Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1764

Chapter 1764 Metal Tower(2)

To capture the Metal Tower's attention, most blacksmiths showcase their creations on the tower's first floor, which also serves as an open marketplace. However, despite the abundance of talented blacksmiths, only about ten individuals gain the Metal Tower's recognition every few hundred years.

"I've been selling my creations here for about a hundred years now," the man said. "In all that time, I've only seen three people be recognized by the Metal Tower. But let me tell you, being recognized doesn't mean you'll be accepted—that's an entirely different matter."

"I see. Thank you for the information," Yuan said to the man.

He left shortly after and began roaming the first floor, examining all of the stores available.

Now that Yuan understood how to attract the Metal Tower's attention, he knew he needed to craft treasures that would quickly build his reputation. The simplest and most effective way to achieve this was to create something far superior to anything else being showcased around him.

After exploring every store on the first floor, Yuan observed that most of the treasures on display were only Ancient-grade, with a few Mythic-grade items scattered among them. However, even the Mythic-grade treasures were of noticeably low quality.

'A few peak-quality Mythic-grade and Empyrean-grade treasures should be more than enough to attract the Metal Tower's attention.' Yuan thought to himself as he left the Metal Tower.

Thanks to the Metal Tower's influence, the area surrounding it was teeming with smithies and smithing-related stores, including shops selling various materials and tools essential for crafting.

Yuan entered a nearby smithy and requested to use their workshop.

"Hello, I would like to borrow the workshop to create some treasures."

The bulky man standing behind the counter looked at Yuan like he was crazy.

"You got any identification? A blacksmith identification, to be more specific."

"Sorry, but I don't have anything like that."

"Then we cannot lend you our workshop, no matter how much you offer. If you wish to use our workshop, you need to be an official blacksmith."

"How do I become an official blacksmith?" Yuan asked.

"Hahaha! You want to become an official blacksmith, but you don't even know how? You're an amusing one!" The bulky man laughed out loud.

He continued, "Ten blocks down, there is a place called the Blacksmith Association. In order to be recognized as an official blacksmith, you must pass several tests."

"Thank you. Then I will be back after I acquire my identification," Yuan said to the man.

"Hahaha! If a scrawny kid like you can pass the assessment, I'll gladly let you use my workshop for free!"

"Scrawny?" Yuan raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had ever been referred to with such a term.

Yuan's physique might appear scrawny compared to the bulky man standing before him, but in reality, it was perfectly balanced and refined to an unparalleled degree of perfection, being neither too skinny nor too bulky.

Yuan left the store shortly after, but he didn't immediately head to the Blacksmith Association. Instead, he decided to try his luck at a few more smithies. Unfortunately, all of them required him to be an official blacksmith.

'I guess this is a process I must go through to progress the trial.' Yuan thought to himself as he visited the Blacksmith Association.
