Forging a spiritual weapon.
Even as an upper-grade forging master, Qin Shujian still felt tired.
But as he drank the spirit tea.
The tiredness dissipated a little.
But Qin Shujian also understood one thing.
That was, spiritual weapons couldn't be forged casually.
This time, if he wasn't strong enough to directly disperse the thundercloud, the forging would be a failure.
Of course —
The most important thing was the mental exhaustion.
Each of the 365 runes on the nameless sword took a lot of energy to inscribe.
Qin Shujian secretly estimated his own state.
In the next two months.
There was basically no possibility of forging a spiritual weapon.
Once he forced it.
Not to mention whether it would succeed or not, once the mental exhaustion was excessive, it was likely to cause permanent damage.
Half a day passed.
Shen Yuqing reluctantly returned the nameless sword and then said, "Sect master, I'd like to ask about forging, I wonder if it's convenient?"
"Answer my question first."
"Uh, sect master, please go ahead!"
"Let me ask you, how much is a spiritual weapon like the nameless sword worth?"
Qin Shujian opened his mouth and asked.
The price of a low-grade spiritual weapon wasn't fixed, it depended on the quality, and the fluctuation each time was not small.
Shen Yuqing was a disciple of the Alchemy Sect.
The Alchemy Sect was famous for alchemy and forging, so she should know more about the market of spiritual weapons.
Hearing this.
Shen Yuqing was also stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, the nameless sword's quality should be of medium level among low-grade spiritual weapons.
However, the Sect Master's understanding of the art of forging made it so that although the quality was medium, its power was enough to be ranked as high.
If it was in the outside world.
A spiritual weapon like this should be worth about four to six million. "
Four to six million taels!
Hearing the other party's words.
Qin Shujian's face also showed a smile.
Now the Origin Sect's treasury was less than two million, and it had to maintain the sect's daily expenses.
Now, a spiritual weapon.
It was equivalent to three times the silver in the Origin Sect's treasury.
Of course.
This didn't include other assets.
If one were to include cultivation methods, martial arts, and even other things, Yuan Zong was still relatively wealthy.
At least —
They were much wealthier than the other True Dominion Sects.
In any case, they had swallowed the resources of eight sects.
No matter how poor he was, he couldn't possibly be that poor.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian seriously explained some problems in forging to Shen Yuqing.
This was especially true for the gap between an Intermediate Blacksmith and an Upper Blacksmith.
Although he hadn't been in contact with the art of forging for a long time, he was still very familiar with it.
However, after becoming a High-Grade Blacksmith.
He was already not inferior to those who had accumulated decades of experience in the Dao of Forging.
Very quickly …
Another few hours passed.
Qin Shujian finally shut his mouth. Shen Yuqing, who was standing by the side, was also satisfied.
The explanation this time.
This allowed Shen Yuqing to have a clearer understanding of her future path as an Intermediate Blacksmith. This was the benefit of having the experience of a senior.
Otherwise, he would have to rely on himself to figure things out.
At the very least, it would take several times longer.
As for Qin Shujian, he had no intention of being stingy.
After all, in the end, Shen Yuqing …
She was still the face of Yuan Zong's Forging Hall and a talent that he planned to nurture in the future.
Although his Forging Art had already surpassed her by a lot.
However, as the leader of a sect, he had no choice but to accept it.
No matter how he looked at it …
It was impossible for him to personally preside over the Forging Hall.
The real support of the Forging Hall still depended on Shen Yuqing and some talents that he would nurture in the future.
As for Qin Shujian himself …
The Forging Art was only one of his personal techniques.
Perhaps when he was interested, he would use the Forging Art. However, most of the time, he wouldn't do it personally.
At that moment …
Qin Shujian's expression suddenly froze.
"Attention: Blue Cloud Sect Master Qing Xu has stepped into Yuan Zong's territory!"
When he saw the system's message …
He quickly came to his senses.
"Qing Xu, why did you suddenly come to Yuan Zong instead of staying in the Blue Cloud Sect?" Qin Shujian was puzzled at first. However, he still got up and left the courtyard with Shen Yuqing.
No matter what …
The arrival of a sect master couldn't be too rude.
At the foot of Liang Mountain …
Qing Xu stood there and didn't move forward. Looking at the already large scale village, he could feel Yuan Zong's vigor.
This was different from the tranquility of the Blue Cloud Sect.
They were two completely different concepts.
He was both amazed by Yuan Zong's strength and silently waiting for Yuan Zong's people to come.
After stepping into Yuan Zong's territory.
Qing Xu knew that Qin Shujian had received a warning from the Heavenly Dao.
What he had to do now was to wait for Yuan Zong's people to come.
An unfamiliar old Taoist stood at the entrance of the village.
Many passersby were puzzled. There were even some players who wanted to go up and say hello to see if they could trigger some mission.
After all …
Qing Xu, who had white hair and a youthful complexion, was like an immortal figure.
He stood there motionless.
He gave people an unfathomable feeling.
Not long after.
A person came down from Mount Liang and saw Qing Xu standing at the entrance of the village. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yuan Zong's Xu Yuanming, may I ask if you are the Blue Cloud Sect Master Qing Xu?"
"Qing Xu greets Elder Xu!"
Qing Xu cupped his hands and said.
