"This is just one possibility."

Jian Xin seemed to be aware of their suspicions and said indifferently, "In the Nine-State world, each team is escorting certain existences. This is just one of the possibilities; the restructuring of the Sun Moon is imperative."

The surrounding Xinyi Academy cultivators were too shocked to speak, finally muttering, "Even if it's just one possibility, this weapon is still described more grandiosely than that one in Xinyi Academy!"

"That old man in Xinyi Academy not only placed this Divine Artifact on the Divine Weapon List but also on the Divine Craftsman List."

Jian Xin casually replied:

"This time we came because that individual in Xinyi Academy said this Demon Weapon might have the potential to heal the Saint's eyes, so we acted accordingly."

"And that individual has already gone to the capital early, waiting for us to bring the sword there."

The Sword Fairy trembled all over; her heart was even more shaken.

It turned out to be so exciting; the blessing came so suddenly!

The grace of recognizing a talent!

They had met a benefactor, it turned out to be a revered elder from Xinyi Academy who put them on the list and is now recommending them to the capital?

Indeed, meeting a benefactor is the key to taking flight.

Is our manor... about to rise?

Not just Jian Xin, even the various great powers around, their level and realm couldn't be discerned, but they must be strong... these are the pinnacle existences in this world.

She seemed ready to speak.

She intended to boast about Sword Casting Manor, to do a bit of advertising; now was the perfect time to make a name.

Thus in the future, orders from the Holy Land, major sects, and even the court, wouldn't come rolling in?

Jian Xin coldly said, "Do not leak any information, not everyone present can be trusted, assassins might be lurking, this escort to the capital is of utmost importance for you!"

He spoke to the Sword Fairy: "Do not mention the location of your Divine Craftsman, if his whereabouts are revealed, his whole place could be annihilated the next moment."

Jian Xin silently looked at his colleagues around him, even he couldn't guarantee there weren't traitors among them.

"Being involved in this matter needs utmost vigilance."

"You need to guard the information and escort it to the capital, in this world, only the Saint is trustworthy."

"Also, if the information about the Divine Artifact you carry is sufficient, it may not be necessary to invite your Divine Craftsman to act, because it's revealing him, making him an easy target."

"Keeping the Divine Craftsman hidden is the key."

"He is most likely a pioneer opening up a new school; no one knows which major sect or Holy Land in Xinyi Continent he's hiding in, and that is his best protection."

"To prevent him from being found, as a Divine Craftsman he has no combat power to protect himself, he would fall into certain hands."

He spoke softly, voice calm and unruffled:

"This is also a huge opportunity for you, for the world's Divine Craftsmen to study the rational techniques on you, searching for various possibilities!"

"Even your anonymous Divine Craftsman can communicate with the world's Divine Craftsmen through remote communication to forge a Divine Artifact for the land."

"Perhaps further, his lineage could become the Royal Forging Workshop, an honor the world's Divine Craftsmen dream of!"

Jian Xin described various possibilities.

But all this rests on successfully reaching the capital.

Gui Pu remained silent for a while; he was just an accessory and could even further study the characteristics of this Demon Weapon through the side effects of studying himself, the first generation Warlord.

The Sword Fairy was not afraid to hear this and said enthusiastically, "Then everyone, since we can't mention the address, identity, or characteristics of that Divine Craftsman... let me describe its greatness to you."

She began advertising: "Everyone, that is a story of blood and tears! Their passion..."

She kept rambling, chattering away.

Including Jian Xin and his team, they walked in silence for a long time, listening.

Mysteriously, they developed a certain degree of yearning and longing for that mysterious Casting Mountain Gate, for the lineage of blacksmiths.

The course of human history, the hymn of fire and tears, hmm?

...

...

Crack!

A streak of lightning flashed across the sky.

A giant face fell down from the heavens.

"Who??"

In the cavern, Jiao Wuyu opened their eyes, looking at the visitor from the depths of the wind and snow, unaffected by wind and snow, draped in a black robe, face unseen.

"Perhaps we can cooperate a bit." that person said.

"How to cooperate?"

"Attack this team going to the capital from Xinyi Continent, making the situation in this world even more chaotic." The voice was gentle and courteous, "That Divine Weapon must not reach the capital."

"Oh?" Jiao Wuyu stood up, "Isn't the interception mostly done by top alchemists and physicians from the major Holy Lands and sects of the other continents?"

"This weapon is given much importance above as well."

The other replied calmly, "Even we have spread word on the rivers and lakes, saying it can top the Xinyi Divine Weapon List."

"First place? A mere Three Elements level weapon, even if it is capable of growth, it hasn't grown yet, and people believe such rumors?" Jiao Wuyu sneered.

"Talk enough and it becomes truth." The voice carried an androgynous tone.

"You are muddying the waters." Jiao Wuyu responded calmly.

The other person said nothing but tossed over a storage ring.

Jiao Wuyu glanced at the storage ring, finally showing a satisfied smile: "Alright, I'll join you in attacking that team."

"Jian Xin huh." she murmured softly, this grudge should be avenged.

She looked distantly at the snow screen in the sky, not knowing how her daughter was doing currently.

...

Morning.

In the dormitory.

Jiucai Rong got out of bed.

His room was very tidy, with several small stools, the table covered in various written materials, and almost no decorations.

