Even if someone didn't know anything about swords, they would be able to tell that this sword was extraordinary. Not to mention the owner of a blacksmith's shop who deals with swords all year round.
"Ye Feng, has your brain been clamped by a door? Such a good sword, you actually want to melt it?"
Chang Wucheng lowered his voice and said slowly, "Furthermore, if I'm not wrong, this should be … a weapon that has already reached the Spirit Level?"
"Boss, you have good eyes. Not bad. This is indeed a spirit tier weapon."
Chang Wucheng laughed as if he had understood something. "I get it now. You must have gotten this sword through some underhanded means, but you couldn't find a way to get it from the black market. That's why you came to me to melt it down, right?"
Ye Zifeng smiled, "100 gold coins. Not only is it for the sword, but it's also for you to shut up. If you want more, then I'll have to find someone else ….." How could Ye Zifeng not know what Chang Wucheng was thinking. After talking for so long, Chang Wucheng just wanted more gold coins.
Ye Zifeng said and was about to put the hundred gold coins into his pouch.
Chang Wucheng saw this and could not tolerate him any longer. He quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, chuckling.
"Little brother, hold on. One hundred gold coins it is. I, Old Chang, will accept this deal."
Ye Zifeng didn't put the pouch back and just hung it in the air.
"How long will it take to melt this sword? Give me a number ….."
"If I want to melt a spirit tier sword, it'll take me at least two days." Chang Wucheng looked at Ye Zifeng and chuckled. There was a deep meaning in his eyes.
"One hundred and fifty gold coins. The extra fifty gold coins is your processing fee. Let me ask you again. How long will it take?" Ye Zifeng took out another stack of gold coins.
Chang Wucheng was startled. He was just trying to provoke Ye Zifeng out of habit. He didn't expect this trash Ye Zifeng to take out a lot of gold coins so he wanted to stall for time. However, he didn't think that Ye Zifeng would take out half the amount of gold coins.
"One day. I'll stay up all night to melt the sword for you. You can come tomorrow to get it. How about that?"
Even though Chang Wucheng said this, he still couldn't understand why Ye Zifeng would want to melt this peerless treasure sword into spirit water. Why was he in such a hurry? Could it be that Ye Zifeng really obtained it through some underhanded means?
When Ye Zifeng heard Chang Wucheng say 'one day', he shook his head and turned around to leave.
How could Chang Wucheng let this' rich man 'run away? He quickly pulled Ye Zifeng back, "Wait. Two hundred gold coins. You sit here and wait. I'll do everything I can for you. I'll gather all the resources in the shop for at most two hours. I won't eat or drink. I'll just melt the sword for you. How about that? "
It must be known that the most profitable part of a blacksmith's shop was not the selling of weapons, but the smelting of swords and knives. This was because the smelting of swords and knives was very costly. Lei Zhou City didn't have many buyers, so the profit wasn't much. Smelting on the other hand didn't require much labor. So if Ye Zifeng really gave him two hundred gold coins, then Chang Wucheng would make at least one hundred and ninety gold coins.
"Why didn't you say two hours earlier? It's only two hundred gold coins. I have it. " Ye Zifeng smiled and handed the Ancient Violet Cloud Sword over to Chang Wucheng. His right hand took out a pouch of one hundred gold coins and placed it on the table. He didn't feel any reluctance to part with the sword.
If Ye Huichi were to find out that Ye Zifeng didn't even have the time to warm up his hands, he would definitely go crazy if he knew that Ye Zifeng sold the sword in less than a day.
"Good. Two hundred gold coins just like that. Young master Ye sure is generous." Chang Wucheng praised Ye Zifeng but in his heart, he was cursing at Ye Zifeng.
"But young master Ye, I don't want to scold you. Do you really not regret melting this spirit tier sword?" Money is everything. Even Chang Wucheng who was used to calling Ye Zifeng "young master Ye" couldn't help but call him young master Ye.
Let alone Ye Zifeng, even Chang Wucheng who was used to doing things like this couldn't bear to do it anymore. Melting such a good sword into a furnace of Meteoric Iron Spirit Water was simply a waste of resources.
"Of course I don't regret it. When I melt this sword, I'll have a lot of use for it."
