I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-310

This method sounded simple, but very few people could do it.

The second method was to use brute force like Gu Qinghuan, who relied on his profound Celestial Chi to continuously hammer the weapon. This method of forging had extremely high requirements for the Celestial Chi in the blacksmith's body. This was because the blacksmith could not stop hammering the weapon in this way. Once he stopped, his Qi would dissipate. Therefore, he had to hammer it to the end with one breath.

In other words, if the mystic qi in the blacksmith's body was not deep enough, or the speed of the conversion of spiritual qi was not fast enough, it would fail on the verge of success. As for changing people midway, don't even think about it. Everyone's mystic qi characteristics were different. If it was someone else, it was possible that the weapon would be shattered.

Therefore, although this method sounded like a stupid method, it was very difficult to achieve.

It was precisely because of the high requirements for forging weapons above the supreme grade that the price of such weapons was ridiculously high.

An hour later, Gu Qinghuan, who had struck the last hammer, was exhausted. Panting heavily, she sat on the ground and began to circulate her Qi.

Stepping forward to pick up the dark iron on the anvil, Jiang Beiran sensed it for a while before saying,""You've improved so quickly. It seems that your talent in forging is on par with your talent in cultivating the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Secrets."

Gu Qinghuan opened her eyes and said,""Thank you for your praise, Senior Brother."

"Also, how's the matter I asked you to do?"

Gu Qinghuan put away the cultivation technique and took out a book from her Qian Kun Ring.""Although it hasn't been completely collected, the important parts that Senior Brother told me have basically been investigated and recorded in this book."

Taking the booklet, Jiang Beiran nodded and said,""Okay, continue to circulate your energy. I'll watch for a while."

"Yes." After replying, Gu Qinghuan continued to sit cross-legged and began to circulate his Qi.

Jiang Beiran opened the booklet and began to read it with rapt attention.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Beiran slowly closed the book, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

" As expected, the Country of Liang is only so-so.'

The next thing he asked Gu Qinghuan to do was to investigate the various aspects of the country of Liang, such as the sects, the strong, the political situation, and the degree of stability.

It was very slow for one person to investigate these things, but if there were many channels, it would be much easier to understand.

Gu Qinghuan had a complicated network of relationships.

In the end, things turned out just as Jiang Beiran had expected. The Liang and Sheng countries were on the same level, or even weaker, because their economic systems were in a mess. There were actually quite a few powerful sects in the country that relied on robbing for a living.

It was also because of this that this group of boorish people who only knew how to rob and not how to produce their own had set their sights on the neighboring Sheng Kingdom, intending to make a fortune in one go.

However, although this group of boorish people was reckless, they were not so reckless that they were brainless. They knew that the Sheng Country was only stronger than them, so they secretly used some methods to take advantage of the situation.

'Yes... If they were to fight each other, they should be able to stop for a while, right?'

Although dog-eat-dog situations usually occurred when the loot was unevenly distributed, it was not impossible for it to happen earlier.

After all, when a couple fantasized about how to spend ten million yuan, they would fight.

In other words, as long as the disease was drawn in a circle, it was enough to make these people fight over how to divide the cake before they even ate it.

Of course, this was only one of Jiang Beiran's plans. If it didn't work out, he still had a series of follow-ups.

"I don't believe I can't torture you to death!"

Returning the booklet to Gu Qinghuan, who had already recovered, Jiang Beiran said,""Mm, well done. Try to finish the rest of the investigation as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Picking up the half-finished piece of dark iron, Jiang Beiran was just about to give Gu Qinghuan a few more pointers when he heard the sound of the Soul-sucking Bell. He knew without asking that Wu Qingce had returned.

A moment later, Wu Qingce pushed open the wooden door and strode into Purple Bamboo Court.

Without waiting for him to look around, Jiang Beiran walked out of the forging room and said,""You came back at the right time."

"Senior Brother!" Wu Qingce shouted excitedly before dashing toward Jiang Beiran.

Due to the different roles, Wu Qingce had been running around Fengzhou for the past few months. He had not received any orders from his senior brother, so he had only heard about his senior brother becoming the Emperor from Gu Qinghuan.

This made Wu Qingce feel that he had been neglected. Therefore, when he heard that his senior brother had returned to the sect, he quickly finished his work and rushed back.

"Stop."

Stopping Wu Qingce, who was dashing over, Jiang Beiran said,""Exaggerated? It's only been a few months since we last met. Doesn't this mean that I'm more and more assured in your work now?"

After hearing this, Wu Qingce's grievances over the past few months were swept away. He bowed and said,""According to your instructions, I've already made several middle and high-level managers of the sect owe me a favor."

"Hmm, which sects are there?"

Wu Qingce immediately took out a scroll from his Cosmos Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran.

"I wrote it all down."

Jiang Beiran opened the scroll and glanced at it, then put it away.""Yes, you're indeed more organized than before. Work harder. I want you to do more than this."

"Yes, sir!" Wu Qingce cupped his hands." I came back this time because I have something to ask Senior Brother for advice."

"What is it?"

Wu Qingce immediately untied the 10,000-kilogram sword from his waist and handed it to Jiang Beiran.""Senior brother, Wanjun seems to have already nurtured an artifact spirit, but I'm not sure. I don't know how to continue, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

" This kid really hit the jackpot.'

Although Jiang Beiran knew that Wan You was about to give birth to a Weapon Spirit, it was just a sign. There were countless weapons that had signs but no follow-up.

However, Jiang Beiran had not expected Wanjun to actually nurture a Weapon's Spirit. This was something that Jiang Beiran had not expected when he first created it.

Jiang Beiran reached out to take Wanjun. As soon as it touched Jiang Beiran's hand, he heard a sword hum coming from Wanjun. Even the blade was trembling slightly, as if it was expressing its nervousness. However, Wanjun quickly returned to normal, because it sensed a very familiar aura from Jiang Beiran.

"Yes, it really is an artifact spirit. Although it is still very weak, it has already entered the range of a magic treasure."Jiang Beiran then handed Wan Jun back to Wu Qingce.

Hearing his senior brother's confirmation, Wu Qingce was extremely excited. Even a Mystic King or a Mystic Emperor might not have such a magic treasure.

"Right now, this Artifact Spirit is still too weak and can't withstand too much tempering. When it truly awakens its intelligence, you can bring it back. At that time, I will think of a way to increase its upper limit."

"Yes, sir!" Wu Qingce said excitedly.
