First Lord of Earth

"Sir, there are two outstanding people who would like to meet..."

At this time, A'Zhu, dressed in red with flowing cloud sleeves and a delicate yellow flower on his forehead, came to report.

"Two of you? Could it be that another outstanding person came to ask for recruitment..."

However, wait until Xia Tian comes to the front hall of the recruitment hall.

It turned out to be Gan Jiang and Mo Ye.

Before, Xia Tian asked the two of them to come to the Talent Recruitment Hall to find him after they had completed their research.

Now it seems that the "materials" have been processed and the specific details of creating a "magic weapon" have been discussed with him!

"I don't know, what kind of weapon is Lord Xia best at?"

In fact, as Xia Tian thought, Qian put the "Twelve Golden Man Pieces" on the table, which seemed to have shrunk in size, but the killing aura was several times stronger, and said to Xia Tian.

"Well, the weapon I'm good at? Of course it's the sword!"

Xia Tian thought for a while and answered.

Although his strongest body now should be his physical body, the sword is indeed the weapon he is most accustomed to using!

“Then Lord Xia, would you consider using this ‘Qijin’ to make a sword?”

"To tell you the truth, the weapon we and I are best at forging are also swords. If we cast it into a sword, there is a 50% chance that it will eventually reach the level of a 'magic weapon'..."

After Gan Jiang and Mo Xie looked at each other, there was a look of confidence on their faces.

"Well, I naturally believe in the skills and uncanny craftsmanship of the two of you. However, I already have a good sword in my hand..."

Xia Tian took out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword from the "Jiangshan Battle Picture" and showed it to the two of them.

Although the "Seven Star Longyuan Sword" is only rated as silver, its characteristics are very consistent with Xia Tian's own talent.

What's more important is that in the days that it was nurtured in the "Jiangshan Battle Map", it has almost been upgraded to golden quality.

In Xia Tian's heart, some don't want to replace it.

"Well, this is the Longyuan Sword... is it in your hand?"

But they saw the expressions of General Mo Xie change.

Just because Long Yuan Sword was forged by Ou Yezi.

Moreover, in the casting process, Ganjiang himself also participated in part of the process.

Therefore, after seeing this sword, both of us could not help but be moved.

In my heart, I immediately felt a bit "kind" to Xia Tian.

If we say it was just a business relationship before.

Because of this Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, the distance was suddenly shortened a lot!

"It seems that Lord Xia loves this sword very much!"

The couple immediately showed expressions of appreciation.

For a sword maker, he naturally does not want the "magic weapon" he has worked so hard to forge to be buried in the hands of a person who doesn't really like swords and just treats them as tools.

"After all, the old sword is deeply in love, so it is natural to abandon it reluctantly."

Xia Tian smiled.

Here, it is a reference to the general Mo Xie.

Allusions belonging to "later generations".

During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan Liu Bing was imprisoned as an infant due to the "scourge of witchcraft" and later lived among the people. He was later welcomed back by Huo Qubing's younger brother, General Huo Guang, and was made emperor.

Huo Guang, the general who wielded power in both the government and the public, and even had the ability to depose and establish emperors, hoped that Liu Bing could make his daughter Huo Chengjun his queen.

But after he ascended the throne, Liu Bingji issued a strange edict: "When I was poor, I liked an ancient sword very much. Now I miss it very much. Can you please help me save it?" How about getting it back?"

After the ministers speculated on their intentions.

They jointly asked Xu Pingjun, who had grown up with Liu Bing when he was a civil servant, to be the queen!

It is known in history as "the old sword has deep love".

For Xia Tian, ​​Long Yuan Sword is now quite spiritual.

He also witnessed that he had no knowledge of swordsmanship at the beginning, and now he is a master, and he indeed has strong feelings.

"If this is the case, then there are two options."

"On the one hand, this piece of 'Qi Jin', which contains the power of killing, can be forged into other forms of weapons. For example, swords, spears, war hammers..."

"Both of them, the idea is to integrate the power of this piece of strange gold into the 'Longyuan Sword', so that the latter can absorb the power of rules in it and further transform and improve it."

"Among them, if the first plan is cast into other forms of weapons, the chance of becoming a 'magic weapon' may be only 30%! But the second plan has more than 50% certainty."

After the two discussed it for a while.

The final building plan is given.

"If you choose the second option, what exactly should you do?"

