In the afternoon, the winter sun shone lazily on Lanyan City. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, Lin Muyu slowly rode his horse into the city. He could even enter the imperial capital without being checked just by relying on his Divine Temple armor and the insignia on his neck. He let the warhorse gallop freely on Tongtian Street. He took out the Netherworld Stone Ring from his chest pocket and put it on his thumb. However, he found that the feeling of the sword was affected when he held it. It seemed that this thing was just an ornament. It was not practical to use it as a weapon or defensive tool.
After playing with it for a while, he took off the Netherworld Stone Ring and stuffed it back into his chest pocket.
At this time, the street in front of him was very lively. Many commoners had gathered around. Lin Muyu hurriedly urged his horse to go over to take a look. However, he found that there was a convoy in front of him. The rolling carts were connected together like a train, and the carts were transporting the body of a huge creature. It was the carcass of the Dragon Serpent that was killed in Deer Song Garden!
The Imperial Army actually transported the carcass of the Dragon Serpent back?
Looking at the carcass of the Dragon Serpent, Lin Muyu looked at his Burning Prairie Sword. Even the sharpness of the Burning Prairie Sword could not cut through the scales of the Dragon Serpent. One could imagine the hardness of the scales. Moreover, each scale of the Dragon Serpent was about a meter in diameter and was in the shape of a diamond. If … it was used to make a shield, it should be invulnerable, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Muyu could not help but have an idea. He immediately urged his horse forward and found the leader of the convoy. It was an acquaintance, Thousand-man Commander Luo Lie, one of Feng Jixing's right-hand men.
"General Luo Lie!"
"Hmm?" Luo Lie turned around and saw Lin Muyu. He could not help but smile. "Oh, it's Lord Lin Muyu. Why are you on Tongtian Street? Shouldn't you be … at the Eagle's Nest Camp?"
"I'm not going to the Eagle's Nest Camp today." Lin Muyu rode beside him and asked, "Where are we going to send such a huge dragon snake's corpse?"
"Ha, it was Commander Feng Jixing who asked us to transport the carcass of the Dragon Snake to the Ze Tian Palace. He said that the meat of the Dragon Snake contains a huge amount of fire energy. After drying it, it can be cooked into meat soup to keep out the cold in winter. The Dragon Snake's bones can be ground into powder and used as medicine to strengthen the body. Moreover, this is a 12,300-year-old Dragon Snake. If it wasn't for the fact that it didn't pass the tribulation, it would have already transformed into a dragon."
"I see …" Lin Muyu rubbed her hands and smiled. "Can I discuss something with you?"
"Oh, what is it?" Luo Lie looked at him, amused.
"Can you give me all the scales of this Dragon Snake after you cut them off?"
"Is that so …" Luo Lie smiled. "Sir, are you going to use the scales of the Dragon Snake to make a shield or a chain armor?"
"Shield."
"I see … Alright, since the Commander didn't say that he wanted the scales. Besides, this Dragon Snake was killed by Lord Lin Muyu. There's nothing wrong with giving the scales to you. You can come with me to the palace. When we deal with the carcass, we will send the scales to you."
"Alright, thank you, General Luo Lie!"
"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. We're all on the same side!"
…
After entering the Ze Tian Palace, they dealt with the carcass of the Dragon Snake in the side hall. The imperial chefs cut the meat and separated the bones. The bloodstained scales were loaded onto the horse carriage. Lin Muyu counted carefully. There were more than 500 scales in total. Her heart was filled with joy. These scales filled five full carriages!
Feng Jixing assigned 20 more imperial guards to Lin Muyu. In the afternoon, they transported the scales to the largest ironware shop in the Imperial Capital — Hundred Kings Ironware Shop. It was said that this ironware shop had tens of thousands of years of history. It had been through hundreds of emperors, hence its name. However, not long after Lin Muyu entered the ironware shop, a familiar figure appeared — Jin Xiaotang!
"Brother Yu, you haven't appeared in a long time!"
Jin Xiaotang walked up to him intimately. Suddenly, she pouted and said, "Hmph, you asked me to introduce you to the Hall of Chivalry. I didn't expect you to go on a mission to spy on the military. This time, Xiaotang has offended the Hall of Chivalry because of you. It's up to you!"
Lin Muyu was full of regret. "Haha, I'm sorry. Xiaotang, I was in the wrong. I'll apologize to you! Oh yes, why are you here? "
Jin Xiaotang patted the sign of the ironware shop and said, "Because this Hundred Kings Ironware Shop is also an asset of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. Of course, I have to come here!"
As she spoke, she looked at the pile of Dragon Snake scales on the carriage. She smiled and said, "Brother Yu, are you … using the scales of the Dragon Snake as the main body to forge a shield? Wow, these scales are so thick. How old is this Dragon Snake? "
"More than 10,000 years."
"That's a lot …" Jin Xiaotang stuck out her tongue and smiled. "If that's the case … I'll make the decision myself and give you a cheap price. I'll only charge 10 Gold Khin coins for each shield. I'll use 100-year Darksteel to forge the edges of the Dragon Snake scales. The perforation and polishing fees will all be within 10 Gold Khin coins. How does that sound?"
"Okay, thank you, Xiaotang."
"But there's a condition!"
"Oh, what condition?"
