Chapter 81 - flurry hammer technique
The Weapon Forging Pavilion was not less famous than the Treasure House, and it was one of the most important places in the Hall of Venus.From a distance, Li Mu could hear the clanging sounds of heavy hammers being forged. This was the most obvious characteristic of a weapon being forged by a Weapons Craftsman. (Tl: clangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclang.)
This was already the third day since Li Mu bought the Primordial Jade. After pa.s.sing down a martial skill called the flurry hammer technique to him, Li Mu had been researching it for three days.
The flurry hammer technique was originally not a high level martial skill, and according to Primal Chaos"s explanation, the Hammer Technique was only a low level Profound Ranked offensive martial skill at the start. After his modifications, it was already comparable to a middle level Earth Ranked martial skill.
was not sure if it was as exquisite as what Huntian had said, but after he familiarized himself with the technique, he did feel that it was extraordinary.In fact, according to Chaotic Sky"s words, this was not a mid-rank Earth Realm offensive martial skill, but more like an auxiliary martial skill specifically designed for Forge Soldiers.
If he had a pair of iron hammers in his hand, just in terms of destructive power, it could even be compared to some early Heaven Realm martial skills. Of course, the premise of this was that he needed to forge two heavy hammers.
In comparison, the effect of the flurry hammer technique was more focused on forging and refining weapons. This was what made the world extremely smug about it, because it was the result of him forcibly modifying it.
Looking at the three big words "Weapon Crafting Pavilion", Li Mu leisurely walked in.
"Senior-apprentice Brother, you need a weapon that can be forged to suit your needs. Whether it is a weapon or a staff, a hammer, spear, halberd, or even chainmail, I can forge them all!"
Just as Li Mu walked into the Weapon Crafting Pavilion, a muscular young man walked over and reported with a smile.This person had a thick, round body with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked quite sincere. However, there was a four to five inch long scar on his left cheek, which made him look quite fierce.
Li Mu could tell that this person was an outer disciple. He should have earned his income from forging weapons in the Weapon Crafting Pavilion.
Senior-apprentice Brother, I"m not lacking either. If you bring the materials you need, it will only cost 5000 silver taels. If you need materials, my Weapon Refining Pavilion has everything you need.
A few st.u.r.dy outer sect disciples walked up to recommend him with all their might.
Li Mu laughed, it seemed that the business of forging weapons was very hot, it was not surprising, a normal weapon was made at the price of 5,000 silver, which could be exchanged for a few low grade pills, for these Western Sect disciples, the enticing power was strong.
"I"m not here to forge a weapon. I"m mainly here to reforge this sword."
Li Mu said as he took out the two halved partridge.
"The broken sword is being reforged. That"s not a problem. Three thousand silver taels for you, that"s only an hour"s time!"The outer sect disciple with a scar on his face patted his chest as he solemnly vowed.
"No, I also have some craftsmanship, so if I want to do it myself, I don"t need to trouble my juniors."
Li Mu shook his head, the reason for his visit was not to have people help him forge his sword, but to try out the flurry hammer technique that was pa.s.sed down in the heavens.
Upon hearing that Li Mu wanted to do it himself, the outer sect disciples that surrounded him all sighed, they were a little depressed, and originally thought that it was a business deal, but they did not expect to be an expert at it."Wait a moment, how should I address this junior brother?"
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Mu called out to the young man who walked over with a scar on his face."My name is Zhou Xianguan, is there anything I can help senior brother with?" The scarred young man asked honestly.
"Junior Zhou, is it? It"s like this. I want to borrow your place for a while. Don"t worry, I will pay up. Here"s three thousand taels of silver. Take good care of it."
Li Mu took out three silver notes and handed them over to Zhou Xian Sheng.It was said that these banknotes were secretly developed by a few ancient super powers, and were not just in the secular world, but also in the cultivation world. Li Mu had obtained these banknotes from Chu Yu, and still had several hundreds of thousands of banknotes on him, so he was not short on them.
"Senior Brother, you"re too polite. I can only accept a thousand gold, and more will be returned to you!" "Borrowing a place is not worth so much money."
Zhou Xian Suo took a thousand taels of silver and returned the rest to Li Mu, causing him to look at him more. Logically, an early stage precelestial should not be so greedy, right?Taking a silver note from Li Mu, Zhou Xianguan brought Li Mu to his Weapon Forging Terrace. There were at least a few hundred of these in the main hall of the Weapon Forging Pavilion.
A burning bronze furnace, several large iron hammers, a bronze table, and a large bronze jar filled with a white liquid. The white liquid was emitting a cold aura, Li Mu knew that this white liquid was used to refine weapons and water.There were even some tools on the bronze table, such as fire pincers, flint stones, etc. They were not too different from the ones Li Mu had seen in the Forging Weapon Shop in Sunset Cloud City.
"This condition is a bit crude, but it is still barely enough. If I had the thousand year cold ice liquid as refining water, then that would be great. It is enough to raise the grade of weapons I forge."
Li Mu ignored the regretful voice and walked to the Weapon Forging Stage, before starting to fight.
First, Liu Ming used a fire pincer to catch the partridge that had been cut into two pieces and put it into the furnace to start burning. Then, he added a few pieces of Flaming Nitrate Rock to increase the intensity of the fire.
