The Legend of Fangren

Chapter 147 If I say I am, will you believe me?

Having learned from the mistakes of the past, the senior and junior sisters were all itching to see what their own magical artifacts looked like, so they started scrambling to get started again.

In less than half an hour, the senior and junior sisters all received their own Xuan weapon designs, and with some joy and some sorrow, they took their material lists and went out to find the materials for refining the weapons.

Although they found some along the way, there were still some missing, so they had to buy them. The Dragon River Sect takes care of its disciples who are undergoing training, especially the Heavenly Rank disciples, who can be reimbursed for 70% of the material costs. This allows many ordinary disciples to save up some money and afford to buy good materials.

Of course, if you insist on piling on high quality, you still can't afford it even with a lot of reimbursement.

To prevent the disciples from making reckless purchases, the two elders also went out to check on them, leaving Fang Shi alone in the weapon-refining room.

Looking back at the team's years of training, Fang Shi is probably the first guy to be so left to his own devices by the team leader.

So this guy and Lao Gang were separated by the crystal wall, staring at each other. Lao Gang was not one to keep a secret, so he asked while waiting, "Hey kid, I thought you were one of the girls' attendants in that group, but judging from the way the elder was talking to you, you're also a disciple of the Dragon River Sect?"

Fang Shi smiled and replied, beginning his usual boastful self-introduction: "Naturally, I am a disciple. I am a disciple of the Elder of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion on Azure Dragon Peak. Among all the disciples, I am the eldest brother."

"A crowd" refers to him alone.

"Oh~" Old Gang touched his slightly charred beard and said, "No wonder the ring on your hand looks like a magic weapon. I've also heard of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion. Their storage methods are the most advanced model of warehouse storage among humans. Our Fire Palace Master has visited the Dragon River Sect many times to learn the Heaven and Earth Pavilion's storage techniques. Unfortunately, no matter how we invited the elders of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, they wouldn't come down the mountain. As a result, our palace's storage facilities have only learned a rudimentary version, and we've been complaining about it for many years."

"Haha, my master is a free spirit. Some things happened in his family recently, and now he has come down from the mountain to become the lord of a city. I'm afraid he will be even less free now."

"Hey, that's not something a hammer-wielding guy like me should worry about." Old Gang was just exchanging pleasantries; what he really had in common was weapon crafting.

Then he asked, "Since you are the eldest disciple of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, why can't I sense any Xuan Qi on your body? Everyone else is in a hurry to forge Xuan weapons, but you're not. Don't you want to see what your Yin Xuan form looks like?"

"This is naturally because of my special physique. My profound energy is extremely quiet and restrained. Everyone says that I am not destined for magic, let alone profound artifacts that require the use of profound energy."

Speaking of this, Fang Shi still felt a little regretful.

In his previous life, influenced by a certain monkey, he always wanted a stick that could change size at will. But now that he's in the Xuan Realm and has gained this superhuman strength, how could he be content without a good weapon?

Although the recipes can create a wide variety of items and blocks, they require a lot of materials. Especially after experiencing how heavy the blocks in the game are when brought into reality, you can imagine how painful it would be to make an axe with high-level material blocks at higher levels.

Therefore, he thought that in battles where the difference in strength was not too great and there was no need to use special powers to target specific opponents, using some cheap weapons from the outside world might be a good idea. Moreover, if his enchanting methods were not limited to the tools in the recipes, then using more real weapons from the outside world would not be a bad thing.

Seeing his appearance, Lao Gang thought that his talent was not very good, and that he was probably taken in as a disciple by the elders of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion because of his management skills.

But he had seen too many insecure children like this, so he came out from behind the crystal wall, sat down next to Fang Shi, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? There are plenty of strange people in the world. So what if your mystical artifacts are dormant? Even the most ordinary mortals have their own vitality as living beings. As long as you have that vitality, there will definitely be a mystical artifact suitable for you."

"Oh?" Fang Shi's eyes lit up. "Master Gang, can I also have my own mystical weapon?"

"Of course, a mystical artifact is both a manifestation of Yin and Xuan aspects and a reflection of talent. As long as you have talent, there will definitely be a mystical artifact suitable for you!"

Seeing that he was about to save another lost sheep, Lao Gang felt a sense of accomplishment in advance. He was in high spirits and also got Fang Shi involved. He pointed to the crystal wall and said, "Come on, now inject your Xuan Qi into that wall. Don't feel ashamed if you are slow to mobilize your Xuan Qi. There is no one else here."

"Okay, Master Gang."

Fang Shi placed his hand on the crystal wall with great anticipation, thinking that the function of the crystal wall was to extract the Xuan Qi from his body—but that was not the case at all.

Lao Gang also stared intently, observing carefully. The yin-xuan appearance of children like this is usually very blurry, and it is difficult to see without careful observation, but in fact he didn't see anything.

After a while, Lao Gang, his eyes swollen from staring, walked over and grabbed Fang Shi's hand: "Didn't I tell you to inject Xuan Qi into it?"

Fang Shi said somewhat embarrassedly, "My profound energy is contained and dormant."

"Even if you remain silent for a while, a couple of swaying motions should create some waves."

The crystal wall is specially made so that even the smallest ripples or waves can be captured.

Fang Shi then spread his hands: "But the problem is there isn't even a wave."

"So, what is your talent? As a cultivator, you must have some outstanding abilities, otherwise what's the difference between you and a mortal?" Old Gang was puzzled. He had clearly given up all hope and assumed Fang Shi's profound energy was at its lowest level, but he never expected that this guy's level of dormancy was zero.

The key issue is that he doesn't believe that profound energy can be suppressed to this extent. If it really is that powerful, then wouldn't even the best forging furnace in the Li Huo Palace be weaker than this kid's body in terms of energy-blocking ability? Absurd.

Is it so easy to be a zero?

Fang Shi replied, "I am very strong."

Upon hearing this, Lao Gang couldn't bear to watch any longer. He turned his head to the side and said nonchalantly, "What's so great about being strong? Anyone who has cultivated is several times stronger than an ordinary person. Even those young girls from earlier, whose cultivation was almost at the third level but not quite there yet, could already beat six or seven burly men among ordinary people."

To put it bluntly, being strong is practically a basic passive skill for cultivators, and can hardly be considered a talent.

But after thinking it over, Fang Shi realized that besides this cheat-like ability, this was really all he had.

Old Gang had no choice but to say helplessly, "Fine, fine, since you say you're very strong, then tell me how strong you are? Or come with me to the weapon-refining room and bring me something to show me?"

"That's fine too."

The two then went to the weapon-refining room, where Lao Gang brought over a bucket filled with metal blocks.

"This is the heavy iron we use on our anvil to weigh things down. It's not very useful, it's just heavy. You can try it."
