With the exception of Xiao Wu, when everyone heard his words, they all felt a chill down their spines. Tang San's calm expression suddenly became frightening.
The day quickly passed, Tang San accompanied Xiao Wu in his room, cultivating while Xiao Wu slept. Oscar, Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun strolled around Gengxin city.
On the evening of the second day, Si Long came.
At this time, Oscar and the other two had not returned yet, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, Titan and two of Titan's clan members were in the inn.
Tang San brought Xiao Wu to Titan's room to see Si Long.
Si Long said: "The various metals are almost ready. Because most of them are rare metals, these past two days I have ransacked almost all of the association's storage and finally managed to gather all of them. Only the last bit of black iron will be delivered tomorrow morning. "
Tang San smiled: "Then I will have to trouble president."
Si Long laughed and said: "It's not really hard, I am still hoping that you will come a few more times in the future." Titan asked: "What about that old Lou Gao? What has he been doing these past two days? "
At the mention of Lou Gao, Si Long suddenly smiled bitterly, "Vice president Titan. My Uncle Titan. What exactly did you give teacher! These past two days. Teacher did not sleep or rest, he did not even have time to eat. All he did was look at that blueprint. From time to time he would operate it himself, as if he was obsessed with it. "
Tang San and Titan looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. When Titan first saw the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle blueprint, he was also like this. But what Tang San showed Titan was the complete blueprint, so there were still some clues to follow. But what Lou Gao saw was only a third of the blueprint. There were many mysteries, but it was even more difficult to understand.
Titan said: "It's fine. Just let him watch. We will leave Gengxin City tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll just take him away. Don't worry, I'll remind him tonight. Let him announce to the public that you've succeeded as the association's president. "
Si Long was still a little worried, "Uncle Titan. That's how I'll address you. Frankly speaking, the teacher left alone. I'm really worried. "He was about to become the next president, so he didn't need to address Titan as the vice president.
Titan laughed and said, "What? Are you afraid that we will harm him? But now, even if we don't let him go with us. He's probably going to come back to Heaven Dou City with us. I know the attraction of that thing. Don't worry, Lou Gao will be fine with me. Perhaps it wouldn't even take a few years. Our profession as blacksmiths will gradually flourish. At that time, you will understand why Lou Gao insisted on leaving with us. "
Si Long's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, he thought for a moment and said, "I have discussed this with my Junior Brothers. That's good. Out of the four of us, two will go with you. Of the four of us, other than Si Di who is still a Maestro. The rest are all Grand Masters. I'll let Si Yu and Si Kai these two Grand Master blacksmiths go with you to Heaven Dou City, and at the same time take care of teacher. After all, teacher is getting old. "
Hearing this, Tang San and Titan couldn't help but be overjoyed. Grand Master blacksmiths were not easy to find. Tang San had heard Titan say that upon reaching the Grand Master level, there was only a thin line separating them from a Divine Blacksmith. The value of two Grand Master blacksmiths to Tang Gate was not something money could measure. Adding on Lou Gao, the weight of these three, in Tang San's opinion, was heavier than all the metals they bought this time.
Tang San said without hesitation, "Then it's decided. President Si Long, please rest assured, we will definitely treat Senior Lou Gao and your two Junior Brothers well. Elder Titan is right, perhaps it won't be long before the blacksmithing profession will once again flourish on the continent. "
As they were talking, Ning Rongrong's excited voice came from outside. "We're back." Ning Rongrong didn't even knock on the door, smiling as she pushed it open and entered, seeing Si Long was also there. Only then did the expression on her face recede a bit. Oscar and Ma Hongjun followed behind her into the room.
Si Long smiled, "How was your harvest?"
Ning Rongrong giggled and said, "Not bad, not bad. It can be considered a small harvest. " As she spoke, she flicked her wrist, the soul tool bracelet on her wrist flashed, and a piece of ore the size of a human head appeared on the table.
Seeing this piece of ore, the pupils of Tang San, Titan and Si Long all shrunk at the same time.
It was a somewhat turbid crystal, if one only looked at the crystal, it seemed to be of extremely poor quality, not very transparent. It was also somewhat yellow, the colour was not pure.
