"Master Liang, I am Zhaoling Shan, and this is a letter from my father, Zhao Jing, for you." Zhaoling Shan carefully took out a letter and handed it to Liang Yu, her previous arrogance completely subdued.
"So it's Princess Ling Shan." Liang Yu opened the letter, read it carefully, then looked up at Zhaoling Shan and said, "I have some acquaintance with Prince Kang. In the letter, he mentioned that you wish to become my disciple?"
"Yes, I very much want to become a weapon refiner."
"When I accept disciples, I never inquire about their background, only their talent and aptitude. If you are not qualified, even if you are Prince Kang's daughter, I will not accept you."
"I understand."
Zhaoling Shan responded nervously. Indeed, a second-level weapon refiner had the capital to be arrogant.
"Very well, follow me then."
Liang Yu nodded, and Zhaoling Shan hurriedly followed behind him, with Qin Fen following suit.
Qin Chen contemplated for a moment and then slowly walked over.
Chen Yufei addressed the onlooking guests, "Master Liang said earlier that if you need him to refine treasure weapons, you can write down what you need refined and the price you're willing to pay. Master Liang will select the orders he wants to take."
As soon as Chen Yufei finished speaking, countless guests swarmed forward, the scene bustling like a marketplace.
In a quiet room on the side of the hall, Liang Yu led Zhaoling Shan inside.
"What are you following for?" Qin Fen frowned and snapped at Qin Chen who had followed behind.
"Silence!" Liang Yu glanced at him disapprovingly, causing Qin Fen to shiver and immediately close his mouth, glaring at Qin Chen resentfully.
Liang Yu said, "To become a weapon refiner, the most important thing is mental strength aptitude. Only with strong mental strength can one engrave various inscriptions, talismans, and array patterns onto a treasure weapon, turning ordinary weapons into treasure weapons. In other words, strong mental strength is the foundation of becoming a weapon refiner."
"Prince Kang mentioned in the letter that you've been practicing martial arts for a long time. At sixteen, you're already a late-stage Human Level expert, and your awakened bloodline is a third-grade bloodline. So regarding aptitude, I won't test you further. You just need to pass the mental strength test, and I will agree to take you as my disciple."
Qin Chen glanced at Zhaoling Shan in surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly, "This girl is not only as beautiful as an immortal and graceful, but her cultivation is also shocking. A sixteen-year-old late-stage Human Level expert, and she has even awakened a third-grade bloodline."
Qin Chen, at fifteen, was only an early-stage Human Level martial artist, already considered a genius. Zhaoling Shan, just a year older, was two levels ahead of him, possessing even greater talent.
Moreover, she had awakened a third-grade bloodline.
Bloodline inheritance dates back to ancient times, varying in strength, thus for ease of classification, bloodline masters divided all bloodlines into nine grades, with first-grade being the lowest and ninth-grade the highest.
A third-grade bloodline, in a small place like the Great Qi Kingdom, is extremely rare, one in ten thousand.
Hearing Liang Yu affirm her talent, a hint of pride appeared on Zhaoling Shan's face.
In fact, she was hailed as one of the top ten beauties in the capital not only because of her extraordinary beauty but also due to her astonishing martial arts talent.
On the Tianwu Continent, martial strength is revered. No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she lacks strong martial talent, she won't attract attention.
Liang Yu frowned and said, "Go test your mental strength quickly."
Only then did Zhaoling Shan realize her situation, quickly restraining her expression, and followed Liang Yu to a gray stone pillar in the room.
"Channel your mental strength into this stone pillar before you."
"Yes."
Zhaoling Shan's slender, pale fingers lightly rested on the stone pillar, continuously infusing it with mental strength.
