Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Zhang Yan and the others naturally dared not neglect the orders given by the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

Everyone was eager to get started.

They were preparing to forge a magical artifact that would earn the approval of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

"Ah!"

"This time, the Crimson Heavenly Lord insisted that what he had said must be used."

That way, there will be no loopholes to exploit.

"Will that person still be able to forge a high-grade third-tier magic weapon by then?"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Li Yuan stood next to Huang Lian and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Alright, Junior Brother Li, stop talking."

Huang Lian frowned slightly upon hearing the other person's words, even though he looked down on Zhang Yan.

But now I also find Li Yuan a bit noisy.

Huang Lian is a relatively pure weapon refiner.

He values ​​technology more.

In his opinion, Zhang Yan's strength was not that great.

But after all, it was a high-grade third-tier magic weapon that was successfully crafted.

And what about Li Yuan?

It's just a low-grade, third-tier magic weapon.

The difference between the two is enormous.

He really didn't know how Li Yuan had the nerve to talk about Zhang Yan behind his back.

"I'm just trying to get revenge for you."

Seeing that Huang Lian was somewhat annoyed, Huang Lian, who had just been spouting arrogant words, immediately gave an embarrassed smile.

"I don't need you to vent your anger for me this way."

"If you really think you're so great, then you can use the methods of a weapon refiner to defeat him. What you're saying now makes me think you're completely useless."

Huang Lian looked at Li Yuan and spoke without hesitation.

"This……"

Hearing Huang Lian's words.

Li Yuan instinctively wanted to get angry.

However, upon realizing that the speaker was Huang Lian, he couldn't help but suppress his anger.

no way……

Huang Lian was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Don’t say anything else.

Huang Lian himself came from the Huang family, a large and prestigious clan.

Moreover, the other party is a disciple of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

Moreover, they have already reached the threshold of forging fourth-tier magic weapons.

This is something he simply cannot handle.

I don't dare to get angry at all.

Not even a little bit!

even……

Even if someone insults him, he has to clap his hands and laugh, saying, "Well said! Well said!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, I also hope you can improve quickly so that we can have a good sparring session."

Huang Lian looked at Zhang Yan and said with a serious expression.

"it is good!"

"I will definitely ask Senior Brother Huang for advice when the time comes."

Hear this.

Zhang Yan nodded slightly.

This can be considered as acknowledging Huang Lian's words.

And immediately after.

He then left with his belongings, intending to forge a magical artifact.

In fact, what the Crimson Heavenly Lord said this time was very simple.

Most of them are refining techniques.

And at that time, the other party will also test the refining technique.

Rather than the grade of the magic weapon being crafted.

because……

From the other side's perspective, it doesn't matter what level of magic weapon these people create.

Anyway, she's not as tall as him.

That's why he paid even more attention to the refining techniques of these people.

As long as the refining technique is correct.

They learn quickly.

They have the potential to become high-level weapon refiners.

vice versa.

"Alright, I'll see what Junior Brother Zhang's skills are like then."

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Huang Lian also spoke up without hesitation.

"It's natural."

Zhang Yan chuckled; he was quite confident in his own weapon-refining skills.

Don’t say anything else.

He's at least better than Huang Lian, right?

It's not that he looks down on Huang Lian.

Rather, he looked down on all of them equally.

These people in front of him...

They're all the same.

It's all garbage.

Of course.

Although he thought this way, he didn't express it out loud.

After all, as the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face, and don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings."

He still had to give his fellow disciples some face.

Moreover, and most importantly, Huang Lian is a disciple of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

He's currently learning weapon crafting from the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

You have to give me face, right?

"Hmph, I hope you're not just being stubborn."

Huang Lian was naturally unaware of Zhang Yan's thoughts.

He just snorted coldly, then turned and left.

He wanted to see just how good Zhang Yan really was.

……

They watched as the other person left.

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then followed suit and left.

However, he did not return to his own residence.

Instead, they arrived at the weapon-refining workshop.

Then I found a weapon-forging room and started forging weapons.

The Crimson Heavenly Lord's lecture this time was very clear. He had thoroughly explained the techniques of weapon forging, instilling them in them bit by bit.

If you can't even learn this, then don't bother with weapon crafting.

