  Chapter 38 Build a crossbow!

   Leaving Caishen Town, Su Changkong returned to the Black Iron Villa all the way.

   Thirty pairs of Yiqi powder herbs that Su Changkong purchased were enough for Su Changkong to use for a while.

   Su Changkong, who returned to the Black Iron Villa, did not delay, and practiced martial arts as always.

   Practice Wuqinxi in the morning and afternoon, swordsmanship during the day, and turtle breathing exercise at night. The schedule is full!

   A few days later, in the courtyard, Su Changkong was practicing the sword technique!

  Su Changkong stood still, a gust of wind blew, causing the branches of the big tree planted in the yard to sway, and a leaf fell.

   "Boom!"

   At this moment, Su Changkong suddenly opened his eyes, and the iron cutting knife around his waist unsheathed without warning, drew a perfect arc, and cut through.

  scoff!

  The leaf was split in two, and was shattered by a powerful force and scattered to the ground!

   "This waist strike is really suitable for me. It can be integrated into my Iron Slashing Sword Art, which can make the threat of Iron Slashing Sword Art to a higher level!"

  Su Changkong's eyes lit up.

This waist strike was learned from Yan Song. In order to draw the sword, the key point is to accumulate power. It seems that it does not move, but in fact it is like an arrow. Knives out, one hit kills!

   Even if the enemy is extraordinary and well prepared to block the fatal blow, he will inevitably fall into a passive situation!

  The difficulty of this waist strike is not low, but for Su Changkong, whose potential value is as high as 12 points, it is easy to master. Ordinary people need ten days and half a month to get started, and Su Changkong can take half a day and a day at most!

When    practiced the sword, Su Changkong integrated the waist strike into his own iron-cutting sword technique, which made the realm of the iron-cutting sword technique advance by leaps and bounds.

   In the morning and afternoon, Su Changkong's Wuqinxi practice was equally rapid.

   As for the Turtle Breathing Technique, it is very difficult to cultivate, supplemented with Qi San, and then accumulated with time, practiced diligently, and sooner or later, a breakthrough will be achieved!

   "What I lack the most... is money!"

Su Changkong's brows were darkly wrinkled. The medicinal herbs of Yiqi Powder purchased in Shenzhuang this time were only enough for a month or so. Without the help of Yiqi Powder, Su Changkong's Turtle Breathing Skill should be further improved, and it can be measured in years. He must get more money.

Su Changkong's ability to make money is not slow. In Black Iron Villa, his efficiency in making swords is second to none. He can earn more than ten taels of silver a month, which is unimaginable for ordinary people, but for Su Changkong, who cultivates martial arts, A little drop in the bucket!

"If I want to make enough money in a short period of time, I can't do it in peace." Su Changkong understood this, "I helped Baiyu Gang build armor, and I could earn one hundred taels a month. I can start from this aspect. …”

   A strange color flashed in Su Changkong's eyes. Rare things are precious, especially some things that are expressly banned, which are even more valuable!

  Like a sword, even if it is of good quality, the Dayan Dynasty does not ban swords and can buy them anywhere. Unless it is a real treasure, it is impossible for a sword to sell for a sky-high price.

   If Su Changkong built a set of armor and sold it, it would be better than ten or dozens of swords combined!

Of course, the premise is that it can be sold. Su Changkong has no plans to build armor and sell it. Once he builds a set of armor, Su Changkong is alone. It takes too long, and it may take more than a month to build a set. This thing uses too much material, the cost is high, and it is easy to attract attention.

   "I can build some 'crossbows'..."

  Su Changkong quickly had an idea in his mind.

  In the Dayan Dynasty, in order to prevent rebellion, armor was forbidden, and crossbows were forbidden but bows were forbidden.

  Bows and crossbows, among which bows and arrows are not prohibited, but a good archer takes a long time to train, and it may take several years to train a good archer!

   But the crossbow is different. This thing is easy to operate. You only need to learn to pull the crossbow string, then aim at the target and pull the trigger. You can master the crossbow proficiently in a few days, and you can train crossbowmen in large quantities! The threat is too great!

   Therefore, the decree of the Dayan Dynasty banned the armored crossbow.

  The making of armor requires more materials, and the process is complicated. Even Su Changkong is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make armor by one person. The crossbow is more compact, and it takes less time to build a crossbow than armor, but its value is not lower than armor.

   Therefore, Su Changkong felt that he could build a crossbow, and if he could find a place to sell it, he should be able to sell it at a high price and use it for cultivation!

   As for whether this will violate the laws of the Dayan Dynasty... It's good not to know.

   "Draw first!"

  Su Changkong was resolute and immediately began to draw the blueprint for the manufacture of the crossbow.

  There are many types of crossbow, Qin crossbow, Zhuge crossbow, bed crossbow, siege crossbow and so on.

  Those like bed crossbows and siege crossbows are too huge. They are far more powerful than bows and arrows. They can pierce gold and iron at hundreds of paces, but they are more complicated to build and require more time and materials.

  Su Changkong was more inclined to the individual crossbow. The blueprint for the manufacture of the Qin crossbow that he had seen in the previous life appeared in his mind, and he started to draw it.

   It took several hours before a blueprint of a crossbow appeared in front of Su Changkong.

  A single soldier crossbow, its main structure is composed of crossbow arms, crossbow bows, bow strings and other parts.

The material is mainly wood with excellent flexibility, with metal, cowhide and other materials. These materials are not uncommon, but the manufacturing process is very delicate, and it is impossible for ordinary people to complete it. Energy should be fine!

  I did it when I thought of it, and Su Changkong immediately purchased some materials.

  Wood Su Changkong purchased some sour jujube wood. As for some accessories and mechanisms of the crossbow, copper is the main one. These are easy to get in the Black Iron Villa, and the cowhide for making bowstrings is not difficult to buy.

   After buying all the materials, Su Changkong quickly started to manufacture it. The crossbow and armor are both forbidden items. Su Changkong can only make it by himself and cannot be known by others.

   The parts and mechanism of the crossbow are extremely delicate, which is the most important foundation. The technical content is very high, and the ordinary blacksmith cannot make it at all, and it needs to be forged with a furnace.

  Su Changkong then found Director Liu and made his own request to Director Liu: "Director Liu, I want to use the workshop in the evening, work overtime, and build more weapons..."

   During the daytime, these parts must not be made in the workshop, and they need to be rested when no one is there. He used an excuse to tell Director Liu that he wanted to work overtime, build more weapons, and earn more money.

This is not in line with the rules, making Director Liu hesitant, but Su Changkong is the most skilled caster in Hei Tie Villa, and he has never asked for a higher salary. The villa can still mix well! Of course, Black Iron Villa also needs to try his best to meet his requirements and prevent him from leaving dissatisfied!
