"Today, Genji from Kyoto sent these killing stones.

I hope we can forge a sword for them that is strong enough to cut through the 'ghost king level' evil spirits!"

Master An Gang looked at the killing stone on the ground and spoke slowly, clearing Su Wu's confusion.

He turned to look at Su Wu seriously, and then said: "My friend Zhuzhao has been living in Boqi Country for a long time, and maybe he doesn't know what's going on outside - the Yuan family is now one of the most powerful nobles in Dongliu Island, controlling many countries.

His warriors are like clouds, and his retainers are like rain!

Perhaps it’s because the ‘Half Pole Superior’ sword I forged for the Fujiwara clan got the attention of the Gen clan’s ‘Minamoto Norigo’, so this time they specially sent the killing stone and asked me to help cast this sword.”

For a swordsmith,

Being able to get involved with the great nobles of Kyoto is indeed a great benefit because "it's easy to enjoy the shade against a big tree".

But if you can't meet the requirements of the great nobles and things go wrong,

And it will cause huge disasters for the sword.

An Gang obviously also knew this,

He summoned all the craftsmen from the sword-making workshop just to discuss how to deal with this matter.

"As a swordsmith, I have regarded it as my lifelong dream to forge a 'superior' sword!" An Gang's eyes were shining. After speaking, he bent down and picked up the copper box at his feet, put it on the table, and put it on the table.

to open.

Inside the copper box,

Suddenly lying there was a lifelike humanoid killing stone.

The body of this killing stone is purple and black. The naked body is sitting cross-legged with hands clasped together in a posture of pious worship to the Buddha.

Su Wu looked at this 'Human Stone' and found no traces of veins on the stone that wrapped around the body like the 'Dashang Baby Stone'. From this point of view, the 'Dashang Baby Stone' might be more powerful than the 'Human Stone'.

A killing stone of one grade higher.

But even so,

Human-shaped killing stones are also extremely rare.

The quality must be extremely high.

I think this should be the most advanced sword-forging material sent by Genji in Kyoto.

Looking at the 'human stone' in the copper box, the craftsmen couldn't take their eyes away for a while.

An Gang's breathing was also a little heavier,

But he still maintained his rationality, and after showing the 'Human Stone' to everyone, he continued: "This is the 'Human Stone' sent by Mr. Minamoto no Raigo. If we agree to forge a sword for him, this 'Human Stone' will be used as a weapon."

Used by us!

In my entire life, I have seen the highest level of killing stones, which are just head stones.

This is the first time I have seen a human stone.

Legend has it that this stone has all kinds of unpredictable abilities, which can make the sword look like a living creature, and even give the sword the potential to 'turn into something strange'!

Among the nine major mineral veins, the number of human stones produced every year is less than ten!

Every ten pieces of jade steel and tin iron produced by calcining human stone are enough to forge a sword!

This shows how precious this stone is!"

An Gang paused,

Looking up at the many craftsmen,

Pulling their thoughts back, after everyone looked at him, he continued: "Genji controls the 'Mino Vein', one of the nine major mineral veins, and the 'Human Stone' produced every year has a fixed distribution.

But what can be encountered is that even if ‘Minamoto Noraigo’ is the eldest son of the Minamoto family,

The number of 'human stones' in his hand will not exceed three.

Maybe even just this piece!

He handed this stone to us - if we waste this stone and the sword we finally forge is of only 'top grade' quality, it will be a huge failure!

When the time comes, our sword-forging house will bear the wrath of Minamoto no Norigo.

No need to say more about the outcome!

Therefore, you need to think carefully,

Do we leave these stones and cast them into finished swords, and success or failure depends on this?

It’s better to let go of this opportunity to get in touch with the ‘Human Stone’,

preserve life,

Slowly hone your skills and wait for the next time - even spend your whole life waiting for that opportunity that may never come to you?"

After An Gang finished speaking, he fell silent.

Leave the choice to many craftsmen.

Su Wu stood silently beside him,

He realized the preciousness of the ‘human stone’,

He also became more aware of the rarity of the ‘Dashang Infant Stone’.

The 'Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine' is just a branch of a branch, but with the 'Dashang Infant Stone' as the secret key, the quality of the killing stones contained in it is likely to be relatively good.

Then the question comes,

Your Majesty, how could the great nobles let this vein, which is likely to contain extremely high-quality killing stones, slip away from their hands?

How did the Inoue family and Axiong obtain this mineral vein?

…

Originally, Su Wu thought that 'Genji's mission' would be a dilemma for An Gang Swordsmith.

But he didn't expect that

After just over ten breaths,

The craftsman made the decision: "Master craftsman, please accept Genji's commission. I am willing to use all my strength and talents for this matter!"

"Take the commission!"

"If we lose this opportunity, we may never come into contact with the 'Human Stone' again!"

"Master Craftsman..."

All the craftsmen spoke out one after another,

They all asked An Gang to take over Genji's commission.

Forge a sword for Genji that can cut through the 'ghost king level' Ligui - such a sword should at least start with 'extreme' quality!

So far in An Gang's life, he has only forged the only "semi-extreme" sword that surpasses the "top grade"!

The extremely superior 'Big Red Lotus Fetus' was forged by Su Wu himself, and An Gang was not in charge of the entire forging process!

Su Wu glanced at the many craftsmen,

All the craftsmen asked Anzuna to agree to Genji's commission.

But he had seen the expressions on the faces of many craftsmen, and he guessed in his mind that 60% of these craftsmen should really have this idea, but the remaining 40% were just doing it to 'fit in with the group' and were 'forced'

Followed the crowd sentiment.

A smile appeared on An Gang's silent face,

He looked sideways at Su Wu beside him, his eyes full of hope: "Little friend Zhuzhao, are you willing to stay and help me?"

Among all the craftsmen present,

Only Su Wu has forged an 'extremely superior' sword.

His experience is crucial.

The importance even exceeds the sum of all the craftsmen here!

“Being able to participate in such a grand event,

It's also my honor." Su Wu nodded in agreement.

The smile on An Gang's face grew stronger and stronger. He nodded seriously, glanced at the many craftsmen, and began to assign tasks: "The head stones and placenta stones on the ground will be handed over to Kira and Kenta for calcination!"

"Xiaotian, Qingshi is responsible for selecting the calcined jade steel and smelting iron!"

"Yongzheng..."

It’s just the forging process of a knife,

An Gang Sword Forging Factory dispatched all the ink craftsmen.

All the craftsmen present received the task and began to get busy.

In a blink of an eye,
To be continued...
