’’Wait for me to finish this, then we'll go home.’ ‘Qing Shui said while smiling at the two women.
After he said that, he started working again, not realizing how ambiguous his words sounded. The man below him had not left yet and was watching him with great jealousy. The woman that not even the 3rd young master of the Qi Clan could touch was actually the property of the demon-looking young man who was smithing. How could he not be amazed?
Canghai Mingyue nodded at Qing Shui without a sound. He found himself numb and could only silently accept Qing Shui's unintentional and vague words.
Although Qing Shui did not see Canghai Mingyue's reaction, he could feel it through her actions. He kept a small smile on his face, lowering his head so that he could watch the process of melting Metallic Metallic Tempered in silence.
If it was melted down by someone who did not know Smelt Synthesis, the most they could do was make the two pieces of Tempered Metallic Essence into larger pieces. Smelt Synthesis is the most ancient art of forging. The density and essence of the Tempered Metallic Essence greatly increased, fundamentally changing the essence!
Qing Shui didn't mind that/that the two women were watching him because it wasn't an unusual thing for people to see. If a Xiantian cultivator was willing to cultivate, they could actually form the Flame of Xiantian.
Primordial flames shot out from Qing Shui's hands. The silver flame that was half a foot tall emitted heat outwards, slowly heating up the furnace.
Placing two pieces of Grade 10 Tempered Metallic Essence into the furnace, he single-handedly began to smelter. After breaking through the 4th layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, the primordial flames went from an inch to half a foot long while also growing thicker in size. The heat is also increasing exponentially. Not only that, but considering the number of times he used fire, it was not an exaggeration to say it was brought to the point of perfection.
Gradually, the two pieces of Tempered Metallic Essence melted into one, thus increasing the volume in size. At this moment, Qing Shui's other hand reached, suddenly making the fire burn with more intensity!
The terrifying temperature that was emitted from the furnace, Qing Shui used all of his strength and released his primordial fire, this caused Qing Shui to have no choice but to admit some things were indeed flame retardant, for example. for this melting furnace. However, based on Qing Shui's current flame intensity, there was no way he could melt it. The thermal conductivity is amazingly good, but it is a pity that it is not fireproof, if not used for forging other fireproof objects.
Increasing the intensity of the flame was to help remove the impurities of Grade 10 Tempered Metallic Essence, leaving only the essence behind to create a better quality of Tempered Metallic Essence.
As time passed, a layer of sweat formed on Qing Shui's forehead. When a flash of black light appeared, Qing Shui knew he had succeeded. However, Qing Shui never expected the Smelt Synthesis to be so labor intensive. At the same time, he also understood why gems were so difficult to fuse. The success rate is very low and it takes too much effort to do so.
He picked up the chilled pieces of Tempered Metallic Essence, looking at the results with a great sense of satisfaction. It was much stronger than a Grade 10 Tempered Metallic Essence. With his current smithing level, he could only do this for now. Anything better would be in vain.
Seeing that/it wasn't many people left in the Blacksmith Shop, Changhai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li looked around boredly. Qing Shui put down some pieces of Metallic Metal Powder.
” Let's go, no need to return in the afternoon. I thought they had eaten at home. ’’ Qing Shui said to the two women.
’’ I want to eat at your place today. You have to cook for me. ’’ Huoyun Liu-Li chirped happily, the glint in her eyes making Qing Shui's feeling tremble.
Qing Shui grinned ferociously at Huoyun Liu-Li before turning to look at Canghai Mingyue, seeking her opinion. Qing Shui realized that/that at all times, he looked to this young lady to make a decision. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became!
’’ We will go with whatever you say! ’’ Canghai Mingyue smiled as she raised her head.
Back then, Qing Shui remembered that/it Canghai Mingyue was a strong woman. Never did he expect to hear such gentle words before his line of thought ended.
After washing her hands, Qing Shui led the two women out of the Blacksmith Shop and locked the door.
’’Let's buy food there. You can see and see what you want to eat. ’’Qing Shui led the women towards the small residence where the food store was located on the lower floor.
Food stores and similar food markets. They were both large indoor establishments that mainly sold fresh vegetables, fruits and other staples.
Qing Shui accompanied the two women, Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li, to choose two types of vegetables from the wide and complete selection the shop had. They did not bother to browse through the various meats available. Qing Shui, after finding the wild Silkie unexpectedly, went and bought it so that he could make Silkie soup back home.
When she looked at the ingredients, Qing Shui remembered that/that one of the ingredients for Beauty Pellets was the blood of a thousand year old Silkie. He felt depressed when he thought about it. Is there anything like a thousand-year-old Silkie still alive? The mere existence of a hundred-year-old Silkie was enough to make people's eyes pop.
This was the second time women had come to this place, but it felt like it had been a long time since the first time. As all sorts of thoughts flooded his mind, Canghai Mingyue subconsciously looked at Qing Shui.
