Qin Wentian stared at the light in Moon's eyes as he involuntarily laughed, "Seems like you are quite confident."
Upon hearing his words, Moon's countenance dimmed. She lowered her head as though there was something weighing on her heart as she mumbled, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to obtain a good result. After all, the strength of the divine inscriptions I'm proficient in is limited. Although I've been working hard to raise my proficiency in inscribing divine inscriptions, there's no way for me to make up for the disparity in divine inscriptions. I will definitely be left in the dust by Shen Jing and Rong Yan.
"Can I watch you inscribe divine inscriptions?" Qin Wentian asked, his words causing Moon to smile as she nodded her head, "Sure, if you want to learn my divine inscriptions, I will teach you. As for how much you can learn, that would depend on your own comprehension. Also, is she here to learn weaponsmithing as well?" Moon pointed to Qing 'er as she asked.
"She's my younger sister, Little Qing. She came here together with me." Qin Wentian smiled. As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at Moon's weaponsmithing pavilion. Although the place wasn't too big, it had all the necessary materials and there was even heat from the ground. This caused Moon to have an apologetic look on her face as she smiled at Qin Wentian, "I've only been in the academy for a year, hence the conditions of my weaponsmithing pavilion are the worst. That Rong Yan seems to be up to no good. His and Shen Jing's weaponsmithing pavilion is better than mine, yet he arranged for you to learn from me."
"I feel that it's pretty good. If I learn from them, they would definitely not teach me divine inscriptions." Qin Wentian smiled radiantly. Staring at his smile, Moon also smiled, "Your smile is so beautiful and your demeanor isn't bad either. I really don't understand why you want to be a weaponsmithing attendant."
As she spoke, she had already started to prepare the materials needed for forging a fourth-ranked divine weapon. Forging a fourth-ranked divine weapon wasn't the same as forging a first-ranked or second-ranked divine weapon. The requirements for the quality of the materials used were extremely strict. If not, even if ordinary divine weapons were imbued with powerful divine imprints, if the materials used weren't sturdy enough when clashing, they would be at a disadvantage and could easily break apart due to instability.
"The temperature of the flames needed to smelt high-grade crafting materials is extremely high. Fortunately, there is a Heavenly Flame below the Crafting Pavilion, which shrouds the entire Crafting Pavilion area of the academy. Even fifth-grade crafting materials can be smelted, let alone fourth-grade materials." Moon spoke to Qin Wentian. After which, she placed all the materials she had prepared into the central cauldron and began to burn them. At the same time, she turned to Qin Wentian and said, "Help me retrieve the embryonic form of the axe."
"You want to forge a divine greataxe?" Qin Wentian laughed. Weaponsmithing was the same as the martial path, there were countless variations. Similarly, one had to gather materials, heat it, cast it, inscribe divine inscriptions, and finally sharpen it into a divine weapon. For a high-grade divine weapon, the requirements for the materials, combination, and divine inscriptions were all much higher. There couldn't be a single mistake, or it would be easy to end up with a defective weapon.
"You should already know these basic steps right? Both the materials and forging process, practice makes perfect. After thousands and thousands of tempering, in addition to your powerful perception, you would be able to gradually perfect your weapon. The most important step is the inscribing of divine inscriptions. That is the step that determines the level of a weaponsmith's ability." Moon slowly explained. She continued to forge while chatting with Qin Wentian, guiding Qin Wentian on how to forge weapons.
Qin Wentian stared at the beads of sweat on Moon's forehead as a smile appeared on his face. Shen Jing and Rong Yan had sent him to Moon's place, causing him to feel extremely happy. Moon was indeed more suitable to help him.
After a period of time, the smelted materials were infused into the embryonic form of the great axe, allowing it to solidify before placing the embryonic form onto the forging stone. Moon then slammed her palm onto the embryonic form of the great axe, causing it to shatter, revealing an axe head that was scorched red.
"I'm going to inscribe divine inscriptions, watch carefully." A bright light flashed as a hatchet appeared in Moon's hands. One of her astral souls was a greataxe, a forging-type astral soul.
After which, the hatchet in Moon's hands chopped out, slamming onto the hatchet on the forging platform. Instantly, numerous runic inscriptions appeared, faintly exuding the will of the hatchet.
