Chapter 309: Start Preparations
Just after Chinese New Year's Eve, without resting like everyone else, Shi Xiaole entered the iron shop as usual.
The sound of striking iron sounded rhythmically.
In the end, five of the ten sword embryos exploded.
This means that out of ten strikes, Shi Xiaole has reached perfection in five times.
According to the parchment, the success rate of the highly skilled sword casters in ancient times was at least ninety out of five percent, and Shi Xiaole was still too far from this level.
I practiced hard for another month.
Shi Xiaole's percussion method became more and more proficient, and the success rate finally reached about seventy percent.
Two months later.
Ten sword embryos, eight bursting.
The third month.
Shi Xiaole's success rate is infinitely close to ninety.
"That's my limit for the time being. ”
Looking at the broken iron on the ground, Shi Xiaole let out a long breath.
No one knows his state better than he does. He knows that if he wants to achieve a success rate of 90% to 5%, it is no longer a matter of pure technology, but also needs a sense of honing.
Even if it's him, it takes time to accumulate.
However, the success rate of ninety percent can roughly ensure that Shi Xiaole will not waste the materials he has worked so hard to collect when casting the spirit sword, which is enough.
"Brother Le, come to my house for dinner at noon. ”
As he was closing the door of the iron shop, a girl with a big waist and a tall figure than many men walked over, looking shy.
"Cuihua, thank you for your kindness, but I have something for the time being, let's come back next time. ”
Shi Xiaole smiled.
Cuihua is Uncle Wang's daughter, twenty years old this year, and she is not married.
"What is Brother Le going to do?"
Cuihua asked curiously.
Normally, Brother Le wouldn't close the door until it was dark, although he had been busy all the time. I don't know why, looking at the closed iron shop door, Cuihua suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm going to forge a sword. Cuihua, here is fifty taels of silver, I picked it up from the ground, you can take it and buy some supplements for Uncle Wang. ”
Shi Xiaole took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it over.
Uncle Wang's leg was injured in his early years, and he was worried that his family would have no dowry and his daughter would not be able to settle down over the years, so he worked hard every day. Shi Xiaole knew the conditions of Uncle Wang's family, so he wanted to help them improve it.
Of course, you can't give too much, otherwise you will do bad things with good intentions.
"Fifty taels?"
Cuihua was startled. Daddy can't earn so much money after working for a year, Brother Alec's luck is so good?
"No, I can't take it. ”
"Cuihua, do you want to see Uncle Wang continue to work hard? Fifty taels of silver is not much, at least it can reduce his burden. ”
Shi Xiaole left.
Cuihua looked at his back, her eyes moistened.
There are some things that don't have to be said too clearly. Cuihua is not stupid, she knows that maybe she will never see this honest and honest Brother A Le who is busy every day.
......
Yuhua Town, one of the countless towns in Daliang Prefecture.
In a private room, Shi Xiaole, who was like jade in a green shirt, drank wine quietly.
After searching for more than half a year without success, the rivers and lakes of Daliangzhou have long given up tracking him, and many people even suspect that he has left Daliangzhou.
So Shi Xiaole is not worried about being discovered.
Moreover, there were only four Jianghu gangs in the entire Yuhua Town, and even the strongest Yuhua gang leader was only a Xuanqi Nine Heavy Cultivation, and he could not pose a threat to him at all.
The materials required for the lower grade spirit sword are not very precious, and they only need to produce chemical effects through special methods, and their toughness can far outweigh copper and iron.
One of the materials is only available in the vicinity of the Yuhua Gang. So this time, Shi Xiaole plans to buy some from the Yuhua Gang.
"Ah, help!"
Screams suddenly came from the street.
Shi Xiaole looked from the window and saw a beautiful girl being dragged by several people. There was a man lying on the ground with a bloody face, trying to rescue the woman, but he was pressed by the people next to him, and he was punched and kicked.
"Alas, it's not good to be favored by anyone, if you have to be favored by Second Master Yue, who can afford to provoke him in the entire Yuhua Town?"
The people on the side hid far away, afraid of trouble.
The family of the beautiful woman wanted to step forward, but they were stopped outside by the masters of the Yuhua Gang, and they could only cry and scream.
The nearby Jianghu people dare to be angry but dare not speak.
They have seen too many things like this, but if they want to mix in Yuhua Town, they can't offend Second Master Yue.
"Girl, if you don't want your husband to suffer in vain, let him go, and I'll have you sent back tomorrow. ”
Second Master Yue was condescending, and the words he said made the beautiful woman's face blush and white for a while, and the man was even more angry, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Xianggong. ”
The delicate woman was sad.
The forces of the Yuhua Gang control half of Yuhua Town, and there is a local government as an umbrella, as the younger brother of the leader of the Yuhua Gang, who can control the second master of Yue?
In the past, the other party robbed many married women, and sent them back to their husbands' houses when they were tired of playing, so that the women with a little beauty in Yuhua Town did not dare to go on the street.
Unexpectedly, this disaster fell from the sky, she just stood at the door of the house for a while, and was discovered by the other party.
"Dog thief, you don't want to die!"
The man was beaten to his knees, still glaring at Second Master Yue. As long as it's a man, he can't stand the shame of being a green hat.
"Hehe, there is backbone, but people with backbone will not end very well. ”
Yue Erye laughed cruelly, walked up to the man, and slapped the other party's forehead with one palm, and the ears of the person who listened to the whirring wind were hairy.
