“You’re back Where are Great General Meng and the rest?” Zhou Shu asked with concern His sworn brother, Mi Zias also in the arh, who could say for sure ould happen on the battlefield?
“They’re still at the southern border,” Sun Gongping said “But the southern barbarians have basically been dealt with There aren’t h battles left, so I cain with This time, he had followed the army out to train himself Naturally, he came back as he wished
“Old Zhou, you’re already a ninth-rank ?”
Although they hadn’t seen each other for a while, Sun Gongping didn’t feel unfamiliar with Zhou Shu He took a step forward and wrapped his aring Master, I won’t have to worry about e it forentered the ranks, he had never had a ranked weapon It wasn’t that his family couldn’t afford one Rather, it was because he had built a stable foundation to allow his cultivation to increase rapidly At this stage, he wouldn’t be able to control weapons that were too good for hih wouldn’t be able to keep up with his cultivation
Therefore, it was better to wait for his cultivation to stabilize before getting a ranked weapon
Without the support of his fa wouldn’t be able to survive today It would be strange if he could save uphis words, Zhou Shu sress? I a Apprentice”
“That’s still just a Forging Apprentice,” Sun Gongping said disdainfully “Look at those forging geniuses Who cares to fight with you for this title? If you can’t beco Master, you’re just a blacksmith You’re worthless, understand?”
“Not necessarily,” Zhou Shu said “Shen Yue see Apprentice? He even specially came to compete withApprentice He’s definitely been able to forge ranked weapons long ago It’s just that he hasn’t truly forged the Master level</eain, it’s the same for me
“What do you mean not necessarily? Old Zhou, when do you think you can beco Master? I have to consider whether to wait for you or not”
Sun Gongping continued, “Let me tell you I’ve made quite a lot of contributions this time When I receive the rewards, I’ll be rich When the tio and buy a ranked weapon”
“Advance to Forging Master?” Zhou Shu shed out loud “Old Zhou, I’ve known you for so long, I didn’t realize that you’re so funny Do you think that Great Xia’s nu Master?
“I alacy Don’t worry I’ll introduce you to two Forging Masters later With your aptitude, they will definitely fight to take you in as a disciple”
Sun Gongping nagged non-stop
Zhou Shu felt both waro afar and return safely
“Heh, Old Zhou, you’ve been conferred the title of county baron and advanced to a ninth-rank martial artist I’ve just returned and haven’t prepared any congratulatory gifts for you…” Sun Gongping continued
“No need I’m already very happy that you’re here” Zhou Shu said He didn’t havecould barely be considered one
“That won’t do,” Sun Gongping said “A, such an uncouth person?
“Coincidentally, I have soratulatory gift for when you advance Forging Master I didn’t expect that you would beco Master Let’s use it for this occasion”
Sun Gongping mysteriously took out a palm-sized box and handed it to Zhou Shu
Zhou Shu declined it, but Sun Gongping firmly stuffed the box into Zhou Shu’s hands
“Aren’t you going to open it?” Sun Gongping said when he saw Zhou Shu put the box away
Seeing Sun Gongping’s expectant expression, Zhou Shu see
He save me”
Zhou Shu opened the box and saw a bean-sized silver-white object lying inside The object gave off a crystalline feeling, as if there was a galaxy swirling within it
“Heaven Refining Stone?” Zhou Shu said in surprise
“How is it? Aren’t I a good brother?” Sun Gongping said proudly “This Heaven Refining Stone is soinally planning to use it to forge a ranked weapon forit to you You can use it to practice and beco Master as soon as possible”
Zhou Shu: “…”
He was very confused now Stone?</e Stone that he had taken from the imperial preceptor of Great Wei, Xiao Shunzhi It was the size of an adult’s fist and at least 100 ti Stone of this size iscontinued
Zhou Shu suddenly said, “Forging a yellow-grade weapon needs thisStone does a heaven-grade weapon need?”
Zhou Shu had a bad feeling
Back then, Yin Changhao had said that a fist-sized Heaven Refining Stone was only enough to forge a heaven-grade
“That’s hard to say There are different grades of heaven-grade weapons I estira was not a forger, but his words were hao had said it so seriously!</e Stone hat hed , he would be able to forge at least three or four heaven-grade weapons with that amount!
Why didn’t he think twice about it back then? If such a huge piece of Heaven Refining Stone could only be used to forge a heaven-grade weapon, ould Yin Changhao be willing to spend soStone for fifty thousand taels of gold reat loss
Although Shen Yue and Xiao Shun used a heaven-grade weapon to cover the debt of ten thousand taels of gold, it didn’t rade weapon was only worth ten thousand taels of gold
Even the worst heaven-grade weapon orth at least 10,000 taels of gold Put up for auction, a heaven-grade weapon could even be sold for around 30,000 to 50,000 taels of gold
A Heaven Refining Stone that weighed raold It wasn’t a huge loss to sell half of it for 50,000 taels of gold, but it was still a loss
“Great Divine Constable Sun, thank you!”
Zhou Shu closed the box After seeing the fist-sized Heaven Refining Stone and then looking at the bean-sized one, he really couldn’t get excited
But since it was Sun Gongping’s kind intentions, he couldn’t show tooif there was any way to get the piece back frohao He could even return the hao was a first-rank martial artist after all It didn’t matter if he could defeat him or not It wouldn’t be easy to find him
“You’re welco waved his hand

Zhou Shu te Stone and instead looked at Sun Gongping and asked, “Great Divine Constable Sun, you always carry the Spring Embroidered Saber around I haven’t asked you this before Do you specialize in using the saber?”
“I’ said proudly “I’ swords Do you knohat my nicknaood at forging sabers…”
Zhou Shu’s lips curved up slightly “That ive you a surprise later”
“What?”
Sun Gongping wanted to ask more, but Zhou Shu had already stepped forward because the invited guests had already arrived
