November 18, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.
It has been more than three months since Chen Zong became a martial artist and officially became a disciple of the family hall.
Walking out of the Tibetan martial arts building, Chen Zong looked up at the sky, and then went to the dining hall.
Up to now, he has read all the miscellaneous notes in the Tibetan martial arts building, which has indeed improved Chen Zong's accumulation of martial arts knowledge a lot and further broadened his horizons, but he still has no clue about the true secret realm.
Think about it, the entire Li family has been passed down for six to seven hundred years, and no one has ever practiced swordsmanship to the realm of true secrets. Even in the entire Fengwu City, the realm of true secrets is just a legend, so Chen Zong can't get anxious .
"The more anxious you are, the more you will get confused." Chen Zong took a deep breath and said secretly.
His tense mentality relaxed, but he figured it out. It is a great thing to be able to touch the real secret realm, but it cannot be achieved, and he should not force it too much, otherwise it will only affect his own state of mind and accumulate slowly. Only problems arise.
In the corner of the martial arts training ground, he didn't draw his sword, but practiced Huli boxing a few times as a warm-up.
As he practiced, there seemed to be an astonishing roar of a tiger resounding through the mountains. Chen Zong only felt that his understanding and mastery of Tiger Power Boxing had directly improved.
"It actually broke through." Chen Zong was very surprised.
Among the various foundation-building martial arts that I have cultivated, the martial arts that reached the consummation first, but because of the relationship between sword practice, I seldom use it anymore. There is another kind of understanding.
Swords and fists, fists and swords are both different and similar.
"I don't know when will the Eight Forms of the True Sword be perfected?" Chen Zong thought to himself, drawing his sword and dancing.
The foundation-building swordsmanship of the three sects has reached the subtle state, and they still insist on practicing ten times a day. After that, fifty times the real sword eight moves and fifty times the basic eighteen moves. Now there is no better condition for practicing the four key points of swordsmanship. That's all.
As for the arms, during the past few months in the foundry, Chen Zong was not only able to easily forge iron blocks, but also fine iron blocks, so he tried to forge a pair of arm guards for himself with heavy iron, and failed seven or eight times. Finally forged a pair of heavy iron armguards that satisfied him.
It has to be said that heavy iron is indeed not very suitable for forging. Every time it fails, it is not because Chen Zong's skills are not good enough, but because the heavy iron is too brittle.
The final success of the forging is also inseparable from the help of Elder Lie. Some other materials were added to increase the toughness of the arm guard.
The armguards were very thin, but very heavy, one weighed a hundred catties, and it was put on Chen Zong's forearm, and the sleeves covered it so that it was completely invisible.
When the original 50-jin heavy iron sheet was replaced with a 100-jin heavy iron armguard, Chen Zong was still a little unaccustomed to it, but he got used to it not long after.
After a short rest, Chen Zong drew his sword again.
The blade of the Baotie Sword glowed with a slight blue light, and it was extremely sharp. A little bit of cold light on the tip of the sword was like a ray of cold stars in the night sky. If you look at it a few times, your eyes will feel sore.
Out of the sword!
The first part of the light-splitting sword technique is the light-splitting Glance.
With a single sword, four sword lights criss-crossed.
With another sword strike, the four sword lights lined up one after the other, slashing at the same target one after another, leaving clear tracks in the air.
"The peak of Xiaocheng is not far from the realm of Dacheng." Chen Zong secretly said.
For example, Chen Guzhan and Chen Fenghua are still at the entry level of the first level of low-level human-level martial arts, which shows that human-level martial arts are difficult to practice.
The reason why high-level martial arts are difficult to practice is because every time you practice, you often need to mobilize your energy and blood, and every time you practice high-level martial arts, you will consume the power of energy and blood. long time.
After all, compared with physical strength, the power of qi and blood is very limited. Generally, it can only be used to perform exercises or make it recover on its own. Even the young masters of those big families dare not take too much pills to recover.
External force is always external force, taking an appropriate amount can play a supporting role, and the body will naturally eliminate its side effects, that is, some impurities, but if you take too much at a time, the impurities will not be eliminated in time, and a little bit of precipitation will accumulate, eventually affect itself.
The higher the level of martial arts, the stronger the power, and the consumption of energy and blood will also increase accordingly. However, after using the small city's peak ray for thirteen times in a row, Chen Zong felt that the energy of energy and blood in his body was almost exhausted. pale.
"The limit should be about fifteen times. If it reaches the state of great accomplishment, it will probably be even less."
After performing it twice again, as expected, all the energy and blood in his body was exhausted. Chen Zong's complexion was pale, and he felt empty in his body, with a feeling of hollowness and powerlessness, but he was still able to hold the sword, and he was still able to practice the sword.
What is consumed is only the power of Qi and blood, and most of the power of the body is still preserved.
Putting the sword back into its sheath, Chen Zong concentrated his energy and used the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu to transfer the power of Qi and blood to speed up recovery. With or without exercises, the recovery efficiency of the power of Qi and blood varies greatly.
For example, Liehu Kung Fu is a human-level middle-grade exercise, which can increase the recovery speed by 100%, which is double the recovery speed. If it is a human-level low-grade exercise, it is only 50%, and the human-level upper-grade exercise is 150%.
