Chapter 500: Chapter 500 - ounting the Gains, the Legendary

He might as well have more forging materials. Not only were the weapons he forged himself better than these weapons, but they could also give him rewards. Wasn’t it better than ready-made weapons?

“Because time was tight, and our Cosmic Bangles were limited, we only brought back about 350,000 kilograms of forging materials,” Li Chengliang said.

“Pavilion Master, although it’s only 350,000 kilograms, we picked rare and precious materials. In terms of value alone, these 350,000 kilograms of forging materials are more valuable than the five million kilograms of forging materials we brought from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space!” Shi Songtao added.

The value of these forging materials was worlds apart. Things that could enter the eyes of the Demon Queen Tushan were not ordinary items.

Although Tushan might not know how to forge weapons, she could still distinguish the basic value.

Tushan was different from the other Demon Kings in the Demon Realm. She had an interest in the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, unlike other demonic beasts. It was also very thought-provoking for a Demon King to collect so many forging materials.

But it was a pity that the good things in her collection of thousands of years had been swept away by Zhou Shu and the others, and another batch had been devoured by the Longevity Sword. She had suffered heavy losses. At least, she had wasted hundreds of years.

Zhou Shu looked at the forging materials that filled half the cave and was overjoyed.

“Take these heaven and earth-grade weapons to General Meng and the others. Find the right people to distribute them to. Leave none behind,” Zhou Shu instructed.

“Pavilion Master,” Shi Songtao said, “these weapons belong to our Huaxia Pavilion. Are we going to split them like this?”

Shi Songtao meant, was there no need to pay?

“Deputy Pavilion Master, look at the big picture,” Zhou Shu said. “We’re behind enemy lines now. If the strength of the soldiers increases, we’ll be safer.

“Weapons are meant to be used. Are they supposed to be left in the storeroom to collect dust?

“Of course, these weapons can’t be given for free. No one will cherish something given for free. How about this? Let the people who get a weapon write a debt slip.”

Even the rich Mi Ziwen didn’t have much money on him now. It was unrealistic to make them buy the weapons.

But then again, as long as the soldiers could return to the Ten Nations Continent alive, the military merit rewards would definitely not be small. They were still capable of paying off the debt of weapons.

Shi Songtao mumbled, “That will have to do for now.”

“Everyone has worked hard. Don’t take these weapons.” Zhou Shu looked at Mi Ziwen, Sun Gongping, Wang Xin, Chen Ji, Yin Chengshan, and the others. “I’ll help you upgrade the weapons in your hands later. They won’t be inferior to these weapons.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Everyone was delighted.

Suddenly, Zhou Shu’s expression changed slightly. “Deputy Pavilion Master, Grand Craftsman Li, continue to organize these forging materials. Everyone else, go and do your own things.”

With that, Zhou Shu turned around and entered his forging room.

Closing the door, he looked pleasantly surprised.

Just now, he sensed that the upgrade of the Legendary Armament Canon had been completed!

With a thought, a book that only he could see appeared in front of him.

The cover of the book turned a pure golden color. Although it was golden, it didn’t look tacky. Instead, it looked exquisite.

The words on the cover didn’t change much.

Legendary Armament Canon!

With a thought, the Legendary Armament Canon slowly opened.

Rustle!

The pages flipped before Zhou Shu’s eyes, and his expression flickered.

A moment later, the Legendary Armament Canon closed again and transformed into starlight that flew into Zhou Shu’s glabella.

Are standard weapons and acquired weapons no longer worthy of entering the Legendary Armament Canon?

After the Legendary Armament Canon upgraded, Zhou Shu realized that all the weapons recorded in it had changed.

The Huben Saber, Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber, Horse Slaying Saber, Spring Embroidered Saber, Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, Eight-Sided Han Sword…

These standard weapons that had made Zhou Shu famous back then were still in the Legendary Armament Canon, but they were no longer standard weapons!

The forging method of the connate divine weapon appeared in Zhou Shu’s mind!

In other words, the Huben Saber recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon was now the connate divine weapon Huben Saber and not the standard weapon that had been neutered!

It was the same name, and even the appearance was similar, but on the inside, it was worlds apart!

The Legendary Armament Canon… The current Legendary Armament Canon is worthy of its name.

Only connate divine weapons are worthy of being called legendary.

I wonder if this connate Huben Saber has a kill reward or if the first hundred I forge will have a kill reward like before.

Zhou Shu pondered.

Although the Legendary Armament Canon being upgraded was a good thing, it also meant that Zhou Shu had to start anew.

The weapons he had originally forged would probably not be able to give him any more kill rewards.

A connate weapon was known as a divine weapon. An acquired is just a weapon.

Zhou Shu’s eyes gradually lit up.?The Legendary Armament Canon is the Legendary Armament Canon after all. The forging methods it gives me are simpler and more operational than the forging methods I developed myself.

This will certainly improve my success rate in forging connate divine weapons.

But connate divine weapons are quite expensive to forge. When I recruit workers in the future, the cost will be high.

Fortunately, the Huaxia Pavilion doesn’t lack forging materials now.

I should stop thinking about these useless things. Let me try forging the connate Huben Saber.

Zhou Shu immediately called Li Chengliang and the other Grand Craftsmen into the forging room and called Shi Songtao to carry the forging materials.

The sound of flames burning quickly filled the forging room.

Li Chengliang and the other Grand Craftsmen helped Zhou Shu melt the forging materials like apprentices.

Seeing Zhou Shu begin to draw star paths out of thin air, Li Chengliang’s and the others’ eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

After looking forward to it for so long, they finally saw with their own eyes how Zhou Shu forged a connate weapon.

But it was useless to see it. They couldn’t do it.

Although they knew that they couldn’t do it, Li Chengliang and the others still didn’t dare to blink as they stared at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu was forging a connate weapon. It was already a blessing in disguise to be able to see the process.

Even if they could not do it now, they had to remember Zhou Shu’s forging technique. What if they could do it one day?

Under the gaze of the Grand Craftsmen, Zhou Shu’s movements were as smooth as flowing water. The shape of a saber gradually appeared between his hands.

“Everyone, does this saber look familiar to you?” Li Chengliang glanced at the Grand Craftsmen beside him.

“It does look familiar.” The Grand Craftsmen nodded.

“Isn’t that the Huben Saber?” A Grand Craftsman looked surprised.

They had long learned the secret forging formula of the Huben Saber from the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that the weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand was the Huben Saber.

“The Huben Saber is just a name. Just because they look alike doesn’t mean they’re the same weapon,” Li Chengliang whispered.

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion sounded in the sky. Spiritual energy rolled in the air. Li Chengliang and the others even felt a seven-colored light scatter from the saber in Zhou Shu’s hands.

“Did you see that? This is a proper connate weapon!” Li Chengliang said excitedly. “I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to participate in the forging of a connate weapon in this lifetime!”

All the Grand Craftsmen rolled their eyes. He said it as if none of the others had participated. They had only helped to smelt some forging materials? Was this considered participating?

In the past, Forging Apprentices in the workshop who were in charge of assisting were doing such work…

The Grand Craftsmen looked at each other tacitly.?Yes, of course, we participated in the forging!
