Starting from iron smelting

Lu Xiuyuan cast a doubtful look at him and said, "Are you sure this small axe is okay? It would be a pity if it breaks. Don't blame me if it breaks."

Li Er said with disdain: "I can tell from the first glance that you have never seen the world. This is not an ordinary axe, it is an axe blessed by a master. Even an ordinary person can use this axe to sharpen gold and jade, and cut iron like mud.

Moreover, the Huanglong wood chopped with a jade axe will not leak spiritual energy, and the quality can be preserved. Don't ask so many questions, just work hard. Your task today is to chop down five Huanglong trees, so hurry up and do it."

Lu Xiuyuan held the small and delicate jade axe in his hand, the axe blade flashing with cold light, and began his journey of chopping trees in Beishan Forest Farm. Although the axe looked small, it was extremely sharp, and every strike made the trees tremble and produce huge cracks.

The "scales" on the tree trunk flew off one after another, like green raindrops falling, instantly turning the surrounding scenery into a lush green. This axe was not only extremely sharp, but also extremely delicate. Lu Xiuyuan felt a strange energy coming from the axe. Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself that this axe was too powerful. If it hit an ordinary person, it would be covered in bruises and purples.

Every time he swung his axe, he seemed to have some kind of connection with this mysterious sea of ​​trees. He could feel the vitality flowing among the trees, and seemed to have merged with this ancient forest.

Lu Xiuyuan's movements were skillful and powerful, and he quickly adapted to the rhythm of felling. As gaps continued to appear on the tree trunks, his eyes flickered with curiosity and exploration of the unknown. This small axe became the link between him and the Beishan Forest Farm. Amid the sound of the axe hitting and the sound of the leaves falling from the trees, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This axe is not just a tool, it seems to contain some kind of mysterious energy, or it can mobilize the user's physical strength. Every time he swings it, Lu Xiuyuan can feel the power flowing from the earth to his legs, then to his waist and arms, and finally to the axe, bursting out with powerful power.

Soon, the huge Huanglong tree fell down under Lu Xiuyuan's efforts, and the heavy trunk stirred up a cloud of dust. The cross section cut by the jade axe was so smooth, without any cracks or fluctuations, as if the tree was born to be cut down by him.

As the Huanglong tree fell to the ground, a strange wood fragrance spread and hit the nose. This fragrance is unique and fresh, refreshing, as if it can awaken the tranquility deep in the soul. Lu Xiuyuan felt his breathing become deeper, and as the fragrance entered his body, his body gradually became stronger and more energetic. In this wonderful atmosphere, Lu Xiuyuan began to feel his body.

He found that his strength seemed even stronger, and every muscle seemed to have been stimulated to a greater potential. Not only that, he felt a closer connection with the surrounding nature, as if he had established a special resonance with this ancient forest. The power flowing through his limbs made him feel unprecedented comfort and enjoyment.

Lu Xiuyuan was intoxicated by the charming wood fragrance. He found that the fragrance seemed to stimulate the body's functions and make his senses more acute. He seemed to be integrated into this mysterious forest and became one with nature. This was an indescribable pleasure, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Li Er's urging broke the tranquility at this moment: "Don't stand there in a daze, hurry up and work, don't dawdle, you have just chopped down one tree, and there are still four trees waiting for you to chop down."

Lu Xiuyuan responded casually, "Okay, I'll take a short break and continue right away." He stopped what he was doing, stood there, and stared into the distance with a dazed look. His mind replayed the scenes of felling the Huanglong tree, and his thoughts seemed to be immersed in the magical wood fragrance.

He recalled the feeling of exerting force every time, and felt the power of his muscles tensing up. Huanglongmumuxiang brought him not only pleasure, but also enlightenment on his physical fitness. He began to appreciate the benefits to his body in his heart, and thought about how to better use this power.

Lu Xiuyuan gradually found a sense of resonance with the power of nature, as if he had some special tacit understanding with this ancient forest. This short break made Lu Xiuyuan have a deeper understanding of himself, and gradually figured out the so-called "cultivation" door.

Lu Xiuyuan continued to swing the jade axe, and each swing seemed to be more relaxed. He gradually found the harmony between the axe and his own strength. As the axe light flickered, he had a deeper understanding of the technique of swinging, and each movement seemed to be carefully designed, full of strength and rhythm.

As time went by, the speed of felling trees became faster and faster. Each swing was as smooth as flowing water, effortless. The yellow dragon trees fell down one after another under his hands, and the neat cross-sections looked like they were carefully carved by an artist.

This made Lu Xiuyuan feel immersed in his skills and a perfect grasp of the use of strength. Neat rows of Huanglong wood piled up around him, as if he was playing a piece of exciting music with his axe. Lu Xiuyuan constantly challenged himself in the process of playing, breaking through and moving forward, gradually interpreting the art of felling to the extreme.

Li Er stared at the neat rows of yellow dragon wood, his eyes revealing his admiration for Lu Xiuyuan. Li Er, who had no expectations for this novice, did not expect to see such a skilled felling technique.

He was also glad that he could recruit such a talent. Such labor was really rare. It would be a pity if he used him just once and then wasted him. He would have fewer ways to make money in the future.

However, Li Er quickly restrained his emotions, forced a smile, turned his head and instructed Lu Xiuyuan: "This tree is called Huanglong Tree. Its wood is Huanglong Wood, but the wood core is what really works. You need to use an axe to remove the wood bit by bit and pull out the wood core. Only then can you complete the task."

His voice revealed his expectation for the task, and also expressed his concern about whether Lu Xiuyuan could complete this key step. After all, the growth cycle of the Huanglong tree is extremely long, and the tree species is extremely rare. If it weren't for someone's secret help, he would not be able to own the Beishan Forest Farm, but he was just a miser, a watchdog, and a coolie. He helped the mysterious man to watch the door and do things, and the mysterious man made him rich and prosperous for the rest of his life, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. This deal couldn't be said to be unprofitable. Li Er always valued his relationship with the mysterious man and tried to keep everything under his control, but he was indeed short and could not exert the power of the jade axe given by the mysterious man, so he always arranged for his servants to do this.

Whenever a servant finished his work, his life would almost come to an end, either because his physical strength and energy were exhausted or because his spiritual energy was sucked out by the wood core. This was why the shopkeeper always called for new people to come, and why Li Er never took this thing for himself, even though it was so good. As long as the servant died, the wages would be divided equally among everyone, and the luggage would be shared by everyone. This was an unspoken secret in the firewood shop.

After thinking about this, Li Er continued to urge Lu Xiuyuan to work quickly. After listening to this, Lu Xiuyuan silently pondered Li Er's instructions. He picked up the small jade axe again, gently touched the surface of a piece of Huanglong wood, tapped it lightly with the axe tip, and then began to carefully cut the wood along the direction of the wood grain.

The axe flashed, and each axe strike was precise and powerful. Lu Xiuyuan not only had to maintain control of the wood, but also had to be careful not to damage the wood core. This is a very skillful process that requires great patience and keen observation. Lu Xiuyuan felt the resonance between himself and the Huanglong wood, and gradually entered a state of tacit understanding. Gradually, the wood core of the Huanglong wood was skillfully removed by Lu Xiuyuan, and each section of the wood core appeared to be unusually complete.
