Accompanied by a gentle Fragrant Breeze, a graceful and beautiful young lady floated into the Forge, seemingly unable to withstand the thick smoke. Lei Xiaodie frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Ziyu, your working environment here is really not great."
Ye Yang stepped forward with a smile and replied, "Miss, you jest. This is the Forge, a place for blacksmithing and weapon crafting; how can it compare to your Pavilion? Come, please enter the back hall for a chat!"
Lei Xiaodie smiled happily and followed Ye Yang into the back hall of the Forge.
Leaving the working area of the furnace, the air became fresh. Lei Xiaodie couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with a smile, "Zi Yu, I've heard about your situation with the Fire God Clan. Thankfully, you're alright; otherwise, I would have sent experts to rescue you from the Fire God Altar..."
"Um, oh, thank you!"
Ye Yang expressed his gratitude somewhat unenthusiastically. In fact, Lei Xiaodie's sincerity was also quite limited; Ye Yang had spent an entire day in the Cold Wind Ice Cave without seeing anyone from the Azure Thunder Merchant Association.
Lei Xiaodie sat down gracefully and said, "No need to be polite; you are my esteemed guest from the Azure Thunder Merchant Association."
Ye Yang nodded and asked, "I wonder what brings you to Ye Family Forge this time?"
With her beautiful eyes sparkling, Lei Xiaodie smiled and said, "I'm here just to help you with something!"
"Oh, help me?" Ye Yang chuckled. "But I don't really have anything I need help with at the moment."
Lei Xiaodie laughed charmingly and said, "Let's get straight to the point. The Peng Family Forge is ambitious and has signed numerous orders with Liang City’s Three Major Merchant Guilds. If this continues for another month at most, Ye Family Forge won't be able to sell even one weapon!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but be taken aback. "Miss Lei, your information is quite well-informed!"
"Hmph! You didn't even ask what I do!"
Lei Xiaodie confidently puffed out her chest, causing her curves to sway beautifully.
Ye Yang poured a cup of tea and personally offered it to her. "So tell me, how do we cooperate?"
"Hehe, it's very simple. I want to give Ye Family a super order worth one million taels of silver!"
"What?!"
Ye Yang stood up in shock. "A million taels of silver in orders?"
"That's right!" Lei Xiaodie said, her beautiful face filled with pride. "I plan to order 100 Ninth-Grade Weapons, 3 Eighth-Rank Weapons, and additionally, 1000 Sharp Longswords made from Refined Iron. I wonder if Zi Yu would be willing?"
Ye Yang hurriedly nodded but had some doubts. "Such a large order, I suppose I need to contribute something as well, right?"
Lei Xiaodie smiled gently. "Smart! I just need you to help me with one thing."
"What is it?"
"Help me forge a Sixth-Rank Longsword!"
Instantly, Ye Yang was stunned. "A Sixth-Rank Weapon? That... that requires the skills of a Blacksmith Master to accomplish. Miss, you think too highly of me."
Lei Xiaodie chuckled and leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against Ye Yang's ear as she said, "Zi Yu, how long are you going to keep this from me? Isn't the Breaking Flame Sword your creation? I can tell that your materials are Mystic Spirit Stone and Cold Iron. If you use even more precious ores, I believe you can definitely forge a Sixth-Rank Weapon, right?"
Ye Yang pondered for a moment and sat back down in his chair. To be honest, he wasn't very confident. Although his Fire God Power level was rising rapidly, boasting about being able to forge a Sixth-Rank Weapon felt a bit arrogant.
Lei Xiaodie smiled slightly, her delicate eyes seeming to see through Ye Yang's thoughts. She stepped forward, placing her soft hands on Ye Yang's shoulders and leaned in closer, whispering with a light laugh, "Our Azure Thunder Merchant Association has brought in Refined Steel from the Southern Miao Region and Earth Spirit Stone from the Northern Wilderness. Additionally, with a Core from a Ninth-Grade Beast, I don't believe Zi Yu can't forge a Sixth-Rank Weapon!"
Ye Yang shuddered. "A Ninth-Grade Beast Core?"
