As long as he followed Ge Qing’s rules, Gu Sheng didn’t feel so uneasy.
As for what happens after breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm?
By then, the matters in Canghe County should be more or less resolved. By then, there’s a high chance he won’t be here anymore, and future resources will be a matter for later.
When he reaches a larger place, obtaining cultivation resources like the Bone Protecting Pill won’t be as difficult as now.
Seven days are still needed.
Gu Sheng wasn’t in a rush. He kept grinding for experience, waiting silently for the time to come.
...
Three days later.
The first surprise arrived.
On this day, Gu Sheng was assisting Helian Tie Lan. With his current proficiency at the Small Success level of the Helian Weapon Casting Skill, assisting her was more than sufficient. Not only could the forging of the giant axe and heavy armor proceed quicker, but he could also accumulate experience.
This was much faster than Gu Sheng practicing weapon forging alone.
At this moment, Helian Tie Lan was completely absorbed in hammering the axe blade in her hands, repeatedly refining and quenching it, striving to ensure its sharpness while making it resistant to folding or chipping.
Gu Sheng knew that Helian Tie Lan had poured all her hatred for the Black Sand Gang into this giant axe.
Not only had she brought out her treasured Cold Iron, Black Rock Crystal, and other rare minerals, but she was also performing beyond her usual abilities. The axe’s prototype was slowly being perfected in her hands, and Gu Sheng could even sense the fiery passion in Helian Tie Lan’s eyes.
Gu Sheng himself was equally eager.
The previous giant axe had also been melted down. While that axe could be considered a fine work, it was nowhere near the caliber of the one emerging before him now.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The rhythmic sound of hammering echoed, fire tongues flared and receded, cold water sizzled and steamed.
Step by step, repeating motions, forging perfection.
Perhaps they had passed the most critical phase, as Helian Tie Lan finally spoke:
"The essence of the Helian Weapon Casting Skill lies in refining and hammering. With my current Great Achievement Realm level, I can achieve a hundred refinements. Lord Gu Sheng, your talent in weapon forging is exceptional. If one day you reach the Perfect level, you will achieve a thousand refinements, and earn the title of a renowned master wherever you go."
"Even Bone Refining Realm experts would treat you as an honored guest."
While weapon casting masters carry less status than alchemists, their rank was not insignificant, she added:
"Your giant axe and heavy armor have undergone special treatment using the Helian Weapon Casting Skill. In the future, if your casting skill surpasses mine, you can reforge and refine them. Their power will certainly increase further."
Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
However, the Helian Weapon Casting Skill inherently carried the latent threat of the Helian family. Unless necessary, he wouldn’t reveal it, lest he invite trouble.
"Thanks for your efforts."
