"Isn't this the magic weapon refined by Qin Dai?" The Qin Dai that Kong Lanying mentioned is a student in their weapon refining academy.
The name that could be said by Kong Lanying was naturally not an ordinary person. Qin Dai was one of the most talented students in the Equipment Refining Academy. In the first year he entered the school, he almost became Kong Lanying's student.
"Dou Dou, can you show it to Uncle Kong?" Kong Lanying seemed to be a little interested in this magic weapon.
Zhongli and Yue immediately returned to their aloof expressions and nodded reservedly, "Of course, Uncle Kong."
After saying that, he handed it over.
Kong Lanying's fingers lightly stroked the magic weapon and he was sure that it was a magic weapon refined in the Qin Dynasty. A year ago, he was the only student who could refine a magic weapon.
"You just mentioned that this magic weapon has been repaired by anyone. Can you tell Uncle Kong the details?"
When Patriarch Zhongli heard his friend's question, he was surprised, "Why, is there something wrong with this magic weapon?"
"The problem is that there is no problem." Kong Lanying said with a hint of meaning.
Zhongli, Yue and Song Mingming might not have heard it, but the head of the Zhongli family understood what his friend meant.
Kong Lanying asked them to speak first. Zhongli and Yue knew nothing. Song Mingming, who knew the truth, stood up and cried without tears. He didn't want people to know that the magic weapon his uncle gave him was broken, but he had to say it in public.
Song Mingming didn't dare to hide it. In front of him were two of the smartest elders in China. Not to mention lying, even if he had the idea, he couldn't hide it from them.
"That person was recommended by someone else. I didn't have high expectations, so I gave him Doudou's magic weapon to try. I was surprised that he actually fixed it."
Zhongli and Yue glared at him viciously where the two elders couldn't see.
Song Mingming stuck out his tongue. Now that his grandfather was around, he was not afraid of her.
Kong Lanying touched the stubble on her chin.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something." Song Mingming exclaimed, "He seems to have a master. He is so powerful, his master must be very famous. I was thinking of asking someone to check if there are any powerful weapon refining masters in Qing City when I come back."
As a result, he was locked up by his family for two days. If it weren't for today, he might have remembered it after a while.
Patriarch Zhongli nodded slightly and looked at Kong Lanying, "Among the weapon refining masters you know, are there any who have recently accepted disciples?"
Those who had accepted disciples in the past were definitely not them, because none of them were from Qing City.
"As far as I know, no. It could be some hidden weapon master. I never thought that a small coastal city like Qing City would have a young weapon master whose talent is not much worse than Qin Dai's. I really want to know who his master is."
The two masters who were led astray by Song Mingming both thought that there really was a weapon refining master behind Gao Han, and the misunderstanding arose.
"The lack of spiritual energy on the earth is becoming more and more serious, and more and more monsters are breeding. If there really is a hidden master of refining equipment, perhaps we can contact him." The head of the Zhongli family said in a light tone, but with a hint of meaning.
Kong Lanying smiled and said, "That's right. I'm also curious about what would happen if China produced another master-level weapon refiner."
Song Mingming and Zhongli Heyue were completely confused.
"Uncle Kong, what are you talking about?" Song Mingming was impatient and asked immediately.
"What's the name of the instrument master who helped you repair the magic weapon?" Kong Lanying answered the question irrelevantly.
Song Mingming's idea was immediately taken away. "I know, I heard from my uncle that his name is Gao Han, and he seems to be a member of the Tang family."
"The Tang family?" Patriarch Zhongli frowned first, "But the Tang family in the imperial capital? How did your uncle know?"
"No, it's the Tang family in Qing City. I heard that it's a branch of the Tang family in the imperial capital," Song Mingming waved his hands quickly, "My uncle asked him to help refine a similar magic weapon for cousin Shu Ting. After a few visits, it seems that they have crossed paths."
"Chen Mingde?" Patriarch Zhongli remembered.
