Starting from the Dragon Tribe

How does Lu Chen feel now?

He was still thinking about his scabbard a moment ago, saying that he had deep feelings for it and did not want to easily replace it with other scabbards. He hoped that Lao Wang could repair and upgrade it.

But the moment he heard Lao Wang's words, strangely, he felt that his brain was not working well again, and he seemed to have forgotten what he had just said.

Hey, what did I just say?

Forget it, I can't remember clearly. There is only one thought in his mind now, "Senior, let me see!"

Among Lu Chen's settlement rewards, there was also a treasure chest that could produce avenue-level growth equipment, but it was not opened for the time being because Eriyi said to 'accumulate power' and wait until one day when he feels good to open it.

Lu Chen thought that there should be very few avenue-level growth equipment. It was not a matter of this level or the rarity of growth preparation, but that such high-level avenue-level equipment was too rare.

After all, I am almost close to the peak, and I am still growing...it seems a bit strange.

But he had a vague feeling that growth equipment should be fundamentally different from other equipment. Blacksmiths must have their own special purpose in pursuing the creation of growth equipment.

Although Lu Chen has not asked Lao Wang, he feels that even with Lao Wang's powerful forging technology, it is full of randomness to forge low-quality growth equipment such as white, green, and blue, and it may not necessarily be possible every time. success.

The birth of growth equipment is likely to be accidental and not completely controllable.

"Boy, didn't you just say you weren't going to change the scabbard?"

Lao Wang joked, sitting on the rocking chair without getting up.

Lu Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "What I said is that I don't plan to change the scabbard in the future."

"You're pretty thick-skinned, come with me."

Lao Wang smiled and cursed, got up from the recliner, opened the workshop, and took Lu Chen in.

After many years, Lu Chen walked into Lao Wang's workshop again and found that the layout was still the same. Many places looked like a garbage dump.

But there have been changes in some places. For example, there is an area to the east of the room where mountains of waste materials are piled up. With Lu Chen's current eyesight, it can be seen that those materials are not ordinary high-end goods.

There are so many scraps here for Lao Wang. Does it mean that he will also fail in forging?

Not long after, Lao Wang walked to a wall, stretched out his hand to operate on the wall, and the world opened up again.

Lu Chen was so stunned by the sight in front of him that he couldn't close his eyes and looked at the showroom in shock.

The floor was paved with some kind of chaos-level material, and the display cabinets on both sides had faint light curtains, making the whole room very bright.

In every display cabinet, there is a piece of equipment floating, shining brightly against the light curtain, giving people a feeling of dreaminess or palpitations.

"These equipments...are all Dao level!?"

Lu Chen said in surprise, because he felt the aura of these equipments. They were not only Dao-level, but also the best among Dao-level. In terms of quality, they definitely exceeded the several Dao-level equipment he had.

Lao Wang nodded, "It's just a place to put gadgets. The old man couldn't sell them, so he just threw them here if he thought they looked good."

Lu Chen curiously walked to a light curtain, glanced at Lao Wang, and with the other's acquiescence while smoking a dry cigarette, he stretched out his hand to touch.

He discovered that as long as he touched the light screen, he could view the details of the equipment. Sure enough, he guessed right. These equipments were all top-grade, high-grade equipment with a full rating at the avenue level, not ordinary goods.

And although the several pieces of equipment he checked were not of use to him, he had to say that their functions were very powerful. If there were explorers with matching abilities, it would be a great help if they got it.

There are nearly a hundred pieces of such avenue-level equipment with full ratings placed in this exhibition hall!

It’s hard to imagine that as a blacksmith, you can make things without selling them, and still live happily after having so much backlog.

Lu Chen could only attribute it to the fact that Lao Wang was powerful and not short of money, and he didn't know how long the other party had existed in the space. This was definitely not the result of one day.

"Come with me when you've seen enough. This house is full of defective items. There's nothing interesting to see."

