Romantic Medical Immortal

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, feeling a sense of pride in his heart. To be valued by such a top Weapon Master meant he might get more weapons in the future. By then, he could arrange a piece for each of the cultivators close to him.

He thought happily and suddenly took out the Bone-Piercing Spike he had obtained from Chi Ren earlier, asking, "Master Chen, do you recognize this? What material is it made of?"

"Bone-Piercing Spike, crafted from Black Iron. Although it isn’t Thousand-Year Cold Iron, it’s still a rare Magic Artifact. You’re quite young, yet have quite a few treasures with you."

Chen Shixiang looked surprised. Not many people in the world could craft Magic Artifacts, and materials that could withstand the urging of True Qi were very rare. Yet Yang Cheng could continually take them out, suggesting his identity was not to be underestimated.

"Master Chen, I seized this from someone who wanted to kill me. My shoulder blade got pierced by this thing, and because I felt its power, I thought I lacked a handy weapon myself."

Yang Cheng chuckled. He didn’t plan to use the Bone-Piercing Spike; he intended to give it to Cheng Ruonan for self-defense.

"The Bone-Piercing Spike is too simple for me. The weapon I’ll craft for you will certainly exceed your imagination."

Chen Shixiang’s face was full of pride.

"So, does this mean you’ve already decided what to make?"

Yang Cheng looked curious, his eyes gleaming.

Chen Shixiang nodded, picked up a blueprint from the table, and handed it to him.

The blueprint depicted a pair of crescent-shaped blades, with a dark spherical core in the middle etched with unknown symbols, looking somewhat chaotic.

"What is this?"

Yang Cheng’s expression was indescribable. He originally thought Chen Shixiang would make him a super cool, explosive greatsword or long sword, but what was on the blueprint seemed rather odd.

"The Sun and Moon Golden Wheel; the crescent-shaped blades are the Moon Golden Wheel made from Thousand-Year Cold Iron. The edges are ground to be extremely thin and sharp. When activated with True Qi, the Moon Golden Wheel spins, and the blade emits a moon-white glow, swiftly flying out to strike the enemy’s vital points."

"Normally, the Moon Golden Wheel looks like the blueprint, but upon seeing your Spirit Stones, I got a new idea. I’m going to embed the red and green Spirit Stones on the sides of the Moon Golden Wheel. When they rotate, the intertwining forces will definitely make it more powerful."

Master Chen said, picking up a pen to start drawing on the blueprint.

Although Master Chen was a strong Weapon Master, his drawing skills left much to be desired. If he hadn’t explained, Yang Cheng would have thought the paper was all doodles.

"So, the small ball in the middle is the Sun Golden Wheel?"

Yang Cheng asked.

"That’s right, this is the Sun Golden Wheel. Although it looks small, I don’t have the materials needed to craft it right now. So, I can only make the Moon Golden Wheel for now, but even this Magic Artifact is enough to deal with cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Seeing Yang Cheng’s slightly dismissive look, Chen Shixiang couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Don’t underestimate the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel. This type of weapon is flexible and convenient, and the Sun and Moon represent Yin and Yang, which fits with your Dual Cultivation Technique, making the Magic Artifact more compatible with the user, thus more powerful."

"Master Chen, what you said is impressive, just that the blueprint is too ugly, causing me to misunderstand."

Yang Cheng laughed and teased.

"Hey! You brat dare to make fun of me, believe it or not, I’ll stop crafting this for you."

Chen Shixiang glared, and Yang Cheng promptly admitted his mistake.

"I won’t dare again. True masters like you are not bothered by trivialities. It doesn’t matter if the drawing is ugly, as long as the crafted Magic Artifact is exquisite."

Chen Shixiang snorted coldly, not quarreling with him anymore, and said seriously, "I’ll start crafting the Moon Golden Wheel. You come help with the fire."

"Alrighty!"

Yang Cheng hurried over to light the fire, working hard to pump the bellows.

The weapon-forging furnace was indeed different and soon blazed up, raising the room’s temperature sharply.

"If it’s too hot, just take off all your clothes. This is tiring work, and crafting such an exquisite Magic Artifact takes a long time; it can’t be completed soon."

Chen Shixiang said, taking off his clothes and pants himself, wearing only a pair of black shorts.

Yang Cheng was too embarrassed to strip down entirely; he only took off his top, revealing his stout upper body.

"Good lad, your body is solid enough. You’re a natural at weapon crafting!"

Chen Shixiang exclaimed in admiration, his eyes shining at the sight of his muscles.

Quickly covering his chest, Yang Cheng awkwardly smiled.

What’s up with this old man, staring at him like that? Could he have some improper thoughts?

Chen Shixiang had no idea what Yang Cheng was thinking; he merely thought he was shy due to his age, but he really wanted to make Yang Cheng his apprentice.

He’s been living alone for years. Occasionally, a few old friends would visit and suggest he should take an apprentice to pass down his skills after he’s gone.

However, among the youngsters around him, none caught his eye. Now seeing Yang Cheng’s strong physique, he felt no one would be more suitable.

"Kid, I don’t even know your name yet."

Having the thought, Chen Shixiang’s tone turned much gentler.

Seeing the suddenly smiling Master Chen, Yang Cheng felt chills in his heart. Had he known, he wouldn’t have taken off his clothes. It’s all because he’s too handsome, even the old man can’t resist his charm.

"My name is Yang Cheng."

He answered truthfully. There’s no point in lying since he’d be exposed once he left and bumped into Lin Wen and the others.

"Nice name, and your skills are strong enough. Are you willing to become my apprentice?"

Chen Shixiang asked with a cheerful smile, fully confident Yang Cheng wouldn’t refuse and raised his head proudly.

"Master Chen, can I say no?"

Yang Cheng cautiously spoke, and Chen Shixiang’s smile instantly stiffened.

"Why not? I’m a Weapon Master after all. Do you think I’m not qualified to be your master?"

"No, no!"

Yang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand, explaining, "I specialize in medicine and alchemy. I don’t know how to forge weapons, and I’m usually very busy. Crafting weapons requires delicate work, patience, and focus, which doesn’t suit me."

Though he was interested in weapons, he really didn’t have time to learn, and besides, each field has its own expertise; it requires talent.

"If you don’t want to learn, fine. I’ll find a better apprentice."

Chen Shixiang snorted displeasedly.

"Don’t be hasty, I’ll keep an eye out for you."

Yang Cheng laughed cheerfully, vigorously working the bellows, making himself feel the heat.

...

Meanwhile, in Zhonghai Jia’an District.

Kong Jingshan and Elder Kong were hiding in a shabby little room. The occupancy rate in this district was very low, and the building was remote, so generally, no one would pass by. This way, they could detect anyone approaching and come up with a countermeasure.