Song Mingming nodded.
"Chen Mingde is a very shrewd businessman. Since he dares to deal with him, there must be something hidden. However..." Patriarch Zhongli suddenly paused and glanced at his friend, "Based on just one magic weapon, are you sure that Gao Han's talent is comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty?"
Kong Lanying smiled and handed over the magic weapon.
Although the head of the Zhongli family is not a weapon master, he has come into contact with a lot of weapons over the years. After a closer look, he found that this is a formation weapon.
"This formation device is Qin Dai's masterpiece from a year ago. It is a formation device with the device body as the formation. There are only a few people in the Equipment Refining Academy who can make it. I didn't expect it to fall into Doudou's hands." Kong Lanying said with a smile.
"Oh?" Patriarch Zhongli looked at the magic weapon carefully again. With his eyes, he could still see that the magic weapon had been repaired twice, but it was close to perfect.
"This person should have some knowledge of battle formations, but he may have only been in the field for a short time. However, the fact that he was able to perfectly repair this battle formation is enough to show that he has extraordinary talent," Kong Lanying said, "Mingming, do you know where this person is now?"
"I heard from my uncle that he seemed to be a student of Penglai University as well, and he left Qing City because school had started." Song Mingming smacked his lips in amazement. He didn't expect Uncle Kong to praise him so much. He felt a little proud in his heart, as if he hadn't misjudged him.
"I see." Kong Lanying stroked his stubble. "Since he is a student of Penglai and has such talent, he might be a freshman."
After listening to Song Mingming's description, he thought that this weapon maker must be quite old, but he didn't expect that he was still a student.
With such a talent, he would become famous in Penglai within a year, but he had never heard of it. The only possibility was a new life.
"Uncle Kong, are you going to look for him?" Song Mingming asked excitedly.
Kong Lanying shook her head and said with a smile, "Since he is a student of Penglai, I believe we will meet soon. You are lucky to meet a young and capable weapon master in a small city like Qing."
Song Mingming's tail was raised with pride, but Zhongli and Yuebai looked at him and said that he was fat and out of breath.
The head of the Zhongli family still sent people to investigate Gao Han. For a prominent family like the Zhongli family, it would be easy to investigate a person.
But within one day, someone handed over all the information about Gao Han.
"I didn't expect that Gao Han is actually Yuan Zhengrong's son." After reading Gao Han's life, the head of the Zhongli family couldn't help but sigh, and then told Kong Lanying about it.
"Yuan Zhengrong who was exiled to the branch?"
It had been a long time since the incident, but the two had heard of the name Yuan Zhengrong. It was easy for spirit cultivators to remember things, so when the name was mentioned, even Kong Lanying, who didn't pay much attention to students, remembered it.
Because Yuan Zhengrong was once a student of Penglai, but he dropped out before completing his studies and was demoted to a branch in a small city by the powerful old man of the Yuan family.
At that time, I felt it was a pity, because Yuan Zhengrong had a talent for refining weapons. If some things had not happened, his achievements might not even be comparable to those of the Qin Dynasty.
"That old guy Yuan Tianli is really cruel. He has been dead for so many years, but he has not made any statement. It seems that he really treats him as if he has never had this grandson. What a pity." Kong Lanying sighed.
"The Yuan family is now at its peak, and Yuan Zhengrong is not the only talented descendant. In Yuan Tianli's heart, a disobedient grandson can be given up, and the Yuan family can afford to compensate." The head of the Zhongli family had a dignified and indifferent expression. He always sneered at such a family that could casually abandon and ignore even blood relatives.
"No wonder his son is so talented. It turns out that he inherited his father's talent. Interesting." The more Kong Lanying thought about it, the more interesting it became. "If the Yuan family knew that Yuan Zhengrong, whom they had demoted, had given birth to an outstanding son, I wonder if they would change their minds."
“Humph, it was Yuan Tianli who personally demoted the people back then. Given his stubborn character, he will never admit it.” said the head of the Zhongli family.
