Rean then contacted Roan to tell him what he had done.
Roan couldn’t help but ask in response, ‘Didn’t you show a bit too much? Chances are that when those blacksmiths notice they can’t reproduce your work, they will try to force you to reveal it.’
Rean shook his head and said, ‘That would be the case if we didn’t have a background. However, with Elder Etherian on our side, I doubt anyone will try to force anything. At most, they’ll ask him to see if he can get me to reveal my forging method.’
Roan had to admit Rean was right and didn’t ask about it anymore.
After finishing that, Rean decided to enter the Blacksmith Hall’s repository to study. He wanted to see what kind of techniques they had there that he could make use of.
Meanwhile, words about Rean and Roan continued to spread around. In Roan’s case, Orphi did as he promised and passed his words to a few of his country’s disciples. Naturally, they became very interested in Roan’s abilities and wanted to try it out. It’s just that Roan wasn’t available at the moment.
The same thing happened for Rean. Tiao kept his word and told the disciples about Rean and his new forging method that could gather elements without inscriptions. Those disciples then spread the word around the Outer and Inner Sector of the Sacred Land, catching many ears. Well, the majority was skeptical. How come a disciple came up with such a method while the Sacred Land and the Blacksmith Guild hadn’t? Only a handful believed it.
Time passed as the twins kept studying. After all, the Sacred Land had a lot of study materials. In Roan’s case, he didn’t simply want to find a new body cultivation technique for him and Rean. He wanted to first commit all the techniques in the Body repository and then formulate a technique specifically for the twins.
With that being said, Rean was the first to come out after checking the materials in the repository that he really cared about. It’s just that when he came out of the repository, the worker came to deliver him a few messages. “Oh, so you’re finally out of there.” The worker then passed Rean a jade slip, telling him, “It seems like you have quite a few cultivators who would like to try out that new equipment of yours, so I put the forging requests in the jade slip. Take a look and see which job you’ll take.”
Rean was happy to hear that Tiao kept his word. Immediately, he looked into the jade slip to see what those people wanted. However, he was surprised by the small number of requests. “I thought there would be more than just that.”
The worker shrugged his shoulders, saying, “There’s no helping it. From what I know, the only ones who saw your new weapons were the two elders and Francis. Ever since that day, Elder Tiao and Ghihara had practically closed themselves to the outside world, trying to understand how you forged those weapons. No one other than them had access to your work. Naturally, the majority don’t believe it, thinking that it might be some scam or whatever.”
Rean understood after that. “I see…you seem to have a lot of experience with that.”
The worker nodded. “I have been working for the Sacred Land’s Blacksmith Hall during the last 30 years, after all. I’m not a member, but just the huge concentration of Divine Energy in this place makes it very worth it.”
Rean smiled in response. If it was him, he definitely would jump into this opportunity as well. “Very well.” Rean then checked the orders once more before saying, “I’ll take Calamara, Sui, and Polfe’s requests. The requests are a Fire Element Shield, Water Element Katars, and a Lightning Element Saber. Tell Calamara to head to the Blacksmith Hall as I’ll need his Fire Element during the forging process.”
The worker was surprised to hear that. “You need the user’s presence to forge that elemental gathering equipment?”
Rean knew what the guy was thinking. “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to see the forging process itself. I’ll only call them during the very first stages of the process. The real important part will be done by me alone.”
“If you say so…” The worker then turned around while saying, “I’ll call Calamari over. He should be here in an hour at most as long as he’s in the sect. If he left for a mission or something else, I’d tell the next guy on the list to come.”
Rean was satisfied with that. “That’s good enough. Oh, just one more thing. I have the materials to forge the equipment they want. However, if they have specific preferences, ask those guys to bring the material they want to use.”
“Sure thing.”
The guy was fast, and it didn’t take long before Calamara arrived at the Blacksmith Hall. Rean was already in a private workshop, ready to start his work. “So, you’ve come. How will we do this? Your material or mine?”
Calamara was happy that Rean went straight to the point. “Mine! I have here several kilograms of Amakas Vulcan Ore that I’ve been gathering for it. However, before you start, I want to make a guarantee.”
Rean understood what Calamara meant. “You’re afraid that I might be some fraud and will waste your hard-earned ore, right? Very well. If the forging goes wrong, I’ll pay back the ore or give you another material of equivalent level.”
Calamara nodded, satisfied. “Great! So, what do you need from me? Usually, blacksmiths only call their customers when they are finishing up the design of the equipment, not during the forging process.”
Rean shook his head, saying, “For this shield to be perfect, your own Fire Element is necessary. Of course, I’ll also follow the design you asked for in the request.”
Calamara could only go with the flow. “Well, as long as it works just like the rumors say, I don’t mind it at all.”
With that said, the two of them began to work.
