Chapter 448 Weapons
"Captain Fang, here are the military uniforms and seals assigned to you. Please sign for them."

A middle-aged man in black uniform respectfully handed over a whole set of things on a mahogany tray.

Standing opposite him was Fang Yuan, who became famous in the Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference. He was very different now. After practicing "The True Explanation of Tianhe", his aura became more mellow, and even his facial features had changed a little.

In addition, clothes make the man, and after showing his strength at the martial arts competition, he was indeed investigated by the Six Gates. With Fang Yuan's methods, he naturally made up a perfect origin half-true and half-false.

He is young but has profound cultivation, and he comes from a humble background but has inherited the legacy of his predecessors. This is the most popular character among the Six Gates, so naturally they extended an olive branch to him.

Fang Yuan just went with the flow and today he has officially joined the Six Gates.

Fang Yuan took the wooden tray from the man's hand with a smile on his face. He stroked the silk and the metal seal on the tray with his hands, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

He thought to himself, "They've left me hanging for the past few days. It seems they've already figured out everything about my background. At my level, the investigation won't be too intense. The murders I committed didn't leave any traces. It seems they've initially gained my trust!"

He laughed even more happily, and then pulled out the long sword that had been given to him from its scabbard.

Nice knife!

Seeing that the sword was completely dark black, with a cold light flashing on the blade, and the weight was also very comfortable, Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Is this a Hundred Refined Weapon?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right. You have just joined the service and have been appointed as the head of Fengwen Constable, a seventh-rank officer. According to the regulations, you are a Hundred Refined Soldiers."

Fang Yuan nodded, then asked, "I only have a little martial arts experience in the past, so I don't know much about weapons. Could you explain it to me?"

The middle-aged man was the one in charge of logistics in the Six Gates. Although he didn't know everything about the affairs of the martial arts world, he did have some understanding of it.

What's more, since it was weapons related to his work, he naturally knew everything about them, so he nodded and said.

"Since Captain Fang asked, I'll just say it casually. If I'm wrong, please forgive me."

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Just tell me."

The middle-aged man then spoke, "Our Great Xia has a strong martial arts tradition. There are countless chivalrous warriors coming and going in Jianghu. Of course, there are many with great martial arts skills like Captain Fang, but there are even more who are skilled in various weapons."

"After all, compared to bare hands, holding a sharp weapon naturally has two points of advantage. As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. Therefore, our weapon forging has also developed well, and over time, there are some different levels for differentiation."

Seeing Fang Yuan still looking at him with a smile, the middle-aged man continued.

"Ordinary people's kitchen knives, hoes, etc., with a little tempering, can be considered strong and durable. This is called the first temper. However, the requirements for weapons used by knights are much higher. Otherwise, they will break into several pieces with just a casual hit, making people laugh. Therefore, the most popular swords on the market are generally ten-refined iron weapons. This is also the most common type. Most people use this type of weapon."

"But there's also a saying that goes 'steel is made through a hundred temperings', which means that even ordinary iron can be made into something good after a hundred temperings, and then become a good piece of material. Then, if the craftsman has good skills, he can get a hundred-tempered weapon. It can't be said to be able to cut iron like mud, but it is also extremely sharp. Like the one in your hand, Captain Fang, it was specially made by the Tiangong Workshop of the imperial court. It is called a hundred-tempered weapon, but in fact its quality is much better than the so-called hundred-tempered weapons on the market." "I often hear about the famous weapons in the hands of those masters and predecessors, such as the Hundred Battles Knife, the Sand-Raising Spear, and the Yuying Sword. How do you calculate these?" Fang Yuan asked.

"These are naturally even better than the Hundred Refined Weapons. Generally speaking, they aren't made of ordinary iron, but rather are specially crafted from more precious materials. Only to this degree can they truly be said to be able to cut through hair and slash through iron like mud. Of course, such weapons are also extremely rare and are often only in the hands of renowned warriors. Possessing one of these 'sharp weapons' would greatly increase the strength of even a congenital warrior like Captain Fang."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "After all, with your level of acquired cultivation at the third level, some people who have practiced bodybuilding techniques are not afraid of weapons, but if they encounter sharp weapons, it will be a different story. Anyway, if you work hard in the Six Gates and make some achievements, there are ways to exchange you for a sharp weapon, even one that can be passed down to the family."

Fang Yuan nodded without comment. It was natural that he knew all this, but since he had entered the Six Gates, he had to start from the details. His identity was a wild fox Zen, so it was naturally impossible for him to know all these things. This also deepened his character.

Moreover, he also knew that there was a magic weapon above the sharp weapon. If sharp weapons were generally only in the hands of famous warriors in the martial arts world, then magic weapons must be possessed by innate masters. Even most innate masters did not have them, because magic weapons were too scarce, and sharp weapons basically had no help when they reached the innate level, so most innate masters fought with empty hands.

However, a very small number of innate warriors who possess magical weapons will have a huge advantage!
In Fang Yuan's memory, the only weapons that could be called divine weapons in the entire Yunzhou were the mysterious Taixuan Sword and the mighty spear in Old Man Wang's hand.

Just as Fang Yuan was lost in thought, the middle-aged man said, "It seems that the stick in the hands of the chivalrous monk at the martial arts competition can be considered a sharp weapon."

Fang Yuan laughed and said, "But I have no chance to fight him."

"What a pity, he got involved with the Demon Cult at such a young age. I heard that he was killed by Taoist Feiyun with one claw?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head and said, "Who knows?"

……

But I only saw a point of spirituality in the center of the formation, and two astonishing auras!

Li Ming looked closely and saw a dragon and a phoenix entwined. As if they had sensed Li Ming's gaze, the dragon and the phoenix suddenly turned their heads to look at Li Ming, and then the two spirit beasts roared together.

The dragon and phoenix danced and sang in harmony, bringing with it a sense of the vicissitudes of time, and then suddenly rushed into Li Ming's eyes.

The next moment, they both disappeared, but Li Ming felt as if something was different.

Looking at it now, there is no dragon or phoenix, just two organ embryos that are completely black, but seem to emit a black light, which is very eye-catching in this environment.

Li Ming's heart moved, and he searched for the Taoist artifact left by the ancestors of Miaokun Temple.

He soon discovered that under the two embryos, there was a fist-sized seal that seemed to be carved from white jade. Knowing that it was this thing, he hurriedly stepped forward, but did not dare to reach out to take it. He just released a gust of energy to roll it up.

Unexpectedly, this volume caused a sudden change!
