Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Chapter 233 - 162: Four Talents, Treasure Artifact Phenomenon!

Roar!

Amidst the rolling white mist, two defiant cries suddenly resounded. A three-zhang Flame Fire Eagle and a two-zhang Flame Fire Eagle intertwined, soaring skyward.

At this moment, the rhythmic hammering from all forging rooms within the Forging Workshop abruptly ceased, and all Blacksmiths widened their eyes, showing disbelief on their faces.

The next moment.

Everyone, as if by instinct, put down their hammers and rushed outside in haste.

They saw a massive fiery bird illusion spiraling upwards within a pillar of white light. Each flap of its crimson wings stirred up waves of heat, and its fierce screeches even made the continuous half-month drizzle shy away, retreating a few paces.

A clear space emerged around the enormous fiery bird, allowing long-lost sunlight to pour down.

The white light pillar and fiery bird anomaly not only startled the Blacksmiths of the Forging Workshop, but also caused the residents in the east of Qingyun City to pause their work, staring dazedly at the sky.

"Oh heavens... what is that?"

However, the fiery bird illusion appeared fast and dissipated just as swiftly. Many onlookers rubbed their eyes subconsciously in shock, thinking they had seen an illusion.

Cyan Cloud Avenue, Qingyun Government Office.

Inside the hall, a handsome man in his early thirties, dressed in a light green, embroidered official robe, Tao Xingzheng lifted his gaze skyward, a hint of surprise on his face.

"This is the anomaly of a Seventh-Grade Treasure Artifact... I underestimated the Forging Workshop. To think someone in small Qingyun could forge a Seventh-Grade Treasure Artifact. It seems not everyone in these Three Counties is worthless, ..."

Below the Third Grade are Treasure Artifacts, with the Seventh Grade being the pinnacle of Treasure Artifacts, capable of invoking certain Treasure Artifact anomalies upon completion. Higher than Treasure Artifacts is the Middle Third Grade, known as Dharma Artifacts, and in the Three Canglan Counties, forgers capable of creating Dharma Artifacts are exceptionally rare.

Forger capable of designing a Seventh-Grade Artifact, if nurtured, might become a Magical Artifact Forger in the future. Moreover, in this Qingzhou region, a decent Middle-Grade Dharma Artifact is even rarer and more valuable than a Martial Artist of the same grade.

However, the conversation abruptly halted as Tao Xingzheng noticed the anomaly disappearing in just a few breaths, and he quickly shook his head.

"It seems it failed, but since such skill exists, that matter can begin."

Tao Xingzheng’s mouth slightly curved upwards, a bit of roguishness appearing in his features under the official’s hat. If all goes well, after success, he could leave this harsh land and return to his family.

Murmuring to himself, Tao Xingzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, no longer looking at the east of Qingyun, but further east.

Outside the Hidden Dragon Forging Room, the three master craftsmen, Wu Lie, Chen Yuntian, and another gathered, pacing outside the forging room. The other Blacksmiths, unqualified, could only remain in the outer area, anxiously waiting, as gazes landed on the tightly closed doors of the Hidden Dragon Forging Room.

"Could this be the anomaly of a Seventh-Grade Treasure Artifact... that kid Su is truly a monster, a real monster!"

At this moment, the three master craftsmen’s expressions slightly changed, then revealed regret as they noticed the anomaly lasted less than three breaths, possibly an unexpected mishap.

Inside the Hidden Dragon Forging Room, Su Mu reached out and took the Great Spear and Long Saber.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The spear shaft glimmered with crimson light like a dragon, with the original flame cloud pattern now clearer, every detail vivid. As the Great Spear trembled in his hand, three shrunken Flame Fire Eagle Feather Patterns appeared, although the third was incomplete compared to the first two.

In contrast to the Great Spear, the Long Saber’s luster was noticeably dimmer. The blade also had three Grade-Entering Patterns, but the third was only half an inch, like a fire seed extinguished.

"The Great Spear is nearly Seventh-Grade... the Long Saber stronger than ordinary Eighth-Grade."

Su Mu’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, with an undeniable look of joy on his face.

His original plan was to forge the Great Spear to Eighth-Grade, not expecting both the spear and saber to simultaneously reach Eighth-Grade.
