Ma Qianli grabbed his younger brother who came to escort the materials for making soldiers and asked in a low voice.
He had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his face looked tired.
In the past few days, he had been working hard to gather the materials he needed to build weapons, and he had spent most of the money he had accumulated over the years.
If it doesn't succeed this time, the Ma family will really suffer.
"Brother, I can only tell you that Deputy City Lord Wu's strength is unfathomable."
Ma Wanli stopped, looked at Ma Qianli seriously, and said seriously.
"Unfathomable?"
Ma Qianli looked surprised.
"Yes."
Ma Wanli said word for word, "His weapon-making skills are not inferior to those of my master, and may even be stronger."
"Are you sure?"
Ma Qianli was really surprised.
"Your master, that is the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. He is a senior weapon forger who has been famous for hundreds of years. There are not many people in the world who are better at forging weapons than him. Wu Zongquan is just a self-taught person.
Ye Luzi Weapon Master, and how old is he, can he compare with your master?"
"I don't know, it's just my feeling."
Ma Wanli shook his head and said honestly, "This is how I felt after watching him build weapons. If you want me to provide evidence, I have no evidence."
"Brother, you know, I am somewhat talented in the art of weapon casting, and I think my feeling is correct."
If Zhou Shu could hear these words of Ma Wanli, he would definitely look at Ma Wanli with admiration.
This former "prodigal son" who seemed a bit dull actually had some talent for making weapons.
The level of weapon-making skills he showed was only that of a beginner. Logically speaking, most people would not think he was very powerful at all, but this Ma Wanli could actually see the essence through phenomena, which is very extraordinary.<
/p>
Although Zhou Shu deliberately showed off, his skill in forging weapons came to the fore, and his every move was naturally extremely concise. Although it was deeply hidden, it was still discovered by Ma Wanli's intuition.
This is impossible without extremely high talent for casting weapons.
You know, Ma Wanli is not even a weapon maker now.
"Is Deputy City Lord Wu really that powerful?"
Ma Qianli mused, if this is true, then he may not have made the right move.
Even if he fails and the second child cannot return to Tiangong Pavilion, if he can be tied to Deputy City Lord Wu, it might be a blessing in disguise.
Are you placing more bets on Deputy City Lord Wu?
Ma Qianli pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, if you bring more weapons-making materials, we can't let Deputy City Lord Wu work in vain. In addition, be smart and do whatever Deputy City Lord Wu asks you to do."
Do it quickly and you must leave a good impression on him, understand?"
"I understand, brother."
Ma Wanli said honestly.
"If you have the chance, try to see if you can become the disciple of Deputy City Lord Wu!"
Ma Qianli added.
Ma Wanli was a little hesitant. Although Zhou Shu was unfathomable, he still wanted to return to Tiangong Pavilion.
Tiangong Pavilion is the holy land of weapon-casting masters. This deep-rooted idea cannot be changed by him for a while.
"Listen to me, brother will not harm you!"
Ma Qianli said with a headache.
……
In addition, Zhou Shu casually threw together a piece of remnant soldier that failed to be cast.
This is already his sixth "failure".
"My reputation is ruined."
Zhou Shu said to himself.
Ever since he learned how to forge weapons, he has never failed in forging magic weapons.
But now, in order to behave normally, he "failed" continuously in front of Ma Wanli.
In fact, after listening to Ma Wanli's description, Zhou Shu already knew what kind of magic weapon his master wanted.
With his weapon-making skills, he can actually cast the magic weapon on the spot.
But if that were the case, Ma Wanli would be able to tell that something was wrong even though he was dull.
The magic weapons that Tiangong Pavilion's deputy pavilion mainly forges are not ordinary magic weapons. Ordinary weapon casters may not be able to cast them even if they try their best.
He was a wild weapon maker. He just heard someone describe it once and he immediately forged the magic weapon. This is no wonder.
Of course, Zhou Shu can also claim to be a genius. Genius is an unreasonable creature.
But now he wants to keep a low profile and doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself over such a trivial matter.
"It's almost time, Ma Wanli. I have a feeling that I will definitely succeed next time."