Moon was extremely careful in her inscribing, she didn't even bother to chat with Qin Wentian. She was completely focused and used a total of four hours before she finished inscribing the divine inscriptions.
"Moon, your foundations in weaponsmithing are truly solid. Not only that, your inscribing ability is also very powerful. If there's a great teacher around, you would definitely have a bright future ahead of you." Qin Wentian spoke. Moon smiled sweetly, her face was covered in sweat, "How can it be as simple as you think? The majority of powerful weaponsmiths are extremely arrogant, and the divine weapons I forge aren't of a high grade. It's very hard for me to attract the attention of others. Could it be that I can summon a grandmaster-level character to observe me forging? I can only wait and see if anyone would pay attention to me during the year-end examinations. "
"Although there won't be any powerful grandmaster-level characters, there might be some weaponsmiths with good foresight." Qin Wentian shrugged. "Do you mind if I use this hatchet?"
"You …" Moon blinked, glancing at the hatchet again. "A mid-grade, fourth-ranked divine weapon. Although it's a pity, you can do it."
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded. After which, he walked forward as a hammer appeared in his hand, directly smashing down on the hatchet. The sound of metal colliding rang out as the divine inscriptions on the hatchet were directly flattened. This caused Moon to be stunned as she stared resentfully at Qin Wentian. Although it was only a mid-grade divine weapon, she was extremely poor and didn't have many materials to forge it. How could she bear to waste it like this?
However, she could only hope that after Qin Wentian messed around once, he would understand the difficulty of weaponsmithing.
"Ding!" Another light sound rang out as the hammerhead smashed into the hatchet. A resplendent light flashed as the hatchet exuded a terrifying sharpness. On the surface of the hatchet, an incomparably complex and exquisite divine inscriptions could be seen.
This scene caused Moon to be dumbfounded. Her small hands covered her mouth as she stared at Qin Wentian. Her beautiful eyes didn't move as her brain short-circuited.
This weaponsmithing technique … caused her heart to pound unceasingly.
"You … you …" Moon pointed at Qin Wentian. Upon seeing the mischievous smile in Qin Wentian's eyes, she suppressed her shock and pouted, "You are so powerful, yet you still dare to tease me?"
"Moon, can you help me with something?" Qin Wentian spoke. Seeing the serious look on his face, Moon bewilderedly asked, "Your weaponsmithing abilities are so high, what can I help you with?"
"Although my divine inscriptions are powerful, I don't have much research on weaponsmithing. Right now, I need a large number of divine weapons, but I can't find a suitable place to do so. I hope you can help me." Qin Wentian spoke. Moon blinked before she nodded, "Sure."
Being able to forge weapons together with such a powerful weaponsmith, how could Moon reject?
"Okay then. Moon, refine all the materials that can be used to forge divine weapons. I will forge them into divine weapons and after that, you can go outside to help me trade for more materials, repeating the cycle. At the same time, remember to prepare more weapon embryos." Qin Wentian spoke.
Moon instantly understood what Qin Wentian wanted to do. Given Qin Wentian's inscription speed, as long as the other steps and materials were sufficient, he would be able to forge a large number of weapons. And since he came to the Divine Weapon Academy, it was naturally because he knew that the Divine Weapon Academy had its own trading network that could provide all these for him.
"Weaponsmiths are all wealthy. For a weaponsmith like you, the amount of wealth you can create is simply unimaginable." Moon mumbled, her words causing Qin Wentian's eyes to flicker. He smiled, "Right now, it's precisely because I'm poor that I need to forge weapons. Other than divine weapons, I also need to trade for some useful items. That's why I thought of this method."
"Fine, you will only be poor for a period of time. Given your standard, as long as you step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for you to forge fifth-ranked divine weapons." Moon felt somewhat jealous of this fellow in front of her. He was simply too powerful. As for why he couldn't forge fifth-ranked divine weapons, it was most probably due to the limitations of his cultivation base. After all, the majority of fifth-ranked divine inscriptions contained a true intent within them. Unless one was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it would be impossible for them to inscribe fifth-ranked divine inscriptions.
"Moon, your foundation is so solid, you will also become a powerful weaponsmith in the future." Qin Wentian laughed. Moon shook her head, "How can I be as impressive as you?"
