After cultivating in seclusion for so long.
It was finally time for Xiao Hong to break through.
In order to help him break through successfully, the Marquis Mansion spent a lot of effort.
At this moment, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.
Marquis Beiyun stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the scene above. Then, his Divine Will Incarnation appeared in the sky and said, "Today, someone in the Marquis Mansion is breaking through. I don't want anyone to disturb or investigate."
After saying this simple sentence.
The Divine Will Incarnation dissipated.
In Zong Yang City.
Some cultivators who had some thoughts because of the strange phenomena extinguished all their thoughts when they saw the Divine Will Incarnation.
Marquis Beiyun!
The only Almighty expert in the Beiyun Mansion.
If Qin Shujian was the most powerful expert in the cultivation world, then Marquis Beiyun was the most powerful expert in the Beiyun Mansion.
Now, Qin Shujian was so powerful that no one dared to provoke him.
And no one dared to provoke Marquis Beiyun.
For so many years.
Marquis Beiyun's methods were gentle.
But in fact.
If they really angered him, they would not have a good ending.
Even.
If they angered Qin Shujian, at least they would know how they died.
If they angered Marquis Beiyun, they might not even know how they died.
Seeing the strange phenomena in the sky.
Many people sighed secretly. "In the past, there was not a single Heavenly Being in the Beiyun Mansion for thousands of years. Now, in just a few years, four people have broken through."
Frequent breakthroughs.
It meant that the strength of the Beiyun Mansion was gradually increasing.
But at the same time.
The frequent breakthroughs gave these people a bad premonition.
But they couldn't tell what kind of premonition it was.
Liangshan City.
Three days had not passed, and the city gate was not opened.
Many people from the sects and forces were now gathered in the Yuan Sect to discuss relevant matters.
But those blacksmiths who heard the news gathered near Liangshan City to observe the city that could be called the number one city in the world.
"The technique is so natural. There are no traces of smelting at all. It's really wonderful!"
"The Daoist Rhymes are circulating. This city is clearly the manifestation of the Great Dao of Forging. If I can settle down here, I might be able to break through my original realm."
"It's really wonderful!"
All the blacksmiths who were observing the city were full of praises.
At that moment, the city had just been completed and the Dao Runes within it had yet to be completely concealed.
When some of the blacksmiths touched the wall with their hands, they gained a certain level of understanding. There were even some who stuck their entire bodies to the wall as they wanted to become one with it.
In the face of such an ugly situation.
No one blamed him for anything. Even disgust and displeasure did not appear.
Because they all knew.
What exactly did this city represent? It was the pinnacle of the Human Race's forging path, an insurmountable peak.
An old blacksmith looked at the city and sighed. "The number one blacksmith in the world is worthy of his name. Grandmaster Qin is the number one blacksmith in the human race for the past ten thousand years!"
"It's not just ten thousand years. In the past tens of thousands of years, there might not even be a Grandmaster Blacksmith who can compare to Grandmaster Qin!"
"That's right, the title of number one in the world is well deserved!"
"If I could sit down and listen to Grandmaster Qin's lecture, I would definitely have a chance to become a Grandmaster in the future. It's a pity that Grandmaster Qin is unwilling to accept disciples. It's really a pity."
The other cultivators also voiced their opinions.
It was hard to say the words' number one in the world '.
However, as long as it was acknowledged by everyone, it would have great credibility.
Ever since Qin Shujian built Liangshan City.
In the world.
There were no longer any Grandmaster Blacksmiths who dared to compete with him.
There was already one in the first place.
The others did not have the intention to compete for the second place.
Because everyone would only remember the second place and not who the second place was. In fact, this was the case.
A cultivator looked at the two words "Liangshan" on the city gate and suddenly felt something. He could not help but fly closer and reach out to touch it.
In the end.
Before his palm touched the two words "Liangshan", he encountered a terrifying backlash.
"Ah!"
That cultivator let out a miserable scream and fell from the sky. Then, he fell to the ground. For a moment, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The old blacksmith shook his head and said mockingly, "A Dao Artifact has a spirit. How can anyone touch it? You don't know the rules and crossed it without permission. You deserve such an outcome."
