A while later, Yuan Yueli finished her weapon, and she immediately ordered her subordinates to tidy up all the remaining materials and clean up the workshop. She did not directly meet Ling Yun and Kou Zhenhan; instead, she disappeared from her workshop to hand over the weapon to the person who ordered it.

"Is she always like that, Senior?"

"Yueli will immediately send the weapon to the person who ordered it as soon as it's finished, and she usually won't be gone for long, so we just need to wait for her return." Kou Zhenhan immediately led Ling Yun to his workshop. "Let's go there first; you can see a lot of good equipment inside."

Ling Yun hurriedly followed the old man, and the two of them entered the workshop, where they saw many finished weapons and equipment neatly displayed on each side of the room.

"Long time no see, Old Kou." A young man approached them.

"Haha." Kou Zhenhan laughed, looking at the young man. "How's your blacksmithing progress, Tang Tianyu? Have you managed to forge the immortal-grade equipment now?"

"Old Kou, I've disappointed my master." Tang Tianyu sighed in disappointment. "I almost forged it a week ago, but I failed in the finishing process, and the result was truly terrible."

"In fact, I failed hundreds of times in the past, but I never gave up, and I finally succeeded in forging it." Kou Zhenhan patted his shoulder. "You only fail a few times, so you don't need to be disappointed in yourself. You just need to try harder, and I'm sure you'll succeed soon."

"I hope so." Tang Tianyu looked at Ling Yun, who was intently studying a sword on the north wall. "Who is this young man, Senior Kou? Is he your disciple?"

Kou Zhenhan looked at Ling Yun before answering Tang Tianyu. "His name is Ling Yun, and we met at the gate. If it weren't for him and his group, my wife and I would still be queuing outside now. If you pay attention to his posture, he is a blacksmith like us, but I don't know his true skills in blacksmithing yet. In fact, we came here because he wanted to show me his skills, so we will see it together after this, but we have to wait for your master to return."

"I see." Tang Tianyu nodded in understanding. "I don't mean to underestimate him, but he's still too young, so I think his skills are around earth or heaven rank."

Just like Tang Tianyu, Kou Zhenhan also believed that Ling Yun's blacksmith rank was around that rank because of his young age, but he could see that he was so confident when he said he could forge supreme-rank equipment before.

Ling Yun naturally heard Tang Tianyu's words, but he didn't think about it. Instead, he took the azure sword in front of him and asked him. "Senior Tang, how much is this Azure Dragon Sword?"

"The Azure Dragon Sword is one of the finest swords my master has ever created, Little Brother." Tang Tianyu walked over to Ling Yun's side. "My master didn't use metal or steel for its blade; instead, she used the spine of a dead Azure Dragon for its blade. She polished it using the scale powder and blood, and she used its hardened tendon for the hilt."

Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "So, how much is this sword?"

"This sword—"

"The sword is not for sale." They looked at Yuan Yueli, who had just arrived. She immediately moved next to Ling Yun, took the Azure Dragon Sword from his hand, and stored it into her storage ring. "You won't be able to find the materials again, so I will never sell it, and I will keep it as part of my collection."

Ling Yun was disappointed by that because he wanted to give the Azure Dragon Sword to one of his wives, but he didn't force Yuan Yueli to sell it to him.

"So, what brings you to my workshop?"

"I want to recruit you, Senior." Ling Yun's answer shocked Yuan Yueli and Tang Tianyu. "Even though you were busy forging that weapon earlier, I'm sure you overheard my conversation with Senior Kou. I need skilled people in various fields to help me realize my dream, and I know for a fact that your blacksmithing skills are extraordinary, so I want you to join me."

"Little Brother, you—"

"Enough, Tianyu." Yuan Yueli stopped her disciple. "What makes you think I would be willing to join you?"

"Honestly, I wasn't sure you would be willing to join me, Senior." Ling Yun then took out a small, bright red metal object, which confused Yuan Yueli, Kou Zhenhan, and Tang Tianyu. "This thing is Sun Flame Iron Ore, and you won't be able to find it anywhere in this Paradise Realm, but I have a lot in stock."

"Let me see it." Yuan Yueli seriously observed the Sun Flame Iron Ore as soon as Ling Yun handed it to her. Kou Zhenhan also watched it intently, and they carefully examined it, checking its density, purity, and so on. "Where did you get this iron ore?"

Ling Yun simply smiled in response. "Honestly, I still have many other materials, but I won't show them all to you. If you're willing to join me, I'll provide the materials for you, and you can use them to forge weapons and equipment far superior to anything available here."

"I—"

"Please listen to me first, Senior," Ling Yun interrupted Yuan Shijia. "I may be younger and weaker than you, but you don't know me yet. Once you get to know me and the people by my side, I'm sure you'll change your mind."

Ling Yun's words made Yuan Yueli curious about him. "I've heard your conversation with Old Kou before, but I'm sure you have other motives behind it, including your desire to recruit skilled people like me."

"You're right, I do have other motives." Ling Yun created a qi screen, but he didn't show anything there yet. "I'll show you all something, and only those around me know about this matter for now, but I'm sure you guys will be shocked after finding out."

"Show us."
