightly yellow, before stopping. He took a pair of fire tongs in his left hand, and when the fire stopped slightly, he immediately picked up the fine iron, turned around and placed it on the anvil, and raised a forging hammer in his right hand, and struck it with a clang.

Looking at Xiao Rui's movements now, they are already very similar to Xia Keming's movements when he banged the forging furnace in Lanzhu City. The first hammer went down, knocked on the fine iron, and the hammer bounced, but Xiao Rui did not deliberately control it, but followed the force of the hammer, drew an arc in the air, led the hammer down again, and smashed it on the fine iron, so back and forth, every blow will bring the force of the last bounce, and the later it is, the greater the force of the hammer. Although Xiao Rui's landing point is a little different every time he hits now, his movements are already in shape, which makes Xia Keming admire. Soon, the iron changed from square to flat, but the color also began to turn black. Xiao Rui put the fine iron into the forging furnace again, stepped on the windmill, and the furnace fire quickly burned the fine iron red. Xiao Rui picked up the fine iron and continued to strike, this time, the people watching around had already seen that Xiao Rui seemed to be forging a knife. The blade of this knife is very wide, the back of the knife is very thick, the tip of the knife is slightly curved back, and there are several huge serrations at the front end of the back of the knife, which looks very domineering.

In fact, this knife was forged by Xiao Rui according to the shape of the knife that Dao Zun had transformed into when Gu Xin was killed last time. Xiao Rui understood after seeing the knife shape that the Daozun had transformed that that was the true shape of the Daozun's body, and if he wanted to reshape the body for him in the future, he had to be familiar with the shape of his body first, so Xiao Rui had been forging the long knife according to this appearance for the past few days. Seeing that the knife had been formed, Xiao Rui couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Suddenly, someone in the crowd of onlookers said, "This knife looks good, but I don't know if it can split firewood." This sounded useless in satirizing the knife forged by Xiao Rui. Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it was a man who was not tall, with a dark face, and a thin body. This person looks ordinary, but his eyes are indeed full of light, and his skills seem to be not weak. Seeing that everyone looked at him, this person did not flinch, but took a step forward, just looked at Xiao Rui coldly.

Xiao Rui and Xia Keming naturally heard what this person said, Xia Keming was furious, and was about to shoot back, but Xiao Rui grabbed him and said to Xia Keming: "Don't be impulsive, this brother is right, this knife is indeed just good-looking, but the hardness is not enough, you also know this, we don't need to be angry with others." Xia Keming glanced at the lean man and said to Xiao Rui: "We know that we know, he is too annoying to speak." Xiao Rui smiled slightly, stepped forward and said to the man: "In Xia Xiao Rui, I am a beginner in forging, but I have just practiced for a few days, which makes Your Excellency smile." Listening to what Your Excellency just said, you must also be a master in the industry, and please don't hesitate to give advice. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xiao Rui to have such an attitude, but it made his face slightly embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, Your Excellency really just practiced forging?" It turned out that this person had just come to this Cloud Piercing Peak yesterday, and when he came out today, he heard the sound of Xiao Rui's clanging here, so he came to watch. Seeing that Xiao Rui just created a low-quality knife shape, he was happy, and he couldn't help but be sarcastic. Now I heard that Xiao Rui had just learned to forge, and my heart was full of doubts. Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Excellency, it's only a matter of a few days to touch this forging hammer, and as for the forging technique, it was taught a few days ago by this friend of Xia." The man raised his eyes and looked at Xia Keming carefully, and suddenly there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and he arched his hand at Xia Keming and said, "Dare to ask this friend's surname?" Xia Keming looked disdainful, and did not return the courtesy, and said in a deep voice: "My name is Xia Keming, do you have any advice?" The man was not annoyed, and then asked: "Xia Keming, do you know Xia Jinming?" Xia Keming was stunned, and his eyes showed anger: "Who are you? How do you know this name?"

