Chapter 70: Refiner 1
Translator: 549690339
As one of the founding families of the Demon-Slaying Hall, the Chen family naturally sent a letter immediately, asking if there were any members of the Chen family who were willing to participate in the selection of the Demon-Slaying Hall.
After reading the letter, Chen Yang handed it to Chen Xuan and said,”The position of a Monster Slayer has its pros and cons.”
“The advantage is that the Monster-Slaying Hall can provide cultivation resources and increase combat experience.”
“As for the disadvantages, every battle with a demon beast can be considered a life and death battle. Among them, it was very likely that they would be seriously injured or even die on the spot.”
“So, First Elder, do you think we need to send people to participate in the selection of the Demon Slaying Hall?”
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Chen Xuan stroked his beard and thought for a while.” Master, my opinion is that we can inform the clansmen and see if any of them are willing to participate.”
“If someone is willing to go, we won’t stop them. If no one is willing to go, we don’t have to force our clansmen.”
“Alright, let’s do as First Elder says.”Yang Chen made his decision.
Not long after, all the members of the Chen family who were above the fifth level of Qi Refinement gathered together.
Looking at these clansmen, Yang Chen took out a letter for him.” Today, a letter came from afar. The content of the letter is very simple. The construction of the Demon-Slaying Hall has been completed. I want to ask if anyone from the Chen family is willing to participate in the selection.”
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the Demon Slayer Hall and the Demon Slayer Envoy, so I won’t say much. Those who are willing to participate, step forward.”
For a moment, no one made any moves. After a while, a member of the collateral family gathered his courage and asked,”Patriarch, what’s the attitude of the clan? Do we have to send someone to participate?”
“The attitude of the clan is that they don’t support or oppose it. Whether you go or not is up to you. Therefore, you should make a bold decision without any psychological pressure.”
Yang Chen’s words completely dispelled everyone’s hesitation. Immediately, a few members of the branch family stepped forward.
“Yes, I’ll count the few of you in. Is there anyone else who’s willing to go?”Yang Chen asked.
Seventh Brother, can the Direct Line go?” Chen Xiao mustered his courage and asked.
“What are you talking about? The Direct Line is treated the same as the Collateral Branch. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he immediately took a step forward.” In that case, I’m willing to represent the Chen family to participate in the Demon Slayer Hall and seize the position of a Demon Slayer Envoy.”
“It’s just that in the future, I’ll have to trouble seventh brother to take care of my elderly parents.”
Hearing this, Yang Chen suddenly laughed out loud.” Brat, why are you leaving me here to handle your funeral? Let’s not talk about whether you can be selected if you go.”
“Even if you are chosen, you are only a Yellow Grade Demon Slayer. You are just following behind a Black Grade Demon Slayer and patrolling the Jiang Prefecture.”
“As for taking care of your parents, you can tell that to the Eighth Elder and see if he can beat you to death.”
Seeing that Yang Chen had mentioned his father, Xiao Chen was scared and quickly said,””Don’t! If my father finds out that I’m going to the Demon Slaying Hall, he’ll skin me alive.”
“Don’t worry, the Eighth Elder won’t do that. At most, he’ll let you memorize a few more books.”Yang Chen smiled.
The other clansmen also smiled kindly.
Chen Xiao’s expression was even more dismal. After a while, he braced himself.”Hmph, even if I have to recite the scriptures, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and stop these demon beasts in the Endless Mountain Range!”
“Good, good ambition! This way, if you can pass the selection, the family will prepare a subdued beast with the bloodline of a demon general for you.”
Chen Yang looked at the other clansmen.” You guys are the same. Whoever passes the selection will be given a familiar with the Demon General Bloodline.”
“Take note, this is not to encourage you to go, but to give those of you who have passed the test some hope of survival.”
“We understand!”
“Alright, is there anyone else who is willing to participate in the selection?”Yang Chen asked again.
Immediately, three more people walked out. Chen Yang counted and found that there were a total of ten people who were willing to represent the Chen family to participate in the Demon Slaying Hall’s assessment.
“Alright, go back and prepare. I’ll take you to Yi City tomorrow to participate in the selection of the Demon Slaying Hall.”
After confirming who would be participating in the Demon Slayer Hall, Chen Yang returned to the meeting hall and continued to deal with family matters.
At this moment, Second Elder Chen Meng rushed to the meeting hall excitedly.” Family Head, this is a joyous occasion.”
“Oh, what’s there to be happy about?” Chen Yang looked at Chen Meng.
Chen Meng steadied his state of mind.” Family Head, the Weapon Refining Class has appeared. The clansmen who can become Weapon Refiners.” “Really?”
Yang Chen jumped up from his chair excitedly. After two years of systematic training, the Chen family finally had a clansman with talent in refining weapons.
Immediately, Chen Yang quickly put aside the things at hand and followed Chen Meng to the school with Chen Xuan.
After arriving at the school, the person with the talent for refining weapons smiled at Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen saw this person, he blurted out,””Fifth Brother?”
“Chen Shou greets Patriarch.” Chen Shou respectfully bowed to Chen Yang.
When Chen Yang saw this, he hurriedly supported Chen Shou.” Alright, don’t make this up. Fifth Brother, do you really have the talent of a Weapon Refinement Master?”
“Patriarch, just watch.”
Immediately, Chen Shou extended his right hand, and a ball of flames bloomed from his hand. Then, Chen Shou walked to the side of the furnace, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it in before starting to refine.
In this world, there was only one way to check if a person had the talent to refine artifacts, and that was to see if they could refine sand into glass.
That’s right, it was to refine sand into glass.
Sometimes, Yang Chen was also very curious about which little genius had decided on this method of testing talent.
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Shou withdrew the flame and waited for the furnace to cool down before taking out the refined glass.
“Patriarch, please take a look. This is the translucent wall.”
The so-called transparent wall was the name of the glass in this world.
Looking at the transparent glass in Chen Shou’s hand, he laughed out loud.””Hahaha, good. Fifth brother, I’ll bring you to the ruins immediately to receive the Armament Master’s inheritance.”
“Wait, Patriarch, have you forgotten about the puppet at the peak of the Aura Refining realm?”Chen Xuan reminded.
After Chen Xuan’s reminder, Chen Yang finally reacted and immediately smiled awkwardly.” This is my negligence.”
“But don’t worry, sixth brother. The clan will find you a peak-stage meditational beast.”
“With this demonic beast as a subdued beast, passing the basic test shouldn’t be a problem.”
“As for refining weapons, we have to make preparations as soon as possible. Your Fire Condensing Art is just a common fire condensing martial art, it definitely doesn’t match your status as an apprentice.”
“It just so happens that I’m going to Yi City tomorrow to see if I can find a good fire-condensing martial art.”
“Thank you, Patriarch, but I’ll have to make the clan pay.”Chen Shou said excitedly.
“It’s nothing. As long as we can make the clan stronger, paying some spirit stones is nothing.”Yang Chen said nonchalantly..
