The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 18: Star River Association

Inside the Qin Residence discussion room, the members of the Qin Clan all gathered with unsightly expressions on their faces.

"What's the situation now? Qin Chuan asked as he swept his gaze around.

“Clan Leader, the end of the year is near. Many of those who came out of the city for the purpose of cultivation had returned, but the situation was still the same – they were only allowed in, not out. Although our Qin Clan forces somewhat offset the threat posed by the Silver Feather Legion and the Chu Dragon Guards, the people of our Qin Clan still experience frequent bullying and humiliation, and rumors are spreading. They said that this time, our Qin Clan will not be able to overcome this danger.

"What about the news from the Royal Capital, and what about the Star Emperor Academy, is there any news?" Ask Qin Chuan again. The Qin Clan naturally had their own spy network within the Royal Capital.

"As for the news from the Royal Capital ..".", the speaker's expression flickered, "The Royal Capital seems to have no knowledge of what happened to Sky Harmony City, as well, the news has been sealed. And as for Ye WuQue, a few days ago, he stepped into the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, with some hints that he would immediately make a breakthrough to the Yuanfu Realm. This caused people with high status and authority to judge him. The Star Emperor Academy was heavily restricted by the Royal Clan suppressing them, and there did not seem to be any positive news on the matter of the Young Master. ”

"KaAcha!" A crisp sound rang out as Qin Chuan clenched his hands, as a sharp gaze flashed across his eyes.

“The show by Wentian didn't seem to get enough attention. Ye WuQue's talent, coupled with the intense pressure from the Royal Clan, caused the light of Qin Wentian's talent to be finished off. "Qin Chuan muttered in a low tone," Wentian, please grow faster, and show your talent. "

"Through this news, the members of the Qin Clan will reduce the number of exits of the city, and in addition, pull out all the remaining Yuan Meteor Stones in our storage, and send them to Wentian." Qin Chuan's expression flickered, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble. Regardless of anything, it seemed Qin Chuan wanted to nurture Qin Wentian. If an event happened that brought misfortune to the Qin Clan, they would still have a trace of hope.

Qin Wentian immediately received the Yuan Meteor Stone that Qin Chuan had sent. This time, there were a total of three pieces, causing a slightly agitated feeling in his heart. He knew that the Qin Clan, in recent years, had actually declined. Their income could no longer cover their expenses, and their resources were consumed endlessly, and their finances could be said to be in great difficulty.

However, this served as motivation to further strengthen Qin Wentian's beliefs.

Today, Qin Wentian left the Qin Residence through a side gate. The Silver Feather Legion had placed their troops outside the main door of the Qin Residence, facing the Qin Clan's forces in a confrontation, but the Silver Feather Legion did not go overboard and went to kill. On the surface, it looked calm and peaceful, but Qin Wentian knew that there must be a surging undercurrent hidden in this large-scale game.

However, he ignored all of this, and arrived alone in the central district of the Sky Harmony District where the Star River Association was located.

There were countless branches of the Star River Association throughout the Chu country, with its headquarters located in the Chu capital. The association located in Sky Harmony City was only a branch. The Star River Association had never interfered in the affairs of the outside world, but the fact that they possessed unquestionable authority, and their true strength was unfathomable. For Qin Wentian, he felt that the branch located within the Royal Capital, might not even be the true headquarters of the mysterious Star River Association.

And it was precisely because of the unique position of the Star River Association that Qin Wentian came here today. First, he wanted to learn more about the art of forging weapons, and second, to protect himself and his clan – he wanted to join the Star River Association to gain a certain status. If he was a member of the Star River Association, when he arrived at the Royal Capital in the future, even the group of assassins would have to be wary of the power behind him.

“The River Star Association can be separated into four divisions – Weapon Division, Pill Potion Division, Martial Fate Division, as well as the Heavenly River Division. Foster Father said that the status and strength of the River Star Association, might be even greater than that of the Royal Clan. "Qin Wentian silently chanted his heart, as he stared at the majestic building in front of him.

"Qin Wentian." At this moment, a voice rang out, Qin Wentian turned his body, and seeing a graceful silhouette appear before him, it was none other than one of the four beauties of Sky Harmony City – Lin Yue. A few days ago, he was invited to join Divine Wind Academy.

