Those of the tribe who have the blood of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Rex flowing through their veins all know a secret.
Among soul beasts, there is a classification based on bloodline rank.
The dragon race places great importance on the purity of their bloodline.
Higher-level bloodlines can suppress lower-level bloodlines.
Dragons of lower bloodlines will submit to dragons of higher bloodlines.
Now, the phantoms formed from the broken bones left behind by the ancient true dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Rex family are all kneeling before Tuoba Yan, which means that the dragon bloodline in Tuoba Yan is higher than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Rex.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"how so?"
"He is a young master of the Tuoba family. Even if he by chance has some of our family's blood flowing through his veins, it shouldn't be enough to make our ancestral artifacts submit to him!"
"Could he not be a young master of the Tuoba family?"
Amidst the murmurs, Tuoba Yan declared, "No, I am a member of the Tuoba family, and I possess a mutated martial soul. Bloodline and martial soul are inextricably linked; they can mutate to become weak or strong! Yu Yuanzhen, according to our agreement, you must appoint Yu Tianheng as the young sect leader and support my Tuoba family for a hundred years!"
Supporting Yu Tianheng to the throne was not Tuoba Yan's only objective.
Upon his return, Tuoba Yan could imagine that his achievements would overshadow the emperor(Whoever is in top Position per say) and arouse the Grand Elder's suspicion.
The Grand Elder, bound by his promise, would certainly not break his word in public. However, a powerful Tuoba family that surpasses the other eight, which are also subordinate to the Qian family, would be detrimental to the Qian family's rule.
Tuoba Yan could foresee that the Grand Elder would definitely try to weaken the Tuoba family.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gains the support of the Tuoba family and the two become allies, it will undoubtedly make Qian Daoliu wary.
Gengxin City is a steel city located within the territory of the Xingluo Empire.
If Martial Soul City is the holy land of soul masters, then Gengxin City is the holy land in the hearts of blacksmiths.
Because blacksmiths are not valued and have the same status as commoners, this steel city can only be considered as a mid-to-lower tier city in the mainland's main city area.
As soon as you enter the city, a metallic aura unique to this steel city hits you.
Blacksmiths are also divided into ranks: junior blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, senior blacksmith, master blacksmith, blacksmith, master blacksmith, grandmaster blacksmith, and divine blacksmith.
"Boss, should we find a hotel first, or go to the Blacksmiths' Association?" Yu Tianheng asked Tuoba Yan as he followed him.
"Blacksmiths' Guild!"
"Boss, shouldn't we take this a step back? The Blacksmiths' Association isn't friendly towards the Spirit Hall."
"Don't worry, I have confidence in myself!"
In his previous life, Tuoba Yan was also an ordinary person.
In this life, he transmigrated into the body of a young master from a family of Soul Masters. He did not look down on ordinary people, including lowly blacksmiths.
His martial spirit is the Holy Lord.
One of the twelve talismans is called the Rat Talisman.
The rat talisman transforms stillness into movement.
It represents the dynamic and static power of the source of life, the magic of the mouse possessing the power of movement and stillness. It can imbue inanimate objects with power, transforming them into animals, and vice versa.
However, it is only effective on inanimate objects and cannot activate corpses to bring them back to life.
A living organism endowed with life possesses self-awareness, thought, action, and metabolic capabilities, and has the same lifeblood and organs as a living being of flesh and blood.
If it is a statue of a god or a fictional character from another dimension, it can be awakened and endowed with its own unique abilities. These abilities are based on the combination of reality and illusion with the system, but the god that is summoned and resurrected cannot be stronger than the real body. There is only a corresponding existence, because it is not a system.
At most, it can only be considered another replica born from assimilation with the real body. At its strongest, it is only about the same as the real body, but it is still not as good as the real body.
"Restore this body" is a key phrase.
In other words, even though the Rat Talisman can transform still objects into animals, it does not change their true nature.
For example, if a clay Vajra is given a rat charm and then fought against a Vajra made of copper or iron, the winner would be obvious.
The Blacksmiths' Guild is skilled in forging.
Unlike Tang San, Tuoba Yan did not understand Tang Clan's hidden weapons. The reason he wanted to recruit the Blacksmiths' Association was to have them create many "statues" for him.
If they had the Rat Talisman and countless statues, the problem of the Tuoba family's lack of Soul Masters would be perfectly solved.
Unlike Soul Masters, the statue imbued with kinetic energy by the Rat Talisman can be completely controlled by Tuoba Yan.
Upon entering the blacksmith's guild hall, the lobby was extremely noisy. Entering the second floor, however, one felt a sense of tranquility.
The first floor is open to the public and is essentially a farmers' market.
The second floor is the auction hall, where high-end items are bought and sold, and the participants are people of status.
There were two guards at the entrance to the staircase leading to the third floor.
When Tuoba Yan and Yu Tianheng tried to go upstairs, they were stopped by the guards.
Tuoba Yan flipped his hand and took out a golden bead from his storage soul tool.
The guard sneered, "Sorry, we don't accept bribes. Only those with status are allowed to enter the third floor."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng stepped forward and arrogantly said, "Do you know who is standing in front of you?"
Tuoba Yan raised his hand to stop Yu Tianheng, saying, "This is a gift I gave to your Grandmaster Silong. It's a soul tool!"
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan handed the items to the guard.
The guard hesitated, unwilling to take it.
Tuoba Yan continued, "By delaying important matters, you will not only have gained nothing but also incurred blame. If you present this gift to Grandmaster Silong, even if he doesn't like it, you won't be punished. Doesn't that make sense?"
The guard thought for a moment and realized it made sense. "You wait here for me. I'll be right back! Don't let them go upstairs until I return!"
Yu Tianheng muttered under his breath, "You guys act like you can stop us!"
After a while, the guard returned. A middle-aged man was walking in front of him.
The middle-aged man's eyes swept over Tuoba Yan, and he asked, "Who made this thing in my hand?"
As he spoke, Silong infused his soul power into the golden bead. The golden bead began to wriggle and transformed into a slender golden needle.
Once Silong withdrew his soul power, the golden needle returned to its golden bead form.
As a master blacksmith, Si Long had never seen such a miraculous "soul tool". He examined the "soul tool" carefully and found that the blacksmith's skill was so superb that no trace of artificial craftsmanship was left behind.
Looking across the entire blacksmiths' guild, only three people can do this. They are the three master blacksmiths of our time.
Tuoba Yan, of course, could not answer.
This thing wasn't crafted; it's a natural "soul tool."
It's called Fajin, it's called Longxuzhen.
Tuoba Yan said, "If you want to know the answer, take me to see your teacher, the master craftsman Lou Gao. I have important matters to discuss with him!"
Si Long frowned slightly, looking troubled. "You want to see the teacher?"
Tuoba Yan nodded, taking out more than twenty gold coins from his storage soul tool and placing them in Si Long's hand, saying, "These are just a small gift. Besides you being interested in them, I think your teacher, the master craftsman Lou Gao, will also be interested!"
