North of Matsu Town, in an inconspicuous grove, a young man with bloodstained face moved with difficulty.
"The mission has been leaked. We must pass on the information."
But just as he was about to climb out of the woods, a black figure descended from the sky, a cold light bloomed, and a sharp dagger pierced the man's back directly. Even a scream could not be uttered, and there was no more sound.
"This younger generation of monks from the Cangyun Empire is really difficult to deal with. I almost escaped with him, but I still got very interesting information. I have to report it to the King of Heaven as soon as possible."
The figure hidden in the darkness wiped the sharp blade that was still dripping with blood, then took out a white medicine from his arms and sprinkled the powder inside on the corpse in front of him.
With a slight sizzling sound, and within ten breaths of time, the young monk killed by the man in black turned into a puddle of black water and completely disappeared among the fallen leaves on the ground, while the instigator quietly walked away.
"It's midnight, no one will come again, let's set off."
At Li Mu's order, this elite team, which had high hopes, set out from Ma Su Town and began an overnight attack along the route planned by Xiao Tao Wan.
"Miss Tao, is there any reason why we chose this Metallurgical City as our first destination?"
All the way to the east, the five of them were all monks above the Infant Transformation Realm. They easily avoided many checkpoints set up by the Xi Penglai patrol force. It was not until the sky turned white that fish belly turned white, and they found a secluded valley to rest.
"The geographical location of Metallurgical City is very special. It is the only city that straddles the border between East and West Penglai. It has seven large mines and the metallurgical forging industry is extremely developed. It can be said that in Penglai, most of the things that use metal are
Rely on Metallurgical City."
Xiao Momomaru's introduction surprised everyone. Penglai is now divided into two countries. The border is the most sensitive area, but there is a city that is not affected. This is really incredible.
"That's strange. Since the strategic position of the Metallurgical City is so important, why don't East and West Penglai fight for it? As long as we get this city, it will definitely provide huge help to military manufacturing, and it can also curb the enemy's development."
Bai Jingting was the first to raise his question, and everyone else nodded in agreement. From an ordinary person's perspective, how could this metallurgical city be a battleground for military strategists, and how could it survive the fierce civil war?
"Because Metallurgical City is the only city-state in the original Immortal Kingdom that is not under the control of the Ten Laos of Penglai. The ruler there is the Blacksmith Guild."
"It is said that when Penglai Immortal Kingdom was founded, in order to actively develop the forging industry and thereby increase national strength, a permanent agreement was signed with the largest blacksmith guild in the immortal world."
"Promise that Metallurgical City will be completely autonomous and will not be under the jurisdiction of the Fairy Country. The price will be to provide the Fairy Country with the most advanced mining minerals and metallurgical forging technology."
"For hundreds of years, the Blacksmith Guild has cultivated a large number of outstanding craftsmen for the Immortal Kingdom, which directly promoted the mining of energy stone minerals and the research and development of related technologies. It can be said to be the main reason for the Penglai Immortal Kingdom's take-off in recent years.
."
In the fairy world, in addition to the immortal cultivating sects and sovereign states, there is another force that cannot be underestimated, and that is an organization that gathers countless capable people with crafts and skills.
Among the more representative ones are business tycoons like Jin Fuxuan, Dan Pavilion, which is as famous as the Danxian Sect, and the Blacksmiths Guild.
In fact, as early as his days at Qinglan City Academy, Li Mu understood the importance of these skills to the development of the immortal world. It is impossible for any highly skilled monk to ignore the effects of these "little skills" in the process of pursuing the path to immortality.
the value of.
And in fact, there are a large number of monks who have one or two skills. For example, Uncle Fu from Jin Fuxuan, a master of the Infinite Realm, but also a high-level blacksmith, Nie Xiaoyu, who practices the magical skill of Sheng Yuan Jue,
But he is also a doctor with superb medical skills.
Even Li Mu once dabbled in the study of alchemy in his spare time, but due to the existence of abnormal plug-ins such as the smelting system, he did not spend too much time immersed in it.
"So what you are saying is that this Metallurgical City cannot be under the jurisdiction of either of you, East and West Penglai? Now that the situation is so chaotic, no one has thought of taking it by force? No matter how powerful the Blacksmith Guild is, it cannot be the opponent of a million-strong army, right?
Or if we send a master from the Tribulation Realm, we can sweep across the Metallurgical City?"
Although Jinding looks extremely rough, his mind is extremely delicate. After listening to his words, everyone felt that there must be a special reason why Baili and Sikong, two masters of the Tribulation Realm, did not dare to interfere in Metallurgical City easily.
"Because Master Luo Wen, who leads the Metallurgical City Blacksmiths Guild, is a master craftsman."
Xiao Momomaru's answer was very brief, but just the words "Master Craftsman" made everyone's eyes widen, showing an unbelievable expression.
The level division of blacksmiths is not much simpler than that of monks. From apprentice to entry-level junior blacksmith, when you can forge yellow-level high-level weapons, you can be promoted to mid-level blacksmith.
When a Xuan-level weapon shines brightly in your hands, you can win a high-level title. Fu Bo is a blacksmith of this level. In any fairy world, high-level blacksmiths will be extremely popular.
But even so, they can still only be called blacksmiths, and cannot obtain the title of craftsmen. Only those superpowers who have forged earth-level magic weapons are qualified to obtain the honor of forging craftsmen.
Among this group of experts at the pinnacle of blacksmithing skills, there are still a few who are so rare that they are revered as divine craftsmen by all blacksmiths because they once forged shocking heaven-level weapons.
Don’t underestimate this heaven-level magic weapon. You must know that 99% of the heaven-level magic weapons known in the fairy world are produced after a long time and due to various coincidences. It can be said that this world has given them
gain their strength.
To artificially create a heaven-level magic weapon through forging skills has surpassed the limit of heaven's definition of human power, and is a truly heaven-defying move. This is also because the entire human race has only given birth to a dozen or so magic craftsmen in thousands of years.
The reason is.
"Lord Luo Wen came to Penglai Fairyland thirty years ago and fell in love with a local woman. Then he lived in Metallurgical City for a long time. During this period, he forged a dagger for his wife. The quality reached the level of heaven-level inferiors.
, thus being promoted to a divine craftsman.”
A legendary past slowly unfolded in front of Li Mu and others, and they finally understood why Metallurgical City could become a special existence of Penglai Immortal Kingdom.
You can hardly say that Metallurgical City made Penglai Fairy Kingdom what it is today, but it is undeniable that if there is anyone in this land who can face Baili and Sikong without changing their expressions, the master craftsman Luo Wen must be one of them.
