Chapter 78 Hu’s Iron Shop
The black iron sent by Fang Kai was packed in a simple small wooden box.
When he opened it, he saw a dark mass of metal lying inside, half the size of a fist, uneven, and almost in its most primitive state.
But at a glance, one can realize that it is extraordinary.
Other ordinary iron is dull and inconspicuous. Dark iron is dazzling and eye-catching.
Chu Tang reached out and picked it up and weighed it. It was quite heavy. It was much heavier than ordinary metal, and it seemed to be quite dense.
"With this little thing, can a weapon be made?" Chu Tang looked at Fang Kai and asked.
Fang Kai was no longer lame, and he had gotten over the difficulties that had damaged his brother before. He was in a very good state of mind. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's only three kilograms of black iron. Let alone a sword, it can't even be struck with a sword." . But it can be mixed with other metals. I will take you to Lao Hu Iron Shop and ask a master blacksmith to consider it for you."
Chu Tang nodded and followed Fang Kai out of the Yamen, walking through the streets and alleys, all the way to the iron shop.
According to Fang Kai, Lao Hu Iron Shop is the best and largest iron shop in Gui County, specializing in making all kinds of weapons for people.
This is a century-old store that has existed since Dayao founded the country a hundred years ago.
It is said that his first master fought in the founding war of Yao, and his strength and reputation coexisted.
Their inheritance is orderly, their craftsmanship is exquisite, and their ability to forge weapons is extremely strong. As long as there are enough materials, they can now create fourth-grade weapons.
And Chu Tang heard that to forge a magic weapon, you need to use similar Qi exercises to make the furnace fire and forge repeatedly.
"A blacksmith has a level four cultivation level?" Chu Tang asked strangely.
Fang Kai smiled: "How can that be possible! If fourth-level weapons can only be forged by warriors of the fourth realm, then don't ninth-level weapons require masters of the ninth realm to forge them? Ninth realm, such a master, will he forge iron?"
"Maybe he is obsessed with blacksmithing?" Chu Tang asked back.
Fang Kai was speechless and explained angrily: "Some people have secret techniques. With the help of various forging tools and practice makes perfect, even if they are not in the realm, they can still create super-grade magic weapons. Just like this old Hu Tiepu, they A second-level warrior can produce third- and fourth-grade weapons!”
"Then what is the highest level of cultivation of this iron shop's master?"
"Three realms."
"What is the highest grade of weapon they can create?"
Fang Kai thought for a moment and said: "Fourth-grade weapons are no big deal to them. It is said that they have secret techniques, and their ancestors have used fifth-grade magic weapons. This is also the reason for their continued prosperity as a century-old store manager."
Chu Tang's heart moved, he glanced at the wooden box in Fang Kai's hand, and couldn't help but ask: "With black iron as the material, can they create a fifth-grade magic weapon?"
Chu Tang's goal is to obtain a fourth-grade weapon.
Although there is only one level of difference between fourth-grade and third-grade weapons, their effectiveness is very different.
A third-grade weapon can be used by anyone. But if you want to bring out the power of a warrior above the fourth level, that is, to release the gang energy, only weapons of the fourth level and above can last.
Weapons below the third level are prone to breakage after being used several times.
Weapons of the fourth level and above are specially forged for the purpose of exerting Gang Qi. They can be used by warriors of the fourth realm and warriors of the ninth realm. It just means that the higher the grade of the weapon, the more powerful it can be to the user.
Chu Tang has learned more about the black iron these days and knows that as long as there is enough black iron and the blacksmith has high enough skills, a ninth-grade magic weapon can be created.
Of course, with only half a fist-sized black iron in front of him, Chu Tang didn't expect high-grade magic weapons.
Now that he heard that Old Hu Tiepu could forge fifth-grade magic weapons, he naturally had other thoughts.
"Chu Tang, don't have too high expectations!" Fang Kai saw Chu Tang's thoughts and gave him a shot, "Zhuo Baantou generously rewarded you with black iron. You should really try it to see if you can surpass him. The weapons you asked for. However, our yamen only has so much black iron, so I don’t know if it will be possible."
Chu Tang was quite moved when he heard this. In front of Fang Kai, he thanked and praised Zhuo Duo for his righteousness, and finally said: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. I'm lucky to get it, but I'm destined to lose it."
