Chapter 2835: Chapter 2855: If You Have the Ability, You Teach Too!

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen exchanged glances and both laughed.

This kid is really interesting.

What he said was actually not wrong; such an opportunity where two great Artifact Refining Masters are alone yet have nothing to do is indeed very rare.

Su Hao readily agreed, "Okay, since you have this intention, I will give you some guidance to see if you have the talent for refining artifacts. We can talk about other matters later."

"I had already promised to pass on the Blossom Refining Technique to you, and although things have changed, I cannot go back on my word."

Lin Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior."

Su Hao waved his hand dismissively. "No need for formalities, it’s just like idling away a rainy day by spanking kids— I’m free anyway. Come on, since you said you have doubts, voice them out, and I’ll help you clarify."

Lin Chen then voiced his doubts; he had not actually practiced hands-on yet, as everything about artifact refining was still theoretical to him. But by clearing all doubts before practicing, he would naturally avoid much trouble.

The issues raised by Lin Chen were very basic ones, and Su Hao answered them casually while handing over an Earth Fire Ring to Lin Chen.

"Inside here is Earth Fire, which you can use to practice. It’s more suitable for beginners..."

Lin Chen did not stand on ceremony, thanked him, accepted it, and then began his refining process.

After reaching a transaction with Su Hao before, Lin Chen reviewed the Jade Slip he got and went to purchase quite a few materials for refining. These were all relatively low-level basic materials, ideal for practice.

In this special environment, Lin Chen commenced his journey in learning artifact refinement.

As days passed, Lin Chen’s progress was incredibly rapid.

After all, why wouldn’t he progress quickly with two top-tier Artifact Refining Masters by his side?

Initially, it was just Su Hao guiding Lin Chen, but Dai Yunshen later couldn’t help but join in out of sheer boredom.

Su Hao looked at Dai Yunshen answering Lin Chen’s questions and taunted, "Although Lin Chen hasn’t formally become my disciple, we have a transaction, and I will teach him the Blossom Refining Technique. That already counts as passing on skills. My guidance is justified. What business is it of yours to butt in?"

Upon hearing Su Hao’s words, Dai Yunshen waved his hand dismissively, "Then you take over."

Su Hao sneered, "I was supposed to from the beginning, what’s it to you?"

Dai Yunshen was ready to step back, but upon hearing Su Hao’s words, he suddenly became unwilling.

"What do you mean by that? Lin Chen isn’t your disciple. If you can teach, why can’t I?"

Su Hao sneered again, "I’m teaching him the Blossom Refining Technique. What will you teach him, how to refine an iron piece?"

Dai Yunshen was provoked by Su Hao’s words, "The Blossom Refining Technique is just one of the techniques from your Xinghe Sect’s Hundred Refinement Technique, it’s not some ultimate secret that’s not passed on. Why the arrogance?"

"It’s not a non-passable secret, but it’s enough."

Su Hao made a welcoming gesture, "Why don’t you teach something more powerful then?"

Dai Yunshen glared at Su Hao for a few seconds before suddenly laughing, "Are you trying to provoke me, old man?"

Su Hao nodded, "Yes, I am provoking you. Don’t talk nonsense. Just say whether you’ll teach or not. If not, just step aside. After all, whatever you know, I know too. There’s no need to split the favor in half."

Su Hao spoke bluntly while Dai Yunshen indeed felt like he had been outmaneuvered. Indeed, both were artifact refining masters, and apart from their sects’ core artifact refining techniques, their skills were quite comparable, each knowing what the other did. There was no significant difference.

Dai Yunshen looked at Lin Chen and sneered, "I’ve watched him refine for two days. Although he’s just beginning, he clearly has talent. Teaching him some true skills wouldn’t disgrace me."

Dai Yunshen turned to stare at Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, would you like to join my Skyfire Sect, and learn the secret Skyfire Refining Technique from our sect?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback before politely declining, "I am just passing through the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain and will soon be leaving. To take a master under such circumstances seems meaningless. Thank you for your kind offer, Senior."

Dai Yunshen furrowed his brows. Before he could speak, Su Hao began to mock, "You really know how to take advantage of situations. I’m teaching Lin Chen the Blossom Refining Technique. I only asked him not to spread it. I didn’t even bring up joining the sect, yet you straight away want him to commit to the Skyfire Sect. What, planning to steal my sect’s refining techniques from him later?"

"You’re picking the cheap way in such a disgusting manner. Just say it if you’re reluctant, instead of pulling these stunts..."

Su Hao mocked Dai Yunshen relentlessly, his words sharp as swords, wishing he could physically puncture Dai Yunshen multiple times with his remarks.

Provoked, Dai Yunshen’s face turned red, "I’m not coveting your Blossom Refining Technique. The Skyfire Refining Technique is only for core disciples of my sect, and I asked him to join merely as a formality. What’s wrong with that? I never said that he has to come back with me to Skyfire Sect!"

Su Hao sneered, "Heh!"

Su Hao seemed to say nothing, but it was as if he had already said every unpleasant thing, hitting Dai Yunshen hard.

"I know you’re just trying to provoke me, to drag me down. Fine, if you can teach him the Blossom Refining Technique, I can also teach him the Skyfire Refining Technique, as long as he keeps it to himself. But if he can’t learn it, don’t blame me for being stingy!"

Su Hao chuckled and raised his thumb, "Generous! Considering you’re teaching him the Skyfire Refining Technique, I’ll split these three months of teaching time with you. Whether he learns it or not is up to him!"

Dai Yunshen looked at Su Hao with a smile, aware that the latter had succeeded in his ruse, but he didn’t mind, "Alright, let’s teach then. I have nothing else to do anyway, let’s talk after three months."

Dai Yunshen was rather pessimistic about the future, perhaps that’s why he didn’t mind Su Hao’s provocation and decided to impart the core refining technique of Skyfire Sect to Lin Chen.

If they survived, the deed of the two instructors teaching one student could be a topic of discussion. If they died, then naturally all would be at rest.

Lin Chen hadn’t expected such a fortunate accident; he was not only able to receive guidance from the two grandmasters, Su Hao and Dai Yunshen, but also learn their prized core refining techniques.

Big profit!

Lin Chen could somewhat understand Dai Yunshen’s thoughts; since they were all going to die, might as well pass it on, at least he wouldn’t have to face Su Hao mocking him for being stingy.

However, Lin Chen was confident in his own heart. If the black-robed people truly turned hostile and intended to kill, he and Gong Jianying would attempt to rescue the two masters. He wondered how they would react then.

Lin Chen respectfully bowed to the two, "Thank you, both Seniors. Although I cannot join the Star River Sect or Skyfire Sect, your guidance in the arts is a great favor to me. In my heart, I naturally regard you both as my teachers. My future deeds may not make you proud, but I definitely won’t bring you shame."

Su Hao stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, these words are enough."

Pausing a moment, Su Hao added, "Previously, I mentioned the Blossom Refining Technique as part of our transaction. You don’t owe me any favor. Now that you’ve said this, I would feel a bit bad if I didn’t teach you something substantial."

"Just learn freely. Based on the time available, I’ll teach you as much as you can comprehend..."