Following Yuan Zong's rise to fame, the elders within the sect were also known by the other sects.
Xu Yuanming smiled and said, "When the Sect Master heard that you were coming, he asked me to come and welcome you. Please follow me up the mountain!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
Then, Xu Yuanming took the lead and led Qing Xu up the mountain.
As for the players on the other side …
After hearing the conversation between the two, they realized that this seemingly unfathomable old Taoist was the Sect Master of the Blue Cloud Sect.
"Why is the Sect Master of the Blue Cloud Sect here? Is he ready to surrender after seeing how powerful Yuan Zong is?"
"Hey, that's not impossible."
"I thought it was some powerful figure. It's just the Sect Master of the Blue Cloud Sect. Tsk tsk."
The players discussed animatedly, but they soon forgot about Qing Xu.
He was the Sect Master of the neighboring True Dominion.
There was nothing worth discussing.
On the other side …
Xu Yuanming brought Qing Xu to meet Qin Shujian.
In the courtyard …
Qin Shujian and Qing Xu sat opposite each other.
He did not know when it had started.
He was not used to meeting guests in the Legacy Martial Hall. Instead, he liked to sit in his small courtyard and brew a cup of spirit tea. It was more comfortable than anything else.
After pouring a cup of spirit tea for Qing Xu, Qin Shujian said gently, "What brings you here today, Sect Master Qing Xu?"
"I won't beat around the bush. I only have one thing to ask Sect Master Qin!"
"Feel free to speak."
Upon seeing how solemn Qing Xu was, Qin Shujian also became serious.
Upon hearing this …
Qing Xu looked at Qin Shujian's expression and asked word by word, "May I ask if Sect Master Qin has condensed the Universal Sky Lock?"
"Sect Master Qing Xu knows about the Universal Sky Lock too?"
This rhetorical question was actually a direct answer.
Qing Xu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I would like to ask again. Does Sect Master Qin want to break the shackles of the True Dominion and upgrade the Liang Mountain True Dominion to the Spirit Dominion?"
"Who wouldn't want to be the Protectorate Lord of the Spirit Dominion if they had the chance?"
Qin Shujian smiled faintly.
On the other hand, Qing Xu's expression changed again.
That's right.
The Spirit Dominion did not want to be the Spirit Dominion.
If Qing Xu had the chance to break the shackles of the True Dominion, he might not be able to resist the temptation.
After all …
The Spirit Dominion's Spirit Dominion was not comparable to the True Dominion's Spirit Dominion.
If one could become the Spirit Dominion's Spirit Dominion …
One had to be an expert who could dominate a region.
Upon seeing the change in Qing Xu's expression, Qin Shujian said, "Sect Master Qing Xu must have come here for more than these two questions. If there is anything else, you can say it all at once."
Qing Xu did not reply immediately.
After a moment of silence …
He suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "I am willing to share 30% of the profits of the Blue Cloud Sect's businesses with your sect. I only hope that Sect Master Qin can take care of the Blue Cloud Sect when you become the Spirit Dominion's Spirit Dominion in the future!"
"Sect Master Qing Xu, some jokes should not be made."
"I'm not joking!"
Upon seeing Qing Xu's expression …
Qin Shujian finally knew why the other party had come to visit him.
Just like the True Dominion could assimilate the Ordinary Dominion around it.
The Spirit Dominion could also assimilate the True Dominion.
Although the Blue Cloud Sect and other sects of the True Dominion seemed powerful, they were still very weak in comparison to the Spirit Dominion.
Or else …
These sects would not be content to stay in a corner of the True Dominion. They would have left the True Dominion and entered the Spirit Dominion or even the land above the Spirit Dominion.
The sects that were still in the True Dominion.
To put it bluntly …
They were still not strong enough to establish themselves in the land above the True Dominion.
Qin Shujian took a sip of the spirit tea and said with a faint smile, "Please take a seat, Sect Master Qing Xu. I would like to know how many businesses the Blue Cloud Sect owns and how much they are worth."
"The Blue Cloud Sect has been established for thousands of years. There are 57 True Dominion properties in the North Cloud Mansion. Our sect is involved in all kinds of legitimate businesses and provides about 2.7 million taels of silver annually."
"2.7 million taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shujian's expression did not change much.
2.7 million taels of silver seemed like a lot.
However, after deducting all the expenses of the thousands of disciples in the Blue Cloud Sect, the actual amount left was not that impressive.
Ever since he had become the head of the sect …
He was becoming more and more sensitive to the number of taels of silver.
Although the other party had offered 30% of the profits, it was actually 810,000 taels of silver.
If this had been in the past …
Qin Shujian had no reason to reject such a huge sum of silver.
However, times had changed.
"Two million taels of silver annually!" Qin Shujian said seriously as he stretched out two fingers.
Qing Xu's face twitched as he said with difficulty, "Sect Master Qin, you are also the master of a sect. You should know that the operation of a sect requires a lot of resources.
The Blue Cloud Sect's annual profit is only 2.7 million taels of silver. If you take away most of it, how can I explain this to the sect disciples? "
"Two million taels of silver. I will ensure that the Blue Cloud Sect will not be destroyed in 20 years!" Qin Shujian said firmly. "Our sects will discuss this again after 20 years!"