"Have a lot of use for it? Are you kidding me? Whatever. I really don't know what's wrong with your brain. I don't care anymore. I'll do as you say and completely melt it. When the time comes, I'll give you the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water. When the time comes, don't go back on your word. "
"That's good then." Ye Zifeng smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Ye Zifeng didn't want to turn around, Chang Wucheng bitterly smiled and shook his head. He pulled on the bellows and the flames in the furnace started to rise. Now that he had Ye Zifeng's permission, he didn't care about anything else and threw the Ancient Violet Cloud Sword into the furnace.
However, because this was a spirit tier sword, if he wanted to completely melt it, he would need some special quenching materials. He stood up and started to rummage through the cabinets and cabinets in the room. His expression was a lot more serious than before.
This was a two hundred gold coin job. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. To him, this was a reward and a form of motivation. However, it was also a form of restriction. With enough gold coins in front of him, he would be able to concentrate even more. This way, the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water would be even more valuable.
… …
Smelt the sword and then extract the Ancient Meteoric Iron Spirit Water.
This was what Ye Zifeng decided to do when he was choosing the reward for the first place of the gathering. This was also the reason why he gave up on the Dragon Spirit Jade Pendant and the Ocean Containing Bottle.
"Young master Ye, I finally finished smelting it before the hour was up. Come over and take a look. If you like it, you can take it away."
Chang Wucheng was breathing heavily. His bare arms were covered in sweat. It was obvious that he had been working hard for the past two hours.
"Eh? Did you finish smelting it? " Ye Zifeng was woken up from his drowsy state. He had been preparing for the gathering for the past few days. Whether it was his body or his mind, he was exhausted. Although he made the Spirit Binding Pill and caused the two Martial Warriors to suffer a great loss, in the week before the Heavenly Clan Gathering, he had been concocting pills with no regard for his life. It could be said that he was cramming at the last minute.
Hence, he took advantage of the two hours he had in Chang Wu City to smelt the sword to make up for the lack of sleep he had over the past few days.
"Young master Ye, the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water that you wanted is here."
Ye Zifeng shrugged his shoulders and stood up. He received a jade box from Chang Wucheng. A dense purple aura slowly rose up from the box. It carried with it an ancient aura. Inside the box was the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water that was refined from the Ancient Violet Cloud Sword.
"En. That's enough." Ye Feng nodded.
"Since it's like that, then ….." Chang Wucheng looked at the other one hundred gold coins that Ye Zifeng placed on the table.
"Anyways, hand over the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water and I'll be done with it."
Chang Wucheng was startled but still replied, "What do you mean? You're slandering me for stealing your Meteoric Iron Spirit Water? "
"Hurry up. I don't have time to waste with you. Don't think that you can do something sneaky while I'm asleep. I know better than you how much Meteoric Iron Spirit Water this sword can refine. "
In fact, there was no need to keep an eye on Chang Wucheng to see if he was up to no good. He only needed to compare it with the Meteoric Spiritual Water that Gu Jian should have condensed to know if Chang Wucheng's hands were clean or not. This was Ye Zifeng's experience as a Martial Lord in his past life. As an alchemist, he placed a lot of importance on the amount of ingredients used.
If Chang Wucheng wants to trick Ye Zifeng with the amount of ingredients, then he'll have to wait for another hundred years.
Seeing that Chang Wucheng didn't move, Ye Zifeng directly said, "Do you really need me to say it out loud? The amount of Meteoric Iron Spirit Water you took should be around eighty drops. That's about half the size of the jade box. It's fine if you took a little, but you took so much and you still want to hide it from me?"
Chang Wucheng's mouth twitched and patted his head, "Oh. Oh. Look at my memory. I couldn't fit all of the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water in the box so I took out a smaller box. If you didn't tell me, I would've forgotten about it." He thought that a young man like Ye Zifeng would be the easiest to fool. Who would've thought that Ye Zifeng would be able to see through him even when he was sleeping.
Ye Zifeng coldly smiled and didn't say anything.
"Alright. I don't have time to listen to your explanation. Give it all to me." Ye Zifeng looked straight at Chang Wucheng.
Chang Wucheng had never seen this young master of the Ye clan look at him so fiercely. He was startled and took out even smaller jade boxes and handed them over to Ye Zifeng.
"That's more like it." Ye Zifeng looked away and smiled. As he received these jade boxes, he swaggered off and gradually walked away.
… …
When Ye Zifeng appeared in the wilderness with the Meteoric Iron Spirit Water, it was already nighttime.
However, to him, this was the best time to hide.
Under the moonlight, Ye Zifeng walked into the depths of the forest. He pushed aside the old branches and the cauldron that he bought before appeared in front of him.
