Taoist companion helps me cultivate immortality

Gongshu Yan nodded: "Okay."

Pang Lu readily agreed: "Understood, I'll write down the address now."

"Just don't tell them, I was the one who leaked the information about her whereabouts."

Lin Ye took the address and prepared to go back to meet her.

Soon, Pang Lu took his leave, and the branch president of the Equipment Refiners Guild arrived late.

"Gongshu Yan, this is what happened. I have asked the people at Demon King Mountain to apply to leave the formation and go pick up the Nascent Soul Patriarch of our Equipment Refiner Guild."

"I'll probably be away for a few days."

"During this period, can you take care of the Equipment Refiners Guild?"

Lin Ye was a little surprised.

The branch president actually took the initiative to show goodwill!

Theoretically, in the absence of the branch president, the guild should be entrusted to the only other third-rank weapon refiner, Gong Shuyan, but there is no explicit rule on this.

but...

That makes sense.

This matter is easy to sort out.

First, in the Dark Ages, there was a widespread secret technique of burning one's lifespan, which resulted in monks having high attack power but low health.

Especially when facing sneak attacks.

It is conceivable that if there are several cultivators of similar realms, and they often meet each other because they are in the same force, in order to avoid being hated by the other party or even being ambushed and killed, the importance of maintaining good relations with cultivators of the same force is higher than in other eras.

In other words, the factionalism among monks in the Dark Ages was more serious than in other eras!

The master’s weakness in communication was also magnified.

As he spoke, the branch president seemed a little uneasy and had to glance at Lin Ye frequently.

It's okay to be uneasy.

After all, the guild will be entrusted to Gong Shuyan.

Even Lin Ye felt that his master was unreliable.

This matter still depends on me...

Gongshu Yan was delighted after hearing this: "Oh, you thought of me at this time?"

The branch president sneered: "Haha..."

Lin Ye gave a "don't worry" smile.

Seeing this, the branch president breathed a sigh of relief.

I actually think that a junior is much more reliable than his master...

Lin Ye said: "When will the president leave?"

“Depart tomorrow.

"To be honest, I want to take the test for a second-grade weapon refiner as soon as possible."

The president's eyes widened.

Confirmed Lin Ye’s cultivation level again.

Seventh level of Qi refining!

At this stage, he was going to become a second-grade weapon refiner? How was that possible!

Gongshu Yan crossed his arms and said, "Don't disbelieve me, my apprentice has already made a very large second-grade spiritual weapon."

The branch president was sweating profusely.

Don't brag, I don't believe it!

With a light cough, the branch president said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate the second-grade weapon refiner assessment!"

“The whole process takes three full days and is a test of both the body, mind and technique.”

"And at least five second-grade refiners or one third-grade refiner are needed to be responsible for the certification."

"After I took a few of the guild's second-grade weapon refiners away to welcome the Nascent Soul Patriarch, there are less than five of us left, so we don't have enough time!"

Gongshu Yan was surprised and asked, "Isn't there still me?"

The branch president's eyelids were twitching.

"How can a master test his apprentice?"

Lin Ye groaned and said, "If that's the case, I should become a second-grade weapon refiner before the Nascent Soul Patriarch arrives."

"President, can you help me arrange the examination now? It would be fine if you could supervise the examination yourself!"

"We said we'll leave tomorrow, and the assessment will take three days!"

"That's what I meant."

Lin Ye finished speaking.

The president widened his eyes and glanced at him with an incredible look.

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

Say calmly:

"One day is enough."

Master repeater: "That's enough!"

Chapter 47: Second-Rank Equipment Refiner

Spiritual weapon.

As a product that can be used for a long time, the production process is relatively slow.

So although the three-day assessment time seems sufficient, it is actually not that long.

Lin Ye's words seemed to have fully angered the branch president.

Soon, five examiners sat in a row, ready to take the test.

This situation is a bit like a civil service interview.

Pang Lu introduced respectfully, "Except for the president and Senior Gongshu whom you already know, these three are Senior Liu, Senior Zhang, and Senior Zeng. They are all second-grade weapon refiners directly under our guild."

Lin Ye greeted the three people politely.

Senior Zhang was quite optimistic about him: "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have studied your spiritual weapon, it is very interesting!"

Senior Liu had a helpless expression as if he was just doing his job.

Senior Zeng seemed very unhappy with Lin Ye: "The youngsters nowadays are so arrogant."

Gongshu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Dissatisfied?"

"How dare you look down on my apprentice with your level?"

Senior Zeng frowned and glanced at the branch president. Noticing that he was not speaking for him, he felt a little annoyed and looked away.

"What a pair of bastards, master and apprentice!"

"Isn't it just a little bit of talent..."

"I don't believe that a Qi Refining Level 7 can complete the assessment!"

Lin Ye sat at a table opposite the five examiners, on which were materials and tools.

In addition, although it was said that Gongshu Yan would not be allowed to participate in the assessment.

In the end, she still appeared among the examiners.

How should I put it, the branch president does understand the ways of the world.

Gongshu Yan came forward to check the materials and tools on Lin Ye's desk and nodded: "It's a little bit worse, but it can be used."

"Lin Ye, I've paid for your exam. Come on!"

"Okay, Master."

Gongshu Yan was a little nervous and whispered, "It can be completed within one day. These tools are so fragile... Are they stable?"

Gongshu Yan has recently become accustomed to the future version of refining tools.

Seeing these provided by the examination room, she always felt...

Very original!

Lin Ye had long been accustomed to the fact that tools were becoming increasingly crude.

"Master, don't be nervous when the time comes."

"Master is worried about you! You are only at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"

Seeing the master and the disciple whispering to each other, Senior Zhang smiled and said, "Senior Gongshu and his disciple have a really good relationship."

"Friend Lin, can we start now?"

"Because the branch president has another schedule tomorrow morning, you must complete the assessment before dawn tomorrow. If you fail, the registration fee of 20 medium-grade spirit stones will not be refunded. Do you know this?"

Lin Ye said: "I already know the rules."

"Master, please go back and sit down first."

When all the examiners were in place, the branch president said solemnly, "The examination begins."

Lin Ye simply swept it.

The materials in front of him were three second-grade primary materials: white cinnabar, cold-quenched stone, and flame condensed crystal.

It is required to use the tools and materials provided by the authorities to successfully create a second-grade spiritual weapon within three days.

Of course, Lin Ye’s assessment only lasted one day.

The tools provided were a bit primitive, with only a hammer and a few talismans, not even a stove.

In the absence of a furnace, although there are a few talismans as an aid, temperature control still largely depends on the spiritual energy of the monk.

It really tests the original level of the weapon refiner.

Lin Ye picked up the hammer and found that he needed both hands to hold it steadily.

So to say...

"It's a bit difficult!" Lin Ye began to control the temperature, and his body was filled with abundant exogenous spiritual energy. All this was thanks to the help of his master.

The hammer is a bit heavy, so lift it with both hands.

when! when!

The sound of forging continued.

Once Lin Ye concentrates on refining the weapon, he can't feel the passage of time.

The red-hot quenched stone is gradually being forged into a knife.

He was getting into the game more and more, and his wrist was already very sore.

The circuit on the surface of the spiritual weapon showed a faint golden light.

Lin Ye completed the production in one go, and he was already sweating profusely.

He dropped the hammer and activated the first-grade intermediate talisman [Frost Talisman] provided by the examination room to complete the cooling.

Lin Ye wiped his sweat and said, "Examiner, it's done."
