"I'll let you say one more time which way you'll choose!?"
"I... I... I... I'll give you the forging techniques. But it's not easy to tell in a day or two. And there're also different types of ores…"
Flop!!!
Zheng-Fu hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt the young woman before she finished speaking and said, "Don't worry about that; I've got my own method. As long as you write down all your methods and techniques, that's enough. As for the types of ores, I know you definitely have a book about them, so the moment before the mysterious ore appears, I'll take that time to read it.
As for you, just write what you should have written," Zheng-Fu said with a calm expression on his face as if it were a normal topic.
But the young woman was not like that. Her face was filled with a lot of incomprehension about Zheng-Fu's thoughts, and she did not know what the other party was thinking. In just a few shichens, how much could he read from the textbook about ten thousand kinds of ores?
There were also some of their unique and distinctive features, so remembering and classifying them all was not an easy task. At least it took more than five years, or maybe even ten years. And once one had a certain level of ore knowledge, one also needed to practice hammering and fire control.
In total, to be able to forge one of the better-grade weapons would take at least three to five years. Such as the young woman herself, even though she was called a genius at forging, she still had to spend more than five years studying the ores and raw materials textbook, which she had studied since childhood.
After that, it took another year to study hammering, half a year to study fire control in melting, and another half a year to study forming and forging. In total, it took seven years of learning to become an elementary forger capable of successfully creating the first to the third step of the low-level weapon up to the first step of the medium-level weapon.
Therefore, hearing that Zheng-Fu would only spend this amount of time studying textbooks and learning the techniques she wrote made her feel that she did not need to think so much about telling Zheng-Fu her techniques anymore because, with just this amount of time, the other party definitely could not learn much.
"Well, I'll write down all of my knowledge for you and will also give you the textbook on the types of ores and materials for you to read as you wish. But by the time the mysterious ore appears, you have to return it to me, alright?" said the young woman, with a serious expression on her face, expecting a very high response from Zheng-Fu.
"I agree. But you are absolutely forbidden to play any tricks. If you write something that has nothing to do with forging, then I swear I'll go after you for the debt this time for sure!" Zheng-Fu knew what the young woman was thinking and knew that she would not do it dishonestly because of that thought.
"Of course, I swear, I'll write down all my knowledge in its entirety, without fail. But you also have to keep your promise to let me and my friends go when the time comes."
"Agree!"
Having agreed, the woman immediately took out a thick book from her dimensional ring. This book was a textbook that recorded the different ores, materials, and ingredients for forging. It was also a textbook that probably had more records than anyone else's since it was a textbook given by her master, the supreme elder of the Deity Weapon Sect.
Handing over the textbook, the young woman immediately took out a piece of paper and a brush and wrote down her knowledge and technique, ignoring what Zheng-Fu was going to do. Anyway, during the rest of this time, as long as she finished writing it, that would be enough; everything would be over.
As for Zheng-Fu, when he received the textbook, he did not hesitate to open it and read it immediately with an excited expression.
"Um… This is how it is!"
Flop!!! Flop!!! Flop!!!
In the blink of an eye, the thick book in which each page recorded the various science of the ores had already been opened and read quickly more than four parts. If the young woman had seen this, she would have laughed a lot at him because, on the surface, the action was no different from those who liked to open books and just look at pictures.
But in reality, Zheng-Fu was able to memorize all the details very quickly, as if his eyes were a video camera and his brain was a computer's hard disk and CPU that were capable of processing and storing all the data at the same time.
One shichen had passed...
Flop!
Finally, the last page of the textbook was read and closed. Meanwhile, Zheng-Fu's knowledgeable face lifted to stare at the young woman before smiling happily because, right now, all the science recorded within this book was already in his brain.
"How much have you written?" Zheng-Fu did not know what to do after reading the textbook, so he immediately asked the young woman who was continuing to write her techniques.
"Huh... Not finished. I'm still writing the forging techniques for you, don't you see? But haven't you read that book? Or... you can't bear to read anymore?" replied the young woman, raising her head to see Zheng-Fu, annoyed that he had asked, causing her to lose her rhythm.
But when she saw that Zheng-Fu was not reading the textbook, she asked, looking at him with a slight sneer.
