1520 Advancing Grades

After the auction ended, Tian Qiyuan had a quick meeting with the ancestor of the Holy Sword Monastery, a powerhouse that rivals the Unrivaled Nine Sword Sect and may even surpa.s.s it slightly.

The ancestor was a handsome young man with cultivation at the 8th level of the G.o.d Ascension Realm. Despite his young appearance, his eyes were filled with ancient wisdom acquired over hundreds of thousands of years.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Exalted Blacksmith. I am the ancestor of the Holy Sword Monastery, Sheng Qiu. We may have never met before, but you've crafted a sword for one of my disciples. When I saw his sword, I knew that I had to get one for myself sooner or later."

"I am honored to have someone as revered as you to take interest in my humble creations. Are you going to request a commission from me?" Tian Qiyuan asked.

"Yes, but not right now. Can I save this commission for the future when you can give birth to Celestial-grade treasures?"

"Of course, but it might take some time before I reach that level."

"Hahaha! By your words, you are essentially claiming to become the next G.o.d of Creation! Not even the Heaven and Earth Blacksmith or the Eternal Blacksmith would so boldly proclaim they possess what it takes to become the next G.o.d of Creation!" Sheng Qiu laughed heartily at his audacious claim.

He continued, "You act humble in public, but you're actually an egotistical b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I like you!"

Naturally, Tian Qiyuan did not find any offense in his words despite being called an egotistical b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

"If anyone can become the next G.o.d of Creation, it's you, Exalted Blacksmith. I eagerly look forward to the day your creations reach that level."

Sheng Qiu ended their conversation there and left the next moment.

"If you ever need to sell anything, our Mystic Jade Auction Pavilion would be honored to serve you again, esteemed Exalted Blacksmith." Qing Ling'er bowed to him on his way out.

Tian Qiyuan made his way back to his world. However, someone had arrived before him.

"You're here already?" Tian Qiyuan smiled at Zi Xuan's presence.

"You can craft Empyrean-grade treasures now, right? I also have the last material, so I'm here for my own Empyrean-

grade sword. It's a pity that I couldn't win that auction, but there's nothing I can do about it. There are many who are much wealthier than me." Zi Xuan sighed.

"Let's go inside first."

Tian Qiyuan opened the entrance to his world and entered it, with Zi Xuan following behind.

Once inside, Zi Xuan asked, "Have you thought about what kind of sword you'll make me next?"

"Of course. I had plenty of time to do so. However, do you really want a new sword? I can upgrade the last sword to Empyrean-grade, too. It'll retain the same appearance and have enhanced abilities."

"Really? You can do that?" Zi Xuan wore a surprised expression on her face.

In their world, upgrading weapons was a common practice, but advancing weapon grades was a more challenging task. The process required a high level of skill and craftsmans.h.i.+p, as well as a deep understanding of the materials and techniques involved. Only the most experienced and skilled blacksmiths could successfully advance a weapon's grade without significantly altering its original appearance and abilities.

As the grade of a weapon increased, the process of advancing it to the next level became progressively more challenging. In fact, only the Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, one of the top blacksmiths in the world, has managed to advance a Divine-

grade treasure to Ancient-grade before. Advancing Mystic-

grade to Empyrean-grade was literally unheard of and deemed impossible by even Divine Blacksmiths. Yet, Tian Qiyuan claimed that he had the ability without any hesitation in his voice.

Seeing the doubt and hesitation on Zi Xuan's face, Tian Qiyuan spoke, "If I mess it up, I'll make you the exact same sword free of charge, as well as the Empyrean-grade sword."

"Deal!" All of Zi Xuan's hesitation was tossed out of the window after getting insurance for her sword.

"What materials do you need from me?" she asked as they approached his living quarters.

He pointed at the Golden Valley and said, "I already have them."

"Huh? But those are your materials."

"I know. Consider it part of the deal. You're giving me five materials, after all. Also, it's easier to upgrade a sword than to create a new one."

"It's easier to advance a sword than create one…? If other blacksmiths could hear your voice right now, they would be coming at you with their hammers raised, you know." Zi Xuan almost couldn't believe what she'd just heard.

Tian Qiyuan silently smiled at her words.

Once they arrived at the anvil, he extended his hand and said, "Let me borrow your sword."

"Alright."

Zi Xuan handed him the Heaven's Intoxication.

"It'll be done in a few hours. Feng Feng!"

When Feng Tianru emerged from the volcano, Zi Xuan hastily left the island, fearing that Feng Tianru would engulf her in flames.

Sure enough, Feng Tianru started spewing flames long before she even reached the island.

'That f.u.c.king phoenix really wanted to burn me!' Zi Xuan cursed inwardly after seeing this.

However, Feng Tianru didn't even spare her a gaze and focused on working with Tian Qiyuan.

A few hours later, Tian Qiyuan revealed the new and improved Heaven's Intoxication with barely any changes to its appearance at a glance.

"Heavens… You really advanced it from Mystic-grade to Empyrean-grade…" Zi Xuan was bewildered by the results.

If the world were to find out Tian Qiyuan could advance weapon grades like this, his fame and reputation would pierce the heavens.

"Satisfied?" he asked her.

"Yes!"

Zi Xuan wielded the sword in her grasp. While it felt the same as before, she sensed a much more profound energy coursing through it, allowing her to channel her own energy with far greater ease.

"Thank you for the business again." Tian Qiyuan smiled.
