Chapter 671 - 316: Fang Xiaomu Wielding the Sickle! _2
Chapter 671: Chapter 316: Fang Xiaomu Wielding the Sickle! _2
Jiang Weng is at least an Intermediate Forging Spirit Grandmaster, and he may have already reached the advanced level.
The conclusion reached by Jiang Weng certainly wouldn’t be wrong!
The leaders of various forces did not find it strange that Jiang Weng and Huang Yuan were involved together.
At a glance, Jiang Weng seemed to be looking for opportunities with his grandson, and he could not possibly bring his grandson to venture into a large ancient battlefield.
Forging Spirit Grandmasters are unlike Grandmaster Creators, each of them possesses immense strength.
Protecting himself is already difficult for Jiang Weng, let alone ensuring his grandson’s safety in an ancient battlefield!
It was a wise decision for Jiang Weng to stay in the Royal Court, enjoying the best treatment with his grandson.
Yin Qingzhi stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Weng, and spoke.
“Respects to Grandmaster Jiang Weng from Qingzhi.”
“Old Tang is unsure about this ancient book, I hope you can lend a hand!”
Those Spirit Forging Masters summoned by Huang Yuan were ignored entirely.
With a Forging Spirit Grandmaster present, where does a Spirit Forging Master find the privilege to interrupt!?
If a Forging Spirit Grandmaster was unable to ascertain something, could a Spirit Forging Master determine it, then!?
Fang Mu initially planned to meet Jiang Weng and Jiang Tuo before entering the large ancient battlefield, and they would enter together.
But, upon considering Jiang Weng’s situation, Fang Mu immediately changed his decision.
Jiang Weng had sought help from all able forces, and all large forces believed that Jiang Weng would not venture into a large ancient battlefield.
This made Jiang Weng joining his team exceedingly abrupt.
It would be better for Jiang Weng to enter the ancient battlefield with other forces.
With the Communication Butterfly in Jin Ya’s hands, giving one to Jiang Weng meant Fang Mu would have an extra spy.
This indicated that Fang Mu had three parties on this large ancient battlefield.
Liu Xi was maintaining many Beast Controlling Forces, giving Fang Mu a significant amount of maneuvering space.
Jiang Weng had already coordinated with Huang Yuan before arriving, and he had guessed from Huang Yuan’s previous actions that Huang Yuan belonged to Fang Mu’s camp.
Liu Xi merely told Jiang Weng to investigate the ancient book casually, inducing everyone to believe that the book is genuine.
But he was advised not to directly comment on the authenticity of the ancient book.
Liu Xi had the intention of testing Jiang Weng’s caliber by this.
Jiang Weng’s thoughts had always centred around Jiang Tuo, he hadn’t paid attention to this ancient book at all.
Now that this ancient book had perplexed Tang Hui, Jiang Weng started to grow curious about the book.
After going through the book, Jiang Weng felt his mind stirred, yet he remained stoic.
Jiang Weng had always claimed to be an Intermediate Forging Spirit Grandmaster, but he had actually touched the level of an Advanced Forging Spirit Grandmaster.
Only matching high-level Sequential Beast Spirits and energy circuits was falling a bit short.
At first glance, Jiang Weng thought the book was authentic, but the more he looked, the more he sensed something off.
Jiang Weng had received this kind of ancient book recording the internal resource distribution of ancient battlefields, and he had helped his employer imitate them.
Jiang Weng put in a lot of effort into this.
Jiang Weng realized that those books were all disjointed somehow.
This incoherence was not due to the inability of the Spirit Forging Master who created the book, but to the book not being created in one stroke.
Creating a part of it from time to time would give the book a pronounced disjointed feel.
However, this book was too “smooth”, as though it was created in one breath.
Moreover, the paper used in this book fell slightly short in “stickiness”.
A special “stickiness” bestowed on the paper by time itself, was unique to the course of years.
It fooled Tang Hui up to 95%, but it couldn’t fool him.
Of course, it’s possible that he had been overly sensitive due to not having touched such a book in so long, leading to his perception of errors.
But when both suspicions pointed to his ancient book, Jiang Weng could confirm that this book was a counterfeit.
Those who could fool him must be Advanced Forging Spirit Grandmasters like himself, at least.
Huang Yuan asked him to direct that the book was genuine, implying that Huang Yuan really knew that it was a counterfeit.
He was also told not to comment on the authenticity of the book, as it seemed he wanted to preserve his reputation.
This somewhat moved Jiang Weng!
It seemed that the power he was loyal to did not treat him badly and was careful to preserve his reputation!
Jiang Weng felt as though he was standing at the center of a whirlpool.
Jiang Weng always resisted all unstable factors, but now he had to shoulder this duty.
This could also count as showing his loyalty to Fang Mu.
Jiang Weng returned the ancient book to Tang Hui.
“I also can’t tell whether it is genuine. It could either be a fake or real.”
“The world is full of virtuous people, where there are saintly Creators, there are also saintly Forging Spirit Grandmasters.”
“An ancient book imitated by a saintly Forging Spirit Grandmaster could indeed mix up the real with the fake.”
“I share the same view as Tang Hui!”
As he said this, Jiang Weng’s gaze fell on Tang Hui, and he nodded to him.
All, including Yin Qingzhi, thought that Jiang Weng said this to save face for Tang Hui.
Saintly Forging Spirit Grandmaster!?
The concept of the Saintly Forging Spirit Grandmaster was proposed over 200 years ago.
Back then, Teng Hai Master made three Sequential Spiritual Instruments consecutively, using the Beast Spirits from a Sequential Beast
Many Forging Spirit Grandmasters began to speak of Teng Hai Master as a Saintly Forging Spirit Grandmaster.
About knowing this, at the World Forging Spirit Grandmaster Conference, which was organized by the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, Teng Hai Master modestly proposed:
Only those who have successfully made the spiritual instrument with Beast Spirits of Sequential and above have the right to be called a Saintly Forging Spirit Grandmaster.
