The road is vague

Chapter 109 Weapon Refining Technique

Six inspectors rode slowly forward on horseback.

Behind him were the militiamen from Liutao Mountain, who were escorting the bandits and stolen goods of the Tiger Gang to Bai'an County.

Li Mo and Gao Zhengyi walked side by side at the front of the team.

"You are a disciple of Fenghuo Sect, why were you assigned to Muzhou?"

As far as Li Mo knows.

This kind of interstate special service mission is the most unpopular position, but in order to prevent local sects from having the final say, the Ministry of Destiny often transfers disciples from other sects to the jurisdiction of the local sect.

The Fenghuo Sect's jurisdiction was mainly in parts of Jingzhou and Longzhou.

It is densely populated and prosperous, far beyond the reach of Muzhou.

"I asked to come here."

Gao Zhengyi seemed a little sad.

"Although life there is comfortable, it's full of intrigue. I was originally assigned to the border area of ​​Jingzhou, where the Fenghuo Sect, Shenji Sect, and Baibao Sect meet. I witnessed firsthand how the inspectors of different areas, simply because of disputes over the division of jurisdiction, disregarded the safety of the local people, turning the area into a no-man's land and ultimately a hotbed for evil cultivators. Disillusioned, I applied for a transfer."

Having said that, Gao Zhengyi sighed deeply.

"It's still better here. Although it's a little poorer and the security is a little worse, there aren't so many intrigues and conflicts of interest."

Li Mo understood something after hearing this.

It seems that although the land of Daqian is rich, it is not as perfect as he imagined.

"After all, this is a barbarian land. We, the barbarians of Muzhou, don't have so many evil intentions!"

"Haha."

Gao Zhengyi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

At this time.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd behind the inspector.

Li Mo and Gao Zhengyi noticed something and looked back. They saw the bandit leader Pi Shanhu, who was tied up, spitting blood and lying on the ground.

Seeing this, the two men hurriedly dismounted and walked away.

Gao Zhengyi pinched Pishanhu's cheeks and observed him, his expression changing slightly.

"He wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide."

Upon hearing this, several inspectors were surprised. Such a tough guy was rare. When the villagers of Liutao Mountain saw this, they all sneered and said that he deserved to die.

"It's not easy to be a hero!"

A fierce look flashed in Li Mo's eyes.

Then he took out a bottle of healing pills, forced open Pi Shanhu's mouth, stuffed the pill in, and then found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide again.

But generally speaking, people who fail in suicide do not have the courage to commit suicide again.

When the villagers of Liutao Mountain saw this, they were stunned and puzzled.

"Why would you save such a sinner, sir? Wouldn't it be better to let him die here?"

Li Mo sneered.

"He's dreaming. If he dies at the hands of us soldiers, the other bandits will at least call him a hero. But once we take him to the county yamen and publicly try and behead him, that's considered admitting guilt and accepting punishment."

Li Mo signaled the people around him to tie him up more tightly.

"He wants to be a hero and die here, but I want him to remain a prisoner, parade him through the streets, and execute him in the autumn."

Upon hearing this, everyone in Liutaoshan Village showed a look of sudden realization.

After half a month of traveling outside for this mission, Li Mo finally returned victorious.

He personally escorted all the members of the Tiger Gang to the county jail, and specifically instructed the jailer to keep a close eye on this evil bandit leader and to wait until the day he was paraded through the streets and executed in the autumn, as a warning to others.

After the jailer agreed, Li Mo returned to the Tianming Division.

"Li Mo!"

Lu Tianyou's voice came from behind.

Li Mo turned his head and confirmed that it was Lu Tianyou. He burst into laughter, walked over quickly and hugged him.

"Haha, Tianyou, you are here!"

Wearing the flying bird suit, Lu Tianyou has become much more cheerful and robust than before.

Lu Tianyou was also full of excitement.

"After I returned from my mission, I heard from the people in the department that you were here to take up the position of deputy general flag. They even mentioned my name. I couldn't believe it. It was actually you."

"Ha ha!"

Li Mo laughed.

"When I heard you were working here, I couldn't believe it. Now, we can work together again!"

Li Mo gestured to Lu Tianyou to come to his office for a long talk.

Seeing that Lu Tianyou had recovered and had obviously matured a lot, Li Mo felt very relieved, as if he had returned to the days of Enlightenment Hall.

Jiang Feiyan asked Lu Tianyou to work under Gao Zhengyi, and Li Mo was very satisfied with this arrangement.

three days later.

The leader and main culprit of the Tiger Gang was publicly tried by the county government and sentenced to death on the spot. After the relevant documents were submitted to Yuancheng, Jingzhou and approved by the Ministry of Justice, he would be paraded through the streets and executed in the autumn.

The remaining accomplices will be transported to Zhanghe County and forced to do hard labor to repair the river embankment in the Ministry of Works.

The laws and regulations of the Daqian court.

Abolish all tortures such as lingchi, skinning, beheading, quartering, and boiling.

The system of collective punishment cannot be implemented.

Punishments that damage the body or skin, such as tattooing, ear cutting, nose cutting, and tattooing, are prohibited.

The highest punishment for a criminal was parading through the streets and beheading in the autumn, followed by exile to a remote frontier or hard labor.

A lighter punishment is caning and imprisonment.

