The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Becoming a blacksmith at the Divine Craftsman's Shop, with the support of the entire Ma family, had an impact on Zhang Lingfeng far beyond his imagination.

The Divine Blade Sect not only returned the Divine Stone to the Ou family, but also returned all the fees they had collected over the past few years to the Ou family.

Hundreds of sacred stones every year.

Over several decades, thousands of divine stones have been collected, which represents a huge sum of money for the Ou family.

Master Ou understands human relationships and social dynamics.

After the Divine Blade Sect returned these sacred stones, he immediately sent them to Zhang Lingfeng. Master Ou knew that Zhang Lingfeng was now the backer of the Ou family, and this living Buddha had to be served well.

If he swallows this divine stone, then the Ou family and Zhang Lingfeng will have no further connection.

"If it weren't for my master taking me in, I wouldn't have had a place to stay in Baidi City at first. This divine stone..."

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the stones and saw that there were more than six thousand of them. The Ou family alone had provided so many divine stones for the Divine Blade Sect. One could only imagine how many divine stones the entire Divine Blade Sect had collected over the years.

Of course, some of these divine stones were probably sent by the Divine Blade Sect.

The goal was to ease tensions with him.

“Master Zhang, without you, there would be no such batch of divine stones. They should have belonged to you.”

"That's what Master Ou said."

"That's right, if we swallow these divine stones, would we still be human?"

Ou Jinhao echoed this sentiment.

Normally, he just couldn't stand Zhang Lingfeng's lazy lifestyle. He wasn't a spoiled brat, but a second-generation entrepreneur who spent his days following Old Ou around, helping him with all sorts of things.

"Please accept it."

Old Ou pushed the divine stone to Zhang Lingfeng.

"it is good."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't accept it, the Ou family might worry that he would abandon them.

No wonder, since he is now a blacksmith at the Divine Craftsman's Shop, in the eyes of outsiders, he belongs to the Ma family, not the Ou family. He can only rely on the Ou family's protection by frequently returning to visit them.

"I'll stay here for today and return to Shenjiangpu tomorrow."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"Stay as long as you want, the room has already been prepared for you."

"I'm so excited," said Mr. Ou.

"Take these sacred stones and use them to buy some things. Tonight, I want to have a good drink with all the brothers in the courtyard."

Zhang Lingfeng took out two hundred divine stones and placed them on the table.

"Hahaha, that's excellent, hahaha!"

Old Ou laughed heartily.

This time, he didn't refuse.

After accepting the divine stone, they took Lao He and the others out to buy various foods. When they learned that Zhang Lingfeng was going to stay and was even personally spending the divine stone to treat everyone to a good meal that night, everyone was very happy.

Zhang Lingfeng then sat down and chatted with Master Ou.

He took the initiative to tell the story of how he found the Divine Craftsman's Shop, joined the Ma family, and became a blacksmith.

Ou Ye lamented the cruel twist of fate.

Who could imagine that someone whom Chen Fenfang deemed hopeless could become a blacksmith? I was very distressed. Although I hadn't said anything to Zhang Lingfeng at the time, I didn't want to see him for several days after learning of the result.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng didn't hold it against him.

Zhang Lingfeng then asked Master Ou about some things concerning the Divine Craftsman Shop.

Ma Street is named after the Ma family.

This clearly demonstrates the Ma family's status here.

Master Ou had dealt with the Ma family since he was a child, sometimes needing to help transport goods, and knew several of the Ma family's blacksmiths, especially Master Ma's forging skills.

A rare level four blacksmith in Baidi City.

He once forged divine artifacts for several high-ranking gods.

He's a legend in Ma Street.

When talking about the Divine Craftsman Shop and the past of Ma Street, Master Ou seemed to have returned to his youth, talking eloquently.

That evening, the Ou family hosted a banquet in the central courtyard. Zhang Lingfeng, Lao He, and Lao Wang sat together. Having suddenly become blacksmiths, and even blacksmiths at the Divine Craftsman Shop, Lao He and Lao Wang were initially a bit reserved. However, as they drank more and more wine, everyone seemed to have returned to the past.

They put their arms around each other's shoulders and made dirty jokes together.

Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content, getting completely drunk.

Zhang Lingfeng, who always wanted to practice lying down and doing nothing, naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity. He joined in the fun with everyone, and the entire central courtyard was filled with laughter. People seemed to have forgotten that Zhang Lingfeng had become a blacksmith, and everyone got completely drunk.

The next day, when Zhang Lingfeng left, he specially left five hundred divine stones for Lao He.

During his time at the Ou family's tenement, Old He took great care of him. Zhang Lingfeng could forget anyone but Old He, and he also told Old He that if he encountered any trouble, he should come to Shenjiang Shop to find him.

