Chapter 79: Second Uncle, Why Are You So Stupid?

Under Ye Xiuxiu's meticulous guidance,
Ye Qingming did not hesitate to start his second journey of refining the palm-sized round shield that was strong enough to withstand the full force of a powerful Yuanying stage master.

At first, all the steps went smoothly.

Everything seems to be moving smoothly along the expected track.

However, when it officially entered the refining stage,

That familiar feeling of hardship came over Ye Qingming again.

At this moment, Ye Xiuxiu spoke out in time:

"Increase the output of spiritual energy, but at the same time reduce the input of mental energy. Let it naturally form a rough shape, and then exert precise control."

Hearing this, Ye Qingming did as he was told.

This time, he clearly felt that the operation was much easier than before.

Seeing that the entire refining process has advanced to about 5%,
suddenly,
There was only a dull thud from inside the refining cauldron—"Bang!"

The materials that were originally operating in an orderly manner suddenly lost control.
It suddenly exploded and turned into a pile of useless waste.

Faced with this sudden change,

Ye Qingming looked at Ye Xiuxiu somewhat bewilderedly.

Before he could explain anything,
He was drowned out by Ye Xiuxiu's barrage of scoldings.

"Second uncle!"

Ye Xiuxiu said with a look of disappointment on her face,
"How could you be so clueless? How could you make such a simple mistake?"

"I've taught you everything, step by step. Don't you think you've grasped anything at all? You've spent so much time studying the art of refining weapons, but what have you learned?"

Being scolded by my niece like this,
An awkward smile suddenly appeared on Ye Qingming's face. He scratched his head and said awkwardly:
"Hey, don't be angry, Xiuxiu, let's try again. I promise it will be successful this time!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to restart the refining process.

Soon, Ye Qingming took a deep breath and
The second round of refining officially began.

He concentrated on controlling the flames and materials.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Yet, despite his best efforts,
The result was still unsatisfactory - soon, the second attempt also ended in failure.

Seeing this, Ye Xiuxiu on the side stamped her feet in anger and started cursing without hesitation:
"Second Uncle? Is your brain filled with mush?

How can you be so stupid! "

She cursed,

While poking Ye Qingming's head with his fingers,

"Where's your brain? Did a dog eat it?"

Facing his niece's scolding, Ye Qingming could only make a bitter face.
I didn't dare to refute a word.

After all, the facts are before our eyes.

He has indeed failed twice in a row.

However, he was not discouraged. After making some adjustments, he started refining the weapon for the third time.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the third attempt failed.

Before the fourth refining began,

Ye Xiuxiu suddenly thought of something.
I quickly called the Jinhua cat,
Let it tell mother that it is now with second uncle and ask mother not to worry.

Next, Ye Qingming continued his journey of refining weapons again and again.

The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time... Every failure hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
But at the same time, it also aroused a stronger fighting spirit deep in his heart.

During this process, Ye Xiuxiu's scolding never stopped.

Those sharp words lashed Ye Qingming like a whip.

But the strange thing was that Ye Qingming didn't show any anger or intention to retort this time.

Because with repeated attempts,
He clearly felt that his weapon refining skills were improving at an astonishing rate.

Although I haven't been able to successfully refine a complete magical weapon yet,

But the progress was obvious. Finally, after nine painful failures,

The tenth weapon refining has begun.

This time, Ye Qingming's technique was much more skillful than before, and he controlled the temperature of the flame just right.
Various materials gradually took shape under his skillful fusion.

When the last process is completed,

A palm-sized round shield appeared in front of everyone.

Even though it's just a defective product,

But for Ye Qingming, this was already a huge breakthrough.

His face flushed with excitement, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
I couldn't help but shout loudly:
"I finally succeeded in refining it!"

Then there was a roar that resounded through the sky:
"Ahhh!"

Ye Xiuxiu interrupted Ye Qingming's excitement.

"No, Second Uncle,"

"Why are you shouting? What's there to be happy about?"

"This is a defective product, and it can only withstand the damage of a full-strength attack from a Jindan Dacheng."

"Don't you feel bad that such a good piece of material is wasted like this?"

Ye Qingming smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
In fact, his original purpose was just to refine this piece of material.
Create a defensive magic weapon that can withstand a full-strength attack from a late Jindan stage cultivator.

did not expect,
Just such a defective product has already surpassed his goal.

"well,"

Ye Xiuxiu looked as if she was disappointed with someone.

Ye Qingming really didn't know what to say.
He quickly changed the subject,

"Xiu Xiu, what did you say you were going to do just now?"

"You must be my disciple, right?"

"Since you are so talented, I will..."

The remaining four words came to my lips.

Ye Qingming could no longer speak.
I don’t know what to say.

Ye Xiuxiu frowned and opened her red lips slightly.

Without hesitation, he interrupted Ye Qingming's excited and almost uncontrollable words:

"No, Second Uncle! Don't get so excited!"

Her voice was clear and loud, but now it held a hint of reproach.

"What are you shouting about? What's there to be so happy about?"

Ye Xiuxiu shook her head, her eyes falling on the item that Ye Qingming treasured like a treasure, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She stretched out her delicate hand and gently pointed at the object.

He continued, "Second Uncle, look at this, it's clearly a defective product!"

"At most, it can only withstand the damage caused by a full-strength attack from a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator."

Having said that, Ye Xiuxiu paused, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this work.

Then, she sighed softly and said, "You've wasted such a precious and rare piece of fine material. Don't you feel bad at all?"

Facing the questioning of my niece,
Ye Qingming couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, a wry smile on his face.
For a moment I didn't know how to answer.

In fact, his original intention was just to refine this rare material.

And just create a powerful defensive magic weapon that can withstand the full force attack of a late Jindan stage cultivator.

However, what he never expected was that
Even if what you get in the end is just a so-called "defective product",
The actual effect has far exceeded the original goal.
