1515 Tian Qiyuan's World
As a sword enthusiast, the mere mention of Tian Qiyuan's plan to craft the pinnacle of swords sent a thrill through Zi Xuan, igniting a spark of excitement in her.
The fact that she was essentially giving him the resources to craft the weapon made it seem like she contributed to the creation of the sword.
'Ah… I'm wet…' she thought to herself with a europhic expression on her face.
Tian Qiyuan ignored the weird expression on Zi Xuan's face and collected the materials.
"I'm going to return to my world right now, but I won't begin the smithing for a few more days," he said afterward.
"I'll follow you there," she snapped out of it and said.
"Okay."
They left Zi Xuan's world shortly after.
A few days later, Tian Qiyuan arrived at the entrance to his world, which was located near a river in the middle of a mountain valley.
Tian Qiyuan's world consisted of three areas. The first one to enter Zi Xuan's view was a floating island that had a majestic golden mountain and a golden waterfall.
The next appeared to be a floating island with a volcano that appeared ordinary at a glance, but when Zi Xuan tried to take a deep look into it, she found an unfathomable existence living within.
Unfortunately, this presence was too powerful for even an expert like Zi Xuan to perceive fully. Not wanting to offend such a formidable entity, she immediately withdrew her divine sense the moment she became aware of its existence.
The third area was a simple floating island with two buildings. One appeared to be his living quarters, and the other a smithy.
"You're the first human ever to visit this place." Tian Qiyuan suddenly said to her.
"The first human, huh…" Zi Xuan glanced at the volcano.
"Do you want a tour of the place while we're here?" he suddenly asked.
"Sure!"
Tian Qiyuan proceeded to lead Zi Xuan to the golden mountain with the waterfall and said, "This entire mountain is made of Primordial Gold, and the water is all liquid from the Golden Celestial Tree that you see growing around the river.
Sure enough, dozens of Golden Celestial Trees were growing along the river, each of them at least a million years old. A single Golden Celestial Tree could sell for the price of several Mystic-grade treasures.
"This is the first time I've seen so many Golden Celestial Trees in one place…" Zi Xuan swallowed nervously at the marvelous sight. However, they still weren't as impressive as the golden mountain that was completely made of Primordial Gold.
Primordial Gold was more valuable than Empyrean Gold, and a small fist-sized chuck could easily sell for the price of a Mystic-grade treasure. Yet, there was a whole mountain of it in Tian Qiyuan's world.
"Why do you need so much Primordial Gold and Golden Celestial Tree?" Zi Xuan asked him out of curiosity.
"I'll be using most of it for my masterpiece," he calmly said.
"M-most of it?! You can easily craft a dozen Celestial-grade treasures with this much material!" she exclaimed in shock.
"Even if it can craft a hundred Celestial-grade treasures, it wouldn't be able to compare to my masterpiece." Tian Qiyuan said in a confident tone.
"Just what kind of sword are you trying to craft? Do you intend on slaying gods or something?" Zi Xuan shook her head. Since she didn't have any idea what kind of sword he was creating, she couldn't help but consider it a waste of resources.
"Let's head to the next island. By the way, I call this place the Golden Valley."
Tian Qiyuan led her to the second island with the volcano, but he didn't enter its territory and merely inspected it from outside.
"You should have already noticed its existence by now, but I do not live in this world alone. My companion isn't human, either. It resides inside the mountain, where all sorts of precious ores and jewelry can be found, especially those that grow in extremely hot conditions."
"What kind of entity lives here? Since it can withstand the immense heat in this place, it's most likely a Yang Element beast, right?" Zi Xuan inquired.
"Indeed, it's a Yang Element beast. I would introduce you now, but it only comes out when I work on profound treasures that require unique flames. That said, you'll meet it once I begin working on your sword."
"It even assists you with your creation? I cannot imagine what kind of beast has the capabilities to do that…"
With that said, Zi Xuan could think of one entity that could produce flames, but it seemed so farfetched that she didn't even consider it possible and quickly tossed that thought aside.
Since he didn't want to disturb the entity any longer, Tian Qiyuan led Zi Xuan to the final island.

"This is my living quarter, and the other building is my workshop." Tian Qiyuan said, confirming Zi Xuan's speculations earlier.He invited her into his living quarters and served her tea.
As she sipped on the tea, Zi Xuan's eyes remained fixated on Tian Qiyuan's mask.
When her curiosity could no longer be contained, she asked him, "Would you be willing to show me your face? I promise I won't tell anyone. I can even swear on my soul if that would reassure you."
Without waiting for Tian Qiyuan's response, Zi Xuan raised her hand and swore, "With heaven as my witness, I swear upon my soul that I would not reveal your identity to anyone you don't want me to."
"You didn't have to do that. I would've shown you my face even without needing the oath, but it does make it more easy for me to reveal my face."
Tian Qiyuan wasn't worried that she might recognize him because his true identity, besides being the Exalted Blacksmith, was a nobody who belonged to no background.
He removed his mask the following moment, revealing his handsome face to Zi Xuan.
