"Mu Fei, I'm a lecturer at the Academy of Instruments, what do you want to build, but do you have a drawing to show me first?" Shi Ning seemed to have completely forgotten her dissatisfaction with Mu Fei at the freshman teaching ceremony yesterday, but instead showed great enthusiasm.

"Drawings?" Mu Fei was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Master Wuluo.

Uro immediately said, "I didn't have the drawings with me, but I have samples." As he spoke, Uro's palm moved, and a cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger only an inch long appeared in his palm.

Uro handed the miniature dagger to Shi Ning, and then quickly took out two items. A two-inch-long iron nail, black throughout, and an impossibly thin golden needle with barbs on it.

Lecturer Shi Ning's eyes changed slightly the moment he saw these three items. As a lecturer at the Academy of Instruments, she naturally has a knowledgeable theoretical knowledge of materials and forging and refining tools. So she immediately saw how extraordinary these three little things were.

Not to mention the structure, the materials used to create these three items alone already made her heart tremble.

"These are all secret weapons, are you from Mozhou Wumen?" Shi Ning looked at Wu Luo, and his expression gradually became serious.

Before Wu Luo could answer, Mu Fei immediately said, "Lecturer Shi Ning, this is my master, and he is indeed from Wumen. ”

"What? He is your master? Aren't you holding the ancient holy order given to you by the master of the Su Academy? How could you worship someone from another sect as a teacher?" Shi Ning's serious expression gradually turned into anger. Doesn't this kid know how precious the Ancient Holy Order really is and what it really means?

Uro smiled wryly and sighed inwardly.

Mu Fei looked calm, and said lightly: "Lecturer Shi Ning, it seems that the Five Elements Academy does not stipulate that the disciples in the academy cannot worship people from other sects as teachers, right?"

Shi Ning was slightly suffocated, but soon said quite angrily: "It is true that it has not been stipulated. But Mu Fei, if you are just an ordinary disciple of the outer court, it is your freedom to worship whoever you are a teacher. But you have an ancient holy order. Since the establishment of my Five Elements Academy, all disciples who hold the ancient holy order will be the inheritance disciples of the academy master. There are only eight disciples of this status, do you know what that means?"

When Mu Fei heard this, he was deeply touched.

These days, he had almost guessed that the master of the Dan Academy should be Su Cheng. It's just that at that time, Su Cheng intended to accept him as a registered disciple, but he had clearly refused. Then Su Cheng heard that he was going to enter the Five Elements Courtyard, so he gave him the Ancient Saint Token.

He really didn't expect Su Cheng to give him such an important thing, and Su Cheng would actually be the master of the Dan Academy! Thinking about it, he was indeed very grateful to Su Cheng.

At this moment, listening to Shi Ning's words, it seemed that this ancient holy order was much more precious than he imagined?

However, he did not regret worshipping Ouro as a teacher. Thinking of this, Mu Fei also made an extremely bold decision in his heart. Taking a deep breath, Mu Fei calmed himself down, and then he said, "Lecturer Shi Ning, the matter of the Ancient Holy Order will be decided when the courtyard master returns." Even if she finally retracts this ancient holy order, I have no complaints. Now you look at my master's three hidden weapons, can the instrument courtyard be built?"

Seeing that Mu Fei had talked about this, Shi Ning had no choice but to give up, so he refocused his attention on the three small things in his hand.

She looked at it carefully again for a while, and then said, "If your master is by your side, it will be absolutely no problem to build. It's just that the price of these hidden weapon materials is really expensive. In particular, the material of this gold needle is the most expensive. If I'm not mistaken, the material of this gold needle should be a metallic meteorite plate, and the number of gold needles must be extremely large. ”

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the lecturer of the Five Elements Academy, and he is indeed knowledgeable. Wu Luo listened to Shi Ning's words, and he was also impressed.

Hearing Wu Luo's words, Shi Ning showed a hint of pride on his face, and then asked, "In addition to the meteorite plate crystal required for the golden needle, how many bone nails and daggers do you want to build?"

Uro stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "A thousand bone nails and ten daggers are enough." The number of gold needles depends on the size of the meteorite plate. ”

Shi Ning calculated it in his heart, and he already had an approximate price. However, Mu Fei was quite disrespectful to her yesterday, so the price naturally had to be doubled.

"The material of the bone nail is Qingying Iron, the material of the dagger is Shen Wu Iron, plus a meteorite plate crystal, a total of 60,000 low-grade Yuan Stones, or 600 medium-grade Yuan Stones. Shi Ning said lightly.

"So expensive?" Mu Fei immediately frowned.

Wu Luo also couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, "Lecturer Shi, you're at least twice as expensive." The green iron required for a thousand bone nails is worth fifty medium-grade yuan stones, and the Shen Wu iron required for ten daggers is only twenty medium-grade yuan stones. And the meteorite plate crystal, the size of a palm is enough, and it should not exceed two hundred medium-grade yuan stones. It doesn't add up to more than 30,000 lower-grade Yuan Stones, but you want 60,000?"

