Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Chapter 79 Fan Yu's Suspicion, Astonishing Earning Ability (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe)

Evening arrived quickly, and Ye Sen arrived at the banquet on time as invited. Almost everyone from Class One was present, except for Ling Luochen.

However, no one was surprised by her absence, including Ye Sen, who had just joined Class One. Although he was a newcomer, as a reborn person, he naturally knew Ling Luochen's personality.

The meal was quite lively, and Ye Sen even drank some alcohol, which was unusual for him. Thanks to this meal, he was able to quickly and smoothly integrate into the class.

A few more days of peaceful college life have passed.

After three months of forging, the 500 kilograms of rare metal he purchased from the Soul Guidance Department for 10,000 gold soul coins at the beginning of the semester was all successfully refined. After deducting a small amount of losses from failures and the weight of impurities, he finally obtained 400 kilograms of finished thousand-forged rare metal.

It's worth noting that he sold just ten kilograms of thousand-refined red copper for ten thousand gold soul coins, which is a unit price of one thousand gold soul coins per kilogram. Based on that unit price, the four hundred kilograms of thousand-refined rare metal in his possession would be worth no less than four hundred thousand gold soul coins.

Moreover, the rare metals he possessed were inherently more valuable than copper. After all, the market price for one kilogram of ordinary copper was ten gold soul coins, while the rare metals he bought averaged twenty gold soul coins per kilogram, more than double the price.

In other words, the price of his four hundred kilograms of rare, thousand-refined metal is roughly between four hundred thousand and eight hundred thousand gold soul coins, and even taking the middle value, it is still a full six hundred thousand gold soul coins.

From 10,000 to 600,000, a full sixty-fold difference in value, he accomplished this single-handedly in just three months.

No wonder that ten thousand years later, in an era dominated by battle armor and mechs, blacksmithing became the most profitable profession on the continent. The blacksmith who invented special forging techniques such as Thousand Refinement Spirit Forging was truly a genius!

That day, after the morning classes, Ye Sen arrived at the Soul Guidance Department with practiced ease. However, he didn't go directly to the studio, but instead went to the office of Fan Yu, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

"What brings you here, kid?" Fan Yu asked instinctively when he saw Ye Sen.

Although he knew that Ye Sen often came to the Soul Guidance Department, he usually went to the studio and, apart from that time when he bought rare metals, he almost never took the initiative to come to him.

The moment the words left her mouth, Fan Yu froze, only then noticing Ye Sen's black school uniform. She asked in astonishment, "What's with your clothes?"

Ye Sen explained, "I passed the grade skipping exam a few days ago and skipped from first grade to sixth grade. Didn't Director Fan hear about that?"

"What?"

"Skipped from first grade to sixth grade?"

Fan Yu looked completely incredulous.

Although both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department are part of Shrek Academy, the Martial Soul Department has always been very protective of its elite and talented students, not wanting to give the Soul Guidance Department any chance to interfere.

Under these circumstances, it was naturally difficult for Fan Yu, as the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, to obtain information about Ye Sen from the higher-ups of the Martial Soul Department.

The students are taught separately on both sides, and they usually keep to themselves. This makes it difficult for news from the Martial Soul Department to reach the Soul Guidance Department through the students, and even if it does reach them, it takes a long time.

"You skipped from first grade to sixth grade, are you planning to take the entrance exam for the inner academy next year?" Fan Yu asked with a strange expression after calming down.

Ye Sen did not answer the question, but instead got straight to the point and said, "Director Fan, I'm here to buy some more rare metals that haven't been forged and refined from you."

"Buying again?"

Fan Yu looked at Ye Sen with surprise and asked, "Have you finished forging all the rare metals you bought last time?"

"Um.

""

Ye Sen nodded.

Fan Yu said, "Then are you going to sell them? You're not a Soul Master, so there's no use for keeping these rare metals. Our Soul Guidance Department can buy them back at market prices."

Ye Sen naturally rejected Fan Yu's acquisition proposal. He hadn't yet made up his mind to fully expose the Thousand Forging Technique to the light of day. After all, the impact would be far too great, potentially even reshaping the landscape of Douluo Continent.

Ye Sen's refusal unsurprisingly deepened Fan Yu's suspicions.

He had always been skeptical about why Ye Sen, a top genius who followed the pure Soul Master path, would spend so much time on forging.

If it were truly just about honing his hammer techniques and forging his body, he wouldn't have insisted on buying rare metals during the last transaction, nor would he have refused to accept commissions for forging and refining rare metals for the Soul Guidance System.

Moreover, he always looked exhausted when he left after forging.

Fan Yu had always been suspicious of this, and his proposal to acquire the rare metals that Ye Sen had forged was also an attempt to find clues from this direction.

But Yesen actually rejected his acquisition proposal and dared not take out the rare metals he had forged!

This immediately made Fan Yu suspect that there might be some unknown trickery involved in the rare metals he had forged.

Ye Sen said, "Director Fan, if the Soul Guidance Department is unwilling to sell rare metals to me, I can go to Shrek City to buy them from other merchant guilds."

Fan Yu immediately replied, "Sell? I didn't say I wouldn't sell. Which rare metal do you want to buy? How much do you want?"

To avoid arousing Ye Sen's suspicion too much, he didn't ask directly. There was plenty of time in the future; he could take his time. As long as he knew that the rare metal Ye Sen was forging must have a secret, he would eventually have the opportunity to uncover the truth.

Ye Sen took out the 100,000 gold soul coins that Chen Zifeng had given him, and then took out a list, saying, "I have written down the types and weights. Prepare according to this list."

Fan Yu took a look at it, then quickly nodded and said, "The academy has all of these rare metals in its inventory. Wait a moment, I'll gather them all for you soon."

"it is good."

Ye Sen nodded.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fan Yu had gathered all the rare metals he needed.

This time, he purchased twenty kinds of rare metals, totaling two tons, with an average price of about fifty gold soul coins per kilogram, which is two and a half times higher than the last time.

In terms of variety, more than half of the rare metals he purchased this time were varieties he had never encountered before.

If one attempts to forge a thousand pieces of wood without understanding its inherent properties, the failure rate will be high, leading to significant economic losses.

However, Ye Sen had already prepared for the losses. He knew that to become a truly top-notch blacksmith, simply knowing how to forge a few rare metals was far from enough to attempt to break through to higher levels of forging.

One must be open-minded and learn as much as possible about the properties and characteristics of various rare metals, constantly increasing one's own foundation, so that in the future one may be able to challenge spirit forging, fusion forging, soul forging, and even the ultimate heaven forging!
