Chapter 97: Precious Sword

Fang Zhixing did not explain, but silently pointed to his system panel and let Xigou look at it himself.

When the thin dog took a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up straight with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Rough, what's going on?"

The dog was shocked and took two steps forward, yelling, "What did you do? How did you make this thing?"

Fang Zhixing raised his long sword and said thoughtfully: "I didn't do anything. After I upgraded to a blacksmith, I picked up the sword and this automatically appeared on the system panel."

Xigou took a look and said in disbelief: "It seems that as long as you meet those five conditions, you can directly upgrade this second-level inferior long sword to a second-level top-grade long sword."

It seems like that!

No need for smelting, no need for redesign, no need for repeated forging...

All the intermediate processes were omitted! Directly reaching the maximum level, all in one step! Xigou couldn't believe it and smacked his lips, "Can you still play like this with a maximum level cheat? It's too outrageous!"

Fang Zhixing was eager to try, and said excitedly: "Let's try it tomorrow."

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Fang Zhixing got up early and pushed the door open.

Alas~ The cold wind is as sharp as a knife, blowing on people's faces, causing dull pain.

The ground was covered with snow, the roofs were all white, and strings of icicles hung from the eaves...

The whole city is covered in silver!

Fang Zhixing was still wearing his short tights, only adding a cloak on the outside to keep warm.

He was strong and full of vigor, so this little chill was nothing to him.

“Wangwang!”

The thin dog was even happier. It ran into the snow and rolled around like crazy. It didn't feel cold at all. Instead, it felt extremely comfortable and never got tired of it.

"Well, no riding today, let's walk."

Fang Zhixing was in a good mood and walked on the snow, which made a crackling sound and was very interesting.

He walked out of the yamen, leaving a trail of footprints on the empty street that stretched into the distance.

Soon, at the corner of the street!

Two people appeared and watched Fang Zhixing and Xigou walk away.

A young man with a broken eyebrow and a pair of short knives on his waist touched the moustache under his nose and gestured, "Look, that person is Fang Zhixing you are looking for."

His name is Xu Xiaodao, the leader of the Xiaodao Gang.

People who are familiar with him know that he prefers to use knives, especially the pair of "Eight-cut Knives" on his waist.

The other man was also a young man, with a long face, a goat beard, narrow eyes, and an exceptionally strong body.

The long-faced young man stared at Fang Zhixing, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

Xu Xiaodao asked: "Huzi, can you tell me now why you want to investigate Fang Zhixing?"

The long-faced man is called Zhang Hu. He and Xu Xiaodao used to beg for food together when they were young, and they have a life-and-death friendship.

After growing up, they went their separate ways. One became Xu Dazhi's godson, and the other joined the Black Tiger Gate.

If we count by camp, they are both in the enemy camp and should not have any contact with each other.

But nothing is absolute...

Zhang Hu sighed and explained, "About two months ago, two incense masters from Yunhu Hall went to the Black Wind Forbidden Land to hunt silver-backed roasted horned deer and collect spirit deer blood. No one had expected that twenty-two people would go and none of them would return without a single reply.

We at Yunhu Hall took this matter very seriously and quickly sent people to investigate, confirming that the 22 people never came out after entering the Black Wind Forbidden Land."

Xu Xiaodao said with a click of his tongue: "If they don't come out of a forbidden area, it means they must be dead!"

"yes!"

Zhang Hu spread his hands and said, "That's the problem. How could a group of hunters who are strong and experienced, and led by two python masters, all die?"

Xu Xiaodao paused for a moment, then said with a change of expression: "Well, even if they encountered an extremely powerful beast, it is impossible for them to be completely wiped out. There will always be one or two who can escape."

Zhang Hu agreed and nodded, "That's right, so we are sure that they were most likely killed by someone."

Xu Xiaodao blinked and asked in surprise: "Why are you investigating Fang Zhixing? Could it be that he did this?"

Zhang Hulian said: "We found out that before and after the 22 people disappeared, only one expert appeared in the Black Wind Forbidden Zone, and that was Fang Zhixing.

Moreover, it is rumored that Fang Zhixing is an excellent archer and once shot and killed 15 pirates by himself!"

Xu Xiaodao's heart skipped a beat and he said in horror, "This is terrible! If it is confirmed that Fang Zhixing did this, I'm afraid that the Iron Mountain Sect and the Black Tiger Sect will fight again, and this time there will definitely be a river of blood."

Zhang Hu agreed with this and lowered his voice to say, "One of the two dead incense masters was named Gao Dachuan, the son of Gao Liansheng, the deputy leader of our Black Tiger Sect. This matter cannot be easily revealed."

