Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 148: Forging a Magical Weapon

"The heartbeat of the knife?" Gu Chudong asked in confusion, "How can a knife have a heartbeat?"

Nangong Qun stared intently at the iron box on Gu Mo's back, his eyes gleaming with faith and longing. He said in a deep voice, "No, Miss Gu, weapons have heartbeats. Weapons without heartbeats are dead and incomplete."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "Aren't all weapons dead?"

Nangong Qun shook his head slightly without explaining.

Gu Mo took the iron box off his back and said, "I heard from Fairy Nangong that the owner of Nangong Manor is willing to use the Ice Soul on this knife..."

"Use it, use it, you must use it!"

Nangong Qun could no longer suppress his inner excitement. Seeing Gu Mo holding the iron box nonchalantly, his heart was in his throat. His hands unconsciously wanted to hold the iron box, for fear that Gu Mo would accidentally drop the box on the ground.

In his eyes, the iron box seemed to contain not an extremely hard knife, but a very fragile piece of jade.

"Let's go, let's go,"

Nangong Qun no longer cared about etiquette and hurriedly said to Gu Mo, "Master Gu, I have taken out the Bingpo and placed it in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. I will take you there now..."

Nangong Yuexi hurriedly said, "Dad, since Master Gu has come here, you should prepare a welcoming banquet for him first. We can talk about anything later. How can you be so rude?"

Nangong Qun's frantic eyes showed a rare hint of clarity, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, Master Gu, please..."

"No need," Gu Mo said, "You can eat anytime. Manor Master Nangong is a master of weapons. It's a torture to have a magic weapon in front of you but not be able to see its face. Every extra quarter of an hour is torture. Manor Master Nangong, go to the Magic Weapon Pavilion first."

"Okay, okay." Nangong Qun was very excited and said, "Master Gu, please come in, please come in!"

Immediately,

Nangong Qun didn't even give Nangong Yuexi a chance to speak before bringing Gu Mo into the villa. They walked so fast that it felt like they wanted to just run away.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuexi sighed helplessly, said nothing more, and followed quietly.

Shenbing Villa is very large, with various pavilions, towers, rockery and lakes, which is very luxurious.

but,

Gu Chudong had no time to appreciate it, because Nangong Qun was in a hurry and walked very fast in front, leading the way, so she and Gu Mo had to follow quickly.

Soon, they arrived at a large attic.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Chudong was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The hall was filled with weapons arrayed like mountains and seas. Various weapons were placed on the numerous shelves, with spears and halberds standing in a row, swords flashing with cold light, short knives and daggers exquisite and eye-catching. All of them were of excellent quality and were by no means ordinary items.

It’s like entering a world of weapons.

Nangong Yuexi ordered the guards to guard outside the door, and only she, Nangong Qun, and Gu Mo's siblings came in.

Nangong Qun looked calm as he led the way. When they reached a place, he raised his hand and opened the door of a dark room. Suddenly, a wave of heat came towards them.

Nangong Yuexi explained, "There's an underground chamber beneath my Divine Weapon Pavilion. It's a perpetually nurturing underground fire. This underground fire is a natural, earth-nurtured fire. Many materials require this fire to melt before they can be forged into weapons."

After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a vast palace. A blazing fire was burning inside, and a massive weapons furnace was emitting blazing heat. Several craftsmen were busy forging weapons.

The fire illuminated everyone's faces, and the clanging of hammers filled the air. In the center of the fire, a long sword hovered quietly. Its broad blade, its cold light reflecting off the flames, shone with extraordinary dominance.

Even if you were only a few feet away, you could still feel the extraordinary nature of the knife.

"What kind of knife is that?" Gu Chudong asked.

Nangong Yuexi said, "The Shocking Divine Sword, Miss Gu, have you heard of it?"

Gu Chudong thought for a moment and said, "The sword of the Sword Emperor Ye Jinglan?"

Nangong Yuexi nodded slightly and said, "This sword is my father's most proud work. He gave it to Sect Master Ye three years ago. During these three years, this God-Shocking Sword has been with Sect Master Ye in his battles, and it has become a little damaged.

In the near future, Ye Men will be dueling with Chu Tianqing, leader of the Jiujiang Alliance. So, I asked my father to repair this sword, striving to be in top condition for the duel with Chu. This is a sign of respect for both the opponent and myself."

Gu Chudong nodded and said, "I've heard of the Shocking God Sword. It's a rare divine weapon in the world..."

Nangong Qun suddenly said, "It's just a dead sword. How can it be considered a divine weapon? It's just harder and sharper. Only weapons with souls like the Gou Chen Sword can be called true divine weapons!" Nangong Yuexi looked helpless and whispered, "Miss Gu, don't pay attention to my father. He is very stubborn. I don't know where he got this idea. He insists that there are two types of weapons in the world: divine weapons with souls, and ordinary weapons. All weapons are ordinary. Since then, he has been like crazy, obsessed with creating and finding weapons with souls. He's fine on weekdays, but he will talk nonsense when talking about weapons. He will argue with everyone. You must not respond to him, otherwise he will chatter non-stop!"

Although Gu Chudong didn't understand, she expressed her respect.

