Ning Cheng stood outside Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting Store; he really could not understand why an Artefact-crafting Store would have such a name.
"Senior, may I ask what kind of magic treasure you want to forge? You can just record it here." Ning Cheng had just walked into Zhongli Baichi Artefact-crafting Store, and had not even had the time to look around the interior of the store, when a soft and pleasant voice rang out in his ears.
The one who spoke was a very pretty female cultivator. She stood behind a counter that was half the height of a person, with her hands crossed in front of her chest, while looking at Ning Cheng with a smile in her eyes.
Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, this kind of professional smile, he almost thought that he had returned to Earth. This female cultivator also looked like a Celestial Gatherer Cultivator, yet she still addressed him as' Senior ', a cultivator without a Celestial Wheel.
"Oh, I came here to look for Senior Zhong Li. I want to learn Crafting Artefacts from Senior Zhong Li ….." Ning Cheng did not know if it was really that simple to become an apprentice in this place.
When the pretty-looking female cultivator heard that Ning Cheng wanted to take her as his master, the smile on her face grew even brighter. "Taking me as your master is naturally not a problem. You just need to tell me your name and then hand over a Starry Sky Grade 9 Artefact-crafting Material. Then you can become my master's disciple."
Ning Cheng looked at this female cultivator in doubt, "Don't I need to see Senior Zhong Li?"
The female cultivator showed a faint smile, "Of course I have to see you. However, I can only tell you about the rules after you formally acknowledge me as your master. There aren't many rules in our Baichi Artefact-crafting Store, but we have to abide by them. "
Ning Cheng looked at the pavilion and found that the entrance to the second floor was blocked by a restriction. However, the area of the first floor was not small, but it also had luxurious decorations. A few magic treasures that were at least high-grade dao artefacts were fixed in place by the crystal array formation. They were placed on the display cabinets, looking very conspicuous.
In addition, there was a row of seats for guests to rest.
"Are you also Senior Zhongli's disciple? Are there a lot of disciples here? "Ning Cheng asked as he looked around. Although he had made a small fortune on the floating starland and had a dozen or so starry sky grade 9 artefact-crafting raw materials on him, he didn't have enough raw materials.
The delicate looking female cultivator immediately revealed a look of respect, "Of course I'm Senior Zhong Li's disciple. There are many people who come here to take me as their master, but there aren't many who understand Tools Dao. Master is kind-hearted and always wants to pass on his legacy. "
At this moment, another cultivator came in. This cultivator's eyes only glanced at Ning Cheng slightly, but Ning Cheng immediately felt a little suppressed. This person definitely was a powerhouse in the Heaven Seated Realm.
This cultivator didn't care about a low-levelled cultivator like Ning Cheng. He just glanced at Ning Cheng before taking out a dozen materials and placing them in front of the pretty-looking female cultivator. "I want to craft a high-grade defensive Dao Artefact. A shield-shaped one would do."
The pretty-looking female cultivator calmly put away the materials and said, "Senior can come and get it tomorrow."
After the cultivator heard this, he turned around and left, not leaving any evidence behind.
After the cultivator left, Ning Cheng asked, "Is it because the price for crafting high-grade Dao Artefacts is fixed, so this senior did not say the price?"
The female cultivator showed a faint smile towards Ning Cheng and spoke, "This place does not accept Celestial Coins for crafting artefacts, but only double the materials. Double the materials might not be the same, but it must be double. "
Ning Cheng secretly felt surprised. If it were an ordinary weapon, then it would have been fine. However, refining a high-grade Dao Artefact would require twice the amount of materials.
"Senior Martial Brother, have you decided to take me as your master? If not, you can come back tomorrow. "The female cultivator didn't seem to want to talk to Ning Cheng anymore.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a long time before pretending to feel some pain. He took out a fist-sized material and placed it in front of the female cultivator, "My name is Wanderer, and this is my apprenticeship gift."
"Extreme Fire Silkworm Gold?" The female cultivator reached out and grabbed the material Ning Cheng handed over and spoke out in surprise. As for Ning Cheng's name, she didn't seem to care about it at all.
"Good stuff." The female cultivator grabbed the red material and looked at it for a while before saying those three words before putting it away.
"I haven't asked Senior Martial Sister's surname." Ning Cheng saw the female cultivator put away the Extreme Fire Silkworm Gold and quickly asked. In fact, what he wanted to ask was not the surname of this female cultivator, but when he could meet Zhongli Baichi.
The female cultivator looked at Ning Cheng with a smile and spoke, "You don't have to call me Senior Martial Sister. I'm the youngest among all the disciples here. Just call me Junior Martial Sister Yan. Don't worry, just sit here and wait. Every disciple, this master will do his best to teach them. "
Ning Cheng felt slightly relieved. He did not know why Zhongli Baichi's other disciples could not learn his artefact-crafting methods. In his opinion, as long as this Senior Zhongli taught them with all his heart, he did not believe that he would not be able to learn it. The most powerful ability of the Mysterious Yellow Formless was learning. What's more, before he obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, his greatest ability was learning.
"Junior Martial Sister Yan, I don't know how master teaches? I have never learned artefact-crafting before, so I would like to consult Senior Martial Sister first. "Ning Cheng politely asked from the side.
This delicate and pretty female cultivator's face reverted to the professional smile she had when Ning Cheng came in, before she spoke up in a gentle tone, "The first time master teaches is to let you watch him craft artefacts."
