Zhou Yan leveled up Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, and Qi Wu Huai Wen to level 80, then opened Gan Jiang's status to check his attributes.
[Name: Gan Jiang]
[Quality: RRR]
...
[Profession: None]
[Talent: Forging]
[Forging Level: None]
[Skills: Husband and Wife Unity (Special Skill: When together with Mo Xie, forging speed, quality, comprehension, and growth rate will double! Various consumptions will be halved.); Forging (Greatly enhances forging speed); Master Craftsman (Improves comprehension of forging); Sword Forging (Provides additional forging bonuses when forging sword-type weapons); Male and Female (Can independently research and forge male and female type weapons); Spirit Imbuement (Has a certain chance to imbue weapons of Spirit Artifact grade and above with a soul)...]
Zhou Yan was utterly astonished upon seeing Gan Jiang's attributes!
"Holy crap! This is too damn awesome!"
The effect when Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were together was so significant, and there was even a special skill, a rare husband and wife skill. This was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Zhou Yan quickly looked at Mo Xie's attributes.
[Name: Mo Xie]
[Quality: RRR]
...
[Profession: None]
[Talent: Support]
[Skills: Husband and Wife Unity (Special Skill: When together with Gan Jiang, Gan Jiang's forging speed, quality, comprehension, and growth rate will double! Various consumptions will be halved.); Recovery (Can restore the other party's stamina consumption); Comprehension (Increases the other party's comprehension ability); Keen Mind (Reduces the other party's mental consumption); Dexterous Hands (Can help others solve various difficult problems); Sacrifice (Sacrifices oneself to upgrade an equipment's quality by one level)...]
Seeing Mo Xie's skills, Zhou Yan was also greatly shocked. He hadn't expected Mo Xie's skills to be so powerful, and that she was also a strong support. With such a wife, Gan Jiang's forging skill would surely skyrocket.
"Very good, you two work hard from now on. This Lord will reward you with a separate house and allow you to live a happy life together," Zhou Yan said to them.
"Thank you, Lord!" Gan Jiang and Mo Xie quickly thanked Zhou Yan.
Having summoned two top-tier blacksmiths, Zhou Yan was still not satisfied and continued to summon.
[Hall of Heroes] Notification: "Soul Coins - One Million, summoned forging talent, Ouyang Zi!"
Zhou Yan was shocked upon hearing this. "Holy crap! The progenitor of sword forging has appeared."
Looking at the man who appeared, Zhou Yan was extremely surprised! He hadn't expected to summon someone of this caliber, which made him very happy. Ouyang Zi was Gan Jiang's master, and Mo Xie was Ouyang Zi's daughter. Unfortunately, all three of them were now the same age. This sort of thing had also happened with Meng Ao's family, so he was used to it.
"Ouyang Zi pays his respects to the Lord," Ouyang Zi said, bowing to Zhou Yan with great composure.
"Good, good, good." Zhou Yan was truly delighted to have summoned the progenitor of sword forging, Ouyang Zi. Ouyang Zi was indeed a remarkable talent. Five of the ten famous swords were forged by Ouyang Zi: Tai'e, Chun Jun, Seven Star Dragon Abyss, Zhan Lu, and Fish Gut Sword. In addition, the Chun Jun Sword, Sheng Xie Sword, Ju Que Sword, and Gong Bu Sword were also famous swords from Ouyang Zi's hands. The Seven Star Dragon Abyss was later renamed Dragon Spring Sword. Zhou Yan even remembered an anime about the Dragon Spring Sword. Among them, Zhan Lu was hailed as the foremost famous sword in the world. Legend had it that when the Zhan Lu sword was forged, "its brilliant light pierced the heavens, the sun and moon competed in radiance, the stars avoided its might, and spirits wailed in sorrow," demonstrating the immense power of this divine weapon. Crucially, the Zhan Lu sword had a long history, passed down from the King of Yue to the King of Wu, then to the famous Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui, and finally obtained by Yue Fei. This clearly showed the prowess of this legendary sword. With such a master of sword forging in his territory, Zhou Yan no longer feared a lack of high-quality weaponry.
Zhou Yan began to examine Ouyang Zi's attributes.
[Name: Ouyang Zi]
[Quality: ???]

[Profession: None]
[Talent: Artifact Forging]
[Forging Level: Master]
[Skills: Progenitor of Sword Forging (Greatly enhances the quality of sword-type weapons when forged); Forging (Greatly reduces forging time); Artifact Forging (Reduces various consumptions); Divine Weapon (Swords forged are guaranteed to be divine weapons); Unity (When forging swords with Gan Jiang, greatly enhances the weapon's various attributes); Spirituality (Has a chance to trigger weapon spirituality when forging Saint Artifact grade weapons and above); Material Knowledge (Is familiar with any material in the world); Peerless (Randomly increases base attribute points for each divine weapon forged); Guidance (Can guide others, improving the skill level of other blacksmiths)...]
[Introduction: The progenitor of sword forging, whose series of renowned swords are unparalleled in China, possesses the title "Grandmaster of Sword Forging."]
Zhou Yan had thought the other blacksmiths were already incredibly capable, but upon seeing Ouyang Zi's attributes, he was once again struck with shock. The quality was marked with question marks! While others needed to progress from the lowest forging level, Ouyang Zi's forging level was directly Master! Starting at Master level, Ouyang Zi was truly a divine blacksmith! This was fantastic! Furthermore, Ouyang Zi was also someone who came with a title. Currently, there were only a few people in the territory with titles: himself, Meng Tian, Needle God Xue Lingyun, and now Ouyang Zi. Zhou Yan didn't know what to say. If Jerry hadn't been in the territory for so long, Zhou Yan would have wanted Ouyang Zi to directly manage all the blacksmiths. Zhou Yan continued to examine the strength of Ouyang Zi's title.

After reading it, Zhou Yan was extremely surprised. He hadn't expected this title to be so powerful and effective. Although it was slightly weaker than his own divine title, it was still an excellent title. Zhou Yan was overjoyed and immediately maxed out Ouyang Zi's level. Such a divine blacksmith had to be at max level.
Having summoned three top-tier blacksmiths, Zhou Yan still chose to continue summoning.
[Hall of Heroes] Notification: "Soul Coins - One Million, summoned forging talent, Pu Yuan!"
"Pu Yuan?" Zhou Yan wasn't very familiar with him. After looking at his detailed information, he found out that Pu Yuan was someone who forged weapons for Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. While he was quite good, he wasn't very famous.
