Zhao Kangping was not familiar with her before, and her politeness made him feel a little awkward.
Nangong Ruyun also said, "Ping'er, I think you should pick something else."
"Yes, yes." Several elders echoed in unison.
It can be seen that everyone is very willing to thank him.
No man in the history of the Xianyun Sect had ever entered their sect's treasury; this man was the first to receive this honor. I wouldn't say there wouldn't be another like him, but it was definitely unprecedented.
However, Zhao Kangping felt that the Xianyun Sect was not wealthy at the moment, and it would be a bit embarrassing to ask for more now. People's courtesy was out of kindness, but it would be wrong for him to take this kindness for granted.
"So is there anyone in your sect who can forge weapons? I want to make a spear." Zhao Kangping expressed his idea.
Several beauties looked at each other, all with embarrassed expressions.
Nangong Ruyun said: "This is a bit difficult for us. No one in our sect knows how to forge weapons."
"But I have good friends outside the sect who might be able to introduce you."
Chapter 426: Pixiu Ghost
The person Aunt Yun was going to introduce to Zhao Kangping was a widow from the Weng family, a family of famous craftsmen.
The Weng family is actually also a family of immortal cultivators, but they are famous for casting weapons.
Unfortunately, the Weng family began to decline after the previous head of the family died unexpectedly.
Currently, the Weng family is headed by the former head's widow, Mrs. Wang, until the former head's children come of age.
The previous head of the family had a son and a daughter. The daughter was older and was currently thirteen years old, while the son was only six years old.
Zhao Kangping had never met the former patriarch's wife, but he learned from Aunt Yun that she was also a disciple of the Xianyun Sect in her early years.
But later she fell in love with the young master of the Weng family at that time. For the sake of love, she resolutely withdrew from the Xianyun Sect and married someone else.
However, about five years ago, her husband was ambushed by his enemies while he was out on a trip, and was killed because he was outnumbered.
Later, the Weng family paid a huge price to kill their enemy and avenge their hatred, but the family fell into decline.
In fact, when she avenged her husband, she also had the help of several fellow sisters from Xianyun Sect, so Mrs. Wang still cherishes some of the old friendship.
So when Nangong Ruyun came to ask the Weng family to open the furnace to forge weapons, she agreed without thinking.
Today, the Weng family is not as strong as before, but they are still very united, and there has been no incident of side branches bullying the orphans and widows of the main family.
The main reason was that Mrs. Wang managed the Weng family in an orderly manner and gave birth to a child for the previous head of the family. She was also kind and impeccable in her interactions with others. Therefore, the Weng family highly recognized her.
It was not Mrs. Wang who forged the spear for Zhao Kangping. This lady did not know how to forge weapons. The person who actually forged the weapons was an elder of the Weng family.
He was a physical cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Although his hair was gray, he was a strong, muscular old man.
Everyone called him Mr. Yan and respected him very much.
"This is a blueprint, Master, please take a look." Zhao Kangping handed the blueprint he had drawn to the old man.
He was not drawing the Spear of Longinus, as some of the designs of that spear were too inhumane, for example, the double-helix tip was simply against common sense.
If it is really built that way, the spiral part will be very fragile and no precious materials can save it.
The Book of Heaven can materialize imagination into real objects, and imagination is illogical. As long as it is not too outrageous, it can be conjured up for you.
But in reality, you can't cast a spear as you please. You still have to consider practicality and the craftsman's craftsmanship.
He had inquired and learned that this old man Yan had forged weapons for many monks, and it usually cost a huge price to ask him to do something.
But as soon as Mrs. Wang asked, he agreed to build it for Zhao Kangping for free, but on the condition that Zhao Kangping provided the materials himself.
This is easy. Zhao Kangping has collected a large amount of materials in the volcanic area in the scabbard space. It is not only enough for this use, but also can be used to create other weapons in the future.
When Mr. Yan unfolded the blueprint, he was surprised by the shape of the weapon.
