Chapter 25 Treatment of Geniuses Developed! With his head lowered, the blue light obscured his eyes, and Li Yuan almost cried out. Second-order hammer, four effects! Li Yuan was almost dazzled, and after a while he looked up at Zhang Ben, who had a complicated and dazed expression: "Master, what are you doing?" "Ah, no, it's nothing..." Zhang Ben turned around and looked at Li Yuan who was standing with a hammer in his hand, his heart still churning. "How did you choose this hammer?" There was no difference in the styles of forging hammers. He was able to pick his own hammer out of more than a hundred at first sight. This was really beyond his expectations. "I just like it by sight. I think this one is suitable. I weigh it and it fits my hand. So I choose it?"
Li Yuan didn't even blink, pretending to be surprised: "Could this hammer really be yours? What a coincidence?" "Yeah, what a coincidence." Zhang Ben shook his head and laughed: "Maybe we are destined to meet. You can pick the right hammer out of all these hammers. It's a great fate!" "Since we two are so compatible, then..." Li Yuan was filled with blessing, he put down the hammer and bowed: "If you don't mind, I'd like to learn the forging skills from you." Li Yuan climbed up the pole with a joking tone. He didn't expect the old man to agree, but he didn't expect Zhang Ben to really accept the greeting. Zhang Ben laughed and scolded: "You are a slippery boy, but if you want to become a disciple, there must be a banquet for you to become a disciple. How can you be so careless?" "Do you agree?" Li Yuan was also a little surprised. Judging from this master craftsman's hammer, the old man in front of us is probably the best at forging in the entire blacksmith shop. There are so many people like this who want to be his disciples but cannot find one. Is he ready to accept me as his disciple? The treatment of geniuses is really different. "We are so close, what's the use of teaching you two hands?" Old Zhang smiled. He was quite satisfied with the boy in front of him: "I'm already this old, it would be a waste to take my skills underground, right?" He has good talent and a quick mind. Naturally, he is delighted to meet such a good seedling before he gets old. "Thank you for your high regard!" Li Yuan put away his smile, bowed solemnly, and said respectfully: "Disciple will go home and prepare now, and ask brother and sister-in-law to come to my house and invite me tomorrow!" Art is not easily passed on. Li Yuan has deeply understood this in the past few months.
Selling oneself as an apprentice, doing odd jobs for three years and helping out for two years, this is the minimum, and this is just an apprenticeship. To truly become a disciple is not just a verbal statement. At the very least, parents have to come to the door to present the discipleship letter, and the discipleship gift and the discipleship banquet are all necessary. Zhang Ben didn't really care about it, but if it hadn't happened, his status as a disciple would have been worse, and others would have questioned whether he was sincere in accepting a disciple. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Go." "Yes!" Li Yuan bowed, picked up the hammer, went out, and hurried home. He doesn't want to let go of this hammer. "Wait, didn't Mr. Zhang say before that he would give me something?" After exiting the forge, Li Yuan finally calmed down when the wind blew. He was truly dizzy from the impact of the master craftsman's hammer. "Go home first and ask my second brother to prepare to become my disciple." Li Yuan didn't feel tired at all with the hammer weighing more than ten pounds. If he wasn't walking on the street, he would have wanted to try to control it right away. The second-level Master Craftsman's Hammer not only has four control effects, but each of them is better than the ones he had obtained before. However, he does not meet the conditions for control. "It is not possible to achieve a minor success in forging overnight, but as long as the Weapon Master is promoted, the problem will be solved." Li Yuan is very flexible in his thinking. The forging method is not necessarily easier to learn than martial arts, and it is impossible to achieve minor success overnight, but there is a hammer in the warehouse that has the effect of "minor success level forging method". As long as he could be promoted to the Military Commander Rank, he could instantly meet this seemingly harsh condition, and naturally, he didn't take it too seriously. "Perfection. According to the book, perfection, or great perfection, means that one has practiced a martial arts skill to an extremely profound level, but in essence, it should still be great success?" The new year had just passed and there were few pedestrians on the street. Li Yuan was immersed in thought. He wasn't quite sure. He had been exposed to too few martial arts, but at least this was