Yang Yan's face looked a little ugly. Out of the five materials, her grandson succeeded at most four times, and Li Yang succeeded five times.
"That's right, who said just now that talent in weapon refining is not equivalent to understanding? If you are a waste, don't think that others are also waste."
Wang Zhong sneered unceremoniously.
Yang Yan's face turned the color of pig liver. This was a slap in the face. She couldn't refute it. The facts were before her eyes.
"Junior Brother Li, if I remember correctly, you have only been studying weapon refining with Uncle Wang for half a year!"
Zhou Yuting's face looked a little strange.
The same second-level weapon refining master taught the art of weapon refining, and the learning time was not long. She succeeded three times with five materials. Zhou Yuting just passed. This result is not bad, but compared with Li Yang, she is far behind.
As soon as he said this, everyone present except Wang Zhong was shocked.
After half a year of studying weapon refining, I got a perfect score in the weapon refining test. I must have maxed out my talent!
"Master Nephew Li, you have only been learning weapon refining for half a year?"
Xu Xuan asked in disbelief.
"Strictly speaking, it was less than half a year. A month ago, I stopped teaching and asked him to practice refining weapons. He took a month's assessment. I didn't expect that! Junior Nephew Li has a very high understanding and a high talent for refining weapons."
Wang Zhong showed approval and smiled.
Before coming here, Li Yang said he failed six times before succeeding once.
Wang Zhong had already thought about it. As long as Li Yang succeeded once, he would continue to teach Li Yang how to refine weapons. After all, it was Du Yunhai who spoke personally.
Li Yang's performance exceeded Wang Zhong's expectations. Wang Zhong had found a treasure.
"Exactly!"
Li Yang nodded honestly. If he had known this, he would have failed once and not be so conspicuous.
Without Qianyang True Flame, it would be good if he could succeed three times.
"This is a generation of talented people! Not bad! Congratulations! Senior Brother Wang."
Xu Xuan opened his mouth to congratulate him, his face full of envy.
Yang Yan took a deep breath and ordered: "Xiande, Xianzhi, let's go!"
She strode out, and Liu Xiande and Liu Xianzhi quickly followed.
"Junior Brother Li, the day after tomorrow is my birthday. Come to Zizhuyuan for a glass of wine when you have time."
Zhou Yuting sent an invitation.
"Nothing will happen the day after tomorrow. You can move freely."
Wang Zhong said.
"Okay, I will definitely go there."
Li Yang agreed.
"Master Nephew Zhou and Master Nephew Li, from today on, you are the first-level weapon refiners certified by our Qianyang Sect. This is an identity token. You must shed your blood to recognize the master!"
The old man in green robe took out two square red tokens and asked Zhou Yuting and Li Yang to shed their blood to identify their owners.
Zhou Yuting and Li Yang admitted their master with bloodshed in front of them and put them away.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here, nephew Li, just do what you need to do! Come back to Chizhu Garden in a month. I have something to tell you."
Wang Zhong ordered.
Li Yang agreed, bowed to the foundation-building monks present, turned and left.
After leaving the Qianhuo Hall, Li Yang sacrificed the Xuanhuo Boat and left here.
Back at his residence, Li Yang walked into the practice room.
He sat down cross-legged and started practicing his exercises.
Not long after, a golden glow appeared on Li Yang's body, covering his whole body and he closed his eyes.
······
In a quiet manor, Yang Yan was sitting in a stone pavilion, holding a red shell in her hand.
"Junior Brother Li, I want to know everything about Li Yang, including his relatives, friends, monastic life, etc. I want to keep it secret and don't make it known to everyone."
Yang Yan said.
"No problem, it's a trivial matter, Senior Sister Yang."
A cheerful male voice sounded.
"To find out more, come to Jin Yanyuan and tell me. I will not miss out on your benefits."
Yang Yan warned.
"Okay, got it."
The man agreed.
Yang Yan put away the red shell, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
······
Two days passed quickly, Zizhuyuan.
In a quiet courtyard, four men and two women sat in a stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting. Zhou Yuting, Zhou Yuxian and Liu Tong were walking inside.
"Cousin Yuting, hasn't Junior Brother Li arrived yet?"
A girl in a blue dress with delicate features asked with a sweet voice.
Zhao Xuewei is at the eighth level of Qi refining and is one year older than Zhou Yuting.
"Junior Brother Li promised to come and will definitely come. It's still early."
Zhou Yuting said.
"Junior Brother Li is very talented in magic. I have long wanted to get to know him."
A gentle young man in a white shirt said with a smile.
Zhao Xuefeng, Zhao Xuewei’s brother.
"If cousin Yu Ting hadn't said it herself, I wouldn't have expected that Junior Brother Li is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very talented in weapon refining."
A tall man in a blue shirt spoke with a loud voice.
Lu Yiming, nine levels of Qi refining, body cultivation.
Zhou Yuxian nodded and said, "Yes! It's hard to imagine that Yuting would find Junior Brother Li, whom she knew from her skills training."
Zhou Yuting took out a shell with flashing red light and inserted a spell into it. Li Yang's voice sounded: "Senior Sister Zhou, I'm here."
"I'll bring Junior Brother Li in!"
Zhou Yuxian took the initiative to ask for help, got up and walked out.
"Junior Brother Li, please wait a moment, my cousin will pick you up."
Zhou Yuting said.
"good."
Li Yang agreed.
Zhou Yuting put away the communication shell and said with a smile: "Junior brother Li is here."
Not long after, Li Yang followed Zhou Yuxian and walked in.
"Little brother Li Yang, I have met all the senior brothers and sisters."
Li Yang clasped his hands and introduced himself.
Zhao Xuewei and others reported their names one after another, and they were considered acquaintances.
"Senior Sister Zhou, today is your birthday. These weapon refining materials are a little bit of my heart. Please accept them."
Li Yang took out a red storage bag and handed it to Zhou Yuting.
With Zhou Yuting's conditions, she didn't lack anything at all. She happened to be learning to refine weapons, so Li Yang gave her some weapons refinement materials.
"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Li."
Zhou Yuting thanked her, accepted the storage bag, and asked Li Yang to sit down.
"Junior brother Li, try the purple grape wine. It has the effect of strengthening the physical body."
Lu Yiming picked up the wine flask and poured a glass of spiritual wine for Li Yang.
The wine was purple in color and exuded a strange fruity aroma.
Li Yang took a sip and it was sweet in his mouth. After a while, his body felt slightly warm.
Liu Tong took out an exquisite food box from the storage bag, took out nine vegetables and one soup, and placed it on the stone table.
"We toast to Junior Sister Zhou and wish Junior Sister Zhou a happy birthday."
Liu Tong suggested, raising his glass.
Li Yang and others raised their wine glasses, clinked them, and drank up the spiritual wine in the glasses.
They exchanged glasses and chatted.
When talking about practicing magic, Zhao Xuewei asked curiously: "Junior brother Li, do you have any experience in practicing magic? Can you tell us about it?"
"I don't have much experience. I just spend a certain amount of time practicing the technique every day, that's all."
Li Yang said.
"It's different to have talent. My cousin also spends time practicing magic every day. He is the same age as Junior Brother Li, but he has only practiced three first-level spells to perfection."
Zhao Xuefeng showed admiration.
"If you have high talent, you can achieve great results with a little effort. If you have low talent, no matter how hard you work, it will be difficult to catch up with those with high talent."
Lu Yiming sighed.
