I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 438 - 45: Return and Store Refresh (Part 2)

"Is there a problem?"

Gu Mo looked at the silent old swordsmith across from him and asked with a bright smile.

"No, no, no! No problem! Absolutely no problem..." Todouji shook his head rapidly like a rattle, and said with an earnest tone, "May I ask what kind of sword you want to forge?"

"Like this..."

The young man on the opposite side said, reaching out lightly into the hot air, as if pulling from the void a radiant, purely light-structured, resplendent snake-shaped sword.

This was created using Projection Magic to form a vessel, then utilizing the Skills of the Ninety-nine Weapons to reveal its form... It was not a weapon in the ordinary sense, but a manifestation of the essence of Power.

"This, this is..."

Todouji couldn't help but widen his eyes—though it seemed hard to see this action with his eyes.

"I want to forge a Demon Blade that can carry its spirituality and power..." Gu Mo said seriously. He certainly wasn't using the White Viper to forge a blade, but wanted to forge a blade for the White Viper, to better house and bear the power of the White Snake God.

Because after repeatedly using the Nine-tailed Fox Power and undergoing Demonization, his body had changed somewhat, and it was currently not so suitable for the White Viper's power to attach itself. After all, the nature of the Power of the Guardian Spirit is different, and mutual repulsion is normal.

So after serious consideration, he thought following the previous concept would work, for it was always about seeking inwardly with the Nine-tailed, while the White Viper sought outwardly... He could perhaps forge a Demon Blade specially to carry the power of the White Snake God.

"I, I can give it a try..."

A burning light flashed in Todouji's eyes. If he agreed to forge the sword earlier out of pressure, now, hearing the detailed explanation and requirements, he was eager to challenge this task.

A swordsmith naturally most hopes to forge renowned blades. He doesn't want to forge swords for just anyone, fearing a pile of junk produced by his hand.

Rare Demonic Blades are not easy to forge. Many random people come looking but can't provide him with the opportunity to forge a fine sword, nor can they provide basic materials... but this opportunity before him was evidently one he had waited for.

An opportunity allowing Todouji to challenge his old peak.

Perhaps another Cloudy Fang...

This thought flashed in his mind as the old swordsmith looked at the Demon Sword on the young man's waist, a blade unlike most current Demon Blades, forged to house an Evil Spirit... but unlikely, as the Snake God's Spirit just revealed also confirmed.

Absolutely not like the Evil Spirit from the Demon Dragon Spirit in the Cloudy Fang.

"That's good then. I have some materials here, if they can be used... if anything is still missing, you can mention it, and I'll see if there's a way. If it's too troublesome, let's not demand perfection." Gu Mo seriously sorted through, the various materials that had been accumulating finally finding some use.

And they weren't all low-level materials dropped by minor creatures, but included those from Kaguya's level and recent drops from the Four Fighting Gods.

Don't underestimate the latter, in fact, they were Great Demons, otherwise, they couldn't have conquered Penglai Island. Just robbed by Naoki of their essence, barely hanging on, their power and existence gradually faded, by the time of true death, they had already thoroughly decayed, naturally leaving little behind.

But the materials dropped were of passable quality.

Todouji nodded absentmindedly, his gaze still firmly fixed on the radiant sword in Gu Mo's hand...

"By the way, let me ask first, about how long will it take to forge the sword I want..."

Gu Mo asked seriously.

Todouji hesitated initially, then came to his senses and pondered earnestly: "I can't say for sure, renowned blades aren't born easily. I hope to create a perfect piece; the time... let's set it for ten years, how does that sound?"

"Sharpen the sword for ten years? That works." The young man across mused for a moment, then nodded.

Anyway, it wouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't exceed five hundred years because the Bone-Devouring Well can accelerate this forging process. As long as Todouji can deliver a satisfactory work, it shouldn't be an issue.

......

...

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Unbeknownst to many, time finally arrived on this day, at a moment deep in the night, a change occurred in the world, though not everyone could perceive it.

"The Jade... disappeared?"

In an unknown place, a Great Demon with a diamond-bodied form looked up at the starry night sky, speaking in an ancient voice of this doubt, then lowered its head, its skull-like head with hollow eye sockets staring directly at a pink fragment in its hand.

As a Great Demon born from Gemstone spirit communication, all of Treasure Immortal Ghost's power is related to jade stones. Thus, after acquiring a fragment of the Four Souls Jade a while ago, it could easily decipher the secrets of the shattered jade and even clearly sense the whereabouts of other fragments through the piece in its hand.

Its lifespan was nearing its end, and it also read from the Four Souls Fragment in its hand the thoughts of the Jade—it couldn't allow the complete Jade to reappear, or it would bring disaster.
