"Alright, tell me about it now!"
After seeing Fang Ming meditate for a while, Ji Tiangong finally spoke in a cold voice.
Fang Ming took a deep breath before speaking slowly.
Hearing this, the coldness on Ji Tiangong's face immediately receded by fifty percent. In reality, the young man before him was speaking the truth, and couldn't help but nod: "That's right, looks like your foundation is extremely solid. To think that you would be able to see through the root of the technique I have created!"
"Hua!"
The crowd went into an uproar. Wasn't this the kid who hadn't even taken the 1-star blacksmith examination? How could he tell all these with a single glance!?
One must know that everyone present was an artificer, and two of them had even reached the 3-star yellow rank. However, one could not tell how many of them were there!
As for why Fang Ming was able to see, it was naturally due to Qin Shou's vicious nourishment of these three days. He had seen more than two hundred different tempering methods and smelting methods, and it was fortunate that Fang Ming had been able to light up his secondary stars multiple times. Not only his five senses had been continuously improved, even his memories had become shockingly strong.
This time, Shen Ziqi learnt his lesson and stood at the side without making a sound. He secretly rejoiced that he had resisted the urge to taunt them, otherwise, he would have been slapped in the face again. However, his heart was filled with jealousy and envy.
Ye Jianmu, who was standing behind Ji Tiangong, had his eyes wide opened and a face of shock. He had followed his master for many years to learn refining and had only seen one method of refining the meteor hammer.
Elder Deng's tensed heart finally relaxed a bit more, and a bit of hope rose in his heart.
Yun Lan, on the other hand, had a stupefied expression on her face. If it wasn't for the fact that she obviously didn't even know how to take the Refiner's Examination, she would have suspected that this fellow had come here on purpose to act cool!
"But …" Ji Tiangong's voice suddenly became cold, and said: "I do not wish to see you flaunting your artifact forging foundation, but wanted to give you a chance, and tell me what my mistake was!"
"The president is right, he only knows how to show off his basics, what's the point of that? If you can't explain yourself today, I think you don't need to walk out of the Blacksmith's Association, I, Shen Ziqi, will be the first one to not let you go. I believe none of the refiners here will let you go either!"
Shen Ziqi finally found the chance to speak, his tone obviously carrying a strong sense of ridicule.
"Right, I will definitely not let you off!"
Everyone's face was filled with anger, it could be seen that Ji Tiangong was very respectful to the masses.
Fang Ming chuckled and said:
First, let's talk about the forging method. The Meteor Hammer Technique and Autumn Wind Sweeping the Fallen Leaves can be considered to be the pinnacle of their respective stages, and the president has even combined his own understanding to reconcile the two techniques.
The Meteor Hammer Refining technique requires a firm and fierce method, and the falling hammer's speed is as fast as a meteor. The Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaf refining method uses a strong and swift power to temper and refine. Just like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, it sweeps away the impurities in the spirit materials.
"But the president combined these two techniques. The strength of the meteor's descent caused the autumn wind to become astral winds. The impurities were removed, but the essence of the spirit materials were also damaged, resulting in the grade of the weapon being lowered. This is the first mistake!"
Fang Ming's voice was loud like a bell, the two methods of analysis were focused on the essence, as he spoke slowly, layer after layer, making it hard for people to refute him!
However, at this point, he was not done yet!
"This is the seventeenth mistake!"
In the end, he revealed seventeen mistakes in one breath, and naturally, they were all mistakes that he saw under the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!
"That sounds so reasonable, but I can't refute it!" Amongst President Ji's refining techniques, there were actually seventeen mistakes! Is this true? "
The surrounding refiners were all lost in thought. Although this sounded very reasonable and they could not find any way to refute it, they were still unable to differentiate right from wrong.
However, when everyone looked at Ji Tiangong, they saw the latter's eyes filled with light, which obviously meant that he had received a huge inspiration, causing them to be endlessly shocked. What the youth said, was very likely all true!
"He really hasn't even taken the 1-star weapons craftsman examination?"
Ye Jianmu looked at Fang Ming in a daze. He had learned Artifact Forging from Ji Tiangong, his level naturally far surpassed that of other artificers, and at this moment, other than his master, he felt it the most. After careful examination, he discovered that of the seventeen mistakes Fang Ming spoke of, there were actually at least five that were correct!
"Thank you for your guidance, Little Friend Fang. May I ask if these seventeen mistakes can be remedied?"
Suddenly, Ji Tiangong cupped his fists and bowed to Fang Ming. His attitude had changed so much that it caused everyone to be dumbstruck.
