Sword Master Online Chapter 19: : Blood River Sword
Wufu Mountain is an inconspicuous hillside in Yue State, which is no more than a hundred feet high. There are dense woods all around. There are no people around a hundred miles, and it can be considered a barren land.
On this day, an uninvited guest appeared in a forest only twenty miles away from Wufu Mountain. This is a boy about fourteen or five years old, with an ordinary face, a green shirt, and a group of monkeys behind him, and he looks very cute.
"This forest is not too far away from Wufu Mountain. It happens to be here to plant my spring flowers and autumn moon formations." The boy whispered to himself.
As soon as the voice of fell, a group of little monkeys behind them took out various array flags, array plates and other things from their backpacks and scattered them in the forest.
This young man is exactly Lu Yu who has been practicing in the mixing room for nearly two years. In the past two years, Lu Yu has changed a lot. His height is a head taller than before, and his complexion is a little red because he is often in the mixing room. As for the realm, with the help of a large number of Guiyuan Pills, Lu Yu had reached the late stage of the seventh-layer swordsman half a year ago. However, what made Lu Yu a little depressed was that because of his fast promotion, his foundation was unstable, and he was now stuck in the late stage of the seventh level of the swordsman.
After failing to hit the eighth floor many times, Lu Yu refined a large number of weapons in the remaining six months. After the trip to Wufu Mountain, he planned to go to the Fang Market of the Ghost Domain Gate to sell it in exchange for some Guiyuan Pill and Soul Stone.
"Lu Xiaozi, isn't he a tenth-tier refiner? You are so careful, and you have to set up a formation." Xia Lao showed his figure beside Lu Yu, looked around, and said sarcastically.
"It's always right to be careful. Moreover, the shopkeeper is also a little weird this week, he can get the materials for refining first-rank Saint-rank weapons." Lu Yu said cautiously.
"It's just a first-grade holy rank. The old man can do a lot of it at his fingertips." Old Xia still said indifferently.
"Old Xia, if you were the main body, you would really do it casually. However, you are now. Hey..." Lu Yu attacked without hesitation. Lu Yu and Xia Lao have been together for a long time, and they also understand Xia Lao's temper. The two often ridicule each other, and don't care that each other is the remnant of a super expert. Hearing from Old Xia, his current habits are almost completely opposite to his previous ontology. I don't know if there was an accident when splitting the remnant soul, and the current old Xia was born.
"Hmph, if I am the main body. You have no chance to be my apprentice. Your apprentice is not filial, dare to ridicule the teacher." Old Xia snorted.
When the two were talking, the monkeys had already arranged Lu Yu's magic circle. Lu Yu held the main flag in his hand, muttered a word, then waved the flag. In an instant, the magic circle in this forest disappeared. Lu Yu clicked with satisfaction, and said to Old Xia: "Let's go, too, and go to the shopkeeper Zhou for a while."
Old Xia nodded and disappeared into the void. Lu Yu released a scarlet sword and flew towards Wufu Mountain.
According to the map given by treasurer Zhou, Lu Yu quickly found treasurer Zhou’s cave. Shopkeeper Zhou's cave is located on the mountainside, and there are some simple magic circles at the entrance of the cave. Lu Yu stood at the entrance of the cave, grabbed a small silver sword in his hand, and then said a few words to the little sword, and then the little sword flew towards the entrance of the cave, and disappeared after a while.
After a while, the stone gate of the cave opened, and a thin figure flew out of the cave.
"Little brother, I finally saw your true face this time. It turned out to be a young hero." The treasurer Zhou laughed.
"Boss Zhou is polite, my younger brother just came by appointment." Lu Yu said lightly.
"Come, come, talk to the cave." Shopkeeper Zhou didn't care about Lu Yu's indifference, and enthusiastically pulled Lu Yu's hand into the cave.
The space of this cave is not very large. There are five or six stone chambers. The middle one is the hall, and there are some tables and chairs in the hall.
After the two people were seated, the shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, you are really a trustworthy person. Zhou is here to thank you for your help."
" Shopkeeper Zhou should stop talking politely. Let's talk about business." Lu Yu said straightforwardly.
"The little brother is really quick to talk..." The shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Lu Yu intently, and said in surprise: "You are already a swordsman in the seventh floor?"
"Just a few days ago, I just broke through by chance." Lu Yu replied casually.
After the shopkeeper Zhou heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the little brother. Zhou's sword is in the mixing room. Come with me."
After finishing talking, shopkeeper Zhou got up and brought Lu Yu to a stone room. This stone room is not big, there is a round stone platform in the middle, and there is a raging fire in the center of the stone platform. In the fire there was a scarlet sword scorching in the ground fire.
Lu Yu just approached the flame and blurted out, "Is this earth fire?"
"Yes, this Wufu Mountain used to be a volcano. It hasn’t erupted for more than a thousand years. Zhou was lucky enough to find this ready-made eye of fire in this cave, so he built a cave in this remote place. "The shopkeeper Zhou said triumphantly.
"This sword is a first-rank holy sword?" Lu Yu asked, staring at the scarlet sword in the fire.
