Li Yao had never thought that a ferocious, muscular man with scars all over his face could be even more obsequious than a eunuch when he was all smiles.
However, after hearing the exclamations of the bystanders around, he immediately realized why Zhao Tongtian had changed his attitude.
"It's him — Master Chu!"
"It's Chu Chongjiu, an expert of refining who is stationed in the Dragon Snake Space Zone on Firefly!"
"What? He is Chu Chongjiu, who is known as' Ghost Shadow Mist Hand '?"
Li Yao thought to himself. So, the intimidating old man was a Cultivator from Firefly. No wonder 'Thunder Lion' Zhao Tongtian was so awed and obsequious to him.
Although Firefly and the outcasts of the Uranian Ring Sector, the Water Crystal Sector, the Nether World Sector, and the Forest Ocean Sector were all refugees, they were definitely not on the same level.
Even a broken ship had three nails, and a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Firefly, which carried the government-in-exile of the Star Ocean Republic, was indeed a panicked bird, but it had escaped from the center of the cosmos, the heartland of the civilization of mankind. It was born to be high and mighty!
When it escaped, naturally, the starship carried the essence of the techniques and the powerful magical equipment of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago!
Although it had drifted in the universe for a thousand years, the system of the powerful magical equipment and the techniques was still passed on after much difficulty and had not been completely cut off.
Even the Xing Yao Federation was coveting the cutting-edge technology, extraordinary techniques, and powerful magical equipment on Firefly, not to mention the homeless dogs in the Dragon Snake Space Zone who had run into a dead end!
Therefore, no matter how murky and lawless the Dragon Snake Space Zone was, few people dared to piss off the Cultivators from Firefly.
On one hand, their fists were big enough. The Cultivators from Firefly were equipped with the Crystal Suits and magical equipment from the center of the cosmos. Their combat ability was definitely not comparable to the defeated soldiers. If they were of the same level, it would be more than enough for them to beat three of them on their own.
On the other hand, with the Dragon Snake Space Zone as a platform, Firefly started trade with the Xing Yao Federation. It was a transit station for trade. A lot of rare resources and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were gathered and distributed in this place. The daily profits were astronomical. Too many people depended on Firefly for a living. Why would they destroy their own livelihood?
Therefore, even if someone was blinded by the grease and dared to attack the Cultivators from Firefly, the Cultivators from Firefly often did not have to do it themselves. the Chamber of Four Chambers of Commerce and the local gangsters would find them and mingle them first so that the Cultivators from Firefly were relieved!
The Cultivators in the sea of stars were one of the most influential forces in the Dragon Snake Space Zone.
Since Firefly was going to trade with the Dragon Snake Space Zone and the Xing Yao Federation, it had to deal with a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and magical equipment. A lot of professional knowledge about materials science and refining was involved.
Chu Chongjiu was the supervisor who was stationed in the place and responsible for the relevant work.
The magical equipment center of the Four Chambers of Commerce was the largest magical equipment store in the Dragon Snake Space Zone. Chu Chongjiu had shown up here a lot in the past and communicated with a lot of famous refiners in the Chamber of Four Chambers. He was quite famous in the circle of refiners in the local area. Therefore, he was recognized by many refiners the moment he showed up.
"Master Chu …"
Zhao Tongtian's head was almost lowered to his feet. Rubbing his hands, he said with a smile, "How is the quality of the 'Jade Emperor Essence' that the Thunder Exo Society found for you after all the trouble? Is it still useful? If not, just tell me. Even if I have to climb a mountain of blades or dive into a sea of fire, I will lead my brothers to search for a few pieces of higher purity for you!"
Of course, the purity is not as high as that of the Jade Emperor Essence collected from the natural paradises at the center of the cosmos. However, it is quite thoughtful of you to have found such goods in a rural area at the edge of the cosmos. "
Chu Chongjiu's face was more or less gentle. He waved his hands and said, "Let's go. What are you doing here? I've reserved the No. 9, No. 12, and No. 15 test lanes. There are a few pieces of magical equipment to be tested. Why are you blocking the test lanes so tightly? Huh. This Crystal Suit is not bad. Captain Zhao, is it yours? "
"Young Zhao, Young Zhao, I am not worthy of the title of 'captain' in front of Master Chu!"
Zhao Tongtian rolled his eyes and recounted the events that had just transpired.
'Ghost Shadow Mist Hands' Chu Chongjiu's expertise in refining was actually better than Nie Siyuan's, the supervisor of the Maintenance Department. Normally, he might not help someone adjust the Crystal Suit even if they were bribed with a lot of money. How could Zhao Tongtian let go of such a great opportunity?
"Master Chu, what do you think about this …"
Sha Yongming, the local refiner who was responsible for the maintenance and adjustment of the 'Azure Thunder' Crystal Suit, also stood out and bowed deeply to Chu Chongjiu. There was hesitation on his face, and there was pleading in his eyes.
It was obvious that he was not confident enough, either. Knowing that something had probably gone wrong during his maintenance, he did not want to bring the issue to his master. At the very least, he would not let his master know until the issue was resolved perfectly. The punishment would be less severe.
"That explains a lot. It's just a minor issue."
Chu Chongjiu smiled and scratched his thick and hard beard. "Young Sha, your master has been working as the director of magical equipment in the 'Ace Matches' recently. Too many pieces of magical equipment have passed through his hands every day. There is no need to bother him with such a minor issue. Young Zhao, if you trust my skills, let me take a look at it for you!"
