Bejeweled Weapons Blacksmiths

In the morning, Qin Huai went to the training grounds to collect experience points as usual.

Zhang Haoyue once again began to preach in the crowd, also mentioning the matter of the Fengxing Auction House, so Qin Huai moved closer to the crowd and listened to their conversation.

“Senior Brother Haoyue, is our Nine Dragons sect planning to take all three of them?” A Li family disciple’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

If they could get all three of them, the sect would have at least one and a half more bone pattern realm warriors. This would be a huge boost to the sect’s combat strength.

“I don’t know if we can get the three items. Anyway, our Nine Dragons sect will definitely not give up the bone stabilizing pill and that bejeweled weapon. As for the power stone… let fate take its course,” a few disciples answered.

“Hehe, you’re wrong about that.” Zhang Haoyue smiled and shook his head. “This time, our Nine Dragons sect indeed intends to take them all.”

“But we don’t have any bejeweled weapon blacksmiths here. Those three masters who can make them are all in the small city below. Moreover, the orders from the three major factions have long been piled up for ten years…” The few of them sighed.

The three masters no longer made a lot of orders in Lingjiang. This was the reason why Qin Huai was so confident.

The three blacksmiths who stood at the peak of Lingjiang did not intend to participate in the dispute between the three major forces. They stayed in a small town and remained neutral forever. Enjoying the respect and protection of the three forces was obviously the best choice.

Moreover, these three people were also very interesting. They did not take on many orders every year. They would forge one a year, two at most, and not more.

It was said that the three of them spent most of the year touring the mountains and rivers of Lingjiang, and there were also free escorts from the three major forces. The three major forces were treated like grandsons every day, and they could not complain at all. It seemed that they only had two to three months to work, which was extremely carefree.

Qin Huai looked at the confident Zhang Haoyue, not knowing what he was up to. He wanted to take all three treasures.

Zhang Haoyue looked at everyone’s expectant eyes and said with a smile, “Actually, I’ve already made an appointment with Master Fuqiao of Axe Mountain City. I’ll set off tomorrow and bring him to live at the Nine Dragons sect.”

“Oh?” The disciples were in an uproar and looked at each other.

“What happened to Master Fuqiao?”

“I remember that in the early years, when we tried to rope in the three masters, Master Fuqiao was the one who showed the most resistance, wasn’t he?”

Everyone looked at Zhang Haoyue eagerly.

However, Zhang Haoyue smiled and shook his head. “I’ll keep everyone in suspense first. The sect’s secrets cannot be discussed lightly.”

Very soon, Zhang Haoyue began to preach, separating everyone from the excitement and returning to cultivation.

Qin Huai sat quietly in the crowd, collecting experience points while thinking about Master Fuqiao and the Nine Dragons sect. Or rather, the relationship between him and the Zhang family.

He had been engrossed in cultivation for the past few months, so he didn’t know much about Lingjiang, let alone what happened in the county. If he was asked who the leaders of the three major factions were, or who the candidates for the number one position among the younger generation were, Qin Huai would be able to recite them backward.

But Master Fuqiao… It was really difficult for Qin Huai.

After collecting the experience points, he quickly walked back to the Li family courtyard. “Young Master, you’re back so early today?”

When the middle-aged men saw Qin Huai, they hurriedly greeted him. They were all from the fourth branch. They were close to Qin Huai, especially after they found out that he had killed Zhang Dagen. Now, all of them looked at him as if he was their own son.

“Yes, is Fourth Uncle at home?” Qin Huai asked again.

“He’s here, I think?” A middle-aged man scratched his head.

“Thank you.” Qin Huai cupped his fists and walked straight into the courtyard of the fourth household.

Fourth Uncle Li Zeshi was sunbathing on a recliner. Yesterday, after Qin Huai had instructed him not to fight for the bone stabilizing pill, Li Zeshi had been basking in the sun in boredom.

Of course, he was also secretly raising some money. After all, other than the three treasures in the monthly auction of the Fengxing Auction House the day after tomorrow, there were many other good things.

“Fourth Uncle.” action

“Young Master, why are you here?” When Li Zeshi saw Qin Huai, he immediately jumped up from the recliner.

“Does Son-in-law want to fight for it?” Li Zeshi probed.

Qin Huai shook his head, then recounted what Zhang Haoyue had said about roping in Master Fuqiao.

Li Zeshi pondered for a while. “Oh… I understand. Master Fuqiao is old. Last year, there was news that he passed away. Although it has been confirmed to be a rumor, he has indeed fallen seriously ill.”

Li Zeshi sighed. “Treasures like them are even rarer than those in the bone pattern realm. Their status is high, and with their ability, they have accumulated countless gold and silver treasures over the years.

“When they were still alive, they had the support of the three great factions. Naturally, they were not afraid of anything. But if he really passed away, and no one inherited his identity as a bejeweled weapons blacksmith, the wolves will come.”

Qin Huai pulled over a wooden chair and sat opposite Li Zeshi. “Master Fuqiao wants to use his remaining years as a servant for the Zhang family in exchange for long-term protection and prosperity?”

“If what Zhang Haoyue said is true, that should be the case.” Li Zeshi added, “It’s also possible that Master Fuqiao will stay in Lingjiang and not belong to any party.

“Then, he’ll charge a low price to forge bejeweled weapons for the three forces to the best of his ability to benefit the disciples of our families. For example… They sent the disciples of the family to the three major forces to learn martial arts. It can be considered that the family has spread its branches and leaves. No matter what, it can’t wither.”
