The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

"Miss Murong."

He successfully obtained the intermediate and advanced divine rune cultivation methods and added them to his panel, while also using his "lying down value" to upgrade them to the maximum.

Become a peak level 3 Divine Inscription Master.

Zhang Lingfeng was filled with gratitude towards Murong Li.

Before leaving, I wanted to thank Murong Li.

If the other party needs anything, offer some assistance.

"Master Zhang."

Murong Li had been keeping an eye on Zhang Lingfeng's movements.

But they dared not disturb Zhang Lingfeng.

She was just an apprentice.

We must serve Zhang Lingfeng throughout the entire process.

They stood guard outside Zhang Lingfeng's secluded room.

Zhang Lingfeng saw her as soon as he came out.

"Master Zhang, you seem to have become stronger?"

Murong Li was unable to sense any change in Zhang Lingfeng's aura.

But for some reason, Zhang Lingfeng's current appearance made her feel as if the person standing in front of her was not an ordinary divine inscription master, but a guild leader.

Murong Li is determined to become a divine inscription master.

The soul is in a state of evolution, but it is not easy to fully evolve. Perhaps after many years of baptism, there will be a chance to become a divine inscription master.

At the same time, each baptism is extremely expensive, a price that Murong Li cannot afford.

So seeing Zhang Lingfeng in this state, she felt very envious.

"Okay!"

Zhang Lingfeng did not refute.

"You are amazing. I have always wanted to become a Divine Inscription Master, to be like you, but I have never been able to do so. I don't know how long I will have to wait before I can become a Divine Inscription Master."

Murong Li said casually.

"This girl is nice."

Zhang Lingfeng recalled how carefully Murong Li had registered him and arranged the testing, and how he had later contacted him through a communication jade slip to remind him to participate in the forging competition and the divine inscription master cultivation competition, and so on.

"Very well, let's just consider it a stroke of luck!"

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

Now that he has just become a level three peak divine inscription master, as long as he baptizes Murong Li, with his own strength, the probability of Murong Li becoming a divine inscription master is still very high.

If he fails, that is Murong Li's fate.

"Do you really want to become a Divine Inscription Master?"

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

Murong Li was taken aback, then a look of longing flashed in his eyes.

Nodding like a chick pecking at rice, he replied, "Of course I want to! I've worked in the guild for so long hoping to get guidance and become a true Divine Inscription Master. But... my talent isn't enough; I can't sense the fluctuations of Divine Inscription power in my soul."

"I have come to baptize you."

Zhang Lingfeng said calmly.

“Master Zhang, you…” Murong Li was stunned.

"Come inside and sit down!"

Zhang Lingfeng entered the cultivation room and gestured for Murong Li to sit cross-legged.

"Master Zhang!"

Murong Li looked excited.

How could I possibly refuse such an opportunity?

He immediately sat down, surrendering himself to Zhang Lingfeng and accepting the divine runes from him.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Lingfeng unleashed the power of a peak level three divine rune master.

It slowly entered Murong Li's mind and permeated his soul.

This is not an ordinary baptism by a level one divine inscription master, but rather the work of a level three divine inscription master!
The divine rune power entered Murong Li's body and surged into her soul, searching for fluctuations of divine rune power within her soul as if peeling back layers of an onion.

The divine rune power emanating from Zhang Lingfeng was like finding a treasure or a seed, attempting to awaken the divine rune power within Murong Li and allow the seed to take root and sprout.

Murong Li frowned, and soon his head was covered in sweat.

But she endured the pain and did not faint like Zhang Lingfeng had done before.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt as if a power was about to emerge from her soul. She was excited and dared not relax for a moment.

With Zhang Lingfeng's help, Murong Li finally felt the fluctuations of divine rune power in his soul, successfully cultivated the divine rune cultivation method to perfection, and formed the first divine rune power!
"I...I succeeded?"

Murong Li stared in disbelief at his hands, on which faint divine runes shone.

"Congratulations, from now on you are a Level 1 Divine Inscription Master."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

Murong Li was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Zhang Lingfeng and said, "Thank you so much, Celestial Master Zhang! I will never forget this kindness and virtue!"

"You've just become a Divine Inscription Master and need to go into seclusion to consolidate your skills. Go back and cultivate first."

Zhang Lingfeng reminded him.

"Yes!" Murong Li respectfully withdrew and returned to his residence to cultivate in seclusion.

Shortly after Murong Li left, Chen Fenfang, Master Liu, and Master Yan arrived at Zhang Tianshi's secluded retreat location.

