Two hours passed in a flash.
“It’s still a little worse.”
Blacksmith Zhang looked at the newly forged sword and shook his head.
"I think it's good."
Xiao Chen came forward to take a look, not to flatter, but because it was really good.
Although it is not yet a divine weapon, it is definitely top-notch among semi-divine weapons.
Perhaps it is only a step away from being a divine weapon.
"Take it, go to the Imperial Sea and kill a sea monster, dye it with its blood, and come back to try again."
Blacksmith Zhang thought for a moment and said to his disciple.
"Yes, Master."
Zhang San responded and left with the sword.
"Kill the sea monster? Use its blood?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"Is it possible to make this sword evolve into a divine weapon?"
"Just a glimmer of hope, give it a try."
Blacksmith Zhang smiled.
"In the past, swordsmiths had their own methods to forge divine weapons... Legend has it that there were obsessed swordsmiths who threw themselves into the sword furnace and eventually made divine weapons."
"Use yourself to sacrifice the sword?"
Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched. Isn't this too crazy?
"Um."
Blacksmith Zhang nodded.
"So, some methods can still be tried... Maybe we just lack a trigger. With this trigger, a hint of spirituality can be born."
“It’s really a big subject.”
Xiao Chen sighed.
"Come on, let's go out for tea and continue when he comes back."
After saying this, Blacksmith Zhang walked out.
"good."
Xiao Chen was also looking forward to it, wondering if he could witness the appearance of the magic weapon today.
When he came out, he found that Wang Pingbei was missing.
"Maybe he was bored and went out for a walk."
Xiao Chen said after he sat down.
"Come, have some tea."
Blacksmith Zhang didn't say much and poured tea for Xiao Chen.
About half an hour later, Zhang San came back with a blood-stained sword and a blood-stained crystal core.
"Walk."
Blacksmith Zhang stood up and went back to the room.
The blood-stained sword was burned red again, and the crystal core shattered and fell on the sword.
Xiao Chen looked at it carefully, and soon he realized that this sword... was different.
The sword is still the same sword, but the feeling has changed.
"The magic weapon is completed!"
Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched. This must be a magical weapon.
"It's okay."
Blacksmith Zhang smiled.
“Although I’m not satisfied yet, it’s okay.”
“…”
Xiao Chen curled his lips and said, "Aren't your requirements too high?"
"Come, Chen Xiaoyou, take a look."
Blacksmith Zhang said as he handed the sword to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took it, activated the 'Chaos Art', and focused his consciousness on it, sensing it more clearly.
"Congratulations, senior."
This is indeed a magical weapon!
"Haha, it's not really congratulations, but it doesn't have to be ruined."
Blacksmith Zhang laughed.
“It can be sold now.”
"How about you name a price and sell it to me?"
Xiao Chen said immediately.
"Don't you think Chen Xiaoyou is short of magic weapons?"
Blacksmith Zhang looked at Xiao Chen.
"Haha, even if I don't need it, I still want it when I see it."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"You can name your price."
"Since Chen Xiaoyou wants it, then I'll give him one thousand spirit stones."
Blacksmith Zhang thought for a moment and said.
"Senior, this is no different from giving it away for free."
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Haha, let's make a good relationship."
Blacksmith Zhang shook his head.
"If this can get you to cooperate with me, wouldn't that be great?"
"My seniors have been very helpful to me. Even if they don't cooperate, if they need me to do something, I will not refuse as long as I can do it."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"good."
Blacksmith Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Xiao Chen bought this freshly made magic weapon for five thousand spirit stones.
The price is neither high nor low.
If it’s any higher, Blacksmith Zhang won’t accept it.
If it was too low, Xiao Chen would feel embarrassed to take advantage of it.
But soon, he felt something was wrong. How did Zhang the blacksmith know that he had enough magic weapons?
He had boasted about it in front of the Ghost King. Did the Ghost King tell Zhang the Blacksmith?
In other words, the communication between the Ghost King and Zhang the Blacksmith is quite close?
"The emergence of a divine weapon today is a good sign... I hope that next time, another sword will appear that satisfies me."
Blacksmith Zhang looked at the furnace with some hope.
It has been a long time since he has produced a magical weapon that satisfied him. Now that the Emperor Sea has appeared, maybe this is his chance.
When they came out, Wang Pingbei had already returned.
"Senior, I won't bother you anymore."
"To find Cripple Li?"
Blacksmith Zhang asked.
"Well, go check it out and get to know it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then bring some good wine, you should have a good attitude, otherwise I won't be able to pay attention to you."
Blacksmith Zhang laughed.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Xiao Chen bowed and left with Wang Pingbei.
"What were you doing just now?"
After going out, Xiao Chen asked.
"I got bored waiting, so I went out for a walk..."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"Haha, aren't you afraid of running into someone from Shanhai Tower?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I just wandered around the back streets so I wouldn't be so unlucky."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Brother Chen, his sword was destroyed again today?"
"No, it's here."
Xiao Chen took out the sword forged by Zhang the blacksmith from the bone ring.
"A magical weapon appeared today."
"Divine weapon?"
Wang Pingbei was surprised and looked at him.
“Is this the one?”
"right."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Let me buy it."
"I thought he gave it to you."
Wang Pingbei took the sword and gestured.