Xu Xiaodao understood. He was not afraid of the death of 22 people, but the death of a big shot's son! Zhang Hu took a deep breath and said, "Xiaodao, you must help me. I'm betting my future on this matter."

Xu Xiaodao thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Hu had an idea in mind, and said, "Fang Zhixing is quite capable, and he has been staying in the city all the time, so we can't do anything to him for now.

However, we found out that there was a person who was traveling with Fang Zhixing named Liang Buqing, who was from the Casting Army Hall.

Liang Buqing must know whether Fang Zhixing is the murderer or not."

"Liang Buqing?"

Xu Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression changed.

…

…

Fang Zhixing went straight to the forging room.

It was cold outside, but the forge was steaming hot.

The temperature at the door was alternating between hot and cold, with white steam rising.

"Morning, Master Fang Xiang!"

"Master Fang Xiang, you are here!"

In the forging room, most of the blacksmiths had already arrived and were busy with their own work. When they saw Fang Zhixing, they all nodded and bowed to greet him.

"Well, good morning!"

Fang Zhixing nodded as a greeting, took off his cloak and threw it aside, then drew his sword and threw it into the fire.

Then, he went to the warehouse to help Mo Tongjing pick up a batch of forging materials.

In the process, he took some extra materials.

The consumption of forging materials has always been very large. If you are not careful, a furnace of materials may be wasted.

Although someone records how much is received, no one cares if someone takes more or less.

As a result, Fang Zhixing obtained the iron, mithril and gold very smoothly, and for free.

Time passes by little by little.

Half an hour passed before I knew it.

[Second-level inferior long sword·The conditions required for full level have been met, do you want to upgrade? ]

The system panel flashed with light.

Fang Zhixing's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He immediately took out the red-hot sword and put it aside to cool.

Afterwards, he pretended to go to the toilet, came outside, and slipped into a secluded corner.

The thin dogs guard the entrances and exits to help keep watch.

Fang Zhixing quickly piled the long sword, iron, mithril and gold together, and then took a deep breath.

The little dog couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Hurry up and start!"

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "Do you think this knife will have any effect on me when it is upgraded?"

Xigou shuddered and replied, "You mean, when this knife is upgraded, you may also be reset once?"

Fang Zhixing nodded. He stretched out his left little finger and lightly scratched the blade. A trace of bright red immediately seeped out.

"Try it, upgrade!"

After a moment's thought, Fang Zhixing and Xigou stared at the items on the ground with wide eyes.

The long sword, iron, mithril and gold all vibrated slightly, attracting each other like magnets.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing's eyes blurred! The four objects on the ground suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, a silver-gray long sword appeared in front of his eyes as if out of thin air.

"Done?!"

Fang Zhixing was shocked. The new sword had a different color and thicker blade, but its outline and length remained almost unchanged.

"Damn, this is too outrageous!"

The dog smacked his lips in amazement. "It's no exaggeration to say that this is made out of nothing. It's outrageous!"

“Huh~”

Fang Zhixing calmed himself down, suppressed his excited heartbeat, slowly picked up the knife, and held it horizontally with the blade facing upwards.

Then he picked up a strand of hair, held it in the air, and let it go.

The hair slowly fell down and landed on the blade.

Suddenly, the hair broke and broke into two pieces silently.

"Blowing hair off!!!"

Xigou was stunned and exclaimed, "Wow, you barely did anything and you upgraded to a level 2 top-quality sword."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but be deeply moved. He raised his left hand and looked at his little finger.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There is not even a scratch!!

"I'm well again!"

Fang Zhixing was sure that when the long sword was upgraded, his body would be refreshed and reset simultaneously, and any injuries would be instantly repaired.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing sheathed his sword, stood up and returned to the forging room, walking to the casting table.

He reached out and picked up a long knife.

This long sword is a first-class weapon forged by him personally.

Almost at the moment he touched the long sword, the system panel suddenly flashed with light.

[Long Sword: First-Class Genuine]

[First-class genuine long sword·Full-level conditions:

1. 6.8 kg of refined iron (unfinished) 2. 4.5 kg of wrought iron (unfinished) 3. 2.2 kg of mithril (unfinished) 4. 9 liang of Gengjin (unfinished) 5. Furnace fire calcination of a long sword for more than 1 hour (unfinished)]

"really!"

Fang Zhixing felt extremely happy instantly.

His full-level cheat can upgrade items! The trigger condition is that he knows enough about the item.

For example, the long sword he often used, or the weapons he forged himself!

The dog was completely shocked and shouted, "I follow you every day, can you be kind enough to upgrade me as well?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "I should only be able to upgrade items. You are a living being, not an item!"

