The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 210: Forging Weapons (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
Su Mu fell from the sky, and the wind and thunder wings behind him suddenly folded up.

As he stepped on the ground, several huge monster heads rolled to the ground and hit the monster detective Lu Hu.

Lu Hu's pupils contracted, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at those heads.

"Hey, Master Lu, don't get too excited. Be careful not to faint."

Xu Chongyuan said with a smile, "Now our family is complete."

"Master Lu, are there any fish that have escaped the net?"

Su Mu said calmly, "If there is, I don't mind searching again."

"No—no more."

Lu Hu stammered.

It was really afraid that if it said there were more, Su Mu would really run somewhere else and start killing again.

Of course there are people of theirs nearby.

But this Su Mu was too abnormal. He actually dared to kill people in the wilderness.

And he actually has this ability!

Even the third-level monsters are no match for him!

But it is impossible for the Demon Court to send a fourth-level monster over casually.

A fourth-level monster is also a powerful one in the Demon Court. How can it be dispatched at will?

"That's it, there's nothing else."

Lu Hu said with gritted teeth.

It can only grit its teeth and swallow this loss.

"Master Su is amazing."

Lu Hu looked at Su Mu, a hint of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said coldly, "I keep my word. Since Lord Su really wiped out this group of monsters that did not obey the orders of the Demon Court, I will naturally thank Lord Su."

"Your so-called thanks, aren't you just saying it?"

Xu Chongyuan said, "That's right, your demon court is so poor, how can you come up with a decent thank you gift.

I say, Junior Brother Su, let’s not make things difficult for Lord Lu.

If a dignified demon court can't even offer a little thanks, wouldn't that be a huge disgrace?

No, it should be "discarding demons..."

"It makes sense."

Su Mu nodded and said, "In that case, forget it. These monsters can be regarded as a gift from my Great Xuan Mission to the Demon Court."

Lu Hu: “…”

It really wanted to swallow the two hateful Taiping captains in front of it in one bite.

But it can't.

Not to mention that this is the Daxuan delegation, the Demon Court cannot do anything to the Daxuan delegation openly.

Even if we don't say all this, it's probably no match for Su Mu.

Cang Gou was killed by him, and my strength is not as good as Cang Gou's.

"Who said that we in the Demon Court can't offer a thank you gift?"

Lu Hu said, "Look carefully, what is this!"

It took something out of its body and threw it to Su Mu with a painful look on its face.

Su Mu took it casually. It was a stone the size of an adult's fist, silver-gray in color.

"Don't you humans like to use Xuanbing? This is the ore necessary for casting Xuanbing! This is more than enough as a thank you gift!"

Lu Hu turned his head and begged, for he was afraid that if he looked at it again he would not be willing to give it to Su Mu.

When the national master trained this group of demon detectives, he taught them how to identify minerals.

If this kind of ore can be brought back to the Demon Court, then you will definitely be rewarded handsomely by the Imperial Master.

Lu Hu accidentally found this piece of ore when he went to Daxuan this time.

It originally planned to present it to the Imperial Master after returning to the Demon Palace.

Now provoked by Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan, it couldn't help but took out the ore.

Really, there's nothing better about it.

Su Mu took the ore into his arms and said expressionlessly, "It's okay. I can't ask too much of you."

Lu Hu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

You killed our people and extorted a precious mineral from me, and now you are still saying this?
This is what the national teacher said about getting an advantage and still acting ungrateful.

Just wait for me. For what you have done now, I, the Demon Court, will make you pay back tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!

When the time comes for peace talks, let us, the Demon Court, propose our conditions!
Lu Hu didn't want to bother with the two Taiping captains anymore, so he quickly walked to the front of the convoy, leading the way while secretly contacting other demon detectives using the Demon Court's unique method.

Cang Gou and his group were completely wiped out, so they had to change their strategy.

…………

Looking at Lu Hu's back, Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan smiled at each other.

"you know?"

Su Mu took the ore in his hand and shook it up and down.

Although he didn't recognize this ore, seeing the painful look on Lu Hu's face, this ore should be very valuable to the Demon Court.

that's enough.

"I don't know him either."

Xu Chongyuan said confidently.

He is not a weaponsmith, so how would he know these rare minerals?

Su Mu gave him a displeased look and said, "If you don't know me, then you don't know me. Why are you so proud?"
He suddenly missed Luo An Ning.

If Miss Luo were here, she might recognize this ore.

"This is the Sky Stone."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Mingyang came up to the two of them and said in amazement.

He had just seen the whole thing happen from a distance.

