Gods: Start with Goblins

Luo Dan thought to himself, "Is this the power of family unity?" He felt the tacit understanding and unity among the Lei family, and he couldn't help feeling a little dazed. He seemed to see the family scene he had always dreamed of - a united, harmonious, and powerful family.

For a moment, Luo Dan seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and forgot everything around him. But soon, he returned to normal. He stroked his chin, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that although he was not a member of the Lei family, he could learn a lot from them. This kind of family unity was exactly what he was pursuing.

"Little friend Luo Dan, what are you thinking about?" Seeing this, an elder of the Lei family asked with a smile. His tone was full of kindness and concern.

"Oh, nothing." Luo Dan replied with a smile, "I am just feeling the power of the family. The unity and harmony of the Lei family really makes me envious."

"Haha, you are too kind, young friend Luo Dan." The elder of the Lei family said with a smile, "Although our Lei family is not a big family, we also have our own pride and persistence. We believe that only by uniting as one can we go further."

At this moment, Luo Dan was standing in the living room of the Lei family's mansion, his heart full of anticipation. He knew that he was about to witness an unprecedented weapon refining event, the Lei family's most precious weapon was about to begin forging, and he, as the only outsider, was allowed to observe the entire process.

Just as he was daydreaming, someone came to him in a hurry. The man was dressed in the uniform of a Lei family servant, and was respectful with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Mr. Luo, I was sent by the superiors. Grandpa said that the weapons are being forged now, and asked me to invite Mr. Luo to come over and watch."

Luo Dan's eyes flashed with joy after hearing this. He nodded, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and handed it to the man as a reward. The man took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and couldn't let it go. A big smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Oh, Master Luo is so polite, and your gift is so expensive. Please, come this way."

As the servant spoke, he personally led the way for Luo Dan. They passed through the winding corridors, bypassed several exquisite courtyards, and finally came to a place with strict guards. This place was completely different from other areas of the Lei family. The air was filled with a hot breath, as if you could smell the smell of smelting metal.

The servant stopped and pointed to a closed door in front of him, still with a smile on his face: "Master Luo, this is the training place of our Lei family. However, outsiders are not allowed to approach, so I can only lead the way here. The rest is up to Master Luo himself."

Luo Dan took a look at this majestic and solemn place, and couldn't help but feel awe in his heart. He knew that this was the core of the Lei family, and what was being carried out inside was the secret weapon refining technique passed down from generation to generation by the Lei family. He nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude to the servant: "Thank you."

After saying that, he took a step forward, ready to walk into the tightly closed door. At this moment, the servant suddenly called him again: "Master Luo, wait a minute. I have something else to tell you."

Luo Dan turned around and looked at the servant in confusion. The servant said seriously, "Mr. Luo, the refining process is extremely complicated and involves many secrets of the Lei family. I hope you can keep your promise and not leak what you have seen and heard."

Hearing this, Luo Dan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who breaks my promise. Since I promised Master Lei, I will keep my mouth shut."

The servant smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. He nodded, signaling Luo Dan to go in. Luo Dan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then resolutely stepped into the closed door.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a hot breath coming towards him. In the spacious training room, the fire was burning. Several Lei family refiners were gathered around a huge furnace, concentrating on controlling the temperature and materials. Their faces were covered with sweat and smoke, but their eyes were shining with determination.

Luo Dan stood aside, quietly watching the whole process. He knew very well that this was not just a simple refining process, but also a display of the wisdom and skills passed down from generation to generation by the Lei family. He was filled with awe and emotion, and secretly made up his mind to learn this skill and add a powerful boost to his own path of cultivation.

Because the master had given instructions long ago, the Lei family members guarding the gate also knew Luo Dan and knew that he came today to observe the weapon refining at the invitation of Mr. Lei. So when they saw Luo Dan approaching, although they still had a cold face, they nodded and did not have the slightest intention of stopping him.

Luo Dan smiled and nodded to them to express his gratitude, then walked straight towards the closed door. He was full of anticipation, knowing that he was about to witness an unprecedented weapon refining event.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open by a gatekeeper, and Luo Dan, as a distinguished guest, walked in smoothly. He walked through the porch and stepped into a spacious and bright hall. The fire in the hall was blazing, and the heat wave was blowing in his face. Several weapon refiners were gathered around a huge furnace, concentrating on controlling the temperature and materials.

Seeing this, the servant who led the way looked at Luo Dan's back from a distance, and couldn't help shaking his head, with a trace of envy and emotion in his eyes. "Alas, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating," he said to himself softly, "Some people are guests of honor, but I can only be an errand boy."

After saying that, he shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the reluctance and helplessness in his heart. But he just sighed, because he knew very well that in this world of cultivation, what determines one's status is not one's birth or background, but one's ability and strength.

"It's a pity that my cultivation is not good enough, and my talent is not high enough," the servant sighed, secretly regretting in his heart, "otherwise, I wouldn't have to work as a handyman and errand boy in the Lei family."

However, on second thought, the servant felt that being a handyman and running errands in the Lei family was not bad. At least here, he could witness some strange things in the cultivation world with his own eyes, and also get in touch with some treasures and skills that he could hardly imagine at ordinary times. Compared to wandering outside, or doing nothing in some small sects, life here was already very good.

Thinking of this, the servant felt relieved. He shook his head and stopped thinking about those unrealistic things. Instead, he turned around and left to continue his mission.

