Chapter 124 Initial Attempt
Upon hearing President Shi mention the Divine Craftsmen, Xiao Yan naturally thought of the three Divine Craftsmen. Apart from Lou Gao, who was far away in Gengxin City, the other two were actually quite close to him in some ways: one was Tang San's father, and the other was a subordinate sect of Tang San's father.
Speaking of which, Titan should be in Heaven Dou City, right? Actually, if all else fails, Xiao Yan wouldn't mind telling Titan Tang San his true identity and having the old man hammer some iron for him.
"But regarding the Divine Craftsman, our association already has an Honorary Vice President, Divine Craftsman Titan. As long as we offer some benefits and I do some favors, it shouldn't be a problem."
"But Chairman Shi also said that this is a difficult point. Has something happened?" Xiao Yan sensed that there must be some hidden meaning in the other party's words.
President Shi nodded: "The National Soul Master Competition is about to start in the second half of this year, right? That old gorilla has taken his precious grandson to special training. I haven't been able to contact him for more than a month."
Titan does indeed have a grandson. It was Tang San who beat up the younger one, then the older one came, and after beating the older one, an even older one appeared.
"In that case, it is indeed a bit difficult. However, I don't have that much money to buy the entire piece of sunken silver," Xiao Yan said truthfully.
"If we only need a small piece of this deep-sea sunken silver for the material, Chairman Shi, do you think we can offer a discount? Do you have any blacksmiths in your association who can help forge it?"
Chairman Shi nodded, not regretting that he couldn't sell the large piece of sunken silver. After all, Xiao Yan only wanted to make a small item. Although the remaining sunken silver would be his after it was cut, you can't guarantee that he wouldn't have such thoughts.
"In that case, the price will be much lower. As for forging, if you can afford to wait a month or half a year, you can forge the necklace you need once he appears. We can't find the old gorilla right now.
If all else fails, I can try contacting my senior brother, but I don't know where he is now. It's not that I'm incapable, I just don't want to waste such good talent.
Xiao Yan nodded in understanding. A blacksmith's passion is never about the value of a thing, but about how to forge a satisfactory object and how to avoid wasting excellent mineral resources.
After reaching an agreement, Xiao Yan added another sum to the original deposit. Although it was still not cheap, costing more than 10,000 gold soul coins in total, Xiao Yan felt that this amount was nothing compared to the one million gold soul coins of the whole piece of sunken silver.
He held the Rolling Ball Beast in his arms contentedly and walked out of the Blacksmith Association side by side with Tang San. Behind them, Chairman Shi was still waving goodbye enthusiastically and urging Tang San to send over the blueprints as soon as possible.
"Little San, it seems that Chairman Shi is quite fond of you," Xiao Yan teased.
"They must admire my father. Every time I use the Chaotic Cloak Hammering Technique that my father taught me in front of them, these blacksmiths' eyes light up. They keep asking me what kind of long-lost hammering technique this is, and they keep asking me where I learned it. It makes me afraid to show it off easily."
Xiao Yan nodded. After all, this was the only thing Tang Dachui had left him so far, and he couldn't just keep forging iron in the blacksmith's shop and let others steal his skills.
"Brother, why did you create this necklace? You don't seem to lack soul power during battle."
In fact, aside from his first soul skill from earlier years, Xiao Yan's current soul skills, except for his second soul skill which still consumes a lot of soul power and mental energy against those with higher soul power, don't consume too much. Therefore, in Tang San's opinion, his elder brother Xiao Yan doesn't need such an item to help him replenish his soul power at all.
"Yes, mistress, I created this to preserve a certain state of being."
"Status?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"As you know, Agumon can evolve along with my soul power, but it seems to have hit a bottleneck. What it conveyed to me was that it occasionally feels a power, but that power comes and goes quickly, and it's so fleeting that it can't be grasped. So I was thinking, if there were a part that could store that power, could it evolve further on top of Agumon?"
Aside from concealing the fact that Agumon could evolve into Greymon and could speak, Xiao Yan told Tang San almost everything exactly as it happened.
"I see. No wonder it requires rare minerals like deep-sea silver." Tang San nodded. When he saw the deep-sea silver, he wondered if he could use such materials to forge some of the top-ranked hidden weapons in the Xuan Tian Treasure Record.
"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll have Chairman Shi give it a try, but we don't know if it'll work yet." Xiao Yan sighed and stretched.
He didn't originally have this sense of urgency; this feeling started after he saw the Snow Night Emperor fully recovered.
The missions Dugu Bo carried out, the upheavals in Tian Dou, the fall of Shrek Academy, and the change of the throne in Xing Luo—all these things began to change somewhat from what he remembered after he arrived.
Especially when Tang San talked about silkworm molting in Sunset Forest, Xiao Yan realized with alarm that there must be some kind of power controlling these things. If he didn't act quickly, he might be helpless when things happened.
Therefore, he must become stronger, strong enough to deal with Title Douluos, or even gods...
That night, Xiao Wu stood nervously at the academy gate, waiting for Xiao Yan and Tang San. It seemed that Dugu Bo had arrived at the academy before them and had given Xiao Wu the information.
As the eldest brother, Xiao Yan simply patted her head affectionately, and Xiao Wu naturally hugged the rolling beast that was sticking to her. The family was happy and harmonious.
Back at the dormitory entrance, Tang San paused in front of Xiao Yan's dormitory, seemingly hesitant.
"What's wrong, mistress?" Xiao Yan asked, seeing the other party's behavior.
"Big brother, now that you know about Dai Mubai and have obtained your fourth spirit ring, aren't you going to go and settle accounts with him yourself?"
"Yes, if someone treats me with respect, I'll repay them tenfold. But if someone annoys me for a moment, I'll be annoyed with them for a lifetime. Since he dared to send spies to kill me, then the hunter must be prepared to become the prey at any time."
"Then, brother, I..."
"You and Xiao Wu should focus on your training at the academy. It's not good to make a big fuss about this. I'll go alone. After all, it's quite convenient to kill a minor Soul Master."
It has only been less than three months since Shrek Academy caused trouble last year. Xiao Yan does not believe that this amount of time is enough for Dai Mubai to break through to the Soul Master level. After all, this playboy will only go to brothels to listen to music when he is bored.
Hearing his elder brother's words, as if he had expected it, Tang San took out two boxes from his pocket.
"Brother, there are two pairs of Soul-Chasing Deadly Gallbladders inside. The mother gallbladder is poisonous, and the child gallbladder can melt bones. I remember that among the people from Shrek Academy that day, weren't there two Soul Saint level experts? If we get entangled with them, it's not impossible to kill them with these hidden weapons if we use them properly."
Tang San said with a cold face, "These were also created by Tang San at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well a few days ago."
Xiao Yan accepted it without hesitation: "Don't worry, Xiao San, I'm only going there to return Dai Mubai's greeting. If those two Soul Saints from Shrek Academy still blindly protect the student, then I don't mind killing one more."
