Chapter 23: Gift ring

What made Hong Yi curious was not the woman dressed as a man and wearing the costume of an Imperial College student, but the bloody steel she said.

Bloody steel is not a type of fine steel. It is the steel of the legendary immortal soldiers flying sword.

This steel is bright and pure, but there will be bloodshot lines inside the steel that look like the blood vessels of the human body.

Legend has it that this kind of steel has spirituality. The practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism use it to refine flying swords and drive them. It is much more flexible and powerful than ordinary steel-based swords.

However, Hong Yi only read the records of this kind of "blood steel" in the Taoist scriptures, and he had never read it himself. He even doubted whether there was such steel in the world.

His spiritual cultivation has not reached the level of driving things, and he cannot compare who is better and worse when this "blood-bacter steel" or ordinary iron is driven by Yin God.

However, Hong Yi knew that the boss of the "Zunlei" mentioned ladder steel, ice crack steel, and chrysanthemum steel, and had seen it. The weapons made of these three steels are all magical weapons, worth at least thousands of taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels of taels of gold, and they are priceless.

Because these three types of steel swords are truly made of blowing hair and cutting iron like mud.

Ladder rebar is a specialty of the Huoluo Kingdom in the Western Regions. Because the forged swords have trapezoidal textures, they are called ladder pattern.

The Daqian Dynasty was made of ice cracks and chrysanthemum patterns of the southern islands Ksanfeng Kingdom. These three types of swords were called the three great weapons.

Hong Yi once saw with his own eyes that Hong Xi, the eldest son of Mrs. Zhao, had an ice-cracked sword in his hand, which was rewarded by the emperor. Hong Yi was very enthusiastic.

"Yujing City is the largest city in the world, and this Guanlei number is the number one weapon shop in the world. There is no bloody steel purchase?" The "Young Master" disguised as a man sighed again, and no deep disappointment could be hidden in his eyebrows.

"This guy, bloody steel was refined by Taoist priests in the alchemy furnace. It is said that it takes thousands of fires and many more materials. Finally, it is quenched with his own human blood to make the blood patterns, like the meridians and bloodlines of the human body. Taoist priest Wang Jiuyue, a master of Fang Xiandao in the previous dynasty, took ten years to practice large pieces of bloody steel in the palm, and finally died of his own essence and blood. Brother, if he wants to buy this legendary fairy steel in ordinary stores, how can he buy it?"

Hong Yi couldn't help but step forward and said.

Just as Hong Yi took a step forward, the two guards next to the "Young Master" dressed as a man suddenly stared at him, and the cold light was soaked that they seemed to be a giant beast. Moreover, their hands touched their waists, as if they were going to take out their weapons at any time.

Hong Yi was shocked by this reaction and was almost scared to retreat. After all, he had been practicing his soul for a long time and had the concentration, he just stopped his steps and looked at the two fierce guards with a smile.

"What are you doing? Don't you retreat?"

After hearing Hong Yi's words, the "Young Master" dressed as a man was immediately surprised. When he saw his guard's attitude, he was immediately angry and his eyebrows stood up.

When the two guards heard the reprimand of the "Young Master", they said nothing and immediately retreated to both sides.

"Young Master, do you know where to buy blood rebar?" The "Young Master" immediately took two steps forward, approached Hong Yi, and asked hurriedly.

"May I ask this guy's surname?" Hong Yi asked with a smile.

"Young Master" probably felt that he was a little impatient and rude when he got up like this, so he quickly took a step back and bowed his hand, looking at Hong Yi with his eyes, "Young Master is a scholar, wearing a scholar's blue shirt, he already has fame. I don't know how he knew about 'blooded steel'. My surname is Luo and my name is Yun."

While the other party was looking at him, Hong Yi was also looking at the "fake young man" in front of him.

The other party's face is very white, with delicate facial features, fragrant breath, like orchids and muskies, with slender fingers, and a ring on his left thumb, but the ring is not jade, but iron, with patterns on the iron and buckles, which are not for decoration, but for archery.