Shi Ning was shocked, and almost forgot that in terms of the attainment of the secret weapon, whether it was the creation or the material, Wumen was the top and most authoritative existence. However, she also has her own reasons, that is, this is not Mozhou Wumen, but Zhongzhou, the imperial capital, and the Five Elements Academy.

Therefore, Shi Ning showed a signature seductive smile and said, "This is the price in my Five Elements Academy. If you can't afford it, our institute will definitely not help you build it. ”

Mu Fei had already sensed that this Shi Ning should have a prejudice against him at this moment, so he deliberately made things difficult.

"Master, let's go into the Academy. I don't believe that all the people in the Instrument Academy are black merchants. Mu Fei said, and immediately prepared to pull the master into the courtyard. He was sure that he would be able to find someone at a fair price to help him build these secret weapons.

Shi Ning snorted, quickly took out a piece of paper to transmit the Dao pattern, injected the vitality into it, and said to the shining Dao pattern: "All the disciples of the Instrument Academy listen to the order, without my approval, no one is allowed to help Mu Fei's master and apprentice create anything." ”

As soon as her voice fell, the communication pattern vanished. Then Shi Ning stared at Mu Fei proudly, and his bewitching eyes seemed to say, boy, it's not okay for you to offend me.

Wu Luo was about to say something, but Mu Fei suddenly spoke up as if he was a different person: "Lecturer Shi Ning, it was true that I was distracted yesterday and didn't hear your name, and I didn't mean to. You have a lot of them, so don't worry about one of my disciples. In this way, I am willing to pay 31,000 low-grade Yuan Stones, and you can let someone build it for me, how about it?"

Mu Fei's expression was earnest, and this sudden softening stunned Shi Ning all of a sudden. Wu Luo knew a lot about Mu Fei, so he was not surprised by the strange smile on his face.

In the final analysis, Shi Ning actually didn't have much prejudice against Mu Fei, and her strength was not as small as Mu Fei imagined. She just knew that this kid defeated Han Wuji yesterday and won 10,000 lower grade Yuan Stones, so she deliberately wanted Mu Fei to have a little more blood, so as to punish Mu Fei for his disrespect for her, that's all.

"Thirty-five thousand dollars, no two prices. Shi Ning deliberately kept a straight face. She was afraid that if Mu Fei bargained again, she was not good at it, and she might really agree with a soft heart.

"Okay, deal. Mu Fei simply did not continue to bargain.

With Mu Fei's heart and current embarrassment, he can actually continue to negotiate the price. However, Mu Fei also has his own little abacus. He realized that there were many places where he might need help from the Academy in the future, and it was more important to make a good impression on Lecturer Shi Ning.

Therefore, it is worth it to be overcharged for a few thousand yuan stones. Although these thousands of yuan stones were still a lot of expenses for Mu Fei at this moment.

Sure enough, after Shi Ning was stunned for a moment, his impression of Mu Fei changed greatly. Now that he has set the price, there is naturally no reason to regret it. So he took Mu Fei and the apprentice and quickly entered the courtyard.

The main peak where the instrument courtyard is located is located in the south of the Five Elements Courtyard, adjacent to the main peak of the Fire Courtyard, and the total area is relatively small among the seven main peaks, and it is the shortest of the seven main peaks, but the horizontal area is larger, which is related to the need to build, smelt and forge the instrument courtyard.

The sound of striking iron and forging could be heard everywhere, and the whole courtyard was quite scorching.

Except for a wide square that is empty and tidy, there are forging points like small blacksmith shops almost everywhere in the courtyard. Whether on the flat ground, on the hillside, or even on the rock wall, the thick and heavy forging hammer was picked up by the muscular sturdy teenagers or young men, and the rhythmic slamming heavy slam on the red-hot iron, and the sparks splashed.

When Mu Fei saw such a scene, he immediately remembered a person, and couldn't help but quickly look at Master Wuluo.

And Uro also happened to look at Mu Fei. From the master's eyes, Mu Fei knew that the master should also think of this person, so he smiled, and then Mu Fei looked at Lecturer Shi Ning and asked, "Lecturer Shi Ning, if a person has exceeded the age requirement for admission assessment, is there any other way to enter the Academy?"

When Shi Ning heard this, he immediately said, "Of course there is." Dan Yuan and Qi Yuan are very different from other courtyards. If you look at our instrument institute, you can say that each forging point requires the division of labor and cooperation of several people. Not every official disciple is willing to go shirtless every day and wield this sledgehammer. Before they could become 'alchemists', they had to devote a lot of energy to learning about forging methods, materials, and fireability. Therefore, for the work of forging hammers or pulling bellows, you can recruit 'machine workers' to be in charge of the instrument yard. ”

Mu Fei was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately asked again, "Then how can you become this kind of craftsman?"

"It's very simple, just pass the test of strength. Shi Ning didn't care.

Although the craftsman also has the opportunity to learn the precious art of forging, he usually needs to do a lot of dirty work, and only a very small number of craftsmen with excellent understanding can learn the real art of forging. Most of them will eventually become craftsmen who specialize in a skill under the Alchemist.

Mu Fei kept this incident firmly in his heart. Subsequently, the master and apprentice were soon introduced by Shi Ning to a forging point in a separate courtyard.
