Xu Nian quickly returned to his residence, and Zhang ng naturally followed after him.
However, soon Zhang ng realized what he had just missed and regretted it so much that he almost slapped his own buttocks swollen.
That was a personal invitation from the goddess Zhang Tian, and he had actually ignored it.
Just now, all he could think about was how incredibly formidable Xu Nian was and how to express his gratitude to Xu Nian, completely overlooking Zhang Tian's invitation.
However, just as Zhang ng was about to go back to look for Zhang Tian, Xu Nian advised him not to.
Zhang ng was very puzzled.
Xu Nian rely gave a mysterious smile and told him to just follow his instructions.
He wanted Zhang ng to do sothing very simple, which was to act a bit indifferent when Zhang Tian ca to look for him.
This left Zhang ng very bewildered. Why act indifferent?
Wouldn't that just drive the goddess away?
And Xu Nian said the goddess would take the initiative to look for him?
Was that possible?
Although he found it hard to believe, by now he had complete and utter faith in Xu Nian.
Being able to tell at a glance that the weapon refined by Jing Haoyang was a failure, cursing Elder Wang in front of everyone, and then manipulating the crowd with his clever tactics, such skill was simply terrifying.
The more Zhang ng thought about it, the more amazed he beca, and his admiration for Xu Nian grew even stronger in his heart.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, paid no more attention to Zhang ng and went straight into his room to start studying artifact refining.
Previously, Xu Nian had already inquired that to beco an Inner Sect Disciple, one must beco a Little Artifact Refiner.
That is to say, as long as you can refine a Xuan Iron Level weapon, you can be promoted to the Inner Sect.
Now, Xu Nian's artifact refining level had reached the peak of a Nine-star Refining Apprentice but to refine Xuan Iron Level weapons, he was still lacking sothing.
Xu Nian's thod of artifact refining was different from others; his refining technique mainly relied on the power of Spiritual Sense. As long as his Spiritual Sense Power kept growing, his artifact refining level would also continuously improve.
This was where the overpowering nature of the Ten Thousand Divine Hamr Technique lay.

"Buzz!"
With a single gesture of his hand, Xu Nian summoned a piece of Xuan Iron Ore into his palm.
Having killed three gang leaders of the Heavenly Slash Gang before, he had seized a large amount of the Xuan Iron Vein, so he was certainly not lacking in artifact refining materials.
Following that, with just a thought from Xu Nian, a fla appeared in his hand.
This fla was just an ordinary fla. Since he started learning artifact refining, Xu Nian had always used normal flas.
One of the secret techniques in the Ten Thousand Divine Hamr Technique was to absorb flas from the outside world, refine them into a "fire-seed," and use it for oneself.
But Xu Nian hadn't yet found any flas that he could refine, which left him sowhat helpless.
"By now, my Spiritual Sense is almost comparable to that of a One-star Little Artifact Refiner, right? I just don't know if this fla can lt the Xuan Iron. Well, let's just try it out. If it really doesn't work, I'll go look for a suitable fla," Xu Nian mused to himself.
Then he started to control the fla to lt the Xuan Iron Vein.
However, after one hour passed, then two, the Xuan Iron Vein showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Alas, this ordinary fla's grade is still not up to the task; the temperature it emits is not enough to lt the Xuan Iron," Xu Nian sighed inwardly.
Now, if he wanted to advance to be a Little Artifact Refiner, he still needed to find a fla capable of lting Xuan Iron and refine his own fire-seed.
Other Artifact Refiners' flas evolved continuously along with their secret techniques, but Xu Nian could only rely on external flas.
Of course, there are pros and cons to this approach. This way, Xu Nian could freely change the fla he needed, unlike other Artifact Refiners, who had to upgrade bit by bit.
"I have no idea where to find any strange flas," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
He thought it over and decided to ask Zhang ng.
"Strange flas? What do you want with strange flas? Don't all artifact refiners have their own Life-bound True Fire?" asked Zhang ng with a puzzled look at Xu Nian.
"You don't need to worry about that, just tell if there are any strange flas nearby," Xu Nian said directly.
He had already made up his mind that if he really couldn't find a suitable fla,
he would rob a little artifact refiner and take their Life-bound True Fire.
But such an act was truly despicable and no different from when he had stolen Chen Yao's things in the past.
"When you put it that way, I do rember a place with strange flas, but it's very dangerous. Below the Marquis Realm, no one can get close," said Zhang ng as if he had thought of sothing.
"Oh? Where is it?" Xu Nian's eyes imdiately lit up.
At least he wouldn't have to resort to robbery.
"Black Fla Lake. There's a peculiar lake behind our sect's mountain. The lake has an eerie fla burning on its surface that never extinguishes year-round. The terrifying temperature can instantly lt teorite Iron. Within a thousand ters, no one dares approach. Anyone who does will certainly be burnt to death," explained Zhang ng.
"If it can instantly lt teorite Iron, this is great stuff. This ans he could solve the problem with the elite disciples all at once," Xu Nian was overjoyed and after thanking Zhang ng, he headed straight for the back mountain.
Zhang ng looked on, puzzled, not understanding why Xu Nian was so happy about Black Fla Lake.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, turned into a residual shadow, rushing towards the back mountain with extre speed in the darkness of the night.
Now it was night, and the back mountain was seldom visited even during the day, let alone at this hour.
Thus, Xu Nian quickly arrived at the back mountain, and as soon as he entered, he felt a scorching heat.
This filled Xu Nian with delight; he had not yet seen Black Fla Lake, but the temperature of the surrounding area was so intense, indicating that the black flas of Black Fla Lake were extrely extraordinary.
Xu Nian then headed towards the source of the heat, and as he progressed, he felt his skin burning.
Not only that, a dense white fog began to perate the surroundings.
This fog was created by the high temperatures of Black Fla Lake evaporating the lake water.
Xu Nian's thoughts moved, and he harnessed the talent of the Ice Frost Giant Dragon. Xuan Ice covered the surface of his body.
This made Xu Nian feel instantly cool and refreshing.
At the sa ti, Xu Nian used his Gray Dragon Eye to penetrate the mist and continued towards Black Fla Lake.
However, before he had gone much further, Xu Nian's heart suddenly pounded faster.
He saw, not far ahead on a large rock, a young woman in her mid-twenties sitting cross-legged.
She was beautiful and alluring, with an impressive figure, and her three-thousand strands of black hair draped behind her, adding to her seductive allure.
Of course, what truly shocked Xu Nian was that the woman's clothes had burned away due to the intense heat, leaving not a thread behind.
The woman seed to have entered a state of cultivation, completely unaware of her surroundings.
Xu Nian was speechless.
Although the area was shrouded in thick fog, being stark naked was a bit much.
What if soone stumbled upon her? How embarrassing would that be?
Like right now!
Xu Nian shook his head, appreciated the view for a few seconds, then continued on his way by going around her.
He didn't want to wake the woman, which would be really awkward.
As for why he took a few seconds to appreciate the view.
Well, you know!
