Gods: Start with Goblins

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Thank you, I know what to do. I will work harder to learn forging skills and strive to forge my own top-notch weapons as soon as possible!"

After all, as spirit pets, they wouldn't be able to use any weapons for a while. Xiaobai and Xiaohua smiled at each other, with a mischievous light in their eyes. They themselves were weapons. When they jumped, their flexible bodies and sharp claws could be used as the most effective weapons, so why would they need long swords or short knives?

Xiaohua shook her head and said seriously, "Yes, we spirit pets are not like you humans who need all kinds of weapons to assist in combat. Our bodies are the best weapons, and we can carry them with us, which is very convenient!"

Luo Dan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard what they said, and shook his head helplessly. He reached out and touched their little heads, his eyes full of pampering: "Okay, what's the point of asking you two? It's useless to ask. In your little heads, you only know how to eat and play."

Xiaobai felt a little itchy when Luodan touched him. He shrank his neck and said with a pout, "Hmph, Master, you just look down on us spirit pets. Although we are not good at forging weapons, we are very good in other aspects!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaobai is right!" Xiaohua also quickly agreed. She waved her wings with a proud look on her face. "Our spirit pets have very keen perceptions. If there is any danger approaching, we will definitely be the first to discover it!"

Luo Dan looked at their smug looks and couldn't help but laugh. He patted their shoulders gently and said, "Okay, don't be so smug. I do have something to do. You guys should go back to your space ring and stay there."

"Go again? Master, why do you want to go to the Lei family for no reason?" Xiaobai perked up when she heard that Luo Dan was going to the Lei family, but her face was obviously uninterested. She pouted and said, "What's so good about those people in the Lei family? Every time I go there, they have a stern face, as if everyone owes them money."

Luo Dan smiled and did not directly answer Xiao Bai's question. He had his own plan in mind. Going to the Lei family was not only to see the weapons they forged, but also to learn their skills and experience. He knew that if he wanted to go further on the road of weapon forging, he had to keep learning from others and make up for his shortcomings.

"Xiaobai, don't say that. The Lei family is the best in the weapon refining industry. Their skills and experience are worth learning from." Luo Dan said earnestly, "I went to the Lei family this time just to see what new works they have recently, and to learn their forging techniques by the way."

After hearing what Luo Dan said, Xiao Hua's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Master, then take us with you. We also want to see what's so great about the Lei family that you're so interested in it."

Luo Dan shook his head and said with a smile: "You should just stay in the space ring. I have some important business to attend to at the Lei family this time, and it's not convenient to bring you along. I'll take you along when I have the chance in the future."

Xiaobai and Xiaohua listened to Luodan's words, although they were a little reluctant, but they also knew that Luodan was telling the truth. They looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and then turned into two rays of light and entered Luodan's space ring.

"Didn't I tell you? The weapons are different. If they are different, I must ask for clarification. I don't like to go to sleep with questions, nor do I like the feeling of being unable to solve the problem." Luo Dan muttered to himself as he walked, his steps firm and rapid, heading straight to the Lei family. His eyes flashed with persistence and curiosity, as if he would not give up until he found the answer.

Xiaobai and Xiaohua floated behind him, looking at his serious look, and could only shake their heads helplessly. Xiaobai pouted and muttered softly: "Master is really so obsessed with weapons, we spirit pets don't understand this."

Xiaohua also agreed, "That's right, forging weapons is too far away for us. We still prefer to study how to eat well and how to have fun." After saying that, they smiled at each other, and soon returned to the space again, doing their own things.

On this side, Luo Dan had already arrived at the gate of the Lei family. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. The door was soon opened, and a servant of the Lei family appeared in front of him. Seeing Luo Dan, he showed a warm smile on his face.

"Mr. Luo, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder what brings you here today?" the servant asked respectfully, while stepping aside to let Luo Dan in.

Luo Dan smiled and nodded, saying, "I came here today to ask you something. I have seen weapons forged by the Lei family before, and they are different from the ones I forged myself. I am very confused, so I came here to ask the seniors of the Lei family for advice."

When the servant heard this, he immediately understood Luo Dan's intention. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Mr. Luo is really a studious person. Our Lei family always welcomes people with lofty ideals to come and exchange ideas. Please follow me, I will take you to see our master."

As he said this, he turned around and led Luo Dan through several corridors and courtyards, and finally came to a spacious living room. In the living room, Lei Zhentian, the head of the Lei family, was sitting at the top. When he saw Luo Dan coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Mr. Luo, long time no see! I wonder what brings you here today?" Lei Zhentian asked with a smile. His voice was loud and powerful, giving people a heroic feeling.

Luo Dan quickly bowed and said, "Senior Lei, I came here today to ask for something. I tried to forge weapons before, but found that they were different from the weapons forged by the Lei family. I was very confused, so I came to ask you for advice."

Lei Zhentian immediately became interested when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Oh? Master Luo also studies the art of refining weapons? That's rare! Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."

As he spoke, he pulled Luo Dan to sit on a chair in the living room, and then signaled the servant to serve tea. While sipping tea, the two began to discuss the way of refining equipment. Luo Dan raised his doubts one by one, and Lei Zhentian patiently answered them. The two chatted very speculatively. Luo Dan smiled at them, and there was a bit of sincerity and humility in that smile, which made people feel good about him. He spoke slowly, his voice gentle and powerful: "It's been a long time since we last met. In fact, when I think about it carefully, it seems that it has not been long, only one or two days. I came here today because I want to ask the training masters about something. I have some insights on training these days, but it's a pity that I am alone in thinking about it, and no matter how much I gain insights, I can't come up with any new tricks."

