The hammer rose and fell.
The Ancestral Master's Anvil remained motionless, but emitted a pleasant hum.
Eight forges in one breath... Nine forges in one breath...
Li Mo did not start the Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements from the sixth forge this time, because he had used the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form multiple times, and his Physical Body had already reached its limit.
After a full sixty-four hammers.
He felt as if all the pores /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ on his body had opened, and the powerful force in his strong right hand was like a mountain roaring and a sea surging, with the sweat flowing out tinged with blood-red.
As a Mystic Weapon, the starry pestle's power was stimulated to its extreme at this moment, with strength and scorching heat gushing forth simultaneously.
Boom!
Flames shot into the sky, like brilliant fireworks soaring upwards; every inch of the weapon embryo was tempered to its extreme at this moment, like the nascent morning sun on the anvil.
It wasn't just the weapon he had just forged.
He himself was also like this.
“Hoo... Haa...”
Li Mo stood rooted to the spot, listening to the hum of the starry pestle and the Ancestral Master's Anvil; he felt as if he heard more than before.
Not just the hammer and the anvil.
There were also the numerous weapons born on it, their strong or weak weapon-killing sharpness, all cheering towards him at this moment!
He originally thought it would take at least five more days.
But the Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements, under the amplification of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, had become unimaginably powerful!
Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, Perfection!
“This is what it feels like to have a Physical Body like a famous artifact...”
Li Mo hadn't had time to carefully sense the changes in his body when he suddenly realized he couldn't feel the surrounding temperature.
He even felt a bit cool.
Emmmm.
He was standing right next to the fire vein; if he could feel cool here, then how hot was he now?
Elder Han He and Elder Zeng were about to come over and check, when they saw Li Mo take off running.
“Hey, where are you going, kid?”
“To the cold pond for quenching!”
Elder Han He saw the weapon on the anvil, paused, and then shouted, “You're not even taking your weapon, what are you going to quench?”
“Oh, oh, I forgot.”
So Li Mo quickly ran back and grabbed the scorching hot weapon fresh out of the furnace.
Then, with a splash, he plunged into the bottomless cold pond, and a large cloud of white steam rose up.
“......”
“......”
Han He and Old Zeng exchanged glances and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
So, if they weren't mistaken, that kid just directly used his hand to grab the red-hot weapon, right?
Well, it turns out that the quenching you were talking about was quenching yourself!
The two old men were silent for a long time, unable to speak.
“Gurgle...”
“Comfortable.”
Li Mo soaked in the cold pond, and the temperature of his body finally dropped.
All the acupoints and Meridians around his body seemed to have their own breathing, and his muscles and bones were refined to an exquisite degree.
“Crack...”
He casually picked up a piece of frost silver Ore embedded in the pond wall, with a faint circle of frost patterns on it.
He grabbed it and instantly crushed it!
“Now, just with my Physical Body, standing here and letting people hit me, those of the same realm probably wouldn't be able to break my defense, right?”
Li Mo sensed a bit more and found that his current body was not just strong.
Moreover, as soon as a thought fell, his body would react immediately.
In other words, he would no longer experience the following situations.
Eyes: “I understand.”
Brain: “I've learned it.” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Hands: “MMP...”
“If I use the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form now, it shouldn't just be one body part anymore...”
“It's a pity I can't try it again today.”
Li Mo grabbed the newly forged long sword and began to swim towards the surface of the cold pond.
At the same time, Elder Han He and Elder Zeng were still staring at each other on the bank, both old men full of words they didn't know how to say, not to mention that kid hadn't come up yet.
Just.
Where is there a blacksmith forging iron, who, while forging, also refines himself and the weapon together?
Now, they finally understood what Li Mo said that day, about refining himself like a Medicinal Pill; so, you really were that Medicinal Pill?
Gurgle—
The cold pond surged, and Li Mo burst out of the pond, with thick white mist all around his body, yet not a single drop of water on him.
As soon as he came up, he saw the two old men staring intently at him.
“Two Elders, the sword.”
Elder Zeng took it, glanced at it briefly, and nodded.
Elder Han He didn't even need to touch it; just by looking at the luster, he knew:
“Not bad, all these Materials have been utilized to their fullest by you. It is indeed a High Grade Sharp Weapon. At your age, you are qualified to go to the Sword Furnace to broaden your horizons.”
“Now you can also try forging famous artifacts.”
“Alright, let's put the sword aside for now, and now...”
“Let us see!”
“???”
Seeing the two old men full of interest and with fiery eyes, Xiao Li leaned back slightly.
But fortunately, he knew that the two old craftsmen, who had poured their hearts into forging, were merely curious about him, just like a biologist seeing a rare animal that had long been extinct.
Of all types of martial arts, only horizontal training is the simplest, and at the same time, the most difficult.
Unless seen with one's own eyes, no one could believe that someone at his age could have a physique comparable to a famous artifact.
“Xiao Mo, is this... natural?”
Well, Elder Han He found it hard to believe even after seeing it with his own eyes: “You didn't learn Old Dog Zeng's methods, take a shortcut, and use some kind of forced growth technique, did you?”
Elder Zeng sneered, “You old scoundrel, don't slander me! Mine is called emphasizing both effort and wisdom. If you don't use your brain when forging, you'll never become a Grandmaster in your life.”
“You damn it!”
“What?!”
Seeing the two short-tempered old men about to quarrel again, Li Mo asked at the opportune moment:
“Forced growth techniques, is there really a shortcut to refining the Physical Body?”
“There are always those who want to cut corners in the world, racking their brains to research crooked paths.”
Elder Han He cleared his throat, not knowing who he was hinting at.
Anyway, he continued before Elder Zeng could speak:
“You know about the Casting Assembly at the Sword Furnace, right?”
“I've heard a little about it.”
Li Mo had heard others in the Forging Institute mention it.
The Sword Furnace existed during the Great Shang period, and many of the Divine Weapons on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Weapon List came from it, and it was especially skilled at forging swords.
After the Sword Furnace was incorporated into the Tianshan Sword Manor, it grew even stronger, and every year the Casting Assembly attracted countless master craftsmen who flocked to it.
This was equivalent to a grand stage for artisans, where if you had a dream, you came.
“For example, the one Old Man and Old Dog Han He participated in when we were young.”
“Some blacksmiths, in order to win awards at the Casting Assembly, would even make deals with the Blood Refinement Hall of the Demon Summoning Sect to purchase their forbidden drugs.”
“Then, by injecting it before the competition, their Physical Body strength could be elevated by more than one grade.”
Li Mo: “?”
Stimulants, right?
No, wait, Blood Refinement Hall...
Didn't the Demon Summoning Sect only have the Wu Lian Hall? What kind of strange branch is this now?
Elder Han He sighed, “Their Blood Refinement Hall's medicine, is it for humans? They aren't competing in physique; they're fundamentally competing to see who is more drug-resistant!”
