Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

On the smelting platform of the Luofu Craftsmanship Bureau, Mozi watched Cheng Xiao's skillful techniques and fell into deep thought.

Is this kid really only been involved in blacksmithing for fifty years?

For Mozi, Cheng Xiao's learning speed was simply too fast; in other words, he was a genius!

If Cheng Xiao's skill level is average, that's fine, but the key point is that Cheng Xiao's forging skill level has reached the master level!

However, it becomes easier to understand if you put yourself in Cheng Xiao's perspective.

Firstly, the mentality of those who live a short lifespan is that fifty years is more than half a lifetime for them.

Even a short-lived species without talent can become highly proficient by spending most of its life learning a single skill.

Moreover, Cheng Xiao has exceptional talent; over fifty years, he has already made smelting skills second nature.

It's just that it seems even more exaggerated to the people of the Immortal Ship.

You should know that some people spend two or three hundred years and are still just apprentices, but Cheng Xiao became a master in just fifty years!

Moreover, Cheng Xiao is seen by others as a long-lived immortal being, with a long lifespan and outstanding talent, Cheng Xiao's future is definitely immeasurable!

Mozi was very satisfied with Cheng Xiao. He didn't have many students, but Cheng Xiao was indeed the most outstanding one.

However, Mozi could tell that Cheng Xiao was not wholeheartedly devoted to the art of forging; his knowledge was quite diverse, and it seemed that his ambitions lay elsewhere.

But so what?

His craft has already found a successor, and that's enough.

Once he had taught his youngest apprentice to a high level, Mozi planned to retire and enjoy his old age.

The youngest apprentice's surname was Gongshu and his given name was Yu.

"Master Mozi! How is the condition of this iron ingot?"

Cheng Xiao melted down the damaged weapons into molten iron, and then solidified it into the embryo of a new weapon.

Mozi observed it for a while and found that the iron blank had very beautiful patterns and colors, and the blank itself had no cracks, making it perfect.

In this way, with just a little processing, a new weapon can be created!

"Very good! I have nothing more to teach you; you've completed your apprenticeship!"

"Thank you, Master Xie!"

"Hahaha! I should be thanking you! Being your mentor is an experience I've never had before! If you become famous in the future, I'll definitely benefit from it!"

"If you still remember this blacksmith from back then, I won't ask anything of you, just bring me a bottle of good wine!"

Cheng Xiao touched his nose and assured him:

"Of course! When I have the chance to travel beyond the celestial ship, I'll definitely bring back some otherworldly wines!"

"It's good that you meant well."

Afterwards, Cheng Xiao bid farewell to Master Mo Di, and many craftsmen and apprentices also greeted Cheng Xiao.

Over the past fifty years, Cheng Xiao has gotten to know the vast majority of people in the Bureau of Works and Equipment. Coupled with Cheng Xiao's sunny personality, everyone has a great fondness for him.

Besides, Cheng Xiao is a genius!

Such a genius among family members is rare, and many people would privately seek advice from Cheng Xiao.

Throughout the entire workshop, Cheng Xiao could be considered a mentor to the craftsmen.

Carrying the precious sword "Broken Light," Cheng Xiao reminisced about his experiences over the past fifty years.

For the first time, Jingliu no longer relied on Chengxiao to accompany him in the army, but instead put aside his weakness and led the army to fight alone.

He used to come back every day to be with Chengxiao, but now he only comes back once a week.

But as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Every time Jingliu returned, he would let out all the longing he had accumulated, and he would even keep an eye on Chengxiao while eating.

Perhaps Cheng Xiao himself didn't realize it, but in the eyes of his other friends, Jing Liu Xiao Wei's desire for control was getting stronger and stronger.

In these fifty years, Jingliu has indeed surpassed its predecessors.

Not long ago, he went to the Jade Palace Immortal Ship and defeated his master Yao Feng head-on.

Keep in mind that Jingliu is not even three hundred years old yet!

With such talent, if they grow to their full potential, they will become the top combat force of the Immortal Ship.

Yao Feng was not disappointed by this, as her apprentice surpassing her was something she had expected.

She just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Yao Feng was mostly pleased, because the stronger his disciple's talent, the more secure the future of the Immortal Ship would be.

Unfortunately, Yao Feng is currently unable to leave the Jade Palace Immortal Ship.

The reason for this is that Yao Feng's fate is complicated. He was destined to die but escaped death. Now, Yao Feng's fate is unpredictable.

Yao Feng's existence at this moment is a mockery of predetermined fate, and it is also the goal that all diviners want to achieve.

No one can predict whether Yao Feng's fate will turn into a dead end again, so it would be best for Yao Feng to stay in the Jade Palace until the situation facing the Immortal Ship improves before leaving.

After defeating his master, Jingliu didn't express any sentiments. He simply took out the wine that Chengxiao had brewed himself and handed it to Yaofeng.

Yao Feng drank it down without hesitation and exclaimed:

"My dear apprentice's cooking skills are getting better and better. I really envy you being able to drink it every day!"

Seeing his master still joking around, Jingliu snatched the wine jug back with displeasure:

"So what? Wine is just something to express feelings. If you want to drink, I'll bring more!"

Yao Feng didn't say anything, but secretly whispered in Jing Liu's ear:

"My good disciple, how far have things progressed between you and that brat Cheng Xiao? Have you made it to base yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jingliu immediately realized what Yaofeng meant, and his face instantly turned red!

"You...you bastard master!!!"

Thus, a scene unfolded on the training ground where a disciple chased after his master with a sword.

......

Cheng Xiao mentally summarized the abilities he had just learned.

Forging, medicine, the Ten Kings' Talismans, and piloting star rafts.

Many of the events that occurred cannot be easily explained; at least Cheng Xiao is now a well-known figure in Luofu.

Many people also know about the relationship between Jingliu and Chengxiao, as well as their identities as disciples of the Sword Master.

Jingliu is now a highly renowned swordsman in Luofu, and currently no one in the entire Cloud Cavalry can surpass him!

If it weren't for the fact that the current Sword Master Yao Feng hadn't retired yet, Jing Liu would have immediately taken over.

Back home, Cheng Xiao took out the vegetables he had just bought, then took down the sword and hung the scabbard on the wall.

[Broken Light] flew out automatically and followed Cheng Xiao into the kitchen.

Then [Po Guang] cut the various vegetables into sections, while Cheng Xiao simmered soup and cooked the bones on the side.

Today is the day Jingliu returns home, and Chengxiao specially made a bone broth for Jingliu to nourish himself.

Cheng Xiao tasted the saltiness of the soup with a spoon, while Bao Jian, standing to the side, was already showing off his acrobatic skills!

"The radish is sliced ​​too thin! It will easily fall apart when cooked!"

Cheng Xiao lightly patted [Broken Light], as if scolding a naughty child.

[Broken Light] hummed a few times and then whooshed back into its scabbard.

Then it quietly unsheathed itself slightly, as if spying on Cheng Xiao's reaction.

Cheng Xiao naturally didn't react; he simply poured the chopped vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them.

[Broken Light] Seeing that Cheng Xiao showed no signs of life, it quickly flew out of its sword sheath and began to chop vegetables, but this time it was chopped according to Cheng Xiao's instructions.

The soup still needed a little time to simmer, but the courtyard gate had already been opened.