Xia Tian said after pondering slightly.

This "Twelve Golden Man·Fragments" is definitely hard to come by, and will be hard to get in the future.

If the most top-notch magic weapon cannot be cast, it will undoubtedly be a waste.

Besides, the main weapon he currently uses is also a sword!

Although it can theoretically be cast into a "war bow", the bow cannot fully utilize its own powerful physical advantages.

"The Longyuan Sword has a sword but no sword box. You can use this piece of 'wonderful gold' to create a sword box, and then put the Longyuan Sword into it, and then seal it and sharpen it with the killing power of the sword box... …When the Long Yuan Sword fully adapts and absorbs the power of the sword box, there is a certain chance that it will be one step closer... However, it will take a longer time.”

"how long?

"It will take at least a year or two, right?"

Gan Jiang said.

One or two years is obviously too long.

Xia Tian feels that the third fusion of heaven and earth will definitely not wait until one or two years later!

"It's not like there's no way to speed it up! The reason why it needs to be made into a 'sword box' instead of being directly integrated into it is because this 'wonderful gold' contains the most powerful killing aura in the world. Longyuan Sword only relies on its own strength. , it is very likely that it will be reversely fused by the power of the rules, or even destroy itself by the power of killing..."

"But if some top swordsmen can hold the 'Longyuan Sword' and integrate it with their own sword intent, and 'battle-sharpen' it with this piece of 'Qijin' in the form of forging weapons, the casting cycle can be greatly reduced! Moreover, Increase the probability of casting a 'magic weapon' to a certain extent."

At this time, Mo Xie said.

"Some top swordsmen? About how many?"

Xia Tian heard the key.

Comprehending the "Sword Intention" is something that only a master-level swordsman can master.

You must know that so far, the only master-level swordsmen he has seen are Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.

Both of them currently have left moves with artistic conception in the "Sword Pavilion" in their territory. Plus, he himself has been promoted to Grandmaster. I don't know if he can meet the conditions!

"It's not enough. If you want to complete the casting as soon as possible, you need at least ten top swordsmen to integrate the sword intent into it, and the more the better!"

General Mo Xie looked at each other, shook his head and said.

This made Xia Tian frown.

After all, it seems that the theoretical jade-white rare item-level weapons are not so easy to obtain!

"Hey, what a Longquan sword! What a piece of 'Golden Man's Copper'..."

At this time, Xia Tian suddenly heard a sound coming into his ears.

When I turned around, I found a man wearing a white moiré robe with a long sword with a scabbard patterned like a blooming green lotus hanging on his waist. He looked slightly drunk standing at the entrance of the recruitment hall.

With drunken eyes, he stared at the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in Xia Tian's hand and the "Twelve Golden Man·Fragments" beside him, seeming to be very interested.

"Your Excellency knows these two items..."

Xia Tian's face moved slightly.

First, he obtained the fragments of the "Twelve Golden Men" in the imperial mausoleum, and even after being processed by the generals Mo Xie and his wife, they were still able to recognize them.

Secondly, is it because he can't feel the level of this person's cultivation at all?

It means that the other party either has no cultivation level, but judging from the image of the other party with a sword, it is obviously unlikely.

The remaining possibility is a treasure with hidden aura, similar to the bracelet Lai Buyi gave to Xiao Yaochi, or a technique similar to the "Hidden Sword Technique".

Additionally, there is a possibility…

Xia Tian keenly noticed that the other party called the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword "Longquan Sword". You must know that this was the name changed in the Tang Dynasty to avoid the name of Emperor Gaozong Li Yuan.

Therefore, it can be determined that this person will definitely be an outstanding figure in the Tang Dynasty in the future!

"After I was drunk, I dreamed about it in my dream... By the way, I also dreamed about Bai Yujing in the sky, with twelve floors and five cities in it..."

The Qinglian swordsman with cloud patterns in white clothes said, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, he raised the white jade wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.

"Well, are you out of wine?"

Only to find that the wine jug was empty.

"A'Zhu, go to the territory immediately to get the best wine."

Xia Tian's heart moved and asked A'Zhu to go to Wu Song and get the golden wine pot.

"This is my Bai Yujing's 'golden wine'. I invite you to drink it..."

Xia Tian poured the "golden wine" into the cup with a smile on his face, and asked A'Zhu to take it and hand it to him.

