In less than half a minute, a beautiful figure floated into the courtyard like a butterfly. Lei Xiaodie, with an excited expression, ran over lightly and said, "Zi Yu, you finally came!"
As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the black cloth-wrapped Broadsword held in Ye Yang's arms. A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes as she lightly laughed and said, "Let me guess, this is... the Fourth-Grade Weapon you forged?"
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile as he handed over the True Fire Blade and said, "You can see for yourself!"
"Mm!"
Lei Xiaodie took the Broadsword and carefully unwrapped the cloth. When the True Fire Blade revealed its intimidating aura, Lei Xiaodie widened her eyes in astonishment, her delicate shoulders trembling slightly, and endless surprise and joy appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"This... this can't be real, right?"
Lei Xiaodie gasped, looking at Ye Yang and then at the supervisor behind him, incredulously saying, "This... this isn't a Fourth-Grade Weapon. Judging from the intensity of the weapon's spiritual energy, it is at least a Third Rank Weapon!"
Ye Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly. I named this blade True Fire Blade. It has a fire attribute and incorporates the Core energy of a Ninth-Grade Beast, Fire Qilin. Its damage to iron is immense. After infusing it with True Qi, it can unleash high-temperature flames. On the battlefield, it can instantly melt and shatter an enemy's iron armor or weapons. If used with a long handle, it would be a Divine Weapon for generals. I'm very confident about this!"
Lei Xiaodie was overjoyed, unable to express her happiness. Suddenly, she swung the True Fire Blade back and lightly leaped into Ye Yang's arms, wrapping one arm around his neck while laughing joyfully, "Zi Yu, this is amazing! I didn't make a wrong bet; you truly didn't let me down!"
"Miss..."
Ye Yang wanted to say "not allowed," but with two soft mounds pressing tightly against his chest, he swallowed his words.
After a few seconds, Lei Xiaodie suddenly realized something and released Ye Yang, stepping back several paces with a flushed face. She whispered, "I'm sorry... I got too excited..."
Ye Yang smiled and said, "It's fine; after all, I'm not at a loss..."
"You!"
Lei Xiaodie bit her lip, looking at the low-key yet astonishing young man in front of her. For a moment, her heart was filled with both love and hate, leaving her flustered and speechless.
The supervisor noticed Lei Xiaodie's embarrassment and quickly said, “Young Master Ziyu, um... it seems that the young lady is too excited; please forgive her.”
“Oh, it’s fine!”
At this moment, Lei Xiaodie desperately calmed her racing heart and regained some composure. Looking at the True Fire Blade in her hand, she smiled and said, “The name is already engraved; it’s just... Zi Yu, is this your handwriting?”
Ye Yang's face turned red. “Ahem, I know my calligraphy is not presentable. Please don’t let anyone know this is my work!”
Lei Xiaodie couldn’t help but chuckle. “Once this True Fire Blade is revealed, Zi Yu, you will undoubtedly be revered as the current Divine Craftsman. Since you are a Divine Craftsman, even if your handwriting is terrible, it will still be recognized as a priceless treasure by the world. Yes, it must be so!”
Lei Xiaodie became somewhat incoherent. After all, the appearance of a Third Rank Weapon at the Azure Thunder Merchant Association was no small matter. Previously, a fifth-grade Ice Soul Battle Axe had significantly elevated the status of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association in the empire, taking the influence of the Guild to a new level. Now, with the emergence of this Third Rank Weapon, there was no doubt it would push the strength of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association to new heights!
This made Lei Xiaodie even more certain of her wise decision to befriend Ye Yang. Being able to reach a forging agreement with a living Divine Craftsman was something any merchant in the continent would envy. Even the largest alliance in the empire, the Redstone Alliance, only had a few second-rate blacksmiths capable of crafting a Seventh-Rank Weapon. Someone like Ye Yang, who could forge a Third Rank Weapon, was practically godlike.
...
Holding the True Fire Blade, Lei Xiaodie said with a smile, “Steward, immediately release news that the Azure Thunder Merchant Association will publicly auction a Third Rank blade in three days. Moreover, this is a high-quality Third Rank weapon crafted by a renowned master. I believe that after hearing this news, nobles and Valiant Generals from across the empire will gather in Liang City. Our rise in Central Plains relies on this grand gesture; we will announce the name of the True Fire Blade. Hmph! This time, I want to create momentum so that everyone knows about the existence of the Azure Thunder Merchant Association!”
The steward laughed heartily. “Young lady, your wisdom is remarkable! I will take care of it right away and ensure your satisfaction!”
Lei Xiaodie nodded with a smile. “Yes!”
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Yang. “Zi Yu, you must personally attend the public auction of the True Fire Blade in three days as its creator. Perhaps I will introduce you as this era's Divine Craftsman!”
Ye Yang pondered for a moment; this situation could not be classified as entirely good or bad. He faced hostility from the Redstone Alliance, but if he could make a name for himself as the Divine Craftsman, it might not be such a bad thing after all. After all, the Redstone Alliance was backed by the Qin Empire, and as long as the Qin Dynasty existed, the Redstone Alliance would likely not dare to act openly against him.
Through several encounters, Ye Yang had to be wary of the Redstone Alliance's strength, especially that of Fire Plow, whose abilities were on par with his own and perhaps even superior. Once Fire Plow recovered from his injuries and returned, Ye Yang would find it difficult to fend him off alone. Moreover, he had to protect the Ye Family and the Fire God Clan. In this chaotic world, he needed to strategize carefully; relying solely on brute strength would not lead to great achievements.
Thus, Ye Yang nodded and said, "Miss Lei, I will definitely be present when the True Fire Blade is auctioned. Don't worry; unless I am dead before then."
"Hey!" Lei Xiaodie shot him a glare and scolded, "Don't say such ominous things. Rest assured, I will send three Earth Level Eight guards to the Ye Family Mansion shortly. This time, the Azure Thunder Merchant Association will do everything in its power to protect the Ye Family and ensure your safety, Ye Yang!"
Ye Yang nodded. The fact that the Azure Thunder Merchant Association could summon three Earth Level Eight experts indicated their serious commitment to him. In this small Liang City, it was likely only the Azure Thunder Merchant Association that could afford such a display of strength; even the city lord Pang Jing probably did not possess such capabilities.
Lei Xiaodie chuckled and added, "Considering Zi Yu's significant contributions this time, I will give you fifty percent of whatever price the True Fire Blade sells for. How does that sound?"
Ye Yang readily agreed. The Ye Family Forge was currently being rebuilt and was in dire need of funds. Since Lei Xiaodie was so generous in offering him a share, he had no reason to refuse.
After finalizing their agreement, Ye Yang returned to his residence to continue his training while Lei Xiaodie began her promotional campaign.
