<h4>Chapter 188: Chapter188</h4>


    Zhou Peng''s arrogant expression made Zhou Wei very ufortable. Naturally, he couldn''t stand it. His face was ugly and his heart was filled with anger. However, in front of so many disciples, he didn''t dare to act recklessly. After all, this was the zing Sun Pce. Having a private fight would be severely punished. As the senior brother, he was in charge of all affairs big and small in the zing Sun Pce. Although he didn''t dare to openly do anything to Zhou Peng, there were many underhanded methods. Seeing Zhou Peng enter the artifact forging room, he also followed. Inside the artifact forging room, thick smoke billowed and the sounds of various metal collisions were intertwined, resounding in the ears. This was the most elementary artifact forging room in the zing Sun Pce, and the artifact forging facilities were extremely simple. As long as one''s artifact forging skill breaks through the elementary stage and forges a low-grade spiritual artifact, one can leave here and go to a better artifact forging room to practice. Zhou Peng didn''t have much contact with artifact forging. As soon as he stepped into the artifact forging room, he was choked by the rushing thick smoke and almost shed tears. He coughed rapidly, causing a wave of mocking sneers from the surrounding disciples. "Damn you." Zhou Peng secretly despised them coldly in his heart. Then a disciple came up, took a look at Zhou Peng, and handed over a pen and paper, saying, "Register." "This also needs to be registered?" "Haha..." Everyoneughed and mocked again. Zhou Peng gave a cold re and was toozy to look at them. Then he took the pen and paper and wrote down his own name. Then he realized something was wrong. The disciples who had just entered didn''t register. Why did he have to register? Before he could ask, that disciple put away the pen and paper and looked at Zhou Peng and said, "Today you are responsible for cleaning here. You can''t leave a single speck of dust." After saying that, she immediately smiled at Senior Brother Zhou Wei not far from the door. Zhou Wei also nodded and smiled, indicating that she had done a good job. The artifact forging room was at least a thousand square meters in area. Making him clean alone and not leaving any dust was clearly deliberately making things difficult for him. "I endure it." "This is the furnace and materials for your artifact forging today. From now on, it''s yours. You can only use it to forge magic weapons." That disciple put away the pen and paper and took out a jet-ck furnace from a ck box. The furnace was about half a meter high. Inside was actually dust. It was estimated that it had been at the bottom of the box for at least eight or ten years. Looking at the materials for artifact forging, there were two pieces of pig iron. And it was the kind of inferior pig iron with iron g. There was no iron essence at all. This kind of pig iron had no forgeability at all. Even Shen Yan, a grandmaster of artifact forging, couldn''t forge it. Zhou Peng looked at that female disciple and just kept looking without saying a word. "What are you looking at? You artifact forging trash. Do you still want good materials? Giving it to you is also a waste." The female disciple took a look at Zhou Wei''s expression and said very rudely. Zhou Peng sneered. He took the two things. Just as he was about to walk inside, Zhou Wei walked in and said with a faint smile, "Liu Yue. Take good care of the new junior brother. Don''t always say ''trash, trash''. It''s so. Even if he is really trash, he is also a person of the zing Sun Pce. Although the zing Sun Pce doesn''t ept trash, since the master has epted him, even if he is trash, he is also our junior brother. We should love our junior brothers." Zhou Wei walked forward with a forced smile. He took a look at Zhou Peng and said, "Junior Brother, don''t mind what Liu Yue said about you being trash. She is straightforward and tells the truth. She doesn''t know how to be tactful." "Senior Brother is right. Senior Sister Liu Yue is indeed straightforward. But I think she is even more good at observing people''s expressions. With just one look from the dog owner, theckey can immediately understand what it means. Junior Brother really admires you to the extreme." Zhou Peng also smiled politely and said faintly. Immediately, Liu Yue''s expression changed. She clenched her fists and secretly became angry. Zhou Wei''s expression also changed. He red at Zhou Peng and his teeth were grinding loudly. "Damn you. Mocking me. Wait and see." Zhou Peng secretly cursed in his heart. Then he picked up the furnace and walked to an empty ce in the artifact forging room. Although Zhou Peng didn''t practice the artifact forging skillst night, he had initially understood the operation technique. After putting down the furnace, Zhou Peng went to the corner and picked up several substances simr to coal lumps. They were jet-ck. Seeing that the surrounding disciples all chose it as fuel for artifact forging, he secretly estimated that this was the "me tungsten" written in the book. It was a substance rich in high energy and could release tens of thousands of degrees of heat. Put two pieces of me tungsten into the furnace. Then light the me core in the furnace. Then use true qi to boost the me and let the me tungsten burn. When the height reaches a certain level, ce the materials on the secondyer of the furnace. A few minutes passed. The me tungsten burned. Steaming heat was constantly emitted, directly making Zhou Peng sweat all over and his clothes soaked. He secretly thought, "It should be almost enough." Put two pieces of pig iron in. The entire furnace emitted a bright red me. This me was exactly the same as the me that Zhou Peng had urged with true qi in Shen Yan''s furnace yesterday. "Red me." "Haha..." "Sure enough, he is trash..." As soon as Zhou Peng started, the surrounding disciples stopped and paid attention to Zhou Peng. When Zhou Peng urged with true qi just now and a ball of bright red me suddenly erupted from the furnace, they couldn''t help butugh. "Junior Brother, I think you''d better not force it." Zhou Wei sneered coldly and then said loudly, "Everyone tell the new junior brother. What does red me represent?" "Trash." Many people shouted in unison. Their expressions