LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 172: smithing pavilion
Yang Yuhua had just finished a three star mission with Long Ziyang and Ling Yuanxue when he was beaten to a pulp by Sect Head Jun.
Even more tragic was…
Xiao Zuiji had increased the difficulty of the boy’s training, making him train for 8 hours in the Muscle Molding Room.
After dawn, the boy wanted to sleep after eating breakfast, but was dragged into a football game by Su Xiaomo.
All the players listened to the sect head and once the game started, no one followed the rules of the game, aiming straight at Yang Yuhua instead of the goal.
Thus, Yang Yuhua was painstakingly forced into his position. Although the process was painful, his growth was remarkable.
Several days later, his physical body and response time had considerably improved.
Now, if Su Xiaomo or the others wanted to hit him, they’d have to add some strength to their kicks.
He was not the only one cultivating.
Under Li Qingyang’s lead, the ten mid-grade aptitude disciples ate Qi Gathering Pills and cultivated in the Spirit Gathering Array.
Lu Qianqian, Ye Xingchen and the others also followed their own cultivation plans.
As for the sect missions, from issuance until now, seven days had passed.
The first disciples completed them early and others followed one after another; more than 20 were completed now.
Jun Changxiao opened the data panel and the achievement value had increased from 100 to 200, the contribution value rising from 340 to 440.
Since there were still more missions to complete, the contribution value would definitely surpass the limit. Thus, he spent 100 points to buy two bottles of mid-grade transformation fluid for Tian Qi and Li Fei.
They had to continue to improve!
Gulp!
Tian Qi and Li Fei took the transformation fluid, their spirit roots upgrading from mid-grade to high-grade and entering Seventh Stage Martial Apprentice.
Hence, all seven inner gate disciples were at least high-grade aptitudes.
An eighth-grade sect having seven high-grade disciples — if this was passed to Jianghu, there would be great unrest!
In Vast Spirit Gate, Jun Changxiao had bought two bottles of transformation fluid. He then bought four more bottles, giving it to Su Xiaomo and the two others, so he still had three bottles left.
Who should they go to?
After thinking about it for a while, he called for Yang Yuhua and gave the boy one ordinary-grade and one mid-grade bottle.
Since this boy had a nice physical body, if his aptitude was upgraded, Jun Changxiao could definitely count on him to tank in Death Valley.
After Yang Yuhua drank the two bottles, his spirit root was upgraded to mid-grade and his cultivation reached Meridian Opening Stage Twelve. The boy was so shocked that he became dumb as a wooden chicken.
Seeing his aptitude and cultivation increase so suddenly, anyone else would be shocked beyond words too.
Jun Changxiao patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Cultivate well and do not disappoint this lord’s high hopes for you.”
Yang Yuhua woke up from his shock and loudly exclaimed, “Yes!”
The last bottle of ordinary-grade Aptitude Transformation Fluid was given to the shy Ling Yuanxue, first because she had been assiduously cultivating these past few days and second, because there weren’t many female sect members.
Everything was settled.
The rest of the time would be spent waiting for the disciples to finish all the sect missions, allowing achievement points to hit the limit and for sect construction to level up.
“Since Level 2 opened the Pill Refining Pavilion, which had the Healing Pill and Molding Pill… If I open the Smithing Pavilion, will I be able to make weapons?”
Jun Changxiao was filled with anticipation.
…
Seven days later.
The disciples completed all the sect missions and the achievement value hit the upper limit. It had to be said that it was pinpoint accurate, since it didn’t overshoot by even 1 point!
With 400 achievement points, he also gained 400 contribution points.
Since he didn’t want those to be erased, Jun Changxiao spent 180 points to buy a Type 88, an 8x scope, shoulder pads, and a silencer.
“Many thanks, Sect Head.”
Receiving the full set, Li Luoqiu was unable to put it down.
These days, she dutifully fulfilled all of her duties, so this could be considered a gift.
Jun Changxiao smiled, “This Invincible Might Cannon went through transformation and will no longer have sound when firing.”
“Is that so?”