The others.
They all looked at the scene in front of them indifferently. No one did anything.
The two words "Liangshan".
It was formed by the Dao Seal of Liangshan City. That was the core of the city.
Whoever dared to touch it would definitely encounter a powerful backlash.
That person who touched the core of the city must have bad intentions. No one would sympathize with such an outcome.
At this moment.
Thunder exploded in the sky.
Although there was no lightning, dark clouds were densely covering the sky.
Everyone was awakened by this fluctuation. Then, they looked in a certain direction.
There, they saw Shen Yuqing holding a sledgehammer and sweating profusely as he forged.
"This aura … a Spirit Artifact!?"
"It's not an ordinary Spirit Artifact. It's a superior-grade Spirit Artifact."
The surrounding cultivators all focused their attention on Shen Yuqing.
Those who could forge superior-grade Spirit Artifacts were all Grandmasters.
Soon.
Someone recognized Shen Yuqing's identity.
"That's Shen Yuqing, the head of the Yuan Sect's Blacksmith Hall. Rumor has it that he's a remnant disciple of the destroyed Pill Cauldron Clan. Looking at him, he should be breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm!"
He wanted to say that he was a remnant disciple of the Pill Cauldron Clan.
But considering Shen Yuqing's identity, he immediately changed his words.
A blacksmith sighed and said, "He can become a Grandmaster at such a young age. His Sun Sect might have another Grandmaster!"
Hearing that.
The others also fell silent.
Shen Yuqing was at most thirty years old.
A thirty-year-old Grandmaster Blacksmith.
He could be ranked among the top in the entire Great Zhao. To put it arrogantly, he could even be ranked first.
Such a young Grandmaster had a high chance of breaking through to become a Grandmaster Blacksmith in the future.
In addition, with the guidance of a Grandmaster like Qin Shujian, the chances of him breaking through were even higher.
"I heard that Shen Yuqing was only an intermediate-grade blacksmith before he joined the Sun Sect. It's only been a few years and he's about to break through to become a Grandmaster Blacksmith. Apart from his talent, I'm afraid he can't do without Grandmaster Qin's guidance in the future!"
"Sigh, if I can get Grandmaster Qin's guidance, it might not be impossible for me to break through to become a Grandmaster in three to five years."
The person who spoke was an old cultivator.
Hearing that, someone laughed and said, "You'll be buried in ten years. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until the time to break through!"
As soon as he said that, many people immediately laughed.
The old cultivator was not angry. He shook his head and said, "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening."
In response.
No one refuted him.
The lightning in the sky was condensing. After a while, it still didn't strike.
At this moment, Shen Yuqing's whole body and mind were focused on the long sword in front of him. He was forging it in an orderly manner.
He forged while forging.
He recalled the extent of Qin Shujian's hammering when he was forging Liangshan City.
Gradually.
Shen Yuqing's speed slowed down. Every time the hammer fell, there seemed to be some kind of indescribable and indescribable feeling.
The blacksmiths who were just watching at first.
At this moment, they also quieted down and watched Shen Yuqing forge the sword without blinking.
The people who were able to come here were all cultivators who had touched the Dao of Forging. Although not everyone was a Grandmaster, many of them had reached the middle-grade or superior-grade.
In their eyes, Shen Yuqing's forging was as smooth as flowing water, as if it was a natural process.
The crisp and pleasant sound of the hammer could penetrate deep into one's soul.
This was the process of a superior-grade blacksmith transforming into a Grandmaster Blacksmith.
But obviously.
The hammering technique that Shen Yuqing was forging now was not purely his own, but an imitation. He was imitating Qin Shujian's methods and then absorbing them step by step.
No one knew when.
Su Zhan had already appeared in the crowd.
Looking at Shen Yuqing's concentrated look, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.
"He's a good seedling. If he wasn't a member of Yuan Zong, I might have taken him in as a disciple to inherit my mantle."
In Su Zhan's opinion, although Shen Yuqing was imitating.
