Gate of Immortality

Chapter 148: Preparation

Two spirit stones, Yang Shi's gaze was burning. He needs them at any cost. " I can convince Lu Xiao. After all, I saved his life back then. Now, about Miss Yanyu. Heh, She won't be willing to trade with me without any benefit." Yang Shi thought. If three persons are going on this mission, Yang Shi needs to convince them both to get two spirit stones for himself. " Hmm, I remember that she doesn't have a good bow." His eyes sparkled as he pulled out his forging table. Then he took out a brush, inkpot, and paper. He calmed his mind as he began to draw. He took the brush and paper from Old Ghost's cabin.

" Errm...It's not too bad for the first time?" Yang Shi coughed slightly. He saw the outlines of the bow he was going forge, at least in his eyes. " Pui, What the fuck is that crap? Is this called a blueprint?" Samsara Emperor couldn't help but spit. " What I am supposed to do? It's the first time I drew anything after twenty years." Yang Shi couldn't help but grumble. Even back in Earth, he didn't have the luxury to learn drawing. And naturally, his natural skills are good as a child's scribble. Nonetheless, He got a general idea about the bow and spirit diagrams on it. " A bow needs to be light and precise. Both limbs must be the same as each other else the bow's shot won't be accurate.

Yang Shi already decided that he will use a lightness Spirit diagram. It will make the bow light and fast, granting maximum speed to the arrow. " Hmm, She also seems to use a weapon condensation technique." Yang Shi remembered when he fought with her. She can condense arrow from the spiritual qi. And those arrows might wasn't any low. But, a Real arrow is a real arrow. Yang Shi was also thinking to forge some Spirit slaying arrow.  Considering her strength, with these arrows, She can severely injure cultivators of the Eight stage.

But of course, making spirit diagrams on arrows are very difficult. Yang Shi wondered if he could make more than three Spirit slaying arrows at the moment. After all, Spirit slaying arrows aren't normal arrows. It can also be considered as Spirit grade weapons. Pairing with this bow, these arrows can bring destruction. He finally lit his smelting cauldron and poured ores and metals. The ores slowly melted as they merged with each other.

Yang Shi pulled out the glowing billet and hammered it with his Sky Breaking Hammer. *DING DING DING DING DING* With sonorous sounds, Yang Shi began to give the billet into the shape of a bow. As for the bowstring, Yang Shi pulled out a demonic beast corpse from his spatial ring and refined its tendon. Its a high grade demonic beast's tendon, so its durability is very high. Yang  Shi also crushed some Earthen copper crystals to powder and smeared them all over the tendon. It increased its durability and strength. It won't break even an Eight stage cultivator pull it with full force. It took half an hour just to perfect the string. After all, smearing metallic powder on a beast tendon is delicate work. A slight mistake can lead to failure.

" Grandpa, How can you agree to him without my consent?" Yanyu raged. " You are going to steal the important documents about weapon smuggling from Guo Chun. However, I feel its a trap for Blood Moon assassins." Old Ghost frowned. Its normal to put commissions that lure out assassins. However, It's a double edged sword. If they are unable to kill the assassin and the assassin somehow kills the target, The one who had posted the commission must pay for the commission, else, Blood Moon Hall will mobilize their force to annihilate them.

" So what? I can easily take care of myself." Yanyu snorted. " Still, Its better to have companions. Who knows, That brat might give an unexpected surprise." Old Ghost chuckled. " Hmph, I need to talk with him. Where is he?" " He is in that room." Old Ghost's face turned strange. " What he is doing there?" Yanyu asked. " He...see,s to forging something." Old Ghost muttered. " What? We are about to leave now and he is forging something?" Yanyu shouted in disbelief. " Yes, well, He should be done by now. Oh, He is coming." Old Ghost said.

Surprisingly, he was only looking at the wall which separated Yang Shi's room and theirs. Just by this, he can see what's happening inside the closed room. Yanyu knows about the prowess of Old Ghost, so she wasn't surprised. " What is he forging?" She became curious. " Well, It's better to hear from his mouth." Old Ghost smiled. The door opened as Yang Shi saw Old Ghost along with the mysterious Miss Yanyu. This time, she wasn't disguised as a male. She wore a tight black dress which was outlining every curve of her body. She wore a black veil, to hide her face. Nonetheless, Yang Shi was mesmerized by the beauty of her. She is indeed more beautiful than Bai Ruxue and Lan Yue.

" Ah, I was just waiting for you." Yang Shi smiled as he hurriedly wiped his sweat. " So, Are you ready for the mission?" He asked. " Why do you think I will agree on it?" Yanyu asked. This time, she didn't alter her voice. Her tone sounded like the chirping of birds. Yang Shi couldn't help but get distracted. " I feel you won't reject it. Moreover, I can repay your favor." Yang Shi said. " What favor?" Yanyu asked in surprise. " Well, Last time, you saved my life. So, I thought to give something." Yang Shi scratched his head. " I saw you aren't using a Spirit grade bow, so I decided to forge one for you." Yang Shi waved his arm as a bow with a meter length appeared. It was a silver bow with intricate golden patterns. Yanyu's eyes went wide in surprise as she took the bow from Yang Shi.

She held the handle as she slightly pulled the bowstring. *TWENGGG* Like a zither note, the string vibrated. She infused his spiritual qi in it, lighting up the golden patterns. Mist gathered and condensed into an arrow. But this arrow looked more corporeal than the last time when she was battling with Yang Shi. " These special spirit diagrams can amplify the condensation of spiritual qi into the weapon. Too bad I made it in hurry, nonetheless, Its still a high tier Spirit grade weapon, better than your bow." Yang Shi said with a tinge of dejection.

Old Ghosts' eyes shot up as he became surprised. " He made a high tier Spirit grade weapon in two hours? Such profound blacksmithing skill in such young age!" He thought. Yanyu shot the arrow to a white rock nearby. *BOOM* with a whistling sound, the arrow went through the rock and shattered a nearby tree. The hole in the rock was very smooth, as it shows the power and sharpness of the arrow. " That's a deep mountain rock, which is very hard. To think this arrow condensed with spiritual qi will able to pierce it." Yanyu muttered, " At least you have some consideration." Yanyu chuckled. She didn't thank Yang Shi as he was only repaying her favor.

To be honest, with the resources she had, getting a True grade weapon was easy as pie for her, but due to certain reasons, she had to use a low-tier weapon. Nonetheless, she was secretly happy for the new weapon. " Umm, I have another request for you." Yang Shi gave an awkward smile. " Knew it." Yanyu shouted in her mind. " I hope you can give me the two spirit stones of the commission." Yang Shi laughed shamelessly.
