There is a large square table in the thatched cottage. Four old men in different clothes are playing mahjong enthusiastically around the table. There is a small table next to it with pastries, dried fruits, and tea, but no one has time to eat.

When we came out, the fighting was in full swing.

Looking for inspiration, right?

When the three people from Chu and Liang saw this, they all curled their lips, thinking that you were going to seek Tao Yun or comprehend the meaning of the sword, and you spent half the day playing mahjong here. If you put it this way, isn't Shushan the king of inspiration per capita?

Chen An whispered: "Those three are all nearby Immortal Sect masters, and they are also my master's partners to find inspiration."

With that said, he walked forward, saluted an old man sitting in the east seat and said, "Master, I have a few friends from Shushan who want to meet you and ask for help."

The old man was wearing a purple-breasted gray robe, with a long and thin face, cross-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a rather fierce look between his eyebrows. He was Chen Buyan, the owner of Jianlu. Hearing Chen An's words, he nodded lightly and said: "Wait a minute.

I'll finish this round."

"Yes." Chen An responded, stepped back in front of the Chu and Liang trio, and said, "I can only help here, wait until my master finishes this round."

"That's pretty quick." Chu Liang said nonchalantly.

"Their circle refers to the sundial over there turning once." Chen An pointed to the yard outside, where there was a sundial, reflecting its shadow in the sun.

"Isn't that just a whole day?" Lin Bei said in surprise: "My brothers are in good shape and they are not tired even after sitting for such a long time."

"Haha." Chen An smiled, "My master and the others play mahjong day and night, and a game often takes more than ten days to enjoy."

Chu Liang is not surprised. For ordinary people, if it is not limited by physical factors, they may not be satisfied with even a few days of fighting. For tireless practitioners, a fight for ten days and a half is not enough.

Strange.

He smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, we will just wait here. Since you are asking for help, you must be sincere."

After speaking, he quietly stretched out a finger.

call out.

A ray of light that only he could see fell on the old man opposite Chen Buyan.

The old man was staring at the cards in his superior's hand, seeing that the opponent still didn't play after much deliberation. The moment the light fell on him, his face suddenly became furious, and the invisible devil's horns extended out.

"Can you hit me?" He slapped the table hard, stood up suddenly with a bang, "I'm still thinking, still thinking, it's like a dung beetle pushing a donkey's dung egg, you have to be as slow as you want.

.Is it just a card that doesn’t have the suit you like? Do you have to figure out what your second aunt’s family will eat for lunch today before you can play this card? I just want you to have a card worth 20,000 yuan. You can keep it.

It's useless, so why are you holding it? Keep it for your parents as a burial or as a dowry for your daughter?"

The old man, who was a good-looking man from my previous family, was stunned for a moment when he scolded him. I don't know why he suddenly became so angry, and he didn't even think of how to retaliate.

At this time, Chu Liang pointed his finger again, and an old man in a long gown from the next family was hit by the magic heart curse, and his whole person immediately released a fierce aura.

"Are you still talking about him?" The old man from the next family was also furious. He grabbed the collar of the angry old man and said angrily: "How are you better than him? Aren't you a millionaire? How can you just write a note?

I don’t see you hitting me. I’m asking you where is the note? Did it get mixed into the noodles you had for breakfast today? It’s all the same for me. I’m so happy for you. You’re not stuck at all, just my little ass. You’re clearly doing it.

Regarding it, it’s obviously because I won the most hostility yesterday and I don’t want to have fun, right? Then everyone should stop playing!”

"What are you doing..." Chen Buyan stretched out his hand to persuade.

At this time, the light from Chu Liang's fingertips fell on the honest old man again.

I saw him suddenly running up and yelling: "Ah——"

The other three old men were all interrupted by his roar and looked at him strangely: "What's your name?"

"I want to be lucky!" He stamped his feet twice: "There must be something wrong with your broken Jianlu's Feng Shui. Why do I start with good cards every time, but fail to get good cards every time? Every time I am here

Fight, bad luck is like dog-skin plaster, you can’t throw it away! When I see your three ugly old faces, I want to vomit! It’s really disgusting!”

"Wow yeah-"

"..."

The three old men immediately got into a fight. After all, they were all the masters of the Little Immortal Sect, and their cultivation levels were not low. They fought with great force for a while.

"Come quickly, pull them apart!" Chen Buyan shouted quickly.

Fortunately, although several headmasters were furious, they did not kill them. A group of Jianlu disciples swarmed forward, pulled them hard and pushed them away. Chen Buyan quickly asked his disciples to send these disciples back to their respective homes, not daring to keep them anymore.

Play.

Good guy.

This is simply a gamble.

"Why haven't I noticed that they have such a bad temper before?" After sending the elders away, Chen Buyan sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at Chu Liang and the others, "A young man from Shushan, right? Why are you looking for me?

Ah? I happen to be free today, let’s talk about it.”

Chu Liang quickly came over and said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? What a coincidence."

…

When he heard that he was asked to try to smelt a material, Chen Buyan was quite unhappy. After all, he was the best swordsmith in the world, and smelting was only the first step in sword-making. In many cases, it was done by apprentices.

It's a bit humiliating to ask him to do this job.