Zhou Shu glanced at Ma Wanli next to him and said.
Zhou Shu also had some thoughts about letting Ma Wanli watch him forging soldiers.
Of course he was not worried that the Ma brothers were worried about him deducting materials for making weapons. Even if he really deducted materials, what would the Ma brothers dare to say?
He asked Ma Wanli to come and watch. Firstly, he wanted to see Ma Wanli's level. Secondly, he also wanted to use Ma Wanli to get a sneak peek at the situation in Tiangong Pavilion.
"Ma Wanli, please tell me again your master's process of forging weapons, and let me take a look at the details."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
Ma Wanli is not a beginner in the art of forging weapons, but the best thing about a person is being honest and obedient. In this Tiangong Pavilion, he has been trained to be very "easy to use", and he can do whatever he is asked to do without resistance at all.
He described it again honestly. His memory was pretty good and he remembered many details clearly.
A look of deep thought appeared on Zhou Shu's face.
According to Ma Wanli's description, the deputy master of the Tiangong Pavilion can only be considered average in his weapon-casting skills, and may be even worse than his deputy master of the Huaxia Pavilion, Shi Songtao.
It seems that this Tiangong Pavilion is not as powerful as I thought. Their reputation is so great, or they may just take advantage.
Taking advantage of the fact that the art of forging weapons in this world is secret.
If this is really the case, then I am not sure that I can really take over the Tiangong Pavilion.
The deputy pavilion master's level of weapon-making skills is only this, he can do it.
I just don’t know whether the master of the Tiangong Pavilion is of average quality or whether the master of the Tiangong Pavilion has supported all of this on his own, just like Zhou Shu supported the Huaxia Pavilion alone.

"Ma Wanli, have you ever met the master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
"No, Lord Pavilion Master, the divine dragon has its head but not its tail, and no one else can see it."
Ma Wanli said in a loud voice.
"I have always been with Master, and I have never even seen the other deputy pavilion masters."
Ma Wanli once said that Tiangong Pavilion has more than one deputy master, but eight!
This also shows the scale of Tiangong Pavilion.
But it's much bigger than his Huaxia Pavilion.
There are eight deputy pavilion masters, and there are countless weapons masters under them.
In other words, all the weapon-casting masters in this world are actually from Tiangong Pavilion, and there is no way for outsiders to learn the art of weapon-casting.
Even if a wild weapon master like Zhou Shu appears, he will soon be absorbed by Tiangong Pavilion.
So this Tiangong Pavilion actually monopolizes the art of weapon casting in its own hands. Anyone who wants magical weapons must go through them. This is one of the reasons why their status is respected in this world.
Now, Zhou Shu has actually touched their cake.
If it weren't for the fact that the city he was in was too remote, Tiangong Pavilion wouldn't look down on him at all, otherwise, someone from Tiangong Pavilion would have come to visit him long ago, either to recruit him or to kill him directly... However, Master Mo has already returned to Tiangong Pavilion. Tiangong Pavilion is probably aware of his existence, and it will not take long for them to take action.
"The last time, I will definitely succeed this time."
Zhou Shu thought for a moment and said to Ma Wanli, "Ma Wanli, when I build the magic weapon, I have a request. I want to go with you to see your master."
Zhou Shu made up his mind and expressed his thoughts.
"Are you going to see my master?"
Ma Wanli was a little surprised and said, "Do you want to join Tiangong Pavilion? You are a weapon maker. If you want to join Tiangong Pavilion, my master will definitely not object."
A smile appeared on Ma Wanli's face. He smiled very sincerely and continued, "Deputy City Lord Wu, as an armorer, joining Tiangong Pavilion is the right path. Only there can you learn the supreme art of armorer and walk in the world.
Reach the pinnacle of the art of forging weapons!"
There were stars twinkling in Ma Wanli's eyes, and he didn't know who drew such a big cake for him.
This poor kid actually believed it!
If Tiangong Pavilion was really that powerful, you should have been a weapon maker long ago, instead of being ordered around by them like you are now, and you haven't even been a weapon maker for so long.
