Chapter 31 - Strengthening the Hundred Forged Greatsword (2/2)
In terms of material, a low-grade spirit weapon without spiritual energy was not necessarily harder and sharper than a hundred refined weapon.
Lu Yu had cultivated the Edgeless Blade Art, so he knew that what he needed was not some fancy special effect, but a weapon that was heavy enough, hard enough, and sturdy enough.
In this regard, the Hundred Forged Greatsword that had been strengthened by the iron essence was far stronger than a low-grade spirit weapon.
He had not reached the qi cultivating realm yet, so he had not cultivated spiritual energy. A spirit weapon was no different from an ordinary weapon in his hands.
Borrowing the scale from the medicinal store, he roughly weighed the sack. The weight of the iron essence reached 21.3 jin. Excluding the weight of the sack, it should be 19 to 20 jin.
If converted into money, it would be close to 16,000 gold coins.
The second half of the Edgeless Blade Art cost 70,000 gold coins. It seemed that it wasn’t impossible to get the rest of the Edgeless Blade Art.
It would be even easier if he was a tycoon. He could directly buy 700,000 game credits and get the second half of the Edgeless Blade Art.
There was not much time for him. The Wild Wolf Sect had started to attack the Han family members. Moreover, there were people from unknown forces watching him in the dark. He needed to become stronger sooner.
He brought the iron essence and the Hundred Forged Greatsword to the Tang Blacksmith Shop. When Boss Tang heard that Lu Yu had come to look for him, he knew that there was a big deal today.
“You plan to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword?” When Boss Tang heard Lu Yu’s request, he was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that he could really get so much iron essence.
“According to my many years of forging experience and my father’s previous experimental conclusion, the best ratio between ordinary materials and iron essence is 50:1. Adding 1 tael of iron essence to a 5 jin of weapon will be able to achieve the most perfect effect.”
“If we use too much iron essence, the weapon forged will be too hard and brittle. It is not suitable to be used as a weapon. If we use lesser iron essence, it would be fine, but it won’t achieve the best effect.”
“How much iron essence do you plan to use to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword?” asked Boss Tang.
“50:1.” said Lu Yu without any hesitation.
“Hiss…” Boss Tang sucked in a breath of cold air. He was shocked by Lu Yu’s heroism. Last time, he had told Lu Yu that if he wanted to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword, he would need at least 3 jin of iron essence to have a significant effect.
If he used too little iron essence, it would not have much effect. It would be a waste of money.
It would be very impressive if Lu Yu was able to get 3 jin of iron essence. However, he didn’t expect Lu Yu had 12 jin of iron essence to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword. He was shocked on the spot.
“The Hundred Forged Greatsword weighs 600 jin. You have to give me 13 jin of iron essence so that I can help you with this job.” said Boss Tang.
“Okay, I’ll give you 13 jin of iron essence. After the strengthening is completed, the remaining iron essence will be treated as your wages. How much you will get is depend on your own skills.”
Boss Tang took the Hundred Forged Greatsword and the iron essence from Lu Yu’s hands. He stroked the blade of the sword with an excited expression and said, “No problem! Even if I don’t get any money, I’ll do this job!”
“We have many iron essences! I’ll definitely be able to forge a godly weapon.” Boss Tang was so excited that his body was trembling.
Lu Yu could see that Boss Tang was actually like his father who forged weapons until his death. He was full of love for weapons.
This could be seen from the fact that there was not a speck of dust on the weapons in the warehouse. Boss Tan took good care of the weapons, and he was obviously full of love for them.
Carrying the Hundred Forged Greatsword, Boss Tang shouted to the apprentices and workers in the blacksmith shop, “Close the shop today. Stop forging the farm tools.”
“Tie Sheng, light up the great furnace. The rest of you prepare the tools and materials. This time, we will forge a truly godly weapon!”
The people in the blacksmith shop started to get busy. Ever since Boss Tang’s father passed away, the great furnace that had been extinguished for more than ten years was once again lit up. Now, there were batches of coal pouring into the great furnace.
Looking at the great furnace that was gradually turning red and spitting out hot sparks, Boss Tang was immersed in his memories. The last time he used the great furnace was when he forged the Hundred Forged Greatsword.
This time, he ignited the great furnace because of the Hundred Forged Greatsword. The past had become memory. This time, it would be a reborn! A reborn for the Hundred Forged Greatsword, a reborn for the Tang’s Blacksmith Shop, and a reborn for himself!
The Hundred Forged Greatsword that had fused with his father’s decades of hard work would definitely become a godly weapon.
Forging a godly weapon was his father’s dream when he was still alive. It was also a dream that had never been extinguished in his heart for many years!
“The reforging probably takes a lot of time. You should go and do something else first. I’ll inform you as soon as possible.” Boss Tang said to Lu Yu.
“Okay.”

Lu Yu nodded. The Tang Blacksmith Store had made such a big commotion, he could not help but feel excited about the strengthened Hundred Forged Greatsword.
After leaving the Tang Blacksmith Store, Lu Yu did not return to the small courtyard. He wanted to find the person who was spying on him.
No matter who the person was, Lu Yu could not tolerate that person hiding in the dark and scheming against him.
It was Lu Yu’s belief to strike first and gain the upper hand.
After wandering around Windmill Town for a few rounds, Lu Yu vaguely felt that there was someone following behind him. Hence, he walked towards the Dark Water Gutter..
