Chapter 467: Chapter 459 Using People without Suspicion_1

Marriage follows a similar principle, if the two parties involved are too mismatched, it is difficult to arrive at a good outcome.

“Take another look at this staff.”

Qin Niu then took out another mourning staff and handed it over.

The cultivation levels of the Black and White Protectors had already reached the peak of the Innate Realm, just a hair’s breadth away from ascending to the Spirit Qi Realm. Their weapons were also exceptionally fine, especially in terms of material, which comprised some of the rarest metals in the world.

“Heavy iron! This is heavy iron!”

Upon receiving it, Master Ou discovered that the mourning staff was incredibly heavy and emitted waves of a cold, gloomy aura. He couldn’t help but become even more astonished.

“For you to obtain two such fine weapons at the same time, your fortune is truly against the heavens. Red iron and heavy iron are two types of metal with completely opposite properties, both are rare treasures in this world. To use them to upgrade your blade, which has already evolved into a Spirit Weapon, even I am excited at the prospect.

If the upgrade is successful, I dare say that this sword will definitely become a peerless divine weapon.

However, having said that, upgrading a weapon, as it requires reforging the weapon in the furnace, there is a possibility of failure. If you can accept the worst-case scenario, I am willing to take on this business.”

Master Ou suppressed the excitement in his heart and clearly explained the pros and cons to Qin Niu.

Every industry has its rules.

Potential risks must be made clear.

Otherwise, if the upgrade fails and Qin Niu’s Spirit Weapon is ruined, the consequences would be quite severe.

Master Ou certainly wouldn’t be able to compensate him with another Spirit Weapon.

Qin Niu lowered his head, pondering the risks involved.

The Ink Blade was now his only weapon, which he had nurtured for so long, developing affection for it and becoming accustomed to using it.

Without upgrading, it would still suffice to handle the vast majority of situations.

“Could you please tell me the disadvantages of not upgrading and the benefits I could gain if I do upgrade?”

“Without upgrading, the limit of this sword will be rather low. It is currently at the level of a Spirit Weapon, which is almost the highest limit it can reach. Even if you provide it with the best nurturing conditions, it can at most evolve into a top-grade Spirit Weapon. Also, the evil aura within the sword’s body has already taken the upper hand, and if you don’t find a way to balance this evil aura, the sword might very well become a demonic blade.

When that happens, the Blade Spirit will prioritize its own evolution, and once its strength reaches a certain level, it will either actively absorb metals to enhance the blade or the Blade Spirit will seize the owner’s flesh, using the owner’s body as a cauldron to completely transform into a demon.”

Master Ou spoke these words with a serious demeanor.

Clearly, he wasn’t trying to scare Qin Niu.

Qin Niu had also noticed the leanings of the Blade Spirit towards evil.

Especially after absorbing the soul of that Mysterious Gu Master, the changes in the Ink Blade were particularly noticeable.

The sinister aura it radiated even made Qin Niu, its owner, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“The advantages of upgrading are numerous. First of all, it can break the limit of this sword and give it better potential for growth in the future. After the upgrade, its growth speed will be faster than now, and its power will increase significantly.

It may even develop some special abilities.

The two materials you’ve provided, red iron to counteract the evil aura in the sword body and heavy iron to absorb and neutralize some of the sinister energy, will subtly counterbalance the evil aura of the Blade Spirit.

I have a Fire Eye taken from a Fire Monkey, and embedding it in the handle of the sword should further correct the nefarious aura of both the sword body and the Blade Spirit.

Then, during the quenching process, I will use Thousand Chill Water and monster blood to temper the blade, enhancing its steeliness, toughness, and hardness to a whole new level.”

Weapon forging, quenching is also an extremely critical step.

Master Ou is an artisan, and just like the owner of that Armor Shop, he pursues higher forging techniques, sparing no expense and giving his all.

Hearing Master Ou mention the use of materials like the eyes of a monster monkey and Thousand Chill Water, Qin Niu subconsciously touched his nearly depleted silver notes. Recently, taking advantage of the turmoil within the Black Tiger Gang, the prices of land and houses plummeted, and he made a frenzy of purchases.

This also resulted in him spending most of his Silver Money.
