"Don't celebrate too soon. I need to see whether you have the ability first."
After saying that, Dragon Chen strode into the Refining Room.
Jiang Ping An followed him inside.
The guards at the entrance watched Jiang Ping An with envy.
"This guy is really lucky. He just arrived here and ran into Master Dragon. If I had studied refining back then, perhaps I could have learned something by following Master Dragon."
"Stop dreaming. Master Dragon is old-fashioned and extremely strict. So many people wanted to take him as their master, yet his harsh temperament drove them all away."
"Yeah, I heard Master Dragon is very demanding too. Because of that, no one is even willing to do odd jobs for him."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" The newly arrived guard still had doubts.
The older guard lowered his voice. "A disciple once fell short by ten percent when tempering divine materials, and Master Dragon directly smashed the semi-finished divine artifact that represented half a year of the disciple's hard work. Even his daughter gave up refining because she couldn't stand his temperament."
"Hiss! No wonder Master Dragon is always alone. That Refining Master who just arrived might get scared away too."
Jiang Ping An did not hear the conversation behind him. Following Dragon Chen, he entered the largest room in the Refining Room.
The moment he entered, a fierce heatwave rushed toward him, warping the surrounding air.
Before him stood a jet-black refining furnace as large as a small mountain. Flowing Flame Dao Patterns covered its body, while blue-gold flames flickered from its mouth, radiating a pressure capable of suppressing ten thousand tons.
All kinds of divine materials lay scattered around the room, each flashing with powerful energy fluctuations. Any one of them could fetch an astronomical price outside.