However, within this piece of crystal, there was a large piece of glittering gold.
"Plate Crystal Gold." Tang San, Titan and Si Long said almost at the same time.
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Ning Rongrong giggled and said, "This thing cost me quite a bit of money. Brother, I've heard about it from you before, I didn't buy it wrong right? "
Tang San was speechless, compared to the plate crystal he was lucky enough to buy from Flanders, this piece's purity was even higher, the amount of gold inside was extremely high. Although his Dragon Beard Needle was not damaged much, but for the future production of the Peacock Plume, as well as other hidden weapons, the value of this plate crystal was too high. "That's right, this is a plate crystal. Rongrong, how much did you spend? Sell it to me. "
Ning Rongrong giggled, Ma Hongjun beside her could not help but interject, "What do you mean sell it to me! Rongrong only spent one gold spirit coin, the boss even looked at us like we were idiots for a long time. "
"One gold spirit coin?" Si Long exclaimed, with a bitter smile on his face he said, "How come I've never encountered such a good thing. I'll pay one thousand gold spirit coins. Are you guys selling it? "
Ning Rongrong giggled and said, "So easy to earn! Selling it for a thousand times the price. But, you should ask Brother. Now this thing is his. "
Si Long looked at Tang San with a burning gaze, but all he saw was Tang San's deep blue eyes. Tang San apologetically said, "I'm sorry, President Si Long, this plate crystal is equally important to me."
Si Long thoughtfully said, "You want to make it into an ornament?"
With a flick of his wrist, Tang San produced a small golden bean the size of a grain of rice. "In my hands, it's not an ornament, but a killing weapon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger lightly. Everyone could see Tang San's every move clearly, but at the same time, they could feel his unparalleled speed.
There was no sound. Everyone only saw a flash of golden light, and there was an additional golden line in the crystal plate.
Ever since he met Tang San, this was the first time Tang San had shown off his skills in front of Si Long. Si Long only felt a chill in his heart, he did not know why, but this young man in front of him suddenly gave him a very dangerous feeling, even more so than Titan.
"Brother, how did you do it? Can you teach me? "Ning Rongrong widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Tang San excitedly.
Tang San said helplessly, "You have to learn from me. You have to give up your martial spirit, and you have to train for at least ten years. Does it really look like fun? You can imagine what it would feel like when it enters a human body. "
Titan's eyes lit up, "This is the Dragon Beard Needle."
Tang San smiled, "This crystal plate, can be used to make at least a thousand Dragon Beard Needles."
After seeing Tang San's performance, Si Long could no longer say he wanted to buy this crystal plate. In Tang San's hands, this crystal plate would be much more useful than in his hands.
Tang San said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, what other good things did you buy? It looks like your luck is really good! "
Ning Rongrong giggled and said, "I also bought a few other things, but I'm not sure what they are."
As she said this, her bracelet shook and a series of things appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing Tang San saw was a jet-black ore, the surface of the ore carried a faint cold air, it looked like a jet-black iron ore. This was the biggest thing Ning Rongrong had taken out of all the things, it was about a meter in diameter, but its weight was extremely shocking, after it landed on the floor, the whole floor shook.
Tang San, Titan and Si Long, the three people who knew what was good, were once again shocked. Titan was one step ahead, coming to the front of this jet-black ore, he raised his hand and pressed on the surface of the ore, "The temperature is not right, this is not an ordinary iron ore."
Si Long's eyes flashed with a special light, he looked at Ning Rongrong with a pleading look, "Miss Ning, can you let me identify what this ore is?"
Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Of course you can. I picked this ore from a place that sells iron ore, it's a fine iron price. According to its size, it should be worth one gold spirit coin. "
Oscar continued, "That's less than a gold soul coin. I also included a piece of this, it's also very heavy. " He pointed to the side of the black ore, there was a piece of grey ore that was only one third the size of the black ore. The surface of this ore had a faint metallic luster, it looked like an ordinary stone.