Lin Yue wanted to travel to the Royal Capital after the year was over, and thus, wanting to make some preparations beforehand, came to the Star River Association to ask Grandmaster Francis to make a divine weapon for him. Grandmaster Francis was someone who could forge top-tier divine weapons.

"Klan Qin will already be eradicated, to think that you still have time to look for a master to forge a divine weapon to make preparations to enter the Royal Capital?" Lin Yue sneered slightly, as she looked towards Qin Wentian .

Qin Wentian slightly furrowed his brows, before coldly stating, "Even if your entire Lin Clan is annihilated, my Qin Clan will still hold up well."

The first words of Lin Yue's mouth were already something that cursed the Qin Clan, causing Qin Wentian to become extremely annoyed.

"I'm not cool." Lin Yue's face underwent a slight change, ever since young, she had always been poured out with all possible love and desire, and had never met someone who dared to refute her. However, Lin Yue's mouth slightly curled up into a smirk before she added, "Oh, I almost forgot, Qin Wentian today is already a genius, different from Qin Wentian before. No wonder you have a dirty mouth. "

"Dirty mouth?" Qin Wentian was speechless, the woman in front of him seemed to be suffering from princess syndrome. Qin Wentian looked in disdain at Lin Yue, before turning away from her.

"You ..." Lin Yue could feel disgust and disgust in her gaze, which in turn, caused her expression to sink.

Lin Yue, not only was she one of the four great beauties, she could also be considered a genius, and was extremely dazzling in Sky Harmony City. Every time he came out, he would have many people who admired him. But since Fall Snow condensed his Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, there were many who felt that he was inferior to Fall Snow, and when the representative who came from the Royal Capital came for the purpose of recruiting the Snow Autumn, Lin Yue could not help but feel a bad taste in her mouth.

On the day of the examination, he had expected to be invited to the Royal Academy or the Star Emperor Academy based on his talent, but, that was not the case. However, neither Autumn Snow nor Qin Wentian had managed to secure the invitation! And at that moment, all the crowd's attention was only focused on the two of them, ignoring them. He deeply hated this kind of feeling, despising the previous look of disdain from Qin Wentian, it could be said that, in his heart, he was envious of Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian, along with many others, was in the Great Hall of the Star River Association. The design is such that when you enter, you will be able to see the reception counter.

Qin Wentian walked forward, only to meet the beautiful receptionist, wearing a Star River Association uniform, accentuating his curves, slightly bending his body at the bow of the greeting.

“Master, do you need to make weapons? Or need some help in pill concoction? ”The woman smiled when she saw Qin Wentian. The majority of those who came to the Star River Association were forging weapons or pill concoctions.

"i want to be an arms intern." Qin Wentian.

“Oh, if this is the case, your luck today is amazing. Grandmaster Francis is here today, I can give you a recommendation, but there will be no guarantee that Grandmaster Francis will accept any apprentices. Please wait there. ”The woman's receptionist doesn't feel strange, after all, there are always a lot of people who want to master the craft of either weapon forging or pill concoctions.

“Being a student? Wishful thinking. '' Lin Yue, who entered the building along with Qin Wentian sneered cynically. How hard is it to be a weapons expert? And not to mention the fact that most weapons experts would normally not pass down the divine imprint they had to their disciples.

"Please thank Grandmaster Francis." After causing so many heads to turn towards him, Lin Yue shone with pride, as a smile appeared on her face.

"Mr Francis and Old Master Lin are best friends, of course he will take good care of you."

"That's right, Lin Yue, your father and I are old acquaintances, don't call me Grandmaster Francis, just call me Uncle." A bright and clear voice rang out, Francis too, wearing a Star robe. River Association, and had a bright smile on his face as he walked.

"Uncle Francis, this time, I have to trouble you." The corners of Lin Yue's mouth had a slightly satisfied smile, as she deliberately swept her gaze towards Qin Wentian.

'' It doesn't matter at all, since Lin Yue you have managed to become a member of Divine Wind Academy, no matter what weapons you need, including special requests, let me know, no matter what weapons you need, I will forge a divine weapon suitable for you . "

"Uncle Francis, my Astral Soul is a rabbit, nimble and nimble, all I want is a sword, a sword with a length of 3 feet, especially it's the most suitable for fast swordplay techniques."

"Well, I will write down the divine imprint of the feathered wings on it, lightening the weight of the sword, while having an inherent effect in increasing your speed and agility." Mr. Francis laughed.

