Chapter Fifteen: The Secret of Pregnancy
One sentence made this ironworker from Stone City so impressed, and there are really not many people in the world who can do it. Ou Jiangzi has been immersed in refining equipment for over 30 years, and now he is over 40 years old, spending his most precious time on refining equipment.
Although he was also a cultivator, he had his own temper and no one would dare to offend an alchemy master. In the world, Ou Jiangzi might not be among the top iron smiths, but he could still rank within the top hundred.
How many alchemists are there in the world? Countless! Being able to enter the top one hundred, Ou Yezi also has the capital to be proud of!
"I'm just a loose cultivator, I've studied alchemy for a period of time and have gained some insights." Jiang Xiaoyu smiled.
Qin Feng on the side was somewhat puzzled, when did Master also have insights in refining equipment? Could it be that Master is a legendary all-around talent? It's worth noting that some powerful individuals find it difficult to make progress on their original cultivation path, so they go on to study other paths, such as equipment refinement, alchemy, and the like.
In his heart, Qin Feng's admiration for his master soared once again.
The other party said that there was a bit of insight, but in Ou Jiangzi's ears, it was Jiang Xiaoyu's humble words. That sentence alone revealed Jiang Xiaoyu's extraordinary achievements in refining equipment. Even the number one divine craftsman in the world would not be able to say such things. So he savored it three times before understanding the underlying principles.
"Senior, you didn't come here just to buy something this time, did you?" Ou Jiangzi asked uncertainly.
As a master craftsman, he might even be a reclusive master craftsman who has hidden himself from the world. Coming to this broken iron shop is definitely not for buying things. If he wants divine weapons, can't he forge them himself? How could he possibly look down on these mundane objects of mine?
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled lightly, with a profound gaze at Ou Jiangzi, with an expression that seemed to say "this child is teachable". As for Ou Jiangzi, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, but instead had a hint of excitement.
After a pause, Jiang Xiaoyu said: "I just left the mountain this time and plan to travel all over the world. After arriving in Shicheng, I suddenly wanted to find an apprentice for refining equipment on this side."
Ou Xiangzi's tiger body shook, he took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. If, if such a senior were to take him as an apprentice, then he would go even further on the path of alchemy!
Thinking of this, Ou Jiangzi hastily said: "I don't know if Senior has found a suitable candidate or not?"
"Originally, there wasn't any, but now..." Jiang Xiaoyu intentionally paused for dramatic effect, and under Ou Qiangzi's expectant gaze, he slowly continued: "Although your work has some issues, it can't hide your innate talent in the field of artifact refinement. If you cultivate my artifact refinement method, I'm sure you won't disappoint this divine technique."
Ou Yangzi's heart was even more excited, his body trembling all over, and he unconsciously bent down a few more times.
Looking at the other person's expression, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and he didn't believe that this old man wouldn't take the bait. The previous sentence was something he saw in the Taichi Classics, and since it appeared so many times, he memorized it unintentionally.
It seems that the skill I'm promoting is indeed very powerful! Originally, this proud blacksmith was like this. However, when he first saw the "Fetal Breathing Technique", he was also depressed. He didn't expect that there would be such a skill in the system, so he would occasionally take a look at it when he had nothing to do.
"I, I will never tarnish the reputation of my predecessors' divine law!" As for other aspects, Ou Jiangzi asked himself that he didn't have any great achievements, but in terms of refining equipment... he had absolute confidence!
With a incomplete handed-down smelting technique, he forcibly entered the top hundred of the world's smelting masters, which is enough to show his innate talent.
"Still calling me senior?" Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to be displeased.
"Disciple Ou Jiangzi, paying respects to Master!" Ou Jiangzi hastily came back to his senses, knelt down on the ground and heavily knocked his head three times.
"Hurry up and get up." Jiang Xiao Yu hastily helped the other party up, but didn't expect their reaction to be so huge!
After helping him up, Jiang Xiaoyu took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Ou Zhangzi. He then said: "As the saying goes, 'the master leads you into the door, but cultivation depends on the individual.' As a master traveling around the world, I don't have much time to teach you anything. This 'Taiji Classic' is indeed my heart's blood work, you can take a look."
Qin Feng's eyes widened suddenly, staring fixedly at the opening of his master's robe. Every time his master took something out, it would come from inside, could it be that his master's robe was actually a legendary乾坤袋 (cosmic bag), with a separate space inside that could hold objects?
At first, Ou Jiangzi was slightly disappointed when he heard the beginning of Jiang Xiaoyu's words, but after hearing the back, he opened up the Taixi formula and was immediately attracted by the contents inside!
Divine law! It's indeed divine law! Ou Jiangzi was excited for a moment, this divine law combines the refinement of equipment and cultivation perfectly, the general idea is that refining equipment is also a kind of cultivation! Since he cultivated to the ninth heaven of Qihai, he hasn't gone back to cultivate much, but instead focused on the path of refining equipment.
Without cultivation, one's lifespan is ultimately limited, and some methods of refining instruments cannot be implemented! If both advance simultaneously, with a divided mind, few people can achieve great accomplishments.
