I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Our manor is clearly the leader of the [Ark Series] team, yet Ning Zheng feels very uninvolved, and those blacksmiths feel the same.

"The planning is really bad, praising it just makes it worse."

"This subtle sense of involvement now, it's like a goddess booking a room and asking me to help buy the condoms—such a vague sense of involvement."

"What a great analogy."

"Not being able to join, isn't it because you're too terrible, and can't improve your technology?"

...

Countless people are complaining.

Although they proudly analyzed the true situation of the Capital City, stabilizing the team's morale.

But when it comes to serious forging technology, they still feel a genuine lack of involvement, with a sense of slacking off.

Even though goofing off brings joy.

But that's limited to working or studying.

When playing games, everyone hopes to be the main damage dealer, delivering over 40% of the team's output and achieving five kills.

They're not like the neighboring casual party Hairpin Lady, who slacks off while playing games.

The macho blacksmiths, every day with their passionate heart filled with crazy brick-moving energy, cannot use it in this forging, feeling there's strength they can't exert.

Of course.

In the eyes of other team members, it's not seen that way.

Especially Doukou Hong, seeing them with such advanced Soul Fusion technology, splitting from the same soul to synthesize...

It's simply too strong!

Nowadays, they casually grow Spiritual Roots' Artifact Spirits and showcase them.

That's the revelation of accumulated heritage, a demonstration of firepower!

Behind the scenes, who knows how much cost and resources are spent to cultivate a lifelike Artifact Spirit.

Therefore, Doukou Hong is more serious than anyone about saving every Artifact Spirit hollow bubble.

Using as few test subjects as possible to produce the finished product.

Meanwhile, Doukou Hong also discovered:

"Why does the Xirong Divine Craftsman not feel like a Divine Craftsman... no involvement in forging, just research on Artifact Spirit forging?"

Even with the help of Xinyi Baisan and others in concealing it, some abnormalities were still found.

No sight of the Divine Craftsman's technology...

It's all about the Divine Doctor.

Although it can be understood that their forging technology is also very powerful, just left to Xinyi Baisan... focusing on Artifact Spirit forging themselves.

But Doukou Hong's intuition still feels there are issues.

This point, even the Divine Array Master Lan Zhou noticed some clues.

But everyone is smart, tacitly understands and doesn't ask, just silently keeps it in mind.

Suspecting there might be some exaggeration.

Of course, their suspicion quickly vanished with the subsequent events.

Jiucai Rong: "Previously forging Sun Moon, many Divine Craftsmen assisted, so we didn't need to participate in the forging."

"But now, it's just Xinyi Baisan who might not be enough, especially since this time it's mass production, and the workload is massive."

"So, our manor's several Divine Craftsmen, along with dozens of High Tier Blacksmiths, applied to assist in the forging."

Our desired involvement has arrived.

Although this involvement is still extremely subtle, participating through the Yin Yang Forging Furnace.

But it's better than not participating.

Doukou Hong was startled: "Joining the forging, won't this be too troublesome?"

"No."

Jiucai Rong said: "We can cooperate in segments; we'll be responsible for smelting, fusing semi-finished products to form coarse ingots, then handing it over to Lan Zhou to replicate Array Patterns, and Xinyi Baisan for final product forging."

Doukou Hong's heart trembled.

The hardest, most physically demanding process for a Divine Weapon is the fusion of various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures...

You never know how difficult it is to melt and forge these High Tier materials.

Properties, melting point, heat control, technique.

Every Heavenly and Earthly Treasure is different.

A slight mistake, uneven material smelting, mana disconnection, will result in material waste.

This is also rated as a Divine Craftsman's threshold.

If you perfectly fuse various High Tier materials, then you possess the basic entry-level abilities of a Divine Craftsman.

Doukou Hong couldn't guess it was the Yin Yang Forging Furnace.

Because the Immortal Spirit Root's function is very powerful, mysterious... she just identified a general direction without knowing the specific abilities.

Without testing it on hand, she didn't know it could synthesize ores.

"Rest assured, leave it to us, we're part of the team too." Jiucai Rong chuckled.

Xinyi Baisan was surprised upon hearing:

Really?

Are they really Divine Craftsmen?

But it didn't take long before they were stupefied by the situation.

...

Early the next morning.

Sword Casting Manor, Yin Yang Forging Furnace.

The little blacksmiths who had just gotten out of bed were yawning, gradually arriving at the square.

"It's here, the machine team; now let's see if the manual team's efficiency can compete."

"Hurry and synthesize!"

"Finally, there's involvement."

Each Copper Ingot continuously being synthesized, with a day quickly passing by.

...

In a mansion in the Capital City.

Xinyi Baisan, Doukou Hong, Lan Zhou, and others sent various forging materials according to the proportions they provided, to become a perfectly fused coarse Magic Artifact Ingot.

Lan Zhou was someone skilled at praising others, and with just one glance, he applauded:

"This is truly impressive, such efficiency! Without a profoundly rooted forging family, without four or five Divine Craftsmen leading the team to craft this, producing it within 24 hours would be impossible."

"It's not just impressive; it's impressive beyond the heavens, impressive to the point of making a name in the nursery."

Doukou Hong smiled bitterly, a hint of shock in her eyes.

She was a Spirit Farmer, and even though she didn't understand much about the forging domain, she knew that such a standard was the ultimate test of fundamental skills.

This was impossible to fake.

With this batch of materials out, this was ironclad evidence!

Having misunderstood them before, Doukou Hong felt deeply ashamed.

Doukou Hong said, "The two hardest steps have been completed by the other party for us... especially now, with the coarse ingots refined to the proportion we requested, our casting will be very fast; we might be able to start selling the first batch in a few days if we hurry."

