Chapter 1007: The Ancestral Treasure
This guess made sense. No matter how she looked at it, Gongxi Kuangdao looked stupid. Ling Chuxi started guessing blindly in her heart.
On the other hand, Gongxi Kuangdao had already called out, “What do you mean by ‘this thing’? This is my Gongxi clan’s Eight Wasteland Blade.” Gongxi Kuangdao raised the pig iron stick and waved it a few times. It was full of vigour, but unfortunately, a rod was still a rod.
“Are you sure this thing is a blade?” Ling Chuxi looked at Gongxi Kuangdao as if she was looking at an idiot. If it wasn’t her eyes, then perhaps it was because Gongxi Kuangdao had been poisoned.
Gongxi Kuangdao’s expression froze, and he became a little depressed. To be honest, only he himself thought this was a blade, and others probably wouldn’t be able to see it.
“You think it’s so easy to forge an Eight Wasteland Blade? This is iron essence, not ordinary steel. As the saying goes, a sword is sharpened every ten years. If it were any other master forger, it would take at least a year for it to take shape. However, with the secret forging techniques of the Gongxi clan, it’s already a miracle I was able to make it take shape in 10 days.” Gongxi Kuangdao defended himself.
Ling Chuxi had also heard of a ten-year sword. A truly good sword might not even have been forged in a lifetime, let alone ten years. She had also seen the hardness of this iron essence. It was indeed incomparable to ordinary steel. Gongxi Kuangdao was able to shape the appearance of the Eight Wasteland Blade in just a few days. Although it was ugly, it was indeed not easy. In that case, forging was indeed a very deep knowledge. It was not that Gongxi Kuangdao was stupid. As what he said did seem to make sense. Fine, Gongxi Kuangdao was not stupid.
If Gongxi Kuangdao knew that Ling Chuxi’s evaluation of him had gone from stupid to not stupid in a short period of time, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood again. It was too much to make such a simple conclusion! He, Gongxi Kuangdao, was a dignified and intelligent person!
“Then what should we do next?” asked Ling Chuxi, not wanting to further insult Gongxi Kuangdao.
“Next, of course, we should continue forging. You should have already memorized our Gongxi clan’s forging techniques and secret techniques. I’ll demonstrate them to you now and let you see what real forging is.” Gongxi Kuangdao had just been severely despised by Ling Chuxi, so he wanted to regain some face and immediately started forging.
Gongxi Kuangdao took out an amber-like pebble from his pocket and slowly injected his True Qi into the stone. A moment later, a red flame flickered. Even when she was standing a few steps away, Ling Chuxi could feel the heat released by the stone.
“What is this?” asked Ling Chuxi in surprise.
“This is called Lava Fire Crystal. It comes from the depths of volcanic lava and contains the fire of the Earth’s core. As long as you absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, the heat in it will be like the Jade Crystal Heart. This heat is not useful for cultivation, but it has a miraculous effect when used for forging.” Gongxi Kuangdao explained.
“It comes from the depths of volcanic lava? How did you find it?” asked Ling Chuxi in confusion. With Gongxi Kuangdao’s strength, he definitely could not have withstood the high temperatures of volcanic lava.
“This is our ancestral treasure. The collection method has long been lost. There aren’t many left in the entire Gongxi clan.” Gongxi Kuangdao explained. After saying that, he looked at Ling Chuxi with worry, afraid that she would snatch it away from him.
