Chapter 21: Legendary Weapon: Nine-Five Red Brick
Editor: Hitesh_
Last night he did something bad, so Lin Fan felt a little sad within his heart. But this was only temporary. Upon exiting his house, Lin Fan’s heart sudden rose. Aside from the outer sect’s top ten geniuses holding some potential, the others were essentially nothing. But no matter how small the fly, it was still meat. Though they couldn’t provide 《Eternal Demon Body》 with any more experience points, they could still properly provide 《Monkey Steals Peach》 with some.
When Lin Fan arrived at the dining hall, he glanced about with his bright eyes, ‘I wonder what I might run into today. I am rather looking forward to it.’
“Oh.”
At this time, Lin Fan saw a situation up ahead, his heart leaping with joy as he waved towards his experience farm. Lin Fan quickened his pace, giving a shout,” My fellow two brothers, don’t argue. I will help you resolve the issue.” After hearing Lin Fan’s words, the two arguing disciples glanced over and became scared out of their wits.
“Hurry, it’s that guy. Recently, many fellow brothers have fallen to him.” The previously arguing two people at this point acted like friends that hadn’t seen each other in days. They grabbed each other by the shoulders and instantly retreated, not even bothering to wait for the calling Lin Fan and just hastily ran away.
“F*ck…” seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Fan became speechless, ‘What’s with them?’ Lin Fan sighed while shaking his head. This situation had caught him totally off guard. But Lin Fan’s heart was very strong, one failure wouldn’t be able to stop his advance. Lin Fan ran forward once again, looking for more opportunities.
Though the outer sect disciple’s area was rather peaceful, arguments and fights still would break out quite often. So Lin Fan wasn’t afraid that he would have nothing to do. Currently, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up again as he bounded forth, but this time, Lin Fan played it smart and waited until he was in front of the two people before asking.
But then something that made Lin Fan feel a bit hurt happened. The two people’s expression immediately changed after seeing Lin Fan, as if they had just met a ghost.
“Crazy Peach Stealing Demon…”
The disciples blurted out but immediately closed their mouth in fear, as if they had done something bad, and without another care instantly ran away. The previously excited Lin Fan couldn’t help but have his expression changed upon hearing those words, displaying a bit of disbelief.
‘Crazy Peach Stealing Demon? Are those guys talking about me?’
“You…” Lin Fan’s heart jumped with joy. How long had he been in the outer sect? ‘I now finally have obtained a nickname! Crazy Peach Stealing Demon, not bad, not bad!’ Just like that, whenever Lin Fan called out to the other party, they would always run away as if they had seen a ghost. Lin Fan also felt a bit helpless, did his reputation perhaps really become this bad in the outer sect?
‘This doesn’t make sense… this doesn’t make any sense at all.’
…
Later on that day, the previously excited Lin Fan was feeling utterly helpless. When the outer sect disciples saw him, they would always react like they saw a ghost. One glimpse at him and they would immediately run away. When other disciples saw him, their already calm expressions would become even more cautious, as if they were afraid their peaches would also be stolen.
Lin Fan sighed. It looked like the methods he came up with wouldn’t work on those outer sect disciples anymore.
He would need to change his strategy from now on. Lin Fan then suddenly remembered the outer sect’s top ten geniuses. It seemed there was a need to go investigate them. ‘These outer sect’s top ten geniuses, if their cultivation base was too high, then 《Eternal Demon Body》 might not be able to withstand against them. I need to take this slowly.’ If he could do it, then it would definitely be another wave of mockery.
…
At night...
Lin Fan stealthily sneaked outside. Since the sect’s disciples had already gone to sleep, the outside was empty, which allowed Lin Fan to begin his path of forging. During the morning, Lin Fan thought of a problem. This profession perhaps had something to do with the material he exchanged. After all, how could a legendary weapon be formed with something like a single brick?
So Lin Fan decided to experiment on this tomorrow. For tonight, he would just use these bricks to level up his blacksmith profession that was already level seven. Just a bit more effort tonight and he might be able to raise it to level eight. Lin Fan came to an unnamed disciple’s house and made a promise that tonight he would definitely be careful and only dismantle the wall, not the entire house.
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting broken tile piece, experience + 1.’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a pile of useless clay, experience + 1.’
…
The experience increased little by little as usual. The material was still just tile pieces or clay, but Lin Fan had already relaxed his heart. It was most likely what he thought of earlier about how trash material couldn’t be used to craft anything good.
The night sky was exquisite and the surroundings quiet, as Lin Fan worked away like a diligent little honey bee. One brick after another was tossed into the furnace. Once one side of the wall was dismantled, Lin Fan would switch to another.
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting broken tile piece, experience + 1.’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting broken tile piece, experience + 1.’
…
Once the sky started becoming brighter, Lin Fan would then stopped and quietly left. Tonight’s speed was not bad, he had dismantled four walls. His blacksmith profession had already reached level nine, and the distance to leveling up again was quite short.