"This technology is truly astonishing! So solid, what do you think?"

Both of them looked at Xinyi Baisan.

Xinyi Baisan was the top forger of the contemporary Xinyi Continent.

Even across the entire Nine-State, he was among the elite, a peerless grandmaster pioneering an era.

Xinyi Baisan's expression slightly changed, seemingly discovering something, but ultimately he composed himself and sighed, "Indeed impressive, very solid fundamental skills."

With Xinyi Baisan's words as the coup de grâce.

This Divine Craftsman was confirmed!

Moreover, it wasn't just one or two but many skilled with high-level heritage...this was a lineage with deep foundations.

Doukou Hong and Lan Zhou, each secretly communicated with their families, evaluating and raising their attention to a higher level.

The Xirong Divine Craftsman lineage was not to be underestimated.

Only Xinyi Baisan thought to himself, "Ordinary people can't see the flaw, but I can... the flaw is that it's too perfect."

Forging depends on the feel.

As long as there are humans involved, there will always be slight differences each time, which is called the margin of error.

But look at this?

Every Fusion Coarse Ingot was exactly the same. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel_fіre.net

This simply doesn't look like something humanly crafted.

The other two weren't Divine Craftsmen, their domains were different, making it hard to detect anything, but Xinyi Baisan could see it at a glance:

"Those in the medical field have recently been forging Immortal Artifacts, who knows what remarkable thing they've concocted."

"A group of physicians pretending to be Divine Craftsmen, what's with their obsession with posing as blacksmiths, do they have some major illness?"

Xinyi Baisan felt a sharp pain in his tooth.

As if seeing across the air another group of Sword Fairies, with an air of trying to change the world through medicine; maybe those studying medicine have a screw loose.

The Sword Fairies who studied medicine clearly hailed from that Divine Doctor family; researching soul side effects got to their heads.

He felt it was a tough situation.

We are in the noble crafting industry of Divine Craftsmen, this is an insult!

But since he'd already concealed it for them, he had no choice but to help through thick and thin, without revealing the truth.

Now they had even created such a thing, at least they were closer to successfully impersonating.

"Their Immortal Artifact..."

Xinyi Baisan frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, feeling inexplicably sour inside:

"A group of medical practitioners producing these soulless assembly line casting blanks; I'm not jealous."

...

Doukou Continent.

Doukou Continent City.

The news reached here just as the Doukou family had finished clearing out a batch of idle think-tankers.

A new era is about to dawn; it was time for them to clean house again. Upon checking, they realized that these past hundreds of thousands of years of comfort had gradually bred much filth and ugliness.

The temporary think-tank was now taken over by the family's upper echelon.

"In just one day, they could forge over thirty Divine Artifact Coarse Embryos..." The crowd looked at their family's sole Divine Craftsman, "What level is this? Isn't it quite astounding?"

"More than astounding, it's astounding beyond the heavens." The elder chuckled wryly, eyes filled with awe and reverence.

"One hundred and seventy thousand years ago, there was a Divine Craftsman named Man Tianxing who followed the Saint to establish a nation. His forging technology supported the logistics of the entire Saint Army, and this unparalleled figure established the Starry Continent after founding the nation, becoming the Continent King."

Everyone knew.

If you said Doukou Continent was distributed to the meritorious Spirit Farmer families of the day,

then the Starry Continent was distributed to meritorious blacksmiths.

The nine-state world, with nine Continent Kings, created new surnames based on their names.

For instance, in Doukou family, that Continent King had the surname Dou, given name Kou, researched a family spiritual root and named it "Doukou," and the family changed from a single surname to a compound one, called Doukou.

Man Tianxing was the same.

Man Tianxing was originally the name of a founding hero and later became the name of the continent, the spiritual root, and the family, to commemorate their great achievements in founding the nation.

"Man Tianxing, this lord, swept the forging circles across the Nine-State, famous for super-speed forging, wielding the hammer and striking Man Tianxing flowers, one person enough to support an army, with past records of similar Divine Artifact Coarse Embryo forging."

"Leading the team, forging more than thirty coarse embryos in a day, shocking the entire forging circle."

The more the Doukou family's Divine Craftsman spoke, the more respectful his demeanor became.

Listening, everyone was left with an air of suspicion.

In other words, the Xirong Divine Craftsmen concealed their true abilities well; their forging speed wasn't inferior to that of this legendary founding figure.

"Is there a possibility that they have several Divine Craftsmen?" A Shennong spoke calmly.

"In old times, Man Tianxing's forging team also had collaborating Divine Craftsmen." The Doukou Divine Craftsman shook his head, "By normal standards, without powerful technology and purely relying on manpower, you'd need at least a dozen average Divine Craftsmen like me to forge that much."

Their expressions remained unchanged, but inwardly they had formed a plan.

Regardless of the possibilities, behind this were extremely frightening and deeply historical lineages.

Numerous Divine Craftsmen supported with research into the 'Fusion Divine Weapon' system, deeply hidden, never revealed in the Nine-State before now.

"No matter what, beyond the Eternal Divine Soldier, their solid foundation is evident, extremely strong, no wonder they could research such era-changing divine weapons!" The Divine Craftsman pronounced each word heavily.

In truth,

Xinyi Baisan, being the insider aiding Xirong's concealment, led to such a misjudgment.

But Xinyi Baisan had no choice; having fallen into the trap from the start, misjudged as Divine Craftsmen, he helped along the way until it became indiscernible, frantically covering up.

Xinyi Baisan felt troubled in heart, growing increasingly regretful of his initial mistake.
