Chapter 368 Talent
In the weapon refining room of the Yu Lei Sect, Pan Chengfeng looked at the dark golden ore in the furnace and asked, "This dragon scale ore doesn't seem to be simple. Uncle Master is not afraid that I will ruin it?" Feng Tiesheng said calmly, "This is a metal ore. It's not that easy to ruin. At most, there are too many impurities, and the high-level material becomes a low-level material." Pan Chengfeng: "..."
Since Master Feng didn't feel bad, Pan Chengfeng didn't worry either. Pan Chengfeng had experience in smelting ore to extract essence and remove impurities, but he had never made an implement. With the help of the ground fire, Pan Chengfeng concentrated on controlling the ore in the furnace, first stripping off the useless slag, then increasing the firepower, slowly melting the ore, and at the same time using his mental power to slowly remove the impurities inside.
Master Feng sat aside waiting to see the joke, but the more he watched, the more frightened he became. Pan Chengfeng's entire process was smooth and flowing, and he didn't look like a novice at all, but more like a master who had been refining tools for many years. After three hours, Pan Chengfeng took the smelted dragon scale block and smiled to Master Feng and said, "Uncle Master, take a look, the quality is okay, it didn't work well this time, if I do it twice more, I am confident that I can make it more perfect~"
Master Feng held the smelted dragon scale iron and asked in confusion: "Is this your first time smelting this material? Don't lie to me!" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's my first time. I used to practice with some low-grade materials. This is my first time with such high-grade materials." Pan Chengfeng had obtained a lot of ores from killing people and stealing corpses before, and he used almost all of them to practice. Although he had no systematic learning, Pan Chengfeng was not unfamiliar with smelting ores.
Master Feng walked around Pan Chengfeng, looking him up and down several times, which made Pan Chengfeng feel comfortable. Pan Chengfeng couldn't stand it and asked hurriedly, "Uncle Master, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with me?" Feng Tiesheng looked at him for more than ten breaths, and finally sighed. He said nothing and went straight back to the lounge. Pan Chengfeng followed him all the way for some reason.
After returning to the lounge, Master Feng asked sullenly, "You are not yet thirty years old, are you?" Hearing Master Feng finally speak, Pan Chengfeng quickly said, "My disciple is only 28 years old this year. There is no age limit for refining weapons, right?" Master Feng was stunned, then laughed and said, "Yes, there is no age limit. Don't you want to become a disciple and learn refining weapons?" Pan Chengfeng was delighted and said happily, "Yes, my disciple wants to learn refining weapons. I wonder if I can become a disciple of my uncle?"
Feng Tiesheng straightened himself, touched his few and messy beard, and smiled at Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng came to become a disciple, so how could he not know what to do? He quickly stood up and bowed to Feng Tiesheng, saying, "Disciple Pan Chengfeng, hello to the teacher~" Then he took out the gift he had prepared in advance, handed it to Feng Tiesheng, and said with a smile, "It's just a little gift, please don't despise it~"
Feng Tiesheng took the storage bag, looked inside, and said with a smile: "You have been prepared for a long time, how did you know that I would accept you?" Pan Chengfeng said shyly: "Disciple doesn't know either, anyway, it's better to be prepared~" Feng Tiesheng said: "Get up, I will accept you as a nominal disciple first, and wait until you pass the next test of this old man, then I will officially accept you as my disciple." Pan Chengfeng was stunned and asked: "There is another test? Teacher, you are so busy, why don't we take the test together today, I have time~"
Feng Tiesheng said calmly: "Chengfeng, remember, haste makes waste, this is true for doing things, and even more so for refining equipment. Starting from tomorrow, you will come here for an hour every day, and I will teach you personally. After a year, I will formally teach you how to refine equipment. This speed is already very fast." Since Feng Tiesheng said so, Pan Chengfeng could not urge him any more, and he left after saluting. He originally needed to be an apprentice for ten years, but now he doesn't have to be an apprentice. But he is still a student and needs to learn from the teacher for a period of time.
