Thank you Hupu’s friends for coming to support O(∩_∩)O~

Open your eyes and your sister is right in front of you.

After turning his head a little, the middle-aged man was around.

He raised his eyes again and stood on the street of crowded shops.

Everything just now seemed like a dream in Nan Ke.

But Liu Tianya knew that this was not a dream, it was an adventure brought by the ring in his hand!

"Yingying, I think this ring is good, please buy it." Liu Tianya said in a plain tone, without showing an excited look on the street.

Liu Tianying was very puzzled, but she always listened to her brother and didn't ask questions. She turned around and bargained with the middle-aged man, and finally sold for 400 gold coins.

When she left Jiuling Village and reached the uninhabited wilderness, Liu Tianying finally couldn't help it. She asked curiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you just now? Why did you suddenly get stunned for a few seconds? And this ring is so ugly, where is it worth 400 gold coins?"

This matter is so important that Liu Tianya dared not reveal it casually. He laughed and said, "Yingying, aren't there only four hundred gold coins? We are all little rich people now, it doesn't matter. I saw that the style of this ring is too strange, so I was stunned for a while. I put it on and see, it's pretty good, haha..."

Although he was still full of doubts, his brother had already said this, so Liu Tianying stopped asking questions.

It was already evening when they got home. The two made up a lie and half-truely told what they saw and heard at the Zaijiulingzhuang auction house. When they heard that the Third Elder bought the Qi Condensation Pill and the Bloodthirsty Knife at a high price, Liu Wanhua did not react at all. But when he heard that the Third Elder spent 1.3 billion gold coins to buy 30 kilograms of Yunwen Iron Ore, his eyebrows were twisted together.

"Dad, is there anything wrong with the third elder?" Liu Tianying asked carefully.

Liu Wanhua solemnly ordered: "Don't ask too much, you two, and you must never talk about this to others in the future. Do you remember?"

The two younger generations couldn't manage the elder's affairs even if they wanted to, so they went back to their own rooms to rest.

In the next few days, Liu Tianying went to the inner class from time to time. Although she became a little rich woman, she unexpectedly did not shop extra, but instead focused on practicing.

Liu Tianya no longer went to observe the Soul Monument, and stayed alone in the farmhouse on the back mountain to fiddle with the mysterious ring.

Since he first entered the spirit-locking world and entered that strange little building, Liu Tianya failed to enter again for several days. It was not until the eighth night that Liu Tianya went in again. But this time he couldn't stay in the building for too long. After reading two pages of the volume "Bloody Battle Eighteen Styles", he was so tired that he was confused again. When he opened his eyes, the rooster was already singing.

"What a strange ring."

Liu Tianya shook his head helplessly. According to this efficiency, he only read two pages of paper every eight days. In a year, he could only finish "The Eighteen Styles of Bloody Battle". He was so full of treasure trove in his hand that he sighed in vain.

"You have to think of a countermeasure." Liu Tianya thought so, but it was already the agreed day, so he could only let go of this matter for the time being and come to the Wizards Building with his sister as promised.

The shopkeeper of the Wizards Building had already received the orders from the shopkeeper. As soon as he saw Liu Tianya and his sister, he led them directly to a big room in the backyard. In addition to the shopkeeper Wang of the Wizards Building, there was also an extremely tall and strong man.

The reason why he is said to be tall is that although he is sitting on a wide chair, his height is still higher than that of Liu Tianying, who is 1.7 meters tall.

The reason why he is said to be a strong man is that although he is wearing a loose gray cloth robe, just looking at the big hands outside the clothes, you can infer how strong and developed the muscles under the gray cloth robe are.

This strong man is already a little older, with a somewhat old face, probably over two hundred years old. As soon as Liu Tianya walked into the house, the strong man's cow eyes stared at him. When he saw Liu Tianya being uncomfortable all over, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Suddenly, Manager Wang showed joy: "Do you think Tianya is very good?"

The strong man smiled slightly: "You can give it a try."

After two sentences, it turned out that he was a person who cherished words and was as precious as gold.

"I understand." Manager Wang said with a smile.

He turned his head and introduced to Liu Tianya brothers and sisters: "This is the examiner of the second level, the master craftsman Taiming!"

Taiming put away his smile and nodded slightly with a cold expression.

"Master Master?"

The brother and sister looked at the strong man named Taiming in shock. They had also guessed who the examiner in the second level would be and what questions they might take. Even their father Liu Wanhua had mentioned several possibilities based on the situation of passing the three levels in the past. But none of them expected that the examiner in the second level would actually be a master!

