The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 243: Divine Weapon Pavilion (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)

Daxuan Capital City.

Inside a luxury mansion in Washington.

The three of them sat around the table.

"Why are you so mysterious?"

A charming woman couldn't help but speak.

Zhang Zhongmei did not say anything, but made sure that the doors and windows were closed, then she placed a small ring on the table with great care.

The middle-aged man and woman sitting opposite him looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"It's just a ring. You can use it to please your wife. Why are you showing it to us?"

The woman smiled.

She is Zhang Zhongmei's mother and also a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

As for the other man, he was naturally Zhang Zhongmei's father, who was now a minister in the imperial court and extremely noble.

Zhang Zhongmei did not explain. He knew that his parents were from wealthy families and were used to seeing good things.

He just picked up a teacup.

Swish!
The teacup disappeared.

"Juggling?"

Zhang's mother laughed. Although she was a martial arts master, she really couldn't figure out how her son did it.

This was somewhat strange, as she knew that her son was just an ordinary man and did not practice martial arts.

Logically speaking, his actions should not be hidden from his own eyes.

Zhang Zhongmei stretched out his hand and slapped the ring, and the disappeared teacup reappeared in his hand.

This time, Zhang's mother finally saw it clearly.

The smile on her face froze suddenly, and an incredible look appeared in her eyes.

"This is--"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Yes."

Zhang Zhongmei nodded affirmatively, "This is a mysterious weapon. I named it a space ring. It has a built-in space and can store items."

click!
Zhang's mother was so excited that she broke off a piece of the table.

The Zhang father and son's eyebrows trembled. They were both ordinary people.

"Where did this come from?"

Father Zhang was the first to react and asked in a deep voice.

He married a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Even if he was just an ordinary person, he was influenced by the disciples and had a good understanding of the divine weapons.

"I forged it."

Zhang Zhongmei said somewhat complacently, "Or rather, I was in charge of the casting, but the materials used were provided by Su Mu, the Pacification Envoy of the Taiping Division.

This space ring is also the reward he gave me!"

He recounted what had happened in detail.

“You shouldn’t have accepted it.”

Mother Zhang was silent for a while, a look of relief appeared in her eyes, and she spoke slowly.

Of course she knew that her son had a dream of becoming a weaponsmith since he was a child, but she also knew that her son had no talent for martial arts and would never be able to become a weaponsmith in his lifetime.

Although he had some brilliant ideas later on, they were basically impossible in Zhang's mother's opinion.

There aren't that many warriors who would listen to him.

Unexpectedly, his son was so lucky that someone was willing to believe in him and give him priceless weapon-making materials to try!

I never thought that my son would actually do it!
Zhang's mother was a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, so she naturally knew that it was Su Mu who gave her son the opportunity. It would be a bit too much for her to take away his space ring.

"I didn't want to accept it, but Su Mu insisted on giving it to me."

Zhang Zhongmei sighed and said, "Besides, this is a space ring. Mom, are you really not tempted?"

"How can I not be moved?"

Zhang's mother said, "But your father said that a gentleman should earn money in a proper way."

She looked at Zhang's father with admiration, and Zhang's father held her hand tenderly.

Zhang Zhongmei couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said she was dealing with business, but ended up being fed a mouthful of dog food.

"I've thought about it. We in the Zhang family can't keep this ring."

Zhang Zhongmei said, "So, I plan to give it to the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang's father and mother came to their senses and looked at Zhang Zhongmei with serious expressions.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Father Zhang said, his tone full of relief.

"Think about it."

Zhang Zhongmei said, "The value of the space ring is self-evident, even the current emperor would be tempted by it.

If people find out that my Zhang family is in his hands, it will definitely bring disaster.

Why not give it to the Divine Weapon Pavilion in exchange for something we need."

"Don't let the benefits blind your eyes, Zhong'er, you have grown up."

Father Zhang said with relief.

"Alright."

Mother Zhang nodded and said, "Zhong'er, you are already able to forge Xuanbing, and with this space ring, it is more than enough for you to get a position as an elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

I will go talk to the Pavilion Master. If he dares not agree, I will give this ring to his old enemy!"

"Mom, what am I doing as an elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

Zhang Zhongmei shook his head and said, "I've been a good official in the court. I've done a great job on this mission, and I'm sure I'll be promoted to a higher position.