Chen Zong found that every time he practiced swords, he exhausted his qi and blood and then recovered it with Liehu Gong, which could significantly promote the cultivation of Liehu Gong. , is not far away.
Here, it has long been Chen Zong's exclusive place to practice swords, and no one will come to interfere. As for Chen He, even if he hates Chen Zong again, he dare not come here to make trouble now. After all, Chen Zong is ranked among the top four Xiaoying, who was dubbed the real sword, he couldn't do it himself, and let the same Qi and blood level four to deal with Chen Zong, it may not be an opponent.
…
"Chen Zong, don't forge refined iron blocks today, but try to forge a sword."
In the casting workshop, Chen Zongcai stepped into the casting room, Elder Lie said.
"Forging a sword?" Chen Zong was a little surprised when he heard the words, but also a little moved.
"Yes, don't you want to forge a sword for yourself?" Elder Lie's voice was full of temptation: "Think about it, wouldn't it be more wonderful if I could hold the sword I forged to face the masters from all walks of life and overwhelm the geniuses from all walks of life? ?”
Seeing Chen Zong's excited expression, Elder Lie laughed secretly. He wanted to take Chen Zong as his disciple and teach him forging skills, but the other party was not interested. After he went back to think hard, he changed his strategy and adopted a roundabout tactic. From time to time, he would give advice to Chen Zong and slowly bring up his interest in casting.
Now, after several months of observation, thinking and inquiry, he finally came up with another method, which is to let Chen Zong learn to forge a sword.
A swordsman who has a good sword, if he has the ability, will naturally be willing to forge a good sword for himself based on his own ability. As long as Chen Zong is moved, then he can pass on the casting skills to him little by little. In the name of master and apprentice, there is also the reality of master and apprentice.
Thinking about it, Elder Lie couldn't help crying because of his cleverness.
"Forge the sword yourself..." Chen Zong thought deeply.
"During this period of time, I was looking through hundreds of miscellaneous notes in the Tibetan Martial Arts Building. There was a sentence in it that said, to forge a sword to realize the sword, but there was no explanation at all. At that time, I was looking for traces of the real secret realm, and I didn't care... "
"Maybe you can try it?"
Thinking of this, Chen Zong was even more moved.
When he practices swords, firstly, he likes it, and secondly, he wants to have stronger strength. Because of his liking, he will naturally love swords more. If he can make a sword by himself, he will watch a good sword being born in his own hands, and think that he can hold his own sword. How wonderful it is to compete with the geniuses of the same generation and compete with the masters of the older generation with the carefully forged sword.
Thinking of it this way, the beating speed of the heart increased greatly, like the roar of a drum.
"Think about it, if you forge a famous sword handed down from generation to generation, what a glorious thing it would be." Elder Lie's voice sounded again.
"Famous sword handed down from generation to generation?" Chen Zong was puzzled.
"It seems that you don't know yet, so let me tell you." Elder Lie saw Chen Zong was puzzled, and quickly continued to arouse his interest: "Weapons are divided into grades, the lowest is the ordinary iron grade, followed by Refined iron level, and the upper level is precious iron level, and precious iron level is not the end, because there are three levels to go up."
Chen Zong was really attracted and listened attentively.
"Above the precious iron level is called the precious iron level. The gap between the precious iron level weapons and the precious iron level weapons is like the gap between the Qi and blood realm and the Qi and blood realm." Elder Lie shook his head and said: "If you want to forge precious iron-level weapons, you need not only precious ores, but also superb forging skills. If the value of each of the three grades of ordinary iron, fine iron, and precious iron is ten times different, then precious iron The value of a level weapon is more than a hundred times that of a treasured iron level weapon."
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. The precious iron-grade sword was already so sharp, so what about the precious iron-grade sword, which was worth a hundred times more
"Above the precious iron level..." Elder Lie paused deliberately before continuing: "It's called the god iron level, and its value is more than a hundred times higher than the precious iron level."
"Shentie class!" Chen Zong's mouth was dry. If he remembered correctly, what Elder Lie said just now should be a level above the Shentie class.
"Above the god iron level, it is called handed down, and it is also called handed down famous x{2022} weapon. As for the sword, it is naturally called handed down famous sword."
"Every famous x{2022} weapon handed down from generation to generation is not only superior in quality to the god-iron class, but also contains a wonderful story. Its value is no longer measurable by money." Elder Lie's tone revealed infinite yearning: " In this life, if I can personally see a famous x{2022} weapon handed down from generation to generation, I will be satisfied."
"Handed down famous x{2022} weapons... handed down famous swords..." Chen Zong repeated in a low voice.
So... what style should it have
"The profession of foundry is divided into grades. For example, if you can cast ordinary iron, you are considered a foundry apprentice. If you can forge fine iron, you are an ordinary foundry, which means ordinary foundry. Casting precious iron, It is an elite foundry, called a precision foundry, I am a precision foundry." Elder Lie said the last sentence, and put gold on his face. In fact, if he wants to cast precious iron, he has to see Luck can only barely be regarded as a fine casting master.
"How about casting precious iron wares?" Chen Zong couldn't help asking.
"Master Casting." Elder Lie replied quickly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, now, listen carefully, I will teach you how to forge a sword."
Saying that, without giving Chen Zong time to think, he immediately explained.
