After Zhongli Baichi took out the materials, Ning Cheng no longer spoke. He only had this one chance.
Zhongli Baichi suddenly brought out a faint golden flame, and Ning Cheng immediately felt the Celestial River Flame in his Zifu jumping up and down. What a powerful flame. Ning Cheng did not know anything about this flame, but this flame was much more powerful than his Celestial River Flame.
The moment the Celestial River Flame jumped, Zhongli Baichi looked up at Ning Cheng, but he quickly focused his attention on the materials in his hands.
Several materials suspended in the flame began to tremble before slowly dissolving. Some of the impurities directly turned to ash under the flames.
Zhongli Baichi's hands moved faster and faster. Ning Cheng's vision could not keep up with Zhongli Baichi's rhythm. At this moment, Ning Cheng completely immersed himself in this rhythm. He subconsciously stretched out his Spiritual Consciousness and penetrated into the terrifying flame.
When Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness penetrated into the flame, Zhongli Baichi felt a slight shock. He even looked up at Ning Cheng in disbelief. A mere Celestial Gatherer Cultivator without a Celestial Wheel could actually penetrate his Spiritual Consciousness into his flame?
At this moment, Ning Cheng completely forgot that he was watching someone else craft artefacts. His mind was filled with one scene after another, connected by a series of hand gestures.
Although Zhongli Baichi's hands moved faster and faster, the images in Ning Cheng's mind grew clearer and clearer. He saw the materials fusing layer by layer, then pulling them apart before fusing again. One after another, the shapes of weapons appeared in his consciousness, and he could clearly see the changes in every part of these weapons.
At this moment, something seemed to open up in his consciousness. It was an ancient leather scroll with many vicissitudes of life on it. He then saw some irrelevant words on the leather scroll. Then he saw the words on the leather scroll fusing with Zhongli Baichi's artefact-crafting hand gestures, forming one scene after another.
It was a saber artefact, and the saber artefact artefact-crafting hand gestures cut through the sky, directly splitting a huge mountain in half. Then, this long saber turned into a square seal, and when this huge square seal fell down, it directly turned the two halves of the mountain into dust … …
Endless images flashed in front of Ning Cheng, seemingly to serve the last scene.
The images were densely packed, and at this moment, Ning Cheng completely immersed himself in them.
"Cang" A crisp sound rang out, causing Ning Cheng to sober up from his immersion. He felt shocked in his heart, not only because of Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting level, but also because he saw something familiar in Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting techniques. It was the leather scroll that he had on him. He had snatched this leather scroll from Kang Cheng. After that, he looked at it a few times. Every time, it was a dense image.
Although he had comprehended some techniques from it, there wasn't anything particularly powerful. But today, when he saw Zhongli Baichi crafting an artefact, he unexpectedly gained a kind of enlightenment. If they were not in this place, he would have taken out the leather scroll long ago.
Seeing a long hook suspended in front of Zhongli Baichi, Ning Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt as if he had just realised that Zhongli Baichi's long hook had already been refined. However, he did not see the final scene of the long hook forming. Seeing Zhongli Baichi staring at him, Ning Cheng cupped his fists and spoke, "Many thanks to Senior Zhongli for allowing me to observe the artefact-crafting process. This junior will take his leave now."
Saying that Ning Cheng immediately stood up, turned around and walked down the stairs. Junior Apprentice Sister Yan on seeing Ning Cheng walk away quickly followed.
This time, Ning Cheng's harvest was not small. As such, he was not in the mood to continue staying here. He wanted to go into seclusion and comprehend the Dao of Artefacts.
Zhongli Baichi did not speak. He just looked at Ning Cheng's disappearing back and frowned in contemplation.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Yan, many thanks. Goodbye." Ning Cheng walked to the entrance of the Artefact-crafting Store before turning around and politely saying a few words.
Junior Apprentice Sister Yan was just about to speak when she suddenly trembled slightly and spoke up, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wanderer, please wait a moment."
After saying that, she quickly returned to the store. A moment later, Junior Apprentice Sister Yan handed a thick book to Ning Cheng and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, this is a book on the basics of crafting artefacts. Master asked me to give it to you."
Was there such a thing in this era? Why not a jade strip? Ning Cheng took the book and thanked her before asking, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yan, does every disciple who accepts a master have such a book?"
Junior Apprentice Sister Yan showed a faint smile but did not answer Ning Cheng's question. Instead, she just said goodbye before activating the restriction on the door.
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept through the book in his hand and was surprised to find that his Spiritual Consciousness could not penetrate the book at all. As there were too many cultivators on the street, Ning Cheng did not continue to read it. After throwing the book into his ring, he quickly left the Artefact-crafting Store.
… …
Celestial Rainbow Rest Stop, it was just a small rest stop in the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City. There were thousands of such rest stops in the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City.
The reason why Ning Cheng chose this rest stop was that it was relatively remote and cheap. Learning artefact-crafting was not something that could be done in a day or two. In a place like the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, celestial coins were not worth much.
After rearranging a stack of array formations in his room, Ning Cheng first took out the book that Zhongli Baichi had given him.
Opening the first page, Ning Cheng saw a variety of materials introduced in great detail. Not only did it contain the shape, aura, characteristics and so on, but it also contained its main functions.
