The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Master Yang finally couldn't contain himself and brought Ma Fei over to check on Zhang Lingfeng's forging results.

Based on the lamb's feedback.

Master Yang and the others were certain that none of the items Zhang Lingfeng had forged during this period could improve his strength.

These are all daily necessities or entertainment items; it's a complete waste of cultivation resources. Ma Fei should see this clearly and get rid of Zhang Lingfeng as soon as possible.

"I'll open the door."

The lamb is very enthusiastic.

Master Yang, along with several other masters and Ma Fei, entered the forging workshop.

"Master Zhang, will this affect your forging work? Master Yang and the others are curious about why you've been forging all this time..."

Ma Fei explained with a smile.

Suddenly, he saw many things that had been successfully forged in the forge.

There are reclining chairs.

Bench.

bathtub.

Foot bath tray.

Massage chair.

Mahjong table.

Zhang Lingfeng was holding a cube in his hand, carving a small bird on it. Several other cubes around him had a large red Chinese character carved on them.

Ma Fei was stunned.

"Hey, Master Zhang, did you forge this? What's this chair for? Is it for sitting on to cultivate and increase your cultivation speed?"

When Master Wang saw the recliner, he lay down on it and laughed as he rocked back and forth.

"What's the purpose of such a large basin? Is it for holding water? Can drinking a few sips of water from here increase one's divine power?"

"That's what Master Liu said."

"What is this thing? There's a drawer on each side. Master Zhang is truly a master craftsman. Are these drawers for storing divine weapons or miraculous medicines?"

Another craftsman sat at the mahjong table and pulled out four drawers, saying...

“Master Zhang, could you explain to everyone that we can’t sense any divine power fluctuations on these things?”

Master Yang looked on with curiosity.

He found a bath brush, swung it around a few times, and poured his divine power into it, only to find that the divine power released from the brush was not amplified.

Ma Fei looked puzzled.

He wanted Zhang Lingfeng to explain to him.

"You're too kind, masters. These things aren't some kind of magical weapons; they're just everyday items that I need."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Household necessities?"

Everyone was stunned.

Master Yang almost burst out laughing.

He questioned, "Master Zhang, these things are all forged from priceless refining materials. The Divine Craftsman Shop supports you, yet you use these materials to create useless things. What are you trying to do?"

“Yes, it will come in handy. As I said, these are all personal household items that I use. This mahjong table can accommodate several people to play together. If you have time, you can come and play with us.”

Zhang Lingfeng said calmly.

"Are the things Master Zhang forged really just everyday items?"

Ma Fei asked.

"Yes, they are indeed some daily necessities, such as this pipe for smoking. If you want, I can forge a few for you."

Zhang Lingfeng stuffed tobacco into his pipe, lit it, and smoked it for everyone to see.

He looked completely at ease.

Everyone looked at Ma Fei, expecting him to explode, but Ma Fei held back and said, "I provided Master Zhang with the necessary refining materials in the hope that he could become a qualified blacksmith as soon as possible, not..."

"Thank you so much."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

Ma Fei was taken aback, not understanding what Zhang Lingfeng meant.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a blacksmith so easily."

As Zhang Lingfeng spoke, he added all the lying-down points to the basic forging method.

Lying flat value: None

Basic Forging Method: (17/600)

Realm: Level 1 Blacksmith
Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the exchange rate for the basic forging method was 600 lying flat points to one value.

To become a level 3 blacksmith with perfect skill, you need 60,000 "lying down" points.

Fortunately, forging fun items can also increase your forging skill stat.

If things continue to develop at this pace, and all the points I gain in the future are used on the basic forging method, it will probably take about three years for my forging skills to surpass Master Yang and become a top-level level three forging master.

As the value reached seventeen percent.

The term "Level 1 Blacksmith" has also appeared in the realm rankings.

It's no longer just about the three words "blacksmith".

Clang!

Zhang Lingfeng immediately brandished the iron hammer.

I smashed it onto the mahjong tiles, leaving a small bird's mark.

The power of the soul is stirred.

Following the first-level forging method, the power of the soul, like invisible flames and bayonets, is tempering the mahjong iron block.

By allowing divine power to be stored on the mahjong tiles, the released divine power can be amplified.

"This……"

Ma Fei was stunned.

