Chapter 160

"Kid, what's your name?" The old man sat on the grass with one hand holding onto the roasted meat and the other holding onto the wine pot as he asked in enjoyment.

"Cheng Yu." Although this old man wasn't bad and had even given him the map that had accompanied him for hundreds of years, Cheng Yu did not wish to tell him too much about himself.

"En. You wish to learn blacksmithing?" Regarding Cheng Yu's identity, the old man also wished to know more. However, if Cheng Yu didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't continue asking.

"En. The equipment in the market is too expensive. Furthermore, even if I were to encounter some good equipment, it might not be suitable for me. Therefore, I wish to forge suitable equipment for myself."

"That's true. However, you must know that a person's lifetime energy is limited. Just raising one's cultivation to achieve the Great Dao is not enough. If you were to spend a lot of time on blacksmithing, in the future, your cultivation progress would be very slow. To you, this is not a good thing. I can see that your aptitude is not bad. If you were to focus on cultivating, your future achievements would definitely not be low. Why do you want to waste your time on this? "

Perhaps, it was because he cherished talent, the old man hoped that Cheng Yu would be able to focus on raising his cultivation. In the Cultivation World, there were a lot of experts who focused on cultivating. Even if they were to learn some other skills, they would be very ordinary and would not research too much into it.

This was because they needed to compete with life. Although the increase in their cultivation would increase their lifespan, compared to the Great Dao, this little bit of lifespan was too short. Therefore, there were a lot of times where they were not allowed to research other skills.

"I know about this. However, in my opinion, the path of cultivation is very long. The Heavenly Dao is formless and unpredictable. Cultivation is the Dao, blacksmithing is the Dao, and pill concocting is also the Dao. Since they are all Dao, I feel that the more Dao you come in contact with, the more comprehension you will have towards the Dao. Naturally, your cultivation will also increase, "Cheng Yu said disapprovingly.

In his previous life, he had already experienced too much. Although a majority of the cultivators only focused on cultivating, there were a lot of experts who did not have any other abilities.

"This … … the more Dao you come in contact with, the more comprehension you will have towards the Dao?" When the old man heard Cheng Yu's words, he was stunned. When he recalled what Cheng Yu had said, he suddenly understood something. Suddenly, he said happily, "You are right. Since it is all Dao, in the end, it is all for the sake of raising one's cultivation. Why is there a need to rigidly focus on cultivating? What you said is right. Haha! "

"Alright. Since we have eaten our fill, let's part ways here!" With regards to the old man's excitement, Cheng Yu didn't think much of it. Because he had never thought of focusing on cultivation. Not to mention his identity as an alchemist, just based on his current situation in the secular world, he still had to properly fall in love.

If it was possible, Cheng Yu really wished to tell the old man that cultivation was a Dao. Falling in love was also a Dao. Marrying a wife and having children was also a Dao.

However, Cheng Yu didn't wish to talk about Dao with the old man. Therefore, he straightforwardly stopped the topic. He wiped his mouth and kept the wine pot as he prepared to bid farewell to the old man.

"Wait a moment!" When the old man saw Cheng Yu was about to leave, he quickly recalled the comprehension in his heart and called out to Cheng Yu.

"Is there anything else?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"Didn't you wish to learn blacksmithing? Actually, I can teach you, "The old man looked at Cheng Yu and laughed.

"Old man, you know blacksmithing? Are you for real? "When Cheng Yu heard the old man's words, he was astonished. Ever since Cheng Yu met the old man, the old man had always been sloppy. Even when he was fighting, he had never used any weapons or other equipment. Therefore, Cheng Yu had never thought that the old man knew blacksmithing.

"Of course it's real. Although my blacksmithing ability isn't the strongest in the Cultivation World, I can still be considered as a master," When he heard Cheng Yu's questioning tone, the old man was somewhat dissatisfied as he said proudly.

"Old man, it's not that I don't believe you. At the very least, you should take out some equipment and let me have a look!"

"Alright. I will let you have a look at my ability," After the old man finished speaking, he took out a greenish yellow armor from his storage ring.

"Spiritual Tool?!" When Cheng Yu saw the armor on the old man's hand, he was truly shocked.

In the Cultivation World, equipment was divided into five grades. Magic Tool, Treasured Tool, Spiritual Tool, Soul Tool, Immortal Tool. Of course, there was also the existence of Divine Tool and Sage Tool. However, in the low-grade world that Cheng Yu was currently in, it was impossible for them to exist.

Magic Tools were very ordinary. They were suitable for Qi Training Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Furthermore, magic tools were unable to advance. As for Treasured Tool, it was considered as the standard equipment for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. However, this place was located in the middle of the Cultivation World and the Secular World. The cultivators weren't very rich. Therefore, it was very rare to see Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators holding onto Treasured Tools.

Treasured Tools could advance, but not all Treasured Tools were able to advance. Only supreme-grade Treasured Tools that had developed their own consciousness would be able to advance into a Spiritual Tool.

As for Spiritual Tools, they had already developed their own consciousness. Even though they were unable to communicate with the owner, the owner could still use their consciousness to control them. When a Spiritual Tool had its own consciousness and developed its own intelligence, it would be able to advance into a Soul Tool.

