Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei both felt quite uneasy.
Before, when Qingyunzi came to Xuanyuan Town, he also approached Blacksmith Zhang?
Moreover, have you ever seen Blacksmith Zhang forging iron swords?
"He is not as good as you."
The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"how do I say this?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised. This evaluation was quite high.
In Sifang City, he rose to prominence and set foot on the Heavenly Ranking... But even so, they only said that he should be comparable to Qingyunzi and Shanhaijun in the future!
What this means is that he can't compare for the time being.
But Zhang Tiejiang said that he was better than Qingyunzi, so he couldn't help but be curious.
"He didn't have your patience and didn't see it till the end."
The old man put down his tea cup and said.
"..."
Listening to the old man's words, Wang Pingbei was speechless. That's it?
Not finished?
Not as patient as you?
"Cultivation is the same as blacksmithing, the process is quite boring... Only those who can calm down, not be impetuous, and have patience can go further."
The old man said again.
"He's not as good as you in this regard."
"Haha, maybe he had other things to do at the time?"
Xiao Chen chuckled, not disappointed at all.
Because in his heart, he just feels that he is stronger than Qingyunzi!
Whether it's patience or talent.
Will he be as good as Qingyunzi and Shanhaijun in the future?
No, the future... they don't deserve it!
This is his confidence!
"Maybe."
The old man also smiled and said nothing more.
"Did Qingyunzi buy the sword at that time?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"Bought."
The old man nodded.
"Haha, I benefited a lot from watching my seniors forge today."
Xiao Chen got up.
"I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back another day..."
"good."
The old man nodded, stood up and sent Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei out.
"Senior, please stay and say goodbye."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and left with Wang Pingbei.
After the two of them disappeared from sight, the old man closed the door and went back.
"Master, why did you let them in?"
The man appeared in the yard and asked curiously.
"People have come to your door. Can you still meet this request?"
The old man smiled.
"What do you think of this Chen Xiao?"
"Chen Xiao? Is he the Chen Xiao who came out of nowhere and rose up in Sifang City?"
The man said in surprise.
"right."
The old man nodded.
"It's him. No wonder Master let him in."
The man was stunned.
"Master, what were you talking about just now?"
"Nothing, just a casual chat..."
The old man shook his head.
"He is better than Qingyunzi."
"Why?"
The man was even more surprised. Isn't this an overestimation?
"He...can understand."
After the old man finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the house with his hands behind his back.
What he said to his disciple was different from what he said to Xiao Chen just now.
There was no mention of patience at all.
"can understand?"
The man frowned, what did he understand?
When the old man entered the house, he suddenly thought of something, widened his eyes, and ran in with great strides.
"Master, you mean..."
"Lets see."
The old man interrupted the man.
"These days, pay more attention to what's going on outside."
"Yes, Master."
The man responded, feeling very uneasy.
On the other side, Xiao Chen took Wang Pingbei and left the back street.
"Brother Chen, have you gained anything from staying here for so long?"
Wang Pingbei asked curiously.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Ah? Then if you watch him forging iron, isn't that a waste of time?"
Wang Pingbei frowned. If he had time, it would be better to go to Dihai for a walk than to be stuffy and hot here.
"Haha, we have a lot of time to waste, don't we?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Forging iron is also quite interesting."
"Brother Chen, do you think his blacksmithing sounds are regular and can help him cultivate his spirit?"
What did Wang Pingbei think of?
"Really? Why didn't I feel it?"
"Maybe your understanding is a bit lacking."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"..."
Wang Pingbei was depressed, but if he knew that even Qingyunzi didn't hear it, he wouldn't be depressed.
"This blacksmith... is not simple."
Xiao Chen muttered and quickened his pace.
"Brother Chen, where are you going?"
Wang Pingbei quickly caught up.
"Go buy that sword."
Xiao Chen said without turning around.
"Huh? Don't you like it?"
Wang Pingbei was confused.
"Why are you still buying it?"
"They let us observe, what should we do if we don't pay anything? Even Qingyunzi bought a sword to come and see the blacksmith..."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Equivalent to... tickets?"
Wang Pingbei looked strange.
"That's about it. I bought the sword, so I can come back next time... If I don't buy it, why don't I come back next time?"
Xiao Chen looked back.
"When I have more time, I'll continue watching him forge iron swords."
"..."
Wang Pingbei was speechless, haven’t you seen enough?
"If you don't like it, you don't have to come."
Xiao Chen added.
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei nodded, he really didn't want to come.
"By the way, Brother Chen, what did Blacksmith Zhang hit in the end?"
"It's comparable to a demigod weapon, just a little bit worse."
Xiao Chen said.
"What? Demi-god weapon?"
Wang Pingbei was shocked.
"Yes, is it powerful?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Awesome, then why didn't you just buy the demigod weapon?"
Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
"If he couldn't buy it, he threw it into the furnace to melt it... He was not satisfied."
