Chapter 1019 - Should Be, May Be, Probably?

“There’s actually such a forging technique to condense one’s True Qi into True Fire?” Ling Chuxi’s heart thumped when she heard it.

“That’s nothing. There is still the mysterious and divine level forging techniques, but those aren’t something we can understand at our level,” said Gongxi Kuangdao.

“Then what level of forging technique can your Gongxi clan’s most powerful forger use?” Ling Chuxi also knew that the so-called mysterious level and divine level forging techniques were only legends and were still too far away from her, so she didn’t ask further. So instead she asked about the Gongxi clan’s forging strength.

Gongxi Kuangdao coughed twice and awkwardly said, “The elders have all mastered intermediate forging techniques. With their strength, they should have the chance to learn advanced forging techniques.”

“But in history, our Gongxi clan once had seventeen forging masters who mastered advanced forging techniques. It is said that one of them also learned mysterious level forging techniques.” Gongxi Kuangdao felt that it was a little too embarrassing to leave it at ‘intermediate forging techniques’ so he decided to add a little more to the story.

No wonder the clan had fallen into such a miserable situation. It turned out that apart from the decline of their martial arts, even their blacksmithing skills had become so poor in the demon dimension. But then again, if not for this reason, how could Gongxi Kuangdao willingly swear to repay Ling Chuxi’s promise with his life?

“What about you?” asked Ling Chuxi again.

“Well, actually my forging skill has already reached the peak of the beginner level, which can also be said to be the intermediate level.” Gongxi Kuangdao was obviously not confident when he said this.

“Then can you forge refined gold and mithril?” asked Ling Chuxi.

“I think… maybe… maybe, I can try.” Gongxi Kuangdao grew even less confident.

Only then did Ling Chuxi remember that the last time she followed Gongxi Kuangdao, she heard him say that he had the chance to forge the Eight Wasteland Sacred Blade. In other words, he didn’t have much confidence. What he said about picking a fight with Golden Pill Sect and seeking revenge on Duan Qingchen were just an extreme fantasy he conjured in his excitement.

“Forget it, then I won’t try it today. Teach me how to forge the array first. After I learn it, I’ll try to use it to forge the Black Dragon Gold into a proper Eight Desolation Blade.” Ling Chuxi knew that the array was very magical and couldn’t be learned in a short time, so she was not in a hurry. However, she still felt regretful that she could not forge the blade into a spiritual weapon, so she wanted to use refined gold and mithril to make up for it.

“Thank you for your generosity, my Lady… I.. I…” Gongxi Kuangdao was so excited that he did not know what to say.

The quality of the Eight Wasteland Blade she just forged had far exceeded Gongxi Kuangdao’s expectations. Even if he had performed as well as Ling Chuxi earlier, he still wouldn’t have been able to forge the Eight Wasteland Blade. He might add the Black Dragon Gold to increase its quality and make it peerless, but even then, it still wouldn’t turn out as a spiritual weapon. In fact, it would only be slightly inferior to their ancestral holy blade. Basically, at his level, even if he had refined gold and mithril, he still might not be able to forge them to their full potential.

“Teach me how to forge arrays first.” said Ling Chuxi with a laugh when she saw Gongxi Kuangdao’s excitement growing.

“Okay, okay.” Gongxi Kuangdao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Immediately, Gongxi Kuangdao wrote, sketched out, and taught Ling Chuxi some of the arrays used for forging. Although they were only used for forging and could not be compared to the teleportation or defense arrays of the major sects, they were still ingenious and mysterious. Ling Chuxi could only memorize them and slowly study them when she went back.
