The seed of a master craftsman!

Seeing Xu Wanying staring at him eagerly, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "The iron defense armor is with your brother; you can go get it if you want to see it."

"Thank you!"

Xu Wanying was very happy and ran to Xu Shaochan in a few steps, snatching the iron defense armor from his hand.

Like Wei Han, Xu Shaochan seemed completely oblivious, immersed in the ingenious thought process Jiang Xuan used to refine the iron defense armor.

Xu Wanying held the iron defense armor with her fair, tender hands, her snow-white Face showing a pair of serious, large eyes, as she channeled tendrils of Qi into the iron defense armor.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan was surprised.

He hadn't expected that Xu Wanying was also a Martial Master.

"She's already a Martial Master, so why does it still take her three years to advance from Artisan Apprentice to Junior Artisan?"

Jiang Xuan found it somewhat incomprehensible, but he didn't ask aloud.

Xu Wanying's delicate body trembled slightly, her originally sparkling eyes became dull and lifeless, and she stood motionless, holding the iron defense armor in her hands.

Two streams of crimson nosebleed flowed over her snow-white skin, looking somewhat shocking.

Jiang Xuan was startled at the sight. What was going on?

He instinctively looked at Xu Shaochan and Wei Han, these two Intermediate Artisans, but saw that they were still in a state of complete absorption, seemingly having forgotten themselves and the real world.

Jiang Xuan could only helplessly say,

"Xu Shaochan, your sister is bleeding from her nose..."

His voice wasn't loud, but he deliberately controlled it to reach Xu Shaochan's ears.

Xu Shaochan suddenly jolted, as if his mind returned to reality. He first looked at Jiang Xuan with extreme disbelief, then turned to his sister and said,

"It's nothing. It's just that your level of crafting artisan items, Jiang Xuan, is too high. With her Artisan Apprentice skill, when she tried to analyze your crafting method for the iron defense armor, she couldn't understand it, which caused her mind to become disoriented."

Jiang Xuan was somewhat speechless and said,

"Is it really nothing if her mind is disoriented? She's bleeding from her nose."

Xu Shaochan nodded and said,

"Yes, it's nothing serious. In fact, it's good for her. However, she might be in a daze for a while."

He seemed completely unwilling to discuss his sister further and immediately continued,

"But you, Jiang Xuan, honestly, I want to cling to your leg right now. Is it too late? If you lack money or crafting Materials or anything, just tell me, and I'll provide everything!"

His words sounded like a joke, but both his tone and expression were exceptionally serious, not at all like he was jesting.

Wei Han suddenly sobered up, his Face full of wariness, and said,

"Xu Shaochan, what are you trying to do? Jiang Xuan is from our House of Heavenly Craftsmanship in Lei City. Also, I interviewed him, so he's considered to be from my Master's lineage."

Xu Shaochan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of cunning, and said,

"Has he taken you as his Master? If not, what are you talking about!"

After saying that, he immediately turned to Jiang Xuan, his Face showing the expression of someone who had discovered a peerless Prodigy, and said,

"Right, speaking of which, Jiang Xuan, why don't you come with me to Haihuang City now? My Master is there; he's a Grandmaster Craftsman. If I introduce you to him, he'll probably take you as his personal Disciple immediately!"

Jiang Xuan was stunned at his words. Xu Shaochan's Master? A Grandmaster Craftsman?

A Grandmaster Craftsman was someone even a Martial Emperor would treat with utmost respect, someone who could completely serve as a powerful backer!

But just then, a sinister yet extremely harsh voice came from the doorway.

"Young Master Xu, are you sure you want to introduce this kid to Elder Yun? If you really introduce him, Elder Yun might confine you for a few months, haha!"

This voice was all too familiar to Jiang Xuan; it was Hai Tongtian.

He turned to look and saw Hai Tongtian, whose skin was as white as dry ice, entering the Craftsman House with two bodyguards.

Being from Haihuang City, Xu Shaochan obviously knew Hai Tongtian, but the moment he saw Hai Tongtian, a subtle hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. His expression, however, remained calm as he said,

"Hai Tongtian, what are you doing here?"

Hai Tongtian smiled and said,

"Nothing, just came to see if there are any suitable artisan items. What, Young Master Xu, do you not welcome me?"

Xu Shaochan neither admitted nor denied it. In fact, if it weren't for the Face of Hai Tongtian's grandfather, who was the City Lord of Haihuang City, someone of Hai Tongtian's status wouldn't even be qualified to speak with him.

"If you want to buy, then buy. This is Wei Han's territory anyway, and I can't control you."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered Hai Tongtian's initial words and asked,

"By the way, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Hai Tongtian smiled gleefully and said,

"Nothing much, it's just that this kid, Jiang Xuan, once consumed a blood god fruit."

"What?!!!"

Xu Shaochan immediately lost his composure. With a flash, he appeared before Jiang Xuan, grabbing his shoulders, so agitated by regret that he could barely control himself:

"You, are you stupid?! You have a certain chance of becoming a Grandmaster Craftsman in the future! You, why did you eat a blood god fruit?!"

Jiang Xuan's shoulders hurt from his grip, but he knew the other person was feeling regret for him, so he wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said,

"It's fine, it doesn't really affect anything."

Xu Shaochan became even more agitated:

"How can it not affect anything! A Junior Artisan needs at least 10,000 qi and blood value, an Intermediate Artisan needs 100,000, and so on. You'd need 10 million qi and blood value to become a Grandmaster Craftsman, but now your qi and blood value can only ever be fixed at 10,000!"

Wei Han frowned at this point and said,

"Old Xu, don't get too excited. Let him go first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaochan realized his impropriety and quickly let go of his hands, letting out a long, deep sigh.

"What a pity, what a pity, such a great pity! Oh, what a pity! Why did you eat the blood god fruit!"

Seeing Xu Shaochan in this state, Wei Han also felt very uncomfortable, sharing the same extreme regret for Jiang Xuan.

Because to become an Artisan Apprentice, the necessary condition is to have the talent for crafting artisan items. As for a Junior Artisan, that means having more outstanding talent.

But from Intermediate Artisan upwards, a certain degree of innovation and Comprehension Ability is required.

And Grandmaster Craftsmen are all individuals who are extremely innovative, possess extremely high Comprehension Ability, and of course, extremely high talent!

Among these, innovation is the most important.

And what innovation means, Jiang Xuan had already demonstrated very clearly.

He was able to directly make comprehensive changes based on the iron defense armor blueprint, resulting in an iron defense armor with better performance. This is a form of innovation!

The vast majority of Artisans lack innovation, which makes it almost impossible for them to become Grandmaster Craftsmen.

It's not that they don't dare to try to make changes, but rather that every time they try, they fail, completely unable to succeed in one go like Jiang Xuan.

"The only way to eliminate the hidden danger of the blood god fruit is the hengyu star birth crystal, but that thing is incredibly rare..."