But how could Qin Shujian's forging methods be so simple? To be able to imitate it was already extraordinary.
Moreover, the other party was so young and could break through to the Grandmaster level. As long as he sculpted well in the future, it would not be difficult for him to become a Grandmaster.
To personally cultivate a Grandmaster Blacksmith.
This was a great achievement for anyone.
Every Grandmaster Blacksmith did not have the confidence to let their descendants break through to the same level as them.
Because it was not easy to become a Grandmaster.
It was not that one could definitely break through if there was a way.
There were many things that required comprehension.
Only with enough comprehension could there be hope to break through to a higher level.
Now in Su Zhan's eyes, Shen Yuqing had this talent.
However.
He had no intention of snatching him away from Yuan Zong, and even if he did, Shen Yuqing would not go with him.
With the guidance of the best Grandmaster Blacksmith in the world, who would want another Grandmaster Blacksmith?
How to choose.
As long as one was a normal person, they would know.
Liang Mountain, Yuan Zong.
Qin Shujian was discussing the future plans of the sect with the other elders in the sect.
After all, Yuan Zong was now very large.
More than 200,000 disciples.
A lot of work was needed.
Although Qin Shujian wanted to be a hands-off boss, it was impossible for him to really ignore everything.
At the very least, he had to talk about some general things to let the other elders understand.
When the thunderclouds appeared in Liang Mountain City.
Niu Feng looked surprised and said strangely, "What's going on? Why did the thunder tribulation appear?"
"It seems that our sect will have another Grandmaster Blacksmith!"
Qin Shujian smiled slightly, obviously in a good mood.
Hearing this.
Zheng Fang looked at Qin Shujian and said, "Sect master, do you mean that Elder Yuqing is breaking through?"
Shen Yuhua on the side.
She also looked at Qin Shujian, wanting to know the answer.
Qin Shujian said with a smile, "That's right. Elder Yuqing has already learned something after watching me forge it. The thunder tribulation appeared this time because Elder Yuqing forged a high-grade spiritual weapon."
Then, he also stood up and said, "This matter will end here. Elders, you should also supervise the various branches to improve the strength of the disciples as soon as possible. The war should not be far away.
I have already agreed to the request of the Imperial Astronomer and will leave the sect for a few months in a few days.
If there is something that can't be solved, let Jiang Feng kill it. If even Jiang Feng can't solve it, First Elder can enter the secret realm and ask Mu Yang to help. "
Who was Mu Yang?
Now in the main sect, the core elders knew very well.
He was the Eldar expert who had broken through to the Celestial Being Realm some time ago.
Zheng Fang nodded and said, "I understand."
Now, Yuan Zong had a total of three Celestial Beings, including Qin Shujian.
Even if Qin Shujian left.
There would still be two Celestial Beings in the sect.
This kind of strength was already much stronger than ordinary top sects.
Before the three major continents were connected, there would not be any big changes in the Great Zhao, so Qin Shujian was not too worried.
If there were two Celestial Beings in charge.
If it could still cause chaos in the sect.
Then the entire Beiyun Manor and even the entire Great Zhao would definitely be in chaos.
A spiritual sword soared into the sky.
The thunder tribulation fell from the sky.
The spiritual sword endured the thunder tribulation. No matter how the thunder tribulation struck, the sword only trembled and showed no signs of breaking.
The thunder tribulation lasted for half a day.
Finally, the thunder tribulation dissipated.
The long sword entered the sky and let out a crisp sound.
Finally, Shen Yuqing stretched out his hand and the long sword flew directly to him as if it had sensed something.
Holding the sword hilt, a feeling of telepathy surged in his heart.
Instantly.
A gratified smile appeared on Shen Yuqing's face.
A master blacksmith!
When he was able to forge a high-grade spirit weapon, he would be officially promoted from a high-grade blacksmith to a master blacksmith.
"Congratulations on becoming a master!"
"Congratulations!"
The others all cupped their hands and congratulated him.
No matter what the other party's background was, to be able to become a master meant that he had reached the point of perfection in this Dao. His status was not weaker than a great cultivator of the God Martial Realm.
