"Of course I know you are a weaponsmith."

Shi Binbin said, “But one weapon caster is different from another, Su Mu, don’t use your hobbies to challenge other people’s ability to make a living.

You usually just cast a few ordinary weapons to fool people who don't know anything about it.

who am I?
I am Shi Binbin, and my ancestors for three generations were all weapon forgers. Although I have not learned the art of weapon forging myself, I have seen a lot. "

He patted Su Mu's shoulder and said, "There's no need to brag in front of your brother. I tell you, my fees are really fair.

If you find an outside weaponsmith, they will definitely charge you a lot, at least half of your weapon-making materials."

"I did not mean that."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "I can actually forge a mysterious weapon myself."

"That's not interesting."

The smile on Shi Binbin's face froze, "I admit that I did make some money from you, but you can't insult me ​​like this, right?
Just to reject me, you can even say such a thing?
Where do you find the time to practice the art of weapon forging?
Others may not know, but don’t I know?
If you want to master the skill of casting Xuanbing, it is impossible without many years of experience in casting weapons."

"What I said is real."

Su Mu laughed dumbly and said, "Since I was in Wuling City, I have been casting weapons almost every day. It was the same in Songjiang Prefecture. It's just that after coming to the capital, I don't have the conditions, so I haven't cast weapons in the past few months.

It's not that I don't want you to make money from me, how about this, this time it's all thanks to you that Tan Shulang has to bleed a lot, to express my gratitude, how about I forge a mysterious weapon for you personally?"

Su Mu had a smile on his face.

Shi Binbin has been running around these days and has indeed put in a lot of effort.

It's reasonable to give him a mysterious weapon.

That’s perfect, I can also practice.

Su Mu was still a little hesitant about whether to spend points to upgrade the Tiangong Refining Technique, but now he has made up his mind.

Since we have obtained so many dragon blood stones from Tan Shulan, wouldn’t it be a waste not to forge them into mysterious weapons?
Su Mu was worried about entrusting it to someone else for casting. Secondly, if he entrusts it to someone else for casting, there will definitely be losses.

In that case, why not do it yourself?

Casting Xuanbing can not only reduce losses, but also gain extra points. Why not do it?

"Can you really forge a mysterious weapon?"

Shi Binbin frowned and looked at Su Mu.

He came from a family of weaponsmiths and knew better than anyone what it meant to be a weaponsmith who could forge mysterious weapons.

If a person wants to achieve something in the art of forging weapons, he must invest a lot of time and energy in it.

This is bound to affect the improvement of martial arts skills.

Shi Binbin's father's talent in martial arts was no less than his, but because he was obsessed with weapon-making when he was young, he was unable to break through to the Jindan realm until he was sixty years old.

If it weren't for this, he might even have had a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.

The result was that his martial arts cultivation was delayed because of his practice of weapon-making techniques.

There are gains and losses. Although his martial arts skills are not top-notch, his father is the best weapon forger in the Taiping Division and is quite respected.

When it came to Shi Binbin, he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so he simply put all his energy into practicing martial arts. He was even unwilling to spend energy on practicing martial arts.

As long as your cultivation is high enough, you can completely ignore martial arts and overwhelm others with force.

Now Su Mu told him that someone, while practicing martial arts, had also comprehended countless kinds of artistic conception, and had also mastered the ability to forge mysterious weapons. How was this possible?
"Have I ever lied?"

Su Mu said calmly, "What good would it be for me to lie to you about this kind of thing?

Anyway, there is still no news from the marquises, and now that I have these dragon blood stones, I will forge a mysterious weapon for you as a reward for your help during this period.

But you have to help me find a place where I can forge weapons."

He has now been promoted to commander, but his garrison location has not yet been determined.

Before, he was only in charge of Xiangzhou and Yuzhou temporarily. Now the official appointment has to wait for the return of several marquises to decide.

So he is now a commander without a real job.

There are quite a few such commanders in the Taiping Division’s headquarters. They are all firefighters on weekdays. They will rush to provide assistance to any state where there is a problem.

"Are you really playing?"

Shi Binbin said, "It's easy to find a place to cast weapons. We have a smelting department in the Taiping Division. If you think there are too many people there, you can go to my house.

I have everything I need to forge weapons at home.

If I fail, with my father here, there might still be a chance to make amends."

