"By the way, why did you think of accepting disciples again this time? Aren't you very strict in accepting disciples? And sent them to me and asked me to help you train them. Shi Zhishan looked at Li Hua suspiciously and said,

"What's the matter, the disciple I personally accepted is naturally a genius of Tianzhong, and I took a fancy to you when I put it here for you to teach, thinking that you have the qualifications to teach, are you still not happy?" Li Hua leisurely picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, took a sip gently, and said uncontrollably,

When Shi Zhishan heard this, he said with a look of disbelief, "Since your disciple is such a genius, you just let me teach it well, why torture me so much?

When Li Hua heard this, he blew his beard and glared at him on the spot, and said confidently, "What do you mean by not having any good intentions, don't you know that jade can't be cut into a weapon?

Shi Zhishan waved his hand and begged for mercy, "Second Li Li, you have a strong mouth, you can't talk about you, but I want to see if your disciple is as talented as you say, and don't be taught by you to be a second Li Er!"

"Hmph! Don't talk to Zhuzi!" Li Hua waved his sleeves, sat on the side and said nothing, just quietly watched every move on the second floor of the Shizhi Mountain Pavilion.

Shi Zhishan turned his head to take a look, and also sat quietly on the chair and quietly looked at his cheap student.

On the second floor, Zhang Yan silently studied the knowledge in the jade slip in his mind, and with a "snap", the illusory book in his mind was re-closed, turning into a ball of words and integrating into his mind, and everything in the book was memorized.

Then the spiritual power probed into the basket beside him, took out a piece of Xunmu's nest ore, and placed it in front of him, but Zhang Yan found that the ore in the basket that originally belonged to the second layer of the mine had been replaced with the first layer of ore of equal value, exactly 100,000 pieces.

"It's really not bad at all!" Thinking of this, Zhang Yan shook his head and threw out the distracting thoughts in his mind, focusing all his attention on the ore in front of him.

If, as just said in the jade slip, smelting a piece of Xunmu's nest ore can obtain at least one percent of Xunmu metal, and at most three and a half percent of Xunmu metal, if even one percent of Xunmu metal cannot be smelted out of a piece of ore, it means that the smelting of this piece of ore has completely failed.

The piece of cyan metal full of holes in Zhang Yan's hand was carefully observed, and he thought,

"It seems that this first smelting was a complete failure! But all the steps in my smelting are carried out in accordance with the steps in the jade slip, and with my mental power control, I can also imitate seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, etc., it stands to reason that it shouldn't be such a complete failure!"

Zhang Yan shook his head and took out another piece of ore, and at the same time, his spiritual power turned into a sword, cutting off this distracting thought, and throwing the ore into the smelting furnace again.

In the Void Realm, Shi Zhishan saw this scene and said with a smile, "Second Li, your apprentice looks like the raw melon skin of the refining weapon, this action, the effect of this spiritual power...... When he came to you, didn't you teach him about it at all, hahaha......"

Li Hua's face froze instantly, and he said curtly, "Our door is a self-taught talent, if not, how can we highlight the demons in our sect! Hmph, hillbillies who don't understand anything!"

Shi Zhishan saw it, poked the other party's sore foot, and no longer took advantage of the victory to pursue, but just catered to it, "Yes, yes, you are the second, you are right! Look, look, the metal of your apprentice's second furnace is about to be baked." ”

In front of the smelting furnace, Zhang Yan carefully used his mental power to control the intensity of the flames in the furnace, and with his other hand, he carefully took out the smelted metal with a clamp.

Soon, the metal has been cooled, this time the smelting of the furnace metal fineness is a few points better, at least the potholes on the metal, the bubbles are much less, and the amount has reached nine points of Xunmu metal, only one point away from success.

"Slap" Then Zhang Yan threw aside the piece of metal that had failed again in his hand, took out a piece of ore again and added it to the smelting furnace for smelting and purification.

In this way, after night fell, Zhang Yan also piled up more than a dozen pieces of metal after smelting failure, and now he was carefully controlling the flame in the furnace, for fear that one would accidentally give up his efforts, after all, after such a long time of smelting, his mental and physical strength were also on the verge of exhaustion.

In the smelting furnace, a ball of cyan ore had already turned into a mass of liquid, and the flames in the furnace turned into several tongues of fire under the manipulation of Zhang Yan's spiritual power, attacking the impurities in the liquid, and turning them into white ashes after collisions again and again.

As little by little the white ash falls on the bottom of the furnace, the color of the cyan metal liquid suspended in the melting furnace becomes darker and darker, and gradually turns into a droplet-shaped liquid, with a stream of light flowing on it.

