Chapter 101: Hope Failed

"Oh?" Ling Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face: "Mr. Ye, if you have any requests, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to help!"

For this kind of top powerhouse, you are not afraid of making demands, but you are afraid of not having any demands. The Ling family's ability to stand for a hundred years depends not only on one door, but also on recruiting talents from all over the world.

There is a saying in the training world of Cathay that half of the world's masters are in the Yuan Xiu Society, 30% are in the Ling family, and the remaining 20% ​​are casual cultivators from various walks of life.

This statement is somewhat exaggerated, but it is enough to prove the status of the Ling family in Cathay.

“I heard that the Ling family has a treasure called the Divine Machine Furnace...” As he said that, Luo Jun picked up the Shenjiang Stone Hammer and said, “I happen to want to make a treasure, and I hope to borrow it for use.”

“Shenji furnace?” Ling Yi looked at the hammer in Luo Jun’s hand: “Isn’t that... Shen Jiangshi?”

Luo Jun nodded: "This thing is good in everything, but it's too heavy. I want to forge it into a precious phantom to make it easier to carry."

"Oh..." Ling Yi said with a look of realization: "Could this be given to you by Ling Kai, right? A man in his forties with a beard?"

Luo Jun frowned slightly. They were all members of the Ling family and it was not surprising that they knew each other. But when Ling Yi mentioned Ling Kai, it sounded like he was describing a liar.

Seeing Luo Jun's acquiescence, Ling Yi continued: "Did he set up a stall on the street for people to challenge, and also told you that as long as you join the Ling family, you will have the opportunity to use the divine furnace?"

Luo Jun could only nod...

"Mr. Ye, you are new to the wilderness, and you don't know much about the guild and many things about the Ling family." Ling Yi shook his head and explained: "Although the Ling family has many children, as long as they have some ability, they all serve in the guild. Why? Will you set up a stall outside?”

"Ling Kai, how should I put it, has good talent, but he is a bit unlearned and likes to play tricks. He is not recognized in the clan, but he is very ambitious. He always wants to make some great achievements and win the respect of the elders of the clan. appreciation…"

"Recently, the Ling family has added a new clan army and is looking for talents. After he heard about it, he came up with such a strange trick, using weapon blanks made from Chenjiang stone to set up a stall on the street... The guild caught him several times "But I haven't seen any movement from him this month. I thought he gave up on this method. Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Ye who won the challenge and took away the hammer."

Luo Jun understood, this Ling Kai is what is commonly known as "the scum of the clan"...

“So, the divine furnace he promised is fake?”

"No, the Divine Machine Stove is real." Ling Yi shook his head and smiled: "As the Ling family's treasure, this is not a secret. However, the Divine Machine Stove can only be opened three times a year, and they are all owned by the clan. Elites can only be used based on their merit ranking, and they must get the permission of the clan leader. This is not something I can decide..."

“Of course I can help you apply, but the Ling family members themselves can’t arrange it, so it’s probably unlikely that outsiders will be able to use it…”

The idea failed, Luo Jun was a little disappointed.

“Even if the Divine Machine Furnace doesn’t work, the Ling family still has an elite team of weapon refiners. I can also ask a master to help me build it.”

"This is easier to handle." Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "But personally, I don't recommend that you use this opportunity for this hammer..."

"Why?" Luo Jun was puzzled. In his opinion, this hammer was strong and could adjust its weight. Except that it couldn't be stored in the treasure box, it was a perfect weapon. Ling Yi explained: "You must also know that Shenjiang Stone is taken from the head of the seventh-level monster Chishui Jiejiang Dragon. The guild has hunted more than one ordinary Jiejiang Dragon, and it has also obtained many Shenjiang Stones. In addition to its ability to Except for adjusting the weight, there is nothing special about it. The texture is loose and brittle, so it is basically of no use. ”

“Not long ago, the clan team led by Ling Yao successfully hunted a particularly huge Jiejiang Dragon. According to Ling Yao’s description, its strength has reached level eight, and it is a dragon king!”

"And the Dragon King's Shenjiang Stone is extremely hard and difficult to damage even with powerful treasures. Ling Yao transported it back to Lingyun City. The guild thought it was a rare and good material for making magical weapons, so they started working on it. Processing.”

“In the end, after the efforts of many craftsmen in the manufacturing office and a lot of manpower and material resources, two weapon blanks were finally made according to the shape of this sinking stone, one long sword and one this hammer.”

“Ling Yao used his family’s meritorious deeds to exchange for the right to use the Divine Machine Furnace, and filled in a large amount of precious materials, and finally succeeded in forging the long sword into a legendary treasure.”

"Isn't this just right?" Lu Kui also heard this story. He had failed to challenge the Shenjiang Stone Hammer and was very interested in this thing. He even stopped chewing the chicken legs.

"But the characteristics of this treasure are a bit weird..." Ling Yi shook his head: "Originally, the long sword weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and it took about three hundred breaths of vitality to purify its weight. But who would have thought that this casting After becoming a Noble Phantasm, this thing has not improved much, but its weight has increased greatly! It has increased from more than one thousand kilograms to three tons, which is an increase of five or six times. To reduce the weight, it will take one thousand and six times! Seven hundred breaths of vitality!”

"So exaggerated?" At this time, Father Qin and Xuanyuan Wuji also showed surprised expressions. Luo Jun made a rough calculation in his mind. In this way, if the hammer is successfully forged, it must weigh less than 20,000 kilograms. If he wants to dissolve all the weight , it takes at least five or six thousand breaths of vitality, and the golden cudgel is not that heavy!

“Is there something wrong with the forging method?” Luo Jun asked.

“Later, the weapon refiners also studied it and found that adjusting the weight is the basic feature of this thing. It is useless no matter how you forge it, it can only get heavier and heavier..."

Ling Yi sighed: "What's even more troublesome is that it seems that because of a special structure, the Dragon King Shenjiang Stone needs a certain volume to maintain high strength. Those small scraps during the processing will become as heavy as ordinary ones." The long sword is as loose and fragile as Jiang Shi. This long sword is close to the minimum weight that can maintain its strength, so it is impossible to process this hammer into a compact dagger and arrow..."

"Haha, isn't this just a piece of trash..." Xuanyuan Wuji complained: "This kind of bulky thing is not suitable as a weapon for this genius!"

"It doesn't sound good to say waste, but it's not wrong... After all, if it is a precious treasure, it won't be taken away by Ling Kai..." Ling Yi sighed and looked at the hammer in Luo Jun's hand: "So Mr. Ye, I I advise you to give up. Although this thing is indestructible, no one can use it as long as it is a Noble Phantasm."

"Even Ling Yao's sword, apart from being hard, doesn't have any strong special effects. If you want to use it in your hand, it has to occupy nearly two thousand breaths of vitality at any time, which affects the release of skills. In comparison, there are There are too many better weapons to choose from. This thing is really useless..."

Luo Jun lowered his head and looked at the hammer in his hand, feeling a little mixed...

It seems that this thing can only be used in the wilderness...

At least for the time being...

Additional update today on New Year’s Eve, there will be more to come, don’t go away!
