Chapter 95 - Odd Talents
Chapter 95 – Odd Talents
The majority of the people who lived in this slum were commoners who earned their living in the counties. If it was Spiritual Farmers s, even if they were tenants without Ling Tian s, their status in this world would still far exceed that of commoners.
This area that the mortals resided in was constructed in a mess, without even a trace of care. However, Yang Junshan was able to traverse the maze-like alleys and alleys with ease, until he arrived in front of the two wooden doors made of rotten wood.
On the left door was a long lotus root, and on the right door was a goat that was stretching its neck in an attempt to eat the lotus root. Unfortunately, the painting was separated by two cracks in the door, making it look like a child’s prank. Yang Junshan looked at the painting and laughed: “It’s this painting, it shouldn’t be wrong!”
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Yang Junshan clenched his fist tightly and continued to pound on the door three times in a row. The sound of his fists hitting the door almost made the two doors fly backwards as dust splattered down.
Yang Junshan did not care, he clenched his fist and punched nine more times, the door lock creaked and creaked, as though it could break at any time, but no one replied.
Yang Junshan was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself: “Could it be that this isn’t the rhythm of the door knocking?”
“Who is it, who’s going to let me sleep in the afternoon!”
An impatient voice came from behind the door, “If this goes on, I’ll have to let you break my door. Do you want to change the two doors, or change the rhythm of the knocking? Well, we’ll think about it!”
One of the two wooden doors was pulled back, and a head full of messy hair suddenly emerged from the crack in the door, looking just like a Hanged Ghost.
“Eh? How come it’s a child? Who are you? How did you get here? How did you know the signal to knock on the door?”
Yang Junshan was not surprised at all when he saw the person in front of him. Although his messy hair covered most of his appearance, Yang Junshan could still immediately tell that this person was the person he was looking for. However, he looked much younger and more lively than his previous life.
Yang Junshan did not answer his question. He merely walked into the room and said: “All the guests are guests, so those who are able to find you here naturally have connections. Why are you asking so many questions?”
Seeing him walk in front of him, he finally realised that he had actually been fooled by a little kid, and anxiously said: “Ah, ah, I say, you have to at least tell me who introduced you, right? The people who came here are all frequent customers, no one introduced anyone to come here.”
Yang Junshan walked through the door and looked around him. The small courtyard was filled with all kinds of random things, although they seemed messy, Yang Junshan could tell that most of them were classified, but they were actually arranged in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Yang Junshan was ignoring him and was actually walking towards the house, the young man with disheveled hair immediately followed him and asked: “Then what are you looking for me for?”
Yang Junshan laughed: “What are you doing here?”
The young man blurted out, “Refining!”
Yang Junshan nodded and said, “I am here to forge weapons! “I plan to refine a low-grade magic tool.”
With that, Yang Junshan pushed open the door and walked in. A strange smell immediately rushed towards Yang Junshan’s nose, causing him to sneeze twice, and he immediately went to the two sides of the door to open the windows, allowing the fresh air in the courtyard to change the dirty air in the house.
On the floor of the room, on the table, on the windowsill, on the chairs, everything that could be placed was filled with tools, pigments, wood, bones, fur, gold, iron, earth, stone, paper, barrels of unknown liquid, and so on. In the center of the room was a large iron stove, as if it had not been lit for a long time, and its surface was covered within layer of rust.
All that was left on the ground was a footpath, one end to the front door, the other to a small wooden bed, the other to a single empty stool and a square table filled with tools.
The small wooden bed against the wall was half filled with books. Only a foot-wide blanket was left on the bed. The young man must have been sleeping there.
After looking through everything in the house, Yang Junshan realized that the messy haired young man was not following him in. When he turned around, he saw that the young man was standing at the entrance of the house, looking at him with an unsettled expression.
“Eh, why didn’t you come in? This is your house!”
When the young man heard this, he stepped into his room, and not knowing when, he had put all the hair on his forehead behind his head, revealing a face that had not been washed for who knows how many days. Instead, his eyes became more and more lively, and he said with a serious expression, “Are you really going to make me forge artifacts?”
Yang Junshan was surprised instead, and said: “Right, what, is therroblem?”
The young man did not answer Yang Junshan’s question, and instead asked, “Who exactly were you introduced to me, or were you simply sent by someone else?”
While he was speaking, the young man stared at Yang Junshan with his bright eyes, the aura from his entire body was unstable, as though if there was any disagreement, he would immediately attack.
