The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Entering the Grade of Weapons! Star Pattern Iron!

“I’ll study it more carefully later.”

Su Hao packed away all the valuables, including money, manuals, and prescriptions, in one go.

“It’s still a case of robbing the rich to help the poor… which yields far greater rewards than accumulating wealth slowly.”

Su Hao couldn’t help but reflect that this haul was indeed significant: the Transforming Tendon secret medicine, martial arts manuals, and over a thousand taels of silver. It’s no wonder there were so many bandits, robbers, and villains outside.

Some people might spend their entire lives accumulating wealth, but perhaps it could never equal what one can seize in a single raid.

And the gains didn’t stop there!

In the underground cavern, Xu Huanzhen had already rescued several captured blacksmiths, including Chen Yuan Zheng, who were now gathered around Wu Yannian’s corpse, all wearing expressions of astonishment.

“Thank you, Master Wen, for saving our lives!”

Seeing Su Hao arrive, Chen Yuan Zheng and the others hurriedly bowed deeply, expressing their gratitude to him.

They already knew that it was this ‘Wen Tailai’ who had slain Wu Yannian; otherwise, even Xu Huanzhen might have fallen here!

“I only came to kill Wu Yannian,” Su Hao maintained an appearance of calm and aloofness.

Xu Huanzhen cupped his hands and said, “Hero Wen… can we have the armor worn by this demon head?”

Su Hao’s gaze turned towards him. The armor on Wu Yannian was extraordinary; even his Void Breaking Divine Fist, powered by Core Strength, couldn’t damage it, indicating its high value!

“Hero Wen, please don’t misunderstand. I am Xu Huanzhen, the owner of the Forging Weaponry Workshop. You have saved our people, and I have no way to repay you. Based on my observations, this set of armor should contain ‘Star Pattern Iron’. I can refine it, and even… forge it into weapons, entering the grade of weapons!”

Xu Huanzhen quickly explained, worried that Su Hao might think he intended to seize his loot.

“Star Pattern Iron… for crafting weapons!”

Su Hao’s eyes lit up. In fact, he was also quite skilled in forging and had heard of Star Pattern Iron before.

Star Pattern Iron is an extremely rare metal that, when mixed into weapons during forging, enables them to cut through iron like mud; when mixed into armor, it makes the armor even more indestructible. It is one of the materials used for crafting quality weapons!

Of course, relying solely on Star Pattern Iron is not enough; other rare metals are also needed for the smelting process. However, Star Pattern Iron is the main material and the most valuable among them.

“Our Forging Weaponry Workshop is willing to do our utmost to craft a suitable weapon for Hero Wen as a token of our gratitude!” Xu Huanzhen said earnestly. Su Hao had helped them, and Xu Huanzhen was willing to repay by attempting to forge a weapon for him, likely of quality grade!

A Divine Weapon can significantly enhance a martial artist’s combat power; quality weapons can even serve as heirlooms.

Those renowned Divine Weapons that can make a name for themselves are almost always of quality grade!

“Alright, then this set of armor will be entrusted to your Forging Weaponry Workshop.”

Su Hao pondered for a moment before slightly nodding in agreement.

“However, I still have one more thing to trouble Shopkeeper Xu with.”

Su Hao shifted the topic.

“Please, go ahead,” Xu Huanzhen immediately responded.

“If your workshop manages to forge quality weapons, I would like to ask you to use it to exchange for a ‘Tendon Protection Pill’ for me.”

Without any preamble, Su Hao stated his request.

Xu Huanzhen was a Transforming Tendon martial artist, which means it’s highly likely he also successfully attained the Transforming Tendon Stage through taking a Tendon Protection Pill.

For Su Hao, a quality weapon and a Tendon Protection Pill were both valuable, but he leaned more toward the latter. While weapons are also a part of strength, Su Hao was more eager to improve himself!

With his potential, having a Tendon Protection Pill would surely allow him to enter the Transforming Tendon Stage with great confidence!

Upon hearing this, Xu Huanzhen was somewhat stunned, secretly shocked and surprised. “Does Wen Tailai want a Tendon Protection Pill? Could it be for himself?”

