Chapter 940 Tackling The Challenge.
Shi Lang decided that he was going to infuse Dao Laws into the spiritual weapon. However, he had no idea how that happened. The Dwarves took pride in this craft and they would not teach it to a human. If he wanted to learn, then he had only one option and that was to cheat.
However, as soon as he stepped in the place, he could sense a gaze locked onto his back. In reality, it was not a dwarf who was watching him but the Heaven forging pillar. The strong law of detection was radiating from that pillar and Shi Lang could sense that. Thus he had no option but to look for the alternative solution.
He decided to spend money on weapons. Shi Lang went to the market and entered the most derelict shop that he could find. As he entered the place, he was overwhelmed by the wave of darkness bursting from the inside.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"

The only reason he asked such a question was because of the clanging sounds coming from the inside of the shop. As soon as he spoke, the sound stopped and a few heavy footsteps echoed in the place. Shi Lang could tell that a dwarf was coming over. The curtains parted and a hunched figure walked out.
Shi Lang saw that the man looked quiet ordinary. His aura was very restrained and more than that his movements held a fluctuation of Dao Laws in them. Shi Lang bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder, forgive me for disturbing you."
The old man waved his hand and asked, "What do you want?"
Shi Lang asked, "Do you have any Dao Weapons to sell?"
The old man snapped his fingers and took out a few weapons, although none of them looked dashing, but they all gave a subtle charm of Dao Laws. Shi Lang frowned because the Dao Laws were faint, and the old Dwarf said, "The better level weapons will only be sold to the dwarves. Humans can only buy this. The council decided this, and not me."
Shi Lang frowned but then he sighed and said, "Not like the council is wrong. Humans do have the tendency to bite the hand that feeds them. Well, I will buy these."
The old man said, "These are worth thousand supreme spirit stones."
Shi Lang took a deep breath and looking at the four daggers, he said, "Senior, can I buy two of them for five hundred spirit stones?"
The old man took look at him and then said, "Fine. Select whichever you want, they have the laws of sharpness infused in them."
Shi Lang took two knives that looked completely different from each other. He paid the money and left the place. The old man kept looking at the door, and then he said, "I wonder if this kid can change anything."
Every human who came here, had a dream to learn Dao Infusion in forging weapons. It was not so hard for the old man to guess it all. He shook his head and then went back to the forge.
...
Shi Lang came to a room he rented, and sat down on the floor after erecting a few isolation barriers. People would not disturb him until it was important. Many guests would stay in the rooms and use isolation barriers to avoid minuscule things and focus on comprehending in silence.
Shi Lang took out the long dagger and held it in his hand as he mumbled, "It has been such a long time since I tried this. Let's see if it works."
He was going to focus his sensory ability and use it to peek inside the structure of the weapon. After a few seconds he had a structural model of the dagger. He was surprised and exclaimed, "What the hell, they have made such perfect blend of metals. It seems to have exceeded the level of ten thousand refinements."
Then he channeled his spiritual energy inside the dagger and found that the energy flowed through the article like a river. The Terran frowned, he could sense his own spiritual energy that was powering the Dao Laws infused in the dagger. He could sense that the edge of the dagger was so sharp that it could slice through an unguarded mountain.
Suppose if a human with immortal level cultivation got his hands on such a weapon, they would definitely go crazy. Shi Lang understood why human experts were not allowed to get their hands on stronger weapons.
The Terran sat in the same position for two days, before he recalled how he shot the assassin that came to attack him by infusing his spear intent in the spirit bullet. He put away the dagger and stood up to leave the room and find a forging place for himself.
Shi Lang had come to conclude that intents were similar to Dao Laws, if someone could manage to store their intent inside the weapon, then they might get an idea of how to forge a Dao Weapon.
The black rock mountain city was filled with people who rented forging rooms, however, Shi Lang wanted the best of the best, and so he found himself standing before the Dipper Forging Pavilion.
This place was owned and managed by one of the best Dwarven forging grandmasters, Dahl Titus. Titus family had many Dao Forgers, and they were self content. Shi Lang had asked around and found that only Titus family happens to be the leading authority inside the city. Many humans would come here and try to forge Dao weapons.
However, as a man of power, he knew that one should not trust those with power. So, he booked the forging hall for a couple of days, and as soon as he stepped inside the room, he sighed. This place was fine, and secure, but something about it was unsettling.
Shi Lang did not think much and began to forge a sword, as the process moved on, he completed the best weapon that he could and tried to channel the sword intent through the hammer. The effect was just as drastic as he expected it to be. The sword embryo was left sliced in two halves.
The young man sighed and began to work again, he had already paid for all the metals and the commodities in advance. He knew that it would be a challenge for him to increase the forging level.
...
Under a parapet, a muscular old man was sitting with his eyes closed when suddenly he raised his brows and stood up from his chair. Beside him a young lady was standing, she was seven feet tall, but she looked very ravishing with her ample curves and physique.
She asked, "Great Grandpa, what happened?"
The old man turned to look at the closed windows of the forging rooms and said, "I did not expect for such a talent to come over."
The girl was shocked, her great grandfather was the greatest forger in this world, Dahl Titus, and he was surprised to discover a talent? With his high standard, if a talent was selected, it would be sky breaking. She asked, "Shall I get that person over for you?"
The old man shook his head and replied, "It is a talent but he comes from the human race. Vali, forget about it."
Vali was shocked, to think this man was talking about a human. Dahl Titus sighed and replied, "Ahh, what a pity. Such a controlled hand, such focus, why did he have to be a human."
Vali asked, "Great Grandpa, how can you tell if this guy is a talent?"
The old man smiled and replied, "When you reach my level, you would be able to sense all that you need to know about a person by the way he wields his hammer."
Vali was curious about this human, but she did not say much, after all Dahl did not wish to talk about this matter, and with a step forward, the old man vanished from his spot.
Vali decided that she would stay behind and learn about this guy. She wanted to see what sort of a person could get the Forging god to compliment him. Thus she decided to go and wait in the lobby.
...
Shi Lang did not know that someone was looking forward to meet him. He only cared about increasing his forging abilities. His hammer rose and fell without hesitation. He was not afraid of making mistakes, and neither was he happy of success. While he was forging the Dao Laws of indifference were flowing through his mind. His consciousness was at a standstill.
In the past two days, he created seventy swords. Yes, his speed had reached the scale that was similar to that of a factory. The fire under the forge stopped, and Shi Lang decided to go out and extend his stay. He was about to breakthrough and the time was crucial.
He came out and arrived at the counter in the lobby and asked, "Miss, can I extend the stay in the forging room?"
The lady was none other than Vali. She was surprised to find that someone did not know her identity. However, when she gazed into the eyes of the young man before her, she was shocked. He did not reveal any emotions.
A staff member broke out in cold sweat and wanted to intervene when Vali said, "Please come this way."
She personally oversaw the procedure and issued a token to Shi Lang. The Terran checked that the duration of the stay was seven days. He took out extra spirit stones and walked away without saying anything.
The staff member was about to scold him, when Vali looked at him and said, "Make sure this room is not disturbed in the next seven days."
The staff member nodded and bowed, before he found Vali had vanished from her spot.
Shi Lang was back in his room tackling the challenge with all his might.