Su Mu actually "tricked" a piece of Kongming Stone from Lu Hu, which really opened his eyes.

Lu Mingyang had seen many humans suffer at the hands of monsters, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Su Mu, who could toy with monsters at will.

Those monsters were obviously sent by the Demon Court to make things difficult for them. Now Su Mu not only killed those monsters, but also asked Lu Hu to take out a piece of Kongming Stone.

Yao Ting's Chunchun not only lost his wife but also his army.

"Void Stone? Lord Lu has also done some research on weapon casting?"

Su Mu looked at Lu Mingyang and said with a smile.

"I don't know anything about forging weapons, I just read more books."

Lu Mingyang said, "The Sky Stone is a very rare mineral. It is said that it can be used to create a special kind of mysterious weapon."

"What special Xuanbing?"

Xu Chongyuan asked curiously.

"A mysterious weapon with built-in space that can carry items."

Lu Mingyang said.

"Space ring?"

Su Mu said with some surprise.

He had inquired before, and it seemed that in this world, there was no storage ring that he was familiar with in his previous life.

What Lu Mingyang said now is clearly true.

“Naturally, it can also be made into the shape of a ring.”

Lu Mingyang said, “However, the Void Stone is extremely rare, and a forger who can use the Void Stone to forge a mysterious weapon is even rarer.

As far as I know, no weapon forger has ever been able to create a mysterious weapon with inner space."

"Isn't that just like a piece of scrap metal?"

Xu Chongyuan said somewhat disappointedly.

What’s the point of it being rare if no one can use it?
"That's not the case either."

Lu Mingyang said, "Although no weapon forger can use it to create a mysterious weapon with inner space, if some Kongming Stone is added when forging a mysterious weapon, the forged mysterious weapon can be enlarged or shrunk to a certain extent."

"Lord Su, your pair of winged black soldiers should have been made with void stones when they were forged."

Lu Mingyang said.

He also saw Su Mu display his wind and thunder wings.

Su Mu nodded. The wind and thunder wings were usually only the size of a palm, but when used, they could change to a size of ten feet.

It is much more convenient than the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

The Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow is almost one person tall, and even if it is not in use, you still have to carry it on your back.

As for the wind and thunder wings, when not in use, you can just put them in your arms, and it will not affect your movements at all.

"So, we made a profit?"

Xu Chongyuan said, "Of course I made a profit."

Lu Mingyang said, "I guess Lu Hu doesn't know the true function of the Kongming Stone, otherwise he would never give it to you so easily."

"That's called being blind."

Xu Chongyuan said proudly.

Su Mu was a little helpless. We didn’t recognize this Kongming Stone just now, okay? Are you scolding us even?

"Master Lu, since no weapon forger has ever forged a mysterious weapon with inner space, why is there such a saying?"

Su Mu said thoughtfully.

Ordinary Xuanbing would be fine, but Su Mu was very tempted by the space storage ring.

If I had a space storage ring, it would be much more convenient to carry things.

For example, after killing a monster, its huge corpse will not be wasted.

"This is the idea of ​​a weapon forger."

Lu Mingyang said, "I don't know whether it's true or not. Although he has this idea, he doesn't have enough Void Stones for him to try, so it's not certain whether it will work."

"Who is that weaponsmith? If he is willing, I can give him this piece of Void Stone to try!"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"you sure?"

Lu Mingyang was stunned for a moment, "You should know that the Kongming Stone is priceless, and your Kongming Stone can at least be exchanged for two or three powerful Xuan weapons.

But if you try and fail, you will have nothing.”

"I am sure."

Su Mu said.

"That's a coincidence."

Lu Mingyang smiled and said, "The weapon forger I'm talking about is Master Zhang Zhongmei."

"Master Zhang? Isn't he a civil servant?"

Su Mu showed surprise on his face.

Zhang Zhongmei was the civil servant whom he had rescued from the hawk monster before.

He was also a civil servant in the delegation, whose official rank was second only to Zhu Jiuyuan. He held the fifth rank and was on the same level as Su Mu.

Su Mu didn't expect that Zhang Zhongmei, who usually looked taciturn, would actually be a weapon casting master.

"It's true that Lord Zhang is a civil servant, but he is also a weaponsmith."

Lu Mingyang explained, "Master Zhang's mother was a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and his father was a Hanlin scholar. Master Zhang has been practicing weapon casting since he was young, but because he has no martial arts aptitude, he cannot enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"Can a person who doesn't practice martial arts become a weaponsmith?"

Xu Chongyuan asked doubtfully, "Why did I hear that casting Xuanbing also requires extremely high martial arts skills?

