To capture the Metal Tower's attention, most blacksmiths showcase their creations on the tower's first floor, which also serves as an open marketplace. However, despite the abundance of talented blacksmiths, only about ten individuals gain the Metal Tower's recognition every few hundred years.
"I've been selling my creations here for about a hundred years now," the man said. "In all that time, I've only seen three people be recognized by the Metal Tower. But let me tell you, being recognized doesn't mean you'll be accepted—that's an entirely different matter."
"I see. Thank you for the information," Yuan said to the man.
He left shortly after and began roaming the first floor, examining all of the stores available.