Si Long slowly raised his right hand, a golden light first appeared in the center of his palm, followed by a flash of golden light, a small pure gold chisel appeared out of thin air. One white, two yellow, three purple, one black, four spirit rings quietly appeared around this small chisel, it looked much smaller than all the Soul Master spirit rings that Tang San and the others had seen before.
From the spirit ring composition, Si Long's spirit rings were obviously not that good. As a Soul Sage, he only had a single ten thousand year spirit ring. However, his peculiar Martial Soul attracted everyone's attention.
Titan whispered, "Si Long's spirit is the Diamond Chisel, it is best at identifying all kinds of ores and crafting exquisite objects. With at least eighty percent of Lou Gao's teachings, his position in the forging world is extremely high. "
As a Spirit Sage, although Si Long did not have any talent in battle, and even Meyers who was a lower level than him could bully him, but when his martial spirit appeared in his hand, the Diamond Chisel, his entire aura immediately underwent an earth-shattering change.
At this moment, Tang San even felt that the Si Long in front of him was as focused as Yang Wudi with the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand.
A golden light flashed, no one could clearly see how many spirit rings lit up on Si Long's Diamond Chisel, the tip of the chisel had already touched the black ore.
With a light ding sound, the black ore suddenly burst out with a crisp crackling sound, a golden light instantly spread from the point of contact to the entire ore. Like a net, the golden light wrapped around the entire ore, as if penetrating it. Yes, that was the feeling of penetration.
A series of crisp crackling sounds rang out, and a faint smoke burst out from the surface of the ore. Under the light touch of Si Long's Diamond Chisel, the outer layer of the ore was evenly split open, followed by a thick cold air spreading out, the temperature of the entire room dropped rapidly.
Titan waved his hand, and a thick layer of spirit power swept away the outer layer of the ore. Immediately, it revealed the same black metal ore inside.
Although it was also black, it was black without any impurities. With his Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San could clearly see that the density of this metal ore was extremely high, even with his Hyperfocus state Purple Demon Eyes, it was difficult to find a gap. It was as deep as the void, just by looking at it, even those who did not understand metals would be able to see that this ore was not as simple as iron ore.
The golden light faded away, Si Long had already withdrawn his spirit. His eyes were already somewhat lifeless, and with an extremely difficult tone he muttered, "Heart Chilling Iron, it really is Heart Chilling Iron. Such a big piece … "
Ning Rongrong blinked her extremely pure and beautiful big eyes. "President Si Long, this looks pretty good, are you not going to buy it?"
Si Long looked at Ning Rongrong with a strange look in his eyes, "Miss Ning, Heart Chilling Iron is the hardest metal in the continent. It's not that I don't want to buy it, but I really can't afford it. Its price is ten times that of black iron. Even if you let me search for it in the whole of Gengxin City, there would not be more than five kilograms. This piece of yours is at least a few hundred kilograms, its value is astronomical. "
Speaking up to here, he paused and muttered, "Miss Ning, can you tell me, how did you find all these things?"
Ning Rongrong smiled without saying a word, Oscar who was beside her could not bear to watch any longer, and said with a smile, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is not only the world's number one auxiliary sect. At the same time, with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, Soul Master also has an extremely strong appraisal ability. Rongrong had a fortuitous encounter, in terms of appraising treasures, her ability even surpasses that of Master Ning. "
If it was just finding a high quality ore, perhaps it could be explained by luck, but Ning Rongrong's was obviously not as simple as luck. She did not even know what the things she bought were, but she could roughly feel the value of these things.
Tang San's heart was deeply shaken, the Heart Chilling Iron that Si Long spoke of, he also knew of it, in his previous world it was called Cold Iron Essence. Moreover, towards this metal, Tang San could be said to have a deep affection for it, because, he had personally used this metal to create a unique and peerless hidden weapon, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus. Heart Chilling Iron was the most important material for creating the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, it was also the core material, and was one of the three main cores needed to create the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.
Ning Rongrong's gaze shifted to the unremarkable grey stone beside the Heart Chilling Iron, and said something that once again attracted everyone's attention.
