I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

Hundred-Image Sword Pavilion.

As a force capable of establishing its own sect within Yunshui City, its scale far surpasses that of a small sect like Linjian Sect.

Even in the entire Yunshui City, the Hundred Images Sword Pavilion is a powerful force that ranks among the top five.

At this moment, they are in a secret room in the Hundred Images Sword Pavilion.

The three elders of the Hundred Phases Sword Pavilion looked solemnly at the fourteen [Azure Pattern Swords] placed in front of them.

The three of them each picked up a weapon and examined it carefully. They remained silent, their eyes filled with intense shock, and every now and then a gasp could be heard.

Soon.

Two people walked in from outside the secret room.

One of them was an old man with white hair and beard. Every move he made exuded an invisible sword aura that inspired fear.

The other person was dressed as a swordsman and was the one who had previously bought Lin Kong's [Azure Pattern Swords].

"Sect Master."

After paying their respects, the three elders of the Hundred Phases Sword Pavilion spoke directly without any further words.

"After these days of research, the forging method of these [Azure Pattern Swords]... is unprecedented! Inconceivable! We have never seen anything like it in our entire lives!"

"We studied it for three days, and we could only figure it out roughly."

"At first, we all thought that the other side used some kind of powerful and special material, but after research, we found that these [Azure Pattern Swords] were all forged from the most ordinary [Azure Edge Copper], and there was nothing special about the material."

"It's certain... the person who forged these [Azure Pattern Swords] possessed extraordinary, almost divine, sword-making skills!!"

The three of them sighed.

The astonishment still lingered in their eyes.

His mind was completely shaken by these [Azure Pattern Swords].

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such terrifying sword-making abilities existed in the world!

"So...you can't replicate it either, and we have to forge it ourselves?"

"The Pavilion Master of the Hundred Phases Sword Pavilion asked in a deep voice."

"Even if we disassemble these Azure Pattern Swords, we still won't be able to determine their specific forging methods!"

"Or to be more precise, even if the people who forged these Azure Pattern Swords taught us how to forge them step by step in front of us, we still wouldn't be able to learn."

"This sword-making technique is completely different from the conventional sword-making methods we know. It is an extremely exquisite and perfect sword-making skill, without a single flaw. It is a completely different system from the sword-making we know."

The three elders of the Hundred Images Sword Pavilion shook their heads.

"I see."

The Pavilion Master of the Hundred Phases Sword Pavilion nodded slightly.

He was equally shocked when he saw these Azure Pattern Swords.

The three elders, who were highly skilled in sword forging, were immediately tasked with conducting research.

They were trying to get them to master this sword-making method.

However, even with the sword-making skills of these three elders, they could not learn it at all.

"Although we cannot forge them, with these Azure Pattern Swords, combined with the Wind Phase Sword Technique, the strength of our Hundred Phase Sword Pavilion will surely rise to another level."

The Hundred-Image Sword Pavilion Master's eyes were bright.

Before this.

They have never had a suitable sword to use for the Wind-Style Sword Technique.

The Wind Phase Sword Technique is a powerful sword technique known for its speed, and it is most effective when paired with the Azure Pattern Sword.

However, ordinary Azure Pattern Swords simply cannot withstand the power of the Wind Phase Sword Technique and often break or shatter along the way.

This has been a constant source of trouble for the Hundred Images Sword Pavilion.

Now that they have these extremely sturdy Azure Pattern Swords, combined with the Wind Phase Sword Technique, the Hundred Phase Sword Pavilion Master is fully confident that they can help them break into the top three in Yunshui City!

"Yi'er, well done! You've done a great job this time!"

He praised it to his disciple beside him.

"I was just lucky."

Qi Yi, dressed as a swordsman, sighed.

"Since the person who sold these Azure Pattern Swords said they would go there to sell swords again in the future, you should keep a close eye on them. Whenever they appear, immediately invite them to visit our Hundred Forms Sword Pavilion."

"If the other party is unwilling, remember, do not force them, and do not offend them!"

"The existence capable of forging such a [Azure Pattern Sword] is definitely not someone our Hundred Phases Sword Pavilion can afford to offend. We can only befriend them, and we must never provoke them."

The master of the Hundred-Image Sword Pavilion gave earnest instructions.

"Disciple understands."

……

It wasn't just the Hundred Images Sword Pavilion that was shocked by the Azure Pattern Sword forged by Lin Kong.

