"According to Old Huo's standards, it's at most a first-grade spiritual weapon!" As he spoke, he carefully took out an earth-yellow warhammer from his storage ring.
The moment the warhammer appeared, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier.
"Look," Yan Hao handed the warhammer to Liu Qing, his tone full of admiration, "this is the one Old Huo helped me forge, a fourth-grade spiritual weapon!"
"He's already made the basic knowledge, blueprints, and standards for crafting magical artifacts publicly available on the first floor of the library. Anyone interested can learn from them! Our Artifact Crafting Alliance aims to bring together everyone interested in artifact crafting!"
Liu Qing took the magical warhammer. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, and a pure and powerful earth-attribute energy emanated from the handle.
He felt the power contained within the warhammer, and then looked at the undisguised burning light in Yan Hao's eyes. A barely perceptible ripple finally crossed his usually expressionless face.
"Come on, Liu Qing, let me show you our Weapon Alliance's temporary base!" After taking the warhammer back from Liu Qing, Yan Hao patted Liu Qing's shoulder with great interest and pointed to a temporary building in the distance, where the sound of hammering could be faintly heard.
Liu Qing's gaze fell back to the still-burning forge beside Yan Hao, somewhat puzzled: "Weren't you refining something?"
"Hey! This?" Yan Hao grinned, a sly glint in his otherwise honest face. "It's just a simple GG! Leaving it here is eye-catching, to attract talented students like you!"
With that, he extinguished the furnace fire, picked up the entire forging furnace with one hand, and with the other hand holding Liu Qing, headed towards the territory of the Weapon Alliance.
Upon entering the room, Liu Qing's expressionless face showed even greater surprise.
In a spacious hall, nearly a hundred forging furnaces of varying sizes were densely packed together! The furnace fires illuminated half the sky, and waves of heat swept over you.
What surprised him even more was the people gathered here! Not to mention top students from the outer academy like Lin Xiuyai and Han Yue, there were even some inner academy students he recognized!
Some stood, some sat, each tending a small furnace, their expressions focused. Some were hammering metal blanks, others were carefully inscribing runes, and still others were attempting to channel their battle qi into unfinished magical artifacts. The air was thick with the mingled smell of burning metal and sweat, creating a sense of exhilarating excitement.
"Everyone—are you all interested in this?" Liu Qing looked at the group of students who were even more focused than when they were cultivating, and his voice was somewhat surprised.
Most cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent are not interested in weapons. For them, the quality of a weapon is sufficient to allow them to use their fighting techniques.
In Liu Qing's own view, the spiritual artifacts that had recently caused such a stir were merely useless external objects. Cultivators should still focus on themselves. This view persisted until the inner court assessment.
When he faced Han Yue, who was wielding a magical longsword, his proud spear skills were completely overwhelmed by her brute force, and he fell off the stage before he could even make five moves.
"It's not just out of interest!" Yan Hao's voice was full of admiration: "Old Huo left behind a very detailed record of the basics of weapon crafting in the library. It's so comprehensive that almost anyone, as long as they're not stupid, can get started."

"And what's more!" he lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, "Old Huo even allows everyone to take what they've learned back to the family! Who could resist that?"
"Bring him back to the family?!" Liu Qing was completely moved, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief clearly appeared on his usually expressionless face.
All factions keep their knowledge of cultivation and combat secret, fearing others will learn it. Huo Yuhao's actions, however, clearly indicate his intention to spread this weapon-forging method throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent!
What's in it for him? Liu Qing's face showed an expression of incomprehension.
While Yan Hao was showing Liu Qing around the Equipment Alliance's headquarters, Han Yue was holding a metal plate engraved with intricate patterns and discussing something in a low voice with Lin Xiuya.
Her brows furrowed slightly. Seeing Yan Hao and Liu Qing approach, she nodded slightly in greeting.
"Hey, Liu Qing? You're here too!" Beside her, Lin Xiuya's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Qing, and he put down his tools. He greeted him with a smile, "You've come at the right time! Come on, let me take you to pick out a suitable spiritual weapon! Our Weapon Alliance warehouse has quite a few in stock!"
Remembering Yan Hao's previous promise of "free for the first ten," and looking at the far exceeding number of people in front of him, Liu Qing asked in confusion, "Wasn't it only for the first ten?"
"Haha!" Yan Hao scratched his head and laughed, "That's still a no-go! It's just to attract attention! Actually, the stuff everyone made while practicing is so plentiful it's almost bursting the warehouse!"
"After all, the academy hasn't officially announced when to report to the inner academy. Since we're all just killing time anyway, why not come here and have some fun! We can also discuss any questions we have with each other."
Han Yue put down the metal plate in her hand, her cool gaze turning to Yan Hao and Lin Xiuya: "I'm going to find Huo Yuhao. I've tried many methods regarding the energy conflict during the superposition of spirit patterns, but it's still not very stable. Do you want to come with me?"
Liu Qing, eager to meet the mysterious Elder Huo, immediately chimed in, "I'd also like to pay him a visit. How about I come along?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Hao winked mischievously, his gaze sweeping between Liu Qing and Han Yue: "Hehe, Liu Qing, are you really here to find Old Huo?"
He was clearly still thinking about the rumor that Lu Mu had "let the water go".
Liu Qing's usually expressionless face momentarily faltered, a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment flashing across his face. He quickly straightened his expression and changed the subject: "Do you know where Elder Huo is right now?"
Lin Xiuya shrugged and pointed to the vast forest in the direction of the inner courtyard: "I don't know. But if you just walk around in that direction now, you're very likely to bump into one of him. He's—well, pretty busy right now."
Deep in the dense forest.
A colossal bear-like magical beast, its size comparable to a small hill and its entire body covered in thick rock armor, lay docilely on the ground. On its enormous head stood a gentle-faced youth—a divine consciousness clone of Huo Yuhao.
"Roar—Awooo—cough cough! Big brother! I—I can speak?!" The giant bear monster habitually let out a low roar, but its voice changed in the middle and finally it clearly uttered human words! Its huge bear eyes were filled with human-like surprise.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, his voice calm: "Yes, I used my divine sense to help you awaken and enhance your spiritual intelligence, which will make your cultivation much smoother in the future."
"Thank you, brother! From now on, my people and I will obey your commands!" the giant bear beast replied in a deep voice, its tone filled with gratitude and awe.
Since returning to the academy, Huo Yuhao has been working on his plan to make the continent's premier academy and to renovate the inner courtyard. He has created a massive number of divine sense clones, casting them like a net deep into the vast mountains between the inner and outer courtyards.
Their mission is singular: to recruit all magical beasts of rank four and above!
