Chapter 103.2
Lin Beifan led Ouyezi and the others to a row of shelves and said with pride, Master, please look. These are my treasures. What do you think?
Ouyezi arrived in front of a piece of stone that was both dark and shiny, exclaiming in surprise.
This is black goldstone! Its surface is as dark as ink, non-reflective, and more precious than gold, hence its name! This material is excellent for crafting assassination weapons, which are extremely rare, and you actually possess over a hundred jin!
He turned his head to look at something else, exclaiming once again.
Ah, this is millennium cold iron! This material is usually buried a hundred zhang deep under frozen soil, unattainable by ordinary people! If forged into weapons, they too are deadly instruments! Touching it chills the skin, and a single sword strike can seal the throat. What a treasure!
Then he looked towards another part of the shelf, exclaiming once more.
Could this be red copper? This material is born in magma, radiating red, and is incomparably hot! If forged into weapons, using the most rigid and yang martial arts to drive it, the power could increase by at least 30 percent!
Upon encountering each material, Ouyezi would exclaim in amazement, and he could precisely identify its origin.
Lin Beifan gave a thumbs up, praising, Truly worthy of being a world-renowned casting master, recognizing all these treasuresimpressive!
These treasures are incredibly hard to find and priceless. How did you obtain them? Ouyezi asked, cradling a stone that resembled gold, unable to let go.
Lin Beifan secretly smiled. Most of these items were buried deep underground, indeed difficult for the average person to find.
But for someone with the Empire Sandbox, wasnt it just a matter of wanting as much as he desired? ๐๐๐ท๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐ด๐ก.๐๐๐
In the past few months, there have been several upheavals of the earth dragon here, and these items were all discovered in the resulting fissures! I saw that these were all extraordinary objects, so I collected them!
Lucky dog!
Ouyezi said enviously, Even if an earth dragon upheaval occurs, finding one or two treasures would already be fortunate, yet youve found so many!
It can only be said to be a blessing from the heavens! Master, please, lets go take a look in another room!
What, theres more? Ouyezi exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, there is!
The group walked into another room.
This room was somewhat gloomy and terrifying because as soon as they entered, they saw a huge skeleton coiling like a dragon.
What is this thing? It looks like the remains of a ferocious beast! Ouyezi marveled.
Indeed, these are the remains of a giant python!
Lin Beifan said with a smile, Its about 40 meters long, with a head as big as a lantern! In life, it possessed the peak strength of Astral Qi, its body tough as copper and iron, and it could even spew poisonous gas, making it extremely ferocious!
However, it was still slain by my men. We ate its flesh and drank its blood, but weve preserved its skeleton! Look at this: do you think its feasible to use it to forge weapons?
Of course, its feasible!
Ouyezi said excitedly, In ancient times, before the invention of forging and smelting techniques, people used the remains of animals as weapons, which were very practical!
The quality of this giant pythons remains is certainly not inferior to other weapon-forging materials! Moreover, it still retains the ferocity of the python from when it was alive, so weapons forged from it could intimidate all manner of heroes and beasts!
The pythons fangs are not only hard but also carry a deadly poison, making them perfect for crafting into assassins daggers that could seal the throat with a single strike!
And this python skin, both tough and flexible, could be made into armor. Even an Innate master would find it hard to break through such a defense!
Next, Ouyezi went completely crazy.
Looking at the python remains in the room, he was enamored with each and every piece, wanting them all.
He longed to think, what would it be like if he turned them into divine weapons?
The very thought was exhilarating!
At that moment, Lin Beifan clasped his hands together with a smile and said, Many thanks to Master Ouyezi! With your guidance, I now know how to make use of these treasures. Lets go back and continue drinking!
Are we going back so soon?
Ouyezi said reluctantly, How about we look around a little longer?
Theyre just stones and bones, whats there to see? Lets go back and drink!
Just like that, Ouyezi was dragged away.
Returning to the banquet, Lin Beifan noticed that the distilled liquor in front of Ouyezi had been finished, so he bestowed another jar.
It turned out that Ouyezi was very fond of drinking distilled liquor.
But now, it tasted particularly flavorless; his mind was full of those stones and bones.
At that moment, a soldier rushed in hurriedly.
Report! Urgent news!
Lin Beifans face was grave as he asked, What has happened?
Report to Your Majesty, about 50 li south of the capital city, Leiyin Mountain has suddenly collapsed, spewing out scalding lava!
Lin Beifan turned pale with shock, Such a thing has happened? We must go and see for ourselves!
With that, Lin Beifan boarded a carriage and hurried towards the location.
Ouyezi, upon hearing about the lava, followed along.
By dawn, the group had finally arrived at Leiyin Mountain.
Lin Beifan, seeing the mountain unchanged, flew into a rage, Wasnt it said that Leiyin Mountain had collapsed? It looks perfectly intact to me! And where is this lava you spoke of? If you cannot explain clearly, it will be considered an act of deceiving the emperor!
The general guarding this place was shivering with fear, Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Leiyin Mountain has indeed collapsed, but only a small opening has formed! As for the magma, it is there too, but deep within Leiyin Mountain, it hasnt flowed to the surface!
Take me to see it! Lin Beifan commanded with a sweep of his sleeve.
Led by the general, the group entered through the small collapsed opening.
Inside the opening was a passageway leading downward.
They followed the passageway down, and the deeper they went, the hotter it became.
After descending more than fifty zhangs, they finally saw the scorching magma flowing slowly like a dark river beneath the earth.
Master Ouyezi stared at the slowly flowing lava, his face turning pale with shock: Ah, this
Lin Beifan, puzzled, asked, Master Ouyezi, whats wrong?
Ouyezi said excitedly, Boy, let me tell you, I have observed over a hundred volcanoes, and Ive found that the farther away from the crater, where the lava flows slowly, the more stable the geothermal energy produced, making it more suitable for forging weapons! This place is simply the supreme spot for forging divine arms!
Lin Beifan was very pleased: Really?
Why would I deceive you?
Ouyezi said discontentedly, Dont you trust my expertise?
No, I am just very excited!
Lin Beifan said with excitement: I have so many materials for weapon forging, and now I have found the perfect geothermal spot for it, I can definitely create many divine weapons! Guards, come! Seal off this area! Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach!
Yes, Your Majesty!
After emerging from Leiyin Mountain, Lin Beifan still had a face full of joy.
Ouyezi, on the other hand, seemed somewhat distracted, constantly looking back with every few steps.
At that moment, Lin Beifan suddenly turned around: Master Ouyezi, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end! I must return to attend to state affairs, and you too must depart. Let us say our farewells here!
Ouyezi was taken aback: Ah? Were parting ways just like that?
Yes, indeed. We are both men of honor; why the need for pretense?
Lin Beifan laughed heartily. After all, the future is long, and we will have opportunities to meet again! The mountains are high and the roads are long, so I wont see you off. Take care on your journey!
Its not that
Ouyezi became anxious: Boy, you have so many materials for refining, and now youve found an excellent place for weapon forging. Dont you have anything you wish to say to me?
Lin Beifan shook his head: No!
Ouyezi became even more anxious: Dont you want to keep me around to help you forge weapons?
I have thought about it ๐ป๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐.๐๐ผ๐ฆ
Ouyezis eyes gradually brightened.
But you said that you would rather die than serve me, so I have given up hope!
Ouyezi:
Then Im leaving? Ouyezi glanced back at the Leiyin Mountain, expressing his reluctance to leave.
Lin Beifan: Go ahead!
Ouyezi took a step and looked back, then said, Im really leaving this time!
Lin Beifan: Go ahead without worries, I definitely wont ask you to stay!
Ouyezi:
