Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen is Coming

Chapter 82: Qian Renxue Visits the Thatched Cottage (Together)
In fact, the iron shop created by the craftsmen is indeed simple and plain, without any unnecessary decorations or luxurious furnishings.

The walls of the iron shop are made of rough stones, and the gaps between the stones reveal a primitive beauty.

The roof is covered with thick thatch, giving it a simple yet solid feel.

Inside the blacksmith shop, apart from the necessary tools such as hammers, pliers, anvils, etc., the rest were some tools suitable for beginners that Blade exchanged at random from the store.

These tools may not look impressive, but their practicality goes without saying; each one seems to have been carefully selected, waiting to be polished and used.

Soon, Ren stood outside the iron shop with his arms folded, with no emotion on his face, just explaining to Zhu Zhuqing lightly.

"As a craftsman, striving for perfection is one aspect."

"Another point is to adapt to local conditions."

Blade continued, his eyes sweeping over every corner of the iron shop, examining his work.

"It's just like swordsmanship. A truly strong person, without a sword in hand, is better than having one."

“Even if a craftsman does not have good materials or a good environment, he can still use his hands to make the best products out of the materials he has.”

“It means turning waste into treasure.”

His voice was calm and powerful, making Zhu Zhuqing feel as if every word contained profound philosophy!
Then after Ren finished his last sentence, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed across his eyes. It was the emotion accumulated over the years, and also the memory of past glory.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the tools in the blacksmith shop, as if he was touching the comrades who had fought alongside him.

In the game of Honkai Impact 3, remember how Ying Xing, the predecessor of Blade, faced those who deliberately made things difficult for him in the Baiye Great Refinement of the entire Xianzhou that won the championship.

They contemptuously pushed a pile of defective products and waste in front of Ying Xing, trying to use this method to make this short-lived creature give up.

However, Ying Xing did not back down. There was no fear or anger in his eyes, only a determined light.

During that long transition between day and night, he sat alone in the corner of the blacksmith shop, hammering his hammer up and down, sparks flying, as if he was playing a song of iron and fire.

Finally, when the morning light illuminated the iron shop again, Ying Xing had actually created a mechanical lion. Each of its joints could rotate freely, and it was lifelike in its advance and retreat, as if it would roar and run at any time.

This is turning waste into treasure, Lord Baiye’s true ability!
After all, not everyone can become the head of a company and create miracles in adversity.

It was also that time that Ying Xing, a short-lived species, finally conquered the entire Immortal Boat with his wisdom and skills!

The shortness of life and the difficulties faced by others cannot make Ying Xing surrender.

On the contrary, these challenges are like whetstones, making him more dazzling and more powerful!
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing naturally knew some of the legends about her master. Her big eyes were sparkling as she followed Ren's figure closely. She listened attentively to every detail, fearing to miss any precious words.

At the same time, she nodded like a precise clock, with a firm and powerful rhythm, and she never stopped!

She wanted to clearly remember every word of her master in her mind! !
After all, in the past few days, Master Ren had taught her everything he knew, and every word he said was extremely precious. The amount of his teachings was almost as much as the total of the past few months.

This kind of treatment made Zhu Zhuqing excited and moved. She knew that this was her master's special care and expectations for her.

This special treatment also made Sister Lanyin, who had always been by the master's side and was regarded as Blade's right-hand man, envious.

Whenever night fell, when the two of them were talking in private, Blue Silver Emperor would always curiously ask Zhu Zhuqing: "What did the master say to you today?" That envy and curiosity made Zhu Zhuqing feel warm and a little proud.
"Yes! Master, I remember it. What should we build next?"

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't wait to walk forward, her little face filled with a desire to learn.

Hearing this, Ren came back to his senses from his thoughts. With his bandaged hand, he slowly pointed to the wood that had been prepared not far from the iron shop.

"From now on, you will make your own wooden sword for sword practice."

"So, let's start with the wooden sword."

"Next, I will show you how to make it."

"Learning to use strength properly will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her little head continuously!

"Yes, Master!!"

Blade paused, then continued:
"You have a lot of time these days. In addition to forging the wooden sword you trained on,

"Wait until the Blue Silver Emperor brings the materials, and you will need to forge a weapon for yourself that you can actually use in combat."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing instantly became excited!
Master Blade's artifact is the legendary Disintegration Sword. The power contained in it seems to be able to tear the void apart. If it is fired at full power, it can even surpass the limits of this world.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't even imagine whether she could forge a weapon that was even one thousandth of her master's.
But even so, her heart was still filled with excitement and pride.

Her little face was filled with irrepressible joy. After all, under the careful guidance of her master, she would have the opportunity to forge a sword of her own with her own hands.

This honor and opportunity are so precious and exciting to her.

Then, Zhu Zhuqing's chest rose and fell slightly. She took a deep breath and responded:

"I will never fail you, Master!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of hesitation quickly flashed in her eyes, and her tongue licked the corner of her lips lightly, as if looking for the right words.

"only."

"Master, I have a small request."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice suddenly became soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility around her.

When her fingertips lightly touched her, her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. The anticipation and embarrassment intertwined together made her look even more adorable.

Upon hearing this, Ren looked at Zhu Zhuqing calmly with a sharp gaze. His brows slightly furrowed, his expression somewhat confused, and he said coldly:
"Just say what you have to say."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, like a student being called by the teacher. She avoided his gaze and said in a somewhat coy tone:

"Well, Master, I want to..." Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and was about to disappear into the air, but she still mustered up the courage and continued:

"Master, can you make another sword for me? Master, you don't have to spend too much effort. I just want to keep the sword you made for me as a treasure."

When she said this, there was a hint of sadness in her voice and her eyes were slightly red.

"After all, the previous sword had been broken by the traitor, but..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice gradually became low. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that her master would see the guilt and loss in her eyes.

To her, the sword is not just a weapon, but also carries her master's expectations and care for her, as well as her own original intention and dream.

Ren raised his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to take Zhu Zhuqing's request to heart.

His attitude remained calm; this kind of thing was just a piece of cake for him.

Soon, he just nodded lightly and uttered a low and magnetic "hmm" from the depths of his throat. Although it was brief, it was full of affirmative power.

It was this simple, unhesitating affirmation, like a spring breeze blowing across the ice, that instantly melted the anxiety and uneasiness in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

A bright smile broke out on the little girl's face, and the joy was as bright as the sunshine, illuminating her entire face.

Although she has a cold personality, at this moment her smile is like a blooming flower. The joy from the inside out makes her look more lively and lovely.

"I love Master the most!!"

And on the other side,
The Blue Silver Emperor who completed the mission,

After a day and night of hard collecting, her efforts have paid off with fruitful results.

She stored the ring with the highest quality metal materials the world could offer. Each piece shone with an alluring luster, revealing their extraordinary value.

It can be said that we have returned with a full load.

Moreover, this collection trip not only allowed her to obtain the materials she needed, but also allowed her to unexpectedly meet an "old" friend - Xue Qinghe.

At that time, when the Blue Silver Emperor was bidding for those hard-to-find metals at the auction, the eldest prince of the Tiandou Empire had fought fiercely with her. The scene was tense and fierce, and the two bid like a chess match, with each other's bids going back and forth, and neither was better.

Blue Silver Emperor would not give up this auction item easily. She knew that this was a task assigned to her by the Master Blade, and she volunteered to do it! The weight of this task was beyond words.

Besides, she is not short of money.

Not only does her master Ren possess countless wealth, but she herself has not just wasted her time following Ren over the years.

Her omnipotence was fully demonstrated in the process of completing tasks, and the wealth she had accumulated had already reached a staggering level.

Her wealth is like proof of her ability; any little bit of it is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

Later, Xue Qinghe, who stayed here, originally just planned to take some random photos of items here as a pastime.

However, during the bidding process with Blue Silver Emperor, she gradually lost her patience, and the anger in her heart was like ignited gunpowder, ready to explode at any time.

