The long sword was knocked away, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his face, he saw the young man coming.

"Ants are still stealing life, why do you want to find a short sight?"

Open the opening of the overhang.

When he came to him, he also saw clearly that the strength of the middle-aged man had reached the early stage of the Nine Folds of Mortal Transformation, and he was definitely a master in Huoyuan City.

"I have to worry about my predecessors, I just want to die......"

Knowing that the distance is so far, he can flick his long sword with one finger, and his strength must be much higher than him, the middle-aged man did not despise the other party because of his youth, and bowed to the end, his eyes were full of loneliness.

"Cultivating to the realm of yours at the age of thirty or so, it's a good genius, isn't it, why is it so desperate?

Zhang Hang is strange.

Even if Huoyuan City is rich in resources, it can reach this level in its thirties, and its talent is not low.

If you have strength and talent, why can't you do it? I just can't think of looking for a short-term view?

"I'm tired of my seniors, I really don't have the motivation to live......"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Fire Source City, the earth fire is strong, and the most famous profession is a refiner. I started studying at the age of seven, and I was an apprentice at the Sun Jin Refining Instrument Grand Master for twenty-four years, and I thought I could be accepted into the door, but who knows...... I have failed the assessment for ten years in a row! With such poor talent, so stupid, what's the point of living? It's so ashamed of my family and my profession that I might as well die......

"Twenty-four years of apprenticeship?" Zhang Hang was stunned: "Are you ...... now?" Not even a one-star refiner?"

A Ninefold Cultivator, according to his level, is at least a five-star peak refiner, and he is only an apprentice...... Really?

Is there such a stupid person in the world?

"Well, every time I refine the weapon, I can't control the temperature of the earth fire, and finally the tire is wasted...... In this assessment, Master Sun Jin couldn't hold back anymore and expelled me from the division, and now I'm not even an apprentice. My family wanted me to become a refiner and make a name for myself, but I was expelled from the world, so what else can I see......"

The more I talked, the more uncomfortable I felt, and the middle-aged people were sad.

Zhang hung his eyes.

Huafan Ninefold Powerhouse, he began to learn refining weapons at the age of seven, but now he has not even succeeded in the assessment of a one-star refiner, even if he has no talent, he will not be without talent Dao to the point of this!

If it's true, it's really hard to take the blow.

"What went wrong, that even a one-star refiner couldn't pass the assessment?"

Zhang Hang is strange.

A one-star refiner, a martial artist with a simple foundation and a thorough realm, can do it, and the one in front of him, who has turned into a mortal ninefold, has also been cultivated, and has fine control, how can it be so simple that it can't be refined?

"I don't know, I just know that every time I take the assessment, I can't refine the weapon successfully. The middle-aged man shook his head, there was no confidence in his eyes, and it seemed that he had lost all confidence after many consecutive assessments.

"Can't refine successfully?" After a pause, Zhang Xuan looked over: "Can you refine a lowest-level weapon and show it to me?"

The dignified ninefold powerhouse, even a one-star refiner can't be assessed, this is something that I couldn't think of before, and it's just a fantasy to say, it's unbelievable.

"Thank you seniors for saving my life, but I have decided to beg for death, even if I continue to refine, it will not help, it is better to let a useless person like me commit suicide, so as not to continue to be ashamed!" the middle-aged man bowed.

"There is time for suicide, and I have also studied the refining weapon in the next place, so I may be able to see the problems you have, so that you can successfully succeed in the assessment. ”

Zhang Xuandao.

If the other party really wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't care about it, but he felt that it was a bit unbelievable that he couldn't even pass the one-star refiner exam.

"This ......" the middle-aged man's face was cloudy.

"You're going to commit suicide anyway, if I can't solve it, it's not too late to kill myself!" Zhang Xuan smiled.

"Okay!" the middle-aged man nodded, his teeth clenched.

That's right, he is a person who wants to commit suicide, and there is nothing left to lose, even if the other party can't see anything, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal.

"There's a quiet room over there that I use for refining weapons, and I have everything, let's go over!"

After saying that, they led the way first, and after a short time, the two came to a small room.

There are all kinds of earth fire, refining furnaces here, and there are a lot of ores on the shelves not far away, many of which are not seen on the market, it seems that although the level of refining is not high, rare metals have been collected a lot.

Looking around, he suddenly landed on an ore, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

"It's ...... Violet gold?"

Violet gold is a very rare ore that melts into a unique artifact to make it even more powerful.

"Using this thing, coupled with the corresponding refining techniques, can completely allow Jin Yuanding to break through his current strength!"

His eyes lit up, and Zhang Xuan was full of excitement.

I had been thinking about helping Jin Yuanding improve his strength, but the ore he needed had not been found, and the matter was put on hold.

