Chapter 120: The Valley of Earth and Fire in the Cold Pool

"The fifth order, like a watershed."

On the way to the Valley of the Soldiers, Li Yuan was still pondering the changes in the Commander's Basket and the Combined Soldier Furnace.

Except for the need for incense, there is nothing wrong with this stove.

"After that, we'll have to find a way to get some incense."

Crossing the lake by boat, the afternoon sun shining on the cold pool was quite dazzling, and Li Yuan caught a glimpse of Liang Ashui.

He propped up the boat and extradited the disciples back and forth.

The treatment of the inner disciples is better than that of the outer door, and they have a monthly money of five taels of silver to get.

Five taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people, but it is far from enough for the inner disciples to practice, so they naturally have to make money.

The extradition of Hantan is one such task.

However, Li Yuan guessed that Liang Ashui should still be thinking about how to fish, and there is no shortage of spirit fish in this cold pool.

"True Disciple ......"

Seeing Li Yuan greeting him from a distance, Liang Ashui nodded in response, his heart was complicated.

The gap between the inner disciples and the true disciples is greater than the gap between the young master and the accompanying students.

Not to mention anything else, it's just a reward after the true transmission ceremony, and the inner disciples can't earn it in their lifetime.

Not to mention other hidden treatments.

For example, for the Hantan ferry, ordinary disciples have to pay a penny of silver for one round trip, but true disciples don't need it.

"If I can't catch a spirit fish, I may not be able to become strong in ten years, let alone the true inheritance."

Liang Ashui sighed in his heart, concentrated on ferrying, and continued to make up the silver for his own bait.

"Another day, I'll see if I can touch a few spirit fish."

Looking at the sparkling waves on the lake, Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, there is no shortage of wealthy families in Fucheng, and the price of spirit fish can far exceed that of Gaoliu County.

The main thing is that it tastes really good, and he likes it very much.

Whew~

The lake breeze blows.

On the sampan, Li Yuan looked around at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, seemingly enjoying the scenery, but in fact, he scanned everywhere, trying to find the Cracked Sea Whale Hammer.

"Isn't there a time limit for the appearance of this hammer? We have to wait until after next year?"

Li Yuan, who had found nothing, sighed in his heart, after the commander of the soldier was promoted to the fifth rank, he could feel the blade within twenty meters.

But the Shenbing Mountain Range covers an area of thousands of miles, and searching for it aimlessly is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Will it be in the Valley of the Forge Soldiers?"

After getting off the ferry, Li Yuan walked towards the Valley of the Foundry, and as far away, he could see straight and thick chimneys.

Black smoke billowed and could be seen clearly from a distance of ten miles.

The island in the middle of the lake where the mountain gate of the Valley of Divine Soldiers is located, with a radius of about thirty or forty miles, and the Valley of the Soldiers is on the easternmost side, far away from the great ceremony of the sect and away from the residence of the disciples.

Controlling the second-order Liuhe boots, Li Yuan's footsteps were faster, and after a while, he had already arrived outside the Forge Soldier Valley.

The valley is surrounded by hills on three sides, and only one side can be entered, and it is guarded by armored guards and is heavily guarded.

With the true token, Li Yuan was unimpeded, and he entered the valley with a first-order hammer soldier.

Before he had crossed the long corridor, he heard a voice full of breath for 80,000 miles:

"What, my hammer only damaged such a corner, and you want to pay eight hundred taels?!"

Walking through the first line of corridors, his vision suddenly opened up, and Li Yuan saw a giant man with his hands crossed at a glance.

Li Yuan looked at the deep valley here, and in the middle were six chimneys that were no less than 100 meters high, and the surrounding area seemed to be the residence of disciples and craftsmen.

Bawanli stood at a tunnel entrance, his eyes widened angrily, and a shirtless man was sprayed with a face by him, and bowed his head with a wry smile:

"Eighth Senior Brother, this is the price in the valley, even if you kill the junior brother, there is no way."

"No more!"

Eighty thousand miles of fire, he lifted the hammer and turned around, only then did he see Li Yuan:

"Senior Brother Li, your hammer is also broken?"

Glancing at the deformed long-handled melon hammer, Li Yuan shook his head and accentuated his tone:

"No, let's see. Senior brother, you

Forget it, I'm also a blacksmith."

"I almost forgot, you're a blacksmith too!"

Bawanli patted his head, and then remembered that his junior brother was originally known as a forging wizard.

Thinking about it, his eyes lit up:

"Senior brother, will you repair the hammer soldiers?"

"What's so hard about that?"

Li Yuan was overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm and calm, so that he could be trusted more easily:

"Before the end of last year, I built two superb blades, one of which is a heavy hammer!"

