In the basement of the mansion, Ling Xian calmed himself down and tried to make a basic armor according to the method Zhao Feng taught him.
The so-called basic armor was a prototype without any abilities. However, it was the most important armor. Just like with cultivation, the stronger the foundation, the higher the achievement.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't dare to be reckless. He took out the materials Qin Bing prepared a long time ago and carefully crafted them.
They weren't too different from the materials on the Planet of Eternal Immortals. They were just called differently. Therefore, he wasn't unfamiliar with them.
However, the crafting process was very difficult.
For one, it required far too many parts – tens of thousands. For two, some of the parts were very small and troublesome to craft.
Therefore, Ling Xian failed on his first attempt.
However, he didn't give up. He first analyzed the reasons for his failure and then tried again.
This time, Ling Xian was even more careful. Sadly, the result was still failure.
The reason for his failure was the same as last time. It was because some parts didn't meet the requirements and couldn't be assembled into a basic armor.
"You can't even make a basic armor and you want to make a golden armor? Stop daydreaming."
Following this sarcastic statement, Qin Bing walked into the basement with a smile on her lips.
"Are you happy that I failed?" Ling Xian's expression was strange.
"Of course. To me, this is a happy event." The corner of Qin Bing's lips curled up.
But in the next second, her smile froze on her face.
"But I am using your materials."
"The more times I fail, the less money you have."
"So, you should be hoping that I succeed. After all, these materials are expensive."
Ling Xian shrugged, his eyes were full of mockery.
"Bastard, you are a bastard!" Qin Bing's teeth were itching from hatred. Thinking about the materials Ling Xian wasted just now, her heart was dripping blood.
Armor was an important weapon of the country, a treasure of the people, so its materials were naturally valuable.
Even with her family's wealth, she could at most get 10. Yet Ling Xian had already wasted two. How could she not feel heartache?
"Other than 'bastard', can't you call me something else? My ears are growing calluses. "
Ling Xian faintly smiled.
"Shameless!" Qin Bing was so angry that his entire body was shaking.
"How boring." Ling Xian chuckled, "Alright, go away. Don't disturb me while I am crafting my armor."
Then, he calmed his mind and started to refine again.
After two failures, Ling Xian had figured out the reason. It wasn't that he wasn't skilled enough, it was that he wasn't careful enough.
There were simply too many parts in a suit of armor. Including the extremely small parts, there were more than 10,000 of them.
With such a heavy workload, it was inevitable that mistakes would occur if he were to refine it alone. After all, Ling Xian was a human, not a machine.
Moreover, those tiny parts were extremely difficult to refine. A slight mistake would cause the entire armor to collapse.
Therefore, Ling Xian was even more focused this time. With the experience from the previous two times, his speed of brewing had obviously increased.
One by one, the parts took shape in his hands. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, pleasing to the eye.
At the side, Qin Bing was stunned, and his attitude quietly changed.
They were no longer filled with contempt. Instead, they were gradually filled with astonishment and shock.
In the beginning, she only saw Ling Xian's failure and ignored an important factor.
That was that all the parts of the armor were made by Ling Xian alone.
Remember that there were more than 10,000 parts in an armor, and it has always been made by many people. After all, the workload was far too heavy. If it was made by one person, it would be too much of a waste of time.
Yet Ling Xian, with his own strength, brewed it twice within a few hours. Ignoring everything else, this speed alone was shocking.
Looking at his smooth crafting, it was hard to imagine that he was a newbie who had only learned about armors for a few days!
"It looks like he has a lot of talent in this area."
Qin Bing frowned. She had some understanding of armors and knew very well how difficult it was to make one so smooth. At the very least, one had to be an intermediate level armorsmith to be able to do this. But Ling Xian was clearly a newbie who had only learned about armors for a few days.
Therefore, she could only attribute it to his talent.
"Just where did this person come from? He sure is like a ball of fog. It is hard to see. "
Qin Bing silently sighed. For some reason, she felt annoyed and accidentally made some noise.
After being disturbed by her, Ling Xian lost control of the True Flame of Purity and it filled the entire basement.
In the next second, other than a few materials, all the other materials were burned. Even though his reaction was fast and he immediately retracted the Flame of Purity, he couldn't stop this tragedy.
"My money!" Qin Bing screamed. Her heart was bleeding.
The materials used to craft armors were not cheap. Even with her wealth, she could only afford a few sets.
Now, another set was wasted. How could she not feel heartache?
"Who told you to disturb me? I told you to be quiet."
Ling Xian was helpless as he shifted his gaze towards Qin Bing. Then, he froze.
This was because Qin Bing's clothes had also been incinerated. At this moment, she was completely naked.
"Bastard!"
Qin Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you control that damned flame?"
"Ehem, ehem, now is not the time to scold me. You better look at yourself first …" Ling Xian coughed.
"Look at myself?" Qin Bing was startled. Lowering her head to look at her flawless body, she let out a piercing scream.
"You, you, you … you pervert! Bastard!"
"What does this have to do with me? If you didn't disturb me, the fire wouldn't have gone out of control. "Ling Xian's face was innocent.
"Turn around!" Qin Bing's legs were pressed together and her hands were covering her chest. Her entire body was shaking.
It wasn't hard to imagine just how angry she was.
Seeing this, Ling Xian turned around and tossed a white robe to Qin Bing.
At this, Qin Bing acted like a drowning person seeing a piece of floating wood. After a few breaths, she put the robe back on.
This made her sigh in relief. However, her face was so red it looked like blood could drip out.
"Now, can I turn around?" Ling Xian was helpless.
"No!" Qin Bing clenched her teeth, "Tell me, did you do this on purpose?"
"What on purpose?" Ling Xian was speechless, "If I wanted to take advantage of you, I would've had plenty of opportunities. Why would I waste a room full of materials?"
Hearing this, Qin Bing was silent and speechless.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Don't mind it too much."
Ling Xian turned around and smiled, "I didn't see it clearly anyways."
"Don't mind it too much?" Qin Bing's lungs were about to explode from anger. Ling Xian saw her naked body, how could she not mind?
"Ehem, ehem, what happened has already happened. I can only let it go."
Ling Xian coughed, feeling a little uneasy.
Then, he turned around and left, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed in the air.
"I've used up all the materials. Remember to get a few more."
Hearing this, Qin Bing went completely insane. Curses of "bastard" echoed throughout the mansion and lingered.
…
The next morning, Ling Xian left the mansion and headed towards the Xuan Huang University.
Originally, he was in a good mood. But when he arrived at the school gate, he frowned.
Because the young man who taught him a lesson yesterday was looking at him with pride.
