Talent and ability are certainly important, but without liking what you do or taking it seriously, achieving anything significant is difficult.
Teacher Wuduo had already heard of Qin Sisi's excellent Fire Attribute and thought if she truly liked forging, it would be worth nurturing her talent.
It didn't matter that her Gold Attribute Magic fell a bit short. Diligence could make up for lack of genius, and hard work and accumulation could greatly compensate for any deficiencies in talent.
Wuduo returned the sword to Qin Sisi with a meaningful tone, "Keep this sword for yourself; after all, it's your very first creation, and it will serve as a memento."
Qin Sisi was delighted. When she had handed the sword over to Teacher Wuduo, she had also felt reluctant to part with it. The weapon she had toiled over was like her own child, and even though she knew its quality was average, that didn't diminish her affection for her first piece.
