"This is Ye Hao, Fellow Daoist Ye."
Jiang Yu explained to Ye Hao and Huang Ba.
Ye Hao looked at Huang Ba and bowed slightly. "Yes, Director Huang, I would like to apply for the position of Deputy Director."
"Alright, what is Fellow Daoist Ye good at? Refining ores, or manufacturing?"
“Or, you could have a Level 4 weapon refiner certificate,” Huang Ba said from the side, while preparing the assessment materials.
Weapon refiners are a very common profession on the mainland. As the profession developed, a weapon refiner association was eventually established.
To assess forging skills, weapon refiners are divided into nine ranks, and they can be assessed by participating in an examination at the association.
A fourth-grade weapon refiner is already considered to be at a relatively high level.
"I haven't passed the weapon refiner exam, but I'm good at mechanical manufacturing and I also know a little about refining ores," Ye Hao replied.
"Oh?" Huang Ba frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.
Generally, skilled blacksmiths aspire to become high-ranking weapon refiners.
This young man, despite his striking features and dignified appearance, failed the weapon refiner exam. Could he be here to play a trick on him?
Seeing Huang Ba's hesitation, Ye Hao said directly, "Director Huang, let's begin the assessment."
Okay.
"On the left is a piece of refined gold ore, and on the right is a piece of refined gold and a component of a magical artifact."
"Within one hour, if you can refine the refined gold ore to 80% purity, or use refined gold to forge that magical artifact component with an error margin of no more than 3%, you will be considered to have passed the test. Do you understand?" Huang Ba explained to Ye Hao.
"Understood," Ye Hao said, looking at Huang Ba. It was simpler than he had imagined.
He only needs about fifteen minutes to purify the gold, and he can guarantee that the impurities do not exceed five percent. Their cultivation of the True Phoenix Technique is excellent for forging, and with the True Phoenix Fire as the foundation, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As for crafting the components, there's nothing to say. Li Haoran next door was still examining the small bead with a magnifying glass, marveling at its exquisite structure.
Let's begin.
With a sound, Ye Hao chose the mechanical fabrication method. After all, he preferred fabrication to purification, as it was easier.
Time passed second by second, and the component in Ye Hao's hands gradually took shape. The high temperature brought by the True Phoenix Fire made the refined gold easy to soften and shape, and with Ye Hao's skill, there were no difficulties in the process.
"Such exquisite flames, and such skillful technique, probably not inferior to mine. There shouldn't be any problems," Huang Ba thought, casting an admiring glance.
"Phew," Ye Hao exhaled.
Half an hour later, the component was completed. He didn't use his full strength, but he was confident he could pass the test.
“1.8 percent error, passed.” Huang Ba compared the component handed to him by Ye Hao with the original, slightly surprised, and his gaze toward Ye Hao became much more amiable.
"Congratulations! We'll be colleagues from now on, hahaha," Huang Ba laughed. He could tell that Ye Hao hadn't used his full strength, so he didn't say much. There would be plenty of time later.
"Senior Brother Huang, you're too kind. We'll need your help in the future." Ye Hao and Lu Yeling were also very happy to have passed the test. It went better than they had imagined, and they no longer had to guard the gate.
Lu Yeling also easily passed the Yellow Rank assessment and worked alongside Ye Hao in the Forging Department as an assistant.
Huang Ba then explained the situation to Ye Hao, including the monthly tasks and rewards.
As evening approached, Jiang Yu led the three to the canteen to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, while explaining the situation of the Xuan Yu Sect.
"The spiritual energy on the main peak is extremely rich. Each of the nine peaks has its own advantages. For example, the first peak is good at alchemy, the second peak is good at weapon crafting, and the third peak is good at swordsmanship. All of them are directly managed by Heaven and Earth level elders."
"Then what happened at the Forging Division just now? Wasn't there a Forging Peak?" Ye Hao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, the Xuan Yu Sect not only has eleven central peaks, but each main peak also has nine smaller peaks. The peak masters of the smaller peaks are usually disciples of the elders of the corresponding main peaks, and they are not considered official positions."
"The Forging Division just now was only responsible for the Xuan Yu Sect's daily expenses and the weapon-forging needs of the other smaller peaks," Jiang Yu explained.
"Understood"
The four of them then went to the cafeteria for a meal.
