Li Nianfan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Hello, may I know the general's name?"
"Young Master Li, my name is Huo Da." Huo Da said respectfully.
He was slightly nervous. Young Master Li was a person as high as the sky in the king's mouth. The reason why he was arranged to recruit troops here was because this place was close to Young Master Li. He was afraid that someone who didn't know the severity of the matter would offend Young Master Li.
Open-Minded?
This name was good, and it was a burly general. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a general of good fortune.
Li Nianfan laughed, "Good name."
"Young Master Li, your plan last time was really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of it even if I cracked my head." Huo Da said sincerely.
He was a rough man. He was good at fighting on the battlefield, but he knew nothing about strategies. He admired Li Nianfan to the bone for being able to think of breaking through force with skill.
"I just provided a direction. The implementation details are actually done by your king." Li Nianfan shook his head and asked casually, "How's the war?"
"Not very good."
Huo Da looked around, sighed, and whispered, "The Southern Barbarians are born with great strength. This time, they came with great momentum. They were unstoppable all the way!"
Li Nianfan's face changed slightly, "Could it be that we couldn't stop them even once?"
"It would be fine if we could, but we couldn't!" Huo Da's face was full of worry, "This matter can't wait any longer. That's why the king ordered to recruit troops everywhere. We can't let the Southern Barbarians go on like this."
The first drum of energy, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted.
If the Southern Barbarians continued like this, their morale would only increase, and the pressure on the opponent would also increase. As long as they could block it once, they could discourage the opponent and break the deadlock.
Huo Da said another piece of news, "Young Master Li, in addition to the mortals, even many sects were destroyed."
"Did the so-called Devil Cultivator do it?" Li Nianfan asked.
Now, he knew that the Demon Dweller was an existence that went against the immortal cultivators. The so-called demon-sealing in Azure Valley might have something to do with the Demon Dweller.
In layman's terms, Immortals lived in the Immortal World in the sky, while Devils lived in the Devil World in the Underworld. Immortals and Devils could not coexist.
"It's them!" Huo Da's tone was a little angry. "How ambitious!"
Li Nianfan frowned slightly, feeling a little flustered.
This kind of omen, could it be that a great war between immortals and demons was about to begin?
If they really fought, as a mere mortal, he wouldn't even be considered cannon fodder. He might not even know how he died.
It wasn't easy for him to obtain a lifespan of a thousand years. If he were to die so abruptly, that would be too much of a loss!
Li Nianfan looked at the little red bird on his shoulder. Cozy up to him, he had to cozy up to a few more cozy up to him!
He pondered for a moment and noticed the sword at Huo Da's waist. He said, "General Huo, can you let me see your sword?"
Huo Da took it off without a second thought. "Young Master Li, feel free to take it."
Clang!
Li Nianfan pulled out the sword and gave it a cursory glance. His brows furrowed slightly.
Huo Da's status should not be low, so his weapon should not be too inferior. Even so, the blade was already slightly curled, and the blade had suffered a lot of wear and tear.
Li Nianfan could tell at a glance that the main material of the blade was steel.
However … the craftsmanship of the forging still had a lot of room for improvement.
He was on good terms with Zhou Yunwu, and those Devils were clearly not kind people. It was reasonable for him to help them.
Li Nianfan said, "General Huo, do you trust me? Actually, this blade can be even harder and sharper! "
"Really?" Huo Da's eyes suddenly lit up. He did not doubt it at all and hurriedly said, "Young Master Li is a godly person. Of course I trust Young Master Li!"
"Come with me."
Huo Da hurriedly said to his subordinates, "Hurry up and call all the blacksmiths around here!"
Li Nianfan saw this and secretly praised this fellow in his heart. This fellow was indeed a rough but meticulous general.
At the same time, on a high platform in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.
Although it was a distance away from the Fallen Immortal City, as an immortal cultivator, even if he stood there, he could still see the entire Fallen Immortal City.
At this moment, Emperor Luo, Zhong Xiu, and Luo Shiyu were all on this high platform. However, there was another person standing behind them.
This person was surrounded by a layer of black fog, and his eyes were slightly red.
He opened his mouth and said, "Emperor Luo, I know that you were also involved in the destruction of Family Liu that day. Tell me, who is that immortal in the mortal realm? Does this change of heaven and earth have anything to do with him? "
Emperor Luo's face was pale. He stared at that person and said, "Who are you? Are you from … the Immortal Realm? "
"That's right! This is just a clone of mine, and it has the cultivation of a Heaven Immortal. "
That person laughed and said, "This is not a small matter. You are just an immortal cultivator, there is no need for you to keep this a secret. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. If you tell me, I can still spare your family's lives. Otherwise, I will let my descendants suck the blood of your wife and daughter dry in front of you! When that time comes, they will die a horrible death! "
Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a small black mosquito on the neck of Emperor Luo and the other two. Its thin and sharp mouth and red eyes were frightening.
