At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"Thank you, Muyang!"

Lei Xing wiped his eyes, his voice earnest: "Tomorrow I will set off for the Demon Slaying Division in Anshun County to retrieve mission intelligence. After I return, we can discuss the specific plan..."

"You can access the mission information of the Demon Slayer Division?" Mu Yang asked curiously.

He was well aware of the rules of the Demon Slayer Bureau. As a first-class demon-hunting captain, he was not qualified to review such a task involving the Demon Slayers, let alone Lei Xing, an outsider.

"Of course I'm not qualified."

Lei Xing shook his head and explained, "But my daughter, Fu Ya, like her father, also joined the Demon Slaying Division and is now the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall."

"Deputy Director of the Internal Affairs Hall?"

Mu Yang blinked, and the image of Old Liang's weathered face suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was only then that Mu Yang remembered that Lei Xing was not as young as he looked; his real age was well over seventy, even older than Old Liang.

In other words, sixth-level martial artists age slowly, and with the aid of anti-aging techniques, they appear young.

"Yes, she told me all this information in private." Lei Xing nodded.

Theoretically speaking, as the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall, Fu Ya's behavior was already in violation of regulations.

But considering that the missing Fu Yu is her father, and the person she "leaked" was her own mother...

Mu Yang said he did not want to make a judgment.

Right and wrong are issues that the Enforcement Hall needs to consider; he is merely a minor captain in the Demon Slayer Hall.

The Enforcement Hall is also one of the halls within the Demon Slayer Bureau, but it is only established in Demon Slayer Bureau branches at the prefecture level and above.

In the county-level Demon Slaying Division, this function is usually performed by some staff members of the Internal Affairs Hall, who are directly under the management of the Demon Slayer.

"In conclusion, thank you!"

Lei Xing stood up, bowed, and thanked him.

Mu Yang nodded: "By the way, let's go together first thing tomorrow morning, so you don't waste time going back and forth."

The Fenshui Sect is located in the southeast of Anshun County, while the Demon Slaying Division branch of Anshun County is located near the county seat, which is in the more central part of Anshun County.

As for Qingluo Mountain, which is near Anyuan County, it is located in the northwest of Anshun County.

A round trip would take at least ten days.

Why don't we go together and kill that Green Snail Demon as soon as possible?

As for Fu Yu?

They've been missing for two months, and the probability of them being alive is almost zero.

Whether you can find it or not is entirely up to fate.

As for the rewards and compensation for merits, those will be inherited by direct relatives, so there's no need to worry about them being withheld.

After Lei Xing left, Mu Yang turned his attention back to the empty equipment slots.

His original plan was to equip the remaining Dantian Construction Method and Meridian Opening Method.

But right now, he was going to take a look at the things Lei Xing had sent.

He casually put the sleeve pocket on the table into his equipment inventory, and several items immediately came into view.

An antique book with a light blue cover, a huge bamboo scroll half the height of a person, and a pile of minerals that shimmered with a pale blue glow.

Mu Yang first looked at the ancient book.

"Forging magical artifacts?"

Mu Yang was startled when he saw the entry for "Water Condensation Forging Method".

Lei Xing had only said it was a thank-you gift, and then talked about Fu Yu in detail. Mu Yang thought it was a rather special forging method.

Unexpectedly, it was related to a magical artifact.

He had learned something about the magical artifact after his battle with Yu Sheng.

I know this thing is quite powerful.

The cost is even more expensive.

Expensive isn't the key factor; after all, the world has no shortage of wealthy people.

The biggest challenge is that there are very few people who can forge magical artifacts. Even the Demon Slayer Bureau's armory exchange catalog does not have any magical artifact exchange options.

"Since the 'Water Condensation Forging Method' is a forging method for magical artifacts, then this Water Dividing Sword forging diagram should also be a forging diagram for magical artifacts."

Mu Yang immediately looked at the large bamboo slip that had been rolled up.

③ Low-grade forging inscription - Water Dividing (Blue): If you start inscribing the Water Dividing inscription during the forging process of a magic weapon, the inscription speed will be greatly increased. If the magic weapon you are using contains the Water Dividing inscription, the effect of the inscription will be greatly enhanced.

Water-dividing: Can move freely in water.

④ Low-grade forging inscription - Torrent (blue): If you start inscribing the Torrent inscription during the forging process of a magic weapon, the inscription speed will be greatly increased.

..................

Mu Yang glanced at the terms "perfection" and "forging affinity" and then skipped over them.

His main focus was on the last two low-grade forging inscriptions.

According to the introduction in the book "The Water Condensation Forging Method", the so-called forging inscription is the key core that distinguishes magic weapons from ordinary weapons.

This is also the core reason why magical artifacts possess a variety of unique effects.

The grade of the inscription also corresponds one-to-one with the grade of the magic weapon.

From lowest to highest quality, they are: Basic Forging Inscriptions, Low-Grade Forging Inscriptions, Mid-Grade Forging Inscriptions, High-Grade Forging Inscriptions, and Top-Grade Forging Inscriptions.

Among them, basic forging inscriptions are the foundation of all inscriptions, somewhat like the steel and cement used in building construction; even the highest-grade magic weapons cannot do without them.

The quality of a magic weapon depends on the quality of its inscriptions.

The lowest grade of finished magic weapon requires three basic forging inscriptions and one low-grade forging inscription.

This is the weakest of the low-grade magic weapons.

As for the limit of low-grade magic weapon inscriptions, it is nine basic forging inscriptions plus three low-grade forging inscriptions.

For example, the Dividing Water Sword of the Dividing Water Sect, although it is also a low-grade magic weapon, is engraved with six basic forging inscriptions and two low-grade forging inscriptions.

It's already considered a decent low-grade magic weapon.

According to the description of the "Forging Diagram of the Water-Dividing Sword", if he were to use the Water-Dividing Sword himself, its power would seem to increase significantly.

However, the Water-Splitting Sword is only a low-grade magic weapon, and its power limit is limited.

At least, Mu Yang now prefers using his fists to his sword.

Unless he gets his hands on a heavier magic weapon, Mu Yang has no intention of switching to other weapons.
