Chapter 16: Blood

In ancient times, there were very few entertainment items, and Li Mubai walked around and took a look in addition to practicing these days.

The jugglers who walk the streets and alleys, the storytellers who tell stories in the teahouse, the storytellers who tell the stories of the rivers and lakes, and the dusty women in the Qinglou painting boat, are almost the providers of all the entertainment projects that Li Mubai has seen in this world.

When he first came to this world, Li Mubai didn't know anything about everything here, and even looked at the figures of pedestrians coming and going on the street with great interest, but now all this can't attract Li Mubai, and it's not strange to see a lot.

The days were a little boring, Li Mubai was bored in the house all day long to practice martial arts, and occasionally went to drink with Lu Fatzi and them, and fought tooth sacrifices, but he was leisurely. The only thing that was a little unhappy was that these animals always tempted him with chic things, which made him extremely helpless, and he felt that his concentration was a little stronger, so he couldn't help but cry and laugh.

After seven or eight days, it has entered October, and Li Mubai also got two ordinary lottery opportunities, but he didn't use it. The ordinary lottery has little effect on Li Mubai, maybe some out-of-the-way items will be of some use, but in general it still has little effect, so he plans to save it and exchange it for the primary lottery, whether it is a lottery or a direct exchange at that time.

"Knock Knock"

"Is Gongzi Li here?"

Hearing the sound of the plane, Li Mubai got up and opened the door, and saw the inn's junior two and a burly, man in his early thirties standing outside the door.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Mubai.

Xiao Er immediately replied: "Li Gongzi, that's the case, this gentleman is from the City Lord's Mansion, and he said that he was looking for you for something, so I led him over to find you." ”

Li Mubai looked at the man, and when the man saw this, he stepped forward and said, "Li Shaoxia, I have come to ask you to go to the City Lord's Mansion to get your weapon on the order of the Fire Refining Master." ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency was sent by the Fire Refining Master, please sit inside, Xiao Er, you go and serve some side dishes, and then have a pot of wine. Li Mubai immediately greeted warmly when he heard the man's intention, after all, he had a request.

Before Xiao Er could reply, the man immediately refused: "No need, thank you Li Shaoxia, but the fire refining master hopes that Li Shaoxia can rush over as soon as possible, I heard that it is related to Li Shaoxia's weapon, so if Li Shaoxia is convenient, it is better to follow me to the City Lord's Mansion now!"

As soon as he heard that his weapon was involved, Li Mubai was worried, quickly closed the door, and urged: "I'm free now, let's go quickly." ”

It can't be that there are no casting knives and all the materials are scrapped, right?

"So much for the best. ”

The two of them rushed to the City Lord's Mansion as fast as they could, and under the leadership of the man, they came to the place where they had last seen the Fire Refining Master.

As soon as he saw the two of them, he hurriedly greeted them, and said with anxiety: "You guys are here, the fire refining master is already urging, hurry up and follow me." ”

Li Mubai didn't talk nonsense, and immediately followed. The man led the way in front, pushed open a stone door, and a heat wave hit his face, and Li Mubai felt that the temperature was much higher in an instant. The man didn't enter, but said to Li Mubai: "Li Shaoxia, I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you!" Li Mubai responded politely.

Then I also entered it, only to see that it was empty, only a two-meter-square hole in the middle like a well, and when I walked in, it turned out to be an entrance to the underground. As the leader of the road progressed deeper, the temperature became higher and higher. Oil lamps are hung on the left and right walls of the passage, and with the help of the lights, it can be seen that this is a natural formation, except for the ground under your feet, there are only a few traces of human repair.

After walking for a while, about more than 100 meters, Li Mubai could see a light in front of him. As soon as I left the passage, there was a large open space with only some tools used for smelting and more than twenty men with naked upper bodies. At the moment they did not smelt, but in a half-circle, there to watch something.

The person who led the way separated the crowd and shouted, "Get out of the way, the person who the fire refining master is looking for is here." ”

Hearing the man's words, the crowd brushed out of the way and looked at the person Li Mubai, the fire refining master was looking for.

To be honest, being stared at tightly by so many burly men, Li Mubai felt a little pressured and a little hairy in his heart.

"Hurry up!" the man turned around and saw that Li Mubai was actually slow, and urged.

"Good. Li Mubai didn't look at these men, and walked over quickly.

"You're here, come here. When the Fire Refining Master saw Li Mubai, he immediately motioned for him to come closer.

"Do you see the knife in the furnace?" said the Fire Refining Master as he pointed to the furnace and said to Li Mubai.

"See. Li Mubai was a little puzzled as to what the Fire Refining Master meant by asking this, but he still answered honestly.

The Fire Refining Master said, "This is the sword I forged for you, but it's not finished yet. ”

"Then what did you call me to do?" Li Mubai was even more puzzled.

Since the knife hasn't been cast yet, why are you looking for me?

