Chapter 272 The Position of the Furnace Master
There were also furnace masters who wanted to give the money directly to Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye insisted on his principle: "Today, I belong to Lord Ritian."
This sounded strange, but it also won the respect of the furnace masters. It was rare for a small apprentice to stick to his word in the face of huge wealth.
Later, with the assistance of Zhang Ye, Li Ritian successfully forged another innate spiritual treasure. This success rate has set a record in the forging workshop.
At this time, the day's work came to an end, and Li Ritian said to Zhang Ye: "Xiao Zhang, you have worked hard."
No furnace master has ever been so polite to an apprentice. The reason why Zhang Ye can enjoy this treatment is mainly because he has shown his value.
Zhang Ye was modest, and Li Ritian changed the subject: "Xiao Zhang, you should follow me tomorrow?"
Before Li Ritian finished speaking, a furnace master flashed and blocked him. He smiled at Zhang Ye and took out a hundred low-grade heavenly stones and handed them to Zhang Ye: "You didn't accept it before, but now you can, right? Follow me tomorrow."
Li Ritian was dissatisfied and was about to say something, but the furnace masters were surprisingly united and shouted: "The apprentices are not from your family, first come first served!"
Li Ritian didn't dare to cause public anger, so he had to give up.
As for Zhang Ye, he charged fees before mainly to save some heavenly stones for the lottery. Since he had saved enough money for the lottery, he didn't plan to charge. After all, his current identity is an apprentice, so he should be sensible.
Zhang Ye was about to return the money to the furnace master, but the furnace master was very angry: "What's the matter, you take Li Ritian's money, but not my money, do you look down on me?"
What can Zhang Ye do? Just take it. Gradually, this became a rule. Anyone who wanted Zhang Ye to help him had to pay one hundred low-grade heavenly stones.
Of course, this is only a later story.
…
After get off work, Zhang Ye went to the apprentice canteen. There were so many people that there were no extra seats. Zhang Ye was about to take the food back to the dormitory, but someone shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, come and sit here!"
The people who shouted were a few young men, but Zhang Ye did not know them. After confirming again and again, the other party was calling him. Zhang Ye asked in confusion: "Do we know each other?"
A young man stood up, gave up his seat, and said with admiration: "Brother Zhang, it's right that you don't know me, but how can I not know you, Brother Zhang? Everyone in the forging workshop knows your name."
Lingbao Division is so big, with so many apprentices. Zhang Ye has only been here for three days, so naturally he doesn't know them.
As soon as the young man called out, the apprentices gathered around curiously, saying, "Oh, is this Zhang Ye, who is worth one hundred low-grade sky stones and made the furnace masters fight for him?"
"Brother Zhang, you are my idol."
Zhang Ye was surrounded in the middle and couldn't get away for a while, so he sat down reluctantly. He was very sensible and didn't get complacent. He just discussed some forging experience and understanding with everyone.
The entire apprentice cafeteria seemed to be circling around Zhang Ye, except for a few apprentices who stared at Zhang Ye hatefully in a corner.
"Brother Scar, will this guy hinder your promotion to furnace master?"
"Bullshit, isn't he just a little clever? Brother Scar is a person who can forge innate spiritual treasures. He is not even worthy of carrying shoes for our Brother Scar!"
An apprentice with a scar on his face is Brother Scar. Before Zhang Ye came, he was the most likely person to be promoted to furnace master in the forging workshop, no one else.
After all, Brother Scar could forge innate spiritual treasures independently a few years ago. If there were no quotas above, he would have been promoted long ago.
Scar Brother listened to the discussion of his younger brothers. His expression showed no emotion. Finally, Scar Brother said: "No matter whether this kid is really capable or not, I will definitely get the position of the furnace master this time. There will be no surprises."
"What does Scar Brother mean?" The younger brothers listened attentively.
"Destroy him!" Scar Brother smiled sinisterly.
...
After dinner, Zhang Ye returned to his apprentice dormitory. The people in the dormitory changed their previous indifference. After all, Zhang Ye is now a celebrity. They all seemed very enthusiastic.
However, Zhang Ye is not a rookie who has just started out. He can tell whether it is true or false. After a few words of socializing, he lay on the bed and began to rest.
In fact, it is still early. Many people took out the jade slips to study materials. The reason why Zhang Ye went to bed so early is because he is ready to start the first lottery in the heaven.
"System, start the lottery." Zhang Ye gave the order, thought for a while, and added, "Specify the category, Dan Ding."
Zhang Ye ascended to the fairyland and brought Ah Hua and Tuanzi with him. Because he could not bring living things, the pangolin was still in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The reason why Zhang Ye specified the Dan Ding category was that he considered that he could practice like a normal cultivator after condensing his immortal body. If he could forge Tuanzi into a Dan Ding of the innate spiritual treasure level, he could refine immortal medicine to assist in practice.
However, the forging system responded: "The category is wrong."
Zhang Ye was a little confused, how could it be wrong? This is how the categories were defined before.
The forging system answered Zhang Ye's doubts: "Spiritual treasures correspond to the way of heaven, and cannot be classified by form. They should be classified by the types of Taoism contained in the spiritual treasures..."
These two days, Zhang Ye focused on basic materials, but he didn't know that there was such a little-known knowledge about the classification of spiritual treasures. Fortunately, no outsiders knew it, otherwise Zhang Ye would be embarrassed.
However, Zhang Ye also agreed with this classification method. No matter what the form of the spiritual treasure is, only the essence is considered.
As for how to classify spiritual treasures according to the types of Taoism, the forging system also lists several examples. For example, swords, guns, sticks and clubs can be classified into the killing Tao, shields and armor can be classified into the defensive Tao, and so on.
