Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 158

Secret forging formula? Zhou Shu fell into deep thoughts as he listened to Eunuch Zhao’s explanation.

Of course, secret forging formulas were necessary for forging ranked weapons. But even with the forging formula, one might not necessarily be able to forge the ranked weapon

This was like studying mathematics. Even with the formulas given, one might not be able to solve the problem.

Otherwise, why would the imperial family be unable to forge weapons for so many years after obtaining the secret forging formulas?

Zhou Shu had never used a forging formula of this world to forge a weapon before. He had always developed the formulas himself. But since he had the secret forging formula, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Zhou Shu reached out and took the secret forging formula from Eunuch Zhao.

The minute his hand touched the secret forging formula, he was stunned.

A ray of light flashed before his eyes, and the Legendary Armament Canon automatically appeared. The pages of the book rustled.

(Yellow-grade: Flaming Sunset Saber)!

An extremely domineering saber appeared on the page, and a message entered Zhou Shu’s mind.

It was the forging formula of the Flaming Sunset Saber!

This works too?

Zhou Shu was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the Legendary Armament Canon would be able to store the secret forging formulas of this world!

The main reason was that he had never come into contact with this world’s secret forging formulas before. Even the Liang family’s weapon forging techniques that Liang Hongxiu had given him only introduced the forging techniques and didn’t contain the secret forging formulas.

Yin Wuyou did say that she would help him find some secret forging formulas, but she hadn’t sent them to him yet.

Previously when he forged the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi, he had figured them out by himself.

Both times, the weapons were only recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon after it was forged, and the the forging process was optimized.

Right now, he had only come into contact with the forging formula of the Flaming Sunset Saber, and it was actually directly recorded into the Legendary Armament Canon!

Furthermore, he had directly mastered the most perfect forging process.

It seems like I still haven’t figured out how to use the Legendary Armament Canon, Zhou Shu thought.

“Marquis?” Eunuch Zhao whispered when he saw Zhou Shu in a daze.

“Oh, I’m fine.” Zhou Shu returned to his senses and casually tossed the weapon forging formula onto the table beside him, as if he didn’t care at all.

Eunuch Zhao’s eyelids twitched. This was a secret forging formula for a yellow-grade weapon. The Flaming Sunset Saber was considered an extraordinary existence among yellow-grade weapons, yet it was thrown aside just like that?

Do you not know the value of this formula?

Although it’s extremely difficult to forge, if it were thrown out, countless Forging Masters would fight to the death for it!

“Marquis, this secret forging formula is a secret of our Great Xia. It’s best not to let outsiders know about it,” Eunuch Zhao hinted.

“Alright, I understand.” Zhou Shu nodded.

Eunuch Zhao stood up and said his goodbyes. As he left the marquis’s residence, he turned his head to glance at Zhou Shu. He just so happened to see Zhou Shu light the ancient secret forging formula with a candle. He almost couldn’t help but turn around and stop him. But after thinking about it, he felt that since the secret forging formula had already been given to Zhou Shu, it was his. How he dealt with it was his own freedom…

Eunuch Zhao shook his head and sighed as he returned to the palace.

“You gave him the forging formula?” Emperor Yuan Feng asked as he saw Eunuch Zhao return.

“Yes,” Eunuch Zhao said. After thinking for a moment, he decided to speak the truth. After all, if he hid this news from Emperor Yuan Feng, and he found out in the future, he would inevitably be accused of deceiving the emperor. “What? You said that he burned the secret forging formula of the Flaming Sunset Saber?” Emperor Yuan Feng stood up in shock.

Although there were heaven, earth, black, and yellow grade weapons, there were very few heaven-grade weapons. Forging Masters who could forge earth-grade weapons were already extremely rare. Black and yellow-grade weapons were the mainstream weapons among Forging Masters.

Although the Flaming Sunset Saber was only a yellow-grade weapon, it was very powerful Back then, it had once ranked in the top ten in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. Later on, no one was able to forge it, and the original Flaming Sunset Saber was destroyed, so its reputation gradually faded.

The value of such a saber’s forging formula was absolutely immeasurable!

This kid burned it just like that?

Does he look down on it?

Bastard, could I have given him too many rewards before and increased his appetite too much?

He’s not even interested in a yellow-grade weapon’s forging formula? Is he only interested in my daughter?

