Evergreen Immortal.

Outside the city, on the official road, a carriage was moving slowly.

A voice came from the carriage:

"Stop here."

The groom heard this and tightened the reins. The horse sighed and stopped.

The curtain was lifted.

Gao Zhen walked out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and told the groom: "Drive the carriage to the woods, hide it, and wait for me."

"Yes!"

The groom was his confidant from the Gao family. Gao Zhen would only bring him when he did something that was inconvenient for others to know.

After Gao Zhen finished speaking, he walked straight into the woods beside the official road.

As a sixth-rank garrison, he could at least travel with four horses to lead the way. Such a low profile must have other hidden reasons.

Gao Zhen calmly crossed the thorns in the bushes.

A moment later.

He came to a deep pine forest.

Looking at the figure standing in the darkness, he smiled: "Brother."

The black-clothed man in the pine forest slowly turned around, his thin and dry lips slightly raised, looking even more scathing:

"Brother, long time no see."

Four-armed demon, Wu Yun.

Gao Zhen: "Thank you, brother, for coming all the way to help."

Wu Yun laughed: "Not only am I here, Brother Five has also come to Qinghe."

"Brother Five is here too?"

Gao Zhen was really happy this time.

There are twelve blood disciples under the Blood Shadow Patriarch. The number twelve is based on the order of entrance, not combat power.

Just like Gao Zhen is ranked last, but his strength is not the worst.

Among the twelve blood disciples, the lowest realm is Wu Yun, the peak of the seventh rank.

I heard that it has been more than ten years because of the practice.

Gao Zhen worshipped the Blood Shadow Patriarch for resources.

There is no master-disciple relationship to speak of.

He was even more indifferent to the so-called senior brothers like the twelve blood disciples.

He was not very happy when he received Wu Yun's secret letter. After all, no matter how powerful Wu Yun was, he was only a seventh-grade one and could not help him much.

But the fifth senior brother was different.

He was a strong man who had passed through Longmen for more than ten years, and Gao Zhen did not know that he was his opponent.

With his help, he might be able to kill Ning Zhongtian in one fell swoop and complete the task of the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

Maybe the Blood Shadow Ancestor would be happy and give him another wisp of immortal energy.

"Immortal energy."

Gao Zhen's heart became even hotter when he thought of the immortal energy.

Even his senior brothers did not know about this.

It was because of his special identity that he was a hidden man carefully cultivated by the Ghost Nether Sect and planted in the court of the Yu Kingdom that the Blood Shadow Ancestor made an exception and gave him a wisp of immortal energy.

When he left Luyang and rushed to Qinghe.

The Blood Shadow Ancestor promised that as long as he could complete the task more beautifully, the Immortal Venerable would give him another wisp of immortal energy.

Gao Zhen can truly experience the power of immortal energy.

What does it mean to turn decay into magic?

He knows that there is no immortal method in the Ghost and Nether Sect. It is just to put things into the immortal energy to warm them up, and then they become immortal treasures.

During this period of time, he used the immortal energy to warm himself, and even his bones became stronger.

Changing bones.

Just this point alone can drive many martial arts masters crazy.

Gao Zhen's ambition is not just to be a sixth-grade, he wants to be stronger.

He wants to step up to the highest power step by step.

There are too many geniuses in the Gao family of Luyang, so he knows very well that if it weren't for the large amount of resources accumulated by the Ghost and Nether Sect, he would not be able to make a name for himself in the Gao family with his talent.

So he is more urgent to improve his bones.

Only immortal energy in the world can do such a heaven-defying thing.

Thinking.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Kill!"

Li's house, backyard.

A huge furnace was burning, and the bellows were blowing air into the furnace.

The flames shot up to the sky.

Liang He was blowing the wind vigorously, while Liu Tiezhu was staring at the iron block in the big red furnace with a focused expression.

In order to cast soldiers.

He spent a lot of effort to turn the backyard into a blacksmith shop, with a blacksmith furnace, bellows, and anvils.

Generally speaking, casting soldiers is divided into three stages: heating, forging, and quenching.

But Liu Tiezhu was different this time.

The two stages of heating and forging were constantly repeated, and it has lasted for a whole month!

Spiritual iron also has different grades.

The black gold iron used before was the most common ninth-grade spiritual iron. This time was very different. Li Rui specially asked Ning Zhongtian for his relationship and exchanged two great merits for dragon elephant iron.

Sixth-grade spiritual iron!

A leapfrog existence.

Li Rui spent a lot of thought to get this six-grade spiritual iron of two catties and three taels.

At this time, the benefits of being able to do things well are reflected.

If he had not performed so well before, Ning Zhongtian would definitely not have been so busy helping out in exchange for the Dragon Elephant Iron.

Relationships must be cultivated bit by bit, and then they can gradually play a role.

Otherwise, you usually slack off and still want your boss to help you?

Where in the world can you find such a good thing.

Liu Tiezhu looked nervous and did not dare to miss any details in the furnace.

Because he knew that this piece of Dragon Elephant Iron was hard to come by, and he could not disappoint his master's expectations.

The best way to cast a weapon is to do it once, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced if it is sent back to the furnace.

"Good!"

He shouted in a low voice.

The iron tongs in his hand clamped the Dragon Elephant Iron out, and the hammer swung.

Dang, dang, dang!

The sound of blacksmithing sounded, and sparks flew.

Liu Tiezhu's muscles bulged all over his body, like a human-shaped beast, and the violent aesthetics filled the eyes.

