Chapter 455: Sword Forging (2)
Jiancheng also has a city lord's mansion.
However, Jiancheng City did not have a real city lord. The one who made the decisions here was the Jianmen Grand Elder who took turns to be in charge. Nowadays, it was Wutong Sou who naturally controlled all the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion of Jiancheng is not large, only about ten acres in size, and there are no public housing for various departments in it. There is only a courtyard with a pavilion covering an area of about one acre in the middle. In the middle of the first floor of the pavilion, there is a deep well with a diameter of several meters. This is the most important place in Jiancheng.
Wutong Sou personally accompanied Bai Yuan and greeted him with a big smile on his face.
In Jiancheng, Wutong Sou is definitely the one with the most sensitive information. Especially when Bai Yuan made the promise before, he did not hide it or use any forbidden method to block the sound.
Therefore, the old man Wutong knew that the Supreme Immortal Edict sent down from the upper realm, which could allow the cultivators of this world to ascend to heaven and attain enlightenment, was actually all controlled by Bai Yuan!
This is simply!
As everyone knows, the Supreme Immortal Edict came down from the upper realm and landed directly at the gate of Jianmen Mountain, and was taken over by Jianmen!
But who would have thought that all the Supreme Immortal Edicts, the tickets to the upper world, were actually controlled by Bai Yuan? To act like this, were the Supreme Elders of Jianmen crazy? To allow her to do so recklessly?
But she did it anyway!
The inside story is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully. Wutong Sou doesn't dare to think too much, let alone inquire more. But he knows that now he must serve Bai Yuan like his ancestor - maybe, he, Wutong Sou, can get a Supreme Immortal Edict?
The truth is, there are too many competitors!
Not to mention those small sects and schools, they are just cannon fodder in the conquest of Jishengtian.
But apart from those small sects, how many powerful sects are there in Yuanlingtian? Among the top 100 sects, which one does not have a great master in the half-step heavenly realm? It's just a matter of quantity!
As for Jianmen, as far as Wutong Sou knew, there were no less than half a hundred supreme elders in Jianmen who were at the half-step heavenly realm!
This is a core secret that only the top leaders of Jianmen know...
With so many Half-Step Heaven Realm masters, who wouldn't want to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, who wouldn't want to live forever? As a young and handsome guy among these great elders, it was too difficult for Wutong Sou to snatch a great immortal edict from .
However, Bai Yuan actually dared to promise a Supreme Immortal Edict to swordsmiths such as Master Han Que and Master Huo Yuan?
This is the living ancestor!
This is my real ancestor!
Wutong Sou no longer looked miserable and desolate as he had been offended, beaten, and extorted for an astronomical amount of compensation. With a rosy face and full of energy, he personally led Lu Yi and his party to the deep well that was constantly emitting rich Taoist spiritual energy.
"Young Master, and Master Yin, Master Lu, and the three girls, this is the lifeline of our Sword City."
"It is because of this that the huge Sword City has become the largest sword-making holy land in Yuanlingtian. It is also the source of our Sword Sect disciples' continuous acquisition of various top-grade flying swords."
"This is a forbidden area. Even if I am an old man, I cannot go down here easily without a legitimate reason."
"But who asked Young Master to come in person? Is there any place in Yuanling Heaven that Young Master cannot go ? No, there definitely isn't..."
Wutong Sou's words made Bai Yuan smile widely. He kept nodding at him, and it was obvious that he was very pleased with his attitude.
Seeing Bai Yuan smile, Wutong Sou felt as if he had gained two taels of weight off all the bones in his body. He hurriedly asked Bai Yuan to get ready, then he backhandedly shot out a set of twelve fist-sized purple-gold beads, wrapping everyone up.
A golden and purple glow gushed out like a huge wave of water, gently sweeping up everyone, and in a flash, it flew towards the wellhead.
A dull loud "gurgling" sound came from below, and purple-gold light surrounded the crowd, breaking through the Taoist inspiration that kept surging up from below, like a falling meteor, rushing rapidly downwards along a straight corridor.
There was constant sound of thunder, and the light clouds and the surging Dao rhyme and spiritual energy below were rubbing and colliding rapidly, constantly making dull loud noises, and there were splashes of thunder and lightning. From time to time, rich vitality was impacted by the lightning, and condensed from the vitality state into crystals and gems of different sizes, or various strange gold and stones in a semi-solidified state, which collided with the light clouds and made a "booming" sound.
Down, down, down.
Lu Yu secretly estimated and couldn't help but feel a palpitation. According to the speed of the light haze's descent, they have already gone thousands of miles underground. That day in Hanyue Temple, the Buddhist treasury was only more than 300 miles underground. And this deep well in Jiancheng is so deep?
The lower they descended, the more strange lights lingered around them. Turbid and turbulent underground energy rolled and impacted, like a mad dragon roaring and twisting. Occasionally, a stream of energy rushed over, and its power was so great that even through the protective light halo, people felt frightened. The impact force was no less than the full-strength attack of a master in the Condensation Fruit Realm.
The group continued to go down. The deeper they went, the more ferocious and powerful the earth energy became, and the frequency of the impacts became higher and higher.
