Seeing this, Lu Chen knew that his life was safe. At least, as long as he didn't provoke the people of Flower Fairy Valley, his identity as a master weapon refiner was his protection.
It's hard to imagine that these elders from Flower Fairy Valley would have to treat them with utmost respect.
This status is worlds apart from that of a flower slave.
Even a Dharma protector is far inferior.
"In the art of weapon forging, the most important element is fire. Some extremely precious materials are so hard that ordinary flames cannot melt them; one must rely on the power of earth fire!"
Elder Ye Qing's face showed a hint of helplessness when he mentioned this.
"Earth fire?"
Lu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.
He recognized the earth fire; it was the fire of the earth's veins, not an ordinary flame, and it was extremely useful for refining weapons.
Unexpectedly, there is subterranean fire deep underground in Flower Fairy Valley.
Lu Chen was very interested.
The two of them walked downwards for an unknown amount of time before Lu Chen finally felt the heat starting to rise.
The temperature is getting higher and higher.
"Is this the subterranean fire?"
Lu Chen sensed waves of scorching heat and faint flames appearing ahead.
Suddenly, the view opened up before me.
Lu Chen looked closely and saw that in front of him was churning, scorching magma surrounded by crimson flames. The temperature inside was extremely high; if an ordinary person came here, they would probably be roasted to death instantly.
But Lu Chen did not feel any discomfort.
"Huh? Your strength is not bad!"
Elder Ye Qing looked surprised.
It should be noted that the aura Lu Chen was displaying at this moment was clearly that of a True Martial Realm cultivator. According to Ye Qing's common sense, Lu Chen should at least feel uncomfortable.
They couldn't even withstand the high temperatures here.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Chen looked completely at ease.
"If you've chosen the path of weapon crafting, and you can't even withstand this temperature, what's the point of crafting weapons?"
Lu Chen said with a disdainful look.
Elder Ye Qing was taken aback, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
"Lu Chen must have obtained some kind of fire-repelling treasure in the past and integrated it into his body, or he must have cultivated some kind of technique that has this effect!"
Elder Ye Qing had a guess in his mind.
"May I have your name?"
Elder Ye Qing suddenly realized that he didn't know how to address this young man.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen blurted out, "Thirteen."
Elder Ye Qing was stunned for a moment; this was clearly a flower slave's number.
In Flower Fairy Valley, all the flower slaves are nameless and do not need names, because in the eyes of all Flower Fairy Valley disciples, they are just servants, not even human.
However, this thirteenth is an exception.
"Since you know how to refine weapons, it would be a waste for you to become a flower servant. From now on, stay by my side and be a weapon-refining apprentice."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt something was off.
I feel like there's something wrong with this sentence, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
However, this could be an opportunity.
Lu Chen said half-jokingly, "What? Elder Ye Qing wouldn't have taken a fancy to me, would he? I only sell my art, not my body! Of course, if there's really no other way, I can only accept this fate."
This statement clearly carries another layer of meaning.
How could Elder Ye Qing not understand? Her expression instantly turned cold.
For a mere flower servant to dare to harbor such thoughts is simply like a toad lusting after a swan.
"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into this lava."
Lu Chen shrank back in fright, but he was actually quite calm inside and secretly amused.
I didn't expect that would work.
System notification: Your confession to Ye Qing failed. You have received a reward of +1 to your weapon crafting realm.
Lu Chen's original weapon-refining level had reached the ninth rank.
This time, he directly advanced to a higher realm, breaking through to become a master weapon refiner.
The so-called master craftsman is someone who can refine an ordinary material to its highest level.
Of course, if there are better materials, it may even surpass a grade.
For example, using the refining materials of King-grade battle weapons, one can forge the strongest weapon that surpasses the ninth rank.
Such grandmasters are extremely noble beings in the entire human world.
Lu Chen was overjoyed.
"I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
Lu Chen quickly shook his head, his face filled with fear.
This made the elder's expression soften slightly. "Enough with the nonsense, start forging! I'll be watching you. Just ask if you need anything. If you can't forge a weapon that surpasses the fifth rank, I'll kill you."
Elder Ye Qing knew that if he didn't put some pressure on this kid, he wouldn't know the gravity of the situation and would think it was just a joke.
Lu Chen immediately dropped his playful expression and became extremely serious. He took out the ordinary piece of green jade and black iron, examined it carefully for a moment, and then began the first step.
First, all the impurities contained in this green jade and black iron must be removed.
Although this Azure Jade Black Iron is just an ordinary material, it is perfectly capable of being used to forge weapons suitable for Venerable-level experts.
Lu Chen directly threw the piece of green jade black iron into the earth fire, controlling it with his Yuan power and repeatedly burning it.
Gradually, the impurities contained within were directly eliminated by the powerful empire, and this jade-black iron turned into a pool of molten iron.
"I see."
Elder Ye Qing also benefited greatly from watching Lu Chen's actions. Lu Chen's skill was not very good, and his technique in controlling the Azure Jade Iron was not very sophisticated.
However, Elder Ye Qing was amazed by Lu Chen's skill in controlling the heat.