After continuous polishing, the Dragon Elephant Iron finally took on the appearance of a knife blank.

Dragon-elephant iron is pure enough, with almost no impurities, and this step is simply to form it.

But this step alone is enough to stump most weapon forgers in the world.

To forge the sixth-grade divine iron, you need at least the strength of an eighth-grade warrior to do it, and you also need superb skills.

But here comes the problem.

If you have become an eighth-grade warrior, who would still be willing to do the work of a craftsman?

This leads to a very small number of high-level weapon forgers in the world.

Although Liu Tiezhu is only an entry-level warrior, he is born with a strong brute force, which is even more powerful than the average eighth-grade warrior.

Only then can the dragon-elephant iron be forged into shape.

But even with his strength, it took a full month.

It shows how difficult it is.

Liu Tiezhu whispered to Li Rui: "Master, fill it with air!"

Li Rui said nothing and patted Liu Tiezhu's back.

The next moment.

A wisp of green air was injected from Liu Tiezhu's palm into the dragon-elephant iron knife embryo.

The method of filling air!

As the green gas fell, lines appeared on the surface of the knife blank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally formed a double-winged Yinglong, which was lifelike and seemed to be flying into the sky.

Liu Tiezhu's eyes lit up:

"It's done!"

Originally, it was just a guess, but he didn't expect it to come true.

The Qi filling method is a technique that can only be used by a master of weapon casting with profound skills.

More importantly, in addition to the extremely high requirements for the technique, there is another point, that is, the weapon casting master himself must cultivate true qi.

Of course, it is impossible to do it with Liu Tiezhu's current realm.

So he took a different approach and used the Xuanqing Qi that Li Rui cultivated in his body to perform the Qi filling method.

"Sixth-grade spiritual iron should use this method!"

Liu Tiezhu was ecstatic, but he didn't dare to stop his movements.

He put the red blade of the knife blank into the monster blood that had been prepared long ago.

There was a sizzling sound.

The red blade touched the monster blood, and the monster blood boiled instantly.

Only three breaths.

Liu Tiezhu immediately picked up the knife blank, and then continued to hammer it. The whole set of movements was smooth and there was no pause.

Li Rui and Liang He watched from the side.

He nodded secretly in his heart: "It's a good blank for casting weapons."

Liu Tiezhu reached out and grabbed two short pieces of wood placed on the table.

It was used as the handle of the knife.

About two quarters of an hour later.

Liu Tiezhu then walked to Li Rui with the knife in his hand:

"Master, this knife is two feet and one inch long, weighs two pounds and three ounces, and is made of dragon-elephant iron. It can be called a top grade!"

He looked tired, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

For a weapon caster, it is a supreme honor to be able to forge such a magic weapon.

Sixth-grade magic weapon.

This is a weapon that only Longmen Realm warriors can afford!

The key is that he really used the air-filling method, which made him difficult to calm down.

Only a weapon caster can understand the significance of using the air-filling method before the willow tendons are full.

"If it's not willow tendons, you can't use the air injection method."

This is what he once heard from a weapon casting master from Anning Prefecture in the official blacksmith shop.

But he broke this iron rule.

And this is all thanks to Li Rui's unique true qi.

Ordinary warriors can't leave their true qi and temporarily store it in other people's bodies.

Li Rui took the barrier knife from Liu Tiezhu.

As soon as he got it, it seemed that he could have a telepathic connection with the knife, and every detail of the blade could perfectly fit him.

"Good knife!"

The eyes lit up.

He took a deep breath, chopped, cut, swept, and the man and the knife became one.

The barrier knife swept across the boulder on the side.

It was like the tip of the knife was crossing the water, without any obstruction, and the boulder was split into two.

"Fuck!"

Liang He burst into swear words when he saw it.

The scene just now was so smooth that if he hadn't often practiced boxing on that stone, he would have thought that the boulder was fake.

What a hair can be cut, iron can be cut like mud.

They are weak in front of this knife.

Li Rui raised his mouth. In addition to being sharp, this knife has another advantage, that is, it is short and small.

You don't even need to carry it around your waist, you can hide it directly in your sleeve.

The sleeves of Yu State's clothes are wide, and others can't see that there is a knife hidden in the sleeve.

When fighting against others, you can definitely catch them by surprise.

Liu Tiezhu was very excited when he saw Li Rui cut off the boulder with one knife.

For a weapon caster, there is nothing more joyful than a good knife meeting a good master.

Li Rui put away the knife.

He patted Liu Tiezhu on the shoulder: "Tiezhu, you have worked hard."

This month, Liu Tiezhu spent almost all his time forging iron except for eating and sleeping.

He was able to cast a sixth-grade magic weapon at the ninth grade, which is inseparable from this perseverance.

If other weapon casters heard that a weapon would be beaten for a month, they would have given up long ago.

Liu Tiezhu smiled naively, then looked at Li Rui with expectant eyes: "Master, how about giving this knife a name?"

Li Rui chuckled.

With his temperament, he actually has no habit of naming dead things.

A knife is a knife.

As long as it is handy and can kill people, there is no need to name it.

But the apprentice Liu Tiezhu has put a lot of effort into this knife, so it must not be wasted.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly said:

"Let's call it. Cangfeng."

It's the end of the month, and I'm begging for a monthly ticket. Thank you for your support~ I wish you all a big fortune in the last month of 2024.
