Chapter 137 – Demon Devouring Bow
Chapter 137: Demon Devouring Bow
Arriving at the back of the mountain, they saw that most of the snow had melted and several pine trees had been revealed. There were even some not yet withered maple trees that still had some fire red leaves on them, bringing an autumn feeling into this cold winter.
A group of Imperial Guards brandished their weapons as they explored the cave. Then they reported back, “Sir, there is nothing in the cave.”
“Very good.”
Lin Mu Yu gave the order for the ores and other things to be pushed in. Then with Chu Huai Sheng personally guarding the entrance, there was only Lin Mu Yu alone left inside the cave. Placing the torch on the wall, he found the most spacious area and began to unload the iron ore one after another. Looking at the side, he found that there was a small puddle here that he could use to cool the weapons.
It took too much battle qi and energy to forge weapons, so he began with alchemy.
The refinement of the Dreaming of the Peak was a very familiar process and in less than an hour, he had already refined forty seven bottles of it. He packed up forty bottles as the portion he would give to Jin Xiao Tang, while the other seven he would keep. When he exited the cave, he found that Chu Huai Sheng was wielding his sword while leaning against the wall, humming to himself. This fellow was a man of culture, attracting the attention of women unlike those uncultured men like Qin Lei and Feng Ji Xing.
“Ah Yu, you’re done refining?” Chu Huai Sheng was stunned.
“Of course!” Lin Mu Yu revealed a smile, “But I’ve only finished with the alchemy portion.”
Taking out the seven bottles of Dreaming of the Peak, he smile and said, “Big brother Chu, do you know what is this?”
“Is it…..Dreaming of the Peak?” Chu Huai Sheng was a very intelligent person and could tell from his appearance that there was something precious in this little bottle.
Lin Mu Yu nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right, it’s Dreaming of the Peak. It has a great use to cultivators. After sleeping for three days, it would be equivalent to training for up to three years! Hmm, for these seven bottles, we can give one to you, Feng Ji Xing, Qin Lei, and her highness Yin. I could also give one to Wei Chou and the remaining can go to elder sister Chu Yao and Xiao Xi. This medicine is only useful the first time it is used and has no use if ingested a second time, so use it cautiously!”
“Really?”
Chu Huai Sheng was filled with excitement as he revealed an excited look on his face and said, “Ah Yu, you don’t know this, but commander Feng Ji Xing and commander Qin Lei are both at the peak of the 1st Heaven Realm tier. Perhaps your Dreaming of the Peak will be able to help them reach the 2nd Heaven Realm tier. With how arrogant the Divine Battalion is acting, this is simply help coming at the right time!”
Lin Mu Yu nodded and said, “Un, but the problem is that one will be asleep for three days. So one must pick the right time and make no mistakes.”
“You can be assured that we will have our own discretion.”
“Un, then I’ll go back to forging now!”
“Alright. Big brother will be guarding here until you come out.”
Beginning his forging, he took out a spirit stone from his chest. The 8700 year old thunder attributed spirit stone was the best one that he owned and it would depend on this spirit stone whether he could attack the saint level or not. Looking at the prairie sword again, the fact stood that the prairie sword had a 9000 year old fire jiao’s spirit stone which was stronger than this spirit stone. However, he had used normal profound iron instead of this ten thousand year old profound iron in front of him now, and Lin Mu Yu’s crafting fire and battle qi was much weaker then.
He had used the Alchemy Cauldron’s third layer earth flames to forge the prairie sword back then, but now he had the fifth layer Purgatory Flames, so the quality of the weapon forged would be completely different.
The power of the lightning was very strong and it was suitable to be forged into a strong weapon – the long spear!
During mounted battles, the spear was the king of weapons. If it was good enough, it would be no problem to sell it for a high price.
Taking out around a hundred pounds of the ten thousand year old profound iron, he immediately summoned the Alchemy Cauldron. The ten thousand year old profound iron slowly floated up and Lin Mu Yu slowly released his battle qi. The fire inside the cauldron became stronger and the red flames began to burn away at the ten thousand year old profound iron. While Lin Mu Yu was doing this, he could feel excitement coming from the ten thousand year old profound iron, as it waited for its new birth.
This large block of ten thousand year old profound iron was refined for around an hour. Sparks flew all over and the impurities of the ten thousand year old iron were all removed, taking around ten minutes or so for this process to finish. The ten thousand year old profound iron turned into a fire red liquid in the cauldron, waiting to be recast as a weapon.
The 8700 year old thunder attributed spirit stone that he held entered the Alchemy Cauldron. The Purgatory Flames surged forth and not long passed before the outer layer of the spirit stone cracked!
“Ao!”
A dragon like figure made of pure lightning appeared. Lulu reminded him in his mind, “Big brother, it’s a Thunderbolt Beast. You have to be careful, its thunder is very strong!”
Naturally, the Thunderbolt Beast bared its teeth as it charged over. With its large mouth open, purple lightning gathered around it, looking like it had to kill Lin Mu Yu.
However, this Alchemy Cauldron was Lin Mu Yu’s domain and the Thunderbolt Beast could not act wildly here. Rushing forth to welcome it, he punched out at it!
Third Luminary, Disaster of All Living Beings!
“Peng!”
