Reborn to find himself at a blade-forging competition, Chen Qi is a little dazed.
Once he learns about the world, he discovers that cold weapons still haven't been rendered obsolete here.
In fact, they've completely suppressed firearms.
As a result, the status of weapon refiners has risen dramatically.
But he also discovers that, despite their high status, weapon refiners are extremely likely to die young, since powerful people from rival nations will assassinate them.
Naturally, they need the protection of their own nation's powerful figures if these precious weapon refiners are to survive.
Just as he is fretting over this, he discovers that he has awakened the Weapon-Refining Feedback System.
Anyone who uses a weapon he forges can provide him with a continuous stream of cultivation power.
And the stronger that person is, the more cultivation power flows back to him.
In the past, the powerful protected weapon refiners. Now, he himself is one of the powerful.
Chen Qi: "Hey, assassin bro, times have changed. Take this blast of Xuanyuan Sword Aura!"
