Zhang Jinghuai led Jiang Che to the front of a massive Weapon Forging Shop.

A group of bare-chested men were bustling about inside.

Another man used a pair of tongs to hold a newly shaped blade and plunged it into a pool of water to quench it.

A cloud of steam instantly billowed up, and the blade's red glow faded.
He picked it up, examined it, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
