Demonic World: I Pay to Win in Cultivation

Chapter Eighteen From Birth to Death (Subscribe)

At night, the Canglan River reflects the rippling light under the illumination of boat lights. This flashing river separates the bustling bustle of the west bank from the silence and darkness of the east bank, forming a sharp contrast.

On the east bank of the river stands a towering lighthouse. The flames ignited by lamp oil made of giant whale fat can be seen from a distance of hundreds of miles, but it cannot clearly illuminate the rocky beach below.

Du Kang, who came from wading, was dressed in gold and iron, and walked with his back to the firelight among the rocks. After walking about two miles away, he finally saw the place where the two confessed under the dim light.

He only learned about it when Du Kang tortured the two of them to extract confessions.

The Sheng family's Huolingjing Bianshu turned out to be a spell that specializes in refining weapons, and all the methods he was worried about, such as positioning, sound transmission, and controlling the self-destruction of subordinates, were not available in Huo Nu.

Because Wan Yaozhong, a high-grade divine weapon, possesses the ability to attune monsters and enslave living beings, people in the Sheng family generally regard the practice of fire slave sacrifice as a weak ability.

After the clansmen signed the contract with Wan Yaozhong, they could indirectly control many creatures enslaved by Wan Yaozhong according to the assigned authority. With such ability, who would go to the painstaking effort to refine some fire slaves.

The caster didn't even have a sense of Huo Nu's life and death. Sheng Qinghai relied entirely on the power and wealth of the Sheng family, Huo Nu's instinctive closeness to the caster, and Huo Nu's inability to break away from the caster's ability to advance spells independently to control subordinates.

Therefore, the two Taoists, Tie Chong, even dared to sneak out during work hours to block roads and rob and earn extra money. These factors together contributed to the birth of Du Kang's bold plan.

It has only been a dozen or so hours since the Taoist Chong and the Tie Taoist secretly left the craftsman's workshop, and the strong man in the iron helmet under the craftsman's workshop should have noticed that they left without authorization.

But it will take time to report to the higher authorities and send people to track down.

Within this time difference, it was enough for Du Kang to use their previous shipping channels to make a fortune.

Du Kang has already found out the full set of operating mechanisms of this black shop called Craftsman Workshop. To put it simply, this is a story of a prodigal son at the expense of the public and his personal interests.

The Sheng family's magic weapons are famous for their large quantity, low price, and high quality. The number of magic weapons produced by the Sheng family's magic weapons workshop can account for half of the overall output of Canglan City, and they are extremely famous in Daliang.

With such a huge output, a certain amount of defective products will naturally be produced every day. The Sheng family will re-melt the defective products into molten iron, separate the various spirit iron gods that have been integrated into the molten iron, and forge them again.

The master of the two Taoists, Chongtie, Sheng Qinghai, the sixth son of the current head of the Sheng family, smelled a business opportunity from it.

He first bought a few old masters who re-inspected the magic weapons and asked them to treat some of the good quality magic weapons as defective products. Before these magic weapons entered the melting furnace, another group of his staff would cut them off. Put it in the waterway of the workshop.

Since the workshop goes deep underground, the water for forging in the workshop is directly connected to the sea, and the turbulent water flow in the water channel will wash the magic soldiers into a certain trench along the coast.

After that, the task of fishing for goods from the sea is carried out by a railway man with a metal body. After the goods are brought ashore, they will be brought to the Tuwei Lane Artisan Workshop for sale.

Inside the workshop, only the workers of the workshop could be recruited, but the sales outside were handed over to the fire slaves made by Sheng Qinghai himself, so as to avoid being noticed by the family as much as possible.

Of course, this is only the way of transporting low-grade divine weapons, while middle-grade divine weapons are delivered directly with consignment charms, and the two of them don't know much about it.

In the confession of the two, Du Kang also got a piece of news that was beyond his expectations.

That is, the main source of profit for the Craftsmanship Workshop is not the higher-ranked magic weapons, but the lowest-level magic weapons of the lower rank. The middle-level magic soldiers can only sell one in a month or two, but the lower ranks are sold every month. It can sell four to five hundred pieces a month.

Because it is a business without capital, the black market sales can bring Sheng Qinghai a huge income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month.

Even for the Sheng family, which destroys a huge number of divine weapons every day, the disappearance of four or five hundred divine weapons every month is not too much, but it is not too small. I don't know how Sheng Qinghai hid it.

The two Taoists had such doubts in their hearts, but Du Kang didn't care about it, he just came to get a ticket and ran away, so he didn't care about other people's tricks.

On the rotten rock beach on the west side of the Canglan River, a ball of yellow light emerged from the ground, spewing out a tall figure, it was Du Kang who was carried by the yellow-faced boy's escaping technique.

He looked at the ground with regret on his face.

"Although I've thought about it a long time ago, even the city walls have formations to seal the earth dungeon. How could there be no such important place as the Shenbing Workshop, but how can I be reconciled if I don't try it."

The Sheng family's magical weapon workshop is huge, located hundreds of feet deep underground on this rocky beach, covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 mu, divided into several floors, with more than 20,000 monks and mortals working day and night to build magical weapons. Most people have to work in it for the rest of their lives from the moment they enter, and cannot leave until they die.

