1239: Chapter 1199: Top Casting Master 1239: Chapter 1199: Top Casting Master Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Lu Ziyang was instantly excited.
“Right!
This is Hei Jin City, the place is teeming with Casting Masters you couldn’t even count them all!”
“That’s great, go find a Casting Master then.
If you can reach some form of cooperation, that would be perfect!”
He remained extremely elated.
Lu Chuan continued to ask: “Do you know where the city’s expert Casting Masters are?
Especially the top-notch ones.”
“Well…
I haven’t been to Hei Jin City many times, so…
if you ask me, I wouldn’t really know what to tell you.”
Unable to do anything about it, Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “If that’s the case, then I can only ask Lu Qianying.
She’s a native and she’s bound to know something.”
Lu Chuan stood up, ready to leave.
He stepped out of the room and headed towards the main house.
Standing at the door, Lu Chuan raised his hand and knocked.
After a moment, Lu Qianying opened the door.
Having settled her disputes, her attire became much more relaxed, wearing a light blue dress that made even her smile soften considerably.
“Lu Chuan, you’re looking for me?
Have you had breakfast?
Why don’t you come in and eat something?”
“No thanks, I mainly came to ask you, do you know who the strongest Casting Master in the city is?”
She slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Lu Chuan with curiosity, “Casting Master?
The strongest?”
“Why are you asking about this?”
“I’m looking to learn some of their skills.
Having such powerful Divine Fire on me, I thought it would be good to utilize it in multiple ways.”
“Alright, but I need to warn you, the person I’m going to mention indeed is the city’s strongest Casting Master, however, our Lu family holds a grudge against him.”
“And it runs deep.”
Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed, “Really?
What exactly happened?
Tell me about it.”
“His name is Bai Qing, formerly the head Casting Master of the Divine Weapons Smithy.
“In the whole Hei Jin City, he’s one of the very top!”
“Even the second-ranking Casting Master doesn’t come close to touching the threshold of crafting Immortal Artifacts!”
“Bai Qing isn’t just touching the fringe of crafting Immortal Artifacts, occasionally he’d manage to create one by chance.”
“There was a time when Lu Qianyu was managing Lu Manor, a young member of our family demanded Bai Qing craft him a precious sword.”
“However, Bai Qing made a mistake that time; not only did he fail to craft an Immortal Artifact, but it wasn’t even worthy of being called a Heavenly Grade precious sword!”
“Enraged, that person slew Bai Qing’s son.”
Lu Chuan widened his eyes, “Just like that…
killed his son?”
“Bai Qing had three sons, so in that person’s eyes, killing one didn’t matter much, it was merely a punishment.”
Lu Chuan found this ridiculous, “So the former Lu Manor was a bit too insane, not treating people like humans at all.”
“Bai Qing really held himself back, if I were him, I’d definitely fight back!”
Lu Qianying shook her head helplessly, “Sadly, he didn’t have the capacity to do so.”
“Though he had the will, a Casting Master doesn’t have that kind of power, does he?”
“But he did resist, and the result?
That scion broke both his hands, ruining his career completely.”
“Now, he’s imprisoned in a dilapidated old house, barred from the outside world for life.”
“I sent someone to visit him a few days ago; he’s doing alright, alive and well, it’s just that his mood is deeply somber.”
Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “I see…
So now, is he still the strongest Casting Master?”
“He should be…
I suppose, his skill is the best, but with his hands gone, it’s hard to say.”
“If you can heal his hands, then there might still be a possibility.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see.
If that’s the case, I think I might be able to lend a hand, help him recover, and he should be able to return to his peak and resume his forging career.”
“Alright then, I’ll send someone to take you there, he’s inside the residence, just don’t mention his family when you meet him, it would sadden him.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I know, I’ll go have a look right away.”
…
Morning, the air is fresh, and the sunshine is brilliant.
The streets bustle with pedestrians, and the number of roadside vendors has increased.
The Lu family’s makeover is a great event for the entire city!
Lu Chuan arrived at an old ancient mansion led by a servant from the Lu Manor.
The dilapidated door, with its vermillion paint peeling off, creaked as he pushed it open and entered.
Lu Chuan pushed the door and walked in.
In the courtyard, there was only a yellowish, withered willow tree drooping down.
Under the tree, a figure sat, staring blankly into the distance.
Lu Chuan walked towards him.
He was dressed in white, but his expression was dull as if he had lost his wits.
“Is it you, Bai Qing?”
Lu Chuan came over and asked.
He turned his head to look, remaining silent even after seeing Lu Chuan.
“My name is Lu Chuan, do you know me?”
Upon hearing this, a change finally appeared on Bai Qing’s calm and rigid face.
His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Chuan, “You are Lu Chuan?
The one who killed Lu Qianyu?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“What business do you have coming to find me?”
“I want to confirm again, you are Bai Qing, right?”
He brushed his disheveled long hair aside and nodded earnestly, “Yes, I am Bai Qing.”
“Your hands, they can still be used, can’t they?”
Lu Chuan asked.
“Are you sure?
Take another look?”
He stretched out his hands which bore two shocking knife scars, nearly several inches long, winding on them like a couple of centipedes.
His arms were lifted, trembling uncontrollably, completely unmanageable.
With such hands, even sweeping the floor was a struggle.
Let alone expecting him to forge equipment, that was absolutely impossible.
“I have been recuperating for several years and have barely managed some recovery.”
“What do you want with me?”
“Although I don’t know you, I am grateful to you in my heart.
You killed those from the Lu family; you avenged me.”
He took a deep breath, his heart incredibly heavy.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan nodded helplessly and continued, “I have come to you for a simple reason: I am here for your forging skills.”
“Heh, casting skills…
I abandoned that many years ago; it has nothing to do with me anymore in this lifetime.”
Suddenly, he looked up and said, “However, I might take a few apprentices and pass my skills on.”
“Do you want to learn?”
Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “This kind of thing that requires more than a decade of dedicated study, I can’t undertake at the moment, I have more important matters to attend to.”
“So, my current objective is to find a capable Casting Master.
I will provide the flame, serving as an assistant to the casting, and together we’ll collaborate to create equipment.”
“Heh, if that’s the case, then never mind, I am no longer capable of that now!”
“Are you referring to the problem with your hands?
If your hands were to recover, could you start casting then?”
“Of course, with my hands in their current condition, it’s difficult even to pick up chopsticks, how could I handle steel?”
