#1709 - It’s a deal!

"Zhao Shixiong" refers to Senior Brother Zhao Guanlan. He is a disciple of the Great Elder and has received guidance from the Supreme Elder. He is the strongest fighter in the Forging Hall. Besides that, his forging skills are comparable to those of the elders of the Forging Sect. He is known as the hope of the entire Forging Sect," Lin Yunsheng introduced.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Another genius."

"Of course! Senior Brother Zhao is a true genius! He is the hope of our Forging Sect! Therefore, the Xuan Turtle Amber should be used on Senior Brother Zhao no matter what!" Wu Chong said with a face full of pride.

Ji Dongfeng was about to speak when he heard a gust of wind in his ear.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "But you're very unhappy right now."

"I'm not."

"You are. You're about to curse your mother in your heart. Wu Chong, your Senior Brother Zhao is cursing you as a lackey."

Wu Chong's expression changed upon hearing this, while Zhao Guanlan next to him frowned slightly.

"Ji Dongfeng, don't try to sow discord between us senior and junior brothers."

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "With the plastic relationship between you senior and junior brothers, do you still need me to sow discord? Wu Chong, you think Zhao Guanlan is too pretentious. Zhao Guanlan, you think Wu Chong is a waste. Although what you're thinking is the truth..."

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and Zhao Guanlan and Wu Chong looked at each other.

"Senior Brother Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense!" Wu Chong shouted anxiously.

"Junior Brother Wu, I naturally know that you wouldn't have such thoughts. I have never thought that you are a waste," Zhao Guanlan said with a smile.

"Senior Brother!"

"Junior Brother!"

"Hypocritical!" Ji Dongfeng said.

Zhao Guanlan's expression sank upon hearing this, and he said, "Ji Dongfeng, you are not a member of the Forging Sect after all, so please don't stir up trouble here. We only discuss forging here, nothing else."

"That's right! Don't bring your bad habits to the Forging Sect. You don't understand forging either, so just stay quiet. Senior Brother Zhao, I happen to have some forging questions that I want to ask you," Wu Chong said quickly, eager to change the subject.

Ji Dongfeng curled his lips upon hearing this and said, "What's the use of asking him? Ask me! I guarantee I can teach you everything!"

Wu Chong was stunned upon hearing this, then said in a deep voice, "You understand forging?!"

"What a joke! Have you heard of my reputation as the number one all-rounder in the Nine Heavens? Ask whatever questions you have!" Ji Dongfeng said with a chuckle.

Wu Chong sneered upon hearing this and said, "Alright, then I'll ask you, when extremely cold and extremely hot materials collide, how can a perfect balance be maintained?!"

"Hey, just put them together and smash them! That's how I forge anyway," Ji Dongfeng said.

"You... I'll ask you again! When millennium Black Iron encounters extremely Yin water, how can the extremely Yin energy be completely absorbed?!"

"Hey, just put them together and smash them! That's how I forge anyway."

"...You're clearly just being unreasonable! Just based on your attitude towards forging! The Xuan Turtle Amber shouldn't be used on you!" Wu Chong said through gritted teeth.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I summarized all of this from practice."

Zhao Guanlan's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he said, "Oh? So, you are very good at forging?"

"I know you want to compete with me, then find an opportunity to persuade Sect Master Lu to use the Xuan Turtle Amber on you. You can just say it directly," Ji Dongfeng said with a smile.

Zhao Guanlan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at Ji Dongfeng deeply, saying, "Interesting. Then are you willing to compete with me? We won't compare anything else, just forging. If I win, you will tell the Sect Master to voluntarily give up the Xuan Turtle Amber."

"What if I win?"

"Heh, if you win, I'll acknowledge you as my big brother! I'll give you all the treasures on my body!"

Ji Dongfeng smiled upon hearing this and said, "You're quite confident, but I don't need a little brother like you. You're not qualified enough. How about this, competing with you alone is meaningless. Call out everyone in your Forging Hall. I'll take on all of you alone, only in forging, nothing else!"

Zhao Guanlan's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and he said, "You're really crazy..."

"Good! Ji Dongfeng! It's settled then! Guanlan! Go call everyone in the Forging Hall over!"

The next moment, an old man's voice rang out.

Ji Dongfeng looked over upon hearing the voice, discovering that Lu Qianqiu had arrived with a group of Forging Sect elders. Among them, an unfathomable old man stood beside Lu Qianqiu, who was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Forging Sect, Han Qiushi.

"Yes!" Zhao Guanlan replied quickly upon hearing this, then disappeared from the spot.

"Ahem, little brother, this is the Supreme Elder of our Forging Sect, and next to him is the Great Elder, Qian Hu. He was the one who invited the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion. As for the reason, I think you know it now," Lu Qianqiu said.

Qian Hu's expression changed upon hearing this, and he looked at Lu Qianqiu with a helpless expression, saying, "Sect Master, please don't hold a grudge. I just said that although you found the Xuan Turtle Amber, this kind of treasure, even if it's placed in the Forging Sect's treasure vault, is still a top-notch item and cannot be decided by you alone."

Hearing the words "treasure vault," Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great Elder is too modest. Don't be so self-deprecating. How about this, let me go into the treasure vault and take a look, help you judge. I believe you still have quite a few good things."

Han Qiushi said expressionlessly upon hearing this, "Ji Dongfeng, I know you are crazy, but I didn't expect you to be this crazy. People like you who underestimate the art of forging deserve to be taught a lesson. In the upcoming competition, if you win, I will let you enter the Forging Sect's treasure vault, and I will no longer interfere with the Xuan Turtle Amber. But if you lose, not only will you have to give up the Xuan Turtle Amber, but you will also suffer the Heavenly Hammer Punishment of my Forging Sect!"

Lu Qianqiu's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said quickly, "Supreme Elder, that punishment is too severe. At worst, he will be seriously injured, and at worst, his soul will be scattered. I..."

"It's a deal! Whoever goes back on their word is a grandson!" Ji Dongfeng suddenly clapped his hands and shouted.
