Soon, Danqing's response came.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Deng: "...Excuse me."
Danqing was the previous Demon Lord. It was too difficult for him to refine spiritual weapons. It was almost certain that he could refine magic weapons.
Sighing, Jiang Deng's spiritual consciousness searched everywhere, preparing to find a weapon refiner with good strength.
Even if others don't want her as an assistant, it's still good for her to go and learn from them!
Finally, Jiang Deng really found a place - a weapon refining workshop.
Jiang Deng hurried to the weapon refining workshop in the city. He could hear the sound of iron hammering from a long distance away. When he walked over, he felt the heat wave on his face.
The red fire was burning fiercely, and many people were standing nearby, some wearing simple light sweat shirts, and some with their bare chests, but they were still sweating profusely from the heat.
boom--!
As a purple light shot up into the sky, screams rang out one after another in front of a refining furnace.
"Low-grade earth-level!"
"Uncle Yan actually refined a low-grade earth-level spiritual weapon!"
"It seems that Uncle Yan has a good chance of winning the weapon refining competition held by the Nangong family this time!"
…
Surrounded by the crowd was a middle-aged man.
Although he tried his best to appear calm, a hint of pride lingered between his eyebrows. He waved his hand and said modestly, "Thank you for your compliments. This weapon refining competition is full of hidden talents. I don't expect to win, I just hope to do my best. That's all."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him with even more admiration.
He is worthy of being the pillar of their weapon refining workshop!
It would be fine if he was just strong in refining skills, but he was actually so humble. If Yan Hai didn't take the first place in this refining competition, who would be worthy of it!
Jiang Deng, who was far away, also had a hint of confusion in his eyes. Just because he could refine a low-grade earth-level spiritual weapon, did that mean he was the most powerful weapon refiner here?
Why does she feel so unreliable?
Hmm... let's wait and see.
At this moment, another cold sneer was heard from the weapon refining workshop. "The Nangong family is looking for a weapon refiner who can refine a Heaven-grade spiritual weapon. Yan Hai, you are a weapon refiner who can only refine an Earth-grade spiritual weapon at best. Why are you so proud?"
"The game hasn't even started yet, and you're already celebrating. Aren't you being a little too self-righteous?"
Although these two sentences did not contain a single curse word, they were extremely unpleasant to the ear, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person who spoke.
Jiang Deng also looked over.
What came into view was a young woman. Her dress was not much different from the men around her, all wearing the same simple coarse cloth sweatshirt, but her figure was taller and stronger.
His hair was so short that only stubble remained, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his features were sharp and angular. There was a hint of irritability in his roughness, and it was obvious that he had a bad temper.
"Chi Lian, what's your business?"
Before Yan Hai could speak, the people around him started to criticize him, "You're just an apprentice refiner, not even a refiner, how dare you look down on Uncle Yan?"
"That's right. Your master died before you even finished your apprenticeship. How could you possibly know how to refine weapons?"
"All you do all day is tinker with things. You're only good enough to help us. Are you planning on participating in the weapon refining competition? That's hilarious!"
"Oh, what do you, an apprentice, know about refining weapons?"
…
Facing the accusations, the woman named Chi Lian looked at Yan Hai calmly, "Since everyone says you are the strongest weapon refiner in our workshop, do you dare to compete with me?"
Yan Hai snorted coldly, "What are you competing for? You tell me, I will make you admit defeat with conviction!"
Chi Lian didn't hesitate and took out two pieces of red-hot black iron from the burning refining furnace in front of her with her bare hands. She placed one in front of herself and the other in front of Yan Hai.
"We are better than blacksmiths, if not better than anything else."
"This isn't fair!" the crowd shouted. "Everyone knows that you forge all the iron in our workshop. How could anyone beat you at forging iron?"
Chi Lian was surprised and said, "Huh? You can't forge iron, but you are qualified to be a weapon refiner?"
Yan Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you chose to be an ironworker, I will defeat you in the field you are best at. Don't cry when you lose."
Chi Lian grinned and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose. As long as Uncle Yan doesn't die of anger by then, that's all that's fine."
“…”
Yan Hai took a deep breath, stopped arguing with Chi Lian, and started competing instead.
In order to ensure fairness, the workshop staff immediately invited the old master to be the referee of the competition.
Jiang Deng watched carefully from the side, not only to select people, but more importantly to learn from them!
After all, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Since she couldn't find anyone to participate in the competition with her, she had to go alone!
As soon as Yan Hai entered the state, his cultivation in the late Nascent Soul Realm burst out!
He gripped the hammer tightly and smashed it lightly on the red-hot black iron in front of him.
His movements were not the main thing. The main thing was that each of his strikes was mixed with a lot of spiritual power. The deep spiritual power flowed into the black iron, eliminating impurities while increasing the toughness of the black iron itself, making it a qualified sword.
Seeing this, Jiang Deng outside the field touched his chin.
So this is the method used for forging iron when refining weapons? It doesn’t look difficult to learn!
Jiang Deng looked away and turned to look at Chi Lian beside him.
Chi Lian also swung the hammer to hit the iron, but she did not use any spiritual power, she simply used her physical strength to hammer the black iron.
Each blow seemed to be made with all her strength. As the hammer head smashed down with force, tiny impurities in the black iron were expelled. Apart from that, there was nothing else to see. Apart from the fact that she was a little stronger, her technique looked very ordinary.
Perhaps this action seemed unremarkable to others, but Jiang Deng widened his eyes slightly.
wrong!
Chi Lian's every move actually implies the spiritual charm of a physical cultivator. Could it be that she is actually a physical cultivator?
Jiang Deng looked at Chi Lian again and again, frowning.
She didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from Chi Lian, as if she was just an ordinary mortal, but this was very strange...
Can a mortal obtain the black iron needed to refine a spirit weapon?
While Jiang Deng was thinking, Chi Lian and Yan Hai had finished forging the iron.
"Old Master, please."
The two men made way and asked the old abbot to come forward and make the decision.
The old master is also a weapon refiner, and his rank is not low. He is now a ground-level weapon refiner.
He repeatedly examined the iron blocks the two men had forged, compared them, and finally said in a deep voice, "This round, Chi Lian wins!"
"How is that possible!"
The frightened voices of the crowd rang out one after another.
The old monk explained, "Although Chi Lian is not a cultivator, the black iron she hammered has the least impurities and the strongest toughness. The difference between the two is obvious."
Chi Lian smiled calmly, "Uncle Yan, please accept my offer."
Yan Hai seemed unable to accept that he, an Earth-rank weapon refiner, was actually defeated by Chi Lian, an apprentice who had not yet completed his apprenticeship. He looked extremely horrified.
"How could a mortal apprentice like you be better at blacksmithing than a Yuanying realm cultivator like me?"