"I feel that. This stone's value seems to be the highest among all these things. "
"What?" Si Long practically leapt over without any hesitation. If the Heart Chilling Iron before could be said to have emitted some sort of aura, then, this piece of metal did not give off any special aura.
Tang San and Titan also came forward, suddenly, Tang San's body trembled violently, "It can't be such a coincidence."
Raising his hand, he slowly stroked the ore that was only a third the size of the Heart Chilling Iron, his gaze suddenly became fiery, his spirit power surged, in a flash of black light, the Haotian Hammer appeared in his hand out of thin air.
Straightening his body, Tang San motioned for everyone to step back, Si Long's gaze was already firmly fixed on his Haotian Hammer, at this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning behind Titan's respectful attitude towards Tang San.
With the tip of his left foot pointing forward, the [Mysterious Heaven Skill] filled his body with inner energy, with a whoosh, the piece of ore was lifted up. Using the tip of his left foot as an axis, Tang San's body rapidly rotated once, his entire body was like a large bow that was pulled into a full moon shape, when the grey ore reached its highest point, his body also appeared to pause for a moment, and in the next moment, this large bow was released.
Boom — —
The Haotian Hammer swept out horizontally, the black light collided with the grey ore, and in the next moment, everyone could only hear a buzzing sound in their ears. The grey ore did not break under the bombardment of the Haotian Hammer, instead it broke through the wall, and at the same time, Tang San's body also disappeared.
The buzzing sound in everyone's ears had not yet disappeared, Tang San had already appeared out of thin air in the middle of the room, and the grey ore was in his arms.
Withstanding the full force of Tang San's hammer. This grey ore did not have a single crack on it, not even a dent was left on its surface, as if nothing had happened.
Titan and Si Long simultaneously came over, Si Long's diamond chisel appeared again, and with Tang San's approval, the chisel struck the grey ore. After a light ding sound, the spot where the chisel struck the stone flashed a silver light, but when Si Long lifted the chisel, it returned to normal.
"What kind of metal is this? I've never seen it before, it's so tough. If the Heart Chilling Iron was said to be the hardest metal, then this piece of metal would definitely be the toughest. Its quality is even higher than the Heart Chilling Iron. This, how is this possible? I've studied forging my whole life, but I've never seen such a strange metal! "
Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong. "This time you've really picked up a big treasure. I've also never seen this piece of metal before. But, if I'm not wrong, it should be the mother of the Deep Sea Sunken Silver. "
Si Long still did not understand the significance of the Deep Sea Sunken Silver, but Titan understood. After the initial shock, he became overjoyed, "So, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle can …"
Tang San smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say. At least, whether it's you or me, or even Lou Gao Maestro, none of us can successfully forge this Deep Sea Sunken Silver, it's just too tough. And as far as I know, the Deep Sea Sunken Silver cannot be melted by any flames. If you want to use it to forge, you can only forge it while it's still alive. We don't have this kind of ability. "
Titan thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid only the master from back then could do it."
Hearing Titan mention his father, Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of light, "I've got it, maybe I really have a way. But, this matter needs to be delayed. "
After saying this, his figure flashed once, and all the things that Ning Rongrong had bought disappeared into thin air. All of them were stored into the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges.
Tang San's heart beat faster. Because, he finally had the chance to forge the peerless hidden weapons that he had worked hard for his entire life. Peacock Plume, Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, Buddha Fury Tang Lotus. Are we finally going to meet again in this world? If he could successfully forge these three hidden weapons, even if he faced the true experts of the Martial Soul Palace, what was there to be afraid of?
Si Long constantly took deep breaths, not allowing any evil thoughts to arise in his heart. Everything that had happened just now had too much of an impact on him. Heart Chilling Iron, Deep Sea Sunken Silver, these kinds of treasures could only be found by chance. They were as precious as a hundred thousand year spirit ring in the world of blacksmithing. He had lived in Gengxin City for so many years, yet he could not even compare to someone who had only been in Gengxin City for a few days. That kind of pain was not something that could be described with words. Si Long suddenly found himself envious of his teacher, at least his teacher could wash his hands and let go of everything. As a top grade blacksmith, a divine blacksmith, being able to use the best materials to forge, how wonderful was that!
