C7 Sword test
From just entering the Second level of the Qi Jing and Mai to reaching the peak of the second stage, even though it had only taken him one month, it looked like his speed was extremely fast. However, comparing the effort that Xuan Chen had put in, it was understandable.
It was because Xuan Chen had to swing his hammer thirty to forty thousand times everyday while forging the sword, and he had to constantly imbue the artifact with True Qi. To his body, this was an extremely arduous process of cultivation, and because of this, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
After sheathing his sword, Xuan Chen faintly smiled, and said to himself: "Since the Low-grade Treasure Weapon is completed, and has also broken through to the peak of the Second level of the Qi Jing and Mai, this trip of the iron ore hill can be said to be perfect."
He cleaned up Cast Soldier Hut briefly, then went down the mountain and headed towards armoury.
The iron ore hill had already returned to its previous bustling state and one could hear the sound of clanging metals coming from the armoury from a long distance away. "Clangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclang."
Looking at the people coming in and out, Xuan Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. It seemed that Li Zhong had managed the iron ore hill and the armoury very well and had fully recovered during this period of time.
Li Zhong was coincidentally in the armoury, and when he saw Xuan Chen appear, he immediately walked over and asked: "Young Noble, have you finished casting the Low-grade Treasure Weapon?"
"Mm, not bad. Uncle Zhong, get someone to carry the sword-testing stone over, I want to test the sword! " Xuan Chen raised the fish scale sword in his hand and smiled.
Li Zhong was excited in his heart, and said: "Young master, please wait a moment, I will call for someone to bring the sword-testing stone over right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Not long after, a group of people followed behind Li Zhong. Two of the strong men carried a dark green sword-testing stone the size of a millstone.
sword-testing stone s were as hard as iron. An ordinary Cyan Edge Sword would at most leave a mark on them, and only precious weapons would be able to cut into them.
Generally speaking, Low-grade Treasure Weapon could cut in one inch, Middle Grade Treasure Weapon could cut in three inches, high grade treasure could slice into seven inches, and high grade treasure could slice into a foot.
Of course, cutting in here wasn't something that could be cut with all one's strength. Even if it was the Green Edge Sword, if it were in the hands of a strong practitioner, it would still be able to split the mountain and split the earth, much less a sword-testing stone.
Looking at how everyone was looking forward to it, Xuan Chen smiled and slowly took out his fish scale sword.
Under everyone's attentive gazes, the sword tip in Xuan Chen's hand was placed around three feet away from the sword-testing stone. Then, he released the power from his wrist and allowed the fish scale sword to freely fall.
Puff!
Just like cutting into tofu, the fish scale sword Sword directly sank into the sword-testing stone s.
"Good sword!"
Li Zhong's pupils suddenly enlarged as he stared intently at the sword-testing stone.
"Young master, the sword is two and a half inches deep!"
A burly man quickly measured the depth and tremblingly reported it. His heart was also shocked.
Hiss hiss!
All of them looked at Xuan Chen in shock, their eyes blazing with admiration.
Xuan Chen nodded in satisfaction. After all, this was the work of two world's Cast Soldier s, and its quality had almost reached the peak of the Low-grade Treasure Weapon.
"Congratulations young master, you have cast a Low-grade Treasure Weapon!" Li Zhong bowed in congratulations.
"Congratulations, Young Master!" The others congratulated him as well.
Xuan Chen laughed, and waved for everyone to leave, leaving Li Zhong alone.
"Uncle Zhong, tell me about this matter?" Xuan Chen asked.
Li Zhong's happiness faded, and he said with a hint of worry: "Young master, according to your instructions, our Xuanjia's industry has gotten back to normal, and our sales are even higher than before. Even though this is the case, last month's profits were only around three thousand silvers, so I am afraid it is impossible for us to clear Gao Lin's debt in three months time. "
Xuan Chen nodded, muttering to himself for a while, then said: "I am preparing to enter Redstone Mountains to hunt ferocious beasts, and I can also train for a while."
