Legendary Armament Canon

Therefore, their current reserves of Heaven Refining Stones were what the armies of the various nations had brought with them before entering the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space. This amount was not too much.

"Heaven Refining Stones…" Zhou Shu pondered. "I wonder if the Demon Realm has any Heaven Refining Stone mines."

The lack of other materials could be replaced, but Heaven Refining Stones were irreplaceable.

Without Heaven Refining Stones, they wouldn't be able to forge ranked weapons.

"But there's no hurry," Shi Songtao said. "We still have some reserves of Heaven Refining Stones. We can last for a while.

"By the way, Pavilion Master, there's something else I need to ask you.

"Previously, you asked me to publicize the secret forging formulas of our Huaxia Pavilion. After thinking about it, I still don't think it's appropriate to publicize them directly.

"Currently, more than half of the forgers under us are from other nations. It seems like everyone is united now, but it's hard to say when we will return to the Ten Nations in the future.

"Therefore, I thought that I had to let them contribute to the Huaxia Pavilion. Then, according to the amount of the contribution, I would give them secret forging formulas and even teach them the relevant forging techniques."

"Points system?" Zhou Shu looked at Shi Songtao and smiled.

It seemed that Shi Songtao had really put in a lot of effort. He was really thinking about the Huaxia Pavilion. This deputy pavilion master was very dutiful.

"What is the points system?" Shi Songtao asked blankly.

"The contribution you mentioned is actually the same as the merit points in the army. I prefer to call them points," Zhou Shu explained with a smile. "How about this? In the future, not only those forgers, but the forgers under the Huaxia Pavilion will also follow this system.

"Here, one point for every standard weapon forged, and one hundred points for every ranked weapon forged.

"If something is forged together, points will be distributed according to the amount of effort.

"Design the specific points system carefully. It must be fair and just so that everyone will be convinced."

"I understand." Shi Songtao nodded. It was just a change of name. It didn't contradict what he'd been thinking.

"Pavilion Master, if those forgers offer their own secret forging formulas, can we give them some points?" Shi Songtao asked.

"Of course. This can be considered a contribution to the Huaxia Pavilion. After all, it can enrich our own secret forging formula library." Zhou Shu nodded.

"Do you have any rules on how many points can be exchanged for a secret forging formula?" Shi Songtao continued to ask questions.

"It depends on the value of each. You formulate a plan. If there are no problems after I read it, we'll implement it," Zhou Shu said.

"By the way, how's the construction of the forging room going?"

"Grand Craftsman Li Chengliang is building it with his men," Shi Songtao said. "Thanks to the Cosmic Bangles, we were able to bring the smelting furnaces."

The karst cave extended in all directions, and there were room-like caves inside. With a little modification, it became a room.

Zhou Shu didn't worry about anything else, but he had instructed them to build a few forging rooms from the beginning.

To Zhou Shu, forging was basic. He couldn't be careless about this.

To deal with the Demon Realm, the only advantage humans had was their weapons.

After exchanging a few more words with Shi Songtao, Zhou Shu left the storeroom, planning to take a look at the forging room.

Zhou Shu hadn't walked far when he bumped into Mi Ziwen.

Mi Ziwen had a relaxed smile on his face. "Second Brother, we found an underground river up ahead. The water in the river is very clear and can be drunk directly. And there are actually fish in the river!"

Mi Ziwen was very happy. After the supplies stored by the Great Demon Yao Lian were exhausted, the army was faced with a lack of food. Now that they had discovered such an underground river, the army finally didn't have to worry about dying of thirst and hunger.

"Really? That's wonderful." Zhou Shu smiled. The cave Yao Lian had discovered was really a treasure.

"General Wang Xin seems to have discovered another exit. He's gone out to investigate with his men," Mi Ziwen continued.

"What?" Zhou Shu frowned. "Didn't I say not to leave the cave easily? What if we encounter demonic beasts?"

"He's going out alone. It should be okay," Mi Ziwen said. He had tried to dissuade Wang Xin, but Wang Xin had insisted on going. The two of them were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, so Mi Ziwen couldn't control him.

But he also felt that with Wang Xin's second-rank martial arts cultivation, as long as he didn't encounter a first-rank demonic beast, he shouldn't be in too much danger. After all, he was only secretly going out to investigate.

"Then, where is the exit? Show me," Zhou Shu said solemnly.

One could never be too careful.

If the demonic beasts discovered this cave, they would have to kill them. This place couldn't be exposed yet.

Seeing Zhou Shu's serious expression, Mi Ziwen didn't say anything more. "Second Brother, come with me."

The exit Wang Xin had discovered was very far from the place where the army was stationed.

Zhou Shu followed Mi Ziwen around. After walking for dozens of kilometers, he saw light ahead.

Rustle!

The two of them ducked through a bush and then felt their vision brighten. They had actually emerged from a mountain wall.

The bushes on the mountain wall covered the hole.

If they passed by outside, they would definitely not be able to easily discover this cave entrance.

Actually, even if someone discovered it, no one would care under normal circumstances. After all, there were countless caves in the mountains. Who would pay attention to this one?

"Wang Xin!"

As soon as they came out, Zhou Shu looked around and saw Wang Xin squatting on the ground nearby.

Zhou Shu arrived beside Wang Xin in a flash and saw a young girl lying on the ground.

The girl's eyes were tightly shut, and her long eyelashes were still quivering. A pained expression kept flashing across her face.

"What happened?" Zhou Shu subconsciously looked around and spread out his divine sense.

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. There were no signs of demonic beasts around. This area looked like a barren mountain, and there were not many signs of demonic beast activity. It looked like they were in luck.

"I don't know why there's someone here either," Wang Xin said. "She was here when I came out. It looks like she was injured—"

"Are you sure she's a human?" Zhou Shu said angrily. "Haven't you seen a humanoid demonic beast before?"

"But I think she really does seem like a human," Wang Xin said weakly.

Zhou Shu looked at Wang Xin strangely. Something was wrong with Wang Xin. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to this demonic beast?

Zhou Shu looked down. The demonic beast lying on the ground, or rather, the humanoid demonic beast, had a slender and graceful figure. Even as she lay there, Zhou Shu could tell that she had an excellent figure.

Her palm-sized face and skin were so fair that even with her eyes closed, she was extremely beautiful.

Using a phrase from Zhou Shu's previous life to describe her, she was an extremely beautiful big-breasted loli!

Could she be Wang Xin's type? Zhou Shu complained in his heart.

"Whether she's a human or not, let's kill her." Zhou Shu's eyes flashed coldly.

"No!" Two voices spoke at once.

It was Wang Xin and Mi Ziwen who stopped him at the same time.

Zhou Shu looked at the two of them in confusion. Forget about Wang Xin. Could it be that his big brother liked this type too?

But that wasn't right. Wang Xin didn't get close to women in the past, but his big brother used to visit the brothel often. He didn't seem like someone who would be so affected by a beauty.

This was the Demon Realm. No matter how beautiful she was, she was still a demonic beast. It was always right to kill her.

"Why?" Zhou Shu looked at the two of them. "Even if she's good-looking, she's a demonic beast. Do I need to tell you how dangerous demonic beasts are?"
