Seeing Fang Chen's blank expression, azure-haired old man was a little speechless.
If it was in the west, the word Gu Zong would be enough to intimidate countless warriors. However, the warrior in front of him clearly didn't know the meaning of the word Gu Zong.
"You can't be blamed. You're not from the west." Gu Zong nodded slightly, then said, "This old man is the strongest blacksmith in the west, I am known as the Grandmaster."
"Master Refiner?"
Hearing that, Fang Chen's pupils contracted as he looked at the azure-haired old man in front of him with blazing eyes. He did not expect that the other party was actually a Master Refiner.
No wonder this old man had asked him if he wanted to learn refining.
"So Senior is a Master Refiner." Fang Chen cupped his hands at Gu Zong and said.
"Kid, in the west, as long as I, Gu Zong, am able to open my mouth, there will be countless youngsters begging me to become their master." Gu Zong said proudly.
"However, if I were to learn refining, it would be a waste of my cultivation time." Fang Chen said.
"You're confused, who did you hear that from? When you forge artifacts, you can also increase your own cultivation. " Gu Zong replied.
Fang Chen thought for a moment, a sly smile flashed past his eyes, and he then said: "Senior Gu Zong, since you said you are Master Refiner, I wonder if you can help junior with something?"
"What kind of help?" Gu Zong valued Fang Chen very much. Amongst the younger generation in the west, there were almost none who could cultivate their fleshly bodies to a two star Dao Body.
The first condition of the Dao of Refining was that the body had to be strong enough and possess sufficient strength. Only then would one have the qualifications to become a refiner.
"My weapon broke in the previous battle, I wonder if Senior Gu Zong can help me refine it again?" As Fang Chen spoke, he took out the broken Hidden Dragon Sword.
Seeing that, Gu Zong said in shock: "I never thought that a mere Second level of the Qi Hai realm Cultivator like you would actually possess a top-grade Elemental Soldiers."
Following that, Gu Zong picked up the broken Hidden Dragon Sword and studied it carefully, then said: "Repairing this sword, to me, is extremely simple."
From his conversation with Gu Zong, Fang Chen believed that Gu Zong was not a greedy old man, so after thinking for a moment, Fang Chen took out a small piece of heavenly meteorite from his chest pocket.
Of course, this piece of Ethereal Meteoric Iron was bitten off by the little mouse by Fang Chen.
"Senior Gu Zong, I wonder if we can merge this thing with the Hidden Dragon Sword?" Fang Chen asked.
"Of course."
Gu Zong looked at it and laughed.
However, in the next moment, the smile on Gu Zong's face instantly disappeared, and was replaced with a serious expression. He grabbed the outer space meteorite in Fang Chen's hands, and said anxiously, "This is … "Outer space meteorite, how did you get that?"
Even for a Master Refiner like Gu Zong, seeing the outer space meteorite was shocking.
Outer space meteorite, that was the best material to forge a weapon. Just by casually refining it, one could turn it into a Soul-Soldier.
"Where did you get this meteorite?" Gu Zong's expression was solemn as he asked.
Fang Chen was startled for a moment, but immediately laughed dryly and said, "This junior accidentally obtained it, and later on found out that this is Outer Space Meteoric Iron."
Hearing that, Gu Zong understood that Fang Chen was unwilling to tell him, everyone had their own secrets, so he did not force himself to ask.
Gu Zong carefully sized up this small piece of outer space meteorite, and his face was filled with an excited smile: "As expected of outer space meteorite, its toughness is truly amazing."
After a long while, Gu Zong held onto the Outer World Meteoric Iron, looked at Fang Chen playfully, and asked: "Kid, are you not afraid that I'll kill you to keep my mouth shut? You must know, the Outer World Meteoric Iron is worth it for me to do so. "
Fang Chen looked at Gu Zong and grinned: "But, you didn't do that."
Fang Chen was gambling, and when Gu Zong said these words, he knew that he made the right choice.
"Good boy, it suits my taste. I'll be taking you in as my disciple." Gu Zong waved his big hand, directly slapping onto Fang Chen's shoulder, and said while laughing.
"Let's go back with me. I'll refine a weapon for you and let you consider it for three days. After three days, you can decide whether or not you want to be my disciple." After Gu Zong finished, he brought Fang Chen and left the trial training mountain range.
After approximately two hours, Fang Chen finally came out from the trial training mountain range. In front of him, was a green-haired Gu Zong.
"Is this the west?" Fang Chen was slightly startled as he said.
"This is the west. Let's go." Gu Zong laughed.
Soon after, Gu Zong brought Fang Chen and quickly disappeared into the mountain range.
The most prosperous city in the west, and also the most core city, was called West Cloud City.
In the west, countless warriors wanted to enter the West Cloud City.
Not only was the West Cloud City bustling, there were also countless powerful warriors. Fang Chen's and Gu Zong's target this time was the West Cloud City.
Gu Zong was the only Master Refiner in the west, and also the most powerful one. His residence was right inside the West Cloud City.
Under Gu Zong's lead, the two of them moved very quickly. In merely a day's time, the two of them arrived at West Cloud City.
