Legendary Armament Canon

Zhou Shu thought that he had overestimated the mineral reserves here, but he realized that he had still underestimated them.

With the efforts of hundreds of miners day and night, the few warehouses that had been prepared were quickly filled.

Thousands of kilograms of various materials were piled up in a mess.

In the end, Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao felt numb about it.

The lack of manpower became apparent again.

Shi Songtao was the only one working on purifying the ore. Even if he had temporarily mastered the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, there was only so much work he could do alone.

He was not nearly as fast as miners could dig.

Zhou Shu didn't care much about purifying the ore.

In any case, he could slowly purify it in his own camp. If it didn't work, he could just bring the ore back to Great Xia.

He felt a little regretful now. There were only a dozen types of forging materials found in this mountain. He couldn't gather the materials to upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword!

His gaze fell to the continuous mountain range again.

There were more than a dozen kinds of forging materials in one mountain. There had to be other forging materials in these mountains.

But at the same time, there would definitely be a demon army in the mountains.

There was almost no doubt about it.

Zhou Shu had seen the arrival of the Demon Realm armies clearly. It was unknown how many there were.

If he was alone, going into the mountains in search of mines would be no problem at all.

Even if he encountered a demon army, he could come and go as he pleased.

But Yin Wuyou and the other two were with him now. He couldn't leave them behind.

More importantly, if he went into the mountains alone, even if he found the mineral mines, he couldn't possibly mine them himself.

Even if he dug them up, who would bring the ores back for him?

"What's most important? People." Zhou Shu sighed.

"What people?" Yin Wuyou asked doubtfully.

"Grand Minister, where do you think Great General Meng and the others went? Why did they suddenly get separated?" Zhou Shu said.

"I wasn't paying attention…" Yin Wuyou was a little embarrassed. How would she know? Zhou Shu had been eliminating demonic beasts too quickly back then, and she had used all her strength to barely keep up with him. How could she still be in the mood to care about Great General Meng's whereabouts?

[The Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The Heavenly Saber Art has improved by 10%.]

…

[The Spring Embroidered Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The Visualization of the Five Mountains' True Form Technique has improved by 30%.]

…

As he spoke, a few messages flashed past Zhou Shu's eyes.

This happened almost all the time.

Zhou Shu was already used to it.

But he also discovered that the standard weapons like the Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber, the Spring Embroidered Saber, the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber, and the Horse Slaying Saber were giving him less and less feedback.

This was not because the number of battles was decreasing but because the damage rate of these weapons had already reached a certain level.

Only the 100 standard weapons in the Legendary Armament Canon that Zhou Shu had personally forged would receive benefits after completing kills.

Zhou Shu had seen the number on the Legendary Armament Canon before. The number behind the Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber had gone from 100 to 70. The Spring Embroidered Saber had gone down to 40.

It was similar for the other weapons.

In a few days, these standard weapons would be completely damaged. At that time, the feedback from the Legendary Armament Canon would hit rock bottom.

The ranked weapons were better. At least for now, none of them were damaged.

Zhou Shu participated in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament precisely for this great harvest.

It was naturally a good thing to obtain so many forging materials now, but with the forging materials, he had to turn them into weapons and recruit workers.

He had to replenish the standard weapons in the Great Xia army!

Yin Wuyou looked at Zhou Shu with admiration in her eyes.

In her opinion, Zhou Shu's cultivation level was really increasing at all times.

Many times, as he walked, he fell into an epiphany.

Two days ago, while he was eating, he suddenly comprehended the Martial Dao and broke through to the third rank.

At the time, the humanoid demonic beast was so shocked that his tongue almost fell out.

Be it humans or demonic beasts, the third rank of the Martial Dao was a threshold. It wasn't so easy to break through.

But to Zhou Shu, breaking through to the Grandmaster's realm was as easy as drinking water.

The humanoid demonic beast form was even more certain that he had to kill this strange fellow. This fellow was too dangerous!

When he was a fourth-rank martial artist, he could beat him until he couldn't fight back. What about as a third-rank martial artist?

If this continued, wouldn't even those lords be unable to kill him?

He had to speed up his plan!

The walls of the camp had to be reinforced. He must not be allowed to escape!

What this humanoid demonic beast didn't know was that the increase in Zhou Shu's spiritual essence cultivation actually didn't increase his strength as much as he had expected.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique allowed Zhou Shu to have the strength of a first-rank martial artist.

His spiritual essence cultivation had increased from the fourth rank to the third rank, but his strength was still only at the first rank.

It could only be said that the shortcomings had increased correspondingly. His strength didn't increase.

His strength was still within the scope of a first-rank martial artist. He was only slightly stronger than ordinary first-rank martial artists.

On the other hand, Zhou Shu's Visualization of the Five Mountains' True Form had grown significantly recently.

The first of the five mountains that he visualized was almost solid.

This allowed his divine sense to expand to a radius of ten feet.
