Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

Liuyun Cottage.

A building built by Chen Nuo in the suburbs, at the intersection of the end of Tianhe (underground river).

The area is not too big or too small, about the size of eight football fields in the previous life. It is claimed to be a viewing manor for enjoyment.

But in fact...

"The quantity of this batch of salt is enough, check it out, this is the red seal."

"This batch of goods is..."

"And this, the weapons this time were almost intercepted, I have reported it..."

"The quantity of the new batch of ore is not enough, report it..."

"The price of food has risen again, tell me..."

"..."

One cart after another, one strong man exuding a fierce atmosphere, and a corner of iron vaguely exposed under the rags...

Private salt.

Armor.

Gold.

Yes, this place is the storage location of the Chen family for smuggling transactions.

As for these goods.

Although this place is remote and poor, with few people and few fields, and often savages, poisonous insects and beasts, there are really many mines, especially when the Tianhe Army occupies more and more mountains.

More and more minerals were discovered.

Copper, silver, iron, gold...

With iron ore, weapons can be made, and copper, silver and gold can be minted. As for private salt, there is too little well salt on this land. If the private salt dealers can make a lot of money every time, the Chen family has taken over since Chen Deng accidentally discovered a group of private salt dealers last time.

Therefore, salt, gold and silver minerals, as well as obsolete weapons and weapons, cloth and food, etc., are now all smuggled by the Chen family.

The main sales targets are naturally those big forces and small and medium forces.

In troubled times, if you don't expand your military equipment, you are just a granary.

But expanding your military equipment also requires economic assistance, and simple business obviously cannot meet this requirement.

Therefore, smuggling, a high-profit business, came into being.

Of course, do those big forces know?

The answer is of course that they know, but they all acquiesce.

Now is an era where demand exceeds supply, and there is no choice.

However, this place, which can be regarded as the gold mine of the Chen family, now has a few more people.

Ouyang followed Chen Nuo step by step to come here. When he saw these secrets, Ouyang was not surprised at all, nor did he feel uneasy about not being able to escape after seeing the secrets. Instead, he felt that this was the trust of this adult!

After all.

These were foreseeable when he decided to become a follower in order to seek shelter.

However.

The adult he followed was really amazing. He actually had such a large foundation.

The scale of this foundation was much stronger than when their family was in Yuzhou, but there were fewer people.

However, with such a powerful warrior like the adult in charge, this place will develop no matter what.

However, I am just a follower now, without a name or status, which is not conducive to survival here. I also have the responsibility to keep the Ou family going, and there are Ou Shan, Ling'er and others...

So, I...

Just when he was thinking about it.

The figure in front of him stopped like a deep mountain.

The guards guarding the big iron gate in front opened the iron gate, and what came to them was a rolling heat wave!

…

Ding-Dang-Dang…

Zizizizi…

This sound is so familiar.

Ouyang watched every scene closely, where one blacksmith after another was working.

Sweat slid down his solid muscles.

Arms swung up, hammers swung.

Sparks like treetops splashed one after another.

There were also hazy white mists from pieces of red-hot iron put into cold water.

This is this big room!

Scorching... muffled sound... sparks...

This is how it feels.

"Ouyang, are you interested in making a work?"

Chen Nuo finally spoke.

Ouyang knelt on one knee without hesitation, "I am willing to serve you!"

Chen Nuo smiled and waved his hand calmly, "You said before that your family is good at forging, and this place is just right."

If nothing unexpected happens, Ouyang and his friends will have to work here to repay Chen Nuo's kindness.

At this time, Ouyang did not stand up, but continued, "Sir, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh? Go ahead."

"Sir, I want to become a retainer of the Chen family."

After saying that, he knelt down on his other leg, lowering his head.

This is the solution he came up with for himself, his clansmen, and his family.

In this world, if you don't have enough power, you are doomed to be uneasy.

But, if you get close to people with power, you can also live!

In addition, for the sake of family inheritance, he only said that he was a retainer, and did not count Ou Ling and the others.

In other words, he was selling himself to seek a more reliable shelter.

Looking at Ouyang, Chen Nuo probably understood his thoughts and looked at him with interest.

"Do you know?"

"So far, my Chen family has only one family general."

