From a carp to a dragon god

Changliu Mountain, Nanhuochi.

Yu Shuyang joked with his sixth brother-in-law for a while, then turned back to look at the six demons of the Zhu family. The Fire Spear was made in an assembly line workshop, where forging and polishing were concentrated.

This kind of division of labor and cooperation is completely different from the ritual and instrument refining. The ritual and instrument refining emphasizes the unity of method and nature.

Only when the magic power and spirituality of the magic forbidden spiritual text are of the same origin, and the magic forbidden is complete, will the virtual spirit be born, which is the so-called virtual spirit magic weapon.

Humane weapons are the opposite. They do not require any rituals or restrictions. When they are refined, they are just embryos. In the later stages, they rely on qi, blood, and human will to flush them.

For example, the Thunder Pattern Fire Spear is an iron spear cast from cast iron, with a little spiritual fire sealed on the tip of the spear. When using it, qi and blood are needed to ignite the spiritual fire.

The flaming spear is like an oil lamp, and the person wielding the spear is the oil. In the end, either the oil runs out and the lamp goes out, or it stays burning forever.

This is the characteristic of humane weapons. It has always been a combination of man and weapon. It is a closer combination of weapon and life than the "unity of man and sword" in kendo practice.

Humane weapons and magical treasure refining correspond to the world of Fuli and the world of Middle-earth respectively. These are the cultivation methods developed by the two worlds respectively. There is no superiority or inferiority, it just depends on which one is more suitable.

The six demons of the Zhu family walked and stopped, circling around the fire pool repeatedly. They could not see the exquisiteness of the human weapons at all, they only felt that the spirit spears were forged very quickly.

The five room managers surrounded Zhu Gangbiao. They were not fools. Each of them was an extremely smart monster. They had already thought about Yu Shuyang's words and found the core.

"Second House, you did this on purpose, thinking you could show off in front of Island Master Yu, but you wouldn't use your own people as a raft."

The steward of the first house accused Zhu Gangbiao in a half-hearted manner, saying that among the six monsters, he was the only one with less experience, younger generation and lower cultivation level, so who else could he bully if not him?

The other four families also pointed their fingers at Zhu Gangbiao, acting as if they were deceived. They were worried about the personal relationship between the second family and Yu Shuyang, and were afraid that they would not be able to compete in the future, so they were looking for an opportunity to suppress him first.

At this moment, Zhu Gangbiao suddenly felt a huge pressure. After all, he was not the heir of the second house. He had always been trained as an external manager and had no experience in dealing with such a situation.

"Uncles, you all know the situation of the Second House. How dare I play tricks on you?"

Zhu Gangbiao gritted his teeth and went forward. Now he represented the reputation of the second branch, which he had to protect at all costs and not let the other five branches bully him.

Before they could continue arguing, Yu Shuyang called them over.

"You've all seen it, what are your thoughts? How many spider silk armors can be refined? Each room should report the number!"

Yu Shuyang intends to support the second branch, so he naturally cannot watch them bully Zhu Gangbiao. At the same time, he cannot let Zhu Gangbiao collude with them, so he needs to make them oppose each other from time to time.

Seeing that the steward of the fifth house was silent, Yu Shuyang didn't want to indulge them and said, "The second house should speak first."

When Zhu Gangbiao was named, he felt a huge pressure. The second branch was suppressed everywhere by the sixth branch, and now he could only rely on Yu Shuyang.

"Fifty!"

This number was proposed by Yu Shuyang before, and Zhu Gangbiao couldn't think of anything else, so he naturally agreed with Yu Shuyang's wishes.

"What do the other families say? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will be forging a talisman for the Fairy City soon. You can stay and take a look."

Yu Shuyang mentioned the Fairy Demon City in a neither soft nor harsh manner, and the managers of the five departments all looked as if their tails had been stepped on, and their faces changed to reveal painful expressions.

"Island Master Yu, how about thirty?"

