Li Nianfan bowed and said with a smile, "Hello, may I know your general's name?"
"Mr. Li, my name is Huo Da." Huo Da said respectfully.
He was a little nervous. Mr. Li was a person of the highest rank in the eyes of the king. The reason why he was arranged to recruit soldiers here was because this place was close to Mr. Li, and he was afraid that someone who didn't know the seriousness of the matter would bump into Mr. Li.
Open-minded?
This is a good name, and he is a burly general. He looks like a lucky general.
Li Nianfan laughed, "What a good name."
"Mr. Li, your plan last time was really amazing. If it were me, I would never have thought of it even if I racked my brains." Huo Da said sincerely.
He was a rough man, who was OK at fighting on the battlefield, but had no idea about strategies. He admired Li Nianfan to the core for being able to come up with a clever way to defeat force.
"I just provide a direction. The details of the implementation are actually up to your king." Li Nianfan shook his head and asked casually, "How is the war going?"
"Not very good."
Huoda looked around, sighed, and whispered, "The southern barbarians are naturally strong, and this time they are coming with great force, and they are unstoppable all the way!"
Li Nianfan's face changed slightly, "Could it be that they couldn't be stopped even once?"
"If we could stop them, it would be fine, but we can't stop them!" Huoda's face was full of worry, "This matter can't wait any longer, so the king ordered to recruit soldiers and horses everywhere. We can't let the southern barbarians go on like this."
The first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.
If the Nanmanzi continues like this, their morale will only get higher and higher, and the pressure on their opponents will also get higher and higher. As long as they can stop him once, they can discourage their opponents and break the deadlock.
Huoda told them another piece of news, "Mr. Li, in addition to the mortals, many sects have been destroyed."
"But was it done by the so-called demon?" Li Nianfan asked.
He now knows that this demon is actually an existence that is against the cultivators, and the so-called demon sealing in Qingyun Valley may also be related to the demon.
To put it simply, the immortals live in the immortal world in the sky, and the demons live in the demon world underground. Immortals and demons cannot coexist, that's right.
"That's them!" Huoda's tone was a little angry, "What a wolfish ambition!"
Li Nianfan frowned slightly, feeling a little panicked.
This sign, is it not going to be a war between immortals and demons?
If a real fight breaks out, I am just an ordinary person, not even a cannon fodder, and I may die without knowing how I died.
It's so unfortunate to die so suddenly after finally having a lifespan of a thousand years!
Li Nianfan looked at the little red bird on his shoulder, hugging thighs, and hugging a few more thighs quickly!
He pondered for a moment, noticed the sword on Huo Da's waist, and said, "General Huo, can you lend me your sword?"
Huo Da took it off without thinking, "Mr. Li, take it."
"Dang!"
Li Nianfan pulled out the sword, glanced at it roughly, and frowned slightly.
Huo Da's status should be not low, so his weapon must not be too bad, but even so, the blade has been slightly curled and the blade has been worn a lot.
Li Nianfan could tell at a glance that the main material of the knife was steel.
However... the forging process still had a lot of room for improvement.
He was good friends with Zhou Yunwu, and those demons were obviously not good people, so it was reasonable for him to help them.
Li Nianfan said, "General Huo, do you believe me? In fact, this knife can be even harder and sharper!"
"Really?" Huo Da's eyes suddenly lit up, without any doubt, and he hurriedly said, "Young Master Li is a god, of course I can trust Young Master Li!"
"Come with me."
Huo Da hurriedly said to his men, "Hurry up and call all the blacksmiths around here!"
Li Nianfan saw it and secretly praised him in his heart. This guy is a rough but meticulous general.
At the same time, on a high platform of the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty.
Although it is a long way from Luoxian City, as an immortal cultivator, even if you stand here, you can still have a panoramic view of the entire Luoxian City.
At this time, Luo Huang, Zhong Xiu and Luo Shiyu were all on this high platform, but behind them, there was another person standing.
This person was surrounded by a layer of black mist, and there was some red in his eyes.
He said, "Luo Huang, I know that you also participated in the destruction of the Liu family. Tell me who the immortal in the mortal world is? Does he have anything to do with the change of heaven and earth?"
Luo Huang's face was pale, staring at the man and said, "Who are you? Are you from... the immortal world?"
"Not bad! This is just one of my avatars, which barely has the cultivation of a celestial being."
