Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Once Wu Mo thought about it, he nodded and said, "I need a furnace of good quality, and I need a lot of burners. The larger the capacity, the better."

After hearing Wu Mo's request, the tenth elder was a little confused.

As an elder of Treasure Pavilion, he naturally knew a lot about casting. The so-called burners on the furnace were the air vents. The more burners there were, the more powerful the fire would be, and the higher the upper limit of the fire's temperature.

Moreover, the more openings there were, the better the forger's control of the fire would be. However, it would be more difficult to use it.

A normal quality furnace had four openings, and the better the quality of the opening, the bigger it would be. The upper limit was within ten openings. Even a high-level blacksmith would find it difficult to control too many openings.

As for the furnace's internal volume, the smaller the better. This was the tenth elder's first time hearing someone make such a request.

For a moment, he was confused.

However, as the controlling shareholder of the headquarters, the tenth elder was very polite.

He felt that Mr. Wu must have his own reasons for doing so. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Sometimes, one should not ask too many questions.

Moreover, Mr. Wu was an important guest of Treasure Pavilion. Since Mr. Wu had spoken, he naturally had to make arrangements.

"Understood. I'll arrange for people to make preparations now. Mr. Wu, please come to Treasure Pavilion's hall and make your selection."

Wu Mo nodded with a smile. He, the tenth elder, and Gao Yue proceeded to Treasure Pavilion's hall together.

This time, a total of seven people had followed the tenth elder from the headquarters to Shanglin City.

Wu Mo could feel the fluctuations of spirit energy in those people's bodies. He immediately understood that they were probably cultivators with extraordinary strength.

The tenth elder ordered his men to prepare.

Whether it was Treasure Pavilion's staff or the many cultivators who had arrived with the tenth elder, they immediately found many furnaces of different sizes via their respective channels following the elder's demand.

Not long after, dozens of furnaces were piled up in front of Wu Mo. Everyone looked at Wu Mo with respect and told him about the effects of the furnace they contributed.

"Mr. Wu, the furnace I'm offering is called Copper Tiger. It has six fire outlets and a volume of one hundred liters. The temperature inside the furnace can easily break past one thousand and two hundred degrees. On top of that, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a Three-star cultivator without being damaged," a thin young man wearing a black robe said.

Wu Mo looked at the bronze-colored furnace in front of him. His expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was dissatisfied or satisfied.

A tanned man saw this and immediately pushed the first man away. Then, he looked at Wu Mo and spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Wu, take a look at my furnace. It's 1.2 meters tall and has a volume of more than 300 liters. It also has 8 outlets. The temperature inside can reach up to 1,500. Although this cauldron is a little crude, it's practical. My friends who are blacksmiths have agreed to use it—"

Before the brawny man could finish his words, someone beside him interrupted him.

"Go to hell. Mr. Wu, as a distinguished guest of our Treasure Pavilion, how can you use such a crude thing? Mr. Wu, take a look at my furnace, Blood Rose. It has 10 outlets and a volume of 200 liters. It's a Rare-grade furnace. It can reduce the rate of failure in forging."

Seeing the furnaces placed before him one after another, the tenth elder who was standing at the side immediately asked with an eager look, "Mr. Wu, are these enough to catch your eye?"

The people who had offered the furnaces looked at Wu Mo.

They wanted to see what kind of choice he would make.

Wu Mo glanced at the colorful furnaces but felt a little regretful in his heart.

Although some of these furnaces were of good quality, their sizes were far from his expectations.

After some thought, Wu Mo nodded and said, "These are indeed good but not quite enough."

The tenth elder blinked his eyes, feeling that Wu Mo's words held a different meaning.

"Um, Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, our Treasure Pavilion doesn't have a suitable furnace for your usage for the time being. But don't worry, Shanglin City officials definitely have a lot of top-grade furnaces. If you have the time, I'll bring you to them now."

"Ask the mayor to give us a furnace?"

Wu Mo thought about it and felt that the matter of finding the furnace could not be delayed. The Divine Arms Academy's graduation assessment was less than half a month away, so he had to forge Mjolnir in advance. The longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Tenth Elder."

Wu Mo stood up and cupped his hands toward the tenth elder.

"Mr. Wu, what are you talking about? It's all thanks to you that Treasure Pavilion has been able to settle down. This small matter is nothing compared to your great kindness to us," the tenth elder said earnestly, his face full of gratitude.

"Little Gao, stay here and take care of Treasure Pavilion. I'll bring Mr. Wu to the mayor's mansion."

After he made arrangements for follow-up tasks, the tenth elder and Wu Mo immediately walked out of Treasure Pavilion and headed in the direction of the mayor's mansion.

The two of them chatted as they walked. Wu Mo realized that the tenth elder was not putting on any airs of a superior. Instead, he was like a kind grandfather.

There were rows of merchants on either side of the bustling road, while the sun was somewhat dazzling. Its light shone through the dense leaves and sprinkled on the ground.

"Mr. Wu, are you still studying at the Divine Arms Academy?" the tenth elder placed his hands behind his back and asked in a gentle voice.

Wu Mo gradually slowed down his footsteps. He nodded and answered a little emotionally, "Yes, but I'll be graduating in half a month."

"Hehe. Mr. Wu, you're a great talent. Have you planned where you'll go after graduating?"

"I haven't thought so far ahead yet," Wu Mo replied casually.

He looked ahead, but his vision was attracted by a ray of golden light that was suddenly reflected.

He subconsciously turned his head to look and found that the source of the golden light was not far away. It was from the treasure-gathering cauldron at the entrance of Shanglin Bank.

Golden light was reflected off the cauldron under the sunlight, and even the surface of the road had a golden shine. It seemed to have good feng shui for gathering treasure.

Moreover, the cauldron was two meters tall and bigger than all the furnaces he had seen in Treasure Pavilion. It perfectly suited his needs.

"Hey, that's good!"

Wu Mo slapped his thigh and exclaimed with excitement while he pointed at the cauldron.

The tenth elder was still thinking about how to bring a talent like Wu Mo into Treasure Pavilion's headquarters.

When he heard Wu Mo shout, he was shocked.

He raised his head and looked at the golden cauldron not far away from the bank entrance.

When he saw how interested Wu Mo was in the cauldron, he walked toward the bank without a word.

Wu Mo immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"Okay, my friend, the tenth elder, can handle anything. If there's a need, he's on it!"
