“Senior, can I go back and think about it?” Lan Xuanyu said with a wry smile.
Yang Yingming said, "Of course. But, junior brother! From your performance just now, you are indeed very suitable for forging. We blacksmiths can also save money and try a piece of metal a few more times. Shenyin is a good choice. The price is relatively cheap. For such a large piece, a white-level badge can be exchanged for two pieces. It is enough for you to practice for half a month. I will teach you three lessons, and you can practice on your own for a month, and then buy my course. I tell you, I am almost at the fourth level. After I become a fourth-level blacksmith, the cost will definitely be a bit higher."
"I understand." Lan Xuanyu nodded quickly. However, what he had to consider now was whether he really wanted to learn forging!
After leaving the Shrek Forging Association, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but feel helpless. He thought he had earned a lot of badges, but he spent some money on buying water drop gems. He would need three more yellow badges to go back to the Sea God Lake to practice. If he learned forging again, he could persist for a while, but it would be rare to earn badges as smoothly as before!
What should I do? Should I learn forging
He decided to go to Tang Zhenhua to ask.
Tang Zhenhua went directly to the Interstellar Center to explain his purpose. He said without hesitation: "Just forge. Don't worry that forging is very expensive, but in fact, what your senior said is right. If you are really talented in this area and have a sufficient success rate, then you will be able to be self-sufficient in the future. When you become a level 5 forger, the metal you forge will be in short supply and can even be used as a stable source of income. As for the early stage, there must be a period of investment. It depends on you to find a way to earn badges."
Lan Xuanyu now fully understood why Fatty Qian chose design. Design was the cheapest thing. These two brothers really favored him! They let him do the most expensive thing.
Lan Xuanyu sighed helplessly, "Then I'll give it a try. Teacher, I plan to go to Poseidon Lake to practice again tonight. Will you come with me?"
Tang Zhenhua's mouth twitched, and he said without hesitation: "No, no. How can a teacher always follow his students? Just go by yourself. As long as no one urges you, practice in there for a while."
"Oh well."
There was something wrong with Tang Zhenhua's expression. Coupled with the torture he had suffered yesterday, Lan Xuanyu wisely chose to run away, saying that he was going back to adjust his state to prepare for the evening practice.
After he left, Tang Zhenhua snorted. He seemed to still feel some pain from the beating he received last time. But this kid absorbed a lot of life energy last time, and he digested it now? No wonder the Life School said that he has a high affinity for life.
Back in the dormitory, Lan Xuanyu silently recalled the forging process today, and had some feelings in his heart. Well, it was still very good. He seemed to like the feeling of concentration. It seemed that in the forging with concentration, even his mental strength was forged, which should be helpful for improving his mental strength.
However, it is really expensive! The first attempt is free, but you have to buy rare metals yourself and hire a teacher for the rest.
Night falls.
Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei, who had made an appointment, left the dormitory and walked towards the place where Lan Xuanyu had been last time.
The one guarding the Sea God Lake was still Tang Yue whom Lan Xuanyu had met last time. He was here again, and he brought someone with him. Tang Yue immediately came up to him with a big smile on his face.
"Hello, Teacher Tang." Lan Xuanyu hurriedly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Are you here to practice at Sea God Lake again? Have you completely absorbed the life energy you absorbed last time?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.
“Yeah, it’s all been absorbed.” Lan Xuanyu said hurriedly.
Tang Yue gave him a thumbs up, "Great! Not bad, not bad. You are indeed worthy of being a person with a strong affinity for life. Did you bring your classmates with you this time?"
"Yes, that's right. This is my classmate Qian Lei. He also wants to try practicing in the Sea God Lake." Lan Xuanyu said.
Qian Lei nodded repeatedly, "Hello, Teacher Tang."
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead. However, the fees are set by the academy. Your entry will be recorded, so..."
"Understood." Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei each took out three yellow-level badges and handed them over.
Tang Yue accepted the badge, but Lan Xuanyu and the others felt a pang of pain in their hearts. It was really too expensive to practice in Poseidon Lake. This was definitely one of the most luxurious ways of practicing in the outer courtyard.
On weekdays, few people would come to the Sea God Lake to practice. Three yellow badges can do a lot of things in Shrek Academy. Even if it is used to support Lan Xuanyu's forging, it is enough to support him for several months. But here, it is only an hour of practice.
After passing through the portal guarded by Tang Yue, Qian Lei's eyes suddenly widened. The extremely rich vitality here was definitely shocking enough for him.
Even when he was in the Eternal Sky City before, he didn't have this feeling. It seemed that the Eternal Sky City deliberately isolated and controlled the intensity of life energy. But the life energy here was not suppressed at all, and it was as rich as if it was soaked in liquid. Qian Lei felt that the surface of his skin seemed to be wet.
"Let's go, not a second can be wasted." Lan Xuanyu pulled Qian Lei and ran, and came to the place where he practiced last time with ease. Then he quickly took off his clothes and jumped onto a water lily as if to demonstrate.
As soon as his body came into contact with the water of Poseidon Lake, he almost moaned in comfort. The feeling of being enveloped by the extremely rich life energy was just too wonderful. He didn't even need to urge it, the blood vortex in his body instantly accelerated and began to frantically absorb the life energy in the lake water.
Qian Lei followed suit. His obsession with money was even greater than Lan Xuanyu's, so he was naturally even more unwilling to waste it. He quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the Poseidon Lake.
Under the rush of rich life energy, he suddenly felt as if his body had relaxed, and the vitality that was consumed by Fatty Jin yesterday was being replenished rapidly.
Qian Lei was not polite, he immediately opened his mouth and started drinking. This stuff, one liter requires a white-level badge! Drink as much as you can. At the same time, he quietly released Fatty Jin underwater.
When Fatty Jin was released, his body was underwater and he felt a little suffocated. He was startled and started to struggle. However, in just a moment, he felt the beauty of the water of Poseidon Lake.
His eyes suddenly widened, and all the hair on his body seemed to become brighter under the washing of the Poseidon Lake water.
"Drink quickly, drink quickly. Drink as much as you can. This is precious!" Qian Lei pulled it to the surface of the water, let it catch its breath, and then whispered.
Fatty Jin blinked his eyes and immediately understood. His little eyes lit up and he lowered his head and opened his mouth wide.
Qian Lei only felt that his body seemed to sway forward a bit, and in front of him, as if a small vortex suddenly appeared, the water from the Sea God Lake rushed into Fatty Jin's body and was swallowed up by it crazily. The speed of drinking water was unknown how many times faster than his.
While the two brothers were drinking water here, Lan Xuanyu was already immersed in the perception of the changes in his blood.
Unlike last time, after being harmonized by the colored crystal, his two bloodlines merged into one, and this fusion also prevented them from conflicting with each other.
At this moment, rich vitality was injected into his body, and the first thing to be replenished was his blood vortex. Lan Xuanyu only felt that the blood vortex was immediately filled up rapidly, and the colored crystal on his chest also emitted a faint light. A warm feeling was injected into his body. The life energy gathered in the blood vortex like a sea. The vortex rotated peacefully, and the absorption speed seemed to be faster than last time.
