Chapter 125: Taking advantage of the situation (third update today)(1/2)
"This thing..."
It was getting dark. After completing several sets of military postures, Li Yuan changed his clothes and opened the booklet given to him by Jing Shuhu under the flickering light:
"Menu, directory?"
Li Yuan rubbed his eyes and flipped through a few more pages, only to realize that this already thick book was really a catalog. The books in the catalog covered aspects such as fire identification, iron quenching and plasticity, etc., and amounted to no less than a thousand taels. Hundreds of books! "Damn, there are so many?!"
Li Yuan was stunned and then realized: "No wonder the old guy's expression..."
Thinking of Jing Shuhu's smile before leaving, Li Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. From time to time, he would read one or two unofficial novels for fun, but chewing thousands of them would be fatal.
"The Art of Weaponry can't be this complicated, let me take a look..." Li Yuan started from the beginning and felt a little relieved.
Most of the books in these catalogs are about blacksmithing, and only a small half are about forging weapons.
Moreover, many of them are the personal experiences of the elders of the Forging Valley of the past generations. The most important thing is that there are only more than ten books. "A dozen or so books are fine..."
After closing the catalog book, Li Yuan came to the courtyard. The night sky after the rain was very clear, and the four bright moons were shining brightly. He raised the hammer and moved, slowly pushing the soldiers, and each move was still the same as before.
But with the talent of Hammer Technique, and the superimposed blessing of Xiaocheng's Dacheng-level Weapon Dao Fighting Hammer, he only felt that the Hammer Technique's energy, blood and internal energy were flowing smoothly, and his progress was greatly increased.
Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to the library and borrowed the books listed in the catalog.
The books on the art of forging weapons were all in the inner building. Li Yuan did not waste the opportunity to enter the inner building only three times a year, but borrowed them in the name of Jing Shuhu.
"Elder Lei has told me that this time will not be counted as your number."
The fat old man hurried downstairs with the book in his arms, a smile on his face, and he was much more respectful than before, and said:
"The books in the inner building are not allowed to be damaged and are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. That means you are the real one and ordinary disciples cannot borrow them..." "Thank you."
When Li Yuan saw it from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the dozens of brick-thick books. A light cyan light appeared in his eyes:
[Soldier tempering method (Level 4)]
[The book made of red rhinoceros leather, soaked in special medicinal liquid, has dozens of notes written by master craftsmen... It has been passed down for thousands of years, and the hard work has been gathered, and it has become a supernatural being...
[Conditions for mastery: Perfection in the Forging Technique and the Perfection of the Art of War, Perfection and Perfection in the Art of Warmaking]
[Controller effect: Perfection of Forging the Art of War (Dark Blue), Perfection of the Art of Weaponry (Light Blue)] An unexpected surprise?
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This was the second kind of book he had seen that could be controlled besides the Fundamental Diagram. And, as expected, there was at least the Armor Training "Three Sets of Arms, Psychic, Armor and Stomach Psychic!" How extensive is the weaponry of Wengui?
Although the conditions for mastering this set of books were very high, Li Yuan was still quite surprised, and at the same time he also became very interested in other secret books in the inner building.
He remembered that intermediate martial arts and superior martial arts both had "physical figures..." Under the old tree outside the library, two old men were still playing chess, and there were noises from time to time.
"Forging the Art of War? You are indeed a wizard of forging, but Grand Elder Jing hasn't taught anyone the Art of War for many years." The taller old man glanced at Li Yuan and marveled.
Another short and fat old man shook his head: "Boy Li, although the art of war is a magical art, martial arts is the right way..." "What is the right way or not? In our Divine Weapon Valley, isn't this art of war the right way?" "
"Old guy!" "Old guy!"
When the two of them disagreed, they got angry with each other and seemed to be about to fight at any time. "Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, you continue, I will bring you some wine and meat to play chess with you another day." Li Yuan did not bother and said hello. , turned around and left.
These two old men were once the elders of the outer sect, but they either had problems with their practice or retired due to injuries, so they took up residence in the library.
Of course, they are not the only ones sitting in the library.
There are constant frictions between the outside and the inside of the Divine Weapon Valley all year round, and there are quite a few disciples and elders who have retreated with broken hands and legs.
These, the due pension will not be less, and the sect will have to support them for the rest of their lives. This is also the rule of the Divine Weapon Valley.
"These retired old guys are ignored most of the time, but their potential power is not small..." Li Yuan never underestimated anyone, especially these old guys who could still retire after a deadly battle.
In the next few days, Li Yuan lived a very fulfilling life.
Every day before dawn, he would practice the art of fighting with the killing hammer in the yard. At dawn, he would go to the Forging Valley to forge iron and repair the 80,000-year-old giant hammer.
With his forging skills, slight damage is nothing.
Go home in the evening, have a meal and take a medicinal bath, send Yu Xiang and the others away, then control the little green snake's basic plan and continue to modify the root bones. Perhaps this is the reason why the root bones have been modified many times, although the pain is still unbearable every time. , but the progress is much faster than initially.
After being exhausted, Li Yuan swallowed the pill, leaned on the bedside, flipped through the books, and memorized the words silently, word by word.
He believes that the essence of Zhang Weapon lies in the years of blessings, which will eventually digest all the effects and completely integrate them into himself. Corresponding to the blessing of the introduction to the art of weaponry, Li Yuan was eager to improve himself rapidly.
"Senior Brother Li!"
On this day, as soon as Li Yuan left the house, an outer disciple hurriedly came over and bowed to salute. "The elder in charge is back and he sent me to inform senior brother."
