Unaware of the thoughts going through Xuan Hao's head as he observed him, Gong Cheng didn't think too much about what both of them said as he made his way towards a large forge located at the edge of the capital city next to a natural heat source, while Xuan Hao and Yi Min quietly followed after him.

Even if there weren't any good spiritual metals around at the edge of the continent where the Blue Shore Kingdom was located, looking around as they made their way inside the relatively large forge, it became obvious that Gong Cheng still practiced his blacksmithing on an almost daily basis from the large number of artifacts and spiritual metal covering every inch of the space. novelbuddy.c(o)m

Although most of the artifacts present were at most in the Spirit Rank and would normally only be useful for someone in the Core Formation Realm, it was obvious that the strength of the artifacts forged by Gong Cheng far exceeded the limitations of their rank. Showing just how profound Gong Cheng's understanding of the Dao of Blacksmithing was, while also allowing both of them to understand that Gong Cheng was still fully intend on trying to break through to the Saint Realm even if his lifespan was about to run out.

Thinking about it for a bit as they looked at each other, Xuan Hao and Yi Min realized that the reason why he only wanted to teach them for a period of two months should be because he didn't want to waste any time on anything other than improving his blacksmithing.

In a sense, the reason why he had agreed to teach them in the first place, should be because of his past relationship with Pei Yang and the fact that he understood that it was Pei Yang asking him for a favor when it came to teaching both of them.

If not for the fact that they had come under Pei Yang's recommendation, it was doubtful whether or not he would agree to teach them.

After all, even if Xuan Hao was strong and felt confident in his own strength, giving him a certain level of leverage, he wasn't much stronger than Gong Cheng. Not to mention, there were another three Earth Immortal Realm cultivators in the capital city of the Blue Shore Kingdom outside of Gong Cheng himself.

Even if he had wanted to try and force Gong Cheng's hand with his strength, he doubted he would be able to succeed with his current strength. After all, there was also the mysterious ancient formation protecting the Blue Shore Kingdom that he had to think about. Although wasn't clear about the strength of this formation, he had feeling that it should at least have reached the Earth Immortal Realm if not beyond that…

"Hm?"

As they continued making their way towards the core area of the forge where the little spiritual metal of the Blue Shore Kingdom and the furnace itself was located, Xuan Hao suddenly noticed a particular artifact leaning on the side of a worn-down anvil.

Although the sword didn't look that special at first glance, the strength contained inside of it was far beyond the quality of the metal that made it up.

The sword itself was only at the Spirit Rank, but the power contained inside of it was more than strong enough to threaten someone in the Domain Lord Realm and even seemed to be close to reaching a level that could threaten someone in the Soul Ascension Realm. Putting it at the same level as Peak Mystic Rank Artifact!

"This sword is…" Not able to contain his curiosity after seeing such a weird sword that had managed to skip two ranks, Xuan Hao could not help curiously turning towards Gong Cheng with a questioning look on his face.

"Oh? You noticed that sword? Hehe, it's indeed a little special compared to the rest, but it's only useful for someone in the Domain Lord Realm and below… To be honest, I tried to turn it into a Transcendent Rank Sword back when I forged it but ended up falling short by a bit. The sword is nothing more than a failure that can at most be considered Half a step into the Transcendent Rank. Not quite at the Transcendent Rank, but also a bit stronger than a normal Mystic Rank artifact." Shaking his head as he said this, Gong Cheng thought about something for a moment before walking over to the sword before grabbing hold of it before throwing it over to Xuan Hao.

"You can have it if you want. Although it is a failure in my eyes, the engravings I made in it is still useful for comprehending the Dao of Blacksmithing. At least it should make it a bit easier to reach the Elementary Realm in the Dao of Blacksmithing." Saying this, Gong Cheng turned around and continued making his way inside the forge under the shocked eyes of Xuan Hao and Yi Min.

Something that could help assist someone reach the Elementary Realm in the Dao of Blacksmithing could be considered a priceless treasure, yet… Gong Cheng had casually handed it over to Xuan Hao without a single care.

""…""

In the end, Xuan Hao and Yi Min decided not to say anything as they just silently followed Gong Cheng deeper inside the forge, Xuan Hao not forgetting to place the sword away inside one of his interspatial rings.

Even if it might not be useful to him for long as he planned to reach the Pseudo Saint Realm over the next two months, it would undoubtedly be useful for the blacksmiths back in the sect and might even help the Star Shattering Sect reach a new height in terms of blacksmithing.

After all, the sword was something that could be comprehended and researched by multiple people at a time and didn't require anyone teaching the ones trying to comprehend the Dao of Blacksmithing inside of it.

…

At the same time Xuan Hao and Yi Min were being escorted through the forge by Gong Cheng, the three Earth Immortal Realm cultivators who were staying in the capital of the Blue Shore Kingdom had gathered together to talk.

"I wonder who the two people Gong Cheng recently welcomed are…"

"Hm… From what I can tell, it doesn't look like they are planning to settle down and only here for a temporary period of time, they will likely leave again after getting what they came from."

"Indeed, but I'm quite interested in the man, he should also be in the Earth Immortal Realm like us. Although the feeling he gives me is quite strange. Almost threatening."

The object of their conversation just so happened to be Xuan Hao and Yi Min who had just arrived at the Blue Shore Kingdom, then again, considering the fact that both Xuan Hao and Yi Min were relatively strong, it made sense for them to come together and try to figure out why they had suddenly appeared and seemed to already know Gong Cheng.

After all, even if Yi Min wasn't strong enough for them to care, Xuan Hao wasn't like that… And as the third among them had just said, he gave off a feeling that was more powerful than a normal Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Forcing them to take the situation a bit more serious than the arrival of any normal Earth Immortal Realm Expert.

"Indeed, the guy is quite strange, I really hope it isn't something troublesome…" Shaking his head as he said this while the rest of the group had momentarily gone quiet, the first among the three who also happened to be the one behind their gathering, looked out in the direction of the forge where Xuan Hao, Yi Min and Gong Cheng were at the moment.

Even without saying anything, it was obvious to the other two that he was feeling nervous about what Xuan Hao and Yi Min might want from Gong Cheng. After all, given the remote location of the Blue Shore Kingdom and the fact that they were all enemies of the different major powers, there was only a few things people would go through the trouble to find someone like Gong Cheng… And it was preciously because of this that all of them were so nervous at the moment.

"Let's just observe the situation for now, as long as they don't end up involving the Blue Shore Kingdom in anything troublesome like the last time around, we shouldn't actively try and antagonize them."

As a few more minutes passed without anyone leaving the forge, one of the three Earth Immortals shook her head before getting up to leave.

Whoosh~

"Haaa…"

Following the first one leaving, the other two only glanced towards the forge for a short moment before one of them let out a sigh before similarly turning around to leave. "…"

In the end, the last of the Earth Immortals continued to stay for a few more minutes before following the other two to leave. Hoping that nothing troublesome or dangerous would come out of Xuan Hao and Yi Min's visit.
