"Elder Gongshu has any objections?"

The eldest lady's voice came from behind the bead curtain, which seemed to carry an undeniable meaning.

"At this age and cultivation level, he dares to apply for a craftsman. Either he is arrogant or has real ability. If it is the former, we don't have to be polite to him, and if it's the latter, we don't have to stick to common sense."

"That being said, but..." Gong Shuyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and smiled wryly, "That is a magic weapon that is expected to become a treasure, what if that person breaks it if he is ignorant? "

"This brocade dress was custom-made by Meishan Tieshouqiu. If it is not delivered on time, it will be useless." The eldest lady said indifferently, "What's the point of giving it a try? If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. Just leave it to Senior Qiu. Could it be that we can still find Elder Rong, who is suing the sick, to take care of this matter?"

Gong Shuyuan was stunned for a long time, and just now he figured out the key point, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Missy is wise!"

"Wisdom, isn't it all forced and helpless? You go and prepare, and I'll check it out later."

"Yes, miss." Gong Shuyuan cupped his hands, with a complicated expression on his face, and retreated.

"Whoa..."

Not long after Gong Shuyuan left, the beaded curtain was pushed aside, and a glamorous woman in a yellow dress and beaded hairpin came out.

She looked at the courtyard outside the door, thoughtfully.

***

Li Wan, who was sitting in the other room waiting, soon saw Gong Shuyuan come back.

Gong Shuyuan apologized to him, with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Li Xiaoyou, we already know your sincerity, but the rules cannot be broken. If you want to join, you have to pass the formal school examination."

Li Wandao: "This is a matter of course, why do you need to say more, just do what Elder Gongshu tells you."

Gong Shuyuan coughed lightly, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak: "This time, as a rule, Li Xiaoyou is asked to forge a magic weapon by himself. Li Xiaoyou should also know that the most fundamental thing for a craftsman is the skill at hand. .”

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Li Wan couldn't help being slightly stunned: "What does your workshop want me to refine, Elder Gongshu might as well just say it outright."

"It's Firescale Brocade Clothes." Gong Shuyuan finally said it.

Soon, Li Wan knew why Gong Shuyuan hesitated.

This magic weapon named Fire Scale Jinshang is not an ordinary thing, but an unfinished rare magic weapon.

Gong Shuyuan took him to a single courtyard in the square. The courtyard was surrounded by high walls. Outside the walls, there was a monk's aura. It seemed that a group of people were patrolling and guarding the area at any time.

Li Wan also faintly felt that there were many spirit stones buried in the surrounding ground, which formed the foundation of the array, and the huge vitality of heaven and earth was condensed into a ball, guarded by powerful restrictions in the dark.

"This is the work place of the craftsmen in the workshop. The tools needed for crafting are prepared inside. If there are any medicines and tools that need to be used in unique techniques, you can ask the servants and apprentices to send them. If you are interested in applying, just If you are unable to refine this Firescale Brocade Clothes here, you’d better make it clear in advance.”

Gong Shuyuan led Li Wan into the courtyard, which contained all the tongs and stoves, and on a table near the inner room, there was a fiery red soft armor with scales. The breath rushed towards him.

On the side of the table, there are a few full boxes filled with similar scales, which seem to be peeled off from monsters and used as materials for refining equipment, and next to them are various crystal ores and ointments.

In addition, on a wooden shelf beside the stage, everything has long been emptied, leaving only a long brocade box.

Gong Shuyuan pointed to the brocade box and said, "In it is the picture book of this fire-scale brocade dress."

"This fire-scale brocade dress seems to have been mostly completed. Now I want to complete it for others according to someone else's map?" Seeing this situation, Li Wan couldn't help asking, "This seems a bit out of order."

The atlas of the magic weapon is the painstaking effort of the craftsman. It is not only necessary for the design of the magic weapon, but also often records some inspirations in it, which is equivalent to a unique secret book.

This kind of thing can never be shown lightly to people.

Gong Shuyuan also guessed that Li Wan had this question, and explained: "This atlas is owned by Guifang. I let you see it, so you can just read it. As for the person who was originally in charge of this matter... he is currently recuperating from illness, and I will hand it over to you. You are not breaking the rules, just rest assured."

Hearing what the owner said, Li Wan nodded and said, "That's good, how much time do I have to finish it?"

Refining magic weapons takes time and effort, and most good magic weapons are accumulated through the accumulation of natural resources, earthly treasures, time and energy.

Gong Shuyuan said: "You have three months."

Li Wan pondered for a moment, and said: "Three months is not too short, okay, I agree, but before that, should we talk about it first, if you are recruited as a craftsman in the workshop, what's the difference?" treatment?"

Gong Shuyuan was not at all surprised by Li Wan's question, what was surprising was that he really had the guts to agree.

"If this person is not a real genius, he is a lunatic who is not afraid of death..."

