Chapter 79: Teaching

"Master, it's not that I'm anxious, but this matter is of great importance. As long as these rune tools can really be refined continuously, the entire Shanjin Town will be in our hands in the future. At that time, with the financial resources of Shanjin Town, our business plans can be expanded throughout Mingyue, and perhaps even..."

Han Zhen spoke eloquently and excitedly about such matters. Spittle flew everywhere, making Zhu Ge Qing Ming shake his head helplessly.

"Han Zhen, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your courage and ambition have grown quite a bit!"

Just at this moment, Lu Fan walked in with a smile, making the two in the room open their mouths wide, seemingly unable to wait. Of course, Zhu Ge Qing Ming looked relieved, while Han Zhen excitedly told Lu Fan about his future business plans.

Ye Fei listened patiently for more than half an hour, praised him a few times, offered some suggestions, and then changed the subject, throwing out a crumpled note, seemingly having prepared for a long time.

"Han Zhen, there are some spirit ores on this; help me collect them, as fast as possible!"

Han Zhen took the note, glanced at it briefly, and immediately nodded, looking confident: "These spirit ores are in the warehouse; I'll go get them now!"

As soon as his voice fell, he rushed out, very urgent, seemingly even more anxious than Lu Fan.

"Young Master Lu, Young Master Zhen is very attentive to your affairs. A few days ago, I heard that the Sacred Martial Hall had caused a scene at Tianyuan Academy, and he couldn't wait to find you. If it weren't for the news from Zu Qing Tan of the Rune Master Guild saying you were safe, Young Master Zhen probably wouldn't even have cared about the affairs in Shanjin Town!"

Zhu Ge Qing Ming looked at Han Zhen's disappearing back and laughed.

Lu Fan's heart tightened upon hearing this. When he appeared just now, Han Zhen hadn't mentioned these things, not even revealing a hint. Now that he had made a request, he immediately rushed to handle it, which was indeed as Zhu Ge Qing Ming had said.

He nodded and said: "Han Zhen has nothing to say to me; if it weren't for his help over the years, I, Lu Fan, probably wouldn't be where I am today!"

His gaze was distant, his thoughts swirling in his mind.

Three years ago, when he entered Tianyuan Academy, the first time he fought and was injured, falling into a coma, it was Han Zhen who carried him back. Later, the Lu Family ignored him, and his academy tuition was also paid by Han Zhen, who even lied and said it was sent by the Lu Family...

Recalling such things now, it felt as if he had experienced them himself, and his heart felt warm. It was a blessing in life for him, Lu Fan, to have such a brother in this lifetime.

"Master Zhu Ge, you must have had some experience getting along with Han Zhen these days!"

Lu Fan steadied his mind, looked at Zhu Ge Qing Ming meaningfully, and said so.

Zhu Ge Qing Ming's gaze tightened, then he nodded and laughed: "Although Young Master Zhen is not old, he is generous and has great talent in business. I, Zhu Ge Qing Ming, have seen many big shots, and although I am down and out now, I vaguely see some shadows of them in Young Master Zhen!"

What kind of person was Zhu Ge Qing Ming? Someone who had once stepped into the peak of the Qi Refining Realm Rune Venerable and touched the threshold of a Great Sorcerer. He could say this, which was a great affirmation of Han Zhen.

Lu Fan nodded slightly; he had let Zhu Ge Qing Ming come here, naturally with deep meaning. Last time he saw the other party was somewhat dismissive of business, and although he had pointed it out, he was still worried that the other party would be disdainful.

Now that he saw Zhu Ge Qing Ming evaluate Han Zhen this way, he didn't need to worry.

Just then, Han Zhen walked in, sweating profusely, carrying several Universe Bags. Panting, he walked to Lu Fan, out of breath, unable to say a word, and handed them directly to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan took the Universe Bags, opened them casually, and saw they were full of spirit ore raw stones. In the few Universe Bags, there were more than a dozen kinds of ores, even more than he had requested.

"Lu... Young Master, how is it? Is it enough?"

Han Zhu caught his breath and asked hurriedly.

"Enough! Of course it's enough!" Lu Fan nodded heavily, picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Han Zhen, and asked curiously:

"Doesn't the mine only have cyan gold stone? The few mines you newly acquired seem to only have a few of the most common ores; how come there are so many varieties in the warehouse?"

Han Zhen gulped down a cup and said somewhat proudly: "The group led by Fang Hong and Fu Long got Young Master Fei's rune refining ore carts, and the output of their mines has increased several times. They have suppressed small and medium-sized mines, and the prices have dropped sharply. It is precisely because of this that I was able to acquire these spirit ores, and even bought shares in several more precious mines..."

Speaking of these, Han Zhen was high-spirited and talked endlessly. Lu Fan also realized that this was about the same as he had expected, but he hadn't expected Han Zhen's actions to be so fast, much earlier than he had anticipated.

"Hmm! No wonder you were so nervous about the rune refining ore carts just now. Call Qian Shirong and that brat Ge Hui over; I want to see the progress, and I happen to need their help too!"