"Hiccup... good wine, a bit like the strong wine from the Western Regions, the countdown is quite delicious!"

The green lotus swordsman in white clothes was not restrained. He took the wine and drank it. Then he narrowed his eyes and burped and said.

Of course it’s good wine…

This is the wine brewed in the "golden jug" that was captured from the centaur prince.

And it is not "white quality" at the beginning, but has been upgraded to a blue-rated rare item after being upgraded through a rare treasure called "wine beads". The quality of the wine produced is extremely high and makes people forget to leave!

"I don't like to owe favors! How about this? I'll exchange a poem for your glass of wine. It's fair..."

The blue lotus swordsman in white glanced at Xia Tian and said.

"Exchanging poems for wine? Thank you very much, Your Excellency! A'Zhu, go get pen and paper..."

Xia Tian's heart moved and she called A'Zhu.

"If you don't need a pen, just lend me the Longquan sword in your hand. I like to use the sword as a pen... As for the paper..."

The swordsman in white and green lotus shook his head.

"Okay! Sir, please write on this 'golden stone'!"

Xia Tian nodded, and then handed over the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword to the other party without hesitation.

He even pointed to the "Twelve Golden Man Pieces" placed on the table and said.

Clang!

As for the latter, with the sword in his hand, his whole temperament became different, and most of the drunkenness on his body disappeared, like a peerless sword suddenly unsheathed.

It makes everyone around him feel that their eyes can't help but focus on him.

Then, I saw the latter actually using the long sword in his hand as a "pen" to quickly carve words on the "Twelve Golden Man Fragments" that Ganjiang Mo Xie was preparing to make into a "sword box".

Clang!

And when the long sword collided with the fragments, a metallic sound was made.

The surrounding light also changed suddenly, and everyone suddenly found themselves on a battlefield.

A knight with a shaggy bun and a crown hanging down, holding a seven-star Longyuan Sword, riding on a white horse with a silver saddle, rushed towards a group of people like a shooting star!

"What, this is...an extraordinary level of 'artistic conception'!"

Gan Jiang and Mo Xie's eyes suddenly moved, and they both exclaimed.

When a person's skills reach the level of a master, his soul can be condensed enough and the power of his mind can be integrated into his actions to influence others to a certain extent.

This is called "artistic conception"!

For example, fist intention, knife intention, sword intention...

And when a person's "artistic conception" is powerful to a certain extent, when using moves, other people can be affected by his mind.

This swordsman in green lotus and white clothes only writes "with his sword as a pen".

But when the artistic conception is released inadvertently, everyone around him is brought into it unconsciously, as if time and space are suddenly changed, and they are in the battlefield described in the poem!

"This is……"

There are some changes on the face like summer.

But it's not mainly because of the extraordinary "artistic conception" displayed by the other party.

But it was because the other party used his sword as a pen to write on the "Sword Box Embryo" with iron hooks and silver strokes - Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star!

""Xia Ke Xing"..."

Who is the author of Xia Ke Xing does not need any introduction at all.

Except for those who do not read, every Chinese person can blurt out a few lines of his poems.

Except for poetry, though.

His swordsmanship is also very superb.

There is a legend that the first person in swordsmanship in the entire Tang Dynasty was the "Sword Master" Pei Min, and the third person in swordsmanship was Gongsun Auntie, who "moves all directions with her sword."

And ranked second is Li Bai, who is Pei Min’s disciple!

Super hero, layman Qinglian... When the wine was filled with sadness, three parts turned into sword energy, and seven parts turned into moonlight. He wrote half of Li Taibai in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Although, Xia Tian didn't know whether Li Bai in history really had the "second best swordsmanship in the world".

But at least what I can see in front of me is that after being blessed by the rules of the Eternal Land, Li Bai's swordsmanship is absolutely amazing!

"Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles, brush away your clothes when the matter is over, and hide your body and name deeply."

Especially when he goes on to write the second sentence.

A strong murderous aura burst out from the sword, and the knight with a hanging crown and a tassel riding a white horse was holding the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, like a shooting star.

Wherever he passed, one enemy after another fell down clutching his neck, trying to scream but was completely silent.

The murderer's eyes were always as cold as frost. When the battle was over, he stood on the empty battlefield riding a white horse that had turned red after soaking in blood. He stayed for a moment, then walked away and disappeared into the distance!

"What's the situation? How could there be such strong murderous intent?"

