As a lord, I was forced to farm

Jiang Ran said, "I remember the blessing of fortune you received was pure flame?"

“That’s right.” Bai Lifeng also felt very lucky.

For weapon refiners, whether their spiritual talent is fire or metal is very important. Some weapon refiners prioritize recruiting apprentices with strong fire or metal attributes, or those with strong spiritual power.

For Bai Lifeng, a weapon refiner, the purity of the flames had a transformative effect, almost like a complete rebirth.

However, it should be noted that the type of blessing one receives is entirely random, so Bai Lifeng was extremely fortunate to receive the blessing of pure flame essence.

However, the idea of ​​good fortune being bestowed upon someone is not entirely without basis.

The fortune and blessings a territory bestows upon its people are also related to the characteristics of the lord or the territory.

For example, in the cold northern land of Wanhu, the blessings bestowed by the Luck Points here mostly enhance ice spirit power or provide the ability to resist the cold.

For example, the capital city of Dayan Province in Yunshang occupies the largest fire spirit stone vein in the Yunshang land. Its provincial king, Zhu Chutong, is a powerful fire-type cultivator. Therefore, most of the fortune points and blessings in his territory are related to fire-type abilities, which attracts a large number of fire-type cultivators to Dayan Province.

The blessings bestowed by Da Su are quite complex, because Jiang Ran has many personal abilities, and the environment of Da Su is also quite changeable, especially with the appearance of several secret realms and the Lingze Islands.

However, there are also several types of blessings that appear more frequently, such as those related to ice, fire, water, and spiritual power.

A territory has its own destiny. Even though many people did not receive Jiang Ran's blessing, the entire territory still seemed to be affected to some extent. For example, people with the talent to become spirit beast masters kept emerging in the territory, and there were more and more ice and fire type geniuses, etc.

……

"I heard from Feng Chi that you won't be going to the Feng family again this time you're back?"

After putting the Starry Illusion Box away, Jiang Ran invited Bai Lifei to have some tea, and said something to him as she did so.

Bai Lifeng solemnly said, "I have benefited greatly from the three years I spent in the Feng family. I have learned what I needed to learn and read what I needed to read. From now on, I will have to walk my own path."

Bai Lifeng is currently in his prime and is a rare creative weapon refiner. The Feng family naturally tried to retain him, even offering him a high-ranking official position and salary. However, Bai Lifeng knows that his current achievements are all thanks to the cultivation of Jiang Ran and even Da Su.

Bai Lifeng was certainly not the kind of person who forgot his roots.

Bai Lifeng smiled and said happily to Jiang Ran, "Although we are outsiders and cannot access advanced spirit carving and weapon refining techniques in the Feng family, the basic weapon refining knowledge is a rare inheritance in some small territories. As expected of Your Highness, I have written down all the books on weapon refining that I have read in the past three years, hoping that they will be of benefit to Your Highness and the Great Su."

As he spoke, Bai Lifeng took out the books he had organized over the past few days from his storage ring and respectfully presented them to Jiang Ran.

This stack of books and documents is more than a meter high.

Jiang Ran loved books very much, and upon seeing this, a rare glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Master Bai must have put in a lot of effort to copy so many books on weapon crafting from the Feng family."

Jiang Ran was delighted and naturally showered him with various rewards. Jiang Ran picked up a book called "The Scroll of Myriad Materials for Refining Weapons" and looked at it. It recorded hundreds of commonly used materials for refining weapons.

I then flipped through another book, "The Secret Manual of the Mysterious Furnace and the Carving Knife," which introduced the various refining furnaces and carving knives needed for crafting weapons.

The books Bai Lifeng brought were all about the most basic things in weapon crafting, such as the history of weapon crafting, basic materials and tools, which were most suitable for beginners in weapon crafting.

Today, Suhong Academy has three branches: the Cultivator Academy, the Demon Spirit Academy, and the Spirit Beast Academy. Of course, Suhong is also working hard to build branches for weapon crafting, alchemy, and formations.

However, there are several major challenges. First, there is the issue of qualified teachers, and second, there is the issue of teaching materials.

However, with the books Bai Lifeng brought along, plus the weapon-refining books Jiang Ran had collected before, it wouldn't be difficult to teach the people of Dasu how to refine weapons.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ran immediately made a decision: Da Su would officially launch the Weapon Forging Academy and the Alchemy Academy next year!

"Master Bai, would you be willing to compile weapon-refining textbooks for my Great Su and serve as the dean of the Su Hong Weapon-Refining Academy?"

Bai Lifeng was taken aback.

The position of Dean of the Weapon Refining Academy is quite prestigious, and Da Su is only just beginning to develop weapon refining skills. If Bai Lifeng becomes the Dean of the Su Hong Weapon Refining Academy, then probably 80% of the weapon refiners in Da Su will have to call him their teacher. Who wouldn't want such an honor and status?
Bai Lifeng did not refuse. Honor was one aspect, but another was that His Highness the Prince had made such a request, so how could anyone refuse?

After thinking for a moment, he gave a wry smile and said, “Your Highness, please don’t expect me to handle the compilation of teaching materials and the management of students all by myself. I am currently managing a weapon-refining workshop, and the county’s magic ships also need my help. Moreover, weapon refining is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall behind. I also want to take advantage of my youth and strive to become a Saint-level weapon refiner as soon as possible. As you can see, I am in a bind. You can’t do without finding some talented people to help me.”

Bai Lifeng said with a smile, "At least Master Wang and Master Huang should be given positions at Suhong Refining Academy and occasionally teach the students of Dasu Academy."

Jiang Ran naturally agreed; in fact, she had this idea all along. Moreover, once the Weapon Forging Academy was officially established, she would recall the senior apprentices from the Feng family.

The cooperation with the Feng family has lasted for three years, and Da Su has sent about a hundred apprentice weapon refiners to the Feng family.

Coincidentally, with the new year approaching, the weapon-refining apprentices of Da Su took advantage of their break to return to Da Su.

The Feng family is a famous family of weapon refiners, so they naturally have no shortage of apprentices. Entering the Feng family means you can learn anything.

As for apprentices, they can generally only do odd jobs such as cleaning and moving things. Don't expect the Feng family's weapon refiners to teach these apprentices hand in hand.

Only the apprentices of Da Su, with the connections of Jiang Ran and Feng Chi, received much better treatment than other weapon refiner apprentices. For example, they had the opportunity to try refining magical artifacts themselves, and the Feng family would also give Da Su's weapon refiner apprentices a chance to do so.

Three years have passed, and the Great Abode has indeed cultivated more than ten ordinary-level weapon refiners, two low-grade earth-level weapon refiners, and one mid-grade earth-level weapon refiner.

These three weapon refiners were quite capable, and were even taken in as disciples by the weapon refiners of the Feng family.

In response, Jiang Ran sent a telepathic message to Feng Chifa to thank him for taking care of the Da Su people.

"Hey, no need to thank me, I didn't do anything special." Feng Chi's voice came from the communication stone. "We're all friends, and the spirit gold powder and fire tears stone that you, Da Su, provided to our Feng family have brought us great benefits." (End of this chapter)
