Chapter 61 First Refining

On the way from the reception room to the forging room, Huo Tuo began to make the usual preliminary inquiries about Ling Xiuyuan.

"Boy, since you want to become my master, you should also know that blacksmiths need to have thunder and fire attributes, right?"

Ling Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this and said respectfully: "Yes, I am an intermediate fire mage."

Huo Tuo was a little surprised and turned around to ask: "Intermediate level? You just went to college, right? There are not many middle-level people at this age! Which family do you belong to?"

Ling Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head and said: "I am not a member of the family. To be able to achieve my current level of cultivation can only mean that I have good talent. Also, I am a senior in high school this year, but I have been specially recruited by Pearl Academy."

The other two people walking together were a little scared. There are very few civilians who can reach the intermediate level before college by relying only on the resources of the school, and such people are generally called "geniuses"!

Also, you have such a high level of cultivation and have been specially recruited by the university, but you are told that you just have good talent? Human talk?

After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at the door of the forging room, and then Ling Xiuyuan and the other two followed Huo Tuo into his exclusive forging room.

When the layout of the forging room came into view, Ling Xiuyuan couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

Before he came here to become an apprentice, he had also taught himself about forging and materials for a period of time, and already had some basic understanding of the materials used for forging.

I saw that the entire wall opposite the door had been transformed into built-in storage cabinets, which were filled with various materials, including ores, alien claws, alien bones, alien skins, etc.

Each of these various materials is placed separately, with ice paper, silk, etc. placed underneath to prevent the materials from being stained with impurities.

The precious materials that Ling Xiuyuan could recognize include adamantine, sejin stone, and jadeite. These are all materials that are added when making magic tools used by super-level mages.

The shelves next to the workbench are filled with various tools, hammers of different sizes, various pliers, chisels, various files and metal shears.

Not far from the right hand side is the iron felt and the furnace, with several different styles of crucibles scattered on the ground nearby.

The most amazing thing is the cold water pool on the left.

After Ling Xiuyuan saw the pool, he asked Huo Tuo in front of him: "Master Huo, if I read correctly in that pool...is it a spiritual seed?"

Huo Tuo said with a little pride: "That's right! This is the water-based spiritual species - Hanjian I bought at a high price from other places.

This spiritual species is an extremely rare natural water spiritual species that contains cold nature. Its temperature will always remain below zero, but it will not freeze.

Even in terms of quality, this spiritual seed is already on the edge of the soul seed. If it grows in a suitable environment for a period of time, it may not be impossible to advance to become a soul seed.

When I saw this spiritual seed at the auction house, I bought it on a whim and used it to quench some of the magic tools I cast that needed to be quenched.

In fact, not only this water spiritual seed, I also put a fire spiritual seed into the forging furnace on your right to assist in forging."

Ling Xiuyuan had a look of admiration on his face when he heard this. He had never seen the fire spirit seed and had no bad comments about it, but the water spirit seed was definitely considered the top quality spiritual seed that all water mage dreamed of.

And such a top-quality spiritual species that can instantly increase a mage's combat power is only used to temper magic equipment. This shows that Huo Tuo's wealth is simply inhumane.

He felt that his previous guess about the speed at which blacksmiths made money might have been too conservative, and that the speed at which blacksmiths could make money might be a few hundred million points faster than he thought.

"Okay, you wait at the workbench and I'll see if there are any low-level materials I can use to practice."

Huo Tuo said, but stood still and did not move.

After waiting for a while, he kicked Li Junnan and started to curse: "Why did I accept a stupid disciple like you, who has no eyesight at all? Do you really want to watch me rummaging through the boxes and cabinets myself?"

Li Junnan quickly agreed, ran to a cabinet in the corner of the room, opened the cabinet door and started rummaging inside.

After rummaging for a while, he turned around and shouted: "Master, there is none!"

"I clearly remembered that there are still more, but I really can't count on you at all!" Huo Tuo cursed and walked towards the cabinet.

He walked to the cabinet and pushed Li Junnan away, then rummaged a few times, found three materials from the cabinet and came back.

As he walked away, he scolded Li Junnan: "What do you want me to say about you? You can't do such a small thing well..."

When he put these materials on the table, Ling Xiuyuan discovered that there might be a slight gap between his standards for low-level materials and the standards in Ling Xiuyuan's mind.

These three things are among the materials that can be used to forge spiritual-level magic tools. One of them even looks like the alien claw of a demon in the warrior advancement stage. The market price of these three materials alone is almost a thousand dollars.

Ten thousand.

These things are just for practicing. Ling Xiuyuan said, is this the blacksmith master? I love it!

"I'll teach you some basic operations first to see if you have the talent to be a blacksmith."

Huo Tuo said, and began to teach Ling Xiuyuan some basic knowledge of forging magic tools step by step.

However, this knowledge is only the kind that can be found everywhere, and even some mage hunters know a little bit about it. Of course, his own unique skills can only be learned after becoming a disciple.

Ling Xiuyuan followed Huo Tuo's instructions and completed the process of making magic tools step by step.

When he reached the step of smelting impurities in the material, Huo Tuo stopped Ling Xiuyuan's movements with excitement on his face.

"Boy, where did you get this strange flame? This flame is as if it was specially created for smelting materials!"

Ling Xiuyuan had already expected this question. The strange fire was very suitable for professions such as refining medicine and weapons. He had already thought about how to answer when asked about the strange fire: unknown origin, relic of his parents.

"This is a spiritual seed left to me by my parents. Before this, I didn't know that this flame was so suitable for refining weapons."

Huo Tuo became even more excited when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Did your parents tell you where you got it? Or you can go and ask your parents right away where you got the flame."

Ling Xiuyuan looked embarrassed when he heard this and said: "Master Huo, my parents had an accident during a mission a few years ago. This spiritual seed was left at home before their last mission."

Huo Tuo's originally excited expression froze, and then he whispered "Sorry" in a low voice.

Ling Xiuyuan waved his hand, and then continued to practice according to Huo Tuo's instructions.

Half an hour later, the first magic tool forged by Ling Xiuyuan was ready.

Huo Tuo picked up the newly baked magic shield and looked at it carefully, and then made his own evaluation.

"The level of this shield is less than the spiritual level. The production method is very rough and the materials are wasted. However, it is understandable because you are a beginner.

But because of the materials and your strange flames, this magical shield tool was originally only the lowest level magic tool, but now it has reached the edge of the spiritual level.

Even if I don't teach you how to forge, you should be able to ensure that you can forge spiritual-level magic tools by practicing more in the future.

Okay, your talent is quite good, and you also have that strange flame, so I will accept you as my student.

I have something else to do today, so you can come over every morning from tomorrow and I will start teaching you forging."

Ling Xiuyuan quickly thanked him, then said hello and turned around and walked outside.