As if feeling his feelings, Qing Shui cast a meaningful glance at Canghai Mingyue with confusion in his eyes. When their eyes met, Canghai Mingyue frantically shifted her gaze. At that moment, his heart was racing with excitement, giving rise to a strange sensation. It felt strange, yet he was enjoying and yearning for that feeling.
” Let's make Steamed soup and Turtles! ” Qing Shui grinned and said.
” We've had enough to eat, leave the poor little creature alone! ’’Canghai Mingyue replied gently. His eyes followed the movements of Snakehead and the turtle were strong, healthy and beautiful.
Qing Shui rubbed his head. She never thought that/that how beautiful and powerful they were, they were still women. Their natural-born motherly instincts ran strong, and would not be completely lost even when confronted by cruelty and lust.
They will probably enjoy the food more if they don't see it preparing. If they did and saw how the living little creatures were killed, they would definitely starve themselves rather than eat.
With the spices from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal in hand, the food would not taste terrible no matter how he cooked it. Both Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li took on the role of his assistant. Unable to control himself, Qing Shui gave up on his thoughts, appreciating the last moment when he was alone with Canghai Mingyue in the kitchen. Except for this moment, the memories felt so distant.
Canghai Mingyue continued to avoid eye contact with Qing Shui. He realized that/it was when their eyes met every time, his heart was pounding with desire, and he would be a little confused.
It was a rare opportunity for the three of them to share a meal together once again. However, no one helped themselves to the plate on the dining table. Qing Shui felt that/it was already a difficult task to take food from the same plate as Canghai Mingyue. Thinking back to his past life, Qing Shui and his friends had gone out to eat using steamboats. There was a beautiful woman looking down with disdain at some villagers from the rural area. He did not like the idea of sharing food with them.
Qing Shui looked at his plate, deep in his own thoughts.
’’ Qing Shui, are you okay? You are categorized out during meals. What beautiful woman do you think about that makes you look so depressed? ’’ Huoyun Liu-Li teases in a fun way.
Qing Shui smiled in embarrassment. ” Well because I feel so blessed to share a meal with two of the prettiest girls in the world. Why should I think of others? ’
’’ Hehe, a very rare thing for you to say. Too bad you usually say those words when you try to pretend. Hmph! ’’
Qing Shui was blown away by Huoyun Liu-Li's mischievous laughter. This was the first time he had seen this extremely beautiful woman laughing so boldly and it was so exciting. Qing Shui didn't think it was wrong for him to call her that, even he knew her acting was so lame.
’’ Qing Shui, we will go home! ’’
Saying goodbye to the two women, Qing Shui walked towards the Blacksmith Shop. He planned to use the afternoon to hurry up and forge battle armor and helmets, as well as bracelets. He did not care anymore and did not mind settling for a first-class color. For the sake of him, he needed to raise his strength to an even greater level. Even if it was for Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li, he only had to do his best.
Locking the door after he returned to the Blacksmith Shop, he took out a Cla.s.s 20 Tempered Metallic Essence. The armor was made up of different parts that needed to be forged separately, and would be assembled together to complete it.
Qing Shui used the same Tempered Metallic Essence to create a skeleton of armor. Later, he used a gold-ringed Snakeskin pattern on the frame itself. The reason why he forged this heavy armor was not only due to defense, but also due to unknown special effects and additional attributes. Although one of them did not add much, it would be different if there were more than ten of them available.
As he was smithing, he realized that/it forging armor was a very troublesome process.
Fortunately there was a blueprint he could follow to slowly guide her through the process. This time, he wanted to do it perfectly. The more difficult it was, the more Qing Shui felt he could show his strength to the best of his ability.
The parts were falsified one by one. Each one was made using the Thousand Hammer Technique. Then the golden-patterned snake skin was applied and finally, combined together to kiss once more. However, the top and bottom of the armor must be melted separately as they do not join together. After Qing Shui finished fusing the top of the armor, suddenly an unfathomable golden beam shone before his eyes!
Stunned, Qing Shui stared at the dazzling battle armor. Even though it was only the upper body, it still looked extremely majestic and had an astonishing presence, very similar to the original gold battle armor.
Defense increases by 10%, but is limited to protected areas. Stamina also increased by 50, strength by 30 and agility by 10!
Qing Shui put away the happiness in his heart, and continued working on forging the bottom of the armor. It didn't occur to him that/that after forging the upper and lower armor separately, he might be able to add more attributes to the armor. This gave him hope of dealing with the Immortal Sword Sect later on.
Lower body armor is much easier to fake when compared to the upper body parts. The speed was much faster and it only took half of the time it took to complete the top half.
Using the Heavenly Sight Technique quickly, he noticed that/it really provided the same benefits that the upper body provided!
Qing Shui felt an incredible sense of accomplishment, which was best described as the satisfaction he felt when he made love to a beautiful woman. They are completely different approaches but everything still comes down to the same results. After all, if he continued to wallow in female charm, he would soon be bored. In addition, there are not many people with such abilities, so being able to do the things you love is considered a pleasure and a way to prove your worth.
It was similar to his pleasure seeing Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li wearing shoes that he had forged. The warm feeling he felt was an eternal feeling.
