I turned daily skills into supernatural powers

Chapter 12 Wan Jiange【For further reading】

After Wei Yi came to the Swordsmith Division, he found out that if he wanted to participate in the swordsmith assessment, he needed to pay an application fee of five taels of silver.

But he didn't have that much silver on him.

He had no choice but to go home, took five taels of silver, and returned to the Sword Making Department.

After paying the money and filling in the information, the registration is completed.

"Go back and wait for the notification!" The official with a mole on his chin said in a deep voice.

"My lord, may I ask, how long will it take to notify me to come for the assessment?" Wei Yi asked.

"Two days at the earliest, someone will notify you when the time comes." The official with a mole on his chin said casually.

"Thank you, sir!" Wei Yi cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Seeing Wei Yi's leaving back, the official sneered and shook his head slightly.

"It's true that everyone wants to be a swordsmith, even a frail scholar would sign up, but this word is really beautiful."

The official looked at the registration information filled out by Wei Yi and said to himself.

Immediately turned around and said to the young man who was in a daze beside him.

"Liang Tian, ​​you can go to Wanjiange later and ask shopkeeper Du when he is free to come over to assist the swordsmith's assessment."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away!" The man named Liang Tian came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked out.

Wanjiange in Qingzhou City is located in the most prosperous east center, at the intersection of the main street.

In fact, this is just a branch of Wanjiange, headquartered in the capital.

All major prefectures and cities within the Dayan Dynasty have their branches.

Wanjiange is considered to be a relatively old sword shop in the Yan Dynasty, and the patriarch was once a third-rank swordsmith.

Originally in this Qingzhou city, Wanjiange could be said to be the only family.

However, just half a year ago, the newly-emerged Jianfeng Building also moved into Qingzhou City.

The shop is located diagonally across the street.

The background of this Jianfeng Building is not simple, otherwise it would not be possible to open a sword shop in Qingzhou City.

With Jianfeng Building, Wanjiange's business will naturally be greatly affected.

However, what Du Yujiang, the shopkeeper of Wanjianlou, didn't expect.

Just today, two of the three ninth-rank swordsmiths they cooperated with were directly poached by others.

boom--

Du Yujiang had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only slap his palm on the table and get up angrily.

"This Jianfeng building is really deceiving!"

Du Yujiang paced back and forth angrily, his broad palms creaking.

He is not only the shopkeeper here, but also a seventh-rank swordsmith.

You know, in the entire Qingzhou city, there are only five ninth-rank swordsmiths.

Even if there are ninth-rank swordsmiths in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, there are no more than ten people in total.

And there are even fewer seventh-rank swordsmiths.

Counting him and the owner of Tianquan Villa, there are only two people.

As for the fifth-rank swordsmith, there was no such thing here.

In the past, when there were people in the city who wanted to buy five-jeweled swords, they all ordered them from the capital headquarters.

After all, even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, the number of fifth-rank swordsmiths could be counted with two hands.

And now the shopkeeper of Jianfeng Building in Qingzhou City is one of them.

"The shopkeeper of Jianfeng Building promised to take those two as apprentices, so..." Zhang Xingye said with his head down, his face very serious.

"Hmph, it's no wonder that old guy is really willing to teach them, but he just deceived those two people!" Du Yujiang said coldly.

He knew very well that in this line of work, the disciples of the church would starve to death the master.

Otherwise, he couldn't have been stuck as a seventh-rank swordsmith for so many years.

Generally, those who are not close relatives of one's own blood, or true closed disciples, will never teach them all.

Although he said so, he had to admit in his heart that the opponent's move was really cruel.

Let him have no countermeasures at all.

As a swordsmith, he can understand it himself.

Everyone wants to go further.

Now there is a fifth-rank swordsmith who is willing to accept them as apprentices, and he will benefit a lot from his advice.

Naturally, he joined the camp without hesitation.

In fact, Wanjiange also has a cooperative fifth-rank swordsmith.

But it is impossible to follow the example of Jianfeng Building.

Not to mention whether the fifth-rank swordsmith is willing to come to Qingzhou City.

It may be difficult to simply let others accept apprentices.

So this time I really have to suffer from being dumb.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good!"

At this moment, Wang Shouyin also walked in quickly, and said with an ugly face: "Zhang Hu also canceled the cooperation with us!"

Hearing these words, Du Yujiang felt his blood surge and his head was buzzing. He couldn't help closing his eyes and raising his head, pinching his temples with his hands.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Now it's all right, the three nine-rank swordsmiths who cooperated have all been poached away.

You must know that the ninth-rank swordsmiths are actually the main strength of their sword shop.

Because in addition to ordinary swords, a jewelry sword has the largest audience and the most sales.

It is also the most profitable category.

Although he can also create a jeweled sword himself.

But it's really shameful for a dignified seventh-rank swordsmith to forge a jeweled sword.

Most importantly, if this matter gets out, it will deal a big blow to their Wanjianlou's reputation.

He, Du Yujiang, might become the laughing stock of the industry too.

At this moment, another servant walked in from the door, bowed and said: "The shopkeeper, an official from the Sword Casting Division, I have something to ask you for!"

Hearing the servant's words, Du Yujiang opened his eyes, calmed down a little, and breathed gently.

Temporarily screened Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin away, and immediately said to the boy: "Please come soon!"

Not long after, Liang Tian walked in, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Du, I wonder if I have time in the near future to help invigilate the examination of the Ninth Rank Swordsmith!"

"Is the Ninth Grade Swordsmith Examination a blacksmith in our Qingzhou City?" Du Yujiang asked with a little surprise.

This is good news for him.

If the other party can pass the assessment, isn't it just right for him to take him under his command?

Compared with those old swordsmiths, this newly assessed swordsmith is naturally easier to win over.

And as the invigilator himself, he also has the advantage of being close to the water.

At that time, follow the example of Qiu Xuanji who was in the Jianfeng Building, and take the other party as his apprentice by the way to win people's hearts.

"That's right, it's our blacksmith from Qingzhou City." Liang Tian said.

"I don't know who it is, can I tell you?" Du Yujiang asked again.

"This is not very convenient!"

"Okay, no problem, I have time recently, and I can listen to your company's arrangements at any time!"

"Well, good!" Liang Tian cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Du Yujiang sat on the chair and thought for a long time.

He basically knew some powerful blacksmiths in Qingzhou City, and even many of them cooperated with them.

The most promising person to become a ninth-rank swordsmith is Wei Tieshan.

But this person has already been imprisoned, so I don't know who is going to participate in the assessment this time.

"I hope this person really has the level of a ninth-rank swordsmith!" Du Yujiang said heartily.

He was very worried that the other party had not reached the level of a ninth-rank swordsmith, so he came to participate in the assessment to try his luck.

After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

Du Yujiang stood up, walked to the window, and his eyes fell on the signboard of Jianfeng Building diagonally opposite.

"Du has been in Qingzhou City for so many years, spent so much money, and raised so many people. If he loses to you, it will be ridiculous!" Du Yujiang said very dissatisfied.

However, at this moment, Wei Yi was also on the street downstairs.

He looked at Wanjiange Pavilion, and then at Jianfeng Tower.

Perhaps the largest and most famous sword shop in these two cities will be the owner of their cooperation in the future.

Wei Yi knew very well that after he became a swordsmith, he could sell swords.

But personal power is limited after all, and newcomers need to be well-known.

Cooperating with such a well-known sword shop is the easiest way to make money and the fastest way to gain fame.

After all, they already have brand effect, reputation and reputation, and many customers.

Right now, I am also in urgent need of money, and it is the most convenient thing to cooperate with one of them.
