I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

"The waiter."

While eating his meal, Li Mu suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers coming in from the first floor, shouting loudly.

"coming."

"Cook this wild boar for us, and bring us a jar of good wine."

One of the soldiers pointed to a wild boar carried by two soldiers behind and said to the waiter.

"Okay everyone, please come upstairs."

Then a group of seven or eight people went up to the second floor.

"General, your arrow this time was amazing. You actually shot this wild boar from a tree hole a hundred meters away. We are very impressed."

"That's right, General, I might not be able to catch up with your skills even if I practice for another ten years."

"Hahaha, that's right. Before I joined the army, I was a hunter in my family. I can easily catch a wild boar."

……

Li Mu listened for a long time and found out that he was a soldier returning from hunting.

He didn't care and just started eating on his own.

"Boy, take me to the room."

After eating and drinking, Li Mu returned to his room, planning to practice for a while and then go out for a walk.

"Seller, can high-quality weapons be made here?"

On the third day, Li Mu found a large blacksmith shop. What was different from the blacksmith shops in Qingping County was that it actually had a lobby, which contained metal ore exhibition areas, metal exhibition areas, weapons exhibition areas, and so on.

Then Li Mu asked the people inside.

"The guest officer is joking. The masters who make high-grade weapons have all gone to the state capital and the capital. The mere counties and cities cannot accommodate them. We can make medium-grade weapons."

One of the men said to Li Mu.

"Oh, are there any high-grade metal materials?"

Li Mu wants to upgrade the Zhanma Sword. He feels that the Zhanma Sword is still barely usable now, but when he breaks through to a first-class warrior, he may not be able to use his full strength.

"There are high-quality metals, but does the guest know a blacksmith?"

The man asked curiously.

He thought Li Mu was going to buy some metal and find someone else to make high-quality weapons.

"Yes."

Li Mu didn't say that he was going to try it himself.

"Here, this is the top-grade metal Wujin. This is..."

The man then took Li Mu to an exhibition area in the lobby and said to Li Mu.

There are a total of eight high-grade metals, and Li Mu knows what their characteristics are. After all, Li Mu has read many ore books.

"This one weighs fifty kilograms, this one weighs eighty kilograms, this one..."

Li Mu ordered three kinds of metals and felt they were almost ready, so he went to another store and bought ten kilograms of special metals.

These metals cost Li Mu a total of more than 500 taels of silver. A high-grade weapon generally only weighs forty or fifty kilograms. Li Mu mainly needs to debug it, so there must be wear and tear.

Putting a few pieces of metal products in the cloth bag on Black Tornado's back, Li Mu came to an agency store again.

"Sir, if you want to rent a blacksmith's shop, you can find it right here."

"Yes, how much is it?"

Li Mu found the man and planned to rent a blacksmith shop to make a weapon himself.

"Eighty taels of silver a month, starting from one year, is ninety-six taels, plus the introduction fee, the monthly rent is one hundred and forty-four taels."

The middleman quickly calculated the cost and told Li Mu.

"Okay, you can help me contact three blacksmiths who can make low-grade weapons, and I will give you one hundred and ten taels of silver."

Li Mu planned to find a few more helpers. Ordinary blacksmiths were not sure, so he would find a few more capable ones.

"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll find it for you in half an hour."

The middleman was very happy, and he made some extra money for nothing, so he sent two more people to clean the blacksmith shop rented by Li Mu.

Li Mu was waiting for everyone to arrive at the house in the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

"Here you go, these three are the people you are looking for. You still need to negotiate their industry salaries."

After the middleman found a few people, he brought them to Li Mu, who directed the two handymen to continue cleaning.

"My surname is Li, what kind of treatment do you get here?"

Li Mu said straight to the point.

"Boss Li, our blacksmith who can make low-grade weapons usually costs five to ten taels of silver a month. It depends on the craftsmanship. We can make a low-grade weapon first, and you can see the price later."

There were three blacksmiths, one of whom was in his forties, and the other two blacksmiths, one in his thirties and one in his fifties. It was the blacksmith in his fifties who spoke to Li Mu.

"Well, there's no need for blacksmithing. I'll give you all a salary of ten taels of silver a month. Just follow my arrangements."

Li Mu didn't care how skilled they were, as long as they could help him.

"This is one hundred and eleven taels of silver. You can also keep these two handymen for me and I will pay their wages. What do you think?"

Li Mu looked at the clean blacksmith shop and was very satisfied, so he spoke to the middleman.

"Okay, okay, the younger one will leave first."

Then the middleman left, and Li Mu arranged for a handyman to take care of Black Tornado and clean the backyard and the blacksmith shop. Finally, he gave each of them a salary of one to two and five hundred yuan a month.

"Ding bell clang~"

Li Mu started another day of blacksmithing. In addition to the blacksmith shop, he usually went out for a walk and occasionally had a big meal.

Fortunately, Li Mu brought more than a thousand taels of silver notes with him when he went out, and he still had more than 300 taels for the time being, which was still plenty.

A year and a half later, Li Mu finally made a new horse-zanting sword. The style of the sword remained the same, but it weighed one hundred and eight kilograms, mainly because the high-grade metal was heavier.

This horse-zanting sword had 1,380 years of practice, which wasted a lot of metal. Even Li Mu's previous horse-zapping sword was sold by Li Mu for more than a hundred taels of silver. In addition, Li Mu's original silver was used to buy all the metal.

Now Li Mu only had twenty taels of silver left on him. Fortunately, he used the scrap metal to make a few medium-grade weapons in exchange for some money, otherwise Li Mu would have been able to drink the northwest wind.

"We still have half a year's rent, why not fight for another half year and make some money before leaving?"

After the plan was made, Li Mu began to focus on building ordinary mid-level weapons and began to make money.

"General Zhang, are you sure you want a mid-grade long bow and arrow?"

"Yes, the one passed down from my family is almost at the end of its life and must be replaced."

This morning, Li Mu had just finished drawing a knife when he saw the general he met in the restaurant last time.

Coincidentally, the sword that Li Mu eliminated was bought by his subordinates and given to General Zhang. This is how the two got acquainted.

"That's okay. It's free to shoot a bow, but I wonder if General Zhang can get me a book on how to practice bows and arrows?"

Li Mu looked at General Zhang and said.

Li Mu also wanted to practice a long-distance attack method, so he asked about it. General Zhang was the guard general of Anyang County and was in the sixth rank. He must have connections.

"Don't worry, Lord Baron. You can catch him with just a few martial arts skills."

General Zhang patted his chest and assured Li Mu.

In fact, the other party only made friends with Li Mu because of his title. Otherwise, he is just a blacksmith and has little relationship with him.

Of course, Li Mu didn't tell the other party that he could produce high-quality weapons, otherwise the other party would definitely be closer to Li Mu.

A bow is easier to make than a sword, it just requires toughness and hardness. It's better to say arrows, as long as they are sharp enough.

There happened to be some leftover high-grade metal scrap, so Li Mu patiently started fighting. In less than a month, Li Mu actually produced another high-grade weapon.

"Maybe it's because I'm gifted?"

Looking at the red long bow in his hand, Li Mu murmured to himself.

He originally wanted to make a mid-grade longbow, but as he continued to make it, he always felt that it could be more powerful, so he finished it and started over again, adding some new ideas. He shot a longbow that had been practiced for 1,800 years.

"Fuck it, it's better than my Zhanma Dao."

After complaining, Li Mu sent a handyman to find General Li.
