"Kid, why are you looking at me like this?" Huo Jia felt his scalp tingle from Nie Tian's stare, and he snapped.
"Master Huo, don't you want to accept a disciple? What do you think of Lady Miao Miao?" Nie Tian did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Her?" Huo Jia was surprised. He glanced at Xuan Miao with a disdainful expression and chuckled, "If her mental strength is half as strong as yours, I'll accept her as my disciple."
Xuan Miao's expression was slightly awkward. She knew that both alchemists and craftsmen had high requirements for a cultivator's mental strength.
Since Nie Tian was an alchemist, his mental strength was naturally very high.
Xuan Miao could also tell that Huo Jia wanted to accept Nie Tian as his disciple, but Nie Tian was unwilling.
Huo Jia was the number one craftsman in the Black Moon Empire, and he could be ranked top ten in the entire Sumeru World. He showed a strong desire to accept a disciple, which was the dream of thousands of cultivators.
However, Nie Tian was unwilling.
If the young craftsmen in the Black Moon Empire saw this scene, they would definitely want to hammer Nie Tian to death.
In fact, Xuan Miao's mental strength was not bad, and she was currently at the twenty-seventh rank. Unfortunately, compared to a true genius in mental strength, she was still far from it.
"Master Huo, it's a deal," Nie Tian had already expected Huo Jia's reaction. He smiled strangely, and a sly look appeared in his eyes.
"It's a deal?" Huo Jia was slightly taken aback, and before he could react, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Nie Tian smiled indifferently, and his eyes were filled with confidence as he said, "Within a month, Miao Miao's mental strength will reach the thirty-fifth rank, and you will have to accept her as your disciple."
"Uh …" Huo Jia was speechless. He had just said it casually, but Nie Tian had taken it seriously. How cunning.
However, on second thought, he chuckled, "It's a deal then. Mental strength is something that needs to be accumulated over a long period of time. How can it be improved so easily? This old man doesn't believe that you can raise the little lass's spiritual power to the eighth stage within a month. "
"Let's wait and see." The corner of Nie Tian's mouth rose, full of confidence.
"Master Huo, I have another request." Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he smiled strangely.
"Speak." Fire Armor was very straightforward.
Nie Tian nodded with a smile and said, "Master Huo, I want you to announce to the public that Xuan Miao Miao is now your disciple, and that you want to hold an apprenticeship ceremony in public."
"Hmm?" Fire Armor raised his eyebrows. His goatee split into two as he sneered, "Little brat, are you that confident?"
"Yes!" Nie Tian nodded heavily and said: "If Miaomiao's mental power doesn't reach rank 35 in a month, I'll take you as my teacher. What do you think?"
"Really?" Fire Armor's eyes lit up as he stared blankly.
"I, Nie Tian, will never go back on my words." Nie Tian's face was indifferent, his whole body releasing a domineering confidence.
"Good!" Fire Armor excitedly slapped his thigh and laughed heartily. "Haha, this old man likes youths like you. You have courage."
Fire Armor didn't believe that Nie Tian could raise Xuan Miaomiao's mental power to the eighth stage in a month. It was simply impossible. He was already prepared to take Nie Tian as his disciple in a month.
Fire Armor was so happy to be able to take in a disciple with such monstrous mental power.
Nie Tian smiled faintly. He naturally only dared to bet with Fire Armor because he was completely confident.
Nie Tian had asked Fire Armor to announce that he would take Xuan Miaomiao as his disciple in advance because he wanted to find a big tree for her.
With Fire Armor's support, even if the matter between Xuan Qi and Yunmu was exposed, the Black Moon imperial family and Yun family wouldn't dare to attack the Xuan family's castle, let alone harm Xuan Miaomiao.
"Then this piece of Heavenly Profound Iron …" Nie Tian's gaze shifted to the Heavenly Profound Iron.
"I'll give it to you!" Fire Armor laughed. "Just treat it as a greeting gift from your master."
"…" Nie Tian was speechless. This old man was quite confident and thought that he had already won.
Nie Tian took out Heaven Severing Sword and handed it to Fire Armor. "Master Fire, my sword's grade is too low. I would like to ask you to fuse the Heavenly Profound Iron into it to raise its grade."
Fire Armor took the Heaven Severing Sword and carefully caressed it. His expression became somewhat awkward. "The material of this sword is very strange. It's a material I've never seen before. If I fuse the Heavenly Profound Iron into it, I can only raise the grade of the sword to the seventh grade. But if I just use the Heavenly Profound Iron to refine a sword, I'm confident that I can refine an eighth grade spirit weapon. "
"There's no need to refine it again. I only want this sword." Nie Tian solemnly nodded with a solemn expression.
Heaven Severing Sword was his companion sword in the Heavenly World. To be able to encounter it again after his rebirth was a sign of the fate between a sword user and a sword.
"Alright!" Since Nie Tian was so straightforward, Fire Armor naturally wouldn't object. He kept the Heaven Severing Sword and chuckled. "Boy, you haven't even acknowledged me as your master and you're already asking me to do such a big thing for you. You're really impolite."
Nie Tian shook his head and asked, "Master Fire, how long will it take you to reforge this sword?"
Fire Armor's eyes narrowed. He thought for a while and said, "The Heavenly Profound Iron is very difficult to refine. It's not easy to fuse it into an old sword either. I'll need half a month."
"Half a month." Nie Tian pondered for a while and immediately cupped his fists. "Thank you!"
During this half a month, Nie Tian happened to stay in the Black Moon Empire to help Xuan Miaomiao improve her mental strength while meeting the geniuses from the four academies.
As for Xun Hai and Jin Dabao, Nie Tian believed that they would be fine.
Nie Tian and Fire Armor agreed to meet at the Craftsmen's Guild tomorrow. At that time, Fire Armor would hold an official apprenticeship ceremony for Xuan Miaomiao.
After that, Nie Tian and Xuan Miaomiao bade farewell to Fire Armor and headed to the Blue Dragon Academy.
Along the way, Nie Tian inquired about Xuan Miaomiao's mental strength cultivation. He found out that the latter had not gone through real mental strength cultivation.
Generally speaking, ordinary martial artists who did not cultivate their mental strength would have a mental strength between level ten to level twenty.
Xuan Miaomiao's mental strength was level twenty-seven, which was considered very high.
It was because of this that Nie Tian suggested to let Xuan Miaomiao worship Fire Armor as her master.
Nie Tian guessed that the reason why Xuan Miaomiao's mental strength was so high should be related to the bloodline seal in her body.
He was very curious about the power of the Xuan family's bloodline. It actually came with a seal.
After a while, the two arrived outside the Blue Dragon Academy.
There were two huge stone pillars with dragon carvings at the gate. They were a hundred meters tall and looked very imposing.
"Brother Nie Tian, let's go in." Xuan Miaomiao giggled and led the way.
She would become Fire Armor's disciple tomorrow. Of course she was happy.
"Stop right there!" Just as Nie Tian and Xuan Miaomiao stepped into the academy, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh?" Nie Tian was slightly stunned. He looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man with a murderous look in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Nie Tian's face was slightly cold as he asked in a deep voice.