The manager of the first branch took the lead in bargaining. Among the six side branches, the first branch was the strongest and the sixth branch was the weakest. In this situation, the first branch had to be the first to come forward.

"That's fine. What about the other branches? If you have any difficulties, please let us know. As the saying goes, not all fingers are the same length, so each branch is bound to have some areas they are not good at.

Just like the Fairy City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the city is also divided into the market and the district. When the time comes to make arrangements, they must be divided according to the advantages and disadvantages of each room.

Those who are good at refining can go to the workshop, and those who are not good can consider it later."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he looked at the steward of the fifth room with a smile. He had already made his point clear, so it would be bad to continue forcing him. It all depended on the steward's choice.

"Fifty!"

The manager of the Sixth House gritted his teeth and said that it was the Sixth House that had been bullied in the past, but today they saw the opportunity and were the first to turn against them.

The third, fourth, and fifth houses also quickly agreed, leaving the head of the first house in a difficult position. He no longer cared about his dignity and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Island Master Yu, the first house can also refine fifty sets of soft armor."

Yu Shuyang glanced at the head of the main house and asked with a smile, "Is this not difficult for the main house? I hope you don't push it too hard."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult."

The steward of the first house was sweating profusely when asked this question. He did not dare to disobey at all, for fear that Yu Shuyang would not agree.

"That's good. It's settled. At the end of the month, deliver the soft armor to Hushan Island for Zhu Aihong and Zhu Ailing to inspect. If the quality doesn't pass, double the amount will be sent next month."

Yu Shuyang did not forget to warn the manager of the Sixth Department that it was not enough to just get the number together, but the quality had to be guaranteed as well.

After saying this, Yu Shuyang came to an iron felt, took the pliers from a gray rat demon, picked up the red-hot iron bar, and shouted to Cao Qing from a distance: "Cao Qing, come here."

Just now, when he saw his sixth brother-in-law instructing Cao Qing on how to forge a steel sword, he couldn't help but think of the sword-making in his previous life. Then, he had an idea and thought of how to refine the Taiyi whisk.

He used the Taoist rhyme of "the unity of heaven and earth, the wind and fire of heaven and earth" to create the Taiyi whisk bit by bit, intending to use it as the mark of the Demon Fairy City.

In this way, the Demon Fairy City can not only dispel evil spirits and natural laws, but also induce the Taiyi Dao rhyme to achieve a state of "purity and dust-free".

For a long time, he was restricted by the Dao Realm Seal and could not show his form, so he had to give up the Taiyi Whisk.

Today is the time for him to connect sword-making with talismans and find a way to place the Taiyi whisk in the Dao realm.

"Cao Qing, come and help me. I want to forge an iron whisk."

Yu Shuyang didn't say much, just gave instructions and started hammering the cast iron. Generally, forging requires a large hammer and a small hammer.

"Steel tempered a hundred times, iron forged a thousand times, all require a certain degree of tempering and effort. It's not just about forging, it's not about making it good."

Yu Shuyang didn't look up. After giving Cao Qing a word of advice, he began to strike the iron hammer continuously. As he forged, the Taiyi whisk Dao domain in his mind also hit the cast iron.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

The sound of the hammer is like the sound of a bell or a drum, and the sound has a spiritual charm of its own, just like the spring breeze blowing on your face and the willows swaying.

Sword-making isn't just about hammering iron into steel. Even if successful, it requires imbuing the sword with spirituality, allowing it to foster a "sword heart" and avoid hammering the living sword to death. In his previous life, Yu Shuyang only forged the "Slaying" and "Life" swords. Because they were wooden swords, his "sword heart" was nurtured piece by piece through the sword's will.

The sound of the hammer was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, causing sparks to fly from the cast iron. Under the influence of Taiyi Fuchen Dao Domain, the sparks were like a puff of dust, lingering around the cast iron for a long time.

It is like a summer valley, with fireflies hiding in the grass, dotted like stars, and with a mysterious air.

