Chapter 466: Chapter 458 Upgrading Weapons_1

After exiting, Qin Niu made a beeline for the carriage. Tang Cai Xian was still seated inside.

She was pregnant, and Qin Niu had not wanted her to come, but she wished to accompany him to the city. So he had let her.

It was a good opportunity to take her to see the newly purchased quadrangle and those shops.

“Cai Xian, all the family’s fields and shops have been transferred to Wan Yan’s name. Are you sure you have no objections? If we need to make changes, there’s still time. I can have Mr. Niu transfer the shops to your name.”

Qin Niu treated both his wives equally.

Only, the official wife naturally had certain advantages.

In some wealthy families, the concubines had a very low status, just a bit higher than that of a servant girl.

Yet Tang Cai Xian received the treatment of an equal wife in the Qin Family.

“We are all one family, what objections could I possibly have? Besides, Sister Wan Yan has always been kind to me. If it’s in her name, would she deny me and our child food? I have no interest in managing family properties. As long as I can live a life of love with you, I’d be willing to work the fields every day.”

Her heart was full of love, and she had no interest in competing for the family property.

Her greatest wish was to spend a life of love with Qin Niu.

“To marry both you and Wan Yan in this lifetime is indeed my good fortune. Sit tight; I’ll stop by the Cultivation Market first.”

Qin Niu drove the carriage straight to the Cultivation Market.

He even went out of his way to visit the mute girl Bei Bing in her talisman shop.

Her grandfather still hadn’t returned.

During their conversation, it was evident that she was deeply worried about her grandfather’s safety.

Due to the war between three sects, roads were blocked, and her grandfather couldn’t return.

Now that the war was essentially over, Qin Niu believed her grandfather would soon return safely. He comforted her with a few words before driving to Master Ou’s smithy.

Tang Cai Xian refused to show her face in public, so she stayed inside the carriage compartment, waiting for Qin Niu.

Upon entering the smithy, Master Ou was sitting behind the counter, carefully examining a narrow sword, while his apprentice worked tirelessly in the forging room, pounding away with a heavy hammer.

Learning blacksmithing skills must start with the basics.

Hammering was a compulsory lesson for every blacksmith.

Not only did repeated hammering refine the impurities out of the raw materials, making the metal more compact and hard, but it also improved the blacksmith’s forging level.

The final shape of a blade, whether the edge is even—all of these require relentless effort and continual experience to achieve a higher standard.

Inferior blacksmiths often produce weapons with poor designs, loose material structure, uncoordinated proportions, and inadequate tempering, leading to terrible user experiences.

For a seasoned blacksmith like Master Ou, using the weapons he forged was a true delight.

“Master Ou, busy as always!” Qin Niu greeted him with a smile.

Master Ou’s gaze shifted from the narrow sword in his hand and he looked up at Qin Niu.

“Ah, it’s you! I must say I was once blind to greatness, not realizing that you were the well-known Insect Master Qin Niu.”

Qin Niu didn’t expect that Master Ou, who spent all day cooped up in his shop forging iron, would be aware of his identity.

“You flatter me! I’m just a country youth.” Qin Niu was humbly modest.

“If I hadn’t seen you break the enemy’s Insect Formation on the battlefield that day, who would have thought that someone so ordinary-looking like you could be so capable. A true hero indeed! What brings you here today? Do you wish to purchase an Insect Jar or to have weapons forged?”

Master Ou gestured towards a stool in front of the counter.

“Please, have a seat!”

The stool was old and dirty; one really couldn’t be too choosy in a smithy.

“I’ve come today to ask you a few questions.” Qin Niu spoke and placed the Ink Blade directly on the counter.

“Do you remember this blade?”
