When Tianhe returned to the bamboo forest with two buckets of water, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw the brothers and sisters densely packed in front of the thatched house.
He is just an unknown swordsmith, and all he wants to cast is a sharp weapon, but looking at that scene, it is as grand as if a famous swordsmith is about to forge a peerless sword.
"You're the thief who stole the Dao Hidden Immortal Sutra?"
As soon as he entered the gate, he was greeted by a tall man with a sword in his right hand, his hands around his chest, looking down at Tianhe with condescending eyes: "Sword casting is a sacred art, and it cannot be tarnished by a thief, so stop immediately!"
"That's it, a kid from a poor country, who thinks that after a few days in the blacksmith shop, he will know how to forge a sword, and he won't pee and take pictures, just your honor, how can you look like a swordsmith!"
"Hehe, I think he is unwilling to be killed in three days, so he wants to show his value in a different way, hoping to attract the attention of all real people, so as to leave a small life!"
Tianhe didn't know the identities of those people, but he felt a strong malice from them, and he didn't understand that he just wanted to forge the last sword in the last days of his life, where did he provoke them.
"Get out of the way!"
Tianhe was too lazy to quarrel with them, and every minute and second of it was extremely precious to him now.
"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have, dare to talk to Senior Brother Xugu like this, do you still have a little bit of the courtesy of the elders and children of the master in your eyes, the difference between the upper and lower levels of respect and inferiority!"
"Boy, if you know a little better, you can live for three days, if you dare to mess around, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
Tianhe stopped, and looked at the Xugu Senior Brother with burning eyes, the disciples of the Xuzi generation in the Jade Void Palace are all personal disciples, I heard that there are less than a hundred people now, and they are all geniuses with unspeakable talents, they rarely show up in Kunlun Mountain, because compared to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land where they practice, the pure qi of Kunlun Mountain can only be described as cold.
There are thirty-six caves in the world, seventy-two blessed lands, all of which are among the famous peaks and fairy mountains, Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains, and the emperor of heaven is in the capital of the nether realm, how can he not have his own cave heaven blessed land, but the jade void palace is powerful, and it is difficult for outsiders to peek into the virtual reality.
That Senior Brother Xugu came out of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land with great fanfare, and specially came to meet him, a nobody, what was his intention?
"Qinghe. ”
Carrying a package in his arms, Qing Halal walked over a little timidly, and whispered in Tianhe's ear: "Since Qingyi arranged the procurement of weapons for the Yuxu Palace, all the weapons came from the family of Senior Brother Xugu, and the top-grade weapon in Qingding was cast by Senior Brother Xugu himself, and it was precisely because Senior Brother Xugu had good sword-casting skills that he was looked at differently by Yuxuan Zhenren and accepted into the door. ”
It turned out to be a competitor!
Hearing what Qing Halal said, Tianhe immediately understood the strange thing, if the sharp weapon he forged was better than Qing Ding's sword, then it would be equivalent to smashing the signboard of this Xugu senior brother, and at the same time, the disciples of the Jade Void Palace would no longer buy the sword from Qing Yi, and the family behind Xugu would suffer a huge loss.
Smashing people's jobs is tantamount to killing their parents, no wonder this Xugu Senior Brother will kill the door with great momentum.
It's a pity that Tianhe can back down on anything, only in the matter of forging swords, he sees it as more important than his own life, and there will never be the slightest ambiguity, so today's Liangzi, even if he doesn't want to, has to take it silently.
"Bring it!"
With a void move in his right hand, Xugu immediately took the package in Qinghal's arms into his hand and opened it in front of everyone.
After carefully looking at the ore materials in the baggage, Xuming seemed to let go of the burden in his heart, let out a long sigh, and threw the burden to Qinghal, facing Tianhe Road: "Since you want to challenge my Nangong family beyond your strength, then I will give you a chance, and two days later, use the broken sword you forged to compete with the Fire Raven Sword in Qingding's hand."
When the time comes, you will understand that not everyone can engage in the noble art of sword casting, nor can a casual blacksmith shop be called a sword-forging family!"
"Some people are like this, they always can't understand how many pounds and taels they have, they have to fall and bleed and be embarrassed to see the reality, for this kind of person, I don't mind letting him wake up early, haha......"
As if he was sure that he would win, Xugu turned around and strode away from the bamboo forest, leaving a series of insolent laughter echoing faintly on the Purple Bamboo Peak.
Tianhe looked at the back of the Void Valley that was gradually moving away, and muttered to himself: "Nangong family, could it be the Nangong family, a famous sword-casting family known as the only production place of famous swords?"
"What, are you scared!"
Today's movement was so loud that the seriously injured Qingyi walked out of the thatched house with a cane, and said happily: "The twenty-second on the list of famous swords, the forty-first famous swords are all cast by Nangong Ying, the head of the Nangong family, as Nangong Ying's personal son, Senior Brother Xugu's sword-casting skills are naturally beyond doubt, it's ridiculous that you are shameless and self-righteous to challenge him." Hehe, I just didn't know that the broken sword you forged could last a few moves under the Fire Raven Sword!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a burst of mockery to make fun of Tianhe, and it was obvious that the real purpose of those people coming here was not to be interested in swordsmithing, but to curry favor with Bajie Xugu.
"Senior Brother Halal, what materials have you prepared?"
Tianhe had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and calmly opened the package in Qinghal's arms, counting the raw materials in it: "Cryolite, bronze sand, coral horn, medium-grade spirit stone...... , medium-grade spirit stones!"
When he saw the medium-grade spirit stone, Tianhe's voice couldn't help but increase, and he understood why Xugu suddenly became confident, it turned out that he saw this medium-grade spirit stone.
Different ore raw materials determine the essence of the weapon, and different spirit stones determine the grade that the weapon can achieve, just as the materials collected by the halal can only cast a sharp weapon, and the medium-grade spirit stone determines the strongest height that this sharp weapon can achieve for the medium grade, of course, it also depends on the ability of the swordsmith, if the ability is not good, it is also a blessing to be able to cast a low-grade weapon, which is the reason why Xugu left after seeing it.
This competition, before it started, had already lost first!
"That, Qinghe, I'm sorry, senior brother, my ability is limited, the high-grade spirit stone is too difficult to find, it took me two years to find this medium-grade spirit stone. ”
Qing Halal said weakly: "Qinghe, we don't have to be angry with that group of people, let's ignore them in the competition in two days, anyway, as long as the medium-grade weapons you cast can beat the other medium-grade weapons of the Nangong family, everyone will also give you a thumbs up at that time!"
"No, since I agreed to the competition in two days, there is no reason to miss the contract, and I will never do anything treacherous!"
Tianhe said enthusiastically: "The grade of the weapon is important, but its material also has a decisive role, I have seen the Fire Raven Sword, and I already know the material of his seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, these materials of yours are above him, even if it is a medium-grade weapon, there is still hope of surpassing him in the end!"
"Hey, hey, idiot dreaming!"
Qingyi raised his head, pointed his nostrils at Tianhe, and sneered: "If you want to touch the stone with an egg, some people are born cheap, and they don't know how to turn back until they hit their heads on the south wall and break the bloodstream!"
