Chapter 371: Five Elements Body Forging Decision |
“Do you want to learn this?” First Clone asked with a smile. At his level, he could forge an artifact even if he just used a rock to hammer on some scrap iron.
“Senior, did you really smash it out with an iron hammer?” The youth exclaimed in shock, as he had unsuccessfully tried to do the same with an iron hammer.
“If I didn’t have an iron hammer, I could still slap it out with my hands,” First Clone said with a laugh, finding the youth’s reaction amusing.
“Do you want to learn it?”
Understanding the implication, the young man immediately knelt to ask for mentorship but was pulled back up again.
“I don’t intend to take a disciple. Since you’ve grown up here, you must know a lot about the local delicacies,” First Clone said.
“How about if you treat me to a meal, I’ll teach you for one hour,” First Clone suggested, feeling he had ample time now to do something interesting.
“Understood,” The youth quickly dashed out and returned to the refining shop shortly after with two large sea bowls of food.
“Fragrant pork knuckle rice, one spiritual stone per bowl. I hope you won’t mind, senior,” the young man said shyly.
“Senior, I’m going to check on my little sister,” the youth said as he took the other bowl and walked towards the backyard.
Watching the youth’s back, and holding the sea bowl of fragrant pork knuckle rice, First Clone created a pair of chopsticks from a nearby piece of spirit iron and added a cleansing rune to them.
Not using chopsticks when eating would be foolish.
At this moment, the young man returned with a pair of chopsticks and said awkwardly, “Senior, I forgot to bring chopsticks in my excitement.”
“No need, I have some,” First Clone stated indifferently.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I have only two spirit stones left,” the youth replied with a bitter expression.
“So you plan to learn my incredible skill within an hour,” First Clone laughed.
“I’d like to try,” the youth said firmly, as this was his only hope.
“Well, I’m not eating your food for free,” First Clone gently tapped the youth, taking control of his body.
With his consciousness still awake, the youth felt as if he were being controlled as he took out a piece of red-hot spirit iron from the furnace and started hammering it.
“Don’t resist. Feel the flow of your spiritual power and the arrangement of the runes,” First Clone instructed before leaving the refining shop.
The opportunity had been given; it was now up to the youth to learn it or not.
Just as First Clone left the blacksmith’s shop, the youth’s voice came from behind.
“Senior, my name is Er Tie. When you come back next time, I’ll treat you to a Wealthy Spirit Chicken!”
As the youth finished speaking, the sound of hammering resumed in the blacksmith’s shop.
“Interesting,” First Clone laughed.
At the Refining Palace, First Clone was welcomed by the alchemy shopkeeper.
“Brother, I have some insights on the Immortal Rune Array you mentioned.” The shopkeeper of the Refining Palace said.
“Brother, let’s explore it thoroughly,” First Clone replied.
The two of them entered the Refining Palace.
At this moment, in a small courtyard in Volcanic Mountain Immortal Town, Ye Xiaoyao was sorting out the information about the Alchemy Shopkeeper.
“Xiaoyao, the alchemy shopkeeper definitely has a few immortal tools,” Old Jian said in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
“Just follow my instructions,” Ye Xiaoyao replied.
As Ye Xiaoyao put the information together, it seemed like the alchemy shopkeeper wanted to walk down his own path as an Artifact Refining Grandmaster.
“What’s the plan?” Ye Xiaoyao asked.
“Just administer the right remedy,” Old Jian gritted his teeth in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind, looking like a father who was going to pay a down payment for his son’s house.
“Do you have a plan?” Ye Xiaoyao asked. As soon as Old Jian asked him to collect the alchemy shopkeeper’s information, he knew it wouldn’t be ordinary.
“I once extracted the soul of an Immortal Artifact Refining Master, I copied the memories of that Master from before he became a Grandmaster.”
“Then just find a way to meet the Alchemy Hall Master and give him the copied memories of the Grandmaster.” Old Jian planned in Ye Xiaoyao’s heart.
“No way, another fake.” Ye Xiaoyao cried out, remembering the previous failed experience vividly.
“What do you mean fake? The memories are real, isn’t that enough?” Old Jian said disdainfully in Ye Xiaoyao’s heart.
I even care more about you now than my own son.
“Alright then.” Ye Xiaoyao went to various large business associations again to purchase some things.
At this time, the two people in the Alchemy Hall were getting more and more excited as they chatted.
The soaring will of the Alchemy Hall Master could burn the entire Volcanic Mountain Immortal Town.
“Brother, I’m grateful. I now have a direction for the future.”
“You are my great benefactor.”
The Alchemy Hall Master took out the Ten Thousand Sword Array Immortal Artifact and wanted to give it to First Clone.
“Don’t bother brother, keep it for your protection or give it to someone fated in the future, I don’t need this thing.” First Clone pushed it back again.
I’m just an avatar and I won’t be part of fighting and killing, so naturally, this thing is of no use.
Seeing that First Clone insisted on not accepting it, the Alchemy Hall Master gave up on this plan.
“If you need anything in the future, brother, just let me know.” The Alchemy Hall Master said, pounding his chest.
“No problem.”
On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was sitting on a sea cliff.
“I wonder how First Clone reacted to the message.” Xu Fan laughed.
At this moment, at the junction of the island and the Endless Sea below the cliff, a group of Tower Defense Branch disciples were assembling a large-scale defense tower.
Xu Fan was watching from above and suddenly felt that the sect no longer needed his intervention.
Although the strength of the sect disciples was still low, it was beginning to show, and he could imagine the scene when their cultivation level would be higher.
“Greetings to the great elder.” The disciples assembling the defense tower quickly saluted Xu Fan as they saw him.
“No need for formalities, continue working.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
At this moment, a beam of light flew in and Xiong Li appeared behind Xu Fan.
“Greetings to the Great Elder.” Xiong Li said respectfully.
“Mhm, get up.” Xu Fan nodded and motioned Xiong Li to find a place to sit.
“You’ll be breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage soon, right?” Xu Fan asked.
“It’ll take less than half a year.” Xiong Li said in his deep voice, with a simple and honest expression.
“Mhm, as the Senior Brother of Hidden Spirit Sect, we will have to rely on you in the future, so I’ll strengthen your cultivation technique a bit.” Xu Fan handed a Jade Disc to Xiong Li.
“This is an enhanced version of the Five Elements Body Forging Decision, also known as War Body of Ten Thousand Gods.” Xu Fan said.
“War Body of Ten Thousand Gods, this name ”
“Is it very domineering? Good techniques should have good names.” Xu Fan laughed.
“Once you go back and gain some insights and practice, you will know that this technique is definitely worthy of that name.”
“Thank you, Great Elder, for granting the technique.” Xiong Li said gratefully.
“Just work hard for the sect in the future.” Xu Fan said, taking a moment to add that he had devised this technique on a whim. All the sect’s fundamental techniques had been updated, except for Xiong Li’s version of the Five Elements Body Forging Decision.
“Great Elder, then what is the name of our sect’s Five Elements Decision?”
“Dao Skill Origin.”
Apparently, the previous name was too modest.
