After Zhong Li Bai Eats brought out the materials, Ning Cheng stopped talking, he only had this one chance.
A flame with a faint golden colour was suddenly offered out by Zhong Li Baiyao, and Ning Cheng immediately felt the star river in his purple mansion jump a little. What a powerful flame, he did not know this kind of flame, but this kind of flame was far more powerful than his river of stars.
The moment the star river jumped, Zhong Li Baiyao looked up at Ning Cheng, but he quickly focused all his attention on the material in his hand.
Several materials began to tremble as they were suspended in the midst of the flames, and then slowly dissolved away, with some impurities being directly turned into flying ash by the flames.
Zhong Li Baiyao’s hands were getting faster and faster, Ning Cheng’s vision was considered very strong, but he could not keep up with this rhythm of Zhong Li Baiyao. At this moment Ning Cheng was completely led into this rhythm, he subconsciously stretched out his divine sense and penetrated into this terrifying flame.
When Ning Cheng’s divine sense penetrated into the flames, Zhong Li Bai Eating was slightly shaken, and he even looked up at Ning Cheng in some disbelief. A mere star gathering cultivator without a star wheel could actually penetrate his divine sense into his flames?
At this moment Ning Cheng had completely forgotten that he was watching someone else refine a weapon, as scene after scene of images emerged in his mind, one connected gesture after another.
Even though Zhong Li Bai Eating’s hands were getting faster and faster, the images in Ning Cheng’s mind were becoming clearer and clearer. He saw the materials fusing layer after layer, then being pulled apart again, and then fusing again. One after another, the shapes of the magic treasures surfaced in his consciousness, and he caught every single change in every single place of these treasures.
At this time something seemed to be opened up in his consciousness, an ancient and vicissitudes leather scroll. He saw the irrelevant words in the scroll. Then saw these words in the leather scroll and the refining gestures Zhong Li Bai ate fuse together. It formed one image after another.
It was a sword weapon. With a ten-thousand-foot blade cutting through the sky, the blade weapon directly split an immense and incomparable peak in half. The long blade then transformed into a square seal, and this huge square seal fell down, directly turning the two halves of the mountain peak into pieces ……
Endless and endless images kept flashing, seemingly just to serve the last one.
The images were dense and rotating, and at this moment Ning Cheng was completely immersed in them.
With a crunching sound of “Cang”, Ning Cheng snapped out of this immersion. He was shocked, not just by Zhong Li Baiyao’s level of refinement. He also saw something familiar in Zhong Li Baiyao’s refining technique. It was the leather scroll he had on him, the one he had taken from Kang Cheng. He had looked at it several times since then, and each time it was some dense picture.
Although he had also comprehended some gong methods from it, though there was nothing very powerful in it. And today, when he saw Zhong Li Bai eating a smith’s tool, he surprisingly had a kind of enlightenment. If he hadn’t been in this place, he would have taken out that leather scroll long ago.
Seeing a long hook hovering in front of Zhong Li Baiyao, Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart at how quickly it had passed. It was as if he had just gained enlightenment when Zhong Li Baiyao’s long hook had already been refined, and he did not see the final formation of the long hook. Seeing Zhong Li Baiyao staring at him, Ning Cheng said with a fist clasp without being condescending. “Thank you senior Zhong Li for allowing me to watch the refining once, junior bids farewell.”
After saying this Ning Cheng immediately stood up. Turning around, he walked down the stairs. When Senior Sister Yan saw Ning Cheng leave first, she hurriedly followed him.
This time Ning Cheng had gained a lot, he was not in the mood to stay here, he had to go back and close his door to enlighten himself on the Dao of Weapons.
Zhong Li Bai Eating did not say anything, he just looked at Ning Cheng’s disappearing back and frowned in deep thought.
“Senior Sister Yan, thank you very much, farewell.” Ning Cheng walked to the entrance of the Weaponry Refining Shop and turned back to say a polite sentence.
Senior Sister Yan was just about to speak when she suddenly gave a slight shudder and then said, “Senior Brother Wanderer, wait for a moment.”
After saying that, she quickly retreated back to the shop, and a moment later, Senior Sister Yan held a thick book in her hand and handed it to Ning Cheng, saying, “Senior Brother, this is a book on the Basics of Alchemy, Master told me to bring it to you.”
There were still such things these days? Why wasn’t it a jade slip? Ning Cheng took the book and thanked it and asked, “Senior Sister Yan, does every disciple who worships the master have a book like this?”
Senior Sister Yan smiled faintly and did not reply to Ning Cheng’s words, only saying goodbye and hitting the ban on the entrance.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept the book in his hand, and then discovered to his amazement that this book could not be swept in by his divine sense at all. There were too many cultivators coming and going on the main street, so Ning Cheng did not continue to check it out, and after throwing the book into his ring, he quickly left this smith shop.
……
Star Rainbow Rest Inn, this was just a very inconspicuous small rest inn in Zuotian Starry Sky City. There were thousands of such rest inns in Zuotian Starry Sky City, it was simply impossible to count them all.
The reason why Ning Cheng found this rest inn was because it was relatively remote and the prices were very cheap. It was definitely not a matter of a day or two for him to learn how to refine weapons. In a place like Zu Tian Starry Sky City, star coins were very poorly spent.
After rearranging his room with a stack of formations, the first thing Ning Cheng did was to take out the book that Zhong Li Bai had given him.
