In the refiners' circle, modifying a crafting furnace was a common practice. ¢
Every refiner had their own unique techniques and habits, and their requirements for crafting furnaces were very different.
The Empyrean Terminus Sect was a sect whose main business was to produce crafting furnaces. While providing modification services, they would not forbid others from modifying their crafting furnaces.
That was tantamount to pushing away the business that came to them.
However, there was a huge problem with self-modifying a crafting furnace. Once the modified crafting furnace malfunctioned, the refined magical equipment would be unqualified, or even a serious accident such as the furnace exploding, who would bear the responsibility in the end?
Whether it was the crafting furnace itself that had a problem, or the problem during the modification, this was not clear.
Therefore, it was possible to self-modify, but after the modification was completed, the refiners of the Empyrean Terminus Sect had to personally come and inspect it. After passing the inspection, a special approval glyph would be added to the crafting furnace.
With this glyph, it meant that the Empyrean Terminus Sect approved the modification as a success. In the future, if a problem occurred, the Empyrean Terminus Sect would bear the corresponding responsibility.
If the inspection failed, the Empyrean Terminus Sect would have to point out in detail where the problem was. If the modification party was still unconvinced, they could apply to the Refiners' Association for arbitration.
Every year, the Empyrean Terminus Sect would receive several hundred modification approval applications. This could be considered the sect's daily business.
However, the modification projects in the past few years were mostly aimed at the sixth generation Tai'e and above. Even the second and third generation Tai'e were rarely seen.
Who would have thought that someone would actually modify the first generation Tai'e and even put it into production!
The Mountain Sea Sect had transferred a nearly scrapped first generation Tai'e to the Grand Desolate War Institution. The Empyrean Terminus Sect knew a thing or two about this matter. Last time, they had even helped to find the blueprint of the first generation Tai'e.
However, at that time, the entire Empyrean Terminus Sect thought that the Grand Desolate War Institution would buy it back to study it and use it as a teaching tool for classes such as "Classic Crafting Furnace Structure".
After all, it was a university. It was normal to collect an antique crafting furnace.
Who would have thought that the Grand Desolate War Institution was really preparing to use the first generation Tai'e to refine and even seriously sending an approval application? Wasn't this a bit too miserable?
The entire Empyrean Terminus Sect lamented for a while before sending Jin Quan, a newcomer who had just graduated from Deep Sea University's Refining Department, to carry out the inspection mission.
In any case, the structure of the first generation Tai'e was very simple. . more than enough.
Originally, this matter should have ended there. However, somehow, the most senior person in the sect, Elder Lei Yongming, heard the news.
The old man was over 180 years old this year. Although his cultivation was only at the middle level of the Foundation Building stage, his seniority was still there. He had watched many of the Empyrean Terminus Sect's backbone and even the Elders grow up. He even knew what the Sect Master looked like when he wore open-crotch pants. Naturally, his status was different.
For an older generation refiner like Lei Yongming, they had personally experienced the glorious era of the 1st Generation Tai'e. They had even personally refined the components of the 1st Generation Tai 'e. The 1st Generation Tai' e had long become a symbol in their hearts.
When the old man heard that there was still a 1st generation Tai'e that was going to be put into production, he was extremely excited on the spot. Not only did he jump up and down to come with Jin Quan, he also wanted Empyrean Terminus Central High School to organize a group of top students to come and visit together.
In the words of the Don. He wanted to let these little brats experience how difficult it was for the Empyrean Terminus Sect's older generation, and how durable the artifacts refined by the Empyrean Terminus Sect were. Let them know how glorious it was to be a disciple of the Empyrean Terminus Sect!
Jin Quan, a member of the younger generation, naturally scoffed at the old man's idea.
In his opinion, if he had the time, he might as well organize a group of students to visit Deep Sea University's Refining Department. What was there to see in a ghost place like the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department?
However, who told the old man to be a person of virtue and prestige? Even the Sect Master didn't dare to fart in front of Lei Yongming, so what could Jin Quan do?
If the old man wanted to come, then he would accompany him. In any case, it would be fine as long as the old man was happy.
At present, the old man had been invited by Professor Yuan Manqiu of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department for an exchange. Jin Quan's temperament was somewhat impetuous and he didn't have any shrewdness. In front of these half-grown kids, there was naturally no need to hide his inner thoughts.
While they were talking, the floating shuttle slowly entered the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department.
Although they were mentally prepared, the students were still stunned by the desolate scene before their eyes.
"I'm not mistaken, right? Let alone the floating mountain, even these few buildings are crumbling. Is this really one of the grand Nine Elite Universities?"
"It's simply a ruin. It's a garbage dump!"
"Quick, look! There's even a statue in the middle of the garbage dump. It's making some weird noises. What is it?"
The students made a big fuss, venting the astonishment in their hearts to their heart's content.
Jin Quan smiled contemptuously. He curled his lips towards the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit not far away:
"Students, this is the second thing that you absolutely can't see anywhere else. It's a Crystal Suit. A Crystal Suit refined by the Grand Desolate War Institution!"
"Crystal Suit?"
All the students were in an uproar.
Everyone was a top student of Empyrean Terminus Central High School. In the future, they also wanted to develop in the direction of refining. Naturally, they weren't unfamiliar with a large-scale artifact platform like the Crystal Suit. They knew the difficulty of refining a Crystal Suit.
"Even Deep Sea University's Refining Department found it difficult to refine a new type of Crystal Suit. The Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department actually wants to refine a Crystal Suit?"
"No wonder there was an accident. It's really too risky, too radical!"
The students were all talking at once as they discussed spiritedly.