were full of contempt. Some people secretly sympathized with Zhou Peng. In this zing Sun Pce, most people were Zhou Wei''s people. Offending him would definitely make life difficult. The disciples guarding the mountain gate were examples. In their hearts, it wouldn''t be long before Zhou Peng would be sent to guard the mountain gate by Zhou Wei for various reasons or simply be driven out of the zing Sun Pce directly. Zhou Peng was toozy to look at them. Seeing the pig iron melt, he immediately took out a crystal core and put it into the furnace. His true qi suddenly increased and his will was continuously tempered along with the true qi. The bright red me on the furnace continuously erupted. When everyone saw this, they all put away their mocking and disdainful looks and paid attention to the furnace under Zhou Peng. Many people muttered, "Can elementary artifact forging technique refine crystal cores?" "Is he crazy? He actually put the crystal core in. Can he refine the crystal core?" "Trash is trash. He doesn''t even understand the most basic artifact forging foundation. With just his elementary artifact forging technique, can he refine crystal cores? It''s simply a pipe dream." Magic treasures are tools. Tools must have tool souls. Even the lowest-level weapons have souls. However, the souls are so weak that they can bepletely ignored. Crystal cores contain the energy refined by monsters over thousands of years and have powerful forces. They are also the best choice for soul fit. However, refining crystal cores is by no means a simple matter. Even Zhou Wei, who has reached the master level of artifact forging, doesn''t have the ability to refine crystal cores one hundred percent. The power of a sessfully forged magic treasure depends on the soul. The higher the fit, the morepletely the power in the crystal core is fused. The greater the power exerted. The more powerful the magic treasure forged, the higher the requirements for crystal cores. Immortal-level magic tools mustpletely refine ninth-level crystal cores and inject all their energy into the magic tools. Ninth-level monsters are very rare. One can imagine immortal-level magic tools. Zhou Peng didn''t care about the expressions of the people around him at all. His brows were secretly wrinkled. True qi gushed out even more violently. The furnace suddenly becamepletely red. Faint lines faintly appeared on the furnace. The lines emerged as if a fire dragon was coiled on it. Everyone''s eyes were startled. This furnace had been at the bottom of the box for who knows how many years. No one was willing to use it. If it weren''t for Zhou Peng''s appearance and Liu Yue''s deliberate, it would still be buried in dust all the time. Zhou Wei''s eyes shed with a trace of greed. Others might not know, but he was very clear in his heart that this was the Dragon Cauldron, a holy artifact forging furnace. Being able to use it to forge magic tools was the dream of all artifact forgers. It waspletely unimaginable that it was actually in the elementary artifact forging room and had been buried for who knows how many years. Zhou Peng didn''t know that the furnace was a holy artifact for forging. But as soon as the fire dragon coiled on it emerged faintly, he knew that this furnace was definitely extraordinary. The furnace that could resonate with his true qi in his body was as if the furnace was a part of his body. And the Dragon Cauldron seemed to wake up from ancient times. As if summoned by the power of the dragon and elephant in Zhou Peng''s body, the dragon patterns on the cauldron faintly moved. A deep dragon''s roar suddenly sounded, immediately shocking the hearts and minds of everyone present. "Hu..." Zhou Peng heaved a heavy sigh and secretly thought, "Only half of the crystal core has been refined. What''s the situation with the other half that can''t be refined? Is it because of the level rtionship?" In his mind, the thumb-sized fifth-level crystal core had shrunk by half. But no matter how much Zhou Peng increased his true qi, he just couldn''t refine it. He was puzzled. "Boom!" A loud thunderous sound erupted from inside the furnace. Zhou Peng was stunned. He put away his qi skills. Everyone gathered around. The me tungsten inside the furnace was burned to ashes. The fire dragon on the furnace also disappeared and returned to its original jet-ck appearance. "Haha..." "Haha..." Several people went forward and took a look into the furnace. Immediately, they burst into heartyughter. Many people went forward to take a look again. They alsoughed. Even more exaggeratedly, whileughing, they also looked at Zhou Peng. That expression was as if saying, "You, it''s so funny." Zhou Peng was also stunned. Looking down, his heart immediately sank. His eyes were dull. He secretly thought, "Damn, how did I forge something like a lump of shit?" The two pieces of pig iron in the furnace fused. Combined with the energy in the crystal core, it turned yellowish-brown and coiled with a few lines. Just like shit. "I''m so awesome. I actually forged shit." Although he was a bit depressed, he still couldn''t help being narcissistic. At the same time, he took a look at the artifact forging technique in the system. The proficiency increased by one. This showed that this lump of "shit" had been sessfully forged. "Senior Brother, as my first time forging, I think I should give it to you as a souvenir." Zhou Peng took out that yellowish lump from the furnace and respectfully handed it over. "Zhou Peng, you..." Zhou Wei was angry. With a sweep, he knocked down the lump of "shit" in Zhou Peng''s hand. His eyes were fixed on the dull furnace. Just as he was about to walk over, Zhou Peng took a step first. He quickly put away the furnace and put it into the space ring. With a faint smile, he said, "Senior Brother, this is my artifact forging furnace." Zhou Wei''s face was gloomy. He gave a cold nce and immediately said angrily, "Junior Brother Zhou Peng, forging such an ugly thing is simply an insult to artifact forgers and an insult to the zing Sun Pce. As the senior brother, I really can''t stand it. Now I order you to hand over the furnace. You are not allowed to practice artifact forging anymore. So as not to lose face for the zing Sun Pce." Everyone was in an uproar. Zhou Peng gave a cold sneer...!
