Chapter 148: Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Shu looked at the contents of the Legendary Armament Canon and felt slightly excited.

Just as he had expected, he had to develop his own ranked weapons!

This time, the contents of the Legendary Armament Canon were slightly different from before.

The title was blank, and below it was a picture of a weapon. Farther down, it was exactly the same as the Great Destroyer Sword.

(Upgrade: 0/100]

The Legendary Armament Canon can also upgrade the ranked weapons I create?

Zhou Shu was pleasantly surprised. Although he might be able to upgrade his weapon through his own research, since the Legendary Armament Canon gave him benefits, he wouldn’t refuse.

There’s no name. Do I name it myself?

Zhou Shu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. This sword of mine was forged in the shape of the Longquan Sword that was common in my previous life. The Longquan Sword has another name

The Seven Star Dragon Abyss!

Let’s call it this!

With a thought, a few large words automatically appeared on the title of the Legendary Armament Canon page.

[Yellow Grade, Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword]!

In an instant, information flooded into Zhou Shu’s mind. He seemed to see the entire process of a person forging the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

This forging process was somewhat similar to his, but there were some adjustments.

‘These adjusted areas were even more perfect and concise than Zhou Shu’s forging process.

Legendary Armament Canon has optimized the forging process of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword!

Zhou Shu immediately understood what was going on.

He felt that the Legendary Armament Canon was like a dutiful teacher. He had done his homework, and it had even given him a review. After reviewing it, it even told him that this was the correct way to solve this question.

After he absorbed the information from the Legendary Armament Canon, his understanding of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword became even more thorough.

At the same time, he felt that his forging skill had improved slightly.

I wonder if the Legendary Armament Canon will give me benetits if the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword successfully completes kills?

Since the Legendary Armament Canon already has a page for the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, the rest should be similar to other weapons.

Practice is the only way to test the truth. Zhou Shu felt a little proud. I’m indeed a forging genius!

Since this method is effective, I can even transform the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber and the others into ranked weapons.

However, even if he modified them, they would only look the same. In reality, they couldn’t be considered the same weapon.

They would be like identical twins with different characters.

I’m not ina rush for these things. Let’s test the power of this Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword first!

Zhou Shu looked at his surroundings. This time, he didn’t try it in the forging room. If he destroyed the forging furnace again, he wouldn’t have the money to buy a new one.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he flicked his wrist and wielded the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand as he injected a strand of spiritual essence into the sword.

His spiritual essence circulated along the star paths inside the sword, and suddenly, sword qi erupted.

Sizzle—

Zhou Shu raised the sword, and sword qi visible to the naked eye thrust into the rockery in the middle of the courtyard.

Boom!

The sword qi pierced a bow!-sized hole through the rockery.

“Assassins!” A loud cry rang out, and with the sound of rushing wind, a few figures rushed in.

These people were the experts sent by the Mi family and Divine Constable Bureau.

They were all under orders to protect Zhou Shu. After several incidents, all parties had become as easily startled as birds. Zhou Shu was now their main target of protection.

‘As soon as there was any sign of trouble, they immediately rushed over.

“Sorry, it’s a misunderstanding. I was just testing my weapon,” Zhou Shu said apologetically.

“Marquis!” The steward also stumbled in. Only when he saw that Zhou Shu was unharmed did he heave a sigh of relief.

“Youre finally out, Marquis.”

If Zhou Shu still didn’t come out, he would really have to return to the Mi residence to seek help.

“Tm fine.” Zhou Shu waved his hand.

‘The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword was not as powerful as the Great Destroyer Sword, but it was still not bad.

‘The Great Destroyer Swords overall destructive power was strong. But if the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword was combined with a sword technique, it could unleash a decent amount of power.

I wonder how it will rank in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. I guess I’ll know tomorrow.

Sun Gongping should be satisfied with the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, right?

Since Zhou Shu had the Great Destroyer Sword, he naturally wouldn’t keep the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword for himself.

He didn’t know whether Sun Gongping would be satisfied or not, but he was quite satisfied with it himself.

After all, this was the first ranked weapon he had forged on his own.

“Steward, is there any news from the Marquis Weiyuan residence? Is the young marquis awake?” Zhou Shu asked.

After returning to the capital, he couldn’t see Yin Wuyou, but he did visit Sun Gongping once.

Sun Gongping’s situation wasn’t too good, but Marquis Weiyuan’s family was no ordinary family either. They had invited countless imperial physicians.

‘There was no problem in saving Sun Gongping’s life, but even the imperial physicians couldn’t tell when he would wake up.

