Lin Yi nodded. It was easy to understand. In theory, being a blacksmith was even more expensive than being an alchemist. It was normal for an inner disciple of Blue Cloud Pavilion like the Worn-Out King to be unable to cook without rice.
Pausing for a moment, the Tattered King took a deep breath and stared at Lin Yi with a burning gaze, "The front claws and tail of the Cloud Nine Tailed Leopard are both rare materials that can only be found by luck. If Second Brother Lin trusts me, you can come to Clear Cloud Pavilion anytime, I'm willing to forge weapons for you for free."
"I see!" Only then did Lin Yi figure out the Worn-Out King's intention. He did not reply immediately. Instead, he asked, "May I know where your master is? Is there a place in the Three Pavilions that specializes in training blacksmiths? "
The Worn-Out King was stunned for a moment. He replied, "No, blacksmiths are a very unpopular profession. As far as I know, there aren't many serious blacksmiths in the north island, but there are quite a few in the middle island. As for my master, I learned from a blacksmith master named Sun Sikong by chance for a few days. The rest is what I learned from the materials. Don't worry, I can't boast about anything else, but I'm definitely good at forging weapons!"
"Can't boast about anything?" Lin Yi could not help but laugh. "But Chen Heihu and the others just said that you've never succeeded in forging weapons?"
"Uh …" The Worn-Out King choked. No matter how much he thought of himself as a blacksmith genius, it was a bloody fact. That was why people called him the Worn-Out King.
"I believe you'll succeed. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come to Blue Cloud Pavilion to look for you!" Lin Yi smiled at him.
He had a good impression of the Worn-Out King. He could tell that the Worn-Out King was a guy with real skills. However, even if he only had the worst materials, he still insisted on forging top-notch weapons. It would be a miracle if he could succeed in forging weapons with such a weird philosophy!
In any case, the front claws and tail of the Cloud Nine-Tailed Leopard were useless in his hands. If he had the time in the future, he might as well look for this fellow and study it together. Perhaps they could really forge something decent!
"Are you really willing to believe me?" The King of Junk was overjoyed. Originally, he didn't have any expectations for this matter. He just didn't want these good casting materials to be wasted, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to agree.
One had to know that although the profession of being a blacksmith had always been sought after, there were only a handful of people who could truly live up to this title.
For a blacksmith like the King of Junk who had never forged a decent weapon, he was a complete joke in the eyes of others. No one would take his words seriously. It was even more impossible for them to hand over their rare materials to him, not even if the King of Junk volunteered to forge for free.
Because once these materials were used to forge, there would only be two results. Either they succeeded and became a part of the Divine Weapon, or they failed. From then on, it became a pile of trash and no longer had any value.
With the King of Junk's embarrassing history, how could he succeed? Only a ghost would believe him! Oh, even a ghost would not believe him!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that out of 10,000 people, 9,999 people would not believe in the King of Junk's ability. However, he was lucky today. He met the last person who was willing to believe in him.
To him, this was probably the last straw to clutch at. If he couldn't seize this opportunity to clear his name, he might have to spend the rest of his life with this embarrassing title of 'King of Rags'.
Seeing that Lin Yi nodded affirmatively, the King of Junk was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently, "Then, thank you so much. Brother Lin, don't worry, I'll definitely forge something good for you. I won't waste these great materials. Whenever you're free, come find me at the Blue Cloud Pavilion. I'll be waiting for you! "
"Alright, I've got some urgent matters to attend to at the moment. I'll be counting on you when the time comes." Lin Yi responded.
Although he believed that the King of Junk had the ability to forge weapons. After all, the guy's embarrassing zero success rate was right in front of him. He had to be careful. If he handed the materials to the King of Junk hastily, it might really go to waste.
Therefore. Even though he had promised the King of Junk to help him forge weapons, Lin Yi decided to follow him throughout the process. He could also observe and learn how to forge weapons.
No matter what, the King of Junk was a proper blacksmith. His attainments in the aspect of blacksmithing were much more profound than that of a layman like Zhang Tie, who had to fumble around by himself.
After all, although Lin Yi had repaired the Godly Pesticide Cauldron, expanded the space of the jade pendant, made the Essence Necklace, and forged the Heaven-level Heavenly Weapon by himself, these could not be considered as real forging weapons. If he wanted to forge a real Heavenly Weapon by himself, he still had to put in the effort and learn systematically.
That was because forging weapons was not based on a blueprint. It required creation and combining different materials into one. It was not simply based on a blueprint!
There were thousands of materials in the world. If everyone could forge the same Heavenly Weapon, what would be the difference?
In this aspect, no matter how bad the reputation of the King of Junk was, he was qualified to be Lin Yi's teacher. Lin Yi would definitely benefit a lot from observing and learning together.
However, although he had agreed to it, Lin Yi estimated that it would take at least a few months to ask the King of Junk for help.
That was because the time spent on forging weapons was far more than that on refining elixirs. It could easily take a few months, or even eight to ten years. Moreover, Lin Yi had to deal with the newcomer's assessment in the Welcome Pavilion. He did not have that much free time. Therefore, he could only wait until the matter was over.
"Well, it's okay. Brother Lin, you can do as you please. The patience of a blacksmith is not for show. I can wait no matter how long it takes!" The King of Junk did not care at all and kept nodding.
For him, it was already a great thing that Lin Yi had agreed to let him forge weapons for him. As for waiting for a period of time, it was not a problem at all. He could wait no matter how long it took!
At this moment, the King of Junk even began to think about which auxiliary materials to match the front claws and whip tail of the Nine-tailed Cloud-piercing Bag.
Although it was very difficult for him to get anything good with his ability, if he could use some of the scraps in the corner well, it could also have an unexpected magical effect. This was where his core value as an Armament Master was reflected!