On his way back, Manager Wang was still unable to calm down for a long time.

He thought of many things...

Even those who didn't believe in immortals are now showing signs of wavering.

Finally, he took a deep breath.

He decided to keep the incomparably sharp [Azure Pattern Sword] for himself.

On the one hand, given the powerful sharpness of this [Azure Pattern Sword], it can indeed be used as one's own weapon.

On the other hand, he also wanted to protect the Lin Jian Sect.

The current Linjian Sect...

Ultimately, it was too weak.

Moreover, it's just a sword-making sect, unlike other sects that have disciples who focus on cultivation and combat.

Lin Yue's disciples were all weak and lacked cultivation.

All the time was spent on forging the sword.

It might not be a good thing if people found out that the Linjian Sect was capable of forging such a [Azure Pattern Sword].

"I need to find an opportunity to remind them that they shouldn't show too much power before they're strong enough!"

"If people find out about this special [Azure Pattern Sword]... it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"The most urgent task for the Linjian Sect is to have sufficient military strength to protect itself, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"I need to think of a way to help them solve this problem."

Manager Wang fell into deep thought.

……

Inside the Linjian Sect.

"Here is the list. Go and purchase the materials listed on it as soon as possible."

Lin Kong handed a list of materials to Wang Tiancong.

Although he had already bought a lot of materials in Yunshui City.

However, they still left a considerable amount of money, intending to return and purchase the remaining materials.

Firstly, each place has unique materials that cannot be bought elsewhere.

Secondly, Lin Kong also needs to do some "public work".

At the very least, Nie Shuang and the others need to see the materials.

After all, I went to buy the materials alone this time, and the materials were all in my backpack, so they couldn't see anything and didn't know that I had bought a lot of materials.

It is necessary to let them handle some of the work as well, so that when they forge those buildings and swords, it won't seem like they were created out of thin air.

Otherwise, it would be too strange for them to suddenly have buildings and swords without even seeing the materials.

"Senior Brother, I've always been the one handling the purchasing of materials. Why don't you let me go?"

Nie Shuang said from the side.

Nowadays, they refer to Lin Kong as the sect leader when speaking to outsiders.

They only call Lin Kong "Senior Brother" when it's just the few of them.

Lin Kong shook his head.

"Besides handling internal sect affairs, you also need to accelerate your cultivation of internal strength and swordsmanship. You can't do everything. From now on, you will be in charge of internal affairs, and Tiancong will be in charge of external affairs."

"Yes."

Nie Shuang respectfully obeyed.

He also realized it.

They are now very weak in terms of military strength.

When Lin Yue was alive, he was at least a fourth-level Acquired Realm martial artist.

Although he has now cultivated internal energy, he is only at the first level of the Acquired Realm. In addition, his legs are crippled, so his strength is quite limited if he really fights someone.

"And what about me?"

Lin Huiyue, standing to the side, was gesturing in sign language.

"You don't need to do anything. Your only task is to practice your swordsmanship!"

"The safety of the Linjian Sect from now on depends on you."

Lin Kong said solemnly.

With Lin Huiyue's talent in swordsmanship, she will definitely become the strongest fighter in the Lin Sword Sect in the future.

He is also one of Lin Kong's key trainees.

As long as Lin Huiyue is properly trained, I believe her combat strength will not disappoint me.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiyue stood up straight and nodded solemnly with a serious expression.

She has always taken responsibility very seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have persisted in learning sword making all these years, even though he knew he wasn't good at it.

Now, she has to shoulder the safety of the Lin Jian Sect, a responsibility that is even greater, and Lin Huiyue attaches great importance to it.

After assigning tasks to the three of them, and handing them the "Basic Sword Techniques" manual that had been purchased earlier, he gave them the materials.

Lin Kong then returned to the sword-making shop.

He has unlocked many illustrations and has the materials; it's time to start forging.

He first took out some black iron.

when!

He punched her.

A countdown instantly appeared on the black iron.

16 seconds!

When the time came, a flash of white light appeared.

The black iron instantly transformed into a completely black forging hammer.

Its hammerhead is large and exceptionally heavy.

When you hammer with this forging hammer, it creates a slight vibration that stimulates your flesh and blood, which over time can improve your arm strength.

However, Lin Kong's attention was focused on the enhancement branch that appeared at the bottom of the encyclopedia.

Branch 1

[Illustrated Guide to Condensed Forging Hammers]

[Unlocked by consuming 49.5 experience points]
