Ji Xun, the ten-time consecutive champion of the World Swordsmithing Championships, woke up one day to find he had transmigrated to a Blue Star world where swordsmiths reigned supreme and strange beasts ran rampant.
Unlike ordinary professions, swordsmiths had one extraordinary feature: their sword maidens could take human form. This was also the ultimate secret behind the swordsmiths’ power.
Unlike other weapons, a swordsmith’s sword maiden could take human form and fight alongside her master, slaying strange beasts. She could also become the sharpest sword in her swordsmith’s hands!
Every swordsmith has their own specialty.
Some are gamblers who manage to achieve a great success with every sword they forge!
Some develop new materials to improve their sword maidens’ flexibility and make them more powerful.
Some study the history of swordsmanship, searching the river of time for new techniques.
And some have absolutely no sense of propriety, specializing in designing new outfits and poses for their sword maidens…
But for Ji Xun, a genius swordsmith, he wants to do it all!
Spirit tempering, folded forging, a hundred rounds of refining and fusion, heartfire tempering, blood-sacrificial sharpening…
The masterful techniques he had spent more than twenty years perfecting in his previous life were about to be brought into the world by Ji Xun.

All that fancy talk, but without a sword maiden, what am I supposed to forge?
Ji Xun stared at his completely bare-bones swordsmith workshop, standing there alone in the wind, utterly bewildered…
A very good book [thoughts]
