Chapter 79: The Forge Workshop

  "I've now converted all my true energy into pre-heavenly sword energy, my cultivation hasn't broken through, but my strength has increased again. Even without relying on sword intent, it's enough to crush Ma Wei, however I still lack a sword instrument, although the ultimate goal of sword cultivation is that everything can be used as a sword, I'm still far from reaching that realm, forging a suitable sword instrument for myself can't be delayed any further." Qin Yong thought to himself.

  At this time, Qin Yong had already made a decision in his heart. He returned to the house and took out the piece of stone with the fine ore. Originally, Qin Yong was going to send it to be forged into a sword. Now that Qin Yong's strength had increased again, even among the outer disciples of the Qi Wu Sect, he could be considered extremely strong, and his heart had gained some confidence. This time, when forging the sword, he would use this period of time to break through to the eighth level of the Qi Wu Realm. By then, relying on his own strength, it was not necessarily impossible to compete with a Xuan Wu Realm martial artist.

  Qin Yong left the courtyard and headed to the trading area of Yunhai Sect. Although it was within the sect's grounds, it seemed like a separate small town. Here, not only were there inner and outer door disciples, but also miscellaneous duty disciples, and even some core disciples might come here. Apart from people from within Yunhai Sect, there were also some external merchants, but most of them were still from within the sect.

  The place where the weapons were forged was also in this town. After Qin Yong arrived at the trading town, he didn't linger around the roadside stalls. These roadside stalls were actually mostly disciples who went out on missions and obtained certain materials or treasures. Because they were useless to themselves or urgently needed money, they would sell them here. Although there were specialized auction houses in the trading town, it was clear that not everything had the qualifications to be auctioned off, which is why such roadside stalls appeared.

  Qin Yong just took a glance as he walked by, his destination was clear, it was the forging workshop in this trading town that belonged to Yunhai Sect for disciples to forge weapons. Forging weapons here was the safest option, but the payment required was not low either, the advantage being that it was safe enough. According to Qin Yong's understanding, other forging workshops in the trading town were privately owned, with lower payments but a possibility of being cheated, while Yunhai Sect's workshop was official, with higher payments but generally no problems would arise.

  But that's all, in any world, people follow the rules only because the benefits are not high enough. Especially in this world, Qin Yong believes that once a real treasure appears, even the Cloud Sea Sect's Forging Workshop may have greedy thoughts. However, Shi Zhong Jing is a Xuan-level material, although it's also a precious treasure, but it's just at the Xuanwu Boundary level, not worth the Cloud Sea Sect's Forging Workshop doing so, Qin Yong can rest assured.

  Even so, Qin Yong also arrived here when his strength had improved a bit. At this time, he stood at the door for a while and then walked into the forging workshop, where a wave of heat blew towards him, causing Qin Yong's footsteps to slow down slightly.

  This heat wave is caused by the persistent high temperature inside the forge, and it's just a bit stuffy at the entrance. It's only when you go inside that you realize the true environment, which ordinary people absolutely can't withstand. Qin Yong also slightly circulated his innate sword energy, and the blood boiling due to the heat wave only returned to normal then.

  At this time, Qin Yong fixed his eyes and immediately saw that in front of each fiery red furnace, a large man with a hammer was striking various red-hot weapon models. They were called weapon models because they could only see the outline for now, without showing their true shape as weapons.

  "This forging workshop is full of men." Qin Yong took a glance and couldn't help but have some misgivings.

  There aren't no female blacksmiths, just very few. As for this blacksmith shop, Qin Yong hadn't seen a single one either. But thinking about it, it makes sense that blacksmithing is hard labor and not suitable for delicate work. Years of blacksmithing would put the body's muscles in a state of constant excitement, making these burly men look like muscle monsters to Qin Yong.

  Except for some women with a special physical constitution, strong and powerful without affecting their muscles, they may choose to be blacksmiths. Otherwise, there are only those women who completely disregard their appearance. However, in any world, women are very concerned about their appearance.

  "Are you here to forge a weapon, or are you here to take one?"

  At this time, a bald man walked over, the strangest thing was that this bald man didn't even have eyebrows.

  "I'm here to forge weapons." Qin Yong said.

  "Alright, it's too muggy here, let's go inside and talk." said the bald-headed, browless big man.

  The rest of the blacksmiths were all big men, but they just took a glance and quickly focused on their own work, making Qin Yong nod in approval.

  Under the leadership of the bald and eyebrow-less big man, Qin Yong arrived at a relatively inner area, which was a place for receiving people. There were several chairs and tables. In addition to this, what surprised Qin Yong was that the temperature here was not sultry, but rather cool, as if there was some kind of formation array.

  "This younger brother, I'm Niu Dali, what's your name?" Niu Dali asked.

  "My name is Qin Yong, I just became an outer door disciple. Since I don't have a suitable weapon in my hand, I want to come and forge one." Qin Yong said.

  In the Forge Workshop, the one in charge was the Inner Gate Elder, and these Forging Masters were actually also the inner and outer disciples of Yunhai Sect. Their cultivation might not be high, but they all had a certain status within the sect due to their innate talent for forging. That's why when Niu Dalie saw Qin Yong, he called out "Younger Brother", because Qin Yong looked younger than him.

  "Oh, I see. So Qin Yong is not ordinary either. Usually, outer sect disciples just choose a standard weapon, only those talented ones with exceptional combat skills would choose to forge their own." Niu Dali said with a smile.

  This is not false, most people who have just become outer door disciples will only choose low-priced standard weapons in the Treasure Pavilion, which is enough to exert their combat power. It wasn't until they became stronger and reached the peak of the 9th layer of Qi Wu or Xuan Wu that they would choose to forge a suitable weapon for themselves.

  "I just happened to obtain a piece of forged material, and that's how I came up with this idea." Qin Yong shook his head and smiled, although he didn't deny it, but actually it was almost the same.

  "Smelting materials!" Niu Dali's eyes lit up with excitement, and he stopped saying polite words. After a moment, Niu Dali calmed down and looked at Qin Yong's slightly strange gaze, shaking his head and laughing: "I'm afraid I've made Qin Yong laugh, my talent for cultivation is not good, I only have brute strength, but I have a strong interest in smelting. My favorite thing to do is smelt, you see my bald head, it's because I was too focused on smelting and accidentally got my hair burned off by the fire in the furnace, and my eyebrows are also like that."
