The backyard of the Heartforge Workshop was silent. Everyone was staring fixedly at the position of Furnace No. 1. There, Master Craftsman Lin was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and looking as if he was about to collapse. Despite his mastery in the Tendons and Bones Realm, continuously working the bellows for more than two hours and carefully controlling the heat had exhausted him. Lu Qing was also drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, and significantly drained. The Heaven's Meteorite Iron was incomparable to ordinary iron, each hammer strike consuming a considerable amount of his mental strength. Even though he was exhausted from forging the Heaven's Meteorite Iron into shape, both men were in high spirits. At this moment, their eyes were bright as they looked at the anvil. On the anvil, the piece of Heaven's Meteorite Iron that Lu Qing had brought had completely changed its form. It had transformed into a rough black long blade, simple in style, very similar to the one Lu Qing used before. However, what astonished Master Craftsman Lin the most were the peculiar patterns on the blade, resembling water ripples, flames, and even lightning. The patterns seemed naturally formed, exuding a mysterious aura that was captivating. "Patterns formed naturally, as if bestowed by the heavens. This blade embryo has already stepped into the realm of divine weapons, and it is of the highest grade!" Master Craftsman Lin murmured. Looking at the strange patterns on the blade, his eyes were full of fascination. After a lifetime of forging weapons, he had never seen the patterns of a true divine weapon. Lu Qing was also intently observing the rough blade. Amidst the intense red glow, a faint trace of purple light appeared in his vision. [Divine Weapon Blade Embryo: Forged from Heaven's Meteorite Iron through over ten thousand hammer strikes, it has reached the top-grade divine weapon level.] [Embracing All: The unique material of Heaven's Meteorite Iron is highly inclusive, allowing this blade embryo to accommodate multiple elemental power attributes: gold, wood, water, earth, wind, fire, and lightning.] [Unbreakable: This blade embryo is extremely solid, and once sharpened, it can cut through iron like mud, split water, and cleave mountains with ease.] [Embryo of a Magic Treasure: Due to its excellent material, if properly nurtured and refined, this blade can continuously evolve, potentially advancing to a magical artifact or spiritual artifact.] "There's actually a trace of purple!" Seeing the information about the blade embryo, Lu Qing was delighted. No wonder the Li Huo Sect had been so enamored and highly praised this exotic treasure. The Heaven's Meteorite Iron had just been forged into a rough blade embryo, yet it already exhibited a trace of purple light. He knew that the Spatial Qi Bag in his hand and the Li Huo Cauldron in the Wei family's underground chamber were both just purple. This showed the immense potential of this blade embryo. The information revealed by the blade embryo confirmed this. Not only could it accommodate multiple types of power, but it could also continuously evolve and transform, which was incredibly magical. Lu Qing did not believe that this was due to his own forging skills. Although everyone in the Heartforge Workshop admired him greatly, he was very self-aware. His forging skills were just beginning, and compared to the master forgers of the Li Huo Sect, they were worlds apart. The quality of this blade embryo was primarily due to the extraordinary nature of the Heaven's Meteorite Iron. Its material was simply excellent. "A divine weapon!" Standing outside, everyone who heard Master Craftsman Lin's words was stunned. Even Wei Xinghe was shocked. The Wei family only had one divine weapon, the saber used by their ancestor. Unexpectedly, Lu Qing had easily forged one. This was something even the true master forgers of Zhongzhou might not be able to achieve. "Young Master Lu, do you need us at the Heartforge Workshop to help sharpen this blade?" Master Craftsman Lin asked Lu Qing respectfully and carefully. "No need, I have other plans for this blade. For now, it doesn't need to be sharpened. Please just make a scabbard for me," Lu Qing replied. Knowing the blade embryo's potential, it would be inappropriate to sharpen it hastily. Moreover, such a divine weapon no longer needed to be manually sharpened. Once Lu Qing properly refined it, the blade would naturally reveal its sharp edge, unmatched in its keenness. "This is simple. Young Master can rest assured, I will have the scabbard ready by tomorrow and send it to your residence." Hearing Lu Qing's response, Master Craftsman Lin felt a mix of disappointment and relief. To be honest, if Lu Qing had entrusted him with sharpening the blade, he wouldn't have dared to do it. After all, this was a divine weapon blade embryo. Even a lifetime of effort might not yield such a weapon for a master forger. As a mere craftsman, not even a master forger, how could he dare to sharpen such a blade? Lu Qing asked for a cloth strip, wrapped the blade embryo, and prepared to leave with Wei Xinghe. Initially, Lu Qing had wanted to forge a treasured sword for his master, but the Heaven's Meteorite Iron was too extraordinary. Just forging a single blade embryo had exhausted most of his energy. He would have to forge his master's sword another day. As Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe left the Heartforge Workshop, they saw a crowd of people outside. Some of them were powerful martial artists. After a moment's thought, Lu Qing realized that the commotion from forging the blade embryo must have attracted the attention of nearby onlookers. He didn't explain and left directly with Wei Xinghe. The onlookers wanted to investigate what had happened inside the Heartforge Workshop, but when they saw Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe, they were all stunned, staring dumbfoundedly at them. Their previous thoughts disappeared, and no one dared to act. Thus, until the two left, no one dared to stop them. They just watched with respectful eyes, not daring to move. "Whoosh!" When Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe's figures completely disappeared, the spies let out a sigh of relief, looking at each other with cold sweat and bitter smiles. They didn't even dare to think about going into the Heartforge Workshop to gather information. It was clear that the morning's commotion was related to Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe. And their statuses were significant. Especially Lu Qing, who had now been listed by various forces in the city as the most untouchable person, even more so than the Wei family. No one dared to probe into their affairs. Knowing something they shouldn't could be deadly. Lu Qing didn't know that he had already been labeled as a taboo figure by various forces in the city. In the following days, after regaining his strength, he visited the Heartforge Workshop twice more. Besides making some small items, he also used a piece of exotic iron from the Heartforge Workshop to forge another ten-thousand-fold divine weapon sword for his master. However, this divine weapon sword's potential was far inferior to his battle blade, merely an ordinary divine weapon with almost no chance of evolving. It wasn't that Lu Qing didn't want to forge a Heaven's Meteorite Iron sword for his master. But now, the remaining Heaven's Meteorite Iron in his Spatial Qi Bag was too large to cut. Given his current abilities, cutting the Heaven's Meteorite Iron was too difficult. Additionally, the fuel he had prepared was almost exhausted. Without the blue flames generated by the fuel, the Heartforge Workshop's furnace couldn't melt the Heaven's Meteorite Iron. So Lu Qing could only opt for a second-best option, spending a large sum of money to buy a piece of exotic iron from Master Craftsman Lin to forge an ordinary divine weapon for his master. Even so, when the old doctor Chen received this gift, he was extremely delighted. Even Wei Shanhai was astonished when he saw the sword. He found that the sword's quality was no less than his own battle blade. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Knowing that Lu Qing had forged the divine weapon, Wei Shanhai was dumbfounded, speechless for a long time. After forging the divine weapon sword, Lu Qing and the others stayed for a few more days. Finally, they bid farewell to the Wei family. Table of content
