Amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, Su Mu followed Chen Yuntian away.
"To be personally taught the Treasure-Forge Art by the Master just half a year after entering the Workshop... Such an honor is surely unique to Blacksmith Su."
Watching the two depart, the old Blacksmith Zhao Lin sighed in amazement. He had entered the Forging Workshop at fifteen, apprenticed for five years before becoming a blacksmith, then spent another twenty years to advance to Blacksmith.
Zhao Lin was quite pleased with himself when he became a Blacksmith at forty, but now, compared to Su Mu, his old face flushed in embarrassment.
He, Zhao Lin, had been at the Forging Workshop for a full thirty years. When he was an apprentice, the previous Workshop Master was still alive. Of all he had seen in these three decades, Su Mu was the most monstrous talent.
Even the current Workshop Master, Wu Lie, had to endure ten years before being instructed in the Treasure-Forge Art by the Master.
