I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 146: Go for a walk

The weapons displayed on each weapon rack exuded an extremely sharp aura.

This aura even made Li Dahu feel a chill run down his spine, as if he could be chopped into pieces at any moment!

The unremarkable steel knife at Li Dahu's waist is called "First Blade," a genuine near-sacred-grade treasure knife. The reason it's not a true sacred-grade knife is because the "soul" of these divine weapons and magical artifacts needs to be nurtured.

His initial skill was developed during the nurturing process.

Only when the spirit of the weapon has been nurtured and developed can it unleash its greatest power.

Therefore, Li Dahu's treasured sword can only be considered "above the Heavenly Grade, below the True Saint Grade". Treasures of the True Saint Grade are rare and scarce. Without entering the Mahayana stage, it is very difficult to use a divine weapon or magic artifact of the True Saint Grade. Using it is actually dangerous, because there is no guarantee that someone more powerful might kill and steal it.

In the present world, no matter what level a master craftsman is, even if he can forge a supreme treasure of the Emperor grade, he must go through the "soul-nurturing" stage in order to make the treasure complete.

And these weapons in front of Li Dahu...

Apart from those few unremarkable Heaven-grade weapons, the rest, whether Saint-grade or Emperor-grade, all possessed incredibly powerful weapon spirits!

The precious sword at his waist was now trembling, exuding an aura of fear and humility!

The First Blade is afraid!

Inside Gu Heng's dilapidated hut, there are several spirit artifacts that even Gu Heng fears, radiating an aura of dominance over the world!

Weapon spirits can devour each other. "First Blade" felt as if it was about to be destroyed by an even more powerful weapon spirit.

"This... Brother Gu, there's something special hidden inside your little house, haha..."

Li Dahu was covered in cold sweat, but he could still manage to keep grinning foolishly.

This small clinic is full of brilliant minds.

"Ah, it's just a humble abode, not worth mentioning."

Gu Heng gave a curt reply.

He hasn't had time to properly tidy up the little house or renovate it yet. He's been in Yunling City for over a month and has been very busy every day, so it's accumulated a lot of dust.

However, Li Dahu doesn't seem to care about such small details.

He's rugged.

"Brother Li, I see that the knife at your waist is quite old and worn. Anyway, we've had a very pleasant conversation. If you see any knife in this room that catches your eye, just take it!"

Gu Heng pointed to the rows of weapon racks and said to Li Dahu with great pride.

This fellow Li is a rough and honest man with a straightforward personality. Gu Heng likes this kind of person. There's no need to beat around the bush when chatting, which is very comfortable!

Moreover, he enjoys practicing with a knife.

Then I'll give him one!

Li Dahu was terrified.

Especially after Gu Heng said those words, these Saint-grade and Emperor-grade weapon spirits seemed to know that they were going to have a new master, and they all unleashed their most intense invisible malevolent power, pressing down on Li Dahu!

It's as if everyone's saying, "You little punk, you think you're worthy of choosing me?"

Or it could be, "Pick me! Pick me! I don't want to stay on this shelf collecting dust anymore!" This has left him sweating profusely.

How could he possibly accept that?

These powerful and fierce divine weapons are all sentient beings!

If the spirit of the weapon is incompatible with oneself and cannot be suppressed, then... one will be devoured and die.

There are quite a few cultivators in this world who have been harmed by the backlash of their own weapons.

The ways they died were all ridiculous.

He repeatedly declined, saying, "No, no, I just came to visit your house, Brother Gu. How could I dare accept such a valuable gift from you!"

Although he knew Gu Heng must have some treasures, Li Dahu dared not accept them as gifts.

"Precious? These things are hardly precious. It's fate that we met. Now that we've met, I hope you won't look down on my humble appearance, Brother Li." Gu Heng rolled his eyes.

These weapons wouldn't sell for even ten taels of silver; it's a good thing he acquired such a large quantity to increase his "forging" proficiency.

His knives were decent, but compared to the ones he made himself, they were neither good-looking nor practical.

Anyway, these things will have to be cleared out sooner or later. If they can't be sold, then just give them away.

Give it to someone you find pleasing to the eye.

However, Gu Heng also considered that Li Dahu might be used to a hard life and might not be used to receiving gifts suddenly. Therefore, Gu Heng felt that he should take the initiative.

So he chose a rather rugged yet sharp purple-gold broadsword and shoved it into Li Dahu's hand!

"Take it! Don't be shy, consider it a small gift from me."

Li Dahu: "..." Seeing that Gu Heng was determined to do so, Li Dahu hesitated for a long time before finally reaching for the knife.

"Om-"

When Li Dahu touched the purple-gold broadsword, he immediately felt an overwhelming aura emanating from it!

His heart trembled violently.

On the scabbard, Gu Heng had also engraved his name – "Madness".

Hmm, Brother Gu, you've chosen a great name!

The spirit of this sword is one of those who just said, "You dare to choose me?"

That's really impressive!

However, perhaps Brother Gu deliberately suppressed the spirit's resentment, which is why it seems quiet now.

It seems he genuinely wanted to give me this precious sword.

Faced with such a kind gesture, Li Dahu chuckled and said, "Alright, since Brother Gu says so, it would be pretentious of me to refuse! I won't stand on ceremony with you, so I'll shamelessly accept this generous gift."

He treasured it like a precious gem and carried "Madness" on his back.

However, his original "first blade" is now very quiet, seemingly quite frustrated...

Gu Heng shook his head: "Between you and me, there's no need for formalities!"

Gu Heng has always liked straightforward people who say one thing and do another, and those who are not easy to get close to.

The two chatted for another half hour before Li Dahu finally said goodbye and left.

"Brother Gu, until we meet again."

……

After Li Dahu left, Gu Heng was left standing alone in the room. He looked at the dusty weapons, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"Brother Li is right... It's time for me to go somewhere else and relax properly."

he muttered.

Li Dahu's words had made him think for a long time.

I seem to have been in this clinic for quite a while now, more than a month, and I've hardly ever left. In fact, I've only left Yunling City once.

Because of the "Swift Boots," Gu Heng travels far without any effort, so over time, he has become less enthusiastic about going on long trips.

However, Gu Heng changed his mind.

Indeed, one shouldn't stay in the clinic all the time; it's easy to get sick from being cooped up.

This is a psychological problem. A psychological problem naturally needs a change of environment to heal, and it will get better.