From the strength that Su Hao had just displayed, he had killed four ferocious Iron Armored Corpses along with Wu Yannian, who was wearing armor mixed with Star Pattern Iron. To Xu Huanzhen, this clearly indicated that he was a Transforming Tendon martial artist, and a formidable one at that.

A Tendon Protection Pill is of little use to martial artists who have already reached the Transforming Tendon level, and Su Hao’s willingness to exchange a quality weapon for one indicated that he intended to use it for himself!

How could someone who had yet to fully complete the Transforming Tendon Stage be capable of killing such Demon Heads as Wu Yannian? What kind of prodigy is this?

“Perhaps it’s for a younger generation or a family member…” Xu Huanzhen swallowed hard, thinking that he might be mistaken. Wen Tailai’s desire for a Tendon Protection Pill doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for himself!

Su Hao, unaware of Xu Huanzhen’s thoughts, said, “Yes, I know some Great Families in business who might be willing to make an exchange.”

Xu Huanzhen regained his composure and nodded affirmatively to Su Hao. The Tendon Protection Pill was incredibly precious. In a way, it could make a Transforming Tendon martial artist, a rare and invaluable elixir. Meanwhile, a quality weapon is considered a Divine Weapon and can serve as an heirloom that can be passed to the next generation. Exchanging a quality weapon for a Tendon Protection Pill should not be a problem!

“Shopkeeper Xu, I will visit your Forging Weaponry Workshop in a while. You can handle the aftermath of this matter; I’ll take my leave now.”

Su Hao did not linger. After making arrangements with Xu Huanzhen, he set off.

“This Wen Tailai truly is a remarkable individual! He has killed more than one Transforming Tendon martial artist!”

The blacksmiths couldn’t help but express their admiration. The Gold Medal Blade Catcher, Wen Tailai, had a mysterious identity, akin to a dragon that is seen only fleetingly!

“Shopkeeper Xu, it’s strange that the fatal wound on Wu Yannian was on his head, as if his armor was ripped apart by an intense heat. This martial art resembles our workshop’s ‘Melting Gold Hand’.”

Chen Yuan Zheng looked at the body on the ground with some confusion. The head armor of Wu Yannian had been burned open, which was the cause of his death.

Xu Huanzhen had naturally noticed this earlier as well. He shook his head and said, “It seems that Hero Wen has mastered a martial art capable of burning gold and transforming iron, similar to the Melting Gold Hand.”

“Indeed…” Chen Yuan Zheng and the others nodded in agreement.

There are countless mysterious martial arts in the world, and it’s perfectly normal for many to share similar characteristics. It was not surprising that the martial art used by Wen Tailai to melt Wu Yannian’s armor resembled the Melting Gold Hand!

Moreover, Xu Huanzhen had only taught the Melting Gold Hand to a few people at the Forging Weaponry Workshop, and to be able to use the Melting Gold Hand to melt armor mixed with Star Pattern Iron would require the skill to be perfected to the point of Perfection!

Within the Forging Weaponry Workshop, only Xu Huanzhen himself possessed such strength!

“This time, we can count ourselves lucky to have encountered a master like Wen Tailai to slay that Demon Head!”

Everyone felt a sense of relief in their hearts, believing it was merely good fortune and coincidence that had brought Wen Tailai to resolve what would have otherwise been a fatal crisis.

Xu Huanzhen and the others would never have imagined that the martial art just used by “Wen Tailai” was not merely similar to the Melting Gold Hand, but was in fact the genuine Melting Gold Hand!

They could not even conceive that the emerging mysterious Blade Catcher “Wen Tailai” was none other than their low-profile forging genius from the Forging Weaponry Workshop, Su Hao!

“Even if I just used the Melting Gold Hand, Shopkeeper Xu and the others should not be able to guess it was me.”

At this moment, Su Hao had already left Wu Family Villa with his gains from the trip, quietly assuring himself.

He wasn’t the only one practicing the Melting Gold Hand, and he had only been learning it for about half a year. Generally, for martial artists, being able to grasp the fundamentals in such a short time would be considered rapid progress; Xu Huanzhen would definitely not link it to him.

In just one night, a lot had happened. Fortunately, the outcome was a good one; Chen Yuan Zheng and the others were not in any danger, and Su Hao had slain the Demon Dao scourge Wu Yannian, gaining the spoils he needed, with the Tendon Protection Pill soon to be within reach!
