In the yard of the old county government —
Shangguan Yuting's anxious heart finally calmed down. Before, she had thought that once Li Mu was defeated, she would protect Li Mu even at the cost of her life. But now, she finally felt relieved.
For her, the rise of Taibai County and the rapid development of her career were not important. Like many women in the world who were infatuated with a man, the only hope in her heart was that he was safe.
His safety was better than anything else.
Xu Wan 'er, Xin' er, and other beautiful girls all cheered excitedly.
These days in Taibai County, they finally returned to the carefree state of life in the past. They were respected, had freedom, and did not need to be on tenterhooks. All these were given by Li Mu. Therefore, they cared about Li Mu. Although their feelings for him were not as deep as Shangguan Yuting's, they were still sincere.
The little attendant heaved a deep sigh of relief.
But a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
It was a good thing that Young Master was getting stronger and stronger. But he was too strong to be normal and strange. "Is he really the original Young Master?"
He rubbed his nose.
At this time, Li Mu dragged the fainted Fire Devil Huang Shengyi into the yard. Seeing the girls' expressions, he was also slightly moved.
But he was really busy.
He casually pointed at the white crane that was following behind him and said something rich with meaning to the group of beauties, "I'll lend you guys this big bird to play with … I'll go get busy first."
Then, he dragged Huang Shengyi into the training room.
Normally, Li Mu's training room was not open to outsiders.
Huang Shengyi was a Semi-Sage with amazing strength and countless trump cards and means, so Li Mu did not dare to neglect him. To prevent him from escaping after waking up, Li Mu took great pains.
Fortunately, in the yard of the county government, every wisp of Spiritual Qi was under his control. This was the most powerful geomancy deployment of the Dragon-assembling Pattern in the entire Taibai Mountain range. Li Mu guided the power of the deployment and planted dozens of restrictions, tactical deployments, and curses in the old man's body. Only after making sure there was no problem did he feel relieved.
He searched the storage devices of the Semi-Sage and put them aside for the time being. Then, Li Mu hurried into the refining room to check on the refining of the Samsara Knife.
In the refining room, the Qi of flames was overwhelming.
The Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal floated in the center. The Fire Sect released flames, covering the Samsara Knife, dozens of other weapons, and precious metals, and refining them constantly.
Now, most of the weapons had been refined and lost their original shapes. The Samsara Saber had absorbed the Spiritual Fluctuations in them, and the essence had returned to the saber. The same was true for the divine materials.
"There's still time."
Li Mu took a look and knew what was going on.
He made dozens of hand seals in a row, which all sank into the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal. The flames of the fire sect became more and more dazzling, and the heat was overwhelming. In less than two hours, all the energy in the swords and broadswords and the divine materials had been absorbed into the Samsara Knife. The metal essence that was finally smelted was also refined by Li Mu into the broadsword.
Some changes had happened to the Samsara Knife.
The blade and the surface of the blade were much rougher than before. They had also become thicker and larger.
This was a normal phenomenon.
After all, so many new things had been added to the Samsara Knife.
Li Mu threw aside the waste that had lost its spirituality and began to focus on refining the Samsara Knife itself.
There were many Taoist magic arts and tactical deployments in the Samsara Knife, which were Li Mu's original creations.
In the process of refining, Li Mu divided his attention. On one hand, he controlled the power of the fire sect of the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal to constantly refine the broadsword, and on the other hand, he continuously cast various Taoist magic arts to strengthen the tactical deployments in the broadsword. The Samsara Knife sometimes merged into one, and sometimes it separated into 20 flying broadswords.
Another six hours passed.
The winter days were getting shorter, and the sky was getting darker.
Li Mu stopped refining.
The Samsara Knife quietly floated in the center of the tactical deployment.
After six hours of refining, some of the impurities in the Samsara Knife had been purified. The material was more compact and had an indescribable rhombus shape. The body of the knife was smaller than before. It was about five fingers wide and 1.4 meters long. The surface of the blade was as smooth as autumn water. The blade was as thin as paper, but it was extremely hard.
Li Mu waved his hand, and the Samsara Knife turned into a stream of light and leaped into his hand.
The broadsword slightly vibrated, as if there was a ripple of water, making a faint sound of broadsword and a hint of faint intimacy.
"The broadsword is like a dragon, and its intent is psychic … This is already the characteristic of a top-grade Spiritual-treasure weapon."
Li Mu was overjoyed.
This was a weapon he forged himself. The more he looked at it, the more he loved it.
He sank his spiritual force into the broadsword and carefully sensed it.
The conductivity of his psychic power and true Qi was excellent.
He gently wiped the blade with his fingertip, and a drop of blood seeped out.
"It's so sharp."
Li Mu sighed with emotion.
His body was comparable to divine gold and divine iron. Even divine weapons could hardly leave a white mark on his body. Now, the Samsara Saber had cut a bloody wound on his body with a light touch, which showed how sharp the Samsara Saber was.
"I wonder if the body of a Sage can withstand the sharpness of the Samsara Knife?"
As soon as this idea came to mind, Li Mu felt a little itchy.
"Eh? There's a way. Isn't there a ready-made experimental subject here? "
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
He took the Samsara Knife and walked out of the weapon-refining room to find Huang Shengyi, who was in a coma. He wanted to see if the body of a Semi-Sage could withstand the sharpness of the Samsara Knife without the injection of natural qi.
…
"Ah …"
Huang Shengyi woke up from his coma with a splitting headache.
He hadn't had this kind of experience for many years.
After a brief blank memory, he recalled everything that happened today.
