The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2856 For your lives, please do your best!
Time flies like water, but the forging of weapons knows no days or months.

Lin Chen was completely immersed in the world of weapon crafting, making rapid progress, which greatly surprised Su Hao and Dai Yunshen.

I never expected Lin Chen to have such a high talent for weapon crafting!
Because of time constraints, Lin Chen didn't waste too much time on actual weapon forging. After all, actual weapon forging takes a long time; how many weapons could one forge in three months?
Su Hao and Dai Yunshen taught Lin Chen the art of weapon forging, which involves controlling the fire to a certain degree of precision and then performing the operation to achieve a specific effect. However, the two of them found that Lin Chen controlled the forging fire with ease and grace, making it easy for him to learn.

When the two asked, Lin Chen told them that he was a fire-elemental supernatural being, and the two immediately realized.

Those skilled in fire magic have a huge innate advantage in weapon crafting. Lin Chen's cultivation technique is also of the highest quality, and his ability to control fire is unparalleled. Now, when he applies it to weapon crafting, as long as Lin Chen understands it, he can operate it very smoothly. In just a few trials, it was as if he had practiced it hundreds of times.

In three months, Lin Chen hastily learned the Heavenly Fire Refining Method and the Hundred Refining Techniques' Prosperous Blossoms. Afterwards, Su Hao taught him many other powerful refining methods.

Lin Chen didn't have time to verify everything in detail. He could only make sure he fully understood it first, then practice a little before fast-forwarding to the next step of learning.

At this pace of learning, it's impossible to say that he's truly mastered the material. However, given enough time to apply his thorough understanding to practice and verify it repeatedly, Lin Chen will eventually achieve a true grasp of it.

Just as Su Hao said, I will teach you the Blooming Flower Refining Method. After you have refined your more than a thousand tail spikes, you will be a qualified weapon refiner. Because in this process, you will encounter different problems, and as you solve them one by one, your skills will naturally become more refined.

For three months, Lin Chen and the others were unsure whether the man in black robes had been secretly spying on them, but he had never appeared, which provided Lin Chen with a quiet learning environment.

The three-month deadline had arrived, and just as everyone was feeling anxious, the man in black robes arrived as promised.

"Gentlemen, you've all had a great time these past three months, haven't you?"

Su Hao asked in a deep voice, "Enough with the nonsense, have you gotten the materials?"

The man in black robes chuckled in a low voice, "Got it. The Star River Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect truly live up to their reputation as the world's leading sects in weapon crafting. They prepared so many materials in no time. I'm very satisfied!"

Dai Yunshen asked, "Now that you've obtained the item, keep your promise and let us leave!"

The man in black robes said in a deep voice, "You've probably forgotten that I said I'd need you to craft one or two small items for me after I get the materials before the transaction is considered complete."

The man in black robes had indeed mentioned this before, and Su Hao, too lazy to waste words with him, directly asked, "What do you want to refine?"

"The core of the formation." The man in black robes tossed out a scroll: "The items to be refined are on the diagram. There are two. Each of you refine one. Once you've finished, I'll let you go. But if you fail to refine them, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen approached the scroll and examined it for a while. Su Hao looked up and asked, "Is this the core used to construct the teleportation array?"

The man in black robes calmly replied, "Yes, we were prepared, but unfortunately some accidents happened and the core was destroyed, so we have to reforge it."

"Both of you are master craftsmen. The materials have been prepared for you, and the blueprints for the structural formation have also been given to you. I believe you will not disappoint me."

Su Hao said in a deep voice, "This thing is not simple, and we dare not say that we will definitely succeed."

The man in black robes said calmly, "Whoever succeeds in refining it lives; whoever fails dies. For your own lives, please try your best!"

Su Hao really wanted to curse, but he also knew that cursing would be useless except to provoke the other party.

Su Hao considered for a moment: "It will take about ten days to refine one core."

The man in black robes nodded: "Alright, I'll give you ten days. The finished product you create will determine your life or death. Time is limited, so please treat it with care."

The man in black robes waved his hand again, and a spatial ring fell to the ground: "The refining materials are inside. I await your good news."

After speaking, the man in black robes stepped back and disappeared into the blue mist.

Su Hao sighed: "The three-month deadline has passed, and they've gotten what they wanted. It seems that no matter whether the sect knows we're in trouble or not, they won't be able to find us or rescue us..."

Dai Yunshen said coldly, "Let's refine it first. There's no other way."

Su Hao, however, was not in a hurry. He flipped through the blueprints in his hand and said, "This teleportation core is quite large. As long as the other components are properly matched, it can support a very large teleportation array. What exactly does he want to do?"