Although Tang Hao had once said that only a blacksmith who could forge a divine weapon from ordinary iron was a true divine blacksmith. But, if a divine blacksmith were to use divine iron to forge, what kind of scene would that be?
After finally calming himself down with great difficulty, Si Long said to the crowd, "I am here to invite all of you to participate in tonight's auction. I have already made my preparations. Everyone, please follow me now. From what I know, there should be a few rare treasures being auctioned tonight. There are finished products and also metals. "
Tang San had been silently observing Si Long, from Si Long's eyes he could see an extreme desire, even a little bit of greed, but he did not see any evil intentions. At this time, the president's eyes had become clear again. As a top grade blacksmith, for him to be able to do this, it was clear that he was a good person. No wonder Lou Gao left the Blacksmith Association to him to manage.
Other than the inn, there was only the Blacksmith Association headquarters. Coming here again, the number of people on the first floor was much less than the last time. Perhaps it was because it was already very late.
Instead of going directly to the fourth floor where the auction was held, they first went to the third floor, which was used to test the blacksmith's rank. Si Long brought everyone into a room and gave each of them a large black cloak, covering their heads and faces, only revealing their mouths, noses and eyes, obviously to prevent their identities from being revealed. After all, the auction itself was a very private matter. Many buyers and sellers did not want their identities to be revealed.
Once again going up to the fourth floor, Tang San saw many people wearing the same clothes as them slowly walking into the auction hall. No one spoke, everything was very quiet, this seemed to be the rule of the Blacksmith Association auction house.
"Wait a minute." Just as they were about to enter the auction house, a black ball suddenly appeared beside them.
Tang San's heart skipped a beat, immediately recognizing the person shrouded in black, it was none other than the president of the Blacksmith Association, Divine Blacksmith Lou Gao.
Lou Gao's figure was really a bit strange, so at first glance, it was like looking at a black ball. At this time he was looking up at Tang San, his eyes were bloodshot. Obviously it was as Si Long said, for the past two days this Divine Blacksmith had not had a good rest and had been obsessed with the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle blueprint.
"I'll go in with you." Lou Gao deliberately lowered his voice and walked into the auction hall.
Everyone followed behind him and entered a world of darkness.
The entire auction hall was pitch black, only a few dim lights on the floor to guide the way. Under Lou Gao and Si Long's lead, everyone quickly came to the front row of seats. It felt like the overall layout of this place was like a large theater.
Tang San's vision was naturally not affected by the darkness, the semicircle shaped auction hall had about 200 seats, in front was a huge rectangular platform, obviously used to display the items being auctioned. At this time the auction hall was already 50% full, but there was still an endless stream of people entering. The entire auction hall was very quiet, even the occasional chatter was suppressed.
Lou Gao brought everyone to the front row and sat down, he himself sat next to Tang San, on the other side of Tang San was his Xiao Wu.
Just as Lou Gao sat down, he whispered into Tang San's ear: "Kid, I want all the blueprints."
Tang San smiled and said: "No problem, when we return to Tang Gate, senior will naturally see it. In the future we will have to rely on senior's divine skill. "
Lou Gao snorted and said: "Alright. You don't need to play dumb with me. I can also see that the things shown on the blueprints you gave me cannot be mass-produced. But, as long as one is made, it will be a world-shaking divine item. I intend to use Heart Chilling Iron to make it, what do you think? About two kilograms of Heart Chilling Iron should be enough. "
Listening to Lou Gao's words, Tang San couldn't help but secretly admire him, as expected of a divine craftsman, after only looking at the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle blueprint for two days. It was still incomplete, but he could already see the importance of the materials needed to make the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle.
Lightly shaking his head, Tang San said: "Heart Chilling Iron is not good, it is hard enough, but not tough enough. When used to make the mechanism, it may collapse due to too much force. Don't worry, I have already prepared a suitable metal for you. It's just that this metal needs to be used by a specific person. When we return to Tang Gate, I will tell you everything. "
Lou Gao suddenly became silent. After a long while. He suddenly said to Tang San: "Kid. I will join your Tang Gate, I don't need any rewards, but I have a request. "
"Please speak."