The defense is so tight that it is said that every mosquito will be searched when it comes in and out.

For this debt collection operation, Du Kang deliberately brought the yellow-faced boy with him, and prepared an extra escape route for himself.

The Zhendi tripod was placed in the ground a mile deep under Canglan City, stored in a huge rock mass, and a red-faced boy was arranged to take care of it.

As long as it is not bad luck, encountering a master who can escape from the earth deep in the ground, this place will be safe.

"If you can't take the dry road, you can only go by water as originally planned."

The waves not far away hit the gravel beach, splashing fine waves, and Du Kang's body quietly transformed into a golden snake, swimming towards the sea surface on the sharp gravel.

Another wave came, and when the wave subsided, there was nothing left, even the clothes that had been taken off were swept away by the wave.

This piece of rotten rock beach is huge, deeply inserted into the sea, Du Kang dived down for a long time before he saw scattered sandy soil, and seaweeds of different shapes, corals and brightly colored small fish appeared one after another in his sight.

There are still several dilapidated and decaying shipwrecks in the coral reef. They are sleeping quietly in the dark sea water. There are fishes coming and going in and out of the ship's breach. Obviously, the sunken ship has become the home of these small fish.

But Du Kang didn't go to explore. The railway man went in and looked at it when he entered the water for the first time. The inside was empty and had been emptied long ago, leaving only a huge wreckage of the ship.

Bibohai is famous for its large number of sea monsters, but Du Kang didn't see a creature with monster aura during his dive all the way, but he was not surprised, but continued to go deeper.

The piece of coral reef was left behind, and gradually there was only a reef covered with thick soil dust in front of him. Du Kang's slippery snake scales crawled over it, bringing up a turbid undercurrent.

Finally, after turning over a small mountain on the seabed, a huge gully appeared in front of him. At the end of the gully was a huge hole in the mountain. Right now, a huge amount of sea water was gushing out of it, washing the stones in the gully so smooth.

Comparing the memory of the railway man, this should be the water outlet of the Shenbing Workshop. Du Kang swam forward for a certain distance and came to a huge rock beside the ravine.

Open the mouth of the snake, and spit out a refining bead into the big stone bowl in front of him, then lowered the snake's head, and pressed the whole snake body on the ground, Yinshen transmitted sound to the huge stone in front.

"I've met Grandpa Bashou. I obeyed my master's orders and came here to pick up some things as usual. This is an offering for you."

boom!

The mountains shook for a while, and Du Kang's heavy metal body floated up due to the swaying sea water. He could only hook a protruding rock with his snake tail to prevent himself from being washed away by the current.

A huge tentacle flew past in front of him, swept away the demon bead and brought the tentacle back into the rock. Through the suction cup on the tentacle, Du Kang confirmed that it was an octopus demon.

The inside of the water outlet of the workshop is twists and turns, and the magic soldiers put in it can sometimes rush out directly, and sometimes they get stuck in the water channel. At this time, the railwaymen need to go in to find them.

This huge octopus is a big sea monster. After being tamed by Wan Yaozhong, it was arranged to guard the water outlet of the workshop. Sheng Qinghai also had the authority to command it, so naturally he opened the back door for his subordinates.

This octopus is greedy, and he ate up all the sea monsters within a dozen miles. As long as a monster is enshrined as blood food every time it comes, and there is a greeting from above, it will open one eye. Close one eye.

After seeing the octopus with his own eyes, Du Kang was very glad that he disguised himself as a railway man to get away with it. This octopus is huge. If he encountered it on the shore, Du Kang would turn into a giant spirit and easily deal with it.

But on the bottom of the sea where the feet are hard to reach, Du Kang may really not be the opponent of the octopus monster, let alone the huge movement that the fight may cause.

When the water flow calmed down and the rock made by the octopus monster calmed down again, the guards had been bribed, and it was time to get down to business.

Du Kang's smooth snake belly squirmed for a while, and a small claw appeared. The claw first pierced deeply into the rock under his body, and after testing it to confirm that he could hold it firmly.

Beside the gully where the torrent was surging, he jumped and disappeared in the surging water.

Different from the icy sea water, the water flowing out of the water outlet has a hint of heat, and it is also mixed with some golden and iron air, which is obviously the breath left in the water after the quenching of the magic weapon.

The exit of the waterway is extremely wide. After crawling for a certain distance with his claws on his abdomen, Du Kang saw a group of monsters clinging to the rock wall and growing weird tentacles.

This kind of monster is called Carnivorous Grass, and it is a low-intelligence monster planted here by the Sheng family to prevent people from escaping along the waterway. When they sense flesh and blood life, they will swarm up and eat up their prey, and they will also prey on human excrement. An excellent sewer security and cleaning monster.

Dense carnivorous grasses are planted all over the rock wall of the waterway, swinging their tentacles with the water flow, but Du Kang, who is not interested in the metal body, allows him to crawl past him. After turning several bends, the inside gradually narrows, and the water flow More and more turbulent.

