Hearing this, Jiang Deng also became curious.
Is there any quick way to refine weapons?
Doesn't this suit her very well?
The others obviously thought the same thing and they all stared at Chi Lian, hoping to get the shortcut to refining weapons from her.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chi Lian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Excuse me, this is already my 100th year as an apprentice, and it just so happens that I have also been a blacksmith for 100 years. No one can surpass me in blacksmithing."
Everyone: “…”
Since you are so capable, why don’t you become a disciple?
Why do you have to keep forging iron? Isn’t it better to just refine the equipment?
The old workshop owner obviously thought so too. He looked at Chi Lian and said sincerely, "Although you were picked up by Elder Teng a hundred years ago, you are not under the jurisdiction of our weapon refining workshop."
"But now that you've been an apprentice in our weapon forging workshop for so many years, and since you've already mastered the blacksmithing skills, it's time to learn the other steps so you can become a qualified weapon refiner soon."
"So, Chi Lian, are you willing to become a junior refiner in my refinery workshop? The salary of a junior refiner will double what you earn now as an apprentice."
Chi Lian counted on his fingers.
If the apprentice's salary is doubled, it will only be 20 high-grade spirit stones. It sounds like there is no future for making money...
So, Chi Lian laughed and decisively refused, "I'm only interested in blacksmithing, not in being a weapon refiner."
“What a pity…”
The old owner sighed, knowing that Chi Lian's temper was just like the iron she forged, and she was a man of her word, so she didn't try to persuade him anymore and turned to look at the people around her who were still in a daze.
"Stop standing there and get to work! You're a master weapon refiner, but you're not even as good as an apprentice, and you still have the nerve to slack off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone started working enthusiastically.
Yan Hai's face turned pale and blue, and he took one last look at Chi Lian, snorted coldly, and was about to leave.
Chi Lian's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for those around him to hear clearly. "Uncle Yan, I sincerely advise you not to participate in the competition given your ability! Otherwise, you will bring shame to our workshop."
Yan Hai's expression turned even uglier. He lowered his voice and said, "Chi Lian, you're courting death!"
Chi Lian's eyes widened as he asked sincerely, "I'm not a dung beetle, why would I be looking for shit? You keep mentioning shit, are you a dung beetle?"
“…Go to hell!”
In just a moment, the aura around Yan Hai condensed, and he took out the low-grade earth-level spiritual sword he had just refined and was about to chop towards Chi Lian!
Because he used up almost half of his spiritual power in this sword, the pressure of the late Nascent Soul Realm burst out!
The Jindan realm cultivators standing by were all a little unsteady on their feet, let alone going forward to rescue Chi Lian.
Seeing the sharp sword blade getting closer and closer to him, Chi Lian still stood there woodenly, as if he had not reacted at all, let alone dodged.
"stop!"
Seeing this, the old abbot shouted hurriedly, but he was some distance away from Chi Lian and could not come to save him at all.
When the long sword in Yan Hai's hand was about to touch Chi Lian, at this critical moment!
A black sword light flashed!
Clang——
The magic sword in Yan Hai's hand shattered with a sound!
He was forced to take several steps back by the powerful force carried by the other sword, covering his chest with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone, including Yan Hai, looked up in surprise and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of Chi Lian.
The woman was dressed in a sky-blue outfit and held a black heavy sword about seven feet long in her hand, exuding a terrifyingly powerful strength!
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the heavy sword. It could actually cut an earth-grade spiritual sword in half with one sword. This sword must be at least a heaven-grade spiritual sword!
Facing everyone's strange looks, Jiang Deng felt uncomfortable all over. He quickly put away the heavy sword and turned to look at Yan Hai opposite him.
"You're so old and you're still trying to sneak attack me. You're disrespectful to your elders. I'll send you to hell right now!"
After saying that, Jiang Deng slapped Yan Hai on the chest.
"……stop!"
The old abbot finally arrived. Seeing that Yan Hai was unable to resist Jiang Deng's attack, he hurriedly took it over and saved Yan Hai's life.
Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, he's about to launch a surprise attack and kill someone, and you're still protecting him?"
The old monk shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Miss, it's not what you think. It's just that killing is forbidden in Nangong City. If you kill him, I'm afraid you will be driven away by the law enforcement team immediately."
Jiang Deng's brows relaxed, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart, "So are we going to let him go like this? That would be too free to do such a bad thing."
The old monk did not answer Jiang Deng, but turned back to look at Yan Hai, "Yan Hai, you have already offended everyone. I can't keep you here any longer. You should leave."
"Since you've been working in the workshop for so long, I'm giving you one last piece of advice. Your character is too bad, and your tolerance is too narrow. If you continue like this, you'll probably never achieve anything great. You'd better change..."
Yan Hai stared at me with his eyes wide open, saying in disbelief, "I've refined so many spiritual weapons for the workshop, and you're actually trying to kick me out just for an apprentice!"
The old abbot sighed, but nodded.
Yan Hai gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes sweeping over everyone fiercely, "Just wait! When I become the champion of the weapon refining competition and establish connections with the Nangong family, I will definitely make you suffer!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
It's over. Once he made the vow, it was doomed to fail.
With a cold snort, Yan Hai covered his chest where his blood was surging, and quickly left the weapon refining workshop, not knowing where to go.
The old monk then looked at Jiang Deng and asked, "I would like to thank you for your bravery, but do you have anything else to do?"
Jiang Deng waved his hand, "Nothing, you guys are busy, I just came over to take a look."
"good."
Considering that Jiang Deng had just saved Chi Lian, the old abbot did not drive Jiang Deng away and walked straight back to his seat as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that the excitement was over, the others continued to work hard on the iron and no longer paid much attention to Chi Lian.
Only Jiang Deng, when he saw that everyone was no longer staring at him, hurriedly turned around and stared at Chi Lian with shining eyes.
Not bad!
This person's skills are quite good. If the two of them join forces, why won't they win the championship in the weapon refining competition?
Chi Lian got goose bumps all over his body when he saw Jiang Deng's strange look. "Although it's true that you saved me, I won't marry you."
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. "What are you thinking? I just wanted to ask you if you are interested in participating in the weapon refining competition?"
"...it would be better if I could pledge my love to you."
After saying that, Chi Lian lowered his head and continued to forge iron, muttering as he did so: "Sorry, I'm not interested in participating in the weapon refining competition."
Jiang Deng gritted his teeth, it seems that without paying something, he can't get anything for nothing!
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng took out ten high-grade spirit stones from the Eight Gates World and shook them in front of Chi Lian. "Are you interested now?"
