Chapter 789: Reforging A Cultural Weapon (1)
Inside the research center.
The entire research center had been covered by the grotto. Su Yu was very shocked. Old Zhao sure was incredible. He had directly moved the grotto over and covered the research center with it.
And the earth weapon gave him an even bigger shock. Zhao Li was lifting the seal on the cultural weapon. The weapon hovered in the air and started warping repeatedly before taking the form of a massive hammer.
Looking at the floating hammer, Su Yu sank into contemplation. This hammer felt powerful, but he felt like it lacked something compared to the Hundred Dao Pagoda. Sure, the two were different types of weapons. But he couldn't help feeling like this hammer lacked something.
When Zhao Li saw Su Yu staring at the hammer, he said, "Stop looking. It has been unsealed. I will be completing the weapon with you as my assistant. I will be making my preparations. You continue. When you manage to forge a high profound cultural weapon, we will start."
"Teacher, isn't this too rash?"
That was what Su Yu felt. Why did Zhao Li unseal the weapon?
"Rash?" Zhao Li glanced at him and said, "Weren't you the one who had promised to help me with it?"
"..."
Holy shit!
He had not said anything about doing it immediately. And he didn't know that it would be this hard. This earth weapon was stronger and more complicated than the earth weapons he had seen in the hands of some Sunmoons before.
More importantly, failure would result in the destruction of Old Zhao's main character. That would be very troublesome.
Suddenly, the little furball flew out. He looked at the weapon and said, "Smells nice!"
He wanted to eat. There was a main character in that hammer. A character that had been nourished for decades.
Su Yu berated, "Come back here!"
The little furball appeared reluctant, but he obeyed.
Zhao Li did not react to that. He said, "Continue with your forging. I will proceed with my preparations. We're inside a grotto formed by a peak Sunmoon character. Invincibles can still pry upon us, but the grotto will react. It might even result in the explosion of my grotto. I will make that Invincible pay."
How was he going to make an Invincible pay? Easy. He would kill himself in front of the Invincible's home. Even an Invincible would be annoyed to death by that.
"Teacher, do you need any materials?"
As for Su Yu, he cared more about the process than the end result. There were still some differences between the two of them.
While Su Yu was hard at work.
He became even more famous than before. Or to be precise, Cui Lang became even more famous. Zhao Li had created quite a ruckus. He had moved the Source Qi Secret Grotto and manifested a hanging earth weapon in the sky. The weaponsmiths of the other prefectures had heard of this and all of them were rushing over, including Zhao Tianbing of Great Zhou.
According to the rumors, Zhao Li had decided to make this attempt because he saw hope after receiving the offer to help from Cui Lang. He was going to make the attempt with Cui Lang as his assistant.
Because of this, Cui Lang's name spread far and wide. Niu Baidao's unofficial student, ninth-stage Skysoar, and an early profound weaponsmith who might have advanced into the middle stage.
He had caught Zhao Li with his unique weaponsmithing skills. At thirty-five years old, he was quite young.
Of course, Cui Lang was still more widely known as someone who had seduced the granddaughter of a Sunmoon from Great Tang, Cheng Mo. As a ninth-stage Sunmoon, he was one of the pillars of Great Tang. He was an existence near the Invincible Realm. He was already as strong as the prefects of the various prefectures.
After leaving Great Ming, Cui Lang had actually offered to help Zhao Li complete his weapon. News of this spread everywhere. Some people said that upon success, both Zhao Li and his assistant would benefit greatly.
It wasn't like nobody had ever forged an earth weapon before. Earth weapons weren't too rare as each prefecture would have some in their possession. But Zhao Li's earth weapon was different. Strictly speaking, he wasn't forging an earth weapon. Rather, he was forging an embryonic heaven weapon. There was a difference between the two.
Every single heaven weapon was an incredible existence. Great Ming's Hundred Dao Pagoda was a heaven weapon. The Super Sensory Jade was a pseudo heaven weapon. A supportive weapon like this was actually much more valuable. Thus, it had the value of a proper heaven weapon even though it was only a pseudo heaven weapon.
Great Xia had the heaven weapon as well. It wasn't exactly a weapon. Rather, it was a tool that could steal a glimpse of the future, the Heaven Connecting Mirror. Strictly speaking, the mirror itself wasn't a heaven weapon. Numerous powerful characters had been installed inside the mirror to forcefully elevate it into a heaven weapon. And now, two profound weaponsmiths were going to make an attempt at forging an embryonic heaven weapon.
This attracted the attention of all weaponsmiths in the Human Realm. Naturally, this was also applicable to those in Great Ming. Thus, the experts and weaponsmiths of Great Ming were also rushing over to Great Xia. After all, one of the two main characters of this event was someone from Great Ming.
Great Ming.
Hu Qi was personally leading the Great Ming entourage. Worried about her safety, Vice Principal Wang followed her as well. Yes. There were two Sunmoons in this group. They brought with them a group of genius weaponsmiths comprised of both students and teachers.
Bai Jungsheng was one of them.
With a look of shock, Bai Junsheng said, "When did Senior Brother Cui Lang become a profound weaponsmith? He's going to complete a weapon alongside Master Zhao Li? And it's not even going to be a regular earth weapon? Is he really so good?"
Hu Qi said nothing.
A teacher sighed with admiration, "Cui Lang is truly a genius. He has actually reached the profound grade out of nowhere. He's not just a normal profound weaponsmith, but he's a middle profound weaponsmith. Regardless of the result of this project, he will benefit greatly. And the moment the embryonic heaven weapon is completed, he might be able to take this chance to reach the high or even peak profound grade."
Hu Qi maintained her silence. Inwardly, she was shocked. She knew that Su Yu was quite talented, but that fellow didn't seem to have dedicated much of his time to weaponsmithing. Even so, he had reached the profound grade.
She didn't know what Su Yu did in the pagoda. When Su Yu challenged the pagoda, she was in the middle of seclusion. Even if she hadn't been in seclusion, she might still be unaware of that.
