Chapter 84 Listening to the Snowstorm
The Dragon List gathers the most outstanding martial arts geniuses under the Hengshan Dao Jiazi.
Li Yuan looked up and down and saw a familiar name. Yue Chongtian, who was born with a red dragon body and had a great reputation in Dechang Prefecture, ranked more than 540th.
Lin Dongping, Yan Xiong, Hua Qingwu and other disciples who entered the same batch were also mixed in with him.
There are more than 600 people on the Dragon List, and there is no weak player. Even the last one is a well-known genius martial artist in the prefecture and county.
"What a gathering of heroes."
Li Yuan felt a little emotional, but he could understand it.
It's like in the previous life, after entering a prestigious university with excellent grades, his roommates and classmates also had excellent grades. This is not because of his own decline, but because the environment has changed.
"I'm afraid I can't make it to the top 30 on the Dragon Ranking for the time being.
Li Yuan felt that even if he had achieved great success in opening meridians, he might not be able to make it to the top 30, unless he could comprehend the thunder form and integrate his own 50 forms with the Thunder Dragon of Hundred Beasts.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that before refining the internal organs, he could only hover outside the 30.
"This is okay. With Senior Brother Long's example, it doesn't matter if I'm a little more conspicuous. If I'm faster than him, it will be a bit troublesome.
Master Li is very steady. It's not that he thinks too much, but similar things have already happened in the Divine Weapon Valley.
Although Long Xinglie's spirit is not comparable to Shi Hong, he feels that there is no need to compete for this limelight. He will have to eat the benefits of being on the Dragon Ranking.
The main peak of Longmen is majestic and magnificent. There is a huge open space on the hillside, and there is no arena. At this moment, many disciples have already fought in it.
But it's only part of it. He also saw the assessments of ironmaking, collecting herbs, and refining pills.
Although the Dragon and Tiger Temple is a sect in the martial arts world, it is at the top of the Dao. It looks a bit like the imperial court. The assessment is naturally not only about martial arts.
There are three veins, nine halls, and fifty-four rudders inside, and the Dragon and Tiger Armies outside. There are countless forces that are related to each other.
Like a huge net, it covers the entire Hengshan Dao, controls four states and governs all prefectures. It is the true uncrowned king.
In Li Yuan's own understanding, the Dragon List is, in a sense, a kind of protection and tempering for talented disciples, just like after passing the imperial examination, the outstanding ones will enter the Hanlin Academy for further study, and after tempering, they will be sent to serve as officials.
Li Yuan shuttled between the assessment sites, sometimes stopping, sometimes shaking his head, and sometimes taking a few more glances. He felt that his thoughts were very accurate.
"The disciples listed on the Dragon List are those under the age of sixty, which means that as long as they are talented enough, the Dragon and Tiger Temple does not mind raising them to sixty. Even if there are any tasks assigned during this period, most of them are just training.
Muttering in his heart, the vested interest Li Daoye is very satisfied with the mechanism of cultivating talents in the Dragon and Tiger Temple. In his previous life, he would have retired at the age of sixty.
Rounding off, it is equivalent to being raised by the sect for a lifetime. This treatment is really amazing.
"Li, Uncle Li."
Li Yuan was walking around and heard a familiar voice. Wang Xuanying, who was dressed in white, bowed and greeted with a smile on his face.
"Nephew Wang."
Li Yuan nodded. He didn't have a good impression of Wang Xuanying.
But he couldn't resist the fact that the other party apologized too much. If it weren't for his spiritual rice share, he would have run out of food a few months ago.
"Uncle, I have just bought this year's spiritual rice share. Six hundred kilograms of red corn have been sent to your courtyard. "
Wang Xuanying was quite respectful, even a little cautious:
"My share of elixirs this year has not been used yet. If you need it, just let me know."
"Oh?"
Li Yuan glanced at him and was amazed.
In less than a year, a young man who was driven by others has become flexible. This progress is really not slow.
"I have a few good friends. If you need it, I can ask them for a share.
Wang Xuanying lowered his head slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
In the past six months, especially after Li Yuan jumped three levels on the Dragon Ranking and entered the top 40, he would wake up from his sleep every night, regretful and frightened.
"Thank you very much.
Li Yuan did not refuse. He had a great demand for elixirs, and if he did not accept this gesture of goodwill, it would make him think wildly.
"No, no.
Seeing that he received it so smoothly, Wang Xuanying was relieved. Although he felt a little painful, he thought that this might not be a bad thing.
He knew very well how many people wanted to befriend Uncle Li in the past six months. Maybe he would turn a disaster into a blessing?
After sending Wang Xuanying away, Li Yuan went to take the assessment. The assessment for the pure Gangduo disciples was naturally iron forging, and with his weapon forging attainments, there was no problem.
And the fact that he repaired and forged weapons for the disciples of the sect for free was enough to offset the task he did not perform.
The inner disciples had a dispatch mission every year or half a year, but this mission could offset it.
"The share of the elixir will not be moved for the time being, and the elixir rice must be bought first.
Shares are shares, whether it is elixir or elixir rice, you have to spend money to buy it. Li Yuan calculated and decided to buy the elixir rice first.
The 40,000 taels he borrowed from Xin Wenhua before, and the actual amount was 36,000 taels of gold, most of which were spent on the forging shop, so it is natural to save money now.
