Beauty and the Bodyguard

"So that's how it is. The path of weapon forging is truly profound and extraordinary." Lin Yi said, full of emotion.

Speaking of which, he had already tried to forge when he was in the secular world. That was how he got his steel staff. At that time, he thought that forging wouldn't be too difficult. It was just that everyone specialized in their own field, so he was still in the stage of fumbling around.

But now, from the king of junk's words, Lin Yi could already feel the depth of this profession. It was no less profound than alchemy, and if he looked down on it, it would be the embodiment of ignorance of a layman.

Those three were at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, after all. It was almost impossible to get away from them, especially when they burned down a house. Only Masters like Lin Yi could do that.

However, the king of junk had managed to do it. It was clear that the blacksmith's exclusive calm heart and breath holding technique was indeed extraordinary.

"That's for sure. I'm not boasting. Even if one were to study the Dao of weapon forging for a lifetime, one would at most have a superficial understanding of it. It's simply impossible to completely master it. " The king of junk was fascinated. After a pause, he rubbed his hands and said eagerly,""Brother Lin, time is precious. Can we start as soon as possible?"

Lin Yi blinked at how impatient the guy was, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He pointed at the ruins,"I don't have a problem with it, but is it right here?"

The king of junk shook his head and said,"of course not. Forging weapons is the same as refining elixirs. The environment is very demanding. If you want to refine elixirs, you'll at least have an alchemy furnace. However, forging weapons doesn't have a forging furnace. You'll have to find a good place that meets the conditions."

"Then where are we going to find such a place?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

In front of the king of junk, he was a complete layman. Since he had asked the king of junk for help, he could only let the other party make the decision. All he had to do was to cooperate.

The king of tatters put on a profound smile.""I know of a good place, brother Lin, just follow me."

Lin Yi didn't object to it and let the king of junk lead the way. The two walked for an hour before they finally reached their destination.

Looking at the entrance of the cave, which was as tall as a person but hidden by a pile of wild grass, Lin Yi was speechless."Brother Wang, if I'm not mistaken, this place should be near the spirit jade mine, right?"

"That's right, it's right next to the spiritual jade mine, and it's not too far from the best mining areas of the spiritual jade mine, Kuangqu one and two. If you're lucky, you might even be able to dig up spiritual Jade in the cave!" The king of junk led the way into the cave and answered without looking back.

"It's not far from the first and second Kuangqu?" Lin Yi was surprised again.

If that was the case, it was indeed possible to dig out spiritual Jade if he wanted to. However, if the king of junk knew about such a treasure land, why did he end up in such a state?

After all, this place was not like Kuangqu spirit Jade Hall, which had people supervising it. As long as one casually dug up spirit Jade here every day, no matter how much it was, it would all be his. His life should be quite comfortable. It should not be that he could not even afford a few spirit beast materials and could only shamelessly pick up the trash that others threw away, right?

"That's right! However, I was just joking. Brother Lin, please don't take it seriously. Please don't touch the walls of the cave and don't even think about digging out the spiritual Jade. If you accidentally touch the protective array inside, we'll both die." As the king of junk spoke, he took out a fluorite that he had prepared earlier and led the way into the depths of the cave with great familiarity.

Lin Yi's heart moved,"if I'm not wrong, since this place is so close to the first and second Kuangqu, it should be within the protection array. Maybe we stepped on the protection array already, but we don't know why we didn't trigger it. Why would there be a cave like this?"

The king of junk shook his head and said,"I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with my master. He brought me here the first time, and then he left without saying goodbye. So, no one else has come to this cave except me."

"Sun sikong?" Lin Yi blinked. The first time they met at the market, the king of junk said that he learned from a master forger called sun sikong for a few days-this must be the master he was talking about.

"That's right. My master is very powerful. It's not impossible for him to build a cave under the protective array without the three pavilions knowing." The king of junk's face was full of admiration.

"I really want to meet such an expert if I have the chance." Lin Yi said, excited.

This cave looked simple. However, the ability to appear in such a tight defense array without being discovered by anyone was not something that could be clearly explained in one or two sentences. The one who created this cave was at least remarkable.

"Heh, this depends on fate. Masters like my master have always been elusive. I'm afraid the chance of meeting him again in this life is slim." The king of junk sighed.

As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the depths of the cave. The front was much more spacious than the passage. It was about thirty to forty square meters in area, and there were many strange props placed in it.

Trash King smiled at Lin Yi's curious look,"These are all supplementary molds that might be used during the forging process. However, whether they are useful or not depends on what kind of weapon you want to forge. Speaking of which, brother Lin, do you have any thoughts or requirements?"

"Yes, I came to you this time because I want you to help me upgrade a weapon." With that, Lin Yi put down the bag he'd been carrying and pulled out a plain-looking Fire Stick-it was his steel staff.

The king of junk's eyes brightened when he saw the steel staff. He took it and examined it carefully from head to toe. He touched it with his hand and commented,""This thing, the materials used are all good. It can be seen that the forging was quite creative, but the properties of the materials were not fully explored. It's a bit of a waste."

Lin Yi couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat as he smiled bitterly."This is something I fumbled around on my own. I'm sorry to have embarrassed myself, brother Wang,"

The king of junk was shocked as he looked at Lin Yi with his eyes wide open,"So brother Lin is also a weapon forging master? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was just talking nonsense just now, please don't take it to heart. " (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