the case with the Cloak Hammer and Scythe Techniques. After they were fully developed, it was a breakthrough in blood and energy. Gathering blood to generate strength is internal strength. "But, there must be something different about perfection, right?" Li Yuan felt itchy and couldn't bear it. After returning home, Li Lin learned that Li Yuan had entered the inner courtyard and was noticed by the master craftsman in the forging room. He was even more excited than him and immediately ran to find someone to write a letter of apprenticeship. Li Yuan took out ten taels of silver and handed them to his second sister-in-law. "Where did you get so much money, kid?" Wang Juan was shocked. "It was late last time, and I didn't have time to return the money to Qian Bao. Later, I heard that he had lost the IOU, so I kept it for myself." Li Yuan had already thought of an excuse:
"Mr. Zhang is the most experienced craftsman in the forging room. This apprenticeship banquet must not be too shabby. Sister-in-law, please don't refuse." Wang Juan was not a pretentious person and she accepted the money immediately. Li Yuan asked about Qin Xiong. "Qin Xiong?" Wang Juan thought about it and was not impressed: "You are talking about the thief from our former farmhand Qin's family, right? He is not a very decent person. You should stay away from him..." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly and felt relieved. …… …… Becoming a disciple is a very tedious matter. Even though Zhang Ben didn't care about it, the three members of the Li family were still busy for three full days. Zhang Ben was an old man in the weapon forging shop, so it was no small matter for him to accept an apprentice. The heads of all the courtyards in the weapon forging shop came, and Fatty Sun also came to give a gift. Of the three shopkeepers, Cao Yan did not come but he also presented gifts, and the other two shopkeepers accompanied the whole process. At the banquet, Qin Xiong, who had a gloomy face throughout the whole banquet, also came. He also gave a gift. At this moment, looking at Li Yuan accepting everyone's congratulations, he felt like he had swallowed a fly. Niu Gui was very envious. "Everyone, it's getting late, it's time to go home!" Zhang Ben yawned, and several big men from the forging room stood up to see him off. "Mr. Zhang, please rest early!" "Congratulations……" All the guests were a little drunk and staggered away. "Wang Hu, help clean up." Zhang Ben yawned and waved: "Li Yuan, help me back to my room." "You should rest early!" Wang Hu smiled. Li Yuan helped his master back to his room. The old man was easily sleepy and had drunk some wine, so he was really tired. "Close the door." Once back in the room, Zhang Ben became energetic again. "What are you doing?"
Li Yuan closed the door. "I talked to the second shopkeeper at the banquet and learned some things." Zhang Ben took a sip of tea: "Starting this year, the number of apprentices that can be recruited in each courtyard of the Weapon Forging Shop has increased several times, including the inner courtyard. I'm afraid there will be even more in the future..." "The Weapon Forging Shop is going to expand?" Li Yuan was not very interested. He was more interested in practicing martial arts than other trivial matters. "Expansion is one aspect, and the other aspect is related to the Divine Weapon Valley." Divine Weapon Valley? Li Yuan's heart trembled, because he had also learned the first of the five secrets of this family, the Military Dao Fighting and Killing Hammer. "You should know something about the reputation of the Divine Weapon Valley?" Zhang Ben glanced at his disciples. "The big sect in Zhelong Mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years and is very powerful. I heard that even the government has to give it some leeway..." Li Yuanzhen asked about it. "It's too shallow." Zhang Ben put down his teacup: "The Divine Weapon Valley has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Moreover, it is not that it is powerful, but, in Zhelong Mansion, it is the sky, the real sky!" "what?" Li Yuan didn't react: "What about the imperial court?" "In Zhelong Mansion, the imperial court cannot defeat the Divine Weapon Valley." Zhang Ben was very calm, as if this was something everyone knew: "Zhelong Prefecture, including the military commanders of more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, all came from the Divine Weapon Valley!" this? ! Li Yuan was stunned. What kind of imperial court would allow a sect to control all the armies in a city? Is this still a sect? Even kings and princes are not so arrogant! "The actions of the shop in the past few years are related to the Divine Weapon Valley." Zhang Ben pounded his waist, stood up and walked a few steps before looking at Li Yuan: "Next spring, the Divine Weapon Valley will open its gates. No matter your background, everyone can enter!"