Unexpectedly, he casually saved a person who wanted to commit suicide, and found this ore in his ashram.

"I'm here I go!"

Without seeing the change in his expression, the middle-aged man let out a low sigh and came to the refining furnace ding.

The palm of his hand grabbed forward, and the true qi in his body burned violently, and he immediately drew out the earth fire.

The scorching flames roared, reflecting the walls of the ashram red, and with a grasp of the palm of his hand, a huge iron hammer appeared in the palm of his hand, followed by a piece of fine iron, put it in, and after a while, it was scorched and soft.

Jingle Bell!

The blow on it quickly caused the iron block to take shape and turn into a sharp long sword.

I have to say that this middle-aged man's tempering of the instrument tire has reached the point of perfection, and he is much more powerful than him, a six-star peak refiner.

Not long after, the tire was formed, and he grabbed it again, intending to quench it, but at this moment, the earth fire surged violently, and in the blink of an eye, the long sword that had just been tempered was burned into molten iron, and all the previous efforts were ruined.

"If I fail again, I will say that I can't succeed in refining......" His face was full of frustration, and the middle-aged man's eyes showed loss.

I thought I could change the ending this time, but the result was exactly the same as before, without the slightest change.

"This ......" was different from his frustration, and Zhang Xuan frowned when he saw the entire refining process in his eyes.

With his current eyesight, even if he didn't use the Heavenly Dao Library, he could see the crux and problems of the other party's refining weapon.

There is no mistake in the steps and methods of the other party's tempering tire, but in the quenching, the phenomenon of backlash between the true qi and the earth fire in the body has occurred, which leads to the successful refining of the tire, which melts clean in the blink of an eye......

In other words, there is nothing wrong with the quenching step, but the true qi in his body and the attributes of the earth fire are just diametrically opposed, once the quenching is carried out, it will cause the restlessness of the earth fire, so that the previous tire will become waste, resulting in a failure.

"True Qi clashes with earth and fire...... Six-star peak refiners should be able to see it?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

If it's a big flaw, it's okay if you can't see it, the most basic thing in this kind of practice, as long as you reach the peak of the six-star level, it's impossible not to know!

In that case, why didn't the Sun Jin Six-Star Grand Master in the other party's mouth say it?

This middle-aged man couldn't find out, but it was understandable, after all, although his strength had arrived, because even a one-star refiner had not succeeded in the assessment, he was not qualified to read higher-level books.

And this kind of opposing power can only be known when it reaches the six-star peak level.

"No......" pondered in his heart, and suddenly frowned, the true qi conflict refers to the contradiction between the cultivation method and the refining weapon, since this guy has been learning refining since he was seven years old, how can there be such a low-level mistake?

"Unless someone ......did it on purpose," his eyes narrowed immediately.

Quacks harm people, and mediocre teachers mislead people, unless someone deliberately let him practice the wrong exercises in the first place, and then the situation in front of him has emerged.

It's just practicing the wrong exercises...... What's in it for the other party?

Puzzled, his eyes fell on the shelves containing ores around him, and his heart suddenly moved.

"You collected all these ores?"

"Yes!" I don't know why he asked, the middle-aged man nodded: "Fire Source City is full of earth fire, and there is a lot of ore in the dense flames...... With the attraction of true qi in the body, you can find a lot of it every time. ”

"Attracted by True Qi?"

"Yes, our cultivation techniques are all taught by Master Sun Jin, and if we cultivate hard, we will naturally become sensitive to these ores, and it is easy to find a lot of ......."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"There are many people who practice the same exercises as you?" Zhang Xuan looked over.

"There were a lot of apprentices, more than 30 apprentices who studied with them back then, but most of them were engulfed in the fire and burned to ashes while looking for ore. It's just me and the other one left!"

After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged humane.

"Isn't that person also incapable of becoming a true refiner?"

As if he had figured out something, Zhang Hang looked over.

"Yes, he is a year older than me, he also failed to succeed in the assessment, he couldn't bear the pressure last year, and he committed suicide......" The middle-aged man shook his head at the thought of his partner with him.

After studying refining for so many years, but as a result, he couldn't become a real refiner, and the loss in his heart can be imagined, he can hold on for an extra year, which can be regarded as a relatively firm mind.

"Committed suicide?" Zhang hung for a moment, looked around, and continued to ask, "What about ......you?" Where did all the ore go?

Since you have the ability to find ores, you should have found a lot of them after so many years, and you can't just have these in the room.

"I found a lot of ores, but most of them were handed over to Sun Jin Refiner as tuition! I have studied with him since I was a child and taught a lot of knowledge, so that today, the tuition fee will naturally have to be paid. ”

The middle-aged man nodded.

"I see, I see!"

Suddenly realized, Zhang Hang's eyes flashed, and his face was terrifyingly indifferent.