At this time, Gongshu Yuan's doubts about Li Wan's bluffing and deception have also been greatly reduced. After all, he knows that he has to complete a semi-finished magic weapon by himself, and he can be so calm.

Fools should also know what the consequences will be if they play Tiangongfang in this Wushan League.

"Our treatment, in the whole Tiannan, can be said to be good."

Speaking of this, Gong Shuyuan showed some pride in his tone.

"At the beginning, the monthly salary was [-] Lingyu. If there was no separate work piece, you could take a [-]-day off every month, leaving only [-] days to sit in the field. Sitting in the town means supervising apprentices, giving a little advice, and only needing to work for half a day every day. .

If there is a single workpiece, within the specified date, you can freely control the time. The workshop only asks for the final completion, and the piece is paid. The refiner can see the quality of the completion, ranging from [-]% to [-]%. Artifacts, you can also get extra rewards. These rewards have been established, but the situation is complicated, and I can’t explain it at the moment. If you want to know more, I will show you later. "

A monthly salary of [-], a [-]-day shift, working half a day, free control, piece rate commission, extra rewards...

These kinds of preferential treatment were all unexpected by Li Wan. He had heard that the craftsmen were a group of quite wealthy monks, but he did not expect that the treatment would be so great.

But after thinking about it, Li Wan understood again.

In today's world, the way of immortality is prosperous, and there are people who cultivate and ask questions everywhere, especially the disciples who refine Qi and build foundations.

The magic weapon is the utensils they use, just as the preface of "Qi Zong Da Dian" said, although it is not harmful to one's life, it can protect one's body, fight and kill, and even use utensils to enter Taoism.

With a few high-quality magic weapons in hand, the hope of becoming enlightened is a little higher, so why don't monks pursue them?

And if you want to become a craftsman, you must learn such things as dao pattern, seal, restriction, formation, and talisman. Then you must have the treasures of heaven and earth, long-term time and energy, and you can achieve something. Not everyone is suitable. .

"Being a craftsman is not something you want to do... it depends more on your talent.

Cultivators are supposed to be brave and diligent, to participate in the cultivation of surnames, and [-]% of their talents, time and energy have to be spent on the righteous path of the Jindan Dao. Except for a very few wizards, who doesn't cultivate the Dao first?

As a result, outstanding craftsmen are really rare. "

After figuring this out, Li Wan can also understand why magic weapons are mostly expensive, and the status of a craftsman is far superior to that of ordinary monks.

This can also be said to be the compensation of the entire comprehension world for those who are concentrating on cultivating the Dao of Qi, which takes time and energy and makes it difficult to achieve Dao.

Although many people understand that craftsmen have a high status and are easy to make money, but they are rarely envious, and it is even more difficult to make up their minds to step into this path.

At this moment, Li Wan couldn't help but waver a little, whether it was right for him to step into this path from the beginning.

But thinking of the "Qi Zong Da Canon" that he had obtained, it seemed to be God's will in the dark, so he nodded his head and made up his mind.

"I understand, Elder Gongshu, finish it within three months, right? I can do it."

His expression and tone were very indifferent, as if he didn't take this magic weapon seriously.

Gongshu Yuandao: "There is no evidence for what we say. We can make a document first, and then we can start. After signing the document for three months, you will live here in the workshop, and people will visit and inspect every day. ... I wonder if Li Xiaoyou minds?"

Li Wandao: "The unique techniques of a craftsman are mostly inner qigong techniques, as well as methods such as urging real fire and blending secret medicines. Avoid."

Li Wan was not surprised by this. After all, the workshop is a place for refining treasures, and all kinds of natural materials and treasures are piled up like a mountain. What if the young people sneak in just to steal the treasures?

Tiangongfang's method is to set up restrictions everywhere and closely monitor it. Since it is explained in advance, it is understandable.

Hearing this, Gong Shuyuan heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The refiner has a high status and is an important member of Tiangongfang. It would be very troublesome to resist these surveillance. Fortunately, Li Wan is still a sensible person and has no eccentricities.

Li Wan said again at this time: "I can establish a letter with Guifang as evidence, but there is one thing that I want to make clear first."

Gong Shuyuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have friends in the city. I want to go back and tell them. Also, I have some trivial matters that I haven't taken care of recently. I have to settle them first before coming here."

Once you enter the workshop and start working, it is equivalent to retreat, and it is human nature to finish trivial matters before that.

Gong Shuyuan nodded and said: "Yes, but it can't be too long. I will give you ten days at most. After ten days, you will have to report here."

Li Wan thought for a while: "Ten days, okay, just ten days."

The two parties made an agreement, and immediately set up a letter as proof, and then Gong Shuyuan personally sent him out, watching him disappear among the crowd.

"Whether it's a liar or a genius... After ten days, you will know." Gong Shuyuan touched the written evidence in his sleeve, and thought to himself, "I just don't know, whether you dare to come back."
