Although Shi Hao and the others knew that this "treasure" was actually not worth mentioning, it was useless.
An unknown number of people began to rush to Mount Taihua overnight.
—Getting rich overnight is no longer a dream, becoming rich enough to rival a country is just around the corner.
On the second day, Shi Hao and his party left Luojing and went to Guanzhong by water. They did not go to Daxing City, but went directly to Taoist Tieyu.
"I thought you didn't want this thing!" Taoist Tie Yu said unhappily. Then he looked at Master Lan Ke and said, "Who is this..."
Lan Ke Zhenren said: "This is Lan Ke Dan Yuan, the poor Taoist."
Taoist Tie Yu was moved: "You are 'Lan Ke Dan Yuan'? I heard that your forging and elixir stone skills are quite impressive. I have long admired you."
Then he laughed complacently and said, "With you, 'Lan Ke Dan Yuan', here, they asked me to help forge the best divine crystal. As expected, I am unrivaled in the world in the art of forging."
Lan Ke snorted, "That's because I'm not here, otherwise how could it be your turn
The two Taoists started arguing...
Chapter 337 Nothing Special
The two Taoists soon started arguing over everything from forging to elixir stones.
Shi Hao, Du Yuejiao, and Xu Xiaoyan were in no mood to listen to their quarrel. Xu Xiaoyan shouted:
"Fatty, take out the magic weapon first."
Taoist Tieyu snorted, walked into the room, took out a wooden box and threw it to them, then continued to quarrel with Taoist Lanke.
Xu Xiaoyan opened the light gray wooden box and saw a purple-red magic weapon that looked like a coral branch in the box.
There was a piece of paper next to it, and Shi Hao took it and looked at it.
—"Cang Lei Zhi!"
—"The magical power 'Ten Thousand Thunders' can cause a large-scale lightning strike that covers an area of ten miles."
—“The number of uses is twelve and can only be used once every two days.”
Although it has been used less frequently, Shi Hao is already very satisfied with it.
After all, when it was brought over, it was just a scrap piece.
Moreover, this kind of top-grade magic weapon is mainly used on large-scale battlefields. If it is used suddenly, it can even affect the entire strategy and directly reverse the situation of the war.
At that moment, he put away the Cang Lei branch.
The three turned to leave, and Taoist Tie Yu shouted, "Pay!"
I thought you had forgotten about the quarrel.
He immediately took out a silver note worth two thousand taels and paid it to Taoist Tieyu.
He did not leave immediately, but stayed here to watch Lan Ke Zhenren and Tie Yu Taoist continue arguing, waiting for them to finish.
Unexpectedly, after a while, they stopped arguing and started discussing.
Both of them were masters in the art of forging and alchemy. After competing for a while, they found that the other also had his own unique strengths, and they couldn't help but admire each other.
The three of them didn't have any urgent business anyway, and Taoist Tieyu had many empty rooms, so they simply stayed here for the time being. During this time, Taoist Lan Ke mentioned the Samadhi Yuanhuo, but Taoist Tieyu didn't believe it and insisted that Shi Hao show it to them.
Shi Hao asked him to prepare some medicinal materials, borrowed a medicine furnace, and refined a Dahuan Pill according to the recipe taught by Taoist Lan Ke.
Taoist Tieyu was stunned... He had never seen such a method of making elixirs that did not require any charcoal fire, but relied purely on internal force to transform fire, and directly guided the miraculous fire from the body, mind, and consciousness.
"How did you make this fire?" Taoist Tie Yu opened his eyes wide. "This fire is like Taoism but not Taoism, like demons but not demons, but it is purer and more mysterious than any other fire. The temperature is controlled entirely by the mind, and it can completely not damage the medicinal properties, and easily make top-grade elixirs. I have never heard of this kind of strange fire."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. It's not because you are ignorant. It's because no one has ever practiced it before. And I can't teach you, because no matter how much I teach you, you won't be able to practice it."
He raised his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "I see no ancients in front of me, and no future generations behind me. Thinking of the vastness of the universe, I am alone and shed tears... Being a genius like me is a very lonely thing!"
Taoist Tieyu and Taoist Lanke clenched their fists, both having the urge to beat him.
Shi Hao wasn't worried... He knew they couldn't win!
Taoist Tie Yu took the Great Huan Dan he had refined and looked at it for a long time. He then glanced at him and asked, "How long have you been learning the art of alchemy?"
Shi Hao said: "I started learning it a few months ago."
Lan Ke Taoist said with a stern face: "I taught you this."
Taoist Tie Yu muttered, "A few months? Are you kidding me?" Then he gritted his teeth and looked at Shi Hao with a sour face, "Are you interested in learning the art of forging again?"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "If you insist on teaching me..."
