"Can we really do it?"
Zhang Jinseng's heart was in turmoil.
If we truly succeed, this [Ash Artifact] will pioneer its own category in the Divine Weapon List, standing out among all traditional divine weapons.
This news might sweep across the weapon forging realm of more than half of Xinyi Continent like a storm.
If further developed, this place could become a forging Holy Land revered by countless blacksmiths, eager to learn and advance here.
And yet, we blacksmiths are being asked to assist in forging this Demon Weapon.
What do we have that deserves this honor?
They suddenly felt a bit unworthy.
Unworthy of such an advanced standard, such a heavy sense of mission. This heavy dream should not be theirs to complete.
What if they fail to complete it?
The pressure felt immense, and they feared disappointing the other's expectations!
This was a dream spanning tens of thousands of years, truly too heavy to bear.
Jiucai Rong looked at their expressions, wondering if he had exaggerated, making them feel constrained.
Although a great brand must learn to tell a story, was his story that touching?
Well, it seemed quite impeccable indeed.
In the eyes of outsiders, the probability of these Twin Embers being born was indeed small.
Even here, it was one-tenth times one-tenth.
Without considering the limitation of dual spirits, with one person madly whipping and resurrecting repeatedly.
Anyone who has studied Embers knows how difficult it is.
"I believe you are worthy, I've investigated your experiences, your lives."
Jiucai Rong spoke with a serious expression, facing the six elders present, calmly stating:
"The mission of our family spanning tens of thousands of years is to be completed by us in this generation. We must carefully select each participating Master Blacksmith, investigating their past signature works!"
"All the masters present here are very qualified."
"Especially Old Mr. Zhang here, your works are pursued by countless people, and your life could be written into a legendary story."
Zhang Jinseng's heart fluttered, blooming with joy after being praised.
He suddenly felt it made sense.
How could they hand over such a family mission to outsiders without knowing his experiences?
They are connoisseurs.
Surely, they have researched the forging history of our Zhang Family blacksmith shop, familiar with the notable Master Blacksmiths present here.
"At the same time."
Jiucai Rong continued, "Across the years, our family has declined to the point where we cannot forge this weapon on our own; we need a group of forging assistants, and you are the best choice."
"No problem!" The six old blacksmiths of the Zhang family exchanged glances, seeing the fire of battle in each other's eyes, clearly ignited with passion.
Jiucai Rong, adept at motivating, said:
"We are in charge of forging the integrated Artifact Spirit."
"You are responsible for forging the integrated Artifact Body, how about it?"
"The Yang Embers is the Sword Fairy, and the Yin Embers is this one."
He pointed to the Loli Medical Fairy next to him, smiling gently: "Based on the post-fusion form of these two, you will craft a Magical Artifact, any questions?"
The old blacksmiths, led by Zhang Jinseng, wore serious expressions.
This subject was challenging!
Typically, the Artifact Spirit is chosen according to the crafted Magical Artifact.
But here, the Magical Artifact is crafted according to the Artifact Spirit.
How to perfectly harness and display the combined power of Yin and Yang attributes?
The materials and techniques involved posed a massive test for them.
Had it not been for Zhang Jinseng's three thousand seven hundred years of forging experience, they might have been stumped.
But Zhang Jinseng, with his wealth of experiences, quickly thought of a possibility:
"We could draw inspiration from the Yin Yang Double Rings on the Divine Weapon List, forged from the legendary Twin Qilin Beast."
"It is said that this Twin Qilin, startled countless great noble families and sects into a joint siege, possessing dual souls, and two heads, both Yin and Yang, offering reference points before us."
Only an experienced old blacksmith like him could immediately find a solution.
This also indirectly proved the potential of the Sword Fairy, whose once-in-a-millennium heavenly and earthly treasures could be compared to the legendary Twin Qilin Beast.
"Now, please allow our chief blacksmith to converse with you." Jiucai Rong announced.
"Okay."
Daojiu spoke casually from the side, exuding a masterful demeanor:
"Perhaps you are respected masters in other realms, yet our traditional techniques are far inferior to yours."
"But in our domain, you are like babbling newcomers."
"I hope you set aside pride, as learning knows no bounds."
After this capitalist motivation, Daojiu began PUA tactics, acting as a blacksmith mentor, tapping and instructing:
"Our forging technology differs from traditional techniques, and learning something here will indeed broaden your horizons."
