Chapter 46: Adjusting in the Quiet Room

  Hearing Kong Fang's words, Jin Jiu's breath got stuck in his throat and he suddenly started coughing violently. However, the spiritual energy quickly circulated throughout his body, and Jin Jiu soon recovered normally.

  "Everyone has their own way, since you like to choose materials in this way, then just choose them in this way. If you think there is no suitable material among these, you can also take out all the other materials from the storage ring and choose." Jin Jiu said with a smile, but that smile looked slightly stiff.

  "Thank you for your understanding, Senior Jin." Kong Fang said with a smile, and then added another sentence, "If we really can't find the right material, I will take out all the other materials as you said, Senior Jin."

  Hearing Kong Fang's words, Jin Jiu's smile on his face became even more rigid.

  Although the materials that Kong Fang took out now seem to be a lot, most of them are not precious and can be wasted by Kong Fang. However, if he were to take out the remaining materials from the storage ring for Kong Fang to practice with, Jin Jiu would never agree to it no matter what. Those materials are what they have prepared to refine spiritual treasures, some of which are extremely precious and specifically prepared for refining high-grade spiritual treasures. Jin Jiu originally only said it out of politeness, but unexpectedly Kong Fang continued along his words.

  Jin Jiu felt a little regretful and self-reproachful in his heart, previously he had told Wei Shou and Zhao Bingxue not to speak too much, but he himself had said one more sentence and ended up getting himself into trouble.

  "No way, those materials absolutely cannot be wasted." Jin Jiu made a decision in his heart, "If this Kong Fang, the disciple of the Qizong sect, really dares to take out those materials, I'll have no choice but to offend them and make them return to the Qizong sect. Whatever consequences come later, I, Jin Jiu, will bear them alone."

  Kong Fang glanced at Jin Jiu, Zhao Binglan and Wei Shou, and secretly smiled to himself. He just wanted to vent the depression caused by being unfairly criticized earlier, and wouldn't really do such a thing.

  Kong Fang ignored the few people and directly started selecting from the small mountain of materials.

  After finding a few materials, Kong Fang couldn't help but smile wryly to himself, "Just now I did vent my anger, but now selecting materials is not convenient, it's really like lifting a rock and hitting my own foot."

  In the storage ring, selecting materials is easy with just a thought, but now searching through this small mountain of materials is much more troublesome and can only be done by flipping through one item at a time.

  After a few minutes, Kong finally selected the materials he needed.

  The four people present looked at the small pile of materials selected by Kong Fang and placed aside, their eyes were all a bit strange.

  Sun Hao opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Jin Jiu and others present, he could only swallow the words that had reached his lips.

  Jin Jiu looked at the small pile of materials, then glanced at the large stack of materials beside it, feeling a bit toothache. Taking out so many materials from the storage ring, only to choose so little in the end, was obviously done on purpose to tease him.

  Suddenly, Jin Jiu was taken aback and looked at the small pile of materials with some surprise, asking Kong Fang, "Are you going to forge several weapons?"

  Lan Zhongmen's task in the artifact sect was to refine eight quasi-spirit treasure-grade weapons, and Jin Jiu was very clear about this. However, looking at the materials chosen by Kong Fang, Jin Jiu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, because these materials could only be used to refine eight weapons at most, and there wasn't even a spare material prepared for failure.

  If Gong Fang was going to refine eight pieces of equipment, that would mean he would never fail in refining equipment. Jin Jiu was very skeptical about this point. As an inner disciple of the Instrument Sect, he had seen countless people over the years, but he had never heard of any inner disciple who had never failed to refine a single piece of equipment.

  If Kong Fang had prepared materials for eight pieces of equipment but could only successfully forge two or three, Jin Jiu would have to consider replacing him, which is why he asked this question.

  Kong Fang said matter-of-factly, "I've prepared materials for eight weapons, so naturally I'll be refining all eight."

