Chapter 10, Proud Wind Hall (Part 1)

The old man nodded slightly and casually tossed out a牌子, saying: "Just take this to Aofeng Hall and explain your purpose."

The task systems released by various major factions are mostly based on this template, and the Sun family is no exception

The strength of the Six Gates of the Human Race in the Seven Realms of the Dark Sea is exceptionally formidable. It is important to note that the resources controlled by the dynasty are far beyond what ordinary sects, martial academies, or noble families can compare to; it is indeed the "strength of the entire nation"

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel an even deeper hatred for Sun Yun

After several days, he has reached the peak of the Six Meridians Power through "gluttony" and his own arduous training, but he has become stuck here

There are quite a few underpowered disciples who wish to rely on family missions to earn resources for their cultivation, and thus can only team up with each other to complete them. As soon as Sun Ang appeared, several team leaders showed expressions of delight and wanted to approach him, but then it seemed they recalled something, and their expressions slightly changed as they hesitated to move forward

Sun Ang clearly saw the number on the sign and returned to the counter: "Excuse me, I would like to take task number 46"

In the blink of an eye, a large number of applicants were dismissed. Although these individuals felt indignant, they did not dare to offend the people of Aofengtang and left with resentment.

Aofeng Hall is a place dedicated to weapon forging within the ancestral land, overseen by the sole craftsman of the Sun family, Sun Ningyuan

It was Sun Ang's turn. His mastery of the Six Meridians was strikingly exceptional, making him stand out like a crane among chickens. Even the disciple from the Proud Wind Hall was taken aback: "Six Meridians? The Fire Bull Cannon Fist and the Blue Fish Transformation, why are you wasting your time here instead of hunting ferocious beasts in the wild?"

The Sun family has its own set of task systems, which are derived from the Six Gates of this world

The third disciple, Sun Jue, sneered and said: "What are you jealous of? Who told you that you don't have a good father to find you exceptional spiritual pills? Are you envious? What good does that do?"

Sun Ang secretly sneered, not bothering to glance at those gazes, and strode out of the dining hall. However, he knew that the promise made by Sun Yun would make his subsequent cultivation particularly arduous, as those individuals would undoubtedly resort to all manner of means, both overt and covert.

Only the power of four veins? How dare you come to the Proud Wind Hall with such a level? I fear you cannot even lift a hammer.

Within the realm of humanity, only those grand religious institutions can be compared to it

The transition from the power of the Three Meridians to the power of the Six Meridians took less than a month, truly a genius. The disciple speaking, named Sun Xiu, seemed to be praising, yet both his tone and gaze were filled with a strong sense of mockery

However, because no one is willing to team up with Sun Ang, he is unable to complete it on his own.

Although Sun Ningyuan is still far from this realm, a creator is already enough to command respect. Therefore, when Sun Ang saw a long line outside the Ao Feng Hall, he couldn't help but smile wryly, yet he was not surprised.

However, they must have ultimately thought of Sun Yun's "bounty"; as long as they join his team, they will likely have to be constantly wary of being plotted against, which would be a loss outweighing the gain

This task does not appear to be difficult, nor is there a limit on the number of people who can take on the task. The reward is a third-level mental technique, which is indeed quite good. However, it is stated within the task that, although the difficulty is low, the requirements are quite high

The disciples who have entered the realm of the Five Veins through their own strength secretly look down on Sun Hai, believing that they can easily surpass him

Cultivation requires resources, and within the Six Gates, there is a substantial supply of resources, attracting numerous experts to join.

Sun Ang secretly sighed, realizing that his mastery of the Six Meridians was already considered strong among the average disciples, and that these teams were all vying for him

He could not help but frown in contemplation, as he clearly felt that his accumulation was already more than sufficient, and he should have been able to break through to the realm of the Seven Veins of Power, yet he was just a step away from it

Not only must one persist for ten days, but one must also be responsible for forging ten qualified ingots each day; otherwise, no remuneration will be received

Sun Ningyuan is a Second-Order Creator, specializing in weapons and armor. If someone can merge these two great professions, they will be able to forge the most powerful treasure in the world: the Danqi!

He shook his head, feeling that such a simple form of cultivation would likely be difficult to improve in the short term. Perhaps, he should change his method of practice and try undertaking some tasks.

Each of you must submit ten iron ingots every day, with a requirement of at least eight folds and hammering. There must not be a single crack, nor any trace of impurities; otherwise, it will be deemed unqualified

The profession of a Master Artisan is a highly esteemed one within the Seven Realms of the Dark Sea, divided into two main categories: Alchemists and Artificers

On the surface, Sun Ang still walked calmly to the counter to explain his intentions

Sun Ang and the other four were taken to a large house nearby, which was fully equipped with all necessary facilities. The disciple explained briefly: "This is the place. There are no particular skills to impart when it comes to blacksmithing.

Once he clearly saw Sun Ang's name, he immediately felt relieved: "Oh, so it's you."

Entering the courtyard, at the center of the * diagram * book stands a massive iron smelting furnace, with over ten disciples carefully operating it.

