NOVPUB"I am Shi Kai, I have the honor of meeting the Gu Family Master!"
Inside the grand hall of Gu Family, a burly strong man with a goatee politely greeted Gu Qingfeng with a cupped fist.
His arms were muscular and twisted as if containing explosive power, but now his expression was full of awe.
It was simple.
The man before him was Gu Qingfeng, the Master of the Gu Family.
The news about the Green Sun Sect had already spread.
The Gu Family had annihilated the Green Sun Sect, but instead of completely killing all the disciples, a very few had managed to survive and escape.
At the same time. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
The fact that the Green Sun Sect was destroyed by the Gu Family couldn’t be concealed.
Moreover.
It was rumored that during the battle with the Green Sun Sect, both the Sect Master and the Green Sun Ancestor appeared, only to be killed on the spot by the opponents.
Nowadays, the word outside was that the Gu Family Master’s cultivation realm was at least at Golden Bone Perfection, and he might even have stepped into the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Facing such a powerful being, Shi Kai dared not show any disrespect.
Even though he was backed by the entire Sword Casting Sect, the result would be the same.
The Sword Casting Sect might be powerful.
But it’s only slightly famous within the confines of White Stone Dao.
Outside White Stone Dao, the name Sword Casting Sect wasn’t worth much.
In front of a force like the Green Sun Sect, they could easily annihilate the Sword Casting Sect with a flick of the wrist.
With the Green Sun Sect being such.
The Gu Family was capable of destroying the Green Sun Sect, how could Shi Kai be careless?
Facing Shi Kai’s restraint, Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly.
"Sect Leader Shi, please, there’s no need for formalities. Today, I invited Sect Leader Shi here to ask for your help in crafting a weapon. Here are the design drawings for the weapon; please have a look."
With that.
Gu Qingfeng took out a prepared drawing and handed it to Shi Kai.
The latter received the drawing, and a long saber design entered his vision. This saber wasn’t much different from the ordinary ones; Shi Kai merely glanced at it briefly before shifting his gaze.
"What are the requirements you have for this saber, Master Gu?"
"I have only two requirements, the first is that it’s sufficiently sharp, and the second is that it’s sufficiently durable. Additionally, when casting the saber, I hope to incorporate some gold into it."
"Mixing in gold—"
Shi Kai was momentarily stunned.
After all, he had been crafting weapons for many years and hadn’t seen many people mix gold into their weapons.
The main reason.
Was that gold is precious.
Ordinary people have not even seen what gold looks like, let alone possess it.
However.
Shi Kai was worldly-wise and quickly regained composure.
"If that’s the case, then there are no problems. However, regarding the materials for crafting the weapon, do you have preparations, Master Gu?"
"Of course."
Gu Qingfeng immediately clapped his hands, summoned a servant, and casually instructed him. The servant then bowed and retreated.
Moments later.
Gu Yang entered the hall.
Gu Qingfeng said, "This is Sect Leader Shi Kai of the Sword Casting Sect, Yang’er, please lead Sect Leader Shi to our family’s storeroom to pick suitable materials for crafting.
Additionally, regarding the payment for crafting this weapon, let’s stick to what was previously agreed upon. Regardless of success, the Gu Family will offer ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver is rather generous."
A happy expression appeared on Shi Kai’s face, and he then added somewhat tactfully.
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly, "Sect Leader Shi is jesting. How could the Sword Casting Sect forge weapons for me without proper compensation? If word of this were to get out, my Gu Family would likely be criticized by others.
I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of silver because I believe the Sword Casting Sect deserves this amount!"
"Haha, then thank you, Gu Family Master!" Shi Kai laughed.
Ten thousand taels of silver was also a significant amount for the Sword Casting Sect.
Normally, the weapons forged by the Sword Casting Sect were priced at a few tens or hundreds of taels of silver, with the more expensive ones costing only a few thousand taels.
Such an amount as ten thousand taels was indeed rare.
Originally,
Shi Kai had been prepared to work for the Gu Family without any compensation, considering that forging a closer relationship with the renowned Gu Family would be most beneficial.
—
Half a day later,
Shi Kai left.
Before departing,
he promised that the forging of the Divine Weapon would be successful in as little as ten days or at most a month.
Gu Qingfeng didn’t urge him too much.
In the following days,
Gu Yang was in charge of expanding the Gu Family’s influence, while Gu Qingfeng focused on cultivating other Martial Arts.
Then,
he fulfilled his previous promise by passing down the appropriate Martial Arts to the various guards of the Gu Family.
Among the Refining Skin Realm guards, Gu Qingfeng passed down the Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth Technique, which is the first part of the Hundred Refinement Golden Body.
As for the Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists, Gu Qingfeng taught them a Martial Art called Thirteen Grand Protectors Golden Bell Shield.
This Martial Art originated from the Green Sun Sect and was considered a rather good high-grade Martial Art that could lead one to achieve Copper Bone Perfection.
Besides,
the Green Sun Sect possessed an ultimate skill called Green Sun Skills, which, when cultivated to its limit, could allow one to reach Golden Bone Perfection, giving the Martial Artist strength comparable to those one step into the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
However, Gu Qingfeng naturally wouldn’t rashly pass on such a Martial Art.
Again, the same phrase,
Although these guards had been with the Gu Family for some time, they weren’t completely trusted yet.
For a top-tier high-grade Martial Art like Green Sun Skills, Gu Qingfeng needed to choose the right person to instruct. Offering Thirteen Grand Protectors Golden Bell Shield, which allowed one to achieve Copper Bone Perfection when cultivated to its limits, was already a rare opportunity for many Martial Artists.
Then there was,
During this time,
Thanks to the Breakthrough Pill, Xu Yulan had successfully advanced from the initial stage of the Blood Refining Realm to Blood Refining Perfection, becoming the second strongest in the Gu Family.
Even though Gu Qingfeng was already aware of the potency of the Breakthrough Pills, he was still shocked to see a Martial Artist from the initial stage of the Refining Skin Realm break through to Blood Refining Perfection in less than half a month.
For ordinary people, transitioning from the initial stage of Refining Skin Realm to Blood Refining Perfection might be unachievable in their lifetime.
Even true geniuses would need a considerable amount of time to take this step.
But,
the Breakthrough Pill was just that unreasonably effective.
—
While everything at the Gu Family was as usual, the news of the destruction of the Green Sun Sect had already swept through Guangyang Prefecture.
Even beyond,
many had heard of the Gu Family’s existence.
After all, the Green Sun Sect had been established for hundreds of years and was deeply rooted, so the destruction of such a sect naturally shocked many.
Especially those powers aware of the true foundations of the Green Sun Sect were even more shocked to learn that the Green Sun Sect had been destroyed and the Green Sun Ancestor had been slain on the spot.
In the prefecture city of Guangyang, a branch of the Evil Suppression Bureau stood tall.
The matter of the Green Sun Sect’s destruction was now compiled into a record, and quietly, it appeared in the hands of the Commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau branch, Lu Wenxuan.
