Become a god from scratch

Chapter 160: Weaponsmith Tieshan, Lin Xuan becomes his apprentice?

"Iron Mountain?"

Pei Ge and Lin Xuan's first reaction to this distinctive name was that it fits the person's name.

Because to the Earth Origin Alien people, this giant dwarf Iron Mountain is indeed like a human-shaped hill.

Although Pei Ge was wary of the opponent's strength, he was not too worried. After all, they were all inside the earth dragon at this time.

In the old land, there are indeed many beings that are not afraid of the Earth Dragon Station.

But unless it is absolutely necessary, no one would make enemies for no reason, especially when this enemy is spread across most of the areas of the old land.

Although the Dilong Station is a neutral organization and is not affiliated with any force, it is precisely because of this that they can join forces with anyone when necessary.

There once was a monarch who belonged to a certain royal court and was a top-level warrior of the eighth heaven. He relied on his own strength and had the support of the Domain King behind him.

He completely ignored the Earth Dragon Saint Lord and didn't give the other party any face. He directly sent his men to forcibly attack and kill the target inside the body of an earth dragon.

The unfortunate earth dragon that died tragically was a cross-domain earth dragon from the Earth Dragon Station. It had the life level of a top-level superior commander and was considered a young hero in the Earth Dragon Clan.

As soon as this incident happened, the top management of the Dilong Station was collectively furious and immediately went to the Dilong Saint Lord to make the decision.

The Earth Dragon Saint Lord naturally cannot turn a blind eye to it, otherwise wouldn't everyone follow suit in the future?
However, because the monarch Ba Chongtian was a big shot in the royal court and did not do it himself, the Earth Dragon Saint Lord did not do anything too drastic. He just asked someone to ask the monarch Ba Chongtian to hand over all the people who took action that day.

As long as those people are executed, the matter will be over.

As a result, the monarch, Yachongtian, simply chose to read the message but not reply.

The Earth Dragon Saint Lord did not explode at that time, nor did he issue any further warnings, as if the matter had been left unresolved.

However, not long after, a political enemy who had been defeated by the Monarch of the Eighth Heaven broke through from the Monarch of the Seventh Heaven to the Monarch of the Eighth Heaven, and quickly gathered an extremely powerful force as if with the help of God.

Not only that, the other party seemed to have countless pairs of eyes and could see through all his actions.

It wasn't long before he was pushed into a desperate situation.

It was not until he angrily overturned the table and defected that his political enemy appeared in front of him with the Earth Dragon Saint Lord, and he finally understood the truth.

It turns out that behind all this, the Earth Dragon Saint Lord was secretly taking revenge on him.

The reason why his political enemy was able to make a comeback, break through to the eighth level of the monarch, and was assisted by God everywhere was also because of the Holy Lord of the Earth Dragon.

With the Dilong Station as his spy, doesn’t his political enemy have countless pairs of eyes?
A dignified monarch of the eighth heaven was forced into a dead end step by step.

As for the domain king of that royal court, he didn't care much about it at all. After all, the actions of the Earth Dragon Saint Lord did not touch the reverse scale of that domain king.

If the Earth Dragon Saint Lord colluded with the other royal court and then killed the monarch of the Eighth Heaven, the domain king behind him might punish him.

But the Holy Lord of Earth Dragon only found an ally within that royal court. Although he killed the monarch, Eighth Heaven, in the end, he also used his own resources to train a new monarch, Eighth Heaven, for that royal court.

Moreover, the new monarch, Ba Chongtian, also gained the friendship of the Earth Dragon Station. This was definitely a sure-win deal for the royal court.

Especially at the end, the Earth Dragon Saint Lord forced the monarch of the Eighth Heaven to overturn the table and defect before taking action against him, which was already giving him enough face.

In this case, there is naturally no need for the Domain King to intervene.

Of course, there are also rumors that the Earth Dragon Saint Lord once presented a treasure to the Domain King for this matter, which allowed the Domain King to calm down his final dissatisfaction.

But no matter what, this incident has sounded a wake-up call to many people, making them realize that offending the Dilong Station is not a wise move.

Even though he has the support of the Domain King and is strong enough, he does not have to worry about direct retaliation from the Earth Dragon Station for the time being.

But you can't stop the people at Dilong Post Station from keeping an eye on you, right?
No one wants to have an enemy who is watching you every day and will attack you when he finds an opportunity. Who can stand that?
Therefore, after that, except for lone desperadoes, there were basically few incidents of attacks on earth dragons.