"Yes! That was obtained over three hundred years ago by a Starry Sky Expert who killed a Ninth-Grade Beast. It has been preserved in the Azure Thunder Merchant Association ever since. So, what do you think? Are you tempted?" Lei Xiaodie asked with a smile, seemingly confident that she had already secured Ye Yang's agreement.
At that moment, a voice came from within the Cosmic Bag and Divine Dragon Cauldron: "Ye Yang, agree immediately!"
"Oh? Why is that, Grandpa Qin?"
Qin Fang smiled and said, "Refined Steel and Earth Spirit Stone are both very rare materials. More importantly, that Ninth-Grade Beast's Core—if you can refine the Core to forge weapons, your own cultivation will surely improve significantly. With someone providing materials for your training, how could you let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away?"
Qin Fang's words solidified Ye Yang's thoughts. In fact, he had initially wanted to take advantage of the situation but was just being a bit reserved, considering that Lei Xiaodie was a young lady and might still be a maiden.
Thus, Ye Yang nodded, "Alright, it's settled then. When will you deliver the materials, Miss?"
Lei Xiaodie looked around and smiled, "Although the Ye Family's Forge is not small in scale, the environment is rather poor. How about you forge in the underground chamber of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association? I can cover your meals there. What do you think?"
Looking at the girl before him who was smiling brightly, Ye Yang felt a jolt in his heart. He was well aware that the materials Lei Xiaodie offered were precious. Having her send them to the Ye Family would not be very practical. Moreover, if Ye Yang forged a weapon and then fled with it, the Azure Thunder Merchant Association would suffer a significant loss.
For both emotional and logical reasons, Lei Xiaodie's proposal was impossible to refuse.
Ye Yang nodded, "No problem, let's go right away!"
"Great!"
Lei Xiaodie happily agreed. This was entirely a gamble; all the stakes rested on whether this young lad had the ability of a Master Blacksmith.
Lei Xiaodie believed in this mysterious young man, while Ye Yang was equally confident in his Fire God Fragment and Refining Technique. If he could forge a Seventh-Rank Weapon called Breaking Flame using Mystic Spirit Stone, Cold Iron, and the Core of a Demon Tiger, then forging a Sixth-Rank Weapon with even higher-grade materials should not be an issue!
After briefing about the matters in the Forge, Ye Yang followed Lei Xiaodie to the Azure Thunder Merchant Association with two guards.
The Azure Thunder Auction House was one of the few guilds in Liang City. In this era of war and rampant unscrupulous merchants, the power of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association could not be underestimated; otherwise, Lei Xiaodie wouldn't dare guarantee the safety of Ye Family Forge.
Inside the merchant association, a line of armored elite Cavalry rushed by like lightning. A fierce wind swept through as dozens of knights dismounted simultaneously and knelt on one knee before Lei Xiaodie, saying, "Miss!"
Lei Xiaodie nodded, "You may continue your patrol!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The Cavalry charged away like a whirlwind, and Ye Yang couldn't help but feel emotional. He sensed that each of these Cavalry members had at least reached Earth Level Three, and the maintenance of their Armor and warhorses was incredibly expensive. The Azure Thunder Auction House actually had its own Cavalry team in the estate, which clearly demonstrated their financial power and strength!
"We have arrived!"
As they approached a lake, Lei Xiaodie suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Arrived?"
Ye Yang was somewhat confused as he looked at the tranquil autumn waters.
Lei Xiaodie smiled lightly, then suddenly opened her hand, calling out sharply. With a graceful motion, she forcefully parted the lake water using her wind energy, her body radiating a faint orange glow!
Ye Yang was astonished; Earth Level Six! Lei Xiaodie's strength was actually above his own—truly hidden talent!
The lake water seemed to be cleaved apart by a Sharp Sword, remaining separated for a long time. This was the effect of the wind element being enhanced. Lei Xiaodie turned back with a smile and reached out to grab Ye Yang's arm: "Come on!"
They stepped onto the lakebed, and in less than half a minute, they discovered a Secret Door!
Ye Yang was utterly shocked. The Azure Thunder Merchant Association truly had grand ambitions to build a secret chamber beneath the lake—how imaginative!
