"Qi Yue, are you looking down on me?" Qi Ying asked with a sad face.

Qi Yue shook his head and said, "I have never looked down on you, but you have been looking down on me for the past six years. It's just that if you fail the refiner assessment, you will have to die or live, so how long can you endure the humiliation and ridicule I have suffered for so many years?"

"You are a big lady on the top, I am just a down-and-out child, what qualifications do you have to look down on you? You and I have different encounters and fates, and we are destined to never be all the way, and I have nothing to say to you. Qi Yue said.

Qi Ying's face was like ashes when she heard this.

Qi Yue's words sounded tolerant and generous, but every word was heart-wrenching, as cold as ice.

Qi Ying's heart trembled, and before she knew it, Qi Yue had changed into a different person, and the relationship between the two like sisters and brothers when they were young also broke down.

But all of this was caused by her own hands.

Looking at the back of Qi Ying's departure, Qi Yue's heart was unmoved, Qi Ying has become a vain and very powerful woman, the two have been strangers since then, I hope that old age and death will not get along.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Ji on the side showed an approving look in his eyes, and said: "Your name is Qi Yue, right? Now follow me to the second floor of the Refining Hall, engrave the divine pattern, if you are qualified, you can be hired, as for being a disciple or apprentice of this master, or a deputy, it depends on your ability." ”

"Thank you, Master Yuan. Qi Yue said.

Qi Yue followed Yuan Ji to the second floor of the Refining Hall, compared to the first floor and the underground palace, it was quite neat and tidy, and the materials were placed in an orderly manner.

In the center of the main hall, the melting pot that ran from the underground palace to the second floor was steaming hot.

Around the walls of the main hall, there are many finished and semi-finished weapons of war, which are exquisitely made and have a beautiful appearance.

Qi Yue smiled secretly in his heart, almost all of these finished products were yellow-level weapons, all of which were eye-catching by their appearance, deceiving outsiders, and showing how superb Yuan Ji's refining skills were.

Low cost, high price, Yuan Ji knows this well, and has made a lot of money.

The most important thing in a weapon is not its appearance, but its practicality and power. No matter how beautiful the appearance is, it is still useless if it is vulnerable.

"Huang Xiang, you're actually sleeping again! Get over and prepare a tool embryo for me, ask for two yellow-level medium-grade medium-sized battle sword embryos, move quickly! Yuan Ji looked at the corner of the hall and scolded.

"Master...... Why are you here?"

On the rattan chair in the corner, the sleeping young man was awakened by Yuan Ji's voice, and fell off the rattan chair with a bang, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Less nonsense, move faster. Yuan Ji looked at the refining materials in his hand, and he didn't have a good qi.

Huang Xiang looked at Qi Yue in surprise while selecting the instrument embryo and said, "Master, he is also here to assess the refiner's apprenticeship?

Thinking of this, Huang Xiang's small eyes revealed a trace of jealousy.

"Embryo?" Qi Yue was a little puzzled.

At this time, Huang Xiang had already walked over with two war sword models, brought the two embryos to the furnace, looked at Qi Yue and snorted coldly: "Rare and strange, you are also a child of the family, you have never seen the world." ”

Yuan Ji explained: "The embryo is this weapon model, the interior is hollow, engraved with stripes, and the model is made of special materials, which is very resistant to high temperatures. The refining material is melted into a furnace to melt into a liquid, and then the liquid is injected into the embryo, and when the liquid solidifies and cools, it becomes the prototype of a combat weapon. ”

"I see. ”

Qi Yue was secretly surprised: "The more precious the material, the more powerful the flame is needed. If you don't use the high temperature of the furnace ground fire, ordinary flames can't smelt materials at all, and becoming a refiner is indeed very strict. ”

Yuan Ji put the refining materials into the furnace, and the materials were melted into a viscous liquid by the flames.

Yuan Ji suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out something like a brush from the embroidered robe, and then carved a few times on the top of the hilt of the embryo, and the embryo began to crack.

Carefully injecting the liquid into the inside of the embryo, Yuan Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yuan Ji explained: "This thing is called the Divine Pattern Carving Knife, which is shaped like a brush, extremely sharp, and when the Xuan Force is injected into it, it can cut open the embryo. ”

Yuan Ji used the Divine Pattern Carving Knife to cut the embryo vertically in half from the side, revealing the red-hot battle sword inside.

"Qi Yue, you have to remember that the weapon has not yet been completely cooled and solidified, you must hurry up and carve the divine pattern, if you miss the time, your previous efforts will be in vain. ”

The reason why Yuan Ji patiently explained was because Qi Yue really impressed him, whether it was tempering or refining knowledge, he had a good grasp of it, and he intended to give advice.

Second, he is not afraid that Qi Yue will succeed in stealing the master, if he wants to refine the weapon, he needs refining tools and materials, except for the unique Tiangong Mansion, there is no such condition outside.

Yuan Ji urged the Xuan Li to gather on the carving knife, and began to seriously depict the divine pattern on the red war sword, the divine pattern was extremely obscure and complicated, like the meridians of the human body, but there were rules to follow.

Qi Yue's heart moved, and he merged the black Xuan Power into his eyes, and no one noticed that Qi Yue's eyes were no longer bloodshot, but black silk.

The more Qi Yue looked at it, the more fascinate he became, at this moment, the movements on Yuan Ji's hand seemed to be three times slower, and the depiction of the divine pattern seemed random, but in fact it followed the law of special trajectories.

After the engraving was completed, Yuan Ji took out the cooled sword and let Huang Xiang take it to the underground palace, where it was tempered by those craftsmen, then quenched with cold water, and then polished and sharpened, with scabbards and other decorations.

In this way, the smelting process of a weapon is completed.

Yuan Ji said: "After the depiction of the divine pattern is completed, it will be inlaid into the inside of the weapon, becoming its vein, and becoming one. Let me ask you, how much do you remember the route and intensity of Master Ben's inscription of the Divine Pattern just now?"

Qi Yue thought for a while and said, "About seventy percent, right?"

"Fart. Huang Xiang on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Dare to be arrogant in front of the master, it's really unbelievable! Normal people can remember half of it, they are already talented, if you remember seventy percent, you can become a first-order refiner and carve the weapon yourself!"

Yuan Ji also glanced at Qi Yue angrily, and snorted coldly: "Crazy man, now you do what I did just now, and let Master Ben see, how many catties and taels do you have?"

Huang Xiang on the side was also full of disdain.

He had been under Yuan Ji's sect since two years ago, and although he passed the first two assessments like Qi Yue, he was defeated in the inscription of the divine pattern.

There is no way, it is too difficult to engrave the divine pattern, he thinks that his talent is good, and racked his brains to observe Yuan Ji to inscribe the divine pattern dozens of times, but he only remembered Sancheng.

Sancheng Divine Pattern, the power that can be exerted is only minimal.

Therefore, even if Huang Xiang is one of the four major families in Black Cloud City, the noble son of the Huang family is just an apprentice of Yuan Ji, which is still due to the affection of the head of the Huang family.

Seeing Qi Yue's stunned and ignorant appearance, Huang Xiang's heart suddenly became contemptuous, and he looked disdainful.

"I don't know which family is not in the stream, it's best not to compete with me for the position of the refiner apprentice, get out from where you come from, engrave the divine pattern, it's just a dream. ”

Huang Xiang secretly slandered himself, looking forward to how Qi Yue would lose face next.