After passing the assessment and buying the elixir rice, Li Yuan did not stay for long and went straight down the mountain. The top-grade Autumn Water Sword he made for Xin Wenhua was also about to be finished.
......
Wang Xuanying watched Li Yuan's back as he went away, and he was finally relieved.
He was about to return when he suddenly heard a sneer:
"Being arrogant at first and respectful later, it makes people laugh. "
Wang Xuanying's face changed, and he saw a gray-clothed swordsman holding a sword and sneering, with undisguised contempt:
"When the master was here, you were always at his side. Less than a month after the master was seriously injured, you rushed to find Li Yuan to show your goodwill. Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
"Gao, Senior Brother Gao."
Wang Xuanying's face changed.
This swordsman was Chu Xuankong's eldest disciple, Gao Wanyong, who was ranked more than 40 on the Dragon List more than ten years ago. If he was not old, he would have been a master who could have impacted the top three+.
He gritted his teeth and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the swordsman.
"Master wants to see you."
Gao Wanyong's expression was indifferent. Dragon and Tiger Temple strictly prohibited private fights. Unless Wang Xuanying bet with him, he would be in trouble if he took action without authorization.
"Master Chu...
Wang Xuanying's heart trembled. His face turned pale.
Gao Wanyong had already turned around and looked at the dragon monument not far away, his eyes flickering:
"It's been less than a year since I started, and I've already made it to the top four on the Dragon List...
He once fought his way from the top 600 on the Dragon List to the top 40, but it took him nearly 50 years, and this kid has only been a student for a year.
"No wonder Wang Xuanying was scared out of his wits. Long Xinglie was no better than this back then, right?"
Gao Wanyong's eyes sank slightly, and he turned and left.
Wang Xuanying hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and followed him.
......
Swish!
The smoke rose several feet high from the pool.
In front of the forging table, Li Yuan put down the hammer, and a pure yellow color appeared in front of his eyes:
"It's done!"
Li Yuan felt relieved and smiled.
Originally, with his attainments in weapon casting, the possibility of failure in forging a top-grade famous weapon was not small, but the palm sound seal made up for his shortcomings.
"The weapon casting technique is perfect!
The creation of a top-grade famous weapon is a symbol of the perfection of the weapon casting technique. So far, Li Yuan's weapon casting attainments have caught up with Lei Jingchuan.
"It's done!"
When the smoke cleared, Xin Wenhua's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know how to forge iron or forge weapons, he was a swordsman with many years of experience, so he could naturally tell whether a sword was good or bad.
""It's only half done."
Li Yuan reminded him that the quenching and tempering were successful, and the top-grade famous weapon had been completed by 60%, but the following processes were more troublesome.
Of course, it was just troublesome, not difficult.
"At this point, it's done.
Xin Wenhua reached out and took the long sword from the furnace, shaking it gently. The sword sounded as clear as a dragon. Although it had not been polished, the sword had a texture like water waves on it:
"Junior brother Li has good craftsmanship!"
"Fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission.
Li Yuan closed the furnace fire. Although it was still early, after making this top-grade famous weapon, he didn't want to forge iron today.
"You don't have to bother me with the next process. Good sword, good sword. I'm afraid your craftsmanship is not inferior to that of Senior Brother Lin. "
Xin Wenhua played with the semi-finished sword, and he couldn't let it go. He originally had a top-grade sword and invited Li Yuan to make this Qiushui sword, most of which was exquisite.
But now that he got it, he found that the feel of this famous sword was better than the two he had before. It had nothing to do with the grade, but the fit.
This sword suits him very well.
"As long as you like it, senior brother.
Li Yuan was in a good mood because his work was praised.
This is the first top-grade famous weapon he made. Although it is a little rough, it is also the result of his hard work.
When making this sword, not only was it blessed by the palm soldier seal and the palm sound calculation, but also by the "Sword Heart Clear" blessed by the Fire Dragon Sword.
In this way, he asked himself that this sword was not inferior to any top-grade famous weapon.
"Anyway, thank you!"
Xin Wenhua was in a very good mood, and a little impatient. He just said a few words of thanks and ran quickly to the depths of the pure Gangduo. For the final polishing, he also had to find the best craftsman.
"Congratulations, Master Li!"
"A top-quality weapon! Master Li's weapon forging skills are no less than the helmsman!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
As soon as Xin Wenhua left, the inner disciples gathered around him came forward to thank him, admire him, and praise him.
Li Yuan responded with a smile, and took a large number of orders. After that, he returned to his residence with dozens of various weapons.
.......
Huhu~
In the evening, the wind and snow got stronger again, and the peaks of the sky were all white.
Li Yuan walked slowly on the mountain road, in a good mood:
"I am only half a step away from the great perfection, and I can start to forge a magic weapon.
Although the magic fire combined furnace can already combine magic weapons, this is different from the meaning of forging a magic weapon by hand. The status of a magic craftsman is extremely high, even in the Dragon and Tiger Temple.
"If he really became a master craftsman, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to give him a few Dragon and Tiger Pills?"
It is said that one pill can equal a century of hard work. Li Yuan is naturally thinking about it. He has not forgotten the injuries of Lao Lei and Lao Jingtou.
On a hill, Li Yuan stopped and looked into the distance, overlooking the vast mountains, slightly closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of wind and snow.
In the space of holding soldiers, the listening wooden seal glowed slightly, and it was already able to be promoted to the third level.
"Well, before the promotion, the number of times to listen to the heavenly sound cannot be wasted....