"And now, he is already the general of my Chen family's Tianhe Army, with tens of thousands of troops under his command."

"Do you think you are qualified?"

Faced with Chen Nuo's doubts, Ouyang said loudly, "I am not good at martial arts, military tactics, or internal affairs, but I am good at forging."

"In addition to forging blood weapons, the ordinary iron weapons forged by my Ou family are also magical weapons in the hands of warriors."

"Please give me one day, sir!"

"I will prove myself!"

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, "Okay, a weapon that will convince all of them. You can use anything here. Let's start now."

"Yes!"

Ouyang immediately stood up and came to the felt platform.

Take off your clothes, reveal your strong upper body, and pick up the hammer.

Chen Nuo was standing next to you.

Under Chen Nuo's gaze, Ouyang began a series of actions.

It must be said that Ouyang is worthy of being a genius of the Ou family.

Not eating or drinking for a day, he forged a long sword with a cold light and fine patterns in the shocked eyes of other blacksmiths around him.

In the end, he directly cut his palm and tempered it with blood.

Draw out the long sword.

"Sir."

He knelt on the ground holding the sword.

"This is a sword that can be called a magic weapon by people in the martial arts world. It can cut iron like mud and cut hair with a blow."

"Because of insufficient materials and conditions, I have not forged a blood weapon. This is the strongest ordinary weapon I can forge."

Chen Nuo took the long sword and waved it gently.

Bang!

With a little effort, the iron felt platform was cut off at a corner.

Chen Nuo swung his hand and the long sword fell into the hands of a young man with a simple face.

"Chen Tie, what do you think of this sword?"

"Patriarch, this sword, a peerless magic weapon, we can't make it." Chen Tie answered directly.

He is one of the few people in the Chen family who chose the path of blacksmith. After eight years, he has become a master and can distinguish between good and bad.

And the peerless magic weapon he mentioned is a weapon that can easily break the defense of the skin and flesh realm.

It can even be a threat to the tendon and bone realm.

This kind of weapon, they can't make.

In other words, in the whole Yue Kingdom, no, in Jiuzhou, there are very few such weapons on the market. Fortunately, there are very few, otherwise the skin-flesh realm warriors who can resist swords and knives should cry and change their names!

"Okay, I accept you as a retainer."

Chen Nuo said directly.

Ouyang knelt down and kowtowed, thanking loudly.

Chen Nuo shook his true energy and helped him up.

"Since you are my Chen family retainer, I won't be polite to you."

"Tell me about the blood weapon in detail."

Before.

Although Ouyang was saved by Chen Nuo and followed him voluntarily, it does not mean that he is his own.

Moreover, due to the family's face and family style, Chen Nuo cannot ask Ouyang some secret questions about his inheritance, and can only let him serve, work, and forge blood weapons.

If you are eager to explore the other party's family inheritance just after rescuing him, this is called shameless and skinless, and you don't even want to eat.

What kind of family style is this?

What kind of rules is this?

Which real big family will look like this? (Let’s not talk about the petty and despicable things, Chen Nuo has his own aspirations)

Especially as the head of the clan, Chen Nuo is a role model.

I don’t know how many young clan members are learning from him.

So, many times, Chen Nuo cares a lot about his image and personality.

But now it’s different.

As a retainer, he is one of us, and some issues can be discussed directly.

Ouyang didn’t waste any words and spoke directly.

The so-called blood weapon is actually passed down from the fourth volume of the blood scripture left by the ancestor, the old man Xueyuan.

The fourth volume talks about making weapons in detail.

With the source blood of the viscera realm and the true qi of the mind realm as the main, the two are integrated into the weapon, and the blood weapon with magical power is born.

However, this volume is not perfect, because at the end of the volume, the old man Xueyuan once said that this is just the beginning, and the method of blood weapon can be continuously developed as the realm is improved.

That is to say, this volume is just a prototype.

Later, their descendants began to forge according to the description of the blood scripture, but they were not good enough and could not reach the height of their ancestors.

There is no way.

The only option is to continuously degrade it. Today, eight hundred years later, even those in the Flesh Realm and the Inner Force Realm can create some ordinary blood weapons.

Of course, this kind of blood weapon can't be used against strong men in the Viscera Realm.