A master craftsman is not necessarily a strong man. As long as his skills in sawing wood, shaping iron, and building houses reach the top level, he may be awarded the title of master craftsman by the royal family.

Those great craftsmen who are not strong men are no less famous than those of top-level men. Because they can not only create weapons that can kill the strong, but also create armor that even the strong cannot defeat!

Of course, the premise is that they have precious materials, and the strong do not have any magical weapons in their hands.

The most solid fortifications of mankind, such as the imperial city of the four kingdoms and the fortress at the junction of orcs, were also completed by the great craftsman. Those fortifications have been baptized by millions of years of war and still stand firm, and their solidity can be seen.

It is precisely because the great master is so good that the status of the master is not inferior to that of the level nine strongman. In a sense, the importance of the master to the four royal families is even higher than that of the level nine strongman.

It was really amazing that it was just an assessment that he would invite such a noble character as the master craftsman to take action personally. Unconsciously, the two of them sat more straighter.

However, there was no time for the two to be surprised. After both parties introduced each other, Taiming stood up.

"Walk."

After saying only one word, he walked out of the house.

“Uh~~”

Liu Tianya touched his nose and quickly followed. Liu Tianying and Manager Wang followed him and left the house together.

Taiming was more than two meters and four meters tall and was very big. After walking a few steps, he moved to a vacant land behind the courtyard. This vacant land was also the industry of the Wizards Building. An iron furnace had been built on the vacant land. Several shop staff were busy around the iron furnace to ensure that the iron furnace maintained the temperature. There were also piles of pig iron blocks and thick copper blanks next to the iron furnace, which looked like about a hundred pounds.

"See clearly!"

It was still concise and to the point. After that, Taiming wiped the storage ring with his hand and took out a huge hammer and the same huge tongs.

When, when, when, when, when, when...

The knock sounded, and not long after, a piece of pig iron weighing two or three pounds was only one-third of the size.

Taiming still did not stop. He continued to beat the cast iron block. Under the high temperature of the iron furnace, the red iron block became extremely easy to form.

Liu Tianya knew that this was the assessment content of the second level. He looked at Taiming intently and tried hard to remember Taiming's ironwork. He needed to remember everything in his wrist bend, the shape of the hammer holding the hand, the tongs turning, the force of his legs, the waving of his arms, and the rhythm of his body. He needed to remember everything firmly.

After a while, Taiming stopped beating, and the tongs moved out of the iron furnace and reached into the cold water not far away. Only the sound of "Ziz..." sounded. After half a minute, the tongs returned to the iron furnace and the hammer fell down again.

After repeating this three times, a weapon about three inches long appeared in front of everyone. Liu Tianya walked closer and saw that it was a flying knife as thin as a cicada!

What is the casting level of iron weighing two or three pounds into a flying knife like this?

Taiming's face remained unchanged, and the second piece of pig iron was placed in the iron furnace. The same technique, the same time, the same flying knife.

Then, the third, fourth, fifth...

After casting forty-nine flying knives, Taiming stopped beating and closed his eyes and rested for a minute.

Then, continue.

This time, Taiming beats the thick copper billet, and the method of swinging the hammer is very different. When forging pig iron blocks, Taiming's hammer is straight up and down, with a powerful momentum. When forging thick copper billets, the huge hammer seems to have lost its power, like a butterfly, flying up and down, dancing gracefully.

The gorgeous forging methods brought amazing forging products, two or three kilograms of thick copper blank, gathered into a hair-thin bee needle. Two fingers were stretched out to twist the bee needle, which was quite heavy, at least half a kilogram of weight.

Liu Tianya knew such a small size and such a large weight. This is the so-called "copper essence". I once read it in a martial arts book. Generally, one or two copper essences can be forged in ten kilograms of thick copper, and the rest of the thick copper was wasted. And Taiming actually lost so little rough copper, which shows how clever his methods are!

"Is this the strength of a master craftsman?"

Liu Tianya was shocked. Whether it was for passing the level or seeking knowledge, he tried his best to remember every move of Taiming. However, no matter how hard Liu Tianya tried, he felt that his eyes were not enough and could only remember some of the moves.

Fortunately, Taiming didn't just forge a bee needle as thin as a hair. Like a flying knife, he stopped after forging 7749 bee needles in succession.

"The same time, the same quantity, and the same quality must be achieved within three years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiming put away his tools and stopped talking.
Chapter completed!