"Don't worry, Master Chen." Chu Liang said: "Although it is a small job, we can pay it at the same price as a big job."

"Is this a matter of money?" Chen Buyan glared at him, "Our swords are made using ancient methods and are not susceptible to common things..."

"This is the deposit." Chu Liang directly handed over a jade slip for storage, "Whether it succeeds or not, this is yours. If it succeeds, it will be ten times more."

Chen Buyan's pupils shrank obviously, he paused, then stood up and said: "I want to see what kind of material it is, it can't even handle the Samadhi Divine Fire."

After taking a few steps, he turned around again: "This is not about money."

When Chen Buyan saw the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze sacrificed by Xu Ziyang, he was immediately shocked.

"Oh my god." Chen Buyan stepped forward and touched the surface of the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze, and exclaimed: "This is simply... not a material that should be available in the human world..."

"Although I haven't made many swords in my life, I pride myself on having a lot of knowledge. I have seen most of the top ten artifacts in Wanbaolu. The reason why I never dared to have the extravagant hope of forging artifacts of that level is because of my lack of skill.

The most important thing is that there is no material in the human world that can carry that level of spirituality. The materials for all artifacts come from outside the world."

"But this Tribulation Divine Bronze..." he said in a trembling voice, "This is clearly an artifact-level material. Is it obtained from the human world?"

"This is the only remaining part of the Jiuli Bronze City that survived the catastrophe." Xu Ziyang said: "That's why it's called the Divine Bronze of Overcoming the Tribulation."

It is not accurate to say that this piece of divine copper is a wreck. Because it almost carries most of the spirituality of the Bronze City back then. That disaster was like a stew over a big fire, and this small piece left behind is the ultimate essence.

.Especially after being tempered, it has become even more sublime.

It can be said that the power that is impossible to appear in the human world has also been incorporated into it to create this piece of material that is impossible to have in the human world.

Chen Buyan rubbed it back and forth for a long time before saying, "I really can't guarantee that it can be smelted with such magical copper, but I can give it a try."

He clasped his hands together and bowed to the sacred copper, as if he was saluting before offending.

However, according to Xu Ziyang, the spirit of the Bronze City resurrected in the Breath of the Underworld has dissipated, and it is not known to whom this ceremony was performed.

After Chen Buyi saluted, he called his disciples and moved the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze to a narrow valley deep in Zhongshan Mountain.

The valley is extremely small. The surrounding mountain walls and the ground are all pure black. There is a stone platform in the center that is engraved with array patterns. The divine copper of transcending tribulation is placed on the stone platform, and everyone is lined up on both sides of the valley.

"The fact that our Zhongshan Sword House can be passed down to this day is mostly due to the Zhongling Mountain Divine Fire." Chen Buyan said to Chu Liang, "Your master's Samadhi Divine Fire is certainly powerful, but it is an explosive and killing fire that is most suitable for destruction.

But what we need to make swords is to retain the complete spirituality of the materials, the more the better. In this regard, Samadhi Divine Fire is actually not suitable for casting."

Chu Liang nodded and accepted the instruction.

Most of the time, no one would consider using the Samadhi Divine Fire to refine weapons, including the Imperial City Swordsmith Bai Litong. Only when they encounter materials that cannot be processed, they would choose to use the Samadhi Divine Fire to refine them.

That kind of top-notch material, even if it has lost its spirituality, is still better than inferior materials. This is the choice of using Samadhi Divine Fire.

"This mountain divine fire that only Zhongshan can offer may be less powerful in killing, but its density and majesty make it even better than the Samadhi divine fire, which is most suitable for smelting various materials."

As Chen Buyan spoke, he ordered his disciples, "Sacrifice the magic circle!"

There were eight Jianlu disciples standing around the valley. With an order, these eight people used magic formulas at the same time to activate the formation in the valley.

boom--

A raging sea of ​​purple-green fire suddenly erupted in the Black Stone Valley, submerging the Tribulation Copper. The fire was so strong that the practitioners standing around immediately started sweating profusely, and felt the heat wave steaming them.

But Chen Buyan frowned and said: "Just fill it up!"

It is said that in ancient times, the God of Zhongshan was the god of fire in the sky who was relegated to this place, so that he could use the magic circle to sacrifice the unique mountain god fire. However, the world of immortality knows the real reason for this, which is that there is a rare fire spirit mineral vein underground in Zhongshan.

, so the virtue of fire is strong. Zhongshan Sword House never allows people to mine veins, and only uses the mountain sacred fire to make swords.

If even this mountain fire cannot smelt the Tribulation Divine Copper, it can only mean that it is a material that does not belong to the human world and cannot be refined by humans.

The disciples changed their tactics and immediately opened the formation to the maximum.

A loud rumbling sound came from the formation, and the eyes were filled with a burst of purple light. The fire could no longer be seen, nor could the divine copper in the fire be seen.

Chu Liang could only feel that his face was getting hot, as if it was about to melt.

Even his physical body couldn't withstand it, which shows how intense the fire was.

But Chen Buyan's frown became deeper and deeper. He stared at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Everyone, step back!"

"Master..." Chen An, who was activating the formation over there, looked over, "Are you going to summon those?"

Following Chen Buyan's order, everyone retreated a hundred feet.
