Chapter 2095: Dragged By Elder Lin 5
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Maybe there are some basic forging methods in the beginning, but as you progress, you’ll come to realize the importance of infusing a weapon with a soul,” Gu Chaoyan said to Shen Heyu with utmost sincerity.
However, as Gu Chaoyan glanced at the title page of the book, she realized that her understanding had been slightly off.
Nevertheless, after carefully reading the forging method that followed, she quickly grasped the true meaning of the sentence.
The disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect, Shen Heyu included, seemed to have a sudden realization, yet it was evident that they had not fully comprehended the profound implications behind the statement.
However….
Soon, Shen Heyu had an epiphany.
He realized that refining weapons was akin to the process of cultivation. Just like reaching a certain level of cultivation was necessary for understanding certain truths, the same applied to weapon refining.
If the disciples could decipher the hidden knowledge, it would enable them to achieve a breakthrough in their skills. On the other hand, failing to grasp these insights would leave them stuck at a bottleneck.
Unlike some of his peers, Shen Heyu had not achieved significant success within the Weapon Refining Sect.
While he could forge weapons adequately, they lacked the essence of his soul, turning them into mere replicas devoid of his personal touch.
His junior sister’s words acted as a timely reminder, stirring something within him.
He was going to try something else.
“Junior Sister, I humbly ask, will you take me as your disciple?” Shen Heyu’s sincerity was evident in his plea.
“No.” Gu Chaoyan responded firmly, without a moment’s hesitation. She had little regard for her own feelings, and with Elder Lin already a source of annoyance, adding Shen Heyu to the mix would only exacerbate the situation. Furthermore, she had no desire to be part of the Beastmaster Sect if she were to join.
Gu Chaoyan was shouting inwardly.
Well…
She had a bad temper towards Shen Heyu, so she blamed Elder Lin on him.
Having said that, Shen Heyu’s expression turned crestfallen, clearly hurt by Gu Chaoyan’s refusal.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. She knew Shen Heyu was genuinely passionate about weapon refining, and his humility only made him more endearing. However, her own commitments and priorities left her with little time to take on a disciple. After pondering for a moment, she decided to explain her position.
“You are a Senior Brother within the Weapon-Refining Sect, and my intention is to join the Beast-Refining Sect in the future. Your Master holds a position as an Elder in our sect, and it would be inappropriate for him to take me as his disciple,”
Having said the words, Gu Chaoyan was about to take a look at the handle.
“I don’t mind.” Shen Heyu cheered himself up. Gu Chaoyan felt so annoyed.
At this moment, Elder Lin arrived, panting heavily.
Gu Chaoyan glanced at him, holding a blue crystal in her hand, and asked, “Is this acceptable? The Weapon Refining Sect has plenty of dark iron but lacks sufficient crystals. It was quite a task to gather these, wasn’t it?”
Shen Heyu couldn’t help but feel exasperated by Elder Lin’s pretense of ignorance. In reality, Elder Lin had effortlessly obtained those crystals in just one hour, observing Shen Heyu’s forging process in the shadows. He had planned to reveal himself once the sword was completed, but upon hearing Shen Heyu’s proposal to be his disciple, Elder Lin decided to withdraw, secretly hoping for this very outcome.
He only came out when she turned him down.
What was more…
Cultivators, unless they were in a fierce fight.
Otherwise, no one would get tired after just a few steps.
This Elder Lin…
She was just a disciple!
Gu Chaoyan looked miserable.
He grabbed the crystals and started to use them to forge the sword handle.
The crystal was very large. Elder Lin must have picked it because he knew that it was going to be a sword handle.
But it was much more convenient.
If it was made into a sword handle, there would be many parts that were not needed.
But Gu Chaoyan was not a very stingy person..