Taoist Tie Yu said angrily: "Who wants to teach you? Who has to teach you? Boy, don't be so arrogant. No one is begging to teach you..."
—
In the next few days, Shi Hao began to learn the art of forging from Taoist Tieyu.
Relying on the Samadhi Yuanhuo, he can easily accomplish any kind of forging method.
After all, the art of forging, like alchemy, is about controlling the temperature and the purity of the fire itself.
This aspect is no problem at all for him.
When Xu Xiaoyan had nothing to do, she went to Hongqiu and asked the owner of Hongqiu for Shi Hao if he could buy Xuanli Miraculous Water and Hongshuang Holy Core.
As a result, I was extremely lucky and actually bought three taels of Xuanli Wonderful Water from the owner of Hongqiu... Someone took a few taels to sell at the last Hongqiu meeting, but was unable to sell it, so he had to leave it with the owner of Hongqiu and ask him to help sell it.
Three taels of Xuanli strange water cost nine hundred taels of silver, which was actually a bit expensive.
But there is no way, there is no direct transaction at the Hongqiu Fair. If you buy and sell through the owner of Hongqiu, the transaction fee is quite shocking.
Shi Hao had already prepared the two thousand taels for Taoist Tie Yu, using the "public funds" of the Evil Lotus Sect.
Of course he had to pay the nine hundred taels himself, but luckily he still had the protection fee he received from Yueyaer, so he could afford it.
As a result, the four immortal materials needed for the next advancement would only lack the Red Frost Holy Core and the Double Realm Wonderful Lotus.
There was no ready-made Red Frost Holy Core in Hongqiu. As for the Double World Wonderful Lotus, even the owner of Hongqiu had only heard of such a thing, and had no idea what it was used for, and had never seen it before.
It seems that I still need to ask Yue'er for help and go to the South China Sea.
Of course, Shi Hao was not in a hurry at the moment. After all, he was still improving his skills and it was impossible for him to cultivate to the fifth level immediately.
At the same time, Xu Xiaoyan also brought news from the owner of Hongqiu. She shouted: "It's crazy, it's crazy, the news of the treasure has spread all over the world, now all the big families and gangs have sent masters to Taihua Mountain, and people are fighting in Taihua Mountain every day."
She sighed, looking very excited yet helpless: "This... is the Jianghu!"
Du Yuejiao snorted and said, "Are these people extremely boring?"
Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin, "People in the martial arts world have always lived on the edge of a knife. Now there is a chance to get rich overnight, so we have to rush in even if it means risking our lives. Treasure... Treasure! In the martial arts world, there are two things that make people jealous the most. One is the martial arts secret manual, and the other is the hidden treasure."
Du Yuejiao asked: "Which is more important, wealth or life?"
Xu Xiaoyan said: "If you lose your life, you just lose your body. If you lose your wealth, you will be despised by others."
Du Yuejiao was speechless for a moment... There is indeed some truth in what he said!
It just makes people uncomfortable to listen to!
As he was talking, Taoist Tie Yu's loud shout came from the direction of Jian Lu: "Is it so great? It's just a top-grade sword. It's been forged, so it's been forged. Is it so great? It's as if you are the only one who can do it."
Then came Shi Hao's voice: "I know, I know, it's just my first time forging a sword, and it's just a top-grade one, it's nothing special."
Taoist Tie Yu walked out with his hands behind his back, humming as he walked: "Nonsense... It's nothing to be proud of!"
Chapter 338: Treasure Casting Technique, at the Foot of Nanshan Mountain
Du Yuejiao and Xu Xiaoyan looked at each other, both curious, and couldn't help but run over.
They saw that Shi Hao was holding a sword in his hand, with sword energy emanating from it. The faint sword light seemed to illuminate the entire sword pavilion.
Xu Xiaoyan ran to comfort Taoist Tie Yu: "Fatty Yan, don't be angry. It's just sword forging. You forged a top-grade sword for the first time. You must have been able to do it before. Even if you couldn't, there's nothing to be angry about. Come on, calm down. There are geniuses above geniuses. You will get used to this kind of thing slowly..."
Taoist Tie Yu said, "You stinky girl!"
Lan Ke Taoist said in a hateful voice: "These two girls are of the same kind."
Du Yuejiao couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't say anything at that time."
Shi Hao said: "The main reason is the good materials!" He swung the sword, and sword shadows fluttered and sword light swirled.
Taoist Tieyu and Taoist Lanke were both moved... When he waved his sword, a gleam of light appeared, as if a sword energy was rushing up into the sky, mysterious and profound.
