Ancient Strengthening Technique - Chapter 2451

Chapter 2451

AST 2451 - This Might Be Another Type of Life?

Qing Shui smiled . "To be honest, the weapons here are only ordinary . I also know how to forge weapons myself and the main reason I'm here today is that I saw you outside and found you very familiar . That's why I couldn't help but come over . You won't blame me for being too straightforward, right?"

"Of course I won't . If you don't have any other matters for me, I'll be starting my work . " The lady smiled .

"Your cultivation isn't bad . Why are you keeping watch over such a blacksmith store?" Qing Shui couldn't find the reason and asked .

The lady was taken by surprise for a moment and she looked at Qing Shui . It was true that she was quite strong, but what surprised her was that Qing Shui could tell . Peak Cave Realm cultivators would be considered as quite strong existences no matter where they went .

The reason why Qing Shui was stunned earlier on was also because of her strength .

"This was my father's dying wish . It's his lifelong wish to make his blacksmith store successful . " The lady hesitated a bit before saying .

"To be honest, it won't be easy to expand the business with this quality . There isn't anything that can act as the prized item in the store . "

"I know . Blacksmithing also requires talent and some legacies . I'm trying my best now, so I'll just leave the store as is for now . This is a place I know a little better . "

Her tone was nonchalant, as if she had no emotions . She was merely being cold and not wearing any smiles . Even her occasional smiles would make her appear even colder .

"I know a little about blacksmithing as well . Can I forge something here?" Qing Shui gave it some thought before saying .

"Go ahead . " The lady pointed to a forging platform .

Qing Shui nodded and began the refinement process as well as the blacksmithing . His Thousand Hammer Technique had already reached a terrifying realm and right now, Qing Shui no longer looked like he was doing blacksmithing, but instead, gave off an enjoyable feeling .

One time, two times . . .

After many times later, Qing Shui's work gave off a good vibe, despite the fact that not much time had passed . An ordinary piece of metal now had become a Tempered Metallic Essence . This was a qualitative change . Qing Shui didn't stop there and continued to hammer and melt it .

Thereafter, the workpiece shone once again and the grade of the Tempered Metallic Essence rose even further . It could now be comparable to those valuable metals in the game, Mythril . However, this was merely an ordinary piece of metal and all of its potential had been squeezed out entirely .

The next step was forging .

Qing Shui had a high level of mastery in that area . The Ancient Art of Forging was considered to be a school of its own .

Time passed by bit by bit and Qing Shui was completely engrossed . The lady was also deeply attracted and didn't feel a thing about the passing time .

Ding!

When the crisp sound rang out and a stream of snow-white glow flashed, both Qing Shui and the lady got back to their senses . They then stared at the three-feet longsword that was right before Qing Shui . It was snow-white like jade and had a faint divine aura .

If the lady hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that it was possible to forge such a longsword using ordinary materials .

Legendary grade, Region False God Weapon, and divine artifact .

The legendary grade was already very powerful . However, Qing Shui took a look at this three-feet longsword and felt that it could only be considered to be mediocre amongst the legendary grade weapons . Not everyone could get their hands on divine artifacts, and many powerful cultivators could only use legendary grade weapons . There were quite a number of legendary grade weapons that blacksmiths could forge using good materials . Divine artifacts, on the other hand, required favorable climatic, geographical and human conditions .

"Take a look and see if you're satisfied with this . " Qing Shui handed the three-feet longsword to the lady .

When the lady picked it, she was instantly mesmerized . She hadn't expected that the sword would be of legendary grade .

"How did you do that? Miraculous craftsman . . . Are you a miraculous craftsman?" The lady was a little agitated . Over the years, she had walked very far on the path of blacksmithing .

"I don't specialize in this and it has been many years since I've forged something . I've only tried it out after meeting you today," Qing Shui replied honestly .

The lady was dealt yet another blow . A blacksmith of Qing Shui's level would practically not leave his hammer . The fact that he hadn't forged anything for many years went to show that blacksmithing wasn't his main focus . Looking at the longsword in her hands, the lady let out a rare smile, "The reason you came to look for me was to forge a weapon?"

"Of course not . To be honest, I have no idea either . I just entered the store without thinking of wanting to do anything . " Qing Shui looked at the lady and had the feeling of returning to the days when he was still a youth .

"I understand, but know that I'm not her after all . As time passes, you won't have the feeling as if we met before . "

"I believe in fate . I'm very happy to meet you today . Since you have this blacksmith store, I'll give this hammer technique to you . I hope you'll like it . " Qing Shui gave it some thought before saying .

Each time Qing Shui thought of Wenren Wugou, his heart would ache . It was also a pain in Wenren Wu-shuang's heart . Although those people were killed, their feelings of hatred wouldn't disappear and Wenren Wugou wouldn't be able to come back to life . Her death would be a needle in Qing Shui's heart that would never disappear .

Meeting that lady today gave him the feeling as if he had met Wenren Wugou once again . Therefore, Qing Shui wanted to change her . As long as she was happy and it was within his means, Qing Shui could give her everything she wanted .

"Did you like her?" The lady wasn’t surprised by Qing Shui’s offer .

"I'm not sure . I was very young back then . In her eyes, I was just a kid . " Qing Shui smiled .

"Don’t get stuck in the past . Let it go . Even if she's in the other world, she'd hope for you guys to be happy," The lady said softly .

"Then you . . . "

"If you're insistent on teaching me this hammer technique, I'll be glad to learn it," The lady quickly continued .

Qing Shui then taught her the Thousand Hammer Technique . She picked it up very quickly and Qing Shui was very engrossed in his teaching . He even held her hand and taught her personally . The lady looked at Qing Shui's serious expression . With no hint of frivolousness at all, she didn't stop him and let him be .

Time passed by, and when Qing Shui got back to his senses, the sky had already turned dark .

"Thank you!" The lady smiled and said .

"I should be the one saying my gratitude . Doing this makes me feel a little happy . Meeting you was a compensation for me by the heavens . Maybe this might be a little disrespectful toward you, but I'll feel happy when I see that you're happy . I hope that you can lead a happy and blissful life . "

"Haha, you're treating me as her replacement . " The lady shook her head, not feeling any unhappiness at all . However, her tone sounded a little forced .

"Please forgive me for my selfishness . "

"It's nothing . It's also good to be able to help someone like this . This will be the only time . "

"I'm already satisfied . I'll come and visit you in the future when I'm free . I’ll bring my wife along," Qing Shui said seriously .

"Mmm, I don't usually leave this place . "

. . .

Qing Shui found the manor they rented . No one asked what Qing Shui did during his absence .

They stayed there for several days, but less than a week . During that period of time, Qing Shui would visit the blacksmith store almost daily . The lady didn't tell Qing Shui her name . Her character was completely different from Wenren Wugou's, but her appearance was identical . At the very least, Qing Shui couldn't tell any difference . However, he knew that it was impossible for this lady to be Wenren Wugou .

One week later, Qing Shui and the others left . During that one week, Qing Shui gave the lady quite a number of items . However, the majority of them were martial techniques . They had gotten along well and he even helped her to nurture her constitution and performed impurities cleansing . He also gave her a set of medicinal pills . There was a note inside indicating the detailed effects of each one .

Qing Shui felt that there might be a day when she would appear before him once again . When that time arrived, she might be Wenren Wugou .
