Chapter 17: Forging
Shi Xueyun’s words truly put him at ease, she’s the only one who would trust him when everybody else around him wouldn’t and that’s enough for Yi Tianyun, enough to keep him going.
Yi Tianyun smiled lightly and said immediately: “I will live up to aunt’s expectation who believes in me!”
Following Shi Xueyun, everyone came to the temporary forging room, which was originally built for Master Kong. Considering there will be more people helping to forge weapon here, it would be better to build a new forging room that is bigger.
Since this room is relatively new, there is not that much equipment here, that being said, it is enough to forge spirit tool.
“These are the materials originally prepared for Master Kong to forge spirit tool, but we only prepared five sets of materials, in other words only two failure at most for him.” But now that it becomes a challenge for Yi Tianyun, he only needs to successfully forge one Spirit Tool which means he can fail 4 times.
“I won’t fail, not even once.” Yi Tianyun said indifferently.
He is well aware of the level of the blacksmith skill he obtained earlier, and he’s convinced that he can forge a good spirit tool, but due to the level of his blacksmith skill, he can only forge a low level spirit tool, but that’s good enough, what matters is to prove that he can forge a spirit tool.
“You won’t fail? Not even once?, that’s big coming from you, unless you reach have reached fifth level blacksmith. Your blacksmith level is already that high or what?”
It’s as if Yi Tianyun made fun of him, because even at his age and level he can’t guarantee 100% success to forge a spirit tool, at most he can guarantee 50%. So when Yi Tianyun said he won’t fail, he was so irritated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I am indeed not a fifth level blacksmith , but who said to forge a successful spirit tool, you must be at least fifth level blacksmith?” Yi Tianyun said a faint sentence, then immediately looked at Shi Xueyun and said: “What kind of weapon should I forge?”
“A long sword, we mostly use long swords here.” Shi Xueyun said.
Yi Tianyun nodded and picked some materials, then he approached the furnace. This furnace is full of ordinary flames, so the process will take a while.
However, this won’t be a hindrance, this is just enough to forge a spirit tool .
“I want to see how long you can keep this farce up!” Kong master thought that Yi Tianyun was bluffing, he wanted to see his expression when everyone knows he just pretend to be able to forge a spirit tool as revenge for declining his offer.
Yi Tianyun is after all an infamous trash who doesn’t possess blood qi and can’t cultivate, now that trash thinks he can forge a spirit tool?
Yi Tianyun completely ignored him and was getting ready to put in the materials into the furnace.
The three elders chatters inconspicuously, they are so skeptical toward Yi Tianyun. They thought that Palace lord treats Yi Tianyun specially. If he fails, not only we will suffer a great financial loss, but also attract Master Kong’s hostility. It’s like rubbing salt on your wound.
“Palace Lord, if he fail…” Third Elder couldn’t help but say.
“You can hold me responsible for that.” Shi Xueyun faintly replied.
“Palace Lord, you can’t act on a whim like this, I know that you are pampering him, but you must make decisions logically! What shall we do if he fails? How do we enter the Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins, if we have no suitable weapon!” She kept worrying about the worst possibilities. She is already unable to get the quota to enter ancient ruins for her disciple. Now, if he fails, even the weapons to enter the ruins are gone.
The price of these materials is not cheap, so every failure is extremely distressing.
“I will bear any consequences regarding this matter.” Shi Xueyun responded so faintly.
Third Elder filled with doubt and dissatisfaction, but since their position and authority is below palace lord, all they can do is retreat to the corner.
Third Elder ?did not intervene with the forging, but Second Elder is getting impatient and she keeps jabbering nonsense.
“If he fails, we will report this matter to the ancestors, and leave the decision to them!” Second Elder suddenly added another sentence.
In an organization, the oldest is not the elders, but ancestors who have retired, their realms are unfathomable, as the most powerful backing.
“Feel free to do so.” Shi Xueyun said faintly.
This makes her even more infuriated, because she thinks this is all for for Jade Palace.
“Palace Lord, I can…” Xiao Lian felt that things have gone too far, and she felt responsible, then ?whispered to Shi Xueyun.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore she managed to finish her sentence, Shi Xueyun said indifferently: “I believe in him.”
Xiao Lian glanced up and looked up at Yi Tianyun, she felt a deep admiration toward him for standing up for her.
During the conversation, Yi Tianyun put in all the materials into the furnace, and began the process.
“Haha, How long are you going to make fool out of yourself? Throwing all the materials at once, you really are dumb! Even if you want to pretend, at least make make it believable!” Kong master pointed at Yi Tianyun’s behavior and laughed.
Yi Tianyun ignored him, he channels his spiritual power to the weapon at his own pace, and continuing to temper the weapon.
The other elders can only watch from afar now since whatever they say to Shi Xueyun is meaningless now.
“It’s a pity, those good material have become scap now. If only you are not so stubborn and insist to forge the spirit tools without fail, even i can only forge it at 50% chance. But still it’s better than seeing the materials become scrap like this…” Master Kong laughed and thought that Yi Tianyun is only making fun of himself at this rate.
Yi Tianyun remain calm, letting Master Kong say whatever he wants.
As time went by, the furnace did not explode, and the material inside gradually began to take shape. Formed a long sword, with the constant tempering, keep shrinking, it looks more and more like a long sword.
At this time, Master Kong’s laughter ended abruptly, and his face glared at the sword in the furnace. If he failed, it wouldn’t shape like that, it would instantly become scrap.
“This, this is impossible… To refine all the materials at once you need absolutely strong control. This is absolutely impossible!” Master Kong began to panic. He thought Yi Tianyun would fail. But that’s not the case.
Yi Tianyun showed him he won’t fail, and will keep shaping his future toward success the way he is now.