"Elder Sun is back?" Li Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.
He has not yet fully accepted the true reward. Liu Zheng will take care of the fields, shops, houses, mines, etc. He doesn't need the horses for the time being, and he can save some fodder money by leaving them in the stables.
As for the famous six-spirited boots and the three God-preserving Small Return Pills, he had to go to the Shenbing Pavilion to get them in person. He had been there once before, but the chief elder Sun Zan was away, so it had been postponed until now.
"Thank you, junior brother!"
Li Yuan had been thinking about this reward for a long time, and immediately went to the Shenbing Pavilion with the disciple.
The Shenbing Pavilion is still heavily guarded above the library. There are several groups of disciples wearing heavy armor patrolling in the distance, and there seem to be hidden sentries all around.
"Brother Shaofang?"
From a distance, Li Yuan saw Shao Fang Bai. The latter's face was slightly stiff and he raised his hands in salute: "Senior Brother Li."
"Brother Shaofang, where are you coming from?"
Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the luggage on his body and was a little surprised.
The Bai family behind Shaofang Bai has a fortune of tens of millions, so he will definitely not go on a mission just for pills and silver. "Several brothers and sisters were dumped in the Grand Canal, and the elders sent people to track them down. I am one of them."
Shaofang Bai's face was expressionless, and he obviously had no intention of talking. He said something and left quickly. "Another disciple was killed?"
Li Yuan frowned slightly. He had heard about similar things at least four or five times during this period. Considering the status and power of Shenbing Valley in Zhelong Mansion, this was obviously abnormal...
"Li Yuan?"
From the small courtyard on one side of the Shenbing Pavilion, a rather elegant old man with a goatee walked out. "Elder Sun."
Li Yuan held his hand.
The Shenbing Pavilion is an important place in the valley, and the status of the person in charge here is naturally very high. Although this person is not connected, he is the brother-in-law of Gong Yangyu, the owner of the valley.
The true disciples of the elders of the inner and outer sects have to give him some face.
"There is no need to go to the Shenbing Pavilion. I have brought all your things for you!" Elder Sun smiled and invited him into the hospital.
"Accept it on your behalf?" Li Yuan frowned.
The most famous weapons in the Shenbing Pavilion are famous weapons, but there are also gaps between famous weapons. Furthermore, how can there be any reason for anyone to accept the things that were rewarded to him in the valley?
Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yuan did not show any signs of attack and followed him into the small courtyard.
The yard is not small, with three entrances inside and outside. There are six unknown fruit trees planted in the outermost yard, which have already produced fist-sized green fruits.
"I have long heard that there is a true dragon-shaped creature in the valley. When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved!"
Elder Sun smiled warmly and invited Li Yuan into the room. A beautiful young woman held a teapot and poured tea for the two of them. "This tea, I have, is the finest moso bamboo in the mountains. One tael of tea leaves and one tael of gold. How do you like it?" Elder Sun said enthusiastically. After receiving the invitation, Li Yuan smiled and took the tea cup, full of praise.
"Dragon-shaped root bone. I haven't seen such a talented disciple in the valley for seventy years. I really envy me!" Sun Zan was full of praise, but seemed to have forgotten the real thing. What does this old guy want to do?
Li Yuan's heart felt slightly cold. Sun Zan didn't mention the reward, and he didn't mention it either. He followed around in circles, asking about various things inside and outside the valley, and inside and outside the city.
"I heard that the Valley Master has a group of snow-traveling red dragon horses, which are worth thousands of gold..."
"By the way, I wonder if the elders know that there is any dispute between the family teacher and Elder Jingda?" "Elder Kuyue...Elder Qiu..."
Sun Zan's eyelids twitched and he lost his temper. Why did this kid keep asking about other people's private affairs? He knew that he knew this, but if he spread the word, he would be blocked in the door and beaten violently.
"Ahem!"
Sun Zan coughed slightly and said, "It's too far, too far."
"To be fair to the elder, Li is quite curious about these things. By the way, I heard that when the Valley Master was young..." "Ahem!"
Sun Zan almost choked and interrupted quickly:
"Speaking of which, in a few days, I will hold a banquet at the Baiwei Tower in Fucheng to celebrate my sixtieth birthday. I don't know..." Sixty birthday?
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and responded: "If the elder invites you, Li will naturally go!" Do you want him to give a gift?
Li Yuan changed his mind, but felt something was wrong.
With Sun Zan's status, how can he value the money of giving gifts... "Oh!"
Sun Zan slapped his forehead, feeling quite annoyed:
"I have a bad memory as I get older. I almost forget the important things!"
He turned into the inner room, and after a while, he came out carrying a heavy hammer, and the beautiful woman was holding a tray with armored boots and a bottle of elixirs.
"This hammer?"
Li Yuan thought it was like a hammer, but he was surprised when he took a glance at it.
This heavy hammer was as tall as a man. It was green and black, with fine lines and smooth lines. It was heavy but did not feel bloated. He reached out to take it, weighed it for a moment, and was actually very satisfied:
[Mixed Gold Daxi Yi Hammer (Level 4)]
[Mainly red and white mysterious jade, mixed with various metals, made of quenching the blood of hundreds of beasts, heavy but not very heavy...]
[Conditions for mastering: any superior hammer method, Dacheng, medium hammer method, perfect, inferior hammer method, great perfection, bear, tiger, and huge strength] [Controller effect: Hammer method talent (light yellow) Heavy as a stone (dark green) Physical talent (light
