Liang Xingbang said: "It's almost done, let's move out."
The other three people nodded and lowered their heads to pick up stones.
These stones were almost the same size. Chu Li bent down to lift one, and his body suddenly fell. The stone, which was only the size of a basketball, sank as heavy as a hill. He estimated that it weighed more than 400 kilograms. No wonder the registered disciples were struggling so hard.
He took a deep breath and moved it easily.
Liang Xingbang stared at him in surprise.
Chu Li smiled and said: "I have been very strong since I was a child, but I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy."
"Good boy!" Liang Xingbang patted his shoulder with a complicated expression, bent down and picked up a piece with difficulty, and walked out slowly.
There were also young people carrying stones passing by. They all didn't care to talk and moved out step by step with difficulty. Their faces turned red and they used all their strength to feed themselves. No one fell down. Although they all had a hard time walking, there was no pain.
Although Li looked so relaxed, he was able to walk out steadily step by step, moved to the blast furnace, and then walked back to continue moving.
Coming out of the cave to the blast furnace is like walking from the cold winter to the hot summer. The body will almost be unable to bear it, but these registered disciples have good cultivation, but they are not afraid.
Although Chu Li was relaxed, he also acted like he was struggling. He followed Liang Xingbang and the others step by step without deliberately showing off his strength.
Seeing him like this, Liang Xingbang and the four of them nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this guy was a good man and could help.
At noon, they had a meal in the valley. The food was rich and everyone devoured it. Then they continued to work all afternoon. When they went back in the evening, they were really hungry and wanted to swallow the food in one bite.
In the next few days, Chu Li worked hard with Liang Xingbang and others, moving cold iron.
While he was moving the iron, he was watching what everyone in the valley was doing.
Unfortunately, there was only forged iron here, not swords. They hammered the cold iron into small pieces one by one, reducing the size by a third. The energy consumed in hammering was far greater than the effort they expended in moving the cold iron.
He heard Liang Xingbang say that these iron-hammering people are also nominal disciples, but they will definitely become real disciples when the time comes. As for them, it depends on whether they can change from being those who move cold iron to being those who hammer cold iron.
If you cannot further become a person who can hammer iron and coldly iron, you have no hope of becoming a true disciple.
Chu Li shook his head, feeling that entering the Sword Making Hall had nothing to do with Wanjian City. It could only make swords. Why come to Wanjian City if you want to make swords? Most people come here to practice swords.
He asked Gu Jiu this doubt.
Gu Jiu was very kind to them and answered all their questions. Even if he didn't know something, he would ask about it and tell them after he found out. However, all the registered disciples were very afraid of Gu Jiu and did not dare to joke with him. They were all extremely well-behaved.
, extremely obedient.
Chu Li learned from Liang Xingbang that Gu Jiu was the nephew of the master of the Sword Building Hall, and he might have the opportunity to take over the Sword Building Hall in the future.
Chu Li didn't quite believe it, because Gu Jiu was thin and had completely different appearance and personality from Hu Tianfang. Hu Tianfang probably looked down on Gu Jiu and wouldn't let him inherit the Sword Building Hall.
——
In the evening of that day, Chu Li was eating. Zhu Lengying came to his small courtyard and sat at the stone table to watch him eat.
Chu Li was not used to eating together with Liang Xingbang and the others. He ate alone and could take his time and enjoy the delicious food. The food in Wanjiancheng was excellent and tasted better than the restaurants outside.
"How do you feel?" Zhu Lengying looked at him with a smile.
Chu Li nodded: "It's okay, it's just a bit boring."
"This is a way to sharpen your mind." Zhu Lengying shook his head and sighed: "It not only trains disciples to sharpen their mind, but also forges and refines swords. It kills two birds with one stone. The prosperity of Wanjian City is not unreasonable. It does have great wisdom."
Chu Li smiled.
Zhu Lengying said: "The traditions of Wanjian City contain great wisdom. You should understand it more carefully and you will benefit endlessly."
Chu Li nodded slowly and continued eating.
Zhu Lengying sighed and said: "I also walked up slowly. After a while at the beginning, it won't be so painful later."
Chu Li finally finished his meal and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior. What does senior know about the Nine Swords?"
"Why are you asking about the Nine Swords?" Zhu Lengying said with a smile: "It is impossible to get together the Nine Swords, because there are two shortages, one is in the Yushi Palace, and the other is in Chu Li's hand. It is impossible to get it, and the remaining
The power of the seven handles is not that strong, and it serves as the pivot of the formation to guard the sect."
Chu Li said: "It's really impossible to get it all together?"
"It's almost impossible." Zhu Lengying shook his head and said, "Actually, the city lord is just doing his best to obey fate. Not to mention anything else, how is it possible to get back the Junlin Sword from Yushi Palace?"
Chu Li frowned: "Can I exchange it for something else? It's useless for them to hold swords."
"The power of the Junlin Sword is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If combined with the Junlin Sword Technique, it is truly astonishingly powerful." Zhu Lengying sighed: "It's a pity that Yushi Palace only has the sword but not the technique."
Chu Li said: "Is there nothing in Wanjian City that can impress the Yushi Palace?"
"It is the duty of the Yushi Palace to weaken Wanjian City, so it will never return the Junlin Sword." Zhu Lengying shook his head and said: "As for Chu Li, that is even more terrifying, don't even think about it."
Chu Li felt strange. Hearing his name from others had a completely different feeling than hearing it from his own mouth.
"Chu Li...?" Chu Li asked with a smile.
Zhu Lengying sighed: "A genius suddenly rose up and overshadowed all the heroes. It's not that Wanjian City didn't mobilize, but it's a pity that it never succeeded. This Chu Li is too difficult to deal with."
Chu Li said: "If you can't rob me by force, then I'll appease you. If you don't believe me, Chu Li won't be tempted."
"It's difficult, it's difficult." Zhu Lengying said: "Chu Li is not stupid either. He not only has the Heaven-Slaying Sword but also the Heaven-Slaying Art. With the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he can travel in all directions. Once the Heaven-Slaying Sword is gone, his strength will be greatly reduced.
He will never fight back."
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Li: "I am ordered to go out of the city this time and it may be dangerous. You can take this jade pendant."
Chu Li frowned: "Is it dangerous?"
"A sword was born, and I was ordered to grab it." Zhu Lengying shook his head and said, "It must be a tough battle. I have to go. I can only hope that I will be lucky enough."
Chu Li said: "We are from the Sword Building Hall."
"We need the swordsmiths to distinguish the true from the false." Zhu Lengying said: "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
Chu Li said: "I just feel it's too unfair."
"It's not unfair at all." Zhu Lengying smiled and said: "I am also a sword lover. Being able to see the Divine Light Sword is worth the risk!"
Chu Li looked at him doubtfully.
Zhu Lengying said: "It is said that this divine light sword comes from the upper heaven. It is as sharp as a sword. It was originally sunk in the sea and was accidentally fished up by a fisherman, which caused a fight."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Won't Jiubu take action? Is it our turn?"
"Nine divisions are nine divisions, and our Wanjian City is Wanjian City. We can't take the initiative to give in because of this." Zhu Lengying said with a smile: "We have already forged a divine light sword to use it to confuse the fake with the real one. Maybe there is a chance to get the real divine light.
