From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

Chapter 553 - 553: 552-great Zhao’s shock

Translator: 549690339

The news of the appearance of a celestial being in Yuan sect and the subsequent effects of the phenomenon had not yet been quelled.

Another bombshell of news spread.

The entire great Zhao was shaken.

Qin shujian would be publicly refining Liangshan city into a Dao weapon the next day. Anyone who wanted to observe would have to submit a ninth-tier material.

The moment this news spread.

All the blacksmiths in the great Zhao went crazy.

Refining a Dao artifact!

To a blacksmith, this was an unparalleled honor.

To be able to refine a city into a Dao artifact was even more unheard of.

If it was someone else who spread such news, no one would believe it. Those who heard it would just scoff.

However, Qin shujian was different.

The first man-made Dao artifact of the great Zhao had appeared in his hands.

As one of the top blacksmiths in the human race, Qin shujian had great prestige.

One had to know.

To blacksmiths, Qin shujian’s title as the strongest person in the cultivation world was not as resounding as the other party’s title as a top-tier blacksmith

Grandmaster.

if Qin shujian really refines Liangshan city into a doctrine artifact, “a blacksmith Grandmaster lamented,” then he’ll be worthy of being called the number one blacksmith Grandmaster of the human race!

As soon as he said this.

It instantly swept in all directions.

The number one blacksmith of the human race was a great honor.

For any title, as long as it was crowned with the first two words, it would have a huge convincing power.

He was the most powerful man in the cultivation world!

The number one blacksmith of the human race!

If two titles were superimposed on one person, it would be enough to shock anyone.

When the news spread.

All the families and sects of blacksmiths, as well as those independent blacksmiths, could not wait to rush to Liangshan city.

Ninth-grade materials were precious.

But as long as one had some strength, wanting to obtain a ninth-tier material was not difficult.

After all, materials were just materials.

In this world, blacksmiths who could use ninth-grade materials were as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin horns.

Because only a forging Grandmaster could truly use ninth tier materials to forge.

However, there were only a few smithing grandmasters in the world.

Among them.

Qin shujian could be considered the most famous one.

He had no choice.

The other Grandmaster blacksmiths did not do anything all year round. They were very noble. They were not like Qin shujian, who would refine something every few days and cause the sky to rumble with Thunder.

The Grandmaster blacksmiths of other sects all valued the face of their cards.

Qin shujian didn’t care at all.

&Nbsp; but no matter what.

The news of the construction of Liangshan city had shaken the entire great Zhao.

Whether it was the weaker blacksmiths or the master blacksmiths, they could not sit still and rushed to Liangshan city.

There were also some blacksmiths who did not have much power, so they could only sigh.

It was simple.

He couldn’t take out the ninth-tier materials.

Without money, there was no need to talk about anything.

Nine Palace sect.

After receiving the news, a well-developed and beautiful woman in Palace clothes immediately changed her expression and went to the sect master’s Hall.

“Elder Ling, why are you free to come over today?”

Qin yuanbai looked at the person who had arrived with a faint smile on his face.

“You should be very clear about the purpose of my visit, sect master!”

“Elder Ling, are you planning to go to Liangshan city?”

“I didn’t expect that elder Ling would make an exception for not leaving the nine Palace sect for so many years.” Qin yuanbai nodded.

He still had a lot of respect for Ling Huaiyu.

This was because he was the only Grandmaster blacksmith in the nine Palace sect.

That’s right.

In the cultivation world, there were only a few forging grandmasters and one of them was in the nine Palace sect.

It was also because of Ling Huaiyu’s existence that the nine Palace sect’s strength could be considered as one of the best among all the top sects.

Although Qin yuanbai was the sect master, he would not show Ling Huaiyu any attitude.

To a certain extent.

The status of a Grandmaster blacksmith was not much lower than that of a Deva.

It was just that connate spirit items were hard to come by now, which meant that smithing grandmasters did not have the opportunity to forge Dao artifacts. Otherwise, their status as smithing grandmasters would at least be elevated to a higher level.

But even so …

The status of a Grandmaster blacksmith was also extraordinary.

If a sect could have a forging Grandmaster, it meant that there was no need to worry about spirit weapons. It was enough to enhance the overall strength of the sect to a great extent.