Fortunately, Nangong Qun didn't want to argue with them about the theory of divine weapons and ordinary weapons. After saying a few words, he hurried into a small room. Soon, he came out holding a sandalwood box.

Nangong Qun quickly ran over to Gu Mo and said, "Master Gu, this is Bingpo. The so-called Bingpo is actually fine jade taken from the depths of a thousand-year-old glacier. It is transformed by cold air and is the coldest thing in the world. However, generally speaking, it doesn't have much significance. It is basically used by the royal family to preserve corpses from rotting.

I purchased this piece of ice spirit from a Western Region merchant over a decade ago. When I first saw it, I inexplicably had an idea: I thought it could be used on weapons. Many weapons in the world possess souls when they are first created, but those souls don't last long enough before becoming mortal objects. However, this ice spirit might be able to nourish and preserve that soul.

But unfortunately, over the past decade or so, I have forged many weapons that have given birth to souls, but the souls are too fragile, and even the Ice Soul cannot preserve them. Even the Jingshen Sword that I gave to Ye Jinglan, the sword soul is also very fragile, and the Ice Soul cannot be used.

But now I think, perhaps it was destined that my icy soul would have to wait until its true destination, the arrival of the Gou Chen Blade. I have heard the Gou Chen Blade's call; its soul needs a place to rest, its heat needs a place to rest!"

As he spoke, Nangong Qun opened the box. Suddenly, a burst of cold air spread out, making the originally very hot hall instantly become gloomy and chilly. The blazing underground fire actually weakened at this moment.

It was a transparent stone the size of a fist, as translucent as crystal and emitting a cold blue light.

At that moment,

Gu Mo felt that the Gou Chen Demon Sword in the box in his hand suddenly became violent, making a "buzzing" sound and erupting with a terrifying heat wave. In that instant, the ice seal that Gu Mo had reinforced with the ice qi this morning began to melt, and cold water flowed out of the box.

“It’s echoing, it’s echoing!”

Nangong Qun trembled all over, his face turned red, and he shouted hurriedly: "Hero Gu, please stop suppressing it, let it out, let it out quickly!"

Gu Mo frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that won't work, Master Nangong. This knife has evil nature and can control people's minds. If it is not sealed, I'm afraid there will be big problems."

"No, Master Gu, don't worry," Nangong Qun said, "Just let it out. I have my own way to calm it down. Besides, I need to fuse the Ice Soul into the Gou Chen Sword, so I have to release it.

Also, Master Gu, Bingpo doesn't suppress the Gouchen Blade's soul, but rather fuses it with it, effectively creating a physical entity from it. Well, since you're a master of internal energy, I can put it another way: you can think of the Gouchen Blade's demonic power or soul as a surge of uncontrolled, violent, and intensely yang energy, while the blade itself represents the warrior's dantian, being buffeted by that intensely yang energy.

At this time, integrating the Ice Soul is equivalent to introducing a stream of extremely cold Qi into the Dantian. The fusion of the two can not only solve the problem of the violent Yang Qi, but also directly enter the realm of mutual assistance between Yin and Yang. If you take it a step further, you can achieve the state of participating in the creation of nature! "

Gu Mo asked: "How to go further?"

Nangong Qun's eyes were filled with longing. He said, "I don't know. I've never forged a divine weapon that merged souls in my entire life, so there's no way of knowing what a higher-level one might be. But, hero Gu, don't worry. Give me some time. After I fuse the Ice Soul with the Gou Chen Blade, I will definitely find a way to enhance the divine nature of the divine weapon. You must believe me, hero Gu. Give me this blade. I will use everything I've learned in my life to forge the most perfect divine weapon. Hero Gu..."

Although Gu Mo couldn't see, he could feel Nangong Qun's enthusiasm, just like a dog bootlicking a goddess.

"Let's fuse the ice soul first!" Gu Mo said.

"Good good!"

Nangong Qun took the iron box from Gu Mo and slowly opened it.

Without Gu Mo's replenishment of true energy, the ice inside quickly melted, revealing a flaming sword.

Nangong Qun held his breath, his eyes full of piety, and slowly reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife.

At that moment, Gu Mo became alert and ready to take action at any time.

However, to his surprise,

The moment Nangong Qun touched the demon sword, it suddenly calmed down, the raging flames disappeared, and its true appearance was revealed for the first time.

Like a nimble black dragon, the blade was composed of countless irregular black scales, each gleaming with a deep, dark light. These scales rose and fell across the blade, giving it the appearance of a living being. Its surface was covered in strange patterns, resembling ancient runes or the seals of an evil curse.

Nangong Qun's breathing became very rapid, and he shouted, "Everyone stop what you are doing, open the bellows, pour the ground fire, and start the fire formation."

A blacksmith hurriedly said, "Master, the Shocking God Sword hasn't been..."

"Forget about it," Nangong Qun said, holding the demon sword in one hand and Bingpo in the other, walking towards the weapon forging furnace in the underground fire, "Yuexi, go and inform them later. No matter what happens outside, no one is allowed to disturb me within half a month!"

"Dad, I'm getting married in three days!"

"Your master and your great-grandmaster are coming. Let them take you off to marry. Your father won't be free!"

Nangong Yuexi: “…”
