Chapter 176 No need to retire, my Xu

Seven days later, Gongsun Ce set out to return to Xianyang.

After little Mimi incubated the eggs for seven days and seven nights without sleep, the python's eggs showed no sign of hatching.

If Gongsun Ce had not used his true energy to sense the vigorous vitality in the snake eggs.

Gongsun Ce might think that the snake eggs had been hatched to death by Xiao Mimi.

Just after returning to the Taiwei Mansion, Gongsun Ce had not yet got off the carriage, and Gongsun Yan ran towards Gongsun Ce's bronze carriage with his short legs.

Gongsun Ce got off the carriage and picked up Gongsun Yan, "Ah Yan, did you miss me?"

"Uh-huh……"

Gongsun Yan nodded frantically, but her gaze always lingered on the little dragon wrapped around Gongsun Ce's right hand.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and handed the little dragon to Gongsun Yan, "Be careful, it will bite."

However, the little dragon did not show any reaction when it fell into Gongsun Yan's hands.

It was obvious that whenever the women around Gongsun Ce approached Qiao Xiaolong, they would cause a reaction from Qiao Xiaolong, and they would not give up resisting until they were sure that they had Gongsun Ce's scent.

Gongsun Yan grabbed Qiao Xiaolong and started running wildly, letting out a series of laughs.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ah Yan, run slower, don't fall, huhu..."

Gongsun Ce looked at Honglian who was jogging towards him, and he seemed to see the shadow of a college student with a child through Honglian.

"Little Red Flower, why are you looking at Ah Yan? Jing Wei?"

Honglian took a few breaths and spoke after her breathing became even, "Sister Jingwei is in the process of breaking through and is still in seclusion, so we will take turns to look after Ah Yan."

Gongsun Yan only recognized Gongsun Ce and Jing Wei in the beginning, but now he can let other people watch him, which is a great improvement.

Gongsun Ce looked at Gongsun Yan's happy back and always felt that Qiao Xiaolong treated Gongsun Yan as his own kind. Gongsun Ce shook his head helplessly.

As long as the children are happy.

Time flies quickly. Two months have passed in the blink of an eye and it is almost the Spring Festival.

Gongsun Ce, who was at home sublimating his master's spirit, received a message from Master Xu.

The dragon scale sword has been forged.

Moreover, the Yuanhong sword is about to be completed. It only needs a person who has killed too many people as a sacrifice, and then the Yuanhong sword will be completely completed.

Gongsun Ce already has a candidate for this person who has killed too many people - Yinfu.

The hidden bat was practicing the Bat Blood Technique, a strange and bizarre killing technique that had been passed down in secret in southern Xinjiang for many years.

When practicing, bat blood needs to be injected into the body and circulated to the meridians throughout the body.

Every time he kills a person and drinks all his blood, his skills will improve by one point. If he does not drink blood for a day, he will age by one point.

It feels somewhat similar to Bai Yifei's family bloodline power, but also different.

Bai Yifei is very picky about food and only uses pure girls.

The hidden bats, on the other hand, accept everyone who comes to them. They kill people and drink their blood.

Luowang's secret agents have been searching for the whereabouts of the hidden bat in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang.

The secret agent in the trap is a good food for the hidden bat, and he will definitely fall into the trap.

While thinking, Gongsun Ce had already entered Gongshujia's forge.

Gongsun Ce did not see Gongshu Chou and Master Ban arguing today, and the entire forge was somewhat quiet.

The siege equipment that Gongshu Jia created for the Qin State was directly provided with drawings and samples, and then produced on the Qin State assembly line.

The Qin State's military merit assembly line was somewhat similar to the brick-making of the Great Wall. The parts on the drawings were numbered, and someone was specifically responsible for making or assembling a certain part.

Once a problem occurs in any link, the other party will be held directly accountable.

It can only be said that it is very mechanized, but also very convenient. From the discovery of a problem to the solution of the problem, it is estimated that it will not take more than two hours, that is, one hour.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."

Gongsun Ce stepped into the secret room where Madam Xu and Master Xu forged swords, and then the long sword hanging above the pool began to "jingle".

Master Xu was wiping a sword at this time. When the swords made a sound, he looked up in surprise, only to see that it was Gongsun Ce.

These swords were considered failures in Master Xu's eyes, but they were also the long swords that Master Xu had spent a lot of effort to forge.

Under normal circumstances, all the swords would not collide with each other unless a grandmaster-level swordsman appeared.

In order for several swords to react, at least a master-level swordsman is needed.

However, three months ago, Gongsun Ce was not yet able to cause the clanging of many swords, and could not even cause the clanging of several long swords.

Unless Gongsun Ce had mastered the swordsmanship to the grandmaster level from scratch within three months, but how is this possible?

Master Xu shook his head and denied this guess in his heart, but he couldn't think of any other possibilities, so he could only suppress his emotions temporarily.

"Greetings, General Gongsun. This sword is ready. Please inspect it."

Gongsun Ce nodded and took the Dragon Scale Sword from Master Xu.

Gongsun Ce held the long sword and waved it gently for a moment, and he felt the extraordinaryness of the sword. As he waved it, it resonated faintly with the true energy in his body.

His heart was moved, and he exclaimed: "What a good sword!"

