Chapter 849 - 849 A Strange Old Man!
849 A Strange Old Man!
After settling everything, everyone stayed in the Heavenly Book Academy.
The huge Heavenly Book Academy was like a city within a city. It already had everything one needed.
Chu Feng had originally planned to wait for Mo Tianji to return before going to the Sky Treasure Pavilion together to buy forging materials, so that he could earn some money.
However, after only an hour, he could not stand it anymore. He casually said goodbye to everyone and strolled out alone.
He walked aimlessly in the academy. Strangely, there did not seem to be many people in the academy, which was known as the top academy in the entire continent.
There were only a few of them, and most of them were outsiders like him. They were not students of the Academy.
Where did everyone go?
Filled with doubts, Chu Feng walked around, not knowing where to go.
The next moment, he suddenly looked up and realized that there was an ancient pagoda in front of him. There were a few words written on the top of the pagoda.
“Heavenly Book Forging Institute!”
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
He really got what he wanted.
Chu Feng wanted to understand the forging techniques of this era first. It was true that he had the inheritance of the Craftsman God, but it had been too long since Divine Blacksmith De Lu passed away.
Had there been innovations in the forging world?
Did the technology advance?
These were all things that needed verification.
Only by understanding everything could he forge a pertinent divine weapon.
He had to cater to the market demand!
Thinking of this, Chu Feng pushed the door open and walked in.
According to Mo Tianji, as long as he could push open the door, it was equivalent to there being no restrictions on this place. Outsiders could enter and exit as they pleased.
Fortunately, a crunch.
The door to the Heavenly Book Forging Institute was pushed open by Chu Feng.
Boom!
It was as if the forging institute had been sealed for a long time. Dust was rising.
Chu Feng choked and coughed.
Holding his mouth and nose, Chu Feng frowned.
“Is this really the Forging Institute of the Heavenly Book Academy? Why does it feel like it has been abandoned for a long time?!”
Although he was puzzled, Chu Feng still walked in carefully.
The forging institute was relatively bright. The sunlight from the window shone in and was warm.
However, there didn’t seem to be anyone around.
Where was everybody?!
Where did they go?
Chu Feng felt that he had come to a fake Heavenly Book Academy.
At this moment, an impatient voice suddenly came from behind.
“Hmm… Kid, close the door. The wind is coming in. It’s affecting my sleep!”
Chu Feng was shocked.
Turning around, he realized that…
Good Lord.
At the door, a sleepy old man was leaning against a recliner. He was holding a tattered fan in his hand and placed it casually in front of his chest.
Seeing that someone had entered, the old man only narrowed his eyes and opened them. After telling Chu Feng to close the door, he closed his eyes impatiently and continued to sleep.
To Chu Feng, it was not easy for him to see a living person. How could he let him off so easily?
He wanted to ask where everyone from the forging institute had gone.
But the old man actually flipped over.
Clearly, he did not want to bother with Chu Feng at all who had disturbed his sleep.
Chu Feng was speechless.
Was even the old man guarding the door so arrogant in the Heavenly Book Academy?
Since he was clearly impatient, Chu Feng would not be too enthusiastic.
He pursed his lips. Since no one cared, don’t blame him for being impudent.
Looking around, the first level of the ancient pagoda was very wide. There were many bookshelves standing there, and many forging-related books were neatly placed on them.
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
Wasn’t this what he was looking for?
With these books, he could roughly understand the current situation of the forging world.
Without any delay, he picked up a book called The Basic Principles of Forging and began to read it.
However, slowly, Chu Feng discovered that there were many books here, but they were all the most basic things. It was good for the blacksmith apprentices, but they were too childish for him…
Fortunately, Chu Feng only wanted to understand the style of the forging world in this era.
They could make do.
Without any hurry, Chu Feng was completely immersed in the sea of books.
After studying in the world of inheritance for a thousand years, the current situation was nothing to Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng did not notice that at this moment, the old man sleeping at the door had woken up at some point in time and was looking at Chu Feng with interest.
He muttered in a voice that only he could hear, “There are actually young people who can calm down and read now. It’s not easy…”
Of course, Chu Feng was still immersed in his own world and was not moved by anything else.
Finally, after an unknown period of time, Chu Feng felt that he had understood enough and stopped.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that there was a huge screen hanging behind the stack of bookshelves.
Questions kept appearing on it, all related to forging.
Perhaps it was the only high-tech thing in this dilapidated forging institute.
However, after Chu Feng read for a while, he discovered that they were all the most basic questions. Furthermore, they were in the form of fill-in-the-blank questions.
Some materials were given. He was asked to fill in the forging process.
It was purely theoretical, and the final product was not high-grade. It was at most at the level of a forging apprentice.
It was more like a puzzle game in the forging world.
However, it was a test of the solidity of one’s foundation.
Chu Feng happened to have nothing to do, so he immediately became interested.
He looked at the question that had appeared on the screen.
Question: With soft silver metal, Flame Essence Stone, and purple vines as the main materials, and any supplementary materials of your choosing, how can you forge a Violet Flame Spirit Whip? If possible, please list as many types of forging processes as possible. If accepted, you can obtain a large amount of Star Domain Essence as a reward.
Seeing this, Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
Coincidentally, he did not even know where to get the money to buy forging materials. There was a reward for answering the question? That could not be better!
Looking at the question, Chu Feng fell into deep thought.
This question was not difficult. The final product, the Violet Flame Spirit Whip, was only an apprentice-grade weapon.
Chu Feng could easily give a perfect forging process. However, since the goal was to obtain more rewards, he had to give as many types of combinations as possible.
This was a little difficult.
After some thought, he smiled confidently.
He picked up his brush and wrote rapidly on the screen.
One perfect forging technique after another was recorded by Chu Feng.
The extremely solid foundation laid down by a thousand years of inheritance had all turned into words.
The words carried a strong iron hammer style.
As a result, the methods Chu Feng gave were often unique and dazzling.
Just as Chu Feng was writing, the old man at the door had actually arrived behind Chu Feng at some point in time. He looked at the concise but perfect forging methods on the screen in surprise.
Surprise flashed across his eyes.
“What a solid foundation and unique style!”
This voice instantly woke up Chu Feng. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
When he saw who it was, he rolled his eyes angrily.
“Damn! Old man! Are you trying to scare me to death?!”
“You’re just an old janitor. How can you understand it?”
“Oh, that’s right. You’ve been staying in this forging institute every day. You should know a thing or two about these basic things.”
