The longsword had been washed to a gleaming silver by the Taiyin Power, with intricate patterns of snowflakes and ice shards reflecting dazzling and captivating light.
Li Mo felt somewhat drained, leaning a portion of his body's weight against the Ice Cube, and let out a soft sigh of relief.
The weapon was forged into a famous artifact, its color like frost, its light like ice, echoing the Taiyin from afar.
It was a top-grade famous artifact.
Moreover, this sword was based on the starry pestle, and the starry pestle had a very good Foundation, allowing for further reforging in the future.
“So beautiful.”
Princess Yu Yang gazed at the newly forged longsword, her eyes glued to it, unable to look away.
She had many treasures, among which Mystic Weapons were considered secondary; most were precious weapons.
Mystic Weapons were hard to come by for ten thousand gold, and precious weapons were priceless.
Yet, at this moment, she felt that the famous artifact longsword was exceptionally beautiful, surpassing all her other treasures.
“Crown Prince Brother.”
“Hmm?”
“I want that sword. With that sword, I can get a little closer to Crown Prince Brother on the Qianlong Ranking.”
Yu Yang's voice was not loud, but that was because she was speaking to Jiang Yu.
She would always get what she wanted.
“He won't give it.”
Jiang Yu shook his head lightly, his eyes filled with both fervor and regret.
This Li Mo was indeed a Genius, young in age, with astonishing martial Dao Aptitude, and even such dazzling casting talent.
He also held Tiangong's forging hammer in his hand.
Didn't that mean Li Mo might be able to forge a Tianyun Dao Artifact in the future?
Unfortunately, this person was unruly, seemingly without a lord or father in his heart, and not someone easy to control... Moreover, he had made great contributions in the Southern Border, and Zhennan King was about to break through to the Seventh Realm, having praised him as a young hero several times in court.
Wait.
Jiang Yu looked at the charming, noble, and moving Princess Yu Yang:
“What do you think of this God Hammer Little Overlord?”
“What do you mean, what do I think?”
“As a man.”
That's right, Jiang Yu wanted to use Yu Yang to test Li Mo.
As soon as these words came out, Princess Yu Yang opened her mouth. With her pampered and willful personality, she subconsciously looked down on all men, except for her Imperial Father and Crown Prince Brother.
But when she recalled the young man's shirtless figure, raising the divine weapon earlier, she found him incredibly dazzling, and the sword she liked was born from his hands.
Moreover, he was a Wang Qi Dou Hun, a fact that people often talked about. During tea parties, she often heard other noble Young Misses jokingly suggest Li Mo become a live-in son-in-law.
The Wang Qi Dou Hun was a hot commodity among the Young Misses of Dijin... More importantly, he was currently leaning on that Han Xianzi who had been fierce to her.
Princess Yu Yang's thoughts quietly changed, and her heart suddenly ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) began to beat a little faster.
She wanted both the sword and the man now.
【Congratulations to the Host for successfully investing in 'Ying Bing' and forging a top-grade famous longsword for her.】
【You have an investment waiting to be claimed.】
“Ice Cube, it doesn't have a name yet.”
“Hmm?”
Ying Bing gazed at the sword's edge, rarely lost in thought, her eyes clear and cold, yet revealing a hint of bewilderment that only Li Mo could see.
Then the young girl came back to her senses, looked at Li Mo, thought for a long time, and then softly said:
“I need to think carefully.”
“Li Dage, it's called Qingye!”
Xiao Jiang said happily, holding up her sword.
“That's a good name.” Li Mo used his head-patting Supreme martial art.
“What are you all standing around for? Do you also have buhua juese eagerly waiting? Forge weapons!”
At this moment, Du Wufeng took the conch from the host's hand, and his loud voice made the other craftsmen wake up as if from a dream.
Thus, the clanging sounds of weapon forging reappeared in the square.
And indeed, there were many highly skilled craftsmen among them; quite a few had forged famous artifacts. Unfortunately, their methods were not wild enough, and they lacked a Han Xianzi by their side.
