Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

“Yes!” A great number of Dafeng Iron Cavalry made way.

As Su Changkong left with Pei Chen in tow, he didn’t forget to take Pei Chen’s silver-white longsword before they departed. This sword should have been forged from a large amount of star pattern gold, weighing at least twenty taels, valuable indeed; it was not to be missed.

Having escaped the encirclement, Su Changkong carried Pei Chen a few miles away before finally setting him down and said coldly, “Take off your armor!”

Using Pei Chen as a bargaining chip to demand a ransom from the Pei Family was a risky move. If the Pei Family disregarded Pei Chen’s life and death or decided to send a powerful expert like Hong Zhenxiang after paying the ransom, he would be in danger.

Su Changkong knew that there was such a thing as a fragrance-recognition bug specifically used for tracking.

However, Su Changkong also wanted to maximize his gains.

The longsword in Pei Chen’s possession was forged from pure star pattern gold, and his armor, which used much more material than a sword, was not entirely made of star pattern gold but was indeed mixed with a considerable amount of it. Su Changkong would not let it slip by.

“Yes…”

Pei Chen dared not disobey, enduring the pain as he removed all of his armor.

Standing in the wind with his body trembling, Pei Chen’s handsome face was half swollen; dressed in only light clothes, he looked as if he had been violated, his plight reaching an extreme level of misery.

“In the future, be less arrogant and overbearing. I have a good temper; it’s your luck to have encountered me!”

After giving Pei Chen a glance, Su Changkong said coldly, then, he turned and walked away, carrying the full set of armor and the longsword forged from star pattern gold, and without looking back, he unfolded his body technique and rapidly disappeared from Pei Chen’s sight.

Su Changkong indeed had no intention of killing Pei Chen. While they had a conflict, it had not reached the point where he must kill the other.

Of course, Pei Chen’s identity was also an important reason. If Su Changkong killed Pei Chen, then State Governor Pei Yang would truly use all his power to search for the murderer.

The power a State Governor could muster was beyond common imagination. The Magistrates of various states in Dafeng, the County Magistrates, and officials big and small would all have to cooperate with him. Even though Su Changkong acted cautiously and concealed his identity today, one always leaves behind some traces, as there’s no such thing as a seamless wall.

Better to avoid trouble than to create it. Su Changkong’s current goal was to concoct the Monster Martial Pill. After all, he wasn’t the one at a loss today; instead, he gained a great deal!

Only after Su Changkong had left, did Pei Chen collapse weakly to the ground, completely relaxing. His face also bore a bitter and ashamed expression. The loss of face and dignity he suffered today was likely hard to regain; he might even become the laughingstock of others’ conversations!

Su Changkong, however, was unconcerned with Pei Chen’s emotional turmoil.

“Today brought some unexpected events, but I actually gained quite a bit. This longsword is entirely forged from star pattern gold. With this armor set, not only can I forge a star patterned gold pill furnace, but I can also recast my weapon!”

Su Changkong was in a very good mood, having earned tens of taels of the precious star pattern gold effortlessly.

Su Changkong returned to Dafeng State City. For safety and to avoid attracting too much attention, he entered and exited Dafeng State City multiple times, transporting the longsword and the set of armor separately to the secluded estate he had rented.

This estate, after half a year of Su Changkong’s arrangement, not only had a pill refining room but also was equipped with various tools for forging.

Early the next day, Su Changkong started work in the estate’s forging room. He crafted the alchemy furnace out of star pattern gold according to the blueprints and specifications detailed in the Monster Martial Pill recipe.

Although Su Changkong hadn’t forged much in the last two or three years, his skill in forging had already reached the seventh realm, and his techniques hadn’t declined. After crafting a few tools to get his feel back, he started forging the pill furnace using star pattern gold!

Star pattern gold was hard in texture, difficult even for flames to melt, but by adding some materials to lower the melting point of the star pattern gold, it could be smelted. ʀã𐌽ÓВÈŜ

“Clang, clang, clang!”

In the forging room, Su Changkong, with his upper body bare, swung a huge hammer, striking the gradually softening star pattern gold in the flames, while combining it with other metal materials to forge a pill furnace.

The flames soared high, and the sounds of forging were unceasing. In just three days, Su Changkong successfully created a pill furnace.

The pill furnace was small, just over half a meter wide and high, but its entirety displayed a silver-white color with dazzling white star patterns twining around it, giving it a mysterious and extraordinary appearance.

However, Su Changkong was a pragmatist. To keep others from recognizing that this pill furnace was mixed with a large amount of precious star pattern gold, he added some coloring materials and dyed the furnace a dark black color, giving it a simple and robust appearance that wouldn’t allow anyone to recognize it as crafted from star pattern gold by sight.

As for the longsword and armor obtained from Pei Chen, Su Changkong also re-melted them into star pattern gold, obtaining a full thirty taels of star pattern gold.

Twenty taels of it were used by Su Changkong to craft a new Iron-Cutting Sword.

To forge a weapon entirely out of pure star pattern gold was undeniably a luxurious thing to do!

The star pattern gold Iron-Cutting Sword that he forged was similarly treated. He added coloring materials, altering the sword’s color to a dark, deep black that wouldn’t draw attention.

The remaining ten taels of star pattern gold were not wasted by Su Changkong. He used them to forge a longbow, but he didn’t craft it entirely from star pattern gold.

For one thing, there wasn’t enough material. Secondly, the ductility of star pattern gold might not be suitable for crafting bows and crossbows. By incorporating other metal materials, the bow would gain more flexibility!
