Chapter Thirty: Military Equipment

  "Damn it, White Robed Sword Saint Lu Shao Yu!" Seeing Qin Xuan Long's figure disappear around the corner, a hint of resentment flashed across Xiao Bao Zi's face. Indeed, what was written in the book from his previous life was not wrong - Confucianism brings chaos with its literature, and Chivalry commits crimes with its martial arts.

  These martial arts practitioners, each thinking they are heroes, doing what they think is right and chivalrous, yet unaware of the enormous impact their actions have on ordinary people.

  This chase and escape, on the road, people who were killed by bloodthirsty for venting their anger, half of the responsibility should be attributed to Lu Shao's body.

  Of course, Xiao Baozi is not a judge or a righteous person with a strong sense of justice. He is furious because Xue Wuyan poses a huge threat to his own family and even himself. It's precisely because Xue Wuyan has infringed upon his personal interests that he especially hates Lu Shaoyou and Xue Wuyan.

  The little leopard was disdainful of Lu Shao's selfless and unrequited chivalrous behavior, but could only express it in his heart.

  In some sense, this has nothing to do with him at all.

  For the next dozen or so days, he could only huddle in the ironwork shop, and every day, apart from practicing his skills, was spent forging iron. In his spare time, he began to concoct the Mind-Confusing Pill again, and since discovering its miraculous effect, he had also become interested in this line of work.

  Anyway, the materials needed for the Mysterious Spirit Dan are not precious, and a few sets can be obtained by running around on the street. Moreover, through the decoction of the Mysterious Spirit Dan, he can also become familiar with the method of decocting medicine, as preparation for the future refining of the Tempering Bone Dan. After all, the materials needed to refine the Tempering Bone Dan are much more precious than those of the Mysterious Spirit Dan, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to waste them.

  The first time he refined the Mystic Spirit Dan, he wasted more than half of the materials, but now, no matter how many raw materials he had, he could refine that many Mystic Spirit Dans. In just over a dozen days, he had already filled up ten small porcelain bottles with Mystic Spirit Powder.

  What he called the "Mystic God Powder" was actually the Mystic God Pill that he had refined and ground into a powder. Every time he saw these porcelain bottles, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment as a successful rogue.

  As time gradually passed, the legendary eighth-grade strongmen Bai Yisheng and Xue Wuya still only existed in the legend of Qingyang Village and the gossip among the villagers. Just like the doomsday on earth, legends are always just legends. Even if they really exist, it's hard for them to have any intersection with ordinary people like Xiao Baozi.

  After all, it was just a rumor. Qingyang Village calmed down after a period of panic and found that nothing had happened. Life gradually returned to normal, and the tense atmosphere that had enveloped the entire village slowly dissipated.

  The little leopard's days were as calm as ever, these days, forging iron and refining equipment, decocting medicine and making elixirs, this life was spent in a carefree manner, occasionally having moments of loneliness, sitting by the window, gazing at the moon, thinking about past lives, it felt like being in a dream.

  He finished practicing a set of Tai Chi moves, took a few deep breaths, picked up the flying dart beside his hand, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

  "My martial arts training has now reached a bottleneck, it seems I should forge a trusty sword that fits my hand!"

  After such a long period of practice, his martial arts skills have already reached the highest level for someone of his age group. Of course, if he wants to forcibly improve further, it's not a problem, but as a child who has not yet entered puberty, this kind of forced improvement of his strength and physical intensity will definitely affect his future development, and may even impact his growth potential later on. So at present, he just needs to maintain his current level, there is no need to force himself further. After all, from whatever angle you look at it, he is still a child, and not in any kind of dangerous environment, so there really is no need to force anything.

  If he had a suitable sword, it would be possible to maximize his current combat power to the greatest extent, although he felt that improving his combat power at this stage did not have much impact on himself.

  He was a blacksmith and had been making weapons for so long that he was very familiar with the blade. He had also thought about what kind of blade he needed now, and there were some doubts in his heart, but now he had made up his mind.

  "I'm still young, carrying a knife or sword would be too eye-catching, if I take it home, who knows, the old man might spank me. Better to get something smaller and more discreet. My skills with hidden weapons are not bad now, this throwing dart can hit the target nine out of ten times, but just relying on darts is too limited, it's not like the flying knife of Little Li, which can solve everything. Why not make two wrist daggers instead?"

  In his past life, as a Naruto fan, he had done extensive research on the most commonly used and popular ninja tool in the series. This eighteen-centimeter-long, dart-like weapon was much more functional than a simple throwing dart. In addition to its basic flying function, it also possessed four fundamental usage methods of long-range weapons: horizontal slashing, vertical chopping, diagonal cutting, and straight stabbing. This thing was very suitable for Xiao Baozi's current use, so he decided to make two Kunai for himself to carry around. Firstly, they were indeed useful, and secondly, it could also be seen as a kind of memorial to his past life, which was like a dream.

  He is a blacksmith of the Wu family iron shop, responsible for forging weapons for the Wu family. However, the forged weapons are not for his own use but for sale. If he wants to forge weapons for himself, he needs to find another way. Of course, you can also forge in the Wu family iron shop, but you need to pay extra material fees.

  It's okay.

  However, as the blacksmith of Wu's ironware shop, those material costs are still very favorable. You can directly take materials from the warehouse and get a receipt from Old Zhang who guards the warehouse to pay for it, then come back here to settle the account with him.

  The yard of Wu's ironware shop was not too big, and the warehouse was naturally not far away. After lunch, Xiao Bao didn't delay either, and went straight to the warehouse.

  "What, you want to buy materials to make a sword?!" Knowing the purpose of Little Leopard's visit, Old Zhang, who was in charge of the warehouse, was somewhat surprised, but still opened the door very readily. He also knew that Little Leopard, who was now learning martial arts from Qin Xuanlong, needed a weapon, and this Wu family ironware shop had no shortage of swords. As long as you didn't take it out, you could use whatever you wanted in the ironware shop, there was no need to specially make one for yourself, after all, you weren't going to go adventuring on the rivers and lakes.

  Of course, this was not said to Little Leopard. When someone wants to buy arms, they naturally have their own ideas. He is just an old man in charge of the warehouse, as long as he pays, it's up to him what he takes.

  The little leopard wasn't the first time to enter the material warehouse, so he wasn't attracted by the dazzling materials in the house. He just walked lightly and familiarly to the front of a pile of materials, selecting the materials he needed.

  When he finally picked out what he wanted and was leaving the warehouse, Old Zhang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's so small, it wouldn't even be enough to make a short sword!"

  "I don't play with big things, I've been learning to throw darts with Master Qin recently, and I want to play a few rounds of darts!" Little Leopard laughed.

  "Ah!" Old Zhang showed a look of realization, pulled out a note, and quickly wrote on it. After finishing, he handed the note to Little Leopard, "Go to the account room to pay the bill and pick up the materials, no delay is allowed!"

  "Understood!" The little leopard smiled and took the list away from the warehouse.