“Bastard! Do you really think you can get past me just by forging the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi?” Emperor Yuan Feng was furious. “Don’t even think about it! Great companion, go and ask that brat if he’s completed the mission of the Forging Division.”

The Huaxia Pavilion, as well as the first 36 workshops of the Forging Division, might not be known as workshops, but they were still under the Forging Division.

Forging Masters did indeed have a lot of autonomy, but they had responsibilities toward the Forging Division. They still had to complete the Forging Division’s forging missions.

Of course, although they were responsible for the forging of some standard weapons, they didn’t feel any pressure at all. They could just casually assign them to the Forging Apprentices.

There were also Forging Apprentices in the first 36 workshops. They were all disciples of Forging Masters. Before advancing to become Forging Masters, they also needed to practice. Emperor Yuan Feng didn’t really care about these missions. He was just angered by Zhou Shu’s actions of burning the secret forging formula.

“Tell that brat that within three months, no, six months, I want to see a Flaming Sunset Saber!” Emperor Yuan Feng gritted his teeth.

Emperor Yuan Feng didn’t really care if Zhou Shu could forge a yellow-grade weapon. But that brat actually dared to burn the secret forging formula he had bestowed upon him. He simply had no respect for him!

“Tell him that if I don’t see the Flaming Sunset Saber, he can forget about getting his yearly salary!”

Eunuch Zhao wanted to roll his eyes. Why does it feel like an old man and a young child are fighting?

Are you serious, Your Majesty?

Is this considered punishment?

Do you think that Forging Masters really rely on their salary?

Eunuch Zhao grumbled, but he still followed Emperor Yuan Feng’s instructions and returned very quickly.

Eunuch Zhao bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I haven’t seen Marquis Zhou. The steward at his residence said that he’s in seclusion forging again.

“Marquis Zhou is truly the most diligent Forging Master I have ever seen-“

“He went into seclusion to forge weapons?” Emperor Yuan Feng frowned. He coldly said, “He knows he made a mistake, so he deliberately hid?

“Great companion, keep an eye on him. When he comes out, tell him what I told you before! I’ll see how long he can hide from me! I want to see how he will forge the Flaming Sunset Saber after he burns the forging formula!”

In the forging room of the You Marquis’s mansion…

Zhou Shu was excitedly forging the Flaming Sunset Saber.

Hide?

What a joke!

Why would he hide?

Burn the formula?

Weren’t you afraid that the secret forging formula would be stolen by outsiders?

The safest way was to burn it.

In any case, the Flaming Sunset Saber had already been recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon, and he already had the complete forging formula of the Flaming Sunset Saber in his mind.

It didn’t matter if he had that piece of paper.

There was no need for him to repeatedly study the secret forging formula, and he would save more than a day or two of time.

Therefore, Zhou Shu couldn’t wait to start forging the Flaming Sunset Saber.

The Flaming Sunset Saber had already been recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon. As long as he forged it, it could provide him with an endless supply of rewards to become stronger.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Shu naturally didn’t want to wait a moment longer. The materials in his hands were barely enough to forge a Flaming Sunset Saber.

Zhou Shu had directly mastered the forging formula of the Flaming Sunset Saber, so he didn’t need to repeatedly test the ratio of materials. This saved him a lot of forging materials.

The entire forging process had been deeply imprinted in Zhou Shu’s mind, and every step he took was a piece of cake.

The Flaming Sunset Saber was returning to this world at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While Zhou Shu was forging the Flaming Sunset Saber, in Qingzhou a thousand miles away, a beautiful woman was holding an Eight-Sided Han Sword. She was confronting a two-meter tall giant white wolf. This woman was Liang Hongxiu, who had redeemed herself and left Chang’an!

She had already changed out of her red dress and was wearing a dark-colored outfit. There was a red scarf wrapped around her right wrist and stubbornness on her beautiful face.

“Come on! I’m not afraid of you!” Liang Hongxiu shouted with all her strength as the veins on her hand holding the Eight-Sided Han Sword bulged. Only she knew how much she had suffered since she came all the way here from the capital.

If it wasn’t for her belief, she would have collapsed long ago.

She had heard of the dangers of the world in the past, but only after experiencing it did she know how difficult it was.

With her insignificant Martial Dao foundation, she was already extremely lucky to arrive here safely.

But now, her luck seemed to have run out.

When she was only a few dozen miles away from Qingzhou, she actually encountered a demonic beast!

Demonic beast, snow wolf!

