Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 84 Divine Pattern Heavenly Casting and Colorful Dragon Scales

"Cheer up, everyone."

"It will almost become an embryo tonight."

Shijun Mountain, deep in the Earth Dragon Fire Cave.

Li Shuguo, who was shirtless, held a pipe in his mouth, looked back and forth like an eagle, and shouted loudly from time to time.

In front of him stood two steel-making furnaces three to four meters high.

The raging underground fire melted the ore, secret gold, tin, nickel and other materials in the furnace into a furnace of molten iron.

As for the guys from the Chen family, they were similar to him. They were either shirtless or rolled up their sleeves, holding hammers and forging hard.

Although only six or seven days have passed since the discovery of this fire cave.

But it is completely different from before.

Not to mention a plank road was carved out of the rock wall.

In the tiankeng at the rear, an underground cave of nearly 100 square meters was also dug out, and a palace building with double eaves resting on the mountain was built.

In addition to placing the materials for forging swords.

It can also provide them with a rest.

At first, the Chen family's guys were a little unbearable.

But over time.

In addition, the work of blacksmithing seems simple, but in fact it is extremely tiring.

After a long day of work.

Not to mention having a bed, bedding and mattress, I can fall asleep immediately even in a ditch.

Although it was hot in the fire cave, it was precisely because the fire was amazing.

There are hardly many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in Shijun Mountain, not even the shadow of mosquitoes.

Guys in their twenties.

Plus Li Shuguo.

Burn the furnace to make steel, then beat it, and continue to melt the water back into the furnace.

Over and over again, day and night.

Under such busyness, the process of sword forging is also accelerating.

At least it was much faster than the usual three days of fishing and two days of drying nets on Fengwo Mountain.

but.

Li Shuguo didn't complain a word.

If he was extremely resistant when the Chen family man came to the mountain, it was simply because of the situation and his helplessness.

But now, he only has one thought in his mind.

That is to forge the sword as soon as possible.

To this end, he devoted almost all his attention to it.

That section of more than 30 kilograms of secret gold has been tempered no less than thousands of times.

Not only that.

He also looked through the weapons manual.

Ferrite ore, tin ore and nickel stone are mixed into the furnace. In this way, the forged sword can be soft but not brittle, strong but not broken, unstoppable, capable of cutting jade and breaking iron.

"Shopkeeper Li, come and see if it's done?"

A pack of cigarettes.

Just when Li Shuguo was still thinking about how to integrate the demon tendons into the embryo.

Suddenly the guys' exclamations came from the distance.

He pulled off the cigarette rod with a snap, hung it around his waist, and strode towards the forge.

Not long after.

When he walked to the iron pier, he looked down at the iron embryo that had been tempered for thousands of times by the light of the stove.

It is different from the original color that was first brought back.

At this moment, the iron embryo actually reflects light and shadow like a rainbow version. At the same time, the patterns appear to be naturally made, shaped like dragon scales, making it look somewhat astonishingly mysterious.

See this scene.

Even though Li Shuguo had forged countless weapons in his life, his lips could not help but tremble.

"The color is like a rainbow, flowing colors, and the shape is like dragon patterns and dragon scales!"

"Grandma, can I see such a miracle in this life?"

Seeing him laughing and scolding.

The Chen family guy next to him couldn't help but be confused.

I don't know whether it is good or bad.

During this time, in addition to eating and sleeping, the thirty or so people were hammering iron rods in their dreams.

They don't know how to forge weapons, and they only have strength. Anyway, they do whatever shopkeeper Li tells them.

So many days have passed.

There were originally more than thirty kilograms of secret gold, but now there are only about ten kilograms left.

The impurities are visible to the naked eye.

The whole piece of secret gold is transparent inside and out, like a fire jade.

"Liucai, Hanzhang, Lingbao, dragon scales, turtle back, starry sky, dripping water, these damn patterns are the rarest in ancient swords, and they are known as the divine patterns."

See a bunch of people so ignorant.

Li Shuguo explained with a grin.

Seven major ornaments.

Now there are two lines on this sword embryo.

You must know that the ancients believed that patterns were divinely determined and had no rules, so even the most skilled weapon refiners could not guarantee that they could cast patterns like dragon scales and turtle backs.

"This……"

"That means telling good things?"

"Nonsense, this name sounds a lot like both rainbow and dragon scales."

"It's worth working hard during this time."

With his endorsement, the anxious hearts of a group of waiters finally settled back into their stomachs with relief.

All of them were smiling happily, with longing written all over their faces.

Although it's only the first step.

But it’s off to such a good start.

When the day comes when the long sword comes out of the furnace, there will be no white rainbow piercing the sun, and the sword energy filling the sky?

What's the point.

The shopkeeper spent so much time searching for fire and sending people to Hanyang to retrieve the secret gold.

The person invited is the contemporary mountain owner of Honeycomb Mountain again.

You can even guess with your toes how much importance he attaches to this sword forging?