"Observe well, learn well!"
"Ask less, watch more, listen more, contemplate more."
The old blacksmiths around were stunned.
They hadn't even realized or gotten a chance to be angry.
"Sorry."
Jiucai Rong instantly showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "Excuse us."
"He has a stubborn nature; he only started talking at three, with the first words: 'Mom, I want to forge,' having crafted a Low Tier Magical Artifact by five, and opened Three Flowers by ten... Now he's only in his teens, but still not great at interacting with people."
"I understand, I understand." Zhang Jinseng nodded, unable to add more.
A teen genius would naturally have some pride.
Painting Cards, Frenzy Weapons, occupying the low-end market with their team, was almost textbook-worthy.
However, the other party was just a Five-Body Realm Cultivator after all.
After all, being a First Body Cultivator in the teens is quite typical, and with extraordinary forging talent, his future was limitless, to say the least.
In reality, a realm could be seen at a glance, and Daojiu and the others hadn't intended to hide it, acting as a genius blacksmith seemed fitting.
Zhang Jinseng nodded: "It is our honor to learn from you, witnessing the culmination of your countless predecessors' work coming into this world."
"We will now go back and discuss the plan."
"If any forging materials are needed, we will report to the Zhang Family..."
Zhang Jinseng paused: "However, we do have the final question."
"Please ask!" Jiucai Rong smiled warmly.
"Those artifacts you forged, the Painting Card, Frenzy Magical Artifacts, are actually all..." Zhang Jinseng suddenly asked.
He was curious about the materials.
After all, they had led a team in research for a very long time, yet hadn't managed a breakthrough.
Not just their team; none of the teams across Pingchang City had succeeded.
This veritably stood as a century-long puzzle of Pingchang City.
"Just a kind of oceanic Demon Beast not native to Pingchang City! We cultivate them to craft Magical Artifacts."
Jiucai Rong maintained a solemn expression, saying, "So you wouldn't recognize it, this oceanic Demon Beast we generally call the Water Army."
"Water Army?"
"I apologize, we raise the Water Army in the Comments Section." Jiucai Rong spoke mildly: "The location of the Comments Section is a family secret."
"Water Army?"
"My apologies, we raise the Water Army in the Comments Section." Jiucai Rong stated calmly, "The location of the Comments Section is our family secret."
"An Alchemist Race will not let you see their Alchemy Room, the formula is classified."
They had no more questions after receiving clarifications, then stood and left the manager's room.
Upon returning to their guest room, the elderly blacksmiths were no longer focused on their thoughts.
Even though all the people around were walking with an unusual stiffness and strange, awkward smiles.
But the few elder blacksmiths were no longer focused on their thoughts.
"We should not fail their expectations! This responsibility that has been on their shoulders for tens of thousands of years is bestowed upon us to assist in forging; we must present a satisfactory answer."
One of the old blacksmiths smiled and lit a cigarette, saying emotionally, "They have entrusted us with a mission of tens of thousands of years, and we must give a satisfactory answer."
"I think we indeed have taken on a worthy task!"
Another added, his heart full of ambition.
It was like regaining the vigor of youth.
This place is full of noble and pure-hearted blacksmiths, who passionately and earnestly pursue their path!
Truly to be admired and emulated.
"I think we have to see the forging process."
Another elder chimed in during the heated discussion.
"I believe we should have the opportunity to witness your forging technique with our own eyes." Zhang Jinseng added, nodding his approval.
The old blacksmiths rose and left the office without further questions, their hearts settled.
They return to the guest room, discussing their task with zeal.
The surrounding old blacksmiths were already not paying attention to their surroundings.
Even as they returned to the city, those around them, still seemed rather stiff and odd.
Yet, the old blacksmiths no longer paid it any mind; their thoughts consumed by the weight of their assignment.
They must hand over a satisfactory report card, as the burden of dreams endured for tens of thousands of years has been entrusted to them.
For the first time, Zhang Jinseng and his team members were deeply indulged in a heated discussion.
This place indeed boasted an incredibly sincere and pure group of blacksmiths, earnestly pursuing their path!
Truly admirable, truly worthy of high praises.
"I believe we will have a chance to see their forging craftsmanship."
The enthusiastic discussion among the elderly continued.
"As we continue to learn and explore," another added.
Truly, as it seemed, the journey was just beginning.
