Longevity Begins with the Master of Weapon Refining

“Bang, bang, bang.”

The small forging hammer flew in the hands of a tall, dark young man, and with every hammer strike, sparks could be seen.

His naked upper body was sweating profusely, and his sturdy muscles were reflected by the firelight and sweat, with smooth and clear lines, which made him even more eye-catching.

What a pity.

In this small blacksmith shop, few ladies could see this scene.

Swish——

The repeated forging patterns of the knife were quenched and showed their true appearance for the first time. The young man carefully corrected, proofread, and polished it in just one afternoon.

The silver-shining, sharp-edged sword was completed.

“It is famous for hundreds of forgings, and the patterns are like waves, so I call you the White Dragon Sword.”

But in the blink of an eye, the knife was like a flash in the pan, and it turned into ashes and dust after just a moment.

The young man was not surprised at all and was very calm.

The panel appeared in front of him.

…

Twenty years ago, Gu Qing was born on a rainy night, carrying wisdom with him into this world, born weak and sick.

He was abandoned by his biological parents when he was three months old, and was adopted by an old Taoist priest who had no children and was proficient in medicine.

Unfortunately, he died when he was six years old.

Before he was even a child, he was driven out of the palace by the Taoist temple on the pretext of "damaging the Taoist Canon". He had to beg for a living during the turbulent times, which were often accompanied by natural and man-made disasters.

He wandered around several prefectures, encountering countless difficulties and obstacles.

If it weren't for his wisdom, he would have become a fat man in the mouths of the mob, but he still wandered for six years.

When he was twelve years old, the blacksmith shop in Qishan County recruited apprentices.

Two meals were provided, but no wages.

Gu Qing used some despicable tricks to be successfully selected, doing odd jobs for two years and making fire for two years.

But in this day and age, it is impossible to get the true craft. The blacksmith's skills are not to be said to be superb, but they are enough to be passed down as the foundation of the family.

No matter how smart he is and how hardworking he is.

He still didn't get any teachings, and in addition to the congenital root of childhood, the body that the old Taoist priest had taken good care of for him was declining year by year due to wandering and overwork.

At a young age, his temples were already gray.

The turbulent times were not over yet. Gu Qing learned from his beggar friend that the bandits were coming to Qishan, and immediately thought that the government was about to arrest people.

After reminding the blacksmith's family, he hid in the dog hole kiln without hesitation.

When he came out after staying there for a month, the blacksmith shop had closed down. He heard from the clerk in the next shop that the whole family had been captured and sent to the military camp to make weapons.

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, sneaked into the yard behind the blacksmith shop, and successfully searched for a book on iron casting and some silver from the familiarity of living with the old Taoist priest in his childhood.

He used the vacant shop and some simple tools to start self-study.

When he made the first knife, the panel appeared.

The so-called weapon value can be converted into life span, each point is equivalent to one month of life span, and 12 points is one year of life span.

Life span represents the age he can live without illness and disaster, and the maximum is 120 years.

The first time he activated, his life span was only 28 years, and he suffered a serious loss and died soon.

When he first started casting, he only gained 0.1 or 0.2 every time, until he mastered the hundred-forging process, it was increased to 1 point.

At the age of sixteen, Gu Qing felt the taste of life for the first time. If it were not for the lack of materials, he would not have had any plans for the future.

A lot of things happened in the following four years.

The Qishan Xiang Army was defeated, the blacksmith's family died in the hands of the bandits, and the county changed hands.

Gu Qing joined the righteous army and forged weapons for the righteous army. He did not ask for anything in return but only forged swords and knives. He worked day and night, and the sound of iron forging could be heard all the time.

He "ate" five of ten swords, using reasonable fire consumption to accumulate foundation, slowly filling the loss of life, and his health gradually improved.

The next year, Fengming Mansion defeated the bandits with 10,000 elite soldiers, and the county changed hands again. At this time, Gu Qing had recovered his health and was almost the same as people of the same age, or even stronger.

The practical work he worked hard on weekdays made him trust the bandit leader long ago, and even when he was defeated, he did not forget to pull him along.

Gu Qing, whose personality had long been different, found an opportunity to poison the bandit leader, killed him with one knife, cut off his head and fled back to Qishan, and presented it to the commander of the Fengming Army.

He was very pleased and rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, and was granted the superior martial arts skill [Five Elements Beasts Skill]. He also took Gu Qing to continue to eliminate the bandit army in the surrounding areas.

In the third year, the chaos subsided, and Gu Qing, a military blacksmith, said goodbye and returned to Qishan County. At this time, he was a hundred years old, as strong as an ox, and had truly entered the first level of martial arts skills, and his iron casting technique was almost perfect.

He could also cast a hundred forged swords and weapons with his backhand.

In the fourth year, he registered an account with the Qishan Xinxiang Army and successfully inherited the blacksmith shop. He obtained iron ore through the military route, and had a close relationship with the Xinxiang Army due to the entanglement of interests, and began to focus on martial arts.

It was not far from breaking through the second level.

Looking at his first half of his life, he was completely a star of fate, and he was killed by nobles when he met them. This completely changed Gu Qing's character and way of dealing with the world.

Since the panel appeared, the opportunity came from heaven and began to change his fate.

The weapon points have no other function except to prolong life, and there is an upper limit to life, which is 120 years.

But his life span can be used to improve the upper limit of his skills, martial arts, and techniques.

It makes him extraordinary from ordinary.

Using life as the source, bringing forth new ideas.

Previously, he was trapped by his life span, and Gu Qing only felt relieved after increasing his life span to the limit of 120 years. Now he could deduce the skills he had mastered without worrying about exhaustion.

His thoughts were illusory.

Twenty years of life disappeared in an instant, and Gu Qing felt a sense of emptiness, and almost couldn't stand.

The iron casting technique on the panel became illusory, and when it reappeared, it had changed its name.

"Hundred Refining Technique?"

The next moment, a large amount of information poured into his mind, and the information on how to advance the iron casting technique to the Hundred Refining Technique was presented vividly.

Exquisite and amazing skills!

Unheard of and unseen.

Ironmaking is his foundation, so naturally he focuses on it. The new knowledge brought too much content and it is difficult to digest in a short time.

“Metal and Stone Instrument Dao?”

Gu Qing muttered to himself. His professional skills had changed a lot after his promotion, and even involved more mysterious content.

“The shape is called the instrument. It condenses the spirit of heaven and earth and casts the art of metal and stone instruments… The five-refining instrument embryo is still in its infancy.”

During this period, he made a lot of hundred-forged weapons.

The raw materials are basically exhausted, and it’s time to find a relationship to buy another batch.

The content of the Hundred Refining Technique is very comprehensive, and the interpretation of the content of the Metal and Stone Instrument Dao is perfect, both vertically and horizontally.
