C264 disciple of Gu Zong (2/2)

Just then, the manor door creaked open, and Fang Chen walked out from within.

”Little brother.” When the Spirit Monkey saw Fang Chen, it greeted him in a low voice.

After that, Fang Chen walked to the front of the monkey.

”Master Gu Zong has already accepted a disciple, what else do you guys want?” Fang Chen looked at the Spirit Monkey and asked.

”Little brother, we came this time to find out who exactly became Master Gu Zong's disciple?” The spirit monkey asked.

Hearing that, Fang Chen intentionally paused for a moment, then said: ”This ….”

Fang Chen made a difficult expression and immediately fell silent.

Seeing that, Ling Hou took out a pile of spirit stones and handed it over to Fang Chen: ”Little brother, we just want to ask around, who is Master Gu Zong's disciple?”

Fang Chen received the spirit stone, grinned, and said: ”Three days later, you will naturally know.”

After that, Fang Chen quickly returned to the residence. Seeing that, everyone was at a loss.

A minute later, the Spirit Monkey's curses spread across the entire mountain. This damned big bro, after taking his spirit stones, he actually did not tell him who Gu Zong's disciple was.

Ever since the news of Gu Zong taking in a disciple had spread, countless practitioners of the younger generation had been discussing who exactly was Gu Zong's disciple.

And inside Gu Zong's residence, Fang Chen was learning refining from Gu Zong.

Because Fang Chen had never interacted with artifact forging before, he lacked knowledge on this aspect.

”This is a book on the basics of refining. Take a good look when you get back.” Gu Zong said as he handed a book to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen kept the book and nodded.

At this moment, Gu Zong said: ”Fang Chen, ever since you have become my disciple, countless warriors have been searching for you. They definitely aren't convinced yet …”

”So, three days later, after I announce your news, there will definitely be a lot of martial practitioners coming to challenge you. You need to be prepared.” Gu Zong laughed.

Fang Chen slightly nodded his head. Long ago, Fang Chen had already understood the structure of the west.

The martial practitioners of the younger generation of the three great sects were honored with the title of ”three great peak experts”.

The three of them were the strongest among the young generation in the west, and their cultivation had already reached the early stage of Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.

When Fang Chen heard about this, he immediately calmed down. With his current strength, he could handle the warriors at the early stage of Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.

”Disciple is ready.” Fang Chen said.

Hearing this, Gu Zong nodded and said: ”You can go back first. After you finish reading this book, come look for me later.”

Gu Zong sent the message that his disciple's identity would be known to the world in three days time. Countless practitioners were waiting for him.

After all, Gu Zong's position in the west was too high, and he was the only Master Refiner in the west.

While they were waiting, Fang Chen was reading the introduction book on refining tools in the courtyard.

”In this book, the introduction is very detailed. I even finished introducing some refining materials.” Fang Chen slightly said.

Refining was divided into three steps, the first step was to prepare the refining materials, the second step was to control the fire, and the third step was to train the spirit.

As for the first step, it was easy to understand and easy to accomplish. The most difficult part was the second step and the third step.

Once the control of the fire was not good enough, all previous efforts would be wasted, so controlling the fire was very important. The third step, training the spirit, was when determining the rank of the weapon.

The better the nurturing, the better the weapon.

Fang Chen spent half a day to finish reading this book. He felt that he had understood a lot about the Dao of Artifact Forging.

On the second day, Fang Chen went to look for Gu Zong.

”Master, I've finished reading it.” Fang Chen said.

Hearing Fang Chen's words, Gu Zong's face revealed a trace of doubt, and he immediately said: ”You're really done reading?”

Fang Chen nodded, upon seeing this, he immediately decided to test Fang Chen.

”If the control of the fire is not good during the forging process, how can I remedy this?” Gu Zong asked.

Fang Chen thought for a moment, then said: ”If this happens, I need to immediately increase the intensity of the flames, and make the refining materials twice as hot as normal.”

Hearing that, Gu Zong nodded his head in satisfaction and continued to ask.

Just like this, a quarter of an hour passed and Gu Zong's eyes were filled with shock.

The questions he asked were all slightly complicated, he did not expect Fang Chen to actually be able to answer them smoothly.

Although the beginner's book on refining was relatively simple, it was impossible for ordinary people to understand everything without three days.

At first, Gu Zong did not think that Fang Chen was watching carefully, but when he asked all of the questions perfectly answered by Fang Chen, he was completely shocked.

This was simply an exceptional refining genius.

At this moment, Gu Zong was extremely excited in his heart.

”Since you have finished reading the introductory book on refining, the next step is to test whether you have the qualifications to become a refiner.” Gu Zong said.

In order to become a refiner, one had to go through the most basic of conditions. Some martial artists had strong theories, but their practice was poor. Some had the opposite.

In short, no matter who it was, if they wanted to become an artificer, they had to satisfy the most basic of requirements, and Fang Chen was no exception.