As for Soul Tools and Immortal Tools, they all had their own spirit. From this, it could be seen how extraordinary a Spiritual Tool was.

"At least you have some foresight. You even know that this is a Spiritual Tool," When the old man saw that Cheng Yu was finally shocked by him, he revealed a complacent expression.

"Old man, did you really refine this yourself? Can you really refine a Spiritual Tool? " Cheng Yu did not dare to believe it. In the past, when Cheng Yu was in the Immortal World, he had an entire body of Immortal Tools. But now that he had reincarnated, other than his soul, the rest of his body was in tatters.

This was the first Spiritual Tool that Cheng Yu had seen in this world. It was also the highest grade equipment that he had seen so far.

"Of course. Do you really think that I only know how to eat?" The old man said complacently.

"Great! Old man, since you can refine a Spiritual Tool by yourself, why don't you gift this armor to me? In any case, the both of us are acquainted with each other. I even treated you well for such a long time," After getting the old man's confirmation, Cheng Yu immediately licked his lips and giggled.

"Don't even think about it. Although I can refine a Spiritual Tool, it's not as simple as what you said. To refine a Spiritual Tool, not only do I need to gather a large amount of precious materials, the end product might not necessarily be a Spiritual Tool. This Spiritual Tool had cost me a lot of effort, "When he saw how shameless Cheng Yu was, the old man quickly kept the armor.

The old man could indeed refine a Spiritual Tool, but the success rate was not high. This armor was the proudest piece of equipment that the old man had refined. It was also the only Spiritual Tool that he had refined. How could he give it to Cheng Yu so easily?

"Stingy! Isn't it just a Spiritual Tool? In the future, when I become rich, let alone a Spiritual Tool, I can even gift you an Immortal Tool," Although Cheng Yu acknowledged the old man's words, he still spoke disdainfully.

"Heh heh! Then wait until you become rich!" When the old man saw how unhappy Cheng Yu was, he chuckled and said.

"It's fine if you don't want it. Old man, didn't you want to teach me how to refine tools? Teach me now! " Since he could not get his hands on a spiritual tool, he would learn how to refine a spiritual tool. When he went out to train himself, he would find some materials to refine it himself.

"I want to teach you how to refine tools, but there must be a condition. Otherwise, I won't be so free," The old man laughed.

"Condition? What condition? Tell me, "He knew that there was no free lunch in this world.

"I think highly of you and wish to accept you as my disciple. If you are willing to take me as your teacher, I will promise to teach you how to refine tools," A disciple with good aptitude was hard to come by. A disciple that was able to match his temperament was even harder to come by.

Originally, the old man also had the thought of accepting Cheng Yu as his disciple, but he was not in a hurry. The reason why he had been following Cheng Yu was because he wanted to understand Cheng Yu better.

Now that he saw that not only was Cheng Yu's aptitude good, he also desired to refine tools so much. In addition to his unique understanding and comprehension of the heavenly law, the old man felt that he could not let such a good disciple slip by. Therefore, he decided to accept Cheng Yu as his disciple when they were about to part ways. This way, it would be troublesome if Cheng Yu got snatched away.

"Accept me as your disciple? But I already have a teacher. How can I become someone else's disciple? " When he heard the old man wanted to accept him as his disciple, Cheng Yu did not show any expression. However, he was calculating the pros and cons in his heart. He also did not wish for others to know that he was just a commander without an army.

"This doesn't matter. I will not teach you anything in terms of cultivation. I will only teach you how to refine tools," The old man seemed to have already thought of this problem as he replied without any hesitation.

"So it's like this. Old man, you are so powerful. It's not impossible for me to have you as my teacher. But you have to at least tell me your background right? What if I don't get along with you and end up being pulled onto the pirate ship by you? Who am I supposed to reason with then?" Actually, Cheng Yu was very curious about the old man's identity.

It was known that this place was still within Kunlun Mountain's territory. Such a powerful old man, Cheng Yu was very afraid that he might be a senior from Kunlun. Therefore, for the past few days, Cheng Yu had never mentioned anything about himself in front of the old man. However, it was not good for him to take the initiative to ask about it. Therefore, he might as well not bring it up.

Now that he was going to acknowledge the old man as his teacher, he had to make things clear. Otherwise, if he were to be pulled into Kunlun, wouldn't it be a great mockery to him? When he returned, how was he going to explain to Lan Ya that he had gotten along well with an old man from Kunlun? This wasn't good.

"I can tell you this. I am from Limitless Palace. My dao name is Wu Ming Zi," The old man replied straightforwardly.

"What! Limitless Palace? You said you are from Limitless Palace? "Although the old man had said it very simply, it had shocked Cheng Yu once again. This world was truly too small. When he went against Kunlun, he had always used the name of Limitless Palace.

The reason was very simple. Previously, Master Xuan Yi had told him that Limitless Palace was an ancient sect. Furthermore, they were in a hidden state in the Cultivation World. By using the name of Limitless Palace in the Secular World, Cheng Yu was able to intimidate Kunlun and was not afraid of being exposed.

However, he didn't expect that when he had just entered the Cultivation World, he would meet a genuine Limitless Palace disciple. This was too much of a coincidence. Fortunately, when the old man had asked him about his teacher and identity, he had stopped talking. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.