The man laughed, "This matter is of great relevance. You are just a cultivator, there is no need to keep this secret. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you tell me, I can spare your family's lives. Otherwise, I will let my descendants suck the blood of your wife and daughter in front of you! When the time comes, you will die very ugly!"
A closer look revealed that there was a tiny black mosquito biting the necks of Luo Huang and the other two. The long pointed mouth and red eyes made people afraid.
They were all impatient and filled with a desire for blood.
"Give up, I won't tell anyone!"
Emperor Luo's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "I am indeed just a small cultivator, but I am not afraid to tell you that you are also an ant in front of such a figure! Let me warn you, you can't afford to offend that person!"
"Hahaha, a mere ant, dares to measure the strength of an immortal? He's just an immortal stranded in the mortal world. If it weren't for the great changes in the world, I wouldn't even be interested in him!" The man laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and then his face suddenly darkened, "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!"
But at this moment, Emperor Luo and the other two looked at the bottom of the platform, their expressions suddenly changed, with a hint of excitement and piety.
The man raised his eyebrows and followed their gaze.
There were many people gathered there, but the star was an ordinary boy.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he watched the changes quietly.
Li Nianfan came to the door of the blacksmith shop and greeted, "Boss Feng."
The boss of the blacksmith shop was a middle-aged man who was forging iron. When he saw Li Nianfan, he smiled and said, "Young Master Li."
In the shop, there were some young men who were helping.
They saw the soldiers who came in with Li Nianfan and were a little nervous.
Li Nianfan smiled slightly, "Boss Feng, can I borrow the furnace?"
"No problem." Boss Feng put down his work and asked curiously, "Master Li also knows how to forge iron?"
"I know a thing or two."
Boss Feng was immediately amazed, "It's amazing, Master Li knows everything except being a mortal!"
Haha, you really know how to praise people.
Li Nianfan looked at the long sword in his hand, and then put it into the furnace for melting.
The so-called steel is actually formed by iron and carbon. Every hammering is also for carburization, which is the process of steel refining.
Seeing that the long sword was slightly softened, Li Nianfan picked up the hammer beside him and hit it casually.
"Hit the iron!"
This is also shaping, and the steps are not much different from ordinary iron forging.
But after hammering for a while, Li Nianfan picked up the liquid beside him and poured it on the long sword.
The faces of the surrounding blacksmiths changed slightly, and Boss Feng couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Li, this is raw iron."
The so-called raw iron refers to the liquid cast iron obtained by smelting the original ore, which has a high carbon content and impurities.
"I know." Li Nianfan continued to strike the long sword, explaining: "My method is called steel pouring! It is to smelt raw iron and wrought iron!"
"Raw iron has a higher carbon content, while wrought iron has the characteristics of containing more oxides. The oxygen in wrought iron is used to oxidize the silicon, manganese and carbon in raw iron, causing intense "boiling", which can remove the purpose of the magazine."
This is a chemical reaction, but obviously, the people around did not understand.
They all showed an expression of confusion.
As for Huo Da, he actually took out a piece of paper and was writing and drawing on it, frowning, "Mr. Li, can you repeat it again, is this how the egg content is written?"
This is a task assigned by the king. Mr. Li's wise words must be memorized. Even if you don't understand, you can take it back and discuss it with the military advisor.
Li Nianfan ignored him and hammered on his own.
"Ding ding ding!"
The hammer head is very heavy, but in Li Nianfan's hand, it seems to be light, as if it has no weight, as if it implies a certain rhythm, constantly up and down.
Sparks flew everywhere, beautiful and incomparable.
Huo Feng stared blankly, with an incredible look in his eyes.
Although she had known that Li Nianfan was omnipotent, she had never thought that he could even forge iron, and that each of his moves was in perfect harmony with the heaven and earth. Even the sound of forging iron contained the sound of the Great Dao.
It was as if... the heaven and earth were accompanying him.
Moreover, she did not understand what Li Nianfan had just said.
This showed that the Great Dao contained in it was far beyond her realm, and she was not even qualified to touch it.
"Huh?"
On the high platform, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the man, "To be able to have such a perception, he is definitely not an ordinary mortal!"
He looked at Luo Huang and the other two and sneered, "Could this person be the immortal?"
Luo Huang's expression did not change, and he shook his head calmly and said, "No."
The man smiled jokingly, "Whether it is or not, we will know later!"
As soon as the voice fell, a black light flashed on his body, and he immediately jumped out of the high platform, transformed into a black mosquito, and flew towards Li Nianfan.
