Chapter 7: Weapon Refining

Tungsten Steel Powder was an extremely rare material. Every time the Merchants Association took it out, it was always sold at an inconceivable price. Furthermore, there was no market for the material. If there was ever a substitute for such a scarce material, then the high demand for Tungsten Steel Powder would dramatically decrease.

Qin Yu saw the disdain on Tie Shou’s face and his own face exposed an even stronger expression of contempt. His voice was indifferent as he asked, “Isn’t there Fire Mica, Water Crow Powder and Black Star Stone?”

Tie Shou was slightly startled. He originally thought that Qin Yu was ignorant when it came to tool refining but he didn’t expect that Qin Yu would actually know such rare materials like Fire Mica and Water Crow Powder. It seemed like this boy wasn’t a complete idiot.

However, what did he want the Black Star Stone for? Black Star Stone was a type of spirit stone and cultivators normally used it to cultivate by absorbing the spirit qi. It was not a material for tool refining.

Tie Shou was very curious. “Young Master Qin, I 1 have Fire Mica and Water Crow Powder here, but not Black Star Stone. May I ask why you would need these materials?”

Wang Murong who stood next to him curiously said, “I have some Black Star Stone. However, I don’t know what Qin Gongzi would like to do with them.”

“Just having it is fine. I’ll be troubling Great Master Tie to prepare these three materials for me. Let’s go to the weapons workshop.” After speaking, Qin Yu took the saber and directly walked out.

“This…” Tie Shou glanced at Wang Murong. To tell the truth, he wasn’t willing to go and prepare these materials for Qin Yu.

Tie Shou sighed helplessly and was forced to obediently prepare it.

After entering the Weapons Workshop, Qin Yu walked straight to the biggest furnace. For other furnaces, just having one strong man manage the fire would be enough but this furnace required two.

Qin Yu instructed, “Both of you over there, I’ll be troubling you for a bit. May I ask you two to tend to the biggest furnace’s fire? The bigger and stronger it is, the better.”

The two brawny men looked at Qin Yu strangely. Why was a young man who wasn’t even part of Tie Shou’s Craftsman Shop telling them what to do? The two just stood there and didn’t move. When tool refiner apprentices faced outsiders, they all seemed to have an innate arrogance to them.

“Do as he says.” At this moment, Tie Shou came over with his chief apprentice behind him. The tanned faced Mo Yu carried two materials in his arms: Fire Mica and Water Crow Powder.

The two brawny men wouldn’t dare to disobey Tie Shou’s orders. Here, Tie Shou was the emperor and whatever he wanted them to do, they would do.

“Yes, Master.” The two brawny men didn’t object and immediately went to tend to the furnace’s blaze wholeheartedly. Inside, the fire immediately began to grow and whistle fiercely, quickly raising the surrounding temperature. 2

Qin Yu looked at the flickering flames and loudly shouted, “Raise the heat!”

Due to Wang Murong’s request, Tie Shou was forced to order his men to serve Qin Yu. But he was also curious and wanted to see what exactly Qin Yu wanted to do. Could it be that Qin Yu thought the saber he refined wasn’t good enough and he could do even better? What a joke! As Luosang City’s only third-grade Tool Refiner Master, he could not tolerate such arrogance.

Qin Yu didn’t care about what they thought. He was completely focused on his own thing. The flames in the furnace were scaldingly hot and once he felt that the temperature was just right, he shouted, “Black Star Stone!”

“It’s here.” Wang Murong shook her hand and a pile of Black Star Stones immediately appeared.

Qin Yu saw how the Black Star Stone appeared out of nowhere onto Wang Murong’s hand and his eyes sharpened. He fixed his eyes on Wang Murong’s slender finger. A trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.

A space ring?

It was something the average person could never afford. Plus, compared to the extremely rare Tungsten Steel Powder, the space ring was over a hundred times rarer and more valuable. In Luosang City, even the venerated Tie Shou didn’t have one, not to mention the Qin Family Master who was never seen with anything resembling a space ring.

Wang Murong was only a girl in her teens yet she had such a valuable object that could easily take out a pile of Black Star Stone. What kind of terrifying family background did she have? Qin Yu grew more and more curious about her background.

It wasn’t just Qin Yu, everybody standing at the side couldn’t help but swallow a gulp of saliva as their eyes exposed a thread of greed. Fortunately, they were all weak. If they were stronger, they would have directly killed her and taken it. After all, this was a cultivator’s world. The weak were prey to the strong and killing others to seize their valuables was a common occurrence.

“Qin Gongzi, is this enough?” asked Wang Murong.

“It’s enough.” Qin Yu hastily accepted the Black Star Stone and turned to throw it into the hot furnace before loudly shouting, “Add more force and make it even stronger!”

The two brawny men who were stoking the fire dripped with sweat as they frantically fanned the blaze. The flames in the furnace released a wheezing sound as it roared. The furnace slowly turned red.

The furnace was specially designed for high temperatures, so there wasn’t a need to worry about it melting.

Qin Yu saw that the two were running out of strength and once again loudly yelled, “Switch for someone else!”

Two other brawny men came up to replace them and continued to fan the blaze
