'The technique and craftsmanship really are poor, and lack of experience shows openly, the Spiritual Qi circuit is rudimentary and won't be that effective, not to mention the messy finish... although that could be a result of being discovered forging it during the finishing process and having to complete it in secret', Wu Long turned his gaze back to the pot he was holding.
'But...', his eyes narrowed, '...there is ambition and creativity in the forging process'
What Wu Long sought in those he wished to recruit if they were artisans - apart from inner character which applied to anyone he recruited - was true passion and ambition for the Dao they were practicing.
That not only would ensure they would strive to constantly better themselves, reaching for further heights and naturally motivated to produce better results, but was also, conveniently easier for him to entice as he was able to give them a chance at reaching heights they never even dreamed of before.
