Bi Mo Zhi Jian

Chapter 96 Injected with the Soul of the Black Blade

With the illusory spirit in front, Fang You found the other nine items or apostles uninteresting.

He inspected them one by one.

"Skill Cultivation Card (Blue)"

"Mental Secret Medicine (Green)"

"Mental Secret Medicine (Green)"

"Mental Secret Medicine (Green)"

Mental secret medicine, similar to physical and energy secret medicine, was a good thing.

His physique could at least be improved through basic skills, but his spirit couldn't. Skill breakthroughs only increased it slightly. He had been waiting for this mental secret medicine for a long time.

Finally, you are here.

Fang You kept one bottle for himself. The remaining two, he didn't specify this time and directly put them on the organization's exchange list, waiting for apostles to redeem them.

However, he made some adjustments.

For those like An Jian You who needed more mental power, the 'Mental Secret Medicine' was placed in a prominent position on the list, while for the tough guys like Hei Dao and Xing Jing Lei who didn't need it as much, the 'Mental Secret Medicine' was hidden in a corner.

Different apostles had different tasks, and the exchange lists were slightly different, which was quite reasonable, wasn't it?

He continued to browse the draw records.

"Soul of Hei Dao (Purple)"

"Special Apostle 'Wang Chui' (Blue)"

"Standard Weapon Mold (Blue)"

"Reality Apostle Draw Scroll (Purple)"

"Advanced Guǐ Weapon Draw Scroll (Purple)"

"...Soul of Hei Dao?"

Fang You's gaze fell, and he murmured softly.

***

Xin Huo Base, Sub-level 1, Training Hall No. 1.

Hei Dao held two swords in his hands.

One was a beginner's combat sword, and the other was the Xie Xie Great Saber.

Beside him was the newly arrived apostle 'Wang Chui,' a bare-chested man with a shiny bald head like a glazed egg.

"You mean, increase the weight of this combat sword, or forge a great saber similar to Xie Xie?"

Hei Dao nodded.

Wang Chui laughed heartily, "What's so difficult about that? You think too little of old Wang."

"If you want to forge a Guǐ weapon like Xie Xie Great Saber, that is indeed very difficult. The birth of any Guǐ weapon requires the Guǐ object as the main material, and then it is tailor-made according to this material to enhance the effects of the Guǐ object and reduce side effects."

"But if it's just to forge a great saber that looks similar and has similar weight for training, this thing can be done with just hands."

"Uh, but besides hands, materials are also needed."

Wang Chui rubbed his hands.

Hei Dao said that materials were not his concern, so he picked up the beginner's combat sword and continued training.

Wang Chui: "..."

Can't you chat with me for a while longer? At the very least, tell me where to get the materials! Waking up with nothing to bang around in my hands just feels wrong.

He turned his head, and the door of the training hall in the distance opened, and a figure walked in.

Wearing a white robe and a smiling face.

As if the center of light.

Wang Chui blurted out, "Mentor."

"Master Wang Chui."

Before coming, Fang You had checked Wang Chui's stats. He was a much-needed talent for Xin Huo, a top talent.

He was a dual-awakened like Yin Ling, but it was the same. Whether he was strong or not was not important. Fang You valued his skills and his profession.

Wang Chui had three skills.

Basic Hammer Technique (Proficient), Guǐ and Evil Tracking (Skilled), Refined Hammer Technique (Skilled).

And an awakened ability: Material Fusion.

He was naturally suited for blacksmithing!

Of course, it wasn't just skills. Hei Dao had rich combat experience and techniques, and he also knew how to formulate detailed training plans.

Yin Ling not only had healing skills but also possessed knowledge and techniques such as potion making and wound cleansing.

As a special apostle, Wang Chui was probably similar.

Fang You chatted with him and inquired about weapon manufacturing.

"To forge weapons, in addition to ordinary steel and alloy materials, to make a weapon capable of carrying life energy and capable of harming Guǐ and evil, the most important thing is to have mysterious materials and Guǐ crystals."

"A common standard weapon requires at least one mysterious material and one Guǐ crystal. If there are any special requirements for size and usage, the cost will have to increase."

Fang You immediately asked Master Wang Chui to demonstrate.

He had plenty of Guǐ crystals.

He also had mysterious materials, having obtained some when he killed three-star Guǐ and evil beings before.

Metal materials? He had plans to research weapons before, so he had prepared some.

He took out a piece of blade material and found a facility in the training hall to act as a forging table. Wang Chui immediately began to demonstrate.

"Mentor, watch carefully. When it comes to blacksmithing, I, old Wang, am this good."

He gave a thumbs up, then picked up his beginner's combat hammer and began to pound on the pile of materials and steel in front of him.

At first, it was normal hammering, but soon Wang Chui's speed became faster and faster, his arms turning into a blur.

What hand speed was this!

Right before Fang You's eyes, the pile of materials gradually merged and deformed, slowly taking the shape of a combat saber.

The entire process took only a few minutes, and a combat saber that was still slightly warm was forged.

This was not scientific.

But it was mysterious.

"It's not difficult to make this kind of ordinary standard weapon, but more advanced ones..." Master Wang Chui shook his head, "I always feel like I can do it, but I can't recall the specific manufacturing method, and that kind of human forging takes a lot of time, perhaps ten days or half a month to make one."

"Unless there are legendary molds."

"If there were such molds, with simple forging, the best weapons and equipment could be born. However, I, old Wang, have only heard of such things, and I don't even know what they look like..."

Wang Chui suddenly paused as he spoke.

Looking at an object that appeared out of thin air, resembling a black box.

A set of molds for five types of standard weapons – swords, sabers, spears, shields, and daggers – were laid out in order.

Wang Chui's eyes widened, his gaze gradually becoming fervent. He couldn't help but pounce forward and gently caress them.

After a long while, he was still touching them.

Fang You had to clear his throat and say, "From now on, you will be responsible for manufacturing weapons and equipment for Xin Huo."

***

Before Wang Chui left, he spent a little time tailoring a training great saber for Hei Dao.

It was the same size as the Xie Xie Great Saber and heavy enough.

This way, the training effect would not be reduced due to the saber being too light.

At this moment,

Hei Dao's gaze kept flicking towards this training great saber, as if he wanted to pick it up and train, but he was restrained by Fang You's presence.

Rest was out of the question. If too much time was wasted, today's training would not be completed.

"Mentor..."

"You need to understand work-life balance. Xin Huo still has many newcomers who need your guidance. Of course, I'm looking for you today because..."

As he spoke, Fang You raised his hand, and a faint purple light appeared in his palm.

As soon as it appeared, it was like a magnet attracting Hei Dao, and this purple light floated towards him.

Hei Dao's eyes widened.

As if struck by enlightenment, his whole being was sublimated, and a faint purple light emanated from him.

At the same time,

The game's prompt sound was transmitted to Fang You's mind by the看板娘 (Kanzaki-musume) illusory spirit.

"Ding!"

"Notification: Special Apostle · Hei Dao absorbed 'Soul of Hei Dao,' his potential has been replenished, Hei Dao's potential has been elevated to purple grade, gaining the unique talent 'Instructor,' and learning Basic Fists, Basic Swordsmanship, Basic Spear Techniques, Basic Archery, Basic Shield Techniques..."

"Instructor"

"Description: The holder of this talent can increase the training speed of those being trained when training others, including physique, skill proficiency, combat techniques, etc. At the same time, depending on the content of the training project and the number of trainees, the instructor himself can benefit and improve corresponding abilities."