She directly sent a confidant to investigate who was secretly competing with her and who dared to compete with her at the auction.

When the confidant came back with the report and revealed the identity of the opposing bidder, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

It turned out that the uninvited guest who was bidding against her was actually the woman next to Blade who had given her an inexplicable smile in the cafe before - Blue Silver Emperor!

Xue Qinghe's heart moved. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet them again so that she could propose to recruit them.

Unexpectedly, this time the opportunity came to me.

She immediately gave an order to send a message to the Blue Silver Emperor, stating her identity as a prince, and made a generous decision - to give the items in the auction to the Blue Silver Emperor!
Xue Qinghe also specially asked someone to convey her apologies, saying that she had not known that the person who wanted to take a picture of the metal was the Blue Silver Emperor.

Her attitude was sincere, and her words revealed her respect for Blue Silver Emperor and her regret for this misunderstanding. She knew that such an action might increase the chances of success for her recruitment plan.

How could Lan Yinhuang say anything? Knowing the plan, she naturally would not make enemies with Xue Qinghe, a potential colleague, at this critical moment. At that time, she just nodded gracefully and exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Xue Qinghe, maintaining a polite and appropriate distance.

Xue Qinghe was already full of curiosity about the mystery of the blade and the Blue Silver Emperor, and once he started talking, it was like a flood that could not be stopped.

She asked questions one after another, showing great interest in Blue Silver Emperor's collection mission.

Finally, when Xue Qinghe learned that Blue Silver Emperor was collecting specific materials, she immediately expressed her desire to send Blue Silver Emperor some more things he needed, in order to express her apology for raising the price before and causing the metal to be auctioned at a premium. Her attitude was sincere, and her eyes showed a sincere apology.

Lan Yinhuang naturally did not reject Xue Qinghe's kindness. Moreover, this was Xue Qinghe's second time showing generosity.

The first time was during an accidental encounter, Xue Qinghe took the initiative to pay for the coffee, and this time, not only did she give the metal that she had bought at a high price to Lan Yinhuang for free, she even saved Lan Yinhuang's time by giving her the materials that she had not yet collected.

Blue Silver Emperor knew in his heart that such a move would undoubtedly establish a delicate relationship between the two parties and lay the foundation for future cooperation.

Of course, the Blue Silver Emperor adhered to the principle of reciprocity, and also considered that this person had a similar nature to Zhu Zhuqing. After consulting Blade through some means, she directly invited Xue Qinghe to come to the small thatched cottage where she and her master Blade lived to sit down and have a chat.

After hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression instantly brightened up.

Although she usually maintained a calm and sophisticated look, at this moment, her inner anticipation and excitement were difficult to conceal.

At that time, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sincere smile. The joy was like a child getting a toy he had longed for, which could not be described in words.

After all, the wait these few days was like torture. If she didn't have the chance to meet Ren again, she would have to return to Tiandou City as planned.

The anxiety and expectation in her heart intertwined into an airtight web, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Do I have to wait another year? ! !
Finally, she met Blue Silver Emperor by chance. The opportunity had come! She learned that Blade was in an inconspicuous little village, hidden in a simple thatched house. This news was like an oasis in the desert, giving her hope instantly.

Now she finally found a suitable opportunity to get to know better this Blade, about whom she had been investigating for a year but had not found any clues!
She will definitely not let it go!
She couldn't wait and immediately gave orders, and asked Blue Silver Emperor to sit in her motorcade and rush to Blade's hiding place. The motorcade was so large and of such high standards that it was a rare sight in the entire Tiandou City! !
Moreover, the Titled Douluo personally escorts and leads the team!

The convoy shuttled through the fields and rushed towards the small thatched house. Xue Qinghe's heartbeat accelerated with the bumps of the carriage. She knew that she might reveal countless secrets hidden behind the blade!

It was all because of this person that she, the Young Master of the Spirit Hall and the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, had spent countless hours and efforts to investigate in vain!
She really doesn't believe in evil!