Although there was no corresponding magic weapon entry, Zhang Yan made two mistakes when he was refining it.

Overall, however, the flaws did not outweigh the merits, and he quickly created a magical artifact.

This magic weapon is only a mid-grade third-tier item.

However, he was quite satisfied with it.

This is because this magical artifact perfectly utilizes the purification method explained by the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

Quality improvements have been made.

Normally, the materials used in this magic weapon should only be enough to refine a low-grade third-tier magic weapon.

However, after using the refining method of the Crimson Heavenly Lord, he actually managed to refine a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon.

This is what mentorship is all about.

This is a huge improvement.

"That's awesome!"

Zhang Yan sighed.

Somewhat unbelievable.

He had never imagined that the quality of a magical artifact could be improved through crafting techniques.

"No wonder the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord is so powerful!"

"No wonder the Divine Weapon Pavilion became one of the five great immortal sects in the Human Alliance..."

"He's definitely got something!"

Zhang Yan sighed.

have to say.

Those who become top sects all possess something special.

……

After he finished practicing with the magic weapon.

They then silently awaited the second lesson from the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

Time flies.

When the Crimson Heavenly Lord gave his second lesson.

Zhang Yan's keen observation...

The number of people is much smaller than before.

After making a few inquiries, I learned that those people were eliminated because they failed to refine magical artifacts using the purification method.

"It seems that the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord has very high standards!"

Zhang Yan chuckled, but it had nothing to do with him.

Regardless of whether Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord's requirements are high or low.

He can pass all of them.

On the contrary, when the temperature is higher, there will be fewer noisy flies.

For example, that Li Yuan...

Yes.

The Li Yuan I met last time is no longer qualified to attend the second lecture.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh at this kind of person.

They're really terrible.

The food was so bad, yet they still provoked him.

He had no idea what the other party's purpose was in doing this.

"Alright, last time we talked about the method of refinement, now you can show us your results."

The Crimson Heavenly Lord sat calmly in his chair, looking at everyone and speaking softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly took out their magical treasures.

The most outstanding of them all was a top-grade third-tier magic weapon crafted by Huang Lian.

After using the refinement method, I am now only one step away from the fourth rank.

This pleased the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord greatly.

He truly deserves to be called his disciple.

It can only be said that he was absolutely right in his judgment.

"what?"

Just as he was satisfied with the magic weapon Huang Lian had crafted.

Suddenly I saw the mid-grade third-tier magic weapon that Zhang Yan had crafted.
His eyes lit up.

He looked at Zhang Yan.

He chuckled softly, then said, "Not bad, you have talent!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Yan also chuckled.

The Crimson Heavenly Lord was indeed very surprised by the third-tier magic weapon that Zhang Yan had crafted.

It could even be described as utterly shocking.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Huang Lian also improved the quality of his own magic weapon.

But in fact, his improvement is completely different from Zhang Yan's improvement.

Don’t say anything else.

First of all, this was not Huang Lian's first time encountering the method of purification.

After all, he was the disciple of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

He had previously taught Huang Lian how to use the refining method.

This time, Huang Lian simply applied it in a more refined way.

But Zhang Yan is different!

This was the first time Zhang Yan had used the Refinement Method.

I've never had any contact with this before.

Even so, Zhang Yan still succeeded.

And it's not just about success.

The effect is very good.

Don’t say anything else.

Judging from the quality he improved, he is even more impressive than Huang Lian.

If Huang Lian used the refining method, he improved the quality of the magic weapon by one-tenth.

So Zhang Yan used the refining method to improve the quality by one-third.

The differences here are not something that outsiders can easily understand.

"Zhang Yan..."

Huang Lian sat next to Zhang Yan, looking at the magic weapon in his hand with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He always thought that in the art of weapon crafting, he should be the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But unexpectedly, he encountered Zhang Yan in the arena competition.

At first, he didn't take Zhang Yan seriously.

They believed he was simply using some underhanded tactics.

But now it seems...

That's not all!
The other party does have some real skills.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of anxiety.

"I must first refine a fourth-tier magic weapon."

He silently set a rule for himself.

As long as he is the first to refine a fourth-tier magic weapon, he will still be the strongest weapon refiner of the younger generation in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Don't tell me what kind of third-tier magic weapon you can refine.

