A lot of people liked to explore extinct volcanoes to see if they could find something interesting, but when it came to active volcanoes, especially those that were about to erupt, they were unable to express their grat.i.tude. However, there were people who knew that there were tigers on the mountain. This person was Liu Wei An.

At the bottom of the volcano, hundreds of meters deep, Liu Wei An guarded a crimson furnace. Not far away, boiling magma dyed the ground red.

The furnace had three legs, two ears, and a round mouth. It was entirely red in color. Its shape was simple and unadorned and its atmosphere was heavy. Due to the flame"s burning, black smoke rose from the small holes on its roof.

This furnace had a great origin, it was called the Crimson Furnace. It was the first iron-level furnace that appeared in the Yellow Sand City, and the so-called furnace was used for refining weapons. It was different from the furnace used for alchemy. It caused a sensation in the auction. There were two immortal professions in the « World of Warcraft ». One was alchemy and the other was refining. And it was related to crafting and refining. It naturally had quite a high status.

For this furnace, the various factions fought extremely fiercely. Some of them didn"t have any blacksmiths under their command, but for the sake of the future, and most of them didn"t want others to get their hands on it. If others got it, that meant their strength would increase.

If it wasn"t for the fact that almost half of the wealth of the entire Yellow Sand City had been swept away, Liu Wei An definitely wouldn"t have been able to take this red furnace. Even so, he had struggled to carve a path for himself in the middle of the crowd and had to pay 21 million copper coins to take it down, becoming a dark horse of the auction.

With the red furnace in his hand, Liu Wei An realized that he had only just taken the first step in the long journey of forging artifacts. The most difficult mountain to cross was fire, and ordinary flames were actually unable to melt blue ice iron. Blue Ice Iron was cold. When it came into contact with a flame, it would emit a cold air, greatly lowering the temperature of the flame.

Liu Wei An was helpless and went to look for other old blacksmiths. The results were all the same, but in the end, he still managed to unearth a useful clue: this active volcano.

"If there is a way to withstand the high temperature of a volcano, then we can solve the problem of flames." That"s what the old blacksmith said. Even a Gold rank expert couldn"t stand the temperature inside the volcano, not to mention Liu Wei An, who was at the peak of Bronze rank and not even Silver rank. It was obvious that the old blacksmith wanted to make Liu Wei An retreat after learning of the difficulties.

After three hours of burning, the red furnace had completely turned red, and the temperature inside the furnace had reached an unimaginable degree. There was no thermometer in this world, and it was impossible to measure how much, but Liu Wei An estimated that there should be several thousand degrees.

Liu Wei An caught the blue liquid with a container that he had prepared beforehand. The blue liquid was emitting white gas, if someone didn"t know, they would definitely think it was cold air. Only Liu Wei An, who was very close to the liquid, could feel the terrifying high temperature contained within the blue liquid.

Apart from a portion of the impurities being evaporated, the main impurities would be sent out from another hole, which was the benefit of the furnace. Apart from a portion of the impurities being evaporated, the main impurities would be sent out from another hole, which was the benefit of the furnace.

After about five minutes, the blue liquid inside the container began to solidify. It was like a piece of blue crystal, sparkling and translucent, emitting a dreamlike color, especially under the reflection of the dark red environment of the subterranean volcano.

Other than changing the containers, Liu Wei An actually found himself with nothing to do. The main steps were all completed by the red furnace, to others, he was just like soy sauce to them. Liu Wei An didn"t have the habit of wasting time. He took out a shield to draw a rune. Originally, he had the att.i.tude of trying it out, but unexpectedly, he succeeded and even obtained unexpected benefits.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of the high temperature, Liu Wei An"s rune drawing was much easier than usual. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the high temperature, Liu Wei An"s rune drawing was much easier than normal.

The days pa.s.sed day by day. Liu Wei"an spent the night refining, making shields, sleeping in the morning, and attending lessons in the afternoon. His days pa.s.sed by, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks had pa.s.sed, and after the last drop of blue liquid flowed out, he had already extracted 80% of the Blue Ice Iron. The rest of them were made of Steel grade equipment, which was much more difficult to make than White grade equipment. However, the Volcano"s environment had reduced the difficulty to the lowest, which was why Liu Wei An was able to create so many shields. If it was any other environment, he would probably be able to make about half of them.

In two weeks" time, Liu Wei An had also finished learning all the courses for the third year. With such speed, even Gu Yang Yue, who was used to seeing geniuses, was amazed. If he hadn"t seen it with his own eyes, he definitely wouldn"t have believed that someone could use two weeks" time to finish three years" worth of lessons.

Gu Youyue knew that calligraphy was not something that could be done in a day and a night, so she just mentioned it. After tidying up her textbooks, she found that they were separated. Inexplicably, a wave of reluctance rose in her heart.

"I thank teacher for your hard work in teaching me. It is just a small gift, if you don"t respect it, you must not reject it." Liu Wei An took out a box.

"What?" Gu Youyue didn"t even realize that her first reaction was to ask something, not to refuse.

She opened the box and quietly laid down on her cell phone. As she looked at her phone, she suddenly blushed because she remembered that this phone was exactly the same as Liu Wei An"s. A couple"s phone? The words that suddenly popped up in her mind made her heart beat uneasily. She hesitated for a few seconds before making up her mind. She said softly, "If you pa.s.s the exam, I"ll accept it. If you don"t, I won"t have the face to accept it."

After leaving Gu Yang"s home, Liu Wei An called Wu Lili and told her that he was going to apply for the school. Wu Lili left the cla.s.sroom without a word and arrived in less than half an hour in the car.

Rather than saying that it was a university, it would be more accurate to call it a university city. Students came and went, driving who knows how many industries, such as food, clothing, department stores, scientific research, and real estate. It could be said that any university was a treasure trove.

The huge arched gate was a symbol of Xinfeng City. Wu Lili"s car had clearly been memorized by the security guards and was placed inside without question.

Next, they had to wait for the exam.