"That's true. Why don't you win him over?" Kong Lanying suggested jokingly.
Patriarch Zhongli shook his head. "There is no rush now. If this person is really capable, he will become famous in Penglai sooner or later. It won't be too late then."
As for the Tang family, even if they are half related by blood, the other half of their blood is still from another family. The Tang family will never bring back a person from another family who has become alienated from the family for training.
以高寒现在的层次，两人还不至于亲自出马，钟离家主会调查高寒，也不过是为了自己的外孙。
此事过后，两人便将这事抛却脑后。
等他们再次听说高寒的事迹时，事情的轨道与他们设想的偏离了十万八千里。
……
高寒参观完炼器学院，之后才去办理住宿，蓬莱大学的新生需要在校住满一年，方可到外面住。
不过学校的住宿条件相对来说已经很不错，很多资源也能就近享受到，到校外居住可能就没有了，所以直接愿意出去住的，反而没多少。
住宿的条件有好有坏，以原主的情况，住的宿舍无疑是最差的四人宿舍。
蓬莱学院有四种住宿条件，单人，二人和四人，单人又分别墅和普通宿舍，别墅只有一班的学生有资格住，其他的可以申请，但需要交高昂的费用。
高寒掏空身上的存款，从四人宿舍换到了单人宿舍，整个手续下来需要三天，这三天里，他必须住在原来的四人宿舍。
去宿舍前，高寒给钟离庭洲发了一条信息，询问他什么时候过来。
知他莫若钟离庭洲，一看到他消息，就知道他今晚可能要动用灵能，回了等我两个字。
高寒放心的收起通讯器。
蓬莱大学很大，从炼器学院走回宿舍，要花半个多小时，因为宿舍可住的人越多，地理位置就越偏。
高寒是第一个回来的，虽是四人宿舍，但里面的空间其实也不小，隔成四个空间，只是没有门，别人一探头就能看到你在里面干什么。
原主的东西很少，床桌子椅子和柜子，该有的有，多余的就是门口堆了好几袋的垃圾，还有放在他房里的杂物。
这些都不是原主的东西。
正想着，宿舍的门就开了，一阵说说笑笑的热闹声随着打开的门轰然挤满宿舍。
“哟，这不是高少爷吗，新学期这么早就来学校啦。”杨定是高寒的舍友之一，睡在高寒对面，房里的杂物都是他放的。
原主刚入学那会，学校划给他的房间也放满杨定的杂物，这次假期，他似乎没有回家，又故计重施，他的房间当成放杂物的地方。
杨定这话不无讽刺，原主算什么高少爷，而且他上学期只是转学晚，不过因为入学晚，这一个多月，他和宿舍三个的关系都不好，杨定三人也对原主一直爱搭不理。
杨定发现高寒在看他床上的杂物，皮笑肉不笑地说道：“真是不好意思啊，我还以为你这学期也要过很久才来，我这会有事要忙，你要是不介意的话，我晚上再收拾收拾。”
“我要是介意呢？”高寒倚着门边，目光清冷。
杨定脸上的笑容凝固了，“你说什么？”
“现在，马上把你的杂物和垃圾收走。”高寒掷地有声，一股不容忽视的气势扑向杨定。
杨定脸色变了变，这个曾经懦弱得他说一句话都不敢吭声的高寒，居然会反驳他了？
“就不能等一会吗，我现在有点事。”杨定心中不爽，没好气地说道。
“觉得自己现在很有理？”高寒眼皮上掀，瞟了他一眼。
杨定顿时说不出话了。
“你这人怎么样，杨定都说了他有事，过一会再收拾会少块肉吗？”
“就是，大家同一个宿舍的，杨定平时那么辛苦，包容一下又不会怎么样。”两个室友顿时看不过去。
“他辛不辛苦与我何干，我们是朋友吗？”高寒冷漠的目光在他们脸上一一划过，面带讥讽，最后定在杨定身上，“你在嫉妒，或者自卑什么，需要到我身上找存在感？”
杨定顿时有种衣服被扒光，赤身裸体站在他面前的错觉，好像自己心里最龌龊的想法被看得清清楚楚，不由怨恨起来。
“就算你不把我们当朋友，也不需要这样说吧，你一个九班的吊车尾，有什么能让我嫉妒自卑的，你在开玩笑吗？”杨定嗤地一声。
“就是，文化成绩好又怎么样，实力还不是烂泥扶不上墙，杨定可是一班的，需要嫉妒你什么，你嫉妒杨定还差不多吧。”
“一班的吊车尾吗？”高寒眯起锋利的眼睛，似杨定这种人，他不是看不出来他在想什么。
普通家庭出身的人，家里可能有几十万存款，但要负担起一个上蓬莱大学的儿子，这点家产肯定不够。
蓬莱大学遍地都是富家子，心性不够坚定的杨定，在这里生活了一学期，心态自然失衡得快。
他辛辛苦苦，修炼赚钱，日夜颠倒，每天睡眠不足三个小时，为的就是保证自己不被踢出一班，失去尖子生的荣耀与光环，那些富家子却什么也不用付出，就能得到他努力得来的东西，甚至更多，叫他如何甘心。
是以，发现原主也是富二代，性格软，好欺负，杨定便将自己的压力发泄在原主身上。
却不知，和他一样出身平凡，在一班并不是没有，他们怎么就不像他一般怨天尤人。