"Huh" did this step, Zhang Yan dared to exhale a heavy breath in his mouth, slowly controlled the flame in the furnace to extinguish, wrapped the dream power in his right hand, pinched out the droplet-shaped metal through the flame, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Finding that this smelting, the purified Xunmu metal has reached the standard of success, that is, Yicheng Xunmu metal, Zhang Yan's heart couldn't help but relax, and suddenly a feeling of dizziness surged in his mind, and his body shook a few times involuntarily, and then his left hand stabilized his body, and his heart said,

"It seems that this is the only way to go today!" Then he withdrew the metal in his palm into the spatial ring, extinguished the flames in the smelting furnace, and curled up casually on the futon, falling into a deep sleep.

And Shi Zhishan and Li Hua in the Void Realm couldn't help but nod when they saw this scene, glanced at each other, and said, "It's okay, this student didn't take it in vain!"

"That's right, this kid didn't lose my people!" The words of the two of them are the greatest appreciation and recognition of Zhang Yan, who is now sleeping on the ground.

......A ray of sunlight shone on Zhang Yan's face through the gap between the windows on the second floor, waking him up in his sleep, and after waking up, he stretched his waist and couldn't help shouting comfortably.

After Zhang Yan woke up, his mind sank into the dream realm, and he was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that the spiritual sea in the dream realm had returned to its normal state at this time, not a drop less, not a drop more. And the overall color of the Sea of Spirits is also a little deeper than before.

On the side, Xiao Huang controlled the metal piece, swayed and floated in front of Zhang Yan, and said, "Xiao Yanzi, it seems that your new teacher has given you a lot of good things, if you polish this spiritual sea by yourself, if you want to achieve such a change, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it in less than a month! Yes, yes, in this way, you will soon be able to complete the agreement with that person." ”

"Eh, what?!" Zhang Yan turned to look at Xiao Huang and asked suspiciously, but when he turned around, Xiao Huang had already resunk into the metal sheet and disappeared, so he didn't ask anything,

Then Zhang Yan withdrew from the dream realm, and used his mental power to perceive it all over his body, and found that not only his mental power had returned to normal, but even his dream power and physical strength had returned to normal, and everything consumed yesterday seemed to have never happened.

Sensing all this, he couldn't help but look down at the shabby futon under his legs, which had been curled up since yesterday

When he fell asleep on the futon, he vaguely felt a trace of coolness seeping into his body from the futon, but at that time he was already sleepy, but he thought that the futon was too shabby and a little unwarm, and his mind did not think about other aspects.

"It seems that this shabby futon is also a great treasure, with it, my smelting of 100,000 pieces of xunmu metal can be completed a little faster. Zhang Yan thought as he touched the futon with his hand.

"Yes, Shi Datou, you are willing to take out all that thing, why are you so face-saving this time!" Li Hua saw Zhang Yan stroking the futon under his buttocks in the Void Realm, and then a mouthful of tea squirted out of his mouth, and asked the person next to him with an unbelievable expression,

Shi Zhishan chuckled lightly and said, "Why, you are allowed to go out of the mountain to accept a disciple of your own lineage, and I am not allowed to find a student to inherit the mantle." ”

Li Hua's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted, "Shi Datou, you mean to snatch love with a sword! Why, seeing that I have accepted a good apprentice, your eyes are red!"

Shi Zhishan stretched out his hand and pushed away the fingers that Li Hua pointed to his face, and said lightly, "What, aren't you happy?" And I've been in this endless mine long enough, and I've stayed enough, just to find someone to inherit the mantle, and then I'll leave here and walk around, to see what the human race has become by your group of people over the years." ”

Hearing this, Li Hua's outstretched hand was put down heavily, and he couldn't bear to say, "You have really decided, don't wait for a while, maybe there is a chance to turn around!"

Shi Zhishan drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp, and said, "Li Lao Er, you just carry too much on your body, I am different from you, I have no worries on my body, and I have waited for this day, I have waited too long, and I don't want to wait any longer." ”

"In that case, then I wish you all the best, and when you come back, I'll invite you to tea!" Li Hua got up, clasped his hands into fists, bowed lightly, and said,

Shi Zhishan slapped Li Hua's hands away, and said with a smile, "What are you doing, I'm not leaving today, it's like life and death, I just want to leave, and I want to finish teaching my last student before leaving." ”

After Li Hua heard this, he smiled and said, "It's me who is sentimental, it's me who is sentimental!" Although the tone returned to normal, the wisp of sorrow condensed between the two could not be dissipated.

However, Zhang Yan on the pavilion had greatly improved the speed of smelting ore at this time, and even the success rate had been greatly improved, and now it had reached a success rate of fifty percent.

And so it was, the second day, the third day...... Until the tenth day, Zhang Yan looked at a piece of Xunmu metal in the smelting furnace that was about to be purified, and the movements in his hands were even more mechanical.