The thin dog's ears drooped down, and suddenly, he blinked and said, "Hey, why is there no follow-up? Why haven't the conditions for upgrading the level 2 long sword to level 3 been refreshed?"

Fang Zhixing also noticed this and said thoughtfully: "Based on past experience, there must be a missing trigger condition."

Xigou thought so too.

Regardless of this, Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment and went to the warehouse to collect the materials again.

then!

The five conditions were quickly met.

When he returned home in the evening, he lay in the bathtub, cut his wrists and performed a third bloodletting.

[7. Drain 2 liters of blood from your body 3 times (completed)]

Then, he looked at the first-grade long sword and five materials placed on the table.

"upgrade!"

Fang Zhixing's eyes blurred again, and in a flash, there was only a long sword left on the table, which was another second-level top-grade sword.

At the same time, Fang Zhixing recovered with full health, and the scratch on his wrist healed on its own without any medicine, and he recovered perfectly as before.

Up to this point, there are only three remaining requirements to reach the maximum level of Tiansha Blood Sea Art.

Hunting third-level exotic beasts, Tiansha grass, and Yin snake blood!

Seeing this, Xigou transmitted a message: "Two precious swords are enough. You can go to the Level 3 restricted area now."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then he said thoughtfully, "I'll go to the Weapon Forging Hall tomorrow to forge a few level 2 arrows, and then we'll set out the day after tomorrow."

"good!"

The little dog couldn't wait any longer.

He didn't want to go to the penalty area before, but now he changed his mind.

Because he felt that he had grown a lot and became much stronger, so it was a good opportunity for him to go to the restricted area to test how powerful he was.

…

…

"I have nothing to do today, so I'll listen to some music in the brothel!"

It was already dark, and in the cold wind and falling snow, Hanxiang Tower was still bustling with people.

"Brother Liang, let's go..."

At the street corner, two big men were walking towards them arm in arm. One of them was Liang Buqing, and the other was his good friend Yan Songfa.

The two of them walked towards Hanxiang Tower excitedly, looking excited and impatient.

The reason why they became good friends was because of a common hobby, which was gambling for fun.

Today they were lucky and won a lot of money. They were so happy that they came to Hanxianglou, a den of brothel, to have some fun.

Normally, with their meager income, they dare not come to Hanxianglou at all, as they really cannot afford it.

Soon, the two of them entered Hanxiang Tower. Under the introduction of the madam, each of them brought a young and beautiful entertainer and occupied a table in the hall.

"Mr. Liang has a good alcohol tolerance, please drink more."

The entertainers smiled and drank with him, and Liang Buqing drank very comfortably.

At the same time, in the corridor on the third floor.

Xu Xiaodao and Zhang Hu stood together, looking down at the hall, their eyes fell on Liang Buqing.

Zhang Hu was surprised and asked, "How did you get Liang Buqing here? Could it be that his friend Yan Songfa is your man and you asked Yan Songfa to bring him here?"

"no."

Xu Xiaodao shook his head and said slowly: "I heard that Liang Buqing likes to gamble occasionally. The gambling house he went to was owned by me. I deliberately let him win a large sum of money. After winning the money, they will naturally come to Hanxiang Tower to have fun."

Zhang Hu was immediately convinced and praised sincerely: "Great, what should we do next?"

Xu Xiaodao sneered, "The entertainer next to Liang Buqing is my person. I have put drugs in the wine. She will get him drunk."

Zhang Hu suddenly realized.

…

…

County government office study!

It was late at night. Wen Yuwen opened the door, walked into the study, came to Luo Peiyun, and said with his head down: "Master, something has happened."

Luo Peiyun was reading a book. Hearing this, he did not look up and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Wen Yuwen said, "Three incense masters from the Yunhu Hall led a group of people and sneaked into the city in different places."

"Yunhu Hall?"

Luo Peiyun raised his head slowly and frowned, "What are they going to do?"

Wen Yuwen replied: "From the preliminary investigation, it seems that they are investigating the archery instructor Fang Zhixing."

Luo Peiyun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Why is Yunhu Hall suddenly paying attention to Master Fang?"

Wen Yuwen silently took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over.

Luo Peiyun read it quickly, and the expression on his face became more and more interesting.

"Oh, the two incense masters of Yunhu Hall and twenty disciples disappeared in the Black Wind Forbidden Area. They suspected that Fang Zhixing killed those people."

Luo Peiyun couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

Wen Yuwen said softly, "Master, judging from the clues we have, Yunhutang is not shooting without purpose. Instructor Fang is indeed a big suspect."