But now, the book sent by my newly worshiped master has actually combined cultivation and alchemy together! Cultivation and alchemy are not separate from each other! The so-called fetal transformation is to form vessels with Qi, to give birth to vessels with Qi. This is absolutely a supreme divine method. If placed in the alchemy world, it will definitely stir up a bloody storm!
"Master, this is, this is, this is too precious!" Ou Jiangzi hesitated, unsure whether to accept it.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, "I don't have time to teach you, so I can only pass on the divine method to you and let you understand it yourself. If you don't even want this, then I'm afraid I'm not doing my job as a master. Just take it with peace of mind and cultivate it with confidence. I have only one wish: in the future, will you be confident at the pinnacle of alchemy masters in the world?"
"Got it!" Ou Yezi blurted out. The pinnacle of artifact refinement, just thinking about it gets people excited! Originally, Ou Yezi didn't have such a grand pursuit, but now that he's obtained this artifact manual, who knows what opportunities might arise.
Satisfied, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "You are the third person to enter our sect. You will be Third Brother. This is your Eldest Senior Brother Qin Feng!"
"Junior brother!" Qin Feng cupped his hands and said.
"Long time no see, Senior Brother!" Ou Jiangzi hastily returned a courtesy.
"You also have a second brother, who is now traveling the world. His name is Fang Hen, and if you meet him in the future, don't fail to recognize your own family member!" Jiang Xiaoyu was in high spirits and handed out another copy, jokingly.
Ou Yangzi smiled foolishly and didn't say much more about it.
Three days later, Ou Jiangzi left Shicheng. As he said before leaving, he had no use in Shicheng and went out to explore the world and practice his skills. He sold off the things in the blacksmith shop at a low price, but he did leave Qin Feng a good knife. Moreover, under Jiang Xiaoyu's hint, Ou Jiangzi left behind 10,000 spirit stones' worth of spirit tickets, as well as 100 scattered spirit stones.
"It feels great to have money!" Jiang Xiaoyu patted his own chest, where the 10,000 yuan spirit ticket was being kept.
With 10,000 spiritual stones as his foundation, his confidence also increased by several points, and he walked with a particularly strong momentum!
"Hint: Yun Xiu has been promoted, cultivated to Yun Teng realm, obtained cultivation, two promotion points."
In an instant, nine acupoints in Jiang Xiaoyu's body lit up again, and thirty acupoints emitted a dazzling light! The spiritual energy inside his body was abundant, and the feeling of being wrapped in spiritual energy was really great! The beauty of power comes from its strength, and Jiang Xiaoyu now feels that this is wonderful.
Yunxiu has already entered the Yun Tian realm, while Qin Feng is still wandering in the Qi Hai realm. However, Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't seem to be in a hurry either. Qin Feng was originally an existence from the 9th Heaven of Qi Hai, and he's also a disciple of the Imperial City, so it's natural that he has countless heavenly materials and treasures, and his cultivation is progressing quickly, which is understandable.
More than two months have passed, and I now have seven promotion points. There are still 93 points to go, and the road is still a bit far away. It's less than ten months' time, and time seems a bit tight...
However, Jiang Xiaoyu has also come to terms with it now. Life is fate, death is also fate. Having seen through this layer, he can live happily and enjoy life to the fullest. If he can be happy for a moment, then that's a moment, and that's good enough.
Found an inn, Qin Feng and Jiang Xiaoyu lived separately.
In the room, Qin Feng gently stroked his beloved sword, the Great Wind Sword! The more he looked at it, the more he loved it. However, as a senior brother, he had accepted a gift from his junior brother, and he would have to think of a way to return this favor in the future. Slowly putting down the Great Wind Sword, Qin Feng began to cultivate.
After drinking a cup of tea, Jiang Xiaoyu took a look at his Lingxi Yizhi and couldn't help but feel delighted. Now, regarding the Lingxi Yizhi, there was an additional introduction that it could be used to unleash a powerful attack once, or split into two attacks, although its power would be slightly weakened.
When used separately, the divine index can reach around 9,000 points. If a single attack is launched, it can explode with a power of 20,000 points! If other cultivators were to find out, they would definitely be shocked speechless.
A cultivator who has just opened up thirty acupoints can actually display his spiritual powers to twenty thousand points! It's worth noting that unless they are some talented cultivators in the initial stage, it is absolutely a difficult task for them to cultivate their spiritual powers.
Two days later, Jiang Xiaoyu was strolling in the city.
"Alas! This disciple, is really too diligent, has been in seclusion for two days, how boring!" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly. The disciple he was referring to was naturally Qin Feng, who was indeed as diligent as his name suggested.
However, he didn't idle away either, coming out for a stroll was to look for people who could be promoted, but these two days haven't encountered any.
Suddenly, he saw a group of generals wearing golden armor walking on both sides, with a horse-drawn carriage in the middle. He hastily stood aside, and the appearance of these people had already attracted the attention of many people in Stone City.
"Unexpectedly, the War King's son has also arrived! It seems that this time the rumors of the ancient ruins of Stone City being opened are mostly true!"
"After observing for a few more days, it will be clear whether it's true or not. If it is, then various geniuses from all over will definitely come one after another!"
The surrounding people's discussion suddenly sparked Jiang Xiaoyu's curiosity. What is this thing called Shicheng Ancient Ruins?
