"What are the typical rewards for forging tasks?" Xu Yuan asked.

"Are you a blacksmith?" Long Yuxue asked in surprise.

She then covered her mouth, realizing it was a pointless statement.

The powerful blood energy that Xu Yuan displayed during the assessment was exactly the ideal condition for a blacksmith.

"What level of blacksmith are you?" she asked further.

Chapter 430 The Identity of a Saintly Craftsman (Please Subscribe!!! Adding Chapter 31)

"The Master Craftsman".

Xu Yuan casually announced his forging level.

"A master craftsman, huh!? A master craftsman?" Long Yuxue's eyes widened.

She pointed at Xu Yuan in disbelief, and said with a questioning tone, "You? A Saint Craftsman? So you can do Soul Forging?"

Xu Yuan nodded.

"Indeed, a seventh-level master craftsman."

He took out his blacksmith's badge, which Zhenhua had personally made for him.

Looking at the badge in Xu Yuan's hand and feeling its surging life force, its vitality that was indistinguishable from that of a living being, Long Yuxue couldn't help but swallow hard.

A bold guess formed in her mind.

Could this badge be made of Skyforged Metal?

Long Yuxue was not mistaken; the badge was indeed made of a piece of Heavenly Forging level metal, which was much higher than ordinary Saint Craftsman badges.

This badge was specially made by Zhenhua for Xu Yuan, so that he could feel the true aura of Heavenly Forging Metal at all times, and experience Heavenly Forging Metal in advance, thus preparing him for his future attempt at Heavenly Forging Metal.

"Your badge..." Long Yuxue held back and didn't ask about the material of the badge.

I'd better not ask about this.

Considering that Xu Yuan was able to become a master craftsman at such a young age, the most reasonable explanation is that he had a close relationship with that master craftsman.

Master and apprentice?

Or a relative?

"Ahem, could you tell me about the forging market in our military camp?"

Xu Yuan coughed twice, pulling Long Yuxue back to reality.

Since meeting Xu Yuan, Long Yuxue has been distracted more than once.

Xu Yuan, on the contrary, thought it was quite normal.

There's nothing we can do; it's because he's too outstanding, not because anyone else did anything wrong.

“Our army camp has no master craftsmen,” Long Yuxue said slowly, exhaling a breath.

"Given our situation, the demand for soul-forged metal is considerable, especially among the nine Blood Gods and officers with soul power above level 70. Whether it's the production or maintenance of the three-word battle armor, they cannot do without the Saint Craftsman."

Long Yuxue looked at Xu Yuan.

She didn't say it explicitly, but she had already conveyed the value of the master craftsman to Xu Yuan.

Here, the price of Soulforged Metal is definitely much higher.

"Our legion should have a high status, right? Didn't the Federation provide us with Saint-level craftsmen?" Xu Yuan was also curious about this.

Long Yuxue smiled bitterly: "How many Saint Craftsmen are there on the continent? There are only four Level 8 Saint Craftsmen on the surface. They are all strategic resources of their respective forces and basically cannot leave their own forces. There are more Level 7 Saint Craftsmen, but there are very few. Why would they be willing to come here and suffer?"

It's not that the master craftsmen lived a life of luxury.

Every master craftsman who could endure the loneliness of forging and emerge victorious from it had suffered countless hardships.

However, the environment here is far too unfriendly to the master craftsmen.

“Actually, if we have any need for Soul Forging Metal, applying to the higher-ups is more efficient than any other legion. Even the Central Legion, which has a Saint-level craftsman in charge, cannot match the Federation's investment in Soul Forging Metal for its internal experts,” Long Yuxue said. “Our legion’s applications are the highest priority tasks in both the Blacksmith Association and the Federation system. As long as a Saint-level craftsman is capable enough, they will choose to accept our tasks.”

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.

He recalled some soul-forging tasks he had previously done at the Blacksmiths' Guild.

It seems that some tasks are indeed extremely cost-effective.

