"The lou?!" Unknowingly, Weng Ying Luan exclaimed in shock and immediately withdrew everyone's attention.
They turned to the ceiling of the room where Ying Luan was floating freely. Weng Lou who heard her name called turned his head and looked at Ying Luan.
He blinked for a moment before then his expression became startled and his mouth opened wide while unable to resist immediately flying along and facing each other with Ying Luan.
"Luan!!! Ahahaha!!! So you really got thrown in!"
The two shook hands before embracing each other like a brother who had not seen each other for a long time. Weng Lou didn't know how he should describe his current happiness. His friend, no, his best friend who was with him from the Weng Main Family and together became part of the Northern Heavens Sect did not he expect instead to meet him in a place like this!
For months on adventures without friends, Weng Lou feels lonely. There was no one he could talk to about Black Sand Island other than the Black Ape Fighter.
"I thought I wasn't delirious when I saw you last night! I thought I was drunk and delirious, damn it! Ahahaha!"
As Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan were still conversing for a moment above the people who were in the weapon-making room, people frowned when they saw Weng Lou floating on the ground.
Only those in the realm of Soul Unification and above could do that, which meant that Weng Lou was in the realm of Soul Unification. And what surprised them the most was, Weng Lou did her without the help of Qi, aka she used her pure Soul Power to fly.
"He turned out to be a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification!"
"But what about his Qi? I can't feel the slightest bit of Qi inside his body!"
"Sttt!! Lower your voice! Didn't you see who was with the kid?! He's the Luan Fighter! The greatest fighter in the Battle Arena!"
"What?! Fighter Luan?! So he really was just a young man who looked to be in his early tens?! Damn, he's so great!"
People were discussing with each other, while Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan had already finished letting go of their misses. Weng Lou turned his head down and watched as the people were busy discussing with all sorts of their thoughts.
"Wait a minute, I have to finish my job. I can't just leave twenty thousand gold coins behind when I have the chance" said Weng Lou who immediately returned to his place making weapons.
He quickly put the metal he had previously finished refining into the furnace and made it melt into a bright red-colored metallic liquid.
Weng Lou then walked towards the mold he had put in the first liquid metal. He opened the mold and took out a dagger from inside. The dagger still looked rough and did not look like a useful weapon at all. But Weng Lou didn't care about that.
The rough dagger was put into the fire and waited for it to turn red with the heat before taking it out again. He also began refining the dagger using his hammer.
In general, metal purification is done on a whole metal that has not been formed, because if it has been formed into a weapon, the shape of the weapon will be damaged or deformed. But it seems Weng Lou doesn't care about that. His hand continued to swing his hammer violently and made a loud noise throughout the room.
Weng Ying Luan who was watching from above seemed stunned by the way Weng Lou made his weapon. He was always lazy when Weng Lou wanted to take him to learn to make weapons or just accompany him in the forging room. But every now and then he also watches Weng Lou make his weapons, and he admits Weng Lou is a great weapon forger.
However, what he saw before has now changed, even if it is in good condition not bad.
Weng Lou is still great at making his weapons, but not only great now, he can say it is amazing! The force of Weng Lou's hammer swing seemed to hit the earth and shake it firmly.
His heart trembled each time the hammer was smashed onto Weng Lou's purified dagger.
"I-This....really great....is Lou as great as this one used to be? I am very sure, although he used to be great at making his weapons but he always had a serious expression as if he should not fail. Now, however, his face was. hahaha. You must've been through a lot, Lou....."
***
An hour passed very quickly.
In the weapon-making room, Weng Lou polished a dagger that resembled a short sword with two different colors. On the inside of the dagger has a bright silver color with some patterns engraved on it. Then at the edge of the dagger has a dark brown color that is shiny because it has been polished by Weng Lou.
After finishing polishing it, Weng Lou also gave the final touch by installing the tip of the dagger handle in the form of a savage beast skin that has the power of the Soul Unification realm. After that, he also inserted the dagger into the sheath that he made using the skin of a savage beast as well, and of course who had strength in the realm of Soul Unification.
He smiled in satisfaction at the dagger and then looked back where many people were watching it.
His hand casually threw the dagger at the auction host whom he had previously told him to appraise his artificial dagger.
Without hesitation the auctioneer pulled out the dagger from its sheath, then looked at the dagger with eyes full of admiration. Just this time he saw a weapon that had just been made. Not only was his appearance extraordinary, but the aura released by the dagger also made him swallow his saliva.
The auctioneer walked forward and then began to examine each corner of the dagger. He checked his angle, his sharpness, and also his weight. He even assessed the texture of the dagger grip.