As he spoke, he paused, his eyes swept over the Lei family members in front of him, and inadvertently praised them: "Your Lei family is well-known for the way of training, and everyone knows it. I thought about it and encountered a problem, so naturally I can only come to you for advice. After all, you are all experts in training, and my little problem may be easy for you."

After saying that, he spread his hands and made a helpless look, but there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I can't help it. Who made me unable to figure it out myself? I can only shamelessly come to ask for advice."

These words touched the hearts of many members of the Lei family, and made everyone feel much more relaxed. They exchanged glances, and their faces became much softer and more proud, as if they were very happy with Luo Dan's words.

Lei Zhentian, as the head of the family, was the first to speak with a smile: "Look at what you said, Mr. Luo, you are so polite. You are the honored guest of our entire Lei family, and also the benefactor of our Lei family. You helped us so much back then, and we will always remember it in our hearts. If you have anything to say, just come to us directly, don't worry so much. We will naturally tell you everything we know."

Other members of the Lei family also echoed the sentiment, expressing their willingness to answer Luo Dan's questions and help him improve his training skills. Luo Dan looked at their enthusiastic expressions and felt warm in his heart. He knew that he had come to the right place and found the right person this time.

"That's great. I knew that coming to your Lei family was the right choice." Luo Dan said with a smile, "In fact, I encountered some bottlenecks during my training and always felt that I couldn't break through. I hope to get some inspiration and suggestions from you to see if you can help me break through this bottleneck."

Lei Zhentian immediately became interested after hearing this: "Oh? What bottleneck did Young Master Luo encounter? Why don't you tell us so that we can discuss it together."

Then Luo Dan began to describe in detail the problems and confusions he encountered during the exercise. The Lei family members listened attentively, nodding from time to time to show their understanding or put forward their own opinions. The whole living room was filled with a warm and friendly atmosphere of discussion.

The Lei family naturally had to be polite and courteous. Their faces were filled with warm smiles, and they all said that it was an honor for their Lei family that Luo Dan could come to the Lei family for help. Of course, they couldn't really tell everything they knew as they said, after all, every family had its own secret skills, which could not be easily passed on to others. But those who could help would naturally help one or two, after all, Luo Dan had some friendship with their Lei family.

A smile flashed across Luo Dan's eyes, a smile that was sincere. He looked at the Lei family with gratitude and said, "Then I would like to thank you all here first. I know that the way of refining weapons is extremely profound and cannot be explained in a few words, but I can feel your sincerity, and I believe that with your help, I will definitely make progress."

Upon hearing this, the Lei family members were so happy that their teeth were showing. They quickly invited Luo Dan in, asked him to sit in the seat of honor in the living room, and then asked him what he was doing. Luo Dan was not polite and directly released the silver sword from his space and gently placed it on the table for everyone to see.

"I won't say anything else. You can take a look at this long sword." Luo Dan pointed at the long sword on the table, his tone full of pride and expectation. "Since I watched the forging master forging the weapon last time, I also had some feelings. After returning, I forged this long sword with my own materials. However, I always feel that it is not the same as the forging master's. Whether it is from the gloss, sharpness or the flow of spiritual energy, it seems to be a little lacking. Therefore, I came here specially to ask for advice, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

Upon hearing this, the Lei family members gathered around and carefully observed the silver sword. Some of them frowned in thought, some nodded in praise, and some whispered. For a while, the living room was very lively. After a while, Lei Zhentian, as the head of the family, was the first to speak: "Mr. Luo, your sword is already quite well forged. Both the material and the craftsmanship show your strength and potential. However, compared with the real forging masters, there is still some gap."

Hearing this, Luo Dan quickly nodded in agreement. He humbly asked, "Then I wonder if Senior Lei could give me some pointers to help me understand where the gap is and how to make up for it?"

Lei Zhentian smiled and said, "The difference lies mainly in the control of the temperature, the understanding of the materials, and the use of spiritual energy. The reason why the forging masters can forge top-notch weapons is because they have a deep foundation and unique insights in this area. However, you don't have to worry, as long as you are willing to work hard and study hard, I believe that in the near future, you can also become a forging master."

Luo Dan suddenly understood what Lei Zhentian said. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Lei, for your guidance. I will keep it in mind and study hard. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I hope you will enlighten me."

But after hearing this, everyone's shocked eyes all fell on the silver sword, as if they were looking at an incredible treasure. Lei Zhentian spoke first, with a hint of disbelief in his voice: "Wait a minute, Master Luo, you mean, you just watched us forge a weapon and then forged a weapon yourself?"

Luo Dan nodded with a shy smile on his face. He didn't expect his words to cause such a big reaction.

At this time, an elder of the Lei family also came over, carefully examined the long sword, then looked up at Luo Dan, his eyes full of surprise: "No way, Mr. Luo, you are kidding me, are you serious? Did you forge this yourself? Have you ever been in contact with refining weapons before?"

Luo Dan was a little confused by this series of questions, but he still patiently answered them one by one: "Yes, I did it myself, without asking anyone else to do it. Before, to be honest, I was always working hard to improve my cultivation, and I had little experience in refining equipment. I bought the dragon blood at that time because I wanted to go back and try it to see if I could increase the success rate of refining equipment. This can be regarded as my first time to officially refine equipment, so why not?"

After hearing Luo Dan's words, the Lei family shook their heads in amazement. Lei Zhentian was even more impressed: "Mr. Luo, you are really gifted! You can forge such a fine product in your first refining. This is unprecedented in our Lei family. You know that the way of refining is extremely profound and requires years of accumulation and practice to achieve success. (End of this chapter)
