Taoist master wants to ascend

Boom!

The thunder was rolling, and the rain fell like beads, hitting the old trees and making a "pop" sound on the eaves.

"This is the first rain since I came here."

Li Yuan walked into the rain with bare feet and a pair of shorts, holding a hammer and closing his eyes, feeling the wind and rain on his face.

When he first came here, he was so thin that he was afraid of getting sick even if he rubbed his body with cold water. But now, even if the rain wets his body, he only feels a slight chill.

He could feel the blood flowing through his body, warm and warm, blocking out the chill from the outside world.

People who practice martial arts rarely get sick, not only because of their strong bodies, but also because of the blood and energy in their bodies.

"Martial arts moves vary from person to person. In a real fight, naturally it's not just one move for you and another for me. Finding and exerting energy is the most important part of the fight."

In the rain, Li Yuan adjusted his breathing, without moving the hammer, half-squinting his eyes, feeling the wind and rain.

There is something special about hammer training in the rain.

In the White Ape Cloak Hammer, this is called Ting Jin, in the Fighting and Killing Hammer of the Army, this is called the Recognition Jin, and there is a similar saying in the Scythe Technique.

Normally, when disciples of various schools learn to play, in addition to wooden stakes and sandbags, their brothers and masters will personally teach them the moves to familiarize themselves with the strength.

More luxurious families will even pay people to paint the 'live piles'.

And if there are no conditions, there are also tricks. Practicing in the rain is one of them.

boom!

At a certain moment, Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the hammer moved accordingly, cutting through the rain curtain and moving around, as if to isolate all wind and rain.

The inability to splash water is one of the symbols of the success of the White Ape's Cloak Hammer.

call!

Hammer shadows interweave.

In addition to controlling the Great Craftsman's Hammer, Li Yuan used all his strength at this time. The big tendons on his arms protruded and were intertwined like a horned dragon.

He danced a long-handled cloak hammer so tightly that it made a whining sound, and from time to time there was an explosion.

but……

"Can't stop it, can't stop it at all!"

Li Yuan could clearly feel the wind and rain coming from all directions. His seemingly airtight hammer net was penetrated like a sieve.

The cold rain hit his whole body.

In the darkness, with the wind and rain, this was an attack that was more difficult to guard against than even the most skilled warriors in Gaoliu City.

"efficient!"

His hair was soaked by the wind and rain, but Li Yuan's eyes were bright.

For him who was seriously lacking in sparring experience, this rain was simply timely!

"If my hammer can dance so well that even the wind and rain can't get in, how can others suddenly get in?!"

In the wind and rain, Li Yuan hammered one after another, his body was like a spiritual ape, using his feet, knees, hips, shoulders, arms and elbows at the same time, and the blood in his body was more restless than ever before.

The fighting method of fighting with the killing hammer is far more powerful than what is recorded on the White Ape Cloak Hammer.

Although Li Yuan only pushed the number of variations of the first killing move to seventy-six, his endurance exceeded those of the blacksmith masters in the forge who were more energetic than him.

Nourished by blood, his body and endurance are also growing.

With this practice, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

"The effect is outstanding!"

After going back to the house, drying himself off and changing into clothes, Li Yuan was still full of energy. He was very satisfied as he recalled hammer training in the rain.

With a perfect level hammer technique to compare with, he has made rapid progress. After this rain, he has vaguely grasped the essence of the fighting technique.

If you can stop the enemy from the outside, stop it. If you can't stop it, the choice between lightning and flint can determine life or death.

"Avoid the important and take the easy, block the vital points first!"

…

After the rain, the sky cleared up and there was still the smell of earth and vegetation in the air.

As usual, Li Yuan was the first to come to the forging room. He opened the fire that had been sealed all night, and blew the bellows. After a few blows, the flames shot up.

"The blacksmithing method has been completed for two or three days at most!"

Taking out the raw steel he had beaten a few days ago from the corner, Li Yuan enjoyed the feeling of continuous improvement and having a direction to exert his strength.

In the forging shop, one fire is used to forge, and then it is forged again. This is called one refining. After five refinings, pig iron becomes wrought iron. After one hundred refinings, it becomes raw steel. After one thousand refinings, it becomes wrought steel.

There is even a theory of Wan Lian.

Li Yuan didn't understand how a kind of iron could be tempered continuously, but he could only think that it was different in his past life and this one.

"The wrought iron of the fifth temper can only be used to make a kitchen knife, and the wrought iron of the tenth temper can barely be used to make weapons, but it is also of inferior quality. This is what is available in the shop at a rate of one or two.

And the sharp blade..."

Li Yuan took out three pieces of hundred-refined raw steel.

There are naturally good and bad weapons, and the price gap between them can be ten times, or even more than a hundred times.

Ordinary jasper knives cost three taels per piece, but the internal price of the jasper knives made by Zhang Ben himself was thirty taels of silver.

"It takes a thousand hammers to make one. It took me seven days to refine these few pieces of raw steel. This is still me. I'm afraid other blacksmiths need more than half a month?"

Li Yuan's fingers touched the steel, and his Dzogchen-level forging skills allowed him to clearly feel the advantages and disadvantages of these pieces of steel.

Then, he stacked three pieces of steel of different qualities together, heated them red, and forged them.

boom!

…

Forging, plasticity, tempering, quenching, tempering, annealing, polishing...

With Li Yuan's endurance, even with advance preparation, he could fight for two full days. The next day, when it was dark, he barely finished the fight.

"good!"

Li Yuan looked up and saw that the master blacksmith and helpers in the forge were still there. They looked at the long knife in his hand and cheered.

"A sharp blade! This jade sword must be a sharp blade!"

"It's only been more than three months, right? Junior Brother Li actually made a sharp blade!"

"What a sharp blade! If you hit one, you will get a tael of silver! Junior Brother Li must treat us to a drink!"

…

Li Yuan is well-liked in the forging house. After all, this is the territory controlled by his master.

"I got the money, I'll get some wine for you senior brothers!"

Amidst the cheers, Li Yuan cupped his fists to respond. After a while, he got free time, took out the polished handle of the knife, and pressed it with a 'click'.

[Jasper Sword (First Level)]

[The first sharp-edged sword made by the Master of Arms...]

[Conditions for control: None]

[Control effect: splashing water will prevent entry]

First level sharp blade!

"It's not as good as the few jade knives that the master left in the warehouse. The gap is not small. But where does this effect come from?"

Caressing the blade gently, Li Yuan felt a little solemn in his heart.

A few months ago, he believed that the various effects of the weapons he controlled were due to the previous owners of these weapons.

But it wasn't until he joined the forge that he discovered that even newly crafted weapons also had controllable effects.

"It has something to do with the forger, it has to do with the material, it all has something to do with it, right?"

Li Daoye thought about it and let it go. He never made things difficult for himself.

Playing with the first weapon he made, Li Yuan had some feelings in his heart, but he still tidied up the forging room unhurriedly.

Put away what should be put away, and seal off the fire where it should be.

It wasn't until he walked out of the forging room that he had a smile on his face.

This sharp blade helped him achieve a small breakthrough in his blacksmithing skills. The unqualified forging hammer he had previously chosen in order to meet the requirements for mastering the Hammer of the Master Craftsman could be removed.

The sickle can be mastered again, or other weapons can be chosen.

"March 28th is the Gaoliu Temple Fair. People from many nearby towns and even other counties may come. Maybe there will be good things."

Li Yuan was a little moved.
