#1713 - We should build friendships!

“What a load of nonsense…”

“Isn't the name of this forging method a bit too long… It feels so strange.”

“Looking at Ji Dongfeng's aggressive demeanor, it doesn't seem fake. Maybe that's just the style of naming things among seniors in ancient times.”

Looking at Ji Dongfeng's smiling face, Han Qiushi and the others frowned, their eyes full of doubt. Their intuition told them that Ji Dongfeng was just spouting nonsense, but the long saber in front of Ji Dongfeng had indeed been upgraded to the divine rank.

Even Han Qiushi wouldn't dare say that he could definitely succeed when forging a divine-rank item.

“Where did you get this forging method from?” Han Qiushi said in a deep voice.

Ji Dongfeng smiled and said while forging, “This is a lost secret technique, not to be revealed to outsiders.”

Du Hengjiang's expression darkened, and he said, “What are you saying! Any forging method is bound to have some connection with our Forging Sect! How can you call us outsiders!”

“Old man, what are you yelling about? I was originally considering discussing it with you, but now it's fine, I won't say anything. Forging Sect members, blame this old man.” Ji Dongfeng said.

Du Hengjiang's expression changed, and he looked around, noticing that many people were looking at him with strange eyes.

“Elder Du, say less.” Qian Hu said.

Du Hengjiang frowned, glanced at Ji Dongfeng, and then reluctantly took two steps back.

“Continue the competition. We'll discuss the forging method after the competition is over.” Han Qiushi said.

“You all observe carefully to see if this kid is spouting nonsense. When I watch him forge, I don't see much energy circulating, nor do I sense the aura of the forging path… In this situation, either Ji Dongfeng is talking nonsense, or the forging method he has mastered is terrifyingly profound.”

Lu Qianqiu's heart stirred, and he said, “If he forges a venerable-grade item, does that mean… he must be the latter…”

Han Qiushi pondered for a moment and said, “If he can really forge a venerable-grade item in such a short period of time, then… the Forging Sect must treat him well. We must get that forging method no matter what…”

“When the time comes, no matter the outcome of this competition, the Black Tortoise Amber must be used on Ji Dongfeng. If we can exchange an amber for this forging method, then our Forging Sect will make a huge profit!”

Hearing this, Lu Qianqiu and the others immediately perked up, even using immortal power and various spells to enhance their attention, observing Ji Dongfeng from all angles, afraid of missing any detail.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and thought to himself, then continued forging, but the movements of wielding the forging hammer became more and more exaggerated. In the end, it was more like dancing while forging.

Seeing this, the Forging Sect members immediately widened their eyes. Some even began to learn Ji Dongfeng's movements, wanting to memorize the poses first.

Two or three minutes later, the entire Forging Sect, led by Ji Dongfeng, began to do calisthenics. Even a few elders followed along.

“What's this move called… Right, fledgling spreading its wings!” Ji Dongfeng smiled and had a great time.

“Boom!”

Just as everyone was doing calisthenics in unison, a muffled sound rang out. Lu Qianqiu and the others turned their heads and saw that the weapon in front of Zhao Guanlan had shattered into two pieces, becoming scrap just one step away from the divine rank.

Seeing this, everyone sighed in their hearts, without saying much, and continued to shift their attention to Ji Dongfeng. In their opinion, it would be a loss to even glance at Zhao Guanlan at this moment.

Zhao Guanlan clenched his fists, looked around, and felt even more desolate in his heart when he realized that no one was paying attention to him.

More than ten breaths later, Zhao Guanlan sighed and silently put away the scrap, then withdrew from the competition venue and flew away into the distance.

“That kid… was still too impatient just now.” Qian Hu said.

“It's good for him to experience a setback.” Han Qiushi said.

“In this way, the outcome of this competition is already decided… The only suspense at the moment is whether Ji Dongfeng can forge a venerable-grade item.” Lu Qianqiu said with excitement.

“Bang!”

The next moment, Ji Dongfeng struck the long saber with a hammer, and the blade of the saber suddenly began to tremble wildly!

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed, and their eyes were fixed on the long saber. They knew in their hearts that this was the key to whether this weapon could evolve into a venerable-grade item!

“Although that long saber was originally only a spirit-grade item, it was made from forging materials from the Third Heaven, making it extremely difficult to forge. This Ji Dongfeng was able to forge it like this just after entering the Third Heaven, he must have a peerless forging method!” Qian Hu said in a deep voice.

“You all memorized the set of movements he just made, right? Although I didn't see through it, I feel that there are some mysteries in it.” Han Qiushi said.

“Unbelievable! This… how is this possible! From beginning to end! Smooth and flowing! Without the slightest pause! He actually upgraded the weapon from spirit-grade to venerable-grade in one breath! What a terrifying forging ability!”

“Look! Ji Dongfeng didn't even sweat! It's obvious that he didn't spend much effort at all! That's a venerable-grade item!”

Listening to the shouts of the surrounding people, Ji Dongfeng smiled and was about to check the attributes of the long saber when Han Qiushi's voice rang out.

“Little friend Ji, I remember that your weapon is a long saber. These are three treasures that can enhance the long saber weapon. Inlay them on this long saber now, and this long saber will be considered a gift from our Forging Sect to you.” Han Qiushi said, a rare smile squeezed onto his face.

As soon as the words fell, Han Qiushi flicked his wrist, and three shimmering treasures appeared in front of Ji Dongfeng.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows and said, “You want to use this to exchange for my forging method?”

“Of course not. I know the value of that forging method. These are just some introductory gifts. The Forging Sect and little friend should establish a friendship.” Han Qiushi smiled.

“Supreme Elder is right. I also have some treasures here, little brother. Take this opportunity to strengthen this long saber again. I hope this long saber forged in the Forging Sect can help you.” Lu Qianqiu smiled and also took out some forging treasures.

Seeing this, the elders next to him took out treasures one after another and put them in front of Ji Dongfeng. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen treasures on Ji Dongfeng's forging platform that could enhance the attributes of the long saber.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng smiled and said, “Okay, okay, since everyone is so generous, then I won't be polite. I announce that in the future, when you owe me favors, I will count a few less, and try not to round up!”
