Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 66 Weapon Master
Half a month later,

Imperial City!

Xiao Yue looked down at the magnificent city appearing beneath the clouds, feeling somewhat dazed. Since her grandfather's passing and her departure at a young age, she had returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar city...

Then her gaze slowly shifted to the north of the capital, where a magnificent mountain, thousands of feet high, lay prostrate like a giant dragon, faintly exuding a unique and spiritual charm.

Yunlan Sect…

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but glance at the elegant woman in blue standing beside her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yun Yun asked softly, noticing that Xiao Yue seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Xiao Yue gently shook her head, her long, silver hair fluttering in the wind, giving off a cool and mysterious feeling, like a goddess in the snow, making people dare not approach her easily.

"It was just a recollection of some past events..."

Xiao Yue said calmly,
After all,

She slowly walked into that magnificent city. The strange buildings on both sides of the road were a blend of Chinese and Western styles, and there were hundreds of millions of people bustling about. It was not much different from the capital city in her memory.

"Have you been to Gama Empire before?"

Yun Yun asked curiously,
In her eyes, this woman who called herself 'Silver Moon' was always very mysterious, and she even suspected that the other party might come from the distant Central Plains.

Xiao Yue nodded and chuckled, "I lived here for a while."

Yunyun, being sensible, didn't ask any more questions.

She quietly accompanied him into the depths of the capital. The surrounding noise gradually faded away, replaced by tranquility. Xiao Yue seemed to be attracted by this tranquility, and her pace slowed down involuntarily.

This was once the Xiao residence.

However, more than a decade has passed, and the plaque has been replaced with the name of a newly rising noble family in the empire.

Noticing this, Yun Yun stopped disturbing her contemplation and quietly stayed by her side, observing the silver-haired girl's every subtle movement, trying to glean more secrets about her.

As time passed, Xiao Yue's mood seemed to gradually calm down. She turned to Yun Yun and said, "Let's go. Weren't you going to introduce me to a weapons master?"

Yun Yun smiled slightly and nodded.

The two continued on their way, crossing the streets and arriving at a bustling market.

With their temperament and appearance, they naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way, but no one dared to go up and cause trouble, because the mere wisp of Dou Huang's aura was enough to make people stop in their tracks.

Ignoring the stares from the crowd, Yun Yun led Xiao Yue through more than a dozen dizzying streets in the capital before finally stopping in front of a strange building in a secluded corner near the south of the city.

This is an old blacksmith shop.

The location was extremely remote. If it weren't for Yun Yun leading the way, Xiao Yue wouldn't have known that such a place existed in this vast and bustling capital.

The blacksmith shop's doors were tightly shut, and a rusty sign hung in front of the door, bearing the five large characters "Thunder Blacksmith Shop" in a flamboyant and elegant script.

A hint of doubt appeared in Xiao Yue's eyes.

Yun Yun explained softly, "The owner of this shop is a disciple of the renowned Divine Weapon Valley in the Northwest Continent. He is the most outstanding weapon master in the capital, but he has never liked to socialize, so he is usually very low-key."

“Every weapon he forges is a divine artifact, priceless. My Sea Heart Armor, which withstood the full force of the Purple Gold Lion King's attack, was made from here.”

Xiao Yue nodded.

She didn't care about the blacksmith's personality; as long as she could get a weapon that suited her, that was enough.

The two pushed open the door and entered the blacksmith's shop. The interior was pitch black, with only a roaring flame rising from the furnace, illuminating the surrounding walls.

In the corner, there were some oddly shaped ores and metals piled up, emitting a chilling aura.

"Sect Leader Yun, it's been a long time."

A deep, resonant voice came from the darkness.

As the sound faded,
A short, aged-looking dwarf emerged from the darkness. He wore tattered leather armor and carried a huge iron hammer. Despite his age, he looked incredibly fierce.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes.
She hadn't expected that this legendary weapon master was actually a dwarf, but thinking about it, it made sense. This vast world was full of races, such as snake people and barbarians, which, although not common in human cities, did exist.

Yun Yun smiled slightly, "Master Lei, it's been many years, but you still look as energetic as ever."

Master Lei waved his hand and laughed nonchalantly, "Sect Leader Yun, you flatter me. It's good enough that my old bones can still move! As for Sect Leader Yun, what rare treasures have you found this time? Quickly bring them out so that this old man can have a look!"

The old dwarf showed no interest in anything else; his next question was already to Yunyun, who was eagerly inquiring about the precious materials.

Yun Yun smiled slightly, but did not answer directly. Instead, she turned her gaze to Xiao Yue beside her.

Xiao Yue understood.

Take that item out of the spatial ring.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a spiraling horn, seven or eight zhang long, crashed to the ground with a loud bang. Clusters of purple flames still swirled and lingered on its surface, causing the temperature in the room to rise sharply!

Upon seeing this, the old dwarf's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly walked to the huge spiral horn and examined it carefully.

After a while,
He looked up, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is... the single horn on the head of a sixth-tier amethyst winged lion king?!" The dwarf elder stared in disbelief, taking a deep breath.

"Great stuff! Great stuff indeed!"

"The purple flame within this horn is incredibly pure, containing powerful fire-attribute energy. If combined with some exotic metals, it could definitely be forged into a divine weapon, unleashing astonishing power!"

A fanatical look flashed in the old dwarf's eyes as he stroked the single horn with almost obsessive fervor.

Saying,

The dwarf elder turned to look at Xiao Yue, a confident smile on his face: "Little girl, tell me your requirements. What kind of weapon do you want?"

"Hmm... spears, halberds, and daggers are all fine, as long as they are long weapons," Xiao Yue said after thinking for a moment.

She was familiar with all kinds of weapons, from swords and spears to halberds, but she felt that this spiral horn was more suitable for making long weapons, hence her statement.

"Alright, then collect it again in three years."

The old dwarf nodded and said.

"I have to wait three years?"

Xiao Yue was slightly taken aback, and frowned a little.

This is taking too long; she can't possibly stay here that long.

“Little girl, the saying goes that it takes ten years to hone a sword. The true way of weapon forging requires heart and soul! To be honest, I think three years is too short…” The old dwarf seemed to know what she was thinking and looked up to say seriously.
