ALL NOVEL Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Forging Weapons
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the Underground Alliance Mall, Zhou Hao did not return to Yang Garden Residence. Instead, he arrived at the Martial Artist Union Building.
The accident that happened when he was selling the materials was only a small interlude to him. The only reason why he supported Qiao Ying’er was because she had stood up for him despite the desperate pressure.
Such a hardworking person was indeed worthy of his help.
Standing in front of the glass revolving door and looking at the imposing tall building, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in his heart. The Martial Artist Union sure is rich.
Although the Martial Artist Union was far inferior to the Underground Alliance Mall in terms of materials acquisition and weapon manufacturing, its cultivation techniques, combat techniques, and medicinal pills were far superior to the Underground Alliance Mall.
Zhou Hao had rushed here not only to forge a special weapon, but also to buy a cultivation technique to advance his blood essence and learn secret techniques.
After all, he was now carrying a huge sum of more than 50 million yuan. It would be a waste for him to just keep it with him, so he might as well take the opportunity to increase his strength.

Seeing the surrounding martial artists enter and leave, he did not hesitate to walk into the revolving door.

As soon as Zhou Hao entered the glass revolving door, the two scanning devices above immediately started scanning.
“Di! You have reached the required strength to be classified as a martial artist. Welcome to the Martial Artist Union!”
An electronic female voice sounded.
The Martial Artist Union was much more stricter when it came to security than the Underground Alliance. One needed to have the strength of a martial artist just to enter the building.

There were not many people in the spacious hall on the first floor. There was a reception desk on the left, and a spiral glass elevator on the right.
Zhou Hao walked to the front desk.
The beautiful uniformed attendant at the desk smiled and said, “Sir, how can I help you?”
“I want to buy cultivation techniques and secret techniques. I also need to forge a weapon…” he said in a low voice.
“The cultivation techniques and secret techniques are sold on the 15th floor and you can find the facilities for weapon forging on the 8th floor. Sir, please note that in order to forge weapons or buy cultivation techniques, you will first have to join the Martial Artist Union,” the female attendant said with a smile.
Zhou Hao couldn’t help frowning. He had long heard that the Martial Artist Union had strict policies. Now, it seemed that the rumors were true.
When the female service staff saw Zhou Hao’s reaction, she hurriedly said, “Sir, don’t worry. The Martial Artist Union has very few restrictions on its members. In addition, member registration will only require you to provide some basic information.”
Zhou Hao still frowned. “Do I need to verify my citizen identity?”
He did not want his identity to be leaked.
The attendant continued, “Not if you only want to buy some ordinary cultivation techniques and forge weapons. However, if you want to buy high-level cultivation techniques or secret techniques, you will need union contribution points, and that would require your citizen identity information.”
Zhou Hao understood.
Without a doubt, the Martial Artist Union was selective when it came to selling to outsiders.
However, thinking about it, it was understandable. After all, to martial artists, cultivation techniques and secret techniques were far more important than other resources.
“Where can I register?”
“There’s a special counter on the 2nd floor.”
Zhou Hao immediately went to the 2nd floor and easily found the counter.
Just as the attendant said, the union member registration procedure was indeed very simple. Zhou Hao only needed to test his strength and input some basic information. He did not have to verify his identity at all.
Zhou Hao used a fake name and obtained his member identification card. Then, he took the elevator to the 8th floor.

His red armor had been changed before he entered to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
Zhou Hao, who was now in black armor, arrived at a weapon workshop.
“Sir, are you here to forge a weapon?” a man with a beard asked with a smile.
“Yes, I want to forge a saber.” As Zhou Hao spoke, he took out the materials he obtained from the Blue Horn Blood Wolf and the Single-Horned Rhino Tyrant.

The bearded shopkeeper swept his gaze over and said with a smile, “These two materials are both high-level general-level material. If you work with some metal ores and other materials, you should be able to forge a king-level saber.”
Zhou Hao nodded. A king-level saber was temporarily good enough for him.
“How long will it take?” he asked.
“Two days will do, but the manufacturing fee and additional materials won’t be cheap. It’ll cost about 4 million…” the bearded shopkeeper said hesitantly.
Zhou Hao said directly, “Sure.”
The bearded shopkeeper couldn’t help but say happily, “Alright, Sir. You can just use your member identification card. When the weapon is completed, you will get a notification from your card. After that, you can just come by to collect the goods and pay.”
Zhou Hao wasn’t afraid that the shopkeeper would cheat him of his materials. The Martial Artist Union had strict policies, especially for the shopkeepers. If the shopkeepers were to secretly steal materials from their customers, they would be caught by the Martial Artist Union in a short period of time.
Even if they weren’t caught, the Martial Artist Union would still fully compensate the members for their losses.
After that, Zhou Hao arrived at the 15th floor.
As he was an outer member, he could only buy ordinary cultivation techniques and secret arts. But even so, the techniques he could buy here were still much stronger than the basic cultivation techniques in the school.
However, there were just too many ordinary cultivation techniques and secret techniques to choose from. Looking at the choices, Zhou Hao felt overwhelmed.
After browsing for more than 10 minutes, he decided to buy a blood essence advancing cultivation technique—Blood Transformation Art.
The name was rather sinister, but this was a relatively ordinary blood essence cultivation technique.
Apart from cultivation techniques, he also bought a secret saber technique—Shadow Saber Stance.
Just one cultivation technique and one secret technique had cost him more than 6 million. Zhou Hao only recovered from the heartache he felt for spending so much money when he left the Martial Artist Union.
And that was only the price for the two techniques. Adding up the fees from weapon forging, he had spent a total of 10..3 million.