Just when he was leaving, Lin Fan picked up the last brick, preparing to call it a night. Although profession might not seem like an important thing, Lin Fan had played games before, so he understood that professions were one of the most powerful existences. If he were able to raise it to the strongest level, then it would become something that could easily wipe the whole field clean.
Lin Fan then threw the last brick into the furnace, not really paying any attention to it and prepared to leave. He understood that it would most likely just be another broken tile piece.
‘Ding… congratulations crafted Legendary Weapon ”Nine-Five Red Brick.”’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting Legendary Weapon, blacksmith rank + 1.’
‘Ding… congratulations, blacksmith upgraded to advanced blacksmith.’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting Legendary Weapon, character experience + eight million.’
‘Ding… congratulations on unlocking character storage space.’
…
Lin fan, who was preparing to leave, heard this notification and completely froze up.
‘F*ck…jackpot!’
Lin Fan couldn’t believe this moment as if he were in a dream. He had already long given up on the bricks. After all, one would never be able to craft a diamond from a pile of clay. They were in two completely different categories.
But Lin Fan became very excited at this moment. Just how many days, just how many bricks had he destroyed, and right at the moment he was prepared to return, a legendary weapon appeared. What was with this concept? This was God finally rewarding him.
Lin Fan didn’t think anything more and suppressed his excitement. He then began running, after all, he needed to return back and carefully inspect this. If he were to be caught here by some outer sect disciples, it would be difficult to explain.
Inside the house, Lin Fan immediately closed the doors and then excitedly lied down on his bed.m
The blacksmith profession had a total of ten levels and had now upgraded to advance blacksmith. At the same time, it also gave him eight million experience points. The experience he obtained from crafting a legendary weapon was even more than the time he consumed the “Supreme pill.” This was completely unbelievable for Lin Fan.
If it had just given one million more experience points, he would have broken through to the postcelestial stage. Once one attained postcelestial, they would have formally entered the path of cultivation. All the things one considered impossible before would become possible after entering the postcelestial stage.
According to hi, this character storage space was similar to the inventory spaces within games, and could be used to store things and such. Lin Fan felt that these were all good stuff. He rubbed his hands and began carefully inspecting the legendary weapon.
Chapter 22: A Weapon Salesman is About to be Born
Editor: Hitesh_
‘Nine-Five Red Brick” … length nine centimeters, width five centimeters, overall usage: the basic building structure for houses.’
Rank: Legendary Weapon.
Effects: One brick in hand can dominate the entire world, able to ignore all defensive capabilities. One hit on the head will 100% guarantee knockout for one minute, can repeatedly be used, not effective on other parts of the body.
Description: this is a violation of equivalent forging, a legendary weapon that should be impossible to craft.
Lin Fan was currently at a loss. Although this legendary weapon wasn’t particularly on the strong side, its effects were way too fabulous. Just one smack on the head and 100% guaranteed knockout, and it could even be used repeatedly. This basically meant that in the future, if any unlucky fellow were to be smacked on the head by him, unless he stopped, the other person would never wake up.
'Especially the part about ignoring all defensive capabilities, even if the world’s scariest person were to show up in front of me, just one smack on the head and he would be at the mercy of Yours Truly.’
‘Strong! Way too strong!’
It was strong to the point where Lin Fan nearly wet himself. Lin Fan was a person with a high amount of curiosity. He had to test out the power of this brick for himself to see if it truly could ignore all defenses.
His defensive power was already unusually high, so he wondered what would happen if he smacked himself on the head with it. Although this was seemingly stupid, Lin Fan had to experience it himself so he could get an accurate measure of its capabilities.
‘Let’s do it,’ Lin Fan held the Nine-Five red brick up, judging the power and area, then clenched his teeth as he smacked it onto his own head. The instant the 95 red brick touched his head, Lin Fan felt as if he had heard something then went unconscious and collapsed onto the floor with a thud.
The last thought Lin Fan had in mind was, ‘This legendary weapon really deserves to be called a legendary weapon! Definitely impressive!’
…
A minute later…
Lin Fan woke up and rubbed his head. There was no pain and just as the effects said, one smack on the head and guaranteed knockout.
“Hm…where’s my legendary weapon?” Lin Fan looked around for his nine-five red brick but realized that it had suddenly disappeared. This gave Lin Fan quite a scare, ‘His hard-earned legendary weapon didn’t just disappear from just that, did it?’ It was then that Lin Fan felt a brick within his bag and gave a sigh of relief.
It turned out the nine-five brick had automatically returned to its bag. What a scary moment! Since Lin Fan tested it out, he could confirm that the nine-five brick didn’t’ cause any harm towards the person, but a smack on the head and one would definitely faint.
Lin Fan understood that for an expert what a minute of knockout could entail. Within a minute, one would’ve probably been killed hundreds of times already.
