Chapter 109: Blade, I Must Take It Away Today

Inside a cave dwelling built above the Earth Fire, the Grand Elder of Blacksmith Valley was staring at Chen Mu in front of her with a furious expression, roaring.

"What did you say? You want me to forge a kitchen knife?"

The Grand Elder’s name was Wang Tieshu. Although she was a woman, her figure was exceptionally tall and sturdy, to the point that even some body-refining martial artists couldn't compare to her.

She was wearing a floral martial arts outfit, her hair tied into two thick braids, and her square face was currently filled with rage.

She had heard the deacon say that a Divine Sword Peak disciple wanted to invite her to forge a divine weapon.

And this divine weapon was of great significance to Divine Sword Peak.

Considering the other party was a Dao One Sect disciple, and she herself had some history with Hong Zun, she agreed.

But when Chen Mu arrived and said what kind of divine weapon he wanted to forge, she was completely stunned.

I, the dignified Grand Elder of Blacksmith Valley, one of the few ninth-grade artifact refiners in Dongzhou, Wang Tieshu.

You actually want me to forge a kitchen knife, and it has to reach the level of a treasure weapon?

Are you damn sure you aren't joking? Your family’s kitchen knife needs to be a treasure weapon?

Staring fiercely at Chen Mu, her already tall and sturdy figure filled with pressure, Wang Tieshu gritted her teeth and said word by word.

"Kid, are you playing with me?"

Her first reaction was that Chen Mu was toying with her. To this, Chen Mu said with a serious face.

"This disciple would not dare. The facts are exactly as stated, and this kitchen knife is indeed of extraordinary significance to my Divine Sword Peak. What this disciple says is not half a lie."

Hearing this, Wang Tieshu gave a cold laugh.

"Extraordinary significance? Do you really think I’m easy to fool? You just said yourselves that you are called Divine Sword Peak, yet now you want me to forge a blade for you, and it’s a damn kitchen knife."

"What, is your Divine Sword Peak preparing to change from swords to blades? Are you going to become Kitchen Knife Peak in the future?"

She didn't believe Chen Mu at all. Seeing this, Chen Mu also got a bit anxious and quickly said.

"This disciple is absolutely not lying to the Grand Elder. This blade is truly of great use to my Divine Sword Peak."

"Enough nonsense. You can go. For the sake of Hong Zun, I won't hold today’s matter against you."

She had already started to chase him away. This old woman was convinced he was lying to her. Gritting his teeth, Chen Mu said.

"I have money."

"The Grand Elder can name her price. No matter the cost, my Divine Sword Peak can satisfy it."

If reason didn't work, he would use money to corrupt her.

But to this, Wang Tieshu gave a cold laugh.

"Money? Heh, do you think I’m short of that?"

As a ninth-grade artifact refiner, the people begging Wang Tieshu to forge divine weapons were like carp crossing a river.

And every divine weapon forged by Wang Tieshu, once placed in the outside world, was a target for countless people to fight over.

So, would Wang Tieshu care about money?

She wasn't short of all kinds of treasures. Now, forging divine weapons depended entirely on her own mood.

If she wasn't in the mood, no matter how much money, she wouldn't take action.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Chen Mu, without warning, knelt down with a *thump*.

The sudden action made even Wang Tieshu take half a step back, and then she said with a strange expression.

"I’m telling you, I don't buy this. Don't pull this on me."

To this, Chen Mu remained unmoved. The blade—he was definitely going to take it back today.

He carried the hopes of many brothers. If he failed, how could he have the face to go back and face them?

Looking at the strange-faced Wang Tieshu, Chen Mu said firmly.

"Grand Elder, this disciple begs the Grand Elder to take action and forge this divine weapon for my Divine Sword Peak."

"You don't need to say anything more. I won't take action."

"Consider it my Divine Sword Peak owing the Grand Elder a favor."

"I said, I won't agree."

"In the future, if the Grand Elder has any requests, my Divine Sword Peak will definitely help with all our might."

"Are you unable to understand human speech? I said I won't take action, I won't agree! I am a dignified ninth-grade artifact refiner, and you want me to forge a kitchen knife? If this gets out, do I still have any face?"

Being pestered by Chen Mu, Wang Tieshu was completely enraged, and she even let out her hometown dialect in her anxiety.

She was already short-tempered, and having explained so much with patience, Chen Mu still refused to give up, which completely set her off.

After a round of scolding, Wang Tieshu took a deep breath. After all, she was of the same generation as Hong Zun and had a reputation to maintain. Getting angry at a junior like this was indeed beneath her dignity.

Furthermore, Chen Mu could be considered Hong Zun’s disciple. For the sake of that old thing, she should stay calm.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she said.

"I’ll tell you one last time: it is impossible for me to forge a kitchen knife. No matter what price you offer or how many treasures you bring out, I will not agree. Do not continue to pester me."

"As for what just happened, I won't hold it against you. Now, get out of here. Understand?"

Seeing Wang Tieshu so determined, Chen Mu looked up at her, the firmness in his eyes not decreasing but increasing, and even a sense of resolution appeared.

"Does the Grand Elder truly not agree?"

"I don't agree, it’s impossible. Give up on this idea."

"Since that is the case, this disciple can only offend you. This blade, I, Chen Mu, must take it back today."

As he spoke, a stance of being ready to face death erupted from Chen Mu. Seeing this, Wang Tieshu was also taken aback. What does this kid mean?

"You........ what are you doing?"

This guy isn't normal. What does he want to do? For some reason, Wang Tieshu, whose cultivation was much higher than Chen Mu’s, felt inexplicably panicked.

Chen Mu showed no reaction to this, just slowly stood up, and after taking a deep look at Wang Tieshu, turned and walked out of the cave dwelling.

Seeing this, Wang Tieshu didn't feel any relief; on the contrary, she became even more nervous.

There’s a problem. This kid definitely has a problem. He must be harboring some evil intent.

But thinking it over, she still couldn't figure out what Chen Mu was going to do.

This is Blacksmith Valley, and she is the Grand Elder of Blacksmith Valley. Could a mere greenhorn turn the world upside down?

Unable to figure it out, she could only lock onto Chen Mu with a sliver of divine sense to see what he was actually going to do.

Walking out of the cave dwelling very calmly, Chen Mu suddenly stopped and took a deep breath, as if he were preparing for something.

Inside the cave, Wang Tieshu frowned. What is he doing?

Staring intently at Chen Mu’s every move, under Wang Tieshu’s divine sense lock, she saw Chen Mu tear his own clothes apart.

She became even more confused. Why is this kid tearing his clothes? However, in the next second, a shrill, incomparable voice sounded from Chen Mu’s mouth.

"Grand Elder, how could you do such a thing? I am still young! I don't want to be your boy toy!"

"Someone help! Save me! The Grand Elder, she........... she wants to do that to me............"

"Ah! I don't want to live anymore! I’ve preserved my innocence for over a hundred years, and it’s gone just like that! How can I face people in the future?"

"Holy crap! Kid, shut your mouth!"

Finally understanding what Chen Mu was going to do, Wang Tieshu gave a start, cursed angrily, and instantly rushed out of the cave dwelling.
