"To refine a treasure, you must remember two things. First, it is about the skill of a refiner, and secondly, it is about the materials. "Both are indispensable, after all, it is hard for a woman to make a meal without rice."

On the stage, Instructor Zuo Gang continuously explained the main points of refining. Previously, everyone was still interested in listening to his lecture, but later on, they all withered away like frosted eggplants.

"Sigh, even a teacher like him can't say anything. He's just speaking with his mouth. If you want to say I can say it too. " A young disciple muttered in a low voice.

"Alright!" Do you think it's that easy to refine a treasure? Just refining a low-grade treasure would take several months. Moreover, this does not even include the time to purchase the materials. "

"Since that's the case, what's the point of learning refining?"

"It's better than not having any birds to use, isn't it? There are too many skills, do you understand? "Maybe when I get old, I'll be able to open a blacksmith's shop and earn some money."

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Han Chen and Qiao Feiyan could not help but laugh. They looked at each other and laughed.

Refining a treasure was naturally not something that could be done in a short period of time. Compared to refining pills, the knowledge needed to forge weapons was also quite a lot.

"Everyone, be more serious." Zuo Gang frowned as he saw everyone's absent-minded expressions. I was talking about the tempering technique just now, and now I'm going to talk about the condensing technique. "

"Instructor, what is a congealing method?" A student asked listlessly.

"You must be a bumpkin!" "If you don't understand, then listen carefully." Zuo Gang walked to the side of the equipment and picked up a hammer with his right hand, "The so-called tempering technique is to forge one hammer after another." But this method of condensation didn't require these tools. Some grandmaster refiners directly melted the materials with their True Fire and then reinforced their bodies with Martial Qi. "

After hearing Zuo Gang's words, everyone couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.

"Instructor, do you know how to condense?"

"This?" Zuo Gang looked a bit embarrassed as he cleared his throat and said, "The condensation method belongs to a high-grade refining technique. Only Grandmaster level artificers would be able to grasp this technique. I don't know this technique."

"So you don't know how to do it, Instructor!" "Sigh."

Loud hissing sounds could not help but ring out from below. Zuo Gang glared at them and scolded with a stern face, "These are all common smithing knowledge. You all need to master them properly. Otherwise, don't be mocked by others in the future." Let's go on to say that using the refining method can greatly shorten the time spent on refining. Furthermore, the weapons refined are also much more powerful than the tempering techniques. "

When he was at Wan Chao City back then, before he left, Bo Hui had once gifted him with a set of Dwarf's artifact forging techniques. I wonder if there are any important methods to condense the spiritual energy in there? Han Chen thought about it in his mind.

About an hour later, Zuo Gang finished his lecture.

The twenty over students were about to fall asleep. They stretched lazily and yawned as they left. Zuo Gang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at them. His own voice had turned hoarse, but it was actually this group of rascals who had fallen asleep.

"Instructor." Han Chen and Qiao Feiyan then stood up and walked to the front of Zuo Gang.

"" Zuo Gang raised his eyelids, his eyes revealing a tinge of admiration and satisfaction. " The two of you are still rather well-behaved, and have been listening to my lecture attentively the entire time, unlike those bastards, not bad, not bad. "

"Haha, Muse." Han Chen cupped his fists, and laughed: "I have something to ask of you, Master."

"Feel free to speak!"

With a move of his mind, a rusty broken sword appeared out of nowhere in Han Chen's palm. Qiao Feiyan raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes revealing a trace of confusion.

"Master, please take a look. Can this broken sword be restored?"

Zuo Gang squinted his eyes, and carefully took the broken sword from Han Chen's hands, then began to carefully inspect it. Zuo Gang occasionally frowned and shook his head. Han Chen was not anxious, he patiently waited at the side.

After a while, Zuo Gang let out a long sigh and shook his head: "Han Chen, this sword was created by some great master using a refining method, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore."

"Oh, so it's like that!" Han Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

"Then, Instructor, do any of the other Refining Instructors in the courtyard know the method of refining?" Qiao Feiyan asked gently.

"Yes."

"Really?" Han Chen's and Qiao Feiyan's eyes lit up.

Zuo Gang nodded and said with a certain tone, "Yes, but he will definitely not help you."

"Is that so? Who is that master? " Qiao Feiyan said.

"Ling Fangtu."

"Ling Fangtu? Ling Xuan Manor's people? "

"That's right, it's Master Ling Fangtu from Ling Xuan Hall." Zuo Gang returned the broken sword in his hand back to Han Chen and continued, "Ling Xuan Manor is one of the five residences, so they have a good grasp of forging techniques. Moreover, there were a lot of refining talent. Actually, I am also a hanger-on of Ling Xuan Manor. But I think the only one who has the ability to repair your broken sword, is Master Ling Fangtu. "

The five great families were formed by the five forces: Violet Dragon Manor, Dan Hao Mansion Palace, Moyun Palace, Ling Xuan Manor, and Luo Chen Manor.