I didn’t have the chance to observe the Dao weapon that Qin shujian refined the last time, ” Ling Huaiyu said. I can’t miss this opportunity.

“That’s good too. Elder Ling might be able to gain something if he goes over.” Qin yuanbai nodded and said.

“However, elder Ling’s identity is still very important. I might as well go with you.”

“The sect master is going too?”

Ling Huaiyu was surprised.

Qin yuanbai had been in charge of the nine Palace sect for many years. She had not expected him to leave at this time.

Upon hearing this.

I’m worried about elder Ling leaving alone, ” Qin yuanbai said. it just so happens that I want to see if the sect master of sky origin sect is really worthy of the title of the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world.

Ling Huaiyu understood.

He was the nine Palace sect’s master blacksmith and the other party was worried that he would be ambushed.

However, the real reason was …

He was probably heading toward Qin shujian.

Qin yuanbai had also mentioned the Grandmaster of sky origin sect several times.

One had to know.

There weren’t many people that Qin yuanbai could talk about. Since Qin shujian was being talked about, it was obvious that he had taken it to heart.

In this regard.

Ling Huaiyu no longer refused.

Very quickly.

The news that Ling Huaiyu was heading to Liangshan city spread like wildfire.

The news of Qin shujian refining a Dao weapon had already caused a huge commotion.

At this moment, a Grandmaster blacksmith had personally gone over to observe. This was already indirectly helping Qin shujian build up his reputation.

For a moment.

The other blacksmiths were even more frantic.

The endless Mountains.

cast a city!? When su Zhan received the news, he almost thought that he had misheard.

At this moment, he also found out that Qin shujian had returned to the GUI Yuan sect.

However, before su Zhan could send someone to look for Qin shujian, a bombshell of news came and smashed him into a daze.

Cast a city!

A city that could be used to forge a Dao artifact!

A Dao artifact and a city!

When these two words were put together, even su Zhan could not remain calm. that kid is so arrogant! He’s confident that he can build a city at the Dao artifact level! Su Zhan didn’t dare to believe it, and he didn’t want to believe it. Right now, he was still vexed over the matter of forging the city into a spirit weapon.

In the end, someone told him.

Don’t Forge Spirit artifacts anymore, I’m already forging Dao artifacts.

One could imagine.

How big of a blow was this to su Zhan?

Fang Yilan was also confused. She said, “”Let’s go, we’ll go take a look as well. If he really succeeds, we’ll ask him to help. If he fails, we can also ask him to come.

As for the contest in my heart, let’s forget it!”

VV CU11tebL’.

In Fang Yilan’s opinion, su Zhan no longer had the need to fight with Qin shujian.

From the moment the other party dared to openly construct a Dao artifact city, su Zhan had already lost regardless of whether he succeeded or not.

It was because of what Qin shujian had dared to do.

Su Zhan didn’t dare.

Su Zhan had already lost in terms of morale.

As for the forging method …

Fang Yilan knew very well that Qin shujian was no weaker than su Zhan.

From the moment Qin shujian was able to forge a doctrine artifact, he was already qualified to be called the top master of forging in the great Zhao.

Even if it was a battle.

He had never refined a Dao artifact before.

Of course, from su Zhan’s point of view, the reason why he had not been able to refine a Dao artifact was because he did not have an innate embryo.

In this regard.

Fang Yilan scoffed.

What did he mean by ‘no Xiantian embryos’? as the head of the Imperial astronomer, it would not be too difficult for him to obtain Xiantian embryos.

To put it bluntly.

It was su Zhan who didn’t have the confidence to refine it and was worried that it would fail, so he kept finding this excuse.

After hearing Fang Yilan’s words …

Su Zhan also fell silent, and for the first time, he did not refute the other party.

Should I go and see?

He only had one answer in his heart-go.

This was because the method of building a Dao weapon city was enough to shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry.

Su Zhan was very clear.

Even if he was given a Xiantian embryo, he would not be confident of success. No.

It shouldn’t be said that he wasn’t confident of success, but rather that he wasn’t confident of trying.

Because from the beginning to the end.

Su Zhan didn’t even have ten percent confidence.

In this regard.

Su Zhan also couldn’t help but sigh. great waves have washed away the sand. A new generation has replaced the old. Perhaps I’m really old! As he said this, his aura also became a little dispirited.