Su Mu smiled.

He knew that Shi Binbin meant well, but he still felt a little unhappy about being looked down upon.

"If you don't want to bother me, I'll go to your house."

Su Mu said slowly, "What kind of Xuanbing do you want?"

"Whatever Xuanbing I want, I can have it? Can you even tailor it for me?"

Shi Binbin said in surprise.

There are many kinds of weapon forgers, and some of them are only good at forging one kind of weapon throughout their lives.

There are also some weapon-smiths who are proficient in all kinds of weapons.

The latter can create some specific mysterious weapons according to the requirements of warriors.

However, such weapon-casting masters who are proficient in all aspects are extremely rare, and any one of them is a world-famous weapon-casting master.

"You make the request, and whether I can do it is my business."

Su Mu said lightly.

He was practicing the Tiangong weapon-refining method. If he couldn't even forge a mere mysterious weapon, wouldn't it be a waste of the name Tiangong?
"You said it, don't blame me if you get embarrassed."

Shi Binbin thought about it for a moment, and that damn desire to win also jumped out.

He just couldn't believe it. Su Mu was so young, but his martial arts skills were far superior to those of his peers, and even his weapon-making skills could catch up with his father.

He had to let Su Mu know what it meant to hit a wall.

"When traveling around the world, the most important thing is to be able to escape even if you can't win."

Shi Binbin said, "You know, although I am a well-rounded person, my martial arts skills have always been my weakest point, and my speed is just a little bit worse.

As far as I know, there is a kind of mysterious weapon in the world that can increase the speed of warriors. My father has always wanted to forge a similar mysterious weapon for me, but after many attempts, the final results were not satisfactory. The most he could do was to increase my speed by 10%. "

Su Mu was speechless.

Is a 10% increase in speed not enough?
For a warrior, a slight error can lead to a huge mistake. A 10% speed difference is already huge.

"If you have the ability, then help me forge a mysterious weapon of this type. It would be best if it could increase my speed by 15% or even 20%."

Shi Binbin said.

Even his father couldn't do this, so he didn't believe that Su Mu could do it.

When Su Mu fails, he will definitely tell Su Mu in the attitude of an elder brother that young man, don't talk nonsense, be down-to-earth, and it is not shameful to admit your shortcomings in front of your brothers.

"A Xuanbing that increases speed, right?"

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem."

…………

Father Shi looked Su Mu up and down.

He had heard of this world-famous genius for a long time, especially after Su Mu came to Daxuan Capital, he had heard this name from his son many times.

Seeing it today, I find it really lives up to its reputation.

The aura of this young man is as deep as the ocean, and his martial arts skills are more profound than his own.

but--

"You want to borrow the foundry furnace, no problem."

Father Shi pondered and said, "I am just curious, I have no other intentions. Who is your teacher of weapon forging?"

After all, he was much more stable than Shi Binbin, and he did not question Su Mu, but asked indirectly. "I have a friend named Zhang Zhongmei."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"I have another friend named Huo Zhenting."

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion."

Father Shi nodded. This meant that Su Mu might have indeed learned the art of weapon forging.

He knew Zhang Zhongmei, and his theoretical knowledge of weapon forging was indeed outstanding, but due to his limited talent in martial arts, he failed to become a true weapon forger.

However, I heard some time ago that Zhang Zhongmei had developed a special weapon-casting technique, so that even ordinary people could cast mysterious weapons.

As for Huo Zhenting, he is a true disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"I heard that Zhang Zhongmei created a method of casting weapons on an assembly line..."

Father Shi pondered and said.

“I gave him this name.”

Su Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang doesn't practice martial arts, so he has difficulty completing some weapon-casting movements by himself. So he breaks down the weapon-casting process into steps, with each step being performed by a warrior. In this way, the entire weapon-casting movement can be completed in the end."

“It’s truly a brilliant idea.”

After all, Shi Fu was a master of weapon forging. After listening to Su Mu's words, he only thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.

"Master Zhang's method is still being perfected, and we plan to promote it in the smelting department of the Taiping Division in the future. At that time, we will need your guidance, Master Shi."

Su Mu said.

"That's the duty."

Father Shi said calmly, “Since you are on good terms with Zhang Zhongmei and Huo Zhenting, there should be no problem with the art of forging weapons, but forging mysterious weapons is different from forging ordinary weapons.

