章節 129: Pill Genius Zhang Did the Wrong Thing (6)
"First Senior Zhang, why you're here?" the disciple that came out to receive Liu Xin Xin was puzzled by Zhang Wu Ji's attendance.
"Oh, I'm not here for the meeting, it's a coincidence..." Zhang Wu Ji replied, but before he's done...
"Junior Cai, why didn't First Seat of First Heaven Mountain did not get the invitation? You'll have to tell the others to explain this matter to me!" Liu Xin Xin revealed her angered look.
"Senior sister Liu, please do not get angry. Please come in first, it's not a good thing for the outsiders to see this scene..." the disciple name Cai quickly leads them into the Private Third Floor.
The pagoda was a five floored tall building. On every floor is a special team of chefs, waitresses, and managers that highly efficient and capable of handling the needs of different customers.
For starters, they're usually escorted to the Ground Floor, where the number of tables exceeds two hundred. They're packed, but because of how delicious is the food prepared by this restaurant, nobody complained.
As for the disciples of the sect, they immediately qualified to enter the Second Floor, where the number of tables, decoration, and even waitresses is all well trained to handle the needs of their special guest. Of course, the meals are even better, with most of them can help in enhancing the cultivation and body.
The third floor is especially reserve for Elders, Hall Elders, and private function. Unless it was attended by an elder class figure, this floor is usually close to public and disciples.
But today, one-eighth of the third floor is opened for the Blacksmithing Faction's meeting. Of course, as the Blacksmithing Faction is under the jurisdiction of Master Jiang Lei himself, this allows them to book this room easily without too much hassle.
"Junior brother Ye, Junior brother Tian, please explain about the reason Junior brother Zhang is not invited to this Banquet." Liu Xin Xin immediately questions the Faction Leader and Faction Vice Leader.
"Senior sister Liu! Please allow Ye Yunyi to answer you." a two meters tall figure step forward and stands before them. He's Ye Yunyi, First Heaven Mountain's third seat.
"Go ahead!" Liu Xin Xin gets ready to sit right on the spot they stand. Being her most efficient assistant, Zheng Kai vanished the moment Ye Yunyi speaks and came back with a chair.
"You can do that? Cool!" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised at how arrogant is Liu Xin Xin. But what he does not understand is, why did she call the others Junior?
As a First Seat himself, shouldn't he become the eldest senior in the whole First Heaven Mountain?
"Shh... First Senior Zhang." Zheng Kai whispered before Ye Yunyi starts.
"Yes?" he replied.
"Senior sister Liu is a member of Second Heaven Mountain now." Zheng Kai said.
"Really? No wonder everyone is her junior now." as a First Seat, he actually doesn't know about her promotion into the Second Heaven Mountain.
"Senior sister Liu. Our members tried to send him an invitation but look like
First Senior Zhang is in his seclusion. As we speak now, I think the member that went to his residence should be on his way back now." Ye Yunyi answered.
"Did junior brother Zhang entered a seclusion training recently?" Liu Xin Xin turned her attention to this youth.
"Reporting to Senior sister Liu. Yes," he answered honestly.
"Understood. Junior brother Ye, it's my mistake to be so impolite, please feel free to ask for a favor as long I can do it for the Blacksmithing Faction." Liu Xin Xin said.
As the misunderstanding is now clarified, Zhang Wu Ji takes the opportunity to enjoy the free meal instead. There were more than fifty kinds of dishes served throughout the banquet, and Zhang Wu Ji enjoyed all of them before he regrets.
"First Senior Zhang. Since everyone is here at the moment, how about you guide us with some experiences in your blacksmithing?" Ye Yunyi came up with a suggestion.
"Junior brother Ye, you're praising me too much. My skills in Blacksmithing may not better than everyone here." Zhang Wu Ji knows that this is how their faction tried to headhunt new members. And to make sure that he's what everyone says, a test must be done.
The only thing is, instead of stating that this is a test, they prefer to use sharing experience instead.
"If that's the case... How about this First Seat shares his insignificant technique in shaping an Iron Ore?" Zhang Wu Ji offered, but the moment Iron Ore came up, the others has a tendency to laugh.
But, with Senior Sister Liu Xin Xin is here, nobody dares to do what they wanted to do.
"Iron Ore? Then, Iron Ore, it is! Prepare the material for First Senior to start!" Ye Yunyi waved his hand. The order quickly processed with a good number of mineral ore with Iron vein inside.
"Brother Zhang, do you need us to..." Ye Yunyi offered to provide him with some essential tools, but Zhang Wu Ji stopped him from finishing his word with a wave of his hand.
Furnace, Anvil, Iron Casting Mold, and some other tools. To make it even better, Zhang Wu Ji withdraws a small stack of Flame Rock and not Firestones. Everyone present knows that Flame Rock is inexpensive but rare.
This is due to the fire Element Vein covering this Middle South State is monopolized by the Flame Burial Sect. As the main competitor of the Two Sect Category, the Flame Burial Sect survive depends on the Mortal Flame they controlled.
Furthermore, one of the Flame Burial Sect's main product is an extremely rich of Fire Element Blazing Fire Fragment. This treasure is known to be the best fire source above the Mortal Flame, which is said to be the best to refine the 3rd-Tier Gold Metal.
"How many stacks of Flame Rock he possesses?" the audience stares at the Wooden Universal Plate he took out. Unknown if its accident or on purpose, Zhang Wu Ji took out almost twenty stacks of the Flame Rock before he stored all of them back into his Wooden Universal Plate and leaving one outside.