"This sword is called the Blood River Sword, and it is the sword of the first-rank holy rank in the magic way." Shopkeeper Zhou explained.
"Blood River Sword..." Lu Yu muttered in a low voice. The name of this sword was Lu Yu, but he had never heard of it, but the strong blood type on the sword made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Now I have roughly finished refining this sword. It's just that the little brother blends the blood and spirit into it, and polishes the final blade." The shopkeeper Zhou said while watching Lu Yu. Then he slammed a Fajue into the stone gate. Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared above the Shimen.
"Since I promised Boss Zhou, I won't regret it. Why are you so careful." Lu Yu glanced at the magic circle above the stone gate, and said lightly to the shopkeeper Zhou. With his current formation skills, he is no longer a rookie who knew nothing about the formation two years ago. This was just an ordinary trapped formation, Lu Yu could see where the flaws were at a glance, and could break the formation and escape in no time.
"Zhou always prepares with both hands." Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile.
Lu Yu didn't say a word either. Before he came to Shitai, he made a lot of decisions. After a while, water vapor appeared on his body, and then he made a small cut in his wrist with a small sword. The blood slowly flowed out. Lu Yu poured divine consciousness into the wound, and suddenly a dozen bright red blood beads slowly flew towards the blood river sword, and gradually merged into the sword. It took a full cup of tea to incorporate a blood drop into it.
"This holy sword is really good, and it consumes so much mana even if it blends into the blood ball." As soon as Lu Yu merged into one, he felt that a quarter of the mana in his body had been consumed. You know, his current mana has increased dozens of times compared to his previous swordsman level.
"This is natural, otherwise how could it be a first-rank saint-level sword. You can integrate all the dozen blood beads into the blood river sword, and it is estimated that the blade will be formed." The treasurer Zhou said with a smile.
Lu Yu nodded, and after adding another drop, only half of his mana remained. Lu Yu found an open space and meditated on the ground to recover his mana. He didn't believe that treasurer Zhou would not move to kill when his mana was dead. Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Lu Yu who was meditating, and didn't say anything, only a sneer appeared on his face.
Just like that, Lu Yu melted the blood beads into the sword while meditating to restore mana.
Time just passed a little bit. By the time Lu Yu put the last drop of blood into the sword, a whole day and night had passed. When the blood river sword melted in the last drop of blood, the smooth blade suddenly became sharp.
"It's done. Haha..." Shopkeeper Zhou laughed when he saw this scene.
Lu Yu stared at the Blood River Sword and didn't say a word. He always felt that the sword was still incomplete, there were shortcomings.
"Little brother, what are you looking at?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked curiously when he saw Lu Yu staring at the Blood River Sword.
"It's nothing. I just think that the sword hasn't been completed yet, I always feel that it's almost something." Lu Yu said calmly.
"Oh? You found it too." Shopkeeper Zhou heard Lu Yu's words and said calmly without any surprises.
Lu Yu heard the shopkeeper Zhou say so, he felt a little on guard.
"This sword is indeed not completed." When the shopkeeper Zhou saw that Lu Yu was still silent, he said, "This sword is still a dead man."
"Swordsman?" When Lu Yu heard this, he unknowingly pressed his hand into the storage bag.
"Yes, do you know why this sword is called the Blood River Sword? Because to refine this sword, blood must flow into a river. There are already 998 refiners who have been buried in it. There is one more person with this sword and you're done." When the treasurer Zhou said this, his eyes were red and he looked crazy.
"What do you mean by this~IndoMTL.com~Do you think you can succeed if you kill me? Don’t you know that the moment the sword is taken out is the factor that determines the success of this sword? Are you going to fight me to lose both for this **** river sword that is not necessarily successful?" Lu Yu still said calmly. He was very confident that although he was not an opponent of Zhou's treasurer with his own strength, he broke the formation. Yujian escape is not a problem. Old Xia thinks so too, so until now, he has not spoken to remind Lu Yu to make him be careful.
"My life's long-cherished wish is to refine a holy sword, even if I have a one-thousandth certainty, I am willing to try it. As for what you said will hurt both sides, do you deserve it?" The shopkeeper Zhou suddenly went from a crazy state After regaining consciousness, he said calmly.
"Even if I am not your opponent. However, I am confident that you will definitely not be able to kill me." Lu Yu has already reached Shimen's magic circle.
"Oh? You are so confident, you probably still want to escape with Yujian. But, try your luck now, do you still have mana in your body?" The shopkeeper Zhou sneered.
Lu Yu hurriedly used his whole body mana when he heard this. However, the mana seemed to be exhausted, without a trace.
"You are poisoned." Old Xia's voice reached Lu Yu's ears.
"Poisoned?" Lu Yu said in surprise.
"Oh? You are quite clever. Yes, I have lighted the mandala just now. In three hours, you will not have a trace of mana. Without mana, how can you escape with the sword? "The shopkeeper Zhou still said with a smile. After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Zhou raised his left hand, which had been lying backwards. I saw an inch-long little incense between his left fingers, which was lit, braving the faint smoke...
