Chapter 1255 - Heartache filling the screen (2/2)
Song Shuhang watched as the flaming text continued to appear right in front of him, just like a screen being flooded, with each line of text moving past his eyes at breakneck speed.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding~”
Every strike was another ‘+100’.
This meant that Song Shuhang had to pay another 100 spirit stones.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but feel his heart start hurting.
Every time he saw another flaming ‘+100’ text, it was as if an arrow had penetrated his heart and liver.
This is really heart-rending.
After these few hits from the big hammer, the price had already gone up to a few thousands of First Stage spirit stones.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue paused before saying in a pleasant voice, “Great, the Whale Sacred Bone has responded. Come on, resonate with me! Obey me, I will make you into the most perfect magic weapon.”
While she spoke, her other arm also began moving.
The small hammer had begun swinging.
Using the two hammers together was the kingly path!
As there were now two hammers being waved around, the speed at which the text moved on the screen had more than doubled. The degree of the heart-rending feeling similarly increased by several times.
“Ding, ding~”
“Ding, ding~”
The flaming text in front of Song Shuhang became a combination of ‘+100’s and ‘+50’s.
The screen’s flooding speed had become even faster.
With every glance, one’s sight would be filled with rows of ‘+100’s and ‘+50’s.
With every blink of an eye, another wave of flaming text would rise.
Truly heart-rending.
This screen of flaming text represented the number of spirit stones! This was a screen filled with spirit stones.
Fairy, could you turn off this counting function?
At this time, the sea turtle patted Song Shuhang with its forelimb.
Song Shuhang turned his head while a pained expression could be seen on his face. “Senior Turtle, is something wrong?”
Senior Turtle asked, “Is your heart in pain?”
Song Shuhang replied, “It’s not really in pain, but this screen filled with ‘+100’s and ‘+50’s makes my heart feel quite stifled.”
“Your heart feeling stifled is normal. This is the style of the Heavy Metal Sect. It’s clear that a trip to the blacksmith would actually only cost you about a Sixth Stage or Seventh Stage spirit stone, but regardless of who it is, when they see this screen of flaming text, they would always end up feeling their heart become stifled.” Senior Turtle chuckled, and said, “I can teach you a way to adapt to the flaming text.”
Song Shuhang asked, “What is it?”
The sea turtle said, “Use a Seventh or Eighth Stage spirit stone as the reference point. Then, simply think of +100 as +0.0001 or an even smaller number, that way you won’t feel as stifled.”
Song Shuhang replied, “That makes sense!”
After that, he turned his head and continued to look at the screen of ‘+100’s and ‘+50’s.
After a moment, he sighed.
Song Shuhang said, “I can’t do it.”
The sea turtle said, “What?”
“I tried to change the numbers while having a Seventh Stage spirit stone in mind, but then when I saw the ‘+100’, I felt that it was adding 100 Seventh Stage spirit stones.”
The sea turtle: “…”
“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding~”
The sound of the two hammers striking down was like a poignant symphony.
It was impressive but also caused one to shed tears.
❄️❄️❄️
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s level as a blacksmith was really high, and it could even be said to be at the level of a sect master.
Song Shuhang did not understand the art of forging. Nevertheless, the sea turtle at the side was full of praise for Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
While the two hammer were unceasingly swung around, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue would also occasionally throw in some refining materials into the flames.
“This flame is no longer the forging fire stored in the Palace of Winter,” the sea turtle said in a deep voice.
At the beginning, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue had still used the Palace of Winter’s forging fire on the whale sage bone. However, halfway through, she had changed the fire.
At this time, the flames around Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue were really lifelike, and from time to time there would even be something with the appearance of a Phoenix that would come forth.
Every time she swung the hammer, the clear cry of a Phoenix would accompany the strike.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue suddenly said, “It’s the Nine Virtues Phoenix Fire. My current realm is limited to the Sixth Stage Realm. If I were to rely on my own strength to temper the Eighth Stage Profound Sage bone, it would be extremely difficult to do so. As such, I’m borrowing some strength from this special flame.”
At this time, she had beads of sweat streaming down her face. Some beads of sweat would flow down along her cheek to her neck before continuing on to slide along her beautiful clavicle.
Some beads of sweat would be stopped by her long eyelashes, but when she blinked, they would drip down. However, the beads of sweat that ended up dripping from her eyelashes would evaporate in mid-air due to the Phoenix Flame.
Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue smiled bitterly, and said, “The only problem is that the temperature of the flame is quite high.”
The sea turtle asked, “Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue Daoist, do you need little friend Song to wipe your sweat?”
During the refining process, if sweat droplets were to fall onto the weapon being refined, it could be very troublesome.
Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue replied, “No, it’s fine.”
The temperature of the Phoenix Fire was too high, and with Song Shuhang’s strength, he would immediately get burnt if he were to get too close.
