Chapter 2156 Cold Iron (Seventh)

Chu Li cupped his fists and saluted, watching them quietly.

After a while, the four youths finished their meal and looked up at him.

They looked up and down, as if Chu Li was something rare, with compassion in their eyes, and shook their heads.

Chu Li clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My servant, Wu Yuansi, is a new registered disciple."

"Wu Yuansi." A thin young man nodded and said in a friendly manner, "Are you also a registered disciple of Jianjian Hall?"

"Exactly." Chu Li nodded and said, "I just met Hall Master Hu."

"Alas..." the skinny young man sighed, "You entered the wrong hall. Although Sword Forging Hall is the easiest to enter, it is also the easiest to be eliminated. I'm afraid there are not many of us who can really stay."

Chu Li showed a puzzled look: "I haven't asked the names of the senior brothers yet."

The skinny young man sighed: "My name is Liang Xingbang, this is Yu Zangcai, this is Zou Dehou, and this is Guan Tongqing."

Pointing to the other three people one by one, he introduced: "Why do you want to enter the Sword Forging Hall?"

Chu Li said: "Uncle Shi recommended him, so he is in Jianjian Hall."

"Who?" Liang Xingbang asked.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Zhu Lengying."

"It turned out to be Brother Zhu." All four of them suddenly realized.

They also didn't pay much attention to Chu Li, because Zhu Lengying was really not a big shot, and had a miserable life. Although they had a high seniority, as long as they became real disciples, they would soon surpass him.

Chu Li said: "I think everyone seems to be very tired."

The four were in a mess like dogs, devouring their meals like they hadn't eaten for a few days. Obviously, Wan Jiancheng would not be short of food, it could only be because they were too tired and consumed too much.

"Alas..." Liang Xingbang shook his head and said with emotion: "Our registered disciples are like donkeys. They are driven desperately, and they are almost deprived of life."

"The four of us are pretty good." Guan Tongqing, another thin man, shook his head and said, "Some of them are so tired that they vomit blood."

Chu Li was speechless.

Liang Xingbang said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will know what it's like, newcomers will not be spared, and you won't be given time to adapt, just work hard, I advise you to go to bed early today."

Chu Li clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you, Brother Liang."

"Forget it, we don't know if there will be a brother or not." Liang Xingbang waved his hand and said, "Persist for two years, it really feels like a year, if it goes on like this, I really can't hold it."

"Brother Liang, hold on again." Guan Tongqing encouraged.

The other two talked very little, and they felt a little sleepy after eating, and they were in a daze, as if they were listening to what they were saying, but they didn't seem to be listening.

"Okay, go back to sleep quickly." Liang Xingbang sighed, "I have to get up early tomorrow."

Everyone got up and walked back, each went back to their own courtyard, threw themselves on the couch in the bedroom, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Chu Li sat in his courtyard and watched the situation of these four people.

They all have a body of cultivation. Although they are not profound, they are not weak. They can be considered masters, but they still look so tired. Obviously, it is not easy to be a registered disciple of Jianjian Hall.

However, he has a deep understanding of the tyranny of his body, so he is not too worried, but he has some doubts that if he continues like this, he can really get the Nine Swords?

It seems that I am one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Nine Swords, far away.

But the matter has come to this point, we still have to wait and see, we need to be patient, maybe the opportunity will suddenly come.

The next morning, not long after he woke up, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Li hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and there was a middle-aged man standing outside, with a handsome appearance, and he cupped his fists in a gentle manner: "But Wu Yuansi, the registered disciple?"

Chu Li cupped his fists and saluted: "Exactly."

"Okay, you follow Liang Xingbang and the others to act together today." The middle-aged man said softly, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."

Chu Li said: "I haven't asked seniors yet, what should I do today?"

"My surname is Gu." The middle-aged man said gently, "Gu Jiu."

Chu Li hurriedly clasped his fists: "Brother Gu."

Gu Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You guys are going to move iron and stone today."

"Yes." Chu Li clasped his fists and nodded.

"Let's go." Gu Jiu said.

Chu Li followed him out of the small courtyard, and Liang Xingbang and four people were already standing outside. They all looked like they were not awake, yawning, and when they saw Gu Jiu coming out, they quickly shut up and looked at Chu Li with pity.

Chu Li smiled and hugged them.

Liang Xingbang said: "There is no need to be too polite, Junior Brother Wu, there is no need to be like this between us."

Chu Li nodded.

They followed Gu Jiu to the outside, then left the outer city, and walked southward until they finally came to a giant mountain, then bypassed a mountain, and entered the depths of the nearby valley.

He knew from a distance that the valley was covered by a formation, and it was difficult for others to see the valley, and they could not enter the valley. They followed Gu Jiu on a strange path, and finally entered the valley.

As soon as you step into the valley, there are "ding ding" sounds in your ears, one after another, continuous.

In the depths of the valley stood a tall furnace, about ten meters high and five meters in diameter.

I felt the scorching heat from a long distance away, and the steaming heat seemed to heat up the entire valley, and the valley became a furnace.

Beside the tall furnace, burly men were wielding huge hammers, jingling the hammers against the fiery red iron blocks.

Chu Li used the big round mirror to observe wisely. There are nine high-speed furnaces inside, eighteen big men swinging hammers, and next to each is a man with a red iron block. Then there is a stone cave deep in the valley, and there are basketballs all over the place. Large and small iron stones were moved out and piled up next to the blast furnace one by one.

Chu Li looked at the people who moved the iron and stone, and they were all struggling, but the spherical iron and stone they moved did not seem to be heavy.

Da Yuanjing poked inside wisely, and saw that the rocks were extremely compact, much tighter than ordinary iron.

Gu Jiu turned to look at the five people, and said gently: "Everyone knows what to do, Xingbang, take care of Junior Brother Wu, he is new here, he doesn't know what to do, what to do."

"Yes, Senior Brother Gu." Liang Xingbang nodded hurriedly.

Gu Jiu waved his hand to signal them to go over, and he went to the side to find a middle-aged man who was hammering iron, and talked to him.

Chu Li followed Liang Xingbang and the others to the cave.

The cave is so wide that three carriages can run side by side. The icy cold inside and the scorching heat of the valley are like two worlds, one is summer and the other is winter, but the cold air comes from the iron blocks held by the people passing by.

"This is cold iron." Liang Xingbang said in a low voice, "It is a layer higher than meteorite, and it can be cast into a sword."

Chu Li was surprised: "Isn't the cold iron coming from the bottom of the sea?"

"That's right, this used to be the bottom of the sea, but now it's a mountain peak." Liang Xingbang said, "You should know about the vicissitudes of the sea, right?"

Chu Li suddenly nodded.

"Let's go, don't be lazy, otherwise there will be a demerit, and there is no hope of becoming a true disciple in the future." Liang Xingbang said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you are weak, as long as you do your best, laziness is a big taboo, you have to go all out and exhaust yourself to the limit , can improve the body and lay the foundation for becoming a true disciple in the future."

Chu Li said: "Thank you, Brother Liang."

Liang Xingbang nodded, the five of them walked deeper and deeper into the cave, and the cold became more severe, white air was already coming out of their mouths.
