Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 189: Chapter 119: Followers of the Fire Cult! Thirst Blood Axe!_3

As long as he followed Ge Qing’s rules, Gu Sheng didn’t feel so uneasy.

As for what happens after breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm?

By then, the matters in Canghe County should be more or less resolved. By then, there’s a high chance he won’t be here anymore, and future resources will be a matter for later.

When he reaches a larger place, obtaining cultivation resources like the Bone Protecting Pill won’t be as difficult as now.

Seven days are still needed.

Gu Sheng wasn’t in a rush. He kept grinding for experience, waiting silently for the time to come.

...

Three days later.

The first surprise arrived.

On this day, Gu Sheng was assisting Helian Tie Lan. With his current proficiency at the Small Success level of the Helian Weapon Casting Skill, assisting her was more than sufficient. Not only could the forging of the giant axe and heavy armor proceed quicker, but he could also accumulate experience.

This was much faster than Gu Sheng practicing weapon forging alone.

At this moment, Helian Tie Lan was completely absorbed in hammering the axe blade in her hands, repeatedly refining and quenching it, striving to ensure its sharpness while making it resistant to folding or chipping.

Gu Sheng knew that Helian Tie Lan had poured all her hatred for the Black Sand Gang into this giant axe.

Not only had she brought out her treasured Cold Iron, Black Rock Crystal, and other rare minerals, but she was also performing beyond her usual abilities. The axe’s prototype was slowly being perfected in her hands, and Gu Sheng could even sense the fiery passion in Helian Tie Lan’s eyes.

Gu Sheng himself was equally eager.

The previous giant axe had also been melted down. While that axe could be considered a fine work, it was nowhere near the caliber of the one emerging before him now.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The rhythmic sound of hammering echoed, fire tongues flared and receded, cold water sizzled and steamed.

Step by step, repeating motions, forging perfection.

Perhaps they had passed the most critical phase, as Helian Tie Lan finally spoke:

”The essence of the Helian Weapon Casting Skill lies in refining and hammering. With my current Great Achievement Realm level, I can achieve a hundred refinements. Lord Gu Sheng, your talent in weapon forging is exceptional. If one day you reach the Perfect level, you will achieve a thousand refinements, and earn the title of a renowned master wherever you go.”

”Even Bone Refining Realm experts would treat you as an honored guest.”

While weapon casting masters carry less status than alchemists, their rank was not insignificant, she added:

”Your giant axe and heavy armor have undergone special treatment using the Helian Weapon Casting Skill. In the future, if your casting skill surpasses mine, you can reforge and refine them. Their power will certainly increase further.”

Gu Sheng nodded slowly.

However, the Helian Weapon Casting Skill inherently carried the latent threat of the Helian family. Unless necessary, he wouldn’t reveal it, lest he invite trouble.

”Thanks for your efforts.”

Helian Tie Lan’s face showed a rare smile but quickly collected herself.

”As long as you can one day avenge me and clear my grievances, Tie Lan would be eternally grateful.”

With her words, the final step was completed. Helian Tie Lan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her creation:

”Lord Gu Sheng, your giant axe has finally been forged!”

Gu Sheng followed Helian Tie Lan’s gaze and saw three components of the giant axe neatly arranged there.

First was the crescent-shaped axe blade, gleaming with a cold luster. The axe face was broad, like a small shield, with a sharp cutting edge. The upper portion was blade-shaped, while the lower portion was serrated, evoking an unsettling feeling at first glance. The reverse side featured three acute spikes, shimmering with icy light.

Admiration lit up in Gu Sheng’s eyes as he gently stroked it, a chilling sensation rising under his touch.

Helian Tie Lan’s voice chimed in at just the right moment:

”The blade is forged entirely from Cold Iron, combining toughness and sharpness. It can even coagulate blood on contact.”

Gu Sheng turned his attention to the two segments of the axe handle, each slightly over a meter in length, pitch black throughout. They appeared extremely durable. At the end of the lower segment was a piercing sharp spike. Both segments of the axe handle were adorned with blood-red patterns, exuding a domineering style.

”The handles are forged from Black Rock Crystal mixed with the weapons Lord Gu Sheng provided and then melted down. Ordinary so-called divine weapons or treasured tools would find it hard to leave even a scratch!”

Listening to Helian Tie Lan’s proud explanation.

Gu Sheng could no longer contain his excitement. He flicked his toe, sending the axe blade and handles flying into the air. Grasping the two segments of the handle, he twisted and locked them together with a sharp click. The two handles merged perfectly, forming an airtight fit.

Next, he inserted the handle through the hole in the back of the axe blade and gave it a firm shake. A hidden mechanism extended from the handle and firmly locked the blade.

A massive giant axe over two meters in length instantly took shape!

Looking at the domineering and vicious axe, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his fondness growing. Just imagining wielding this giant axe to unleash the Rage Blood Three Styles was enough to envision its terrifying might.

”Lord Gu Sheng, please name this giant axe!”

Helian Tie Lan was also somewhat exhilarated. This axe, crafted with her utmost effort, was undoubtedly her finest masterpiece.

Gu Sheng pondered briefly.

”Let’s call it Bloodthirsty.”

This axe was born of Helian Tie Lan’s hatred, thirsting for the blood of the Black Sand Gang. Additionally, it aligned perfectly with the Rage Blood Three Styles—Blood Cutting, Bloodlust, and Bloodthirsty. Bloodthirsty being the strongest of the three complemented the axe perfectly.

Helian Tie Lan’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed:

”A great name! May the Bloodthirsty Giant Axe in your hands obliterate every villain in the Black Sand Gang!”

”Next, I will devote myself to assisting you in forging the heavy armor. Please feel free to drop by whenever you can.”

Gu Sheng nodded slowly.

The heavy armor could not be forged overnight. This level of treasure armor required hundreds of hammerings and might take a month or two.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

Wearing it at the time of his Bone Refining Realm breakthrough would suffice.

...

In the following days.