First came the six demons of the Zhu family. They were closest to Yu Shuyang and had the most distracting thoughts in their minds. Affected by the Taiyi whisk, their bodies and minds were like cast iron, and the iron hammer knocked out the dirty and distracting thoughts in their minds.

Then came the gray rat demon and mallard demon that were closer. Some small demons with less cultivation seemed to have their psychological defenses shattered by the sound of the hammer, and they all burst into tears, holding their heads in their hands.

The two monster tribes, the gray rat and the mallard, were both caught by Yu Shuyang using the Qiankun Long Snake Bag when they were escaping from the blessed land because their own demon immortals died suddenly.

Although the Yu family had never treated them harshly, they could never soothe the hearts of the gray mice and mallards, who always felt like they were living under someone else's roof.

Today, under the influence of Taiyi Fuchen Dao Domain, the gray rat demon and the mallard demon fell into grief. As they cried out, the sorrow that had been pent up in their hearts also poured out.

The changes in the South Fire Pool instantly attracted Shu Qing's attention. At that time, he was instructing the three Cao brothers on how to forge steel.

"Is this a divine casting?"

Shu Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The human race has nine inheritances, one of which is the Gong family. The "Gong" here refers to all kinds of craftsmen, among which blacksmiths and carpenters are the most prominent.

Blacksmiths can forge various weapons, and carpenters can create various tools. Both of them master the skills of "divine work" and "natural work".

For example, the "Gongshu Puppet" of the northern carpenters is a representative of divine craftsmanship. The wooden puppet has the ability of a demon or ghost, and the most important thing is that it obeys orders at the cost of its own life, which is completely different from the trained demon soldiers.

In front of the iron felt, Yu Shuyang knocked the cast iron hundreds of times, and then put it back into the fire pool, allowing the cast iron to absorb the vitality of the earth fire.

When the metal element is restrained by the fire element, a "change" will naturally occur, which creates the ever-changing characteristics of metal and iron.

Nothing is more rigid than Geng metal, and nothing is more flexible than Xin metal. The balance between rigidity and flexibility is the increase and decrease of Geng and Xin, and it is also the harmony between metal and fire.

Yu Shuyang opened his divine pupils and looked carefully at the underground fire pool through them. He could see that the cast iron he forged was like a golden snake twisting back and forth, thus attracting the fire fish in the underground fire.

These fire fish are all transformed from the spiritual energy of the earth and fire. They cannot be seen without the use of eyes. It takes hundreds of years of continuous forging and casting iron in the Southern Fire Pool before the fire fish can take shape.

Yu Shuyang stared at the cast iron silently without saying a word. He just took out the Yi Qi Sui Xin Rod and threw it into the air above the South Fire Pool, attracting the divine power of the two stars, Pleiades and Chang Geng, accumulated on Yuwei Peak.

With the infusion of the Pleiades' divine power, the Mao Ri Huo, which had been suppressed by the Li Huo Quail Bird, floated up again and emerged from under the Li Huo Quail Bird's butt.

Because he was afraid of the Fire Crow True Lord of the Wan Crow Palace, Yu Shuyang never offered sacrifices to the Mao Ri Fire, so as to prevent it from transforming into the Mao Ri Chicken.

The Great Sun True Fire is compatible with both the Fire Crow and the Fire Chicken. The Fire Crow's form, when refined to the final stage, becomes the Golden Crow, which is the origin of the Sun's fire. The Fire Chicken's form, when refined to the final stage, becomes the Golden Chicken, which is the origin of the Sun's light.

Sunfire and sunlight both belong to the Way of the Sun. At the end of cultivation, there will inevitably be a struggle for the Way.

Yu Shuyang hurriedly urged the Golden Snake cast iron to swallow the Mao Ri Fire, just like a snake swallowing an egg, and swallowed the Mao Ri Fire into the cast iron.

He did not dare to delay at all. He picked up the big hammer and handed it to Cao Qing. Then he took the pliers in one hand and the small hammer in the other, clamped the golden snake-like cast iron, and started another round of forging.

