"Excuse me, are you Master Kong?"

Lin Hao walked up first and asked politely.

Kong Wu looked calm and said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, please tell me. I'm very busy."

"My name is Lin Hao, and I plan to learn weapon refining from you for a while."

Lin Hao smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and performed the etiquette of a junior.

My first impression of Master Kong Wu was that he was just as the rumors said, a person with an impatient temper.

"So you are the guy Tao Ling introduced last time."

Hearing this, Kong Wu couldn't help but look at Lin Hao a few more times with his sharp eyes.

"How much do you know about refining?"

He asked bluntly.

"I haven't gotten started yet." Lin Hao replied truthfully.

"You haven't gotten started? That means you don't understand anything."

Kong Wu seemed to refuse.

"I don't accept useless people who know nothing in this place."

However, when he thought of the good wine that Tao Ling had prepared for him, he suddenly changed the subject:

"Don't say I'm unkind. How about this? I'll give you ten days."

"If you can learn the fire-controlling hand seal, I'll give you a chance."

After saying that, he took out a scarlet jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Hao.

Generally speaking, weapon refiners have special hand seals for controlling fire.

By changing the hand seals, the strength of the flame and the temperature can be controlled.

Moreover, the corresponding fire-controlling handprints for refining different materials are completely different.

Therefore, practicing these skills is not only a good way to get started, but also the best way to test one's talent for refining equipment.

"If you can't learn it within ten days, don't come to me to avoid wasting everyone's time."

Kong Wu's words clearly had a hint of dismissal.

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Lin Hao and turned directly towards the weapon refining room in the inner hall.

Ten days?

Looking at Kong Wu's leaving back, Lin Hao raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Ding, checking that the host has obtained a weapon refining technique of "Fire Control Seal Art". Do you want to enable the scanning function?"

"yes."

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Hao recited silently without hesitation.

The next moment, the red jade slip in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there was a red crystal that only Lin Hao could see.

“Fusion.”

Lin Hao's mind moved slightly, and the red crystal instantly merged into his mind.

All kinds of complicated fire-controlling skills were mastered as if they had been enlightened.

Lin Hao raised his hands to his chest, and with the surge of spiritual power, he formed seals in an instant.

The fire spiritual energy in the air suddenly became agitated.

Immediately, a tiny flame emerged from Lin Hao's handprint.

Like nimble little fire snakes, they were moving around the ten fingers.

"this……"

Upon seeing this, the weapon-making servants around stopped their chores.

They all looked surprised, staring at the little fire snake swirling between Lin Hao's fingers.

As an entry-level fire-controlling hand seal, they were very clear about it, there were a total of sixty-eight types of hand seals.

Each seal corresponds to a different flame temperature.

In addition, precise control techniques must be achieved.

At this time, the seal Lin Hao used was just the simplest first-level fire-controlling hand seal.

However, the flexible manipulation of flames has apparently reached the master level of perfection!

All the chores disciples were shocked by this.

This guy, has he really never learned how to refine weapons before?

"Um?"

Feeling the flame fluctuations behind him, Master Kong Wu turned around in confusion.

When he saw the flames lingering between Lin Hao's fingers, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

As the seals between Lin Hao's hands changed, the power of fire around him continued to surge, and bursts of explosions seemed to be heard in the air.

Finally, when Lin Hao had finished performing all sixty-eight fire-controlling hand seals, Kong Wu had already walked in front of Lin Hao again.

"Young man, you have practiced the Fire Control Seal Technique quite well. It seems that you are well prepared."

He had a deep smile on his face, and it was obvious that he greatly admired Lin Hao's talent in controlling fire.

Lin Hao nodded, smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Now that you have entered the door, you will practice beside me from now on. Come in with me."

After Kong Wu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall again.

Lin Hao took a step forward and followed closely in.

"He just arrived and he has already been recognized by Master Kong. It's really remarkable."

"Isn't it? I've been in the Equipment Refining Pavilion for so long, but this is the first time I've seen the master praise someone else."

Seeing this scene, the servants around were suddenly filled with envy.

Everyone admired Lin Hao's abilities.

Walking into the refining room, compared to the refining rooms Lin Hao had seen before, there was no difference in the various furnishings.

However, the materials displayed here are all rare species.

Mysterious cold iron, purple gold stone, black meteorite iron, fierce ice crystal marrow...

No matter which one it is, if it were released to the outside world, it would definitely be a top-grade treasure that would cause a sensation.

However, here, the refining materials are just placed randomly, and there is no high-end storage treatment at all.

"Since you have already mastered the art of controlling fire, today I will teach you how to refine the materials."

As he spoke, Kong Wu stretched out his hand and immediately sucked a palm-sized purple gold stone into his hand.

"Generally speaking, there are three types of flames for refining materials."

Kong Wu began to preach: "Dead fire, living fire, and spiritual fire."

"The so-called dead fire is the firewood we usually use to boil water. The control of the fire is relatively dull."

"Living fire is the flame condensed by spiritual energy. The temperature can be adjusted flexibly and varied."

"As for the spiritual fire, do you know what it is?"

At this point, Kong Wu raised a question and threw it to Lin Hao.

"Soul fire."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "When I participated in the Hundred Academy Competition before, I saw a spirit casting master perform it in Wuling City."

Wuling City?

Hearing this place name, Kong Wu looked thoughtful.

"That spirit casting master, if I'm not mistaken, his name is Zhao Kun."

Then he laughed deeply.

"Master Kong knows him?"

Hearing this, Lin Hao's expression changed slightly.

"More than knowing him, he is my disciple from 20 years ago."

Kong Wu shook his head and sighed, "But this kid was too obsessed with collecting treasures and offended the Dark Palace Sect's guardian elder 'Wu Yan'."

"Later, he was framed and expelled from the palace."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly.

It seems that this 'Wu Yan' still has some means in the Nine Great Halls. Even Kong Wu's apprentice could be expelled by his conspiracy.

In this regard, Lin Hao couldn't help but be more careful.

From now on, you must be cautious when doing things in the Dark Temple.

Otherwise, once you are framed by that old guy, it will not be easy to turn things around!

"A while ago, you and that girl Tao Ling killed that pervert Di Yao while on a mission in the Dark Palace Sect."

Kong Wu was obviously well-informed, and he laughed heartily, "I heard that guy was Wu Wei's illegitimate son. Well done for killing him!"

"It would be best to make that old bastard have no offspring, haha!!"

Little did they know that at this very moment, a figure appeared at the door of the refining room.

That person was wearing the robe of an elder of the Dark Temple.

As luck would have it, it was none other than Wu Wei!
