The entire Treasure Trove Pavilion was guarded and maintained by dozens of Blood Refining Realm cultivators. In the past two months, Tie Wen had been very idle. Other than secluded cultivation, he would stand here and watch the Treasure Trove Pavilion get busier and busier every day.
As for defense, the Treasure Trove Pavilion and the previous Patriarch of the Treasure Elephant Tribe were the most untouchable force in the Treasure Trove Pavilion.
The corpse of a Heavenly Building Realm cultivator was the greatest shock!
Outside the Treasure Trove Pavilion, there was a stream of people. At this time, a burly man holding the hand of a child less than ten years old arrived. On the burly man's back was a stone coffin!
This stone coffin was made entirely of bluestone. There were some rough patterns that covered its entire body. It was no more than three feet in size. If it weren't for the fact that it clearly resembled the coffins of the Human Race in the Wasteland, everyone would have thought it was a box made of stone.
"Wait!"
At this moment, the two Blood Refining Realm guards at the entrance of the Treasure Trove Pavilion reached out and stopped the burly man.
The Treasure Trove Pavilion welcomed guests from all over, but this cultivator carrying a stone coffin was clearly looking for trouble. As the guards of the Treasure Trove Pavilion, they naturally could not let him enter.
"Lords, I come from the declining Weapon Forging Tribe. The stone coffin on my back is not a corpse, but a treasure passed down from my tribe. Today, I have specially come to offer it to the mid-rank Ancient Essence Combat Division!"
"Weapon Forging Division?"
The two guards looked at each other, full of doubt. The name of the tribe mentioned by the burly man was unfamiliar to them. It seemed that there was no such tribe in the entire Giant Stone Valley.
Not only these two soldiers, even the warriors in the surroundings had a trace of doubt on their faces. This was because they had never heard of the name of this Forging Division. There were thousands of tribes in Giant Rock Valley. Except for some battalions that were located in extremely remote areas, the names of some tribes were relatively familiar to most of the people. However, they had never heard of this Forging Division.
"This …" Seeing the expressions of the two Battle Soldiers and the words of the surrounding martial artists, the rough and strong man's face flushed red and he waved his hands repeatedly. Even the child he was holding had a timid look in his eyes under the gaze of the crowd, and his little body involuntarily moved closer to the strong man.
"What's wrong!"
As the crowd gathered, Tie Wen's figure appeared outside the Treasure Trove Pavilion.
"Greetings, Captain!"
Upon hearing Tie Wen's voice, the two Warriors bowed and reported what had just happened to Tie Wen.
"Forging Battalion?"
Hearing this, Tie Wen could not help but frown. He could not recall who this Forging Battalion was.
"My … … My forging battalion was destroyed a hundred years ago, and there are only a hundred clansmen left. It is normal that Daren has not heard of it!"
Seeing that Tie Wen was looking at him, the rough man became a little nervous. His originally waving hand unexpectedly grabbed a corner of his animal skin robe.
"Has it been destroyed?"
Seeing the man's reaction, Tie Wen immediately had a good impression of him. The man's natural behavior represented his inner thoughts. It could be seen that this man was not good at communicating.
"The Trove of Treasures is a bartering place that my Ancient Yuan War Division has opened in Giant Rock Valley. It welcomes martial artists from all over the world. Since you have come to barter, how can we not let you in!"
Tie Wen said indifferently as he waved his hand to dismiss the two Warriors.
He was also particularly interested in the stone coffin behind the burly man. If it was a coffin used to bury people, how could it be so tightly sealed without any gaps? Moreover, the patterns on the stone coffin were exceptionally ancient, giving off a simple and unadorned charm.
"No!
No! "
Seeing that Tie Wen had classified him as a barter, the man's expression immediately became even more anxious. In the end, he repeatedly called out in a low voice. However, he did not dare to shout loudly for fear of angering Tie Wen.
"The Clan Elder sent me here to offer this treasure to the middle-grade Ancient Yuan War Division in exchange for its protection!"
"Oh!"
This piqued Tie Wen's interest even more. Ever since the news of the Ancient Yuan War Division becoming a middle-grade War Division had spread throughout Giant Rock Valley, there had been many Human Race War Divisions that wanted to join and seek protection from the Ancient Yuan War Division.
However, which War Division did not offer a large number of resources? This was the first time someone had come to seek protection while carrying a stone coffin.
"Our Weapon Forging Division is made up of blacksmiths. We are a tribe that specializes in forging weapons. Unfortunately, our tribe has withered and our population has dwindled. I'm afraid it won't be long before we completely disappear from the Great Wilderness. Therefore, we have come here to offer the treasure passed down by our tribe to seek protection!"
"A Weapon Forging Division that specializes in forging weapons!"
"I remember now! There really is such a Human Race War Division in Giant Rock Valley!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. At this moment, an old veteran saw that many warriors were looking at him, but he did not have stage fright. He immediately said, "It's a pity that the Weapon Forging Tribe was exterminated a hundred years ago. Now, only a few of our tribe members are surviving!"
The old man's words made the strong man's eyes turn red. He seemed to recall the past of the tribe.
"Almost all the martial artists of the Weapon Forging Division learn the art of blacksmithing. It is said that during the tribe's golden age, the entire tribe had more than ten Advanced Craftsmen. There was even a peak Advanced Craftsman!"