Seeing the ring on the other party’s thumb, Hong Yi suddenly remembered that he had to buy a ring if he wanted to open the bow and practice his strength, otherwise he would easily cut his fingers by the bowstring.

Although Hong Yi saw that the other party was a woman, he did not point it out, but still called him a kind brother.

A man dresses as a woman is just a layer of skin. It is meaningless to say it out loud, and it is easy to cause people to dislike and even become enemies.

"My surname is Hong and my name is Yi, but I just read a few more Taoist scriptures. When I heard that Brother Luo wanted to buy blood rebar, I was curious. Seeing that Brother Luo should be a student of the Imperial College, why would he buy a fairy thing like blood rebar?" Hong Yi asked.

"Uh..." Luo Yun paused, "I'm just asking casually."

"Well, but thirty miles outside Yujing City is Yujing Temple, which is the foundation of the Fangxiandao Sect. If Brother Luo really can afford the price, he can ask the Taoist priests there, they should have collected it." Hong Yi said.

"Yujingguan, is Fang Xiandao?" Luo Yun pondered and raised his head again: "Since Brother Hong is familiar with the Taoist scriptures, I wonder if he has read it. If there is no blood rebar, what is the best place to replace it?"

"You have to practice flying swords? Without blood rebar, what should I use instead?" Hong Yi heard this: "This woman is a naughty girl, right? She asked this question when she opened her mouth. Scholars don't talk about strange powers and gods, at least not in public, right? Could it be that this woman is also a cultivator? I don't know what level she has reached? But since she speaks so generously, I touch her foundation? Is she a cultivator or someone who becomes interested after reading a few Taoist scriptures?"

Although he thought so in his heart, his eyes looked at this woman's eyes, and there was a naive taste. Hong Yi recalled some records in the Taoist scriptures and said: "The book says that blood-bacter steel changes steel by alchemy to cultivate the same bloodline as the human body. If it cannot be refined, it can be replaced by a wooden sword, because the wooden sword also has veins. If it is replaced by other things without veins, it will be ten times more difficult to drive the sword. However, I don't know the specific method of refining swords and picking swords. I just saw it in reading some Taoist books."

"So that's the truth!" Luo Yun suddenly realized and shone brightly in his eyes: "Brother Hong, you and I are also scholars, but I know so much. No wonder my father... wants me to study in Yujing, and I have to read more other books and ask more questions."

When Luo Yun talked about his father, he seemed to feel that he had missed his mouth, and his voice immediately became inaudible.

Hong Yi also pretended not to hear it. He had long guessed that Luo Yun was from the foreign royal family.

"It seems that the power of using the wooden sword is much smaller. I'd better go to Yujingguan to see if there is any blood-branded steel sold." Luo Yun said naturally to himself, and then bowed: "Thank you, Brother Hong, for your advice. I'll go to Yujingguan first. By the way, Brother Hong has a bow in his hand but no ring, so it's easy to cut his fingers. I'll give you a ring. Thank you for your advice."

As he said that, Luo Yun took his finger ring from his hand and handed it to Hong Yi, "I am studying in the Imperial College. Where do you live? Do I have time to come to chat with you?"

"I'm in the Marquis of Wuwen." Hong Yi said.

"Well, I remember, I'll take a step now."

After Luo Yun handed the ring, he quickly walked out. Hong Yi saw her riding in a carriage and galloping out of the city on the edge of the building.

"He is a person who has no intention of becoming a deceitful person." Hong Yi looked at the ring in his hand and sighed.

In the carriage.

"Princess, this scholar is not an ordinary person!" A guard said to Luo Yun.

"What's the difference?" Luo Yun asked.

"When you ask other scholar princesses, sometimes you look numb when you ask them. Apart from getting close, you are just talking nonsense. How can this scholar know so much?" said another guard.

"Didn't my father say that the scholars of the Daqian Dynasty covered all the world's knowledge? What's so strange about this?" Luo Yunqi said.

"Princess, you are too naive. The king sent you here to learn from the wisdom of Daqian people, but you..."

Both guards sighed.
