In the You Marquis residence, Zhou Shu leisurely woke up.
He held the Heavenly Mirror in his hand and injected a strand of spiritual essence into it.
‘The Heavenly Mirror that Shi Songtao had given him was really good. Although it was not as rich and colorful as the mobile phones in his previous life, it was still a good pastime to look at the armament manuals in his free time.
A light screen projected in the air.
With a thought, Zhou Shu flipped to the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Ranked first was still the Great Destroyer Sword.
No one would be able to change its ranking for the time being.
The Ranked Armament Manual was based on the weapons ‘ battle results. The Great Destroyer Sword had severed the arm of a first-rank martial artist.
How could other yellow-grade weapons achieve this?
Zhou Shu was also a little puzzled. He had clearly used the Great Destroyer Sword to kill Xiao Shunzhi, so why didn’t the Yellow-grade Armament Manual show it?
It wasn’t that it hadn’t been updated yet. He noticed the changes in the rankings of the weapons in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
It could only be said that Heavenly Mountain Villa was not omniscient. They didn’t know that he had killed Xiao Shunzhi.
This matter was actually a bit strange. Even if no one was present when he killed Xiao Shunzhi, Xiao Shunzhi’s corpse would definitely be discovered afterward.
But for some reason, Great Xia and Great Wei didn’t announce this matter.
Later on, Zhou Shu recalled the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber. He didn’t know who had picked up this saber and whether it had fallen into the hands of the Divine Constable Bureau.
‘These matters were not the main point. Zhou Shu’s gaze moved downward. In fifth place, he saw the name of the Songtao Sword.
Shi Songtao was quite capable.
It had to be known that the Yellow-grade Armament Manual contained all the weapons forged by all the Forging Masters in the world. As a newcomer, it was already very difficult for Shi Songtao to rank fifth with the Songtao Sword.
The Great Destroyer Sword?
How could the Songtao Sword compare to it?
Zhou Shu continued to read. Only when he reached eleventh place did he see the name of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
The Songtao Sword is ranked fifth, while the Seven Star Dragon Abyss is ranked eleventh? Zhou Shu was slightly unhappy.
He felt that the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword was very well made, but it only ranked eleventh. He was somewhat dissatisfied.
But then again, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword didn’t have any achievements yet. It seemed like it wasn’t bad to rank eleventh in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Any random weapon given in the Legendary Armament Canon would rank first. I spent half a day researching and only managed to forge a weapon ranked eleventh. The difference is still huge.
Ill try forging another one later. I don’t believe I can’t enter the top ten!
This was how rankings were. It made people very motivated.
Tagreed to forge a sword for Yin Wuyou on impulse. What sword should I forge for her?
Zhou Shu wanted to slap himself.
Why did I have to ask her if she wanted a sword?
Aren’t I just making more work for myself?
Who is Yin Wuyou?
She is the princess of Great Xia, the grand minister of the Forging Division!
If she isn’t satisfied with the ranked weapon I forge for her, wouldn’t that ruin my reputation?
He had been the strongest Forging Apprentice. Now that he had become a Forging Master, he couldn’t ruin his reputation. Every weapon had to be presentable.
I’ll first forge two Eight-Sided Han Swords to warm myself up and find inspiration.
On the Legendary Armament Canon, there were still a few standard weapons that were still not maxed.
Ever since he created the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, he no longer needed to fill up the slots to unlock new standard weapons.
But if he wanted the benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon, these standard weapons had to be maxed out.
Fortunately, for Zhou Shu, forging standard weapons was effortless. He could easily forge a couple to warm up.
Just as Zhou Shu finished forging an Eight-Sided Han Sword and was beginning to feel inspired, the steward suddenly whispered from outside, “Marquis, Her Highness has come…”
No way!
A Grand Craftsman only got thirty grams a month. He was given the same treatment as a Grand Craftsman. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
Zhou Shu was content.
Thirty grams of Heaven Refining Stone, if used sparingly, could almost be used to forge an ordinary yellow-grade weapon.
‘When Yin Wuyou saw that Zhou Shu didn’t say anything, she thought he was unhappy. After all, he was a second-rank marquis, yet she was only giving him the same treatment as a third-rank Grand Craftsman.
