1513 Exalted Blacksmith’s Store

"You... what the hell are you?" Zi Xuan stared at Tian Qiyuan with her eyes as wide as saucers. It’d taken her thousands of years to master the Unrivaled Sword Arts. Yet, it only took a glance for Tian Qiyuan to master the sword technique completely. She has never heard of anything like this before, much less witnessing it with her own eyes.

"Are you secretly a disciple of our Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect?" she asked with a suspicious look on her face.

If he were truly a disciple of her sect, it would explain his knowledge of the Unrivaled Sword Arts. However, even within her sect, fewer than five individuals had learned all nine stages, and she was the only one to master all nine stages. So, how could he flawlessly execute all nine stages?

"No, I am not a disciple of the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect."

"Then are you telling me that you actually learned the technique on the spot after watching me perform it once? Do you really expect me to believe such a thing?"

"I don’t expect you to believe me, but that’s the truth. Anyways, have I cleared your doubt about my ability to comprehend your swordsmanship?"

"Don’t try to change the subject! Only disciples of the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect are allowed to learn the sword technique! If they learn that an outsider has managed to do so, they’ll hunt you down!"

"That’s only if they learn it, right? You’re the only one who knows about it, so unless you tell them, I will be safe. Moreover, I learned the technique from watching you, who willingly showed it to me, so you also bear some responsibility."

"T-that’s!" Zi Xuan was left speechless by his argument.

In fact, even if she knew that he had the capability to learn the technique beforehand, she would still be willing to perform the sword technique for him for the sake of her sword.

She sighed in a defeated manner and said, "You’re right. Since you learned the sword technique from me, I am technically responsible for it. Anyway, I have no intention of revealing this to my sect, so you do your job and don’t go around flaunting it."

Tian Qiyuan smiled and said, "I have no interest in the Unrivaled Sword Arts. I have my own sword technique."

"Anyway, I have a good understanding of your capabilities, and I already have an image of what kind of sword I will be making for you. I just need some time to think about it."

"Will it take long?" she asked.

"No, I’ll be done in a few days."

"Okay."

"Then I’ll begin now."

He sat on the ground and closed his eyes. It looked like he was cultivating, but he was actually forging Zi Xuan’s sword inside his mind, and he was doing it more than once.

To craft the perfect sword for her, Tian Qiyuan needed to experiment with various materials and combinations. A blacksmith of his caliber possesses the ability to forge treasures within their mind as vividly as if they were doing it in reality. This extraordinary skill allows them to save both resources and time.

Time passed in the blink of an eye for Tian Qiyuan. As for Zi Xuan, she sat right in front of him and stared at him the entire time.

A few days later, when Tian Qiyuan opened his eyes, he was startled by Zi Xuan, whose face was so close to his mask that they were almost touching.

"Uhh... I am finished," he said in a somewhat stiff voice.

Realizing that he’d finished, Zi Xuan calmly distanced herself from him and asked, "Why are you hiding your identity?"

"I like peace and freedom. If the world knows my face, I will never be able to walk in public without being stopped by people," he calmly said.

"A fair reason."

"Anyway, I know exactly what kind of sword I’ll make for you."

He proceeded to write down a list of materials needed for the sword and handed it to her.

"How long do you think it’ll take you to collect them?" he asked.

Zi Xuan looked at the list with a pondering face. After a moment of silence, she said, "It shouldn’t take too long. I already have half of these materials. I can probably acquire the other half in a few months."

"Then I’ll return to the place that I came in here from exactly one year from now."

"Okay. What are you going to do in the meantime?"

"What a blacksmith typically doesmake things."

Tian Qiyuan left Zi Xuan’s world shortly after and disappeared from the world for an entire year.

News of the Exalted Blacksmith accepting commissions spread throughout the Nine Heavens after the auction house. Many people wanted to request a commission immediately, but all of them quickly came to the same realization that stopped them from doing so.

"How the hell do we contact the Exalted Blacksmith when we don’t even know his identity or where to find him?"

Indeed, Tian Qiyuan had departed the auction house so quickly that he forgot to mention the store he had opened in the Eighth Heaven, where he would be accepting requests.

Tian Qiyuan found it weird that nobody approached him even though many months had passed, and he was beginning to doubt his own popularity.

"Ah! I forgot to tell them about this store!" he suddenly came to this realization one day.

Upon realizing his mistake, he immediately began spreading information about his store. Not even half a day after he began spreading the news, experts from around the world flocked to his store like hungry pigeons.

His store was situated in the middle of nowhere, standing alone in an open, empty grassland. It was almost impossible to miss once someone entered its vicinity, but without knowledge of its existence, nobody would go out of their way to visit such a desolate place.

However, once news of his store spread, the once-empty grassland quickly became crowded with people.
