I have a forging furnace.

Chapter 1 Refining Furnace
Xuanyang Sect.

Copperwood Forest.

A handsome young man dressed in linen clothes looked at the simple wooden houses in front of him and the large amount of wood piled around him, and sighed slightly.

Lin Yu is a menial disciple of Xuanyang Sect.

When he was assigned a task just after entering the sect, he had very poor talent and was assigned by the supervisor of menial tasks to the most difficult and tiring Bitong Forest.

“Life is hard.”

Lin Yu sighed again. He was a time traveler. In his previous life, he studied hard and was admitted to the top medical university in the province. Then he studied hard for his master's degree, and with great efforts, he was admitted to the best tertiary hospital in the province.

He thought he could start his glorious life from then on, but he died at the hands of a group of drunk hooligans who were sent to the emergency room.

More than ten years of hard study were all wasted in one stroke.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. After his death, he unexpectedly traveled to a world of immortal cultivation where great power belonged to himself.

Moreover, the original body actually found ways to join a major sect of immortal cultivation.

However, due to talent reasons, the path to becoming an immortal is somewhat difficult to begin on.

Lin Yu's face was filled with melancholy, while the man and woman who were assigned to the Bronze Forest with him were filled with deep despair.

He had poor talent to begin with, and was assigned to a hellhole like the Bronze Forest, which almost cut off his future development.

How can these young people bear this?

When several people were feeling melancholy or desperate, the door of the wooden house opened and a middle-aged man with gray hair walked out.

The middle-aged man was not tall, had a dark complexion, and was wearing the same linen servitude uniform as Lin Yuan.

Seeing the three people waiting at the door, he nodded:

"You must be the new disciples, right? My name is Zhang Xingyuan, you can call me Brother Zhang."

"I became a errand disciple a few years earlier than you. The deacons are in training, so I will take you to get familiar with this place. We will live together for who knows how many years. Please tell me your names first."

"Cao Ming"

"Yun Xueer"

"Lin Yu"

All three of them gave their names honestly.

"okay."

Zhang Xingyuan continued: "Let me explain the daily tasks to you first."

As this matter concerns their future life, the three of them straightened their expressions and listened carefully.

"As a chores disciple, we need to complete the chores assigned by the sect every day. Our daily mission in the Jade Copper Forest is to cut down three Jade Copper trees."

“Only three?”

Cao Ming, being young at heart, couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't sound that difficult."

The copper trees piled up in the yard were only as thick as a fist and looked like they could be cut off with a little force.

Although Lin Yu and Yun Xueer did not say it explicitly, they showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

Zhang Xingyuan shook his head and said calmly: "It's not as simple as you think."

"The hardness of this green copper tree is even stronger than ten-forged fine iron, far beyond the reach of ordinary trees. If you are not physically strong, the recoil force from chopping the tree down will make your bones and muscles weak."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bronze tree in the corner of the courtyard and said:
"These are the copper trees that were cut down today. You can try them."

Hearing Zhang Xingyuan say this, the three of them walked closer and began to weigh the items.

The green bronze tree on the ground looked small, but its weight was amazing. Cao Ming wanted to lift it up, his face flushed, but he still couldn't lift the green bronze tree even a little bit.

Yun Xueer touched the metallic color of the surface of the green bronze tree, then looked at Cao Ming's performance, her face full of solemnity.

Zhang Xingyuan watched the two's performance and laughed secretly in his heart.

The days of cutting trees are too boring. Seeing the new people’s transformation from disdain to shock every year has become one of the few pleasures for many old people.

But why does the expression of this last one look so weird?

Zhang Xingyuan looked in the direction of Lin Yu.

This young man, who looked quite handsome, was staring blankly at the green bronze tree, with an expression on his face that was difficult to understand.

It seems like a mixture of disbelief, surprise, shock, and a little excitement?
Excited?
Zhang Xingyuan's face was full of question marks, and when he looked more carefully, the boy's face was filled with shock. That's right!

It must have been an illusion just now.

Zhang Xingyuan turned his head with satisfaction.

The evil taste in my heart was greatly satisfied.

It's like a person at the bottom of a deep pit seeing a new person just jumping into the pit.

On the other side, Lin Yu's heart was filled with joy.

The moment he touched the bronze tree, a clue suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

[Material: Copper Tree]

[Level: First Level]

[Quality: Very low]

[Evaluation: mediocre]

[Refining Gain: Copper Bone Fragments]

[Do you want to start refining? ]

As the prompt sound appeared, Lin Yu discovered that there was an elegant and ancient black furnace in his mind.

Lin Yu was very familiar with this furnace, but it was not in this life, but in his previous life.

The furnace at that time was only the size of a thumb, small and cute. Lin Yu fell in love with it the first time he saw it on the street stall.

He bought it without hesitation and put it on his keychain as a decoration.

I didn't expect that I would follow him to this world.

And it became like this.

Lin Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and did not choose to refine it. This ability must be tested in a deserted place.

Seeing that the three people all showed different expressions of shock, Zhang Xingyuan's evil taste was greatly satisfied.

"Brother Zhang, we can't even lift this bronze tree. Can we really complete the task of cutting down the tree?"

Gao Ming couldn't help but ask questions.

"rest assured."

Zhang Xingyuan waved his hand and said, "Newcomers have a one-month adaptation period. During this month, I will teach you a set of body-building methods. After a month of practice, most people will be able to meet the minimum requirements to complete the task."

“What if it can’t be achieved?”

Yun Xueer couldn't help but ask. She was weak and had little confidence in body training.

“What if it’s not possible?”

Zhang Xingyuan looked at Yun Xueer expressionlessly and said, "If you cannot even meet this simplest requirement, you will naturally be sent out of the sect and return to the mortal world to continue being a mortal."

Yun Xueer's face turned pale and she didn't say anything else.

Next, Zhang Xingyuan took the three of them on a tour of the Green Copper Forest and explained many aspects such as accommodation, food, and precautions.

The first day ends like this.

Lin Yu entered his wooden house. The house was very simple, but the supporting facilities were very complete.

Lin Yu didn't care about these. He went out in the dark, and after making sure that no one discovered him, he headed straight for the bronze forest.

The Green Copper Forest was silent at night, and all the chores disciples were either resting or practicing in the houses.

The Green Copper Forest was very large, stretching across several mountain peaks. Lin Yu did not dare to go deep into it and only chose a secluded place.

I looked around and made sure there was no one around.

Lin Yu placed his hand on the green bronze tree in front of him, and the same prompt as during the day appeared before his eyes.

This time he did not hesitate, but firmly recited in his heart:

"Refining!"

The bronze tree in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a deep hole in its place.