As soon as Ye Fei's voice fell, Han Zhu ran out excitedly again. Before long, he led Qian Shirong and the other two in.

"Greetings, Master Lu!"

The two bowed together, their faces full of respect and piety, their eyes filled with excitement.

Lu Fan waved his hand and said faintly: "No need for formalities! I heard you two have been refining rune refining ore carts these days; let me see, and I'll give you two some pointers!"

As soon as his voice fell, Qian Shirong and Ge Hui's faces were excited. They couldn't wait to reach for their waists and pulled off their Universe Bags very rudely. They didn't care about anything else and poured them out directly.

Various ores and talismans were scattered on the ground, and there were three half-refined rune refining ore carts, whose faint artifact rhyme and luster seemed to have reached the final moment.

Lu Fan grabbed a semi-finished product with one hand, glanced at it briefly, then shook his head and said: "This won't do! Although this rune refining ore cart is only a First-Tier Spirit Tool, it belongs to the category of composite spirit tools, involving the refining methods of several general-purpose spirit tools, and must be done in one go."

As soon as his voice fell, he threw the semi-finished product in front of him with one hand, then swiped, and his Spiritual Power rolled out. The ores and talismans on the ground seemed to have life, flying over and condensing on the artifact, as if invisible hands were assembling it.

Qian Shirong and the other were stunned, looking at it in disbelief. The scene before them was less like refining an artifact and more like a wonderful performance.

In the blink of an eye, the rune refining ore cart was refined. Its artifact rhyme was natural, its luster shining, dazzling the eyes. Not only Qian Shirong and the other, but even Han Zhen and Zhu Ge Qing Ming were excited and agitated.

"Young Master Lu, how was this done? We two pondered for seven or eight days, only to make these semi-finished products; how come it's so easy and relaxed in your hands?"

Qian Shirong couldn't suppress his excitement and asked in shock.

Lu Fan smiled faintly and said: "There is nothing wrong with your techniques, but there is a deviation in the melting skills. Refining this kind of composite rune tool must be done in one go, and the requirements for melting spirit ores and engraving seal techniques are relatively high. Here, I will teach you two a fire control technique; with your talent, I think you won't have any problems refining this kind of rune tool in the future!"

As soon as his voice fell, he pointed to his forehead with one hand, and his Spiritual Power condensed into a light of wisdom, which took shape. Then he pointed into the air, split it into two, and drilled into the minds of Qian Shirong and Ge Rui.

The two felt a roar in their minds, their consciousness turned into a sea of fire, and the sky was burning, dragging their consciousness into it. Then this flame drilled out of their minds and raged around their bodies.

Meridians were torn and connected out of thin air, connecting into one, as if turning into an array, storing the flame within it.

After a cup of tea, the two woke up, their excitement uncontrollable. With a flick of their hands, two flames drilled out and drilled toward the two semi-finished rune tools.

At the same time, the two of them pinched the seal and performed the technique, waving one seal after another, melting one ore after another...

An hour later, two more rune refining ore carts were refined. Although they were not as good as the ones refined by Lu Fan in terms of aura, they were also condensed with artifact rhyme and were quite extraordinary.

"Success, we two finally succeeded!"

Qian Shirong and Ge Rui were already exhausted and sweating profusely, but their spirits were high, and there was even a trace of pride in their words. Although they had successfully refined several before, they had consumed a huge amount and had worked together. This time, they had refined them individually, which was indeed a significant improvement.

"Tsk tsk!"

Han Zhen was also pleasantly surprised and even sighed with admiration. With the methods Qian Shirong and Ge Rui had used this time, there would likely be no problem supplying Shanjin Town with rune refining ore carts in the future.

"It's just a First-Tier Spirit Tool; as First-Tier Rune Masters, it's normal for you two to refine it!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, and his words of advice reached Qian Shirong and the other. The two immediately felt their hearts shake, collected their thoughts, bowed again, and said in unison:

"Thank you, Young Master Lu, for teaching us the fire control method; we two are deeply grateful!"

Lu Fan's Spiritual Power had just turned into a light of wisdom and poured into their minds, allowing them to experience that miraculous fire control method and refine the rune refining ore cart.

"This technique is nothing; I will make it public at the Preaching Assembly in a few days, and any Rune Master in the Mingyue Empire can learn it; I'm just teaching you two in advance!"

Lu Fan waved his hand, looking very casual, and then changed the subject: "I have something for you two to help with; I was originally worried that your strength was insufficient, but now that you two have learned this fire control method, I think it should be enough!"

Qian Shirong and Ge Hui were overjoyed upon hearing this, their hearts agitated, and they nodded repeatedly. Lu Fan said he was asking them for help, but for them, it was an excellent opportunity to listen to the teachings of the Rune Dao; how could they miss it?

Lu Fan didn't say much, waved his large hand, took out the few Universe Bags Han Zhen had handed over earlier, threw them to the two, and ordered:

"There are some spirit ores and origin stones here; you two follow these requirements and melt them with the fire control method just now."

As soon as his voice fell, he waved his large sleeve, and a light screen emerged, with a piece of text manifesting on it. ===== CHAPTER 80 =====
