Some said that he was worried that he would be remembered after going out.

Others thought that the young man was just a buyer, hence he was about to go back to give his report.

However, the interlude caused by Wu Mo ended very quickly.

During this time, Elder Yao Shan only glanced at the exit and did not say anything.

The auction for the Legendary weapon was still going on, and the price had already risen to ¥18,000,000.

Meanwhile, Wu Mo left Treasure Trove Pavilion under the watchful eyes of several receptionists.

There were a few rental cars parked at the corner of the road outside the main entrance. Wu Mo quickly walked up to them and headed straight for the Blacksmith Guild.

Wu Mo had seen some new things in this auction and gained a general understanding of the forces in the capital.

It was just that spending more than ¥10,000,000 pained him a little.

He planned to study the Amethyst Boots once he returned to see which parts were damaged.

As for the Blacksmith Guild that he was visiting, it was also a government organization.

Its purpose was to register the information of all the blacksmiths in Nine Provinces.

This was to ensure the completeness of the forging system while making it easier to manage.

Furthermore, the Blacksmith Guild would contact every blacksmith on a regular basis to update their information and distribute their benefits.

If you would like to contact a blacksmith you have only met a few times, the guild would be the best source of help.

About ten minutes later, his taxi stopped at the side of the road.

Before Wu Mo got out of the car, he saw a slightly old building in the middle of the street.

The outer walls of the building were dark brown in color, and its architectural style was very different from the surrounding steel jungle.

The building only had three floors, but it covered a vast area.

There were people coming and going through the gates, giving it an extremely lively look.

There were also a few red words written in the ancient style on the top floor of the building.

“The Blacksmith Guild.”

Wu Mo paid the driver, got out of the taxi, and immediately went up to the guild.

After presenting the relevant doc.u.ments, he entered the guild hall easily.

The guild hall was s.p.a.cious, as well as bright, and many men and women in blacksmith clothes could be seen walking around.

Their skills were mostly around the level of three to four stars. Occasionally, one could see an older blacksmith who had reached the five-star realm.

Seeing the young man in plain clothes walk into the hall, a staff member swiftly approached him and gently asked, “h.e.l.lo, Sir, how can I help you?”

“I would like to get a blacksmith star rating.”

Wu Mo stopped in his tracks and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

After the girl in the overalls heard Wu Mo’s words, she immediately looked at him with a serious expression.

“Alright, come with me.”

The girl bowed slightly and immediately led the way after she invited him in.

Wu Mo followed the staff member from behind and looked around at this guild in Jingdu.

After pa.s.sing through the guild hall, the two of them soon entered a long corridor. There were chirping birds, fragrant flowers, a good view, and various office buildings, as well as some extremely modern equipment on either side of the corridor.

Of course, many of the people who pa.s.sed by cast curious looks at Wu Mo too.

After a short while, Wu Mo was brought to the relevant area within the guild.

The guild’s inner court had a beautiful environment and covered a large area. Wu Mo was now standing outside the a.s.sessment building.

He watched as the lady in work clothes conversed with the inspectors outside the a.s.sessment building.

A few minutes later, Wu Mo was allowed to enter the a.s.sessment area for the test.

“Little brother, you’re quite lucky. Our guild master is already inside making preparations for the a.s.sessment. Otherwise, you would’ve had to wait for at least a few more hours. Hurry on inside.”

The one who spoke was a young examiner in his 30s. He looked at Wu Mo as if he was a junior.

Wu Mo nodded and thanked him before he pushed the door open and quickly went inside.

“Alright, I won’t trouble you and interrupt your work any further.”

The receptionist at the front waved goodbye to the examiner and left.

On the other side, Wu Mo entered the inspection area.

It was a five-story building, and each floor was about a thousand meters wide.

The place that tested a blacksmith’s strength was the hall on the first floor of the a.s.sessment building.

A majority of the area in the hall was used for the test. Aside from the podium, the other places were surrounded by curtains to ensure that there was no cheating during the test.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen young people standing in the test area, and they were talking to each other about the test that was about to begin.

There were two invigilators sitting next to the podium. Once the test began, they would check everything from the blacksmiths’ sewing and cutting techniques to steel forging and fire control techniques, as well as the quality of their prototypes.

“Hey, why aren’t the two elders here yet? It’s almost 12 o’clock.”

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m a little hungry,” agolden-haired youth in a light blue smithing suit chimed in.

Most of them were about the same age, with only a one or two-year gap.

Just like Wu Mo, they looked to be in their 20s.

“Hey, look, there’s someone else taking the test today.”

While the dozen or so people were talking, one of them suddenly glanced at the door. He had originally wanted to see if the elders had arrived, but he discovered that a new blacksmith had come in to prepare for the test.

Although this new blacksmith was not wearing blacksmith clothes, the fact that he was qualified to enter showed that he had a certificate and was recognized as a blacksmith in the Nine Provinces. His strength should be above two stars as well.

“Yeah, didn’t the elders say that we could start the test once we have ten people? Why are there so many people this time?”

“I’m not sure. It’s almost 12 o’clock now. The judging elders should be here by now,” a slightly chubby young man with a flat nose said.

Wu Mo made his way to the test area and deliberately kept a certain distance from the dozen people. He looked at the decor around him.

The books on the bookshelves, a hat on the bar counter, and the tree branches shaking outside the window were all his objects of observation.

A few minutes later, it was 12 o’clock.

Right then, someone finally pushed the still door after a long time, and two older middle-aged men entered in a hurry.

“Lian Chun, it’s all your fault for insisting on drinking two gla.s.ses. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been late!”

The first man who came in looked to be about 50 years old. He was wearing a dark blue scholar’s suit. His hair was a little gray, but he had a tall figure.

He also had sharp eyes, and his movements were quite natural as he walked through the door. However, when he saw the students waiting, his muscles immediately tensed up, and he spoke to the man behind him in a helpless tone.

The man he called Lian Chun looked older. The latter had clear wrinkles on his face and some black moles scattered around, giving him a more aged appearance.