But very quickly.

Su Zhan recovered once again.

It was still too early to admit defeat. He had to at least watch it carefully.

Fang Yilan shot him a glance and said disdainfully, ” the path of forging is, after all, a small path. Cultivators should focus on their own cultivation. Think about how many years you’ve been at the seventh level of celestial realm. If you continue to waste time like this, I don’t think you have any chance.

don’t chide me, old witch. You’re no better than me. Tsk, you can’t even defeat that mixed-feathered bird, Eagle Saint. You’ve really thrown the face of the Imperial astronomer into the great Zhao.

“You want to fight with this old woman?”

Fang Yilan’s expression was frighteningly grim.

When hitting someone, don’t hit their face. When scolding someone, don’t expose their shortcomings.

The battle at the Imperial City, where she was not Eagle saint’s match, was the pain of her life.

It was a pity that Eagle Saint had already been killed by the human Sovereign realm, and she had no way of taking revenge.

Su Zhan’s suggestion at this time was equivalent to a public slap in her face.

“This old man won’t stoop to your level,” su Zhan chuckled.

What a joke.

Why would he fight Fang Yilan?

Although he was mocking her, su Zhan knew that he was no match for Fang Yilan in terms of true strength.

Not only was the other party a powerful cultivator, he was also a second realm

Grandmaster.

Array Dao was a heterodox Dao, but it could increase a cultivator’s battle power, which was completely different from forging Dao.

In terms of strength.

Fang Yilan was also one of the best in the Imperial Observatory.

Even though Fang Yilan was no match for Eagle Saint, he was one of the twelve demonic sages of the demonic clan. He had been famous for many years. To be honest, Fang Yilan was at least twice as old as Eagle Saint.

&Nbsp; so,

Su Zhan would not ask for a snub by fighting Fang Yilan.

Then, he cursed again, ” one ninth-tier material for every observation? why doesn’t this kid go and Rob!

Although he was cursing, su Zhan was thinking about why he had never thought of such a thing before.

If he had learned this in the past, he wouldn’t have been so poor.

Regret!

However, su Zhan had also learned something.

In the future, when he refined spirit weapons, he would do it publicly and collect a fee to observe.

There were still many people who wanted to observe a spirit tool personally refined by a forging Grandmaster. Even if they couldn’t collect the sect fee for ninth tier materials, it wouldn’t be a big problem to collect sixth or seventh tier materials.

Half a day passed.

The great Zhao was shaken.

The teleportation gate of Liangshan city flickered continuously. One by one, cultivators walked out and headed towards Yuan sect.

At that moment, Qin shujian avoided meeting them and asked Zheng Fang to receive the guests.

In the courtyard.

The God slaying saber ‘sat’ on the stone bench and said, “”Are you really confident that you can turn the city into a Dao artifact?”

“About 80%!”

The God slaying saber fell silent.

What was the difference between 80% and 100%?

He knew that Qin shujian’s forging skills were extraordinary, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.

In ancient times.

A Grandmaster who had a success rate of more than 50% in refining a Dao artifact would be an honored guest in front of any race.

Qin shujian’s success rate was 80%.

It was enough for any race to treat him with great respect.

The God slaying saber was not an ignorant ancestral weapon. Forging an ordinary Dao artifact and forging a city Dao artifact were two different concepts.

The former was much easier.

so many years have passed, ” the God slaying saber sighed. I didn’t think I’d have the chance to see someone personally refine a Dao artifact city. “In the ancient times, how many people were able to do this?”

Qin shujian asked.

He was not surprised by the information contained in the God slaying saber’s words.

Cultivation was popular in the ancient times, and many techniques were passed down from that time.

Even though Qin shujian felt that he was very strong in the path of forging, he would be a frog in a well if he were to say that no one could match him.

there are, but not many, ” the God slaying saber said. the Imperial cities of the various major races in the past were actually powerful Dao artifacts. Among them, the human Imperial City was an extremely powerful nine seal Dao artifact.

It’s a pity that it should have been shattered in the Great War. I didn’t participate in the Great War until the end, so I’m not too clear about many things.”

Seeing that there was no hope of winning, the human race arranged for Xia Chao to take him and a portion of the human race to the distant Sea region.