Jin Quan waited for the students to discuss for a while before he leisurely said:
"That's right. The Crystal Suit is an extremely complex artifact system. The level of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department is simply insufficient to refine a genuine Crystal Suit. Yet, they recklessly and forcibly refined it. As for the result, all the students have seen it."
"A lesson, a profound lesson!"
"Although cultivation is truly against the will of the heavens, on the road of cultivation, one must hold the attitude of drawing a sword, slaying tigers, slaying dragons, slaying gods, and annihilating Buddhas."
"However, there are times when a person's strength is limited. In the end, not everything can be accomplished by relying on brute force. The consequences of overestimating one's capabilities are this serious!"
Someone stretched out their hand: "Professor Jin, what about the third thing?"
Jin Quan sneered. A chill flashed through his eyes:
"The third thing is not a thing. It's a person. An ignorant and fearless madman who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He is also the only student of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department."
Li Yao's bold and visionary words in Floating Spear City. It had long spread throughout Deep Sea University's Refining Department.
Although Jin Quan had already graduated at that time, he had still heard the rumors.
As a refiner who had walked out of Deep Sea University, he naturally had extremely deep feelings for his alma mater. He was also filled with pride towards the words "Holy Land of Refiners".
Therefore, although he had yet to see Li Yao with his own eyes, Jin Quan was already filled with disgust towards this madman who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
After he repeated Li Yao's bold words, Li Yao's eyes lit up. All the students were shocked.
"Too... too arrogant, right?"
"Isn't it just a city-level college entrance exam champion? What's so great about that? The Federation has several thousand big cities!"
"He wants to challenge Deep Sea University's Refining Department by himself? It's simply a pipe dream! "
Everyone was a hot-blooded youngster. They were not repulsed by the general lofty aspirations.
However, no matter how they looked at it, Li Yao's declaration of war was completely out of line with reality. Coupled with the tragic sight of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department, it was even more like an enormous joke.
Jin Quan laughed:
"How is it? Professor Jin didn't lie to you, right?"
"The still operating 1st Generation Tai 'e Crafting Furnace. The dreg-like remains of the Crystal Suit, plus an ignorant and fearless madman. These are the three treasures of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. There is no other! "
The students nodded their heads again and again. One of the students couldn't help but sigh:
"Fortunately, I saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, after the college entrance exam, what if our scores were not enough? Maybe I would have accidentally applied to the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. That would have been disastrous! "
Jin Quan laughed:
"Everyone, please be at ease. This kind of thing will absolutely not happen. Because when you fill in your application form, the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department will have already been abolished! "
While speaking, the floating mountain slowly descended in a corner of the ruins.
In front of them was the warehouse of dangerous goods that had been transformed into a refining room.
Elder Lei Yongming of the Empyrean Terminus Sect had arrived a step earlier. He was discussing academic issues with Yuan Manqiu at the entrance of the warehouse. They were in high spirits.
Jin Quan lightly coughed. He winked his eyes and said with a smile:
"Fellow students, I'm not much older than you. I'm only saying these words because I consider you all my friends. If Elder Lei were to hear this, then I would be miserable! No one would snitch on me, right? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Many of the male students immediately shook their heads:
"Of course not. We are best friends with Teacher Jin. Everyone is chatting in private. How could anyone leak it out?"
Jin Quan was a graduate of a famous school. He was quite handsome and had a lively personality. He was quite popular in the high school and was the object of worship of many high school students. They all considered him as a big brother and spoke rather casually.
Jin Quan nodded his head and once again exhorted:
"Fellow students, although the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department is incomparably rotten, I reckon that the crafting furnaces they modified will also be bizarre."
"However, when you're really in front of them, you still have to respect them a bit. By all means, don't lose face for the Empyrean Terminus Sect."
"If there's anything funny, just hold it in your stomach and slowly laugh on the way back. Don't embarrass the master in front of his face."
"What's more, this tour was proposed by Elder Lei. If you really laugh on the spot, wouldn't you be not giving Elder Lei face?"
"Admittedly, Elder Lei is a good-tempered person and won't bicker with you kids. However, when you return to the Empyrean Terminus Sect, your parents will smack your butts!"
The students nodded their heads one after another:
"Understood, Professor Jin. No matter what we see, we will definitely endure!"
"Very good. Everyone, get off the shuttle and see what kind of 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department has modified!"
Jin Quan was in high spirits as he led the high school students and jumped off the shuttle.
Lei Yongming was almost two hundred years old. He had been engaged in refining for many years. His entire body was dark and thin, like an old farmer who had been exposed to the sun for too long.
However, his head was full of sparkling silver hair. Not a single strand of it was dull, which showed a somewhat extraordinary bearing.
Lei Yongming was in a rather good mood as he chuckled and asked:
"Jin Quan, have you explained the rules of entering the crafting room to the students?"
Jin Quan nodded his head and said respectfully:
"I've explained everything clearly. Inside the crafting room, no one is to randomly touch or move around. Everything must be done according to orders."
Lei Yongming was very satisfied as he stroked his goatee:
"That's good. Just a moment ago, I had an exchange with Professor Yuan of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department. I discovered that they have a lot of ingenious ideas regarding the modification of the 1st Generation Tai 'e furnace. It seems to be quite different from what I imagined. Let's not talk about it anymore. Professor Yuan, please take us in for a tour!"
"It should be us who should ask the old seniors of the Empyrean Terminus Sect to give us some pointers."
Yuan Manqiu said with a smile as she waved her plump hands at the numerous teenagers. "Fellow students of the Empyrean Terminus High School, please follow me. There is a yellow line on the ground. All you need to do is to stand outside the yellow line."
Jin Quan turned his head and mouthed to the students: "Endure. You must endure."
"Crash!"
The door of the warehouse opened.
