"It always feels like something is wrong."

In a relatively remote hall of the Chen family's mansion, a raging fire was burning.

A huge stove was placed in front of us, with hot molten iron flowing on it and smoke rising from it at the moment.

A long black knife was located inside, and it was making bursts of screams at the moment.

"Operation error."

Looking at the recast black long sword in front of him and its appearance, Chen Ming couldn't help but shook his head: "It looked like this all of a sudden."

In his hand, the long black knife looked full of gray marks and mottled colors. It seemed that other materials had been added during the smelting process, so that there were many impurities in it.

Compared with the previous appearance of this long knife, this black knife looked particularly shabby at the moment, as if it had suddenly dropped several levels.

However, although the appearance has declined, the power contained in it has suddenly improved.

After devouring various materials collected by Chen Ming during this period, the power of this knife has been significantly improved. Even if you just hold it in your hand, you can feel a strong force pouring into your body.

.

This is the power of the magic weapon contained in the long sword. Compared with before, it has been upgraded to a higher level.

"No matter what, I finally got this knife."

Looking at the extremely cold-looking long knife in his hand, Chen Ming shook his head and sighed for a moment, then carefully put the long knife away.

On the side, several old blacksmiths sent by Chen Yu to assist looked at this scene blankly, with very strange expressions on their faces.

"Just laugh if you want."

Chen Ming waved his hand and said with some helplessness: "This is my first time blacksmithing, and I'm not good at my business. It's normal for me to be like this."

Ever since he visited Mingwei that day, he had obtained a smelting method from him.

That method is not complicated. For Chen Ming, it is just a matter of two clicks of source power.

But the subsequent hands-on operation gave him a big problem.

Mastery of the smelting method only gave him a deeper understanding of the power of divine weapons, but it did not make him a good blacksmith.

For this reason, he had to ask Chen Yu to invite several famous blacksmith masters in the area to assist him in casting weapons.

It is a pity that as a time traveler, Chen Ming has learned Chinese and English, passed the college entrance examination, read poetry and practiced martial arts, but he has never learned how to forge iron.

Even with the help of several masters, we still ended up with this result.

As for the knife he pulled out, it was okay to keep it with him at ordinary times. If he really took it out, he might kill the person before he was hacked to death.

Standing on the side and witnessing the whole process of Chen Ming forging soldiers, several masters also had red faces. They didn't know whether they were blushing for Chen Ming or couldn't help but want to laugh.

When they were invited by Chen Yu, these masters heard that they were forging weapons for the newly appointed Wu Zhuangyuan. They all rolled up their sleeves and looked like they wanted to fight.

But in the end, I didn't expect this result.

Of course, since he finally invited someone here, Chen Ming was not prepared to let them go in vain.

"Masters, can you forge a knife for me in the next few days?"

Looking at several blacksmiths dressed in different styles, Chen Ming said, "Of course, the price is easy to negotiate."

Finally we have a place to use it!

Several masters suddenly became excited and said quickly: "This is what it should be. The number one scholar is destined, so naturally we are willing."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Master and others."

Very satisfied with the attitudes of the masters, Chen Ming smiled and nodded, then hurriedly explained a few words, made his requirements clear, and left quickly.

There is a stove in this room, but it's really stuffy inside. It's better to leave as soon as possible.

After walking out of the room, Chen Ming saw a figure not long after walking.

Yang Shi stood alone outside the room, wearing a simple robe. It looked like he had been standing there for a long time.

Seeing Chen Ming walking out of the house, he seemed relieved, and then said: "Cousin!"

It's still the same title, but it seems a little more restrictive than before.

No wonder.

When I didn't know about it before, it was easy to say that everyone was of similar level and could get along with each other in a normal way. But after the truth was exposed, it became extremely difficult to get along with each other in a normal way.

When a person has the power to easily determine the life, death and future of another person, can you still treat him or her like ordinary people?

"cousin?"

When he saw Yang, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why did you come here suddenly? You didn't send anyone to say hello to me."

"Some things are easier to talk about in person."

Seeing that Chen Ming's attitude was as calm as ever, Yang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I am here to say goodbye to my cousin."

"Have you decided yet?"

Chen Ming was not too surprised by Yang Shi's sudden farewell, and just asked: "Where have you decided to go?"

"Go to the Imperial Mirror Division branch in Anzhou. As for the specific location, it has not been decided yet."

Yang Shiru said: "My uncle is looking for ways for me and hopes to transfer me to a better place."

"Mirror Master?"

Chen Ming frowned and said, "Cousin, have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it."

Yang Shi looked resolute and nodded: "I thought about this issue clearly before entering Beijing."

"I was not born very well, but I belong to a small family in the countryside. If it weren't for my uncle's support, I would never be able to practice martial arts in this life."

"I'm not like you, cousin. I'm very talented at a young age. As long as I practice hard, I will be able to soar into the sky in the future."

"For people like me, if they want to get ahead, they can only risk their lives to be born rich!"

He had a resolute face, and his face looked particularly determined at this moment.

"Why bother....."

Seeing him like this, Chen Ming sighed secretly, but did not say anything to persuade him. He just said calmly: "I will ask someone to bring a letter to Anzhou Mu later and ask him to take more care of you."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That would be great."

Yang Shi smiled: "With the reputation of the Number One Scholar, my life will be much easier in the future."

"There is no face."

Chen Ming shook his head, then looked at Yang Shi and said, "What should we do about Miss Liu's family?"

Speaking of this, Yang Shi clenched his fists and smiled bitterly: "She is the young lady of the Liu family, and she is the eldest daughter of the Liu family. She was engaged to the son of the Liu family a few years ago."

"I...can't do anything."

Hearing this, Chen Ming frowned, but still said: "Maybe there is still a chance?"

"There's no chance anymore."

Yang Shi smiled bitterly: "The old man of the Liu family is famous for being stubborn. Now that the engagement has been made, it is impossible to change it."

Chen Ming didn't speak anymore, just listened to Yang Shi's words quietly and remained silent.

"It's getting late."

After a while, Yang Shi smiled freely, looked at Chen Ming and cupped his hands: "It's time for me to leave."

"Next time you have free time, come to Anzhou and visit me. I'll be your host, cousin."

"good."

Chen Ming smiled, then nodded and watched Yang Shi leave.

Time passed slowly, and soon, Yang Shi's back disappeared from his sight, leaving not even a trace.

He stood there alone for a long time, finally shook his head, and finally went down to rest.

A few days later, when Chen Ming was about to board the motorcade leaving the Imperial Capital, his new sword had already been cast.

This is a long knife that is completely black, embroidered with little golden textures. At first glance, it looks very similar to the knife that Lu Qi once gave him.

In fact, Chen Ming deliberately made him look like this.

Although Lu Qi is gone, his influence on Chen Ming cannot be erased.

He couldn't really do anything but use this method to commemorate the other party.

Holding the brand new black gold long knife in your hand, a unique texture comes from your hand.

Compared with the black knife that he forged alone, the quality of this knife is much better. It can be regarded as one in the sky and one on the earth.

"how?"

Watching Chen Ming test the knife in front of him, an old bearded man touched his big beard and said with a proud look on Chen Ming's face: "This is made of rare gold and iron. It is the culmination of the skills of the seven of us.

It can be said to be a famous sword in the world."