In an instant, Huang Shengyi's anger burst out like flames. Such a shame was a nightmare.
"Li Mu, you and I are irreconcilable. I will kill you."
He almost gnashed his teeth to say that.
Huang Shengyi sensed the condition of his body and knew that he had been captured.
It was really ridiculous. The word "captured" had never appeared in his dictionary. But now, it had become a cruel reality.
"Humph, you didn't kill me but trapped me here. That's the stupidest choice you've ever made. When I break out, I will kill everyone around you …" Huang Shengyi snorted and swore in his heart.
Then, he began to try some secret methods to break the restriction in his body.
However, at that moment, the door of the room was opened.
Li Mu walked in.
Huang Shengyi snorted and glared at Li Mu. The anger in his eyes was about to burst into flames. He said, "You'd better let me go, otherwise … Hey? Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing? You … Stop! Stop it! "
Before he finished his threatening words, it suddenly turned into a kind of slightly panicked roar.
Because Li Mu was holding a long broadsword in his hand. Without saying a word, Li Mu directly chopped his thigh with the broadsword.
Blood flowed out.
"Ah …" Huang Shengyi screamed subconsciously.
It had been forty or fifty years since he had experienced the feeling of "pain". Although he was not afraid of getting hurt, the problem was that Li Mu's posture of wielding the broadsword without saying a word was really a bit scary.
"Hey? You can cut … "Li Mu was very satisfied.
He looked at Huang Shengyi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. I just tried it. I just refined it, so I can't control its power well. Please don't mind …"
Huang Shengyi: "# ¥%"
Li Mu raised his hand again and chopped a few more times.
A few more cuts appeared on the Semi-Sage's body. His skin and flesh were cut, and traces of blood oozed out.
"You …" Huang Shengyi couldn't help but feel cold. "What on earth do you want?"
Li Mu muttered to himself, "Well, it seems that the body of a Semi-Sage can't withstand this broadsword, even without injecting natural qi into it. I wonder if the body of a Sage can withstand it … Speaking of which, the bones of a Semi-Sage should be as hard as the flesh and blood of a Sage, right?"
He held the broadsword and aimed at Huang Shengyi's leg.
Huang Shengyi immediately panicked.
"Even a Sage is afraid of death."
In his opinion, Li Mu was a complete lunatic.
"From the previous fight to now … How dare he try the broadsword on me?"
While he was thinking, Li Mu directly chopped down. With a crack, the Samsara Knife cut into the bone and embedded in it …
"Wow, the bones of a Semi-Sage are really hard." Li Mu marveled.
Then, he pulled out the broadsword and was ready to chop again.
This time, Huang Shengyi went crazy.
Even if he was tortured, he was not afraid. But how could such a thing happen? Li Mu directly chopped several times without asking. If he continued to test the broadsword, he was afraid that when Li Mu finished, he would be minced into meat paste, wouldn't he?
"Stop, stop, stop, Li Mu, a Sage can't be insulted. Don't go too far." Huang Shengyi shouted, "What's more, I represent the Guanshan Pasture. I …"
"Puff!"
Li Mu raised his hand and chopped again.
A bone was finally cut off.
Li Mu squatted down, examined the wound, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that it will take at least three cuts to break the Semi-Sage's bones. But if I infuse it with natural qi …" As he said that, the bright blade of the Samsara Knife flickered with dazzling light. That was the visual effect of the increase in power after the natural qi was infused into it.
Huang Shengyi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
It was a nightmare to fall into the hands of such a lunatic.
"Stop, stop! I practice the power of raging fire, so I'm good at forging. You want to forge broadswords, don't you? I'll tell you … I know the way to forge Primitive Gold of All Things. "Huang Shengyi roared.
His head hurt, his heart hurt, his liver hurt, his lungs hurt, and his kidneys hurt …
He was scared, really scared. He began to bargain, which was a disguised surrender.
"Ah?" Li Mu looked at him in surprise, "The power of a foodie? You can forge by eating? "
"Raging fire, it's raging fire. You can control fire." Huang Shengyi was really crazy.
"Oh." At last, Li Mu slowly put down the Samsara Knife that he had raised high. With a hesitant look, he said, "Do you really know how to forge the Primitive Gold of All Things? Is this for real? I don't read much. Don't lie to me. "
"It's true, it's true. I'm the number one blacksmith in Guanshan City. Let's talk nicely. What kind of broadsword do you want to forge? I can help you …" Huang Shengyi said very sincerely.
"What the hell is going on?"
Never in his wildest dreams would Huang Shengyi have imagined that he would end up like this one day.
"Well, since you're begging me, I'll be merciful and give you a chance." Li Mu finally put away the Samsara Knife. Then, he looked at Huang Shengyi's wounded leg and said unapologetically, "Look at you. You're so old, but you're still so blind. You should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have used you to test my broadsword. It's all your fault … Forget it, I'll just bandage your wound."
Huang Shengyi wanted to cry but had no tears.
He had never been so miserable.
In a short while, Huang Shengyi's left leg was wrapped like a white dumpling by a very clumsy bandaging technique.
In the next few days, things became very interesting.
Li Mu took Huang Shengyi, whose strength was controlled, to modify, discuss, and improve various plans in the weapon-refining room day and night, and to reforge the Samsara Knife.
A dignified Semi-Sage was reduced to a humiliating coolie.
Li Mu snickered inwardly.
How vast was the insight, experience, and knowledge of a Half-Saint Realm expert?
Half of the purpose was to test the broadsword. The most important thing was to maximize the value of this Semi-Sage and squeeze out all his value for himself. That was Li Mu's real purpose.