"That's exactly what I want!"
Zhao Tongtian and Sha Yongming were both overjoyed. They bowed deeply to Chu Chongjiu.
"Haha. I'm glad to see this, too!"
Touching the shell of the 'Azure Thunder', Chu Chongjiu nodded his head nonstop with his eyes glowing. "Wu Yaxuan is the most distinguished refiner in the younger generation of the Xing Yao Federation. He is also the first super genius in his thirties who is capable of designing and refining a Crystal Suit on his own. Although 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang did not recruit him as a disciple, everybody knows that it was only because of seniority. His position in Jiang Shaoyang's team is more important and stable than Jiang Shaoyang's few true disciples. In the future, the 'genius' Wu Yaxuan will inherit the essence of the 'Deep Ocean Style' of the Refining Department of Deep Sea University, which is represented by Jiang Shaoyang and even 'Supernova' Jiang Sheng, who is a refiner of the older generation, will certainly be the 'genius' Wu Yaxuan!
"A super genius of refining. This is the first time that he has refined a Crystal Suit on his own. Although there are still a lot of immature parts in his work, many of his bold ideas and dauntless approaches have amazed an old guy like me!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at how the crystal reactor is embedded. It can only be described as breathtaking!"
While commenting, Chu Chongjiu raised his right hand and released bright blue spiritual waves, which rolled up the 'Azure Thunder' like tentacles.
This was a magical equipment test field. There were hundreds of examination platforms of different functions nearby. Chu Chongjiu held the Crystal Suit with his left hand behind his back and his right hand, fixing it on one of the examination platforms unhurriedly.
His eyelids were lowered, and his fingers were bouncing softly. The breastplate and the panels of the Crystal Suit were opened in cracking noises, revealing the internal rune arrays and components that were as delicate as a clock.
Chu Chongjiu seemed to be enjoying a delicate piece of music that nobody else could hear except for him. Shaking his head, he was fascinated and exclaimed nonstop. The bystanders waited in silence for five minutes. This time, he opened his eyes unhurriedly and said, not entirely satisfied, "Not bad. Not bad. I didn't know that I could run into such a promising young man in such a remote village at the edge of the cosmos!
"Sha, it's been a long day for you. The Crystal Suit that was crafted by Wu Yaxuan in person is not something that anybody can repair. You have done a very good job. The completion rate is at least 97%. When I meet your master, I'm going to compliment you with him!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Master Chu!"
Sha Yongming took a long breath in relief and almost burst into tears of joy. With Chu Chongjiu's compliment, he was probably going to pass the test!
"Master Chu —"
Zhao Tongtian was embarrassed.
"What's the hurry? I'm not done yet!"
Chu Chongjiu glanced at him in dissatisfaction, which made the 'Thunderous Lion' shudder hard. Then, he looked at Sha Yongming kindly and asked, "Sha, do you know why I said that your completion rate is only 97% and that there are still 3% carelessness? Where is it?"
"I'm not smart enough."
Sha Yongming said, his face full of hesitation. "I've performed every detail according to the maintenance manual. All the parameters have matched, but …"
"The parameters are dead, but the person is alive. The Crystal Suit is dead, but the Crystal Suit can be alive, too!"
Chu Chongjiu said. "The life of the Crystal Suit is the style of the refiner. It is the intense personal stamp that the Armadominus dedicated into the Crystal Suit when he assembled it in person! Other people have to operate according to the original 'texture', 'style', and 'stamp' when they maintain and adjust the Crystal Suit. Otherwise, the best they can do is to repair the 'body' of the Crystal Suit but fail to awaken the 'soul' of the Crystal Suit! "
"You are wise, Master Chu!"
Sha Yongming summoned his courage and said, "My master taught me the logic, too. I know that Wu Yaxuan is the real heir of 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang and that he has completely inherited Jiang Shaoyang's aggressive, radical, and bold style of refining. When I was maintaining and debugging the Crystal Suit, I dealt with it in a rather aggressive way, too. But I don't know where the problem lies exactly."
"Indeed, Master Chu."
Zhao Tongtian scratched his head and said, "What's wrong exactly?"
"That's why you don't know the whole story."
With a mysterious smile, Chu Chongjiu said casually, "Little Sand, you only see that Wu Yaxuan is the most excellent heir of 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang and that he has completely inherited his aggressive style. But have you ever carefully observed whether or not there is any difference in the styles of refining between the master and the disciple, who are known but not known?
"Let me tell you. Not only are there differences, they are also huge!
"The reason is very simple. Although Wu Yaxuan only distinguished himself in Jiang Shaoyang's refining team, his path of refining originated from his mother, Master Xie Anan of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution!
"Speaking of Master Xie, although she is one of the most distinguished experts in the circle of refiners of the Xing Yao Federation today, she is not very noticeable compared to 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang, who has a distinctive style. Many people think that Master Xie is not creative enough and that she is a second-tier person who can only keep what she has achieved but cannot develop anything. Getting to the bottom of it, it is because her talent in refining, which is the most critical aspect, has always been lacking.
"But I have a different opinion. I think very highly of Master Xie. Her refining style is unique. You can't find many similar refiners in the entire federation. She is even different from her master, 'Fiend Star' Li Yao, a genius of refining. If I have to describe her in one word, it would be 'harmony'!" "That's right.