I am not interested in the position of the Elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"Then what do you want?"

Mother Zhang asked.

"I want to use it to exchange for weapon refining techniques!"

Zhang Zhongmei said in a deep voice.

Mother Zhang looked at her son and frowned.

"you sure?"

she couldn't help but ask.

As a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, she is also a weapon-smith, so she naturally knows what the weapon refining method Zhang Zhongmei mentioned is.

Rumor has it that the founder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion accidentally obtained a magic technique from immortals, which is the weapon refining method that Zhang Zhongmei mentioned.

Although the founder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion failed to comprehend the method of refining weapons, he did learn the art of forging weapons and thus created the weapon-forging school.

According to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, weapons are divided into ordinary weapons, mysterious weapons, and divine weapons which are stronger than mysterious weapons.

Above the divine weapons, there are immortal weapons.

Ordinary weapon-casting techniques can only produce mysterious weapons at best.

However, divine and immortal weapons can only be made through the weapon refining method.

Outsiders thought that this was a legend made up by the Divine Weapon Pavilion to raise its own status, but Zhang's mother knew that the weapon refining method really existed.

The weapon refining method does exist, but only the most core disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion have the opportunity to access it.

"The space ring, plus my self-created weapon-making method, I think is enough."

Zhang Zhongmei said in a deep voice.

"Even if it's just this space ring, based on my understanding of the Pavilion Master, he will also exchange the weapon refining method for you."

Mother Zhang said in a deep voice, “But the weapon refining method has never been mastered by anyone since the founder. Divine weapons and immortal weapons may just be the realm deduced by the founder, and may not be real.

You used it to exchange for a useless weapon refining method..."

"Before I succeeded, the space ring was also a legend."

Zhang Zhongmei said confidently.

Mother Zhang was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "If that's the case, then you should give it a try."

…………

Songjiang Prefecture. Taipingsi Yamen.

"I'm not asking for too much. You're not a weaponsmith, so you don't understand. Weapons are subject to loss."

Huo Zhenting sat opposite Su Mu and said with a wronged look on his face, "I received your message and immediately rushed over from afar. It's okay if I worked for nothing, but you can't ask me to pay for it again, right?"

"This bow is a Xuan weapon. You won't lose out if you exchange it for a sword or other Xuan weapon."

Su Mu said lightly.

"I can't change it. I have to pay more."

Huo Zhenting's eyes rolled around, "You don't have to pay more, just sell me a shop next to the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, and I'll pay for it."

The construction of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture is in full swing.

Chen Yougong showed amazing coordination skills. Under his great coordination, almost all the well-known families in Songjiang Prefecture participated.

A large number of craftsmen were involved in the project, and building materials were delivered in a steady stream.

Before, the Wen family had planned to stop Su Mu from building the Bailu Academy. But now, not only did they fail to stop it, but those families became Su Mu's helpers.

Having seen Chen Yougong's ability, Su Mu simply expanded the project.

He directly carried out a wave of demolition around the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, and then built an entire commercial street.

In the future, this street will allow families in Songjiang Prefecture to do business and make money from monsters.

When Huo Zhenting arrived, he immediately spotted the business opportunity.

He insisted on buying a shop on that street, but the families in Songjiang Prefecture were not stupid.

It's obvious that this business will make money in the future, so how could they sell people now?
All the shops were already taken, and Huo Zhenting had no choice but to pester Su Mu.

"Help me coordinate a shop, and I will buy it for a high price! If it works, I will not only help you replace this bow with a sword, but I will also help you forge one, no, three, of these weapons for free!"

Huo Zhenting gritted his teeth.

In order to take over the shop next to Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, he spent all his money.

"I heard that you have magic weapons in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. If you help me get one, I will buy it. As long as it works, let alone one shop, even if it's several, we can discuss it."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Divine weapon? You want to—"

Huo Zhenting blurted out, but before he could finish his sentence, he realized that Su Mu was his savior after all, and he couldn't be too rude.

"I'll tell you the truth, there are indeed magical weapons, but the Magic Weapon Pavilion doesn't have them."

Huo Zhenting said, "In this world today, no weapon forger can forge a magic weapon. I can't do it, and no one in the Magic Weapon Pavilion can do it. The weapon forgers in your Taiping Division can't do it either."

