Chapter 508 Body Refinement Method
A strong wind swept through the mountains, and Yuan Zhen's resolute voice echoed among them.
Looking at the smile on the boy's face, Xue Lan handed the last Wan Gong Fang token to him.
"senior……"
Yuan Zhen looked past the token in front of him at Xue Lan's gray-white eyes.
"Take it. From now on, you will be a disciple of my Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop."
"I and the entire Wan Gong Fang will stand with you and fight against fate."
Yuan Zhen slowly raised his hand to receive the token, his voice hoarse:
"Thank you, Master!"
Xue Lan smiled gently, patted the boy's shoulder upon hearing this, and then spoke loudly to the powerful figures behind her:
"Fellow Daoists, the Wan Gong Fang has already filled its quota for recruiting disciples this time. Xue Lan will not interfere with the recruitment of disciples in the future."
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures on the platform who were deeply moved by Yuan Zhen's determination all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xue Lan had some conscience and didn't send all the young geniuses of this year to hone their hammers and forge weapons.
Unfortunately, the relief is only temporary. Look at the old friends you've known for years around you, my esteemed ones.
“This child is only suited to learning swordsmanship, why bother raising a spirit beast!” The Qingyun Sect Leader stroked his beard and said.
"A large sword is buried inside the mountain gate of Longsword Mountain, which is bad feng shui!"
"Who are you saying has bad feng shui?"
"Good feng shui? With good feng shui, not a single disciple of the Heartless Path can cultivate it!"
"You old man Qu Shen, take this sword!"
……
"What energetic seniors they are!"
Xue Lan, who was still in the square below, watched the Qingyun Sect Leader and Qu Shen Sect Master fighting fiercely and couldn't help but sigh.
"Master...aren't you going back?" Yuan Zhen couldn't help but whisper as he looked at Xue Lan.
"What would I do if I went back?" Xue Lan asked Yuan Zhen telepathically.
"Go back and get scolded again?"
Yuan Zhen knew Xue Lan was joking, but the child was a genuinely good child, and for a moment he actually felt that what Xue Lan said made a lot of sense, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Xue Lan found his bewildered expression amusing and spoke softly:
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet your fellow disciples."
Xue Lan led the way towards the northwest corner of the square, and Yuan Zhen, following behind, couldn't help but ask, "Won't those seniors up there be angry?"
"Of course!"
Xue Lan transmitted her voice from ahead, her steps steady:
"Yes, but it's okay, I'm thick-skinned!"
The words the boy wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless.
They had probably never seen such a shameless person before.
"Why don't you speak?"
Yuan Zhen's voice was somewhat muffled:
"It's nothing, I just feel that the shop owner is a little different from before."
The Xue Lan who spoke to him before and the Xue Lan who is communicating with him telepathically now seem to be different people.
The person who was just dignified and aloof is now a little too lively.
"I was faking it!" The trial participants blocking the way made way one by one, and Xue Lan saw Bai Taolan and the others not far away.
"Pretending?" Yuan Zhen's voice was full of surprise. The boy blinked, his mind racing, and finally uttered:
"This disciple does not understand, but the workshop master has his own reasons for acting."
The boy spoke in a lighthearted tone, his beautiful eyes shining like stars.
"Wow!"
Xue Lan gasped slightly in surprise:
"You're going to keep blindly believing like this!"
"If this continues, something terrible will happen."
Before Yuan Zhen could understand the meaning behind Xue Lan's words, Xue Tong's mocking voice echoed in his mind.
The beautiful young woman stood behind Bai Taolan, looking at Xue Lan with a somewhat helpless expression.
"How are my newly recruited disciples?" Xue Lan walked to the center of the group of disciples and looked at Xue Tong with pride.
"You can tell just by looking at the expressions on the faces of those sect leaders and powerful demons."
Xue Tong spoke lazily, her gaze falling on Yuan Zhen behind Xue Lan. She noticed the boy was curiously sizing her up.
"Hello, I'm the shop owner's sister."
Yuan Zhen smiled gently and bowed to Xue Tong:
"Yuan Zhen greets Senior."
Looking at the well-behaved boy, Xue Tong couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Xue Lan:
"The thought of such a well-behaved child falling into your hands breaks my heart."