In fact.
A master blacksmith's status was even higher than a great cultivator of the God Martial Realm.
Therefore, the others would not be stingy with their congratulatory words.
If they could get familiar with him, it would be good for the future.
Moreover, Shen Yuqing was not an ordinary master blacksmith.
He was the master of the Yuan Sect's blacksmith hall and had a noble status. Moreover, there was a high chance that he would break through to the Master Stage in the future. It would definitely be beneficial to have a good relationship with such an expert in advance.
Shen Yuqing was also in a good mood. He put away the long sword, then cupped his hands and smiled. "Everyone, congratulations!"
At this moment.
Qin Shujian flew over and landed in front of Shen Yuqing.
Seeing his appearance.
Shen Yuqing immediately bowed. "Greetings, Sect Master!"
As for the others, their expressions changed drastically and they did not dare to be rude.
"Greetings, Sect Master Qin!"
"Greetings, Master Qin!"
Qin Shujian looked at the others and said with a faint smile, "Everyone, please dispense with the formalities!"
Then, his gaze fell on Shen Yuqing again and said, "Elder Yuqing has become a master today, which is also a great joy for the sect. I'll give this to you!"
A small jade box appeared and was then handed to Shen Yuqing.
Shen Yuqing took it with a puzzled expression, but his expression soon changed and he thanked him with a look of surprise. "Thank you, Sect Master!"
"It's nothing." Qin Shujian shook his head slightly, then looked at Su Zhan and Fang Yilan in the crowd and said, "Since the two elders are here, let's go together!"
Elders?
What elders?
Just when the others were puzzled, Qin Shujian had disappeared in front of them.
Fang Yilan and Su Zhan in the crowd disappeared with him.
On the other side.
Shen Yuqing cupped his hands to the crowd and then left.
This time, his harvest was not small.
After breaking through to the master realm, he obtained a high-grade long sword, which was refined by himself. It was innately connected with his mind and could exert a stronger power when used.
Besides that.
That was what Qin Shujian gave him.
The ninth-level elixir — Pure Yang Elixir!
As a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, how could Shen Yuqing not know the importance of the Pure Yang Elixir?
But what he did not expect was that.
Qin Shujian would have the Pure Yang Elixir and give it to him.
In Shen Yuqing's view.
He only needed to spend a few years to polish his realm and finally rely on the Pure Yang Elixir to have a chance to break through to the god martial realm.
The god martial realm.
In the past, the strongest person in the Alchemy Sect had not reached this realm.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian, Su Zhan and the others had left the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain and were rushing to the Endless Mountains.
Now the imperial court had built a portal in the Endless Mountains.
However.
The three of them did not intend to take the portal.
When one's cultivation reached their level …
Unless the journey was really long.
Or else …
Using the portal might not be much faster than traveling on their own.
None of them spoke and continued on their way in silence.
They ran into some monsters along the way.
However, with the strength of those Demonic Beasts, it was impossible for them to detect the three of them.
That was all.
In less than half a day.
A majestic city was already in sight.
When the three of them arrived, Feng Jiao, who had been supervising the construction of the city, went up to them. "Greetings, Grand Secretary Fang and Grand Secretary Su!"
After that.
He gave Qin Shujian a puzzled look.
Someone who could stand with Su Zhan and Fang Yilan couldn't be a nobody.
Unfortunately, Feng Jiao was sure that he had never met Qin Shujian before.
Seeing the puzzled look in Feng Jiao's eyes.
Qin Shujian cupped his hands and smiled. "I'm Qin Shujian. Nice to meet you, Master Feng."
"So, it's Sect Leader Qin. Forgive my rudeness!"
Feng Jiao was astonished and hurriedly cupped his hands in return.
He knew very well who Qin Shujian was.
Especially during this period of time, Qin Shujian was in the limelight.
The most powerful cultivator in the cultivation world.
The best forger in the world.
Feng Jiao couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Although he had the support of the imperial court, no one was worthy of his attention unless they were on the same level as him.