Amongst them, Ling Xuan Manor was a place where they had seen the best in terms of equipment forging and the Dan Hao Mansion was a place where pill refining was the main focus. This was something that everyone in The City of Innocence knew. But of course, the other three palaces were also extremely powerful. The five residences united, but similarly, they balanced each other.

"Thank you, Instructor, for your advice." Han Chen cupped his fists and said.

"It's fine."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Zuo Gang nodded, "Go!"

Han Chen left the Refining Department with Qiao Feiyan. Although he did not get a satisfactory answer, Han Chen was not very depressed. When he came, he actually didn't have much hope. This was because the broken sword was lying on the third floor of the treasure pavilion. If it could be easily recovered, the academy would have long since repaired it.

"What kind of person is that Ling Fangtu? Do you know what I mean? " As the two of them headed towards the Alchemy Department, Han Chen asked.

Qiao Feiyan pondered for a moment, then lightly pursed her red lips, "Ling Fangtu is the younger brother of Palace Chief Ling Xuan, and also a model Senior Elder of the five palaces.

Han Chen secretly nodded, no wonder Zuo Gang was so determined to not let Ling Fangtu help him. Let's not talk about his personality first, with his identity, he probably wouldn't bother to pay attention to Han Chen.

Qiao Feiyan's eyes rippled faintly as she smiled faintly, "Give me the broken sword! For my royal father's sake, Ling Fangtu should help me. "

Han Chen was startled, but after pondering for a moment, he shook his head.

"What's wrong? Don't you want me to help you? " Qiao Feiyan was a little confused.

Han Chen looked into his eyes and said earnestly, "No, I think it is just a small matter, there is no need to spend so much effort."

"But …"

"Alright, stop it. I understand your intentions. " Han Chen's tone showed gentleness.

"Alright!" Qiao Feiyan did not speak anymore, and the two of them immediately headed towards the Alchemy Department.

The location of the Alchemy Department's lecture was also an open-air dao platform. However, compared to the Refining Department, this place was already filled with people. There were roughly two hundred or so students, and the majority of them were boys.

"What's going on?" Han Chen was obviously surprised as he looked at the crowd on the stage in surprise. Logically speaking, the number of alchemists and refiners in the department was quite low, so much so that they shouldn't be able to compete with the number of refiners.

This was because the basic requirement to become an alchemist was that one's mental strength must reach the initial stage. This alone was enough to shut out most of the students. But this situation was far too different from what Han Chen was thinking.

"Surprised, right? You'll know why soon? " Qiao Feiyan chuckled.

Han Chen shrugged his shoulders, expressing his anticipation. Just as the two were about to head up the stage to find a seat, several figures suddenly blocked their path.

"Brat, are you used to being in the academy?" "Heh heh."

The voice was extremely ear-piercing, Han Chen frowned, only to see that the person stopping him was actually Gongsun Liuhe's group. Qiao Feiyan frowned, and shouted in a cold voice, "Gongsun Quanhe, what are you trying to do?"

The leader was none other than Gongsun Quanhe. He let out a cold laugh, and the gaze he looked at Qiao Feiyan with faintly revealed traces of burning desire. Princess Fei Yan, what's your relationship with him? "

"You don't need to care about our relationship, hurry up and get out of the way." Qiao Feiyan replied unhappily.

"Hmph." Gongsun Quanhe squinted his eyes, and stared at Han Chen coldly, "Let me introduce myself, I am Gongsun Quanhe. "A member of Gongsun Zong Clan, kid, you should know why we came looking for you, right?"

Han Chen looked at him without fear, "I'm sorry, please speak your mind."

"Hmph. Brat, you still dare to pretend?" Gongsun Liuhe walked up and cursed, "I haven't settled the score with you. Yesterday, among the three cauldrons of the Dragon Subduing Formation, if it wasn't for you and that stinking girl, I wouldn't have been eliminated earlier."

"Hehe, that's just your own ability. You don't need to bark here, do you?"

Han Chen did not spare them with his words, towards Gongsun Family, his heart was also filled with unspeakable hatred. Even if they did not provoke him, Han Chen would not let them go.

The crowd nearby realized the situation over here and hurriedly surrounded them. People were busybodies, and not many people did not like to watch the show.

"What happened? Isn't that Senior Brother Quan He and the rest? "

"That seems to be Han Chen, heavens! Why is my Goddess Feiyan standing together with Han Chen? "

"Fuck you, when did Miss Yan Fei become your goddess? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? "

"Gongsun Quanhe seems to like Miss Yan Fei too! Could it be that he went to cause trouble when he saw Han Chen walking together with her? "

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves, while Han Chen, Gongsun Liuhe and the others were getting closer and closer to him. There seemed to be a thick smell of gunpowder in the air.

But as everyone knew, Gongsun Quanhe's strength had the second level of morphogenesis.
