The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Xingxing, my suggestion is that you focus on cultivating weaponry, and supplement with talismans and formations. Weaponry isn't easy to cultivate, and generally requires extremely high talent. If you weren't born with top-grade gold and fire spiritual roots, I wouldn't let you take the risk of cultivating all three."

"Is it risky to practice three paths?" Hu Xingtong didn't understand. She actually wanted to practice alchemy as well, but when she thought about it, multitasking was already a miracle, and there was no need to put so much pressure on herself in the early stages.

The Seventh Elder knew that she didn't understand, so he explained to her: "Most people can only cultivate two paths at most. The reason is simple. The highest realm in this world is the Divine Transformation. Most ordinary people's spiritual roots are mixed and it is difficult to cultivate. But you are different. You have two spiritual roots of the best quality, and there is also a part of your golden spiritual root and fire spiritual root that is fused together. So in essence, you have three spiritual roots of the best quality. This is the capital that allows you to cultivate one more path than others. Golden spiritual roots are generally known for their high attack power and strong defense. People with golden spiritual roots also have a certain affinity for metals. So generally, cultivators with golden spiritual roots will choose to cultivate weapons. The martial arts path is mainly based on the sword, the knife, and the spear. Since you don't have any intention of cultivating the sword, I have no suggestions. Fire spirit roots are usually more suitable for paths that utilize fire, such as alchemy and weapon forging. Of course, some cultivators choose to cultivate martial arts. Cultivators with fire spirit roots naturally have stronger physical endurance, so martial arts cultivation is also easier. Regardless of which path you choose, time and resources are extremely important. Even the most talented people cannot cultivate all three paths at the same time because they don't have access to such vast resources. Therefore, cultivating all three paths is extremely risky and may very well lead to nothing.

"Xiao Wuzi, will you give me as many resources as possible during the mission?" Hu Xingtong asked the system in her mind. If the system provided off-field assistance, she felt that she could rely on the system and the Scanning Eye plug-in to fight.

[Xingxing, aren't the resources I've given you enough? If you want to practice more, your quest rewards will increase accordingly. Plus, with the help of the Scanning Eye, you'll probably earn quite a bit of resources with more experience.]

After getting the answer, Hu Xingtong felt a little proud. If the resources were stable, her strength would also grow steadily, and it would not be difficult to practice a few more times.

Hu Xingtong thought about it and pretended to be conflicted as he looked at the Seventh Elder, "Elder, I want to try it first. I'm not sure which way to practice. Do you think it's possible for me to try everything?" If he didn't give the Seventh Elder an answer first, it would be troublesome if this person objected. So, Hu Xingtong could only tell a little lie to calm the Seventh Elder.

Seeing her struggle, the Seventh Elder understood her thoughts and thought it would be a good idea to experience more and learn more. He gave her the schedules for each peak and solemnly instructed her, "It's a good idea to try them out first. The schedules of each peak are staggered, so you'll have enough time." After thinking for a moment, the Seventh Elder felt that the child in front of him was really pleasing to his eyes. He simply took out something like wings from his storage ring and handed it to her. "This is a pair of flying magic treasures I obtained in my early years. Go back and drop blood to recognize them as your master. This is my gift to you. You can use it to save some distance in the future."

Looking at the blue wings in front of him, Hu Xingtong almost shouted out in his heart: It looks so beautiful, sir, it really makes me cry.

Although she suppressed her impulse, the corners of her mouth, which were harder to suppress than AK, had obviously betrayed her. The Seventh Elder looked at the girl in front of him who was pretending to be reserved and suppressed her smile, and shouted: "Hurry up and take it!"

"Take it back, take it back!" What a bullshit for being reserved! If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. Hu Xingtong took the wings back as quickly as possible, and under the gaze of the Seventh Elder, he pierced his finger with pain, completed the master recognition ceremony, and then watched the wings disappear in front of him.

"Hey, where is the thing? Is it inside my huge wings?" Seeing the thing disappear before his eyes, he felt so powerless and anxious, as if he had accidentally broken the gift that the owner had just given him in front of him. It was such an uncomfortable feeling.

The Seventh Elder didn't know what to say. You say Hu Xingtong is smart, but she doesn't know that the wings that recognized her master have returned to her body. You say she is stupid, but she knows that she is worried because her things are gone.

"Focus your attention behind you, and the wings will come out, but not here!" Before he finished speaking, the wings behind Hu Xingtong suddenly spread open, and the blue wings instantly shook the entire Sutra Library again and again. For a moment, all the bookshelves around the two were affected, and all the books were shaken to the ground. The scene looked like a robbery.

"I'm really impressed. Couldn't you wait for me to finish speaking?" The Seventh Elder had lost his good temper and was now sitting on a small chair in the attic like a resentful woman, holding an empty teacup in his hand, but the table in front of him had already fallen to the ground.

"Swish—" Hu Xingtong found the way, folded his wings, looked at the mess in the room with an apologetic look, and then asked tentatively: "I have to come over tomorrow anyway, why don't I help you clean up?"

"You must clean it up. I won't clean up this floor!" The Seventh Elder was furious. He took the teacup, looked at the tea leaves scattered on the floor with heartache, glared at Hu Xingtong fiercely, and turned away, leaving Hu Xingtong alone to face the mess in the room.

……

After packing up all night, Hu Xingtong took the schedule given by the Seventh Elder and used the blue wings given by the Seventh Elder to fly directly to the earliest weapon refining class.