It was a demonic beast in the middle three ranks with a cultivation level at the fifth rank of the Martial Dao!

Not to mention that it was Liang Hongxiu who had encountered a Snow Wolf, even if Yin Chengshan’s team encountered it, they would also die without a doubt!

The snow wolf’s huge eyes had a mocking look as it walked toward Liang Hongxiu.

Liang Hongxiu bit her lips. She gripped the hilt of the Eight-Sided Han Sword tightly as her gaze landed on the sword.

Do I really have to give up?

She murmured to herself, “A beautiful lady has her beaded curtain raised, Behind which in deep thoughts she sits with her elegantly thin eyebrows distorted; I can see moist trails of tears from the corners of her eyes, I wonder who it is that she harbors resentment toward?”

A ray of light flashed across her eyes. The next moment, she held the Eight-Sided Han Sword and charged resolutely toward the snow wolf.

Her graceful figure was like a moth flying into a flame. She knew that she would die, but she did not hesitate!

The snow wolf’s eyes were brimming with contempt as it raised its huge palm. It could slap this human to death with just its palm.

It wondered what this delicate meat would taste like.

Bang!

Just as the snow wolf’s huge palm was about to land on Liang Hongxiu, and the Eight-Sided Han Sword in her hand was still a distance away from the Snow Wolf’s body…

Suddenly, there was a dull thump, and the snow wolf’s enormous body was sent flying.

Boom!

With a loud thud, the snow wolf’s body crashed into the ground. It rolled a few times before leaping up and looking ahead in horror.

There was a figure in front of Liang Hongxiu.

It was a woman in green who exuded a cold

aura.

She stood there, her body slightly slim, but for some reason, the snow wolf retreated as it stared at her. “Lend me your sword.” A voice fell into Liang Hongxiu’s ears.

The voice was very pleasant to the ear, but it seemed abnormally cold, as if it had no human emotion at all.

Liang Hongxiu subconsciously gripped the Eight-Sided Han Sword in her hand tightly.

She could lose her life, but not her sword!

Live or die, my sword will stay with me. This was what she had told herself when she had obtained this sword.

Not getting the result she wanted, the green-clothed woman turned around and glanced at Liang Hongxiu.

It was a devastatingly beautiful face. In terms of appearance, she was not inferior to Yin Wuyou at all and was even more beautiful than Liang Hongxiu.

A strange look flashed across her eyes.

“I’ll just borrow it for a while. I won’t damage it,” she said coldly.

Liang Hongxiu’s hand felt lighter, and her expression changed drastically.

Before she could say anything, a blinding white light flashed, and the Eight-Sided Han Sword returned to her hand.

The woman in green slowly turned around.

She seemed to have moved just now, but she didn’t seem to have moved at all.

Liang Hongxiu was dumbfounded. She had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, the eyes of the snow wolf, which was constantly retreating in the distance, were suddenly filled with terror before it crashed to the ground. Its enormous head had already been separated from its body.

Blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the snow-white fur of the snow wolf red.

The red was so bright that even Liang Hongxiu, who liked red, felt a little dizzy.

“Despite being in a desperate situation, you didn’t give up. Even though you knew you were no match for your opponent, you refused to let go of the sword in your hand. Although you are a little weak, you are still a good swordsman.” The green-clothed woman sized up Liang Hongxiu. “Are you willing to learn the Sword Dao with me?”

Liang Hongxiu blinked. Although she was still in a daze, it was obvious the green-clothed woman had borrowed the Eight-Sided Han Sword in her hand, killed the snow wolf with one strike, and then returned the sword to her.

Throughout the entire process, she didn’t even see what had happened clearly.

This unbelievably beautiful woman in front of her was clearly an expert. She was so powerful that Liang Hongxiu couldn’t comprehend her.

“Who are you? Are you from Great Wei?”

Liang Hongxiu took a deep breath while pondering, and her eyes gradually regained clarity. So what if she’s an expert? I didn’t come to Qingzhou purely for cultivation. If I can’t accomplish anything, how can I stand tall in front of that person? When the green-clothed woman saw the change in Liang Hongxiu’s eyes, her face revealed undisguised appreciation. Her hands were behind her back, and her chest, which was not too prominent, was pushed forward. “Qingzhou, Lu Wenshuang.”

The green-clothed woman’s voice entered Liang Hongxiu’s ears like thunder in spring, shaking her mind and making her unable to control herself.