He would come back to drink with everyone when he had time.

"Master Zhang."

We returned to the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

Zhang Lingfeng then had to begin forging weapons.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first successfully master the basic forging technique.

Lying flat value: 688
Super Armor: (35.2/100)

Divine Power: 365.7
Soul: 40933
Basic Forging Method; (1/600)

Soul Evolution: (2/100)

Ability: All-weather Soul Essence Evolution Ability

Realm: Level 4 True God, Blacksmith
After getting completely drunk one night, Zhang Lingfeng embraced the "lying down" philosophy to the fullest, dragging a group of people along to sing and dance with him. He earned over 600 "lying down" points.

Unfortunately, the all-weather soul essence evolution ability only increased the soul evolution value by one point after several days.

Zhang Lingfeng had a premonition.

To become a so-called Divine Inscription Master.

Only after the soul has evolved to 100% can it undergo a complete transformation.

Fortunately, this ability allows the soul to evolve every day, although the progress is relatively slow, and it does not require deliberate cultivation.

It's a pity that this ability can only be developed by oneself; it cannot be increased by adding "lying down value" to accelerate its growth.

Looking at the more than 600 lying-down points, Zhang Lingfeng added them to the basic forging method.

To become a blacksmith.

First, one must master the basic blacksmithing skill in order to utilize it and forge divine weapons using the power of the soul.

Lying flat value: None

Basic Forging Method: (2/100)

The panel has changed.

The 600+ lying-flat value only increased the value of the basic forging method by one value.

It seems that at least 400 "lying down" values ​​are needed to improve a value, or even more. We'll have to wait and see how many "lying down" values ​​are needed to improve a value.

Fortunately, the Ma family gave Zhang Lingfeng ample time to first practice the basic forging method, without requiring him to become a blacksmith capable of forging weapons in a short period of time.

Just as Zhang Lingfeng was "practicing" the basic forging method in his own forging room, Young Master Ma also came to Chen Fenfang with gifts.

Chen Fenfang is a divine inscription master, and also a relatively rare female divine inscription master in Baidi City.

As the most powerful family in Ma Street, many of the blacksmiths in the family achieved success only after being trained by Chen Fenfang. Therefore, Ma Fei would come to visit Chen Fenfang every now and then.

"Greetings, Young Master Ma."

"Ah."

When the horse flew over.

People from the Divine Blade Sect also came to present gifts. When they met Ma Fei at the door, they hurriedly nodded and bowed. Ma Fei only responded with a faint word.

The Ma family didn't take these violent gangs seriously at all.

In Ma Fei's eyes, the most important thing is to get along well with divine inscription masters or high-ranking gods.

Of course, Ma Fei's goal was also to find ways to train more blacksmiths so that the Ma family could forge unique divine weapons.

"Master Chen, Young Master Ma has arrived."

Chen Fenfang's maidservant reported this.

“Tell him to wait a moment,” Chen Fenfang said.

He was then baptized by a Soul Master.

The main income of a Divine Inscription Master comes from performing baptisms for others. However, Divine Inscription Masters also have high expenses, as they need to purchase expensive Divine Stones to strengthen their Divine Inscriptions.

At the same time, continuous learning is also necessary.

Ensure that your level of understanding continues to grow.

These resources can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of divine stones.

About 15 minutes.

Chen Fenfang has completed the baptism, and the other party's soul essence shows signs of transformation. This is what she is most happy to see. Only when more and more people successfully undergo baptism with her will her reputation become more and more renowned.

That's why more people will seek her out for baptism.

She asked the other Soul Masters to wait a moment, and then came to see Ma Fei.

"Nephew, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Chen Fenfang smiled.

Ma Fei is not only a god, but also a blacksmith. Even if he is only at the first or second level, he is still incomparable to other Soul Masters.

Moreover, Ma Fei's father is a level four blacksmith who can forge divine weapons for high-ranking gods, so Chen Fenfang dared not be negligent.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Auntie."

Ma Fei stood up and said.

Chen Fenfang saw the gifts on the side and smiled, "I've said it many times over the years, there's no need to send gifts. Even if you do send gifts, you don't need to make the trip yourself. I'll visit your Shenjiang Shop when I have time, or when your father comes back."

"The main reason I've come to bother you this time is to thank you for giving our Divine Craftsman Shop another blacksmith."

Ma Fei explained.

"Oh?"

Chen Fenfang frowned.

She has a close relationship with the Ma family.

He became sworn brothers with Ma Fei's father, Ma Dashuai.

Normally, if a Soul Master has undergone her baptism and their soul has successfully transformed, she will recommend them to the Ma Family Divine Craftsman Shop.

