After Wei Yi came to the Sword Casting Division, he learned that if he wanted to participate in the Sword Casting Assessment, he needed to pay an application fee of five taels of silver.

But he didn't have that much silver on him.

I had no choice but to go home, took five taels of silver, and returned to the Sword Casting Division.

After paying the money and filling in the information, the registration was completed.

"Let's go back and wait for the notice!" The priest with a mole on his chin said in a deep voice.

"My lord, take the liberty of asking, how long will it take to notify me to come to the assessment?" Wei Yi asked.

"Two days at the earliest, someone will notify you then." The priest with the mole on his chin said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, sir!" Wei Yi arched his hand and immediately turned around and left.

Looking at Wei Yi's departing back, the priest sneered and shook his head slightly.

"Everyone really wants to be a swordsmith, and even a weak scholar comes to sign up, but this character is really beautifully written."

The official looked at the registration information filled in by Wei Yi and said secretly.

He immediately turned to the young man who was in a daze and said.

"Liang Tian, you go to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion later and ask when Shopkeeper Du has time to come and assist in the assessment of the sword caster."

"Oh, okay, I'll go now!" The man named Liang Tian came back to his senses, froze for a moment, and then got up and walked out.

Wanjian Pavilion in Qingzhou City is located in the most prosperous east city center, at the intersection of the main street.

In fact, this is just a branch of Wanjian Pavilion, headquartered in the capital.

The major cities in the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty all have their branches.

Wanjian Pavilion is a relatively old sword shop in the Great Yan Dynasty, and the ancestor was once a three-grade sword caster.

Originally, in this Qingzhou City, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion could be described as a dominant company.

However, just half a year ago, the newly rising Jianfeng Tower was also stationed in Qingzhou City.

The shops are diagonally diagonally opposite, across the street.

The background of this sword front building is not simple, otherwise it would not be possible to come to this Qingzhou City to open a sword shop.

With Jianfeng Tower, the business of Wanjian Pavilion was naturally greatly affected.

However, what Du Yujiang, the shopkeeper of Wanjian Building, didn't expect.

Just today, the three Nine Rank Sword Forgers they cooperated with were directly poached by others.

Bang –

Du Yujiang had nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, so he could only slap his palm on the table and get up angrily.

"This Jianfeng Tower is really too deceitful!"

Du Yujiang paced back and forth angrily, his broad palm, and his pinching gurgle.

He is not only the shopkeeper here, but also a seven-rank swordsmith.

You must know that in the entire Qingzhou City, there are only five Jiupin Sword Casting Masters.

Even the Nine Rank Sword Forge Masters in the entire territory of Qingzhou Mansion did not add up to more than ten people.

And there are even fewer seven-rank swordsmiths.

Counting him and the owner of Tianquan Villa, there are only two of them.

As for the Five-Rank Sword Forger, there was originally no one here.

In the past, when people in the city wanted to buy five jeweled swords, they all made them to the headquarters of the capital.

After all, even in the entire territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, the number of fifth-grade swordsmiths could be counted on two hands.

And now the shopkeeper of Jianfeng Building in Qingzhou City is one of them.

"The shopkeeper of Jianfeng Building promised to accept those two as apprentices, so ......" Zhang Xingye said with his head down, his face was very solemn.

"Hmph, it's strange that the old guy is really willing to teach them, but it's just to deceive those two!" Du Yujiang said coldly.

He knew very well that in this line of work, the disciples of the church starved to death the master.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stuck in the Seventh Rank Sword Forger for so many years.

Generally, if you are not a close relative of your own blood, or a real closed disciple, you will never give it to you.

Although he said this, he had to admit in his heart that the other party's move was really ruthless.

Let him have no countermeasures at all.

As a swordsmith, he could understand it himself.

Everyone wants to go further.

Now there is a five-grade swordsmith who is willing to accept them as apprentices, and he will also benefit a lot from giving them some advice.

Naturally, he did not hesitate to join the camp of others.

