"Kid, what's your name?" The old man sat on the grass with a roasted meat in one hand and a wine jug in the other. He asked in enjoyment.
"Cheng Yu." Although the old man wasn't bad and even gave 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 wanted to know more. However, if Cheng Yu didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't continue asking.
"En. The equipment in the market is too expensive. Even if I encounter some good equipment, it might not be suitable for me. Therefore, I wish to refine suitable equipment for myself."
"That's true. However, you must know that a person's 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, your future cultivation would be very slow. This is not a good thing for you. 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 waste your time on this? "
Perhaps it was because he cherished talent, the old man hoped that Cheng Yu would focus on raising his cultivation. In the Cultivation World, a lot of experts were focused on cultivating. Even if they learned other skills, they would be very ordinary. They did not research too much into it.
This was because they needed to compete with life. Although the increase in cultivation would increase their lifespan, compared to the Great Dao, this lifespan was too short. Therefore, most of the time, they would not be able to research other skills.
"I know. However, in my opinion, the path of cultivation is 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 the majority of cultivators only focused on cultivating, a lot of experts did not have any other abilities.
"This … … the more Dao you come in contact with, the more comprehension you will have towards the Dao?" Hearing Cheng Yu's words, the old man was stunned. When he recalled this sentence, he suddenly understood. Suddenly, he said happily, "You are right. Since it is all Dao, ultimately, it will all be for the sake of increasing your cultivation. Why must you restrict yourself to cultivating? You are right. Haha! "
"Alright, since we're full, 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 wholeheartedly cultivating. 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 wanted to tell the old man that cultivation was the Dao. Falling in love was also the Dao. Marrying a wife and having children was the Dao. Furthermore, it was the Dao of human relations.
However, Cheng Yu did not wish to talk about human relations 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 minute!" Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to leave, the old man hurriedly called out to Cheng Yu.
"What else?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.
"Didn't you want to learn the art of refining? Actually, I can teach you! "The old man looked at Cheng Yu and smiled.
"Old man, you know how to forge weapons? Really? "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 how to forge weapons.
"Of course it's true. My blacksmithing skills might not be the best in the Cultivation World, but I can still be considered as a master," When the old man heard Cheng Yu's questioning tone, he was somewhat dissatisfied as he replied proudly.
"Old man, it's not that I don't believe you, but you should at least 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 astonished.
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 Saint Tool. However, in the low realm that Cheng Yu was 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. Treasured Tools were 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 were also not rich. Therefore, it was very rare to see Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators carrying treasured tools.
Treasured Tools could advance, but not all treasured tools could 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. Although 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 still know that this is a Spiritual Tool," When he saw Cheng Yu was finally shocked by him, the old man finally 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 really tattered.
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 already refine a Spiritual Tool, 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 he had refined. How could he give it to Cheng Yu so easily?
"Miser. Isn't it just a Spiritual Tool? Wait until I become rich in the future. Let's not talk about Spiritual Tools, I can even gift you an Immortal Tool," Although Cheng Yu acknowledged the old man's words, he still spoke in disdain.
"Hehe! Then wait until you become rich before talking about it!" When he saw Cheng Yu's unhappy expression, the old man chuckled.
"It's fine if you don't want it. Old man, didn't you want to teach me how to refine? You can teach me now! " Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Since he could not get a Spiritual Tool, he would learn how to refine a Spiritual Tool. When he went out to train, he would find some materials to refine it himself.
"I want to teach you how to refine a Spiritual Tool, but there must be a condition. Otherwise, I won't be so free," The old man laughed.
"Condition? What condition? Let me hear it first, "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 worship me as your teacher, I will promise to teach you how to refine a Spiritual Tool," It was hard to find a disciple with good aptitude.
Originally, the old man also had the thought of accepting Cheng Yu as his disciple, but he was not anxious. 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, but he also had a strong desire to refine a Spiritual Tool. In addition to his unique understanding and comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, the old man felt that he could not let go of such a good disciple. Therefore, he decided to accept Cheng Yu as his disciple when they were about to separate, so that it would be troublesome if Cheng Yu was 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 a lone wolf.
"It doesn't matter. I won't teach you anything in terms of cultivation. I'll only teach you how to forge weapons." The old man seemed to have thought of this problem long ago and said without any hesitation.
"So it's like this. Old man, you are so powerful. It's not impossible for me to acknowledge you as my teacher. But you have to at least tell me your background right? If I don't see eye to eye with you and end up being pulled onto the pirate ship by you, who am I supposed to reason with?" Actually, Cheng Yu was very curious about the old man's identity.
This place was still within Kunlun Mountain's boundary. Cheng Yu was very afraid that this formidable old man was a Kunlun senior. Therefore, for the past few days, Cheng Yu had never mentioned anything about himself in front of the old man. However, it wasn't good for him to take the initiative to ask about it. Therefore, he might as well not mention it.
Now that he was going to acknowledge him as his master, he had to figure it out. Otherwise, if he was pulled into the Kunlun Sect by the other party, wouldn't that be a great mockery to him? How was he going to explain to Lan Ya when he returned? How was he going to tell her that he and an old man from Kunlun had become enemies? That's not good, right?
"I can tell you this. I am from Limitless Palace. My name is Wu Ming Zi." The old man said straightforwardly.
"What?! Limitless Palace? You said you are from Limitless Palace? "Although the old man 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 person. This was too much of a coincidence. Fortunately, when the old man had asked him about his master and identity, he had stopped talking. Otherwise, he would really be exposed.
