Chapter 76 Equipment Enhancement
"Well, although I don't quite understand what you're saying, I can certainly look forward to such a future."
The two separated, and Gu Sanqiu picked up the Eye of God from his waist and held it in his mouth, his pronunciation a little unclear.
"Future, a very interesting word."
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the Gu family's door.
"Yeah, I knew you were coming."
Gu Sanqiu chewed on the crystal shrimp dumplings and said, "Have you eaten? I made extra for two people."
Xingqiu's face turned dark: "I ate it."
"But it doesn't stop me from eating a little more."
Chongyun walked in front of Xingqiu and said, "Good morning, Lao Gu."
"Come in, it's no good standing at the door talking. Remember to leave your scraps outside."
"Don't worry, the thing has been left at Xingqiu's house."
Chongyun patted his chest and said, "Thanks to that thing, I can now suppress my pure yang body for a short period of time, but after suppressing it for a period of time, I still need to rely on the power of the residue."
"Well, that's a good start."
After serving the two of them crystal shrimp dumplings, Xingqiu still had a sullen face.
"Do you think I will forgive you if you specially make the dishes I like?"
“I’m not wrong.”
This sentence successfully made veins pop up on Xingqiu's forehead.
"Eat it or not? If not, I'll take it away."
"eat!"
The three of them sat beside the mountain and water pond in the courtyard. Xingqiu looked around and sighed.
"I haven't been to your house for a long time, and it feels like nothing has changed."
"These shrimp dumplings are pretty good. Is this your own secret recipe, Mr. Gu?"
"Well, it should be considered a unique secret recipe. The shrimps in it are very particular."
Xingqiu's mouth twitched: "You are not a shrimp made of carrots?"
"How could that be? Those are the ingredients I use to make fish dumplings."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "Chop the carrots and cabbage into small pieces and mix them with the fish meat as the filling. Season it with just a little pepper and salt. The steamed dumplings will definitely make you feel like you are in the countryside and at the sea."
Chongyun, who had already finished a basket of shrimp dumplings, swallowed secretly.
It has been a long time since I had such hot food, not to mention that Lao Gu’s cooking skills seem to be better than those of the chef of Xingqiu’s family.
It’s really not because he is greedy!
"You came to see me so early this morning. It seems you are going to travel again?"
"Yes, that's right. Besides saying goodbye, I also want you to help us strengthen our weapons."
Xingqiu put down his chopsticks and said, "I've thought about it. The weapons in our hands can easily deal with some ordinary monsters, but if we encounter more powerful guys, it is still necessary to strengthen our weapons."
"Then why did you come to me? There should be a lot of people in Feiyun Chamber of Commerce who can accomplish this."
"I trust your craftsmanship more than those guys."
"Well, that's a good point. Have you brought everything with you?"
"I have it, even including your labor costs."
Xingqiu rolled his eyes. "With your wages, I won't have to accept such a weird condition as 'eating a carrot meal'."
"Yes, it seems that you have become very smart."
Gu Sanqiu praised him and then stood up: "Pack up and follow me to the underground. You should know the route by now."
The underground fire was rising, and Chongyun hid far away using the secret method given to him by Gu Sanqiu, and used talismans to cool himself down from time to time.
"I was going to send it to you, but now that you're here, it would be convenient to give you this secret method directly."
Gu Sanqiu looked at the two swords lying on the forging table: "But what's the matter with your weapons, couple's style?"
There were two swords, one large and one small, both white with blue patterns. No wonder Gu Sanqiu suddenly said that.
"No, it's just from the same master."
Xingqiu's face darkened: "Why do you think of such strange things?"
"No, it's just that you give people the impression that way."
"Really?"
Xingqiu looked unconvinced: "This is probably just your baseless conjecture."
"Why don't you go out and ask?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Xingqiu and said, "What about the materials you prepared? You are not going to use the things I have here to pad you out, are you?"
"Oh yeah, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten to put it outside the door."
After more than ten minutes, Gu Sanqiu looked at the five large boxes on the ground and couldn't help but slap his forehead.
"I really doubt what's wrong with your brains to put these things at the door."
After the box was opened, there were four boxes of glittering Mora and another material emitting various scents. Gu Sanqiu picked up a horn, looked at it carefully, and tapped it lightly with his fingers.
"Well, it's all OK, above the standard. Otherwise, the enhanced weapon might have some flaws."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's nothing. It will be fine in a moment."
Gu Sanqiu hooked the index finger of his right hand towards the four big boxes of Mora, and these round, patterned little cuties instantly melted together and turned into four golden waves that poured into the forging table.
"Come and give me a hand. Just throw in the materials I tell you to throw in, and don't worry about the rest."
"No problem, you take care of yours."
Xingqiu stood next to the box and threw the materials into it one by one in the order Gu Sanqiu had said.
The flames in the forge rose and then weakened, while the golden water waves formed by Mora gradually became smaller, and in some strange way, the solution formed by the material penetrated into the weapon.
"Put away the fire."
"That's the fourth box in the third row from the left over there."
Xingqiu dodged and took the box. After opening it, a slightly fishy smell emanated from inside.
"What is this ?"
"A mixture of Firefly's body fluids, water slime, and wind slime condensate."
After a "swish" sound, Gu Sanqiu reached out and grabbed the two swords. After some strengthening, the cold light that was originally shining on the two swords disappeared, but the naked eye could see a heart-pounding sharpness.
"Yes, the guy who helped you forge the weapons is indeed worthy of the title of master. He can actually withstand the strengthening steps I have taken."
"After we go back, we'll use good magic crystals to cultivate and maintain it. After five days, the performance should be completely stable."
Gu Sanqiu threw the two swords to Xingqiu and said, "Take them out and try them yourself. Remember not to cause any problems to the flowers and plants in my house, otherwise you will be held responsible."
"Old Gu, your strengthening steps seem to be different from those I have seen."
“That’s a big difference.”
Xingqiu handed the greatsword to Chongyun and said, "Have you ever seen a forger throw all the materials in like this?"
“Yes.”
Chongyun suddenly realized: "Shouldn't the normal strengthening process use Mora to cultivate a solid foundation before using other materials for secondary strengthening? It seems that Lao Gu is doing both at the same time."
"That's why I came to see him."
Xingqiu patted Gu Sanqiu on the shoulder: "How about it, explain it?"
"When forging an area, any change in temperature will have an impact on the finished product. The most correct step is to do them all at once. However, apart from those in our circle, only the owner of the Eye of God can do it this way."
"The secondary forging method you just mentioned was developed later. This method is universal in the conventional sense."
"However, the method I use is the best way to strengthen weapons."
