Chapter 37 First Hearing of the Weapon Master Guild
Chapter 37 First Hearing of the Weapon Master Guild
“Young Master, there are many sects in the Northern Region, and their interests are extremely complex. They cannot be united as one. If you want to deal with this sect, I think you can first investigate its enemies. Then, using your identity as an alchemist, you can unite with other sects to put pressure on this sect and rescue Madam.”
To Chu Feng's surprise, Zeng Yunxia, though his expression was somewhat solemn, showed no fear upon hearing that his enemy was a seventh-grade sect!
In fact, Zeng Yunxia had long been a lazy bum who was just waiting to die. Why would such a person be afraid of death? Chu Feng suddenly gave him hope and even helped him break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. In Zeng Yunxia's mind, Chu Feng was now a god-like figure.
Zeng Yunxia was not a person without vision. In his youth, he had seen all kinds of forces and was very familiar with the Pill Tower. However, he had never heard that the alchemists of the Pill Tower could refine pills with pill patterns on them!
Therefore, Zeng Yunxia was only slightly surprised to learn that Chu Feng had a grudge against a seventh-grade sect, but he was not afraid.
If you're not afraid of death, why would you be afraid of a seventh-rank sect?
Chu Feng nodded and said, "You're right. I should indeed take the exam to become an alchemist. Not only that, I should also take the exam to become a weapon refiner, an array master, and a talisman maker."
If you have resources, you should reveal them. As long as you are not a particularly high-level being, you don't need to fear being captured.
"What? Young Master, you can also make talismans? You're also an array master?" Zeng Yunxia was completely taken aback. Where did Chu Feng find so much time to study? Could it be that Chu Feng has been studying these things all these years?
That doesn't make sense either. I've been studying for decades and I'm still only a second-grade weapon refiner. Chu Feng is not even twenty years old yet. How did he learn so many skills?
"Yunxia, can the Weapon Treasure Pavilion assess weapon refiners?" Chu Feng asked.
Chu Feng has broken through to the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength has reached at least the Yuan Dan stage. Therefore, he is now likely able to refine low-grade magic weapons.
With a third-grade talisman, a level-three formation, and third-grade pills, Chu Feng only needs a few days to get used to them.
There are nine grades of weapons in total. A low-grade magic weapon is considered to be of the fourth grade.
Ordinary artifacts are classified into three grades, precious artifacts into three grades, and spiritual artifacts into three grades.
“Young master, you can take the test here. You can take the test now. However, we can only issue second-grade weapon refiner plaques here. Only the prefectural city is qualified to issue third-grade plaques, and the county city must issue fourth-grade plaques,” Zeng Yunxia replied quickly.
Chu Feng was slightly disappointed: "A mere second-grade nameplate, it's not very useful, is it?"
Zeng Yunxia laughed and said, "Young master, that's not true. As long as you pass the identity test at the Weapon Treasure Pavilion, you can have the status of a guest elder there. Similarly, if you pass the identity test at the Pill Pavilion, you will also have the status of a guest elder there. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to target the Pill Pavilion and the Weapon Treasure Pavilion."
“Young master, if you possess the identity badges of alchemist, weapon refiner, array master, and talisman maker, ordinary people would absolutely not dare to go against you, even if you are only a second-rank expert. This is because there is a behemoth-level power in the Tianwu Continent that specializes in recruiting talents like you.” After thinking for a moment, Zeng Yunxia added.
Chu Feng was slightly surprised. Could it be that the Tianwu Continent and the Jiu Ning Continent were very different?
The original owner was born in Julu City and had virtually no knowledge of the Tianwu Continent.
Zeng Yunxia smiled and said, "There is a peculiar entity in the Tianwu Continent called the Weapon Refiner Guild. Only those who are simultaneously array masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman makers are qualified to join. As long as you possess the nameplates of all four guilds, they will come knocking on your door."
Hearing Zeng Yunxia's words, Chu Feng was deeply moved and shocked.
These four professions are the most sought-after professions in the cultivation world. The status of any one of them is above that of an ordinary cultivator. To be proficient in all four professions is to be a genius among geniuses.
How powerful and terrifying is the force capable of winning over such a genius?
What is this force planning to do by recruiting such talent?
"What are the requirements for joining the so-called Weapon Refiner Guild? To put it simply, is it about freedom?" Chu Feng didn't believe that this force had no ulterior motives.
Zeng Yunxia frowned and said, "Young Master, I have never seen such a heaven-defying figure as a weapon refiner. However, if there is no freedom, who would join such a genius?"
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll try to get the nameplates from the four guilds first, and then I'll join them when they contact me."
Joining the guild is nothing if it can rescue Su Xiaoxiao. Besides, I am the reincarnation of a Martial Emperor, and I cultivate a heaven-defying technique like the Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique. I will soon reach the peak. When that happens, who will I be afraid of?
No matter how powerful the Weapon Forger Guild is, can it really restrain itself?
Zeng Yunxia said, "Since you have made your decision, young master, let's go take the test now."
The weapon crafting assessment can be conducted in the Weapon Treasure Pavilion as long as two or more weapon crafters are present at the same time.
Although Zeng Yunxia is the head of the Weapon Treasure Pavilion, the Weapon Treasure Pavilion has its own rules, and Zeng Yunxia cannot directly give Chu Feng the nameplate of a weapon refiner.
The assessment can be conducted at any time of day or night.
Cultivators don't have a concept of time, unlike ordinary people who work during the day and sleep at night. Without proper rest, they won't have energy.
As long as one is a cultivator, one cultivates day and night. When hungry, one can eat fasting pills. I have never heard of any distinction between day and night.
It is important to understand that the lifespan of mortals is limited. Without effort, one will eventually turn to dust. Only by constantly pushing one's limits can one live longer than others.
The longer one's lifespan, the greater the chance of breaking through to a higher realm. The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through, and the more time is required. This is a vicious cycle, unless your talent is exceptionally extraordinary, like a genius like Chu Feng.
So, even though it was night, when Chu Feng arrived, there were still other people waiting to take the test.
Although Julu City is small, it has a large population. The city covers an area of several hundred square kilometers and has at least several hundred thousand people.
Four people were waiting in the hall outside the examination room: an elderly man with white hair and beard, two young men in their early twenties, and a woman of similar age to the men.
"Are you Chu the Trash?" One of the men shouted loudly as Chu Feng walked to the door.
Zeng Yunxia was about to speak when Chu Feng stopped her with a gesture. Seeing this, Zeng Yunxia had no choice but to stand behind Chu Feng.
"Ah! It really is Chu the Waste! What are you doing here?" The young woman screamed loudly upon seeing him.
The other young man and the old man remained silent, especially the old man, whose eyes flashed with disdain. Even if someone was a good-for-nothing, was it necessary to say it?
What do you gain from insulting someone?
Those who keep to themselves and offend others for no reason are idiots.
Such people usually don't live long. In a few years, the grass on their graves will probably be two feet long.