This newly forged sword is indeed of top quality, but even a top quality sword cannot unleash its power in everyone's hands.
With just a flick of his hand, he was able to stimulate the sword energy to this extent.
This boy is an expert in swordsmanship!
Taoist Lan Ke sighed, "No wonder you have the confidence to block Shi Tuxiong's three incredible swords. Compared with Shi Tuxiong's demonic intent, which is different from all the sword moves in the world, your sword intent comes out casually, which has some meaning of no moves being better than moves."
Taoist Tie Yu snorted, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked back. He looked at Shi Hao and shouted, "Put down the sword... and start learning how to forge treasures!"
This guy is really annoying!
Even so, this extraordinary talent for forging and the incredible Samadhi Yuan Fire made Taoist Tieyu want to teach him all his forging methods.
Everyone with unique skills does not want their skills to be lost after they are buried.
Finding someone who is capable of inheriting your skills is not an easy task.
The art of forging treasures is much more troublesome than forging swords.
The so-called magic weapons are actually all made based on divine crystals. There are various types of divine crystals, and the casting techniques are also different.
Taoist Tieyu and Zhenren Lanke were naturally both experts in forging treasures. Taoist Tieyu was able to transform the "Thunder Lord" that had merged with the stone bones into a magic weapon again, and Zhenren Lanke even researched something like the "Stone of Conferred Gods".
Speaking of magic weapons, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly asked, "Fatty Yan, I remember a few months ago, you bought a 'Geography Star' divine crystal at the Red Hill Fair. Where is that divine crystal now?"
Taoist Tie Yu said, "That divine crystal has long been sold to Qianrenmen. The Fu family of Qianrenmen has always been engaged in the business of map drawing. This divine crystal is only useful to them. What's wrong?"
Shi Hao told the story that someone was hunting down the holder of the Earthly Demon Crystal.
Taoist Tieyu and Taoist Lanke discussed for a while, but they were still unable to figure out what would happen if the seventy-two Earth Demon Crystals were gathered together
In fact, divine crystals have appeared in the mortal world for thousands of years, but no one can tell exactly how they appeared in the first place.
Taoist Tie Yu said: "Logically speaking, even if you are the holder of Di Kui Star, the other 71 Di Sha Divine Crystals are mostly scattered all over the world. It is not an easy task to collect them all. Doing so is time-consuming and laborious. If there is no great benefit, I am afraid no one would do such a thing."
Shi Hao couldn't help but nod: "Well... After all, it's just an Earthly Demon Crystal, even if it's a Heavenly Gang Crystal, it's still acceptable."
Du Yuejiao said softly: "To collect the Tiangang Divine Crystal, we need the Tiankui Star, and those killers may not have the Tiankui Star in their hands."
Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but worry about Taoist Hongshan, Zhao Kaishan, and Hou Bomin again.
Judging from the various clues known so far, those killers may have collected forty or fifty Earthly Demon Crystals and killed many people for this purpose.
However, it was useless to worry at this time. Now the people in the white world were looking for those three people everywhere, but they were doing a big business related to "archaeology" and would not contact others before the end.
What is more likely is that although they hid deeply, they were found by the killers using "Di Kuixing" and died in a place no one knew.
—Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed.
Shi Hao naturally knew what she was worried about, so he reached out and ruffled her hair.
Du Yuejiao stared at his hands...
—
Since he had no divine crystals to practice with, Shi Hao could only follow Taoist Tieyu and Taoist Lanke to learn the theoretical knowledge of treasure casting.
At the same time, he took some materials to practice. Even Taoist Tieyu thought that he no longer had many problems with his technique.
"However, if it is a top-grade divine crystal, the refining methods involved are more complicated," said Taoist Tie Yu. "Without real practice, it is difficult to refine the top-grade divine crystal into an effective magic weapon. You should pay attention to this."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "If it is a top-grade divine crystal, many people would rather absorb it than ask me to forge it."
Taoist Tieyu nodded... This is also true.
Taoist Tieyu then began to explain how he forged the "Thunder Lord" that had already been fused into the stone bones into a magic weapon.
At this point, Shi Hao basically began to not understand... After all, he had only been learning the art of forging for a short time, and this aspect was too advanced.
Of course, if he could understand this immediately, Taoist Tieyu would probably hit his head off with a hammer... This is no longer a genius, but a monster.
Taoist Tie Yu said: "You only need to know this for now. The forging method still requires a lot of practical practice before you can have a deeper understanding. Just like sword moves, no matter how good the sword moves are, they still need repeated practice to reach a higher level."
Shi Hao said: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Naturally, Shi Hao couldn't spend too much time learning the art of forging here.