A number of forked waterways appeared ahead, and water flowed out of these forked waterways and converged into the main waterway.

The railwaymen had only been here before at most, and even if the magic soldiers packed in boxes were stuck, they were mostly at this fork, and Du Kang had to go the rest of the way by himself.

The only thing he knew was that the water channel on the left must be connected to the casting furnace, because the iron man always found the stuck magic weapon in the left water channel.

Du Kang sensed it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. The water on the left was the hottest and had a bit of gold and iron; the water in the middle still had a faint fishy smell even if the excrement was eaten by carnivorous plants; the far right had no smell. .

The leftmost waterway should be connected to the forging and reforging places, the middle waterway should lead to people's living places, and the right side corresponds to the unknown.

After thinking about it for a while, Du Kang crawled straight to the left. No matter where the warehouse he was looking for was, the magic weapon would be put into the warehouse after forging. It was always right to look to the left first.

Winding all the way forward, and it took nearly a stick of incense, the carnivorous plants beside him can only be seen sporadically. Through the water above, you can see the bright red light, and there is a slight sound of gold and iron knocking into Du Kang. in the ear.

"It seems that this is the place, that's right."

Du Kang's body was attached to the wall of the water channel, and the khaki light emerged, and he blended into it silently.

As early as in the previous section of the waterway, he discovered that the Tudun could be used normally again.

Now that I think about it, the ground suppression array arranged by the Sheng family should only be able to block the entry and exit of Tudun, but not prevent the normal use of Tudun outside the range of the formation.

The entire formation is spherical to enclose the workshop, and only the land of more than ten feet near the spherical surface is affected by the township formation. The array was arranged extremely large, but the workshop did not occupy all the space in the sphere, and the earth and rocks in the middle became Du Kang's hiding place and walking passage.

A vague khaki-yellow face appeared on the top of the workshop, and his eyes swept across the stone room. The strong men who were busy beating the red iron blocks, the laborers who stepped hard on the bellows, and the handymen who poured the quenched wastewater into the sewer ... full of a busy scene.

"Fan Bing is forged. The Sheng family is also involved in the business of Fan Bing? Or is it the training of apprentices before leaving the teacher?"

Du Kang muttered to himself, and then the face at the top of the workshop followed the layout of the workshop, walked out of the small forging room through the passage.

The noise of the flow of people entered his ears, and Du Kang's eyes suddenly brightened.

What caught the eye was the dazzling fire. The huge three-story underground building surrounded a huge high-rise square. The dense and thick stone pillars supported the huge structure, and the architectural style showed roughness and strength.

The air was full of sweltering heat, the men were all naked from the upper body, and the women were also wearing cool tube tops and shorts.

People are pushing small carts to and fro on the road, and the carts are piled with charcoal, coal, and finished weapons, and they enter and leave the stone-cut rooms, creating a lively atmosphere.

Du Kang opened his spiritual eyes to observe for a while, and found that the entire square was in the shape of eight trigrams, and there were a large number of sporadic auras shining in the buildings on the second and third floors corresponding to each hexagram of the eight trigrams. Obviously, that was the place to forge the divine soldiers.

Earth and stone buildings were too strong a barrier to the spiritual eyes, and he couldn't find the location of the warehouse for a while. Du Kang simply moved inside the rock wall and searched room by room.

Du Kang was originally on the bottom floor of the three-story building, and all soldiers built on this floor were ordinary soldiers. According to Du Kang's eyesight, the quality is indeed excellent, and many of them can even reach the peak of ordinary soldiers.

Among these blacksmiths, except for a few who were sent here by the Sheng family after they had achieved success in their studies, most of the rest were born and raised in this workshop, and they will grow up here in the foreseeable future. go, die.

Hundreds of years of skill inheritance, only one thing to do from birth to death, even a mediocre figure can become a master in a field, and devote his whole life to making weapons. These mortal craftsmen are close to those made by ordinary soldiers. The pinnacle of skill.

Each floor of the workshop has a very large space. Du Kang wandered around on the first floor and then went to the second floor.

Among the craftsmen at this level, monks began to appear. Most of them practiced the magic of fire and gold, and made all kinds of low-grade magic weapons, such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, maces, sticks, hammers... …

Common weapon styles, strange weapons, and strange weapons that Du Kang couldn't name were forged in each stone room.

Each stone room is presided over by a monk, who leads several apprentices to build a kind of magic weapon. The ratio of different spirit irons is familiar by heart, and the style of the magic weapon is exactly the same. The fire is often just right.

These monks and craftsmen will also devote their whole lives here. Unlike ordinary people who have been trapped here for life, they will have the opportunity to return to the ground with generous rewards after they are old enough to teach their crafts. Spend the rest of his short life on the small island of surveillance.

Du Kang focused on the direction of transporting finished magic weapons and receiving spirit iron materials on the second floor, and he swam to the third floor through the rock wall.

The space on this floor is as large as the lower two floors, but there are not many people, only three to four hundred people, but all of them are monks. They gather in the room near the Eight Diagrams Square.

When Du Kang arrived at this floor, he saw more than 20 mid-level monks exuding strong spiritual light.