So, what happened in the end?

The God slaying saber wasn’t sure either.

However, the heavenly court was destroyed in the Great War, so how could the

Imperial City, which was a nine-seal Dao weapon, be spared?

Qin shujian was not too surprised. He praised, ” the Imperial City is filled with nine seal Tao weapons. If I have the chance, I really want to see the glorious scene of the ancient times!

the ancient times have passed. If possible, it’s more reliable to recreate the ancient times.

The God slaying saber suddenly replied.

In this regard.

Qin shujian didn’t retort.

His attention was drawn to the Imperial City, a nine seal Dao weapon.

If Liangshan city could also grow into a nine seal Tao weapon, that would be the best.

Qin shujian had already fantasized about the day when he could use Liangshan city to suppress an immortal.

But soon, he stopped thinking about it. “There’s one thing I forgot to ask senior.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Senior, how many tribulations of your ancestral weapon are you at now?”

The God slaying saber thought for a moment and said, ” I should have passed four tribulations. If I were to count carefully, it should be the fourth tribulation ancestral weapon!

“Fourth tribulation ancestral weapon!”

Qin shujian’s eyes lit up.

“How many rounds can a nine seal Tao weapon last in front of you?” he asked.

“A mere nine seal Dao artifact will shatter upon contact!”

The God slaying saber said arrogantly.

Although the nine seal Dao weapon was powerful, it was not worth mentioning in front of him.

A fourth-tribulation ancestral weapon was incomparable to any ancestral weapon below that level. Although a nine-seal Dao weapon could compete with a second-tribulation ancestral weapon, it was nothing in front of a third-tribulation ancestral weapon.

In front of a four-tribulation ancestral weapon, it was of no use.

r Hie’.

After hearing what the God slaying saber said, Qin shujian knew that this treasure of his was much more powerful than he had imagined.

If he remembered correctly.

Marquis North cloud’s ancestral weapon would need at least three rounds to destroy a nine-seal Dao weapon, but it would shatter upon contact with the God slaying saber.

In this way, the gap was obvious.

Qin shujian was certain that the weapon in Marquis North cloud’s hand was a third-tribulation ancestral weapon, while the one in his hand was a fourth-tribulation ancestral weapon.

After understanding the situation.

senior, ” Qin shujian asked again, ” if you’re up against a three-tribulation ancestral weapon, can you shatter it? ”

it’s very difficult. Even though there is a difference between ancestral weapons, because they come from the same source, it’s very difficult to break them. However, suppressing them is not a big problem.

“I, Qin, have learned my lesson.”

Qin shujian nodded and said.

The stronger the God slaying saber was, the more confident he was.

Right now, Qin shujian only knew of four ancestral weapons in the eastern continent. One was the God slaying saber in his hands, the stone spear in Marquis northcloud’s hands, the ancestral weapon used to suppress the demonic abyss in the Imperial City, and the last was the demon race’s SkyDemon Palace.

He thought of the sky monster Palace.

“Senior, have you ever heard of the celestial demon Palace?” Qin shujian asked.

“I’ve heard of it.” The God slaying saber replied before asking, “”What? do you have news of the sky demon Palace?”

“There was one in the past, but it’s gone now. The monster race left the eastern continent with the sky monster Palace. I wonder how many generations of ancestral weapons the sky monster Palace was?

In response to Qin shujian’s question .

The God slaying saber didn’t hide anything and said, “”The sky demon Palace was one of the ancient demon clan’s ancestral weapons. At that time, the sky

demon Palace was weaker tnan me and was only a tnree-tr1Du1at10n ancestral weapon.

The heavenly monster Palace is known for its unparalleled defense. Even a four-tribulation ancestral weapon can’t break it. I’d like to see if it’s really that powerful.”

At the end.

The God slaying saber sneered.

From the other party’s words, Qin shujian also knew that the God slaying saber didn’t seem to get along well with the sky demon Palace.

Then, Qin shujian faintly exchanged a few more topics with the God slaying saber before stopping the conversation.

It wasn’t that he had nothing to say.

It was because someone had come.

“Sect master!” Xu Yuanming stepped into the courtyard and said as he cupped his hands.

“How’s the progress?”

Qin shujian had already kept the God slaying saber in his spiritual sea as he asked calmly.