He heard that the girls' dormitory rooms were all beautifully decorated.

The room is super cute and pretty.

Winter has arrived, and most of the Hairpin Ladies and Embroideresses visit each other's homes, crafting accessories all day without going to the Hairpin Lady Tower.

"Once they finish crafting the accessories, we'll have another flagship product."

Jiucai Rong lies in bed, lounging under the crow feather quilt:

"Although they previously made various crow feather robes, cloth shoes, and other clothing for the Manor, they ultimately don't make money. Magical Artifacts are the real money-makers; they should contribute to our great Manor Master!"

"Hail, Lord of the Manor, we will surely become the number one manor in the land." He has no intention of getting out of bed.

Even after logging into the game, he wants to take a lazy nap in the dormitory, enjoying a leisurely time and experiencing the joy of lifestyle gamers.

This is called revenge vacation.

After all, outside, there must be a Jiucai Rong who has already started working.

Judging by his self-awareness, the other version of him is probably planting a daily task notice board in the square by now.

...

...

"Where's Jiucai Rong?"

Ning Zheng, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, braves the mountain snow and opens the door, sees the bustling blacksmiths.

Usually, Jiucai Rong is the first to rush over.

But now, he can't even be seen.

"No idea." Su Yuniang runs up instead and says, "Maybe he's sleeping in? Do you have any business today?"

Ning Zheng nods, "Yesterday, after a joint discussion with our Manor Master and several adults, we decided to partner with the Tomb Raider Shi Family in neighboring Yunshan City, along with three low-level Demon Cultivator families, to raid a tomb together."

He pauses and looks at the eager-eyed blacksmiths:

"At the same time, it's also a trial for you from the manor."

"This trial will be conducted via Teleportation Array to the destination, and not too many people can participate."

Ning Zheng, having read many forums, has learned the more official NPC task issuing mode:

"Please use your wits and talents to minimize sacrifices and material losses, be adaptable, and earn more benefits for the manor in this event."

As his words fall, many blacksmiths get excited and whisper to each other outside the window.

Every time the old steward appears now, they hide like stalkers, discreetly watching through various building windows.

"Damn, finally we can go on a dungeon raid again."

"Tomb raiding dungeon, must be puzzle-solving type?"

"I think it might be a hide-and-seek type escape room gameplay."

"Have you ever watched tomb raiding? Inside it's full of Tomb Guardian Beasts, traps, pitfalls; clearly, it's treasure hunting gameplay."

"Whatever, it's all good. The previous wimpy Talisman Master bosses weren't satisfying, now finally a big storyline has come."

"Bro, could the tomb be the supply channel, drawing cards from the tomb?"

"You guys are toxic, even want to draw cards for people's funeral offerings."

"What's wrong with drawing? The quality is high - Funeral Attendants, palace maidservants, much better quality than our Tomb Tavern NPCs."

...

Whenever anyone mentions the Tomb Tavern, many want to criticize.

It feels like an extremely failed structure.

Over half a month, it only managed to scam a hundred NPCs; Red Sun soon closed down.

After all, they should have anticipated that once the Bottle Ancestor died and a breach appeared in the Defense Array, not many Embers would come up.

Most of the arrivals were useless refugees, with only a small group being Spirit Farmers and Embroideresses who had activated lifestyle Spiritual Roots.

But eliminating those with inferior personality from the low-tier professions leaves only Erya.

This card draw rate reached a high of 1%.

This was undoubtedly a failed investment.

Though the Tomb Tavern wasn't entirely wasted, it can serve as a place to host guests in the future.

Since Sword Casting Manor will have advanced technology in the future, it will surely attract a group of enthusiastic young blacksmiths to worship like a Holy Land, filled with fervent pilgrims coming to exchange, worship, and apprentice themselves.

Previously, the tavern hosted a batch of guests, old and young blacksmiths.

Ning Zheng feels a bit helpless, hearing talk of:

"The new card pool has launched!"

"No surprise it's a card drawing game, a Rotation Pool every half month."

"Amazing, the previous one was Refugee Card Pool, now it's Official Tomb Card Pool, this game's creativity is really big! Playing a new and advanced card drawing mode."

"Wonder who's the tomb's UP this time, where's the SSR card."

"Draw the tomb owner?"

"Why can't the tomb wife's funeral attire be the UP?"

Before even starting work, these people want to "draw cards," talking academic terms Ning Zheng doesn't understand.

But he can guess some of the overall meaning.

Not just stealing funeral offerings but also want to take the burial maids, Earth-bound Spirits, aiming for total devastation.

In this regard, Ning Zheng actually feels very satisfied; such spirit is commendable.

At this moment, Embers Jiucai Rong rushes over:

"Sorry, I just went down the mines to confirm the miner's tasks. A few new miners did slipshod work, and others didn't notify me. I didn't realize you arrived."

Ning Zheng sees it's Embers Jiucai Rong, thinks this version works well too, not much different from the original, maybe even better:

"Get ready, take the construction team, and get ready to pass through the Teleportation Array, set up the site."

"Yes!"

At noon, Ning Zheng's Communication Token sends a signal.

He directly activates the Teleportation Array, ready to depart.

Ten blacksmith advance blacksmiths, carrying big bags, enter the Teleportation Array.
