In the sword-forging place, the sound of clanging is endless.
Wang Pingbei was sweating all over and swinging a hammer.
He was sent by Xiao Chen to be the assistant of Zhang the blacksmith.
Being an assistant means I just do some simple work.
Blacksmith Zhang didn't let him do any delicate work.
"Senior Zhang, how long will it take?"
Wang Pingbei asked.
"Go on, it may take more than ten hours."
Blacksmith Zhang said while drinking tea.
"What?"
Wang Pingbei's hands went limp and the hammer nearly hit his foot.
He felt a little unhappy when he saw Blacksmith Zhang leisurely while he was sweating all over.
But thinking that it was Xiao Chen who gave the order, he did not dare to object.
He is becoming increasingly worthless now.
Especially after Xiao Chen recruited these powerful men, he felt even less secure.
Putting aside other things, just talking about strength, he is no match for them and can't beat any of them.
"Blacksmithing is a delicate job. You are not as good as my disciple."
Blacksmith Zhang glanced at Wang Pingbei and said.
"I've never forged iron before."
Wang Pingbei smiled bitterly, gritted his teeth and continued to forge iron.
Just as he persisted, Xiao Chen came in from outside with the old man.
Blacksmith Zhang stood up when he saw Xiao Chen and the old man behind him.
He was a little confused. Who was this?
It's very unfamiliar.
And judging from her attire, she seems somewhat special too.
"Senior Zhang, let me introduce you to my master... Emperor Xuanyuan."
Xiao Chen smiled.
Clang.
As blacksmith Zhang widened his eyes, Wang Pingbei's hammer also hit his feet.
"ah……"
Wang Pingbei screamed in pain and tears came out.
He ignored the pain and looked at the old man behind Xiao Chen. This old man turned out to be the legendary Emperor Xuanyuan?
"hehe."
Xiao Chen was very satisfied with their reaction and his smile became even wider.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
Blacksmith Zhang reacted and knelt on the ground in panic.
When Wang Pingbei saw him kneeling down, he also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed several times.
"Everyone, get up."
The old man smiled and lifted them up with gentle strength.
"Are you the descendant of a sword slave?"
"Yes, Great Emperor."
Blacksmith Zhang was extremely respectful because his ancestor, a sword slave, was the one who helped the emperor forge weapons.
“Something of him.”
The old man nodded.
"I am here today to teach you how to repair the Xuanyuan Sword."
"A way to repair the Xuanyuan Sword?"
Blacksmith Zhang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Chen, and then became ecstatic.
He has been groping around these days, and although there has been some progress, it has been very slow.
If we had the emperor's guidance, it would definitely be repaired faster.
Most importantly, it is a great honor to receive guidance from the great emperor.
With the emperor's level of weapon forging, any pointers he gives him would benefit him greatly.
"Um."
The old man nodded and his eyes fell on the Xuanyuan Sword that was broken into three pieces.
Swish.
Three broken swords flew up and fought in the air.
The sword spirit also appeared.
"I need you to repair the sword."
The old man said to the sword spirit.
"Come back."
"yes."
The sword spirit responded and returned to the Xuanyuan Sword.
Afterwards, the old man began to instruct Xiao Chen and Zhang the blacksmith on how to repair the sword.
Wang Pingbei also listened carefully, this was a rare opportunity.
But he himself was not good at forging weapons and could not understand at all.
However, even though he didn't understand, he pretended to be serious. It was an honor to listen to the emperor's instructions.
Half an hour later, the flame in the furnace started.
This time, the flame was no longer ordinary fire, but the fire that the emperor took out from his sleeve.
At first it was just a flame the size of a soybean, but after it fell into the furnace, it ignited instantly.
The temperature in the cave also rose suddenly.
"What kind of fire is this?"
Xiao Chen looked at the red and white flames and asked curiously.
"Skyfire."
The old man replied.
"Mortal fire cannot smelt it. It takes too much time... Even if it can eventually melt the material, it cannot be repaired."
"Yeah, fire won't work, but there's no way to find heavenly fire right now..."
Blacksmith Zhang smiled bitterly.
"Heavenly fire is a legendary existence."
"I will leave this heavenly fire here. It will not go out."
The old man said.
Hearing this, Zhang the blacksmith was overjoyed. With the heavenly fire, the effectiveness of forging weapons and refining equipment would surely be doubled.
He was confident that with the heavenly fire and the divine hammer, he could easily forge a divine weapon.
Xiao Chen glanced at the old man. This heavenly fire must be extraordinary since it could make Zhang the blacksmith so excited.
He is worthy of being the emperor. He can take out heavenly fire at will. How many good things must he have!
If we can rob the emperor, then why not make it rich?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to slap himself.
Used to looting?
Even the emperor dares to make plans?
You are so brave!
"Damn it, if the emperor knew I wanted to rob him, wouldn't he blow me up with just a finger?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, getting rid of the idea of robbing the emperor.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The old man noticed Xiao Chen's abnormality and asked.
"Huh? Nothing, I just thought of something."
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Come, hold the hammer yourself."
The old man didn't think much about it and said to Xiao Chen.
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded, picked up the hammer, and started smashing it according to the old man's instructions.
"Am I a bit redundant? How about I leave?"
Wang Pingbei looked at the three people. Why didn’t any of them pay any attention to him?
"Come here."
Suddenly, the old man said to Wang Pingbei.
"Do me a favor."
"Your Majesty, just give your orders."
Wang Pingbei was flattered. Isn't the emperor too easy-going?
"hehe."
The old man smiled and gave some instructions.
A few minutes later, the Xuanyuan Sword fell on the heavenly fire and was quickly burned red.
"Master, there won't be any problem with the little sword, right?"
Xiao Chen asked, a little worried.
"No, don't worry."
The old man shook his head.
"That's good."
Xiao Chen felt relieved.
Time passed by minute by minute, from dawn to dusk.
Xiao Chen and his companions were completely immersed in it.
"Okay, the initial repairs are complete, let's put it aside for now."
The old man looked at the Xuanyuan Sword and said.
“Is this just a preliminary repair?”
Xiao Chen was surprised. There was no trace of breakage on the sword anymore.
"Well, just preliminary repairs."
The old man nodded.
"The hardest part is still to come."
“…”
Not to mention Xiao Chen was surprised, even Zhang the blacksmith was secretly glad that the emperor had come.
Otherwise, it may not be repaired even in ten or eight years, let alone a year or two.
The best he could do was to make the sword invisible.
This is just a preliminary fix and doesn't mean much.
"Let's take a break. Xiao Chen, come with me."
After the old man finished speaking, he slowly walked outside.
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Chen nodded and followed.
Zhang the blacksmith looked at Xiao Chen. He already knew Xiao Chen's identity and was as surprised as the Ghost King and the others.
Later, he accepted it.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s Chen Xiao or Xiao Chen, the one he respects is the Lord of Xuanyuan Realm.
What's more, the emperor's personal presence is enough to represent everything.
"Wait until the Xuanyuan Sword is repaired, then you can go out."
Outside, the old man said as he climbed up.
"Master, what about you?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.
