Chapter 13 : The Owner

Right now Lin Fan was in front of a Blacksmith Shop called Old Blacksmith.

Even though the building of this Blacksmith Shop was old, Lin Fan could see that all parts of the building could still stand firmly.

Even information from the Library of Heaven's Path said that all the parts of this building were created by the owner of this shop.

Even though all the creations of this shop owner were not very high, their sturdiness was quite impressive.

"Well, I didn't really expect to be able to learn much. But the most important thing for me is to have the tools and the place to forge," said Lin Fan confidently.

Feeling excited, Lin Fan knocked on Old Blacksmith's door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNCOK

In a few seconds, the Old Blacksmith's door opened and a burly old man appeared but was quite short, about 160 cm tall.

This grandfather has no hair on his head, which is usually called bald. With a white beard that is long to the chest, and eyes that don't seem to open at all.

According to the Library of Heaven's Path, this Grandpa is already nearly 60 years old.

Seeing this grandpa, Lin Fan immediately greeted him politely, "Hello, Grandpa Tai San".

Tai San. As the Library of Heaven's Path explained, he was a descendant of the One Strength Clan, one of the clans that had once followed the Clear Sky Clan!

The One Strength Clan was quite famous for their forging, even that was part of their income.

As the name suggests, the One Strength Clan is also famous for their Strength, because they have a Martial Spirit that only has one Attribute, that is the Strength Attribute.

Most of the descendants of the One Strength Clan have an ape-type Martial Spirit, which is known as the Vigorous Orangutan.

Even though the Vigorous Orangutan Martial Spirit only has one Attribute, its potential is enormous because a Strength can create a burst of Speed ​​and possibly strengthen defenses as well!

However, Tai San had bad luck, because he didn't awaken a Martial Spirit in the form of a Vigorous Orangutan, but a weak mutation called Orangutan.

This Orangutan Martial Spirit is very weak, even Grandpa Tai San only has half of Innate Spirit Essence. And until now, he had only been able to reach Rank 9 without being able to become a real Spirit Master.

But still, as a descendant of the One Strength Clan, he had a lot of knowledge about forging!

Seeing Lin Fan, Tai San was very happy and said while looking around Lin Fan, "Oh, Xiao Fan? Where is Xiao Bing? Isn't she coming?"

"Xiao Bing is not coming, Grandpa Tai San," said Lin Fan.

Then, Lin Fan continued, "Grandpa, I came here to make a wish".

Lin Fan also looked at Tai San while acting cute, because cuteness could let down one's defenses, let alone an old man.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan then remembered that he should have brought Xiao Bing with him too!

`Aisshh... I forgot that if coupled with Xiao Bing's cuteness, then I can be more successful at letting down Grandpa Tai San` thought Lin Fan.

"Ohhh? What wish do you want? Let this old man grant it as best he can," Tai San said while stroking his beard.

"Grandpa Tai San... may I learn Forging from you?" said Lin Fan shyly.

Well, actually Lin Fan wasn't embarrassed of Tai San, but he was just pretending to be shy to look cuter. At least, that's what Lin Fan thought.

Hearing Lin Fan's request, Tai San was quite surprised because a 5 year old wanting to learn Forging sounded weird and funny. But Tai San was also quite happy, because forging was his best hobby, and he always appreciated anyone who wanted to learn to forge!

"Xiao Fan, why do you want to learn to forge?" asked Tai San.

"I want to earn a lot of money for Xiao Bing!" said Lin Fan confidently.

Well, what Lin Fan said was indeed true. Earned a lot of money for Xiao Bing to survive the side effects of the Nine Yin Physique.

But for Tai San, Lin Fan's reason was only to make his sister happy.

"Hahaha.. Good, Lin Fan. You are very good! As a Big Brother, you must make your sister happy!" said a delighted Tai San.

"But still, not everyone can learn Forging. You should know, I can't make you learn forging just for that reason," Tai San said.

`As I thought, this won't work` thought Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan had an ace that convinced him he could forge in this Blacksmith shop.

"Grandpa Tai San, may I take a look inside? I'm very curious about forging," Lin Fan pleaded.

"Just looking? It's okay, let's go inside, hahaha" Tai San said happily.

Well, Lin Fan knew why Tai San was so happy, because knowing he could turn a child into forging was a joy.

It's like being able to influence someone to follow our hobby, isn't that fun?

Lin Fan followed Tai San into the blacksmith shop to the forging furnace. There, he saw many forging tools neatly arranged. All of those tools were interesting, but what Lin Fan was looking for was a Hammer.

`There are so many hammers of various sizes...` thought Lin Fan.

Tai San also saw Lin Fan's behavior, but he just kept quiet and thought that Lin Fan was only interested in all the tool.

And suddenly, Lin Fan ran and approached one of the neatly arranged hammers, which then grabbed the hammer!

"No! Xiao Fan, don't!" shouted Tai San hysterically.

Of course this took Tai San by surprise, he even shouted because the Hammer was so heavy!

Tai San has never been wary of Lin Fan, because as far as he knows, this kid is very smart and knows what he can and can't do!

But he didn't expect that Lin Fan would do such a dangerous thing, even holding a hammer that weighed almost 50 kg!

"Xiao Fan!....Eh?" all of a sudden, Tai San's fear changed drastically into a strange one, he was wide-eyed as he saw Lin Fan wielding a hammer weighing almost 50 Kg lightly!

Lin Fan tried to swing a hammer with a big smile, "Grandpa, this toy is great!".