"Young master, you must not. There are many fierce beasts in Redstone Mountains, which are extremely dangerous. Who knows how many people die every year, including many strong cultivators. " After Li Zhong heard this, he quickly tried to dissuade his.
Although some of the fur and special parts of a vicious beast were valuable, hunting them was not a joke. If it wasn't good, then he would be hunted down and become the food of the vicious beast's mouth.
Xuan Chen shook his head, and said with a resolute expression: "I have already made up my mind, there is no need for you to persuade me any further, this is also the only way for us to pay off our debts."
In fact, the value of the Xuanjia's current assets were not low. Just the iron ore hill s alone were casually worth around three to four hundred thousand gold.
It was not like he had not thought of using Forging Swords to repay his debt, it was just that forging a Low-grade Treasure Weapon would take at least a month, while the value of a Low-grade Treasure Weapon was only around ten thousand silver, while he only had three months of time. He could at most forge five Low-grade Treasure Weapon, so forging swords was not feasible.
He had no choice but to go hunting for berserk beasts. Even though it was dangerous, with his current martial arts skills, as long as he was careful, there shouldn't be too much danger.
Li Zhong still wanted to persuade his again, but looking at the resolute expression in Xuan Chen's eyes, he knew that it was useless trying to persuade him otherwise. He could only suppress the urge in his heart and prepare to tell Xuan Qingya about it the moment he returned home.
Li Zhong sighed, and then changed the topic: "Young Noble, there is one more thing I heard, Zhao Xinghua and the rest have all joined the Cheng Family, and I heard that they are all very important to us."
The Cheng family was also a Cast Soldier family, but their strength was much stronger than the Xuanjia. Amongst all the families in the Iron Stone Town, they were ranked at the top of the second tier, and as for the Xuanjia, they were the last few.
"Don't worry about him, as long as he is honest and doesn't bother us again. Alright, Uncle Zhong, will you come back with me or what? " did not care, strength decided everything, and now that he could easily suppress Zhao Xinghua, he would naturally not put him in his eyes anymore.
"I happen to be heading back for a moment, I'll go with young master!" Li Zhong said.
Li Zhong called Lu Hu over. After instructing him about many things, he went down the mountain with Xuan Chen and returned to Iron Stone Town.
The last time he rushed to the iron ore hill, Xuan Chen did not pay much attention to the outside world. When he returned to Iron Stone Town, he discovered that Iron Stone Town was much more prosperous than he had imagined.
On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of shops and restaurants, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
Iron Stone Town was close to the sea and had a good deep water harbor. The sea trade was well-developed and the entire southeast part of Xuan Yuan Island used this as the port of entry. Naturally, Iron Stone Town's economy was extremely prosperous.
Xuan Mansion.
Returning to the Xuanjia, Xuan Qingya felt extremely happy. Looking at the brand-new sword sheath on Xuan Chen's left hand, her eyes lit up and she asked: "Little Chen, you've forged a Low-grade Treasure Weapon?"
Xuan Chen smiled lightly and nodded: "Not bad, Sis, I have succeeded."
As he said that, he handed the fish scale sword over.
Xuan Qingya took the fish scale sword solemnly, and slowly pulled out his sword, releasing an ice cold sword aura from its sheath, illuminating everyone's snow-white eyes, making them unable to see anything.
Clang!
The fish scale sword was completely unsheathed. Xuan Qingya gently waved it, and a sword light flashed past without making a sound.
She held the sword horizontally in front of her and stretched out her slender fingers. She lightly flicked the sword's body and let out a long, melodious hum.
"Good sword!"
Xuan Qingya praised. With a wave of her hand, the fish scale sword was quickly inserted into the sword sheath.
"Oh right, Sis, I am preparing to head to Redstone Mountains tomorrow to gain experience!" Xuan Chen said, he carefully looked at Xuan Qingya's reaction.