Not at all.

High pressure at level one can kill people.

Even if you are an excellent Tier 3 top-grade weapon refiner, you are not as good as a Tier 4 weapon refiner whose performance is unstable.

This is the ironclad rule for weapon refiners.

Because the two of you are of different ranks!
"I've taken a look at the magical artifacts you've crafted using your refining techniques; they're quite impressive."

"However, some people still need to work harder, so let's continue the lesson today..."

After checking the homework, Chi Lian Tianjun...

The lecture will continue immediately.

This time he talked about the forging of flying swords.

Although forging flying swords was something that was familiar to everyone present.

However, the lessons given by the Crimson Heavenly Lord were still full of knowledge.

It is filled with things that people would never imagine in their daily lives.

"I see……"

"So it turns out that simply changing the proportions of the spiritual materials can make the flying sword more durable!"

"So adjusting the appearance of a flying sword has this effect!"

Zhang Yan was completely absorbed in the lecture given by the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

That was explained so well.

It's such a shame we didn't meet sooner!

"This time, each of you will forge a flying sword for me using mid-grade third-tier Fire Phoenix Iron. Based on the knowledge I've shared, whoever forges the best sword will be rewarded with a forging furnace."

After the lecture was completed, Crimson Heavenly Lord suddenly addressed the crowd in this manner.

"hiss!"

Hear what the other person is saying.

Everyone present gasped in shock.

Too arrogant!

This Crimson Heavenly Lord is truly too arrogant.

They actually rewarded me with a Tier 4 forging furnace!

To know,
Fourth-tier magic items are inherently quite expensive.

Among them, the forging furnace and the alchemy furnace are among the highest-grade fourth-tier magic treasures.

The price is even higher than that of a flying sword.

Normally, such things are rare and hard to come by.

And now the Crimson Heavenly Lord is actually going to give it away directly?
This……

It’s so cool!

Think of this.

Everyone secretly resolved to refine it properly and bring out their full potential.

Although it's not guaranteed that we'll get the forging furnace from the Crimson Heavenly Lord...

But what's that saying again...?

Even a salted fish should have dreams.

What if?
What if it happens?

Of course.

Actually, everyone knows that, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

This forging furnace should belong to Huang Lian.

after all……

Why did the Crimson Heavenly Lord send a fourth-tier forging furnace?

Isn't it because Huang Lian is here?
Huang Lian is the other party's personal disciple!
but……

Some people looked at Zhang Yan.

A smile appeared in his eyes.

If anything unexpected happens.

So Zhang Yan was the exception, and the other party was also very skilled.

There is a chance to take this forging furnace.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. You all need to work hard." After saying that, Crimson Heavenly Lord turned and left.

"We respectfully bid farewell to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Everyone bowed to the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

They then began to talk to each other.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you're not going to forge another giant flying sword this time, are you?!"

Huang Lian got up from beside Zhang Yan and asked him softly.

"Hahaha."

"Of course not!"

Zhang Yan chuckled.

There wasn't a trace of embarrassment on his face.

joke……

This time, the flying sword to be forged requires the user to provide the materials themselves.

He is not stupid.

Using so many materials to forge a flying sword is just plain stupid, isn't it?
The reason he used so many materials to refine the magic weapon last time was...

There are two reasons for that.

The first reason is to exploit loopholes.

The second reason is that the material wasn't their own.

Moreover, after refining, the weapon refiner can take those materials with them.

That means we can refine it to the largest size we can.

Now, naturally, we need to save money.

After all, he couldn't use the flying sword he had forged.

We'll have to sell it then.

If we use too much material, we'll lose money!
Zhang Yan never does business at a loss.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's have a competition this time."

"Let's see whose flying sword has higher attack power."

Obviously.

Huang Lian said he didn't care.

In fact, he still couldn't forget the result of his last competition with Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan chuckled softly at this.

Then he quietly spoke up: "If Senior Brother Huang really thinks this is that important, then it means that the flying swords you forge have higher attack power!"

"I admit defeat on this point."

"you!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Huang Lian felt so uncomfortable that he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

He clearly wanted to have a competition with the other party.

But the other party's nonchalant attitude made him feel like he had punched a cotton ball.

It's awful! (End of Chapter)
