It seemed that he had discovered Xi Wenming's unhappiness, and the iron rod that opened the door and led the way came to Ji Wenming, and said to him: "Little junior brother, give me these gifts, and I will help you distribute them to these senior brothers when you go back, you have suffered a lot with your uncle in the past few years! Now it's good to return to the furnace castle, this place is just like your own home! I will take you around when I have time." Let's go, I'll help you arrange a room to live in first!"

Ji Wenming put the gift back in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Don't bother Senior Brother, these people don't like gifts, I'd better take them back to avoid wasting! However, thank you Senior Brother for taking care of you! We have booked an inn, and we will rush back after the master visits the senior uncle, don't trouble Senior Brother!"

Tie Bang smiled: "What's the trouble, it's a great joy for Uncle Shi to return, the two of them have to talk all night when they meet, I can't let you stay aside, come with me!"

Hearing that he was reasonable, Ji Wenming had no choice but to acquiesce, followed behind Tie Rod, and came to a guest room on the third floor, and couldn't help but ask on the way, "Senior Brother Tie Rod, I have a question, why do those senior brothers under the master's uncle ignore each other and have a lot of worries?"

Tie Bang didn't expect Ji Wenming to feel so keen, he glanced back at the brothers downstairs who were cold-eyed, shook his head and whispered: "Did you find out? It's not for the promotion quota! The annual promotion conference is about to begin, and the master has five promotion casting apprentices and two promotion casting master places, in order to be able to get the opportunity to enter the temple this year, these brothers are competing fiercely, it is really a battle in the open and secret! Even you, an outsider, feel it!" It's a pity I can't catch up this year, otherwise, maybe I would be like them!"

I didn't expect this place to be so sought-after, I am afraid that so many apprentices under the master will not be able to share it, Ji Wenming thought of the master seeking a place for himself to be promoted to casting apprenticeship, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Seeing that Ji Wenming was obviously stunned, the iron rod said considerately: "Doesn't the little junior brother also want to participate in the promotion exam?" Then you can be regarded as a coincidence this time, and in half a month it will be the five-year casting talent competition, and each casting master will have some recommended places in his hands, if he can get the top ten, he can spend three days in the temple, compared to the past when he can only stay in the temple for an hour, this is a rare grace!"

Ji Wenming hesitated: "But the quota in the hands of the senior uncle, even those senior brothers and junior brothers are not enough, how can there be a vacant quota for me?"

There are dozens of apprentices and hundreds of apprentices under the bronze helmet, and these places are indeed not enough for internal distribution, but when the uncle speaks, maybe the master will sell him a face and give him a chance.

It's just that Tie Bang didn't expect this little junior brother to retreat at this time, lest he delay the development of this kind-faced little junior brother, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Little junior brother, to put it mildly, I have also understood over the years that this world is originally a world of great contention, if you want to go one step further and win without relying on strength, do you still have to rely on the mercy of others?" If I have enough strength, I'm afraid I will have to go to the master to fight for the place of the foundry, if you don't even have this confidence, even if the uncle asks for a place for you, you will get nothing when you go to the temple!"

With the encouragement of the iron rod, Ji Wenming thought about it, and secretly said in his heart, "What Senior Brother Tie said is very reasonable, this is a world of great contention? It is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat? What's more, instead of letting those mediocre talents get the casting test and waste the opportunity to participate in enlightenment, it is better for me to work hard, maybe I can really comprehend the wonder of the Open Heaven Creation Sutra!"

Seeing that Ji Wenming was stunned by what he said, the iron rod smiled slightly, gently helped him close the door, and quietly retreated.

Iron Rod is not kind and wants to help others, he just hates his senior brothers for taking away his qualifications to participate in the trial, so if you want to get in the way, it is best that everyone does not get this opportunity, as for whether this strange junior brother can get a chance, what does it have to do with him? It is better to be taken by him, and the senior brothers have no order to grow up and down, so as not to see the triumphant stinky faces of those people.

At this moment, in the reception room of the copper helmet, the copper hammer sat down, drank a sip of the slurry orange mushroom wine, and thought to himself that he had given the "Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion Lion" tail needle as a gift to open the way, which should be just right for the copper helmet's thoughts.

If it is for others, the tail needle of the "Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion" is useless, but this caster, the gold spar you give him is not precious, but it is not as good as some rare items, not to mention a clever idea, you can cast an artifact, it is a harvest that ten gold spar veins can't compare.

With this "Ten Thousand Poisonous Manticore" tail needle, it will be much easier to talk about the request again.

It is better to open the way than to beg out of thin air, the copper hammer knows it, looking at the copper helmet with joy, very happy, so he said: "Senior brother, my apprentice can be regarded as one in a million treasures, now I ask to come to the door, and please fulfill the senior brother!"

The bronze helmet waved his hand and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I understand your intention in coming to me in a hurry, just to earn a place for your apprentice! Don't worry, I can squeeze out a place for casting apprentices from it and give it to my nephew as a meeting gift, but I see that this little junior nephew has slender limbs, but it doesn't look like a good material for striking iron!"

The bronze hammer smiled: "Senior brother's eyes are like torches, I also felt too thin at the beginning, but don't look at him thin, the bones are full of muscles! The largest hammer left by the master back then, he can swing it with one hand, and he doesn't need to rest for four or five hours to beat the iron, which is not much better than you and me back then! Therefore, what I ask for is not the number of forging apprentices, but the number of forging masters!"

The bronze helmet said quite unexpectedly: "Forging master? That is impossible! Senior brother, for the sake of the apprentice's future, you have also taught thousands of apprentices, his own means of observing people, he is so thin and thin, slender limbs, he is not the material for being a magician at all, the number of apprentices, for the brother can be fulfilled, but how precious is the number of forgers, I have only one in my hand!? Besides, for the sake of the future of the apprentice, you actually do not hesitate to brag, thousands of pounds of hammer, swing it with one hand for four or five hours! The arm has to be broken! It's a lie!"

The copper hammer said angrily: "When did I lie to you, I won't tell you, this power is only one of them, this kid is full of quirky thoughts, the last time in the ancient city of Cangba, he made a bet with someone to forge twenty pieces of earth demon copper crystal a day......"

The copper hammer told the old story of Ji Wen's life, and he couldn't help but sell it.

"What? Twenty Earth Demon Bronze Crystals a day? Hahahahaha! This can't be...... The most skilled magician can only forge three pieces a day! Even if he doesn't sleep tirelessly, he will never exceed five pieces! You're really addicted to bragging!" the bronze helmet really didn't believe it, and retorted with a bull's eye.