Even if affected by the ridiculous power display segment, these were still the elites among the craftsmen of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Among them, five or six had forged top-grade famous artifacts.
Half an hour later, the forging segment ended.
Originally, the Casting Assembly was nearing its end here, but because these weapons would all be provided to the Qianlong Assembly, a new 'weapon testing' segment was added.
Naturally, it was impossible to test each one individually.
Only those that received an 'A-grade' evaluation from the judges in comprehensive assessment could display their sharpness.
Below the stage.
Both the Ice Cube's and Xiao Jiang's swords were A-grade, so Li Mo went off-stage to rest first.
“Li Shifu!”
“When I first heard of a Prodigy called God Hammer Little Overlord, I laughed a few times. Now, thinking back, I'm truly ashamed.”
“But what about your own weapon?”
The craftsmen waiting off-stage also looked at him with solemn respect, truly treating him as a skilled artisan.
Li Shaoxia was both tall and tough!
Handsome and skilled, who could resist that?
Even Han Xianzi couldn't resist.
“Yes, Brother Li, what about you?”
Suddenly, a large and a small bald head emerged from the crowd.
“?”
Xiao Li was already tired and almost didn't recognize them at first.
The old monk was Hengyuan, who had cultivated silent meditation, and the young monk was Murong Xiao. From their Qi, he was much stronger than when they last met, truly a Genius in cultivating the Buddhist Dao.
“I'll see if I can pick one during the weapon testing later. I just don't know if I can find a hammer. Are you also here to pick a weapon?”
“No, I came because I knew you were here.”
Murong Xiao touched his bald head, showing two rows of white teeth in a smile.
It was a smile of confidence, a smile of strength.
Taking advantage of this time, the two chatted, while the old monk Hengyuan remained unmoving beside them. After all, he hadn't finished his silent meditation, and at the speed Li Mo and Murong Xiao were chatting, his sign language would be like forming hand seals, which would go against his Great Master demeanor.
“Brother Murong, aren't you planning to participate in the Qianlong Assembly?”
Li Mo asked curiously.
“I am participating.”
“Then you won't use a weapon?”
Murong Xiao said with a solemn expression: “Oh, the martial art I'm practicing now is the Immovable Wisdom King's Golden Body of Deliverance. This is a profound Buddhist scripture that emphasizes compassion, not fighting back when hit, not retorting when cursed, and being kind...”
“Speak human, Master of Buried Love.”
“You... *cough*.”
“Hmm?”
“You're incredibly handsome, truly a great handsome guy, really, Brother Li.”
Murong Xiao coughed lightly, saying helplessly:
“When I participate in the Qianlong Assembly, I cannot attack others, nor can I dodge; I must endure everything head-on.”
Li Mo said in astonishment: “What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?”
“This is a Supreme martial art...”
“Oh, then never mind.”
Li Mo thought for a moment, then frowned: “But even if you cultivate a Supreme martial art, your physique isn't as strong as mine, is it? You'll still get injured.”
“I don't know what to do either.” Murong Xiao was also very troubled by this matter.
“Then why don't you ask your Master? Is it because you don't want to ask?”
“...”
“Alright, no more jokes. I actually have a method.”
Murong Xiao's eyes lit up. It was well known that Brother Li was a gentleman and the idea man of Qingyuan Sect, so he might really have a solution.
“How?”
“Why don't you try observing the Divine Intention of the sea cucumber race? They can regenerate their bodies. The drawback is that they cannot move or perform other actions when regenerating.”
“??”
“This way, not only is your defense terrifyingly high, but you also recover quickly. Others won't be able to injure you faster than you heal. How will they cope?”
“????”
Murong Xiao stood stunned, a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
The old monk Hengyuan's prayer beads clattered to the ground, his face flushed red from holding back.
The old monk's red face seemed to convey a thousand words.
Just as Li Mo was about to talk more deeply with Murong Xiao.
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, as a beautiful and noble figure, her skirt swaying, walked over.
“Li Shaoxia, do you still remember this princess?” Princess Yu Yang asked with a sweet smile.