When casting ordinary weapons, failure is failure, and at most it is just a waste of some casting materials.

However, if something unexpected happens while forging a mysterious weapon, you may very likely end up hurting yourself.

So while you forge the weapon, it's okay for me to watch from the side, right?"

In fact, most weapon forgers don't like to have people watching them when they are forging Xuanbing. Especially for some unique techniques, they are afraid that others will steal them.

Mr. Shi’s request was actually a bit excessive.

But Su Mu understood what he meant, and he was well-intentioned.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he still didn't believe that he could really forge a mysterious weapon.

Well, he actually guessed right.

Now Su Mu does not have the ability to forge Xuanbing.

But he will have it soon.

It’s a pity that Zhang Zhongmei is still in Songjiang Prefecture and has not returned yet, otherwise, I wouldn’t have to explain so much to Father Shi.

There are great scholars who will debate the scriptures for me.

"Master Shi, please excuse me."

Su Mu said lightly.

Father Shi nodded slightly. Su Mu's ability in forging weapons is still unclear, but his open-mindedness is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The kid at home is far inferior to this guy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at Shi Binbin fiercely.

Shi Binbin was confused. Why were you glaring at me?

I haven't done anything.

Could it be that you think I’m taking too long to break through to the Jindan stage?
The thing is, I'm not even thirty yet.

Dongfang Liuyun is still a genius in the world, but hasn’t he made a breakthrough yet?
He is younger than me and has higher martial arts skills than me. In the entire Taiping Division, there is only one pervert, this one in front of me.

He pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Shi's father kicked him on the butt.

"Go and practice, don't be an eyesore here. You are old and can't do anything. What are you doing here? Do you understand weapon forging?"

Father Shi cursed.

Shi Binbin rolled his eyes and said, "You are the boss, so I won't bother with you!"

Not to mention the grievances in Shi Binbin's heart.

Su Mu walked into Shi Fu's workshop, picked up a casting hammer at random, and then with a slight thought, he called out the system panel.

He silently chanted in his heart, "Heavenly Artifact Refining Method, upgrade."

hum.

In an instant, endless information flooded into his mind.

He felt as if he appeared in a space surrounded by flames, with flames everywhere.

Inside the fiery red space, he kept swinging the hammer.

Sweat continuously poured out from the pores and was instantly evaporated into thick white mist by the high temperature.

He continued to forge the mysterious weapon, swinging the hammer tens of thousands of times and failing countless times.

Finally, he successfully forged a mysterious weapon.

He did not stop, but repeated his previous actions.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

I don’t know how much time has passed, nor do I know how many mysterious weapons have been cast.

There are eighteen kinds of weapons, and no one knows how many times each one has been cast.

He was already familiar with all the processes of forging Xuanbing.

Finally one day, quantitative change led to qualitative change.

He had a feeling of enlightenment.

It turns out that this is what forging a mysterious weapon is all about.

If one thing is clear, all things will be clear.

After the sudden realization, the words in the Tiangong Weapon Refining Method flowed through his mind like running water.

All the knowledge about Xuanbing automatically emerged in my mind.

He seemed to have been immersed in weapon forging for hundreds of years, and forging mysterious weapons was no longer a secret for him.

The points on the system panel were quietly cleared, and the Tiangong Weapon Refining Method was also upgraded to the level of minor success.

The Tiangong weapon refining method has been mastered to a certain extent, and can be used to forge mysterious weapons.

In Shi's father's eyes, Su Mu just walked into the shed, picked up a casting hammer, closed his eyes for a moment, and then his temperament suddenly changed.

Father Shi's expression suddenly became serious.

An expert knows the way.

He is the top weapon-casting master in Daxuan, and he can tell at a glance that Su Mu is not bluffing.

As soon as he picked up the casting hammer, Shi Fu already felt a similar breath.

"Could this kid really forge a mysterious weapon? How is this possible at his age?"

Father Shi said to himself, his eyes wide open, staring intently at Su Mu's every move.

Shi Binbin did not leave, but moved a chair and sat not far away, looking like he was watching the fun.

In his opinion, Su Mu was just fooling around and would give up on his own soon. There were not many opportunities to see someone like Su Mu fail, so how could he miss it?
