Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised and felt pleasant.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. Our Ideal Island hopes that more strong people will be born! Only then will we have the strength and confidence to build an ideal country where everyone is equal.”
Wen Shuhong smiled. His smile shone with a youth’s spirit and the brilliance of an idealist.
At this moment, Lin Qiye’s favorable impression of Wen Shuhong had increased.
Just as the two of them were talking, the commoners entered the city under the guidance of the Platinum Practitioners.
“Alright, let’s go in! We can talk about other things after entering the city.”
Wen Shuhong let out a deep breath.
Thus, the two entered the city after registering their information at the entrance.
Star City was bustling with crowds.
More than a thousand medium-sized or even super-sized floating islands were scattered all over the place and hung high up in the sky.
The floating islands were full of greenery and vitality.
The villas were decorated with high mountains, meadows, and a sea of flowers. The scenery was as beautiful as a painting.
Each floating island could accommodate tens of thousands of residents. In other words, Star City had tens of millions of people or even billions.
It was much more prosperous compared to the hundred or so small floating islands in Li City.
Looking at the floating islands, Star City was indeed peaceful.
Of course, it was a different scene at night.
Lin Qiye swept across Star City.
“Captain Wen, what forces are there in Star City?”
Wen Shuhong raised his eyebrows. “There are four major forces in Star City. The Seven Cities Alliance Army, the Science and Technology Association, the Light and Shadow Group, and Ideal Island.
“The Seven Cities Alliance Army is a community of interests formed by seven clans. They are the local emperor of Star City and have six Diamond Practitioners. The strongest one is a Level Five Incarnation Realm.
“The Science and Technology Association is in every prosperous city. They are a terrifying group.
“The members are all freaks obsessed with science and technology. Some are proficient in forging weapons; some are proficient in refining pills, and some are proficient in formations.
“All in all, do not provoke this association. Their president, vice-president, and council members are all mysterious figures. Even the sons of the rich from Heavenly Court Island have to show them some respect.
“No one is willing to provoke them because all the main world’s practitioners probably have something to ask of them.”
Wen Shuhong was solemn.
He gave enough respect to the Science and Technology Association.
“As for the Light and Shadow Group, they are a sect. The God they worship is the Goddess of Light and Shadow. They are scattered across the southern cities. Their influence is decent, but their threat lies in the Goddess. It is illusory and unreal, causing people to be fearful.
“Finally, it’s our Ideal Island. We have taken root in 17 bustling cities and are considered a behemoth. We came to Star City three years ago. We have four Diamond Practitioners, 60 Platinum Practitioners, and 390 Gold Practitioners.
“When you grow up, there will be five of us! At that time, we will be able to build our ideal city.”
Wen Shuhong patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder.
He had high hopes for Lin Qiye.
After all, Lin Qiye was a transcendent monster who had the pure heart of a child and an ideal faith.
Lin Qiye was expressionless.
“The four major forces?
“The Seven Cities Alliance Army is the local emperor, and the Science and Technology Association has the deepest background. The Light and Shadow Group’s background is unpredictable. Ideal Island is new, and there are only four Diamond Practitioners.
“The foundation of Ideal Island is quite okay.”
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
“But are the prodigies of the Science and Technology Association willing to forge weapons for others? I want to upgrade my weapon to gold-tier.”
Wen Shuhong was puzzled.
“Wouldn’t it be fine to throw your silver-tier weapons? Why spend energy and money to upgrade their quality?”
Lin Qiye was silent. “Find a training ground, and I’ll explain it to you.”
“Now that you mention it, I’m a little curious. What kind of weapon is it that you can’t bear to part with it?”
Wen Shuhong raised his eyebrows.
He led Lin Qiye to his floating island.
They entered the training ground under the villa, where the surroundings were completely sealed off.
All eyes and ears were blocked outside.
Thus, Lin Qiye took out the Extreme Flame Ring Saber.
The slender blade emitted a blue glow. Although it was slightly curled, a fierce baleful aura and karma flowed on the blade.
There were even a few inexplicable purple lights that shone like stars.
Wen Shuhong was astonished.
“This… Is this really the quality that a silver-tier weapon can possess? It gave birth to the form of a Soul Weapon!”
Wen Shuhong was deep in thought.
“With this quality, it would be a waste to let a Platinum Level blacksmith forge it. However, you might not be able to afford a Diamond Level blacksmith.
“Moreover, the remuneration for a Diamond Level blacksmith is only one aspect. You also need to produce rare materials they are satisfied with. Even I might not get them to forge a weapon.”
Wen Shuhong was in a difficult situation.
Lin Qiye said, “I’ll just find a Platinum Level blacksmith.”
Wen Shuhong shook his head.
“That won’t do. If a weapon that has the potential to become a Soul Weapon is given to a Platinum Level blacksmith, there’s an 80% chance it will be destroyed. We have to get a Diamond Level blacksmith.
“Come with me. I’ll plead for you. Let’s see if those old geezers are willing.
“If they’re not willing, you can use a gold-tier or platinum-tier weapon first. When you have enough resources, you can then forge this weapon.”