If only a peerless sword were forged.

It is true that shopkeeper Li is the number one contributor.

But these people, without any merit, still have to work hard, so they can still get some soup to drink.

Everyone in Zhuangzi knows this.

The shopkeeper is generous and never stingy.

Maybe when you are happy, you can reward one person with ten or eight yuan, which is not more comfortable than fighting life and death with your head hanging on the waistband of your pants?

The more I think about it, the more excited I am.

The smile on his face couldn't be hidden at all.

"What are you still doing?"

"Turn on the furnace!"

Li Shuguo's mood was also extremely agitated.

This has not been integrated into the inner muscles of the great demon, but the sword embryo alone is so amazing.

Even he couldn't imagine what level the Han Sword would reach after it was released.

Don't dare to delay.

I saw him wave his hand, and the sound was like a big bell, echoing around the fire cave.

A bunch of guys responded to the call.

It was as if I had been given a shot of chicken blood and started to get busy.

There is no feeling of sadness.

Two strong and agile men stepped on the wooden ladder and quickly climbed up the stone wall, one on the left and the other on the right, and soon passed the furnace that had been sealed for smelting.

Keep your posture steady.

He raised the iron hook with both hands and worked together to lift the furnace lid.

boom!

In an instant.

The furnace, which had been burning for six or seven days, was like an iron flower, with heat waves and flames rising into the sky.

Once more than ten meters away.

The temperature above the sinkhole is much lower than in the steel-making furnace.

The fires that spread all over the sky were extinguished quickly, and only a few of them were still rising slowly on the wind, and finally floated out of the main peak of Shijun Mountain.

Like fireflies in the night.

Twinkle and twinkle.

And deep in the sinkhole.

After the fire light dissipated, looking at the furnace of molten iron, the workers around could not help but roar.

Li Shuguo, who was standing in the crowd with his hands behind his back, also let out a long breath.

This pot of water was much better than he expected.

The advantages of earth fire were perfectly demonstrated at this time.

The ground fire on Yuhua Mountain was only about twenty feet tall, but it was already considered a big fire.

It is enough for forging ordinary weapons.

Forging big monsters and fierce soldiers seems to be much weaker.

"The sword embryo still has inner tendons."

"Then, shut down the furnace and smelt for three days!"

Li Shuguo shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to remind the guys to do things in an orderly manner.

The demon tendon was split into two by him.

It didn't look as shocking as before, but the moment it was taken out of the jade box, the surging demonic energy still caused the raging fire to shake a few times.

Guys who can be sent here.

They are all absolute confidants.

Several generations from top to bottom have been working in the Chen family.

Although they were shocked by the length of the inner tendon, everyone looked calm and did not cause any noise or panic.

Sword embryo, inner tendons.

As soon as he entered the furnace, he was instantly swallowed by the molten iron.

Without any hesitation, the two men quickly resealed the furnace lid.

Feel the heat wave dissipate instantly.

Li Shuguo finally calmed down. He took out the cigarette rod again, tapped it on his heel a few times, and smoked slowly.

"Okay, let's go and have a rest."

"I'll just watch from here."

Upon hearing this, the guys who had been busy day and night for several days finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on his face.

He cupped his hands and then strode towards the palace building in the cave behind him.

A bunch of people were exhausted both mentally and physically.

Li Shuguo, who had also stayed up for a few nights, felt more energetic than usual.

A few days ago, he had someone send a letter back to the mountain.

No matter what, it can at least let his family know about his situation, and it can also reassure the apprentices and craftsmen, so that they won't be distracted by this matter.

"It takes six days to embroider and three days to fuse, that's nine days."

"Then... when only the green and white air is left in the furnace, the sword can be forged."

"Casting, quenching, tempering, grinding, sharpening, and shaping, six or seven days is enough."

Exhaled smoke.

Li Shuguo secretly counted the time.

On the day he set up the steel-making furnace, he issued a military order, saying that within ten days or at most half a month, the big monster and the fierce soldiers would be ready.

It seems now.

The time should be just right.

In the diffuse smoke, there was only a hint of expectant smile on his always stern face.

Wait until a pack of cigarettes is finished.

Li Shuguo finally felt a little sleepy.

He raised his head and looked outside the mountain.

The originally dark sky was already covered with a hint of fish belly white.

But the full moon hadn't completely set yet, like a silver plate hanging halfway up the mountain.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Shuguo looked at the steel-making furnace in front of him again.

At this moment, the boiling drums in the furnace continued, and wisps of black smoke filled the air.

"almost……"

He murmured softly.

Without hesitation, he carried the tobacco pole and wandered towards the palace building.

Push open the door.

Such a short effort.

Snoring could be heard all over the bunk bed.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He didn't disturb them and walked towards his bed.

Shi Junshan fell into a deep sleep.

Changsheng Building in Xiantanling.

A south-facing window on the second floor was also slowly pushed open.

