Chapter 154: 113 thousand jin_2

He inquired around.

Unfortunately, no one had hunted a Third Level Exotic Beast in the past few days.

Fang Zhixing was not in a rush, though. He spent some money to bribe a manager to help keep an eye out for him.

Afterward, he checked into an inn, reclined leisurely in a chair, and leisurely flipped through the Saber Manual page by page.

He waited like this for two days.

In the evening, the camp suddenly bustled with activity.

Someone had hunted down a Third Level Exotic Beast, causing a great commotion, and people flocked to see.

The manager quickly ran to notify Fang Zhixing.

"Good!"

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and hurried over, immediately witnessing a spectacular scene.

Hundreds of people pulled a massive beast, over twelve meters long, from the Restricted Area.

"That’s a Swamp White Rhinoceros!"

Fang Zhixing recognized it at a glance, indeed a Third Level Exotic Beast.

The Swamp White Rhinoceros prefers to live in the water.

Truth be told, such aquatic exotic beasts are usually quite difficult to hunt.

The manager went to inquire and came back to tell Fang Zhixing, "The expert who hunted down this Swamp White Rhinoceros is a young master from the Ruan Family."

"The Ruan Family?" Fang Zhixing frowned slightly.

The manager explained in detail, "Families of nobility vary in size. In Dan State, there are only four major noble families.

But beneath the major noble families, there are many vassal families, who are either retainers or serfs, also known as minor noble families.

The Ruan Family is one such vassal to the Luo Family, a relatively strong and populous minor noble family."

Fang Zhixing understood and nodded, saying, "Go ask, I want to buy one hundred catties of Third Level Exotic Beast Meat."

The manager immediately went to ask, and after a bit of negotiation, came back and said with a smile, "It’s done, but they want to sell it at market price."

Market price includes transportation costs and storage fees.

Selling at market price was clearly unfair to Fang Zhixing.

"No matter, I’ll buy it!"

Fang Zhixing was wealthy and didn’t care about the money.

Soon, he bought a piece of upper-grade shoulder meat, trimmed away the sinew, and it weighed exactly one hundred catties.

"Collect!"

Fang Zhixing took it back to his room at the inn. With a thought, the piece of shoulder meat rapidly withered away, turning to ashes.

[1, Read the contents of the Cultivation Technique 3 times (Completed)]

[4, One hundred catties of Third Level Exotic Beast Meat (Completed)]

"Good!"

Fang Zhixing smiled in satisfaction, then checked out of the inn, left the Firefly Restricted Area, and headed back to Chizhu Town.

There was a blacksmith shop in town.

As it happened, the owner was the same old man who had gone to buy liquor at the small tavern that day, his surname was Lin.

The blacksmith shop was his, but he was no longer able to run it, so he left it in the hands of his two sons.

"Hero Fang, what brings you here?" The old man was overjoyed and warmly welcomed him.

His two sons were also incredibly respectful.

If it hadn’t been for Fang Zhixing destroying the Seven Evils Manor that exploited them, their family would never have made it through this harsh winter.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "Old man, I want to forge a Heavy Blade, one that weighs a thousand catties."

The old man’s face changed, and he said with difficulty, "This is just a small blacksmith shop. We usually make kitchen knives and farming tools; we’ve never forged such a large weapon."

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "No worries, I also know a bit about Forging Skill. You just need to prepare the materials for me, and I can pay you upfront."

"Oh, you know how to forge too?!"

The old man was surprised and after pondering, he said thoughtfully, "A thousand catty Heavy Blade, that will need a lot of materials, and since you are forging a weapon, the materials must be of good quality."

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Of course, the higher the grade of the material, the better."

In fact, Full Level Condition 2 only required forging a Heavy Blade weighing a thousand catties, without demanding the quality of the materials.

Even if inferior materials were used, the task would probably still be completed.

Of course, since Fang Zhixing intended to use the blade himself, there was no need to exploit that loophole.

"I have an idea!"

Suddenly, the old man slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "How about Meteorite Iron?"

Fang Zhixing blinked in surprise, asking, "Meteorite Iron is at least Second Level material, do you have it here?"

The old man replied, "Not here."