After Luo Dan entered, he soon met the Lei family member who was in charge of the weapon refining. The man probably heard of Luo Dan's reputation, or knew that he was a distinguished guest of Mr. Lei, so he nodded to him as a polite greeting. But that was all. As a weapon refiner, he had his own pride and self-esteem. He knew that his craftsmanship and skills were unique in the world, and they were also his most proud capital. Therefore, he would not be particularly respectful or flattering to Luo Dan because of his identity or status.

Luo Dan also understood this, and he was not dissatisfied or angry because of the other party's indifference. On the contrary, he admired this kind of backbone and principled weapon refiner even more. He knew that only such people could forge real treasures and magic weapons.

The Lei family member who was in charge of bringing him here was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly at Luo Dan, as if he wanted to explain the cold attitude of the weapon refiner before. "Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Luo. He has always been like this. He is indifferent to everyone. It's not against you."

Luo Dan waved his hand, with a warm smile on his face, not caring at all. "It's okay, I'm not a special noble, I just came here to observe at the invitation of Mr. Lei. I should be modest and cautious, not proud and reckless. Besides, a refiner has his own pride, I understand."

His words made people look at him with a new eye. The Lei family members nearby cast approving glances at him, thinking to themselves that this Mr. Luo not only had a high level of cultivation, but also had an open-minded personality. He was truly a rare talent.

For example, the man in charge of forging looked at him more, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He originally thought that a distinguished guest like Luo Dan would definitely be dissatisfied with his previous indifference, but he did not expect Luo Dan to be so generous, which made him slightly change his view of Luo Dan.

At least, now he was not as arrogant as before, looking down on others. He nodded slightly to Luo Dan, which was a recognition of Luo Dan's attitude.

Soon, the man began to forge the weapon. He was skilled and agile, and each hammer fell on the molten metal just right, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Luo Dan stood aside, watching his every move intently, afraid of missing any details.

He watched the details of the man's work, not missing a single detail. The hammer in the hand of the weapon refiner was like a dragon swimming out of the sea, sometimes as light as a swallow, sometimes as heavy as Mount Tai, hammering the metal to make it tougher. Luo Dan watched intently, and couldn't help but secretly admire the superb skills of the weapon refiner.

As he watched, some ideas began to come to Luo Dan's mind. He thought, how interesting it would be if he could forge a weapon by himself. He imagined himself holding a hammer, standing next to the furnace, hammering out his own magic weapon, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.

However, he also knew that refining weapons was not an easy task and required great talent and patience. He secretly made up his mind to learn from this weapon refiner and strive to master the essence of refining weapons as soon as possible and create his own treasure.

Luo Dan stood in a corner of the forging room, staring at the silver-grey sword in the hands of the weapon refiner, and an indescribable impulse surged in his heart. He thought of the training equipment in his space ring that he had obtained in the secret realm but had never used, and an idea quietly emerged: why not use these equipment to forge a silver-grey spear of his own?
Luo Dan had this idea long before he saw the weapon refiner training. He watched the weapon refiner's skilled techniques and listened to the pleasant sound of the metal being hammered, and his love for forging was completely ignited. Now, seeing a weapon being born intact in the hands of the weapon refiner, this idea reached its peak, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.

"Forging is such an addictive activity!" Luo Dan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a fiery light. Countless thoughts about forging surged in his mind, each of which made his blood boil, and he couldn't wait to try it out.

Now, seeing this silver-grey sword, he was even more determined to forge a spear. He thought, since the materials were just sitting there, he might as well forge one for himself. Maybe he could even forge a treasure. If he succeeded, he would have another handy weapon, so why not?

Luo Dan was a man who did what he said, and he was stubborn and tenacious. After returning, he immediately took out the training equipment from the space ring and began to try to forge the silver-gray spear. He fiddled with the equipment carefully, fearing that he would damage any of it.

Xiaobai and Xiaohua were a little surprised when they saw this scene in space. They floated to Luodan's side and looked curiously at the equipment in his hand and the piece of metal that was about to be forged.

"Master, are you starting like this?" Xiaobai couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt and expectation in his voice.

"Yes, I can't wait." Luo Dan replied with a smile, his eyes full of determination and enthusiasm, "I have always wanted to forge a weapon of my own, and now I finally have the chance."

"But, Master, forging a weapon is not that easy." Xiaohua reminded, with a hint of worry in her voice, "You need to have enough patience and skills to forge a good weapon."

"I know." Luo Dan nodded, his eyes became more determined, "But I believe that as long as I try hard, I will succeed. Besides, don't you guys come with me? I believe you will help me."

Xiaobai and Xiaohua couldn't help laughing after hearing what Luodan said. They knew that Luodan was a man with firm belief and determination. As long as he wanted to do something, he would try his best to do it. So, they decided to accompany Luodan and witness the process of him forging the silver-gray spear.

"Of course. How long do you think we have to wait?" Luodan's tone was full of impatience. His eyes were fixed on the forging table in front of him, and his hands were already holding the hammering tools, as if he was going to start working at the next moment.

Xiao Bai floated to his side and said with some concern: "That's not the case. It's just that Master, you have only watched others forge for a while. If you start so quickly now, wouldn't it be too hasty? Forging weapons is not an easy task. It requires a lot of skills and experience. Why don't you wait a little longer and ask the weapon refiner for advice. It won't be too late to use the materials after you have learned it." (End of this chapter)
