Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 871 We Forgers Promise To Keep Our Word (2)

At this moment, Zheng Jingyun also felt that something was wrong, but he was still stubborn. "Hmph, no matter how strong he is, how many forging materials can he take away alone?! How much can he take?"

Zheng Chengan complained in his heart. Ancestor, oh old ancestor, you don't know who this person is!

He could even empty the storehouse of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Don't tell me you really think he doesn't have a grotto-heaven just because he's not at the Grotto-Heaven realm?

Zheng Chengan didn't want to argue with his ancestor. He looked at Ji Lutian and asked in a low voice, "Old Ji, tell me honestly. Does he have a grotto-heaven divine weapon?"

If he obtained an affirmative answer from Ji Lutian, he would definitely have to negotiate with Zhou Shu later. Even if it was half, the Sima Grotto-Heaven couldn't afford to lose it. Now that war was imminent, every piece of supply might save lives in the future.

He didn't want the Sima Grotto-Heaven to follow in Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's footsteps.

"Yes." Ji Lutian nodded. "He just forged a grotto-heaven divine weapon called the Celestial Thearch Sword."

Zheng Chengan's heart skipped a beat.

Ji Lutian continued, "But the Celestial Thearch Sword has just been forged. Although it's a grotto-heaven divine weapon, Zhou Shu hasn't fused with the internal world yet, so he can't store forging materials. You can rest assured about this."

Zheng Chengan heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still worried.

This was Zhou Shu, the Zhou Shu who had robbed the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's storehouse empty!

How many times had he plundered the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?

It was said that not long ago, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had let a demonic beast dig up a few mines. If he remembered correctly, this demonic beast who had a divine weapon called the Two Region Mountain was with the people of Great Xia. Needless to say, Zhou Shu was definitely the one who sent him.

How could he be at ease with such a person?

His ancestor didn't need to take care of such matters. He didn't know that the big Sima Grotto-Heaven might look rich, but in fact, it spent tremendous amounts of resources. It couldn't withstand such loss at all.

He was also cursing Zheng Jingyun in his heart. Ancestor, why did you make a bet with Zhou Shu?

Even if you want to bet, can't you set the stakes lower?

At this point, there was nothing he could do.

After all, it was his ancestor. He couldn't reason with his ancestor and could only think of a way to make up for it.

He hoped that Zhou Shu didn't have any hidden grotto-heaven divine weapons on him or that he wouldn't be able to take away half of the things in the storehouse.

Although this storehouse wasn't the only storehouse in the Sima Grotto-Heaven, there was a massive amount of forging materials stored inside. It wouldn't be easy to take half of them away.

...

Not caring about the various moods of the three people outside the door, Zhou Shu stepped into the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven's forging workshop and immediately fell in love with it.

It had to be said that the Sima Grotto-Heaven was indeed worthy of being a grotto-heaven with a forging legacy. This place was much tidier than the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's storehouse.

All the forging materials were sorted according to the habits of forgers and stacked neatly.

In Zhou Shu's eyes, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

We forgers should be organized like this. Leaving forging materials with those bastards in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is a waste.

Although this place looks pleasing to the eye, the number one principle of us forgers is to make good things our own.

Swoosh!

Zhou Shu raised his hand and began to store forging materials in his Cosmic Bangles.

He indeed didn't have a grotto-heaven divine weapon that he could store items in. The grotto-heaven fragment that Madam Wang, Diao Moye, had given him had already shattered, but he still had Cosmic Bangles.

The Cosmic Bangles he had were originally full of forging materials, but when he forged the Celestial Thearch Sword, he had used up almost all of them.

Now, he could refill these empty Cosmic Bangles.

At this moment, the benefits of the Sima Grotto-heaven's storehouse could be seen.

All the forging materials here were stored into categories according to the habits of forgers.

This made it very convenient for Zhou Shu to find the forging materials he needed and the more precious ones.

Since he had said that he would only take half, he would only take half. A man had to keep his word!

Of course, he had to choose what he needed and what was valuable!

Zhou Shu was very fast. Before long, he filled up the Cosmic Bangles.

He looked at the rows of forging materials. Not to mention half, he didn't even take a third of them. At most, he had only taken one-fifth.

And he had dozens of Cosmic Bangles with him. Even if there weren't so many things here, he still wouldn't be able to take half!

This storehouse was definitely much larger than the one in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven he had robbed.

The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven definitely has a bigger storehouse. I made a loss last time!

Zhou Shu made up his mind to make another trip to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.

Tang Qianluo had targeted him time and time again. Did he really think that Zhou Shu didn't have a temper?

Tang Qianluo was still useful. It would be a waste to kill him, but Zhou Shu definitely wouldn't show mercy if he could fleece the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven again.

Zhou Shu looked at the forging materials. When a man says half, he means half. Since I can't take them away, I'll use them on the spot!

It couldn't be one kilogram less, not even one gram less!

Zhou Shu's gaze flashed across the forging materials like lightning, and ideas kept colliding in his mind.

Soon, he locked onto an idea. A secret forging formula had already appeared in his mind.

Without any hesitation, he beckoned with both hands, and dozens of forging materials flew between his hands. Under the power of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, they began to fuse with each other.

Zheng Jingyun's understanding of Zhou Shu was still not deep enough. He didn't know that Zhou Shu could forge weapons with his bare hands. He had even forgotten the effect Zhou Shu using the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book had on forging.

The white light on Zhou Shu's body flickered for a moment, and then a connate divine weapon was completed in his hand!

Heavenly Emperor Jade Book, time was like a saber.

Zhou Shu was already proficient in temporarily controlling the flow of time around his body. When it came to forging, a divine weapon that should have taken months to complete only took an instant for Zhou Shu!

Of course, doing so consumed a lot of Zhou Shu's energy. Previously, when he forged the Celestial Thearch Sword, he wouldn't have been able to last until the end without Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun's help.

However, he was only forging an ordinary connate divine weapon now. The consumption of energy was far less than before, and he could still withstand it.

Zhou Shu wiped the sweat off his forehead and calculated that he hadn't obtained half of the forging materials yet.

Let's continue then!

The Iron Smelting Hands Technique burned fiercely, and connate divine weapons kept appearing at Zhou Shu's feet. His face was pale, and beads of sweat kept falling to the floor before instantly evaporating. His body was already swaying, as if he could barely stand.

But there was a will that kept him going.

As long as he didn't tire himself to death, he had to persevere!

"Brat, have you made your choice? Don't think about staying in there for too long. We agreed that I would give you a day at most!" Zheng Jingyun's voice came from outside, sounding anxious.

"It won't take a day. In another two hours, I'll be done!" Zhou Shu raised his voice and focused all his attention on forging again. After forging this divine weapon, he would have almost consumed all the ordinary forging materials.

These connate divine weapons were much easier to carry than forging materials.

Unfortunately, he had given Zheng Chengan too much face. Should I go back on my word regarding half of the forging materials?

Forget it. I'll consider it as returning Zheng Chengan's favor. Anyway, with Zheng Jingyun's intelligence, who knows when he'll take the initiative to send the other half to me.

Zhou Shu, who was already exhausted to death, perked up at the thought of this. The flame in his hand burned hotter, and his forging speed increased!