As a first-class blacksmith and a powerful expert, how could he not see that Zhang Lingfeng had mastered the forging technique and become a qualified first-class blacksmith, capable of forging divine weapons for the Divine Craftsman Shop?

This gives ordinary iron blocks powerful destructive capabilities.

It should be noted that it took him more than ten years to transform his soul essence into a divine soul and then become a first-level blacksmith, all with the help of Commander Ma.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng became a qualified first-level blacksmith in just about three months.

It can imbue many ordinary refining materials with the magic power to amplify divine power.

Master Yang and the others standing nearby were also caught off guard.

I never imagined that Zhang Lingfeng had become a qualified blacksmith.

"Young Master Ma, please take a look."

The forging was completed shortly afterward.

Zhang Lingfeng handed the Little Bird Mahjong set to Ma Fei.

Ma Fei held the mahjong tile in his hand and tried to infuse it with divine power. He discovered that the divine power could be absorbed by the mahjong tile. If he threw the mahjong tile, its destructive power would be much greater than the divine power he had infused.

In a sense, this mahjong set in my hand already possesses the characteristics of a divine weapon.

He tried to infuse more divine power.

Gradually, the mahjong tiles began to twist.

It is indeed a divine weapon forged by a first-class blacksmith.

"Okay, great."

Ma Fei said excitedly.

"I create these everyday items simply to save on materials and quickly become a qualified blacksmith. I'm worried that rushing things might waste a lot of materials."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Haha, I misunderstood you. Don't worry, just tell me what materials you need, and if you want to make anything, just come and get it."

Ma Fei said excitedly.

With Zhang Lingfeng's talent, he might become a level three blacksmith in the near future, and might even bring a level four blacksmith to the Ma family again.

“When my father comes back, I will introduce you to him. He will definitely like you very much.”

Ma Fei laughed.

Master Yang's expression froze.

Is it possible that General Ma really intends to pass on his skills to Zhang Lingfeng?

The masters all frowned. If Zhang Lingfeng gained the favor of Commander Ma, would they have to switch sides and join Zhang Lingfeng's side, or at least stop opposing him?

"Alright."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

He was merely curious about Ma Dashuai, thinking that if Ma Dashuai played mahjong with him, he might gain more "lying down points," and that was all.

Master Yang, however, felt that Ma Fei wanted Ma Dashuai to pass on his skills to Zhang Lingfeng.

in the coming time.

Ma Fei stayed in the forging room, watching Zhang Lingfeng forge mahjong tiles, and took a mahjong manual from Xiao Hei. "I have a characteristic: I like to relax. If I'm always forging, my forging skills will actually be harder to improve."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Haha, that's for sure. My dad said that no matter what you do, you have to balance work and rest. It's really hard to make progress if you keep forging divine weapons. I'm sure Master Yang knows that he has been stuck at a bottleneck for many years."

Ma Fei said casually.

He didn't think too much about it.

Master Yang felt uneasy, realizing that Ma Fei had set him up.

It is now more certain that Ma Dashuai may have wanted to pass on his skills to Zhang Lingfeng, rather than him.

“Master Yang, you guys come and take a look too. This is a game invented by Master Zhang. If you have time, we can play it together.”

Ma Fei said.

"Eh!"

Master Yang and the others started looking at the mahjong manual together, but the more they looked, the more bored they became. Zhang Lingfeng had told them about this game before.

They don't like it.

But as Zhang Lingfeng gained Ma Fei's approval, and Ma Fei also learned about the gameplay, everyone began to take a closer look.

Master Yang felt increasingly uncomfortable the more he looked at it.

He would glare at the lamb every now and then.

I feel like I've been tricked by the little lamb.

How could Xiao Yang not know that Zhang Lingfeng had become a first-class blacksmith? Although Xiao Yang was not a blacksmith, the effect of the divine soul released by Zhang Lingfeng when he forged the mahjong tiles was something that Xiao Yang, who had been working as an assistant in the Divine Craftsman's Shop for so many years, could not possibly know.
Clang!

Zhang Lingfeng continued to forge mahjong tiles.

He wants to make two sets of mahjong tiles, a chessboard, and several sets of chess pieces to ensure he can play to his heart's content in the future.

Ding!

The hammer blows fell one after another.

With the blessing of the spirit, the mahjong tiles seemed to come alive, and the symbols and words on them seemed to come to life.

And so, Ma Fei and Master Yang spent the whole day in Zhang Lingfeng's forging workshop, watching Zhang Lingfeng forge one mahjong tile after another.