"Yeah. Who can do it when there's so much to read? Let me rest for a while," Zheng-Fu did not deny her words and also pretended to bluntly admit it before informing her that he was going to lie down and rest his eyes. The reason he replied to her like this was that even if he told the truth, she would not believe it anyway.
Zzzzzzz!!! Zzzzzzz!!!
Half a shichen had passed...
Ahem!
Huh...?
Ssssss!!! (The sound of sucking in the flowing saliva) Gulp!!!
"Looks like Young Master is sleeping well. Slept for half a shichen!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu had woken up, the woman immediately said with a happy expression on her face when she saw that Zheng-Fu had slept for a long time.
Half a shichen!
"Did I fall asleep for half a shichen?" Zheng-Fu pretended to be shocked, hurriedly got up from his chair and looked left and right, then turned to the young woman and said with a displeased look on his face, "Then why didn't you wake me up?"
"Wake up? Why should I wake you up? Besides, I also have my own work to do for you. What time can I spare to wake you up…!?" the young woman still had the same smile on her face, as she spoke sarcastically to Zheng-Fu.
"Yo... you!!! Sigh... Alright, it's my fault. I can't blame you. By the way, have you finished writing?" Zheng-Fu continued his performance.
"Of course, it's done. And it's all in here; just take it and read it," the young woman smiled broadly, nodded in response, and handed several sheets of paper to Zheng-Fu to read.
"Hopefully you won't deceive me!" Zheng-Fu stared at the young woman with fierce eyes, warning her not to be dishonest…
"Don't worry. I always keep my word. Whatever words I say, I won't break them. And I hope that you, too, will keep your word."
"Of course, I'll do as I say. If the techniques you gave me are real, we'll return to your friends when the mysterious ore appears," Zheng-Fu nodded back to her and said that he was also a promise keeper before looking down and reading the note she had written.
As for the young woman, when she had given him the knowledge she had written, she returned to her seat, staring at Zheng-Fu happily at the thought in her heart. However, at that moment, she suddenly realized that this internal atmosphere was filled with dense Qi energy, making it very suitable for cultivation. There was still time left, so she thought of cultivating during the wait.
But suddenly, Zheng-Fu's voice rang out. "I think you shouldn't do that. If you absorb the energy in this room, you'll attain the seventh level of the Immortal stage immediately in no more than half a shichen. And when the mysterious ore appears, you'll not have the right to go down and seek it. Would that be good?" Zheng-Fu warned her as he lowered his head to read the paper.
"As for that ore, I don't care about it at all because I know what kind of ore it is!" replied the young woman indifferently to the mysterious ore and also said she knew what kind of ore it was.
"You know what kind of ore it is?" Zheng-Fu immediately raised his head and asked curiously.
"Of course, I know, Young Master. I know because, every year, it appears once, and our sect has used this phenomenon to test our disciples to find talented people. I was the one who obtained that ore last year," the woman explained slowly and proudly because she was the one who had obtained it last year.
"So, what kind of ore is it?" Zheng-Fu did not care about her proud expression; he only cared about the type of ore she was talking about.
"This ore is called Moonlight Ore. It is an ore used to…"
"Forge the third step high-level weapon, which has the properties of light and dark elements in each half. It's also a highly durable ore. But the amount of it occurring is not much. It only occurs in swamps or medium-sized ponds with depths greater than thirty to forty ping, where the moonlight on a full moon night only shines on the bottom of the pools or ponds.
The duration of its formation is one year!"
Before the young woman could finish explaining, Zheng-Fu had spoken up, interjecting, his words causing her smooth face to instantly turn into a wide-eyed gasp in shock. She could not believe that Zheng-Fu would describe it to this extent.
As far as she remembered, the story of this ore was actually recorded in her textbook, but it was somewhere in the middle part of the book. How could the young man in front of her, who had spent less than half a day reading it, explain it? She was very surprised.
"Hey, Young Master… how can you explain it? It's not that you... Or!? No! No way, it's impossible! There's no way this could happen!" the young woman asked nervously, with great suspicion.
However, while she asked, an idea flashed in her head. But then she rethought that it was impossible.
"It's not difficult. I can explain just by reading the textbook you gave me!" Zheng-Fu smiled and replied calmly as if nothing special had happened.
"Just by reading it!?"