Zhou Shu had previously asked the steward to inquire about the situation. He had been in seclusion for the past few days, so he didn’t know the details.

“Young Marquis Weiyuan hasn’t woken up yet. However, the people in the Marquis Weiyuan residence have said that his condition has improved. You don’t have to worry, Marquis,” the steward said.

“Two days ago, Miss Haitang from the princess’s residence came once. She told me that the princess has already woken up…”

“She’s awake?” Zhou Shu said in surprise.

Previously, he wanted to visit Yin Wuyou. But unfortunately, the emperor didn’t allow it, and he didn’t want to sneak into the imperial palace at night.

After thinking that nothing would happen to Yin Wuyou in the palace anyway, he temporarily put his worries aside.

“Is the princess in the princess’s residence or the palace?” Zhou Shu asked.

The steward felt a little awkward. How would I know that?

The steward thought about it and said, “There hasn’t been any activity in the princess’s residence next door. I think the princess hasn’t returned yet.”

Zhou Shu raised an eyebrow. If he wanted to see Yin Wuyou in the palace, it would be troublesome.

It was unknown what the old emperor was thinking. He was guarding against him like a thief. He reckoned that even if he went to seek an audience now, the old emperor would still send him back.

“Where’s Haitang?” Zhou Shu asked.

If he couldn’t see Yin Wuyou, he could ask Haitang. He was really worried about Yin Wuyou’s health.

“are you looking for me?” Suddenly, a slim figure flipped over from behind a tall wall.

Zhou Shu’s face darkened. “Why did you climb over the wall instead of coming through the door?”

Haitang had once been his maid for a period of time. Although this maid didn’t know how to do anything, he was familiar with her, so he wasn’t very polite when speaking to her.

“If Luse the door, I will have to make a big detour.

“Marquis, were you looking for me?” Haitang blinked and asked.

“Tell me first. What are you doing here?” Zhou Shu said. It doesn’t seem like she came after hearing my voice. She probably just happened to hear me.

“Marquis, Her Highness wishes to see you,” Haitang said.

“She’s back?” Zhou Shu said.

“No, that’s why I’m here,” Haitang said. “I’m here to bring you over, Marquis. Without someone to bring you, you won’t be able to enter the palace.”

Although marquis was already a high second-rank official, even a first-rank official could not enter the inner palace, let alone a second rank one.

Moreover, the princess’s palace was where the female imperial family members resided.

Zhou Shu originally wanted to ask Haitang about Yin Wuyou’s situation, but since he could see her now, there was no need to ask.

“Let’s go,” Zhou Shu urged.

Haitang sized up Zhou Shu. “You’re going just like that?”

Zhou Shu had gone into seclusion to forge his weapon. It had been many days since he had washed up, and he truly didn’t look very decent.

Zhou Shu also realized this. “Wait for me!”

He quickly rushed back to his residence and washed himself with cold water before changing into a clean set of clothes. Only then did he look for Haitang again.

“Let’s go!”

With Haitang leading him, Zhou Shu entered the palace unimpeded.

A thief in the family was difficult to detect.

After all, Emperor Yuan Feng couldn’t keep an eye on Zhou Shu all day, and he couldn’t openly declare that Zhou Shu was forbidden from entering the palace.

Emperor Yuan Feng, who was busy handling government affairs, didn’t even know that Haitang had brought Zhou Shu into the palace with the princess’s token.

“Grand Minister!”

When Zhou Shu saw Yin Wuyou, who was as weak as a delicate flower, and recalled the words she had written with her blood that day, a chord was touched in his heart.

Yin Wuyou was already able to sit up. She sat weakly on the couch, her beautiful face without any makeup still breathtakingly beautiful.

Yin Wuyou looked at Zhou Shu’s unshaven and gaunt face, and her heart warmed.

I’ve been injured for the past few days, and he hasn’t been eating or drinking. He’s already so thin

“Tm fine now. I’ll fully recover in a few days,” Yin Wuyou said gently. You don’t have to worry. Im almost recovered.

“That’s great.” Zhou Shu sighed in relief. “Grand Minister, if anything happened to you, I would regret it for the rest of my life.”

If it weren’t for him, Yin Wuyou wouldn’t have left the capital. He didn’t have to pretend to be held hostage, but he almost harmed Yin Wuyou.

Yin Wuyou’s pretty face instantly tured red. She was clearly thinking in the wrong direction again.

“You don’t have to regret anything now. I’m fine.” Yin Wuyou’s voice was as soft as a mosquito.

