Chapter 1167: A Little Benefit Is Nothing
Yu Hongdou believed he could forge the greatest Treasure Sword in the world.
But reality dealt him a harsh slap in the face.
Every Sword that passed through his hands lacked a certain something. According to Mister Lan, what was missing was qi, and the problem lay with him.
Mister Lan's words were cryptic, and Yu Hongdou didn't fully understand them. The general gist was that his own qi clashed with the sharp qi of the blade, which was why every Sword he crafted fell slightly short.
He had considered giving up, but Mister Lan told him, "My affinity is wood, just like yours. It naturally clashes with fire and metal. So why do the Swords I forge have no obvious flaws?"
Those words reignited Yu Hongdou's confidence.
He spent years hammering away, striving to comprehend the secret within.
Just as he sat down to rest, Mister Lan walked in.
"Little Hongdou, someone is here to see you."
