Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 125 - 115: Being Watched and Manufacturing (6000 Grand Chapter, Seeking Yue Tickets)_4

Wang Sheng had soaked for quite some time on his first try because he wanted to test how long his Qi-Blood Power could maintain the constant temperature device.

Then he clearly underestimated himself.

Hours had passed, and the Qi-Blood Power was still abundant, only decreasing by about ten to twenty percent; initially, he thought he would need to take a Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill.

After enjoying the soak, Wang Sheng got up and gave his place to Dabai, even deliberately raising the water temperature significantly.

But when Dabai got in, the temperature of the water still dropped quickly.

Dabai was too big...

”Try to enhance yourself, I think spirit beasts should also be able to release Qi-Blood Power, and maybe by then, you could heat it up yourself.”

Though he empathized, it was impossible for him to heat the water.

Not to mention Dabai usually liked cleanliness, going to the river to bathe every few days; he wouldn’t even let Dabai into the hot spring.

With that, the construction of the hot spring was complete, and their quality of life had greatly improved.

However, there was still some unused Blood-forged Steel. He planned to use it to make some weapons and progress in ”forging” and ”Mechanical Techniques”.

The first project was a bow and arrow.

Bow-making was actually quite sophisticated; a well-crafted bow could greatly improve in precision and power.

Naturally, Wang Sheng did not know how to make bows; his knowledge of bows was limited to tying a rope to a bamboo stick as a toy in his childhood, considering it good if it could shoot a dozen meters and penetrate a cardboard was called a ”Divine Artifact”.

But it didn’t matter that he didn’t know, because there were other people, or rather, books on the craftsmanship.

Lately, Yue, who had followed him home, had been doing almost nothing but transcribing some books, and just sent him the basic book a couple of days ago.

In it was a Complete Guide to Weapon Making.

It contained methods for making eighteen types of weapons including swords, spears, and naturally, bows as well.

He chose to make a very powerful composite bow.

It was said that even using some ordinary materials could produce a bow with the power of twelve stones. Wang Sheng used Iron Wood for the bow, a material that had reached the status of ”Spiritual Objects”, and Dragon Tendon from a Grandmaster Level Evil Flood Dragon for the bowstring.

The resulting bow was so powerful that it could be difficult to pull without thousands of pounds of strength, and to fully draw it could require at least ten thousand pounds.

Together with the Grandmaster’s Qi-Blood Power, the bow’s power was immense, though Wang Sheng himself could not accurately judge just how strong.

He only knew it would likely be terrifying.

Making the bow took quite a long time as it was a delicate process, and Wang Sheng had to cultivate, so the manufacturing time spanned more than ten days.

During these days, Wang Sheng found that he hadn’t unlocked any weapon-making skills, but later realized that every time he made a bow, the progress bar for ”Mechanical Techniques” increased, and he understood what was happening.

Thinking back, he hadn’t unlocked any skills when making the water wheel last time; he hadn’t noticed then, but now understood that it was also part of Mechanical Techniques.

The ”Mechanical Technique” skill was more important than he had imagined.

He knew that bows and the like weren’t included in the ”Mechanical Technique: Azure Dragon Chapter”, most likely they were in the other three books.

If he wanted to acquire them, he probably needed to level up his Mechanical Techniques skill to Breakthrough.

This kind of knowledge-based skill Breakthrough, similar to deduction, could infer related knowledge based on what is already known, akin to creating something out of nothing.

The bow-making method he got from Yue was quite useful.

After the bow was made, it was time for the arrows.

Making arrows was not as difficult; Iron Wood for the shaft, Blood-forged Steel for the arrowhead, the only trouble was the fletching.

Wang Sheng just randomly found some feathers to use, but at least he managed to make all the arrows.

After everything was made, Wang Sheng took the items and went to test the new bow and arrows’ power...