"Nine Layer Fighter Flame!" under the watchful eyes of the audience, he suddenly ignites the Fighter Qi and delivered a hint of Flame energy into the Furnace. Almost instantly, the Furnace was fired to the required heat to smelts Mineral Ores.
Once again, Zhang Wu Ji shocked them with his powerful Physical Body. Using his palm like a Pestle, Zhang Wu Ji breaks the Mineral Ores into powder form before he stuffs them into the Crucible without a set amount.
"That's too reckless. Even my experience doesn't allow me to fill the crucible with the amount of an entire Ingot Full." the Faction Vice Leader Tian Wen Jing comments.
"SHH!!!" Liu Xin Xin warned them to remain quiet. As a member of Liu's Foundry and Mansion, how can her experience in this profession be weaker than the others especially Tian Wen Jing? She can even feel the confidence in Zhang Wu Ji as he works.
Confidently, Zhang Wu Ji fired the furnace until it was perfect in his opinion before he starts pouring the Molten metal into their Casting Mold. He poured a different amount of Molten metal in three different Casting Mold, and when all three crucible's content was transferred into the Casting Mold, he fired them for the last time.
When the firing was done, Zhang Wu Ji immediately removes the Iron Ingot from the Casting Mold before he quenches them to removes the excessive heat.
The results from his one-time process are three 99% Purity Iron Ingots, Pure, Sentient, and Crystal. Each ingot started to attract the spirits to lingers around them until the Spirit Sharpening started!
"Spirit Sharpening! How can three pieces if Iron Ingot causes the phenomena?" the top echelon members of the Blacksmithing Faction questioned the fact.
But everything happening before them is the truth. Three 99% Purity Ingot is fighting with each another for the sake of the Housing. Only when everything is over the situation calmed.
"Weapon Hall's Assistant Elder, please accept this gift on behalf of the Blacksmithing Faction." Zhang Wu Ji extended his hand with the gift to the elder.
This is his meeting, ceremonial, and leaving gifts. Except using the Ingot as an exchange for a Heavenly Iron, he does not have any requirement that required the Iron Ingot at all.
"First Junior Zhang, what does this signify?" the Assistant Elder suspects that Zhang Wu Ji has no intention to join their faction at all.
"Junior Wu Ji is staying here for too long. I have to return to my residence to continue my practice in Pill Forging." Zhang Wu Ji replied as he cupped his hand together.
Without waiting for their reply, he left the Private Room. He left the building in a hurry but still caught by Liu Xin Xin because of their differences in cultivation.
"What are you thinking? How can you push aside the invitation into the Blacksmithing Faction?" Liu Xin Xin cannot believe that this guy actually turns the invitation down before they offered him one!
"Junior Wu Ji still doesn't know what profession he wishes to put more effort, I'm sorry that I caused Senior sister Liu to be disappointed with me." Zhang Wu Ji bowed slightly towards her as he apologizes.
"I have something else that I need you..."
"Do you remember the pickaxe that you gave me?" Liu Xin Xin mentioned.
"Of course," he answered.
"Great. My family like the Pickaxe so much they want me to invite you back to either share or produces some of this tool. Either way, you'll be rewarded with the same gift my family planned to give you." Liu Xin Xin started to speak.
"Thank you for the gift, but Wu Ji might not be interested in it. As for the Pickaxe's blueprint, I wonder can the Liu Family help me to collect a few rarer Medicinal Plant's seeds?" Zhang Wu Ji rejected her invitation to go back to her family, but he's interested in doing business with her.
"Medicinal Plants? Our Liu Mansion plants nine kinds of plants for Pill Forging and Botanist Business, you might be interested." Liu Xin Xin found out that this guy was a complete idiot! How can he not ask about the content of the gift before rejecting her!
"Are you sure you don't want the gift? it's a precious Heritage Skill of my family!" she tried to stir his interest from rejecting her again.
"Oh? Heritage Skill? What is that for?" Zhang Wu Ji was interested in it the moment she mentions the word Heritage. But the next word shocks him so much.
"Our family called it [Vein Listener Art]. Once you comprehend the information recorded in this book, your affinity with the Continent will grow better. It will also allow you to feel the treasure surrounding you." Liu Xin Xin introduces the perk of learning this Art.
Oh... Not interested. I prefer that the Liu Family provides me with a good number of Medicinal Plant's Seeds instead. Let me know when your family agrees." Zhang Wu Ji stated his uninterested opinion about the Heritage Skills and left.
"You! Tell me why did you look down on my family's Heritage Skill!" Liu Xin Xin is angered. If he wasn't willing to come back with her, how can she get access to the Vein Listener Art?
"Is the Vein Listener Art so important?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"Of course! That skill enhances our affinity with the continent and earth, it will be a great use to us as a cultivator... HUH!" Liu Xin Xin describes the importance of the Vein Listener Art but Zhang Wu Ji interrupted her.
[Vein Listener Art]
He took the book up into her eyesight and let her read it's the title.
"That's our family Heritage Skills! How can you possess a copy!" Liu Xin Xin heart races. As a family member of the Liu, how can she not know how the book in her family's Library looks like? The one in her family Library have a red colored cover, but Zhang Wu Ji's version comes with a Green Jade-Colored Cover.
"Senior Sister, if you want to learn this art, I don't mind, but you'll have to study it in my place." Zhang Wu Ji tried to fish her.
"What? Do I have to study that in your residence? Won't the people gossips about us if they saw us together!" Liu Xin Xin burst with anger.
"I'm still an unengaged lady!" she shouts in her heart.

[Author's Note]
OUCH! I'm sorry that there's a cringy boy-girl scene here, but don't you think that ZWJ takes these things too nonchalantly? He should at least understand the fact that he's a male, she's a female, and they both not married!