They could not wait and were filled with the desire for blood.
"Give up, I will not tell you!"
Emperor Luo's face darkened slightly. He snorted and said, "I am indeed just an immortal cultivator. However, I am not afraid to tell you that in front of such a person, you are also an ant! Let me warn you, you can't afford to offend that person! "
"Hahaha, a mere ant dares to talk about measuring the strength of an immortal? You are just an immortal who stayed in the mortal realm. If it were not for the great changes in the world, I would not be interested in you! " That person laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, his face suddenly darkened. "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
However, at this moment, Emperor Luo and the other two looked below the high platform. Their faces suddenly changed, and there was a trace of excitement and sincerity.
That person raised his eyebrows and followed their gazes.
There were many people gathered there, but the one who was surrounded by the stars was an ordinary young man.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he watched quietly.
Li Nianfan came to the blacksmith's door and greeted, "Boss Feng."
The blacksmith's boss was a middle-aged man who was forging. When he saw Li Nianfan, he smiled and said, "Young Master Li."
In the shop, there were also some young men who were helping him.
When they saw the soldiers who came in with Li Nianfan, they were a little nervous.
Li Nianfan smiled slightly, "Boss Feng, can I borrow your furnace?"
"No problem." Boss Feng put down his work and asked curiously, "Young Master Li also knows how to forge?"
"I know a little."
Boss Feng was instantly amazed, "That's amazing. Young Master Li knows everything except being an ordinary person!"
Haha, you really know how to praise people.
Li Nianfan sized up the long sword in his hand, then threw it into the furnace to smelt it.
The so-called steel was actually formed by iron and carbon. Every hammering was also for carburization, which was the process of making steel.
Seeing that the long sword was slightly softened, Li Nianfan picked up the hammer beside him and hammered it down casually.
"Clang!"
At the same time, this was molding, and the steps were not much different from ordinary forging.
But after hammering for a while, Li Nianfan picked up the liquid beside him and poured it on the long sword.
The surrounding blacksmiths' expressions changed slightly. Boss Feng could not help but remind him, "Young Master Li, this is pig iron."
The so-called pig iron referred to the liquid cast iron obtained from the initial smelting of ores. It contained a high amount of carbon and impurities.
"I know." Li Nianfan continued hammering the long sword and explained, "My method is called infusing steel! It is to fuse pig iron with wrought iron! "
"Pig iron contains a high amount of carbon, while wrought iron has the characteristics of containing more oxidized impurities. Using the oxygen in wrought iron to oxidize the silicon, manganese, and carbon in pig iron, causing intense" boiling ", and this can remove impurities."
This was a type of chemical reaction, but obviously, the people around did not understand.
They all showed an expression of not understanding but felt that it was awesome.
As for Huo Da, he actually took out a piece of paper and was writing and drawing on it. He frowned and said, "Young Master Li, can you repeat it again? Is this how the egg content is written?"
This was a task given by the king. He had to memorize Young Master Li's maxim. Even if he did not understand it, he could bring it back and consult with the military advisor. Night Night Chinese
Li Nianfan ignored him and continued hammering.
"Clang clang clang!"
The hammerhead was very heavy, but in Li Nianfan's hands, it seemed to be very light, as if it was weightless. It seemed to contain some kind of rhythm, constantly going up and down.
Sparks flew everywhere, and it was incomparably beautiful.
Huo Feng stared blankly, her eyes revealing an incredulous expression.
Although she had long known that Li Nianfan was omnipotent, she did not expect him to know how to forge. Moreover, every strike was completely in harmony with the heavens and earth. Even the sound of forging contained the sound of the Great Dao.
It was as if … the heavens and earth were accompanying him.
Moreover, she did not understand Li Nianfan's words just now.
This meant that the Great Dao contained in it was far beyond her realm, and she did not even have the qualifications to come into contact with it.
"Eh?"
On the high platform, that person's eyes revealed a strange light. "To be able to comprehend it like this, he is definitely not an ordinary mortal!"
He looked at Emperor Luo and the other two and sneered, "Could this person be that immortal?"
Emperor Luo's expression did not change. He calmly shook his head and said, "No."
