"Haha, I have offended many people earlier, please do not take offense to it, Master." Smiling faintly, Han Ming bowed once more to Situ Sheng.

"Oh?" Why do you call me Master now? " Hearing the change in how Han Ming addressed him, Situ Sheng smiled and asked with interest.

"Hehe, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I do have a master, but I don't have one to chase after. There were only a few otherworldly experts who were this exaggerated. In other words, if I am in trouble, Master will definitely help me. "

After pausing for a moment, Han Ming continued, "Being able to acknowledge the world's number one grandmaster blacksmith as his master is the dream of many people. How could I be so untactful?"

"It's just that, Master, you should be able to understand. After all, my surname is Han. If there is any activity between the two families in the future, my identity would become very awkward and I would be forced to take action."

Playing with his long beard, Situ Sheng smiled and said, "Such a young age, your considerations are quite thorough." However, this old man likes it. "Since I have chosen this path of cultivation that is filled with bloodshed and bloodshed, I must ensure that I am still alive at all times. Otherwise, all of this would just be empty talk."

"Han Tie Shan sent you here this time as a lobbyist, right?"

"Master is indeed insightful!" Indeed, this is the reason for this trip. " The Daoist Master did not lie in front of him, and spoke straightforwardly.

"I presume that Master has already heard of the Han and Fang Families' matter. The situation had to be forced, and the Fang family had to come again and again. If the Han family didn't return the favor, then the Han family would be the one to be wiped out. People like me who are born into the Shu race, I'm afraid they will all be exterminated. "

"However, the patriarch didn't have too much hope. He only wished to be on good terms with the Situ Family and live in peace with them. It's obviously not realistic enough for us to be allies. "

After speaking, Han Ming turned his gaze onto Situ Sheng, waiting for his reply.

Although Situ Sheng had already made up his mind and discussed some countermeasures with the clan leader, now that Han Ming had taken the initiative to speak, he had to think about it carefully.

After a moment of silence, Situ Sheng slowly said, "My Situ Family means that if the Han Family can become a servant of the Situ Family, then we will be a family. No matter what happens, my Situ Family will protect us!"

"This, I'm afraid Han Ming won't be able to make a decision easily. After all, when the Patriarch came, he did not give me the authority to do so. However, the Patriarch had once mentioned something to Han Ming, which was the Nine Family Ranking Tournament. It was said that these nine great families would rearrange their positions and resources between the nine great families once every thousand years. It is related to the glory between the nine great families. "

"If the Situ Family can speak good words for the Han Family and fully operate the system, allowing our Han Family to participate in the ranking tournament, we will repay you for what you've done!" Han Ming said word by word.

After stroking his beard, Situ Sheng pondered for a moment before asking with some interest, "Oh?" There must be a heavy debt of gratitude? I wonder what kind of gift this Han family can bring out? "

Seeing Situ Sheng's bright eyes, Han Ming smiled and said, "Soul veins!"

"What?" "Soul veins!" The ecstasy in Situ Sheng's heart couldn't be hidden as he spoke.

Then, he calmed himself down and slowly continued, "It seems that the Han Family truly does have soul veins. It could be said that he, Han Tieshan, was generous enough to actually use his soul veins as a lobbyist's gift! "

Seeing the ecstatic look in Situ Sheng's eyes, Han Ming knew that he was almost done in, so he added, "Master understands wrongly, haha." Actually, our Han family doesn't have any soul veins. The reason why the Fang family attacked the Han family many times was because we mistakenly thought that this information was true. However, the source of all these rumors is only one family, and that is the He family. "

"This place is three hundred thousand taels of silver, the true location of the soul veins is the He Clan!"

"He Clan …" Hearing the name of the clan, Situ Sheng's face was filled with anger, he was obviously unspeakably infuriated.

When Han Ming had departed from the Han family, Han Tieshan had told them that the hatred between the Situ and He Clans was much deeper than that between the Han Clans. It could be described as absolutely irreconcilable! In these past few years, the Situ Family had continuously befriended the Han Family. According to the Han Iron Mountain's conjecture, most likely, they wanted to use this kind of good relationship to transport all the soldiers and cultivators to the border of the He Family's territory in order to carry out a large-scale attack. After all, the area between the He and Situ Families was the Han Family.

"Also, Patriarch said that if the Situ Family can help the Han Family to successfully enter the Ranking Tournament, the Han Family will spare no effort to help the Situ Family and destroy the He Family! Moreover, present the He Family's soul veins! " The expression on Situ Sheng's face was clearly seen by Han Ying Ying.

"Heh heh, that was a good plan!" However, after our Situ Family obliterates the He Family, we will naturally obtain a soul vein. This can't be considered a gift. " The corners of his mouth slightly raised, Situ Sheng disdainfully said.

