Chapter 321 Famous Craftsman
There is a lot of traffic in Yanzhou City, and even in the alleys you can see many figures.

Such a grand occasion could never be seen in Lingzhou even in times of peace.

Yanzhou is the most convenient passage from the Central Plains to the northern border, and it is a gathering place for merchants traveling from the south to the north.

Most of these merchants will first sell in Yanzhou for a period of time, which can not only reduce transportation costs but also recover some costs in advance.

Therefore, there is nothing ordinary in Yanzhou City, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

In the south of Yanzhou City, there is a densely packed area of ​​workshops.

This is where the craftsmen in the city gather.

The so-called artisan households are craftsmen who have worked for the imperial court for generations.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Although the political status of these craftsmen is lower than that of farmers and their descendants cannot pass the imperial examinations to gain fame, many craftsmen can often achieve a level of wealth through their skills. Although they cannot cross the class, they can still have some wealth.

Among these craftsmen, there is a legend.

This man is also the pride of Yanzhou craftsmen.

Because this man started out as a craftsman and worked his way up to become a famous blacksmith master in the North. Even the bigwigs in the North treated him with respect.

These craftsmen had seen the prefect of Yanzhou once kindly ask the master to forge a weapon.

Damn it!

That’s the prefect.

In the eyes of these craftsmen, the prefect is a supreme figure. Such a great man respects the craftsmen, and other craftsmen also feel proud of him.

There is an area in the Jianghu District that is exclusively for blacksmiths.

When, when, when!
The sound of blacksmithing was endless and the scene was bustling with activity.

The scorching heat makes people feel suffocated. Except for the blacksmiths who are by the furnace all year round, the rest of the people will probably faint due to the high temperature if they stay here for just an incense stick of time.

Even experienced craftsmen need some way to dissipate the heat.

Except for one person.
At the deepest part of the blacksmith shop, there was a middle-aged man about forty years old.

His upper body was naked, his muscles bulging like a dragon, and a sense of wild power filled the shop.

The loud sound of hammering came from the anvil in front of him.

Every hammer creates bursts of sparks, which is quite beautiful.

He looked extremely focused, as if nothing else in the world except blacksmithing had anything to do with him.

He did it one hundred and thirty-seven times before he finally stopped.

"Are you looking for me?"

He looked at the burly man beside him.

The sturdy man stayed beside him for a full half hour without saying a word, showing great patience.

"I'm here to check the condition of the weapons for Lord Bai from Lingzhou."

Bai Yuan made up an excuse.

The blacksmith nodded.

There are many people with the surname Bai, but he is the only one in Lingzhou.

It was the general of Lingzhou.

"it is good."

The blacksmith spoke very little. After he said the word "good", he fell silent again.

He turned around and took Bai Yuan to the back of the shop.

There is a wall here, with many weapons hanging densely on it.

These are all magical weapons made by blacksmiths commissioned by the great men in the North.

Some of these weapons even made Bai Yuan tempted.

The blacksmith pointed to a scarlet scimitar at the highest point of the wall and said, "That's the one."

"It took me ten days to form it. I need to nurture it here for ten days before I can sharpen it and turn it into a weapon."

Bai Yuan was puzzled: "Nurture?"

The blacksmith's face showed a hint of pride. "Yes, nurturing. Martial artists like luck, and so do weapons. There are dozens of magical weapons gathered here, which is a perfect place to nurture them. After being catalyzed by my secret method, the weapons can be given more spirituality."

Bai Yuan was surprised. As expected, there are 360 ​​professions, and every profession has its top talent.

A blacksmith could have such magical skills.

The so-called spirituality is actually a mysterious statement. Weapons with spirituality can get along well with their masters more quickly.

Just like some weapons are made of ordinary materials but are easy to use, precisely because the weapon is spiritual enough.

Only a skilled blacksmith knows how to give weapons spirituality.

Tang Tie is such a blacksmith.

Bai Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that my money was well spent.

It's worth exchanging 30% of the blood-burning iron for a weapon with spirituality.

The more he looked at the blood-red scimitar, the more he liked it.

Yes, this time he forged a bloody scimitar.

He encountered the same dilemma as his black-faced master. There was too little blood iron, not enough to make a long sword exactly the same as the previous one, so he had to settle for the next best thing and change to a scimitar.

With Bai Yuan's current martial arts attainments, he actually no longer cares about the type of weapon.

Bai Yuan: "Master Bai will definitely be very satisfied."

Tang Tie finally smiled: "Of course."

He has always been confident in his blacksmithing skills. Even in the Central Plains where there are many skilled craftsmen, he believes that he is no worse than others.

There was a flash of surprise in Bai Yuan's eyes.

He could feel that Tang Tie's martial arts level was not bad, at least he was an entry-level martial artist.

It is rare for a master to be willing to stay in a blacksmith shop.

But when I think about the fact that I was still a cook when I first started working, it seems quite normal.

Since there were only ten days left for his blood iron to be forged into a weapon, Bai Yuan decided to wait a little longer in Yanzhou.

Anyway, with Kong Sen in Lingzhou now, there won't be any big trouble.

He couldn't wait to get the knife.

Ten days passed in a flash.

When Qiu Yang heard that Bai Yuan would stay in Yanzhou for another ten days, he had to return to Lingzhou first.

The reason why he was able to leave Dingzhou this time was to escort the transport ship.

Now the transport ships have docked and the supplies will soon be delivered to Dingzhou. If we delay in Yanzhou for too long, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Grand Guardians.

He can ignore the other people in Dingzhou, and even the King of Qingzhou doesn't need to be taken too seriously.

But the great guardian must be served carefully.

After all, most of the Cao Gang's business is in the south of the Yangtze River. If Yan Shaoan intends to make things difficult for them, even if the Cao Gang can continue to operate, he, as the incense leader, will definitely not be able to keep his position.

Yan Shaoan's words are more effective in Jiangnan than the emperor's oral orders.

Bai Yuan continued to disguise himself as Yuan Hei and stayed in Yanzhou City for a while.

During this period, he went to the blacksmith shop several times.

He deliberately hid his whereabouts, so neither the provincial government nor the Lieyang League discovered his whereabouts for the time being.

Finally, the day to pick up the goods arrived.

Bai Yuan went out early and paid the room fee at the inn.

Now that he had obtained the scimitar, there was no need for him to stay in Yanzhou any longer.

The inn where he stayed was not far from the blacksmith shop. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at Tang Tie's blacksmith shop.

From a distance, you can see Tang Tie carefully wiping a blood-red scimitar.

What Bai Yuan had seen before was just a rough draft, but now it has finally taken shape, revealing its sharp edge. The eerie blood-red color is daunting, and wherever the edge reaches, the temperature drops a bit, and it is filled with murderous aura.

This is also the most unique feature of weapons made of blood-red iron.

It is truly a first-class magical weapon!