"Our clan divides blood weapons into three levels."

"Low-level blood weapons are just magical weapons among the mortals, with minimal magical effects, suitable for people below the peak of tendons and bones and the peak of true qi.

The advantage is that it can also be forged in the flesh and skin realm and the inner force realm."

"Medium-level blood weapons can greatly increase combat power and have some magical effects. They are suitable for use by peak tendons and bones and the peak of true qi. If you are lucky, you can even defeat a higher-level warrior.

Only warriors in the tendons and bones and true qi realm can forge them."

"We generally call high-level blood weapons divine weapons or magic weapons. They have a little intelligence and have a lot of magical effects. The specific effects mainly depend on which power is dominant when forging and what materials are used, but at least they can improve combat power. They are exclusive weapons for great masters such as the viscera realm and the mind realm. Only such masters can use them freely without being backlashed or controlled.

This level has only been forged by ancestors, and the condition is that they are warriors in the viscera realm and the mind realm."

After listening, Chen Nuo was speechless.

He felt complicated.

On the one hand, he felt that this old man Xueyuan was extremely talented. Not only did he create his own Qi and Blood Martial Arts, but he also made such achievements in other areas. He was simply a genius among geniuses. Strong!

On the other hand, he really wanted to ask, is your clan so lame?

There hasn't been another person who can create magic weapons in 800 years?

As if he could guess Chen Nuo's thoughts, Ouyang explained, "It's not that my clan doesn't work hard, it's just that the requirements for blood weapon forging are very strict."

"The requirements for forging that I just mentioned are not single, but all together."

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, "In other words, the blood weapon forger must be a blood and qi dual cultivator?"

"Yes, only in this way can the details of forging be accurately controlled, as well as the input of energy and the focus of willpower..."

Good guy.

No wonder.

As a blood and qi dual cultivator, Chen Nuo knows the difficulty very well.

It's already difficult for ordinary people to practice qi and blood martial arts. Even if those big clans spend resources, most of them can only be cultivated to the peak of the tendon and bone realm. The internal organs realm depends on understanding and luck.

You have to add a true qi martial arts.

This is not twice as difficult!

It's five times! Ten times! Even dozens or hundreds of times!

The difficulty continues to rise as you practice the two martial arts.

"It's not easy for your clan to produce a few people who forge medium-level blood weapons."

That's right.

The outer realm of tendons and bones plus the realm of true qi.

Even if he is a genius, he will probably be in his fifties or sixties, and half of his life will have passed, or even more than half.

If such a person cultivates a single system, he will definitely be able to break through the internal organs or the mind!

In a sense, has their clan been cheated by this forging method?

Chen Nuo inexplicably had this thought.

Now let's look at Ouyang. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is already at the peak of skin and flesh plus the peak of internal force.

A true genius!

Even the other members of the Ou family should not be underestimated. They are basically ruthless people who practice dual cultivation.

"By the way, take a look at this knife."

Thinking of the so-called blood weapon, Chen Nuo suddenly remembered the origin of all this, the knife he got from the Tiannan Exchange Conference.

Chen Nuo clapped his hands.

Chen Tie immediately took out a weapon from the blacksmith's room.

As soon as he appeared, Ouyang was shocked.

"This! Can San?!"

Chen Nuo's eyes lit up. Sure enough, this weapon was related to them. It should be the so-called blood weapon. However, is this thing a divine weapon, a demon weapon, or a medium blood weapon?

Chen Nuo was a little unsure.

After all, he felt that although this weapon met the level of a visceral realm warrior, it seemed to be missing something. It didn't seem as magical and powerful as Ouyang described.

"Master, can I take a look at this weapon?"

Chen Nuo nodded.

Ouyang hurried over and took the long knife from Chen Tie's hand. He observed it carefully and rubbed it with his hand, especially looking at the words Can San on the handle.

After a while, he suddenly gently scratched the blade with his hand, and the surging blood flowed out instantly, staining the blade.

The next second.

The knife actually vibrated and a strange ferocity began to emanate.

Indistinctly, Chen Nuo even saw a bloody, bat-like ferocious beast shadow flashing on the blade.

Squeak!

The long knife fell to the ground.

Ouyang took a deep breath.
