Chapter 157

"Could it be meteorite iron?" Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Lu Qing was overjoyed.

In the inheritance of the Li Huo Sect, this rare spiritual material was highly regarded and praised as one of the best materials for refining spiritual weapon embryos.

When the mid-grade spiritual tool, the Li Huo Cauldron, was being refined, a significant amount of Heaven's Meteorite Iron had been added by the Li Huo Sect.

The young master of the Li Huo Sect had once lamented in the inheritance records that if the entire body of the Li Huo Cauldron had been made of Heaven's Meteorite Iron, they would not have lost in that sect war.

Unfortunately, Heaven's Meteorite Iron was extremely rare. Even with the Li Huo Sect's accumulation over thousands of years, they hadn't gathered much.

Lu Qing hadn't expected to find several large pieces of Heaven's Meteorite Iron in the Spatial Qi Bag.

"It seems that the refinement of my battle knife can be prioritized."

Lu Qing's battle knife had been damaged in the fight with the burly man, and he hadn't found a suitable replacement since then.

Although the Wei family had provided some precious swords for him to choose from, he felt that while those swords were good, they weren't significantly better than his original one, so he hadn't picked any.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Li Huo Sect, he became even more determined to forge a precious knife by himself.

Originally, he had planned to find some good iron stones after attending the apprentice ceremony of Mago and Wei Zian.

Now, with this Heaven's Meteorite Iron, it was better than any refining material.

After admiring the pieces of Heaven's Meteorite Iron for a while, Lu Qing put them back into the Spatial Qi Bag.

He also put the books he had just bought, along with other miscellaneous items, into the bag.

With this, Lu Qing felt refreshed. Except for his clothes and the Spatial Qi Bag, he had no other burdens.

In fact, spiritual tools could be stored within the body.

However, Lu Qing was not a cultivator yet, not even at the Precelestial level. His qi orifice had not been opened, so he couldn't store the Spatial Qi Bag in his dantian for nurturing; he could only hang it temporarily on his body.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Qing walked to the small courtyard outside, found a comfortable spot, and with a slight thought, took out a book from the Spatial Qi Bag and leisurely read it.

This time, he didn't choose to directly use his ability to download the contents of the book; instead, he turned the pages one by one, enjoying the pleasure of reading and passing the time.

After all, life wasn't just about cultivation; there were times when one needed to relax.

The proper way of cultivation was to balance work and rest.

Unfortunately, there was no river in the city; otherwise, Lu Qing would have wanted to go fishing.

He spent a few hours pleasantly reading in the small courtyard until the Wei family's servant came to inform him that dinner was ready. Only then did Lu Qing put away his book.

He followed the servant to the dining hall with a satisfied heart.

In one afternoon, he had read a small part of the books he bought.

He had gained much understanding about many things in this world.

The acquisition of knowledge could make one feel fulfilled.

So he was in a very good mood.

When he arrived at the dining hall, he saw his master, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Li, and even the head steward Wei was present.

During dinner, Lu Qing learned that the head steward Wei had already discussed with the Ma family, and the apprentice ceremony was set for three days later.

Tomorrow, they would send out invitations to invite various families and forces in the city to attend.

Three days, that was plenty of time.

After learning this, Lu Qing thought for a while and went to find Wei Xinghe after dinner.

"Master Wei, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

"Oh, what is it? Please tell me, Young Master Lu."

Wei Xinghe was immediately invigorated and said quickly.

It was rare for Lu Qing to ask him for help; this was a good opportunity to get closer.

"I have a list here with some materials on it. I wonder if Master Wei could help me gather them. I can pay for them."

Lu Qing took out a note.

"Young Master Lu, how could you say such a thing? Collecting some materials is no trouble at all, and there's no need for you to spend money."

Wei Xinghe took the note, opened it, and was surprised.

Because some of the materials on the list were quite unusual and not easy to find.

"Young Master Lu, if I may ask, what do you need these materials for?"

"I need them to prepare a kind of potion. What's the matter, Master Wei? Are these materials hard to find?"

Lu Qing was a bit anxious. The materials on the list were organized according to the records in the inheritance of the Li Huo Sect.

Although there were no spiritual materials in them, he was not sure if they could all be found.

After all, the Li Huo Sect was a long time ago, who knew if some of the materials still existed.

"It's not that difficult. Most of the items are available in the secret vault of the mansion, but a few might require some effort. It might take a few days to get a response," Wei Xinghe said.

"That's fine. I'm not in a hurry," Lu Qing smiled. "Master Wei, please try to gather them. If you really can't find them, it's okay."

If the materials were incomplete, the potion's effect would be weaker. He would just have to put in more effort; it wouldn't be a big issue.

"I'll arrange for someone to look for them right away."

Hearing Lu Qing say this, Wei Xinghe felt relieved.

But he also decided in his heart that he must handle this matter well.

It was rare for Lu Qing to ask for his help; such opportunities were not common.

"By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to ask Master Wei about."

"Please, go ahead."

"I wonder which blacksmith shop in this county is the best?"

...

Early the next morning.

"Young Master Lu, this Heart Forging Workshop is the best blacksmith shop here. The owner, Master Lin, has a superb mastery of the Fiery Hammer Technique, with almost the skill of a master weapon craftsman."

Standing in front of a blacksmith shop, the head steward Wei introduced it to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked at the various weapons hanging inside and the faintly visible hot atmosphere, nodding, "Thank you for the trouble, head steward."

"Head steward Wei, you're here! The owner is waiting inside. Please, come in."

At this moment, a middle-aged fat man, who looked like a shopkeeper, hurriedly came out from inside, bowing and scraping.

"Thank you, Manager Wang, for leading the way."

Knowing that Lu Qing wanted to visit the best blacksmith shop in the city, Wei Xinghe had made arrangements last night.

"No trouble at all. Please, come in."

Lu Qing and the head steward Wei followed the shopkeeper inside.

The blacksmith shop looked small from the outside but was very spacious inside.

As soon as they reached the backyard, Lu Qing felt a wave of heat.

A busy scene unfolded before him.

Several blacksmith furnaces were spewing flames, surrounded by more than ten shirtless burly men. Some were working the bellows, some were forging iron blocks, and some were quenching. Everyone had their own tasks, busily forging various items.

Among them, a short but extremely robust red-faced old man, with extremely thick arms, walked around with a stern face, occasionally shouting to correct the men's actions.

The middle-aged shopkeeper ran over and reported to the old man.

The old man turned his head and looked over, then walked towards them.

"Head steward Wei, your presence brings light to our humble workshop. My apologies for not greeting you earlier."

The old man cupped his hands and said in a loud voice.

"Master Lin, you are too kind. I should be the one apologizing for disturbing you when you are busy," the head steward Wei smiled.

"Haha, this is no disturbance at all. You are too polite, head steward Wei. It is an honor for our Heart Forging Workshop to have you visit."

The old man waved his hand and laughed heartily.

Then he turned his gaze to Lu Qing, "This must be the young hero you mentioned in your invitation, who wishes to visit our Heart Forging Workshop?"