Lao Wang slowly exhaled the smoke and looked at Lu Chen as if he was looking at a country bumpkin who had never seen him in the market before.

"Remnant... defective product!?"

Lu Chen was surprised. Do you call the best equipment with a full score at the Grand Avenue level defective?

"You kid don't understand. In the eyes of top forging masters, there are only two types of equipment."

Lao Wang turned around and walked forward, motioning for Lu Chen to follow.

"What do you mean? Isn't the Grand Avenue level good equipment?"

Lu Chen asked in confusion.

"Boy, do you remember what the equipment rating system is?"

Lao Wang started studying Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, but he still answered honestly, "It's been quite a few years, but I should remember correctly, they are white, green, blue, purple, legend, epic, sacred object, myth, fairy, immortality, chaos, Avenue, right?”

Lao Wang nodded, "Yes, but have you ever thought about whether the Grand Avenue level is the pinnacle of equipment?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said: "I don't think so, kid, because my growth equipment is still accumulating growth, which means there are higher taboos on it..."

As he said this, he seemed to have a clear understanding himself, "If the Dao-level benchmark is the equipment used by the powerful in the late True Self Realm, then does the equipment on it involve the taboos that people in the Supreme World call it?"

Lao Wang smiled happily and said, "Yes, there are still equipment levels above the avenue level, and this term is determined by the spread of space. You are also familiar with it, which is the origin level."

"origin!?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised. Isn't this the name of the space they were in? Is it a coincidence or does it have any special meaning?

"I won't explain the origin of this name to you. You just need to know that there are two types of equipment, one is under the origin and the other is the origin."

Lao Wang took a puff of dry cigarette and spoke slowly.

Lu Chen felt that Lao Wang talked a lot today. He usually didn't bother to talk to him. Could it be because he had won the first place in the Void Arena and this old man was finally willing to chat more?

At this time, Lao Wang continued: "The reason for this distinction is that all origin-level equipment has self-awareness. This self-awareness does not refer to the weapon spirit of the magic weapon in the immortal cultivation system, but is born from scratch. Consciousness, a new form of consciousness.”

After hearing this, Lu Chen was a little confused and asked: "Senior, the kid's regicide also has a sword spirit, and he also has a certain ability to think. Doesn't this count as consciousness?"

Old Wang glanced at Lu Chen, and he was operating a console in his hand, as if he was unlocking something, "Old man, you didn't listen at all to what I just said. I said that it was a weapon spirit, not a weapon spirit." It is a consciousness born from scratch. Your sword is a growth weapon born from the fusion of an original weapon and a special evolutionary material? "

"That's right, senior has a keen eye."

Lu Chen nodded.

"So your sword originally had a sword spirit. The sword spirit is a black water black snake. Its soul was refined by an alchemist and integrated into the blade. It is not a self-consciousness born from scratch. Boy, don't you? Did you find out..."

Lao Wang paused and said: "The Dao-level ring and Dao-level coat on your body are obviously at this level, but you have never had the so-called Weapon Spirit. You are a frequent visitor to the Shetian Trilogy. You should know that. When the strength of the people around you is very low, the refined Taoist weapons will gradually have weapon spirits."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was puzzled again, "That's right. I remember that the wisdom of the emperor-level creatures is already very high. Doesn't this count as consciousness?"

Lao Wang touched his beard, "It seems that the explanation I just gave was inappropriate. The term 'consciousness' is commonly used among us blacksmiths, but for you, perhaps a more straightforward explanation is better. This consciousness is not so much wisdom and communication ability, but rather the 'characteristics' of equipment for dealing with foreign objects."

He thought for a while and continued: "As for the origin-level equipment, when it awakens its characteristics, it will also get rid of the original suppression of space and awaken its own true spirit. This true spirit is not divided into advantages and disadvantages like humans. It is also considered For a special creature, in general, what matters is not the intelligence of its equipment, but its awakened characteristic will.”

