Chapter 951: Mythic-Level Weapons
Chapter 951: Mythic-Level Weapons
September 25, 2017
Lu Hai Kong's greatest concern at the moment was weapons.
His main battle weapons had been broken by the enemy during the previous battle against Dong Zhuo. Currently, Lu Hai Kong was without his primary weapons, but he was determined to find suitable replacements.
Obtaining a Mythic-level weapon, let alone a Legendary-grade weapon, was not a problem for Lu Hai Kong. However, he was not content with settling for just any weapon to face his upcoming opponents.
The 'Emperor's Tomb' instance was a challenge that Lu Hai Kong could not afford to fail. Therefore, every preparation he made must be flawless, and this included finding the right weapon.
Thus, before setting off, he decided to visit Yan Huang Shan Fortress.
Lu Hai Kong did not expect the old man, Gongsun, to forge a Mythic-level weapon, as this was nearly impossible. Even with Lu Hai Kong's current resources, he was not willing to settle for just any weapon.
To address this, Lu Hai Kong specifically went to Yan Huang Shan Fortress, not to have the old man, Gongsun, forge a Mythic-level weapon, but to have him repair the Wild Axe.
Forging a Mythic-level weapon was an extremely difficult task for Gongsun, but repairing the Wild Axe was not as challenging. Lu Hai Kong visited the fortress not only to have the Wild Axe repaired but also to chat with the old man.
According to Gongsun's estimation, with the help of another Master-level blacksmith, they would need at most three days to complete the repairs.
Lu Hai Kong was satisfied with this timeframe, and he immediately gave them the Wild Axe, asking them to work diligently.
While Gongsun and the other blacksmith were repairing the Wild Axe, Lu Hai Kong did not idle his time. He visited the Altar, spending some time there, and also chatted with a being who had already become an Alter.
Lu Hai Kong left the Altar after spending half a day there, and then went to the rear of Yan Huang Shan Fortress, or rather, Yan Huang City, to take a look.
Yan Huang City was an extremely important rear base for Lu Hai Kong, and logically speaking, the security of this place should be the top priority.
However, recently, Lu Hai Kong had continuously withdrawn the defensive forces of Yan Huang City, including Pan Feng's Iron Blood Guard, and the originally responsible Yan Huang City defense squad, led by Meng Chao, had also been reassigned.
At this time, the defense of Yan Huang City seemed extremely fragile, with only the Fire Word Camp remaining, along with a thousand-strong defense squad.
Such a defense appeared vulnerable and easily breachable.
But in reality, the security of Yan Huang City at this time was the most terrifying, as anyone daring to attack Yan Huang City would face a dire outcome.
The security of Yan Huang City at this time came from two aspects. One was the Guardian Beast that slept in the City Lord's Mansion, and the other was the Alter Legion.
Currently, the Guardian Beast in the City Lord's Mansion had entered its growth phase, not only in terms of restricted abilities but also in its own strength, and the Alter Legion's combat power was even more terrifying. Therefore, with the Guardian Beast and the Alter Legion, Yan Huang City was as solid as gold.
Lu Hai Kong, after offering incense at the Altar, took a stroll around the city, and chatted with the old man who had become an Alter.
Lu Hai Kong left the Altar after spending some time there, and then went to the rear of Yan Huang City to inspect the stables.
Yan Huang City's rear stables were also an extremely important building for Lu Hai Kong, as this place was not only brewing the Mythic Beast Plan but also the Mythic Legion Plan.
These two plans were still in their initial stages, with the Mythic Legion Plan already entering its important phase.
This plan, Lu Hai Kong had been working on for several years, and he had invested a significant amount of resources. As the plan's leader, Wang Shou, had also dedicated a lot of his heart and soul, and at this time, according to his estimation, with the help of another Master-level blacksmith, they would need at most a few months to complete the Mythic Beast Plan.
Lu Hai Kong was satisfied with this timeframe, and he immediately went to inspect the stables, to understand the basic situation of the stables and the surrounding area.
Lu Hai Kong spent several months' time in the stables, and finally, he was able to see the Mythic Beast Legion taking shape.
Lu Hai Kong, after inspecting the stables, also gained a deeper understanding of things he couldn't grasp from intelligence alone.
In the bustling city of Luoyang, a young man named Lu HaiKong found himself captivated by a peculiar stone called the "Phoenix Stone," which he had obtained from a treasure chest. Intrigued by its potential, Lu HaiKong sought out a master blacksmith to inquire about crafting a powerful mechanical beast using this stone.
After a day's journey, Lu HaiKong arrived at the Yan Huangshan Fortress, where he encountered a master blacksmith engaged in an intriguing research project. The blacksmith, named Xin Ping, was studying a mysterious object—a Phoenix Stone. Despite Xin Ping's efforts to explain the intricacies of their research, Lu HaiKong still found it all a bit overwhelming.
Eventually, Lu HaiKong decided to leave with a few finished products, and he stored a mechanical beast in his ring before departing. Upon his return to the city, he headed straight to the Blacksmith's Camp, where he found the master blacksmith, Xin Ping, exhausted and slumped over his workbench, alongside the legendary-grade Phoenix Stone that Lu HaiKong had entrusted to them for repairs.
As Lu HaiKong approached, Xin Ping and another master blacksmith put down their hammers and took a well-deserved rest. Lu HaiKong held the Phoenix Stone in his hand, and its radiance intensified.
"This Phoenix Stone can elevate equipment to the Mythic tier. I wonder if the Phoenix Axe will reach the Mythic level after this repair," Lu HaiKong mused aloud.
With that, Lu HaiKong firmly responded, and the Phoenix Stone in his hand glowed brilliantly.
"Do you wish to use the Phoenix Stone to enhance your Phoenix Axe?" the system inquired.
"Yes!" Lu HaiKong replied with conviction.
As Lu HaiKong spoke, the Phoenix Stone in his hand emitted a dazzling light. Simultaneously, Lu HaiKong channeled his inner power into the Phoenix Axe, causing a profound transformation.
This transformation was incredibly subtle yet profound. Lu HaiKong could sense that the materials within the Phoenix Axe seemed to undergo a metamorphosis, and a latent power seemed to awaken within the weapon. At that moment, Lu HaiKong felt a newfound connection with the Phoenix Axe, as if the axe and he were one, and he experienced a sense of lightness, as if the weight of the weapon had significantly diminished.
This was an inevitable outcome, given the limited time Lu HaiKong had provided to the blacksmiths. Nonetheless, achieving this level of craftsmanship in such a short time was already impressive.
And for Lu HaiKong, it was more than sufficient.