Zhou Shu complained in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have that intention. If Tiangong Pavilion is willing to accept me, then I also want to join Tiangong Pavilion."
After saying that, Zhou Shu resumed the process of forging soldiers.
After "failing" six times in a row, Zhou Shu was already familiar with the whole process.
He controlled his own methods, and soon, the prototype of a magic weapon appeared in the casting furnace.
Zhou Shu continued to put various materials for casting weapons into the casting furnace, and time passed like this. After five or six days, under Zhou Shu's deliberate suppression, he finally completed the casting.
A long knife flew out of the casting furnace, landed in front of Ma Wanli with a clang, and the blade penetrated directly into the ground.
The sound of clanging echoed in the air, and Ma Wanli suddenly became a little excited.
"Yes, that's it!"
Ma Wanli said excitedly, "I have seen the drawings in Master's hand. The magic weapon he wants to build looks like this!"
"Appearance is not the most important thing, the characteristics of the divine weapon are the most important thing."
Zhou Shu said casually.
Ma Wanli nodded and asked Zhou Shu for instructions. After receiving a positive reply, he reached out and pulled out the knife.
"Boom——"
After all, Ma Wanli was a strong man in the Cave Heaven Realm. With the long sword in his hand, he started to wave it.
The sword flashes vertically and horizontally, flying up and down.
This Ma Wanli's strength is very good. In terms of sword skills, he is only slightly inferior to Sun Pingping.
Such a person, if placed in the ancestral land, is definitely a talent.
"Deputy City Master Wu, you are so powerful. This is the sword. Master will definitely be satisfied with this sword!"
Ma Wanli's face was full of excitement.
He seemed to have seen the scene of himself returning to Tiangong Pavilion.
Zhou Shu was speechless. For such a talented person, does it matter whether he goes to Tiangong Pavilion or not?
Now that you have joined Tiangong Pavilion, you have not really learned anything.
If your master really regarded you as his disciple, how could he destroy your cultivation and kick you out just because you knocked over a casting furnace?
To put it bluntly, he does not regard you as a disciple at all, but as a slave.
Zhou Shu couldn't understand why Ma Wanli was so determined to go back.
He is not very bright, and his eldest brother Ma Qianli is a living metahuman.
But having said that, Tiangong Pavilion has deep roots in this world tree, and the Ma brothers want to climb the tree, which is understandable in itself.
After all, as the disciple of the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, they will also get great benefits.
Zhou Shu has no control over what others want to do. What he can control is what he does.
"Ma Wanli, when are you going to return to Tiangong Pavilion? Also, how long does it take to get to Tiangong Pavilion from here?"
Zhou Shu asked casually.
If it was too far, if he wanted to go there, he would have to say hello to Ge Changlong.
After all, he and Ge Changlong are still in the honeymoon period in name. If he leaves without authorization, he is afraid that Ge Changlong will be dissatisfied, which is not very cost-effective.
"If we are going back to Tiangongge headquarters, we need to travel for more than a year."
Ma Wanli said casually, "But my master is not at the headquarters right now."
Ma Wanli's words surprised Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu knew that this world was built on the spiritual roots of heaven and earth and was much larger than their world, but traveling for a year was too big, right?
Speaking of which, it didn’t take long for Ma Qianli to go find Ma Wanli and come back.
"My master, he is rapidly traveling around the world, and he has stayed in a city not far from here these years."
Ma Wanli said, "His old man originally planned to come here to take a look at the Yuanshi Mine. Now it happens that our magic weapon has been cast. I sent a message to my master. He doesn't need us to go to him. He will Came here."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Oh? He's here for the Yuanshi Mine?"
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed.
He had long regarded the Yuanshi Mine as his own. If the old boy came for the Yuanshi Mine, then Zhou Shu could only let him have no return.
"Of course not."
Ma Wanli shook his head and said, "My master just wants to see Yuanshi, but he doesn't dare to get involved without permission. In the entire Tiangong Pavilion, except for the master who is qualified to use Yuanshi to forge weapons, no one else has this qualification."
"You mean, the master of Tiangong Pavilion can use Yuanshi to forge weapons?"
