Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 324 - 131: Observing Fire, Melted Gold, Listening to Iron, Fetal Movement, Spirit Communication, Heavenly Smell

Chapter 324: Chapter 131: Observing Fire, Melted Gold, Listening to Iron, Fetal Movement, Spirit Communication, Heavenly Smell

The flow of metal in molten iron makes different sounds, and the Seventh Grade [Weapon Casting Skill] requires listening to these sounds, then using a hammer to integrate them more perfectly.

Early October, [Weapon Casting Skill (Seventh Grade)] (160/160).

On this day, Cui Santong did not provide him with the subsequent Sixth Grade Skills.

Because there were no more subsequent skills in the Cui Family.

Those skills were in Master Zhu’s mind.

When Li Yuan returned to the mountain at the end of October, Master Zhu’s expression was quite peculiar when he looked at him.

"I’ve never seen anyone with such talent as you, neither I nor Gong Lang have such talent..."

He finished speaking with a long sigh, then... his gaze turned fervent.

Next, he paced back and forth in front of Li Yuan, suddenly burst into laughter skyward, then calmed down and said, "How did you convince Huayin?"

Li Yuan said, "She likes poetry, and I happen to know a little.

She stayed in the courtyard for more than six years, and someone had to take her out." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Master Zhu’s solemn face became even more solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "But you two are in an arranged marriage."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "She seems noble, melancholic, but she is like a little girl with many heavy thoughts. I think I can give way to her, humor her... Fortunately, I am good at writing poetry, and she really likes my poems."

Master Zhu slightly lowered his head; actually, he had already inquired about these news. As he listened to the man in front of him say these words, he felt that the world could not find a better match.

He remained silent for a long time, then placed his hand on Li Yuan’s shoulder, his tiger eyes slightly red, his Adam’s apple moving, and said, "Take good care of her."

He then added, "If she asks you to avenge her mother, don’t bother with it... just say... this matter is not for you to handle. I will write a letter explaining this matter, which you can use at a critical moment to give to her."

Avenge her mother?

Li Yuan’s expression shifted slightly...

This... it even comes with causal attachments?

"What revenge?" he asked.

Seeing his extraordinary talent, Master Zhu had already regarded him as a son-in-law and did not conceal it, leading him to the edge of a less populated cliff and said, "A person from the Jing Baikou family, named Jing Yunhe, is the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Jing Family...

At that time, I was merely a son-in-law in the Cui Family, not having comprehended the True Intent of Weapon Forging, wandering everywhere.

And Jing Yunhe was a lecherous playboy.

The events that followed were beyond my belief.

During an outing, Jing Yunhe actually harassed my wife.

The Cui Family didn’t do much about it, just a ’compensate and apologize, drink three penalty glasses’ and it was brushed aside.

And my wife, unable to bear the humiliation and ridicule, poisoned herself.

After a brief silence, Master Zhu said, "This is also the reason Huayin’s temperament changed drastically later; her intentions are clear to me. She wants to rise high, return home in glory, make the Cui Family regret, and the Jing Family pay for blood debts blood for blood.

I tell you all this only to let you know... Huayin too once had innocent and carefree moments. If in the future she accidentally angers you, for the sake of this past, give her some leeway."

Next, Master Zhu let out a long sigh, then smiled again, looking at Li Yuan and said, "Good son-in-law, come with me... let me pass down the subsequent Dharma Gate to you."

...

...

"The reason Weapon Casting Skill is difficult is that every step requires reaching the absolute peak.

If not for great talent and insight, one cannot enter at all."

"In fact, the Weapon Casting Skill passed down in my lineage, during the Ninth, Eighth and Seventh Grades, does not differ much from other lines.

It is at the Sixth Grade that it begins to differ."

"Ninth Grade is Observing Fire, Eighth Grade is Melted Gold, Seventh Grade is Listening to Iron... And before truly learning the subsequent skills, you need to merge these three into one, reaching the true absolute peak.

This absolute peak is called Fetal Movement.

You need to hear traces of life from the lifeless metal, just like a newborn fetus gently moving in the iron embryo..."

Master Zhu taught meticulously.

Li Yuan said, "But metals don’t have life."

Master Zhu said, "That’s true.

Therefore, this is an imagination, a visualization.

Metals don’t have life, but you have life.

So you observe fire, and the fire becomes its blood;

You melt gold, and the gold becomes its organs;

You listen to iron, and you hear not only that wisp of breath but also increasingly clear fetal movements.

Only by projecting your own visualization into that lifeless metal can you, in the future, imbue that trace of Source Blood perfectly into the Blood Crystal when forging Spiritual Artifacts, allowing that soulless yet fleshy metal to give birth to a wisp of spiritual nature.

Otherwise, it is impossible to achieve.

Puppet Masters engrave the veins, those veins are their great secret.

For us Weapon Forgers, listening to the fetal movement is our great secret.

Hearing the fetal movement is the absolute peak of the Seventh Grade, and from here, one can utilize Blood Gold Crystal to forge Sixth Grade Weapons.

Spirit Communication is the Sixth Grade.

Heavenly Smell is the Fifth Grade.

If you can perform Spirit Communication, you can go on to forge Fifth Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

As for Heavenly Smell, I have stayed in this deep mountain for so long, and I have not made any progress, thinking it’s just a hypothesis in our inheritance."
