Zhou Xueyi felt that her worldview had been challenged like never before. As a martial artist, she naturally had a certain ability to appreciate the quality of weapons.
Not to mention that when I followed Old General Qi Old General Qi, he also supervised the forging of weapons, and the famous Qi Army Saber was one of Old General Qi masterpieces.
During those years, she also gained some understanding of it and naturally understood the difficulty of forging weapons.
Even the famous Qi Army Saber were basically forged from Hundred-Forged Refined Iron. Forging Thousand-Forged Refined Steel was too difficult and too costly, so it was abandoned.
But what's going on now?
These swords are all made of high-quality Thousand-Forged Refined Steel, and not just any high-quality Thousand-Forged Refined Steel, but steel refined through four thousand refinements.
This kind of sword is so powerful that it can be called a divine weapon. It is probably the same level of divine weapon used by the leaders of the major sects in the martial arts world.
There are a full twenty pairs of divine weapons of this caliber here!
She had been there for quite a while and had witnessed the entire process of Wang Hao forging a pair of divine weapons. The speed was as fast as an ordinary blacksmith forging a kitchen knife; it was almost done in one go.
"How about it? These longswords are pretty good, aren't they!"
Wang Hao wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel placed to the side and laughed heartily.
He had no intention of being proud or showing off. Having already seen true divine weapons in his previous life in the Primordial World world, he didn't take these swords seriously at all; at most, they were just practice pieces!
This is indeed the case. Compared to the true divine weapons forged by the Nine Li Tribe using minerals imbued with Innate Spirituality, which possess the power to split mountains and cleave peaks, these swords are simply children's toys.
It would be strange if there was anything to be proud of or proud of!
"Uh... it's actually pretty good, it's just a bit ugly!"
After the initial shock, Zhou Xueyi forced herself to remain calm and gave an evaluation, but inwardly she was cursing Wang Hao for being pretentious.
You've forged such a divine weapon and you still ask questions so calmly—is this what they call subtly showing off?
"..."
Wang Hao's face darkened; the girl's evaluation involuntarily reminded him of his earlier experience on the ship.
This girl would rather die than marry him because she thought he was ugly!
"Calm down! Calm down! I, Wang Hao, don't hit women! I don't hit women!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Hao suppressed the urge to spank the girl's butt.
Seeing the change in Wang Hao's expression, Zhou Xueyi paused for a moment before realizing her mistake. Knowing she had spoken out of turn, she quickly handed Wang Hao the two sheets of paper she was holding, changing the subject, "These are the cultivation techniques and spear techniques I practice."
She came here to deliver the martial arts and spear techniques she had memorized last night, but she never expected to see the exaggerated scene of Wang Hao forging a divine sword.
Looking at the twenty sets of divine swords, Zhou Xueyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement, and she felt a renewed anticipation for the divine spear that Wang Hao had promised her last night.
" Yang Family Spear?"
He picked up the paper recording the spear techniques and began to look through it. The first thing that caught his eye was the three large characters "Yang Family Spear ".
The Yang Family Spear is very famous, with two versions. One version is that it was created by the Yang Family Generals during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the other version is that it was created by Yang Miaozhen, a female general in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Both versions are widely known.
However, compared to the Yang Family Generals, whose spear technique was created by men, the Yang Family Spear technique tends to be more forceful and aggressive, while Yang Miaozhen, being a woman, created a spear technique that is more feminine and graceful.
However, after Wang Hao finished reading Zhou Xueyi's description of the Yang Family Spear Techniques, he frowned slightly. This Yang Family Spear Technique was generally more forceful and powerful, but it also had many feminine elements. Moreover, the two did not match well, as if they had been forcibly merged together.
Wang Hao glanced at Zhou Xueyi in front of him, but didn't say much. He picked up the manual and began to read it. The first one was a fist technique called "Free and Easy Carefree Wandering," which was actually a martial art that cultivated both internal and external skills.
In the martial arts world, techniques are divided into dynamic techniques and static techniques. Generally, internal energy cultivation requires sitting cross-legged, which is the standard static technique. Dynamic techniques, on the other hand, require the circulation of internal energy to assist in the cultivation while practicing the moves.
