Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 937 Magic Weapon
Laojun moves the hammer himself

For this sentence, Shang Tianjun now has to swing the hammer himself.

200 freshly refined sword pills that were still warm were placed in front of him, waiting for him to consecrate them.

This is a culmination of alchemy and alchemy. It not only surpasses the old-style phlogiston submarines in all aspects, but is also a revolutionary and advanced weapon for the Jinyiwei.

Because there were no magical instruments before.

Although the concept of "magic weapon" is deeply ingrained in the common consciousness of all cultivators, in fact, magic weapon was not that common before this.

The reason why people have this kind of awareness is mainly because the ancient novels about gods and demons and the modern novels about cultivating immortals all take "magic tools" for granted. Influenced by popular culture, even many Qigong practitioners think that they can get a magic tool after they enter the sect.

However, in the Dao League, whether it is the Dan Ding Sect, Taiji Sect, Shen Xiao Sect, or Xuan Zhen Sect, they don’t actually use magic weapons. Even the Jian Xian Sect doesn’t use them. Although the Jian Xian Sect uses swords, the swords of the Jian Xian Sect are generally not concrete swords. Just like the Dan Ding Sect has inner alchemy, the Jian Xian Sect generally practices "inner sword".

Moreover, even if it is a sword, it can only be regarded as a weapon, not a magic instrument or a magic weapon. As a weapon, it is an extension of the hand, a tool used by people. However, a magic instrument or a magic weapon is not like that. It is not an extension of a person, but can "carry" a person.

Although magic tools do exist, if someone obtains a magic tool, such as a small green pot or a small bronze ring, this magic tool is a true Dao opportunity, and it is not impossible to ascend to an extraordinary realm through it.

However, so far, Shangluo has not seen anyone publicly declare that he owns a specific magical weapon, even though his relationship with many monks has become quite close.

Shangluo thought that Fu Yuanshan probably had some unknown magical tools hidden, because his cultivation was really hard to figure out. Although he always said "the way of good fortune", he didn't know where he would go to get some extra food.

Furthermore, his mobility was too terrifying. Even though he was also a celestial being, Shang Luo felt that he was sometimes ridiculously fast. He was clearly in the capital not long ago, but now he was suddenly in Qingcheng Mountain in the southwest, and he brought someone with him.

[Maybe I can get something out of Xiao Han later.]

“Maybe.” Shangluo nodded, “Maybe he really has some magic weapon hidden—but things will be different later. Because the court is really going to issue a magic weapon now!”

This sword pill is a magic weapon. Different from the weapons and clothing issued by the Jinyiwei before, it is not just an "extension of the arm" used by the cultivators to perform their cultivation, but a magic weapon that can fundamentally boost the strength of the cultivators.

If you can use this sword pill freely, you can cast spells.

As long as one can cast spells, no matter what the degree or proficiency is, it means that one has reached the top level of the Qi training stage - it can even be said that one has touched the edge of the foundation building stage.

Because the most significant feature of the foundation-building period is that you can truly cast spells that can affect the outside world. You can truly use your own spells to change the world.

In the past, if one wanted to reach this level, one had to truly reach the foundation-building stage or take precious elixirs to achieve it.

Now, the newly-made sword pill can directly help its user cast spells - in a sense, it doesn't even need a skilled Qigong practitioner like Jinyiwei to cast it. As long as you can adapt, even a mortal can come and try.

Compared to weapons, magical instruments like Jiandan are more like vehicles. The role of the driver is to issue instructions, and the magical instrument will execute the driver's wishes according to the instructions. Both weapons and magical instruments release power. The source of power for weapons is the warrior, while the source of power for magical instruments is the warrior itself. This is indeed a revolutionary progress. Because as long as this power is mastered, the original order of "heaven-mortal" will be broken.

Even a superman like Fu Yuanshan, who can travel a thousand miles a day, cannot do whatever he wants in front of the Heavenly Court - and this is what Shangluo wants to prove.

"Then let me try it first." Shangluo took out the small hammer that he had not used for a long time.

This hammer had been with him for many years. Before he started his "adventure", he spent his childhood thinking about this hammer and using it to think about other things, including Apollonia. After he started his adventure, the hammer had not been taken out for a long time, except for being used to threaten Apollonia from time to time.

Because it was just an ordinary hammer. According to the two categories of weapons and magic tools, this hammer was just an ordinary weapon for Shangluo, and it was far from being a magic tool. For Shangluo, the typical object that could be called a "magic tool" was the hunting knife, which truly contained a power that did not belong to Shangluo himself.

But now, this small hammer is enough, and it is just right. Because what Shangluo needs now is a medium that can convey his will.

At times like these, a handy little hammer is more useful than a bunch of magical weapons stolen from Rome.

After flexing his fingers, he started working.

He found a vise, which is the most basic tool for benchwork. He placed the sword pill using the clamp on the vise, and began to rotate the handle to clamp it.

"By the way." Shangluo suddenly asked Phaethon, "What is the hardness of this sword pill?"

"hardness?"

"Yes." Mr. Luo, a professional vise operator, spoke up. "If you don't tell me the hardness, how can I put the clamp on? It's a small matter if the vise breaks, but it's a big problem if the pill breaks. Is the hardness of this sword pill the hardness of gold? Or is it the extraordinary hardness that the divine metal should have?"

"Ah, this... I really don't know." Phaethon had never worked in this field before. "But it seems to be quite hard to the touch."

"What do you mean by 'very hard to the touch'? Forget it, I'll try it myself." He didn't expect to get any professional advice from Phaethon. Phaethon was a professional warrior, not a professional craftsman.

As for Shangluo himself, although he couldn't boast that he was a master craftsman, what he did now generally had nothing to do with combat.

Since he could not get any results from Phaethon, he had to try it himself. He was very good at it.

Hardness refers to the mechanical indentation resistance of a material (specimen) to another harder object (indenter).

So we can just use a hardness tester to measure it. The specific method is to press it to see to what extent this golden pill can resist the pressure of the pressure head.
