ch21

The reason why Mang Tian was so shabby in Donghai City was simply because he owed a huge debt when he broke through the spiritual forging.

　　Until now, Mang Tian is still frantically accepting tasks to pay back the money. Donghai City is one of the most economically developed cities in the East Continent, and the land price is not cheap.

　　Mang Tian naturally tried to save as much as possible and placed the forging room in this remote village in the city.

　　Although this place is a bit off the beaten track, the forging room still looks decent. Lin Xuan took out the key and opened the door of the forging room, revealing a hall of two to three hundred meters.

　　There are three forging tables in the hall, which can accommodate three people forging at the same time. This was just expanded by Mangtian this year.

　　"Bang! Bang!"

　　In front of the innermost forging table, Mang Tian was bare-chested, waving a metal hammer in both hands, continuously hitting the black metal on the table.

　　With every hammer blow from Mang Tian, ​​the volume of the jet-black metal on the forging table became smaller, and wisps of green spiritual patterns continued to emerge from the metal block. This was spiritual forging!

　　Lin Xuan and the others stood by and carefully observed Mang Tian's movements. Because Mang Tian had some hidden injuries from the previous spiritual forging, he would not easily perform spiritual forging.

　　This is also a rare learning opportunity for both of them.

　　As if he had noticed the arrival of the two, Mang Tian slowed down the pace of his hands and showed them the forging details bit by bit.

　　"boom!"

　　A green flame rose from the forging table, a full six feet high. After rushing into the air, the green flame transformed into a green phoenix, circling above the green metal, which was quite magical!

　　Phoenix and blue gold!

　　This is the rare metal that Mang Tian used to advance to the spiritual forging stage. Fengluan Sapphire is also the metal he is best at spiritual forging.

　　"Hoo! Xiaoxuan, you're here!"

　　Mang Tian waved his hand, put away the Fengluan Qingjin on the stage, and then turned back to look at the two of them.

　　"You guys sit down for a while! I'm going to take a shower, come out with me later!"

　　Mang Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the two of them. As he spoke, he walked to the table beside him, raised the teapot and gulped down a full cup.

　　"Then sit down for a while!"

　　After Lin Xuan finished speaking to Tang Wulin, he walked over to the stool next to him and sat down. Looking at the forging table in the distance, Lin Xuan had an idea and called up his system panel to look at the forging column.

　　[Forging: Thousand Forgings Level 2 (782/800)]

　　He was just a little bit away from being promoted to the first level of the Thousand Forgings. Speaking of which, he had been a little slack in forging recently, and the progress had not moved for more than a month.

　　"Ordinary metals will probably need to be processed about eight times, but for rare metals, only two times should be enough."

　　Lin Xuan estimated the number of forging exercises he would need to reach this level of proficiency. He decided to max it out when he came back and upgrade it to the Thousand Forgings Level 1.

　　After closing the system panel, Lin Xuan immediately saw Tang Wulin sitting on a stool meditating beside him, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

　　What a great King of the East China Sea!

　　"Okay! Let's go!"

　　When Mang Tian came out again, he had changed into a formal suit, unlike his previous sloppy appearance.

　　After several people got in the car, Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask Mang Tian in front of him.

　　"Teacher, where are we going?"

　　Seeing Mang Tian like this, he obviously took it very seriously! In the past, Mang Tian was a ruthless person who dared to go out in broad daylight wearing only shorts.

　　"I'll take you to the Blacksmith Association for assessment. Once you get the Blacksmith Badge, you can take on missions on your own. I'll also introduce someone to you."

　　"As for who he is, you'll know once you get there. He's an expert."

　　Mang Tian said to the two of them with a smile.

　　"Um!"

　　Tang Wulin nodded, and at the same time, he felt a little excited. To be praised so highly by Mang Tian, ​​he must be a big shot.

　　Lin Xuan, who was standing next to him, heard this and had some guesses in his mind.

　　This person is most likely Mu Chen, the president of the East China Sea Forgers Association. As for Mang Tian's good friend Cen Yue, who is at the same level as him, Mang Tian would not have this attitude.

　　Several people came to the gate of the Blacksmith Association, and a gray building stood in front of them. The building was about thirty stories high, and a huge hammer emblem was hung in front of the building.

　　In fact, the richest of the four secondary occupation associations is not the Blacksmith Association, but the Mecha Manufacturer Association.

　　When Lin Xuan first learned about it, he was still a little bit unconvinced, until he knew about the consumption of spiritual forging, he suddenly understood. Blacksmiths earn a lot and spend a lot, and Mang Tian next to him is a typical example.

　　Mang Tian led the two of them in. As soon as they entered the door, a girl in a gray professional skirt came forward and said respectfully.

　　"Master Mangtian, the president is waiting for you. He told you to go directly to Forging Room No. 1 to find him."

　　"Okay! Got it."

　　Mang Tian nodded, then turned around and said to Lin Xuan and the others.

　　"Xiaoxuan, Wulin, let's go this way."

　　He took the two of them to the thirty-sixth floor by elevator. Outside the elevator was a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were metal doors, each with a number plate on it, marking the number of the respective forging room.

　　"This is the forging room inside the Blacksmith Association. It is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The higher the level of the forging room, the better the facilities inside."

　　"As long as you are a blacksmith in the association, you can apply for a corresponding blacksmithing room according to your own blacksmith level."

　　Mang Tian led them inside and introduced them.

　　At the end of the corridor was a luxurious forging room. The decoration and size of the door alone were much higher than those of other forging rooms. On the door of the room, the number plate clearly stated Forging Room No. 1.

　　Forging Room No. 1 is actually the exclusive forging room belonging to President Muchen.

