Chapter 41: Mindfulness

  "How's that? Within ten years, I guarantee you'll become a master blacksmith." Fabreides' eyes gleamed with excitement as he clenched his fists, staring at Gan Jing. At this age, he was already at the fifth level of ironwork, and in ten years, he would definitely become a master blacksmith! By then, the Warrior's Guild would have a master blacksmith who was also a warrior, and they wouldn't need to worry about the opinions of the Blacksmith's Guild anymore.

  Master Blacksmith? Dry and rough, although I don't know what kind of existence a master blacksmith is, it seems to be quite prestigious among blacksmiths. If one can become a master blacksmith, it's not bad at all. But, becoming an apprentice...

  Kanei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and in the endless world, the old blacksmith Blake, although ill-tempered and with a teaching style that could be described as rough and barbaric, seemed to have a good heart, and was decent towards himself. In this case, going to pay respects to another master...seemed...

  "Hmm..." After calming down and focusing his mind, he looked at Fabreids in front of him: "I can feel that you are truly doing this for my own good. However, I regretfully have to decline your proposal. The reason is simple - I have a master who teaches me how to forge iron."

  Lucas's eyes widened as he stared at Gan Jing, looking at him as if he was an idiot. He thought to himself: How can there be such a brainless person in this world? Does he know what he is rejecting? A blacksmith! He rejected his own path to becoming a blacksmith! What about the teacher? Even if it means betraying his own father, he would do it to become a blacksmith!

  Franklin stared blankly at Jian Jin, his shock no less than Lucas', for someone to willingly cut off their own path to becoming a Master Craftsman.

  Fabre's thick lips opened slightly, and he looked at Qian Jin with a series of "tsks": "Do you know how much your decision just now will change your future?"

  With a helpless shrug, he smiled wryly: "Perhaps, if I accept your proposal, I can become a high-ranking official in the future. But I cannot change my allegiance; my master has been very good to me. Without him, I might not even have enough money to eat now, let alone become a blacksmith."

  "It's interesting, you're really getting more and more interesting. " Fabreidis smiled with an extremely happy expression, his strong body slowly standing up, using his thick and powerful hands to pat Dryn's shoulder: "Kid, okay! Don't forget your roots as a person, it's worthy of being a warrior. In that case, since you can't become an apprentice, taking the path of a blacksmith is even more important for your future. How about coming over to my place tomorrow when you have time to play around? At your age, not being a bloodline warrior but having fifth-level Dou Qi ability is really great. Come to my place and I'll guide you..."

  A card the size of half a palm was stuffed into Qian Jin's clothes, and Fabreides smiled and turned to leave, leaving Qian Jin staring at Fabreides' back in surprise.

  Fifth-level martial arts? Qianjin secretly exerted force to clench his fist, and the overnight forging of metal made his fighting spirit break through another level, something even the teachers didn't know. This person could see right through it with one glance; who would have thought that Oakland City still had such a strong master.

  "Fantastic! Congratulations!" Franlin exclaimed loudly as soon as Fabreides left, rushing forward with excitement: "Congratulations, you've actually received guidance from Mr. Fabreides, it seems your days of standing out in school aren't far off."

  "Fabre Dis?!" Dryn shook his head in confusion, looking at Franlin: "Boss, you're quite familiar with him? Who exactly is he? I saw that even Rukas seemed to be afraid of him."

  Franklin shook his head repeatedly with a mysterious expression: "This, since you don't know, I'd better not say. Mr. Fabreides doesn't like others to be nosy."

  He casually took the four-product Dou Shi, which contained a lot of energy, and played with it in his hand, curling up his mouth, not caring at all. Every person in this world has their own secrets, compared to Fabre's identity problem, the four-product Dou Shi in front of him was even more eye-catching.

  Fighting stone. Dry and powerful, the corners of his lips curled up with a hint of pride, he really didn't expect to get a fighting stone of his own so soon, in the future when standing at the center of the Fighting Spirit Array again, the improvement of his fighting spirit will be even more obvious.

  Qian Jin's hand grasped the Dou Shi, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chang's waist pouch. It was a must-have equipment for adventurers when they went out to explore, not only could it store items obtained from outdoor adventures, but also simple medicines for emergency use, flying knives for sneak attacks, and even poisoned flying knives.

  It can be said that this unobtrusive leather pouch hanging at the waist is often the last line of defense to save an adventurer's life.

  In the past, there was nothing worth storing, and Qianjin didn't care about having a better pouch. Now it involves a piece of Dou Shi.

  "Oh, Mr. Qianjin likes this leather bag?"

  Xiao Chang's eyes were still sharp from years of adventuring, and he quickly untied the main pouch at his waist and presented it: "If you don't mind, I'd like to give this leather pouch to Mr. Qianjin."

  He let out a dry, unexpected laugh and handed over his main pouch.

  "Since you're so sincere, I won't be polite either." Qian Jin unceremoniously stuffed the deerskin into the leather pouch, patted it and smiled: "It's not that I couldn't afford this leather pouch, but if I hang a new one on my waist, others will know... Hehe..."

  Xiao Chang's thunderous roar, blinking eyes, some unexpected dry and meticulous thoughts. This leather pouch thing, people prefer to use old ones, because old things represent the user, most of whom are veteran adventurers. In the future, if they want to buy something, merchants will see this pouch and know that the other party is a seasoned pro, rarely asking for exorbitant prices.

  As long as you are a warrior, there will inevitably be situations where you need to buy things in the future. This leather pouch can reduce the loss of your hard-earned money.

  "Don't worry, once I've received your payment, I'll seriously build a strong iron for you."

  With a stiff upper body, he took two steps forward and smiled at Lucas with a wave of his hand. He deliberately swung his shoulders and said in a loud and coarse voice: "Mr. Lucas, please step aside. I'm going to use my despicable Iron Fist technique again, so as not to sully your pure eyes."

  Lucas's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he continued to stay here, only to be ridiculed by others. He glared at Gan Jing with hatred, and quickly left Franlin Ironworks with his men.

  Qianjin held two large hammers in his left and right hands, smiling at Franci who was not far away.

  In the backyard of the blacksmith's shop, the bellows made a hissing sound that didn't stop. Before long, the metallic hammering sounds grew louder and more intense, one after another.