Su Zhan said calmly, "Master Feng, Sect Leader Qin is here for the construction of the city. You can go about your business. You don't have to stay here for the time being."
"If that's the case, I'll be on my way. Please let me know if you need anything."
Feng Jiao said respectfully. Then, he nodded politely to Qin Shujian and left.
He could take over the construction of the gateway to the Eastern Continent.
Feng Jiao had a high status in the imperial court, or he wouldn't have been qualified to take over such a task.
However, he was in the presence of the Imperial Astronomer.
Only the lords of the various prefectures had the right to speak to him as an equal.
The elders in the imperial astronomer didn't have official positions, but they had a high status. The only person who could give orders to the imperial astronomer was the Human Emperor.
Even when Xi Yang was on the throne, he couldn't give orders to the imperial astronomer.
Feng Jiao left.
Su Zhan said, "Sect Leader Qin, this is the gateway to the Eastern Continent that His Majesty ordered to be built. There are four cities in total, forming an absolute defense. It will be the means to defend against the three major continents in the future."
Hearing Su Zhan's words.
Qin Shujian looked at the city in front of him.
The city walls were hundreds of meters tall and spanned thousands of kilometers. It was no different from the Cold Mountain City he had built.
In order to build Cold Mountain City.
The Sky Origin Sect had spent more than half of its resources and had taken many ninth-grade materials from various sects in advance to finally succeed in building it.
Now that the imperial court was building four cities in one go, it was needless to say how much it would cost.
Only such a large family and business could afford such a consumption.
Qin Shujian said, "How much resources does the imperial court plan to use?"
"You can use the national treasury's resources as you wish."
Su Zhan immediately replied.
The gateway to the Eastern Continent was extremely important, so it didn't matter how much materials they used.
It didn't matter even if they emptied the national treasury.
This was because the imperial court's next plan was to use war to support war. The army would enter the three major continents and plunder enough resources to strengthen the Great Zhao Empire.
Qin Shujian rose into the air and had a panoramic view of the entire city.
This was not all.
Even the other three cities were in his eyes.
The two of them didn't stop Qin Shujian's actions.
Fang Yi sent a message with Divine Sense and said, "How confident do you think he is?"
"There shouldn't be a problem."
Su Zhan thought for a while and replied.
If it was before Cold Mountain City was built, he wouldn't dare to answer like this.
But after this.
Su Zhan didn't have any doubts about Qin Shujian's ability in the Dao of Forging.
If Qin Shujian were to make a move, he would definitely succeed.
If even he failed.
Then no one in the entire Great Zhao Empire would succeed.
After a long time.
Qin Shujian landed on the ground.
Su Zhan hurriedly asked, "How is it? Does Sect Master Qin find any problems?"
"There aren't any problems. This time, the imperial court has put in a lot of effort. From what I see, the materials used to build the city are all at the fifth or sixth level and mixed in with other top level materials."
"Sect Master Qin's eyes are as sharp as torches."
Su Zhan was now an experienced bootlicker. No matter what Qin Shujian said, he would nod and agree. Then, he would flatter him without leaving a trace.
Fang Yi Lan watched from the side and rolled her eyes.
Before inviting Qin Shujian over, Su Zhan's words were full of disdain.
Now that he had invited him over, his attitude had changed.
To this.
Fang Yi Lan was also full of disdain.
However, although she thought so, she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she silently watched the two of them talk.
When it came to Dao of Forging.
Fang Yi Lan didn't understand at all.
The matters of the experts were naturally left to the experts.
This time, Su Zhan was the main person in charge. Strictly speaking, she was just an assistant.
Qin Shujian pondered for a moment and said, "I have a question that I would like to ask."
"Please speak, Sect Master Qin."
"To what extent does the imperial court intend to build the four cities? You must know that there are also different types of Spirit Weapons. Although top Spirit Weapons can't suppress fate, they aren't any weaker than ordinary Dao Weapons."
Qin Shujian said calmly.
The top Spirit Weapons that he mentioned had already surpassed the category of Upper Spirit Weapons. However, due to the limitations of the Connate Embryo, they couldn't be upgraded to Dao Weapons.