说到底还是心性的问题，以他这种心境修炼下去，日后的成就也不会多高，他拼尽全力保全进入一班的名次，掉下去只是时间早晚。
杨定的室友简直不敢相信，一个九班的吊尾巴，居然嘲笑在一班的杨定。
可只有杨定知道，高寒意味深长的话正正戳中他心里最恐惧的地方。
“算了，收拾就收拾吧。”杨定拉住想要上前跟高寒理论的室友。
“这种人活该被排挤，我们来帮你。”室友瞪了高寒一眼。
明明是他们有错在先，可几句话下来，高寒反倒成了得理不饶人的坏人。
三天后他就搬走，高寒也懒得跟他们多费口舌。
这种护犊子般的现象不管放到任何地方，都再正常不过，朋友亲人总会忽略问题的本质，不由自主的代入到自已人的立场上，从而无视对错，所以才说旁观者清吧。
三人很快将放在高寒屋里的东西收走，却不打算帮他擦洗一下，被提醒了，又瞪了高寒一眼，才不情不愿的清理干净。
高寒摇了摇头，也就这样了。
如若不是学校规定，他并不想来这里看这些人的脸色。
确定他们清理干净后，高寒便出门了。
他一走，杨定三人又聚集在一起。
“这个高寒怎么跟变了个人似的，要不是你叫出他的名字，我都认不出他了。”室友张文忍不住对杨定说道。
杨定勉强的笑了笑，他其实没有仔细看，能认出高寒是因为宿舍只有他们四人，除了他们三个，只有高寒有钥匙进来，当时说完才看到高寒，差点以为自己认错了。
高寒何止变了样，整个人陌生至极，相貌和气质，都发生了翻天覆地的变化，成为他印象中那群趾高气昂，不把他们放在眼里的富贵子弟。
“现在的他看起来很不好相与，以后我们不要理他就是了，杨定，你也小心点，别去触霉头。”另一名室友也跟着说，他们这些没背景的平民，都不太想惹麻烦。
杨定沉下脸，垂着眼眸说：“嗯，我有分寸。”
高寒离开宿舍，早上他已将蓬莱大学熟悉过一遍，很快就在学生回宿舍的必经之路找到一片空地。
从弥生戒里取出桌椅，摆上修补法器的宣传牌子，就这样等生意上门。
学期才刚开始，那些缺钱的平民学生，不少也会这样做，但他们有特定的摆摊地点，少有会像他这样摆在过道上，显得有点扎眼。
高寒之所以不去那里，有一个顾虑，法器学院的学生多有熟悉的器师，一般不会交给陌生人修补，想像在青市那样抢李大他们的生意，是不可能的。
吃完食堂回宿舍的学生，很快就注意到高寒的存在，尤其是女生。
那张扎眼的俊脸，就是门面担当，但因没人认识他，都犹豫着没敢上前。
……
食堂，三个精力旺盛的学生一边往外走，一边说着话。
“耗子，你真打算去找袁哲那家伙？”余盛口中的耗子正一脸烦闷。
“不找他又能怎么办，袁哲那家伙摆明了吃定耗子，居然让一班的学生不准帮耗子，再过一段时间就是校内排名比赛，这可关系到名次，能不能进一班！法器到时要是还没修好，耗子的战斗力也会打上折扣，他就是知道这一点，才敢那样做。”
气愤难平的还有严胖，全名严云京，因为虚胖，外号严胖，气得他又往嘴里塞了一把薯片。
“可是，再回去找他，当初夸下了海口，岂不是打自己的脸，要不我们还是找别人吧，我就不信，整个蓬莱大学除了他们还没有人了。”余盛犹豫地说道。
“问题是上哪找。”章浩就是耗子，耷拉着脑袋，心里也没什么主意，听到他们的话又叹了一口气。
"In the Equipment Refining Academy, the best students are in Class 1, and they have a good relationship with Yuan Zhe. Whoever dares to help Haozi repair the magic weapon is against Yuan Zhe. No one even in Class 1 dares to stand up, let alone the classes behind. He wants to force Haozi to death." Fat Yan said with a clatter.
"Tsk, does he really think that he has the final say in the first-year weapon refining academy? At worst... at worst we can just buy a new weapon." Yu Sheng said angrily.
"The problem is that I don't have money." Zhang Hao gave him a resentful look. If he had money, he wouldn't have to find someone to repair the magic weapon. "Besides, a mid-level magic weapon would empty my family's savings. How can I get the money to buy another magic weapon of the same level?"