Yang Junshan glanced at him in amusement and said: “I say, brother, why are you, an early stage martial arts realm cultivator, so cautious against me, a Mortal Realm cultivator? You claim that you arefiner yourself, so I wanted to ask someone to refine a lifeblood tool for me.
When the young man heard Yang Junshan’s words, he knew that he had overreacted. The Qi around his body immediately calmed down, but he still asked, “Ouyang Sen, Ouyang Miao, Ouyang Xin, Ouyang Qin, Ouyang Peilin, Ouyang Yulin, Ouyang Zhenlin, which one of them do you know?”
Yang Junshan suddenly said: “A member of the Ouyang Family, you suspect that I was sent here by a member of the Ouyang Family?”
The young man sneered and said, “You really do know about the Ouyang Family. Leave, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Let’s call it a day!”
Yang Junshan said helplessly: “Alright, it seems like there is a misunderstanding in the process, I will introduce myself. I am originally a member of the Yang family of the Bluestone Town, and now that I am a member of the Mengyu County, I naturally know of the Ouyang family, since they are one of the two great sects of the Yuxian, but to say what relationship I have with the Ouyang family, you have too much respect for me.”
The young man was silent for a moment, and then he said, “Since you are not a member of the Ouyang Family, then you should know that I have never refined a magic tool before.”
This time, it was Yang Junshan’s turn to be shocked: “What? How was this possible? That’s not right, then how did you say you were refining? Furthermore, that furnace in your room is clearly a crafting furnace! ”
The young man’s face turned red and he roared: “I told everyone that I’m a refiner, and every one of them are not f * cking taking me seriously. Only you, a little kid, would believe me and make me suspect you!”
The young man paced around the room irritably, pointing his finger up and down: “Also, and, you, a Mortal Realm cultivator who is not much more than ten years old, at most can be considered a little Prominent Class child, you actually know about the crafting furnace? The biggest problem is that you were actually able to find me here, but you don’t know that I usually only draw some runes, carve some ornaments, and purify some spirit materials. I told everyone that I came here that I know how to refine spirit artifacts, but no one was willing to believe me … ”
“So, even you don’t believe yourself,” Yang Junshan directly interrupted him, as he mocked. “So when I said I wanted to look for you to refine an artifact, even you started to suspect yourself?”
“Bullshit!” The young man walked back and forth kicking the various tools placed on the ground until it was messy and he kept scratching his head and saying, “I do know how to forge artifacts, but, but …”
“It’s just that you’ve never tried to refine it!”
“That’s right!” The young man glared at Yang Junshan and said: “You still dare to let me refine a magical equipment?”
Yang Junshan spread out his hands and said: “I want to refine a magical artifact, but I don’t have a way, how about you help me find a way? Judging from your tone just now, your background shouldn’t be simple, your relationship with the’s famous sect and Ouyang Family is quite deep, I presume the Ouyang Family has a large industry that includes refiners who are revered by the family, otherwise … ”
“Don’t even think about it!” The young man thought of something and suddenly laughed evilly: “I am from the Ouyang family, right? But why should I help you?” Hehe, unless you can get me to refine some equipment for you, since you don’t have a way, why not let me help you! ”
This time, it was Yang Junshan who was unwilling, and said: “You have never refined a weapon before?”
When the young man saw that things were about to go sour, he hurriedly said, “It’s true that I’ve never refined an artifact before, but you know that I’m a member of the Ouyang Family after all. You have to admit that I have a complete refining heritage, and every step of the refining process has been demonstrated to me.
Seeing that the young man was about to curse and swear, Yang Junshan rolled his eyes and said: “To tell you the truth, I have yet to prepare all the spirit materials for my weapon. I need to first ask the refiner what kind of tools and materials I can use my main spirit materials to refine, and also what kind of supplementary spirit materials I need.”
The young man’s eyes lit up again as he said: “Tell me, you’ve already prepared those spirit materials. I’ll help you study them!”
Yang Junshan said: “The main spirit materials I have in hand ariece of yellow mud, as well as a few other spirit materials, such as clay powder, pattern breaking powder and the like, they are all the supporting spirit materials for refining spirit artifacts.”
The young man laughed and said, “I can see that you are not completely ignorant about artifact forging, and I’m afraid that you would not believe me if I didn’t show you some of my true abilities. Well, Tian Huang Sludge itself is made of extremely good quality low-grade magic materials, and it comes from the fragmented remains of medium-grade magic material Tian Huang stone. If you were to refine a magic tool, it would be best to use a seal or seal to form a magic tool. Tian Huang Sludge is a spirit material witure earth attribute. If there is disagreement between the attributes, then another spirit material with a different attribute will need to be added to it to change the attributes. ”
Yang Junshan said solemnly: “I cultivate the earth attribute technique, the Pure Earth attribute technique.”
