After coming out of the Star Mist Hall, Su Yuan was not in a hurry to return to his dormitory.
"Now that I''ve broken through to the Bronze Intermediate Stage, I should visit my teacher. Also, I might as well ask about crafting the fire-element longsword."
Blue-grade weapons were extremely precious to Gold Level experts. Generally speaking, Bronze Level didn''t need to consider them.
With Su Yuan''s current knowledge and insight, he only understood the grade of blue-grade weapons, but he was utterly clueless about the crafting details, materials used, and enhancement directions.
For matters like this, it was best to get advice from Burning Sun experts.
Not long after, Su Yuan arrived at the Book Tower. After waiting for a while at the "usual place," Yang Yifeng walked over with great strides.
"Broken through to the Bronze Intermediate Stage?" Yang Yifeng''s eyes lit up as he looked Su Yuan up and down.
Su Yuan responded, "I just used the Star Mist Pool to complete the breakthrough."
"Good! I didn''t expect Shang Baiyu to break through just over a month ago, and you''ve also broken through now.
When I first met you two, I remember you had just broken through to the Bronze Level, and your Star Power Realm was quite behind his.
To catch up so quickly, you''ve done well!"@@@@
Yang Yifeng appeared very pleased with Su Yuan''s quick advancement to the Bronze Intermediate Stage.
"What brings you here this time?"
Su Yuan waved his hand, and a hefty piece of Red Fire Essence Gold landed on the table.
"Is this... Red Fire Essence Gold?" Yang Yifeng recognized it at a glance, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Su Yuan nodded. "Teacher, I obtained this during my last trip to Red Sand Flame Island."
Yang Yifeng picked up the Red Fire Essence Gold and toyed with it. "So you want to gather materials to craft a blue-grade weapon yourself?"
"That''s right, please guide me."
"You''re quite smart, knowing to come to me." Yang Yifeng laughed heartily, placing the Red Fire Essence Gold back on the table. "With Red Fire Essence Gold as the main material, it''s barely enough to forge a blue-grade weapon."
After a brief thought, Yang Yifeng stood up. "Alright then, I have nothing to do today. Why don''t you come with me to visit an old friend?"
An old friend?
Su Yuan''s teacher was a Burning Sun expert, and his friends were most likely high-level masters as well.
Su Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Yang Yifeng.
At first, Su Yuan thought his teacher''s friend was within the academy.
But to his surprise, Yang Yifeng directly led him out of the academy gate and headed east.
After a long while, they arrived in front of a mansion in the suburbs of the Demon Capital.
The plaque in front of the mansion''s gate had the words "Situ Mansion" written on it. The calligraphy was vigorous and graceful, not overly refined but possessing a unique charm.
From the large open gate, a massive garden was visible, with many Level One and Level Two Spirit Plants planted. On both sides were large Pearls of Reflection Moon Pines.
Situ Bai, though, detected something, sighing inwardly.
Just then, a pretty young girl in a light yellow robe, her hair adorned with a red stone jade hairpin, walked in with a tea tray.
She served tea to the three, then greeted Yang Yifeng, "Grandpa Yang."
Yang Yifeng was stunned, surprised. "Is this... Little Qingyin?"
Situ Bai laughed. "Can''t recognize her?"
"Grown so much in a few years! Last time, she was no taller than my chest, and now she''s taller than me! Little girl has grown up!"
Yang Yifeng scrutinized Situ Qingyin, stroking his beard with a smile. "Not bad, very pretty!"
Situ Bai laughed. "Girls change a lot. You haven''t visited in years, of course she''s different."
Situ Qingyin smiled. "Grandpa, Grandpa Yang, I''ll leave you to your talk."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Qingyin, wait a moment." Situ Bai called her back.
"Grandpa, what else?"
"Your Grandpa Yang''s student wants to craft a blue weapon, I''ll leave it to you."
Grandpa Yang''s student? A blue weapon?
Situ Qingyin looked at Su Yuan standing beside Yang Yifeng and nodded. "Okay."
Both Yang Yifeng and Su Yuan were surprised. Yang Yifeng asked directly, "Situ Bai, what do you mean? Let Qingyin craft it? Even if you taught her artifact refining from a young age... she''s not even 20 yet, right?"
Situ Bai crossed his arms. "So what if she''s not 20? Can''t she craft a blue weapon?" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Situ Bai smirked. "Last year, Qingyin made a blue weapon. To date, she has crafted three!"
"What?!" Yang Yifeng looked at Situ Qingyin anew. "Under 20 years old, three blue weapons? Truly a genius... Her refining talent might rival yours!"
Situ Bai, proud of Yang Yifeng''s praise for his granddaughter, smiled smugly. "She''s even better than I was at her age!"
Situ Qingyin approached, asking, "What kind of blue weapon do you want?"
Yang Yifeng beckoned. "Su Yuan, tell Qingyin yourself."
Su Yuan nodded, placing the Red Fire Essence Gold on the table. "Master Qingyin, I want to craft a fire-element longsword using this Red Fire Essence Gold as the main material."
An Artifact Refiner able to craft blue weapons was already a master. Addressing her as such was appropriate.
"Red Fire Essence Gold, quite a good material." Situ Qingyin nodded, then asked, "Besides the specs, do you have any other requirements for the longsword?
Like elemental enhancement, burst enhancement, reduced consumption, or any special effects?"
Su Yuan pondered. "Hardness, sharpness, normal fire-element enhancement will do. I don''t have any other special requirements."