"Hehe!" Jin Xiaotang pulled Lin Muyu's hand and said, "Father recently received a shipment from the West. There are a lot of Rainbow Lotuses. Brother Yu, do me a favor and make 100 bottles of Dream of the Peak for the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. How about that? Our last auction of Dream of the Peak was aborted. Many customers are waiting to buy it. "
"Okay … then let's go to the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. I want to buy some materials to recast my weapon."
"Okay!"
… …
Once again, he went to the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. Accompanied by Jin Xiaotang, he looked through the rare materials in the spirit stone shop. In the end, he only chose a 9700 year old Black Tortoise Spirit Stone. This would be used to refine the Nether Cyan Stone. As for the other spirit stones, he didn't think much of them. Forget it, he wouldn't forge a weapon this time.
"Xiaotang, do you have any iron ores that are suitable for tempering?" he asked.
Jin Xiaotang blinked and said, "I do have some, but I don't know if Brother Yu will like it."
"Oh, what kind of iron? Let me see."
"Okay."
Jin Xiaotang walked up and said to the shopkeeper, "Boss Qian, can you show me the iron ore that can't be smelted in your shop last time?"
"Yes, Eldest Miss."
At the shopkeeper's order, a burly blacksmith immediately carried a pile of black iron ore and walked up. He wiped it, and his hands were immediately covered with black ash.
Jin Xiaotang smiled and said, "This is the 'smelly stone'. It has been smelted in the Hundred Kings Ironware Shop for ten days and ten nights, but it still hasn't melted. It is said to be a stubborn stone, but who knows what it is. If Brother Yu wants it, you can take it for one Jin Yin coin … If you don't want it, we still have some Ten Thousand Year Black Iron and Thousand Year Black Iron for you to choose from."
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu reached out and touched the black stone. Immediately, a thick spiritual power flowed into her palm. This was definitely not a stubborn stone that couldn't be smelted. At this moment, Lulu's excited voice came from Yi Hai. "Brother, this stone is the legendary Nine Heavens Spirit Iron. It is a divine iron that fell from the sky into the mortal world. If it can be smelted, it will definitely be a divine weapon!"
"Really?"
Lin Muyu also smiled and said with her spiritual perception, "That's great."
He immediately took out a Jin Yin coin and placed it on the table. Then, he smiled and said, "Wrap it up. I want this stubborn stone. I want to see how stubborn it really is."
Jin Xiaotang giggled. "Okay, okay. Boss Qian, wrap up the stubborn stone!"
"Yes!"
…
Then, Jin Xiaotang directly provided a large pile of Rainbow Lotus and Skeleton Tree herbs to Lin Muyu for free. She only asked him to refine Dream of the Peak to increase the Imperial Chamber of Commerce's dominance. Jin Xiaotang was a girl who was very good at doing business. This made Lin Muyu secretly happy. Who wouldn't like doing business without any cost?
After agreeing to go to the ironware shop to collect the Dragon Snake Shield in three days, Lin Muyu directly returned to the Eagle Nest Camp.
On the Eagle Nest Mountain, brand new barracks had already been built. As the commander, Lin Muyu's living quarters were arranged in a hall in the center. It was relatively spacious and very quiet. It was very satisfying.
After dinner, he started working. He spent close to three hours refining 132 bottles of Dream of the Peak. Other than 100 bottles for Jin Xiaotang, he kept the rest for the people in the Longdan Army Camp who had a higher cultivation level. Improving his own family's strength was the most important. Then, he started the process of refining the Netherworld Stone Ring.
Buzz, buzz …
The crafting cauldron glowed with a frightening luster in the room. Lin Muyu stood outside the cauldron and threw the Netherworld Stone Ring into it. Immediately, raging flames lingered around the ring like ribbons. Silently feeling the structure of the Netherworld Stone Ring, Lin Muyu's spiritual perception slowly permeated it. She discovered that the structure of the Netherworld Stone was indeed very strange. It was somewhat similar to the molecular structure of a diamond. It was extremely hard, and unlike a diamond, the Netherworld Stone's melting point was also ridiculously high.
However, Lin Muyu didn't plan to refine it. She directly used the fifth layer of the crafting cauldron's Hellfire to slowly comb through the structure of the Netherworld Stone Ring. She opened up the "joints" in the stone material and then started refining the 9700-year-old Mystic Tortoise Spirit Stone. After almost an hour, the spirit stone was successfully refined. Amidst the "roar" sounds, the azure blue Dragon Turtle Soul roared in the air and slowly seeped into the Netherworld Stone.
After a while, the Netherworld Stone glowed and landed in Lin Muyu's palm.
…
She put the ring on her thumb and activated her Dou Qi. In an instant, the Spirit of the Mystic Tortoise was already lingering around the ring, ready to come out at any time to protect its owner. The Mystic Tortoise was originally good at defense, and this ring that had been refined was equivalent to a defensive tool.
She put the ring away. Although this Netherworld Stone Ring was very strong, its appearance was shockingly ugly. Lin Muyu had already decided to give it to Reihong. As the Great Deacon of the Divine Temple, the old man should have some treasured tools that were worthy of his identity to protect himself.
Continue, the highlight was coming. Refining that stubborn stone — Nine Heavens Spirit Iron!
