Chapter 379 The Demon Refiner Association

These words were like a blow to the head, instantly waking Zhu Youchen up, and he suddenly recalled the details of the conversation between the woman in brocade and the clerk yesterday.

At that time, the focus was on the woman in brocade and the musical instruments, but one important piece of information was ignored, which was that this store was a property owned by the Demon Refiner Association.

Now he brings a counterfeit pirated musical instrument to the Demon Refiner Association's store to discuss piracy business, which is tantamount to seeking death.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen understood what was going on in the series of inexplicable situations just now.

These people didn't want to discuss business with him, they were obviously trying to cause trouble for him!
"Ahem..." Zhu Youchen coughed a few times, covering up his inner embarrassment, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry, when I didn't say anything, when I got back, I immediately destroyed the musical instrument, and I will never do this again in the future. What a shame! Farewell!"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man did not speak, and the clerks obviously could not let him go easily. After taking a few steps, he was blocked by the fierce clerks.

Zhu Youchen turned around stiffly, his eyes awkward as he said, "You may not believe me, but this is a complete misunderstanding. This junior is new here and has never seen much of the world. Please forgive me~!"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhu Youchen with a half-smile, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Now you know you are wrong?"

"..." Zhu Youchen nodded stiffly.

"Do you know what the consequences of your behavior will be?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked loudly.

Fortunately, Zhu Youchen's mentality is stable enough. If he were a normal person, he would probably be taken aback for a while, "The juniors really don't understand these things when they come out of the holy city."

"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted and said: "The reason why the association wants to protect mechanical copyrights is to protect those colleagues who study hard and innovate seriously. If all the magicians plagiarize other people's achievements casually like you, then in the future, Who will go back to study and innovate? Huh?!”

"You are right, I will definitely pay attention to this in the future." Zhu Youchen said with sincerity in his eyes.

"It's good if you understand. The original intention of our Demon Refiner Association was to safeguard the interests of the Demon Refiner community, as well as the stability and development of the Demon Refining industry and academia." The middle-aged man said meaningfully: "I wish I could do that at your age. Xiao, this is my first time here again, so this matter is in the past.”

Upon hearing that the other party let him go so easily, Zhu Youchen quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior!"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, then smiled lightly and took the pirated musical instrument on the table. He looked at it with interest for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "Apart from anything else, your level of imitation musical instrument is really pretty good. , I think you are only about 20 years old, how many levels have you learned in demon refining?"

"This..." Zhu Youchen thought for a while and said calmly: "It's probably at level three."

"Yo~! You can refine demons at the third level at such a young age, not bad~!" The middle-aged man said with slight surprise: "Where did it come from? Who did you study under?"

"Returning to the seniors, the juniors came from Lanxin City and did not have a teacher." Zhu Youchen said nonsensically without changing his expression: "Now I have slowly figured out the magic refining skills by myself."

It's not that Zhu Youchen is pretending to be cool, it's mainly that Kang Chenzi's existence is not easily exposed.

The middle-aged man was slightly startled and asked with questioning eyes: "Boy, are you sure you are not joking?" "Junior is not joking with you." Zhu Youchen explained seriously: "Junior was born in a small town near Lanxin City, and his family background is I was poor, but I was lucky enough to become a puppet master because of the kindness of Her Majesty the Holy Lady. After I accidentally learned that you can make money by refining demons, you started to explore on your own."

Hearing this, not only the middle-aged man was stunned, but also several shop assistants nearby.

Although they are just store clerks, they are all members of the Demon Refiner Association. Even if they are not Demon Refiners, they still know something about the Demon Refining Circle.

Nowadays, someone can become a third-level magician by self-study. They can't believe it even to death.

"Are you really self-taught in demon refining?" the middle-aged man confirmed in surprise.

"That's right." Zhu Youchen nodded confidently without any guilt. After all, he had followed the path of self-exploration from the beginning. Although he studied under Kang Chenzi, his magic refining techniques were completely explored by himself. His style is his own. In essence, he can It can be regarded as a half-taught, half-self-taught demon refining.

Therefore, when faced with these people's doubts, Zhu Youchen was not worried at all. Even if the other party wanted to verify, he would be honest.

The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense and went straight to verify it on the spot. The empty jade ring between his fingers shone slightly, and he threw out a few third-level scraps and said: "You can inject magic on the spot and show me."

In response to this, Zhu Youchen did not panic at all. He calmly stepped forward and picked up the leftover materials and began to infuse the demon. With his demon refining ability, it was basically impossible to fail with the third-level materials. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhu Youchen deliberately failed two attempts. It was not until the third time that the magic injection was successful, and the level of magic refining was deliberately controlled, pretending to be a jerky feeling.

After finishing the work, the middle-aged man sucked the magic-infused material into his hand with a casual move. After Ningmei used his spiritual sense to explore it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the look in his eyes towards Zhu Youchen had completely changed.

As a top magician, the middle-aged man could tell at a glance that Zhu Youchen's magic infusion technique was discovered by himself.

Although each magician's magic refining techniques are different, as long as there is a master, the technique will more or less have some traces of the master's inheritance, as well as some obvious traces of routines, which will be clearly displayed in the finished magic-infused product. .

As for the third-level leftover material that Zhu Youchen infused with demons, there are no traces of inheritance, nor any traces of routines or formulas. Many places are still a bit jerky, and there are even a few places where the demon-infused positions are almost close to the weaknesses of the internal structure of the material. If it is slightly off, the entire structure may collapse.

It is impossible for any magician who has a master's training or has gone through systematic demon-refining studies to inject magic into such a finished product.

"Little guy, do you want to learn real demon refining?" the middle-aged man said with bright eyes.

Zhu Youchen said a little strangely: "Uh, am I pretending to be a demon?"

"It can't be said to be a fake demon refining." The middle-aged man smiled hoarsely and said: "It is really commendable that you can explore the third level of demon refining on your own, but there are still many problems with your method of demon refining. If you continue to explore like this, It will definitely not go far, if you are willing to worship under the old master, the old master will definitely be able to train you to be a top alchemist."

"This..." Zhu Youchen couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't expect that things would develop in such a strange direction.

"What? Are you afraid that I can't teach you well?" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, suddenly sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Let me introduce myself, I, Pan Yongming, a ninth-level magician, currently a You are an elder member of the Holy State Demon Refiner Association, how about you little guy, are you still worried that I can’t teach you well?”
