Chapter 729 The Night Emperor’s Request
In the Royal Weapon Refining Workshop, the fire was blazing, the colorful arrays of light reflected each other, and the crisp sound of the collision of iron tools echoed in the spacious building for a long time.
Gong Yu's remnant soul floated quietly in the air, watching Xiao Wanjun and the practitioners she led forge a new body for him.
As a once-famous weapon-refining master in the Lingxiao world, Gong Yu spoke from time to time to give pointers to the monks present and make suggestions for improvements to the weapons they forged.
"It's inappropriate for you to use Stygian Iron here. Although Stygian Iron is hard in texture, its nature is too strong and difficult to blend with the monk's true energy. If you replace it with black crystal stone, it can not only withstand high temperatures, but is also more suitable for guiding the true energy, so that Magical weapons are more convenient in battle..."
"The temperature of this furnace is too high. Although it can speed up the molding of materials, it will damage the spirituality of the artifact and make it difficult to store true energy for a long time. Lowering the temperature by 30% and extending the training time may have better effects..."
"The lines of your formation are drawn too densely, which will cause a stagnant feeling when the true energy flows. It may affect the feel of the magic weapon after it is refined..."
"..."
Xiao Wanjun listened thoughtfully to his words.
Although she has no talent for cultivation, she has read a lot of books in the past and has considerable insights into the art of weapon refining. Recently, she has learned some Taoist methods of Mo Sect from Gu Xu. Compared with ordinary weapon refiners, her theoretical level is Maybe even better.
However, today, after listening to Gong Yu's guidance, she realized that she was still just a beginner. On the way to refining weapons, there are still many doors waiting for her to explore, and there are countless details that she needs to pay attention to.
"I heard that His Majesty's natal magic weapon was refined with the help of Master Gong." She thought silently to herself.
At this moment, Gong Yu seemed to suddenly notice something. He turned to look at Xiao Wanjun and asked, "Master Xiao, has anyone ever told you that you are a person with great luck?"
If such words were spoken in other dynasties, coupled with Xiao Wanjun's identity as a survivor of the previous dynasty, they would probably appear extremely sensitive, and would even make everyone present feel nervous and break out in a cold sweat.
However, in the Royal Artifact Refining Workshop, everyone was still focused on the work at hand, as if they didn't hear anything at all.
Xiao Wanjun himself said frankly: "Your Majesty also mentioned this matter to me."
"Is it because your family used luck-stealing techniques when you were born?" Gong Yu continued.
Xiao Wanjun nodded slightly and said: "They originally hoped that I would become the next master of the 'Tai'a Sword' and inherit the throne of the Daqi Dynasty. But unexpectedly, I had no talent for cultivation after I was born, which disappointed them greatly. , I feel that the ceremony has failed.”
"That's because their research on the way of luck is not thorough enough," Gong Yu said slowly, "The ceremony actually did not fail. The luck in your body is indeed genuine. However, this luck is more of a auxiliary and cannot be used in any way. It affects you directly, but you need to help others achieve great things.”
After listening to Gong Yu's words, Xiao Wanjun couldn't help but think of the dream her mother had when she was pregnant with her - in the dream, a golden dragon hovered outside the door and window of her home, then turned into a phoenix spreading its wings and flying in the air, and finally turned into a simple sword. The sheath slowly fell in front of her mother.
Could it be that the meaning of this scabbard is a hint that she will now assist His Majesty, help him establish immortal achievements and achieve great achievements for the ages?
"This is indeed what I am doing now," Xiao Wanjun smiled faintly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if the warm spring sun filled the house, bringing a warm breeze, "Your Majesty has shown me the kindness to help him. Creating a prosperous world is my honor and something I am willing to do.”
When she said this, her brows were filled with a clear sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, as if she was immersed in the process of assisting His Majesty in governing the country. When she witnessed Daxia's step-by-step prosperity, her heart was also filled with deep joy and joy. pride.
"That's not what I'm referring to," Gong Yu corrected, "Mr. Xiao, you may not know that if your Majesty wants to reach the ninth realm, he must gather the destiny of the whole country into one, including your own destiny.
He paused, paying attention to the expression on Xiao Wanjun's face, and continued: "This may be a bit offensive, but I must tell you that there is only one way to pass on the power in you to him." Then It is the method of dual cultivation that combines yin and yang. ”
In fact, Gong Yu felt very confused when he saw Xiao Wanjun.
With his cultivation level, he could naturally detect from her aura that she was still intact and her Yuan Yin was not broken.
Logically speaking, given the emperor's past temperament, if there was such a beautiful woman by his side who was full of respect for him, she would already be his.
However, the current emperor always abides by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers towards Xiao Wanjun and never does anything out of line.
"Did the emperor's temperament change drastically during these years in the wilderness, and he became unfeminine and devoted himself to cultivation just for revenge?" Gong Yu couldn't help but speculate.
When Xiao Wanjun heard the "Dual Cultivation Method", he was slightly startled, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene when he was held in Gu Xu's arms on the day he controlled a metal puppet for the first time.
A faint blush suddenly appeared on her face, like the sunset on the horizon at dusk.
"I have admired Your Majesty for a long time," she lowered her head and said with a complicated expression. "Being able to serve Your Majesty in the palace and be by his side is also a deep wish in my heart.
"It's just that I'm just a mortal, and I may not be able to catch his eye at all..."
Gong Yu used to focus on studying the art of weapon refining, and had few opportunities to interact with women.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Wanjun reveal his heart, his voice trembling slightly, with a bit of shyness and anxiety, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Finally, he sighed and said seriously: "If I have a chance, I will tell the emperor about this. If a good girl like you rejects you, it means he has no vision."
…………
One night a few days later.
In Changchun Garden, the night is as dark as ink, and the cool breeze gently blows on the lake surface, causing ripples.
After Gu Xu finished handling the state affairs for the day, he walked out of the imperial study and prepared to return to the palace to rest.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the study room threshold, he saw a figure standing in front of him.
"Your Majesty the Night Emperor?" Gu Xu frowned slightly, wondering why the Night Emperor suddenly came to the door without saying a word.
The graceful figure of the Night Emperor stood in the wind, his black clothes rustling and blending into the night. Only his golden eyes were shining brightly, as if they had penetrated the depth of the night.
"I need your help with something," she pondered for a long time before speaking slowly. At the same time, she held Gu Xu's hand and stuffed a cold storage ring into his palm, "This is your reward."