In fact, they also have a cooperative five-grade swordsmith in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

But if you want to emulate Jianfenglou's approach, you can't do it.

Not to mention whether the five-grade swordsmith is willing to come to Qingzhou City.

I'm afraid it's hard to just let people take in apprentices.

So this time I'm really going to suffer a dumb loss.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good!"

At this moment, Wang Shouyin also walked in quickly, and said with an ugly face: "Zhang Huye, he also canceled his cooperation with us!" ”

Hearing this, Du Yujiang felt his qi and blood surging up, his head buzzed, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and raise his head, pinching his temples with his hands.

I'm really afraid of something.

Now it's okay, the three cooperating Nine Rank Sword Forge Masters have all been poached.

You must know that the Jiupin Sword Forger is actually the main force of their sword shop.

Because in addition to ordinary swords, a jeweled sword has the largest audience and the largest sales.

It is also the most profitable category.

Although he was able to craft a jeweled sword himself.

But it is really a shame for a dignified seven-grade swordsmith to forge a jeweled sword.

The most important thing is that if this matter spreads, it will be a big blow to the reputation of their Wanjian Tower.

He, Du Yujiang, is afraid that he will also become the laughing stock of the industry.

At this moment, a small servant walked in at the door, bowed down and said, "Shopkeeper, the official of the Sword Casting Division, I have something to look for you!" ”

Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Du Yujiang opened his eyes, calmed down his emotions a little, and breathed slowly.

temporarily dismissed Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin, and immediately said to the little guy: "Please!" ”

Not long after, Liang Tian walked in and said slightly: "Shopkeeper Du, I don't know if I have time in the near future to help invigilate the assessment of the Nine Rank Sword Casting Master!" ”

"The assessment of the Nine Rank Sword Casting Master, is it our blacksmith in Qingzhou City?" Du Yujiang asked with a little surprise.

This is good news for him.

If the other party can pass the assessment, then isn't it just right for him to be included in his command?

Compared to those old swordsmiths, this newly assessed swordsmith is naturally easier to woo.

And as an invigilator, he is also the first to get the moon near the water.

When the time comes, Qiu Xuanji, who imitates the Jianfeng Tower, will also accept the other party as an apprentice by the way to win people's hearts.

"That's right, it's our blacksmith in Qingzhou City." Liang Tian said.

"I don't know who it is, can you tell me?" Du Yujiang asked again.

"It's not very convenient!"

"Okay, no problem, I have time in the near future, and I can listen to your company's arrangement at any time!"

"Well, good!" Liang Tian arched his hand and immediately turned to leave.

Du Yujiang sat on the chair and pondered for a long time.

There are some powerful blacksmiths in Qingzhou City, he basically knows about them, and even many of them have cooperated with them.

The one who has the most hope of becoming a Jiupin Sword Casting Master is Wei Tieshan.

But this person has already been imprisoned, and I don't know who is going to participate in the assessment this time.

"I hope this person really has the level of a nine-rank swordsmith!" Du Yujiang said in his heart.

He was very worried that the other party had not reached the level of the Nine Rank Sword Forger, so he came to participate in the assessment to try his luck.

After all, this has happened before.

Du Yujiang stood up, walked to the window, and his eyes fell on the signboard of Jianfeng Tower diagonally opposite.

"Du has been in this Qingzhou City for so many years, spent so much money, and raised so many people, if he loses to you, wouldn't he be laughing and generous!" Du Yujiang said unconvinced.

However, at this moment, Wei Yi was also on the street downstairs.

He looked at the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and then at the Sword Blade Tower.

These two largest and most famous sword shops in the city may be the owners of their cooperation in the future.

Wei Yi knew very well that after he became a swordsmith, he could sell swords.

But personal power is limited after all, and newcomers also need to open up their popularity.

Cooperating with such a well-known sword shop is the easiest way to make money and gain fame the fastest.

After all, they already have a brand effect, a reputation and reputation, and many customers.

At the moment, I am also in urgent need of money, and it is most convenient to cooperate with one of them.