"Don't!"
The beautiful woman screamed and almost fainted.
Seeing that the man was about to die in the palm of his hand, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and at some point, a young man in a green shirt stood in front of Yue Erye and grabbed the other party's hand.
"Huh?"
The expressions of the nearby Jianghu people changed.
"Boy, do you dare to stop me and look for death?"
After Second Master Yue was surprised, he narrowed his eyes.
"Look at the way he looks, he seems to do that a lot?"
Ignoring the other party, Shi Xiaole asked the man on the ground.
The man also let go, gritted his teeth and said: "This person is the brother of the leader of the Yuhua Gang, relying on the power of the Yuhua Gang to do nonsense, I don't know how many people have been harmed." ”
Boast!
A figure flew out upside down, and when it landed on the ground, the liver and flesh spit out, and he was directly angry. Everyone looked at it fixedly, and they couldn't help but gasp, isn't this Second Master Yue?
"You dare to kill Second Master Yue?"
The Yuhua Gang was stunned, but as soon as they finished speaking, they directly followed in the footsteps of Second Master Yue and were pierced by Shi Xiaole's sword qi.
"Shaoxia, go quickly, the Yuhua Gang will not let you go. ”
Breaking free from the clutches of the devil, the man and the delicate girl hugged each other, turned his head to Shi Xiaole and reminded. The people around them were already scared away, for fear of being implicated.
"Is the Yuhua Gang bad?"
Shi Xiaole asked nonchalantly.
The man was in a hurry, thinking that running away now was the best policy, but the other party was a life-saving benefactor, and he couldn't help but answer, so he had to quickly say what the Yuhua Gang had done.
"What are you still doing, run. ”
The family members of the beautiful girl were so anxious that they stomped their feet, pulling and pulling.
Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.
A large number of people rushed in the distance, and when they saw the middle-aged man in front of them, the man and the beautiful girl and others were already crumbling, full of despair, and now they can't escape if they want to.
"Who killed my younger brother!"
When Yue Shan heard the news of his younger brother's killing, he rushed here as soon as possible, and when he saw the corpse on the ground, his eyes were red, and his face quickly turned hideous.
"Boy, is it your hand?"
Yue Shan glanced at a few people, and finally aimed at Shi Xiaole, hating to eat his flesh raw.
Although he is the leader of the Yuhua Gang, Yue Shan's level is not high enough, so he has never seen Shi Xiaole's portrait at all, otherwise it may not be this kind of reaction.
"Yes and what. ”
Shi Xiaole said lightly.
"Since it is, then you go to die, give it to me!"
Although Yue Shan was angry, he had not lost his mind yet. He planned to send someone up to test the other party's details first, and then make a plan.
However, without waiting for the master of the Yuhua Gang to pounce, Shi Xiaole took the lead in moving, putting his fingers together and gently touching towards the void.
Laugh at.
Bloodsplatter.
"No!"
Yue Shan knelt on the ground, with two holes in his knees, and a storm surged in his heart. I don't even know how the other party made a move.
The man and the delicate girl and the others froze.
The masters of the Yuhua Gang stopped castration, this is a group of people who bully the weak and fear the hard, knowing that they have kicked the iron plate, they can't wait to turn around and flee immediately.
Coming to Yue Shan, he asked a lot of questions with the Soul Transfer Dafa, Shi Xiaole pierced the opponent's throat with his sword qi, and solved several major masters with ease.
This scene shocked the rest of the people and scattered in all directions.
Shi Xiaole waved his hand lightly forward, and the sword qi that escaped was like rain, and a large number of people fell to the ground like dumplings, and no one was able to escape.
After this battle, the main force of the Yuhua Gang was completely wiped out.
After watching the whole process, the eyeliner sent by the other three gangs broke out in a cold sweat, and there was only one thought in their hearts, go and report to the gang leader and make plans early.
"Go back, there will be no Yuhua Gang from now on. ”
Shi Xiaole said a word to the stunned man and the others, and swept towards the direction of the Yuhua Gang.
Although he never admits that he is a chivalrous hero, Shi Xiaole doesn't mind taking care of it when he encounters injustices occasionally. Of course, destroying the Yuhua Gang also saved him the cost of buying green lazuli.
After getting the green lazuli in the warehouse of the Yuhua Gang, Shi Xiaole walked around again, but didn't find anything valuable, so he left.
In the following month, Shi Xiaole worked hard again, either buying, exchanging, or searching, and finally obtained all the materials for casting the spirit sword.
After being fully prepared, he rushed to Jinyun Mountain in the eastern part of Daliang Prefecture.
There is an active volcano in Jinyun Mountain.
To forge the low-grade spirit sword described on the parchment, it is necessary to use a special percussion method to use the high temperature above the volcanic magma as the storage energy.
Soon, Shi Xiaole discovered the active volcano.
The crater is about a few tens of meters in diameter, and when you look down, a sea of red and yellow bubbles of fire is churning wantonly, and every time it surges, a violent and fiery breath hits you, burning the skin of the human body.
"According to the data, this volcano erupts every few hundred years, and the last eruption was 30 years ago, so it should not be a major event. ”
In order to forge the first low-grade spirit sword, Shi Xiaole fought hard and jumped into the volcano.