The most famous internal cultivation technique in Old Master Jin's works is the Primordial Chaos Palm Art of the Mount Hua Sect during the Sword Stained with Royal Blood era. It is both an internal energy cultivation technique and a palm technique.
The Free and Carefree Wandering is a good dynamic cultivation method, and it's Peak First-Rate martial art, which is quite rare.
But when Wang Hao finished reading the Free Carefree Wandering manual and his eyes swept over the two other techniques, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
" Nine Yin White Bone Claw! Quanzhen Great Dao Song!"
How did you come to know these two martial arts techniques?
Forcing himself to calm down, Wang Hao looked at Zhou Xueyi with a puzzled expression.
These two martial arts are no ordinary skills; one is related to the Nine Yin True Scripture, and the other is related to the Quanzhen Sect. Both are extraordinary.
"My benefactor knows about these two martial arts?"
Zhou Xueyi was equally puzzled. She had investigated the origins of these two martial arts techniques over the years, but to no avail. Yet, this guy seemed to know the origins of these two martial arts techniques.
Seeing that Zhou Xueyi's expression seemed to indicate that she also didn't know the origin of these two martial arts, Wang Hao then explained, "These two martial arts of yours are not simple. This Quanzhen Great Dao Song is the introductory internal skill of the Quanzhen Sect, the largest Quanzhen Sect in the Southern Song Dynasty more than 300 years ago. Although it is only an introductory skill, it is still Peak First-Rate martial art. Even if you break through to the Grandmaster level, you can still cultivate it."
The Nine Yin White Bone Claw is no weakling either. It's a martial art recorded in the Nine Yin True Scripture, hailed as the ultimate guide to all martial arts, or rather, a variant of that martial art. Originally, the Nine Yin True Scripture recorded the Nine Yin Divine Claw, but two heretical practitioners mistakenly practiced it as the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, lowering its rank from Grandmaster- level to First-Rate.
Wang Hao did not hide this from Wang Hao, nor was there any need to hide it.
For him now, Grandmaster- level martial arts are nothing special. After all, he has already acquired two Xiantian Grandmaster- level martial arts. Although he cannot cultivate them, they have broadened his horizons.
He had even almost obtained the complete Nine Yin Manual before...
The thought of this made Wang Hao feel terrible, and the urge to catch Wangcai and turn him into a dog meat hot pot arose again in his heart.
You have to understand, that's the Nine Yin True Scripture!
"My benefactor?"
Seeing Wang Hao's expression change suddenly, Zhou Xueyi looked over in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with Wang Hao.
Why did your expression suddenly change while you were talking?
"Ah? Oh! I'm fine, I just remembered some bad memories, wait..."
After regaining his senses, Wang Hao smiled, but suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at the previous "Carefree Wandering, then at the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw," " Quanzhen Great Dao Song," and "Yang Family Spear Techniques," and a guess formed in his mind.
" The Yang Family Spear Techniques, the Carefree Wandering, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, the Quanzhen Great Dao Song —you wouldn't happen to have received Mu Nianci's inheritance, would you?"
Looking at Zhou Xueyi with suspicion, Wang Hao thought of Mu Nianci from the Legend of the Legend of the Condor Heroes era through these martial arts techniques.
Many people may be unfamiliar with the name Mu Nianci, but her other two identities are quite extraordinary: she was Yang Kang's wife and Yang Guo's mother.
Looking at all of Old Master Jin's books, only a handful of people know the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, such as Mei Chaofeng, Yang Kang, and Zhou Zhiruo from the era of Heaven Sword Heaven-Reliant.
Zhou Zhiruo is from the Emei Sect, so she wouldn't know the Quanzhen Great Dao Song, so she can be ruled out directly.
Mei Chaofeng can also be eliminated using this same principle, leaving only Yang Kang.
However, Mu Nianci learned the Free and Easy Wandering Carefree Wandering from Hong Qigong. Given Mu Nianci's temperament, there was absolutely no way she would pass it on to Yang Kang. On the contrary, Yang Kang was more likely to pass on the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and the Quanzhen Great Dao Song to Mu Nianci.