Good stuff, Ning Cheng felt pleasantly surprised. If this book contained an introduction to a variety of materials, he would have been willing to exchange a starry sky Grade 9 Artefact-crafting Material for it.
However, Ning Cheng quickly felt that something was wrong. He could not open the second page, nor could his Spiritual Consciousness penetrate the second page. Not to mention that his Spiritual Consciousness could not penetrate the second page, even the contents of the first page could only be seen with his eyes. He could not use his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep through it.
Was this a book that could only be read with the eyes and not with Spiritual Consciousness? Ning Cheng's powerful memory played a role at this time, and he quickly memorized the contents of the first page. Sure enough, after memorizing the contents of the first page, he could easily turn to the second page.
A day passed by quickly, and with Ning Cheng turning a page every few seconds, he had no idea how many pages he had read and how many starry sky materials he had memorized. However, the thick book seemed to have only turned a few pages.
One month, two months later, Ning Cheng still kept reading the book. His stubborn temper flared up, and he would not give up until he finished reading the book.
The third month passed by, and when Ning Cheng turned the last page, he knew very well that the value of this book was more than just one starry sky Grade 9 material. In fact, it might even be worth more than ten. How could this Zhongli Baichi be so good? How could he give him such a good thing?
Ning Cheng thought about it for a long time but could not figure out what was going on. He simply did not bother to think about it and took out the leather scroll.
Just as he took out the leather scroll, all kinds of images once again filled Ning Cheng's mind and appeared in front of him. Previously, he had only seen Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting Technique once. But at this time, Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting Technique unexpectedly broke down in these images and became extremely clear.
As Ning Cheng immersed himself in these images, the Artefact-crafting Technique evolved from the leather scroll gradually blurred, and a new concept of Artefact-crafting Dao emerged in Ning Cheng's mind. The images in the leather scroll combined with these Artefact-crafting Concepts, causing Ning Cheng to involuntarily take out the materials and start crafting.
He brought out the Celestial River Flame, and the pile of materials transformed within the flame before easily transforming into low-grade True Artefacts.
From low-grade True Artefacts to top-grade True Artefacts, it felt like a natural evolution. When the True Artefacts in Ning Cheng's hands transformed into top-grade True Artefacts, he immediately threw them aside. As the higher-grade materials fell into his hands, he melted them down, transformed them, and then carved out array formations.
As the materials in Ning Cheng's ring continued to decrease, more and more Dao Artefacts appeared in front of him. Although all of them were low-grade Dao Artefacts, the quality of each one was obviously better than the previous one.
"Ding Dang …." Ning Cheng threw another low-grade Dao Artefact long spear to the ground. He grabbed his hair and muttered to himself, "Why can't I craft a middle-grade Dao Artefact?"
"Because you do not have a Dao. If not for Returning to One, you would never be able to craft a low-grade Dao Artefact." A sudden voice appeared in Ning Cheng's ears.
"Who is it?" Ning Cheng suddenly looked up and saw Zhongli Baichi sitting across from him. He immediately stood up in shock, "Senior Zhongli, how did you come in?"
Zhongli Baichi showed a smile, one big and one small pair of eyes flashing, "Little fellow, if I wanted to harm you, I would have killed a hundred of you."
Ning Cheng sat down in disappointment. Although Zhongli Baichi's words were not pleasant to hear, it was the truth. It would have been easy for the other party to kill him.
"May I ask why senior has come to this junior?" Ning Cheng spoke with some helplessness.
"You have a good flame, good luck, and even better qualifications than I have ever seen. Unfortunately, you did not meet a famous teacher. What a waste, what a waste. You see, you have only just worshipped me as your master, yet you can already craft low-grade Dao Artefacts. "Zhongli Baichi spoke while shaking his head.
Ning Cheng felt speechless in his heart. What did his ability to craft low-grade Dao Artefacts have to do with this Zhongli Baichi? It was because he saw Zhongli Baichi crafting artefacts, which allowed him to comprehend his own leather scroll. After coming back, he managed to advance by leaps and bounds. Well, one cannot say that it had nothing to do with Zhongli Baichi crafting artefacts. It was also because he saw Zhongli Baichi crafting artefacts that he understood the leather scroll.
"Where did you get this Returning to One?" Zhongli Baichi pointed to the leather scroll beside Ning Cheng and asked.
Ning Cheng picked up the leather scroll and looked at Zhongli Baichi in doubt, "Is this leather scroll called Returning to One?"
Zhongli Baichi raised his hand, and the leather scroll in Ning Cheng's hand fell into his hand, "Yes, this is Returning to One, all things returning to one."
"Is this leather scroll the Artefact-Crafting Secrets of Success?" Ning Cheng quickly asked.
Zhongli Baichi shook his head, "No, this is Returning to One. Whether it is the Artefact-crafting Dao or the Dao of Arrays, one can find enlightenment from it. Moreover, it is a supreme Spirit Technique. This Spirit Technique is called Returning to One. "
"Please enlighten me, senior." Ning Cheng spoke with a respectful tone.
Zhongli Baichi shook his head again, "If I could enlighten you, it would not be called Returning to One. Everyone's Returning to One is different, and it is the same for you. "