He stared with his tiger eyes wide open, shocked. "What a peculiar spear. Not only is the head at the end the spear head, but the spear head and the spear body are connected as one. It must be very heavy."
Generally, only the tip of a spear is made of metal, and the shaft is made of a relatively light special wood. This can reduce the weight of the spear, making it easier to swing and perform a series of difficult movements.
But this gun is not only a double-headed gun, the entire gun is connected into one piece, and no wood is used throughout it, so the weight definitely cannot be reduced.
However, this was still within the acceptable range for Yan Lao. He himself was a physical cultivator with a strong physique and had used heavier weapons before. Therefore, it was not impossible for a cultivator to wield such a spear with ease.
"That's fine. I've brought all the materials. Master Yan, please take a look and see if it's enough. Or do you think we need to add any additional materials?"
As he spoke, he took out the prepared materials.
When seeing him take out these things, Old Yan widened his eyes.
The old man said in disbelief, "Dragon Flame Iron, Phoenix Blood Stone, Purgatory Agate, Earth Fire Ruby...hiss, where did you get all these materials, fellow Daoist?"
The materials provided by Zhao Kangping are extremely rare, their prices have always been high, and many times they are not available even if you have money.
Moreover, these things are not only in large quantity, but also of the highest quality. It is not surprising that if someone is greedy enough, they would kill and rob.
But Mr. Yan was an upright man. Although he was tempted, he did not dare to be greedy.
Zhao Kangping smiled and said calmly, "This is my secret."
Even though the old man was extremely curious, he knew that everyone had their own secrets, so he shouldn't ask too many questions.
He then asked, "Fellow Daoist, Dragon Flame Iron is a relatively hard iron material, but it is generally not used alone. It is usually mixed with other iron materials to enhance the toughness of the finished product."
"I have some tough material here that could be used."
Dragon Flame Iron is indeed hard, but it is too hard and easily breaks. When casting weapons, hardness should not be considered alone. The possibility of bending due to the huge force it may withstand in battle must also be considered. This is when the importance of a weapon's toughness is reflected.
Only materials with strong toughness can allow weapons to return to their original shape after being bent. These materials are even more important than the main material.
Without tough materials, the durability of the weapon will be greatly reduced.
There is indeed no tough material among the materials provided by Zhao Kangping.
"What material is Mr. Yan talking about?"
"It's my special scale-patterned steel. No extra charge."
The so-called scale steel is a type of steel with a scale-like pattern.
However, scale steel is a general term, not a specific type of steel, so its quality varies.
Although it is excessive, Zhao Kangping still wants to use better materials as much as possible.
Old Yan also knew his concerns and generously took out his specially made scale-patterned steel.
The steel is silvery and has circles of scaly patterns on its surface.
Mr. Yan's craftsmanship is indeed top-notch. The scale-patterned steel he makes is of extremely high quality and is considered the best choice.
The Canglan Realm is almost a world similar to ancient China, and its production level is not high.
The steel production here is extremely small, and it is basically hammered out by experienced craftsmen one hammer at a time.
Although there are ways to mass-produce steel, the quality of mass-produced steel cannot be guaranteed to be very high. It is usually prepared for low-level monks.
The truly good steel is custom-made by excellent craftsmen.
But just because it's handcrafted doesn't mean you underestimate the steel in this world. This is a world where one can cultivate immortality, with all sorts of strange materials available, special flames for smelting, and even spiritual power combined with special hammering techniques for casting.
Taking various factors into consideration, although the steel production in the world of cultivation is not particularly large, the quality is very good.
Zhao Kangping then agreed to add his scale-patterned steel, and he also put forward his own request: he planned to use his own Yangyan Fire to smelt these materials.
Doing so not only allows the forged spear to possess the power of Yangyan, but also allows it to be imbued with one's own aura.
Many cultivators add their own essence and blood when refining weapons, hoping to bind the refined magic weapon to themselves.