Lin Yue smiled smugly on her face after she heard that, and after that, the beautiful receptionist from before approached them once more, looking at Grandmaster Francis as she said, "Grandmaster Francis, the, the people there wanted to make a request for you to forge those divine weapons, and among them, there were people who wanted to become apprentices. "

“For those who make a request, note what details they want and the compensation they will offer. After that, give me that list and I'll pick a few from that list and have those re-elected here three days later. And for the one who wanted to become an apprentice, who was he? ”Francis opened his mouth and said, making the hearts of the crowd sigh inwardly, this is indeed the right of a weapons expert. Having the ability to choose the divine weapon he wanted to forge and the one who made the request, had to first list what he wanted to compensate for first. In the State of Chu, the position of a weapons expert was highly respected.

"Here we go." Lin Yue pointed towards Qin Wentian, "That guy with a dirty mouth."

Qin Wentian slightly furrowed his brows, he had a dirty mouth? Lin Yue was obviously the person with the dirty mouth right? Everyone knows that this woman suffers from princess syndrome.

"Did he somehow offend you?"

"Yes." Yeah." Lin Yue tilted her head.

"Let her take care of me." Francis laughed, "Lin Yue, come back 3 days later to collect your divine weapon."

"Anyone who wants to be an apprentice, follow me."

QIn Wentian hesitated for a moment, before standing up, and following Francis.

Francis waved at Lin Yue, as he received the recording paper that the receptionist passed, before bringing Qin Wentian to the large door, which was located at the left of the large hall. Inside that door, there was a completely different world. This is, the armaments division of the Star River Association.

As a first-rate weapons expert of the Star River Association, Francis had his own weapon forging the hall, and when Qin Wentian followed Francis to the entrance of the hall, a fiery heatwave billowed, causing a massive, it caused a stream of sweat to instantly form on Qin Dahi Wentian.

"Follow me." Beckoning to Qin Wentian, Francis stepped into the hall. Qin Wentian saw that there were several rooms located within the hall. Francis walked directly into a room with a large smelting furnace, which sank to the ground. Beneath that smelting furnace, there were countless terrifying embers constantly heating it up.

"You can look around first." Francis said indifferently, as Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head. He could feel a sense of pride emanating from Grandmaster Francis. Only those who were at the first level of the weaponry master, would be awarded the title of a forger master, and thus respected by others.

"This is the material for forging weapons." Qin Wentian walked towards the entrance of the side room.

After which, Qin Wentian walked to the entrance of another side room and contained within it, were weapon prints for swords, spears, swords, spears, shields, gloves, etc.

"What's? It's empty! "Qin Wentian's face froze slightly. He realized that all the weapon prints contained nothing in them.

"It was a special embryo for a weapon that was printed into the form of a divine weapon, as long as the materials for the divine weapon were melted into liquid form by the smelting furnace, transferring the liquid into a mold made by a special embryo, and letting it harden, an embryonic form of divine weapon would be created. Now, bring all these special embryos to the place beside the smelting furnace, I want to start making divine weapons. ”

Francis' voice floated up, as Qin Wentian silently nodded his head, bringing all the special embryos into the space beside the smelting furnace. While Francis consulted the recording paper, it seemed to decide for whom to forge the divine weapon.

"A sword, a shield, a long spear and two swords, pour the metal liquid into the mold of the weapon I just mentioned."

"Does all the liquid already meet the mold?"

Qin Wentian furrowed his brows in confusion, although he had never faked a weapon before, he understood the logic behind forging a weapon. Different weapons will require different ratios of materials. For example, the sword must be sharp, while the shield must be thick and heavy. How could it be as simple as Grandmaster Francis explained?

"Do you? The metal liquid in the smelting furnace was mixed according to the golden ratio, so it was enough to forge a divine weapon of any kind. Once the form of divine weapon materialized, one only needed to write down different divine imprints to achieve the different effects required. The most important thing when forging divine weapons, was the writing of the divine imprint. Do you understand now? ”Master Francis subconsciously coldly explained as if he was annoyed by the questioning look in Qin Wentian's eyes.

"Understood." Qin Wentian calmly replied, yet coldly smiled in his heart. This Francis, he was too lazy to spend any effort to actually forge weapons. All divine weapons were forged with the same ratio of materials, before inscribing a divine imprint on it and repackaging it as a "divine weapon" and could be exchanged for compensation. No wonder all weapons experts are so rich!
