Shi Babao acted as if he didn't see that Qin Di had already reached Foundation Establishment, as if it was a trivial matter. He taught Qin Di how to refine tools and said, "You can already refine level 4 tools, but you're still far from being a Master Blacksmith. Refining tools isn't about learning, but practice. It's best if you open a shop and refine tools for a few years. That way, you'll be able to make great progress. I once reached a bottleneck and had to run to a small town where mortals lived. I helped them make hoes and sickles for 30 years before I suddenly became enlightened and became a Master Blacksmith! "
Qin Di thought about it and said, "Grandmaster, you're right! I've been feeling impatient recently and want to open a shop and settle down for a few years. "
"Just do it. You're still so young, you should pick up all four arts and become a Grandmaster in each!"
Qin Di was shocked, "Become a Grandmaster in each of pills, tools, and talismans? Grandmaster, you scared me to death! "
Shi Babao smiled, "Even if I can't become a Grandmaster, it's barely enough to become a normal Grandmaster!"
"Grandmaster, it's too hard to learn so many things, and you can't specialize. It's better to just learn one."
Shi Babao said, "Do you know what an immortal is? An immortal is a human's fortune, born from Daoist Qi. You're still a low-level cultivator who's just started. In the early stages of cultivation, it's just a simple accumulation of energy. In the later stages, it's about the type and source of Daoist Qi. If you master the four arts, you'll come into contact with different Daos. When you become a Spirit Immortal or Heaven Immortal, you'll be able to master more laws and Heavenly Rules. The more laws you master, the more Heavenly Rules you'll be able to control, so you'll be compensated in the future if you put in more effort now! "
Qin Di was a little dazed, "Oh, I didn't know there was such a saying."
Shi Babao continued, "It's like how some parents train their children to have many skills. Although they might not be able to use these skills when they grow up, it broadens their children's horizons. Who knows, one day, there might be unexpected benefits. That's why the sects on the Spirit Mountain don't just focus on cultivation. Every once in a while, we'll have a grand competition for the four arts. Anyone who can become the best of the best will have a very high cultivation in the future. Many of them will climb the Spirit Mountain and enter the Spirit World. "
"Grandmaster, have you also participated in the competition?"
"This … This old man's aptitude was very poor when I was young, and my foundation was destroyed. Hence, even after putting in so much effort, I was still unable to correct it. Even so, being able to become a Dao Integration Perfected Lord does not mean that I have disgraced the name of a Blacksmith Grandmaster. You're different. You're still so young, and you've used the best materials at every step. When you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, you already had a Violet Kingdom that spanned tens of thousands of zhang. Your future is limitless! At this time, you shouldn't be seeking for refinement. Instead, you should be demanding for breadth. It's best if you want both breadth and refinement. You must advance the Four Arts of Cultivation to the level of Great Grandmaster. In the future, when you become a Celestial Immortal, your name will shake the Nine Heavens. You might even have the potential to become the Jin Xian Dao Ancestor! "
Qin Di couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, Grandmaster. I'll first learn to forge weapons and work hard to become a Grandmaster!"
"What Grandmaster, it's a Great Grandmaster!"
"Yes, a Great Grandmaster! Grandmaster, what is a Great Grandmaster? "
"A Great Grandmaster is someone who can forge Supreme Spiritual Treasures. A Ninth Stage Spirit Weapon can only be considered a Great Grandmaster! Don't think that it's only one stage. The difference between them is huge. "
"I understand. Thank you, Grandmaster. "
Three days later, the Spirit Ruins Valley had a new blacksmith shop called the 'Iron Flute Sword Pavilion'.
The shop was not big, and it only had three rooms.
The one at the front was a reception room, and the two at the back were weapon workshops.
There was a small counter in the reception room, and five or six spirit swords were hung on the wall. Other than that, there was nothing else.
There was a gray crafting furnace in the weapon workshop at the back. The fire below it burned brightly, illuminating the room.
There were only two people in the entire shop. At the front desk was a girl who looked very young. She had crescent eyebrows and starry eyes. Her face was like jade, and her figure was slender. She had a bit of heroic spirit, and she wore a blue outer sect disciple dress. Looking at her left temple, there was only a soybean-sized bulge. Obviously, she was only at the first stage of Qi Refinement.
The other person stood next to the crafting furnace, holding an incomplete longsword in one hand, and an iron hammer in the other. He looked very young, and his temple was flat. His forehead did not shine, so the depth of his power was unknown.
This young man who was forging was wearing ordinary clothes. It was neither green nor blue, and was not in the Golden Core Sect's clothing system at all. Either he did not want to reveal his identity, or he had long since withdrawn from the sect's nurturing list. Or he was simply an outsider.
Because it was newly opened, there were not many people in the shop.
Shen Yunyi, who was standing in the reception room, stood up and sat down, not knowing what to do.
She was a new disciple who had just entered the sect for more than a year. This was the first time she was looking for an opportunity to earn points, and she chose this from the group of tasks. Not for anything else, but for the income of two spirit stones a month.
Although two spirit stones was not much, it could be converted into 200 points. For a new disciple, it was considered not bad.
She also did not know what kind of person the Tools Refiner was, because it was the first day of the shop, so she only spoke a few words.
The Tools Refiner's appearance was not ordinary, and he looked refined, just like the young master of a rich family. However, this person was very dull. For more than half a day, he only looked at the sword in his hand and only knew how to hit it, not saying a word.
Shen Yunyi was really too bored, so she turned around and watched him forge the sword.
The iron hammer hit the sword bit by bit, and there was a kind of beauty that was full of rhythm.
The furnace's fire flickered, illuminating the Tools Refiner's face.
Neither of them spoke. The Tools Refiner looked focused and simply did not want to speak; Shen Yunyi did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the Tools Refiner's forging.
After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly movement at the door. It seemed like someone had entered the shop.
Shen Yunyi hurriedly walked over to greet him, "Senior Martial Brother, please come in, come in!"
The person who came was about thirty years old, had a square face, sharp eyebrows, and wore a green robe. It seemed like he was already an Inner Sanctum disciple.
Shen Yunyi asked eagerly, "Senior Martial Brother, what do you want? We only sell spirit swords here. "
The person looked at the spirit swords hanging on the wall and said, "Only these few? What level are they? "
"I'm sorry, our shop has just opened, so we only have these spirit swords. Other than this one which is level four, the rest are all level three. "
"Can I take a look at it?"
"Of course you can!"
The person moved closer to the wall and carefully looked for a moment. Then, he took down a level three spirit sword, held it in his hand, and said, "It feels good, but I don't know what the material is like, whether it is tough and sharp."
Shen Yunyi smiled and said, "That depends on Senior Martial Brother's judgment."
"How much is this sword?"
"Level three spirit swords are 200 spirit stones, level four is 1000 spirit stones."
