Chapter 060: The Mysterious Blacksmith Master
"Three months? Yang Chen has only spent a total of ten months on cultivation since now!" Elder Eight said.
"Ten, ten months? For us, in ten months, we could at most advance to the Warrior realm. You can't be lying to me, right?" Elder Three said skeptically.
"Lying to you, Third Brother? After all these years together, have I ever deceived you? This was something Miss casually let slip," Elder Eight replied.
"Elder Eagle, this is Miss Luo Xi from the Yongbing Guild, and this is the commander of our Shadow Kill Yongbing Team's Fourth Legion," Yang Chen introduced as the three of them spoke to Eagle Mo in a secret chamber.
"Ah. Yang Chen, I wonder if your return at such a tense time means you're planning something big? Moreover, that brat Tian Yi isn't willing to reveal anything," Eagle Mo inquired.
"Elder Eagle, I'm back this time to compete for Loulan City. I just discussed the situation with Qian'er, and Loulan can be taken!" Yang Chen said confidently.
"Leader, just now Master sent a message saying he has already convinced the Alchemist Guild. They have decided to stand by and not interfere in our conflict," Tian Ci's voice suddenly rang out, leaving everyone stunned.
Eagle Mo asked in confusion, "Yang Chen, is what this brother said true?" Yang Chen smiled and replied:
"Yes, it's true. Of course it's true. Good for you, Wanxiang Sect; good for you, Tian Jizi."
"The leader has already guessed our origins?" Tian Ci said in surprise.
"Hehe, your master intentionally told me 'usurping fate and transforming fate, myriad forms and appearances'—isn't that precisely what your Wanxiang Sect is about? Besides, which sect could easily convince the Alchemist Guild?" Yang Chen explained.
"I see now. Please forgive Tian Ci for concealing his identity," Tian Ci said respectfully.
"Forget it, this kind of thing has happened more than once, and it's not like you were the first to do it," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Thank you, Leader," Tian Ci replied.
"Well, Elder Ying, if the Alchemist Guild doesn't intervene, do we have a chance to take Luolan City?" Yang Chen asked.
"There is a chance. If our three parties join forces, we will have seven Dou Huang, enough to wipe out the Alchemist Guild's people! But how should we deal with the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild?" Ying Mo inquired.
"Oh? Is Shadow Kill Pavilion afraid of the Alchemist Guild?" Yang Chen countered.
"Yes, I understand now. The Alchemist Guild has never gotten along with my Shadow Kill Pavilion. Now that we've destroyed one of their branches, the headquarters will surely do everything they can to protect us," Ying Mo said, feeling relieved at this thought.
"Alright, Elder Ying, now is a great time for shopping. I'll leave the arrangements to you. At eight o'clock tonight, everyone from the Shadow Kill Yongbing team will return and gather at Shadow Kill Pavilion. If there's anything to discuss then, we'll talk about it. For now, I need to go handle some matters. Elder Ying, we'll take our leave," Yang Chen said lazily.
"Yes, remember to come back. The Shadow Kill Yongbing team still needs you to preside over things," Ying Mo replied.
As the three walked to the door, a lazy voice came from them: "Got it."
"Qian'er, I want to make a sheath for my sword. Where do you think would be good?" Yang Chen asked as he summoned the Long Lyu Sword. Luo Qian touched the Long Lyu Sword and exclaimed, "What a fine sword! What a spiritual sword! If I'm not mistaken, this sword has already become sentient; it is a Celestial Artifact."
Tian Ci beside them moved his fingers and calculated silently before saying, "Not quite. This sword has indeed become sentient but is not a Celestial Artifact; it is a divine weapon. It's just that the leader hasn't fully activated its spirit yet, which is why it appears to be a Celestial Artifact."
"This... this is a divine weapon? There are only Nine Divine Artifacts in the Eastern Continent; is this one of them?" Luo Qian said in surprise. "It is said that the Nine Divine Artifacts are held by nine Dou Sheng peak experts; I wonder which one this is." Yang Chen remained silent and looked at Tian Ci.
"Sister-in-law is mistaken again; this is not one of the legendary Nine Divine Artifacts. Instead, this divine weapon has been in existence for less than a year. My skills are still shallow, so I cannot determine which Expert's hand it came from. I am ashamed," Tian Ci said regretfully.
"In existence for less than a year? Does that mean that when the celestial phenomenon occurred in Silver Moon City a year ago, there was indeed a treasure born? And it just happened to be obtained by you, my husband?"
"Sort of. The celestial phenomenon in Silvermoon City, you could tell from this far away?" Yang Chen said bitterly.
"My husband may not know, but that day's phenomenon could probably be seen by people within a radius of millions of miles. When the phenomenon appeared, everyone within that distance felt a shiver in their souls. It's impossible not to notice," Roxie said.
"Our Wanxiang Sect also felt it. At the same time, Master and the Eight Elders tried to deduce its cause but couldn't figure it out. Forcing the deduction only led to chaos in the heavenly secrets, resulting in backlash against themselves. The phenomenon dissipated in an instant, and Master didn't pursue it further. I didn't expect it was caused by this sword."
"Alright, don't lament too much. To me, it's just a killing weapon, merely a souvenir," Yang Chen wouldn't tell them that the natural phenomenon was due to the Demon God manifesting.
"Xier, where should we go to forge the sheath for the sword?" Roxie said with difficulty as she shifted her gaze away from the Dragonweave Sword. "Such a Divine Weapon deserves more than an ordinary sheath. How about this, my husband? I'll take you to find an Expert and ask him to forge a sheath for you."
"Whatever you say." In a remote alley, Yang Chen could hear the clanging sound of forging from quite a distance.
"My husband, it's right here. However, this Senior has a bit of a strange temper and doesn't like being disturbed. I hope he will be pleased with the sword today and won't mind us breaking his rules," Roxie said. Yang Chen nodded, and the three pushed open the dilapidated Small Wooden Door and walked inside.
"Wow, what high temperatures! Living here for years, he must have quite a temper," Yang Chen remarked.
After taking a few more steps into the inner hall, they saw a man in his forties with his upper body bare, holding a pitch-black hammer and continuously striking a piece of Ore. The hammer was ordinary except for its basketball-sized head; the Ore was just regular iron ore compressed into iron ingots. Suddenly, the man shouted loudly and spun around violently, bringing down the Iron Hammer with great force. With a clang, he didn't stop but turned again for another strike. Three strikes, four strikes, ten strikes—each strike faster and stronger than the last.
"This... what is this?" Yang Chen watched in astonishment as he looked at the man who was crazily spinning around. Thirty-six strikes! He didn't stop but continued hammering. Fifty-six strikes, sixty-eight strikes, seventy-two strikes! The man hesitated for a moment before going back to his frenzied hammering with even greater force than before: eighty-eight strikes, ninety-five strikes, one hundred and seven strikes.
"Ha! Spin!" The man shouted angrily as his body spun again and brought down another heavy blow with a clang! This time, he didn't lift the Iron Hammer again but left it resting on the iron ore. Yang Chen noticed that what was once basketball-sized iron now only measured about palm size. Moreover, it was pure iron with all impurities removed—except for one flaw; the iron ingot was covered in fine cracks.