　　Mang Tian took out his blacksmith badge and placed it on the scanning port on the door, and the door automatically opened to both sides.

　　"Xixi, not bad! Your current level is good enough to take the test for a second-level blacksmith."

　　A warm and gentle voice came from the room. Mang Tian and the other two went in. The first person Lin Xuan saw was a middle-aged man in a silver-gray robe.

　　The middle-aged man was about forty years old. The most eye-catching thing was the golden badge on his chest, which had eight black stars on it.

　　This means that the man is an eighth-level holy craftsman.

　　The middle-aged man was now carefully teaching a girl who was about ten years old.

　　After hearing the sound of several people coming in, Mu Chen raised his head and walked towards them with a smile.

　　"Lao Mang, you're finally here! I thought you stood me up again today!"

Chapter 27 Blacksmith Assessment

　　"President! Didn't you suddenly receive another mission just now?"

　　Mang Tian laughed, feeling a little embarrassed.

　　In fact, he called Lin Xuan at that time, but found out that they were too busy at school so he turned it down.

　　Mang Tian now feels that he has two talented disciples, and he feels like he is floating even when he walks.

　　Even if the master craftsman Zhenhua came, Mangtian would still dare to shout, "My disciple has the qualities of a master craftsman!"

　　"Wow! Two cute little brothers."

　　Mu Xi ran over from the side, eyes twinkling.

　　Although Lin Xuan's face still looks a little childish, his handsome features have already begun to emerge.

　　Perhaps it was because he had practiced sword skills too much, he was not as pretty as a girl like Tang Wulin, but had the traditional cool and handsome look of a boy.

　　His elegant temperament is mixed with a hint of indifference that keeps people at a distance, which makes people admire him but also subconsciously keep their distance.

　　On the contrary, Tang Wulin's fair and youthful face was very popular among the little girls.

　　Look, Mu Xi's eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin's delicate face, and she wanted to reach out her hand but stopped.

　　This must be chewy and smooth when you pinch it, just like jelly.

　　Mu Xi was ready to make a move. Before she was attacked, she was still very much like a little girl.

　　"Xixi!"

　　Mu Chen called Mu Xi and said unhappily, "You are so unruly. This person's master is still here!"

　　Then his eyes fell on Lin Xuan and the other person behind Mang Tian.

　　"These two must be my nephews! They are really good-looking! I often hear your teacher talking about you."

　　"Xiaoxuan, Wulin! This is Mu Chen, the president of the East Sea Blacksmith Association. Come and meet him. He is an eighth-level Saint Craftsman! He is well-known throughout our continent."

　　Mang Tian introduced them to the two.

　　"President!"

　　The two said in unison.

　　Tang Wulin looked at Muchen with admiration. Muchen was an eighth-level Saint Craftsman, while he himself had just entered the first Thousand Forgings.

　　Lin Xuan was quite calm. As long as nothing unexpected happened, this master craftsman would be a piece of cake for him.

　　"Well! I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let me give you the forger test first!"

　　Mu Chen smiled and nodded, then spoke impatiently.

　　Mang Tian had boasted to him before, saying that he was a master craftsman and a genius of a thousand years. Mang Tian boasted about this for a long time.

　　Mu Chen almost thought that this guy Mang Tian had gone stupid due to the backlash of his soul when his spiritual forging failed.

　　Today he wants to take a good look at whether these two are as magical as they say!

　　Forger Assessment...

　　Mu Xi blinked her cute big eyes. Are these two also blacksmiths?

　　"Then I'll go to the front desk and get a reviewer over!"

　　Mang Tian nodded and made a gesture to go out.

　　"Hey! Lao Mang, wait a minute! I've called a reviewer over. You don't have to go to the review room. Just test it here!"

　　Mu Chen stepped forward to stop Mang Tian. The evaluation room was too small, only a few square meters in total, and could not accommodate many people except for the forging platform.

　　Besides, with so many of them crowded there, it would easily affect the performance of the two.

　　"Since the president is willing, it's naturally better."

　　Mang Tian naturally agreed. Muchen's facilities and equipment are all top-notch, and the forging effect will be better.

　　After a while, a man in his thirties walked in.

　　"President! Master Mangtian!"

　　The male reviewer bowed slightly to the two of them.

　　"These two young friends are going to take the forger assessment."

　　Mu Chen pointed at Lin Xuan and Tang Wulin beside him. The male reviewer nodded without asking any more questions.

　　Muchen first pressed a button on the left wall, and a blue soul guide array lit up, covering the entire left area including the forging table.

　　"Which of you two will go first?"

　　Mu Chen turned around and said to the two of them.

　　During the forging process, each blacksmith has his own rhythm. It is easy to be distracted by others when forging together, and there is only one forging table here.

　　Lin Xuan and Tang Wulin looked at each other, and Tang Wulin stood up.

　　"Let me go first!"

　　Tang Wulin took a deep breath. His forging skills were lower than Brother Xuan's, but he was just trying to get some ideas out of the way.

　　"You can choose the material you want to forge on the electronic screen inside. This is connected to the association's warehouse. Level one only requires a hundred forgings to purify the metal, level two requires an additional forging of intermediate parts, and level three requires a thousand forgings..."

　　Mu Chen spoke slowly.

　　He did not ask Tang Wulin to take the exams one level at a time. Since Mang Tian, ​​a level six blacksmith, praised him so highly, his level must be at least not lower than that of a level two blacksmith.

　　As for the Thousand Forgings, to be honest, he still didn't quite believe it. His senior brother, Master Craftsman Zhenhua, also mastered the Thousand Forgings when he was in his teens.

　　The evaluator at the side stepped forward and placed a portable soul guide camera in front of the magic circle. Every time an assessment is conducted, the association must keep a backup of the images.
