868 The Consumption of Forging Materials Used to Forge the Celestial Thearch Sword Can Be Recovered (1)

“It looks like you distinguish competing very clearly from betting.” Zhou Shu laughed. Who said that Zheng Jingyun was brainless? Isn’t he very clear-headed?

“Sure, let’s make a bet.” Zhou Shu smiled. “If you can’t forge a divine weapon stronger than the Celestial Thearch Sword, I’ll admit defeat.”

“You…” Zheng Jingyun was so angry that he spun on the spot. Didn’t I just say that I’ve never learned any forging? I don’t know how to forge at all!

Moreover, even if he knew how to forge, where could he find forging materials on the level of the paragon bone?

There was no need to bet. He would definitely lose.

Before Zheng Jingyun got really angry, Zhou Shu smiled and continued, “I’m just joking. I know you don’t know anything about forging. As the successor of the Sima Grotto-Heaven, you don’t even know any forging techniques. You’re really something.”

Zheng Jingyun: “…”

He cursed inwardly. Who is this brat? Why is he so annoying?

So what if I don’t know how to forge? I’m the most talented Martial Dao genius of the Sima Grotto-Heaven, okay? I specialize in the Martial Dao and have a bright future. Why should I learn forging?

“You don’t understand forging. With your strength, I can defeat you with a single strike, so it’s definitely not possible to bet on our Martial Dao cultivation. I’ll be too much of a bully.” Zhou Shu rubbed his glabella, looking like he had a headache.

Zheng Jingyun: “…”

You can’t bully me like that. If you say that again, I’ll fight you to the death!

“Why don’t I come up with an idea?” Ji Lutian suddenly said. He saw the veins on Zheng Jingyun’s forehead twitching. If Zhou Shu continued, Zheng Jingyun would probably fight Zhou Shu to the death without betting.

He was on good terms with the Sima Grotto-Heaven and Zhou Shu. He couldn’t really watch the two sides fight to the point of no return.

Actually, Zhou Shu was just teasing Zheng Jingyun. Otherwise, his previous strike could have definitely injured Zheng Jingyun.

Zheng Jingyun had a foul mouth, but he hadn’t done anything unforgivable. Besides, the people from Great Xia and Great Qin were still in the Sima Grotto-Heaven. If he really did anything to Zheng Jingyun, he would fall out with the Sima Grotto-Heaven. At that time, what would happen to the people from Great Xia and Great Qin?

Of course, with Zhou Shu’s personality, he still had to teach Zheng Jingyun a lesson.

“Mr. Ji, what do you have in mind?” Zhou Shu asked with a faint smile.

Ji Lutian could come up with an idea, but it was up to him whether to use it or not.

“My idea is simple.” Ji Lutian smiled. “In order to deal with the heavenly crack, I’ve preserved many forging materials everywhere, such as the otherworldly divine iron and the paragon bone. To be honest, although I set up some methods for these materials, I’m not confident that I can successfully smelt them. Moreover, the world has changed. After so many years, it’s not certain if they’re still in place.

“There’s no irresolvable feud between you two. There’s no need to fight and kill. So let’s make it simple and take a gamble on whether the forging materials I left are still there. How about it?”

“Then, what if some of them are there and some aren’t?” Zheng Jingyun asked.

“We won’t bet on everything. We’ll only bet on the forging material we’re going to find next.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “I hid this forging material in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Without the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court is ownerless. I left a piece of divine iron there.

“Let’s bet if it’s still there.”

“I bet it’s still there!” Zheng Jingyun said loudly before Ji Lutian could finish speaking. “Don’t I know what kind of person you are? Would a scheming fellow like you do something you’re not confident in?

“What you’re hiding must still be there!”

While speaking, he even raised his chin at Zhou Shu. “Zhou Shu, if you think so too, admit defeat.”

“Zheng Jingyun, did I ever tell you…” Zhou Shu said.

“Tell me what?” Zheng Jingyun was stunned.

“This part of yours is really not good.” Zhou Shu pointed at his head. “Also, if you don’t want to use it, you should keep a low profile.”

He sneered. “Admit defeat to you? I’ll bet it’s not there anymore!”

Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian. “I agree with your suggestion. If the divine iron you left is still there, then Zheng Jingyun wins. If it’s not, then he loses.”

Zhou Shu’s expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t care about winning or losing.

Zheng Jingyun was originally a little angry, but when he heard what Zhou Shu said, he sneered and rebutted, “You’re indeed not that smart! How could something that Ji Lutian hid not be there? You’re underestimating him too much!”

Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly. “Is that so? When you lose, don’t go back on your word and refuse to admit defeat.”

“I’ll go back on my word?” Zheng Jingyun sneered. “I, Zheng Jingyun, have never gone back on my word in my life! As long as you can defeat me, the door to the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s forging workshop will be open to you. You can take as many things as you want. Even if you empty it, I have no objections!”

Ji Lutian opened his mouth. Zheng Jingyun, oh Zheng Jingyun, I’ve already helped you so much. Why don’t you know how to restrain yourself?

You’ll definitely regret saying that!

Although Ji Lutian felt that it was unlikely that Zheng Jingyun would lose, there was always a possibility, especially when his opponent was Zhou Shu.

At times like these, people had to be careful of what they said.
