Chapter 468 Preparations Before Forging the Sword

Silence.

No one answered Chen Chao's words, but no one left at this moment.

No matter how much grudge they had with Chen Chao, the Millennium Cold Stone was something they could only encounter once in a while. If they missed it today, they might not have any chance to have it again in the future.

So the atmosphere was awkward all of a sudden.

Chen Chao glanced at Madam Yang, who turned away in silence. Although his uncle-master had previously expressed his intention to reopen the furnace to forge swords, what did it matter if he had this plan? After all, the cold stone did belong to the Daliang Dynasty. How to distribute it now, in fact, Chen Chao could not find any fault with the choice.

Madam Yang did not care much about who would get the Millennium Cold Stone in the end. No matter who it was, as long as he was in Jianqi Mountain, he could get a share of the pie.

As for Chen Chao's obvious desire to regain his position a few days ago, Madam Yang was happy to see it happen. Li Heng had said something well before. As the master of a mountain, if his words did not count, what was the point? He also wanted to clean up the chaos in Jianqi Mountain for so many years.

After a little loss and a few humiliations, these people finally realized that there are always people who are better than you.

Chen Chao looked at Wen Hu and asked with a smile, "Senior Wen, if I ask you to forge a sword with this thousand-year-old cold stone, can you help?"

Wen Hu was the swordsmith who had a grudge with Chen Chao before in front of the mountain, but now he still didn't leave. Looking at Chen Chao, his expression eased a lot, but he didn't speak easily. ♦♦🆂🅷🆄🆇.🅲♦🅼

After a long while, he slowly said, "Do you really want to ask me for help with this thousand-year-old cold stone?"

Chen Chao smiled and said, "It's business, so let's start talking now. Let's see what the senior thinks?"

Wen Hu thought for a while and said softly, "I can give it a try."

Although it's a bit difficult to say, no matter what, it's a thousand-year-old cold stone, which is an existence that every swordsmith can't ignore.

>  Chen Chao asked, "How confident are you, senior? It won't work if it doesn't work."

Wen Hu was startled, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of something.

Just as Wen Hu was about to speak, Chen Chao quickly sighed and shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, senior. I think you are also an excellent swordsmith, but I don't think you have that ability. I won't bother you, so as not to ruin your reputation."

Wen Hu's face became very interesting in an instant, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Li Heng was on the side, with a slight smile on his face. He had known this kid for quite a while. Although he didn't know him very well, he also understood that this kid was not a person who would not fight back when being bullied. Whenever there was a chance, he would retaliate.

If he could fight, he would fight. If he couldn't fight, few people could take advantage of this kid's mouth.

This kind of temper is not really annoying, at least not to Li Heng. He thinks that Chen Chao in front of him is somewhat like that emperor, not in character, but in a kind of inexplicable spirit. This may be why the emperor of Daliang also favors his nephew.

This is not simply the inheritance of blood, but a different kind of transmission.

Li Heng looked at Chen Chao deeply, and even at this time, he thought of many things.

Chen Chao held the box containing the Millennium Cold Stone and waved it at the swordsmiths present. He was too lazy to argue with him. In the end, he just said, "Whatever the seniors said before, it will be the same afterwards. It is not complicated to give the Millennium Cold Stone to anyone. I will give it to whoever helps me forge the sword. Since the seniors were unwilling before, it means I missed it." After saying this, Chen Chao bowed to Li Heng, and then left with the Millennium Cold Stone. Li Heng nodded, looked at Madam Xu, and smiled, "The mountain master doesn't mind if I stay in the mountain for a few more days?" Madam Xu turned around and shook her head, saying, "If the sir is willing to stay at Jianqi Mountain, then stay for a few more days." Li Heng smiled and said, "There are many things I want to talk to the mountain master about. Don't be annoyed when the time comes." Madam Xu shook her head and said no more. …… 🄲

Chen Chao brought the thousand-year-old cold stone back to the hut. The old man had been waiting for a long time. He took the wooden box from Chen Chao's hand, opened it without any nonsense, and took out the thousand-year-old cold stone inside, which was only the size of a fist. However, the appearance of this cold stone was ordinary, no different from that of ordinary stones. Chen Chao was an outsider and could not see the mystery in it.

The old man was extremely excited. He held the stone in his palms and looked at it repeatedly. Then he murmured, "I didn't expect that I would have this thing one day."

Only the top swordsmiths know what the thousand-year-old cold stone means. This thing is the most suitable thing in the world for forging flying swords. Nothing else can compare to it. This thing is produced overseas, in the sea with endless wind and waves. That place is not only extremely dangerous, but even the monk Wangyou has to be cautious if he goes deep into it. But if he can find it, it is not a big deal. This thing is also extremely rare. It is only on the bottom of the sea, born and raised by nature. Some people can't encounter it in their entire lives in the cold seabed. It's like Jianqi Mountain. Now every year, monks are sent there, but no second piece has been found.

When the Daliang Dynasty found this cold stone, Jianqi Mountain was willing to spend a huge price to buy it, but the Daliang Emperor refused it, which made them regret for many years.

They have been doing everything they can over the years, but they never thought that it would appear so easily in Jianqi Mountain in the end.

The old man glanced at Chen Chao and said slowly, "This thing looks like an ordinary stone, but as soon as you get your hands on it, you will know that it is colder than ice. If you want to separate it, it will not happen overnight. Put it into the world." It would take countless days to melt it in the best sword-making furnace. Mix this kind of thing with some rare materials and cast it into a flying sword. I dare to say that this will be one of the top three swords in the history of Jianqi Mountain. Flying sword."

Chen Chaoxiao asked, "Senior, why didn't you just say you were number one?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "No one knows what will happen during the process of forging a flying sword. You must know that even I will make mistakes sometimes, but if everything goes for the best, I will naturally be able to create a flying sword that is unparalleled in the world." Sword, just when this flying sword is born, who in the world is worthy of it?"

Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "It's a pity that this junior doesn't practice swordsmanship."

The old man sneered, said nothing more, and directly threw Chen Chao's broken knife and the other half of the blade into the small stove.

The small stove has been burning for a long time, but this broken knife was just thrown in today.

The old man said solemnly, "I have to cut open the thousand-year-old cold stone, which will take a lot of time. During these days, this fire cannot be extinguished. Remember."

Chen Chao nodded.

"These days, you have to spend at least five hours every day sensing your broken sword. After it is recast, you will probably have an extremely close connection with the sword cultivator and his natal flying sword. Similarly, after recasting, I will erase the aura of the previous owner in this broken sword, and then this sword can be said to truly belong to you."

The old man said softly, "There are still many tedious things, but everything has to wait until I cut out the required thousand-year cold stone. This period of time is very troublesome, and I even want to close the mountain."

Chen Chao looked solemn.
