The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Ma Fei looked helpless.

Zhang Lingfeng is building a land-based swimming machine.

The idea came from Tomato King, who wanted to create a device that allows people to swim on land without drowning.

He has already drawn up the blueprints.

A pool is being built.

And the components for stepping on with hands and feet.

Unexpectedly, Ma Fei stopped them.

"My father will be back in a while. He found out about your massage chair project and said it would affect the reputation of Shenjiang Shop."

The Divine Craftsman's Shop is where divine weapons and powerful artifacts are forged.

It's not about building these entertainment devices.

If we don't stop immediately, there will be no divine weapons or artifacts designated by higher gods in the future.

Even the signboard of the Divine Craftsman's Shop will collapse.

So let's end it here!

Remove everything in here that can be cleaned immediately.

Ma Fei's expression grew more and more serious as he spoke.

Thinking of the reputation that the Divine Craftsman Shop had built up over the years, Ma Fei knew that this strike had to be made decisively and could not be taken lightly.

"This? Alright, let's do as Young Master Ma says."

Seeing Ma Fei's serious expression, Zhang Lingfeng decided not to insist any further.

"Sorry."

Ma Fei patted Zhang Lingfeng on the shoulder and said, "My father seems very interested in your skills. He will probably summon you when he returns. Get ready."

"Row."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled.

After Ma Fei left.

Zhang Lingfeng instructed Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu to clean up anything that could be cleaned up, and to throw anything that could be recycled back into the furnace.

After all, these are expensive materials for refining weapons.

It can be used to forge some divine weapons.

If Zhang Lingfeng can't forge things that make him happy, then continuing to forge divine weapons in the forge will make it difficult for him to gain "lying down points".

But my current situation is also inseparable from the help of the Ma family.

The Ma family would also give him divine stones and various resource subsidies every month.

Zhang Lingfeng can't just eat and not do any work.

Therefore, in the following period of time, Zhang Lingfeng also began to work with Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu to forge some relatively ordinary divine weapons.

He enjoys crafting things with skillful hands.

For example, forging throwing knives, gold needles, gold beans, or even a barrage of needles, etc., are all powerful concealed weapons.

These small items take a relatively long time to forge.

However, it consumes relatively few refining materials.

As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race.

Zhang Lingfeng can relax and lie down properly during the process.

Lying flat value: 4522
Super Armor: (45.2/100)

Divine Power: 465.7
Soul: 40933
Basic Forging Method; (19/600)

Soul Evolution: (5/100)

Ability: All-weather Soul Essence Evolution Ability

Realm: Level 5 True God, Level 1 Blacksmith
Through prior accumulation.

The "lying down" value has once again exceeded four thousand.

Zhang Lingfeng did not add these "lying down" points to his forging skills, nor did he use them to improve his strength; instead, he kept them for the time being.

Now he needs to forge divine weapons at the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

The daily "lying down" points earned are about the same as in the Ou family's tenement, amounting to about 1,200 per month, only about 300 more than before.

But this is still a considerable amount of money earned by simply lying down.

However, if things continue like this, it will take much longer than one can imagine to attain godhood.

Zhang Lingfeng knew he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

A month later.

Lying flat value: 5891
Ma Fei's father, General Ma, the old master of Ma Street, has finally returned.

The other party is a level four blacksmith, especially a mid-level god-level expert. Upper-level gods have asked him to forge divine weapons and artifacts. He is also Chen Fenfang's sworn brother.

Its status on Ma Street is second to none.

He also has a certain reputation in Baidi City.

Before he even returned, everyone had heard rumors that he was coming back. Members of the Divine Blade Sect and many other departments had been waiting for him for a long time.

When Marshal Ma's personal airship flew into Baidi City and appeared in the sky above Ma Street, all the prominent figures in Ma Street came out to greet it.

Ma Fei, along with all the blacksmiths and even the entire staff of the Divine Craftsman Shop, greeted them at the entrance.

When Zhang Lingfeng saw Marshal Ma's airship, although it wasn't as magnificent or powerful as the airship he had seen at sea before, which was guarded by a powerful god-level expert standing at the front.

But it is still much more powerful than Ma Fei's airship.

Its defensive capabilities and flight speed are extremely high.

It requires multiple blacksmiths working day and night, and it takes three to five years of intensive production to successfully manufacture it.

This kind of airship is a form of identity.

Almost every powerful god-level expert will forge an airship for themselves, to some extent.

"Welcome, Master Ma!"

Master Yang, along with Master Liu, Master Wang, and others, went ahead to greet them.

"father."

Ma Fei took the initiative to open the airship's cabin door.