But Lin Fan was troubled, ‘Although this nine-five brick is strong, who would be stupid enough to stand there and let you smack them? It looks like there is a need to think this one over.’ But to be able to craft a legendary weapon from a normal brick, this only made Lin Fan feel very satisfied. This was basically the feeling of achievement, just like obtaining a legendary drop from killing a lowbie(it’s a type of character).
Lin Fan was euphoric and full of spirit, ‘This kind of refreshing feeling is the best.’Although he hadn’t slept for an entire night, for a hardworking person like Lin Fan, sleep meant nothing. Since time was limited, he needed to make use of every second. Lin Fan now understood that the profession skill normally required equal exchange and would then craft raw materials into finished products. The final product would be better and also at the same time there would also be a slight chance of a legendary weapon appearing.
As for how much the probability was, needless to say, it was most likely tough. Lin Fan then flipped through his drawers to see if there was anything good within his room. As long as it was metal, Lin Fan would take it.
After scavenging around for a bit, Lin Fan then placed all the scraps of metal he had gathered on the table. Although it wasn’t much, Lin Fan still wanted to see just what could be crafted. Lin Fan directly tossed all the materials he gathered into the furnace.
‘Ding… discovered small amounts of craftable materials can craft three weapons, please choose the type.’
‘Great swords, swords, axes, maces, daggers…’
Lin Fan looked through the types, and at the very least it ranged in the hundreds. Just looking at it was overwhelming. Luckily, there was another option in the back, random production. Without any hesitation, Lin Fan directly started random production; since these weapons were something he was just preparing to sell to the outer sect disciples.
Lin Fan trusted his blacksmith rank. Since he had already reached advanced blacksmith level, who knew maybe he might even be a master? It wasn’t that Lin Fan underestimated those outer sect blacksmiths, their knowledge was immense, but the weapons they forged to a normal person were only slightly above average.
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a low-grade sword, profession experience + 100.’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a low-grade mace, profession experience + 100.’
‘Ding… congratulations on crafting a low-grade great sword, profession experience + 100.’
Lin Fan was full of joy. He was an advanced blacksmith after all. Even these scraps of metal could be crafted into low-grade weapons by him. Wasn’t this quite impressive?
According to Lin Fan’s knowledge, the weapons the outer sect disciples possessed were all made by the outer sect blacksmith. The materials used were all high-quality metals, so compared to the scraps of metal Lin Fan used, they were far better. Yet, the weapons crafted weren’t even graded weapons.
To the dynasties outside, the weapons crafted by these blacksmiths might be considered legendary, but for people on the path of cultivation, these weapons were mere trash. To be more general, all non-graded weapons were complete trash.
At this moment, Lin Fan remembered that the weapon senior brother Yin used was a sword. He then immediately grabbed a sword and ran towards the house of Yin Mo Chen.
‘Bang Bang!’
“Senior brother Yin, open the door.”
Currently, Yin Mo Chen, who had just awakened, smiled upon seeing the one who was knocking while saying, “Junior brother Lin, you sure woke up early today.” For Yin Mo Chen seeing junior brother Lin up this early was indeed actually a first.
“Senior brother Yin, where’s your weapon?” Lin Fan asked. “Over there.” Yin Mo Chen was puzzled as to why junior brother Lin asked this. But he still gave a truthful reply.
All the outer sect disciples obtained their weapons from the outer sect blacksmith. Although they were all non-graded weapons, for outer sect disciples, they were more than enough. After all, graded weapons were rare treasures. Unless the sect rewarded one or a disciple provided his own materials, it was impossible to attain one.
“Junior brother, what’s with all the hurry?” Yin Mo Chen asked in puzzlement. Lin Fan didn’t reply and instantly rushed in. He drew out senior brother Yin’s sword and clashed it together with the sword he crafted.
‘Clang!’
Just like Lin Fan expected, senior brother Yin’s sword was sliced into two pieces. Lin Fan tested out its feel which was like slicing through clay. Senior brother Yin’s sword felt like clay and offered no resistance.
The puzzled senior brother Yin instantly collapsed to his knees upon seeing the current scene. At this time, Lin Fan was utterly delighted, “Senior brother, I will give this sword to you. In return, I will be taking these scraps of metal.” Lin Fan then tossed the sword he had just crafted to senior brother Yin, then grabbed the two broken pieces of senior brother Yin’s sword before hastily retreating.
Yin Mo Chen watched Lin Fan dumbfoundedly, ‘How was junior brother Lin’s sword that strong?’ He then carefully inspected the sword junior brother Lin had tossed to him and instantly gasped.
Shining sharply, this was a low-grade sword…
“Junior brother…” Yin Mo Chen immediately came back to himself. Such a precious weapon, how could junior brother give this to him? But when Yin Mo Chen chased after him, he saw junior brother Lin close the door with a slam and from inside a few words travel out.
“Senior brother, don’t disturb me. I am very busy right now.”
