The elderly weapon refiner in the center of the square looked around with his muddy eyes, as if he was looking for his apprentice among the crowd.
Although most of the weapon refiners around were waving at him, trying to attract his attention, he ignored them one by one.
Over time, the weapon refiners who could not even get it at a glance turned around and left dejectedly.
After a while, the square, which was very crowded just now, became very empty.
The old man who saw the weapon refiners leave couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then began to forge a piece of equipment he had already forged when he first arrived at Tianhuo City.
With the sound of hammering, it echoed over the square for half an hour.
The instrument in the old man's hand was finally formed.
It's a sword.
A long sword that looks ordinary but actually hides many mysteries and uses extremely luxurious materials.
The seemingly ordinary appearance is actually outlined with hundreds of beautiful patterns. Under the interweaving of patterns, lifelike dragon patterns are even formed, and finally a blood-red star embedded on it is surrounded by the hilt of the sword.
Orb.
The blood-red orb will be mistaken for an ordinary jewel at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that this orb contains extremely powerful fire spirit power.
Not to mention that most of the materials used to create the entire sword are top treasures that can only be seen in auction houses.
It was precisely because he saw the special sword in the old man's hand that Cao Chuan speculated that the old man in the center of the square might not be just a sixth-grade weapon refiner, but probably a top player who has reached the seventh-grade or even the eighth-grade.
Artifact Refiner.
This also puzzled him.
If the old man is really a top weapon refiner who can have seventh or even eighth grades, then why did he come to a border town like Tianhuo City?
You should know that the most powerful weapon refiner in Tianhuo City is only a fourth-grade, and he is also an old man of about the same age as him.
Even if he really passed by here to find his disciple, Cao Chuan didn't think the other party could find someone here with the talent for refining weapons that satisfies him.
unless···
Sudden.
Cao Chuan thought of the so-called, extremely mysterious destiny.
Along the way, he had heard of destiny countless times, and each time it was related to himself.
Thinking of his current location, Cao Chuan whispered: "No, right? Could it be that this old senior is really here for me?"
"Or, he came for Jinghao?"
Thinking of this, Cao Chuan unconsciously looked up at the elderly weapon refiner who was turning his gaze at this moment.
When Cao Chuan found that the other party had actually met his eyes, he felt a sudden slap in his heart and then he thought something was wrong.
really.
The next second I saw the old weapon refiner suddenly lit his eyes, and his body, which looked like a dead tree, walked to him with extremely fast steps, and even came out with those pairs.
Two bright eyes kept looking at him and the two swords that were still held by him.
"Well... The refining techniques used in these two swords are all introductory techniques used by beginners."
"But looking at the appearance of these two swords, you will know that this beginner's basic skills are extremely solid, and his control over his own spiritual power has reached a level of perfection, and he also needs to have the concentration far beyond ordinary weapon refiners.
”
After saying a lot of words, the old man raised his head and looked at Cao Chuan, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckling, "These two swords were actually forged by you, my friend? And it seems that they were just forged.
There is not much time to come out."
"My friend, I wonder how long has it been since you started refining weapons?"
Before Cao Chuan could speak, the old man rushed to say something.
This sentence made Cao Chuan sweat in an instant.
It turned out that the seemingly amiable old man actually said in a threatening tone: "My friend, please tell the truth, old man, my eyes can even break the way of heaven and earth..."
Although it was impossible to be sure whether the old man said in front of him was true or false, Cao Chuan was unwilling to take risks.
After all, he knew that the old senior in front of him was probably a seventh or even eighth grade weapon refiner. Such a weapon refiner looked at the entire spiritual world with a transcendent existence, and there must be many major forces behind him as their backers.
You must never offend easily.
So Cao Chuan had nodded obediently and replied, "The old senior has indeed a sharp eye. These two swords were just forged by the younger generation a few hours ago, and the younger generation is indeed what the older generation said.
That beginner.”
