Chapter 414: The Foundation of a Forger is the Forging Technique, Not The Secret Forging Formulas (2)

Zhou Shu wouldn’t trust Yao Buqi, but he could still make use of him.

“Deputy Pavilion Master, how many forging materials do we have now?” Zhou Shu looked at s.h.i.+ Songtao.

“There are now more than three hundred and seventy types of forging materials in the camp, for a total of six million kilograms,” s.h.i.+ Songtao replied.

“In addition, during this period, I’ve divided the Forging Masters in the camp into two groups according to your arrangements, Your Highness. One group will forge standard weapons, and the other will forge ranked weapons.

“As of yesterday, we’ve forged more than two thousand standard weapons and seven ranked weapons.”

There were already more than 40 Forging Masters in the camp. These Forging Masters came to the camp one after another, not only from Great Xia but also from the other nations.

But in the current situation of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, there was no difference between them. All the Forging Masters listened to s.h.i.+ Songtao’s allocation.

It was overkill for Forging Masters to forge standard weapons. But standard weapons could be forged quickly. Now that the Ten Nations Alliance needed a large number of weapons, it was definitely impossible to equip everyone with ranked weapons.

Therefore, Zhou Shu had arranged for half of the Forging Masters to forge standard weapons.

As for the remaining half, they would split the work and forge ranked weapons.

However, although they had divided the work, the success rate had never been high. After all, not every Forging Master could be as familiar with the final fusion of various composite materials as Zhou Shu.

Even for Grand Craftsmen, it was already very good to succeed once out of three times.

Moreover, the only ranked weapons they could forge now were yellow-grade weapons.

s.h.i.+ Songtao explained the situation to Zhou Shu in detail.

Zhou Shu nodded. Forging couldn’t be rushed. In a short period of time, it was already beyond his expectations that the Huaxia Pavilion would have such a reserve.

“It’s not enough.” Zhou Shu pondered. “So be it if they’re all yellow-grade weapons, I’ll send more people to the group forging ranked weapons.

“And have you found all the Forging Masters in this world? Are there only forty?”

There were definitely more than forty Forging Masters from the Ten Nations who had entered this world. It was even possible that there were four hundred!

In the past, in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, there was almost no danger of Forging Masters dying in battle. But in this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, the Demon Realm was too strong. The Ten Nations’ armies were scattered as soon as they arrived, causing countless Forging Masters to die in battle.

If there were only so many Forging Masters left, it would be a great loss.

“There might still be some Forging Masters left out there,” s.h.i.+ Songtao said. “Only a portion of the people that Great General Meng and the others sent out to gather the remnant troops of the Ten Nations have returned. There are still some who haven’t. They might be able to find some remnant troops from other nations.”

“I understand.” Zhou Shu nodded. “I’ll go see the great general. Go ahead and do what you need to do.”

“Pavilion Master…” s.h.i.+ Songtao suddenly stopped Zhou Shu and said hesitantly, “Pavilion Master, the million-strong Demon Realm army has been driven back by you. Our Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament will end as well.

“Why do we have to continue forging? Those Forging Masters are not from our Huaxia Pavilion. We don’t need to share our forging materials with them…”

s.h.i.+ Songtao was a little reluctant. Although they now had more than six million kilograms of forging materials stored, these forging materials were neither too much or too little.

He wouldn’t say anything about letting other Forging Masters forge weapons using these forging materials during wartime. But now that the Demon Realm army had been chased away, what was the point of continuing to forge?

“You don’t understand.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Do as I say. Continue forging. They must not stop.

“Don’t be afraid of consuming forging materials. This entire s.p.a.ce is our territory now. Get Yao Buqi to bring people to dig. Dig out as many ores as they can. We’ll forge as many weapons as we can.

“There’s no need to keep secret the Huaxia Pavilion’s standard weapon forging formulas. You can teach them the forging formulas for Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber and the Horse Slaying Saber.”