"These are all things that the Situ Family needs to consider. If you allow the Fang Family to do whatever they want and even ride on the head of the Situ Family during the ranking tournament, you, Master, can simply ignore the Han Family's suggestion." To negotiate, one needed to be neither humble nor arrogant. Even if the one sitting in front of Han Ming was a top-notch expert of the Heavenly Soul Realm, Han Ming was not afraid.

"Of course, if the Situ Family agrees, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Han Family to successfully enter the ranking tournament. The patriarch had told them that the Situ Family was the head of one of the ten great families and had irreplaceable prestige. As such, they would have to rely on the Situ Family for operational matters! "As long as the Han Family can provide the materials and support they need, they will definitely give it their all!"

"Hehe, little brat, I have to say, you have successfully moved this old man! But even though this old man is an elder, this matter isn't something that I can decide alone. "Tell me first, how many helpers have we found in the Frigid Iron Mountain?" Determination flashed in his eyes as Situ Sheng lightly said.

"The Fang Clan has been defeated by the Han Clan, and is now their vassal. The Grand Elder and the clan head are both in our hands. Therefore, the Fang Clan is one." There was also the Situ Family. Including the Situ Family, only seventy percent of the Han Family had that much support. As for the Ouyang Family, they were still operating, but they didn't know what was going on yet. If Master can get two more families to support him, that would be enough! " Han Ming said lightly.

Hearing Han Ming's reply, Situ Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha!" What a great Cold Iron Mountain! There are only two, yet you're already thinking of entering the ranking competition? This is too arrogant! "

"It's called doing things by hand!" Han Ming chuckled and did not explain any further.

"What a good man!" Kid, I will remember this matter! Tomorrow, I will go see the Patriarch and convene a meeting of elders to discuss this matter properly. Seeing Han Ming's confident look, Situ Sheng was in high spirits, and he laughed heartily as he spoke.

He had to admit that Han Ming really pleased him! That extreme calmness, that sharp insight, and that pride that dared to fight against the heavens all deeply pleased him. Needless to say, this kid had the Earth Core Fire with him. He was a Grade Five Alchemist!

"That... Master... Didn't you say just now that you wanted to teach me some skills? " Seeing that Situ Hong was about to leave, he spoke weakly.

"Hahaha!" Brat, you really don't want to suffer a loss even if you are beaten to death! "Alright!" Since you are this old man's disciple, this old man will teach you some skills! " Seeing the shameless chills, Situ Sheng became even more happy. This boy, he was exactly the same as when he was young!

In truth, between the ten great families, they all knew their own sects. If it were anyone else from the Situ Family, even if he was a rare genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years, they still wouldn't teach him a single thing! This was because his surname was not Situ! But Situ Sheng was an extremely outspoken and straightforward person. He'd never had anything to do with the concept of clan rules. When he was young, he was just a scoundrel. He fought the entire world and his good friends the entire world. Moreover, he had never been stingy in sharing his experiences and experiences with others. Although he had suffered before, it was because of his personality that he had become the world's number one grandmaster refiner! After all, there was a limit to what one could do in seclusion.

Therefore, to Han Ming, the young man with the Mysterious Sky and Earth Flame, he truly wanted to teach him his unique skill so that he could expand his skills. After all, the dream of an artificer was to be able to refine an Emperor level spirit artifact. Situ Sheng had spent all of his life refining a Profound level five spirit artifact, but he was still far from reaching the Emperor level. Furthermore, with his current smithing level, even if he were to enter the Profound Soul Stage in the future, it would not necessarily increase by much. Therefore, to him, an Emperor Grade spirit artifact was only a dream.

However, just as he thought that it would be impossible to achieve this in this lifetime, Han Ming appeared in front of him. He was so young, his training talent was so high, and he also possessed a terrifying 'Heavenly Flame' like the 'Earth Core Yuan Fire'. This was enough for him to see hope. However, this kid's monstrous talent wasn't only that, he didn't expect that this kid would actually be a Grade Five Alchemist!

Situ Sheng couldn't help but be wild with joy! Because he saw hope. Great hope! A level five alchemist had an incomparably pure technique for controlling fire. As long as he was able to master a metal-type cultivation method, he would definitely be able to leap up to become a level five weapons craftsman! And as his cultivation level increased, the technique for controlling fire would also continue to improve. In time, it was completely possible for it to surpass him!

Seeing Han Ming, Situ Sheng smiled and took out an ancient handwritten book, handing it over to Han Ming.

Taking the booklet, he took a closer look at it and almost drooled!

Metal-type cultivation technique! It turned out to be a metal-attribute cultivation technique! Moreover, it was at least an Emperor level!

The Emperor level cultivation technique that he had painstakingly searched for for for so long had actually been placed in front of him!
