"Needs to be polished thoroughly," Red-browded Sage nodded in agreement.
Unknowingly, Yu'an always felt that the Red-browed Monk's eyes, hidden beneath those red eyebrows, were watching him. He subconsciously ducked his head.
He is still a cultivator at the Qi-refining period, and he has cultivation in his body. The swollen pig head that was slapped by his uncle yesterday has already swollen much less.
But as he shrugged his shoulders, his posture became somewhat unsightly. Since the young man was not very tall, Red-browed Sage saw him as somewhat unrefined.
Glanced at the Jade Pavilion, then at Yu'an, the Red-browed Monk sighed inwardly.
Younger brother of the same tribe, both of them possess dual spiritual roots, how could there be such a huge difference between people?
Alright, let's just add it on.
"After drinking your tea and accepting the tribute you sent, as my student's teacher, I should also offer you a gift for becoming a disciple."
As he spoke, the Red-browed Monk reached into his storage bag.
"Red-browed Brother, it's not necessary. You're too polite. Our two children are sincere in their desire to become your disciples, and the tribute is what is expected in a master-disciple relationship, so there's no need to send any gifts for the ceremony."
"True Disciple Dedication"
"Offering a Gift for Becoming a Disciple is Proper"
Seeing Red-browed Sage was about to burst coins, Wang Rongyuan hurriedly added a sentence.
Forcefully straighten up.
The prison bell, the tribute we gave you is quite sufficient, you can't be too stingy!
We are all dignified people, aren't we?
Zhong Tianshu's face slightly hesitated, and the hand in his storage bag, which was reaching towards the direction of low-grade magical items, changed its direction to the one holding mid-grade magical items.
Old Wang, you're really a dog!
Whether it's a horizontal or vertical situation, it's just about feeding the dogs!
The Wang family is powerful, and I've already taken so many spirit stones. The tribute given is sufficient, and the mid-grade magical items have been sent out... Let's just consider it even.
Counting it up, these two young disciples are also part of my disciples.
Thus, a rare scene unfolded in the hall of Hua Fengjiao.
All the cultivators watched Red-browed with a mixture of curiosity and intrigue, wondering what sort of initiation gift this extreme low-end version of the Multi-Treasure Taoist would give to his disciples.
Here, Red-browed Monk's large hand groped inside the storage bag, patting and searching.
Fumbling around, Red-browed Monk was calculating in his mind.
Hmm, this flying sword is too expensive. Giving it to these two is a waste, no matter who it is for.
This zaoshan stone still has the potential for further refinement and imposition of seals......I don't want to give them up.
After a long while, the Red-browed Monk finally smiled and reached into the storage bag, pulling out a dark, black bead.
This bead is about the size of a chicken egg, completely black, and looks unremarkable, seemingly not a particularly powerful magical item.
Raising the dark bead in his hand, Zhong Tianshu trembled the meat on his cheeks, smiling brightly and started to explain.
"Yulou, this child has a Water-Fire spiritual root, um..."
This middle-grade ink-black jade bead is just right for you. Although it's not a domineering item for combat, it can accompany you to the late Qi-refining stage.
It is made of a complete ninth-grade ink jade, which can hold up to thirteen layers of seals. In the future, if you refine the Dao successfully, you can refine it into a precious middle-grade magical item.
I have already refined nine layers of seals within it, which can contain nine hundred catties of fire oil. It is in harmony with your Water-Fire nature and, when activated with spells, its power is greatly enhanced.
However, you must not use it to fight against sharp and sturdy magical items. Even mediocre low-level magic swords with five to six layers of seals can damage it.
A middle-grade magical item with nine layers of seals!
Even though it's just an entry-level middle-grade item and lacks combat prowess, it is still a middle-grade item!
Wang Rongyuan, a high-level cultivator of the Practicing Stage in the Wang family, currently uses a magical item with a maximum of twenty-one layers of seals - he is an elder of the Wang family's transmission hall and an excellent cultivator in battle!
The scarcity of magical items has two main reasons: damage from combat and difficulty in manufacturing.
Without mentioning the damage from combat, the difficulty of manufacturing alone is enough to make many solitary cultivators yearn for a middle-grade magical item.
The refining of spiritual materials has a failure rate, and the seals of magical items are an unshared secret of every alchemist and cultivation faction.
The Wang family spent a lot of money sending their two most gifted and esteemed children to Red-browed Sage, recognizing the expertise he possesses in the refinement of fire magical items and the sealing techniques associated with them.
