Hao Ren finished mixing the two techniques together and then he looked at the artifact he had refined and found that the grade of his normal skills has increased once more. He didn't bother to learn about the making runes from the grandmasters, because that would be betrayal to himself and them.
His own technique of embedded runes was unique, and he wouldn't want to trade it with anyone for anything. So, how could he expect the sa from the people around him. The young man sighed as he felt guilty because ultimately, to learn the techniques of various masters he had deceived them.
In his mind there was a constant thought revolving around. He sighed and decided to co clean about it. He turned around holding the spear in his hand and then he said, "Teacher, I want to co clean about sothing of great importance."
The two old n were surprised, firstly they were taken aback by the fact that Hao Ren addressed them as teacher, and then by the fact that he ntioned sothing of great importance. They nodded and Hao Ren cast a barrier around the three of them.
He took a deep breath and replied, "Teachers, actually, my real na is Hao Ren and I am a grandmaster who has perceived the spirit of Refining Saint Tang Sen from the hamr he left behind in the Iron Mountain City."
The two people were stunned and Hao Ren took out his Grandmaster Badge and continued, "The reason I hid my real identity because I was told to be wary of the Council Master in the city. I apologize for cheating you both, but please believe I will give these techniques to suitable people in the future."
The two old n turned to look at each other and Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "No wonder you are so skilled."
Grandmaster Serene Stor stroked his beard and remarked, "While we have no ill will that you learned our techniques, I do find it odd that you are told to hide from that old relic. Why must you hide?"
Hao Ren wanted to say sothing but Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "Have you not known that the old relic is obsessed with finding out the secrets of the Saint Artifact? If not for that obsession, that old relic would have advanced to another realm already, but his obsession has caused him to develop a heart knot. Many have tried but they are all rebuked. So, Hao Ren, who has already perceived three relics was to co before him, that old man would fight him to death so that Hao Ren could not lay his gaze upon the Celestial Anvil."
Hao Ren nodded, he also learned the na of the saint artifact, and he smiled slightly. Serene Stor thought for a mont and said, "Well, the saint artifact is stored inside a special world. That old relic cannot access it as he wishes. Over the years, many people have gotten a chance to look at the artifact by winning the Divine Hamr Contest. What do you think? If Hao Ren enters the competition with his alternative identity, Ling Shihao, he should be able to get inside the special realm as a reward and there he could perceive the relic without worrying about the Council Head."
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr thought for a bit and said, "Well, this can be done, in the coming three m0nths, you can enter the contest and work your way up from their. However, you have to gain so fa in the city. The contest is a very big deal and so geniuses from the foreign lands also co over to participate. But to do that, they need a recomndation letter from five grandmasters. You are technically a foreigner, so you need to get so recognition. You have two, but need three more."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "We need to co up with sothing."
Serene Stor replied, "You can take the assistant job at my place as well, and produce weapons under your own na. I will allow you that."
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr nodded and replied, "The sa goes for ."
Hao Ren was surprised once again, he could not understand why these two people were willing to give him the privilege. He asked, "Why are you helping so much teachers?"
The two old n turned to look at each other and then they chuckled as Serene Stor replied, "That old relic is soone we all look down upon constantly. However, his realm has always been the reason he can suppress us. Imagine soone who was born grumpy and then he decided to make the rest of the people grumpy as well. His disciple is even bigger pickle in the mix. Tch, forget it, you just focus on making the weapons and you can keep the commission to yourself."
Hao Ren nodded and then he said, "I will work ten hours with Grandmaster Flaming Hamr and then ten hours with you, and four hours to restore my spiritual energy as well."
The two old n agreed and Hao Ren waved his hand to remove the barrier and then the two old n gave each other a glance and then Grandmaster Flaming Hamr led Hao Ren back to his courtyard and on the way they shopped for a lot of tals and the old man said, "You cannot refine high level spirit artifacts. The rest are fine, it will solidify your cover."
Hao Ren nodded in understanding and when they reached the house, he got to work directly. After an hour, the young man took off his shirt and began to pound the tal in quick succession. He refined the usage of the new technique that he had learned using the foundation of his basic hamring skills.
He didn't care about anything else in the surroundings, it was just him and his hamr swinging down on the tal on the anvil. The old steward on the side was so shocked that he could not understand how Hao Ren was working so fast.
His task was simple, collect the completed artifacts and deliver them to various clients. However, when he saw Hao Ren producing artifacts every ten minutes, he could not understand what to do.
Hao Ren had switched from the flas produced by the array on the ground to his own flas, and he found that his flas were better than the flas from the bottom of the ground. He did sense so vibration from his fla and he said, "Do you want to kill like that? If you go out and eat that fla under the ground, you will destroy the entire city and the livelihood of all the refiners here."
…
Outside the city, people who had co over to purchase artifacts were shocked when they found so nice high level, lower spiritual artifacts. They all rushed up to the Fla Stor store. This place was where the two grandmasters sold their goods.
It has been a week since Hao Ren finished the orders, many people were surprised to receive their products stamped by the seal of soone other than the grandmaster. However, before they could make a ruckus, the steward told them to try the weapons, and the results shocked the clients.
Hao Ren's weapons were higher in quality even when they were from the sa grade. Now, the word of superior quality goods spread around the city and the travelers. Everyone wanted to get their hands on it, and so the store was stord.
The two grandmasters sitting on the second floor were having tea, and Grand Master Flaming Hamr said, "Well, the word is in the wind, when do you think they would be coming over?"
Grandmaster Serene Stor said, "Yesterday, Amad delivered a sword for the niece of Grandmaster Amira, and believe , that woman would be the fastest to react. I am guessing that she would co over by tomorrow at the latest."
The other old man nodded and just when the cup of tea was about to finish, Amad, the shopkeeper ca over to the first floor, and said, "Master, the shop is sold out."
His words caused the two old n took turn around with a snap and Serene Stor asked, "How many tis has it been now?"
Amad replied, "Ten."
In the past one week, ten tis the shop has run out of weapons refined by Hao Ren. The people were buying things like there was no tomorrow. Hearing this, Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "Tell the people that there would be no weapons coming till next week. The refiner is resting."
Serene Stor was caught off guard but he agreed and told the shopkeeper to do as told and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr replied, "If the sale is this high, the word would reach Tian Teicong. I don't want that pissant to be near Hao Ren until the contest. That motherfucker will create trouble."