I say, Lord Lu, you are not trying to cheat Junior Brother Su out of his Kongming Stone, are you?

You scholars just have too many tricks—"

Lu Mingyang: “…”

"I am just stating a fact. It is Lord Su's business to decide what to do. I will not interfere."

Lu Mingyang said seriously.

Xu Chongyuan wanted to say something else, but Su Mu stopped him.

"I'll go talk to Master Zhang later."

Su Mu interrupted the topic, put away the Kongming Stone, looked at Lu Mingyang and said, "Master Lu, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Ah."

Lu Mingyang glanced at Xu Chongyuan, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Teacher said that the demonic energy ahead is becoming stronger, and Lu Hu may be deliberately leading us to take this road.

Once we are affected by the demonic energy, we are likely to become extremely irrational."

"What does Master Zhu mean?"

Su Mu asked thoughtfully.

"The teacher said that you, Master Su, should make the decision. As long as we can reach the Demon Court, it will be fine."

Lu Mingyang said seriously.

Their mission is to negotiate with the Demon Court, and Su Mu's mission is to escort them to the Demon Court safely.

"understood."

Su Mu nodded and said.

Lu Mingyang bowed, turned around and went back to serve Zhu Jiuyuan.

Su Mu came to the front of the convoy.

"Let's set up camp here today."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Now?"

Lu Hu was stunned for a moment, "We have only been walking for half a day, Lord Su, if we continue like this, when will we reach the Demon Court?
We could have gone dozens of miles before dark."

"I say, set up camp and rest."

Su Mu looked at Lu Hu and said calmly.

Lu Hu felt a chill in his heart. He had a feeling that if he dared to say another word, he would immediately turn into a dead donkey monster.

This Su Mu is really too domineering.

It was not until Su Mu walked back that Lu Hu woke up, his body soaked in cold sweat.

…………

Everyone was busy setting up camp, and Su Mu went straight to Zhang Zhongmei.

Hearing Su Mu's purpose, Zhang Zhongmei showed a bitter smile.

"Master Su, you saved my life. Logically, if I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."

Zhang Zhongmei said, “But I really can’t help you with forging weapons with the Void Stone.

As for the matter of forging weapons, that was all just bragging to Lord Lu when I was drunk.

I do know a lot about the theory of weapon forging, but I have never forged a mysterious weapon myself. I have not even succeeded in forging an ordinary magical weapon.

I’m just talking on paper.”

Zhang Zhongmei's expression was somewhat bitter.

In terms of theory, he believed that he was no inferior to any disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But there was nothing he could do, he had no talent for martial arts, and even after spending a lot of resources, he couldn't even step into the threshold of body tempering.

However, weapon casting requires extremely high physical fitness. Even if he has mastered a wealth of knowledge about weapon casting, he can only be considered as blacksmithing at best, and cannot be considered as weapon casting at all.

"Really can not?"

Su Mu frowned.

"That's not true."

Zhang Zhongmei hesitated for a moment and whispered, “Using the Kongming Stone to create a mysterious weapon with inner space, this is indeed what I told Lord Lu.

The normal method of casting weapons is not feasible for my physique, so I have been trying to think of other methods.

I have thought of a way, but I am not sure whether it will work. "

Although he was not short of money, he was not so extravagant as to use the Kongming Stone for experiments.

His family would never let him waste such a good thing.

There was some anticipation but also some hesitation in Zhang Zhongmei's eyes.

"How sure are you?"

Su Mu pondered.

"I have deduced this thousands of times, and the probability of success should be 30%."

Zhang Zhongmei said.

After thousands of deductions, the success rate is only 30%.

This is almost certain to fail.

"If it's the ring you mentioned, Lord Su, I think the chance of success can be increased by 10%."

Zhang Zhongmei said with some guilt.

A 40% probability is also very low.

That is the Kongming Stone. Once it fails, the Kongming Stone will be useless.

"Forty percent, it's time to take a gamble."

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then placed the Kongming Stone in front of Zhang Zhongmei, "Master Zhang, give it a try. I hope you can create the space ring before arriving at the Demon Court.

Of course, even if I fail, it will be my fault.”

Zhang Zhongmei took the Kongming Stone, his hands trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, raised his head, his eyes red, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Lord Su. Zhang will do his best!"

A gentleman will die for his friend, and no one has ever regarded him as a true weaponsmith.

Now he has it, and Su Mu also gave him such a precious Kongming Stone.

He, Zhang Zhongmei, will live up to expectations. He will use this Kongming Stone to become a true weaponsmith!
