For the next month, Ye Kui lived in Xia Fan's mansion.

Every morning, as soon as the sun rose, Ye Kui would get up from his bed and then go to the courtyard for his usual morning exercise.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Fan and the two blood servants would also get up at this time, and Ye Yi would prepare breakfast with Ya'er.

Although the Council of Elders asked several times to arrange a few more servants for Xia Fan's mansion, after Xia Fan refused, he could only maintain the status quo.

Xia Fan wasn't used to letting Ya'er serve these things, but it was because his courtyard was quite different, and there were too many things that were inconvenient for those who couldn't absolutely trust to know.

So it can only make Ya'er suffer more.

Fortunately, although there were more people living in the yard, these people didn't need Ya'er to take care of them, so the little girl didn't feel any difference.

It's just that when you prepare meals every day, you need to prepare more.

After the morning exercise, everyone sits around a table, and after breakfast, they will start their morning practice.

Because he had a hunch that things might change, Xia Fan once again devoted himself to penance.

In the morning, he will dedicate a forging, and the purpose of forging is not only to teach Ye Kui, but also to make the Xia family stronger.

After the forging is over, Xia Fan will take a certain amount of time to teach Ye Kui a detailed teaching on forging skills and experience.

In Xia Fan's words, this is not to solve doubts for the teacher to teach and teach, but only to pay Ye Kui a certain amount of remuneration in another way.

As for the reason for the payment, it was naturally due to the fact that when Ye Kui himself was carrying out the cultivation forging, all the refining treasures that he finally completed would be given to the Xia family.

And under the premise that all the things needed for forging should be prepared by Ye Kui himself, Xia Fan would propose to use this method as a reward, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

The two of them have no name as master and apprentice, and in some things, of course, they must be clear, and only in this way can they be truly respected.

It's just that for Ye Kui, he always feels that this kind of exchange is not equal, relatively speaking, he thinks that he has taken a big advantage.

If the relationship between each other was really a master-apprentice, he wouldn't have too many ideas, but Xia Fan insisted that he was unwilling to accept him as an apprentice, so he could only keep it in mind little by little.

As for the high-level Xia family leaders led by Xia Ya, they also think that they have taken a big advantage.

Because the Xia family didn't come out with anything, they kept getting some refining treasures.

Even if the vast majority of these refining treasures are only at the level of the second order of black iron or the third order of black iron, and they are not the best products in this level.

But for the Xia family, these refining treasures are just right for them to use!

In a month's time, just based on the basic value of these refining treasures they obtained, it was almost beyond the entire accumulation of the Xia family for a long time!

What's more, the basic value of such a thing as treasure refining can never truly measure their market price.

It's really rare for both parties to think they're taking advantage of a big deal like this.

However, if you understand this matter from the perspective of both sides, there is nothing wrong with their thinking.

For a small family like the Xia family in Qingyang City to have a black-iron fourth-level forging master to continuously provide them with refining treasures, if this is under normal circumstances, it is definitely a fantasy.

And a forging master like Ye Kui, who is not high in rank or not, but not low in level, can get such a learning opportunity as now, and for any forging master, it is definitely a pie-in-the-sky opportunity.

After the forging in the morning was over, in the afternoon, Xia Fan would practice with the two blood servants, leaving Ye Kui alone to explore and familiarize himself with the things he had learned in the morning through the method of forging and refining treasures.

As for Ye Yi, it was because during this period of time, the realm had really improved too quickly, and there were already some situations where the foundation was not solid, so he was not in a hurry to improve his realm.

When Xia Fan and the three of them were cultivating, Ye would still take Ya'er to learn from the basics and give guidance to Ya'er's cultivation.

After a month, Ye Kui really felt that his harvest was even greater than the harvest in the past few decades combined!

It's not just about the big blood.

Including the forging skills and knowledge that Xia Fan taught him, a considerable part of them were unheard of by Ye Kui!

Compared to Ye Kui's own original understanding of forging, what Xia Fan taught him in this month can be regarded as subversive!

And what excites Ye Kui the most is that through this month's study, his forging level has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has finally broken through his bottleneck in forging!

On the twenty-eighth day of living in Xia Fan's mansion, he successfully performed the Great Blood Hammer Method for the first time, and successfully forged a treasure refining treasure that had reached the fifth order of black iron!

In this way, he has become a real, black iron fifth-level blacksmith!

Of course, if he wanted to continue to improve the level of the forging master, it would be impossible with his current martial cultivation realm.

At least he had to break through to another great realm, and after reaching the level of the Martial King, the improvement of the quality of his Yuan Qi would be able to support him to continue to attack the level of the Black Iron Sixth-Order Forger.

Therefore, when he reached the fifth order of black iron, Ye Kui was already satisfied, and as for the future road, it depended on his own luck.

Not only did Ye Kui gain a lot, but Xia Fan also gained a lot in this month's cultivation.

For a whole month, in addition to teaching Ye Kui, Xia Fan put all his energy into the cultivation of the phoenix immortal body, and under the tempering day and night, the filling of the one hundred and eight death points entered the realm extremely quickly.

It has filled all forty of these dead holes, and with it, has completed the nourishment of four of the twelve canons.

Although all the condensed vitality was used to cultivate the phoenix immortal body, resulting in no change in Xia Fan's own martial arts realm, Xia Fan could still clearly feel that he was much stronger than a month ago!

This kind of power is a kind of thick power!

A large amount of vitality has been accumulated, and although Xia Fan is only a martial artist, because he had reached the level of the supreme martial artist in his previous life, his realm above the martial artist and his perception of heaven and earth are far beyond the boundaries of martial artists.

makes him even if he only has the realm of a sixth-rank martial artist at present, the real combat power that he can exert is far beyond it.

It is understandable that the second generation created such a freak for talents, and that there would be such a peculiar situation.

Fan Li also lived in the Xia family in this month's time, and lived in Xia Fan's mansion, although he did not participate in everyone's penance, but in a month's time, Fan Li saw everything that happened in this mansion clearly.

As a ranger, Fan Li, who has been wandering around the territory of the Daqian Dynasty all the year round, can be regarded as well-informed, but Rao is like this, and he is still shocked by what he has seen and heard in this month.

Almost every day, he would spend all kinds of consternation because everything that happened in this courtyard seemed to be reshaping all his original understanding of cultivation every moment!

This is a group of perverts who can't be looked at with common sense!

After a month, Fan Li came to his own conclusions.

If nothing changes, this retreat will continue.

But after just a month, Xia Fan received a message that made him have to stop.

Someone contacted the Black Hand organization, hoping to hire a Black Hand to be stationed in Qingyang City.

As soon as he got the news, Xia Fan knew about it...... It's time to come, it's here after all!