“Grand Minister, what did you say?” Even with Zhou Shu’s sharp ears, he didn’t hear what she said.

“Nothing,” Yin Wuyou hurriedly said. “Um, I called you here to give you something.”

Yin Wuyou called Haitang over, and Haitang took a small bag from her back. She had just taken it from the princess’s residence.

“Lwas planning to give it to you before. But something happened, and I ended up only giving it to you today.”

Yin Wuyou gathered her long hair hanging down from her forehead. “If you want to become a Forging Master, you have to try forging ranked weapons.

“According to the rules of the Forging Division, you aren’t a Forging Master yet, so I can’t give you the treatment of a Forging Master. However, you’ve made great contributions in the past, and I managed to obtain some things from His Majesty.”

She took the small bag, took out a small wooden box, and handed it to Zhou Shu.

“What is this?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.

He subconsciously took it and opened it.

“Heaven Refining Stone?” Zhou Shu exclaimed.

Yin Wuyou’s eyes flashed with a trace of complacency. “That’s right. It’s a Heaven Refining Stone. When forging a ranked weapon, Heaven Refining Stone is required. You can use this Heaven Refining Stone to practice. With your talent, even if you don’t have a teacher to guide you, you might still be able to

forge a ranked weapon.

“When I’m feeling better, I’ll go to the imperial library to help you find some notes on the experiences of Forging Masters…”

Zhou Shu looked at the Heaven Refining Stone. He didn’t take Yin Wuyou’s words to heart.

Zhou Shu found the fist-sized Heaven Refining Stone in the box increasingly familiar.

Isn’t this the Heaven Refining Stone I got from Xiao Shunzhi and had Yin Changhao buy from me?

After going around, it came back?

He looked at the Heaven Refining Stone and then at Yin Wuyou.

Yin Wuyou was a little embarrassed by his gaze and thought there was something on her face. If Zhou Shu wasn’t here, she would have asked Haitang to bring her a mirror to see.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yin Wuyou said embarrassedly and even wrapped a blanket around her chest.

“Grand Minister, this Heaven Refining Stone is very precious, right?” Zhou Shu probed. “I heard that Heaven Refining Stones are incomparably precious. A few grams is worth thousands of taels of gold. Isn’t so much Heaven Refining Stone worth tens of thousands of taels of gold?”

“Something like that,” Yin Wuyou said, “But this is what you deserve. You helped Great Xia recover the two prefectures, so this is nothing. If they didn’t give it to me, I would…”

Yin Wuyou harrumphed cutely.

Zhou Shu more or less understood. This Heaven Refining Stone might really have been obtained from Yin Changhao.

He felt like laughing when he thought about how Yin Changhao might behave.

That old fellow still wanted to take advantage of me. How is it? It’s your turn to suffer a loss.

“Don’t worry and use it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed. After you use up all the Heaven Refining Stone, I’ll think of a way for you. Try a few more times, and you’ll definitely become a Forging Master,” Yin Wuyou said generously. The princess had confidence in her words.

“Well…” Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Grand Minister, I’m already a Forging Master. There’s no need for me to waste the Heaven Refining Stone to figure it out.

“Why don’t you take this back?”

Although he was a little tempted, he couldn’t take advantage of a girl.

“You’re already a Forging Master?” Yin Wuyou frowned.

“Grand Minister, if you don’t believe me, look at this.”

Zhou Shu was still carrying the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword that he had just forged. He had originally planned on sending it to the Marquis Weiyuan residence, but now was the perfect time to prove it.

“This Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword is an authentic yellow-grade weapon that I just forged.” Zhou Shu handed the sword to Yin Wuyou.

Yin Wuyou reached out to receive it. She was also an expert, and the moment she held the sword, she could tell that it was indeed a yellow-grade weapon! “This sword…”

“This sword is already taken. Grand Minister, you can’t take it!” Zhou Shu recalled Yin Wuyou’s dark history. Several times, the first copy of the standard weapons he forged had been taken away by Yin Wuyou and never returned.

“I forged this Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword for Sun Gongping. He paid for it!” Zhou Shu hurriedly explained.

“I see.” Yin Wuyou was a little disappointed and reluctantly returned the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword to Zhou Shu.

“Take the Heaven Refining Stone. Even if you’ve become a Forging Master and don’t need to use the Heaven Refining Stone to figure out how to become one, you’ll still need the Heaven Refining Stone to forge a ranked weapon.”

Seeing Yin Wuyou’s disappointed expression, Zhou Shu spoke up.. “Grand Minister, do you want a ranked weapon?”