Wu Jinyan and Tang Nianqiu next to them were drooling.
This is the arrogance of a top-level alchemist in the Practicing Stage?
Master Zhong, we now want to go back and refine ourselves anew, becoming your disciples. Is it too late?
Presenting a middle-grade magical item as a gift for becoming a disciple, Master Zhong Tianshu's generosity was so overwhelming that it directly impressed the head of the Wu family, who is also at the Practicing Stage.
A middle-grade magical item with nine layers of seals, at the very least, requires over 200 spirit stones.
That's just how expensive it is!
No, from now on, we'll have to renegotiate the price for the gold and stone spiritual materials supplied to Hua Fengjiao!
"Thank you, Master, for the treasure! Yulou will never forget the teachings of my teacher!"
Yulou lifted her hands high, somewhat excitedly, receiving the ink-black jade bead gifted by Red-browed Monk.
The quality of a magical item is influenced not only by the number of seals, its grade, and the material differences but also by another important factor—its suitability.
As a Water-Fire dual spiritual root, Wang Yulou will definitely practice Qi-refining and the spiritual energy he will cultivate in the future will definitely be of the Water-Fire attribute.
This ink-black jade bead made from ink jade can hold fire oil to aid in battle. Fire oil is naturally water-based, but once ignited, it becomes fire-based.
Two words - perfect!
Moreover, there are still four levels left unsealed in the thirteen-layered seal limit, and if four more layers are refined, the effect of the ink-black jade bead can be even more powerful!
Yulou had obtained her treasure, and now it was Yu'an's turn. The young boy looked expectantly at his cheap master.
But... the look in Red-browed Monk's eyes towards him was a bit complicated.
You kid, your face could be swollen for a reason yesterday.
Since entering Hua Fengjiao, how many glances has he shot at my daughter?
Are you polite?
Feeling somewhat agitated, but with so many friends and relatives present, the today's ceremony is also conducted rather gracefully, so Red-browed Sage wouldn't want to cause a scene.
Therefore, he rummaged through his storage bag and finally came up with a special defensive treasure.
In the eyes of the puzzled crowd, Red-browed Sage held up the special defensive treasure and explained.
"Yuan, you are a child of Jin-Tu spiritual root. There aren't many middle-grade magical items in my collection that suit Jin-Tu spiritual root.
The shell of this golden horned turtle is a special spiritual material with both golden bones and excellent hardness, which is indestructible by ordinary low-grade magical items.
I've refined it a bit, and it currently has three layers of seals. Although it's a low-grade magical item, its upper limit can be refined to fifteen layers of seals, which will be even more powerful than Yulou's ink-black jade bead in the future.
Come on, take it well. With this, even if you encounter your enemies, you'll be unharmed.
Red-browed Monk: You kid, you'll definitely cause a scandal because of love and relationships, but I'm only doing this for your own good!
At that time, when others attack you, you can offer up this turtle shell to take cover and defend yourself, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Taking the turtle shell from Red-browed Monk, Yu'an looked somewhat confused.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
Why is Yulou's a middle-grade magical item, but mine is just a low-grade one...
Yu'an felt wronged, but Yu'an didn't know why.
Some Yulou couldn't help but smile from the side.
Although this defensive magical item is indeed rare and Red-browed Sage is particularly generous,......
Golden horned mud turtle - Jenny the turtle.
Hard to keep a straight face.
Yuan, you seem to have everything in life now.
"All right, Red-browed friend has gained a fine disciple, and Yulou and Yuan'an have found good masters. Now for the third bow, the initiation ceremony..."
Tang Nianqiu was about to say 'The initiation ceremony is over,' but he was interrupted by an unexpected guest who rushed into Hua Fengjiao.
"Bang!"
The formation outside Hua Fengjiao is set to be vigilant but not to block people.
The unexpected guest did not knock on the door but directly kicked it open!
The person was dressed in a red lantern-embroidered outer door disciple robe, wearing an artifact but not a crown, and had a mid-grade magical item-grade locking spirit rope tied around their waist, looking quite imposing.
He used his triangular eyes to sweep the crowd inside the hall, stopping on Wang Rongyuan for a moment, as if he was surprised, but still arrogantly opened his mouth.
"Oh? Old Tang is also here. That's great, it saves me from making a trip to Zhewei Pavilion!"