Flipping through the first page, Ning Cheng saw a wide variety of materials described in unparalleled detail. Not only were there shapes, scents, characteristics and so on, but there were also the main functions.
What a good thing, Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised. If this book was all about the various material descriptions, he would be willing to trade it back even if he had to trade a single Starry Sky Grade 9 smithing material alone.
But Ning Cheng soon felt that something was wrong, he could not turn the second page, and his divine sense could not penetrate into the second page either. Not to mention that his divine sense could not penetrate the second page, even if it was the first page, he could only read it with his eyes and could not sweep through it with his divine sense.
This was a book that could only be read with the eyes and could not be swept through with divine sense? Ning Cheng’s powerful memory came into play at this time, and he quickly memorised the contents of the first page completely. Sure enough, as he remembered the contents of the first page, he easily turned to the second page.
The day passed quickly, and at the speed at which Ning Cheng turned over a page every few seconds, he had no idea how many pages he had read and how many starry sky materials he had memorised. But the thick book still seemed to have only turned over a few pages.
A month, two months had passed and Ning Cheng was still reading the book. His stubborn temper came out and he would never stop until he had finished reading this book.
As the third month passed, when Ning Cheng turned the last page, he was already very clear in his heart that the value of this book was definitely more than one Starry Sky Grade 9 material, even if it was ten, I was afraid it would be more than that. How could this Zhong Li Bai eat so well? Taking out such goodies for him?
Ning Cheng thought about it for half a day but could not figure out what was going on, so he simply did not bother to think about it anymore and took out the leather scroll directly.
As soon as the skin scroll was taken out, all sorts of images filled Ning Cheng’s mind once again, appearing before his eyes. He had only looked at Zhong Li Baiyao’s refining techniques once before, but at this time, Zhong Li Baiyao’s refining techniques were actually broken down on these images with unparalleled clarity.
As Ning Cheng immersed himself in such images, the refining techniques evolved from the leather scroll gradually blurred, and then a new concept of the Dao of Weapons emerged in Ning Cheng’s mind. The combination of the diagram in the leather scroll and these weapon refining concepts caused Ning Cheng to involuntarily take out the materials and start refining.
The Star River Flame was sacrificed by him, and a pile of materials transformed in the flame before easily turning into a lower grade true weapon.
It was like a very natural evolution from a lower grade True Weapon to a very high grade True Weapon. When the True Weapons in Ning Cheng’s hands turned into Extreme Grade True Weapons, they were all cast aside by him. Higher grade materials fell into his hands before they were melted, transformed and engraved with formations again.
The materials in Ning Cheng’s ring continued to decrease, and there were more and more Dao weapons in front of him, and although all of them were lower grade Dao weapons, the quality was clearly better than one another.
“Ding dang ……” Another lower grade Dao weapon lance was thrown to the ground by Ning Cheng, he scratched his hair and said to himself, “Why can’t I refine a middle grade Dao weapon?”
“It’s because you don’t have a Dao yet, if it wasn’t for Return to One, you definitely wouldn’t be able to refine a lower grade Dao weapon.” An abrupt voice appeared in Ning Cheng’s ears.
“Who is it?” Ning Cheng suddenly looked up and surprisingly saw Zhong Li Bai Eating sitting right across from him. He stood up in shock, “Senior Zhong Li, how did you get in?”
Zhong Li Bai Eating smiled heatedly, and his two large and small eyes were even more twinkling, “Little fellow, if I were to turn against you, a hundred of you would have been killed by me.”
Ning Cheng sat down in dismay, what Zhong Li Bai Eating said was bad, but it was the truth, it was really easy for the other party to kill him.
“May I ask senior what instruction he has come here to teach the late senior.” Ning Cheng said somewhat helplessly.
“Your flame is good, your encounter is also good, and your qualifications are even more impressive than I have ever seen, it’s a pity that you haven’t met a famous teacher. It’s a waste, it’s really too much of a waste. Look, you’ve only just taken me as your master, and now you can refine lower grade dao weapons.” Zhong Li Bai Eats said as he shook his head in disbelief.
Ning Cheng was speechless in his heart, what did his ability to refine lower grade dao weapons have to do with this Zhong Li Bai Eating? It was because he had seen Zhong Li Bai Eating refine a weapon and then understood his own skin scroll that he had come back and advanced a thousand miles a day. The fact that he watched Zhong Li Bai Eating refine his weapon before he understood the skin scroll is also a little bit related.
“Where did you get the Return to One?” Zhong Li Bai Eating asked, pointing at the leather scroll beside Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng picked up the leather scroll and looked at Zhong Li Baiyao suspiciously, “This leather scroll is called Gui Yi?”
Zhong Li Baiyao raised his hand and the leather scroll in Ning Cheng’s hand fell into his hand, “Not bad, this is Return to One, everything is Return to One.”
“This leather scroll is the key to refining weapons?” Ning Cheng asked in a hurry.
Zhong Li Bai Eats shook his head, “No, this is the Return to One, no matter if it is the Dao of Weapons, the Dao of Formation, etc. one can find enlightenment in it. Moreover, this is a supreme divine ability, and this divine ability is called Return to One.”
“Please teach me, senior.” Ning Cheng said respectfully.
Zhong Li Bai Eats shook his head once again, “If I could bestow teachings, this would not be called Return to One. Everyone’s ascribed one is different, and so are you.”