Lou Gao said in a low voice: "My request. As long as it is something that I make, it can only have my name on it. "
Tang San nodded his head, said: "That's fine. But it must also have the words' Tang Gate 'on it. After all, the blueprints are provided by us, isn't that right? "
Lou Gao nodded his head, his bloodshot eyes flashing with an extremely resolute light, "Perhaps, this is another way to change the status of blacksmiths. I will definitely make a few treasures, and let those guys from Martial Soul Palace see, that us blacksmiths can also reach the same heights as them. "
Tang San sincerely said: "I believe, you will definitely succeed."
Towards this old man beside him, a trace of respect arose in his heart. Lou Gao's obsession and dedication towards blacksmithing, his unsparing ability to raise the status of blacksmiths, were all worthy of respect. His participation, will definitely bring Tang Gate's hidden weapons forging to a new peak.
Tang San didn't know, because of his simple conversation with Lou Gao today, thousands of years later, Tang Gate's hidden weapons with Lou Gao's name, will be the only hidden weapons with Tang San's name as a priceless treasure.
Their eyes suddenly lit up, causing most people's eyes to be unable to adapt. A beam of light appeared on the platform in front of them, under the beam of light, an old man about 50 years old wearing a formal attire stood there.
"Welcome to all distinguished guests. I am Si Di. Today's auction is about to begin. Everyone please take a seat. Although everyone participating in the auction should be old friends, but I still have to repeat myself. During the bidding process, please raise the sign next to your seat as a sign of bidding, and at the same time state your price. Although I know it's impossible, but I still hope that every distinguished guest will return satisfied. "
A calm and flattering opening speech. The old man on the platform was Lou Gao's youngest disciple, Si Di, and also the only one among his 4 disciples that wasn't a grandmaster blacksmith. Of course, he was also the father of the soldier captain that day.
The blacksmith association's workers slowly pushed a platform covered in red cloth onto the stage. It could be seen that the item on the platform was extremely heavy. The four workers pushed it with some difficulty.
"Next, we will begin today's first auction item, this is a special piece of metal. Purity over 90%, weight two hundred and thirty one kilograms. I won't keep you in suspense, this is a piece of black iron. In all these years, this is the first time I've seen such a large piece of black iron. Presumably every distinguished guest knows, even if just a little bit of black iron is fused with ordinary steel, it will cause a qualitative change. Such a large piece of black iron, and the quality is also extremely high, it can't be calculated with a single unit price. Therefore, we specially brought it to this auction as the first item. Its base price is twenty thousand gold spirit coins, each increment is at least a hundred gold spirit coins. Now distinguished guests can bid. "
While speaking, Si Di lifted up the red cloth, revealing the black iron's true appearance.
Two hundred and thirty one kilogram of black iron, even Tang San couldn't help being moved. Just as Si Di said, such a large piece of black iron was extremely rare, and of excellent quality. Black iron was also known as the finishing touch, using it as an alloy material could greatly increase the toughness of other metals, absolutely a rare good thing.
When Si Di announced the start of the bidding, Tang San immediately felt Ning Rongrong's gaze on him.
Tang San's heart stirred, and he slowly nodded.
The bidding had already begun. Clear voices could be heard coming from the back.
"Twenty-three thousand gold spirit coins." A resonant voice directly pushed the price up, suppressing the previous bidders.
Si Di smiled faintly, saying: "Guest number 132 bids twenty-three thousand gold spirit coins, is there a higher bid? Good, guest number 164 bids twenty-three thousand five hundred gold spirit coins. … … "
The price continued to rise, but Ning Rongrong wasn't in a hurry to act, and Tang San also calmly sat on the fishing platform. Who would complain about something as good as black iron? Hoarding it would be the foundation of forging in the future. If a bit more black iron was added to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, not only would the bearing capacity of the mechanism greatly increase, the crossbow bolts' penetrative power would naturally increase as well. With enough black iron, then the somewhat larger Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Titan's plan could be completed.
Very soon, the price of this piece of black iron had already risen to twenty-five thousand gold spirit coins.