The courses taught by each peak are nothing more than some basic common sense and some basic skills to teach disciples. They are very simple and easy to use. Generally, disciples do not need to come to class when they can independently refine the first item. Therefore, in this class, Hu Xingtong just came to take a look and understand the basic common sense.

As soon as he entered the training room of Qifeng, Hu Xingtong felt a strange heat coming towards him. There was a faint strange smell in the air, which made Hu Xingtong a little unbearable.

Walking into the training room, there were scattered disciples sitting there. Most of them were male disciples, and there were very few female disciples. Hu Xingtong thought that the female disciples felt that it was difficult to practice weapon cultivation, so fewer of them came.

After she sat down, a male disciple next to her recognized her and called her "Senior Sister" politely, and then nothing else. Hu Xingtong was secretly glad that he didn't say anything, so that he wouldn't ask her questions that she couldn't answer.

The lecturer was a middle-aged man who looked a bit old. He looked rather burly, with muscles all over his body, and he looked very powerful.

Before the formal class, the middle-aged man first taught everyone to release their spiritual roots, and persuaded some people whose spiritual roots were not suitable, such as those with water spiritual roots, to go back. Most of the remaining people had spiritual roots that were suitable or had strange fire.

In the formal class, the middle-aged man first released the flame of his forging weapon, and then taught everyone the method of condensing spiritual fire, and then taught everyone the method of condensing spiritual fire one by one.

Hu Xingtong watched and it didn't seem that difficult. He stretched out his hand and focused all his attention on his right hand. He closed his eyes and a golden-red light flowed from his abdomen to his palm. The next moment, a warm burning sensation made Hu Xingtong open his eyes.

"Wow, how did you do that?" The male disciple who called her "senior sister" looked at the golden flame in Hu Xingtong's hand with admiration.

"Yes, the flame is pure. Do you have the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire?" The middle-aged man's voice came from above. Hu Xingtong subconsciously looked up and saw the man teaching her with a sharp gaze. She felt a little restrained and replied, "Yes."

"Very good! Utilizing your spiritual roots to this extent is already very impressive." The man praised generously, then turned to look at the crowd and continued, "Next, everyone, watch me as I demonstrate the forging process."

The man casually summoned a ball of red flame and threw it into the refining furnace beside him. The flame surged instantly, and a raging fire ignited in the furnace in an instant. Then, the man put a piece of metal spirit stone into the refining furnace and burned it. Everyone only heard crackling sounds one after another, and then saw the man use his spiritual power to lift a ball of silver liquid out of the furnace and put it on the table. Then everyone saw the man draw a stroke in the air, and kept kneading it with his hands. In less than a moment, a silver dagger appeared in front of everyone.

"To summarize the process I just described, it's putting the material into the furnace to temper it, then shaping it, engraving it with patterns, and finally the primary tool is forged. Depending on the material and the rune patterns engraved with different effects, we can obtain tools of different grades and with different functions. But no matter what we refine, we, the tool refiners, must engrave it with patterns and add special abilities. Otherwise, the tool will be useless and can only be considered an item, not a spiritual tool."

"Alright, follow the steps we just learned and refine an item first, without using seal patterns."

After that, several identical small stoves and workbenches suddenly appeared in front of the disciples. Several disciples were eager to try and began to imitate what they had just seen.

However, soon the sound of furnace explosions could be heard from the training room.

"It doesn't look very easy." Seeing the people around him having their furnaces blown up one after another, Hu Xingtong was a little hesitant to take action. He thought about looking at the operations of the people around him and learning from them before making another attempt.

However, the middle-aged man teaching the class didn't give her that chance. While she was observing others, he came up to her. Seeing that she was hesitant to start, he thought she hadn't learned it yet and asked, "Why don't you try it? Don't you understand?"

Hu Xingtong suddenly became alert when he heard the voice. He turned around and found that the burly teacher had appeared beside him at some point. A pair of strong and powerful arms pressed down on his desk, and the desk seemed to be unable to bear the weight.

"No, I just saw everyone was always having problems, so I thought there might be something I hadn't noticed, so I wanted to learn from their experience."

"Do you have experience now?" The teacher looked at her and seemed to be looking forward to seeing her work.

Hu Xingtong thought about it and felt somewhat confident, so he nodded. Under the deliberate gaze of the teacher, the explosion sounds around him gradually stopped. Feeling the sudden increase in attention on him, Hu Xingtong felt a huge pressure. This feeling was like when the teacher stayed by your side during the exam in school.

Under such gaze, Hu Xingtong picked up the silver metal spirit stone whose name she didn't know, looked at it carefully for a moment, and put it into the refining furnace. Perhaps it was a good habit left over from the real world, Hu Xingtong could easily focus on one thing, so when she put the thing into the refining furnace, her entire attention was completely focused on the matter of refining.

So, in full view of everyone, she raised the golden flame in her hand, and the flames shot up instantly, suppressing the golden light in Hu Xingtong's eyes. With the help of the scanning eye, Hu Xingtong controlled the heat of the flame to the most suitable temperature for the metal spirit stone, and then used the most suitable calcination time to refine the spirit stone into liquid. Following the teacher's method, she used spiritual power to wrap the liquid, placed the liquid on the table, and then used spiritual power to continuously squeeze the metal liquid until the liquid finally turned into a smooth knife, and then stopped.