"Good!"

Bawanli was overjoyed, glared at the surprised blacksmith behind him, raised his hand and threw the drum and golden hammer over:

"Fix this hammer, senior brother will give you a thousand taels!"

As he spoke, he glared at the blacksmith behind him, who smiled bitterly and bowed his head, speechless in his heart.

Who is a normal person who can do such a thing?

Call~

Li Yuan took the giant hammer, his eyes lit up slightly.

This heavy hammer is at least 800 catties, wielded with 80,000 li of strength, it is really a murderous weapon.

"What did Senior Brother say? You and I, brother, where can I get money for a hammer?"

Li Yuan waved his hand.

Seeing that he took the hammer casually and didn't need any money, Bali was even more satisfied: "In seven days, I will go out of the valley, is there enough time?"

Seven days is too short.

Li Yuan regretted in his heart, so he naturally nodded and agreed: "Enough is enough, but where is Senior Brother going?"

This is a fifth-order heavy hammer, and it is blessed with a consummation-level fighting hammer, which is too useful for him.

It's just that he can't meet the conditions for taking charge at this time, and just wants to take the opportunity to take the deal.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main thing is to make a name for yourself first.

Eighty thousand miles of such a loud voice, there is no need to waste.

"There's something in Cloudview County that I need to go through."

Bawani shook his head and didn't say much, just snorted coldly at the blacksmith behind him, turned around and left.

Cloudview County?

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything.

Shao Fangbai's Bai family is in Yunjing County, and in addition, Gaoliu County is also ......

"Senior Brother Li."

The blacksmith was not at all annoyed by the robbery, and bowed his hand, with some enthusiasm:

"Senior brother has heard that you are a rare forging genius, but you are too busy these days to visit."

"Senior brother?"

Glancing at this old man's weathered face, Li Yuan responded with a smile and followed him into the tunnel.

The Valley of the Forge is not on the ground, but underground.

He had also heard of the names of the Cold Pool Water and the Valley of Flames for a long time.

This craftsman's name is Zhu Chen, he is an outer disciple, he looks old, but in fact, he is only twenty-one, and he came to the Forge Soldier Valley at the age of six.

Zhu Chen was quite enthusiastic, and introduced to him the craftsmen he met on the road, as well as the various facilities in the Forge Soldier Valley.

"Under the Valley of Fire, there is a natural fire vein, because it is surrounded by cold pool water, so it is only vented from here, which is quite hot, and it is a natural place to cast soldiers."

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Li Yuan felt a rolling heat wave, the further down he went, the hotter it became, and when he arrived at the forging place, he felt that his breath was hot.

However, he was more concerned about the light of the blade that flashed from time to time in the corner of his eye than the temperature.

Along the way, he felt the existence of at least more than ten famous weapons, and in this hundred-meter formation, he was afraid that there was no other mystery.

"Good fellow!"

A hundred meters down, in the empty forging place, Li Yuan saw the six chimneys at a glance.

The huge chimneys surrounded by ten people are deep into the ground, and next to each chimney, there are dozens of forging platforms.

Under every forging table, there is boiling magma flowing, and all kinds of charcoal that promotes fire and burns are stuffed into it like no money.

"Senior Brother Li, go in by yourself."

Zhu Chen was already sweating profusely when he got here.

He has only just cultivated his internal strength, and he is responsible for carrying iron materials and entertaining people who come and go on weekdays.

For another five or six years, you may not be qualified to hold a hammer.

"I'm tired."

Li Yuan nodded, and walked towards one of the empty chimneys with the drum and golden hammer.

Zhu Chen had already passed through, and at this time, many craftsmen came over, and one of them, an old man in only shorts, spoke:

"Disciple Han Chuijun?"

"Elder Hui, the disciple is exactly."

Li Yuan bowed.

This old man was tall, square-faced, bearded, with two muscles and muscles, and thick limbs, which were the back of a turtle-shaped crane.

It is the third elder of the Casting Soldier Valley, Lei Jingchuan, who has been famous for decades.

"Hum!"

Before Li Yuan's words fell, he heard the strong wind coming, raised his hand without thinking, his muscles and muscles swelled, his internal strength was vigorous, and he held the smashed forging hammer in his palm.

'Old man is so strong!

Li Yuan took a step back, only to feel that his arm was numb, but when he glanced at the forging hammer, his heart couldn't help but jump.