"Without the magic weapon, forget about running a shop."

Su Mu said, "But we can cooperate to forge weapons. I will provide the materials and you can help me forge the weapons."

"Actually, if you want a magic weapon, it's not hopeless."

Huo Zhenting suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? Didn't you say that the Divine Weapon Pavilion doesn't have any divine weapons?"

Su Mu asked doubtfully.

"There's none in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but I didn't say there's none in other places."

Huo Zhenting said, "Do you still remember that something strange happened in Daxing Mountain a few years ago?
At that time, you Wuling also encountered a wave of monsters."

Su Mu nodded, of course he remembered.

It was after that demon wave that he became famous in Taiping Division, and then he walked step by step to where he is today.

It was also because of the unusual movements in Daxing Mountains that he was ordered to cross Daxing Mountains and go to Huju Pass.

It can be said that the reason why Su Mu is where he is today is all due to the unusual movement in Daxing Mountain.

“Initially everyone thought it was a normal change in the earth veins, until not long ago, when a warrior was exploring in the Daxing Mountains, he accidentally discovered a secret cave of an ancient martial artist.

It is said that a magical weapon was found in that cave."

Huo Zhenting said.

"Really?"

Su Mu felt like he was listening to a story.

"It's probably true. To tell the truth, if you hadn't sent me the message, I would have been there by now."

Huo Zhenting said, "Ever since that secret cave was discovered, many people have gone to join in the fun. The Taiping Department, the Supervisory Department, various sects, and even the demons from the Pure Land Sect have gone to rob it."

"So, no one has actually grabbed that magic weapon yet?"

Su Mu pondered.

"Yes, if we go over now, we might have a chance to succeed."

Huo Zhenting said.

Su Mu thought for a while and then burst out laughing.

Not to mention that he had duties to perform and could not leave Songjiang Prefecture at will.

Even if he could, he wouldn't join in the fun.

Regardless of whether what Huo Zhenting said was true or false, the cave of the ancient martial artist must be full of dangers.

It's not worth taking risks for a magical weapon.

"Not interested in."

Su Mu shook his head and refused.

"Don't you want a magic weapon? This may be your only chance."

Huo Zhenting said, "You have to know that even in the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Taiping Division, no one can forge a divine weapon now."

"If no one has it, then isn't that the same as not having a magic weapon?"

Su Mu said lightly.

Huo Zhenting: “…”

What you said makes so much sense, I don't know how to refute you.

If no one has it, then it means that it doesn’t exist in the world?
"Aren't you worried that the magic weapon might fall into the hands of the evil leader of the Pure Land Sect?"

Huo Zhenting said.

"Is it my turn to worry about it?"

Su Mu asked back.

"I am just a small pacification officer. There are so many commanders in the Taiping Division, and there are also several marquises. It is not my turn to worry about such things."

Su Mu said calmly, "You also said that all the forces went to snatch it. How do you know that the Pure Land Sect has the ability to snatch the magic weapon away?"

"You are too young to understand that sometimes this thing is unreasonable. It doesn't mean that you can get it just because you are strong."

Huo Zhenting sighed and said, "Sometimes, luck is also a very important aspect."

"In that case, I think you can give it a try. You can come back alive even if you fall into the hands of the demon court. You must be very lucky. What if you can snatch it?

If you really manage to snatch it and don't want the magic weapon anymore, you can sell it to me. Money is not a problem.

I have money.”

Su Mu said with a smile.

He was not joking. He had saved a lot of money since his time in Wuling City.

His practice was different from that of others. It did not require the consumption of too many resources, and most of the money he earned was saved.

It may not be enough to buy a magic weapon, but it is definitely a considerable number.

It is also foreseeable that he will make a fortune after the construction of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture is completed.

So he really has a lot of money.

"Forget it. I have a bad rap with places like that. If I really go there, I might get trapped in the cave for many years."

Huo Zhenting was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head and said, "Do it yourself, you will have enough food and clothing, I'd better study it myself, who knows, maybe one day I will be able to forge a magic weapon myself.

Unfortunately, I was not able to learn the weapon refining method..."

He muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

Su Mu asked.

"nothing."

Huo Zhenting said, "I mean, are you interested in learning the art of weapon casting? I can teach you, as long as you help me buy a shop, one shop, then..."