Zhou Shu looked stern and said in a deep voice.
He has been in contact with Yuanshi, and with his ability, there is nothing he can do against Yuanshi.
If the master of Tiangong Pavilion can use Yuanshi to forge weapons, it means that his weapon-forging skills are still superior to Zhou Shu's.
Is it really one person who propped up Tiangong Pavilion?
Zhou Shu said to himself.
"I just heard it from my brothers and sisters while chatting. As for the specific situation, I'm not very clear about it."
Ma Wanli did not hide anything and said honestly, "I heard that only the truly big shots are qualified to use the magic weapons forged by Yuan Shi. Their magic weapons are all personally responsible for the pavilion master. Even the deputy pavilion master is not qualified.
Participate.”
Zhou Shu nodded, those real big shots might be sacred.
Ma Wanli is naturally not qualified to contact a being that even a powerful person like Ge Changlong is not qualified to contact.
"In this case, then you should send a message to your master. Give him the magic weapon as soon as possible, and you can return to Tiangong Pavilion as soon as possible."
Zhou Shu said thoughtfully.
You can meet the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion without leaving here, which is exactly what he wants.
At this time, Zhou Shu really doesn’t want to leave here.
He plans to operate this place as his base camp. If he leaves now, he will easily fall short.
Just as Ma Wanli left, the chief steward Xue Liang walked in.
"Sir, the City Lord's Mansion has just sent someone to inform you that the City Lord is back."
Xue Liang bowed and whispered.
"The city lord is back?"
Zhou Shu's expression condensed.
This time, Ge Changlong's absence was long enough.
Added up, it’s almost more than two months!
He left the city to explore the traces of spiritual insects. After leaving so long, he might have really discovered the traces of spiritual insects!
"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion!"
Zhou Shu did not hesitate and stood up directly.
……
A moment later, Zhou Shu had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and he looked at the people in front of him in surprise.
Including Ge Changlong, all the high-ranking officials in the city were in a sorry state.
Even Ge Changlong looked tired.
"City Lord, what are you—"
Zhou Shu said.
Ge Changlong is a powerful person like Tianzun. What kind of battles has he gone through to be so tired?
Are those spiritual insects really that strong?
"We encountered more than a dozen spiritual insects."
Ge Changlong's voice was a little tired and he said, "It took some time to kill them."
"A dozen spiritual insects?"
Zhou Shu was really surprised that a dozen spirit insects had forced Ge Changlong and the others into this state?
Moreover, Zhou Shu keenly discovered that they seemed to be missing a few people, perhaps because they were in distress.
"City Lord, are those spiritual insects really that powerful?"
Zhou Shu asked with a solemn expression.
More than a dozen spiritual insects actually caused damage to the people led by the powerful Tianzun. Once the insect disaster breaks out...
Insect plague, there may be tens of millions of spiritual insects.
For the first time, Zhou Shu felt that he might have thought the insect disaster was simple before.
"Spiritual insects are indeed very difficult to deal with, and magical powers are useless against them."
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice, "Only power attacks can cause damage to them. We are at a disadvantage because we don't have any magic weapons at our disposal. Otherwise, it may not be that difficult to kill the spirit insects."
As a dignified city lord, Ge Changlong doesn't even have a magic weapon at his disposal.
It's not that he doesn't have magic weapons, but with his cultivation level, ordinary magic weapons are simply not worthy of his strength.
The magic weapon in his hand only killed a few spiritual insects, but it couldn't bear his power and fell apart.
He has always wanted to have a magic weapon that can truly display his strength, but unfortunately, that kind of magic weapon is hard to come by. Even with his identity, it is difficult to obtain.
"City Lord, have you brought back the body of the spirit insect?"
Zhou Shu asked in a deep voice, "Maybe I can develop a magic weapon for spiritual insects. In that case, we will have a better chance of winning against spiritual insects."
"Is this still possible?"
Ge Changlong said unexpectedly.
"It may not be possible, but you can give it a try. I have never seen spiritual insects. I don't know what kind of magic weapon can cause the most damage to them. If I can see them, I will have a direction."<