That person laughed mockingly. "Whether he is or not, we will know in a while!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black light flashed on his body. He immediately leaped off the high platform and transformed into a black mosquito, flying towards Li Nianfan.
Its eyes revealed a bloodthirsty glint.
If this person was an immortal and had such a deep understanding of the Dao, then it could suck a tube of his blood. Even if this clone was destroyed, it would not lose anything. If this person was just a mortal, then it had even less to lose. It could directly suck him to death.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As he hammered, the longsword gradually began to take shape.
Li Nianfan said solemnly, "There is a step that you often omit, but actually … this step is very important! That is quenching! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly soaked the longsword in his hand into a vat of water beside him.
Sizzle —
Thick smoke billowed, and the water in the vat boiled.
"Quenching can allow the weapon to be both hard and soft."
Li Nianfan took the longsword out of the water and bent it slightly against the blade. It was actually bent at a ninety-degree angle!
When the towel was wiped along the blade, suddenly … the sharp edge was like a dusty pearl that shone again, illuminating the surroundings!
Li Nianfan smiled slightly and handed the longsword to Huo Da. "General Huo, are you satisfied with this blade?"
"Good blade, good blade!"
Huo Da's eyes lit up. He looked at the blade with a hint of fanaticism.
For a general, the blade was his second life. It was like his limbs!
The surrounding blacksmiths were all stunned. They were all in disbelief. This had overturned their understanding. "How can this be?"
Boss Feng could not wait to take out his own sword. He said, "General, why don't you try slashing it?"
Huo Da nodded. He took a deep breath and raised the blade.
With a "clang" sound, the sword actually broke in half!
Sizzle —
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They had only made such a small change, but it had actually caused a qualitative change.
"Young Master Li, this, this …" Boss Feng looked at Li Nianfan. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Good blade, good blade!"
"God, Young Master Li is really a god."
"Marvelous, simply marvelous!"
Let alone them, even Daji and Huo Feng were stunned.
Although none of the blades were good enough for them, the power of the blade was increased by a lot. Moreover, the materials used were the most common ones. Just a small change and there was such a big improvement.
Immortals had the ability to turn stone into gold. It turned out that mortals could also turn stone into gold with the help of Heaven and Earth!
Was this a big shot? He was truly unfathomable to the extreme!
This must have something to do with the Heaven and Earth that the expert just mentioned!
Sigh, what a pity. We don't understand at all. Especially the egg content. What does that mean?
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the theory. You just need to know that the weapon made this way will be stronger and sharper. It will also be more durable."
Huo Da was so excited that his face was red and his whole body was trembling.
Finally, his brain heated up and he knelt on one knee in front of Li Nianfan. "Young Master Li, you have benefited thousands of soldiers! On behalf of all the soldiers who fought hard, I thank you! "
Whoosh!
Behind him, the soldiers knelt down as well. They looked at Li Nianfan with sincerity and gratitude.
Li Nianfan quickly helped Huo Da up and said, "General Huo, you're too kind. I'm helping myself by helping you. If you win, I can also live a peaceful life."
Huo Da immediately said, "Young Master Li, don't worry. With this blade, I will not let you down!"
Buzz buzz buzz.
At this moment, Li Nianfan heard a soft buzzing sound.
Then, he felt a slight numbness on his neck. Something landed on it.
He frowned and raised his hand to slap his neck. Then, he pinched it. It was a huge mosquito.
"Wow, what a huge mosquito!" He was shocked. As expected of the Immortal Cultivation Realm. There was such a huge mosquito. It must be half the size of a pinky finger.
The mosquito was dumbfounded. It could not believe that it had been caught. Its demon energy exploded as it struggled wildly to break free.
However, at this moment, it was horrified to discover that all the demonic power in its body had disappeared without a trace at this moment!
However, this was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that … its origin energy had been stripped away!
Originally, it was just a clone. Even if it died, it would only suffer a small loss. Therefore, it was very bold.
But now, for some reason, its origin energy was gathering toward this clone.
In other words, it had changed from a clone to its original body. Once it died, it would really die!
How … how was this possible?!
Who was he? Why did he have such means?
How could such a situation exist in the world?
Pitiful, helpless, hopeless.
It could not believe it. It wanted to ask, it wanted to beg for mercy, but it could not even speak.
It was as if it had really become an ordinary mosquito.
Suddenly, it remembered Emperor Luo's words. In front of such a person, it was really just an ant!
Unfortunately, it was too late to turn back.
"I don't like mosquitoes."
Patter.
Li Nianfan casually slapped it, ending the mosquito's ugly life.