Pei Ge actually didn't know anything about the Monarch Eighth Heaven incident, as it was too far away from him, but it didn't affect his belief in the reputation of the Earth Dragon Inn.

What's more, this giant dwarf named Tieshan did not show any hostility. He sat on the ground opposite them without any formality, just to appear to be on an equal footing with them.

This small detail alone made Pei Ge and Lin Xuan feel more favorable towards him.

"Senior Tieshan, were you talking to me before?" Lin Xuan realized that Tieshan was probably talking about him, and asked while pointing at his nose.

"Yes, I can tell at a glance that you are a blacksmith genius. Do you want to become my disciple? Blacksmithing is very profitable!" Tieshan grinned.

"Could it be that the senior is a weaponsmith?"

Pei Ge seemed to have thought of something and asked in a moving tone.

"I guess so." Tieshan said with a smile.

"sorry!"

Pei Ge immediately bowed.

"Weaponsmith?"

This was the first time that Lin Xuan had heard of this profession, and he could only roughly guess some clues from the name.

Pei Ge immediately sent him a voice transmission to explain: "You must have heard Li Qiao mention the 'Source Device' when you were at the Taiyuan Base before, right?"

Lin Xuan said that he had indeed heard of it.

The so-called source instrument is actually an artifact unique to the old land. Its concept is actually somewhat similar to the old land wonders.

Oh, it should be said that it is somewhat similar to the original wonder.

Different professions will use different types of source devices.

But what is certain is that a handy source device can produce an effect beyond imagination for the wielder!
Of course, source devices are also divided into different grades.

From the lowest-grade source device, to the yellow-grade source device, and then to the even rarer black-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade source devices, the gap is huge.

Generally, those below the commander level can only use low-grade source devices. As for high-grade source devices, even the lowest-grade yellow-grade source devices, cannot exert their full power below the commander level.

It is said that Li Min, the strongest man in Taixia, holds a top-grade yellow source weapon that is perfectly compatible with him. It was specially customized by a weaponsmith.

Generally speaking, customized source devices have the highest adaptability and can provide the greatest improvement in strength.

A top-grade yellow source weapon like the one in Li Min's possession is enough to nearly double his strength, and this is one of the reasons why the strongest stand out from the crowd.

As for the Xuan-grade source weapon, it is said that some strong people on the Earth Source Star have obtained it.

However, because it is not customized, the effect it can produce is not as good as those of some of the more customized top-notch yellow-grade source devices.

Unless one day it happens to fall into the hands of someone with a high degree of adaptability, it can exert its true power. This is also the reason why weaponsmiths have a high status in the old land, because no one would not want to have a fully adapted source weapon.

Especially as the life level increases, the demand for source devices will also increase, and there is a high probability that there will be more than one opportunity to deal with device casters.

"Only those who can forge yellow-grade source tools can be called toolsmiths. Otherwise, they can only be called toolsmith apprentices, forging some low-grade source tools..."

Pei Ge secretly explained to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan immediately understood that the giant dwarf man in front of him named Tieshan was actually a big man who could forge a yellow-grade source weapon!
Moreover, according to Pei Ge, even some monarch-level beings have great respect for a true weaponsmith.

At that time, Li Min, the most powerful person in Taixia, spent a huge price to find a weaponsmith to customize a yellow-grade source weapon suitable for him.

The common people have sacrificed a lot for Taixia, and Taixia will naturally not let down this powerful person and has mobilized huge resources for him.

This shows how high the status of the weapon caster is.

Although it is unclear what the weapon-making level of the weapon-making master named Tieshan is, even the most ordinary weapon-making master should not be underestimated.

Pei Ge was just a warrior who had just broken through to the lower-level commander. Even if he had a good talent in martial arts, he was nothing in front of such a person.

Especially since Pei Ge was certain from the beginning that the other party's life level was much higher than his own.

"Senior, are you joking?"

Pei Ge thought for a moment and asked Tieshan.

"Of course not." Tieshan said with a serious expression, "I have my own way of identifying. It's not easy to meet such a blacksmith genius. I asked out of my love for talent."

Pei Ge nodded, then looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "Xiao Xuan, what do you think?"

When Lin Xuan heard this, he understood that Teacher Pei was suggesting that he should think about it, otherwise he would probably find an excuse to deal with it first.