When Xiao Chen said this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
What he is after is a divine weapon?
This blacksmith... lives in seclusion here, why exactly?
Fallen leaves return to their roots?
He doesn’t believe it!
"Wha...what? You've made a demigod weapon and you're not satisfied yet? Have you melted it again?"
Wang Pingbei was even more surprised.
"yes."
Xiao Chen nodded, but the old man's disciples were not surprised at all.
Obviously this is not the first time this has happened, but it happens often.
It can be seen that... Blacksmith Zhang can cast a demigod weapon casually, so I'm afraid it's almost the same.
"Is he mentally ill?"
Wang Pingbei felt his heart ached. If he had been at the scene, he would have stopped it, right?
That's a demigod weapon!
Divine weapons are hard to find, and semi-divine weapons...are also hard to find!
"Even if you are not satisfied, you can sell it. You can sell a lot of spiritual stones."
"Haha, what does that mean? It means he doesn't care at all."
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei's painful appearance and smiled.
"It's not your sword, why do you feel bad about it?"
"That's a demigod soldier."
Wang Pingbei smiled bitterly.
"Throw it out and you'll definitely be able to steal your head."
"Beizi, you are no longer the genius of Qingyun Tower. You need to have a bigger picture."
Xiao Chen was a little dissatisfied.
"If word spreads about you acting like this, people will think it's not good to get along with me. If you say you act like this, it will embarrass me."
"Well, what should I do?"
Wang Pingbei couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's just a demigod soldier, don't take it too seriously, understand?"
Xiao Chen said, took out a magic weapon and threw it to Wang Pingbei.
"Take it, I'll use this one from now on."
"..."
Wang Pingbei was dumbfounded. The magic weapon... was given just as he said?
"Remember, you can't embarrass me... You have to have the attitude of 'the magic weapon is nothing more than that', do you understand?"
Xiao Chen said.
"Ah...I, I try to enlarge the situation and strive to have this attitude."
Wang Pingbei looked at the magic weapon in his hand and swallowed.
What a bullshit Qingyun Tower, that shabby place... even a dog won’t stand still!
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go buy a sword."
"Okay, okay."
Wang Pingbei couldn't put it down holding the magic weapon, feeling a little giddy when he walked.
This is something you only dare to think about when you are dreaming!
Ten minutes later, the two returned to the shop.
"Huh? Buy a sword?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the shopkeeper was stunned. Didn't he leave?
"What, you won't sell it?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Sell, sell, sell, of course."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and gave the sword to Xiao Chen.
"How much do you know about this blacksmith?"
Xiao Chen paid the spirit stone and asked.
"It doesn't count as understanding. It's just a simple cooperation between the two parties. He provided a sword a year and sold his life."
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"You said that if he has this skill, if he makes more swords, he can sell more spiritual stones? After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, he may be able to make such a sword in a year."
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless. Can he fight once in a year?
People can easily defeat demigods!
However, he also saw that the shopkeeper really didn't know Blacksmith Zhang that well.
"Tiejiang Zhang is a bit unsociable on weekdays... I haven't seen him say he has a good relationship with anyone."
The shopkeeper said again.
"Hmm... Did you call this 'Tiejiang Zhang'? Or did he say it himself?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"I don't know, that's what I shouted when I came here."
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Have you ever seen him hit anything else?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"There seems to be nothing but swords, right? I haven't heard of it."
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said.
"Then he is not a blacksmith."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he took the sword and prepared to leave.
"Then what is he?"
The shopkeeper was curious.
"Swordsmith."
Xiao Chen gently stroked the sword in his hand and turned to leave.
"Swordsmith?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but thinking about it again, it seems that this is really the case.
"Well, some people say that he used to be a weapon refiner~"
The shopkeeper muttered, looked at the spiritual stone in front of him, and smiled.
Then, he took out his own portion, then took part of it. After saying hello, he left the shop and headed to the back street.
Snap.
He came to Blacksmith Zhang's yard and knocked on the door.
"Shopkeeper Zhao."
The door opened and the man looked at the shopkeeper.
"Well, I came to see your master. The sword was sold. This is the spiritual stone."
The shopkeeper smiled.
"sold?"
The man looked happy and opened the door.
"Please come in."
"good."
The shopkeeper was a little strange. He had never been so happy selling swords before.
But he didn't think much about it. He entered the yard and saw the old man.
"Who bought it?"
The old man looked at the spiritual stone in front of him and asked.
"Well, I forgot to ask... Mainly because people are here to buy things, so it's not convenient for me to ask their names."
Shopkeeper Zhao said.
"They were two young men. They came here in the morning, left, and then came back just now and bought the sword."
"It's them?"
Before the old man could speak, the man said in surprise.
"Who? Have they been here?"
The shopkeeper was startled.
"Yes, I've been here."
The old man nodded.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Zhao, for making a trip. Come, have a sip of tea."