"You still have me." Qin Wentian winked at Moon, causing Moon's expression to stiffen. Her gaze towards Qin Wentian contained traces of nervousness and anticipation as her heart pounded wildly.
"I'll help you prepare the forging materials." Moon blushed, she didn't dare to meet Qin Wentian's gaze. After which, she walked away to prepare the forging materials for Qin Wentian. The two of them began to forge weapons in the Weaponsmith Pavilion, and after they were done, Moon would bring the divine weapons forged by Qin Wentian outside to trade. At the same time, she would borrow weapon embryos from her fellow apprentice brothers and sisters in the academy.
This caused many to feel puzzled. What happened to Moon recently? She borrowed over a hundred weapon embryos within two days.
During these two days, Moon was completely exhausted. Other than running errands for Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian taught her peak-tier fourth-ranked divine inscriptions as well as the method to inscribe divine inscriptions. Other than helping Qin Wentian, she would also mingle around in the Weaponsmith Pavilion to learn and attempt to inscribe divine inscriptions. Just like what Qin Wentian had expected, Moon's foundation was extremely solid. With his help, her improvement would be extremely quick. It wouldn't be long before she would be able to inscribe a peak-tier fourth-ranked divine weapon.
However, although she was tired, Moon had never been so happy before. Now that she had a peak-tier divine inscription, the method to forge weapons was even better, and Qin Wentian had given her a lot of materials, all of which could be used to forge peak-tier fourth-ranked divine weapons.
Occasionally, when she rested during the night, a smile would appear on Moon's face. Her hard work had finally paid off, she had met such a good person. Although he wanted her help, what Qin Wentian had given her wasn't something that could be compared to this little bit of help. She naturally understood this point in her heart. Towards Qin Wentian, she only felt heartfelt gratitude.
Five days later, Moon once again went out to help Qin Wentian exchange materials. When she passed by the weaponsmithing pagoda, she met Shen Jing and Rong Yan. Little Rascal was still as carefree and happy as ever, lying in Shen Jing's embrace. Rong Yan glanced at Moon as he smiled, "Junior Sister, is that apprentice weaponsmith obedient?"
"Mhm." Moon's face flashed with a bright light as she nodded.
"Junior Sister, if you don't like him, you can just tell him to scram. I'm not that familiar with him anyway." Rong Yan's lips curled up in contempt. As for Little Rascal, it was already impossible for him to return to Shen Jing. Even Little Rascal himself couldn't bear to leave, right?
Moon coldly glanced at Rong Yan, she didn't say anything and directly walked away. Rong Yan started, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he stared at her departing back. This yes-man actually dared to look at him in such a manner? However, the current Moon gave him a strange feeling. Her demeanor and confidence seemed to have increased, and she was even more beautiful than before.
Moon returned to the weaponsmithing pavilion and saw that Qin Wentian was still forging weapons. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, only to see Qin Wentian smiling at her. Moon blushed as she retracted her hand, "I don't have any other intentions."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian casually smiled. Staring at the smile in his deep eyes, Moon involuntarily felt a sense of inferiority. Although they had only been in contact for five days, she could sense that Qin Wentian was definitely an extraordinary character. If not, how could he have such powerful weaponsmithing techniques and such magnanimity? Even if he liked women, they would surely be those that were as dazzling as phoenixes, right?
When she thought of this, Moon put down her previous thoughts and didn't think too much about it. She didn't dare to think too much about it either. She could only innocently smile, "Tianwen, the year-end examination will begin in a few days. Can you watch me finish the examination before you leave?"
Qin Wentian glanced at Moon. He originally planned to leave tomorrow, but when he saw the innocent look in her eyes, he smiled and nodded his head, "Sure."
"Thank you." Moon was somewhat agitated, as though she suddenly thought of something. She then continued, "After the year-end examination ends, the battle on the Sacred Battle Platform will begin soon. I heard that senior brother Wang Yunfei also wishes to fight against Qin Wentian. Senior brother Wang is so powerful, I wonder what kind of heaven chosen Qin Wentian is? Is he as outstanding as senior brother Wang Yunfei? Regardless of weapon forging or combat, senior brother Wang Yunfei is so dazzling."