"How is this possible!?" This was absolutely impossible! He was just a person who hadn't even taken the 1-star weapons craftsman examination! How could he possibly see through the mistake of a three star blacksmith! "That's impossible!" Hearing this, Shen Ziqi's body trembled, and he roared crazily.
"Shut up!" You are an arrogant and ignorant fool! With little friend Fang's level, how could you speak nonsense!? From today onwards, the Green Thunder City will forever ban you from entering! Get out of the guild immediately! "
There was no need to ask anyone else, Ji Tiangong had already yelled at him. It was this person who disturbed his artifact forging just now, and now he was shouting randomly.
In fact, ever since Ji Tiangong had created this refining method, he had already felt that it was incomplete, but he could not find the reason. Now that he heard Fang Ming pointing out seventeen errors, he was practically enlightened, but he still could not think of a solution in a short amount of time!
As for the young man in front of him, since he was able to point out seventeen mistakes in one go, it was very likely that he knew the solution as well.
Shen Ziqi's expression immediately changed. Being expelled by the Blacksmith's Association meant that his future was completely ruined!
"What is it? The president told you to scram, but you still aren't scram? "
Some of the other refiners added insult to injury, and in the end, under the denouncement and cursing of the crowd of refiners, Shen Ziqi left with his face covered with dirt.
did not care about this at all, he was just a clown!
At this moment, he nodded his head, and said to Ji Tiangong: "Let me think!"
After he had finished speaking, he began to ponder. This immediately caused all the artificers present to not even dare to breathe loudly. They were afraid of disturbing the youth and had even pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss a single word!
Fortunately, the past few days had not been in vain. Although Qin Shou, the supreme genius of the refinery world, had never refined a weapon, his understanding towards refining had actually surpassed that of an ordinary three star refiner!
As such, before the crowd could wait for too long, his voice rang out once more.
"The first mistake can be combined with the method of freezing and tempering created by Master Chao Binhai eight hundred years ago, to counteract the excessive power and make the autumn wind still the autumn wind, and the second mistake!"
It was all thanks to Qin Shou who had given him supplementary refining knowledge in the last three days, and he even really wanted to use seventeen methods to remedy his mistakes. After saying it out loud, Ji Tiangong immediately felt enlightened as two rays of light shot out from his eyes.
Finally, two hours had passed. In Ji Tiangong's hands, a long spear had formed.
However, the long spear that had yet to be refined was already emitting waves of buzzing sounds and waves of spiritual power, causing one to feel suffocated!
"This is the Spirit Weapon, Howling Heights!" A Heaven grade spirit weapon! "
It was unknown who among the surrounding refiners let out the first cry of alarm, but immediately, the crowd was in an uproar again!
"Oh heavens! President directly refined a Heaven grade spirit weapon!" Moreover, it's even a Heaven grade spirit weapon that's made from materials that were used to refine an Earth grade spirit weapon! "
"How can this be possible!?" The president was actually able to refine a Heaven grade spirit weapon with just a few pointers from the young man? Wouldn't that mean that the President will advance to a three-star Heaven rank weapons craftsman? " Another person said.
"Oh god, from a three star Xuan Artifact, he was raised two levels in a row. Moreover, the President's cultivation level should not have reached the Heaven's rank yet. This is a break from the traditional restriction. After Master Qin from three years ago, the President became the second person to set a record in the world of smithing!"
But everyone knew, that the reason Ji Tiangong was able to do all these, was because of the young man's guidance. When he looked at Fang Ming, he could not help but be shocked!
Finally, one after another shocked comments came out, following the completion of Ji Tiangong's last step of quenching the spirit stone, but no spear sounds had sounded out.
"It's a pity that it's only half a step into the Heaven grade!" The problem lies in the method of quenching! "
Ji Tiangong sighed heavily, but his eyes flashed with a strange light. In the beginning, he only planned to refine an Earth grade spirit weapon, but now, he had refined half a Heaven grade weapon!
Yes, Fang Ming did not see his method of quenching just now, so he did not point out his mistake. In the end, his quenching did not reach the optimal degree, resulting in the spear not reaching the level of Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, but it had far surpassed the Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon, and was already infinitely close to the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, so one could call it half a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon!
But even so, everyone present was still endlessly shocked. They all knew that there was only the issue of tempering. Before long, their guild leader would definitely be promoted to a three-star heaven rank!
Ji Tiangong also understood this point, and couldn't help but to turn and look at Fang Ming.
The latter repeatedly shook her head and said, "President, don't look at me like that. I'm not good at refining. All I know is the smelting and tempering methods, and I'm only at the theoretical stage. I definitely won't be able to refine them myself!"
