Zhan Yan turned around and said to Xu Yunfan with a pleasant expression, "My good disciple, since you want to forge a weapon, I will forge one for you myself. Even if it's not a treasure, it will definitely be a sharp blade!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Xu Yunfan was overjoyed. If he could really forge a precious weapon that could generate its own blade energy, his martial arts skills would be able to reach a new level.
Every time he swung the divine weapon, the gilded spear, it was too ostentatious, and every use would put a considerable strain on his body. If he had a treasure that was extremely suitable for him, it would naturally greatly increase his strength.
The news that Zhan Yan, the head of the Weapon Casting Hall, was preparing to accept a true disciple spread quickly throughout the Tiangong Cave, and most of the nine peaks and six departments of the Tiangong Cave had received the news.
"So, has the old man finally gotten the hang of it?"
Inside the mechanism hall, a short old man with white hair and beard was a little surprised. He had a bronze arm on his left arm, and as he moved, the bronze arm made a sound like a gear mechanism turning.
In the Cangfeng Hall, several people looked at each other in surprise.
On the hillside of Guniu Mountain, at the headquarters of the Casting Army Hall, Xu Yunfan was taken to an elegant courtyard to live in.
"You will live here from now on. Three months from now, I will start teaching at the Weapon Casting Hall and accept disciples!"
Zhan Yan couldn't help but smile, "When the time comes, I'll give them a surprise."
Xu Yunfan naturally would not refuse and bowed to express his gratitude.
Zhan Yan waved his hand and paced around the courtyard. When he reached the rockery in the corner, he slowly said, "There was no Weapon Casting Hall in Tiangong Cave originally. Back then, the Divine Weapon Ridge was destroyed, and the entire mountain gate was cut off from inheritance. Strongmen were stationed there to guard it. Any disciples who dared to reunite at the mountain gate would be killed.
Finally, I found another way and came to Tiangong Cave, where I found the Weapon Casting Hall, which temporarily settled the Divine Weapon Ridge lineage. Remember, there is only the Weapon Casting Hall in Tiangong Cave, not the Divine Weapon Ridge.
Xu Yunfan: "I will obey Master's orders."
Fu Jin said, "Junior brother, we have settled down in Tiangong Cave now. We are its disciples. Our Weapon Casting Hall is the most sought-after branch of Tiangong Cave. The others' earning power is far inferior. If we forge a sharp-edged weapon and sell it, any one of them can fetch tens of thousands of taels of silver. A few years ago, the precious Qinggang Sword forged by our master was bought by a swordsman in the Daocheng of Yanbei Province. At that time, it fetched over a million taels of silver, 100 taels of red gold, and 10 taels of green gold."
Xu Yunfan was extremely surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that forging soldiers was so profitable. He couldn't help but take a look at the skill column on his attribute panel.
Well, forging soldiers is a good way out.
"Go, go, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and train your soldiers. I want to talk to Yunfan."
Fu Jinxing left in a hurry.
Xu Yunfan saw it and finally felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Tiangong Cave would be like Tianchan Sect, where the master and disciples had a hundred schemes and were thinking about how to kill each other every day.
Zhan Yan said, "Although it is indeed as Fu Jin said, forging weapons is a good way."
His wiry arm muscles rose and fell as he spoke.
"But our Weapon Casting Hall... has only been around for twenty-five years. There are always those who are jealous of the new furnace's prosperity, so there will naturally be some friction with other departments. But this matter is not serious. You just need to take care of yourself and don't worry about anything."
Although Zhan Yan said it lightly, Xu Yunfan knew in his heart that with so many people in a sect, there would naturally be a lot of dirty people. The Weapon Casting Hall was an outsider, and now it has become the leader of Tiangong Cave, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people.
The three-month gift of true inheritance may not be so peaceful in words and deeds.
Xu Yunfan nodded and said, "Disciple, save that."
A muffled laugh like thunder rolled out of Zhan Yan's throat. Looking at Xu Yunfan's expression, he naturally understood that he knew what he meant, and the admiration in his eyes became more intense.
He suddenly pressed his rough palm on Xu Yunfan's shoulder, his five fingers like clamps, but he saw that the veins on the other party's neck bulged but he did not move at all.
Subconsciously, Xu Yunfan's muscles were instantly entangled like steel cables. This was the result of his skin training, the Bronze Body Skill, running on its own. A golden luster appeared under his bronze skin, and strands of blood were wriggling endlessly, like cicada wings.
Xu Yunfan came back to his senses, his tense body suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Could you please not be so alarmed? I'm really a little nervous."
He almost started the gilded bell again.
Zhan Yan grinned, and the wrinkles on his face spread out like chrysanthemums.
"I haven't seen the golden skin for many years. I can't help but want to see it more. Even in the Divine Weapon Ridge back then and the Tiangong Cave today, it hasn't appeared for two or three hundred years."
Xu Yunfan: "…"
Zhan Yan then asked, "Besides training the skin, are there any other martial arts that train the bones and muscles?"
"Master, don't worry. When you train your tendons, you develop your flying legs. When you train your bones, you develop your heavenly cicada strength. Both can be trained to perfection."
"Okay, that's great. I'll forge a treasure for you within two months."
Zhan Yan naturally understood that Xu Yunfan wanted to have perfect muscles, bones and skin, so he would not interfere. After some inquiries and confirming that he had no needs, he told Xu Yunfan to practice with peace of mind, and he would make sure that he had spiritual fish and exotic beasts for every meal, and Yuanzhu Dan from Tiangong Cave to replenish his energy and strengthen his body every day.
Xu Yunfan naturally would not refuse. Seeing that Zhan Yan was about to leave, Xu Yunfan paused for a moment, called Zhan Yan again, and took out the fragment of the purple gold earth-shaking hammer from his arms.
"Master, I wonder if I can melt it into the weapon when forging it?"
"Fragments of divine weapons?!"
Zhan Yan's pupils shrank slightly. He took the fragment and rubbed it repeatedly. His rough fingers kept sliding and his eyes showed shock.
"I never thought that a divine weapon of this rank would be shattered... What a pity, it has been completely shattered, its spiritual power completely lost, and there is no possibility of recovery."
He was a little surprised: "You are really lucky, if it were somewhere else, I am afraid this purple gold would not be able to melt. It just so happens that there is a thunder and fire pool in Tiangong Cave, which can melt this kind of material."
Xu Yunfan was overjoyed and pretended to smile foolishly, saying, "I found it on the road, I found it."
After asking a few more questions and making sure that Xu Yunfan didn't need anything, he threw the true disciple card to Xu Yunfan and left excitedly.
...
Zhan Yan rode non-stop all the way into the depths of the Tiangong Cave, entered the Tiangong Hall, and rang the meeting bell.
As the sound of the bronze bell penetrated the twelve layers of lava caves, the head of the Machinery Hall was using his left hand, which was covered with a bronze glove, to immerse the red-hot iron embryo into the cold pool.
A disciple reported from the quenching white mist: "Master, the bell of the Weapon Casting Hall!"
The short old man with white hair and beard raised his eyebrows, had some guesses in his mind, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to develop the mechanism. He threw the iron blank in his hand aside.
"Interesting! This old bell has rarely been struck in years, but today is the first time it's been struck."
Soon, the leaders of the six departments of Jiufeng rushed to Tiangong Hall on the iron chain bridge, and the copper rust on the chains fell off.