After Pan Chengfeng left, Feng Tiesheng took out a few more pots of wine from his storage bag and said enviously, "I have studied smelting for thirty years, but this kid can extract dragon scale iron with such high purity just by reading a few inferior refining books. Am I too stupid, or is this kid too evil? Is talent really more important than hard work?" The reason why Feng Tiesheng was in a bad mood recently was because of this retreat to refine equipment, and he had to smelt dragon scale ore. He had smelted two of the three pieces of dragon scale ore, and the purity was not as good as he expected. He was not in the mood to continue smelting the third piece.
Over the years, he thought he had improved his weapon-refining skills, but he was upset by the dragon scale iron and came out of retreat early. He wanted to adjust himself before continuing, but then he encountered Pan Chengfeng coming to "send wine". The wine was fake, but Feng Tie was really a disciple. Feng Tie had lived for thousands of years, how could he not see it? He had a good impression of Pan Chengfeng, and planned to train him for a few years before officially accepting him as his disciple.
As a result, Pan Chengfeng felt that the apprenticeship time was too long and wanted to start refining equipment as soon as possible. Pan Chengfeng looked down on refining equipment, which made Feng Tiesheng dissatisfied, so he came up with the idea of smelting dragon scale ore. He originally wanted to dampen the boy's enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that he would be hit hard. A novice could do better than him, a master with thousands of years of experience! This really made Feng Tiesheng unable to accept it for a while.
Jingxin Valley, a series of loud noises crossed the sky. Now, no one in Jingxin Valley needed to come out to see it, because they all knew that the evil star had returned. Pan Chengfeng was not in a good mood either. Although he had successfully become a disciple, he still needed another year to learn how to refine weapons. He didn't have that much time to waste on refining weapons. If he still couldn't learn how to refine weapons after a year, Pan Chengfeng didn't know whether he should continue to learn.
Pan Chengfeng sighed and muttered, "Oh, there's nothing I can do. One year is enough. I just need to learn the first move of the 'Demon Suppression Fist'. It only takes a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, so it won't waste much time." Pan Chengfeng didn't go back to his cave, but went straight to Shuang'er. The sound of the thunder escape was so loud that Shuang'er knew Pan Chengfeng had returned. Pan Chengfeng had already landed in Shuang'er's cave, and then a series of explosions came one after another, which shows how fast the thunder escape is.
Shuang'er bowed and said, "Congratulations, Master, you have succeeded in becoming my disciple~" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile, "Little girl, how do you know that you will succeed? Don't you know that all those masters have strange tempers?" Shuang'er said with a smile, "There is no master that you cannot handle. Master has such a strange temper, but you have mastered him well, haven't you?"
Pan Chengfeng said proudly, "It can be considered a success. We can worship Feng Tiesheng as our teacher. It is not just as simple as learning to refine weapons. More importantly, we have a new backer, and in the future... Let's not talk about it. Shuang'er has been preparing lunch for the whole afternoon, and the young master hasn't even had breakfast yet~" Shuang'er happily went to prepare food, while Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "This is the cave of the direct disciple. How come the divine consciousness has detected here? Whose divine consciousness is it?"
This consciousness was not the consciousness of Elder Yan, whom Pan Chengfeng was familiar with. This made Pan Chengfeng a little embarrassed. His "secret" had already been known by Elder Yan, and now it was replaced by an unknown fusion master. Could he still practice in his cave with peace of mind? After Pan Chengfeng was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, he could accurately capture the consciousness of the fusion masters. Before, when he was building the foundation, he could only vaguely feel it, very vaguely. However, the fusion masters were also strong and weak. Pan Chengfeng could not sense the consciousness of Qiu Xiaotian and Shangguan Yun.
Pan Chengfeng touched his chin and decided to communicate with Shangguan Yun. He couldn't practice here anymore, he had to go out. The trouble was that he had to run back and forth every day. However, in order to prevent others from knowing his true identity, it would be better not to expose the "Demon Suppression Fist" easily. After all, the "Overlord Fist" had been temporarily shelved, and Pan Chengfeng didn't plan to use it again unless his life was at stake.