As he said that, he looked at the sword on Lu Chen's waist, "Just like your regicide, if a sharp will is awakened, then there will be nothing that it can't kill. This is basically absolute."

"Why do you say it's basically absolute? It seems quite contradictory?"

Lu Chen said doubtfully.

"Boy, you should have heard of using another's spear to attack one's own shield. Since there is a sharp will and a corresponding will, or if the same type of will collides with each other, then there will naturally be uncontrollable consequences, or... Break at the same time, or fight against each other and live in peace."

Lao Wang said, "But if the origin-level equipment is used to attack, the equipment below it is completely irresistible, and there is no chance."

"Sounds awesome."

Lu Chen sighed with emotion.

Lao Wang looked at Lu Chen strangely, "Why do you feel like you didn't understand it at all?"

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed. He had indeed only heard a rough idea.

"Okay, come in, this is my treasured area, old man."

Lao Wang finally opened another door. This room was very small, with only a dozen booths. But what surprised Lu Chen was that the equipment here had different auras.

Some equipment looks very weak, probably not of purple quality, and some equipment is perceived to be very strong, but if you continue to look at it, there is no breath left.

Lao Wang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Welcome to the origin area, or the area where the equipment with origin qualifications is located."

After receiving approval from Lao Wang's eyes, Lu Chen approached a display cabinet, put his hand on the light screen, and said with some surprise: "Is this growth equipment!?"

He looked around and saw that there were a total of eighteen display cabinets here, "Are these all!?"

Lao Wang seemed to enjoy Lu Chen's gaze and nodded, "Yes, I just said that there are two types of equipment. The equipment here is the second type, or equipment that has the potential to reach the second type."

Lu Chen seemed to understand somewhat, "In other words, is it possible to reach the origin level only with growth equipment?"

Lao Wang nodded happily, "Yes, origin-level equipment cannot be created directly. Even the old man can't do it. All origin-level equipment are upgraded from growth-oriented equipment. After awakening the consciousness of characteristics, , is the strongest one. To put it bluntly, an origin-level main weapon can sweep all the resident explorers in the nine major spaces. "

Lu Chen was stopping in front of a display cabinet. Hearing Old Wang's words, his hands froze because he was facing an origin-level war hammer. After hearing Old Wang's words, he felt that the war hammer seemed to be 'looking' at him.

Can't you beat a hammer?

But it seems...it really can't be beaten.

As Lao Wang said, this hammer probably experienced countless bloody battles before reaching its origin. This was once a taboo weapon!

"It feels very mysterious. Is this origin-level equipment..."

Lu Chen lamented that only when he got close could he faintly sense it, or in other words, his wild intuition was warning him.

The light curtain here has protection and lighting effects, but Lu Chen feels that it is just because the origin-level equipment here is relatively honest. Otherwise, if there is a riot, there will be no way to stop it.

But fortunately, this is the origin space. Even if it is origin-level equipment, it is impossible to use force in the space, right?

"There are eight pieces of origin-level equipment here. They are all old items that have been gathering dust. Don't look at those. I won't sell them, old man. You can't use them, and you can't even afford them."

Lao Wang smiled and pointed the direction to Lu Chen, "That's what you want."

In this room, except for the eight origin-level equipment, all the others are growth equipment, with high and low stages, but they are all in an unbound state.

Lu Chen walked expectantly towards a display cabinet. He noticed when he first came in that there was a scabbard in one of the display cabinets.

This is a pitch black scabbard, which is in line with the aesthetics he has always used for scabbards. It has a simple shape. Judging from the current appearance in the display cabinet, it is about four feet, but this size is actually of little significance. For a knife of this quality As for the scabbard, it should be able to change the shape and length like the Regicide, so that it can match any knife.

On the surface of the scabbard, there were faint dark golden lines, which were connected in series. If it could be spread out flat, Lu Chen felt that it would be a gloomy ghost face.
