Alaster looked at Henrick, who was having a small smile on his face and felt a little disappointed.

Because it was almost impossible for someone to understand his technique only after seeing it one time.

​​

"Are you sure?"

So, he asked Henrick one more time whether he was sure or not.

"Yes, master,"

Currently, Henrick only wanted to refine a weapon and see whether he could refine a weapon or not.

'Why does he sound so confident?'

Alaster was puzzled at Henrick's confidence and said, "Okay. I will be in another room. I will come in the evening. As long as you refine a weapon, I will give you some reward."

At the same time, he silently thought in his head, 'As long as he tries, he would learn from his mistakes.'

He wanted Henrick to learn from his own mistakes till evening for his confidence.

"Till evening?"

Henrick was surprised for a moment before becoming excited and nodded his head.

"Yes. You are not allowed to come outside of this weapon refining room till evening. There are exactly 100 metal blocks left in this room. So, you can try refining a weapon with those 100 metal blocks,"

While saying his words, Alaster pointed his finger to his left where the low-quality metal blocks from earlier were lying there.

"Okay then. I am leaving now,"

As soon as he finished all the explanations to Henrick, Alaster directly left that weapon refining room and entered another weapon refining room to complete the orders for both inner sect and cultivation families in Vlester city.

'I hope, even if he didn't refine a weapon till evening, he should understand many things about weapon refining with those 100 metal blocks,'

This was the thought in Alaster's mind when he entered the other refining room.

....

"Finally, I can refine as many weapons as possible,"

As soon as Alaster left the weapon refining room, Henrick didn't waste any time and moved towards the metal blocks.

For a weaponsmith, the more he practices, the more skilful he would become. Even if a rank 1 weaponsmith refines thousands of rank 1 weapons, then he would bound to some kind of enlightenment in weapon refining that would help him refine a rank 2 weapon.

So, Henrick wanted to refine as many weapons as possible which would help him reach rank 2.

'First, I will use my own method before using the common forging process,'

Henrick directly didn't use Alaster's weapon refining technique; instead, he wanted to test his 'Purification with thought' technique.

'Swoosh'

Soon, his pure internal fire energy came out of his body and melted the low-quality metal block within less than 10 seconds.

'Split'

'Cover'

After that, he divided his pure internal fire energy into 2 and prepared a mould of a sword similar to the one refined by Alaster.

In one hand, he melted the metal block and on the other hand a weapon mould. After many failures in the trial, Henrick became more skilful in using his pure internal fire energy.

'Purification with a thought'

Within no time, he came to the last step in which he would be teleported to some separate space along with the weapon where he would adjust the shape and removing the impurities from the weapon.

'Ding,

A normal rank 1 sword is refined.

'Phew'

As soon as he heard that notification from the system, he opened his eyes and the common sword was lying in his hand.

'Now, it is time for the common process,'

He didn't want to waste any time because before evening he had to finish refining all 100 metal blocks.

'Ding,

Master, a new mission is generated for you.

Just when he picked a metal block, he received a system notification that made him pause for a second.

'Ding,

Mission name:- Refine refine and refine

Mission details:- As a rank 1 weaponsmith, the master has to continuously refine weapons. So refine 50 weapons from the 99 metal blocks using a common process.

Reward:- Enlightenment (Weapon refining)

Since it would take only a moment to take a look at the mission details, Henrick opened the system notification and soon, a halographic screen with mission details appeared on it.

"Huh? Enlightenment?"

Henrick raised his brows as he became a little excited with the reward from the mission and next looked at the mission details.

"Oh. So, I have to use the common process to refine 50 weapons,"

After reading the details, Henrick felt he could complete the mission as long as he focused.

Just like Henrick's first weapon refining technique, the common refining process also required careful attention and full focus.

Moreover, it was his first time trying this common process, he would take some refinements where he would fail. So, he had to be careful while refining.

"Let's start,"

Henrick didn't waste any more time as he started the common refinement process.

...

In another weapon refining room,

"Looks like he started the process,"

Alaster, who was using his internal fire energy to refine some high-grade weapons thought in his head as he once again maintained his focus on the weapon he was refining.

"I can complete all the orders within time If I don't take any long breaks,"

Also, he was confident in completing the orders as he casually refined a rank 3 weapon.

….

Outside the weapon building hall, Louis and his fellow brothers were patiently waiting for Henrick to come.

….

The sect leader Gamos and his uncle Zerg were back to their research on bloodlines.

…

Nick was working hard to strengthen his muscle with the help of his pure internal fire energy while increasing the number of rounds in stage 3 of the muscle-strengthening realm.

His aim was to reach the energy condensation realm before the outer sect yearly tournament.

….

As for the outer sect disciples, they were similar to Nick. They wanted to increase their cultivations as high as possible so that they would get a nice position in the tournament.

…..

Everyone was busy with their own tasks or mission except for one member and it was none other than the baby fire monkey, Spark.

Currently, it was sleeping on the stone bed without any worry in the world.

...

In the dark cultivation abode where Curator, the demonic cultivator used to live, some appeared in the dark.

'His life-talisman is destroyed. Looks like he got himself killed somewhere in the outer sect,'

It was none other than Steward, who used to give missions to the Curator.

It's been a while since he had last talked with him. So, Steward came to pay him a visit; however, after entering the cultivation abode, he noticed that the Curator's life talisman was destroyed.

Life talisman, as a talisman that would help others know whether they were alive or dead.

Many masters order their students to fill that talisman with their internal fire energy when they were sent on some dangerous missions.

So, if they were killed on that mission, their internal energy inside the life talisman would be disappeared and the talisman would be turned black from original green colour.

"Pawn Curator is dead….killer unknown,"

Steward didn't waste any time as he took out a voice transmitting talisman and spoke into it before silently leaving the cultivation abode.
