The news of Qian Huanhan forging superior-grade divine artifacts had been reported to the Divine Artifact Pavilion. Young Mistress Dan had just come out of seclusion and heard the news. She scanned Qian Huanhan's divine artifact with her divine perception and knew what was going on.
Qian Huanhan was in a bad mood after hearing Young Mistress Dan's words.
He realized that a few disciples had come out of the library to watch the show. He forced a smile and handed the sword to Young Mistress Dan. "Please teach me, Senior Mistress Dan!"
Young Mistress Dan handed her white bow to a young mistress beside her. She took the sword and flicked the blade with her finger. The sword hummed softly. The formation patterns on the sword started to move. It looked like there was a flash of light.
"This sword embryo is flashy but not practical!"
Young Mistress Dan glanced at Qian Huanhan and said softly, "This sword embryo is made of diamond, Heaven Sun Stone, and Moonlight Stone, right?
When you were forging it, the fire was not good enough. Also, you should have used Earth Flame Crystals to heat it up. That way, the sword embryo would have been more perfect.
Junior Brother Qian Huanhan, am I right? "
Qian Huanhan was stunned. Then, he nodded expressionlessly. "Senior Mistress Dan is right. It was not good enough. I did not use Earth Flame Crystals either."
"Hmm ~"
Lady Dan poured her divine power into it and frowned. She shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Brother Qian Huan, you need to improve your formation skills. You've carved four formations in total, Tenacity, Gale, Fire and Fury. These four formations work well with each other and can increase the weapon's power by a few percent.
However, you carved the Fierce Fire Formation and the Strong Wind Formation too close to each other. This will cause the divine artifact to overheat. If you use it for a long time, the lifespan of this divine artifact will be greatly reduced. If you use it frequently, it will be useless in half a year at most. This is a half-useless divine artifact … "
Shh-shh-shh ~
More and more disciples came to watch. Young Mistress Dan's comments made Qian Huanhan's face darken.
However, Young Mistress Dan was not just making things up. She had her reasons. What she said was true and could not be refuted.
With so many people watching, Qian Huanhan could only nod and say, "Young Mistress Dan is right. I need to improve on my formations."
"Ah, this artifact spirit …"
Lady Dan suddenly exclaimed in surprise. She felt pity. She poured divine power into her hand and a fiery flood dragon appeared. She shook her head and said, "Junior Brother Qian Huan, don't you know that the fiery flood dragon is of the fire attribute?
Your Divine Sword is supposed to walk the path of explosive power, but you sealed a Fire Flood Dragon with a dark attribute. This will cause a clash of attributes, which will greatly shorten the lifespan of the sword.
Spending so many high-grade divine materials to refine a divine weapon that couldn't be used for too long was a huge waste.
This is also because Elder Gu is protecting you. If it were any other disciple, they would have been punished long ago … "
Qian Huanhan's face turned pale. His joy of forging a High Grade Divine Weapon and becoming a Divine Craftsman had completely disappeared.
The superior-grade divine artifact that he had painstakingly forged was now worthless in Lady Dan's words.
"And the timer!"
Lady Dan did not seem to have the intention to let Qian Huanhan off the hook. She said sarcastically, "The level of the timer is so low. I am beginning to wonder if you are Patriarch Gu's apprentice.
Also, you won the third place in the Competition of Craftsmen. You came back and cultivated for three years, and you only made such a lousy superior Relic?
Back then, I made a superior Relic that was ten times better than yours, but I did not make it to the semi-finals.
I don't even know how you made it to the semi-finals. Did you secretly bribe a patriarch of the Craftsmen's Sect? "
"You …"
Qian Huanhan trembled with anger. Lady Dan's words were sharp. She picked holes in him in front of so many people. She even mentioned the Competition of Craftsmen and accused him of cheating.
She was trying to humiliate him in the Chamber of Relics.
Lu Li had elevated Qian Huanhan to a high position. If Qian Huanhan could not keep up, he would be overrated.
The higher one rose, the harder one fell. Today was the best example.
Qian Huanhan had been cultivating for three years. Finally, he had made great progress in forging artifacts and made a superior Relic. Now that he had been humiliated by Lady Dan, even if he did not lose his mind, he would start to doubt himself. This might affect his future.
Clearly, Qian Huanhan was not mentally strong. Otherwise, he would not have been so agitated and angry when he met Meng Feier.
Lu Li stared at Qian Huanhan who was trembling. Lu Li knew he must do something. Otherwise, Qian Huanhan would not be able to recover from this setback and his future would be ruined.
Lu Li turned to the young lady next to Lady Dan who was holding a white jade bow. "Sister Dan, this bow is beautiful. Did you make it?" Lu Li asked with a smile.
Lady Dan looked at Lu Li with her guard up. That young lady said proudly, "Yes. This is the result of Sister Dan's recent work. Among the superior Relics, this is the best.
Sister Dan has been cultivating for three years. She has made great progress in forging artifacts. Two patriarchs speak highly of her. They believe that in the next Competition of Craftsmen in seven years, she will become the new master craftsman. "
"Oh?
Is that so? "
Lu Li was filled with admiration. Rubbing his hands, he said, "Can I have a look at such a good Relic?
I have always admired and been curious about Lady Dan's forging skills. "
That young lady was proud of herself. She turned to Lady Dan who was hesitant.
She had a bad feeling. However, there were so many people around. If she refused flatly, people would think she was guilty.
Seeing Lady Dan's hesitation, Lu Li grinned. "What?
Sister Dan, this Relic cannot be shown to others?
Or is it … a piece of junk? "
Lady Dan had heard about Lu Li's sharp words before. Back when Jiang Lianxue made a fuss, Lu Li made everyone speechless in the Hall of Penal Code. Now, Lady Dan had a firsthand experience.
She smiled and said, "Since Junior Brother Lu wants to have a look, I will show him."
Handing the bow to Lu Li, Sister Fu said with disdain, "Be careful. Don't break it. This is a superior Relic. I don't think you can make one in your lifetime."
"Hmm!"
Lu Li was not angry at all. Without looking at the jade bow, he asked Sister Fu, "Sister Fu, are you afraid that the bow will be broken or that I will crush it?
If a superior Relic can be broken so easily, then you would not be making a superior Relic, but a porcelain. "
"Eh?"
Sister Fu realized that she had slapped herself in the face. She became angry and said, "Look. Don't waste time. If it weren't for my good intentions, you wouldn't have the chance."
"Is that so?"
The corners of Lu Li's mouth curled up into a faint smile. He flicked the bow and the bow made a sound. Lu Li frowned and said, "The prototype of this bow is well made. But … for the sake of its beautiful appearance, you chose the Lunar Cloud Iron as the main material, right?
This material is precious. One piece is worth more than a thousand Divine Sources. It has many uses but it is not tough enough.
It is such a waste to use it as the main material for a bow. Only Sister Fu, as the granddaughter of the Chief, would dare to waste it. If it were us, the Hall of Penal Code would come after us. "
Giving Qian Huanhan a taste of his own medicine!
Lady Dan did not expect that Lu Li would slap her in the face right after she mocked Qian Huanhan. What was more, Lu Li was right.
"Lunar Cloud Iron is rare. Many books don't record it. How does Lu Li know about it?"