There was a bloodthirsty light in its eyes.
If this person is an immortal, with such a deep understanding of Tao, then I can suck a tube of his blood, even if this clone is destroyed, it will not be a loss. If this person is just a mortal, then I have no loss, and I can suck him to death directly.
"Ding ding ding!"
With the beating, the long sword began to gradually take shape.
Li Nianfan said solemnly: "There is a step that you often skip, but in fact... this step is crucial! That is quenching!"
As soon as the voice fell, he soaked the long sword in his hand directly into a tank of water next to him.
"Zi——"
Thick smoke rolled, and the water in the tank kept boiling.
"Quenching can make the weapon hard and flexible."
Li Nianfan took the long sword out of the water, bent the blade slightly, and actually bent it to 90 degrees!
When the towel was wiped along the blade, suddenly... the sharp edge was like a dusty pearl shining again, illuminating the surroundings!
Li Nianfan smiled slightly and handed the long sword to Huo Da, "General Huo, are you satisfied with this sword?"
"Good sword, good sword!"
Huo Da's eyes lit up, and he was almost crazy about the sword.
For a general, the sword is his second life, like his hands and feet!
The blacksmiths around were stunned, all showing unbelievable expressions, which overturned their cognition, "How could this be?"
Boss Feng couldn't wait to take out one of his own swords and said, "General, why don't you try to chop it?"
Huo Da nodded, took a deep breath, and raised the sword.
With a sound of "clang", the sword actually broke!
"Hiss——"
Everyone took a breath of cold air. Just making such a small change actually produced a qualitative change.
"Mr. Li, this, this..." Boss Feng looked at Li Nianfan and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"Good sword, good sword!"
"God, Mr. Li is really a god."
"God's skill, it's simply god's skill!"
Not to mention them, even Daji and Huofeng were stunned.
Although no matter which sword they were, they were not in their eyes, but the power of this one was really too much, and the materials used were the most common materials. Just a slight change could make such a big improvement.
Immortals have the ability to turn stones into gold. It turns out that mortals can also do the same with the help of the principles of heaven and earth!
Is this the boss? He is so unfathomable!
This is definitely related to the principles of heaven and earth that the master just talked about!
Alas, it's a pity that we can't understand it at all, especially the egg content. What does it mean?
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about the principles. You just need to know that the weapons made in this way will be stronger and sharper, and the toughness will be better."
Huo Da was so excited that he couldn't be more excited. His face turned red and his whole body was shaking.
Finally, he got excited and knelt on one knee in front of Li Nianfan. "Mr. Li, you have benefited thousands of soldiers! On behalf of all the soldiers who fought, thank you!"
"Wow!"
Behind him, the soldiers also knelt down together, looking at Li Nianfan with sincerity and gratitude in their eyes.
Li Nianfan quickly helped Huo Da up and said, "General Huo, you are too polite. I am helping you and myself at the same time. If you win, I can live a peaceful life."
Huo Da immediately said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. With this knife, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Buzz buzz buzz."
At this time, Li Nianfan's ears rang with a series of soft sounds.
Then, he felt his neck slightly numb, and something fell on it.
He frowned, raised his hand and slapped his neck, then pinched it, and it turned out to be a huge mosquito.
"Wow, what a big mosquito!" He was surprised. It was indeed a world of immortal cultivation. There were actually such big mosquitoes, which must be half the size of a little finger.
The mosquito was confused, and it seemed that it couldn't believe the fact that it was caught. The demonic power in its body burst out, and it struggled frantically, trying to break free.
However, at this time, it was horrified to find that the demonic power in its body was invisible at this moment!
However, this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was... its original power was actually stripped away!
Originally, it was just a clone. Even if it died, it would at most suffer some losses. Therefore, it was very brave.
But now, for some reason, its original power is actually converging on the body of this clone.
In other words, now it has forcibly changed from a clone to its original body, and once it dies, it will really die!
This... How is this possible? !
Who is he and why does he have such a method?
How can such a situation exist in the world?
Pitiable, helpless, and desperate.
It couldn't believe it, it wanted to question, it wanted to beg for mercy, but it couldn't even speak.
It seemed that it really turned into an ordinary mosquito.
Suddenly, it remembered what Luo Huang said, that in front of such a person, it was really just an ant!
Unfortunately, it was too late to turn back.
"I don't like mosquitoes."
"Click."
Li Nianfan slapped it casually, and lightly ended the ugly life of this mosquito.
