1305 Potential Allies, We Won’t Know Until We Talk (1)
“Your Highness, all the materials have been inventoried. You brought back a total of 356 million kilograms and 74,000 types of forging materials this time…” a forger respectfully reported to Zhou Shu while handing over the book in his hand.

This forger’s admiration for Zhou Shu was like a surging river.

How many days had it been since Zhou Shu obtained the mountain of forging materials from the Grotto-Heaven Masters?

They had originally thought that the forging materials were enough for them to use for decades.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Zhou Shu brought back another batch of forging materials.

And the quantity this time was even greater than the last time!

They had already inventoried so many forging materials for several days. They really didn’t know how Zhou Shu had obtained so many.

Zhou Shu nodded. “I understand. Has Deputy Pavilion Master Shi come out of seclusion?”

After Shi Songtao obtained the refining insights Zhou Shu had given him, his forging skills had broken through, and he had gone into seclusion to try to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon. If he could succeed, he would be the second forger in the Huaxia Pavilion who could forge grotto-heaven divine weapons.

The current Huaxia Pavilion was almost the holy land of all human forgers.

Or rather, most of the human forgers were in the Huaxia Pavilion now.

There were already many forgers who could forge connate divine weapons, but Zhou Shu was the only one who could forge grotto-heaven divine weapons.

This wasn’t because Zhou Shu was hiding his forging techniques but because forging grotto-heaven divine weapons was too demanding on individuals.

“Not yet,” the forger said. “But Deputy Pavilion Master Shi is very confident. I don’t think there will be any problems.”

The forger looked envious.

To the forgers of the Huaxia Pavilion, successfully forging grotto-heaven divine weapons was their dream.

Now, Shi Songtao had already crossed the threshold, but he didn’t know when he would be able to achieve it.

“You have to work harder and strive to be able to forge grotto-heaven divine weapons as soon as possible.” Zhou Shu glanced at the forger. “The things I obtained from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom will be placed in the Huaxia Pavilion’s Book Depository. Anyone can exchange them with points.”

The forger was overjoyed. The Huaxia Pavilion’s points system was what attracted all the forgers to join.

As long as one had points, in the Huaxia Pavilion, they could exchange for forging techniques, Martial Dao cultivation techniques, and even Zhou Shu’s personal lessons.

There were also many ways to obtain points. In the Huaxia Pavilion, as long as one was willing to work, they could obtain points.

Here, everyone had the chance to improve. Forging techniques and cultivation techniques were no longer something that only others could master.

In Zhou Shu’s words, people’s fates were in their hands.

The forger reporting to Zhou Shu had joined when he was a Forging Apprentice. In the Huaxia Pavilion, he had learned the forging skills of Forging Masters and became a Forging Master with his own efforts.

He was a beneficiary of the Huaxia Pavilion’s points system.

If not for the Huaxia Pavilion, he might have only been a Forging Apprentice for the rest of his life, including his descendants.

After all, without a legacy, it was almost impossible for a Forging Apprentice to become a true forger.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” The forger fell to his knees and kowtowed a few times. Then without waiting for Zhou Shu to say anything, he stood up and left.

After leaving Zhou Shu’s room, tears fell from his eyes.

The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly as he shook his head. Why is he kowtowing to me for no reason?

Didn’t I say that the Huaxia Pavilion doesn’t have such rules? Men have gold under their knees. They can kneel to the heavens, kneel to the earth, and kneel to their parents, teachers, and seniors. There’s no need to kneel to anyone else.

More than three hundred million kilograms… There must be more than this amount of materials in the huge Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Looks like there is still potential to squeeze them dry…

But Zhou Shu had just returned from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao were probably in a fit of anger.

In a short period of time, even if he went again, he probably wouldn’t be able to find an opportunity to trick them again.

Although there’s a spatial rift between the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom and the ancestral land, the spatial rift is extremely unstable. An army definitely can’t pass through.

But it’s very likely that one or two experts will pass.
But unless Zhan Jingtao comes personally, there’s nothing to worry about.

Zhou Shu had already crossed the threshold of the Nomological realm. He wasn’t afraid of ordinary experts from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

Moreover, due to the war in the Demon Realm, he was constantly receiving benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon. His strength was increasing at every moment, and he could become a true Nomological realm expert at any time.

Apart from the Black Emperor, the only person Zhou Shu was afraid of in the entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was Zhan Jingtao.

As for the others, there was nothing to fear.

But the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom will definitely try to open a stable passageway. The heavens of the ancestral land have already been mended once. Once it’s torn again, it won’t be so easy to mend again.

Zhou Shu frowned in thought.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside.

“Your Highness, have you come out of seclusion?” Mu Zhixing’s voice came. “I have something to tell you.”
