Chongning County, West Sand Street.
Rather than a street, this place looked more like a shabby alley piled together from yellow mud.
Li Qing did not even dare imagine how muddy the road would become once it rained. Even Cui Mountain Village on Little Cui Ridge had not been this crude; at the very least, its roads were paved with stones!
"Master was quite the hot-blooded man in his youth. He stormed into the yamen in a rage and beat the county magistrate half to death."
"If the Wu Li Army had not taken a liking to his forging skills, he probably would have been executed after autumn!"
Li Qing had heard all this from He Baosheng. Assaulting an imperial official was a capital crime wherever it happened.
However, Master Gu had already gained some renown at the time. He had forged a Nine-Dragon Ge, a weapon that could absolutely be called a divine weapon.
Unfortunately, his fame had not yet truly spread. Back then, Master Gu could only be considered a renowned craftsman, not yet a Divine Craftsman.
By now, the Nine-Dragon Ge had gained considerable fame in the martial world as well. Unfortunately, its owner's whereabouts had always been elusive, and it had rarely appeared in the world. Its renown was far inferior to Demonic Blade - Crimson Lotus and the Mystic Turtle Spear.
After walking halfway through the alleys of West Sand Street, Li Qing finally found where Master Gu's descendants lived.
It was a dilapidated tile-roofed house, with several holes even in its wooden door.
Li Qing had heard from He Baosheng that Master Gu's descendant had inherited his father's trade and become a blacksmith on this street. Still, he could barely scrape together enough to eat.
"Excuse me, is Master Gu Yu at home?"