"oh?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Chuan would be so obedient. The old man immediately became interested and continued to ask: "Since you said you are a beginner, can you tell the old man how long have you practiced to refine your weapon? Is it a month or a year
? Or ten years or a hundred years?”
As he was talking, the old man had already come to Cao Chuan, and the distance between the two was not even enough to be a fist.
Looking at the face of the old man in front of him, Cao Chuan had no choice but to admit that he had just started refining weapons today, and those two swords were also the result of his first refining weapons.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Old man Tianji really won't bully me!"
Suddenly, the old man burst into laughter, and after a while he finally calmed down, he stared at Cao Chuan with an extremely serious expression, and said, "Old man Tianji found me before and said that I would meet him when I was passing by Tianhuo City.
A disciple with great talent for refining weapons can even inherit the old man’s mantle and become one of the most powerful refiners in the world.”
"But the old man Tianji has never been willing to tell me who that person is, and only said that all this is the arrangement of destiny. If I refuse to accept the arrangement of destiny, I will die in two years because my life is over.
”
"Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that the old man Tianji and I were friends for thousands of years, how could I take what he said seriously? What's more, there was something about my life and death."
"Because I have already put my life and death aside, even if I really die in two years, I have no complaints about the old man."
"The only reluctance is my legacy."
Suddenly my face turned again, and I began to look at Cao Chuan's helpless eyes with a miserable expression, and sighed: "I think I am immersed in my weapon for thousands of years, and if I die, I can only hold my own.
If you return to the world with your inheritance, what's the point of refining weapons that I have been immersed in for thousands of years?"
"Little guy, do you think what I said makes sense?"
"Yes, yes, what you said is really reasonable..."
Since knowing that what happened today was the arrangement of destiny, Cao Chuan has become indifferent.
Since you can't resist, it's better to let it go.
Anyway, the old man in front of him would not harm him.
Cao Chuan so quietly waited for the old man to finish his sentence.
The old man was not vague and said bluntly: "I almost forgot to tell you, old man, I am the third elder of the inner sect of the Wrought Iron Mountain, which is the eighth-grade weapon refiner with the highest grade in the Wrought Iron Mountain, named "Li Fengwu".
You look very young and a beginner, and I believe you have never heard of my name Li Fengwu.”
"But it doesn't matter."
"As long as you are willing to worship me, Li Fengwu as your teacher, you will be my only disciple of Li Fengwu in the future. You will be able to enjoy the treatment you deserve in the Forge of Iron Mountain."
"How is it? Little guy, would you like to worship me as your teacher?"
After saying that, he blinked playfully.
It almost made Cao Chuan open his mouth and vomit all over the floor.
But Cao Chuan soon came to his senses and said to Li Fengwu in front of him: "You are polite, senior, but I am a disciple of Leng Yue Palace. If you become a disciple and go to the Forgetting Iron Mountain to practice, I am afraid it will be difficult for Leng to do so.
There is a confession in the Moon Palace.”
Although Cao Chuan only worshipped Wu Su as his master when he was in the lower realm, his status in Lengyue Palace was not even a disciple, it did not prevent him from worrying about Li Fengwu's decision.
After all, even he was not sure that he could control Yu Qinglan's temper.
If he became a disciple of Li Fengwu, and then followed Li Fengwu to practice with Wutie Mountain, judging by Yu Qinglan's usual performance, Cao Chuan could even think about how cruel means Yu Qinglan would use to deal with Wutie Mountain.
The tragic situation of Tianlan Holy Land and the Wen family is still vivid in their goal.
But what Cao Chuan didn't expect was.
After hearing what he said, Li Fengwu suddenly said, "Little guy, you are not honest. Do you think that old man, I am Alzheimer's disease? Don't know that you are actually the husband of Yu Qinglan, the lord of the Lengyue Palace? Don't pretend anymore
Now, the things about you and Yu Qinglan spread early!”
"Ah? Is that?"
Since I know everything, I won’t pretend, I’ll show off.