The forging system gave Zhang Ye a list of heavenly ways, summarizing all the categories of heavenly ways that cultivators have discovered so far.
Of course, this list cost Zhang Ye 100 low-grade heavenly stones.
Fortunately, Zhang Ye had 200 low-grade heavenly stones today, and there was still money left for the lottery.
Zhang Ye looked at the list and almost couldn't help laughing. Heavenly ways are really random things. There are serious and domineering heavenly ways such as birth, killing, death, and extinction, as well as boring heavenly ways such as sleeping and eating.
Almost everything that a person can do can be summarized as a way. If Zhang Ye had known this earlier, he would not have spent that money in vain.
Finally, Zhang Ye designated the category - Dan Dao.
The system deducted another 100 low-grade heavenly stones from Zhang Ye and opened the lottery wheel. The prizes on it were all related to Dan Dao Lingbao.
Zhang Ye scanned it and found both forging materials for Dan Dao Lingbao and forging skills for Dan Dao Lingbao. Among them, two forging skills caught Zhang Ye's attention.
One is the repair skill of the middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the other is the forging expertise of the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure.
The former can make Zhang Ye's forging level reach a relatively high level, but the latter can increase Zhang Ye's breadth. After some trade-offs, Zhang Ye decided to take one step at a time and draw the expertise of the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure. At that time, he will have the three skills of refining, forging, and repairing, which is also more cost-effective.
Zhang Ye issued an order to start the lottery, and at the same time launched the blessing of the heavenly official.
It must be said that the artifact of the lucky bag affects the luck, even if it comes to the heaven, it is still so useful. There is no accident that Zhang Ye drew the forging expertise of the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the forging skill, the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure expertise (alchemy)."
After the system prompts, a huge amount of knowledge and skills are instilled into Zhang Ye's mind, but this time the skill infusion is different from the past, and it also carries a kind of understanding of the alchemy.
This time the infusion is too intense, Zhang Ye fainted directly, but before fainting, he only had one thought, rich.
Why do you say that? The cultivation of immortals is to capture the Way of Heaven, absorb it, and use it for their own benefit.
Just like pouring water into a wooden barrel, how much water can be filled depends not only on how much water there is, but also on the height of the barrel wall.
The Way of Heaven captured by the immortals is to add water to the barrel continuously, and the comprehension of the Way of Heaven is to continuously raise the barrel wall. If you only capture the Way of Heaven but do not comprehend it, the water in the barrel will overflow sooner or later. Therefore, the two need to complement each other.
And Zhang Ye, through the infusion of skills through the forging system, also comprehended the Way of Alchemy, which saved half or even most of the effort of cultivation. After all, comprehending the Way of Heaven is the most painful and complicated thing.
Although the current comprehension of the Way of Alchemy is not deep enough, Zhang Ye believes that with the improvement of the forging level, Zhang Ye will be able to comprehend more and more ways of heaven, and more and more profound.
So, Zhang Ye said that he was rich.
"The host's current attributes are as follows-"
"Name: Zhang Ye
Cultivation: Early Human Immortal
Forging Level: Eleven
Forging Skills: Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Specialization (Dan Dao), Dao Qi Almighty...
Experience Value: 70,000/10 million"
In a daze, Zhang Ye heard the forging system broadcast his attributes. It might be a summary of the completion of skill infusion, or it might be for the sake of watering down the word count. Anyway, Zhang Ye was very happy to hear it.
At this moment, a person suddenly grabbed Zhang Ye from the bed: "Look at you, you are so beautiful that you are bleeding from your nose!"
Zhang Ye opened his eyes, saw the person clearly, wiped his nosebleed, and asked in confusion: "Deacon Wang, what are you doing here so late?"
Deacon Wang was about to scold, but after looking around at the other apprentices in the dormitory, he left Zhang Ye and walked out: "Put on your clothes and get out and talk."
Zhang Ye knew that Deacon Wang was a person. Although he scolded everyone he saw every day, he was actually a good person. He came to scold Zhang Ye so late, so he must have something to say.
Zhang Ye put on his coat and went outside: "Deacon Wang, I wonder what I did wrong?" Zhang Ye was a little sober now, and probably knew why Deacon Wang came, but he still asked respectfully.
Deacon Wang put his hands behind his back, his face flushed: "I heard that you were helping in the forge, but you asked the furnace master to charge you. Are you tired of living?"
Zhang Ye guessed that this news reached Deacon Wang's ears, and it turned out to be true.
In fact, Deacon Wang's anger is understandable, just like a student who goes to school and asks the teacher to charge him. It doesn't make sense. If Zhang Ye hadn't really done it, Deacon Wang would have thought he was listening to a joke!
Deacon Wang spoke passionately and talked about a lot of interests. He scolded Zhang Ye severely and finally said, "Tomorrow, return all the money."
Deacon Wang's scolding was very reasonable, so Zhang Ye had not spoken before, but now he had to say, "Deacon Wang, I'm afraid I can't return the money."
Deacon Wang was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Okay, you dare not listen to my words?"
"How dare I!" Zhang Ye scratched his head embarrassedly, "The main thing is that the money has been used up."
But Zhang Ye couldn't say how to use it specifically. At the end, Zhang Ye tried to ask, "How about Deacon Wang, can you lend me two hundred?"
Ever since Zhang Ye met Deacon Wang, his face was only angry, as if he didn't like anything, and there was no other expression.
But at this moment, Deacon Wang's expression was about to change, just like dry land, abruptly cracked into several pieces. This shows that Deacon Wang's facial muscles were so angry that they couldn't be coordinated.