【Odd Soldier Forging Hammer (4th Order)】

[Ten thousand years of blazing iron, mixed with seventy-nine kinds of rare iron, tempered by a thousand fires, quenched by a hundred bloods, there are thousands of hammers and blades held by the forging master, and the spirit ...... gradually born]

[Palm conditions: forging technique consummation, downward hammer consummation, superior hammer consummation]

[Palm Control Effect: Casting Martial Arts Dacheng (Light Blue), Armor Tempering Dacheng (Light Green), Armor Spiritism (Deep Blue), Soldier Fighting Hammer Perfection (Deep Blue)]

Great stuff!

Holding this hammer, Li Yuan didn't want to let go, this was the best forging hammer he had ever encountered after the master's hammer.

"Good muscles, good strength!"

Lei Jingchuan praised and beckoned: "Come, it is rumored that you are a forging wizard outside, come, let the old man palm his eyes!"

"Mastery, Master's Hammer!"

Li Yuan very decisively replaced the Liuhe boots that had been in charge for only three hours.

"Bijing Copper Hammer, Jinggang Wind Tiger Pestle, Hundred Refining Wind Breaking Mallet, Best Pure Steel Hammer...... Hammer of the Greatest!"

Striding in front of Lei Jingchuan, Li Yuan was already ready.

The sound of striking iron in the forging ground stopped for most of the time, and the eyes of many craftsmen looked at this 'forging wizard.

Before the latter could speak, Li Yuan had already raised his hand and smashed the red-hot iron ingot on the forging table with a hammer.

This hammer is the great perfection of forging skills, the power of thousands of catties, the strength of the heavy, and the blessing of hammer talent.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The hammers in the Forge Valley are all craftsmen who have accumulated years, and their eyes are so vicious, Li Yuan smashed them out with a hammer, and many people have already seen things.

Even Lei Jingchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Rumble!

The hammer fell like thunder, and then, it stretched endlessly, like a surging river and a strong wind.

Li Yuan's hammer technique is already excellent, the cloak hammer is perfect, the fighting hammer is also proficient, and at this moment, there is the blessing of four heavy soldiers and craftsmen's hammers.

With both strength, talent, and weightlifting, after eighteen hammers, some people have changed their faces.

After thirty-six hammers, only the sound of his striking iron remained in the forging place, and when the one hundred and eight fighting hammers were all beaten, the forging ground was dead silent.

Such a dense and even hammer sound can be done by everyone present, but how long do they strike iron?

Twenty or thirty years is short, and forty or fifty years is long, how old is this kid?

"Senior Brother Li, have you really struck iron for less than two years?"

A blacksmith put down his hammer and was in disbelief.

"Listen to this hammer, this kid is not inferior to me, how is this possible?"

"Is there really a forging wizard with such talent?"

"The iron-striking wizard of the nine-shaped root bone? Hell, in the Valley of Divine Soldiers for thousands of years, how could there be a disciple with such a talent to strike iron?"

Someone spoke, and the forging ground suddenly became agitated, and there was a lot of discussion.

Before and after the True Transmission Ceremony, Li Yuan's name had already spread throughout the Valley of the Divine Soldiers, and although they had stayed at home, they had heard of it.

Many people have heard of his reputation as a forging wizard, but most of them scoff at it, after all, the genius of the dragon-shaped root bone is not enough to practice martial arts, where will he come to strike iron?

But now......

"Whew!"

After a set of hammer techniques, Li Yuan was calm, with his current physical strength, this was no longer enough to make him sweat.

"Uh-huh......

Lei Jingchuan frowned and was silent, stretched out his hand to grab the hot fiery essence iron ingot, and his expression finally changed.

There is no shortage of hammer masters in the Divine Soldier Valley, he has even seen Han Chuijun's hammer method, he was a little surprised by Li Yuan's hammer method, but he was far from picking up this piece of iron.

"So even?"

Blazing iron is a rare iron material found in cold iron and earth fire, and is known for its toughness and extreme difficulty in refining.

Of the three hundred craftsmen in the Forge Valley, less than half of them can refine this iron.

This is not something that can be done by being a good hammer skill, it requires countless times of forging experience, as well as a very high level of forging talent.

Glaring at the other blacksmiths, Lei Jingchuan asked, "How long have you been working for iron?"

"Almost a year."

Li Yuan replied.

When he entered the valley, his roots had already been investigated, and this kind of thing that could be known by asking about it naturally did not need to be concealed.

He came to this Forge Soldier Valley, in addition to looking for the Split Sea Whale Hammer, he was also preparing to learn the art of forging soldiers.

The Valley of Divine Soldiers is named after the Divine Soldiers, even if it has declined in recent years, but the thousand-year-old inheritance cannot be faked.

The value of the Soldier's Forging Technique will not be inferior to the Soldier's Fighting Hammer, and in a sense, it is likely to be exceeded.

"Less than a year."

Weighing the iron material in his hand, Lei Jingchuan muttered to himself twice, and then put the iron material down:

"Go on."

