Chapter 23: Go to the Sword Forge

Long Yu flew quickly towards the mountain peak, and with a loud roar, he was so scared that he rolled off the sword and fell to the ground, lying in front of the gate of a courtyard in a dog-eat-shit posture. Leng Tu held a bottle in his right hand and a tattered fan in his left hand, looking at Long Yu with anger on his face.

Long Yu felt that the situation was not good, and quickly retreated far away, fearing that Leng Tu would suddenly attack him. Leng Tu pointed his fan at Long Yu and shouted, "You are responsible for this, you bastard. Many disciples of the Divine Sword Pavilion are lost in your sword formation. Once they enter, they will never come out. Why don't you let them out quickly?"

Long Yu touched the back of his head, with a harmless face, "I was in a hurry to comprehend it at that time, and forgot to tell everyone the secret feeling of the sword formation." Leng Tu stared at Long Yu with wide eyes, looking like he wanted to eat him. Frightened, Long Yu hurriedly walked back, and his heel stepped on a wooden stick, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Long Yu quickly sat on the ground and used his spiritual sense to control the Bagua formation to stop. The people in the sword formation watched the attacks around them stop. Some of them looked unhappy, some looked happy, and some looked dissatisfied. Anyway, there were all kinds of expressions.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and quickly flew on their swords. Not far away, dark clouds continued to roll in. Long Yu looked at the thunderbolts in the sky, and felt that the world had entered the end of the world. The dark clouds continued to bless everyone as if they were free.

Leng Tu glanced at Long Yu and walked back to the yard. Long Yu followed Leng Tu into the yard. Leng Tu sat on a stone table and looked at Long Yu. Long Yu quickly poured a cup of tea for Leng Tu, "Master, please have some tea."

Leng Tu was a little hesitant, but he still took the tea from Long Yu. He didn't know whether Leng Tu was talking to Long Yu or to the air. "It's been so many years since you brought me tea." Long Yu looked at Leng Tu with sadness in his eyes, as if he was pretending to be someone.

Long Yu sat quietly beside Leng Tu, looking at Leng Tu who was full of memories. Long Yu didn't want to disturb Leng Tu, he just looked at the dark clouds outside, some big and some small, and the thunders in different colors, which doubled in number and shape every time.

Long Yu counted it down, and it was nine times from the formation of the dark cloud to the end. Last time, Long Yu only managed to get the sixth thunder. After an unknown amount of time, a pair of warm hands patted Long Yu's shoulders. Long Yu was startled and subconsciously dodged.

Long Yu looked at Leng Tu and saw that he was Leng Tu. He had a trace of sadness on his face. Long Yu didn't understand what Leng Tu was thinking about, so he quickly bowed to Leng Tu. "Master, I want to go to Zhujianfeng to learn forging. I have something that needs to be repaired."

Leng Tu dug around in the ring, as if looking for something, and suddenly pulled out a wrist-sized transparent rope and threw it directly to Long Yu. "Here, this is the tendon of a two-headed dragon. Although it's not a pure blue dragon's tendon, it's enough for you to make a string for the divine harp of Fengming Continent."

Long Yu looked at Leng Tu in disbelief, "Master, how did you know I wanted to make a zither? Do you know this old man?" Leng Tu looked at Long Yu with a smile on his face, then turned and walked into the alchemy furnace, "We've been friends for many years. It seems he has hopes for you as well."

Just as Long Yu was about to say something, Leng Tu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Long Yu looked at Leng Tu's back, walked out of the yard, and guided his spiritual power to repair his body. As the dark clouds in the sky became fewer and fewer, Long Yu flew to the stone steps on his sword.

Long Yu looked at the stone steps, then at the group of people climbing up. Compared to before, it seemed that many people were more interested in the trial. After a while, a man came down the stone steps. Long Yu took a look and saw that it was Xiao An, the woodcutter who helped him.

Long Yu quickly bowed to Xiao An, "Senior Xiao, I appreciate your kindness." Xiao An looked at Long Yu with a proud look on his face, and walked to Long Yu's side, "Young Pavilion Master, you are polite. I am a country boy and cannot stand your courtesy."

Long Yu looked at Xiao An, who was upright and heroic, and was impressed by his courage. "I will remember Senior Xiao's kindness in my heart." Xiao An patted Long Yu's shoulder, "Young Master, you don't have to do this. I just happened to pass by and helped you."

Long Yu felt that if he continued to be polite with Xiao An, it would only arouse Xiao An's favor. "Senior Xiao, can you tell me how to get to Zhujianfeng?" Xiao An was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Long Yu's shoulder and turned into a sword.

Long Yu felt that Xiao An's speed was too fast. His own flying sword was just like the speed of a bicycle and a rocket. In just a moment, Long Yu landed steadily on the ground, and a series of "bang~bang" sounds came out from a cave.

