Chapter 170: Aswor Province, Alaster

Weapon's hall, one of the halls of the outer sect which refines the weapons for the entire outer sect. Moreover, their weapons would be sold outside the twin fire mountains for some rich cultivator families in Aswor province to some valuable cultivation resources or spirit stones.

Even though those families were not much powerful in the cultivation world. They are strong enough to maintain a stand in the Aswor province.

Moreover, they could be considered as subsidiaries of the 'Blazing inferno sect'.

"Yes, Elder. I am interested in refining weapons,"

While walking behind that middle-aged man, Henrick nodded his head regarding the middle-aged man's earlier question.

"Good,"

The middle-aged man nodded his head and within no time, they entered the building.

The main hall was very big and there were many rooms in the building which were protected by thin barriers.

'Looks like those are weapon-refining rooms,'

With a glance, Henrick was able to tell because when refining a weapon, the refiner should not be disturbed; otherwise, the refining would end up in failure.

"I will help you with the refining; however, first introduce yourself,"

Soon, the middle-aged man sat on a chair as he asked Henrick.

"My name is Henrick and my master is the sect leader Gamos,"

Henrick maintained a polite smile on his face from the start.

"What? You are sect leader's disciple...good,"

All of a sudden, the middle-aged man's interest in Henrick increased and threw a small stone at Henrick.

'Huh?'

Henrick's reaction speed was quick enough to catch the stone and looked at it.

'Ding,

Item name:- Black lava stone

Use:- Used for decorations

Details:- Can be found at the places that are filled with lava.

Soon, the details about the stone appeared in front of him and from that he could say that it was just a common stone.

"Melt that stone and I will say whether you have talent in weapon-refining or not,"

Seeing the puzzled look on Henrick's face, the middle-aged man said to Henrick.

"Hmm"

Henrick nodded his head and closed his eyes to start the process.

'I need to be careful using my pure internal fire energy,'

Henrick intentionally didn't melt the stone in his hand and started wasting time.

If others know he had pure internal fire energy in his dantian, then that was another unnecessary trouble for him.

"Vice Leader Alaster,"

While Henrick was concentrating on melting on a black stone in his hand, someone from outside came and called the middle-aged man on the chair.

"What is it?"

Looking at the young man, Alaster raised his brows as he asked him.

For some reason, one could see that the middle-aged man named Alaster didn't like the young man who came just now.

"My master asked you to finish refining all the weapons by tomorrow; otherwise, be ready to face the consequences,"

The young man scoffed at Alaster before leaving the main hall; however, just when he was about to walk through the door, he stopped in his tracks and looked at Henrick.

"So, you are trying to take him as your disciple? Haha,"

The young man revealed a loud laugh before leaving the room.

'Louis, just wait and see. I will make you regret what you did that day,'

The middle-aged man clenched his fists as he silently thought in his head.

'Huh? Who is that?'

As Henrick closed his eyes, he was unable to see who the newcomer was; however, he could say that the elder in front of him and that newcomer were clearly not on good terms.

"Okay, then. I will melt it now,"

Soon, Henrick used the heat from his pure internal fire energy through his hand and melted the black stone in less than 10 seconds.

"Not bad, not bad...you are able to melt that stone within 2 minutes. You have the talent to become a weaponsmith," Alaster nodded his head and concluded that Henrick had an average talent in weapon refining.

"Moreover, ask permission from your master and say my name that I want to take you as a half disciple. If he agrees, I am happy to help you learn all my refining techniques,"

He didn't give any time for Henrick to give a reply before saying one thing after another thing.

"Half-disciple?"

Henrick raised his brows as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Of course, Henrick knew what 'Half-disciple' meant. So, he was surprised by those words.

Half disciple means a cultivator who already had a master could learn something from another cultivator by becoming his half-disciple.

"I will ask my master about it," Henrick nodded his head as he was more than happy to become a half-disciple and learn all the weapon-refining techniques from the elder.

In the future, the inheritance building would definitely have trials regarding weapon refining. So, Henrick felt he had to learn about it.

"By the way, elder, I don't know your name,"

Henrick rubbed the back of his head as he asked the middle-aged man for his name.

"Oh. I forgot to introduce myself," the middle-aged man shook his head as he continued, "My name is Alaster, the vice leader of the weapon's hall."

"Oh. I will go now and come back tomorrow to give an answer to you, Elder Alaster,"

Henrick nodded his head as he quietly left the weapon's hall.

'I wonder, why he wants to take me as his half-disciple,'

Even though he looked excited for getting an opportunity to become a half disciple from the vice-leader of the weapon's hall, he still didn't understand the reason behind it.

'I will ask my master about this elder. Only after that, I will take a decision,'

By the time, he crossed the gate of the weapon's hall, Henrick concluded to know more about this elder before accepting him as his half-master.

….

Inside the weapon's hall,

"I hope sect leader Gamos says a few good words about me keeping my previous contributions to the sect in his mind,"

After Henrick left the weapon's hall, Alaster muttered to himself as he thought to himself.

As for why he wanted him to take as his disciple, it was because of his respect towards his master that made him a good disciple and Alaster wanted to have that kind of disciple.

'If he was not the sect leader Gamos' personal disciple, I would have taken him as my personal disciple,'

'Anyway, I need to refine weapons for that old monster,'

Alaster shook his head as he stood up from the chair and went into one of the weapon-refining rooms to refine some weapons.

"First, I will go back to my cultivation abode and meet Spark. He must have worried sick about me after not seeing me all these days,"

The first thing that came to his mind after leaving the weapon's hall was to return to his cultivation abode.

'I wonder how it would feel,'

Henrick was greatly excited as he increased his speed.

"After that, I will take a nice hot water bath and then sleep,"

He also planned about the next things after entering the cultivation abode.

"Spark, I am back,"

Within no time, he reached his cultivation adobe and as soon as he entered the abode, he excitedly shouted.
