In its view, Lu Ran is already a mature fourth-generation beastmaster.

It believed that if it told Lu Ran the key information, Lu Ran would find a way to conquer the secret realm on his own.

No one else needs to worry about it.

Assisting Lu Ran and helping him figure out how to conquer the legendary secret realm is not Manager Ying’s style.

"I'm just a bodyguard, not a babysitter. A fourth-generation beastmaster needs to go through trials and learn to be independent before he can grow into a strong man."

"Huh? Didn't we agree to be partners? How did I become a bodyguard?"

…

"Next, clearing the first level legendary secret realm alone is the highest priority task."

After Manager Ying left, Lu Ran fell into deep thought again.

How can I solo the Diamond Dragon?

First of all, the defense of King of Sudden Death must be strong enough to withstand multiple rounds of attacks and create opportunities for Mr. Ha to attack.

This requires its thunder dragon armor to become harder.

This is very easy to achieve. All you have to do next is to keep feeding the dragon food and increase the level of the dragon's artistic conception.

In addition, it is to let it integrate energy compression and energy flow techniques into the Thunder Dragon Armor.

Well... that's all the uses of the King of Sudden Death.

Secondly.

On Mr. Ha's side, the attack must be strong enough. The previous level of breaking the defense is simply not enough!

To improve Mr. Ha's attack power, you can roughly start from two aspects.

First of all, in terms of skills, Lu Ran felt that there was not much room for improvement in energy compression in a short period of time. More than twenty times of energy compression was already the limit. This level had almost cost Mr. Ha his life.

Therefore, the next step is to improve the power of Mr. Ha’s skills from the sword intent aspect.

Just like Lu Ran said just now, it is a good choice to increase the level of Dragon Slaying Sword Intent by feeding it dragon food.

This process allows Mr. Ha and the King of Death to fight each other, one to increase the experience of slaying dragons, and the other to exercise defense.

Next, the most effective way to improve General Ha’s combat effectiveness is to improve the quality of weapons.

Honestly speaking, although the Ice Sky Greatsword is good, it is just a rare weapon worth tens of thousands of crystal coins. Among the rare quality equipment, it is just ordinary stuff and has long been unworthy of Mr. Ha's status.

If he could get a rare sword, then Mr. Ha's strength would definitely have a qualitative leap.

But the problem is, Master Lin said that currently in Xia, there is no blacksmith who has similar forging experience.

Since there are no high-level beastmasters using swords in Xia Country, there naturally won't be any blacksmiths who are idle enough to use rare minerals to forge swords. If they fail and the materials are scrapped, it would be a complete waste of money.

This is also the reason why Lu Ran came to learn forging in person.

Obviously, if Lu Ran waits until he learns forging by himself, it will be too late.

Can't wait.

So, let's try to find someone to forge it.

At worst, I would just need a sword with simple functions and good enough quality. It doesn't have to be complicated, as long as the quality is up to standard, it's always better than the Ice Sky Greatsword.

In fact, in addition to this road, Lu Ran also has a bold idea.

Is there any natural rare mineral that looks like a sword?

For example, a natural mineral resource that looks like a sword, the Sword of Stone...

With the wonders of nature, it is entirely possible. There are even natural stones that look like humans and animals, so it is not impossible for a rare mineral to appear that looks like a sword.

Mr. Ha's talent as the king of swords does not require him to hold a real sword. As long as it looks reasonable, Mr. Ha believes it can be used as a sword. Even a kitchen knife or a branch can be a sword.

With its IQ, it can be said that it has perfectly reached the state of "there is a sword in the heart, and everything is a sword".

It would be much easier if there was such a natural resource.

Lu Ran borrowed it to use, and he didn't have to face the situation of forging failure or processing failure, avoiding damage to the material. Similarly, the rare natural sword would definitely improve Mr. Ha more than the Ice Sky Great Sword. After using it, he could return it, saving money and effort...

If the deer antlers were not too short and did not look like a sword, or even a dagger, Lu Ran would have wanted Mr. Ha to hold the deer antlers in his mouth and fight like a dagger.

There is no need to worry about the world-class ore being damaged in battle. The mineral smelting process for forging world-class weapons is quite difficult. With a combat level of level 20, the mineral cannot break the defense.

The only thing the borrower should worry about is that a newcomer might die in the secret realm with such expensive resources, and all the resources would be wasted.

If the other party is worried, Lu Ran can just write an IOU and buy it himself...

Thinking about it this way, Lu Ran felt that it was possible. Making a rare natural sword would undoubtedly be the safest and most cost-effective approach.

As for how to get it, Lu Ran thought of Master Lin, who must have a way.

He called Master Lin.

As the school term was about to start, he no longer ran his own forge and stayed in Sky City.

After receiving Lu Ran's call, a surprised voice came from the other end: "Professor Lu, how come you have time to contact me?"

Master Lin can be said to be very emotional during this period.

Damn it, who would have thought that a weird fourth-generation who came to forge swords for dogs would now become the strongest fourth-generation in the Xia Kingdom.

He also became the only dragon chef! This was much more prestigious than his status as a forging master.

"Master Lin, stop making trouble, just call me Passerby A."

"Are you in Sky City? I'll come find you."

"Hey, come on, come on, I just happen to have something to talk to you about."

Soon, Lu Ran arrived at Master Lin’s professor villa.

Master Lin had already been sitting outside in the yard drinking juice, waiting for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran also sat over and got straight to the point:

"Uh." Master Lin was stunned and fell into deep thought.