The first person everyone saw was not Commander Ma.

It was Wu Xiaomei, a female disciple of Ma Dashuai.

The other party is not only a level nine true god, but also a level three blacksmith. This time, General Ma wants to take Wu Xiaomei to Chen Fenfang for baptism so that Wu Xiaomei can become a god-level powerhouse.

They will be able to inherit his skills in the future.

Master Yang was taken aback.

You can sense Wu Xiaomei's strength.

And fluctuations in spiritual power.

He had worked at the Divine Craftsman's Shop for many years and was a solid Level 3 blacksmith. Over the years, relying on his own savings and resources, and with the help of the Divine Inscription Master, he had become a powerful god.

General Ma is right.

Without powerful divine power, it is difficult to forge powerful divine weapons.

Therefore, every blacksmith...

They all emphasize the cultivation of the divine body.

The higher the level of the blacksmith, the higher the level of their divine body.

Master Yang sometimes even wondered if his inability to become a Level 4 blacksmith was related to the fact that he was only a lower-level god.

If I were a mid-level god like General Ma, perhaps I could also break through to become a level four blacksmith on my own.

However, he encountered a bottleneck not only in his skills but also in his cultivation. His cultivation, in particular, was able to become a powerful god mainly by relying on divine rune masters and many resources to forcibly improve it.

Becoming a mid-level god is far more difficult than before.

It is even more difficult than becoming a level four blacksmith.

Wu Xiaomei smiled slightly at everyone.

Move aside.

General Ma just came out from inside.

"Master Ma!"

The crowd shouted.

Zhang Lingfeng saw that the local bullies of Ma Street, the owner of Zuichunlou, and many other prominent figures had all appeared at the Ma family compound and surrounded Marshal Ma's airship.

Ma Dashuai is tall and strong.

The cultivation period was quite long.

He is a little over two meters tall.

The divine power emanating from his body was terrifying.

Every word and action of his exudes divine power, sending chills down people's spines. Without the support of divine soul power, a single glance from him can easily terrify a person.

Zhang Lingfeng was still shaken by what he saw.

He finally understood why Ma Fei obeyed Commander Ma so readily. Commander Ma was not only Ma Fei's father but also his master. With such cultivation and charisma, Ma Fei wouldn't dare to object even if the Divine Craftsman Shop were passed down to someone else.

"You've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Wu Xiaomei, who is also a level three blacksmith."

Ma Dashuai explained.

Upon hearing this, Master Yang's face fell instantly. Many of his supporters, such as Master Liu and Master Wang, also sensed something was wrong and realized that the future of the Divine Craftsman Shop was not up to Master Yang.

"Congratulations to Master Ma for having a worthy successor."

"A great teacher produces great students. Congratulations, Mr. Ma."

"Hello, Master Wu."

"Majie is in luck now."

……

Compared to Master Yang and others, the sect leader from the Divine Blade Sect and other dignitaries from Ma Street offered their congratulations, praising Commander Ma for finding such a good disciple.

The Divine Craftsman's Shop will surely be carried forward and developed.

"Xiaomei, let me introduce you. This is Master Yang. He has worked at the Divine Craftsman Shop for many years and is a Level 3 blacksmith. His skills are now much better than others."

Ma Dashuai brought Wu Xiaomei to Master Yang.

"Xiao Mei greets Master Yang. Please take good care of me, Master Yang."

Wu Xiaomei said respectfully.

Master Yang was still stunned.

Until Master Wang pushed him.

"Master Wu, you're too kind. You're Master Ma's apprentice, and we'll have to learn a lot from you in the future."

Master Yang felt bitter inside, but could only manage a forced smile.

It is General Ma's right to choose who to succeed him. If he does not gain General Ma's appreciation, it is because he lacks the potential, and he has no one to blame but himself.

Even so, when he thought about how he had worked at the Divine Craftsman's Shop for many years and followed General Ma, yet failed to gain General Ma's approval, Master Yang still felt very wronged, wanted to cry, and even wanted to leave the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

"This is Master Wang."

"Master Liu."

"Hello, Master Wang."

"Hello, Master Liu."

……

Ma Dashuai introduced Wu Xiaomei to everyone one by one.

Wu Xiaomei greeted them one by one.

Although Master Liu and Master Wang sympathized with Master Yang, they dared not give Wu Xiaomei a hard time. They owed their current status mostly to the kindness of Commander Ma.

They could not interfere with who Marshal Ma wanted to choose as his successor, nor dared to say a word.

"this……"

Ma Dashuai came to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng, like Master Yang and the others, was wearing the clothes of a blacksmith from the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

"Zhang Lingfeng."

