Lin Yi nodded-this was easy to understand. In theory, being a blacksmith was even more expensive than being an Alchemist, and it was only natural that an inner disciple like trash King, who wasn’t well-liked, couldn’t be made without rice.
He paused and took a deep breath before looking at Lin Yi with a burning gaze,””The nine tailed cloud piercer leopard’s front paw and whip tail are both great materials that can only be found by luck. If brother Lin can trust me, you can come to the GreenCloud Pavilion to find me at any time. I’m willing to help you forge a weapon for free.”
So that was how it was! Lin Yi didn’t reply immediately after understanding the purpose of the visit. He asked,”May I know where brother Wang’s master is? Do the three great pavilions have a place that specifically trains forgers?”
The king of junk was stunned for a moment before he replied,”no, I don ‘t. Being a forger is a very unpopular profession. As far as I know, there aren’t many real forgers on the North Island, but there are many in the middle Island. As for my master, I only learned from a forger master named sun sikong for a few days by chance. The rest of it was learned by myself. But don’t worry, I dare not boast about other things, but my forging ability is absolutely not a problem!”
This is called not daring to boast? “But Chen heihu said that you’ve never succeeded before?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Uh …” The king of junk choked. No matter how much he claimed to be a genius in forging, this was a bloody fact. It was also because of this that people called him the king of junk.
“I believe that you will succeed. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will come to the GreenCloud Pavilion to find you!” Lin Yi said with a smile.
He had a good impression of the king of junk. He could tell that he was a man with real materials. However, even with the worst materials, this guy still insisted on forging top-tier divine weapons. It would be strange if this guy could still succeed with such a strange idea!
But anyway, the front paws and whip tail of the Nine-Tailed cloud piercing leopard were useless in his hands. If he had time in the future, he might as well find this guy and research it together. Maybe he could really cast something decent!
“You’re really willing to believe me?” The king of junk was overjoyed. He didn’t have high hopes for this at first, and he just didn’t want to waste the good materials. He didn’t expect Lin Yi to agree.
One had to know that although the blacksmith profession had always been sought after, the number of people who truly lived up to this title could be counted on one’s fingers.
A forger like the king of junk, who had never succeeded in forging any decent weapons, was a complete joke in the eyes of others. They would not take his words seriously at all, let alone hand over the rare materials in their hands to him. Even if the king of junk took the initiative to ask him to forge for them for free, it would be impossible.
Because once these materials were used for forging, there would only be two results. Either it would succeed and become a part of a divine weapon, or it would fail and become a pile of waste with no value.
And with the rag King’s embarrassing history, could this guy actually succeed? Only a ghost would believe him! Oh, even the ghostly things didn’t believe him!
It was no exaggeration to say that out of ten thousand people, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people would not believe in the ability of the king of junk. But today, he was lucky to meet the last person who was willing to believe him.
For him, this was probably his last straw to clutch at. If he did not grab this opportunity to clear his name, he might really have to spend the rest of his life with the awkward title of King of junk.
Seeing Lin Yi’s nod, rag King was so excited that he started rambling,”Th-then thank you so much. Brother Lin, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to craft something good for you. I won’t waste this great material. When you’re free, you can come to the GreenCloud Pavilion to find me at any time. I’ll always be waiting!”
“Alright, I still have some important matters to attend to for the time being, so it’ll probably take a while. I’ll leave it to you then.” Lin Yi replied.
Although he believed that the king of junk had the ability to Smith, he had to be on guard against him since the latter had a zero success rate. If he were to hand the materials over to the king of junk, he might really lose everything.
And so, even if he agreed to let the king of junk help, Lin Yi decided to follow the whole process, and at the same time, observe and learn how to forge.
No matter what, the king of junk was still a true blacksmith. His attainments in the field of forging were much deeper than his, who had to rely on himself to explore.
After all, he’d repaired the Shennong medicine cauldron, expanded the space in the Jade, made essence necklaces, and made heaven-grade weapons all by himself, but none of that could be considered forging in the truest sense of the word. He’d still have to put in some effort and learn systematically if he wanted to make a real weapon himself.
This was because forging was not just following a blueprint. It required creation, combining different materials into one, and not simply forging according to a blueprint!
There were thousands of materials in the world. If everyone could forge the same divine weapon, what difference would there be?
In this aspect, no matter how notorious the king of junk’s reputation was, he was still worthy of being his teacher. When the time came, they could observe and learn from each other, and they would definitely benefit a lot.
Although he’d agreed to it, Lin Yi guessed that it’d be a few months before he could ask the king of junk for help.
This was because the time it took to forge a weapon was far longer than making an elixir. It could easily take a few months, or even eight to ten years. Lin Yi, on the other hand, had to deal with the newcomer’s test at the welcome Pavilion. He didn’t have that much free time, so he could only wait until he was done.
“Yes, yes, it’s fine. Brother Lin, do as you please. The patience of a forger is not to be trifled with. I can wait any longer!” The king of junk did not care about this at all, and he kept nodding.
To him, Lin Yi agreeing to help him forge was already a blessing from the heavens. As for waiting for a while, that wasn’t a problem at all-he could afford to wait for as long as he wanted!
The king of junk was even thinking about what supplementary materials he should find to match the front claws and the tail of the Nine-Tailed cloud piercer.
Although it was difficult for him to get anything good with his ability, if he used these scraps well, they could also produce unexpected magical effects. This was the core value of him as a forger!
“Brother Wang, we’ll part ways here.” Lin Yi was about to leave when he realized that the king of junk didn’t even bother with him. He was frowning and deep in thought, mumbling about forging materials from time to time. He seemed to be completely immersed in his own thoughts, not caring about the outside world.