By the time Lu Yi calculated that everyone had probably fallen thirty thousand miles into the ground, the purple-gold and two-colored light that protected their bodies had been impacted at least ten thousand times in the blink of an eye, and each impact was comparable to a full-strength attack from a powerful being who had just entered the Illuminating Void Realm.
It was a powerful being like Wutong Sou, who was at the half-step heavenly realm, who protected everyone with the help of twelve rare pearls.
If it were someone else... Lu Yi calculated that if he was left here alone, he could only last for a cup of tea at most. If he couldn't find a way to escape, he would definitely be ground into powder.
While he was thinking, the violent attacks of the earth vein energy all around him suddenly subsided, and a bright light appeared in front of his eyes. All the earth vein energy became gentle and generous, like tamed wild horses. They were orderly and shuttled back and forth in the void according to their respective attributes, just like quiet rivers.
Here, it is thirty thousand miles underground.
It is magnificent and majestic, highlighting the wonders of creation. It is simply an incredible miracle.
It is difficult to describe the beauty of this place with words. It can be roughly imagined as dozens of human lungs magnified tens of millions of times, carefully connected together, and the entire thing embedded 30,000 miles deep underground.
The trachea and blood vessels were flashing a faint light.
Countless alveoli of all sizes continuously inhale and exhale the vital energy of the earth's veins that roll and flow around them.
In those alveoli, various colors of strange lights flickered, and groups of light balls, some bright, some dark, some large, some small, wrapped in strange shapes of light and shadow. There were armor, bows and arrows, ships, pavilions, eighteen kinds of weapons, various clothes and ornaments, and even various common treasures and utensils, etc., everything was available.
But more than 99% of these light balls are still swords.
Various swords.
Long and short, wide and narrow, thick and thin, with or without hilts, in sets of three or five or a hundred...even various sword wheels, sword cases, sword diagrams, etc...
Everything you can imagine, anything sword-related, is here.
"This is one of the most important hubs of our Jianmen. It was created 30,000 years ago by the Supreme Supreme with his supreme magical powers and infinite might, using the rare treasure 'Earth Lung Furnace' sent down from the upper realm."
"Here, there are 360,000 alveoli of all sizes. Each alveolus swallows and exhales infinite spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, absorbs infinite earth vein energy, seizes the fortune of the heaven and earth, and creates acquired mysteries. Over a thousand years, an average of 360 top-quality embryos can mature every year!"
"These top-grade embryos, as long as they are added with a little acquired material and tempered and polished with true fire, can be transformed into a top-grade magic weapon in a few days. They are naturally psychic and full of spirituality. The power of each bite is comparable to that of a real acquired magic treasure."
“And in this Earth Lung Furnace, the treasure embryos conceived are also divided into high and low levels.”
Wutong Old Man looked at Bai Yuan and lowered his voice: "Every sixty years, this Earth Lung Furnace can breed a true acquired spiritual treasure embryo, but..."
Bai Yuan waved his hand carelessly and said, "As long as my brother Lu and the three sisters like it, just take it. If anyone has any questions about it, just come to me."
Ten sword-making grandmasters including Han Que and Huo Yuan trembled in their faces.
What Han Que had promised to Lu Yi before was nothing more than an embryo of a top-grade flying sword bred in the Earth Lung Furnace... and even this was what Han Que had saved up with great difficulty.
The Earth Lung Furnace can only produce 360 embryos every year, but how many disciples does Jianmen have? How many new disciples are recruited every year? Who doesn't want to have a top-grade flying sword that was created by heaven and earth and has its own spiritual power?
There are too many monks and too little porridge, this is the norm!
Han Que could promise Lu Yi a flying sword embryo of top quality. This was the limit of what he could do and also the ultimate of his power as a sword-making grandmaster.
As for the embryos of the real backstage spiritual treasures that only take sixty years to breed, there are quite a few in the Earth Lung Furnace. However, they are all regarded as the foundation of the sect. Who dares to touch these foundations easily?
But the white turtle dared to give it as a favor so easily!
Han Que and the others were stunned and speechless, but their hearts were boiling with excitement - being able to use a real spiritual treasure embryo to forge a real acquired spiritual treasure was undoubtedly the highlight of their forging career... Especially, if they could forge a set of acquired spiritual treasures for Lu Yi that satisfied him, wouldn't they be able to curry favor with Bai Yuan?
All of a sudden, the ten sword-making grandmasters were ready to fight with all their strength.
Lu Yi bowed to Bai Yuan generously and said, "In that case, since we are family, we won't say anything out of politeness. My sister-in-law is so kind, so I will accept it... Qingyou, you should also thank my sister-in-law, and then go pick one that suits your taste!"
Lu Yi laughed loudly, not considering himself an outsider at all. He released his divine sense to scan the surroundings, and flew towards the places .
Wutong Old Man looked at Bai Yuan, who was smiling, and hurriedly said, "Master Lu, I remember that there are a few spiritual treasure embryos among the treasures you want to forge. They are most suitable for you. Take a look and see if they suit your taste."
The old man Wutong bowed to the white turtle, then hurriedly caught up with Lu Yi, vying to be the guide.