Ma Fei reminded him.

General Ma smiled slightly. There was a blacksmith in the shop. How could he not know who this person was?

"This is Master Zhang."

he introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

Wu Xiaomei bowed.

"Hello, Mr. Ma. Hello, Master Wu."

"Congratulations, Master Ma, on finding such a good apprentice."

Zhang Lingfeng dared not be negligent and continued speaking.

General Ma nodded slightly.

Having reached the level of a mid-level god, he could tell at a glance that Zhang Lingfeng's divine power was only at the level of a fifth-level true god.

It's a miracle that someone like that could become a blacksmith.

It's impossible to forge any kind of divine weapon in the future.

No wonder they forge strange and unusual things; they do it simply to attract attention.

As a traditional blacksmith, Ma Dashuai cared a lot about the reputation of Shenjiangpu and valued every forging technique.

He will not easily let anyone who dares to disrespect or humiliate the profession of blacksmith.

Even the blacksmiths in their own master craftsmanship workshop are the same.

Therefore, the divine weapons produced by Shenjiangpu can occupy a certain market share, and at least they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

Ma Fei, however, came up with a wicked idea.

The workshop was almost turned into a complete mess, but General Ma's anger had not subsided; he was simply suppressing it.

If he had been there.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng possessed a level one forging skill, given his limited divine physical strength, he wouldn't allow Zhang Lingfeng to stay at the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

The contract has now been signed.

He couldn't just kick Zhang Lingfeng out; otherwise, he would have to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages. If he didn't comply, a group of divine rune masters would come knocking on his door.

He could only observe Zhang Lingfeng for a while and see how Zhang Lingfeng behaved before making a decision.

"Congratulations, Master Ma, on finding such a talented disciple!"

After introducing the blacksmiths in the Divine Craftsman's Shop, General Ma, the head of the Divine Gate, and many other leaders of Ma Street gathered together.

Zhang Lingfeng had previously made contact with the Divine Blade Sect because of the Ou Family Compound.

At this moment, Master Liu was just a lackey, and could only stand guard at the door.

Even the leader of the Divine Blade Sect was extremely polite to Commander Ma, acting as if he were Commander Ma's underling, as if Commander Ma could wipe out the Divine Blade Sect if he were displeased.

General Ma and they had a very pleasant conversation.

Invite them to stay for dinner.

The group wisely left.

Ma Fei noticed that his home had many more gifts.

A short while later, an airship appeared in the Ma family compound.

It was Chen Fenfang's airship.

General Ma is finally back; how could she not come and see him?

"Little sister."

"Big brother."

The relationship between Ma Dashuai and Chen Fenfang is better than everyone imagines.

Since the blacksmiths, including Zhang Lingfeng, couldn't get close, and Zhang Lingfeng didn't want to join in the fun anyway, he took advantage of his free time to go back to his room to soak his feet and get a massage to loosen his muscles and relax.

“The group of people from Ma Street just now were all powerful gods, and the sect leader of the Divine Blade Sect seems to be a mid-level god.”

"For a mid-level god to be so polite to Master Ma, it seems that Master Ma is far more than we imagined."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

He finally managed to stand firm on the street.

It cannot be allowed to collapse easily.

"Although I didn't continue forging massage chairs, it seems that Master Ma doesn't think much of me either."

Although Ma Dashuai was all smiles, Zhang Lingfeng could still sense that the way Ma looked at him wasn't as enthusiastic as when he looked at Master Liu and the others.

Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak.

Not only were their forging techniques weak.

The divine body and divine power are also weak.

If one were a god-level powerhouse or a level-two blacksmith, perhaps the situation would be different.

“Master Yang has always wanted to inherit Master Ma’s skills. Now that Master Ma has brought back a female apprentice from outside, I’m afraid Master Yang will feel uncomfortable. Perhaps something unexpected will happen.”

"This is between them, as long as it doesn't affect me."

Zhang Lingfeng muttered to himself.

Everyone could see it, but when Master Ma introduced Wu Xiaomei as his successor in craftsmanship, Master Yang's face fell. At that moment, he must have been the most upset person in the master craftsman's shop.

Zhang Lingfeng felt some sympathy for Master Yang's plight.

However, the transmission of skills cannot be achieved solely through personal feelings.

If it were Master Yang himself, he would also find someone with even greater talent to inherit his skills. Although Wu Xiaomei was born a woman, she already possessed level three forging skills before becoming a god.

It is entirely possible that he will take over the important task of General Ma in the future, and even surpass his predecessor.