Before entering the West Cloud City, there were guards who stopped them, but after seeing Gu Zong, they immediately became respectful.
Entering the West Cloud City unhindered, Fang Chen could not help but exclaim, this West Cloud City was truly prosperous, even compared to the large cities in the south, it was not much inferior.
"My mansion is located on that mountain peak deep in the West Cloud City." After Gu Zong finished speaking, he quickly brought Fang Chen to the front of his residence.
Only after arriving at the top of the mountain peak, did Fang Chen realize that on top of the peak, there was actually a mansion built there.
"Go in." Gu Zong said.
Entering the residence, Gu Zong found Fang Chen a room, and then went into the artifact forging room and buried his head inside it.
"This Gu Zong is truly worthy of being called the Master Refiner. On the way, many people had met him, and they were incomparably respectful." Fang Chen said in his heart.
In the following days, Fang Chen stayed on top of Gu Zong's residence, waiting for him.
One day, Fang Chen was bored and idled as he walked out of Gu Zong's residence. Just at this moment, Fang Chen noticed that on the entire mountain peak, from the peak to the foot of the mountain, countless young warriors were lined up in a row, waiting for something.
Seeing Fang Chen's appearance, a young warrior standing in the first position revealed a pleasantly surprised smile on his face. He then called out: "Little brother, are you a servant of Gu Zong's master's residence?"
Hearing the warrior's words, Fang Chen was stunned, obviously they treated him as a servant of Gu Zong's residence, but Fang Chen did not explain and raised his head to look at the warrior.
"Little brother, I wonder when Master Gu Zong will come out to see us?" The martial artist continued to ask, and there was also a commotion behind him.
"This... Master Gu Zong is currently in closed door cultivation and should not be coming out for the time being. " Fang Chen lightly coughed, and said immediately.
Right at this moment, the martial artist in the first position, with a face full of smiles, walked in front of Fang Chen and secretly stuffed a spatial ring into Fang Chen's sleeves.
"Little brother, this is a little kindness from me. I hope that you can say some good words for me in front of Master Gu Zong." The warrior said in a low voice.
Fang Chen was startled, then immediately rolled his eyes and nodded: "Alright, no problem."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the warrior became even more excited.
After the many warriors behind saw this, they all went forward to befriend Fang Chen and gave him spatial rings.
In merely an afternoon, Fang Chen received over a hundred spatial rings, which he didn't even have time to open.
"Lil 'Bro, you have to help."
From time to time, there would be warriors talking to Fang Chen like this, but Fang Chen could only nod his head and agree.
"All of you go back first. Master Gu Zong definitely won't be able to come out for a few days." Fang Chen said.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, all the warriors bid farewell to Fang Chen and left the mountain peak.
After a while, the mountain peak became much quieter.
"So it could actually be like this."
Fang Chen's face was full of smiles. He quickly returned to his own residence and opened his spatial rings one by one.
"There are actually five Yuan Level pills in this storage ring, hahaha." Fang Chen laughed.
"There's very little things inside this spatial ring, just a few tens of thousands of Middle grade spirit stone." Fang Chen complained.
Time trickled by as Fang Chen organized his spatial ring for an entire afternoon.
Around ten in the evening, Fang Chen finally finished his preparations.
The entire courtyard was filled with all sorts of elixirs and spirit stones.
Fang Chen carefully calculated that out of the hundred over spatial rings, all of the spirit stones were Middle grade spirit stone s. Adding them together, there were at least a hundred million.
Of course, these Yuan Level pills were basically all beginner Yuan Level pills. Only a few of them were middle level pills, and there were even a few high level pills. As for the top grade Yuan Level pills, there was only one.
A Yuan Level pill could be considered quite precious in the Golden Crown. These warriors were all elite disciples of their sects, which was why they were able to take out so many Yuan Level pills.
"I've really struck it rich." Fang Chen laughed wildly.
Some of these pills could be used by him, while others he couldn't use. Thus, he could sell them.
As for weapons, there was not a single one. Teacher Gu Zong was just a Master Refiner, so how could his servants lack weapons?
"Hahaha, if every day could be like this, how great would that be?" Fang Chen laughed wildly.
In just a mere afternoon, the resources collected were enough to move a Qi Hai realm practitioner's heart. This level of wealth was something that even some small influences would not be able to afford.
Just as Fang Chen was laughing crazily, a voice suddenly came out.
"Taking something from someone else under my guise?"
After hearing the voice, Fang Chen hurriedly stored all of the items in front of him into his spatial ring. Then, he respectfully looked at the figure that appeared in front of him.
"Senior Gu Zong... "Heh heh."
Fang Chen scratched his head and chuckled.
"Is this your weapon?" Gu Zong said, then with a casual toss, the Hidden Dragon Sword appeared in Fang Chen's hands.
As Fang Chen held onto the Hidden Dragon Sword, he could feel a faintly discernible aura coming from the sword.
"Beginner Soul-Soldier?"
Fang Chen opened his eyes wide as he looked at the Hidden Dragon Sword and shouted.