Taking the attack, the Thunderbolt Beast’s soul was instantly defeated. The spirit stone’s soul did not even have 50% of its original strength and being in the Alchemy Cauldron, how could it take an attack from the Third Luminary?
The Thunderbolt Beast gave a pitiful cry as it slowly merged with the melted iron. Lulu quickly provided a variety of long spear designs and Lin Mu Yu picked the strongest looking one. The energy slowly gathered inside the mold created by the Alchemy Cauldron. When the thick iron liquid and the martial spirit entered the mold, the long spear took its form.
But it was not over yet. When the spear was cooling, Lin Mu Yu began to refine the blade with his Purgatory Flames because this part was the part that bore the majority of impact when one was attacking. It was unknown whether the spear would break when he was piercing humans, breaking bones, or destroying armours!
Using the Spiritual Pulse Technique, his spiritual sense was slowly released. When Lin Mu Yu’s spiritual sense came close to the spear’s blade, it was as if he was looking at the spear with a microscope, which would increase his precision when it came to forging. He never thought that the Spiritual Pulse Technique would have this kind of wonderful effect when it came to forging!
The entire process took close to three hours, but finally the long spear had been forged!
“Puchi……”
The long spear was placed in the water and steam was released. Lin Mu Yu quickly fished it out and weighed it in his hands. This spear had a good toughness to it because it was hollow, otherwise it would not be known as a spear, but rather a javelin. Thinking about it, he used the Purgatory Flame to write the spear’s name on it – Purgatory Thunder Spear!
Good name……A thunder spear forged from the Purgatory Flames!
After relaxing for a bit, he continued on to forge the next weapon.
The second weapon used the 6400 year old ice attributed spirit stone. Lin Mu Yu thought for a bit and decided to make battle saber, after all, even if he didn’t personally like to use a sabre, it was still the most common weapon on the battlefield. When the battle began, it was suited for the soldiers charging forth and had a higher variety of uses compared to swords.
He refined the ten thousand year old profound iron once again because this part could not be changed. After doing so, he began to refine the 6400 year old spirit stone. This time it was much easier. When the beast spirit tried to fight back, he used a single First Luminary to defeat it and then the refining was finished.
He picked a very powerful looking battle sabre mold, which made the sabre itself weigh around a hundred pounds. The sabre was an ice blue colour because of the soul refining and ice qi came from it when it was brandished, so it was named the Ice Soul Sabre. He carved the name onto the blade, even though his handwriting was a little ugly.
At this moment, he felt that he only had around 30% of his battle qi left.
Exiting the cave, he found that it was already dark. Chu Huai Sheng had lit up a bonfire and was huddling around it with the other Dragon Guards. There was half a wild boar on the fire. The wind dried pork continued to drip oil into the fire, creating a puchi, puchi sound. When he saw Lin Mu Yu walk out, Chu Huai Sheng revealed a smile and said, “Ah Yu, you’ve come out at the right time. Come and eat with us. We’ve also warmed some liquor so we can warm our bodies with them.”
Lin Mu Yu wanted nothing else and just sat down beside Chu Huai Sheng. Immediately, a Dragon Guard beside him cut off some meat for him and said with a smile, “Sir Lin, eat a lot…..”
Although the Dragon Guards had a higher status compared to the Falcon Guards, with Lin Mu Yu’s strength, any Dragon Guard would be respectful to him.
Chewing the fragrant meat in his mouth and then drinking a mouthful of wine, he felt like he had arrived in heaven. After refining the Purgatory Thunder Spear and the Ice Soul Blade, Lin Mu Yu had used quite a bit of energy. Eating the meat and drinking the wine like this, he felt like he needed nothing else. He couldn’t help giving a satisfied laugh, “This feeling is really satisfying……”
Chu Huai Sheng let out a laugh, “Ah Yu, what kind of person are you, being able to learn both Alchemy and Forging. From what I can remember, there has never been another person like this…….”
Lin Mu Yu did not want to answer and did not know how to answer this question. He just said, “I have some secrets…..It’s better that big brother Chu does not know. Anyway, I will always be good to big brother Chu and elder sister Chu Yao, so that is enough.”
“Un, good words! Alright eat a lot!”
“Un, un!”
After filling himself with food and recovering most of his energy, he went back to forging!
The next spirit stone was the 5100 year old Piercing Demon’s spirit stone. Lin Mu Yu thought about using this spirit stone and ten thousand year old profound iron to make a longbow. Of course he would be making the bow’s body. After this, he went back to the Imperial Capital Store to buy some cow tendons to make a bowstring with and completed it.
Taking some arrows from the Imperial Guards, he notched the arrow into the bow. When he released the strong, a “jie jie” sound came from the bow and poison began to surround the arrow. It flew off with a “sou” sound and embedded itself into a rock. When he ran over to retrieve the arrow, he saw a burnt black mark on the stone as if it had been hit with poison.
This bow was quite good, it automatically added poison!
So, he gave it an overbearing name – the Demon Devouring Bow.
Lin Mu Yu had already thought about it and decided that using the bow himself would be a waste, so he would give it to Wei Chou. Wei Chou’s archery skills were unparalleled in the Falcon’s Nest and he would not waste this Demon Devouring Bow if it was given to him. Moreover, if he gave this bow to Wei Chou, he would definitely follow Lin Mu Yu for a lifetime.