What!
At this moment, many martial artists looked at the strong man in a different light. They didn't think that his origin would be so shocking. Craftsmen were masters in forging weapons. Advanced Craftsmen could forge high-ranked combat divisions, which were weapons used by Blood Refining Realm martial artists.
This Weapon Forging Division actually had more than ten Advanced Craftsmen. It was really terrifying. High-ranked combat weapons used by Blood Refining Realm martial artists needed to be infused with Battle Qi. They couldn't be casually forged.
"This is still not the Weapon Forging Division's golden age. A hundred years ago, in order to become a Master Craftsman, this Advanced Craftsman gathered many spiritual materials and forged a spirit weapon together with the other Advanced Craftsmen of the tribe!
A spirit weapon that reached the middle grade! "
What!
In a short period of time, the crowd actually lost their composure twice. What was a spirit weapon? It was a weapon that belonged to the Heavenly Building Realm martial artists. This Weapon Forging Division actually had the strength of a low-ranked combat division and forged a spirit weapon for Heavenly Building Realm martial artists.
However, at this point, the old man didn't continue. No matter how anxious the martial artists were, he didn't say another word.
"Old Senior is right!"
At this time, the strong man continued, but a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"My Weapon Forging Division forged a middle grade spirit weapon, but it brought a crisis of extinction to the tribe. The Iron Hoof Tribe took a fancy to the spirit weapon forged by our ancestors. Not only did they take it away by force, they also forced our Weapon Forging Division to be slaves and forge weapons for the Iron Hoof Tribe. The ancestors of the tribe didn't allow it, so we were exterminated. In the end, only a few of us survived, struggling at death's door until now!"
Hu!
In the next moment, all the martial artists understood why this strong man wanted to seek protection from the Ancient Elemental Combat Division. In this barren land, the only tribe that had the strength to protect the remaining members of the Weapon Forging Division was the Ancient Elemental Combat Division.
"Sir, please grant my wish!"
With that, the strong man knelt before Tie Wen and pleaded. Because they had offended the Iron Hoof Tribe, even after a hundred years, the remaining members of the tribe were still ostracized by other tribes. The price of the weapons forged by the tribe was lowered by other combat divisions, causing the entire tribe to suffer. Now that the Ancient Elemental Combat Division had appeared out of nowhere, they saw hope.
In the face of the strong man's plea, Tie Wen didn't dare to easily agree. After all, this concerned the relationship between the Ancient Elemental Combat Division and the Iron Hoof Tribe. It wasn't something he could make a decision on. It had to be made by Xiao Chen himself.
"Sir, please grant my wish!"
The strong man and the child beside him knelt on the ground. The young child's body was even trembling at this moment.
This time, the surroundings suddenly became silent. Only the strong man's somewhat choked voice drifted in the air.
"Can't I?"
After a long time, a look of despair flashed across the strong man's face. If even the Ancient Elemental Combat Division didn't take in the remaining members of the Weapon Forging Division, then there really would be no place for his people to survive in the entire Barren Land.
Hu!
At this moment, the temperature in the air suddenly rose. Even some of the Blood Refining Realm experts could feel the intense heat.
"What's your name!"
In the next moment, a golden light flashed. When the light dissipated, a green figure appeared in front of the Treasure Trove Tower. The voice came from his mouth.
"Greetings, Lord Patriarch!"
Boom!
The two Blood Refining Realm warriors who were originally standing in front of the door suddenly bowed and shouted loudly. Their eyes even flashed with a touch of fanaticism.
What!
This was the Patriarch of the Ancient Elemental Combat Division!
This was the Patriarch of the Ancient Elemental Combat Division! In fact, he was even more powerful than the Patriarch of the Iron Hoof Tribe!
"We greet Patriarch Xiao!"
After a brief silence, the surrounding warriors bowed one after another. Great warriors of the Heavenly Building Realm. This was the difference between the ranks of the Innate Realm.
After a long time, everyone got up. They wanted to look at Xiao Chen's appearance, but they didn't dare to do so openly for fear of angering Xiao Chen.
"Please take us in, Lord Patriarch!"
Only the brawny man from the Weapon Forging Clan didn't get up. Instead, he heavily banged his head on the ground. Although he was simple and honest, he was not stupid. He knew that the appearance of Xiao Chen today would determine whether he could obtain the protection of the Ancient Elemental Combat Division.
"The Weapon Forging Clan is willing to offer the treasures left behind by the clan!"
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.
On the third floor of the Treasure Trove Tower, Xiao Chen sat on a stone chair. Tie Wen stood beside him, and the brawny man held the child's hand and stood on the other side.
"How many craftsmen does the Weapon Forging Clan have?"
"Currently, there are less than a hundred people in the Weapon Forging Clan. There are less than ten craftsmen, and only one is an Advanced Craftsman!"
After returning to Duanmu City, Xiao Chen saw the scene of the brawny man begging for the protection of the Ancient Elemental Combat Division. He also learned that this clan had forged Spirit Weapons, which made him a little interested.
Although the Ancient Elemental Combat Division had been promoted to a mid-ranked combat division, there were only a hundred craftsmen in the clan, and only ten of them could forge high-ranked combat weapons. As for Spirit Weapons, it was simply a fantasy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid such a huge price to obtain several Spirit Weapons at the barter.