Of course, he also understood Pei Ge's attitude. After all, from Pei Ge's previous introduction to weaponsmiths, this was definitely a career with great money prospects.

After arriving at [Bawu City], Lin Xuan realized how precious money is.

It would cost hundreds of source coins to just get some information.

If this is to purchase resources or want other treasures, the expenses will definitely be more exaggerated.

If I could really become a weaponsmith, I would be rich in source coins.

To be fair, if he had not already become Zhao Qiankun's disciple, he would probably have been tempted.

Just as he was thinking about how to reject the other party, Tieshan's voice transmission appeared in his mind:
"Don't be nervous, Master Hong sent me here. I have already transformed your [Puppet Soldiers] and sent them over just in time."

When Lin Xuan heard this, he was a little surprised, but he also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Tieshan was sent by Aunt Hong, it at least means that he will not offend the other party by rejecting her.

Tieshan continued, "Lord Zhao should have reminded you before that his relationship with you should not be exposed, so Lord Hong asked me to take you in as an apprentice temporarily as a cover-up and to avoid some trouble for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan gratefully said, "Thank you, Senior Tieshan!"

Tieshan transmitted his voice, "Young Master, you don't have to thank me. Lord Hong saved my life, and this is what I should do... But I will have to inconvenience you for a while, and you need to address me as master and disciple in front of outsiders."

Lin Xuan transmitted his voice: "Senior Tieshan is too polite..."

After communicating with Tieshan through voice transmission for a few words, in order to prevent Pei Ge from feeling strange, Lin Xuan immediately said to Tieshan:
"Senior Tieshan, are you sure that I have a talent for casting weapons?"

"Absolutely sure." Tieshan nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Tieshan to take care of me from now on!" Lin Xuan stood up and bowed to Tieshan.

"Okay, okay, it seems like it's fate that God has sent me to meet you here." Tieshan stood up with a smile, "You're still calling me senior?"

"Disciple Lin Xuan, hello to Master!"

"That's right... From now on you are my Tieshan's seventh apprentice. Just follow me later, and I will take you back to arrange a ceremony for you to become my apprentice." Tieshan laughed.

"Well, Master, can you please wait for me? Let me go to the South District 13 with Teacher Pei first, and then go back with you." Lin Xuan pondered.

"That's not necessary. Xiaoxuan, just go with Senior Tieshan. It won't be too late to come back to Yin Yang Grocery Store after you're done." Pei Ge said immediately.

"Is this...appropriate?" Lin Xuan hesitated.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I brought you here originally to see if I could have you become a disciple of Senior Xie. Now that you have already become a disciple of Senior Tieshan, you naturally don't need to go with me."

In order to leave a good impression on Lin Xuan, Pei Ge immediately shook his head and rejected Lin Xuan's plan to accompany him. He said to Tieshan, "Senior Tieshan, I'll leave Xiaoxuan to you. He is young, so I hope you can bear with him."

"Of course. It's my blessing to have such a disciple. I will take good care of him, don't worry." Tieshan grinned and said, "When you are done with your work, you can come to the Cast Iron Building to find him anytime."

"Cast iron building? I'll remember it." Pei Ge nodded.

He actually didn't know where the Cast Iron Building was, but since Tieshan told him so, it proved that the Cast Iron Building should be somewhat famous in [Bawu City].

When the time comes, you should be able to find it by just asking around.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy for Lin Xuan. He didn't expect that he would be chosen by a weaponsmith by accident.

If Lin Xuan could really become a weaponsmith, it would be much more meaningful than becoming a commander-level master.

It should be noted that most weaponsmiths only have a second profession.

Just like the Senior Tieshan in front of him, he must have other professions besides weaponsmith, otherwise he would not be unable to sense the other party's life level.

What is certain is that this Senior Tieshan is at least a high-ranking commander, and not just an ordinary high-ranking commander.

It is definitely a good thing for Lin Xuan to become his disciple.

Of course, there is another important reason, which is that he is not sure that he can make Lin Xuan worship Senior Xie as his teacher.

He wasn't even completely sure whether he could become a disciple.

Lin Xuan's talent in martial arts was indeed excellent, he had no doubt about that, otherwise he would not have always wanted Lin Xuan to seize this opportunity.

But he was actually not sure to what extent this talent could be achieved in the old land.

Now that there is an opportunity before him, he naturally doesn’t want to see Lin Xuan miss it, and he is happy for Lin Xuan from the bottom of his heart.
