"Master... What treasure did the junior brother give you? You won't even show it to me?"
After the apprentice ceremony, Xu Kun walked in the building complex of the Sword Pond Holy Land, just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, following the footsteps of the two great craftsmen!
It is worthy of being the human race's casting holy land. The exhibits everywhere are all rare treasures in the world!
On each wall, there are the glorious deeds of the disciples who walked out of the holy land in the past!
In each display cabinet, there are treasures left by the foundry masters of the Sword Pond Holy Land in the past, representing the specific manifestations of various casting techniques!
Ou Yezi and his senior brother, who is now his senior brother, naturally walked in front, and behind them, there was another great craftsman, Mrs. Xu, and Chi, who was drooping his head!
Seeing Xu Kun's gaze, Madam Xu smiled back, while Chi sighed again!
Xu Kun turned around and tried his best not to laugh out loud!
This wave, it was really a big profit!
Do you think the previous apprentice ceremony was just Ou Yezi announcing to the public that he had accepted an apprentice?
It's too small! The pattern is too small!
Who can come to congratulate in person?
The master craftsmen of other systems in the casting system!
The rest of the systems are also the existence of master craftsmen!
You come to congratulate, don't you bring some gifts?
Then who's pockets have these gifts now?
Ou Yezi naturally doesn't think much of these things, so they all go to Xu Kun!
The most rude and direct way is to send spirit stones!
No wonder Qian Manlou said that the masters of the casting and alchemy worlds are rich. In just a short time, the various spirit stones Xu Kun received exceeded his original wealth value!
And this is just the basis!
There were piles of various SSS-level ores!
Xu Kun also received more than a dozen rare SSS-level metals that the human race did not have and needed to be purchased from foreign races!
The most considerate one was another familiar master craftsman - Master Ya Jiu!
He prepared a whole set of luxury gift packages for Xu Kun - from B-level to SS-level!
There were dozens of B-level master crafts, which saved Xu Kun the trouble of choosing his favorite master crafts in the future!
The higher the grade, the fewer the master crafts. There was only one master craftsmanship map for SS-level artifacts, but the value of this master craftsmanship map was immeasurable!
It was a master craftsmanship map for mid-level artifacts of War King-level equipment!
The other brothers were not stingy, for example, the senior brother Gan Jiang in front of him actually gave him a mid-level SS-level artifact directly. The rest of the brothers were not as generous as Gan Jiang, but they also gave away low-level SS-level artifacts!
Oh my god, I made it!
Although Xu Kun basically doesn't need these artifacts, they are either not suitable for him or not as good as his original artifacts!
But it doesn't matter. He can't use them, but his friends are all waiting for them!
As for the alchemy and formation, some give SS-level divine elixirs and S-level formation stones. With the spiritual stones he harvested, Xu Kun has now become a mobile treasure house!
Well~ Although he was originally rich, who can refuse to become richer?
"Ahem, little uncle!"
The general in front was still pestering his master to find out what the gift from Xu Kun was. Behind him, Mrs. Xu, who was Xu Kun's nephew, came over.
"Senior..."
"No, no, just call me nephew!" Mrs. Xu said with a change of expression.
"Ahem, okay, nephew, what's the matter?"
"Uncle Junior, please accept it!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu, who is Xu Kun's junior, actually took out a short blade!
"What do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything. Just treat it as a gift from my nephew on behalf of all the junior brothers to my junior uncle. I hope my junior uncle will accept it!"
Xu Kun scratched his head. Should he accept this gift? Or not?
Mrs. Xu saw Xu Kun's entanglement and didn't give him a chance to refuse. She stuffed it into Xu Kun's arms.
"This is made by me, nephew, please don't dislike it, uncle!"
Xu Kun took it and looked at it. He felt a voice coming from the short blade and was stunned and said, "Artifact?"
"Uh... It's just a low-level artifact. My level is not good enough. Uncle Junior, please don't look down on it..." Mrs. Xu said embarrassedly.
Xu Kun: Is this what I mean?
"My nephew, you misunderstood. How can I accept such a big gift?"
"Little uncle, don't say that. This is all the kindness of my fellow apprentices!" Madam Xu said sincerely.
"Well, it's a matter of reciprocity. I shouldn't accept your gift, but since it's the kindness of my fellow apprentices, I'll accept it. Then take this thing as a return gift. Don't refuse it. The elders give it, and you can't refuse it!"
Xu Kun finally accepted the other party's kindness and put his return gift in Madam Xu's hand!
Mrs. Xu didn't care at first, and accepted Xu Kun's return gift with a smile. When Xu Kun turned around, she took a look!
But with just one look, he froze!
"Hey, senior brother, what are you in a daze? Grandpa and the others have gone far away!"
"Junior brother..." Madam Xu said in a daze.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Give me a slap and see if I'm dreaming!"
"Okay!" Chi grinned immediately, raised his hand and gave his master brother, the master craftsman, a slap in the face!
"Junior brother, are you really fighting?"
"You can't blame me for asking!"
Mrs. Xu covered her red and swollen face while looking at the thing in her palm. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh!
Then he came back to his senses, shook his head, suppressed the greed in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him: "Uncle, this gift is too heavy, I can't accept it!"
…
"So, this is Junior Brother's gift of repair?" Gan Jiang looked at the two beads on the table and said with wide eyes.
"And the gift in return from my junior uncle..." Mrs. Xu stood aside, not daring to take a breath.
