The young man’s attitude was much more respectful this ti. "Gongye Yue greets Elder Shen!"
"What is your relationship with Master Gongye?" Shen Changqing couldn’t help but ask.
By just looking at the nas Gongye Yue and Gongye Heng, one could tell that their relationship was definitely not simple. The compound surna Gongye was already rare. And as chance would have it, both were at the sa place.
Upon hearing this, Gongye Yue said honestly, "He is my paternal uncle!"
I see. Shen Changqing realized. No wonder. Since both had the sa surna, he almost thought they were father and son. After all, judging by their ages, it didn’t seem out of the question for them to be father and son.
Then, Shen Changqing asked, "Why have you co today? Is there sothing you need?"
"The Divine Weapon Elder Shen commissioned us to forge has progressed, so my uncle specifically asked you to co over," Gongye Yue explained.
"Good!" Upon hearing news of the Divine Weapon, Shen Changqing imdiately nodded.
Without a blade in hand, he always felt sowhat uncomfortable. Although he had now coalesced blade intent, and the difference with or without a blade wasn’t huge, having a Divine Weapon would still be beneficial. If he had one, not to ntion anything else, his combat power alone would see a definite boost.
Imdiately, Gongye Yue led the way, with Shen Changqing following behind.
After reaching the entrance, the two didn’t stop, walking straight inside. After passing through the side hall, they arrived at an open area.
Shen Changqing looked around, seeing a scene akin to an ordinary courtyard. In the center, there was a forge. An exceedingly hot aura was emanating from it.
Gongye Heng stood bare-chested, heedless of the flowing sweat, observing the scene within the forge.
Coming up behind Gongye Heng, Gongye Yue said respectfully, "I’ve brought him."
Upon hearing this, Gongye Heng turned around, his face breaking into a warm smile at the sight of Shen Changqing. "Elder Shen has co!"
"Master, have you summoned because the Divine Weapon is about to be successfully forged?"
"Almost." Gongye Heng took a step back, then pointed at the forge in front of him. "Elder Shen, please look!"
At this, Shen Changqing stepped forward a few paces. He imdiately felt an even hotter wave of heat wash over him, which fortunately posed no threat due to his deep cultivation.
His gaze fell upon the forge. Inside, a red-hot iron bar was withstanding the fierce flas. Faintly, one could even hear the roars and bellows of a Fierce Beast from within the iron bar. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to send a tremor through one’s heart and soul.
"Is this the Divine Weapon being forged?" Shen Changqing asked in a deep voice.
The shape of the long iron bar bore so resemblance to the design he had drawn, but it wasn’t an exact match yet. Yet, the beastly roars undoubtedly confird it was made from the horn of Red Phosphorus.
Gongye Heng said, "Correct. This is the Divine Weapon being forged for Elder Shen. If you hadn’t returned, Elder Shen, the Divine Weapon would have remained here, continuously forged by the fierce flas. But now that you have returned, Elder Shen, it is indeed ti for the Divine Weapon to erge."
"If it erges early, won’t there be so negative effects?" Shen Changqing asked, his brow furrowing slightly.
From what he said, it seed the weapon could still undergo continuous forging. Either don’t do it at all, or do it to the best of your ability. If possible, he did not want the Divine Weapon’s quality to suffer due to the shortened ti.
Gongye Heng explained with a smile, "Elder Shen can rest assured. Extracting it now will make no difference compared to continuous forging. Leaving it in the forge was just to wait for your return. In fact, prolonged forging might not necessarily be a good thing for the Divine Weapon."
He knew what Shen Changqing was worried about. Similarly, Gongye Heng also did not wish for any subpar items to co from his own hands. Moreover, the horn of Red Phosphorus was first-rate material. If he couldn’t forge it into a powerful Divine Weapon, even he would feel regret.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing was reassured. "Since Master has decided, then let’s proceed according to your wishes. Is there anything I need to do later?"
"Elder Shen, please wait to the side for now. When the ti cos, I will naturally let you know," Gongye Heng said.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing stepped back.
The next mont, he saw Gongye Heng use tongs to extract the long iron bar from the forge. With his other hand, he gripped a large hamr and struck down fiercely.
CLANG—
Sparks flew in all directions. The iron bar vibrated lightly, and continuous beastly cries resounded from within it.
The long iron bar was no longer the original large horn of Red Phosphorus; it was now an embryonic form, created by fusing nurous materials.
While Gongye Heng was hamring, Shen Changqing and Gongye Yue both remained silent.
CLANG!
CLANG!!
The sounds of Gongye Heng’s hamring echoed in the courtyard.
In Shen Changqing’s eyes, every one of Gongye Heng’s hamr strikes, though seemingly casual and ordinary, possessed an indescribable rhythm. That feeling... it was as if the hamring was an art form. Yes, art! Honestly, this was his first ti witnessing soone personally forge a Divine Weapon. But with just one look, Shen Changqing could affirm that Gongye Heng’s accomplishnts in this field were far beyond his imagination. This was true even though he wasn’t proficient in smithing. It was simple. Many people walked any given path, but to truly reach the pinnacle was exceedingly difficult. After advancing to Half-Step Great Grandmaster, Shen Changqing had gained a subtle understanding of many things.