Li Yuan's heart was slightly settled, and he lifted the hammer to hit again, and he found that this iron ingot had a lot of impurities, and it was extremely difficult to remove.

However, he is very stable in his grasp of strength, and he is still hammering iron one after another, not in a hurry or impatient.

The rest of the blacksmiths watched for a while, and after being reprimanded by Lei Jingchuan, they resumed their busyness.

"This is the dragon-shaped bone?"

Lei Jingchuan watched quietly, and his heart was far from being so calm as it seemed.

This kid has been striking iron for a year, and he is actually worth ten years?

It's a talent......

Listening to the sound of the hammer that was almost indistinguishable, Lei Jingchuan couldn't stand still, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and left.

"It should be about the same, right?"

Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

The art of forging soldiers is not easy to learn, and there are many craftsmen who have been fighting iron for ten or twenty years in this forging place who have not learned it.

He wants to learn immediately, so naturally he has to show his talent, otherwise, why should others value you?

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Li Yuan breathed steadily, hammering the iron, he hadn't struck the iron for half a year, and he was actually a little immersed in it at this time.

In particular, the forging hammer in his hand is really too handy.

"It's time for me to get a new hammer too......

……

The Valley of the Forge has almost been hollowed out, and there are many caves in the hundreds of meters thick strata, and the tunnels are even more intricate.

Lei Jingchuan was familiar with the road, walked through a complex tunnel, and came to a cave.

Stalactites hang everywhere in the cave, and unlike the forging ground, it is cold here, and even the walls of the mountain are frozen.

In the depths of the cave, in front of a huge pit, there was a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line hung down into the deep pit.

This deep pit, connected to the cold pool water, is the most hidden crypt in the Forge Soldier Valley.

"Senior brother!"

Lei Jingchuan strode over.

The white-haired old man is the great elder of the Casting Soldier Valley, Jing Shuhu, who started more than 70 years ago, and has been the same true inheritance as Han Chuijun and Ram Yu.

"The old man's fish!"

After Shuhu pulled the fishing rod, he saw that the empty hook was missing the bait, and he was immediately a little annoyed:

"The old man finally caught it, and you scared it away!"

「…… You can't catch a fish yourself, blame me?"

Glancing at the deep pit, Lei Jingchuan retorted unceremoniously: "I strike iron every day, but you are idle!"

"If it weren't for you, the old man would have caught it this time!"

Jing Shuhu snorted coldly, and then asked, "You rushed here, could it be that there is a problem with the 'Sky Hook' for the Flying Waterfall Hall?"

"The old man made a move, what is the value of a mere high-grade famous vessel?"

Lei Jingchuan waved his hand and said:

"Today, Han Chuijun's newly accepted disciple is here......

"Han Chuijun!"

Jing Shuhu's face sank: "That old thing comes, and the old man doesn't see it, let alone his disciple?"

His status is special, except for the valley master, the other five elders don't care, let alone a new true inheritance?

"It's different."

Lei Jingchuan didn't bother to pay attention to the grievances between him and Han Chuijun, and said in a deep voice, "This new disciple of Han Chuijun is very talented!"

"Talent?"

Jing Shuhu sneered:

"It's not that the old man hasn't seen a dragon-shaped root bone, he's seen a big dragon-shaped root, how tall can he be?"

"It's different."

Seeing that Lei Jingchuan was not joking, Jing Shuhu became a little interested: "What's the difference?"

"He has a very high talent for hammering, and he also has a very high talent for forging!"

Lei Jingchuan said in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

Jing Shuhu frowned slightly:

"How tall?"

"The hammer talent may not be as good as Han Chuijun, but the forging talent is only better than you and me!"

"Fart!"

Jing Shuhu was furious, as if he had been poked in the scales: "His disciple's forging genius surpasses me?"

Lei Jingchuan's face was expressionless, looking at his senior brother as a demon, watching him calm down, and then said:

"Senior brother, you should know what this means......

"What does that mean?"

Jing Shuhu laughed:

"It's been 1,400 years since the ancestor went to the old man and Han Chuijun, don't you think there really is a 'Xuanjing Hammer?'

Lei Jingchuan bowed his head silently, and he also felt stunned.

Since the ancestor Xuanjing migrated to the mountain gate to the Shenbing Mountain, for more than 1,400 years, every generation of the Hammer Soldier Hall Master and the Casting Soldier Valley Master have been pursuing the legendary 'Heavenly Fortune Xuanbing.

But......

"You're right, maybe there is no ...... in the world."

Lei Jingchuan shook his head, suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and then raised his head, Jing Shuhu had disappeared in front of him:

"The old man wants to see how tall he is!"

「……」
