Rise Of Evil Sword God Chapter 225 - Testing The Disciples

Chapter 225 - Testing The Disciples

"When I got the news that you have conquered the Profound Blossom Sect I come here to see it myself. Your strength is really increasing day by day, I have not seen you for a few months, and you have already become so powerful." Liu Mingxia looked at the face of Feng Yun in astonishment.
She was once again amazed by the talent of Feng Yun.
"Feng Yun, I have heard that you're going to establish the weapon hall in the sect." Liu Mingxia asked curiously.
"Yes, for now, I'm teaching some disciples, after a few days, I will select some of them who have good potential in becoming the weapon refiner." Feng Yun said.
"Oh! Good, if you need any help then tell me." Liu Mingxia said.
"Sister Liu, now that you have mentioned it. Actually, there is something I need from you. I need a large number of refining materials to build the weapon hall. And your phoenix treasure pavilion could solve this problem easily.
"Oh, it is not a problem, I will inform my workers, as it was not some high level materials, they will gather all the refining material you need in a few days." Liu Mingxia confidently said. She has a broad network, it was easy for her to gather these materials without even doing work herself.
"Great." Feng Yun said.
...
On the next day.
"This is a book on the basics of refining. Take a good look when you get back, I want you to memorize all contents written on the book as soon as possible." Feng Yun said as he handed a copy of a book to each disciple.
Because the disciples had never interacted with artifact refining before, they lacked knowledge on this aspect.
Feng Yun written down all basic knowledge, the introduction of refining materials has neatly written down in the book. Feng Yun specially prepared these books for disciples.
He divided the training of the disciples into three simple steps, the first step was to prepare the refining materials, the second step was to control the fire and the third step was to train the spirit pattern.
As for the first step, it was to understand and easy to accomplish. The most difficult part was the second step and the third step.
Once the control of the fire was not good enough, all previous effects would be wasted, so controlling the fire was very important. The third step, training the spirit pattern when engraving the spirit pattern on the weapon to determining the rank of the weapon.
The batter spirit patterns, the better the weapon.
The disciples kept the books and nodded.
After Feng Yun taught weapons refining to the disciples daily for the next seven days, the disciples also showing their full attention in learning.
There a few good disciples who have talent in weapon refining. Although their talent is far less compared to the monstrous Feng Yun, they could become a notable figure in the future if they put their best efforts.
From Feng Yun's estimation, they could easily become grade four weapon refiners, if they got proper teachings.
But there was no weapon refiner here except Feng Yun and Feng Yun didn't have enough time to teach them, he would go back to the Mystic Heaven Peak later.
In the field, Feng Yun and the disciples gathered, today was the last of his teaching.
"Have you read the entire book and memorize its content." Feng Yun asked.
"Yes." The disciples nodded in unison. It was not difficult for the disciples to memorize the book as a cultivator's learning ability was far superior to a mortal.
"Well good." Feng Yun nodded, "Before starting the real test, I want to check your knowledge."
"I have brought a hundred types of refining material today to check your memory, if you can identify the correct name of more than fifty materials, then you passed otherwise you fail." Feng Yun said.
Many refining ores in the world looked exactly the same from their outer appearance, but they possessed completely different property.
If one wanted to become a weapon refiner, he needed to memorize the thousands of types of refining material with their properties.
If they could not even identify the correct name and properties of fifty ores from hundred ores, they are not qualified to become a weapon refiner.
"Okay, let's start. Don't even think about cheating, the consequence would be dire." Feng Yun warned with a cold voice.
Disciples have started to examine the refining materials then write them down on paper before handing them to Feng Yun.
"Fail."
"Pass."
"Pass."
"Fail."
"Fail."
After more than four hours the identification of the material ended. Every disciple who failed to identify the ores has a dejected expression as they left the test area. On the other hand, who passed have excited expression.
Feng Yun found some good candidates who marked higher than eighty points, but he still didn't find anyone special who could attract his attention.
In the crowd, a young girl aged seventeen, the height of five feet, short brown hair with a cute face, was wearing the uniform of the outer court, Mid-Foundation Establishment realm cultivation.
She submitted her work in the last.
Qian Niu was a direct disciple of Tian Mingzhu, she didn't have much interest in refining, but her master persuaded her, so she also joined the lecture of Feng Yun. But as she explores the world of refining, her interest started to grow in learning the refining.
She worked hard to memorize the entire book given by Feng Yun, listened to his lecture with great attention.
"Huh," As Feng Yun checked her paper, he surprised slightly, soon his surprise turned into the amazed, she was able to identify ninety-eight ores with their properties.
'Well, finally a good disciple has appeared.' Feng Yun thought in his mind. He examined the girl in front of him.
"What is your name?" Feng Yun looked at little lolita and asked with a smile.
"Replied to Elder Feng, this disciple is called Qian Niu." Qian Niu suddenly felt nervous being stared at by Feng Yun, she replied polity.
"Good, you did good, you have scored top amongst all disciples." Feng Yun nodded while smiling.
"Really." Qian Niu was surprised a bit as she exclaimed with a delighted expression.
After sending her off, Feng Yun once again glanced at all the remaining disciples. There were more than two hundred disciples from the start now half of them remained.
"As I have already told you that if one wanted to become a good weapon refiner, he needs two things most, one control over his/her fire and second, comprehension ability while learning how to engrave the spirit patterns."
"Without proper control over the fire, you can't control heat while refining, and You need powerful comprehension ability to learn array formation and engrave the formation pattern on the weapons." Feng Yun said.
"In the test, I will test both of these. You will use these simple ores to melt to show me your fire-controlling ability and to test your comprehension ability, you all have to engrave a spirit pattern on a weapon." Feng Yun said.
"Okay, let's start." Feng Yun said, "Now come forward and show me your performance."
A dozen of cauldron already placed in the field for the test.
As Feng Yun gave a green signal, a young man comes forward, he scored eighty plus on the identification test.
With a confident expression, the young man picked up the refining materials, after placing them in the cauldron, he started melting the ores.
With him, few other disciples also moved forward and started showing their performance.
The lolita Qian Liu also picked up one of the cauldrons and started refining. Her movement was steady like she has practiced this many times before.
Feng Yun spreads his divine senses and inspects the cauldron of every disciple, a few of them has already made a mistake from the start.
They couldn't control their fire in the cauldron, some disciples have an overly intense fire while some disciple's fire could not raise the temperature of the entire cauldron.
Feng Yun calmly observes the situation not bothering them.
"Feng Yun, how is it going?" At this time, someone approached Feng Yun, as he turned around, he saw a few figures appeared.
Yan Qiu, Tian Mingzhu, Elder Qin, and a few other elders have arrived. The one who just asked was Yan Qiu.
"Well bad from their standard." Feng Yun said lightly.
"Oh! I have expected it after there was not a single weapon refiner master in the sect." Yan Qiu nodded, "Anyone special that caught your eyes."
"Hm, one person for now." Feng Yun said while pointed towards the little lolita Qian Liu, "Her performance is top until now."
"Huh, Feng Yun, are you sure about her?" Tian Mingzhu couldn't help asked with a surprised voice.
"What happened? Do you know her?" Feng Yun asked.
"Well, I know her, she is my personal disciple." Tian Mingzhu said.