The man was still not annoyed, but he took two steps forward, got closer to Xia Keming, and said softly: "In Xia Wang Jun, Xia Jinming is my senior brother, and you are Senior Brother Xia's family?" Xia Keming was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with great joy: "Wang Jun? Xia Jinming is my third brother, and I am his sixth brother." The third brother often mentions you!" Wang Jun also showed joy on his face: "Sure enough, it's Senior Brother's family, how is Senior Brother now?" Xia Keming heard it. His face immediately darkened: "Third brother, since his hands were cut off, he returned home and closed his door, and he didn't see anyone, and he became more and more haggard. Later, I forced him to learn blacksmithing, and he began to come out to meet people, but his heart seemed to be dead, and he didn't care about anything but teaching me to blacksmith. Of course, what he taught me was only some basics, and he would never mention your master's mastery again. Wang Jun's face was also gloomy: "Alas, the senior brother is actually wronged, but the master and his old man are too paranoid." By the way, on the way here, I heard that there was a forging treasure in Lanzhu City that was smashed, saying that there was a trace of divine sense hidden in the forging furnace they sold, and he could steal forging techniques, was it your brother who they harmed?" He pointed at Xiao Rui. Then I gave a general account of what happened.

The two chatted, and Xiao Rui stopped what he was doing. The surrounding onlookers saw that Xiao Rui was no longer forging, so they also began to disperse. And Xiao Rui was also ready to put out the fire and clean up his things. Just as Xiao Rui turned around to clean up, he suddenly found that in the scattered crowd, there was an old man still standing there, looking at him quietly. When he looked closely, he found that the old man was staring at the knife that had just been forged in his hand. Xiao Rui felt strange in his heart, he forged such a knife today, first attracted a Wang Jun, but fortunately, it was the junior brother of Xia Keming's brother. Now the old man didn't know why he was staring at the knife. Could it be that he is also a forger? Seeing that the quality of his knife is not good, he also wants to teach himself a lesson?

The old man saw that Xiao Rui was paying attention to himself, looked around, and saw that everyone had already walked away, and Xia Keming and Wang Jun were chatting warmly on the side. He actually stepped forward and asked Xiao Rui: "Xiaoyou, may I ask who asked you to build this knife?" Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and replied: "No one, I am practicing forging by myself, and I am playing casually." The old man's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "You are playing by yourself, but where did you learn the style of this knife?" The old man's question made Xiao Rui's heart shocked, and he immediately thought of what Daozun had said, if the news of Daozun was known, it would definitely cause an uproar. And listening to the old man's question, it seems that he is very familiar with this knife, so he must know some news about the sword venerable. If he knew that Daozun was on him, would he get into trouble? Yes, he would definitely get into trouble, maybe it would be a disaster. Countless thoughts flashed in Xiao Rui's heart in an instant, but he said: "What kind of style, I built it casually, I thought this shape was very good-looking, so I made it like this, why, Your Excellency also likes this style? If you like it, then I will give it to you, although the quality of this knife is not very strong, but it can also be used against it." ”

The old man smiled: "Hehe, Xiaoyou laughed, you can't imagine the power of this knife, it is not a simple to deal with, if this knife is shot, I am afraid that no knife can be its opponent." Xiao Rui looked at the old man with a surprised face, this time he was not surprised by the power of the knife that the old man said, but surprised that the old man must know a lot about the real sword venerable. But Daozun has been sleeping for more than 3,000 years, so how old does this old man have to be? Could it be that he is a real power, a person who has reached the peak of a divine master or an immortal venerable? But isn't it said that there is no such character in the Eastern Saint Continent? Besides, if there really is, I am afraid that he will not be able to live for 3,000 years! Seeing the surprise on Xiao Rui's face, the old man actually stretched out his hand and gently took the knife from Xiao Rui's hand. This knife was still a rudimentary form at this time, with only a blade, no jaw guards and no handle. The old man smiled and said to Xiao Rui, "Little friend, let you see the power of this knife!" As he spoke, he only clamped the tail of the knife with his thumb and index finger, the tip of the knife pointed outward, and waved it at the main peak of Cloud Piercing Peak. The knife immediately turned into a white light, and in the blink of an eye, it slashed into the mountain.

There was a loud bang, the main body of the entire Cloud Piercing Peak trembled slightly, the huge mountain rocks rolled down from the mountain, the snow in the sky was flying, the mountain wind was whistling, and a whirlwind rolled up from time to time, wrapped in snow, the already slightly gloomy sky was even darker, and it seemed that even the sky had changed its face. The tents on the platform shook, and everyone ran out of the tents, their faces changing dramatically, and they didn't know why. Xiao Rui's face was even more incredible, the first knife he forged had such a power, and the old man didn't seem to understand why it had such an effect, and there was a surprised expression on his face.