Li Luoqiu took the Type 88 with her and went to the back side of the mountain.
Since she had fired a gun twice before, she knew that there was a kick-back and thus used the Modified Shoulder Pads.
Xiu, xiu!
Two silent shots rang out and two fruits on a nearby tree were destroyed.
This woman’s talent wasn’t any worse than Xiao Zuiji’s — actually, it was even better!
“There’s really no sound?” Li Luoqiu stared, eyes wide.
With a normal silencer, perhaps there was a sound. But with the Modified Silencer, there wasn’t even any murmur, taking sneak attacks to the next level!
Li Luoqiu immediately liked the weapon even more.
She almost wished to look for enemies right now, hiding near them and sniping them dead.
…
In the study room, Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together. He then clicked upon the user interface and next to the {Sect Construction: Level 2} was a {Upgrade} button.
Click!
[Ding! Sect Construction has been upgraded to Level 3!]
[Ding! Sect membership, contribution, and achievement value upper limits have been increased!]
[Ding! Sect Smithing Pavilion has been opened!]
As the notifications sounded, the data panel went through changes.
[Sect Name: Ironbone Unyielding Sect
Sect Leader: Jun Changxiao
Sect Rank: Eighth Grade
Sect Construction: Level 3
Sect Function(s): Medicine Refining Pavilion, Smithing Pavilion
Sect Technique(s): Tendon Altering Sutra {Divine Grade Elementary}, I Cut {Mid Grade Elementary}, Rupturing Fist {Ordinary Grade Advanced}
Sect Member(s): 500/1000
Sect Contribution: 450/1000
Sect Achievement: 0/1000
Sect Mission: Temporarily None
Sect Main Mission: In 100 years…]
…
“Hahaha, membership finally reached 1000!” Jun Changxiao smiled, but his face looked more like a laughing-crying face as he howled, “There’s only 99000 to go!”
1000 and 99000.
Yeah, the difference was not just ‘big’.
Still, no matter how you looked at it, upgrading to Level 3 Sect Construction was still another step forward and should be treated as a good thing.
Shua!
Jun Changxiao clicked on the Smithing Pavilion and a small panel sprang up, showing a 3D model of a smithing forge.
Below were three types of weapons: (1) Basic Cold Edge Sword, (2) Basic Tyrant King Spear, and (3) Basic Firm Iron Shield.
“Indeed, it’s similar to the Pill Refining Pavilion.”
Jun Changxiao joyfully said, “This Smithing Pavilion can also make the weapons found in the system store!”
Clicking on the Basic Cold Edge Sword, another panel opened which read:
[Weapon: Basic Cold Edge Sword
Material(s): Cold Iron 0/1 jin, Ice Spring Water 0/1 barrels
Fire Seed: Exquisite Flame]
“So few materials needed?” Jun Changxiao was shocked.
All of the pills needed 3 or 4 ingredients, but the Cold Edge Sword only needed 1 jin of cold iron and one bucket of Ice Spring Water — that was a little pitiful.
The system said: [Except for the high rank or special weapons, most will only need one type of ore.]
Jun Changxiao tapped his chin, muttering, “Cold Iron, it might be expensive.”
Saying that, he clicked on the Tyrant King Spear.
It was even simpler, needing 1 jin of obsidian.
After selecting the Firm Iron Shield, Jun Changxiao started to grin since it only needed iron ore!
Cold iron and obsidian were things he did not have, but he had tons of iron ore because when Li Luoqiu destroyed the Xiao Family’s mining tunnels, she conveniently brought as much as possible back. He currently had several hundred thousand liang (10 liang = 1 jin).
Based on the number above, he could make more than 1000 Firm Iron Shields!
Jun Changxiao said, “This type of ore is usually useless, so I should first make some shields and give them to the disciples.”
The system reminded: [Iron ore is an indispensable metal in smithing. It is suggested that the host saves some for later use.]
“Is that so?”
After Jun Changxiao pondered it for a moment, he said, “Then I’ll first make 25. That way, the disciples can at least use them when we head to Death Valley.”