Seeing Li Mubai's puzzled look, the fire refining master said directly: "The materials you gave me are very good, Burning Sun Xuanjing, Xuantie plus volcanic copper, plus my skills, this knife is by no means ordinary, if you have a chance, maybe you can become a spirit soldier, so I called you over, I want you to sacrifice the knife with blood, increase the connection between you and the knife, and increase the probability of it becoming a spirit soldier." In the future, as long as you keep using it, maybe one day it will be promoted to spirit soldier. ”

When Li Mubai heard the Fire Refining Master's explanation, he understood the reason, and said very gratefully: "Fire Refining Master, thank you very much, you and I are not related to each other, but you help me so much, I don't know how to thank you!"

The Fire Refining Master waved his hand: "I'm not helping you, every weapon I forge is like my child, I just hope they can be better, I hope you don't let it down." ”

"I will never dishonor it, and I will definitely take it with me to make a name for myself. Li Mubai solemnly assured.

"Okay!" the Fire Refining Master nodded, "I hope you can really do it, prepare now, and you must be quick when I call you a blood sacrifice." ”

"Good. ”

The Fire Refining Master pressed his hand on the stove, and the furnace fire became more ferocious, and the color gradually changed to blue.

When the furnace fire turned completely cyan, the fire refining master shouted: "It's now!"

Li Mubai immediately took the knife and slashed it on the palm of his hand, forcing the blood to the knife in the furnace with his true qi. The blood entered the furnace, and the master of fire refining did not know how to make the blood not evaporate, but directly integrated into the knife.

"That's it. The Fire Refining Master said.

Li Mubai withdrew his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, he released so much blood at once, he felt dizzy, and his face turned a lot paler, but fortunately, as a person who practices martial arts, he is in good health, and he can recover in a few days after cultivation.

The Fire Refining Master continued to control the furnace fire, calcining the knife, and his head was already covered with sweat, which was obviously not easy. After a long while, the fire refining master took his hand away and opened his palm to the knife in the furnace, only to see that the knife was actually sucked out and put into the stone jar that had been prepared long ago. I don't know what kind of liquid is in the stone jar, and after the knife enters, a large amount of steam fills the air, and the knife has cooled.

The Fire Refining Master took the knife out of the stone jar and examined it carefully. The knife is more than three feet long, the blade is red, transparent as jade, about four fingers wide, slightly curved, the handle is about half a foot, the end is the dragon's head, the place where it is held is the dragon's body, and the dragon's tail is coiled into a handguard.

"Here you go. The Fire Refining Master handed the knife to Li Mubai, and then said: "This knife doesn't need to be sharpened, he has a sharp edge when it is calcined, which is also the basis for me to think it can become a spirit soldier." Now that it's yours, you name it!"

Li Mubai held the knife, and there was a feeling of blood connection, very cordial, he pondered for a while, and said: "Since it has a sharp edge and a red blade, it might as well be called blood!"

"That's right, then let's call it Blood!" the Fire Refining Master bowed slightly.

The Fire Refining Master seemed to have thought of something, rummaged through it, handed it to something, and said, "This scabbard should be suitable for you." ”

Li Mubai inserted the knife into the sheath, just right, and thanked, "Thank you, Master Fire Refining." ”

"Alright, now that the sword has been cast, you can leave!" the Fire Refining Master waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

Li Mubai said knowingly: "Thank you so much this time, master, I will leave first, and there will be a period later!"

The Fire Refining Master didn't speak, and waved his hand again.

Li Mubai returned the same way, came to the ground, and saw the man who had been waiting outside the door.

"I'm really bothering you. Li Mubai said apologetically.

The man said indifferently: "This is what I should have done, Li Shaoxia doesn't have to be so polite." ”

The man led Li Mubai out of the City Lord's Mansion and said to Li Mubai: "Li Shaoxia, I won't send you, you go slowly." ”

"Thank you. Li Mubai clenched his fists and saluted.

Back at the inn, Li Mubai plucked out the blood, looked at it carefully, and remembered that in his previous life, he said that the magic weapons generally said that they would blow hair and break hair, sharpen iron like mud, etc., so he pulled out a hair, put it on the blade, and blew lightly, but it was really broken.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure knife, and if you fight with people in the future, you won't have to worry about weapons. Li Mubai was overjoyed.

Li Mubai entered the martial arts space, held the blood mang, and began to practice the knife technique, and found that the transmission of true qi to the blade was not only not lost, but more powerful, and the use of various moves was also more handy, such as the arm and fingers.

"With the blood, my strength has increased by at least two percent, no wonder the people in the martial arts are not only chasing the magic book is a divine weapon, but it is really too much to improve the strength. The blood is only at the level of a sharp weapon, and I don't know what kind of power the spirit soldiers and divine weapons above it have, which makes people look forward to it. I knew that I would choose weapons when I designated the lottery before, and maybe I could draw more powerful weapons. Li Mubai thought nonsense.

After a while, Li Mubai reacted: "Why do I always think about using foreign objects, but the temptation of getting something for nothing is really great, anyone who has worked hard to practice martial arts for a long time is not as strong as the strength brought by a good weapon, and he will definitely pursue foreign things, but his own strength is fundamental, don't give up the basics, buy plants and return pearls." ”

Li Mubai introspected himself, he can't rely on external things, and being strong is fundamental, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't need it, it's stupid to have a magic weapon and not use it.