Yu Sheng frowned and said, "Fat Yan and I can also raise some money for you. You can't keep going like this. Without your magic weapon, it will be difficult for you to conduct actual combat training. If you fall behind during this period of time, who knows if someone will catch up with you later."
"Forget it. Let me take another look. The magic weapon I'm using now is the one you borrowed money from me to buy." Zhang Hao said gloomily.
"In fact, based on Haozi's ranking last semester, his grades shouldn't fall below the bottom of the class in this school ranking." Fat Yan's tone was comforting, and there was a hint of truth in it.
Zhang Hao shook his head. "This is not a matter of falling out of the first class. Our resources are limited to begin with. If we don't work harder than others, the gap will only widen in the future."
Speaking of this, Yu Sheng and Yan Pang's expressions also became a little gloomy.
Although they are not as short of money as Zhang Hao, they do not have his talent. Now one of them is in Class 2 and the other is in Class 3.
"Hey, have you heard that there is a student from the Equipment Refining Academy setting up a stall in front, claiming that he can repair anything."
"I don't know if it's true, but he's very handsome, and he's pleasing to the eye even from a distance."
"Really? Then I must go and take a look. There are several handsome guys in the Equipment Refining Academy. Which handsome guy is he?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's a new student. I've never seen him before."
"A freshman is brave enough to set up a stall on his first day of school. This guy is quite brave. Let's go and take a look."
The two girls said as they ran past the three people.
Zhang Hao and the other two looked at each other.
"A new student? Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe this guy can help Haozi repair the magic weapon?" Fat Yan suggested.
Zhang Hao was a little hesitant. They knew nothing about the freshmen. If something went wrong, would the other party be responsible?
"It's better to go and take a look, and then make a decision." Yu Sheng felt that it didn't matter if he just took a look.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and agreed.
The three followed the two girls and came to Gao Han's stall.