The young man smiled and said, “It seems that your requirements for yourself are very high. In that case, the difficulty of refining a single-attribute magic tool will increase a little, mainly because the range of spirit materials you can choose will be further reduced, but in order to not waste the quality of your field of yellow mud, and to refine a magic tool, the number of types of spirit materials cannot be too low. This will inevitably increase the difficulty of finding spirit materials, and I will carefully think about how to design a few solutions for you to list out the types of spirit materials needed to refine magic tools.”
Although Yang Junshan did not know why he would hide in the slums of a county to become an inscriptionist, his inheritance in the area of equipment forging was extremely complete. He was able to design three plans for Yang Junshan in a short two hours.
Furthermore, looking at the knowledge that Yang Junshan had gained from refining in his previous life, these three sets of methods were practical and feasible, and were indeed worthy of being one of the “three prodigies” in the Heaven-Shaken Sect in the future.
Amongst these three methods, the highest quality and variety of spirit materials used for the Seal Form Incantation was the most, and the most varied one was Yang Junshan had in his hands. The weight of the field yellow mud in his hands was just enough, and he also needed ten other earth attribute spirit materials, which after training, could be said to be the best quality and quality of the low grade spirit artifacts. Whether it was in terms of power or quality, the two other types of Seal Form Inscriptions were inferior, but the amount and types of spirit materials required were much lesser.
However, the young man on the side instigated: “Brat, don’t say that I didn’t warn you, that Seal Form Tool still haossibility of being upgraded in the future. In other words, if you obtain Tian Huang Stone in the future, you’ll be able to level up to mid-grade.
Yang Junshan looked at him with his eyeballs slanted and said: “There are two types of spirit materials here that I don’t know where to obtain. If I can’t get them then I won’t be able to refine them!”
The young man was surprised: “Brat, what do you mean? Could it be that you want this refiner to flip it over for you? ”
Yang Junshan immediately sighed and shook his head: “It’ity, it’s a pity, we originally had the best solution, but now we can only choose one inferior.”
The young man said, “I am a refiner, and only others would ask for my help. How can I be so unreasonable? Don’t even think about it!”
Yang Junshan however, said: “I think we should choose the second type.
The young man became anxious and said: “Brat, your family is a Prominent Class, can’t you provide some help? There’s only two spirit materials left to increase the power of the magical equipment by a level. If we miss out on it, it would be a waste! ”
Yang Junshan shook his head and sighed: “I don’t have any other methods since I’m short on money, let’s do the second one!”
“Alright, alright!”
The young man started to get agitated again, and said: “I, Ouyang Xulin, am already afraid of you, tell me which two types of spirit materials you need and I’ll give you a way!”
Yang Junshan immediately beamed with joy, and said: “That’s truly great, don’t worry, in the future, I will definitely return it to you. If you can’t do it, you can be converted into a Jade Coins!”
All his life, he had pursued the perfection of refining techniques, and all the magic tools he had refined sought to maximize the use of spirit materials. He sought for the strongest power, the most perfect function, the most suitable attribute, and even this kind of pursuit for perfection had formed into a very strong bigotry.
In his previous life, whenever a cultivator sought to be refined by him, they would choose to sacrifice one of their artifact’s power, abilities, attributes, etc. If the person was on good terms with him, Ouyang Xulin would rather give up the artifact to forge by himself. In the future, he would just need to return the treasure or convert it to a Jade Coins.
Ouyang Xulin coldly snorted, and said: “Since that’s the case, I will also speak the truth first, if this spirit artifact refinement is crippled, then you cannot roll around here, there iule for the refining world to follow, so the so called 31% is also fine, but that means you have to prepare three spirit materials for me to help you refine the spirit artifact three times. As long as one of them succeeds, then there is no need to compensate for the other two spirit materials used.
As for the so-called “Master Fei” of the Heaven-Shaken Sect Courtyard, he was only colluding with the Yang brothers to bully Yang Junshan for not understanding the rules, in an attempt to deceive Yang Junshan.
Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “I understand the rules, but it will take some time before the furnace can be used, I presume you have to make some preparations yourself?”
Ouyang Xulin nodded his head: “Talking to a wise man is simple, after all this is the first time I have refined a weapon in my life, I need to be prepared. Oh right, when will you be able to gather enough spirit materials?”
“Half a year!” Yang Junshan thought for a while and said.
