124: Shit stirrer

Upon reaching the rock cave, Wei Xun immediately gathered electric light at his fingertips to illuminate the surroundings.

Only then did he discover that this underground rock cave was not very large.

However, there were quite a few fiery red stones on the side of the rock cave.

Wei Xun walked forward and touched these stones with his hand, and sure enough, they were slightly warm.

According to the Ming Mountain Daoist's description, these stones should be the Sulfur Flame Stones he wanted.

So Wei Xun put all these stones into his Storage Ring; for those deeply embedded in the mud, Wei Xun even specifically brought the ring that could control earth and stone to extract all the Sulfur Flame Stones from the rock cave and pack them all up.

After finishing this, Wei Xun was just about to leave the underground.

At this moment, Wei Xun felt that the Myriad Treasure Pagoda in his Cloud-Turning Hand space seemed to be stirring, so he immediately took the pagoda out with a flip of his palm.

Only then did he realize that it was actually the second floor of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda that was glowing faintly.

Wei Xun had never seen such a situation, so he touched the glowing part of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda's second floor with his finger.

As his finger touched it, Wei Xun was surprised to find that he could directly communicate with the burly blacksmith in the second-floor pagoda.

"Little brother, there's iron Ore in this cave!"

Hearing the burly blacksmith's words, Wei Xun looked around in surprise.

Sure enough, in the corner directly behind where he had just collected the Sulfur Flame Stones, there was a pile of dark black Ore.

Wei Xun walked forward and touched it with his hand, finding that it felt like metal.

"What is this thing?" Wei Xun asked curiously.

"This thing should be an iron Ore called Primordial Iron," the burly blacksmith's voice came from the pagoda. "Although it's not some Advanced forging Materials, it's good enough to keep me entertained and for forging things."

Hearing this, Wei Xun immediately became interested: "If I bring these things in for you, can you forge a weapon for me?"

"A weapon?" The burly blacksmith pondered for a moment before saying, "Things forged from this iron can barely be considered weapons."

"Alright!" Wei Xun immediately nodded, "Then I'll get them all out for you now."

After Wei Xun finished speaking, he began mining with the ring that controlled earth and stone, and his efficiency was very high.

In no time, he had extracted several large piles of the Primordial Iron.

Originally, Wei Xun planned to put all this iron into his ring first, and then bring it into the pagoda himself.

But the burly blacksmith said, "Now that you have my permission, these things can be directly loaded into the second floor."

Hearing the burly blacksmith's words, Wei Xun had no choice but to immediately try using the Storage Magic Treasure method to load those Primordial Iron Ores.

Unexpectedly, he really managed to load all these iron Ores into the pagoda.

After all this, Wei Xun took a deep breath, then drilled back up from underground in one go, returning to the surface.

His trip was not in vain.

Although drawing the Danqing Talisman consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi, the harvest was great.

Not only did he obtain the rare Material, Sulfur Flame Stone, that he lacked, but he also found a pile of iron Ore.

Then Wei Xun found a secluded mountain hollow nearby, and as usual, had Si Niang stand guard while he again used the Dream Soul Travel Technique to enter the treasure pagoda.

Ignoring the old man playing chess on the first floor, Wei Xun went directly to the second floor.

At this time, Wei Xun found that the burly blacksmith was already waiting.

"Give me back my hammer first!" The burly blacksmith reached out to Wei Xun, asking for it.

Having obtained the burly blacksmith's permission, Wei Xun could now take things out of the ring using only his Soul body.

After returning the iron hammer, the burly blacksmith began his work.

He started smelting the iron Ores he had just obtained.

"What kind of weapon do you want to forge!" The burly blacksmith asked Wei Xun.

"Let me think!" Wei Xun pinched his chin and thought carefully for a while.

The Yao King of Lingtao Mountain was a macaque spirit.

Wei Xun easily thought of his childhood idol, the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

At that time, Sun Wukong was also troubled by the lack of a suitable weapon, and was only satisfied after finding the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in the Dragon Palace.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun said to the burly blacksmith, "Brother, why don't you help me forge a staff, a heavy one."

Hearing Wei Xun's request, the burly blacksmith nodded slightly: "Speaking of forging a staff with this iron, I do recall that a long time ago I also forged a staff with this iron."

"Is that so?" Wei Xun was a little curious after hearing this.

"Mm!" The burly blacksmith nodded and said, "At that time, I was entrusted by a Sect Elder to forge a shit-stirring stick for their Sect!"

"A shit-stirring stick?" Wei Xun was momentarily stunned when he heard this.

"Yes!" The blacksmith nodded very seriously, seemingly not joking.

"Why would you forge something like a shit-stirring stick?" Wei Xun expressed his incomprehension.

The blacksmith chuckled after hearing this, and then began to explain: "That Sect was one that primarily raised Yao Beasts; if I remember correctly, it seemed to be called the Thousand Spirit Sect!"

"What does that have to do with a shit-stirring stick?" Wei Xun asked again.

"The Yao Beasts they raise make them discharge all their feces into a large pit!" The burly blacksmith continued, "Then these feces can also be used to plant Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines."

"Due to the accumulation over time, if the manure pit is not frequently stirred, it will become compacted and lose its function of irrigating Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines!"

After hearing the burly blacksmith's explanation, Wei Xun was speechless.

He hadn't expected that in this world, the method of planting Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines was similar to planting vegetables.

Wei Xun shook his head, not thinking about other things, but instead asked, "How long will it take to forge this staff?"

"This iron has too many Impurities; removing them will take a lot of time!" The burly blacksmith estimated, "At least seven days!"

"That's too long!" Wei Xun immediately said after hearing this, "Can't it be faster?"

The Treasure Offering Convention starts in four days; he needs to make it in time.

"When I forge things, I like to take my time!" The burly blacksmith showed a difficult expression.

Seeing this, Wei Xun had no choice but to say, "For a top-tier forging Great Master like you, unparalleled under heaven, forging a shit-stirring stick is surely an easy task, you can definitely do it faster."

"I have to say!" The burly blacksmith looked at Wei Xun and smiled, "You don't look like much, kid, but you have good taste."

"Of course!" Wei Xun also laughed, "Brother, you are a forging Great Master, and a Great Master must have the demeanor of a Great Master; you can definitely forge it in three days."

"That's natural!" The burly blacksmith laughed, "If I get serious, let alone three days, I can do it in three hours."

"A Great Master is indeed a Great Master!" Wei Xun immediately praised him upon seeing this.

"However, it's been too long since I forged a weapon!" The burly blacksmith slowly said, "I'll take my time forging to get my fill; just come to me in three days to pick it up."

"Thank you, Brother!" After thanking the burly man, Wei Xun immediately went upstairs, preparing to find the Ming Mountain Daoist on the fifth floor.