  Such a straightforward answer made Jin Jiu's mouth twitch, it was the first time in so many years that he had seen someone who didn't play by the rules like this, and he couldn't look at him with normal eyes.

  "Alright then." Jin Jiu decided not to say any more, or else who knows what this so-called Kong Fang, the junior brother of the Qigong sect, would say next.

  "Here are ten refining rooms in total, you two can choose by yourself, we won't disturb your refining." As he spoke, Jin Jiu beckoned with his hand, and the unowned storage ring in Kong Fang's hand flew back to him. Jin Jiu put away the pile of materials that Kong Fang had left behind into the storage ring, then prepared to leave the refining room with Wei Shou and Zhao Bingxue.

  The technique of refining instruments, the control of flames, quenching and awakening are all secrets of instrument repair. Generally, others are not allowed to watch, lest the secret be known by others.

  "Wait a minute." At this time, Kong Fang suddenly stopped Jin Jiu and others.

  Jinjiu is now more sensitive to Kong Fang's voice, and his first reaction when he hears Kong Fang's voice is that nothing good will come of it.

  Jin Jiu stopped and turned around to ask Kong Fang, "Is there anything else?"

  "Could you find me a quiet room? I need to adjust my state." Kong Fang said with some embarrassment.

  Sun Hao smiled wryly and shook his head. Although he had never seen Kong Fang's refining equipment, he had heard that this junior brother would look for a quiet room to adjust his state after just one refinement.

  Although it was a bit strange for Jinjiu to make such a request, he nodded in agreement. Wei Shou, who was standing beside Jinjiu, subtly curled his lip and flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes.

  "Refining a quasi-spirit treasure actually requires adjusting some state, and I've never heard of such an absurd requirement. Just looking at this person is like looking at a decorative frame, and in the end, who knows what kind of goods he'll be able to refine? It's best if all the materials are used up, but not even one quasi-spirit treasure is refined, then I'll see if he still has the face to stay in my Blue Central Sect." Wei Shou said coldly.

  Zhao Binglan looked at Kong Fang with a strange gaze, apparently also shocked by Kong Fang's bizarre request.

  "Junior brother, I'll go and refine the lower-grade Later Heaven Spirit Treasure first. If you... can't adjust your state to its peak, then don't rush into action just yet." Sun Hao subtly reminded Kong Fang that if he couldn't guarantee a high success rate, he should delay for now and wait until he finished refining the three lower-grade Later Heaven Spirit Treasures, after which he would refine those eight quasi-Spirit Treasures.

  Kong Fang smiled confidently and said, "Senior brother, you can go."

  Sun Hao did not have Kong Fang's confidence, and gave Kong Fang a cryptic look. He then took out a pair of True Flame Rings from his storage ring and put them on his wrists.

  Seeing the puzzlement in Kong Fang's eyes, Sun Hao explained simply: "When going out of the sect to do tasks, we are usually equipped with a pair of True Fire Rings. After all, other sects don't have earth fire for us to use. This pair of True Fire Rings was refined by myself, and its grade is relatively low, only reaching the quasi-spirit treasure level. The earth fire inside is also taken from the yellow-grade refining room, and it can't be compared with Brother Disciple's True Fire Ring at all." Sun Hao smiled, then nodded to everyone one by one, before entering a nearby refining room.

  "Ling'er, take Kong Fang to that quiet room where I usually meditate." Jin Jiu instructed Zhao Bingling.

  "Yes, Master Jin." Zhao Binglan replied respectfully.

  "Ordinarily a quiet room would be fine, but I find it easier to adjust my state when sitting on the ground due to my innate talent." Kong Fang hastily reminded.

  Kong Fang wanted to bury all the materials in the ground, so as to call upon the power of the earth to remove impurities from each material. Finally, he would fuse the suitable materials together to create a vessel. If he were brought to a quiet room filled with arrays and stone pavement, he would still think of ways to cause destruction.
