Chapter 1020 Violet Gold
The long sword was blown away, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and saw the young man coming.
"The ants are still alive, why are you looking for short-term views?"
Zhang Xuan opened his mouth.
When I came to the front, I could see clearly that the strength of the middle-aged man had already reached the early stage of Huafan Ninth Layer, and he was definitely regarded as a master in Huoyuan City.
"Senior Lao misses me, I just want to die..."
Knowing that the distance is so far, the ability to fly his long sword with one finger must be much higher than his strength. The middle-aged man did not despise the other party because of his youth, bowed to the end, and his eyes were full of loneliness.
"You've cultivated to your level at the age of 30. You're a good genius, right? What's the reason for such despair? Are you willing to beg for death?"
Zhang Xuan is strange.
Even if Huoyuan City is rich in resources, someone in their thirties can reach this level, and their talent is not low.
You have strength and talent, what can't you do? Happily, looking for a short-term meeting?
"I'm sorry to ask seniors, I really don't have the motivation to live anymore..."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Huoyuan City, the ground fire is powerful, and the most famous profession is that of a craftsman. I started studying at the age of seven, and I was an apprentice at the Grand Master Sun Jin for twenty-four years. I thought I could accept it. I entered the door, who would have known... I have failed the assessment for ten years in a row! Such a poor talent, such a stupidity, what's the point of living? I am ashamed of my family, ashamed of this profession, it is better to die..."
"Have been an apprentice for twenty-four years?" Zhang Xuan was stunned: "You...you're not even a one-star refiner?"
Huafan Ninth Layer powerhouse, according to the level, is at least a five-star peak refiner, or just an apprentice... Is it true?
Is there such a stupid person in the world?
"Yeah! Every time I refine the artifact, I can't control the temperature of the ground fire, and I finally use the artifact refinement... This time, the artifact refiner Sun Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and expelled me from the teacher's door. Now even the apprentice No. My family all hoped that I could become an artifact refiner and make a name for myself, but I was expelled.
The more he talks, the more uncomfortable he feels, and the middle-aged people feel sad.
Zhang Xuan blinked his eyes.
Huafan's ninth-level powerhouse, he started learning artifact refining at the age of seven, but he has not even succeeded in the examination of a one-star artifact refiner.
If it is true, it is indeed difficult to accept the blow.
"What's the problem, even the one-star refiner failed the assessment?"
Zhang Xuan is strange.
A one-star artifact refiner, with a simple foundation, a martial artist in the profound realm can do it. The person in front of him, Huafan Ninth Layer, has also cultivated his soul, and has fine control. How could it be impossible to refine it so simple?
"I don't know either. I just know that every time I take the test, I can't successfully refine the weapon." The middle-aged man shook his head, and there was no confidence in his eyes. It seemed that the repeated tests had made him lose all confidence.
"Can't refine it successfully?" After a pause, Zhang Xuan looked over: "Can you refine a weapon of the lowest level and show it to me?"
A dignified human being of the ninth level cannot even be assessed by a one-star smith.
"Thank you senior for saving my life, but I have decided to beg for death. Even if I continue to refine it, it will not help. Let a useless person like me commit suicide, so as not to continue to be ashamed!" The middle-aged man bowed and said. .
"There is time to commit suicide, and I have also done a lot of research on the refining equipment. Maybe I can see your problems and let you succeed in the assessment."
Zhang Xuan said.
If the other party really wants to commit suicide, he can't control it. He just thinks that it is a bit incredible that even a 1-star weapon refiner can't pass the 9th-level powerhouse.
"This..." The middle-aged man's face was uncertain.
"Anyway, you are going to commit suicide. If I can't solve it, it's not too late to commit suicide!" Zhang Xuan smiled.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man nodded, clenching his teeth.
That's right, he is someone who wants to commit suicide, he has nothing to lose, even if the other party can't see anything, it doesn't matter, the big deal is death.
"There's a quiet room over there that I use exclusively for refining. Everything is there, go over there!"
After speaking, lead the way first. After a short time, the two came to a small room.
There are ground fires and refining furnaces here. There are many ores on the shelves not far away, many of which are not available on the market. It seems that although this middle-aged man is not a high-level refiner, Rare metals are collected a lot.
Looking around, I suddenly landed on an ore, and my eyelids couldn't help but jump.
"This is... Violet Gold?"
Violet gold is a very rare ore, melting into unique artifacts can greatly increase its power.
"Using this thing, coupled with the corresponding refining technique, can completely make Jin Yuanding break through its current strength!"
His eyes lit up, Zhang Xuan was full of excitement.
I have been thinking about helping Jin Yuanding improve its strength, but the ore needed has never been found, and the matter has been put on hold.