In any case, Xu Yuan selected the tasks with the highest cost-effectiveness when he was confident.

"Of course, although the demand for soul-forged metal can be better met, it is still a distance away. We can't have face-to-face talks, so the specific needs may not be clearly communicated, and we can't participate in the forging process. This is also a very unpleasant point." Long Yuxue didn't just talk about the benefits.

As she said this, she looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Now that you've come to our legion, I'm sure you'll be very popular. After all, it's much more convenient to have a blacksmith you can communicate with face-to-face than to have to make requests by sending a few words over the phone every now and then."

Long Yuxue sighed.

It's certain that with such skill in soul forging, Xu Yuan will soon be valued by the nine Blood Gods.

"Yuxue, what do I need to prepare if I want to open a forging room here?"

Long Yuxue's eyes flashed.

If she hadn't known Xu Yuan could use Soul Forging, she might have offered to fund Xu Yuan's studio and then take a cut of the profits.

But now that she knows Xu Yuan's forging level, she naturally wouldn't have such thoughts.

She was very clear about her place.

“I don’t recommend you open a forging workshop. If you trust me, I’ll apply to the higher-ups for you after we finish eating. I think the Blood Gods will open a special channel for you and connect you directly with the soul forging tasks needed in the military camp.”

Xu Yuan nodded.

"As for your meal today, no, I mean the meal you ate before you received your merit, I'll cover it for you in advance, and you don't need to pay it back. I just hope that if I need your forging services in the future, I can be on the waiting list."

Xu Yuan glanced at Long Yuxue but did not refuse.

Long Yuxue definitely made a profit.

Of course, this is on the premise that Xu Yuan has a normal appetite.

If Tang Wulin were to come here now, it would be hard to say whether Long Yuxue would make a profit or not.

After all, Tang Wulin's appetite was instinctive.

Xu Yuan's large appetite was mainly for cultivation.

In fact, he could eat less and rely on the vital energy of heaven and earth to maintain his body's needs.

This is also the effect of cultivating the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique to a high level, which requires a very deep understanding of the power of the five elements and a thorough understanding of the changes of the five elements in the human body.

"Come on, let me show you the food of our Blood God Legion."

Long Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief and led Xu Yuan outside.

As she drove around the military camp, she also introduced the functions of many of the buildings along the way to Xu Yuan.

canteen.

The cafeteria is huge, covering several thousand square meters. Looking around, there are at least two thousand people eating here, and many more are heading this way.

There were more than a dozen food collection windows, each marked with a simple number: one, two, three, four.

"The smaller the window, the more expensive the food, but it's also more nutritious and better for your health. It also makes cultivation smoother, which is one of the reasons why many people earn merit points," Long Yuxue explained to Xu Yuan in a low voice.

"Rain and snow!"

As the two were talking, a melodious voice rang out from behind them.

Xu Yuan turned his head to look.

A female officer with a ponytail walked towards them, wearing the epaulets of a captain on her shoulders. She looked dashing in her crisp military uniform.

In terms of appearance, she was no less attractive than Long Yuxue. The difference was that her eye lines were softer, and her big eyes sparkled with a mischievous and clever look.

"July."

A smile appeared on Long Yuxue's face.

Jiang Qiyue approached the two of them and looked curiously at Xu Yuan, who was dressed in casual clothes.

"Is he new here? He's quite handsome."

Don't worry about my rest schedule; it's just that my sleep schedule is different from yours.

I slept during the day, and today I'm writing late purely because of diarrhea.

I've written three chapters in a row, so I need to take a break. I'll continue writing later. You guys go to sleep first, and we can look at the next two chapters tomorrow morning.

Is he new here?

Jiang Qiyue looked at Long Yuxue curiously, but her tone was very certain.

In this Blood God Legion, both soldiers and officers wear uniforms. Xu Yuan, dressed in civilian clothes, clearly had just arrived.

Even if it were just one more day, he should still be wearing a military uniform.

Long Yuxue nodded.
