Lu Chen casually tossed the sword to Elder Ye Qing.
Elder Ye Qing was stunned as he held the fifth-tier weapon.
This sword is entirely jade-colored, like both iron and jade, exquisitely beautiful, and exudes a chilling aura; it is indeed extraordinary.
Elder Ye Qing became more and more satisfied with what she saw. She didn't think much of Lu Chen's arrogance. In her opinion, it was normal for someone with strength to have a temper.
Although this kid somehow ended up in Flower Fairy Valley as a flower slave, from now on, he is no longer a flower slave.
"Not bad! I didn't expect you to actually be able to forge a fifth-tier weapon from this ordinary piece of green jade and black iron. It seems that your skill level has indeed reached the fifth tier."
Ye Qing's expression showed a hint of excitement.
She herself, as an elder of the weapon-refining hall, was only at the third level. But no matter how high Lu Chen's weapon-refining skills were, he still had to obey her obediently, otherwise she could deal with him at any time.
"If you hadn't taken out the quenching agent beforehand, which reduced the quenching effect, we might have only managed to forge a sixth-tier weapon this time. Also, this Azure Jade Black Iron contains too many impurities; its purity is insufficient! It hasn't been completely removed yet!"
Lu Chen analyzed why the weapon refining process hadn't reached its best state this time. Ye Qing, standing beside him, nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking so obedient that it seemed as if she herself was a weapon refining apprentice listening to her master's teachings.
After listening, Ye Qing suddenly realized that something seemed amiss.
Are you lecturing me?
Elder Ye Qing sneered and stared at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen quickly waved his hand, instantly switching back to a fawning expression, and said, "No, no, how could I bear to punish Elder Ye Qing? I dote on you too much!"
"Speaking nonsense invites a beating."
Elder Ye Qing was instantly enraged. A green vine as thick as an arm suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flick of the vine, he bound Lu Chen tightly and hung him in the air.
Lu Chen felt bitter inside. This woman was indeed not to be trifled with. He had only teased her a little, but she had actually taken it seriously.
I originally thought that this time I had forged a fifth-tier weapon for her. Although it was only a weapon suitable for a Venerable, it at least demonstrated my weapon-forging skills and could greatly enhance my status.
He hadn't expected that Elder Ye Qing would turn on him so easily.
At this moment, Elder Ye Qing hung Lu Chen in front of him, and another green vine appeared in his hand.
Elder Ye Qing, holding a green vine, gave Lu Chen a severe beating.
Lu Chen felt a sense of helplessness; the physical damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong.
Only after Elder Ye Qing had vented his anger did he put Lu Chen down.
Elder Ye Qing led Lu Chen away from the weapon refining hall, arranged a place for him to stay, and then left after saying a few words.
"You will stay here and forge another weapon in a few days. I will prepare the materials in advance. If I find you daring to leave even half a step, I will cut off your legs."
Elder Ye Qing quickly disappeared without a trace.
Lu Chen then settled down in this manor.
In fact, those who can live in this manor are of extremely high status and position.
Ordinary flower servants simply don't have this qualification.
Even after being promoted from a flower slave to a Dharma protector, she still did not have her own residence.
Lu Chen was the only one.
There was no other way; after all, we had finally managed to capture a man with such superb weapon-refining skills. We really couldn't bear to kill him.
According to Elder Ye Qing's idea, Lu Chen should be locked up directly and used to forge weapons for all the disciples of Flower Fairy Valley.
Definitely a tool.
"If I could stay here forever, with these beautiful women to accompany and serve me, and my life was safe, it would seem pretty great."
Lu Chen pushed open the gate of this small courtyard, which was a private courtyard arranged for him by Elder Ye Qing.
The courtyard was also filled with flowers and plants, and was very well maintained. In the middle of the courtyard stood a tall jujube tree! It was clear that it was usually carefully cared for.
The air here is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Lu Chen then settled down here temporarily.
However, as Elder Ye Qing instructed, he was not allowed to leave the courtyard. Since he couldn't go out, he could only stay there obediently.
Of course, Lu Chen was not honest.
"I don't want to stay here forever as someone's tool for crafting weapons. I need to find out some useful information."
The arrival of Lu Chen, a fifth-order weapon-refining master, attracted great attention from Flower Fairy Valley.
After Elder Ye Qing reported the matter to the Valley Master, the entire leadership of Flower Fairy Valley immediately convened a meeting to discuss it.
The final decision was the same as Elder Ye Qing's: to keep Lu Chen as a tool, specifically for refining weapons.
After all, no one in the entire Flower Fairy Valley has a more skillful weapon-refining technique than Lu Chen.
It's such a waste for such a talented person to be a flower slave.
Ling Yan'er also heard about the outcome of the incident, and she was stunned when she learned that Lu Chen could actually refine weapons.
"How come I've never heard of this before?"
Ling Yan'er even doubted whether the person she had captured was actually Lu Chen.
Or perhaps the flower slave Elder Ye Qing mentioned is someone else entirely.
After making inquiries from various sources, and even personally visiting the secluded courtyard to confirm that it was indeed Lu Chen, Ling Yan'er was deeply moved and her heart remained unsettled for a long time.
"I never imagined this guy would learn such advanced weapon-refining techniques from somewhere. Could it be from the Xuanwu Academy?"
Ling Yan'er recalled what Lu Chen had said to her before, mentioning that if she helped him complete his mission, he would recommend her to the Xuanwu Academy.
