"That won't work." Ye Lanxuan smiled and said, "If you had an ordinary pet, you wouldn't be able to just feed it anything. But exotic beasts, like swordsmen, require enormous amounts of energy to grow and advance. We swordsmen can absorb the power of heaven and earth to improve our cultivation, and we can also consume natural treasures to condense our energy. Such a small exotic beast can't practice yet, so it can only rely on natural treasures to grow and advance. In fact, that's how those untamed exotic beasts in the Longyan Mountains grow."
"Treasures from heaven and earth..." Mu Hanyan's forehead was a little sweaty. You know, some decent treasures from heaven and earth are worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions are not uncommon. No matter how rich she is, she can't use treasures from heaven and earth to feed pigs. Oh, no, not pigs, but auspicious beasts that look like pigs.
More importantly, this is not an ordinary exotic beast, but a legendary auspicious beast. The energy required for its growth must be even greater. How can she afford to raise it?
"Pills can actually work too, and they're more effective." Seeing the cold sweat on Mu Hanyan's forehead, Ye Lanxuan added.
Well, that was equivalent to saying nothing. Mu Hanyan also knew that the effect of the elixir was better than that of the unrefined treasures of heaven and earth, but the price was also more expensive.
Oh, right, Xinghuan Qianji also mentioned last time that he needed elixirs to restore his strength. Xinghuan Qianji, plus a small auspicious beast, and Shang Huayue Zirong's strength progress had also slowed down, and they also needed elixirs. How could they afford it? For a moment, Mu Hanyan also wanted to find someone powerful enough to serve as a lackey. The difference between being supported by someone else and supporting an entire family was just like that.
As for herself, her strength was also improving slowly. Unless she found an ancient treasure like the Destiny Star Plate, she could only rely on elixirs to assist in her cultivation.
Mu Hanyan finally understood why the aristocratic families in the Holy Court Continent were fighting openly and secretly without peace, and also understood why there was an ancient war that led to the destruction of the continent. Everything was for cultivation resources.
Mu Hanyan originally thought that she was proud enough with tens of millions of taels of silver notes on her and the backing of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. Now she realized that she had thought too simply.
You have to know that she is still only at the level of sword master, and Hua Yue and others have not reached the level of sword master yet. As everyone's strength increases, the requirements for training resources are getting higher and higher, which is simply not something that the tens of millions on hand and the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce at this time can handle.
Of course, that was all for the future. At least for now, the strength of the few people was still limited, and she could still handle it, so Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry. Since she had decided to help Mu Nan realize his wish and build the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce into the most powerful chamber of commerce in the Holy Court Continent, the problem of cultivation resources would be solved sooner or later.
After chatting with Ye Lanxun and the others for a while, Mu Hanyan began to ponder the longsword in front of her. Although her strength was a little lacking, she was not one to give up easily. There were still a dozen or so longswords left, and she would not be willing to give up before trying them one by one.
After resting for a while and regaining her strength and spirit, Mu Hanyan tried again.
"Crack." With a slight sound, the long sword in his hand broke into pieces again, and the result was the same as before.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Hua Yue and the others had been curious for a long time, but seeing how focused she was, they didn't dare to ask too much. Seeing that she had scrapped another valuable sword, they couldn't help but ask.
"I want to try and see if I can use my energy to remove impurities from the sword and improve its quality." Mu Hanyan did not hide anything and said frankly.
"That's unlikely." Jiang Yuzhe opened his mouth and looked at Mu Hanyan as if she were a monster. He had never heard of using energy to remove impurities from a sword.
"It is said that in order to remove impurities from the sword, swordsmiths use sword-making furnaces to repeatedly smelt the sword, and even use the power of earth fire to forge it repeatedly. It would be difficult to do it if you only rely on strength." Hua Yue also said thoughtfully.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After hearing Hua Yue's words, Mu Hanyan slapped her forehead.
The reason why the impurities in this sword are difficult to refine is because the gold and stone minerals themselves are too hard. If they are melted at high temperature first, wouldn't they become much softer and easier to refine?
"Let's go out." Mu Hanyan said excitedly.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Yuzhe asked.
"Go buy a sword-making furnace and some charcoal." Mu Hanyan said.
"Sword-making furnace, young master, are you planning to be a blacksmith?" Hua Yue and the others looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, wondering when he developed this hobby.
"It's a swordsmith, not a blacksmith." Mu Hanyan corrected, looking very proud.
To be honest, this was also Miss Mu's dream. Back then, Miss Mu was labeled a natural loser, always wanting to prove herself. She had too many dreams, but like all those unrealistic dreams, after a few days of being smoked by black smoke, this dream was also ruthlessly strangled in the cradle.
However, this is a different time. Relying on the Tianxin skills that have been upgraded several times, Miss Mu has absolute confidence that she can forge a magical weapon that can blow away hair and forge hair, and realize her childhood dream.
There was no trouble this time. Relying on past experience, Mu Hanyan quickly bought a ready-made sword-making furnace from an old blacksmith in the west of the city, and also brought back several carts of charcoal.
"Huayue, Zirong, you two pull the bellows. Yuzhe, you do the blacksmithing. Oh no, it's sword-making." After setting up the sword-making furnace and lighting the fire, Mu Hanyan said to Huayue and the others.
It would be too time-consuming to reforge the sword, so Mu Hanyan decided to use the ten or so existing long swords. After all, they had already been tempered and were of good quality, which could save a lot of effort.
"If you really want to forge iron, I don't know how." Jiang Yuzhe took the hammer handed to him by Mu Hanyan and said while scratching the back of his head.
"It's sword making. If you don't know how, I'll teach you." Mu Hanyan corrected again.
"Okay, let's forge swords." Jiang Yuzhe looked at Huayue and Zirong who were pulling the bellows awkwardly, and then looked at the hammer in his hand. He really doubted what kind of magical weapons this group of swordsmiths who were not even half-baked could forge.
Soon, the long sword in the furnace was burning red. Jiang Yuzhe drew out the long sword and, under the guidance of the great swordsmith Mu, weakly smashed it with hammer after hammer.
"Stop." Mu Hanyan took the slightly deformed sword and practiced the Tianxin technique again.
The energy slowly flowed into the sword, circulated around, and returned to Mu Hanyan's body.
Mu Hanyan was pleasantly surprised to find that after high-temperature calcination, the sword had become much softer, and a few impurities had been refined by her Tianxin Qi. Although it was not very useful in improving her cultivation, the quality of the sword had been significantly improved.
