Bai Ningxuan was unfamiliar with Cyan Yang City and naturally followed wherever Qin Yuesheng went. Unlike other young girls who would run up to anything interesting for a closer look, Bai Ningxuan quietly trailed behind Qin Yuesheng, eyes fixed ahead, standing tall and exuding a chill elegance to the extre.
The two arrived at the Qin family’s blacksmith shop. Just as Qin Yuesheng was about to enter, he suddenly heard from inside an extrely clear and resonant sound of tal striking, causing his energy and spirit to be subtly stirred, as if a mountain spring flowed over a sandy ground, and a gentle breeze brushed over green hills, making one feel exceedingly comfortable.
This sound contained countless mysteries, and Qin Yuesheng quickly ran inside, intending to find the source of the sound.
Inside the blacksmith shop, beside the largest forge, an old man in a blue robe was bare-chested, wielding an obviously extraordinary double-headed flat hamr, striking continuously.
His hamring posture was very graceful, like a master diligently crafting his work. Nearby, a group of blacksmiths from the Qin family’s shop were assisting him, their faces filled with admiration.
Curious, Qin Yuesheng pulled aside an apprentice from the shop and asked, "What’s going on, who is this person?"
The apprentice, full of excitent, forgot to greet Qin Yuesheng upon seeing him and directly replied, "Young master, it’s the ’Weapon Master’ Zhang Longquan."
"What? This person is Zhang Longquan?!"
Upon hearing the na Zhang Longquan, Qin Yuesheng looked calm, not knowing who this person was. However, Bai Ningxuan, who was following him, couldn’t help but be slightly shocked, as if the na had caused a great impact on her heart.
"You know?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Of course, one of the Four Wonders of the Central Plains, how could I not know?" Bai Ningxuan looked at the old man in blue robe and said, "dicine, Weapons, Armor, Beasts - these four are known as the Four Wonders of the Central Plains. They each excel in refining dicine, crafting weapons, forging armor, and nurturing beasts, each enjoying top achievents in their fields, admired by countless people. Zhang Longquan is the ’Weapons’ among them. Any weapon crafted by him becos a top-notch Divine Weapon. People seek his help to forge weapons, martial artists offer unique martial arts, wealthy rchants are willing to pay thousands in gold, emperors are willing to grant five cities, all to have a Divine Weapon personally crafted by Zhang Longquan.
Yet Zhang Longquan acts solely on his whim. If he’s in the mood, he might give you a weapon even if you pay nothing. If he’s unwilling, even if you threaten to kill him, he won’t lift a hamr. Furthermore, his extraordinary abilities an even the imperial court can’t deal with him."
Qin Yuesheng finally understood and asked the apprentice, "When did this old gentleman arrive?"
"Young master, it’s been ten days. He was passing by and just ca into our blacksmith shop for a look around. Who would have thought that seeing Master Wang using the two materials you sent to craft a weapon, he imdiately called Master Wang a blind man squandering materials, injured Master Wang, and took matters into his own hands."
"He even dared to hurt soone? How is Master Wang, was he injured?" Qin Yuesheng asked again.
"Not much injured, just a broken bone. Later, seeing Master Zhang’s extraordinary weapon crafting techniques, Master Wang stayed by his side to help as an assistant."
Qin Yuesheng: "..."
No wonder he is one of the Four Wonders, truly peculiar.
Qin Yuesheng imdiately walked closer to take a look and saw on the forge platform a spear laid out. This spear was unusually long, a full ten feet, and the materials were provided by Qin Yuesheng. He could tell at a glance that the spearhead was made from the horn of a Purple Flood Dragon, and the spear shaft from the refined wood of Elder Huai.
Though the design was ancient, it inherently revealed an aura of sharpness. Surely, when wielded, it would have the montum of a dragon.
Bam!
Zhang Longquan struck with the hamr, and instantly the spear’s body compressed significantly. It’s certain that the initial horn of the dragon would have turned into its current form due to Zhang Longquan’s countless refinents.
Suddenly, this man’s nostrils flared, and two strands of grey flas surged out from Zhang Longquan’s nose, akin to two long serpents entwining the spear body.
Imdiately the spear body burned in the flas, becoming more solid and weighty.
At the appearance of the grey fla, everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts. Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan were fine, but the blacksmiths turned pale, trembling as if facing a deadly foe.
Qin Yuesheng’s expression changed instantly because he had seen this fla before. In the scenes from the mory of the Infernal Soldier’s Ox-Head, it was using Samadhi True Fla to temper a Double-Bladed Fork, and that Samadhi True Fla was identical to the grey fla Zhang Longquan was using now, the sa thing.
Samadhi True Fla!
This is a supre technique attainable only when one’s essence, energy, and spirit reach the perfection of Primordial Essence, Primordial Qi, and Primordial Spirit, stepping into the Grandmaster Realm.
This seemingly ordinary Zhang Longquan was actually a Grandmaster!
A Grandmaster, in the entire world, is as elusive as a dragon, so hard to et. Seeing a Grandmaster is more difficult than eting an emperor.
To see an emperor, at least there are ways, you know where the emperor is. But Grandmasters are nomadic, making a ho in the seas and oceans. eting one relies purely on fate.
What’s more mysterious is that except for a few elder Grandmasters, it has been many years since anyone knew if a new Grandmaster had been born in this world.
