Chapter 1519 Divine Blacksmith

1519 Divine Blacksmith

"E-Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic? Are you suggesting a connection between me and that enigmatic figure? What led you to such a conclusion?" Zi Xuan swiftly retorted, her innocence a well-crafted facade.

"So you're not the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic? How did you acquire that material, then? I can remember and identify any material I've seen once, and that piece of Cold Stellar Iron was stolen from Gu Guming a few years ago." Tian Qiyuan spoke in a calm voice.

"Is that so? I had no idea. I acquired this from the black market last month. So it was stolen by the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic, huh? A fascinating revelation, but does it truly matter where it originated? It's in your possession now." Zi Xuan's words flowed as smoothly as her breath.

Seeing how stubborn she was to keep her identity a secret, Tian Qiyuan no longer tried to expose her and said, "You're right. It doesn't matter where it came from."

Zi Xuan was slightly taken aback by how readily he accepted the situation. She was certain that he had a strict policy against accepting stolen materials, a rule that would have challenged her persuasive skills. But she was relieved that it wasn't the case.

"You're a lot more open-minded than I'd anticipated. I know many blacksmiths who would not craft anything with materials acquired through unethical means," she expressed her surprise.

"Would you rather I not accept the material, then? It's not like I don't have any standards or pride. I obviously won't steal anything myself, but how another individual acquires their material is none of my business. Of course, I'm not encouraging such actions, either. Moreover, how can one tell for sure their material wasn't acquired through unethical means?"

In the cultivation world, where the pursuit of power and longevity often led to questionable ethics, murder was a common occurrence. Given this, Tian Qiyuan's acceptance of the stolen material was hardly unusual. For him, it was just another aspect of the cutthroat world he lived in.

"Anyway, what kind of sword do you want this time?" Tian Qiyuan asked.