"Give it to me? Haha, we're not that close yet. Even if he gives it to me, I wouldn't dare to accept it."
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.
“Things that don’t cost money are often the most expensive.”
"This blacksmith is really amazing. He can forge a magic weapon. He is already a master-level figure. Such a person will be a guest of honor no matter which force he goes to."
Wang Pingbei said with emotion.
"It's unexpected that such a person would hide in Xuanyuan Town."
"Haha, small seclusion is in the wild, great seclusion is in the city... Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Go find Cripple Li."
"He's a guardian?"
"Well, confirmed, yes."
Xiao Chen put away his sword and took Wang Pingbei to Cripple Li's residence.
As for wine... the thing he had the most in his bone ring was wine.
Ten minutes later, he saw Lame Li.
At first glance, he was a little bit unconvinced that this was a guardian.
It’s nothing, it’s just that he’s too down and out.
If it weren't for the relatively clean clothes, he would have thought he was a beggar.
There was a black iron cane next to him, representing his identity, so he had not found the wrong person.
"He... is Cripple Li?"
Wang Pingbei looked at the old man sitting against the wall basking in the sun and was a little bit unbelieving.
"That should be it."
Xiao Chen glanced at the black iron crutch. No normal person would use such a thing.
"These guardians... each one is weirder than the other."
Wang Pingbei couldn’t accept it. There were blacksmiths, businessmen, and even beggars?
"Haha, who cares."
Xiao Chen smiled, walked forward and bowed to the old man.
"Meet Senior Li."
The old man didn't raise his head, nor did he even open his eyelids. His eyes were still closed, as if he was asleep.
"Why……"
Seeing that the old man ignored Xiao Chen, Wang Pingbei couldn't help but frown and wanted to shout.
Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop him.
"Even though he's in such a state of destitution, he still puts on such a big ego."
Wang Pingbei swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and couldn't help muttering.
He didn't think the old man was really asleep, he just ignored him.
Xiao Chen looked at the old man without getting angry. He took out a jar of wine from the bone ring, opened the mud seal, and the fragrance instantly filled the air.
The old man, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the wine jar in Xiao Chen's hand.
"Senior Li is awake?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Who are you?"
As Lame Li spoke, his eyes were fixed on the jar of wine in Xiao Chen's hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen thought to himself that Blacksmith Zhang had not lied to him. This old guy was really addicted to alcohol!
"My name is Chen Xiao."
Xiao Chen said as he handed over the jar of wine in his hand.
"This is good wine, Senior Li, would you like to try it?"
"I don't know you, why are you giving me wine?"
After Lame Li finished speaking, he took the jar of wine, raised his head and started drinking.
"Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
Wang Pingbei complained in his heart, how dare you drink something given by a stranger whom you don’t know?
"Haha, I came to Xuanyuan Town to look for opportunities. I heard about the senior, so I came to visit him specially."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out a few jars of wine and placed them at the base of the wall.
“This is a little token of my appreciation.”
"This wine...isn't it from Tianwaitian? Where did it come from?"
After Lame Li took a few gulps of wine, he squinted his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste.
When Wang Pingbei heard what Lame Li said, his face changed and he secretly thought that something was wrong.
Did Xiao Chen take out the wine from the Mother Realm? Wouldn't this expose his identity?
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "It is indeed not from the Heaven Beyond Heaven, but from the Three Realms Mountain."
"Three Realms Mountain? Where is Three Realms Mountain? I have never heard of it."
Lame Li said this and took a few more sips.
“Although the difference is not big, it has a different taste… good wine!”
"As long as you like it, senior."
Xiao Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. He was too careless. Who knew that this old guy was so picky and could actually taste it.
Fortunately, he didn't take out some red wine or something, otherwise it would be troublesome.
"At such a young age, yet he carries a magical storage device with him, this Sanjie Mountain must be a hidden power, right?"
Lame Li half-closed his eyes and looked Xiao Chen up and down.
"Haha, it's just a hidden force, not that big."
Xiao Chen said modestly.
"It seems that the senior has hidden himself here and no longer cares about the affairs of the martial arts world?"
"I am an old cripple, just eating and waiting to die every day."
Cripple Li was drinking.
"Why did you come to see me? If you have something to say, just don't say anything and go back to where you came from."
“…”
Wang Pingbei frowned. Isn’t this old guy too rude?
You drank someone else's wine and you still say this?
"Now that there are many cultivators in Xuanyuan Town and the Emperor Sea phenomenon has appeared, Senior, are you really not going to do anything?"
Xiao Chen kept smiling. Blacksmith Zhang had introduced it to him before, so he was mentally prepared.
"What to do? What if you do it? What if you don't do it? Young man, for the sake of these wines, listen to my advice and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise you will die here."
After Lame Li finished speaking, he just continued drinking and ignored Xiao Chen.
"As a guardian, how can Senior Li stay out of this?"
Xiao Chen looked at Lame Li and said slowly.
"Blacksmith Zhang, Ghost King, and you... We were born to live for this, right?"
"Good wine, good wine."
Cripple Li still ignored Xiao Chen, drinking and muttering.
"I am proficient in medicine, and perhaps I can help you get rid of that iron crutch."
Xiao Chen thought about it and then said.