"The SSS-level Pearl of Extreme Efficiency...does such a divine object really exist in the world?" Gan Jiang looked at Zheng Laohuai and asked Ou Yezi, who was pleased and looked Xu Kun up and down.
"Elder brother, I just came out of the Thunder Swamp. I got this Pearl of Extreme Speed from that secret realm copy!"
"But I remember that the highest grade of the Pearl of Extreme Rate produced in the Thunder Swamp copy is not..."
"Okay, who is my little disciple? He is Kun, who is famous among all races. Isn't it reasonable for him to get such a divine object as the SSS-level Pearl of Extreme Efficiency? You are making such a fuss here. How decent?”
Ou Yezi didn't even look at his eldest disciple, and his eyes of joy could only accommodate his new little disciple!
The general was immediately disgusted, not to mention his son!
On February 8th that year, I stood in the corner, like a gangster!
His own grandfather touched the hands of other young men and scolded his father!
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this day!
Mrs. Xu said restrainedly: "Master, my junior uncle gave me this SS-level Pearl of Extreme Efficiency. I..."
"Do you want it?" Ou Yezi asked.
Mrs. Xu swallowed hard. Who wouldn't want the Pearl of Extreme Probability, which can increase the chance of creating SS-level equipment by 20%?
"If you want it, since it was given to you by your junior uncle, you can take it. Remember it in the future and show some respect to your junior uncle!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Xu was overjoyed immediately, but just as she was about to take back what belonged to her, a big hand pressed on the bead.
"Master?" Mrs. Xu's face was full of doubts.
Ganjiang said with a serious expression: "Xiao Xu, your experience is still shallow, and you have not gone far on the path of a divine craftsman. Foreign objects are foreign objects after all. There is no divine weapon that can be successfully created with this bead." of the soul!”
If Mrs. Xu doesn't understand what her master means, her life will be in vain!
He immediately said with a bitter face: "Master, you can't do this!"
"Be obedient, my master will not harm you. You can't control this thing. Let me take care of it for you. When your casting level improves, I will give it back to you!"
Mrs. Xu: Do you think I will believe your lies?
However, due to the principle of respecting the teacher, Mrs. Xu could not refute his master after all. Just when he was about to give this treasure to his master, a person walked into the outer hall!
"General, why don't you show off your old face? You are really capable of robbing your apprentice!"
"Madam, what are you talking about? I am not doing this for Xiao Xu!"
Mrs. Xu: Please stop shouting. I don’t know, but you think you are shouting at me!
The beautiful woman walked in carrying a tea tray. When she heard the go-getter's words, she immediately rolled her eyes!
The go-getter smiled awkwardly, his wife exposed his intentions, he really felt a little frustrated!
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Mrs. Xu took back the treasure that belonged to her and put it in her pocket, then she breathed a sigh of relief!
"You!" Gan Jiang was helpless.
Rebellious disciple, it’s okay not to want this disciple!
After the beautiful woman filled a cup of tea for everyone, she looked at Xu Kun carefully: "Tsk, tsk, this is our little junior brother, right? He looks so handsome, how can he look like father and son, one stuffed with another?" The crooked melons and cracked dates!”
Ganjiang, Chi:...
Xu Kun opened his mouth, not knowing what to call him!
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Just call me sister-in-law!"
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Xu Kun borrowed the donkey and went down the ramp.
As soon as this title came out, Chi's face turned even darker!
"Hey, okay, you can be recognized by your father at such a young age. My sister-in-law is optimistic about you. From now on, the future of the human race's foundry industry will be left to you!"
"Sister-in-law is so complimentary!" Xu Kun said embarrassedly.
Then he stood up, looked at the general and said, "Senior brother, don't be angry. That Pearl of Extreme Efficiency is my return gift to my nephew. You deserve better!"
Saying that, Xu Kun took out another SSS-level Pearl of Extreme Rate!
Although the general was keen on the treasure in the hands of his old father-in-law/master, when Xu Kun took out another one to honor him, he hesitated again!
"Alas... take it. If you can't succeed in this life, pass this thing on until one day, someone can successfully take this step!"
Ou Yezi spoke, and the general took the treasure handed over by Xu Kun with great care!
Xu Kun took out half of the inventory in a row, but Xu Kun didn't feel distressed at all!
As a young man, he has capital, a long-term future, and confidence. In the future, he can take that step even without the help of external treasures!
After the general whirled about the Pearl of Extreme Efficiency for a while, he frowned slightly and said, "Master, why don't you take it? If you get the blessing of this Pearl in the grand meeting in a month, you will surely come out on top!" "
Ou Yezi shook his head silently: "The one my little disciple gave me is enough. If even one cannot help me succeed, no more will be of any use!"
After hearing this, everyone present, except Xu Kun, showed serious expressions.
Only Xu Kun was confused, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Kun'er... do you mind if I call you that?" Ou Yezi said.
Xu Kun shook his head. Once a teacher, always a father. Ou Yezi was not only his master, but also an elder he respected very much. It was natural to call him that!
"Okay, then I will call you that from now on!"
"You must listen carefully to what the master says next!"
Xu Kun pricked up his ears, and Ou Yezi also slowly took out a glowing post in front of everyone!
The moment he took it out, Xu Kun's face changed!
On his arm, the iron glove Yangripper, which was like a tattoo when it was not present, became hot, and then the space of the entire room stopped!
Everyone's movements were frozen!
Thor, who had fallen asleep for a while, emerged from Xu Kun's arm!
He looked at the post that Ou Yezi took out with a flickering look, and said in a deep voice: "What a familiar breath!"
