He Sheng had never expected that the first time in his life he forged a top-tier magic artifact, he would produce a fine-grade top-tier magic artifact with a measure of sentience!
Perhaps it was because the materials were too extravagant. After all, a single magic artifact had used several demon-beast materials comparable to high-grade second-tier spirit materials, while even the supplementary materials were second-tier spirit materials.

Seeing how perfect the result of nearly five months of painstaking effort was, He Sheng could not help but feel greatly delighted.
Even more wondrously, when he held the Blood Poison Mother-and-Child Blades, he vaguely sensed a certain power within them responding to him.

Instead, the foolish little monkey that
