Treasure Hunting

Chapter 47 Booklet On Weapon Refining

"So these kinds of weapons exist in this world. That's great!" Zachary scratched his chin and then asked with great interest, "Mimi, since this hand bone is a special material for refining weapons, it is possible to forge a powerful weapon from it, right? I am wondering if the Treasure-hunting System can forge a weapon for me,"

"Because the system has only been repaired by one percent, it can't forge weapons at its current state. However, the system can provide the necessary equipment needed for weapon refining," Mimi responded.

"So the system has this capability, but it cannot be used right now?" Zachary rolled his eyes helplessly and sighed. It was rare for him to look forward to something, but he did not expect that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"Are there any weapon refiners in the Welkin Sect who can help refine my weapon?" Zachary asked, hoping that the reply would be favorable.

"No. The Welkin Sect has no one who is capable of that special task. But your master Anne is also a highly-skilled weapon refiner. Her Ice Needle is one of the most powerful weapons known," Mimi replied.

Zachary carefully put away the Blazing Egg, and then headed for the Living-dead Tomb with the hand bone as soon as he heard Mimi's reply.

"Master Anne, your dear disciple is here!" Zachary called out as he rushed into the Living-dead Tomb and went straight into Anne's room, but she was not there.

"That's strange. Where did she go?" Zachary looked around the tomb, and then he heard the sound of water coming from a chamber not far from where he was. His eyes brightened up. "Is Anne taking a

bath now?" he whispered to himself in great excitement. Hoping to catch a glimpse of Anne's beautiful naked body, he headed to the place where he heard the flowing water.

Zachary passed through an arch, and he was surprised to find a natural hot spring that flowed in the depths of the Living-dead Tomb. In the middle of white steamy mist stood a graceful figure looking like a goddess floating among the clouds. The water concealed the lower part of her body, showing only her white and smooth back, which looked rosy red and inviting!

Zachary gulped involuntarily as he stared at the figure. He wanted to get to the middle of the pool and drink all the water so that he could see the full glory of the naked body in front of him.

But before he could have a good look, the figure disappeared. The next thing that Zachary knew was the sensation of a cold needle against the back of his neck.

"Master Anne, I didn't mean to peep at you. Why didn't you close the door when taking a bath? It's not my fault!" Zachary pleaded.

"Ahh, it's you. I thought it was someone else!" Anne said in a soft and calm voice. The Ice Needle against the back of Zachary's neck withdrew right away.

"Master Anne, I thought you'd kill me because I peeped at you while you were taking a bath. It seems that it is safer for me to shout 'I've come to peep' next time..." Zachary breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you adore my body so much, I'll let you appreciate it to your heart's content. After all, it's just an external thing that will eventually decay and disappear," Anne said in a direct and emotionless tone.

And since Zachary was a very energetic man, he would not let an opportunity like this to pass by. So as soon as he heard Anne's words, he turned around expecting the full naked beauty of Anne to be right there for him to feast on and enjoy. However, when he turned around, his heart sank in disappointment

when he saw that Anne was already wearing a fairy white robe. Nothing was left of the tempting scene, but the fleeting images left in Zachary's mind.

"Master Anne, you're cheating!" Zachary said in a disappointed tone.

"Why are you looking for me?" Anne asked, ignoring Zachary's complaint.

"Oh, I'm here to ask whether you know how to refine weapons," Zachary asked.

"Do you want to refine your own weapon?" Anne asked with a frown.

"I accidentally found the hand bone of a warrior of Holy Level. It is said to be a material of Rare Level for refining weapons..." Zachary handed over the hand bone to Anne. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Anne took it and examined it carefully. At length, she nodded and said, "This is indeed the hand bone of a warrior of Holy Level, and it is quite unique. Normally, it is impossible for an ordinary warrior's bone to reach such a level. How did you get it?"

Then Zachary told her the story of how he found the hand bone in the Burial Forest.

"It sounds to me that you were destined to find the hand bone," Anne said in a serious tone. She then paused as if considering something before she spoke once more. "Although the hand bone is a material of Rare Level for refining weapons, it will be a great waste if it is only used to refine a weapon of Mortal Level with your current strength!"

"What about refining a weapon of Earth Level? I will soon reach the Earth Level, anyway," Zachary answered.

"That will also be a waste of this rare material. I suggest you keep this hand bone and start to refine it when you reach the Sage Level. I can refine a weapon at the Sage Level for you," Anne promised.

"The Sage Level? How long do I need to wait before I reach that level? Please be kind and tell me that there is another option. I'd like to make full use of this precious material without wasting it and without waiting too long." Zachary felt that he did not want to wait that long. After all, with the help of the Treasure-hunting System, he could get whatever he wanted in the future, so it was unnecessary to waste his precious time.

"If you are willing to learn weapon refining skills, I can forge an upgradable weapon for you now, and then you can upgrade it yourself later," Anne said after she carefully considered all the possible options.

"You mean that the weapon can be upgraded into higher levels later?" Zachary was a little surprised. He never expected that something like this was possible.

"Only an OH weapon can be upgraded to higher levels. MH weapons can be easily damaged during regular use; thus, they cannot be upgraded anymore. You have to understand that only three weapon refiners in the entire Supernal Continent can create upgradable OH weapons," Anne said. A slightly arrogant smile crossed her lips as she stared at the hand bone.

"And you are one of the three highly-skilled weapon refiners, aren't you?" Zachary asked his master.

"Me? I suppose I don't really belong to this era," Anne answered vaguely. She took out a book and handed it to Zachary. "I have written this booklet on weapon refining. It's a booklet containing all the weapons that I have refined as well as my own insights on each of them. You can take this booklet, read through it and learn from it. The amount of knowledge you can learn from this booklet depends entirely on your own comprehensive ability. To learn the secrets of weapon refining, you need to focus on practice. If you are patient enough, I am sure you will make great progress."

"Thank you, Master Anne," Zachary replied. He carefully took the booklet with a look of great enthusiasm and gratitude.

"Well, you can go now. Remember to come back in seven days!" Anne then took the hand bone and left.

Seeing Anne leave and then looking back at the glistening hot spring, Zachary started to think of erotic scenes in his mind. 'When can I take a bath together with her?' he thought to himself excitedly.

After leaving the system, Zachary went back to the cave filled with the corpses of martial beasts. The cave was quite safe, so he didn't leave. He decided to stay in the cave to cultivate while he waited for the end of the trial.

Zachary initially planned to refine the Blazing Egg. But since he was not far away from reaching the Earth Level, he decided that it would be better to refine it after he reached that level, for he would reap better benefits if he had higher strength.