Fang Kai smiled: "You are quite open-minded! By the way, how are you thinking about Tiangang's disintegration method?"
"It's okay." Chu Tang was a little perfunctory. It can't be said that he has tried the power of Tiangang's disintegration method in the past ten days!
The two began to discuss the method of disintegrating Tiangang.
Under Fang Kai's entanglement, Zhuo Lien also passed on this secret skill to him. But he reversed his true energy slightly and felt the surge of meridians, so he didn't dare to try it anymore.
"This secret skill is really incredible! The person who created this skill is very talented and very evil!" Fang Kai couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Tang nodded in agreement.
It doesn't matter if you are not evil. After all, if you can't defeat others, you have to use cheats.
In fact, the secret book "Tiangang Disintegration Dafa" has a preface by the creator, explaining the original intention of creating this secret technique.
It was created by a martial arts prodigy named Lang.
Of course, this guy doesn't have nothing to do to tinker with such evil martial arts.
He was also forced to——
According to his own account, after decades of hard work, his martial arts level has risen to the eighth level, which is the envy of countless martial arts people. And within the eight realms, no one is his opponent. Then his goal was to reach the ninth realm, but after decades of time, his realm still stayed at the eighth realm.
In order to improve himself, he began to search for the location of the nine masters in the world and came to challenge them. The result is obvious: he failed in all of them and won no one. Although he is an invincible existence under the Nine Realms, he is known as the always-defeated general. The unwilling master Lang Da worked hard and created a secret technique that could defeat the enemy across borders - the Tiangang Disintegration Technique.
Later, he came to challenge the masters of the Ninth Realm again. When his secret skills exploded, he defeated the masters of the Ninth Realm with the cultivation of the Eighth Realm and beat the people of the Ninth Realm half to death. Unfortunately, the sequelae of the secret technique caused all the meridians in his body to be severed and he died of exhaustion.
And the secret technique he created, the Tiangang Disintegration Technique, has also been secretly passed down. It was obtained by Zhuo Lien twenty years ago, and now it is being carried forward.
As the two of them talked, they couldn't help but sigh, sighing that there are all kinds of amazing martial arts in the world.
It was a long journey, and we didn't arrive there after almost two quarters of an hour.
Suddenly, Fang Kai changed the subject and asked as if casually: "Chu Tang, your colleague Shi Zhifeng has gone back to Shi County after copying the four realms exercises. And you are stranded in the county office because of weapons. Zhuo Captou Let me ask you if you have any plans to join the county government. The boss said that as long as you join, you will be made the leader of a class!"
I'm coming! finally come!
Even the guards wanted to win over him, so Chu Tang could naturally predict Zhuo Lien's thoughts.
However, he had previously refused to join the Zhen Yiwei because the organization was too dangerous and did not fit well with his personality and style.
What about joining the ranks of county police officers?
To be honest, Chu Tang was a little moved.
"Team leader Fang, I am still a police officer in Shi County. I will not go back after a visit to the county government office. Isn't it hard to explain?" Chu Tang said half-truthfully.
Fang Kai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Chu Tang didn't refuse, and said quickly: "From county to county, this is a promotion, isn't it a good thing? Even if Capt. Xu knew about it, he would only be happy for you. You saw it too, Bai Bai In order to join the county government, those two people in the county did not hesitate to take the risk to escort the prisoners with me! They joined the county government and they were just ordinary policemen in the county government. You are different. You are directly a class leader and equal to me. This is a big deal What a good thing!”
"Shall I... think about it again?"
In fact, during this trip, Chu Tang had already discovered that it was really time for him to leave Novice Village.
In Shixian County, he could not encounter thieves from the third realm all year round. Occasionally catching some warriors from the first and second realms was of little use to the accumulation of chivalry points.
He has now begun to redeem martial arts from the second level of the panel. And the skills at this level often require thousands of chivalrous points. If you still stay in the county, can you upgrade only once every year of the monkey?
Going to a higher and bigger stage became the only option.
If you don't go to the imperial guard in the state city, the only choice you have now is the county government office.
But he was thin-skinned and felt that he would be dishonest if he agreed too quickly, so he hesitated.
"Still considering... Oh, here we are!" Fang Kai was about to say something when he suddenly stopped and pointed to a building in front of him.
Chu Tang looked up and saw a plaque with four characters "Hu's Iron Shop" in his sight!