Ning Cheng nodded, "That's for the best. I'm not familiar with artefact-crafting, so I will first see how master crafts artefacts, so that I can be prepared. Junior Martial Sister Yan, after watching master craft artefacts, will you start teaching from the basics? "
Junior Martial Sister Yan still had a professional smile on her face as she spoke, "Whatever you want to learn in the future, it will have to depend on Senior Martial Brother."
Junior Martial Sister Yan looked at Ning Cheng and shook her head, "No, it's to see what kind of artefact-crafting materials Senior Martial Brother brings out in the future."
Ning Cheng felt slightly startled and immediately asked, "Is it to ask questions that I don't understand, and then guide me in a targeted manner?"
Junior Martial Sister Yan looked at Ning Cheng and shook her head, "No, it's to see what kind of artefact-crafting materials Senior Martial Brother brings out, and then we can talk about the second time." No wonder this old fogey did not have a single good disciple for countless years. Who would have thought that there would be such a swindler.
Only by handing over a starry sky grade 9 artefact-crafting material would one get a chance to watch master craft artefacts. How many materials would he need to learn artefact-crafting from this master?
Zhongli Baichi, Ning Cheng finally understood the meaning of this name. This was more than just eating for free, it was simply eating for free without any sense of shame. For a disciple who had never learned artefact-crafting, it would be strange if he could learn how to craft a Dao Artefact.
Seeing Ning Cheng silently find a place to sit down, Junior Martial Sister Yan felt a little strange. Many cultivators, after learning about this rule, would immediately kick up a fuss. However, making a fuss here, apart from being thrown out, would not bring them any benefits. They would even lose the chance to watch an artefact crafting.
This disciple without a celestial wheel, yet he was able to keep his composure. By the way, what was his name? It seemed that he was called Wanderer, which sounded like a fake name. However, who cared if he had a name or not?
Ning Cheng knew that it did not make any sense for him to make a fuss. Therefore, he chose to sit here quietly to watch Zhongli Baichi craft artefacts before leaving. Letting him continue to hand over starry sky materials and continue learning artefact-crafting, he was not that stupid.
One day passed by quickly, while Ning Cheng sat in the store without moving. Business here was quite good, with people bringing in materials from time to time to craft artefacts.
"Senior Martial Brother Wanderer, please follow me upstairs to watch master craft artefacts." Ning Cheng, who had been sitting for a day, finally heard Junior Martial Sister Yan's invitation.
Junior Martial Sister Yan activated the restriction over the Artefact-crafting Store and then led Ning Cheng to the second floor. As soon as Ning Cheng reached the second floor, he immediately felt a chill. He felt a little strange in his heart. It stood to reason that artefact-crafting places were always hot, so why did this place feel so cold?
Ning Cheng immediately came to know what was going on, an incomparably thin old man was in the middle of refining a Sword Artefact. An ice-cold flame surrounded the sword, and the surrounding temperature seemed to be sucked away by the sword. At the same time, the aura coming from the sword grew stronger and stronger. From the looks of it, it was at least a high-grade Dao Artefact.
As the old man made one mysterious gesture after another, array formations overlapped and intertwined within the ice-cold flame before finally merging into the sword.
With a crisp sound, the sword in the old man's hand seemed to have gained a life of its own. It rushed out of the ice-cold flame and suspended above the old man's head. After the sword rushed out, the ice-cold flame also disappeared in an instant.
"Good sword." Junior Martial Sister Yan looked at the sword suspended above the old man's head and called out in surprise.
Ning Cheng looked at the old man and secretly thought to himself, is this Zhongli Baichi? Sure enough, he looks like a freeloader. A few sparse hairs rested on top of his head, while he sat there with his back hunched. Although his eyes looked down, Ning Cheng could still see that Zhongli Baichi had two eyes, one big and one small.
The old man also raised his head and glanced at Ning Cheng, "Since you've learned it, then go down."
Ning Cheng felt both shocked and angry. This old thing, he had just come up, yet he had already learned it. What was going on here?
Junior Martial Sister Yan spoke to Ning Cheng with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother, please follow me downstairs. Senior Apprentice Brother is always welcome to come and learn next time."
Ning Cheng did not pay any attention to this Junior Apprentice Sister Yan. He cupped his fists towards Zhongli Baichi and spoke, "Senior Baichi, although I know that you cultivated a cheap hand, but by the time I came up, your cheap hand had already recovered. When I paid the tuition fee, I said that I would be able to watch you refine an artefact once. However, I have only seen one-tenth of it.
Senior's reputation has spread far and wide across the Grand Culmination Starry Skies, so surely you wouldn't go back on your words, right? If Senior really wants to teach me because I saw you refining it, oh, it's just one-tenth of the refining process, then I would have nothing to say. "
"Haha …." Zhongli Baichi on hearing Ning Cheng's words unexpectedly laughed, "Since you think that you did not understand it, then I will refine another artefact. That one-tenth of the sword-refining process can be considered as a gift to you."
"Many thanks, Senior." Ning Cheng cupped his fists, "That one-tenth of the refining process belongs to Senior. I do not dare to ask you to give it to me as a gift. As long as Senior reaches nine-tenths of the refining process, then you can stop."
"Humph, do you think this master only knows how to refine swords?" As Zhongli Baichi spoke, several materials flew out from his hands.
