Complete Martial Arts Attributes Chapter 1636

1636 Clara’s Gratitude! Forging the Luck Tear! (2)
Clara went through a few more thank rounds and left in a hurry; she seemed to have some matters to attend to.
The governor’s daughter glanced at Lin Chuhan. Her gaze turned strange when she remembered what her friend said. There was no reason for her to stay so she left with her friend.
“Why do I feel like the gaze Zhuang Caixuan gave me was a bit strange?” said the hero’s fiancée, furrowing her brow.
“Really? I didn’t feel anything,” Wang Teng said, apparently surprised.
“Women’s intuition,” Lin Chuhan said, “but it shouldn’t be an issue. It’s not like she would do anything to me.”
“Of course, unless she doesn’t care about the welfare of her family.” The hero smiled.
He still had this belief. A mere Zhuang family wouldn’t dare to offend an earl of the empire.
Zhuang Weize’s performance proved that he wouldn’t dare overstep his bounds.
Lin Chuhan glanced around and asked, “Are we going back now?”
“Nope, there’s still one more thing to do. Follow me.” He smiled and led the way.
They walked past the alchemy rooms and reached the smithing area. Both sections were right next to each other, but they were segregated to facilitate distinction.
The hero found the room reserved under his name and opened the door using his identity account. He ushered Lin Chuhan inside.
“Are you going to forge something?” she asked curiously.
“Yes. Have you forgotten about the Luck Tear I bought yesterday?” the hero replied with a smile.
Lin Chuhan nodded in deep thought. “What are you going to make?”
“You’ll know in a while,” he said mysteriously.
“Why are you being so secretive?” The young woman pouted. However, she didn’t probe further; maintaining a sense of anticipation wasn’t bad.
She felt that watching him work on alchemy or forging was fascinating.
Someone knocked on the door while they talked.
The hero opened the door. It was the middle-aged man who greeted him the previous time. “Grandmaster Wang, here are all the materials you requested.”
“Thank you.” Wang Teng took the box.
“You’re too polite. It’s an honor to serve you,” said the mature fellow in a hurry.
The latter took his leave right away, not daring to disturb the hero.
Wang Teng took the chance to release his spiritual power and collect all the attribute bubbles scattered in the room.
Smithing*50
Smithing*40
Smithing*70
…
He soon collected a fair amount of smithing attributes. There were 1260 points in total.
He only grabbed those dropped by grandmasters or above. The ones from ordinary blacksmiths were useless to him.
Raising attributes after reaching the grandmaster level was a tough matter.
Wang Teng didn’t want to waste his blank attributes so he just collected whenever he could find them. Hence, the process was slow.
Smithing knowledge of grandmaster level entered his mind and his mastery gradually increased.
He looked at his attributes board.
Blacksmith: 6840/10000 (Grandmaster)
The young hero’s eyes brightened. The attribute was much higher than before.
He had forged high-tier weapons like the Thousand Armaments Vessel in the past, but the process was arduous back then. It would be much easier if he were to attempt it again.
Considering his current expertise, he had even more confidence in forging the item he was planning to make.
He closed the door, then approached the smithing table and opened the box. There were several pieces of metal inside, mostly palm-sized and not particularly large.
The materials were quite small and delicate, as opposed to the ones needed for weapons; they would require several kilograms of metal ores.
Lin Chuhan leaned over to take a look.
Erm… I still can’t see anything.
Those materials were unknown to anyone who didn’t practice the craft; it was understandable she didn’t recognize them.
Wang Teng took out a gray stone and said, “This is a Luck Confining Stone (in Chinese, it’s called Bi Yun Stone)!”
“What?” Lin Chuhan was stunned. “Contraception Stone?” (In Chinese, contraception has the same pronunciation, which is Bi Yun.)
The hero was startled. He said quietly, “Yun, as in luck.”
“Hahaha…” Round Ball rolled around inside his head. “This is so funny.”
“Why are you laughing!” Wang Teng said.
“Why didn’t you say it clearly?” The young woman rolled her eyes, fuming a bit.
“Back to the main topic. This Luck Confining Stone can mask the Luck Tear’s aura so others can’t detect it,” he explained.
“I see.” She nodded, feeling enlightened. Then, she frowned and asked, “But then, wouldn’t the Luck Tear become useless?”
“That’s why we need another material called Luck Channeling Stone.” Wang Teng took out another ore with a purple glow and continued, “It’s this one. As the name implies, it can channel the fortune power emitted by the Luck Tear. As long as they come into contact, the owner will be gradually benefited by good luck.”
“You’re going all out.” She couldn’t help but marvel at his cautious and prudent approach. This not only ensured that the stone would remain a secret but also allowed it to function properly. Perhaps only a skilled blacksmith like Wang Teng possessed such abilities.
“All right, I’m about to start. You can watch from the side,” he said with a smile.
“Yes.” Lin Chuhan nodded.
Without further ado, he waved a hand and the materials rose to the air. The Emerald Glazed Flame emerged from his body, completely covering the different ores.
The materials quickly began to melt, thanks to the divine flame’s extreme temperature. All impurities were expelled.
It is necessary to acknowledge the great benefits of having divine flames. Regular flames would require a considerable amount of time to remove all impurities. Even after the job was done, some particles could still remain inside.
That was the disadvantage of using normal flames.
However, the young hero possessed multiple flames to choose from, so he didn’t have to worry. That was why the pills and weapons he made were superior.
Once the impurities were removed, he raised his left hand and summoned the nearby forging hammers, which started striking the ores with rhythmic clangs.
The six hammers hammered six different materials simultaneously.
Lin Chuhan was taken aback. The way he forged exceeded her imagination; it was completely unexpected.
Is it possible for a person to control six hammers at once?
She hadn’t witnessed other blacksmiths in action, but she was well aware it was impossible for anyone to handle six different hammers during the forging process at the same time.
This defied common logic!
However, she felt she could be overreacting, considering her fiancé’s usual way of doing things. She quickly calmed down, avoiding any expression that would invite his mockery.
If she knew that Wang Teng had once controlled more than ten hammers in one go, what would her expression be like?
It would probably be… quite cute!
The entire room was filled with the hammering sounds, but she didn’t find it irritating.
The sounds had a peculiar cadence that resembled a melodious piano piece, which resonated within the tranquil smithing room.
If other grandmaster artificers were present, they could have been too startled to say anything.
Those who could achieve such a level were top-notch blacksmiths.
Many grandmasters unique rhythms for their forging, but only a handful of them could transform those rhythms into a full-fledged composition.
This required a high level of control and mastery!
Only peak experts could achieve it, while Wang Teng was only at the fourth-level.
Time flew. Soon, all the materials were hammered and set on the smithing table. They gave off a dazzling glow that seemed exceptionally divine.
Still, that was just the start.
Wang Teng merged the other three materials with the Luck Confining Stone, gradually forming a unique blue-gray alloy.
Finally, he took out the purple box with the Luck Tear and opened it.
The stone floated out of the casing thanks to his spiritual control. Next came the most important step…