The magic weapon refined in this way can only be used by the person who made it to its maximum power, and its power will be reduced in the hands of others. Even the refiner can remotely control the magic weapon to use it for his own purposes with just a thought.
One of the reasons why Zhao Kangping used the Yangyan Fire to smelt and forge was to leave his own mark on the spear.
The old man gladly accepted Zhao Kangping's request.
Zhao Kangping came here only with Aunt Yun this time, and did not cause much noise.
He wanted to end the battle quickly as there were still many things to do later.
But in actual operation, a lot of time was wasted.
First of all, the temperature of Zhao Kangping’s Yangyan was too high, and the first forge they used could not withstand the temperature and exploded.
To do this they had to transfer a higher quality furnace from elsewhere.
Fortunately, no other unexpected incidents occurred afterwards.
Around dawn, Zhao Kangping finally finished his spear after working overtime.
This spear is made of black and red, about nine feet long, with a spear tip at each end.
There are threaded grooves on the gun body for easy grip, and there are patterns of flames, auspicious clouds, phoenixes, meteors, etc. near the tip of the gun.
Because the materials used are mostly fire-attributed and smelted with his Yangyan, this spear carries a strong Yangyan power. It has a very strong restraining effect on evil spirits and ghosts.
"It's time to give it a name." Nangong Ruyun smiled as she saw Zhao Kangping couldn't let go of the spear.
Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call him Yang Yan."
Nangong Ruyun: "This is too casual."
Zhao Kangping insisted: "Let's call it this."
When they left the Weng family, they did not return to Xianyun Sect immediately.
Zhao Kangping wanted to test the power of this gun, so he randomly came to a large lake. He just slightly stimulated the Yangyan power in the gun, and a Yangyan fire dragon burst out from the tip of the gun.
The dazzling sun flame roared and rushed out of the lake.
The next moment, the lake water began to boil, vaporizing in one go. In just five breaths, only white steam remained in the lake, transforming it into a vast pit of steaming mist.
He was very happy with it and it was more than enough for him to use.
……
When we returned to Xianyun Sect, it was still dark.
The two of them wanted to go back to the house and have some time to themselves.
As a result, Nangong Ruyun accidentally discovered that there were five faint auras behind a large rock outside the house. It must be that some means were used to conceal the auras.
But Nangong Ruyun was very perceptive and was able to see through them.
"What are you doing here?" Nangong Ruyun's cold voice sounded in their minds.
Suddenly, the five figures rushed out from behind the big rock.
They are naturally the five elders of Xianyun Sect.
They were waiting here originally hoping to catch them doing something ugly and then take the opportunity to ask to join in.
Although they had recorded the two people's voices before, they felt it was not safe enough, which led to this incident.
But unexpectedly, Nangong Ruyun easily discovered them.
At this time, they will definitely not admit their purpose.
"We just happened to pass by. Senior sister, why are you back so late?" Liang Shuya smiled awkwardly.
They had left home in the morning, and logically speaking, they shouldn't have returned so late since they weren't going far away. But they waited for a long time, thinking they would never come back, only to see them slowly returning from a distance.
Nangong Ruyun was not so easy to fool. These women were acting sneaky and didn't dare to look her in the eye. It was obvious that they were guilty.
She suspected that they must have some intentions towards her man.
But she didn't want to quarrel with her sisters over this, so she pretended not to notice and said, "Oh, so, we were out for a walk too and just came back."
But these words had a different interpretation to the women.
Coming back from a walk? I see, you booked a room somewhere else before coming back.
She must have been filled up by him before she came back, no wonder she was so late.
Damn it, he only knows how to eat alone. It's a bit too much to be so disloyal for the sake of beauty.
But they dared not speak out their true feelings.
Xia Zhihe smiled awkwardly and said, "Then Senior Sister, let's go back first."
They had clearly discussed how to blackmail the senior sister into sharing men before coming, but when they really got in front of the senior sister, they were more cowardly than the other.
Liang Shuya also echoed: “Yes, we’ll leave first.”
