Chapter 1221: Master Ni

After seeing the quality of the longsword, someone exclaimed in surprise.

“A magic tool of Good Grade Rank One!”

Hearing this voice, everyone looked at Ni Yinghong in shock. ‘How long has it been? She actually smithed a Good Grade magic tool?’

Most of the people present knew that the lady on the stage had arrived at Butterfly City 3 months ago. At that time, she had only been able to smith 2 or 3 Common Grade magic tools.

In fact, when Master Ni said that she could help everyone smith for free in the beginning, she was almost taken as a liar. After all, how could there be such a good thing in the world?

Everyone understood one thing. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world but unfortunately, the free meal was given to them.

At that time, Ni Yinghong did not seem to be in a hurry. Finally, someone could not resist the temptation of a magic tool and took out a set of materials that he had treasured.

It was that set of materials that changed everyone’s attitude.

Very quickly, that set of materials became a Common Grade Rank Two magic tool. In terms of value alone, it had increased by 7 to 8 times. Moreover, Ni Yinghong did what she said. He gave the magic tool to that person and did not take a single cent. She even tactfully rejected the reward that person wanted to give.

At this time, everyone finally understood that they had really encountered a good thing. Such an opportunity was hard to come by in 10 years. Smithing a magic tool was a very taxing thing. Nonetheless, there was no kind-hearted smither who would give it to everyone for free.

After the first person took the lead, there was soon a second person, then a third.

Ni Yinghong fulfilled her promise to not receive a single reward. Furthermore, her success rate was frighteningly high. Most of the time, she succeeded. Occasionally, she failed once or twice. The people who provided the materials also happily prepared the next set of materials.

In these few months, Ni Yinghong spent almost half of her time in this square. Occasionally, when she was tired, she would go to a tavern not far away to rest for a few hours.

More magic tools were made from her, and the equivalent ranks gradually increased by a lot. From Common Grade Rank Two to Rank Three, and even Rank Four… In the end, when someone provided some good materials, there was even a Common Grade magic tool at the peak.

Ni Yinghong’s fame grew and soon, it spread throughout Butterfly City. Even people in the nearby cities knew that there was a blacksmith master in Butterfly City who helped people smith magic tools for free. Many people came because of her fame, and the entire square had become like this.

“Master Ni finally did it…” Someone looked at Ni Yinghong with admiration.

Although those who had not had their turn were happy for Master Ni Yinghong, they could not help but feel a little disappointed.

This was because Master Ni had said that she would leave this place after she smithed a Good Grade magic tool. No one had expected that the day would come so soon.

There were still a few people blocking Ou Yangming in front of him. He was not tall, to begin with, so Ni Yinghong did not realize that he was among the crowd below.

She picked up the newly smithed magic tool and gave it to the person who provided the materials. She said, “I’ve fulfilled my mission.”

That person was also very excited. He said, “Master Ni, you’re too polite. These are the remaining 3 sets of the refining materials. Please be sure to accept them.”

After that person finished, a few cultivators who were only Rudimentary Spiritualists carried a large box of materials over.

“Bang.” The box was placed on the ground.

In order to request Master Ni’s help in smithing, everyone had prepared more than a set of materials. Ni Yinghong did not receive any benefits, and her success rate was very high, but for the sake of safety, everyone prepared spare materials.

Originally, the person felt that it would be very good to be able to exchange the materials for a Common Grade Rank Three magic tool or higher.

A Good Grade magic tool could be considered an unexpected surprise.

The value of a Good Grade magic tool was more than 5 times higher than a Common Grade one. Those who provided the materials were also excited at this moment.

Ni Yinghong still shook her head and said, “There’s no need. Since I said it was free, I won’t go back on my word.” She waved her hand, indicating for the other party to carry the box away.

The Spiritual Realm was not like the Great Wide World. There were not many people who had an interspatial bag here. Seeing Ni Yinghong’s determination, that person could only helplessly take the items back.

“Congratulations, Master Ni, your smithing skills have improved.” Someone looked at Ni Yinghong and said flatteringly.

“Congratulations, Master Ni.”

Everyone also said hurriedly. From the beginning, when Ni Yinghong was not liked, to her winning the respect of countless people in Butterfly City, it only took 3 months.

“Master Ni.”

Someone in the crowd suddenly called out. Everyone looked over, and a young man wearing a golden silk soft armor walked over from afar.

“Young Master Mu is here.”

The others recognized the person, and they all had flattering smiles on their faces. The Mu family was one of the top 2 families in Butterfly City, and Young Master Mu was also a genius. At such a young age, he was already an Intermediate Spiritualist, and his future prospects were limitless. For such an outstanding youth, everyone naturally did not dare to offend him.

Ni Yinghong glanced at the young man and asked with a calm expression, “Young Master Mu, is there something you need from me?”

