Chapter 257 - Gaining Reputation
Tan Fei was undecided for a long time.
“I know that you have your concerns.”
Right then, Su Zimo spoke, “How about this? Give me your materials first. If I manage to refine the spirit weapon successfully, you can pay me the 3,000 middle-grade spirit stones. If I fail, tell me how much spirit stones your materials cost and I’ll compensate you.”
When he heard that, Tan Fei’s eyes lit up.
He asked hurriedly, “How many days do I have to wait?”
Su Zimo replied calmly, “There’s no need. Just wait here. That middle-grade spirit weapon will be ready soon.”
“Ah?
Tan Fei was stunned.
All of a sudden!
Just as the three of them were letting their imaginations run wild, another flash of light appeared in the courtyard.
The second spirit pattern was condensed!
Tan Fei was overjoyed and leaped over.
Letting out a breath of turbid air, Su Zimo soaked the saber in cold water to quench it into shape!
Accepting the saber with both hands, Tan Fei loved it more the more he looked at it.
It was exactly as he had specified. With a dark blade that was streamlined, it was sharp and could slice metal like mud.
“Fellow Daoist, this is the payment. Please accept it.”
Tan Fei took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo.
Opening it, Su Zimo was stunned for a moment. “3,000 middle-grade spirit stones is fine. You’ve given me too much.”
“It’s only right.”
Tan Fei replied hurriedly, “You’ve only taken a single set of materials to create this middle-grade spirit weapon. Indirectly, that saved me quite a bit of spirit stones for the materials. This is what you deserve.”
Su Zimo did not decline further and accepted it.
Patting his chest, Tan Fei declared, “Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. Someone with your skills shouldn’t be buried. I’ll definitely help to promote you upon returning.”
Su Zimo smiled in acknowledgment. “Thank you for that.”
Tan Fei left in high spirits, mumbling before he left, “Godly skills! What godly skills!”
Lin Xuanji remarked with lingering fear, “No matter what, you’re the first person who dares to remove the Weapon Tripod while attempting spirit gathering. What an eye-opener.”
Su Zimo turned to Nian Qi. “Let’s set another rule for the weapon workshop. All weapon refinements are to be done in the afternoon. Anyone who comes at any other time will not be entertained!”
“I don’t think that’s very suitable.”
Nian Qi hesitated. “After all, most cultivators will be visiting for the first time. They won’t know of such rules.”
“It’s fine, they’ll know after a few times.”
Su Zimo smiled and continued, “We’re going to have many more rules in the future…”
In truth, be it in terms of price or materials required, Su Zimo’s weapon workshop was far superior than any other out there!
The only thing he lacked was an opportunity.
However, the opportunity had arrived – Tan Fei.
Su Zimo believed that it wouldn’t be long before word of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop spread to every corner of the capital. Many cultivators will know about them and their reputation would skyrocket!
In the capital, there were people refining weapons daily.
In the weapon refinement scene of the capital, things were stagnant as well.
Su Zimo’s performance today was like a stone tossed into a lake, causing a series of ripples to spread out on the calm surface waters of the capital.
“Have you heard? There’s a new weapon workshop beside Jishui River that has many strange rules.”
“Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop? Yeah, I heard of it.”
“It’s said that the Weapon Refinement Master is called Mo Ling[1] has a weird temperament and he only forges weapons in the afternoon. Furthermore, you can get your hands on your weapon the same day you order it.”
“Most importantly, Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop only requires a single set of materials and it only costs 3,000 middle-grade spirit stones! That’s truly a weapon workshop of conscience.”
“I plan on checking it out tomorrow.”
“Why don’t we go together? Count me in.”
It was as if Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop had popped up overnight and its influence was spreading rapidly, turning into a hot topic of discussion between cultivators.
[1] As you can guess, Spirit is pronounced as Ling. However, it’s inconvenient to name the weapon workshop as Mo Ling because Su Zimo named it using his and Night Spirit’s name
