Hearing Yuan Liuer say that her weapon was almost finished, Hu Ke'er excitedly rushed into the blacksmith's shop.
At this time, there was only the young blacksmith left in the shop, hammering away at the iron with a clanging sound. Hu Ke'er stood not far away, watching him without making a sound.
"Bang!"
As the young blacksmith landed his final blow with the hammer, a bright crimson light shot up into the sky.
"Finally, it's a success!"
The young blacksmith wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and murmured to himself.
"Um, Brother Blacksmith, is this my Thousand - Machine Umbrella?"
After the crimson light dissipated, Hu Ke'er stepped forward and said softly.
"Hey, Little Senior Sister, when did you come? I didn't even notice!"
The young blacksmith showed a surprised expression when he saw Hu Ke'er.
"Um, I've been here for a while. But seeing that you were busy, I didn't want to disturb you."
As Hu Ke'er spoke, she also looked at the long - handled red umbrella in the blacksmith's hand.
"This should be my Thousand - Machine Umbrella, right? How about it, is it successfully forged?"
"Yeah."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the young blacksmith nodded.
"This is the Thousand - Machine Umbrella that you asked me to forge before, Little Senior Sister. I've finished forging it. You can take it and have a try."
As the young blacksmith spoke, he handed the Thousand - Machine Umbrella to Hu Ke'er.
"Great!"
Hearing the young blacksmith's words, Hu Ke'er took the Thousand - Machine Umbrella from his hand.
"So heavy!"
Even though Hu Ke'er had taken the Body - Tempering Pill and reached the Body - Refining Stage, she still felt the weight of the umbrella when she first picked it up.
"The materials of this Thousand - Machine Umbrella are not ordinary. They are all high - grade materials used for forging flying swords. So the weight of this umbrella is much heavier than ordinary weapons."
"This is too heavy. How can I use it?"
Hearing the young blacksmith's words, Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
It seemed that she had underestimated the weight of the Thousand - Machine Umbrella. Even though she had entered the Body - Refining Stage, the weight of the umbrella was still a bit too much for her.
"Little Junior Sister, can't you still lift the Thousand - Machine Umbrella?"
Just when Hu Ke'er was worried, Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Yeah, Senior Brother Chen, do you have any way to make this Thousand - Machine Umbrella lighter?"
Hu Ke'er said softly.
"This isn't that heavy."
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he took the Thousand - Machine Umbrella from Hu Ke'er's hand and waved it easily.
"It's light for you, Senior Brother Chen, but it's still too heavy for me."
"Um, how about I add a talisman to it for you, Little Junior Sister? Then as long as you recite the incantation, the Thousand - Machine Umbrella will be much lighter."
"Yeah, then please add a talisman for me first, Senior Brother."
"Okay."
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he summoned his flying sword. Then he moved his lips and silently recited an incantation. The flying sword shrank to the size of a dagger.
"May the celestial principles of the universe converge into one law."
As he spoke, the flying sword emitted a burst of cyan light. Then Chen Tianyi took the dagger and carved a talisman on the handle of the Thousand - Machine Umbrella.
"Okay, Little Junior Sister, try it again!"
As he spoke, Chen Tianyi handed the Thousand - Machine Umbrella to Hu Ke'er.
"Ouch!"
Hu Ke'er caught the Thousand - Machine Umbrella with both hands, but instead of feeling it lighter, she felt that it was even heavier.
"Senior Brother Chen, this umbrella seems to be even heavier."
"Little Junior Sister, I'll teach you an incantation. Try it and then tell me."
As Chen Tianyi spoke, he made a mysterious hand - seal.
"Little Junior Sister, do as I do."
"Yeah."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er imitated him and made the same hand - seal.
"May the celestial principles of the universe converge into one law!"
Chen Tianyi chanted.
"May the celestial principles of the universe converge into one law."
Hu Ke'er also recited it following Chen Tianyi.
"Now try it again, Little Junior Sister."
Chen Tianyi said softly to Hu Ke'er.
"Um, this still doesn't work."
Hu Ke'er tried hard to lift the Thousand - Machine Umbrella, but the tip of the umbrella still landed heavily on the ground. She couldn't lift it at all.
"Oops, I forgot to tell you about gathering qi, Little Junior Sister."
Only then did Chen Tianyi seem to remember something.
"Gather qi?"
Hu Ke'er asked in confusion when she heard Chen Tianyi's words.
"Yeah, first let your consciousness stay in your dantian in your lower abdomen. Then follow the direction of your meridians and gather all the qi in your body to your hands and condense spiritual energy. Then make a hand - seal and try again."
"Yeah!"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er started to imagine as he said. Then she felt a burning sensation gathering from her dantian to her hands.
"May the celestial principles of the universe converge into one law!"
When Hu Ke'er held the Thousand - Machine Umbrella, the talisman on the handle of the umbrella glowed slightly. Then when she lifted the umbrella again, she felt it extremely light.
"Um, so light. It's really much lighter. This is so amazing!"
Hu Ke'er easily picked up the Thousand - Machine Umbrella and waved it.
"This isn't really that amazing. Talismans are all like this."
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"How about you try the function of the Thousand - Machine Umbrella, Little Junior Sister?"
"Yeah, okay."
As she spoke, Hu Ke'er carried the Thousand - Machine Umbrella and walked out of the blacksmith's shop.
"Senior Brother Chen, you try it!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi nodded. Then he pointed his finger slightly, and that cyan flying sword flew directly towards Hu Ke'er.
"For real?"
Seeing the flying sword coming towards her, Hu Ke'er panicked and quickly opened the Thousand - Machine Umbrella in her hand. The red umbrella opened slightly, and the flying sword hit the umbrella, making a sound of metal clashing.
"Hey? It blocked it?"
"Yeah, it seems that the quality of this Thousand - Machine Umbrella is quite good!"
Chen Tianyi was surprised when he saw the Thousand - Machine Umbrella bounce off his flying sword.
"Senior Brother Chen, use more strength. I want to know the limit of this Thousand - Machine Umbrella."
"Yeah!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi made a hand - seal. Then the flying sword emitted a burst of cyan light and flew towards the Thousand - Machine Umbrella.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound rang out, and the cyan flying sword was bounced off again.
"Um, it seems that the defensive power of this Thousand - Machine Umbrella is quite good!"
Hu Ke'er showed a satisfied smile when she saw the Thousand - Machine Umbrella bounce off the flying sword again.
"Yeah, if you can make good use of this Thousand - Machine Umbrella, Little Junior Sister, you will surely be able to protect yourself. If you can cooperate with the weapons you made yourself, it might even have unexpected effects."
"Hehe, then I will surely do my best to pass the inner - sect test!"