In the window, a face in his prime was reflected, as if he had just woken up, with a look of sleepiness and laziness in his eyes.

"The rising sun is born."

“Visualize inside and outside.”

"It's time to get up and practice."

The red girl blinked and said to herself playfully.

Only when a person is alone, her inadvertent expression of youthfulness will make people realize that she is still a young girl.

However, he was carrying too much hatred and pain.

Let her be as cold as ice all the time.

Awe-inspiring.

He subconsciously ignored her age.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed since the last time the shopkeeper came to the mountain to guide her in her practice.

The red girl never dared to relax in the slightest.

Visualize once in the morning and once in the evening.

Absolutely unprecedented seriousness.

She closed the window and returned to the room. She washed briefly and put on a coat and skirt.

Go downstairs and head straight to the back mountain.

half year ago.

Miss Hong didn't quite understand why the shopkeeper was always in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, staying there for a day or even several days.

Now, she finally realized it later.

At that time, it was clear that his Taoist practice had reached a critical stage.

This can also be explained.

Why does the owner of the ancient raccoon monument outside Yizhuang have the ability to slay demons?

And why would the leader of the mountain-moving partridge whistle be so amazed?

but……

Past events come to mind.

It didn't make her have other ideas, but it only motivated her to move forward.

The shopkeeper is so capable.

They can calm down their minds and practice wholeheartedly.

I haven't even reached the threshold yet, so I should work ten times a hundred times.

Unknowingly.

She had already reached the depths of the bamboo sea.

This area of ​​deep silence, with no one to disturb you, is most suitable for meditation.

Sit cross-legged on the ground.

Miss Hong took a deep breath, got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to fall into concentration little by little.

The bamboo leaves rustled outside, the breeze blew on my face, and in the blue sky, a rising sun broke through the mist and slowly rose.

Bask in the warm sunshine.

I saw that her expression quickly became clear and peaceful.

A pair of eyes as clear as water, reflecting the rising sun, the bamboo sea, the mountains, and the dewdrops one by one, with distinct colors.

When the shopkeeper left that day.

She once told her to watch the sun rise in the morning and watch the moon rise at night, and contemplate carefully so that she can achieve a state of transparency and integration inside and outside.

now.

Her aura was clearly approaching that scene.

"call--"

Wait until the sun is halfway up in the sky.

The light also changed from warm to hot.

The red girl also opened her eyes.

"Finally...I entered samadhi in three minutes."

She took a gentle breath, looked at the bamboo leaves falling in the air, and murmured in a low voice.

three minutes.

It still seems very long.

But for her, it was a huge improvement.

You know, that day in Changsheng Tower, it took her half an hour to get into meditation.

Visualizing the sun and the moon these days is equivalent to shortening time several times.

Thinking of this, her moonlit face couldn't help but reveal a hint of expectation.

Once you enter thirty breaths.

Then you can truly practice Xuan Dao Convincing Qi and Building the Foundation.

She traveled extensively with her family's opera troupe since she was a child. In order to protect herself, she started practicing martial arts at a very young age.

But secular martial arts are ultimately not as good as Taoist methods.

The former trains his body in order to kill and achieve perfection.

The other is to eliminate the false and preserve the true, pursuing physical detachment, spiritual connection, and eternal soul.

What's more, the Foundation Building Technique is inherited from the Yinxian Sect. Once you enter the Qi Refining Pass, you have crossed the Dragon Gate.

Thinking all the way.

The red girl casually admired the mountain scenery.

Almost half an hour later, I returned to Changsheng Tower.

but……

Not yet entered the village.

Far away from the martial arts arena under the shade of a tree, a guy came up to meet him.

"Red Boss, just now a brother from Zhuangzi came to report that Mr. Guai has returned from the provincial capital. The shopkeeper asked you to come over."

"The kidnapper is back?"

Hear this.

The red girl's eyes couldn't help but light up.

During this period of time, Huama went to the provincial capital to buy gold and jade artifacts, and he was gone for half a month.

Chen Yulou turned his back on the shopkeeper again.

All the matters on the mountain, big and small, fell on her.

To be honest, she really had no experience in these matters. She was fine with small matters. When encountering big and difficult matters, she would call people over to discuss them together.

But the kidnapper is astute and is best at balancing things.

No matter how difficult the problem is, it can be easily solved.

It can also make everyone convinced.

"okay, I get it."

"Go back first, I'll be there right away."

With a wave of his hand, he sent the messenger away.

Miss Hong obviously felt that the burden on her shoulders had been reduced, and she felt much more relaxed.

Hands behind his back, he opened the door and entered the village with a smile.

Went back to the room and took a comfortable hot bath.

I just changed into a long skirt.

Ride down the mountain and rush to Chenjiazhuang!

　Thanks to Feng Fenglan, Qiulian, and the three young masters of Luzhou for the rewards, as well as all the bosses for their monthly support. I love you so much.
