1518 Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic
After Zi Xuan left Tian Qiyuan's world, she returned to her sect with her new sword, which she named Heaven's Intoxication due to how every sword crafted by Tian Qiyuan inevitably makes her feel heated and dazed, almost as though she was intoxicated.
The first thing she did when she returned to the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect was to test the sword on someone, so she challenged another Unrivaled Sword to a match.
Despite the reluctance of the individual she chose to spar with, there was no room for refusal. The power and authority Zi Xuan commanded was undeniable, and he knew that she would not hesitate to attack him if he dared to refuse.
"W-wait! What in heaven's name is that sword?!"
Her opponent was immediately taken aback by the sword's overwhelming presence in Zi Xuan's grasp, a presence that seemed to radiate with a life of its own.
"Heaven's Intoxication. It's my new favorite sword," she calmly said.
"Ignoring the weird name, where did you acquire such a marvelous treasure?!"
"Exalted Blacksmith," she replied, her voice carrying a sense of pride.
"Oh, I remember now. You won that auction a year ago with our sect's resources. Do you have any idea how much that hurt our finances? That amount could've supported our sect for another hundred fifty thousand years. The Sect Master would still cry even at the slightest mention of it."
"Stop complaining. I only borrowed it, so I plan on paying it back. After all, it wouldn't truly be mine if I used another's wealth to buy it." Zi Xuan said in a nonchalant voice.
"And how do you plan on doing that? Even if you sold your body, it wouldn't cover half of the costs!"
"I will be visiting the Primordial Chaos shortly to familiarize myself with Heaven's Intoxication by hunting Chaotic Beasts."
"The Primordial Chaos?! That's reckless behavior, even by your standards! Do you have any idea how many God Ascension Realm cultivators perished in that place?!"
"You're worried about me? I don't need it."
"I'm worried that the debt you owe to the sect will disappear with your pointless death!"
"That's none of your business. Anyway, let's get started. I have a lot of work to do."
After another warning, Zi Xuan attacked her opponent.
The fight was incredibly one-sided, with Zi Xuan dominating her opponent.
Their spar lasted half as long as it typically does, and after the spar, Zi Xuan immediately left the sect to start earning money at the Primordial Chaos, one of the most dangerous places in the Supreme Heaven.
Meanwhile, Tian Qiyuan continued to accept commissions for the next decade.
Once his fame had reached its peak and his reputation was unshakable, Tian Qiyuan stopped accepting normal commissions and only accepted commissions from those who could provide him with rare materials.
Although this sudden change upset many individuals, nobody dared complain, as it was already a miracle that he had accepted commissions from pretty much anybody with enough money for the last decade.
In the last decade, Tian Qiyuan managed to acquire seven more of the materials he needed for his masterpiece. However, he still needed dozens of materials, and it could take hundreds, if not thousands, of years before he had enough material to finally craft his masterpiece.
Zi Xuan returned to her sect after spending 50 years straight hunting Chaotic Beasts from the Primordial Chaos.
With the number of Chaotic Beasts she slew, she acquired a tremendous amount of fortune from selling the Chaotic Beasts' materials. However, a majority of her earnings went to pay back her debt to the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect.
Then, with the rest of her money, she spent it on hiring scouts to search the Nine Heavens for the materials Tian Qiyuan needed.
If the materials were available, she would've spent it on purchasing them directly, but Tian Qiyuan could've done that already.
Eventually, she found several individuals who had one of these materials, but none of them were for sale.
Knowing that Tian Qiyuan had tried and failed, Zi Xuan opted to acquire them through other means. Thus, the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic, who hasn't appeared in over 50 years, started causing havoc around the Nine Heavens once again.
"Fuck! Why are you doing this?! Did the Exalted Blacksmith send you to rob me because I refused to sell it to him?!" One of her victims cried out loud.
"No, I am doing this on my own accord because I find it ridiculous."
"The only thing ridiculous here is your existence!"
"Why are you hogging the material even though you don't plan on using it? Frankly, it's a waste of resources. If you ask me, it should be given to the Exalted Blacksmith, who will refine them into their purest form and craft the most beautiful treasures out of it."
"This is a warning to the others. Either sell your materials and let them serve their purpose, or let me take them from you. I recommend the former since it'll earn you some money at the very least."
The Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic's warning would spread throughout the world like wildfire, terrifying the other collectors who had refused to sell their material.
When Tian Qiyuan heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I don't know who this fanatic of mine is, but I truly appreciate it!"
While he wouldn't stoop to the level of theft, he had no issue with someone doing it for him as long as he didn't personally encourage it.
He also agreed with the fanatic's words and believed that materials should serve their purpose instead of collecting dust.
After another twenty years, Zi Xuan appeared before him with a material that was on his list.
"I'm here for my second sword!" she greeted him with a wide smile.
It only took a glance for Tian Qiyuan to immediately recognize the material she brought as one of the materials he had failed to purchase.
"So you're the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic, huh?" he smiled after coming to this realization.
