Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1855: Chapter 1835: Soul Chaser Bow

”Every day, day after day, you sit doing the same work. Can your temper be good? Only when your temper flares can you give your all to metal forging. Do you know the materials used to create a Divine Artifact? It’s made from the most basic metals, forged to perfection, removing all impurities, and elevating its purity to the highest level, only then can it become a Divine Artifact. And even materials of the best quality can only make an upper-level Spiritual Artifact. But this is just what is recorded in our tribe’s books, and no one has truly understood it until now.” Huozi said with a hint of helplessness, ”After all, it’s been over a thousand years since there was a Divine Craftsman in the dwarf tribe.”

”Divine Craftsman?”

”A dwarven Artifact Refiner who can create a Divine Artifact is a Divine Craftsman. Whether they can craft a Divine Artifact is the sole standard.” Huozi laughed, ”In our generation, the most likely candidate is probably Laoqi, right? But he... he’s still far off.”

Miss Luo slightly furrowed her brows, ”You naturally advance to the next level of crafting Spiritual Artifacts through skill and experience?”

”Of course not. There’s a barrier, much like in Cultivation — it requires opportunity. Some people can’t get past a single barrier their entire life, while others easily overcome it.” Elder Huozi shook his head, ”But I think having wine might also lead to improvement, no?”

Luo Qianqian was stunned, but then became helpless. Opportunity is such an ephemeral thing; who can truly comprehend it?

”Maybe.”

”Can you let me see your weapon? That bow, specifically.” Elder Huozi asked.

Luo Qianqian was momentarily at a loss before looking at Mo, who nodded slightly.

She then took out a small black bow.

Elder Huozi held it in his hands, carefully examining it, and after a moment, he started trembling...

”This, this is...”

”What’s wrong?” Luo Qianqian looked confused. Wasn’t this just her little bow? Although it seemed like she got it from the Divine Forbidden Land in the past.

After merging, it did become considerably mightier, so she still loved it a lot.

”Soul Chaser, this is the Soul Chaser.” Elder Huozi exclaimed excitedly, looking at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was bewildered, thinking, isn’t that a bit dramatic? A name like Life-taking Yama, now Soul Chaser too.

But Elder Huozi was ecstatic as if he’d taken a stimulant, jumping up and down excitedly. ”Even though it’s damaged, it’s unmistakably the Soul Chaser recorded in the books!”

Damaged? Luo Qianqian looked questioningly at Elder Huozi. At least for her, it worked perfectly well.

”What? This is the Soul Chaser? Shouldn’t the Soul Chaser be...” One of the elders furrowed their brows, left, and shortly returned with a book of illustrations. Opening a page, he pointed and said, ”The Soul Chaser should look like this. Although this bow’s material isn’t apparent, it’s quite different from the Soul Chaser, isn’t it?”

Luo Qianqian curiously moved closer. The text in the illustration was completely illegible to her, but she could still see the shape of a bow and arrow. Judging by the illustration, it was completely different. Additionally, the Soul Chaser in the illustration seemed to have embedded Crystal Stones, but her little bow didn’t even have a single groove for stones, so how could it possibly be?

Elder Huozi persistently shook his head, ”It’s undoubtedly the Soul Chaser. You should each hold it and feel it. It’s the will of our dwarf tribe’s Divine Craftsman!”

Following this, Luo Qianqian watched as her bow was passed from elder to elder, with each person who handled it displaying expressions of awe and wonder, as if they had witnessed some divine miracle.

Luo Qianqian tugged at Mo, ”They won’t want to buy it off me, will they? They’re not planning to keep it, are they?”

Mo had an odd expression, ”They’ll definitely return it to you, but I suspect they might have some other requests.”

After all, retrieving her little bow was just a matter of thought for Luo Qianqian.

Even if they were the dwarf tribe, no matter how familiar they were with weapons, this was a weapon that had recognized its master — they had no right to claim it.

Of course, unless their offer was so tempting that Luo Qianqian would be moved, she might consider giving it back to them.

But it was clear that they didn’t intend to do such, and instead, looked at Luo Qianqian with faces full of respect.

”Miss Luo, thank you for allowing us to witness this miracle in our lifetime.” Elder Huozi was inexplicably in tears, performing the most revered mountain bow to Luo Qianqian, the highest form of respect for the land from the dwarf tribe, who are born and thrive from the earth, drawing upon it for survival and development, no matter how noble the gesture.

To offer such a profound gesture to a human surprised Mo as well, who couldn’t help but feel slightly tense.

”Quickly get up, I can’t accept this.” Luo Qianqian was flustered but couldn’t move with Tantan resting on her lap, leaving her stuck in place.

”Miss Luo, we have an audacious request.”

As expected...

Luo Qianqian’s heart sank as she warily looked at Elder Huozi and his group.

”When the time comes that we have the capability, please let us take the Soul Chaser and perfect it, and restore the will of the dwarf tribe’s Divine Craftsman!” Elder Huozi spoke with a firm expression, directing his words at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian: ”???” This wasn’t the storyline she imagined!

The main issue was... Elder Huozi, isn’t she still at odds with the dwarf tribe over your initial disrespectful remarks... even if it’s a unilateral decision of hers?

”...Even if I don’t know if I’ll see the Soul Chaser shine within this lifetime,” Elder Huozi chuckled bitterly.

Luo Qianqian was speechless, and after hearing those words, could she really refuse? Surely she should agree, right?

Seeing Luo Qianqian agree, Huozi let out a sigh of relief and cautiously returned the small bow, ”Rest assured, our tribe, even if exhausting all our resources, will ensure your will is once more manifest upon the Land of the Divine!”

Clearly, this ’your’ referred to the Soul Chaser.

Yet, Luo Qianqian didn’t ask too much about it. After all... these people currently seemed overly fervent, didn’t they?

As she put the Soul Chaser away, she could still keenly feel the gazes constantly thrown her way — whether with kindness or malice, it was hard to say, but it definitely made her uncomfortable.

Luckily, the aroma of roasting meat wafted through at that moment, distracting all the dwarves and giving Luo Qianqian a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo was also filled with emotion, ”Who would have thought such a thing would happen?”

”Do you know about the Soul Chaser?” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but ask curiously.

The name sounds pretty impressive, doesn’t it?

”The first owner of the Soul Chaser was named Rakshasa,” Mo said calmly, ”Once Rakshasa released the Soul Chaser, no one could escape, earning him the title of Life-taking Yama.”

”Could he be from the Chasing Stars Tower?”