It wasn't just Summer who felt it.

At this time, Jiang Wei, who was reminiscing with Zhuge Liang in the room, also walked out with Zhuge Liang. Both of them had a little surprise on their faces!

"After leisurely drinking in Xinling, I took off my sword and stretched my knees forward... Three cups of vomiting Runuo, the five mountains are lighter..."

The two locked their eyes on the source of the murderous aura, the swordsman in white and green lotus who was smelling of alcohol and using his sword as a pen to write poems on the "Sword Box Embryo"!

"Well, this poem is really majestic!"

Jiang Wei's expression was suddenly very moved.

You know, Jiang Wei in history was not a simple military general, but was as skilled in both civil and military affairs as Zhuge Liang.

He not only left behind handed down books such as "Pu Yuan Biography" and "Book of Commandments to Sons", but he is even said to have created the famous guqin music "Danggui"!

Therefore, I naturally have the ability to judge the quality of this poem.

"What a beautiful poem!"

Even Zhuge Liang couldn't help stroking his beard, his eyes filled with admiration.

"This person was able to produce such amazing changes just by writing "Xia Ke Xing"... Hiss, could it be..."

Even Qi Jiguang and Zhu Youxiao, who were studying weapons at the rear, also came out. Seeing the scene of "sword aura" in the front hall, they instantly understood the identity of the person coming.

Just because, except Li Bai himself.

It would be extremely difficult for others to express such a majestic, murderous and chivalrous artistic conception by writing poems alone.

After all, in ancient times, Li Taibai's talent was said to be "once in a thousand years". Only one thousand years ago did Cao Zijian appear, and only one thousand years after that did Su Dongpo appear!

Along with the writing of "Xia Ke Xing".

A top killer holds the Longquan sword and kills in ten steps. Holding his body in the white blade, his life in the mortal world of murder is completely integrated into the "Longyuan Sword", making the entire sword seem to have experienced the baptism of the scene described in the poem. , the spirituality was further enhanced, and a powerful killing power was born...

"This man's sword power is truly unparalleled that I have ever seen in my life."

"Especially this poem contains the majestic artistic conception of killing, which is of great benefit to the 'Longyuan Sword'. This poem alone can increase the success rate of casting the 'Magic Weapon' by 20%..." "

The expression on General Mo Xie's face became even more excited.

You must know that the two of them are already among the top casters in ancient China, and what they cast is the "sword weapon" they are best at, but they are only 50% sure that they can cast a "sword weapon" equivalent to the quality of jade white. Divine Weapon".

This is already quite high.

But this "Green Lotus Swordsman" can increase the probability by another 20% based on just one poem.

Even if the "God of Craftsman" Ou Yezi comes, he may not be able to compare in terms of efficiency!

Is this the arrogance of China in later generations? Sure enough, future generations cannot be underestimated!

"According to what you two said... as long as there are a few more poems like this, can the time of casting the 'divine weapon' be shortened?"

Xia Tian thought of something and asked.

"Yes, even if it is not as good as the 'tempering' effect of the first song, it will still be very useful and can greatly increase the efficiency and probability of casting divine weapons!"

“But it just can’t be the same verse, and it must also incorporate enough ‘artistic conception’!”

The two nodded.

The reason why ten top swordsmen were required to participate was because a person's "sword intent" is fixed to a large extent.

For example, Ximen Chuixue's sword is mainly based on "killing intention", Ye Gucheng's sword is based on "immortal intention", and Xia Tian's sword moves are mainly based on "hegemonic intention", so at least ten kinds of "sword intention" are needed to "sword" in all directions. Only by tempering can you have a high enough chance to be promoted to become a "magic weapon"!

However, when Li Bai wrote poems with a sword, the "sword intention" displayed was not fixed, but was completely generated based on the poems he wrote.

This means that only Li Taibai can complete the work of the original ten top swordsmen!

"Well, it means "the more, the merrier", right?"

Xia Tian understands.

As long as I can get Li Bai to write more poems with "sword meaning", the potential of Long Yuan Sword will be greater, and the more likely it is to be promoted to "Jade White" quality.

However, Li Bai is not from the territory.

What can I do to get him to write a few, or even dozens of "sword poems" for me?

Sorry, this chapter is five hours late.

Because the number of words is more than expected.

Don’t worry, the chapter tonight will definitely come out this time!