Each mahjong tile can be imbued with divine power.

It was indeed crafted by a first-class blacksmith.

"Little black."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"Master Zhang."

Xiao Hei called out very sweetly.

"In a little while, could you help me deliver the mahjong table to the Ou family's tenement? I'm from that area, so I should think of them if I get anything good. When I go back in the future, I can play a few rounds with the brothers there. Don't forget to bring the mahjong manual with you."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"Hey, okay!"

Xiao Hei nodded hurriedly.

Ma Fei nodded secretly. Although Zhang Lingfeng's forgings were somewhat unrealistic for the time being, he was a loyal and righteous person. Even after becoming a first-class blacksmith, he still cared about the people in the Ou family compound. He seemed like a reliable guy.

Secondly, although the mahjong table and reclining chair were forged from some refining materials, Ma Fei took a closer look and found that these materials were the cheapest kind.

The loss to Shenjiangpu was not significant.

Importantly, Zhang Lingfeng's skills improved very quickly.

It can bring enormous profits to the Divine Craftsman Shop.

In short, as Zhang Lingfeng's strength increased, these behaviors became quite pleasing to Ma Fei's eyes. Of course, he also reminded Zhang Lingfeng to forge a divine weapon suitable for his own use.

Then everyone can see how effective those powerful weapons are.

Zhang Lingfeng saw Ma Fei off.

They continued working in the forging room.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu delivered the mahjong table and some other items to the Ou family's courtyard.

"Little Sheep, you can go now. Master Yang needs to see you."

Zhang Lingfeng said without turning his head.

He is not a fool.

He could still sense the lamb's unusual excitement.

He was simply confident and didn't care about these things.

"Master Zhang."

The lamb immediately knelt down.

Clang!

Zhang Lingfeng did not respond, but focused on forging mahjong tiles. These mahjong tiles had to be uniform in size, and the characters and patterns had to be clear so that they could be clearly felt when drawing the tiles.

Secondly, an additional divine power restriction should be placed above it.

Ensuring that other people's spiritual sense cannot easily detect the words on the mahjong tiles is crucial to preventing cheating during the game, making it a massive undertaking.

Fortunately, making mahjong tiles is a pleasant activity. Zhang Lingfeng doesn't feel tired at all. He can practice his lying-down technique to the fullest and improve his forging skills at the same time. It's a win-win situation.

The lamb wanted to cry but had no tears.

They had no choice but to leave Zhang Lingfeng's forge.

"Snapped!"

Master Yang had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the lamb, he immediately slapped it across the face.

"Oh shit!"

Master Yang smashed the mahjong tiles, which were engraved with bird patterns, onto the lamb.

The lamb was sent flying backwards.

The divine body nearly collapsed.

That mahjong set was forged by Zhang Lingfeng's soul. It can not only store divine power, but also enhance it. Moreover, Master Yang is a level three blacksmith with powerful divine power and is himself a god-level expert.

Even a small object thrown lightly can be extremely lethal.

The lambs can't withstand it.

It's amazing that they weren't crushed to death.

"How dare you make fun of me."

Master Yang was furious.

"I dare not. I really didn't know that Zhang Lingfeng had become a first-class blacksmith. You might as well think about what benefits this would bring me."

The little lamb looked aggrieved.

He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Master Yang thought it made sense, but he was still furious.

He looked at the lamb with great disdain.

"Get back here. I need to know everything about Zhang Lingfeng."

Master Yang said.

"He has already kicked me out."

The lamb lay on the ground and cried.

"waste."

Master Yang really wanted to kick the lamb to death.

“Brother Yang, there’s something strange about Zhang Lingfeng’s matter. I don’t believe that forging those things can improve forging skills.”

"That's what Master Liu said."

"Yes, we've been blacksmiths for so many years, and we know best how we acquired our skills."

Master Huang echoed.

"It's a bit weird indeed."

Master Yang also found it strange.

Zhang Lingfeng's silent transformation into a qualified blacksmith was completely unexpected by all of them.

“How about this? He advocates a combination of labor and service, right? Let him carry it out to the end. I don’t believe that when Master Ma sees him like this, he will think he is a worthy successor.”

Master Liu suggested.

"what do you mean?"

Master Yang's eyes lit up.

"Let him keep forging those useless things."

Master Liu said.
