Commanding Wind and Cloud
chapter-57

Skyue Stone? Qian Jin had once heard of it in class, and he knew that even if this whole Slide-Cloud Stone was staked, it still could not be traded for a head-sized Skyue Stone! It was said that a Skyue Stone was capable of bringing every seriously-injured dying weapon back to life!

But it was, in the same time, very fragile! Every time it was used, its energy would be consumed a lot! So even big families with Bloodline Warriors would not use it if not necessary!

Sprinkling some water on the Slide-Cloud Stone, Qian JIn carefully put the sword on it with two hands, one holding the hilt, and the other holding the body. Then he began to recall the blade-washing skills!

For those who could only do the sharpening, Skyreed was dead. However, for those who had mastered blade-washing, it definitely could be saved!

Clang! Hearing the sound of metals scraping the grindstone, Fabreidis’ heart twitched! He gazed at his love and the bursting pearly spray with a nervous look!

This was a gambling for him! For so many times, he could barely withstand seeing his love lifelessly lying there to the point where he attempted to take the risk to have it sharpened!

He knew that as a Warrior Weapon, Skyreed would rather die with dignity than lie on the shelf being fair without a foul within!

That’s it! Fabreidis had been unable to make up his mind all the time, but facing this young man, he was suddenly pumped with confidence! He was willing to take the chance regardless how it would end!

With every movement Qian Jin made, Fabreidis felt like he was going to pass out for fear that the next friction would drop the Warrior Weapon into hell!

Clang… Clang… Clang...

The sound kept uttering off and on, and the white icy woman stood beside Fabreidis without any noise. Her fingers clenched the long dress, and for the first time, there had been a trace of nervousness in her eyes!

"Can he really make it work?" Fabreidis seemed to have lost his faith as time passed by! It was beyond description how hard it was to revive a Warrior Weapon. Even those red-robed elders of the Blacksmith Union would consider it a long shot with a Skyue Stone! How come he trusted this young warrior student with this impossible task?

The sun reached its peak and curl smoke rose from the chimneys in the city!

A stripe of determined light that could kill without touch suddenly reflected from the grindstone! It was far brighter than the burning sun, causing warm yard to turn into an ice box out of the blue!

"Haha! It’s done!" Wielding his wrist, Qian Jin injected his Level 6 warrior energy into Skyreed and immediately sensed a trace of ease like a fish swimming in the sea, which was completely different from what was generated by holding a hammer!

"It has truly come back..." Fabreidis gazed at Skyreed with unceasing shock! His hands trembled as he took the sword! He gently kissed it, and after injecting his warrior energy into it, he nearly petrified. "This..."

"How is this possible?" After so many Forge Masters and Red-robed Elders had called its death, it had actually returned to life today! How could this be possible?

The Warrior Weapon, which was labeled "DECEASED" by the Blacksmith Union—the authority of playing with metals—was eventually saved in this young man’s hand! And this young man was just a Level 5 Blacksmith!

For the first time, the icy woman was intrigued. "Why is Father acting like this? Shouldn’t he be much happier that Skyreed has come back? Or is it just a fake come-back?"

"How did you do this?" The stiff look on Fabreidis’s face turned into sudden ecstasy. "Oh my god! Skyreed has become better! Yes! I can feel that my Warrior Weapon is stronger than ever! It's the resharpening! I can’t believe my eyes!"

Fabreidis was about to faint! He had thought about the revival, which was, in fact, completely out of reach! But this young man! Was he a God-tier Blacksmith? Otherwise, how could he have managed the saving and the upgrading? This was so crazy! So unreal! What group of idiots the Blacksmith Union had been!

Stronger? This time it was Qian Jin who got lost. Was it for the blade-washing skill or the Slide-Cloud Stone? It seemed he had to find it out next time he saw old Blake!

"Fabreidis..." Qian Jin put his hand on his belly and changed the subject. "I have been busy all morning, so I’m really starving right now!"

"Starving?" The about-to-faint elder quickly patted his forehead. "Oh, please excuse me! I was too excited! Come, come, and let me treat you! Oh, I owe you a big time! "

The woman followed Qian Jin into the room. She stared at the figure, and obviously, she was thinking about something!

"Oh Qian Jin, how can I express my gratitude?"

"Gold coins? No, no, too vulgar! Hum... How about I taking you as my apprentice? You are so talented, and I believe that you should have the opportunity to transcend me in the future, and take my position as the guardian of Oakland!"

"No? Then how does a recommendation into the Warrior Union sound?"

"Or..."

Bearing a wry smile, Qian Jin shook his head again and again. Over this meal, he had at least declined the reward for ten times! Although he had explained this favor was done only because he was moved by the love of Fabreidis for Skyreed, it just couldn’t extinguish the hospitality of the man!

Fabreidis totally lost his sense with Skyreed coming back! If he had been a woman, he would definitely have married this life-saver as the reward!

Holding Skyreed, Fabreidis once again felt the connection, as if they had shared the same flesh and blood! He even couldn’t wait to go to the human-demon battlefield to cut some heads off! Skyreed had been hungry for such a long time, and some long-lost blood would be a perfect starter to quench its hunger!

In those days without Skyreed , he had lived like a man without an arm!

The feeling was beyond imagination! For so many years, he had blamed himself for the death of the sword! Sometimes he even found himself woken up by nightmares of remorse!

Now. it was the time that he should enjoy the ravishing moment!

Qian Jin enjoyed the most sumptuous meal since he came in Oakland City. As a warrior, Qian JIn was quite clear that he should not overeat for his own sake! But he just couldn’t deny himself from such a delicious food; he could only be satisfied with a swollen belly!
