"Junior brother, please wait a mont here, I will go and inform them." One of the guards glanced at Lin Chen before quickly turning around and entering the Artifact Refining Room.
At this mont in the Artifact Refining Room, Wu Chong was struggling to refine a piece of Lapis Lazuli Stone. With his Creation Realm First Level cultivation and his Fifth Rank Artifact Refining Technique, it took him an hour to refine a piece of Lapis Lazuli, and even then, he could only achieve a purification effect of seventy percent.
However, due to the needs of artifact refining, his teacher had instructed him to purify the entire batch of Lapis Lazuli Stone within three days. This task was extrely challenging for Wu Chong, almost impossible to complete. His teacher Xing Yao was well aware of this, so he had sent him to the Deacon Hall to issue the task of refining the Lapis Lazuli Stone, with the reward's Contribution Value being borne by his master.
In the Artifact Refining Room, Xing Yao was also refining Lapis Lazuli Stone. Xing Yao's refining speed was three tis that of Wu Chong, reaching a purification level of ninety percent, far beyond what Wu Chong could achieve. Wu Chong watched his master's refining speed, filled with awe and aspiration.
After all, his master Xing Yao was a direct disciple of Master Duan Yuanfeng. Currently, he was only a registered disciple of Xing Yao but had learned a lot of knowledge about artifact refining. He believed that as long as he continued to study hard, one day he would be able to stand out and be accepted as a direct disciple by Xing Yao, thus becoming a grand-disciple of Master Duan Yuanfeng.
Therefore, this ti, he must complete the refining of the Lapis Lazuli Stone within three days without disrupting the teacher's plan. It should be noted that his status as a registered disciple was obtained through his excellent performance in the Refinent Hall and multiple requests. Though he was only a registered disciple, it made other disciples in the Refinent Hall envious.
If he wanted to beco a direct disciple, he would obviously need to pass several assessnts. Right now, the task of refining the Lapis Lazuli Stone was clearly a test for him. If he perford well, it would certainly increase his chances of becoming a direct disciple in the mind of his teacher Xing Yao. If he failed to refine this batch of Lapis Lazuli Stone, his chances of becoming a direct disciple would beco slim.
Just as Wu Chong was refining the Lapis Lazuli Stone, sweating profusely and still unable to purify it, the door was knocked, causing Wu Chong to frown instantly. Those two guards were from the Refinent Hall; he had already instructed them that unless it was a special circumstance, they should not let anyone disturb him and his teacher.
"Senior Brother Wu Chong, an Outer Sect disciple outside said that he accepted the task of refining Lapis Lazuli Stone." The voice of the guard outside sounded.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chong was overjoyed, secretly relieved that soone finally accepted this task. He had issued this task a day and night ago, truly worried that no one would be capable of accepting it, resulting in him failing to refine the whole batch of Lapis Lazuli Stone.
"In that case, hurry and bring that disciple in." Wu Chong said happily, with a wave of his hand, he opened the stone door of the Artifact Refining Room.
The guard outside hesitated upon hearing Wu Chong's words.
"Senior Brother Wu Chong, that disciple is too young, and..." The guard said worriedly.
"And what? I am equally young, yet at only a hundred years old, I've reached Creation Realm First Level cultivation and am a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner. Stop hesitating and quickly bring that Outer Sect disciple in. If you delay the refining of Lapis Lazuli Stone, you cannot bear that responsibility."
Wu Chong was now entirely focused on successfully refining the batch of Lapis Lazuli Stone and didn't care about the other issues the guard ntioned, just wishing to quickly bring in the junior brother outside.
Upon hearing this, the guard imdiately agreed, then turned to call Lin Chen. Facing Wu Chong's reprimand, the guard dared not remind anything further. As a guard, his duty was just to bring Lin Chen in, no need to think too much.
Soon, the guard went out and approached Lin Chen.
"This way, junior brother, follow ." The guard said to Lin Chen.
"Thank you, senior brother." Lin Chen looked at the guard and clasped his fist in gratitude.
"Hold on." However, just as the guard was about to lead Lin Chen into the Artifact Refining Room to et Wu Chong, a voice sounded from behind.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the guard simultaneously turned their heads, only to see Zhou Liang, Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's lackeys coming over.
Seeing Zhou Liang and others, the guard was very puzzled, secretly thinking could it be that all these people were here to refine Lapis Lazuli Stone? But it seed only one person could accept the task, right?
"Senior Brother Zhou Liang, is there sothing you wish to teach?" The guard evidently recognized Zhou Liang, imdiately inquiring him. As an old disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, he was certainly familiar with many people.
"Junior Brother Yang, you may not know, this fellow is not here to refine Lapis Lazuli Stone; he is here to cause trouble. Don't let him in. Look at his cultivation, only Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, how could such trash refine Lapis Lazuli Stone? At that ti, he might fail and ruin the important matter of the person inside." With his arrival, Zhou Liang spoke to the guard nad Yang imdiately.
Upon hearing this, the guard nad Yang hesitated, struggling internally whether he should bring Lin Chen into the Artifact Refining Room. After all, he had attended the Refinent Hall classes and knew the difficulty of refining Lapis Lazuli Stone. Even a strong person half-step into the Creation Realm finds it sowhat challenging to refine, let alone Lin Chen, with only Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer cultivation, which seed indeed unlikely.
However, his duty as a guard was rely to bring Lin Chen in since Lin Chen had accepted the task; he would not worry about other things, especially since Senior Brother Wu Chong was urging him.
"Senior Brother Zhou Liang's words make so sense, but this junior brother accepted the task of refining Lapis Lazuli Stone, so he must have his own thod, right? After all, failing the task results in a seventy percent penalty compensation." The guard said to Lin Chen and Zhou Liang.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen cared little about the warning.
"In that case, let go in and see as well; I'd like to see what thod this trash uses to refine this Lapis Lazuli Stone." Zhou Liang said coldly, smiling at Lin Chen. This wasn't the Deacon Hall; even if he called him trash, he wasn't afraid of Lin Chen retaliating.
"Haha, I want to observe as well. After all, being able to refine Lapis Lazuli Stone with Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer cultivation is unprecedented."