"You asked me that."

"As far as I can remember, there really is no such thing."

Lu Ran was stunned and said, "No."

"If you're talking about a rare plant that looks like a sword, I know where I can find it."

"As for ore, there really is none."

"Plants? What are those?" Although Lu Ran felt that plants were not appropriate, he still asked subconsciously.

"Well, how should I put it?"

"Currently, there are four major worlds in the breakthrough secret realm connected to Infinite City. Do you know that?" Master Lin looked at Lu Ran and said, "On the Xingyue Continent, pets are mainly animal life."

"In addition, there are three other worlds, dominated by 'elemental races', 'plant races' and 'mechanical races' respectively."

"Among them, we have had the most contact with the Star-Moon Continent, and less contact with the other three worlds, pitifully little. We have only had contact with the Mechanical World once, and most of the Beast Tamers died there, and their lives were extremely miserable."

"Although it's rare, there are still some contacts. In the plant world, plants evolve much faster than animals. Animals are just food for plants. This is completely the opposite of the situation on Blue Star and Star-Moon Continent where animals use plants as resources."

"In that plant world, there is a plant called Long-Leaf Sword Grass. It is famous for its sword-like appearance. Before it evolved consciousness, it was a rare plant. Of course, it was not a rare plant resource that would benefit pets if eaten. Instead, it was a dangerous plant."

"In that world, most of the powerful plant life is fierce."

"Long-leaf sword grass grows in grasslands. It is not afraid of fire, has high toughness, and is extremely sharp. It cannot be destroyed by ordinary forces. If you accidentally touch it, you will either die or be injured. Even a dragon species does not want to be scratched by long-leaf sword grass."

"You know, currently all countries on Blue Star have been studying how to create mechanical pets, plant pets, and elemental pets...

Although you cannot bring out higher life forms when you enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm, you can bring out normal plant resources.”

"So there were beast masters who had entered the plant world and dug out plants with the potential to evolve and awaken consciousness from the secret realm and replanted them in the outside world, hoping that after cultivation in the outside world, they could evolve into plant pets."

"Of course, obviously, no one has succeeded yet."

"That's off topic. What I want to say is that I know of someone who went to great lengths to dig up a long-leaf sword grass and has been cultivating it ever since."

"If this thing can evolve consciousness and become a plant life pet, it will at least be a high-level king race. How about it, does it meet the characteristics of a sword plant?"

“Indeed.” Lu Ran nodded. This long-leaf sword grass reminded him of the blade-shaped grass in the secret realm of the Mantis Forest. The two should be similar plant life.

This stuff is good, but not the best.

"It would be great if someone could bring back a lightsaber from the mechanical world. That would be cooler," Lu Ran said.

Master Lin: ???

"So what are you going to do?"

"You don't want to use sword-shaped minerals or sword-shaped plants as weapons for your Husky, do you?"

"Yes." Lu Ran smiled. "Aren't you planning to conquer the legendary secret realm? If I want to forge it, I'm afraid of wasting materials. Why don't I try the original embryo first? If it doesn't work, I'll find someone to forge it."

"Who knows, there is no mineral embryo, but there is a long-leaf sword grass..."

"Damn." Master Lin said, "You are really good at thinking..."

"Let's not talk about anything else first. Master Lin, who is the beastmaster who planted the long-leaf sword grass?"

Although Lu Ran didn't know whether this thing could be used as a weapon, and didn't know whether the other party was willing to lend it, out of curiosity about plant life, he still planned to visit and take a look.

The Husky holding the long-leaf sword grass in its mouth... feels okay. Although it may hurt itself, there is no need to worry. They have the divine deer pendant, and the cost of trial and error is very low.

Lu Ran pondered, remembering his past regret of not awakening the Grass type for the noob Ha... He always felt that something was missing.

"He's a second-generation beastmaster. He's also in Sky City. He's a professor in the cultivation department and a botanist... I'll give you his contact information later." Master Lin no longer cared about what Lu Ran thought.

"Okay, by the way, Master Lin, you just said you wanted to see me, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes." Master Lin said, "I thought about it. You have beast control skills like Yan Ling. You are much better than other students in the forging department in terms of starting forging skills. Studying and attending classes with them will definitely slow down your progress."

"So I thought, why don't you just stop going to class and I'll teach you forging privately. What do you think?"

"Absolutely." Lu Ran said immediately after hearing it.

"Okay! That's settled then." Master Lin laughed and said, "By the way, I have a book of inscription combinations here, which I keep privately. You can take it and have a look first."

"Three major steps of forging..."

"The last step is to use the 'Inscription Stone' to carve an inscription on the forged object. This will guide the various materials to perfectly blend and connect with each other so that they can fit the forged object."

"The first two steps are not a problem for you who possesses the Flame Spirit and has considerable strength, so you just need to put more effort into carving the inscriptions."

…

After Lu Ran left Master Lin, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number given by Master Lin.

After a moment, a hoarse female voice was heard from the other side.

"Who?"

"Professor Ye, I'm Lu Ran."

"Who is Lu Ran... Hmm? Lu Ran, the one who won the freshman competition?" The other party was obviously surprised and asked, "That chef Long, Professor Lu?"

"Yes...it's me."

"Professor Ye, are you free? I have something I want to ask of you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" The other party was puzzled as to why Lu Ran was looking for him.

At the same time, Lu Ran, who was holding a mobile phone, had a serious expression on his face.

It's nothing, I just want to try out your precious experiment and see if you can let my Husky pick it up and use it as a real sword.