Xu Yuanming said, ” there are a total of 1312 forces who have exchanged for the spots to observe this time. These forces have also submitted the corresponding materials. Sect master, please check and accept them.

After saying that, he took a step forward and stuffed a storage ring into her hands.

Upon hearing this.

Qin shujian was also extremely shocked.

Over 1,300 forces, converted, it was over 1300 pieces of tier 9 materials.

Even if each piece of ninth-grade material was only enough to make one long sword, with so many materials added together, it was enough for the use of Liangshan city.

Zhang xuan accepted the storage ring.

Qin shujian swept his spiritual will across it, and the master-recognition imprint on it disappeared. It then transformed into Qin shujian’s own master-recognition imprint.

Soon after.

Qin shujian’s spiritual will entered the storage ring and saw that it was filled to the brim with materials.

Ninth tier material!

All of them were ninth-tier materials!

Some ninth-tier materials were not small in size, while some ninth-tier materials were a bit finer.

The grade of materials could be divided from several levels.

One was the size, the other was the strength of the force it could bear, and other factors.

Some ninth-tier materials were a whole, and as long as they were cut apart, they would drop in tier.

However, there were some ninth-tier materials that were still ninth-tier even if they were cut into several pieces. This kind of material was considered top-tier among the ninth-tier materials.

When Qin shujian’s divine will swept over the ring, he had already seen the contents of the storage ring clearly.

So many materials.

It also caused Qin shujian to have other thoughts.

At first, he had only planned to make Liangshan city into one or two Dao artifact seals.

But looking at the current situation.

Qin shujian was confident that he could make Liangshan city even more powerful.

A Dao artifact!

Any powerful Dao artifact was indispensable to cultivators.

Even though Qin shujian had the God slaying saber in his hands, the ancestral weapon could not unleash much of its power because he was still very strong.

On the contrary.

If it was a suitable Dao artifact, it would be very useful.

As for whether a Dao artifact was inferior to an ancestral weapon, that was a matter for after becoming an immortal.

Before becoming an immortal, Dao artifacts were not to be underestimated.

If he could successfully build Liangshan city, it would be of great use in the future if the level was high enough.

He watched as Qin shujian poured all the materials in the storage ring into his own storage ring. Then, he removed the original owner-recognition mark on the storage ring and returned it to Xu Yuanming.

After taking the storage ring, Xu Yuanming said, “”Sect master, there’s one more thing I need you to decide.”

“What is it?”

“Nine Palace sect’s sect head Qin yuanbai and elder Ling Huaiyu would like to see you.”

“Qin yuanbai, Ling Huaiyu?

Qin shujian’s expression was a little strange.

He knew Qin yuanbai, the sect leader of the nine Palace sect, his own family.

As for Ling Huaiyu.

Qin shujian had heard of some of his reputation. He seemed to be a Grandmaster blacksmith.

He was thinking.

What was the purpose of Qin yuanbai and Ling Huaiyu wanting to see him at this time?

He thought about it.

Qin shujian couldn’t figure it out for the time being. He immediately shook his head and said, “”Go back and tell them that I’m in seclusion to prepare to forge a doctrine artifact. I can’t meet anyone.”

“Yes!”

Xu Yuanming nodded and then retreated.

If Qin shujian didn’t want to see her, then so be it.

He was only a Messenger.

After Xu Yuanming left, Qin shujian muttered to himself, “”Why did the nine Palace sect come to see me? if they wanted to observe, they could have just waited until tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have some grudges with the nine Palace sect.

Why don’t we find a chance to have a good chat with sect leader Qin?”

He remembered it clearly.

On Bai Yong’s side, the Scarlet heaven sect and the Yin Yang sect had openly disobeyed his orders.

However, Qin shujian did not pay much attention to them after he gave the order to Yuan Pavilion. This was also because the two sects were not worth his attention.

&Nbsp; so,

Qin shujian wasn’t too sure about the current situation between the two sects.

There were some things that he didn’t remember.

Since he remembered it, he had to find a chance to have a chat.

Soon after.

Qin shujian had also truly shut himself away from all guests and entered a state of cultivation.

It would not be easy to turn Liangshan city into a doctrine artifact.

Even for him, he would need to adjust.
