Chapter 36: You’re Grown Up Now
After Luo Xiuyong brought Gu Yu to the weapon forging workshop, Gu Yu didn’t stand around foolishly. Instead, he quickly walked inside to observe.
Upon seeing that the smelting tools were all available, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Judging solely by the quality of the tools, they were not comparable to an ordinary blacksmith’s shop.
“Who are you? Outsiders are not welcome here!”
“Blacksmith Guo, I am Luo Xiuyong. Acting under the sect leader’s orders, I’ve specifically brought Gu Yu here to forge a weapon.”
“Oh, I’ve already received the message. What kind of weapon do you intend to forge?”
“It’s just some materials I happened to obtain. Blacksmith Guo doesn’t need to do anything; I’ll do it myself.”
As Gu Yu was observing the tools in the workshop, a deep voice suddenly sounded. Immediately after, a burly big man strode quickly towards them.
When he stood beside Gu Yu, Gu Yu suddenly realized how slender he was!
The big man’s arms were thicker than his legs…
These arms were practically mutated compared to ordinary people!
What did he eat to grow this way!
Spinach?
Gu Yu only glanced a few more times at the big man’s abnormality. When he snapped back to reality and heard Luo Xiuyong mention the other person’s identity, he immediately stated the purpose of his visit.
Something like Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice…
It wasn’t that Gu Yu looked down on the man, but he was stating a fact. Besides himself, no one else could forge this miraculous material.
Furthermore, if it weren’t for the spirit acting as an intermediary, even Gu Yu wouldn’t be able to touch this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.
This thing that looked like a stone was deadly!
Therefore, Gu Yu could only forge the weapon himself; he couldn’t even slack off.
However, being able to personally forge a weapon for his little wife… thinking about it was quite exciting!
After becoming his wife, when she was on the battlefield, presenting a weapon forged from Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice would shock everyone at its very first appearance, deterring them from engaging her!
Afterward, as everyone retreated in fear, Gu Mengyao would charge forward with her spear, slaughtering everything in her path.
When the enemies lay dying on the ground, they would unwillingly ask about the origin of this weapon… at that time, Gu Mengyao would flash a devilish and unrestrained smile, softly saying.
‘A weapon forged by my husband, naturally it’s extraordinary.’
After imagining this scenario, Gu Yu suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. He then looked up at the surrounding furnaces, wishing he could start forging the weapon right away!
He wanted to give his little wife the best!
“You want to forge a weapon? Don’t say anything else, just picking up the forging hammer alone, you wouldn’t be able to lift it.”
“I don’t need a hammer. I just need to borrow your furnace and other tools.”
Although he felt unconvinced by Blacksmith Guo’s words, Gu Yu looked at the giant hammer and decisively swallowed the words he wanted to retort. However, he still stubbornly spoke.
Even though he couldn’t lift the hammer, his Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice had a spirit!
Perhaps, he could make it cooperate then, and forging the weapon would be easy…
Even though he felt he was daydreaming, Gu Yu didn’t hesitate. Under Blacksmith Guo’s guidance, he came to a fiercely burning furnace and prepared to forge the weapon.
“I wonder what kind of weapon you want to forge. I have a ‘Hundred Weapons Compendium’ here. you can forge one according to the illustrations.”
Although he didn’t think the young man in front of him could successfully forge a weapon, Blacksmith Guo didn’t mock him. Instead, he took out his personally treasured book, preparing to let Gu Yu follow the illustrations to create one.
Just by looking at Gu Yu’s appearance, refusing to give up, he could tell that he genuinely wanted to forge a weapon.
Blacksmith Guo greatly admired such an energetic young man!
It even reminded him of himself many years ago, so persistent… eventually, he became one of the top blacksmiths in the Tang Sect!
“No need. I’ve already drawn the blueprints for the weapon.”
Gu Yu also felt the other person’s good intentions, but he didn’t have much hope for the weapon styles of ancient times. He still felt that the styles he designed himself would be more beautiful and majestic.
Of course, Gu Yu also borrowed some inspiration from online game weapon designs. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to come up with them all on his own.
Since he had already transmigrated to ancient times, the game company couldn’t come after him for plagiarism…
Seeing that Gu Yu was fully prepared, Blacksmith Guo no longer felt awkward and put away the books. He didn’t leave immediately but wanted to see if Gu Yu could successfully forge a weapon.
There wasn’t much work now, and time was ample.
As soon as he followed Luo Xiuyong, Gu Yu had already tied a cloth bag around his waist. He opened the bag at this moment and immediately took out the red Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.
It wasn’t a whole piece, but the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice had voluntarily split into pieces of varying sizes for different purposes.
In any case, as long as a spirit could appear around any piece of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, it would suffice.
Regarding this, Gu Yu guessed that the spirit was controlling the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice… before, when they were in the glacier, the spirit had lied.
It claimed it couldn’t move too far away from the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice. This statement seemed reasonable at first, but upon closer examination, loopholes were discovered.
The spirit was a miraculous creature produced by the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice. Just like a chick in an eggshell that has successfully hatched, does it still need the protection of the eggshell?
Furthermore, the chick would eat the entire eggshell to supplement its nutrition.
Now, the spirit had handed over the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice in exchange for the Space Spring Water.
Gu Yu wasn’t too concerned about what the truth was, as long as the spirit could guarantee that the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice wouldn’t lose its effect.
As for anything else, he was too lazy to think about it.
“This… what material is this? Why can I feel its immense power!”
Just as Gu Yu took out the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, Blacksmith Guo suddenly uttered something dramatic. This made Gu Yu look at him speechlessly, wondering what this old fellow was playing at?
Just by looking at it, he could sense its power?
If that were true, then Blacksmith Guo’s eyes were too powerful!
However, it wasn’t that Blacksmith Guo was exaggerating. He had touched and seen countless types of ores and materials in his life!
But the material Gu Yu had taken out was something he had never seen before!
Judging solely by the patterns and rare colors on the material, Blacksmith Guo immediately identified it as a top-quality material!
As he looked, and then saw Gu Yu, a forging novice, Blacksmith Guo suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Such excellent material, what a waste!
“Mysterious Ice, you’re grown up now. It’s time for you to transform into the shape you need.”
Gu Yu ignored the heartbroken expression on Blacksmith Guo’s face. He directly spread the blueprints he had drawn on a nearby table, then took out the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice again and placed it on top of the blueprints.
When Luo Xiuyong and Blacksmith Guo heard Gu Yu’s words, their faces showed suspicion, wondering if Gu Yu was trying to fool them?
What kind of material or ore could transform itself into a weapon?
Could Gu Yu’s brain have malfunctioned, leading him to have such a whimsical idea!
However, just as they were thinking this, the red stone pressing on the blueprints moved.