Therefore, only Mu Nianci fits all of these martial arts styles!
Coincidentally, Mu Nianci eventually went into seclusion in the Hangzhou -Jiaxing area, and even at the beginning of The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing met Yang Guo had become a beggar, in Jiaxing.
As a southerner who frequently travels around Hangzhou, Zhou Xueyi certainly has the opportunity to inherit the legacy that Mu Nianci may have left behind.
"I obtained these martial arts techniques from a dilapidated temple, but the person listed at the end is not surnamed Mu, but Yang, named Yang Nianci. She said she left them behind because she couldn't bear to see her adoptive father and husband's martial arts techniques lost."
Zhou Xueyi was startled. Although the name of Mu Nianci mentioned by Wang Hao was different from the name of the writer recorded at the end of the martial arts manual, the names were the same, which clearly indicated that there was a connection between them.
It was purely by chance that she was able to acquire these martial arts techniques. On the day she was being chased by people sent by Feng Lun, she fought fiercely in a dilapidated temple, which caused the long-neglected statue to collapse, thus revealing the martial arts techniques that had been sealed beneath the statue.
" Yang Nianci? That's true. Mu Nianci's adoptive father was a descendant of the Yang Family Generals. She only used a pseudonym for convenience when traveling the martial arts world. Her real name should indeed be Yang Nianci. The dilapidated temple you mentioned should be the Iron Spear Temple Iron Spear Temple. Her husband died tragically there."
Wang Hao nodded in realization; he wasn't surprised by this.
"Then where does the subtle and effeminate style of the Yang Family Spear Techniques come from?"
Wang Hao asked curiously, this being the last point of confusion.
"That part was a Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear Old General Qi specially obtained for me from a friend in Shandong."
Zhou Xueyi also did not hide anything and told the truth.
There are two Yang Family Spear in the world today: one created by the Yang Family Generals and the other created by Yang Miaozhen. One is hard and the other is soft.
Her Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear technique was created by Yang Miaozhen and is very famous in Shandong.
"They specially sought out a spear technique just for you? It seems Old General Qi really values you!"
Stroking his chin, Wang Hao gave the woman in front of him an even higher look.
This girl seems to have an exceptionally high level of talent!
"I'll keep these martial arts techniques with me for now. After I've studied them, I'll forge a divine spear for you in two months."
After looking at the twenty sets of divine swords displayed in the corner, Wang Hao estimated that it would take him at least a month to forge a thousand sets of the Hard and Soft Divine Swords.
Although there are only a few hundred girls on Peach Blossom Island now, the number will definitely continue to expand in the future, so naturally more Divine Swords of Strength and Softness need to be forged.
This process also enhances his Explosive Force and forging skills. When he forges a divine spear for Zhou Xueyi, he will be able to do it more skillfully, and might even forge Ten-Thousand-Refined True Steel!
"By the way, take this secret technique and practice it. Once the injury on your arm has healed, quickly dissipate all the internal energy in your body and switch to cultivating external martial arts."
Wang Hao took out a manuscript from his clothes, which was Body Tempering True Scripture that he had specially transcribed for Zhou Xueyi. It was the version he had obtained from Elder Chu.
"..."
Zhou Xueyi was speechless as she took the manuscript containing the Body Tempering True Scripture.
How could you possibly come up with such a bizarre idea as to make a woman cripple her internal energy and switch to external martial arts?
The thought of those muscular, strong men in the martial arts world who practiced external martial arts made Zhou Xueyi shudder, and she almost couldn't resist throwing the paper in her hand at Wang Hao's face.
Is this something a human being would do?
"Don't misunderstand, cultivating external martial arts is only to guide you onto the path of the Qi Refinement of the pre-Qin period, which will allow you to go further in the future. Moreover, you won't always focus on cultivating external martial arts. Once you reach a certain level, you can cultivate Innate Qi within your body from the outside in."
Seeing Zhou Xueyi's unusual expression, Wang Hao could easily guess what she was thinking, and he began to explain and comfort her.
Hearing this, Zhou Xueyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't understand anything about Innate Qi, she was fine as long as she didn't turn into a muscular woman.
Otherwise, it would be too terrible!