There were many disciples walking back and forth in front of the courtyard gate, looking very hurried. Xiao An pointed at the cave, and Long Yu saw that it was a cave that could only fit one person, which was very ordinary. Xiao An looked at Long Yu proudly, "Young Pavilion Master, this is the inner cabinet forging swords."

Xiao An led Long Yu to the cave entrance. All the disciples looked at Xiao An as if he had never been there. Xiao An didn't care about the others ignoring him and jumped directly into the cave. Long Yu followed Xiao An and found that the space in front of him had changed as he entered and exited.

There were many grids inside, and each grid had one or more people inside, performing their own forging techniques. Xiao An took Long Yu directly to the middle grid, where many disciples were coming in and out. Xiao An went in directly, and Long Yu followed him in.

Long Yu was shocked by what was in front of him. It was just a small grid. After entering, he saw an endless space with four seasons changing. There were forging materials everywhere. Long Yu looked at the endless piles of materials like small mountains.

Xiao An looked at Long Yudi from the side. He looked like a person who had never seen the world. Xiao An pointed at the materials and said, "Young Pavilion Master, these are the materials collected by many disciples of the Divine Sword Pavilion when they went out for training. The disciples exchanged the materials for their points. Each point can be used to buy other things in the Divine Sword Pavilion, or transferred to other disciples."

Long Yu looked at the materials in disbelief, "Do they have to hand in the materials they bring back?" Xiao An shook his head, "Not necessarily. For example, if they want a mental method or weapon they like, they need to buy it. And these materials are one of the things they have the right to buy. When they train outside and get a lot of opportunities or kill enemies and get results, they can take them to the exchange pavilion or street stall pavilion of Shenjian Mountain. They can also seek what they want at the auction outside."

Long Yu looked at Xiao An, who didn't seem to be lying, and then looked at his ring. It was too shabby. Apart from a few swords that hadn't been returned, there was only a rusty sword left to him by the old man and a jade pendant. There was nothing else he could exchange for points.

Xiao An saw Long Yu's miserable look and took out a jade token from his ring and handed it to Long Yu. Long Yu shook his head and said, "I may need to find materials before I can learn forging. I may not be able to use this jade token yet."

Xiao An looked at Long Yu with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Young Master. I'm just lending it to you in advance. You're my junior fellow apprentice, so naturally there will be a gift." Long Yu was so excited that the jade token gave him 10 billion points. Although he didn't know what ten represented, it seemed that the bigger the number, the better.

Xiao An looked at Long Yu and touched his chin, "The Pavilion Master said that this is a loan to you, and you have to return it in the future." Long Yu's jaw dropped to the ground. What kind of gift was this? It was just an advance payment, nothing else.

Xiao An smiled and patted Long Yu's shoulder, "If you use it well, you will find that 10 billion points are not enough." After Xiao An finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a man in a white robe appeared. He looked neat and tidy, and at first glance he looked like a moral immortal.

Xiao An said a few words to the old man and left. The old man glanced at Long Yu, as if he was worried that his things would be stolen, and quickly stood far away. Long Yu bowed to the old man and said, "Hello, senior. I, Long Yu, am here to learn forging."

The dragon looked at Long Yu cautiously, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I am Fang Yang, let me make it clear to you first, I don't have anything good for you to steal, you should go back to your fairyland."

Long Yu looked at Fang Yang in confusion, "Senior Fang seems to have some misunderstanding about me. I just want to exchange some materials and learn forging techniques. I don't have any other intentions." Fang Yang looked at Long Yu, but still didn't dare to get close. He threw a jade slip over and disappeared in front of him.

Long Yu used his spiritual sense to open the jade slip, which contained a price list. Long Yu's eyes widened. One grid required ten points a day, a hammer required one hundred points, and an ordinary furnace required one thousand points.

Long Yu cursed in his heart, "What a rip-off! If you want so many, you might as well just rob them." Even though he cursed, he still followed the instructions on the jade slip and placed the jade token inside the slip. Long Yu clicked on a grid, which contained a hammer and a stove.

A number 5782 appeared on the jade slip, and Long Yu guessed that it should be the location of the grid he had clicked. Long Yu followed the instructions of the jade slip, placed his spiritual consciousness on the jade slip, and closed his eyes. When Long Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself on an uninhabited mountain peak.

There was a shabby thatched house, with another stove and a hammer in front of the door. Long Yu wanted to curse, "What is this? There is not even a forging table." Long Yu looked at Jian quickly. The primary forging table cost 100 points, the intermediate forging table cost 1,000 points, and the advanced forging table cost 3,000 points.

Long Yu looked at it and clicked on a basic forging table. A black iron table suddenly appeared in front of him. There was also a bucket of water and a clamp for holding things, but nothing else. Long Yu looked at his set of basic equipment and thought to himself that it would be great if he could rob a ring with advanced forging equipment when he went down the mountain.

Long Yu took out the wordless heavenly book and looked for the page about forging the Fuxi Qin. Long Yu even wanted to turn over the table. Looking at the words written on the book, Long Yu was furious.