Seeing that the other party had already known his identity and his relationship with Yu Qinglan, Cao Chuan was not panicked. The old god said: "Since the old senior knows the identity of the junior senior, please leave by yourself, after all
The old senior doesn’t want to wrought iron mountain any accidents happen because of your strength, right?”
After saying that, Cao Chuan was about to turn around and leave.
But the next second, Li Fengwu reached out and blocked his way.
Li Fengwu's face was full of smiles.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smile, Cao Chuan could only sigh helplessly: "Senior, if you have anything else, would it be better to say it all at once? If you are really fine, then I
I have to go back and have a good rest and prepare to go to bed.”
"Ah! Wait!"
Cao Chuan was about to leave.
Li Fengwu also knew that if he pretended, he would probably never see Cao Chuan again, so he could only say angrily: "Don't rush to leave, old man, I just want to tell me if you are willing to worship me.
As Li Fengwu is his teacher, you not only don’t have to go back to Wutie Mountain with you, but you don’t even have to go to Wutie Mountain to register your identity and name.”
"You can have the greatest freedom, and your only requirement is to call me Li Fengwu and call me Master."
"How is it? Such conditions should be considered very relaxed, right? And it is enough to relieve that girl Yu Qinglan, right?"
"Since that's the case... can I not call you master?"
"Ah? Why?" Li Fengwu pointed at himself and asked Cao Chuan why he refused to call him his master.
Cao Chuan also held his forehead helplessly and sighed: "Senior, you are so sloppy that you are so ungrateful, and you look unreliable at first glance, why do you ask me to call you master? If it really doesn't work, I will call you senior.
It's the bottom line that I can accept."
After saying that, Cao Chuan got up and took Wen Jinghao and others to go back to the inn.
In fact, he did not have any objections to Li Fengwu, and he even respected Li Fengwu quite well. After all, Li Fengwu is the only eighth-grade weapon refiner in the Forge of Iron Mountain. His status is the highest in the entire spiritual world.
Even if her daughter-in-law Yu Qinglan comes, she will call him politely "Senior" and then think about other things.
But Cao Chuan is different from others. He knows very clearly that Li Fengwu came for destiny.
But Cao Chuan happens to be the one who hates being constrained by others and rules the most, and he even hates the so-called destiny.
Because destiny is like a shackle, binding him to do everything that has been arranged long ago.
This made him always feel that he was a puppet, a puppet controlled by destiny.
At the same time, he was also very curious, curious about how much control the so-called destiny can achieve, and wanted to know how destiny would treat him once he did not follow the rules of destiny.
But soon.
Cao Chuan knew what Tianming would do after he rejected Tianming's arrangement.
I heard Li Fengwu, who was following Cao Chuan, suddenly smiled and said, "If you don't call him a master, you won't call him a master. Anyway, I will be able to accept you as a disciple. After all, there are very few disciples like you who have such talent for refining weapons.
If you miss it, it will be harder to find it."
"Compared to you, what is the master worth?"
"Not to mention that old man Tianji also told me that you, a little guy, may not be able to do things according to fate, so he warned me and asked me to follow your wishes."
"How is it? I said so. You should admit that I am your master, right?"
After saying that, Li Fengwu looked at Cao Chuan with a eccentric look.
Cao Chuan, who was staring at this look, had no choice but to agree to it in order to get rid of this strange-tempered senior, said, "Okay, okay! I promise to be your master! Don't rely on me anymore.
So close!"
"good!"
Hearing that Cao Chuan finally agreed to become his apprentice, Li Fengwu no longer insisted on being like before, but took out several yellowed and worn books from his arms, and said after throwing them to Cao Chuan.
: "I will follow you in the dark recently, and you must seize the time to study the method of refining weapons during this period. When I arrive at the next town, I will evaluate you."
"If your weapon refining method has not improved at all, the relationship between you and me will end here."
"Of course, if you can successfully become a first-grade or even higher-grade weapon refiner, then I will go to the Artifact Refiner Guild in person to help you bring the certificate representing the identity of the Artifact Refiner, and will also teach you more advanced refining