After doing all that, Li Mu picked up the heaviest iron hammer to weigh it in his hands. This hammer that weighed at least two to three hundred jin did not give him much pressure, his current strength was extremely strong, so this bit of weight was nothing to him.Zhou Xianguan watched quietly from the side, watching how this inner sect senior brother who was in the Postnatal realm forged the broken sword.
An inner sect disciple forging his own weapon naturally attracted a lot of outer sect disciples who had nothing better to do. Usually, there would be people who would personally forge their own weapon for inner sect disciples, but Li Mu, an inner sect disciple of the Postnatal realm, would personally forge his own weapon, causing quite a commotion.
As the fire burned brighter and brighter inside the furnace, the partridge that was made from Li Tie"s essence was quickly burnt until it turned red and became soft.
"It"s time to take out the broken sword and put it together!" And then, he would use the flurry hammer technique to once again remove all the impurities! " The voice that was mixed into heaven sounded in Li Mu"s mind.Li Mu frantically took out the partridge and put it back together.
Zhou Xianguan, who was at the side, saw Li Mu"s fl.u.s.tered look and immediately opened his eyes wide. In his eyes, this senior brother of his was not very skilled, as if this was his first time casting weapons.
The spectating outer sect disciples all revealed strange expressions, obviously, they did not have good impressions of Li Mu, especially the outer sect disciples who had come up to recommend him.
After Li Mu finished doing all this, he should have already used a fire pincer to directly use his hands. He thought this was convenient, but of course, the prerequisite was that his body would not need to fear this little bit of temperature after cultivating the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations.With one hand holding the scorching hot sword hilt, the other hand holding the sledgehammer, Li Mu began to strike the sword body.
"This is the most important step, circulate your true essence and use the flurry hammer technique to beat the sword blade, refine all the impurities and unfavorable elements inside it. Remember the profound changes in the flurry hammer technique, push it back three times, and your energy is as continuous as the river."With his guidance, it was as if Li Mu had G.o.d"s help. The speed at which he was. .h.i.tting the partridge"s body became faster and faster, with an endless stream of kengqiang sounds, the sound was faintly discernable.
Clang! Clang! "Clang clang!"
Li Mu"s left hand wielded the sword and right hand danced with the hammer, his speed shockingly fast. Every smash of his hammer brought about dazzling sparks, and an astonishing change was happening to the body of the partridge.
"What a profound hammer technique. Every strike doesn"t miss. The combination of strength and speed is so ingenious!"
"That"s right, could it be that this Senior Brother really is a hidden expert crafting blacksmith? I"ve never heard of this hammer technique before, but I"ve heard of it before. It"s truly profound!"More and more outer sect disciples started to spectate. Looking at Li Mu"s skilled forging skills, they all thought that Li Mu was a master blacksmith who hid his abilities well.
"To temper the first three inches with this kind of strength for another thirty times!"
"Pay attention, you have to use 7 points of [Vibrating Seven Retreat] and 3% of your strength. The remaining 3 points will be repelled!"
"That"s it. Take note of your appearance, this is a sword, not a blade!"
Luan Tian"s voice sounded out continuously in Li Mu"s mind. According to Luan Tian"s guidance, Li Mu felt that he had become more and more proficient in it."After removing the impurities, put the sword into the furnace to heat it up. Next, use the dual hammers, you must definitely change the strength, and use the strength of the vibrations three times and seven times. In addition, increase your speed and use the river crossing step!"
After a while, Li Mu placed the partridge in his hand back into the furnace and looked around at the dumbstruck outer sect disciples. He laughed: "Which junior brother is willing to borrow the large hammer to use, the heavier the better!""I …" I have used the Purple Gold Copper Gang"s inner disciple to forge a pair of Primeval Golden Hammers these past two days. He will also be able to use it in the future. "
A middle aged Outer Sect disciple meekly said, following that he walked towards a Weapon Forging Stage not far away, and not long after, he and another Outer Sect disciple carried a large copper hammer on their shoulders with much difficulty, and arrived in front of Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at the golden-colored copper hammer that the middle-aged outer sect disciple was struggling to carry on his back, and his eyes immediately lit up. The pair of large hammers were around the size of a bucket, they were completely round, and it could be seen that they were not light at a glance.
The moment Li Mu took the hammers, he almost fell to the ground by accident. The hammers weighed at least 1500 kilograms.
When Li Mu broke through the solid realm, the strength of his body reached a thousand kilograms, and as his cultivation rose to the perfection-stage of the Postnatal Realm, the strength of his body also increased by quite a bit, but if he did not use the power of the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations, he might not even be able to wield this pair of sledgehammers.
"Senior brother has great strength, the owner of this Primordius Golden Hammer is an inner court senior brother of mid-stage postcelestial. He once said that no one in the Postnatal realm would be able to wield this hammer, I never thought that senior brother would still have energy after using these two hammers!"
The middle-aged outer sect disciple exclaimed loudly. His words immediately caused the surrounding disciples to jump in joy, the commotion became bigger and bigger, an endless stream of Gold Jade Sect Disciple s rushed towards here, there were even some Innate realm inner sect disciples.