"This. Its weight was indeed almost the same as a short sword in general, but when it was being swung, it automatically split the wind so as to easily make it move in the air without being obstructed by the wind. But I can't judge a weapon without knowing its power, can I test it?" he asked Weng Lou with a serious face.
Without answering anything, Weng Lou immediately threw out a sword from within his Spatial Necklace, it was one of his Night Dragon Sword clones that was a tier 3 weapon. His strength equaled a level 1 Spiritual Weapon but his endurance only equaled an heirloom level 3 weapon, thus making him not very valuable in Weng Lou's eyes.
The auctioneer was stunned when he saw the sword that Weng Lou had thrown at him. The sword was very heavy, and also had very good qualities according to him. The people watching also commented on Weng Lou's clone of the Night Dragon Sword, the weapon did not seem to be just any weapon in their opinion.
"Use it to test it, even if it is only a tier 3 weapon, but its power is not inferior to a tier 1 Spiritual Weapon. It should be suitable for use as a test material" explained Weng Lou.
Hearing Weng Lou's remark, everyone in the place couldn't help but be surprised. A level 3 weapon that equaled the power of a level 1 Spiritual Weapon? Is there such a great weapon? If there was, only a madman would be willing to use it as a trial material.
The price of that Night Dragon Sword clone should be at least 10,000 gold coins on the market, and it might reach 20,000 more gold coins at auction. Using such a valuable object as a test material, according to them Weng Lou just wasted his money.
The auctioneer hesitated for a moment, he also understood the price of the thing he was holding. But for the sake of testing Weng Lou's artificial dagger, he needed to do this.
"Huff."
Dagger in the left hand, and sword in the right hand. The two sharp sides were directed at each other before finally being swung and clashed against each other.
*Clang.....*
With ease, the dagger cut through the clone of the Night Dragon Sword and made the piece fall to the floor. Weng Lou smiled with satisfaction at that, he immediately took back his dagger from the hand of the auction host before then walking towards the man who challenged him earlier.
"Give me my money, now," Weng Lou said as he extended his hand, he smiled broadly at the man. The man clenched his hands, he did not expect Weng Lou to actually be able to make a Spiritual Weapon.
And keep in mind well, he made it in just 1 hour! It was something that had never been heard before! Even the most famous forger in Tiesha City took half a day to create a Spiritual Weapon!
With a sense of force, the man took out a bag of money from inside his storage ring and gave it to Weng Lou. He seemed reluctant to give it away, yet he realized it was impossible to break his promise while many people here were watching his bet with Weng Lou.
After giving him all the money, he left immediately. He was already unable to stare at the people there anymore with his self-esteem crumbling after losing a bet with Weng Lou.
Weng Lou checked the contents of the money bag that the man had given him. He was quite surprised to find out that it was more than the money the man had bet with him.
A satisfied smile adorned Weng Lou's face. He put the bag into his Spatial Necklace and took Weng Ying Luan away from it. He and his comrades-in-arms have many stories that they must share with each other.
When he was about to leave, the previous auction host suddenly detained Weng Lou while putting on his serious face.
"Tu-Master! If you'd like, would you sell us that dagger? No, auction it! Let us help you auction it! We'll just take du, no, one percent of his income! Please Sir, believe in me, I will get you a truly decent price for that dagger!"
Surprisingly, the auction host kneeled before Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan making the two confused as to what to do.
Of the many things that Weng Lou has done with his weapons, selling them for a profit is not one of them. There was a reason for him not to do it, and obviously he was unwilling to do it in ordinary situations.
But now that he needed a lot of money, Ying Luan beside him also gave a sign to accept the offer. They both knew that the price of weapons on the Mainland continent was much more expensive than on Black Sand Island. It was possible, they would become extremely wealthy just by selling weapons.
Because persuaded by two people at once, Weng Lou finally allowed the auction host to auction his dagger.
"Thank you, Sir! You won't regret giving us this dagger. If you want, you can follow the auction, the auction is not done in this store, but in the city center. There were many others who took part in the auction, and the Lin Family would be in charge of the auction event."
"Our shop became one of the few stores allowed to take care of auction items. So you could say that we have a khsus chair in the auction. If you want to come, the auction will start in four days, it's noon." The auction host explained excitedly as he brought his face closer to Weng Lou.
Weng Lou pushed back the auction host's head and immediately walked away from it while waving his hand. "I'll come if I have time. Don't forget your promise, I don't want to get under 50,000 gold coins!"
"Good Sir! I understand!! Be careful on the road!!"
Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan left the shop immediately. Weng Lou no longer had any interest in finding shipbuilding and reinforcement mineral materials on the third floor of the shop. There was Ying Luan now with him, another matter she could do sometime.
More importantly, he had to make a meeting party of both of them!