When she first arrived here, it was Young Master Mu who had provided the materials for her. This allowed her to gain a firm foothold in Butterfly City, so they could be considered friends. Despite that, those materials had already been exchanged for an even more precious magic tool, so Ni Yinghong did not owe him anything.

Young Master Mu was elegant, and his voice was magnetic. “My father heard about your deeds and expressed his deep respect for you, Master Ni. He specially asked me to bring the precious materials from our family.” He tapped the interspatial bag on his waist, and a few precious ores appeared in his hand.

“Interspatial bag…”

Everyone stared at the item on Young Master Mu’s waist, their eyes filled with astonishment. As expected of the young master of the Mu family to have such a precious item.

It was very difficult to smith an interspatial bag. Even the vast majority of blacksmiths were unable to do so. In the Spiritual Realm, they were much more precious than magic tools.

Those who possessed an interspatial bag were big shots.

Young Master Mu enjoyed the attention of everyone, but his face remained calm, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ni Yinghong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry, Young Master Mu, you’re too late. I’m a little tired and don’t plan to smith anymore.”

She came here to break through her smithing ability and to smith a Good Grade magic tool. Now that the goal had been achieved, she also planned to leave.

“I see…”

Young Master Mu looked at the longsword that Ni Yinghong had just smithed. There was a look of surprise in his eyes as he said, “You’ve smithed a Good Grade magic tool, Master Ni. It’s indeed amazing.”

He did not force Ni Yinghong. He put the ores back into his interspatial bag and said, “My father admires you very much, Master Ni, and he wants to meet you. Will you do me the honor, Master Ni?”

This was Young Master Mu’s real purpose here. When he took out the ores just now, it was just to show the strength of the Mu family.

A master who could smith Good Grade magic tools was a very precious treasure in the Spiritual Realm. If one could be recruited into a family, it would be unexpectedly beneficial for the development of that family.

As for whether Ni Yinghong would agree or not, Young Master Mu was not worried because they had their methods.

“There’s no need…”

Ni Yinghong was not stupid. The other party had beaten around the bush just for this purpose. Even if she did not refuse just now and helped to smith a magic tool earlier, she figured that the young master would still ask for an invitation.

“Young Master Mu, I’ve already planned to leave Butterfly City, so I won’t go to your residence to disturb you,” Ni Yinghong decisively refused.

After saying that, Ni Yinghong no longer paid any attention to him. She was a capable person and did not have any good impression of a person who would beat around the bush, thus

she walked to the middle and waved her hand. The smithing table, which had cooled down, was also put back into her interspatial bag.

This interspatial bag was personally refined by Ou Yangming. The space inside was very big and was far from what Young Master Mu’s could compare to.

“Master Ni also has an interspatial bag.”The onlookers were shocked when they saw the smithing table disappear.

“Master Ni’s a blacksmith, so it’s understandable that she has an interspatial bag. That said, her interspatial bag is too big. She can actually store such a big smithing table.”

“No wonder Master Ni doesn’t like our materials.”

Seeing this, Young Master Mu’s expression changed slightly. He used his mental power to look into his interspatial bag.

The size of his interspatial bag was estimated to not be able to fit half of the smithing table. Even so, he had to spend almost half of his family’s liquid funds to buy it.

‘Blacksmiths are indeed filthy rich. It seems like the conventional method won’t work.’

Young Master Mu took another step forward and walked in Ni Yinghong’s direction.

Ou Yangming had been watching from below. Ni Yinghong was smithing just now. He knew that she could not be disturbed at that time, so he did not go out. Now that she had finally succeeded in smithing the magic tool, he did not expect a person to be chattering here.

“Who’s that guy?” Ou Yangming tapped the shoulder of the person beside him and asked.

The 2-meter-tall man turned around and glanced at Ou Yangming. “Who are you asking about?”

“That guy who looks like a smiling tiger,” Ou Yangming said.

The big man laughed. He looked at Ou Yangming strangely and said, “I think you’re jealous, young fella. That man is the eldest son of the Mu family. He’s only in his thirties and is already an Intermediate Spiritualist. Moreover, he’s a well-known kind man.”

“Kind? Why can’t I see it?” Ou Yangming said disdainfully.

With one look, Ou Yangming knew that the young master was very scheming. It was just that ordinary people could not see it. In front of Ou Yangming and other masters, there was no way for him to hide.

“Young fella, it’s jealousy that makes you ferocious.” The big man laughed and glanced at Ou Yangming, then at the elegant young master. He found that the gap between the two was really too big.

Other than being a little delicate, the young man was incomparable to Young Master Mu, and he was also narrow-minded…

Seeing Ni Yinghong so determined to leave, Young Master Mu could only take out his trump card. He carefully took out a box made of camphor wood from his pocket.

When the box was opened, a ray of light instantly shone.

Seeing this item, countless people gasped…