As for Sun Ang, he was once notorious for being useless; to be able to elevate to the Six Meridians of Power in such a short time, one must say that there is certainly some trickery involved

The other four individuals all possessed the power of the Five Veins, and their gazes towards Sun Ang were filled with eagerness.

The room is equipped with exactly five sets of tools, including hammers, pliers, and iron mats, among others

The Six Gates has a comprehensive task reward system, which includes pursuits, investigations, assassinations, and other related activities

Sun Ang understood that this was how the outside world "legend" himself. He did not want to argue, nor did he need to argue. He had already left them far behind, and once he distanced himself even further, they would realize how ridiculous their arrogance today was

Further down, there are some simple tasks, including even the task of clearing the waterways. However, such tasks, which carry little danger, offer pitifully low rewards. In fact, the lowest reward is merely two pounds of first-tier beast meat.

However, before he could finish speaking, he stumbled unexpectedly, and surprisingly, he was unable to pick up a small hammer

One cannot always rely on those exceedingly rare auspicious clouds, can one

However, it is strange that despite the abundant vitality of the waterfall's pool, Sun Ang still failed to capture the vitality bubbles shaped like auspicious clouds

Sun Ang looked around and finally settled on a task: forging weapons at the Ao Feng Hall for ten days

Pah! Isn't it just a blacksmithing task? They make it seem as important as selecting a prince consort. What's so impressive about it? I won't take it on anyway!

It may seem simple to speak of, but in reality, it requires a great deal of skill. It is by no means as straightforward as that disciple suggested; a moment's inattention can lead to cracks, and it is also very easy for impurities to mix in, which is what that disciple referred to as the inclusion of ash.

Not only has the Xuanhuang Qi Guiding Technique become more refined, but the Fire Bull Cannon Fist and the Blue Fish Transformation have also become increasingly proficient

Sun Ang looked over one by one, and the top three rows were all the most popular and sought-after tasks, without exception, all of which were outdoor hunting of ferocious beasts and material gathering tasks

In fact, in this situation, if someone is willing to team up with Sun Ang to complete this task, he would rather not join. God knows whether they are doing it to fulfill the family mission or if they are attracted by Sun Yun's bounty

In the ancestral land, there is a pavilion called the Misty Waves Pavilion specifically for issuing tasks. Sun Ang had never been to the Misty Waves Pavilion before, and as soon as he entered, he discovered that it was quite lively here.

Thus, Sun Ang successfully passed the thorough examination and was finally led into the Ao Feng Hall along with four other disciples

Sun Ang understood that this was not actually a bottleneck, as he had only been in the realm of the Six Veins for about ten days, while many others had been stuck at this level for several months

The hammer is only the size of a fist, and Sun Ying smirks as he rushes forward to grab it: "Are you worried that we can't lift such a trivial weight?"

This counter resembles a pawn shop, where an old man dressed in a thick cotton coat sits listlessly inside. He casually points to a sign hanging outside that reads: "Take a look for yourself, just let me know which one you want."

Another disciple, Sun Ying, interjected: "Hehe, why is it that after spending half a year in the ancestral land, I only advanced one realm, yet suddenly within twenty days, I have jumped three realms? Is this how geniuses are?"

The proud disciple of Aofeng, who was leading the way, glanced back at them but did not stop the four from surrounding Sun Ang; not only were these individuals suspicious, but the disciple himself also harbored some doubts.

Hehe, what is there to hide about such matters? hetushu.com, does he think everyone is a fool? Taking elixirs to forcibly elevate one's realm in order to pose as a genius and attract the family's attention, such bragging will eventually be exposed.

Although Sun Ang once defeated Sun Hai, who possessed the power of the Five Veins, it should be noted that Sun Hai relied on his allegiance to Sun Ji and obtained a considerable amount of spiritual elixirs to forcefully enhance his abilities

Name? Level? Proficient Techniques? A disciple of the Proud Wind Hall sits at the entrance, rigorously scrutinizing each individual who comes to accept a task

Sun Ang, on the other hand, wore an expression of calm indifference as he surveyed the house. On the side near the external iron smelting furnace, there was a fire window about half a person high, which introduced a stream of fire from outside to be used for melting pig iron

Then, he left the five people behind and departed

The principle of folding and forging is quite simple; it involves heating a piece of raw iron until it becomes red and malleable, then folding and hammering it into a single piece.

Although it is the power of the Five Veins, what you are practicing is the Falling Blossom Finger, which emphasizes lightness and variability, lacking in strength and therefore is inadequate

With only five or six days left until the year-end examination, he dared not waste any time and hurried back to the pond to continue his training

However, he has no time left

On this day, after once again practicing the Xuanhuang Qi Induction Technique for three hours, Sun Ang opened his eyes, yet he still could not achieve a breakthrough

After being repeated eight times, the toughness and strength of this piece of iron will be greatly enhanced

He looked astonished, took a deep breath, mobilized his vital energy throughout his body, and reached for the hammer again. It felt heavy in his hand, and as he slowly lifted it, he was even more surprised: "This hammer weighs at least 9,000 pounds"

Alright, this is the place. The disciple led them to the entrance of a courtyard, where the heat waves could be felt from several dozen meters away

The five individuals exchanged glances, and the four disciples appeared eager to try their hand.