He pointed towards Red Pearl Lake, "In the lake! A few years ago, a Meteorite fell into the lake, not far from the shore. I tried to recover it, but the Meteorite was too heavy."

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help feeling overjoyed.

A short while later, he and the old man rode to the lakeside on horses.

The old man dismounted, looked around, and after a brief moment, he walked to a large tree by the lake and touched the marks on the tree bark.

"Hmm, it should be right here."

The old man turned around, glanced at the lake, and pointed in a direction, "Follow the direction I’m pointing about fifteen meters out, and the meteorite should be buried in the silt."

Fang Zhixing understood, stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the icy lake water.

He swam forward for about ten meters, took a deep breath, held it in, then dove down, his eyes scanning around.

The water was crystal clear, and there weren’t many aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, as it was the dead of winter.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing’s pupils contracted as he spotted a large, protruding rock, half-exposed above the silt.

He immediately swam over, swept away the silt and weeds on top, revealing a pockmarked surface.

"Found it!"

Fang Zhixing, invigorated, quickly surfaced for air and then dove back down to the bottom of the lake.

Using both hands, he embraced the meteorite; his muscles bulged violently, and his entire body inflated like a muscle monster.

The explosive force of over sixty thousand pounds suddenly erupted, slowly lifting the meteorite.

Fang Zhixing, holding the meteorite, walked along the bottom of the lake, step by step toward the shore.

Splash~

Shortly thereafter, Fang Zhixing emerged on shore in one breath, before finally setting down the meteorite.

"Powerful as a god, truly incredible!"

The old man was utterly astounded, filled with admiration.

He still remembered the time when he gathered more than twenty strong men from the town to retrieve the meteorite from the water, but they returned empty-handed.

He never imagined that Fang Zhixing alone could lift such a heavy meteorite.

Fang Zhixing smiled satisfactorily, "This meteorite must weigh at least forty thousand pounds. After removing the impurities, we should be able to keep a few thousand pounds of meteorite iron, which is enough for my use."

The old man said excitedly, "Well, that’s wonderful! I have a big furnace in my shop that hasn’t been used for a long time. It would be perfect for smelting this meteorite."

"Great!" Fang Zhixing caught his breath and, carrying the large meteorite, headed toward Chizhu Town.

They walked a stretch, then rested briefly.

About twenty minutes later, the two returned to the blacksmith shop.

The old man called his two sons to carry out the large furnace and, regardless of the cost, started feeding it with charcoal to begin the smelting of the meteorite.

Eight days passed in this endeavor!

The meteorite finally began to melt bit by bit, was poured out, and solidified into lumps of a yellow-brown color, extremely hard.

Fang Zhixing carefully inspected it and felt that the quality of this meteorite iron was extraordinary, possibly reaching Second Level Upper Grade.

And it was at the moment his hand touched the meteorite iron!

The System Panel suddenly flashed with light!

[Meteorite Iron: Second Level Material, 3894 pounds.]

[Forging Goal: Heavy Blade]

[Heavy Blade Full Level Conditions:

1, Meteorite Iron 1200 pounds (complete)

2, First Level Blade (prepared, complete?)

3, Use natural borax to heat the blade for over half an hour (incomplete)]

Fang Zhixing’s eyes narrowed slightly, his mood instantly very pleased.

Goodness me!

The Full Level Cheats were so caring, directly providing the design scheme.

He stood up and asked the old man’s eldest son, "Do you have borax?"

The eldest son responded promptly, "Yes!"

Borax is one of the common auxiliary materials used in forging. Not only can it reduce the hardness and brittleness of metals, but it can also improve their plasticity and toughness.

Fang Zhixing walked over to the forging table, selected a decent blade, threw it into the fire, and then poured in a suitable amount of borax.

Next, he took out some small change and handed it to the old man, laughing, "Old man, you and your sons have worked hard these past few days. Take them to the small tavern for a good meal, on me."

The old man immediately said joyfully, "Well, thank you, Hero Fang."

And so, Fang Zhixing sent everyone from the blacksmith shop away, sitting alone in front of the furnace, waiting.

The time quickly approached!

[Conditions for upgrading to Second Level Heavy Blade Full Level have been met, upgrade now?]

"Yes!"

Fang Zhixing did not hesitate, his mind flashing.