“Pavilion Master!” s.h.i.+ Songtao exclaimed.

“Deputy Pavilion Master, be magnanimous,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “The foundation of a forger is the art of forging, not the secret forging formulas.

“Even if the forging formulas for Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber and the Horse Slaying Saber are exposed, we can always develop new standard weapons.”

Zhou Shu said proudly, “Our Huaxia Pavilion is not afraid of others learning. As the saying goes, those who learn from me live, and those who imitate me die. They can’t catch up to our Huaxia Pavilion’s forging techniques!”

s.h.i.+ Songtao had a look of admiration on his face. He thought about how the pavilion master had almost never used the inherent secret forging formulas to forge weapons since he debuted.

Every weapon he forged, be it standard or ranked, was created by him.

Moreover, every weapon could be said to be unparalleled!

Yes, the foundation of a forger has never been the secret forging formulas, but the forging technique!

With the pavilion master’s forging skills, even if the secret forging formulas are revealed, who can surpa.s.s our Huaxia Pavilion?

s.h.i.+ Songtao’s pride as a forging genius was also stimulated by Zhou Shu’s words.

Our Huaxia Pavilion is just so generous!

Everyone can learn the secret forging formula. Even if you learn it, you are still one step behind our Huaxia Pavilion!

“Take them to forge weapons first. I’ll join them later. It’s not just the forging formulas for standard weapons or ranked weapons. As long as they’re willing to learn, the Huaxia Pavilion won’t reject them,” Zhou Shu said.

“Yes, Pavilion Master.” s.h.i.+ Songtao had already thought it through. He didn’t care if those people could learn the secret forging formulas of the Huaxia Pavilion. In any case, even if they were given the chance, they might not be able to learn it!

“Pavilion Master, should we inform Her Highness about this first?”

Speaking of which, at the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, it was as if the grand minister of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Forging Division didn’t exist. Everything that happened in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was decided by the pavilion master.

But in name, the Huaxia Pavilion still belonged to the Great Xia Forging Division, and the grand minister of the Forging Division was currently in the camp.

Moreover, he, s.h.i.+ Songtao, was also a subject of Great Xia.

It was a huge matter to publicize secret forging formulas. Logically speaking, he should inform the grand minister and princess.

Although this matter wouldn’t affect the pavilion master much, the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch had been painstakingly set up by the pavilion master himself and didn’t have much to do with Great Xia. No matter what the pavilion master did, Great Xia wouldn’t be able to say anything.

“Wuyou?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll talk to her.”

Clouds appeared under Zhou Shu’s feet, and he tore through the air.

s.h.i.+ Songtao was stunned for a long time. Although he had long told himself that he shouldn’t have fantasies, he still had mixed feelings when he heard Zhou Shu address the princess intimately.

Oh, my lost youth. s.h.i.+ Songtao sighed. It was impossible to be jealous of someone like the pavilion master.

Only someone like the pavilion master was worthy of the princess.

Only a fairy like the princess was worthy of the pavilion master.

s.h.i.+ Songtao let out a long sigh and exhaled the depression in his heart. Thinking that he still had a long way to go on the path of forging, he didn’t have time to grieve.

In this life, although I can’t catch up to the pavilion master in terms of forging, I am also a genius. I have to use all my strength to catch up. At the very least, I have to see the pavilion master’s back!

Although the pavilion master instructed me to publicize the secret forging formulas, he didn’t say how.

s.h.i.+ Songtao snorted coldly to himself. If we give them to those Forging Masters, they might not cherish them, let alone be grateful to the pavilion master.

Some fellows with bad intentions might even slander the pavilion master behind his back!

I will never allow such a thing to happen!

The Huaxia Pavilion is generous to publicize the secret forging formulas, but it doesn’t mean that we are fools. We have to make those Forging Masters understand this!

s.h.i.+ Songtao calculated in his heart. He was the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion. He had to make up for the small matters that the pavilion master neglected. This was his responsibility as the deputy pavilion master.
