Therefore, the 'ghost calculation' is mostly used to test the skills of disciples. When Tiandi City selects the weapon refiner Miao Zi, it is also tested on this thing, so Wu Zunyi spends money to borrow it.

Because Wu Zunyi was so stingy that even ten white jade bahts cost him one white jade baht, and he couldn't even get him to leave, so Zhou Qi left a bit of an impression at that time.

What happened next was terrifying.

The next day, the weapon-refining masters' competition began. There were experts from Tiandi City watching the screening in the dark, and Zhou Qi was also among the crowd.

Zhou Qi originally wanted to pick up the seedlings, but found that Wu Zunyi had arrived.

Wu Zunyi stood inconspicuously among the crowd, but it was difficult for Zhou Qi to notice other people - because he knew that Wu Zunyi had only seen the weapon refining map of "Ghost Skills" yesterday.

It took Zhou Qi one year from his first attempt to make a ghost calculation to the finished product that satisfied his teacher.

Zhou Qi didn't believe that anyone could master it completely in one day, so she paid special attention to Wu Zunyi nearby.

Wu Zunyi's technique is very stable. He infuses the carving knife with true energy and outlines the formations inside the material the size of a grain of rice. His movements are smooth and smooth without any delay. He has been practicing hard in private for many years.

In order to select the seedlings, the material provided by Tiandi City is the cold light stone, which is the easiest to break. It is no different from ice cubes, but Wu Zunyi can still control it.

But maybe due to bad luck, the naturally damaged cold light stone appeared in the materials received. There were cracks inside and the formation patterns could no longer be engraved.

It is normal for the materials of the weapon refining line to be damaged. In this case, you can report it to the nine deacons and buy a new set of materials out of your own pocket. As long as it is refined within the specified time, the most impression points will be deducted.

But Wu Zunyi didn’t choose that.

Zhou Qi later found out that Wu Zunyi wanted to treat his senior brother's injuries and he really had no money.

In the face of damaged materials, it is impossible to make a complete ghost calculation. If you can't afford new materials, you have to give up.

But what made Zhou Qi unbelievable was that Wu Zunyi did not give up, but temporarily changed the pattern of the weapon refining map, removed a part, and forcibly made a "ghost work calculation".

Although its efficacy has been reduced by 90%, it can barely turn around and can be called a 'magic weapon'.

Zhou Qi was astonished at that time.

In the art of weapon refining, copying the recipes of predecessors and creating one yourself are two different things. Especially for items that are notoriously complex, such as ghost work, if you dare to modify them for a day and still be useful, Zhou Qi still feels confident about it.

If you think you can't do it, it depends on your talent and understanding, which cannot be compensated by proficiency.

Unfortunately, Wu Zunyi temporarily changed the formation pattern and it timed out, so he was the last one to hand in the paper.

The deacons at Tiandi City didn't know that Wu Zunyi had only studied for one day and hadn't even practiced in advance. Their evaluation was just that "the technique is acceptable, and there is wisdom in changing the map, but it is of no great use" - they thought Wu Zunyi was deliberately making something different.

I did some tricks to attract attention, so I wasn't selected.

When Zhou Qi saw that Tiandi City had misjudged the situation, she stood up without hesitation and pulled Wu Zunyi away.

After that, Wu Zunyi came to Leigong Mountain.

Master Lei Hongliang’s evaluation of Wu Zunyi is just one sentence - He has extraordinary talents and wisdom, but he still forgets to sleep and eat and work hard to practice his art. It is unacceptable to be a great person.

This evaluation is very accurate. Wu Zunyi was born in a very poor family. After becoming a disciple, he received the resources to practice. He was so diligent that it was frightening. He never left the weapon refining workshop after entering the school. He slept and meditated in front of the stove. He was so diligent that Lei Lei, who was always strict,

Hongliang and others advised him to combine work and rest, and there was no need to practice so hard.

Wu Zunyi's answer was: "There is a road in front of you, and you can walk up by lifting your legs. How can it be considered ascetic practice? There are many people in my hometown who cannot see the dawn, the polar night of the east, west, north, and west, and have nothing to do.

There is a road to walk, but only there is penance."

After several years of contact with Wu Zunyi, Zhou Qi found a shortcoming in Wu Zunyi that was not considered a shortcoming - he liked to modify the method of refining weapons on his own initiative.

For a weapon refining master, having such courage and intelligence is a reward for the ancestors; but all the weapon refining maps are things that have been tested for a long time. What is sought is not power but absolute safety. Chaos will sooner or later cause trouble.

Son.

What happened in Linyuan Port was caused by Wu Zunyi not listening to his master's instructions and secretly changing the map.

More than 20 years have passed since the incident. Zhou Qi thought that the matter had been settled long ago, but she did not expect that anyone would ask about it...

…

Zhou Qi sat in the courtyard and thought about it for a long time. She felt that there was something fishy about the matter, so she got up and went to a cave in the back mountain.

The cave is Lei Hongliang’s training place.

The shirtless Lei Hongliang, with muscles all over his body and long gray hair draped on his back, sat quietly cross-legged near a ball of red and yellow flames.

The temperature inside the cave was extremely high, and Zhou Qi did not even dare to go deep into it. She just raised her hand at the entrance of the cave and said:

"Master, someone in the city mentioned something about Junior Brother Wu..."

Zhou Qi repeated what his apprentice reported.

Lei Hongliang seemed to be in trance. After a while, he opened his eyes and said:

"Go and investigate. If you are here for justice, report it to me."

Zhou Qi nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then asked:

"Master said that Junior Brother Wu is in seclusion for more than 20 years..."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. It's not good for you to know too much."

"Yes, I will resign."