He carefully observed the long sword and saw faint dragon scale patterns on the sword body, and a crystal dragon scale inlaid on the sword guard. Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and slowly poured the true energy in his body into the dragon scale sword.

The dragon scale pattern on the sword suddenly became bright, as if a real dragon had awakened in the sword.

He felt a powerful force surging from the sword and resonating with his true energy. At the same time, Gongsun Ce discovered three dragon scales in the sword.

Gongsun Ce nodded, "Master Xu is indeed a man of great talent. Such a fantastic idea can be successful."

Master Xu shook his head, "I simply buried the dragon scales into the sword, and then I discovered that the four scales actually have different powers."

Gongsun Ce was shocked. "Master Xu, do you mean that this sword has four different properties?"

Master Xu nodded, "Yes, it does have four characteristics. This is something I have never heard of before. Please, General Gongsun, show me the power of this sword and let me broaden my horizons."

Indeed, most famous swords have at most one characteristic.

In addition to the blade of the sword-making material itself and the sharpness that the blade should have, it will only have one characteristic.

For example, the field of Yanri absorbing light, Jingwei's ability to amplify sword energy and make it extremely sharp, Xueji's ability to amplify magic...

However, the Dragon Scale Sword can possess four characteristics. Gongsun Ce guessed that it was because his dragon bloodline carried the bloodlines of the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Sky and Wind, the White King, and the Black King.

Several kinds of word spirits have the abilities of fire, wind, spirit and time.

So his dragon scales should contain these four powers, so the dragon scale sword should possess the corresponding powers.

As Gongsun Ce continued to inject his true energy, the Dragon Scale Sword suddenly made a roar like a dragon's roar, and the three dragon scales inside the sword resonated with Gongsun Ce's true energy.

Gongsun Ce felt a powerful force surging from the sword.

He swung his sword, and a sharp wind blade whizzed out from the tip of the sword, instantly cutting off a whetstone not far away.

Wherever the wind blade passed, it left a deep mark.

When Master Xu saw the power of the Dragon Scale Sword, he couldn't help but feel happy. Such power is enough to deserve the name of a famous sword, and even surpass it.

Gongsun Ce knew that the power of the Dragon Scale Sword was far more than that, so he continued his experiments.

Gongsun Ce swung his sword again, and a blazing flame burst out from the sword, instantly igniting the firewood not far away.

Wherever the flaming sword energy passed, it left a curtain of fire and the temperature in the air rose.

Gongsun Ce looked at the burning firewood and understood that the ability of the Dragon Scale Sword was indeed as he had guessed.

He continued to swing the sword, trying to explore more capabilities of the Dragon Scale Sword.

At this moment, he suddenly found that the sword was shaking slightly.

He was startled and quickly steadied the sword.

The dragon scale pattern on the sword lit up again, as if a mysterious power was surging in the sword.

Gongsun Ce's heart moved, he understood that this was the third ability of the Dragon Scale Sword - mental attack.

He grasped the hilt of the sword and merged his own inner energy with the power of the Dragon Scale Sword.

The dragon scale pattern on the sword suddenly became blurred, as if it had turned into a mist.

Gongsun Ce swung his sword, and an illusory sword shadow whizzed out from the tip of the sword.

Wherever the sword shadow passed, it left behind a trail of afterimages, as if countless long swords were attacking at the same time.

However, these afterimages are just illusions and have no actual attack capabilities. However, once Gongsun Ce mixes real sword energy into them, who can easily distinguish the true from the false?

Gongsun Ce looked at the illusion attack in front of him. The Dragon Scale Sword had already displayed three attack capabilities: fire, wind, and illusion.

Corresponding to the three dragon scales in the sword body, the dragon scales on the hilt should have the ability that has nothing to do with time.

He took a deep breath and slowly took back the true energy in his body.

He felt as if he had established a special connection with the Dragon Scale Sword and could control it at will.

Even without using the Eye of the Wind King or his true Qi, Gongsun Ce can still control the Dragon Scale Sword as if he were using sword-wielding technique.

"go with!"

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pointed at the empty space. With a command, the Dragon Scale Sword stabbed in that direction by itself until it pierced through the ground.

"Back!"

The Dragon Scale Sword pulled itself out of the ground and returned to Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce held the Dragon Scale Sword and asked Master Xu, "Where is the scabbard?"

Master Xu shook his head and said, “I have not yet made a scabbard for the Dragon Scale Sword.

Famous swords have spirits. Not only can they choose their own masters, but when no one is using them, they may occasionally generate sword energy on their own.

Therefore, the material of the scabbard must not only match the characteristics of the sword itself, but also be able to suppress the sword energy so that it does not leak out."

Gongsun Ce looked at the dragon scale sword in his hand and pondered for a moment, thinking of the snake bones of the basset snake.

"Master Xu, if it is the snake bone of the Basilisk, is it suitable as the scabbard of the Dragon Scale Sword?"

"Basilin?" Master Xu paused as he stroked his white beard and immediately pulled off a few strands of it. "But the Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Baslin was killed by Hou Yi?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Yes, I happened to encounter this snake when I went to Mount Shu."

"Roar!"

Master Xu was about to continue speaking when he heard a roar coming from deep within the sword-making workshop.
