sucking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t the regular fire-element foods enough for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thousands of blacksmiths in town rely on this vein for their livelihood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you suck it up, what will they use to forge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“…”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fireball Spell” pouted and reluctantly retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Just say it…”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“I didn’t even act.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Spike Spell,” watching from the side, snorted mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Hmph.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Always thinking about eating, no matter where you go.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Don’t you have any shame?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fireball Spell” shot a furious glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“What did you say?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Say it again?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Spike Spell” rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“I said you’re embarrassing.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“You hear that?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“If you didn’t hear me, I’ll say it again.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“You—”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo interrupted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outside, both of you, behave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master had spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both skills fell silent at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong, seeing Lin Mo’s thoughtful expression, continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The energy of this vein serves far more than just providing flame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To forge a truly superior piece of equipment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond temperature, you need energy infusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong gestured with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A top-tier blacksmith, when forging,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“doesn’t merely heat metal red-hot and hammer it into shape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True top-tier forging,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“requires infusing the purest elemental energy from heaven and earth into the internal structure of the equipment during the process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alongside his own blacksmithing technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the vein-fire is the perfect medium for this process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through countless hammer blows from the blacksmith, this energy becomes locked within the equipment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ultimately, when the equipment is complete, it forms various special attributes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special attributes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sharply caught the keyword, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The equipment forged here carries special attributes that gear dropped in dungeons doesn’t have.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many such attributes, and they’re powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll see when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong nodded and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is why the blacksmith profession holds such high status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The more skilled and top-tier the blacksmith, the stronger the special attributes they can forge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo looked out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Zuxing Town became the number one forging town in Longguo—ultimately, it’s all because of this vein.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t the same true for Qingyun Town under your Jianghai City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingyun Town has incredibly rich wild magic herb resources, so all the nation’s alchemists flock there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Similarly, all the nation’s blacksmiths come to Zuxing Town for the same reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was an industrial cluster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Zuxing Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was essentially a naturally formed mega-industrial cluster built around the vein’s energy—a top-tier natural resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vein’s energy was Zuxing Town’s core competitiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every top-tier blacksmith in the nation came here to pursue the best forging results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the concentration of top-tier blacksmiths drew even more upstream and downstream suppliers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuxing Town became, without question, the number one forging town in all of Longguo—and indeed, across the entire Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they talked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the business vehicle turned onto a side road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This road was much narrower than the main highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pavement was so smooth, it felt nearly vibration-free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On either side of the road, the rough blacksmith workshops gave way to private mansions with courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue bricks, black tiles, deep inner courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signs at the gates were all unobtrusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie slammed on the brakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here, Feng Lao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The car can’t go any further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three opened the car doors and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo surveyed the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pedestrian street paved with blue stone slabs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slabs beneath their feet were worn smooth and glossy, clearly aged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of their vision stood a tall blue stone archway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the archway hung a massive plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duan Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the archway stood a group of people, apparently waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s gaze swept along both sides of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Dark Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meteor Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hundred Weapons Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quenching Edge Mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, these names seemed far more prestigious than the shops outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Cangqiong stepped forward, with Yan Lie and Lin Mo following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie leaned closer to Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Mo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Thousand-Forged Street is the most elite forging street in Zhuxing Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nearly all of the nation’s top-tier forgers are gathered here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie nodded, gazing ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the very end of this street lies the headquarters of our nation’s Forge Master Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who can hang a sign here is almost certainly an S-rank or higher forge master—and all of them are high-grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded, watching the group standing beneath the gatehouse not far off, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, those people are the strongest forgers on this street?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie followed Lin Mo’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder at the front wore a dark gray robe, his hair and beard white, yet his spirit sharp and alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes radiated a piercing intensity that even the young dared not meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On either side of him stood several others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The man in the middle is Mo Qianjun—Master Mo, the nation’s number one forge master, the sole SSS-rank forge master, the Heavenly Artisan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie lowered his voice and quickly introduced to Lin Mo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The man on his left is Wei Yan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The thin one beside him is Xiao Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one with the goggles on his right is Lu Mingzhang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The woman beside him is Jiang Yunshang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The young girl with the ponytail behind Master Mo is Han Shuang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of them are Master Mo’s disciples—and among the strongest forgers in Zhuxing Town, aside from Master Mo himself. Every single one is an S-rank forge master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo listened, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All S-rank? Why did they all come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, Master Mo alone should’ve been enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did all his disciples show up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t they have work to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t forge masters always busy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Mo didn’t just recall all his disciples to assist you—he’s ordered the entire town to gather forging materials for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The materials for a Forbidden-tier exclusive weapon aren’t just Divine Casting Stone and one Legendary exclusive weapon—there are many others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some are nearly impossible to buy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, so do I have to go buy materials myself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo turned to Yan Lie, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry—I heard the town has already found everything. Everything’s complete, except for the Divine Casting Stone in your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing—otherwise this trip would’ve been pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Yan Lie sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Mo, honestly, I’ve never seen such a massive forge team mobilized like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never even heard of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo fell silent for two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… I’ve got quite the reputation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1177,"2026-06-21T04:41:50.524Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b2e5666dba808503ec81bdc1a9b8e3021997179cdb149c2a1ca62704c0c9acb7","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-329","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-327",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