Even criminals with extremely serious crimes had to undergo a public trial at the county government office, and then have their case reviewed by the state government. The relevant documents had to be submitted to the Jingzhou Criminal Department for filing and approval before they could be executed in the autumn at three quarters past noon.

The so-called spring is for growth, summer is for growth, autumn is for harvest and winter is for storage.

The execution after the autumn is in accordance with the will of heaven, and the time of three quarters past noon is the time when the sun is at its highest point in the sky and earth, which is in contrast to the taboos at dusk. The county government will organize the general public to watch, punish evil and promote good, and enforce the law strictly.

Before the prisoner dies, he can enjoy a full meal, and after his death, his sins will be forgiven.

in the following days.

Li Mo began to investigate various cases in Hua'an Town while studying weapon refining techniques and constantly consuming spirit stones to practice meditation.

His life gradually got back on track.

Unlike Jiang Feiyan, who often only appears once every two weeks.

Li Mo basically went back to the Tianming Division for breakfast every morning. After noon, he returned to his mansion to meditate and practice, comprehending techniques and skills.

Even if one consumes spirit stones to practice here, the speed is far less than that of breathing in and out on Qingming Mountain. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the disciples of the Special Service Hall to receive double income.

this day.

Li Mo was in the refining room, looking intently at the refining furnace.

Only three grams of iron essence, after melting in the refining furnace, was activated by spiritual power and expanded into a ball of molten iron as big as a watermelon, constantly rolling in the furnace.

The reason why the monks' magic tools can increase or decrease in size is precisely because of the essence of these metals.

As long as they are slightly stimulated by spiritual power, the volume of these metal essences will expand dozens or hundreds of times!
Calculated according to market price.

The value of iron essence, copper essence, and silver essence can be said to increase in sequence, and the magical instruments refined based on this are also respectively compared to low-grade magical instruments, medium-grade magical instruments, and high-grade magical instruments.

But this is not absolute.

This also depends on the specific techniques of the weapon refiner and the characteristics of the main materials of the magic weapon blank. After the weapon is successfully refined, it is normal for the grade of the magic weapon to be upgraded or downgraded.

Above the silver essence, there is the gold essence.

The ductility of gold essence can easily reach more than ten thousand times, far exceeding the material properties of silver essence.

However, gold essence will only be truly used when refining magic weapons. The weapon refiner will add a large amount of gold essence as a basis to fully unleash the tremendous magic power of high-level cultivators above the Jindan stage.

The so-called top-grade magic weapon is just slightly mixed with one or half a penny of gold essence.

After a while.

Li Mo brought the sword blank.

This was a spiritual bone, which was cut into a sword shape by Li Mo. He carefully placed it into the mold, then pointed at the refining furnace with a gesture, and the liquid iron in the furnace floated out and flowed into the mold.

With a "squeak".

The liquid iron essence and the spiritual bone quickly merged.

The materials used to refine magical instruments are varied. The most common ones are made from monsters, followed by various spiritual woods. Some refiners also like to use materials such as meteorites, mysterious gems, and exotic minerals.

In short, as long as it has spiritual properties, it will be fine.

However, at this moment Li Mo was only using it to practice basic skills, so he did not deliberately pursue the quality, characteristics, and uses of the materials.

About half an incense stick later.

The mold gradually cools down.

Li Mo opened the mold and looked at the rough flying sword inside. Although his expression did not change, he prayed silently in his heart.

Then he clasped his hands together, cast a spell, and pointed his finger at it.

After the rough flying sword shook for a while, it slowly floated in the air. Li Mo was immediately surprised.

"Success!"

He reached out and picked up the rough flying sword.

Although it was just a blank of a low-grade magic weapon, he still couldn't let it go.

After wasting basic materials sixteen times in a row, he finally succeeded once.

This cannot be blamed on Li Mo.

After all, he had not received any professional instruction in refining equipment. He had only been exploring on his own based on basic theories, and he had not mastered any special refining techniques. It was not easy for him to achieve this.

After a brief moment of excitement, Li Mo quickly took out his notes and carefully wrote down his thoughts and experiences of the day on the stone table.

However, this is just a rough draft and cannot be considered a complete magical weapon.

After Li Mo summarized his experience, he picked up the sword blank again.

Next, he would have to go through a lot of hard work to forge this sword blank into a flying sword. It would be best if he could etch matching runes on it to create a restrictive effect on the magic weapon and enhance certain basic attributes.

For example, the Thunder Sword has the restrictive effects of illuminating darkness, expelling evil spirits, and disrupting sound waves.

All of the finest magic weapons of various grades have enhanced restrictions.

"Then, let's begin the hard work!"

Next.

Except for the time of rest at night and the time of going to work at the Destiny Department in the morning, Li Mo spent the rest of his time in the weapon refining room hammering. After three days of hard work, he finally achieved the effect of repeated hammering and forged the sword blank into a flying sword, which could be considered a real magic weapon.

Looking at the flying sword he had made with his own hands flying in the air, Li Mo showed a look of satisfaction.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the flying sword landed on the refining table.

Next, Li Mo prepared to proceed to the last step, which was to engrave runes.

For general weapon refiners, they often focus on learning runes of several specific properties. No matter what form the magic weapon they forge in the future is, they will etch it with the specific runes they have mastered, or with the cooperation of other weapon refiners.

Only some top-quality treasures will require a true rune master to etch them.

Li Mo took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and took out the "Bronze Pole Script" from the storage bag, placed it in front of him and began to comprehend it.