The cast iron golden snake swallowed the fire of the Mao Sun, and its spirituality instantly increased by more than ten times. At this time, it was clamped by the iron pliers and was winding back and forth like a live snake.

Cao Qing swung the big hammer but didn't dare to hit it. Yu Shuyang raised the small hammer, activated the Taiyi whisk with his mind, and started hitting the golden snake.

As the power of the Dao Realm fell down bit by bit, the golden snake slowly became stiff, like a stretched spring, accumulating strength from top to bottom.

"Smash it."

Following Yu Shuyang's order, Cao Qing began to swing the sledgehammer. The sledgehammer fell down with a clang, and every time it struck, sparks flew up, like a rain of iron flowers.

The fire of the Mao Sun carries a golden nature, which is the iron-blooded luck of the Pleiades that has fought hundreds of battles, and also the brilliance of the sun that shines through everything.

The metal nature of the spark is like the violent temper of the swordsman. Although he is full of passion and fearless of sacrifice, he is also like a young man who has just started out and is prone to impulsiveness and rashness.

Yu Shuyang was like a teacher at this time. He used the power of Taiyi Fuchen Daoyu to carve out the fire of hostility bit by bit, grinding away the boy's immaturity, leaving only a fearless will.

The pure and dust-free spiritual charm seeped into the cast iron bit by bit, turning a piece of spiritual iron into spiritual gold, and the power of the Maori fire was integrated into it bit by bit.

After who knows how many thousands or tens of thousands of blows, the cast iron was forcibly beaten into a nine-section pole with a nine-petal lotus shape on the top.

This was created by Yu Shuyang based on the Yin De Di Yun Golden Lotus. It can be used to entrust Yin De luck and fortune. At the same time, it can also guide the souls of the dead in Yaoxian City into the Xuanming underworld.

Cao Qing was as soft as mud, lying on the ground holding a big iron hammer, his eyes still staring at the iron felt.

His cultivation level was not enough to cooperate with Yu Shuyang's forging, and he lost all strength halfway through. It was Shu Qing who saw the opportunity and swung the big hammer to meet him, thus replacing him.

He had just experienced it himself, being impacted by the two forces of the Mao Ri Fire and the Tai Yi Whisk Dao Domain. He swung the sledgehammer and it felt like he was hitting himself.

There is a sense of cleansing all over the body, inside and out, as if the skin and bones have been stripped off and cleansed from head to toe, leaving no trace of dirt.

Cao Qing had a hunch that if he could persevere, he would be able to be reborn and cultivate a magical body.

This thought was like a worm, gnawing at his heart. If it weren't for the influence of Taiyi Fuchen Daoyu, which constantly swept away the regret in his heart, Cao Qing would have gone mad by now.

Yu Shuyang, who was standing in front of the iron felt, couldn't stop at this moment. With the hammering of each hammer, his mind was pulled into it. The Qi-following-heart pole, which was the externalization of his mind, attracted the power of the Pleiades like a madman.

At this moment, Yu Shuyang was like being pulled by two horses, one on the left and one on the right. On one side was the purity and dustlessness of Taiyi Fuchen Daoyu, and on the other side was the fearlessness and evil-breaking power of Mao Rihuo.

The two forces were like ice and fire, trapping Yu Shuyang in the middle and making him feel torn. No matter which side he leaned towards, the final result would be the cracking of the cast iron.

At this moment, he was focused and clear-headed, like walking on a tightrope on fire. Any unsteady movement would cause him to fall into the fire pit.

At this time, the golden nine-section bamboo and nine-petal lotus have been created on the iron felt, and only the mark of the Dao domain is needed to be engraved, which means that the Taiyi whisk Dao domain has been created.

However, Yu Shuyang was caught between two forces, so he dared not act rashly. He could only smash it down with hammer after hammer, trying to refine the bamboo joints and lotus head of the whisk again.

Yu Shuyang knew clearly that he could not delay for long. Too much steel is easy to break, and the nature of Geng metal cannot occupy 100%. He must leave room for the flexibility of Xin metal.