Xue Lan's tone was unpleasant:
"Don't worry about the pain, I have something to tell you."
Yuan Zhen looked at Xue Tong and gave her a very bitter smile, which looked like it was about to break.
"whats the matter?"
Xue Lan's expression turned serious, and she coldly transmitted her voice to Xue Tong:
"Could you please make another trip to the Northern Region for me and retrieve a few items?"
Xue Tong composed herself: "You used the word 'trouble' when you asked me to do this, so it must be something very important."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"My private vault lies beneath the Ice Flower Pool in the Northern Region. You can open it by going to Jinguang."
"I need two pieces of Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron, two top-grade Source Crystals, and spirit stones, the more spirit stones the better."
"it is good!"
Xue Tong nodded solemnly to Xue Lan: "I'm going right now!"
"Wait first!"
Xue Lan looked at the girl in front of her and gave her a word of advice:
"The Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron is used to forge smelting furnaces for melting and refining mist souls; its use is singular."
"If Jinguang and Aozhu ask, you just need to tell them that this is my decision."
Xue Tong sighed softly:
"Okay, I'm leaving now!"
The girl transformed into a pale blue streak of light and disappeared into the horizon, while Xue Lan heard Yuan Zhen's voice in her ears.
“Master, you said before that you would help me fight against fate.”
"I don't know what this disciple should do?"
The woman pulled herself out of her thoughts, and a tattered ancient book appeared in her hand:
"When I succeeded as the head of the Wan Gong Workshop, I found this among the books in the workshop."
In front of Yuan Zhen, Xue Lan gently raised her hand, her fingertips glowing with a faint golden light, and softly wrote a single character on the tattered ancient book:
"Show!"
With a soft shout from the woman, three large, gleaming golden characters slowly appeared on the tattered cover of the ancient book.
Yuan Zhen read it aloud involuntarily:
"The Heaven-Forging Technique?"
"Master, is this a secret technique for refining weapons?"
Xue Lan gently shook her head: "No, this Heaven Forging Technique is a method for refining the body."
"The Method of Body Refinement!"
The children around gasped in surprise, and Bai Taolan, the bravest of them all, couldn't help but speak up:
"Master, the body-refining technique can indeed help Yuan Zhen strengthen his body and prevent him from exploding and dying. However, relatively speaking, the flow of the five elements in his body will be affected. At best, his cultivation will be slow; at worst, it will stagnate."
Xue Lan nodded in agreement with the little girl:
"You're right."
“The lower realm is inherently devoid of spiritual energy. If Yuan Zhen cultivates body-refining techniques, without the nourishment of pure spiritual energy, his cultivation might indeed stagnate. However…”
The woman changed the subject, her greyish-white eyes like a full moon in the sky, faintly translucent.
"What if I used a massive amount of spiritual energy to open his meridians on the day he achieved minor success?"
"Is it a spirit-gathering array?" Yu Sen, dressed as a scholar, couldn't help but ask.
"Unfortunately, even with the spirit-gathering array set up by the shopkeeper, the concentration of spiritual energy in the lower realm is still insufficient!"
The group of kids racked their brains, but still couldn't figure out Xue Lan's plan.
Xue Lan looked at the crowd in front of her, her eyes crinkling with a smile:
"The mind of the workshop master is unfathomable, so don't overthink it. Since you have already been chosen by me, spend the next two days wandering around the Xuanhuang Sect. After the disciple competition ends, I will personally lead you into the Wan Gong Workshop."
The surrounding boys obediently dispersed, leaving only Yuan Zhen by Xue Lan's side in the end.
The boy looked at the "Heaven-Forging Technique" in Xue Lan's hand, his eyes filled with anticipation:
"Master, I want to start as soon as possible."
"Why start so early? Go play somewhere else!"
"Isn't it nice to act like a little kid?"
Poor Yuan Zhen was chased aside by the vicious shop owner. The boy kept looking back at the "Heaven Forging Technique" in Xue Lan's hand.
Xue Lan: "Go ahead and play, I beg you, go ahead and play!"
Only after Yuan Zhen stopped turning around did Xue Lan raise her hand and open the book "The Heaven-Forging Technique".
The pages were pale and empty, without a single word.
The lord of the workshop took out a brush and ink from his sleeve:
"Let's write the first volume first, and let him practice the first volume first."