“Heaven Refining Stone is a strategic material. The Imperial Court strictly controls it. Even the Forging Division doesn’t have much of it,” Yin Wuyou explained.
“But His Majesty promised to compensate you in other areas.
“Last time, I told you that our Great Xia’s founding ancestor was also a forger.”
Yin Wuyou continued, “Back then, he collected quite a number of secret forging techniques and stored them in the imperial library. But the imperial family doesn’t have any forgers now, and those secret techniques are also hidden. His Majesty promised me to let you see those secret techniques.”
“Really?” Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up.
Previously, the information Yin Wuyou had brought over from the imperial library was mainly about the introduction of forging knowledge and the experiences of Forging Masters. It didn’t involve any specific weapon forging techniques.
If he could learn more forging techniques, his forging level would definitely increase.
Zhou Shu now knew that even if he had the Legendary Armament Canon, he still had to cultivate his own forging skills and broaden his horizons. Only then would his path be wider and more stable.
“Of course,” Yin Wuyou said. “And—”
“There’s more?” Zhou Shu was surprised. Is the emperor so generous?
I didn’t do anything. I just advanced to Forging Master, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword I forged was exchanged for half a street of shops. Why am I given such a generous reward?
When other Forging Masters advance, I’ve never heard of them receiving so many rewards.
Is it because I’m a genius?
“Hmm.” Yin Wuyou nodded heavily. “Since the oth Workshop already has its own name, it’s a little inappropriate for it to squeeze in with the other workshops.”
Although the first 36 workshops of the Forging Division were also called workshops, in reality, they could no longer be considered workshops.
In fact, the first 36 workshops were similar to the research institutes in his previous life. They were not all in the capital but were scattered all over Great Xia.
‘What they did were all high-end jobs. Although they took on forging tasks as well, these were usually taken care of by their apprentices to practice.
The oth Workshop now had the right to its own name, so it was obviously not appropriate for it to be together with ordinary workshops anymore.
One had to know that other named workshops were built in beautiful places with beautiful scenery.
“Tm getting a piece of land from His Majesty for the oth Workshop. By the way, what do you plan to name it?” Yin Wuyou asked.
“Huaxia Pavilion…” Zhou Shu muttered in a daze. Getting a piece of land?
He had just gotten half a street of shops, and he was going to get a piece of land?
“Yes, Huaxia Pavilion! I asked His Majesty for a piece of land for the Huaxia Pavilion to use. Don’t worry. All the construction costs will be undertaken by the Imperial Court. You just have to follow your heart and build the workshop.”
“Grand Minister, may I ask if that piece of land is bigger than the current oth Workshop? If it’s about the same size as the oth Workshop, then there’s no need to trouble yourself. The oth Workshop is pretty good now,” Zhou Shu said.
Back then, he had spent a lot of time and effort constructing the oth Workshop. He didn’t expect that he would move in less than a year.
According to his original design, the construction of the oth Workshop had yet to be completed.
“Is it big?” Yin Wuyou widened her beautiful eyes. “There’s no way to compare.”
She waved her hand, and Haitang, who had come with her, understood. She took out a map and spread it on the table.
“I’ve brought the map. You have to understand the terrain before you can decide how to build the Huaxia Pavilion. There will be people from the Ministry of Works coming over to help you draw the blueprint. In short, you can build whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about money. The Imperial
Court will take care of everything.”
Yin Wuyou waved her hand, and her slender fingers landed on a spot on the map.
“This place is a little far from the capital. It’s thirty miles away, but it’s still quite peaceful. The Country Protector Army’s camp is not too far away. There’s no problem with its safety,” Yin Wuyou said as she circled the map.
“Is this the Huaxia Pavilions territory?” Zhou Shu’s breathing quickened.
“Yeah, if you think you don’t have enough space, you can use this site. It belongs to me.” Yin Wuyou casually drew another circle, bigger than the previous one.
Zhou Shu didn’t hear what she said at all. Zhou Shu didn’t care why there was still a place for her beside the Huaxia Pavilion. Now, he only saw the place that belonged to the Huaxia Pavilion.
Indeed, there was no way to compare the current oth Workshop.
It wasn’t just huge.. It was a mountain!