Unexpectedly, he rescued a person who wanted to commit suicide and found this ore in his quiet room.
"I'm starting!"
Not seeing the change in his expression, the middle-aged man let out a low voice and came to the refining furnace.
The palm of the hand grabbed forward, the infuriating energy in the body was burning, and the ground fire was suddenly drawn out.
The scorching flames whistled, reflecting the walls of the quiet room into a reddish color. When the palm was grasped, a huge iron hammer appeared in the palm, followed by a piece of fine iron, which was placed in it. After a while, it was burned and softened.
Jingle Jingle!
Hit it on it, and soon the iron block took shape and turned into a sharp long sword.
It has to be said that this middle-aged man has already reached the level of perfection in tempering the tires, which is much stronger than his six-star peak craftsman.
After a short time, the tire was formed, and when it was grasped again, it was planned to be quenched. Who would have guessed that at this moment, the ground fire raged violently. In the blink of an eye, the long sword that had just been tempered was burned into molten iron. All the previous efforts , ruined.
"Failed again, I said that it is impossible for me to succeed in refining..." With a face full of frustration, the middle-aged man's eyes showed loss.
I thought I could change the ending this time, but the result was exactly the same as before, without the slightest change.
"This..." Different from his frustration, Zhang Xuan frowned when he saw the entire process of refining.
With his current eyesight, even if he doesn't use the Tiandao Library, he can still see the crux and problems of the opponent's weapon refining.
There is nothing wrong with the other party’s method of tempering the tire. However, during the tempering, the infuriating energy in the body and the ground fire have a recoil phenomenon, which causes the successfully refined tire to melt in the blink of an eye...
That is to say, the steps of quenching are not wrong, but the properties of the infuriating energy in his body and the earth fire are diametrically opposite. Once quenched, it will cause the earth fire to be restless, making the previous tires become waste, resulting in a loss of success. .
"True Qi collides with Earth Fire... Six-star peak refiners should be able to see it?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
If it's a big flaw, it's fine if you can't see it. The most basic of this kind of practice, as long as you reach the peak of the six-star, it's impossible not to know!
That being the case, why didn't the six-star Grandmaster Sun Jin say it? No more pointers?
This middle-aged man couldn't find it, but it was excusable. After all, although his strength has reached, because even a one-star refiner has not succeeded in the assessment, he is not qualified to read higher-level books.
And this kind of conflicting power can only be known if it reaches the peak six-star level.
"No..." After deliberating in his heart, Zhang Xuan's brows suddenly jumped. True Qi clashed refers to the refutation of the cultivation technique and the refining tools. Since this guy has been learning the refining tools since he was seven years old, how could this lowest level appear? class error?
"Unless someone did it on purpose..." His eyes narrowed immediately.
A quack doctor harms people, and a quaint teacher misleads people. Unless someone deliberately made him practice the wrong exercises from the beginning, then this situation has arisen.
It's just cultivating the wrong exercises... What's the benefit to the other party?
Full of puzzlement, Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on the shelves surrounding the ore, and his heart suddenly moved.
"You collected all these ores?"
"Yes!" I don't know why he asked this, the middle-aged man nodded: "Fire source city is full of ground fires, and the dense flames contain a lot of ores... With the infuriating energy in the body, I can find a lot of them every time. ."
"Attracted by infuriating energy?"
"Yes! Our cultivation techniques are all taught by Master Sun Jin. If you practice hard, you will naturally become sensitive to these ores, and it is easy to find many..."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"You? There are many people who practice the same exercises as you?" Zhang Xuan looked over.
"There are a lot of them. There were more than 30 apprentices who followed the study together. However, most of them were engulfed by the ground fire and burned to ashes when they were looking for ores. The only one left is me and the other!"
Think about it, middle-aged humane.
"Is that person also unable to become a real artifact refiner?"
As if he had figured out something, Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Yes! He is one year older than me, and he was also unable to succeed in the assessment. He couldn't bear the pressure last year, and he committed suicide..." Thinking of the partner who was with him, the middle-aged man shook his head.
After studying for so many years, he was unable to become a real crafter. The loss in his heart can be imagined. He was able to hold on for another year, which is already considered a relatively firm mind.
"Suicide?" Zhang Xuan was stunned, looked around for a week, and continued to ask: "Then... where did the ore you find go? There should be more than that!"
Since he has the ability to find ores, after so many years, he should have found a lot of them, and it cannot be only these in the room.
"I found a lot of ores, but most of them were handed over to Master Sun Jin as a tuition fee! I have studied with him since I was a child and imparted a lot of knowledge, so that I have today, and the tuition fee must be paid naturally."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Pay tuition? That's it, I understand!"
Suddenly realized, Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed, his face was terrifyingly indifferent.