At the same time, the Ma family will also recommend some Soul Masters to come and have them baptized by Chen Fenfang.

Over time, the relationship between the Ma family and Chen Fenfang grew closer.

They often visit each other.

However, it is rare for a Soul Master to successfully transform their soul through baptism and eventually become a Blacksmith; sometimes, one such person may only be seen every few months.

Chen Fenfang remembered that recently, no Soul Master had gained soul power after receiving baptism from her.

"Aunt, have you forgotten that this blacksmith is named Zhang Lingfeng and is from the Ou family's fleet?"

Ma Fei reminded him.

"what?"

Chen Fenfang was initially pondering, but upon hearing the man's name was Zhang Lingfeng, her expression instantly tightened, and she said somewhat angrily, "Nephew, are you perhaps making fun of me?"

"Why do you say that, Aunt?"

Ma Fei felt apprehensive and confused.

"Hmph, I once asserted that Zhang Lingfeng was utterly hopeless and would never become a blacksmith. And now you're telling me he's a blacksmith from your Ma family?"

Chen Fenfang said angrily.

"Ah, this, I've never heard of this before, Aunt, it's a misunderstanding!"

Ma Fei was taken aback and quickly explained.

"Fine, I know you wouldn't dare to mess with me, but Zhang Lingfeng can't possibly become a blacksmith, don't be fooled by him."

Chen Fenfang reminded her.

“This… Aunt, I personally witnessed Zhang Lingfeng master the power of the soul, and he also said that he was able to become a blacksmith because he received your baptism, which is why I signed a contract with him.”

Ma Fei explained.

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, showing Chen Fenfang the divine mark of the contract between him and Zhang Lingfeng on his wrist.

As a divine rune master, Chen Fenfang naturally knew the importance and significance of this divine rune.

She grabbed Ma Fei's wrist, somewhat angrily saying, "You, Zhang Lingfeng, how dare you try to deceive my nephew! Where is he now?"

"It's right here at the Divine Craftsman's Shop."

Ma Feidao.

"Take me to him."

Chen Fenfang still didn't believe that Zhang Lingfeng could become a blacksmith; she was sure he had used some kind of trick to deceive Ma Fei.

I must make Zhang Lingfeng reveal his true colors.

The divine runes can bind the two people.

However, if Zhang Lingfeng dares to deceive Ma Fei in the contract, he will be severely punished. As a member of the Divine Inscription Master Guild, Chen Fenfang can deal with Zhang Lingfeng.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng was using her name to do his work.

This matter can be big or small, but it cannot be easily dismissed.

"Okay, please come with me."

Seeing Chen Fenfang so excited, Ma Fei couldn't help but wonder if he had been deceived by Zhang Lingfeng, or if Zhang Lingfeng's soul was fake.

He had never seen Chen Fenfang so angry before.

They immediately boarded an airship and took Chen Fenfang back to the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

Although the Ma family cannot be compared with the Li and Bai families of Baidi City, they are still a powerful and noble family that should not be underestimated. The airship that Ma Fei was riding was personally built by their Divine Craftsman Shop.

Chen Fenfang also has her own private airship.

It was personally crafted by General Ma and given to Chen Fenfang.

The workshop was bustling with activity.

Several blacksmiths, along with a group of assistants, are building an airship. This airship was ordered by a young master of the Li family and is to be completed within five years.

The airship is now four-fifths complete.

The subsequent renovation and decoration work is underway.

“Hey, Master Chen.”

A sharp-eyed blacksmith, seeing Chen Fenfang descend from the airship, hurriedly greeted her.

"Master Chen."

……

The other blacksmiths also quickly called out.

They joined the Divine Craftsman's Shop because they had been baptized by Chen Fenfang.

I am very grateful to Chen Fenfang.

"You guys go ahead with your work, I have some things to take care of, I'll come see you later."

Chen Fenfang smiled.

"okay."

……

Several blacksmiths nodded happily.

Chen Fenfang quickly stepped forward, and Ma Fei led her into Zhang Lingfeng's forging room.

Clang!

Zhang Lingfeng is holding an iron hammer and is hammering a piece of divine iron.

The divine soul power within him was released according to the basic forging method, and poured into the divine iron again and again, shaping the divine iron into the form he had imagined.

Zhang Lingfeng had no solution.

Lying in the forge all day doing nothing would be annoying, so he could only make some noise. Then he came up with an idea.

Instead of forging divine weapons, he crafted a pipe for himself.

Since blacksmiths can forge even airships, it's normal for them to forge a pipe for their own use. Since they've just become blacksmiths, they can use the excuse of saving materials to cover it up.