Chen Fenfang recalled that when Zhang Lingfeng became a Divine Inscription Master, he took out an identity token with the words "Zhang Tianshi" written on it.

At the time, she, Master Liu, and Master Yan all found it unbelievable that a Zhang Tianshi from another place would actually hand over his identity token to Zhang Lingfeng, acknowledging Zhang Lingfeng as his disciple.

Let's go take a look!

Both Master Liu and Master Yan were very curious.

They found Zhang Lingfeng in the training room.

"Zhang Lingfeng, what are you doing here?"

Chen Fenfang asked in surprise.

She knew that Zhang Lingfeng was someone that General Ma had his eye on, and that he was determined to become a Divine Inscription Master, but he lacked the talent. In the end, with the help of Master Liu and Master Yan, he was able to master the basics of the Divine Inscription Cultivation Method.

Where is Zhang Tianshi?

Master Liu asked in confusion.

"You're here to see your master, aren't you!"

Master Yan said.

Where is your master?

Chen Fenfang asked.

They didn't see anyone else in the meditation room.

"I'm also here to see my master."

Zhang Lingfeng immediately realized that they had misunderstood.

He didn't want Chen Fenfang and the others to know that he was Zhang Tianshi. He still wanted to deal with the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion and make Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun pay a heavy price.

He discovered that none of the three of them had sensed that he had become a peak level three divine rune master.

However, he could clearly sense the fluctuations in the divine runes on the three of them.

"Where is Zhang Tianshi? We want to see him."

Master Yan asked hurriedly.

Both he and Master Liu were first-level divine inscription masters, and they were full of curiosity about this mysterious Celestial Master Zhang.

"He... has already left. He just left not long ago, saying he had urgent business to attend to."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"gone?"

Master Liu and his two companions were caught off guard.

"Next time there is an opportunity, I will arrange for my master to meet with the three of you."

Zhang Lingfeng added.

"That's a pity."

Will your master participate in the Divine Inscription Master Cultivation Conference?

Master Yan asked.

"I think so!"

Zhang Lingfeng said, "Once the matter with the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion is resolved, it's fine for people to know that I am a Divine Inscription Master. But before we take action against the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion, this identity should not be revealed for the time being, as it could easily cause trouble and make the people of the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion wary of me."

"Then we'll just have to wait until the conference to see him."

Master Liu remarked with emotion.

"Zhang Lingfeng, don't wander around if you have nothing to do. There's nothing wrong with staying at the Divine Craftsman's Shop."

Chen Fenfang reminded her.

"We've all forgotten that Master Zhang is a peak level 5 blacksmith. The fact that the Divine Craftsman Shop's reputation has been preserved is all thanks to Master Zhang."

"Greetings, Master Zhang."

Master Liu remembered this matter.

Chen Fenfang came to her senses, and then the three of them bowed to Zhang Lingfeng together.

Facing a level 5 peak blacksmith, although they were both divine rune masters, their level was only level 1, and in terms of status, they might not even be as good as Zhang Lingfeng.

They all became very polite immediately.

The fact that Zhang Tianshi was able to accept Zhang Lingfeng as his disciple made him even more mysterious in the eyes of the three.

"You're so polite."

"I'm nothing, I have to go back now."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

That's when he took the opportunity to leave the Divine Inscription Master Guild.

Not long after Zhang Lingfeng left the Divine Inscription Master, Murong Li returned to the guild.

She returned to the guild as a divine rune master, emanating a faint fluctuation of divine rune power.

Although he was only a first-level divine rune master, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

"Murong Li, you..."

The other staff members of the guild were stunned.

"I have become a Divine Inscription Master."

Murong Li smiled, his eyes full of confidence.

"How is that possible? Didn't you always have trouble sensing the fluctuations of divine runes?"

someone asked.

"It was Zhang Tianshi who baptized me and helped me successfully cultivate the Divine Rune Cultivation Method to its full potential."

"Murong Li said."

These words shocked the entire Divine Inscription Master Guild!
How could Zhang Tianshi help someone with insufficient talent become a divine inscription master? What kind of method is that?
Upon learning the news, Chen Fenfang, Master Liu, and Master Yan hurriedly sought out Murong Li.

"Miss Murong, did Master Zhang really help you become a Divine Inscription Master?"

Chen Fenfang asked incredulously.

She recalled her journey to becoming a Divine Inscription Master. It took her nearly a year to master the basics of Divine Inscription cultivation, and then another ten years to allow her soul to undergo a transformation, thus becoming a Divine Inscription Master.

“Yes.” Murong Li nodded. “Master Zhang is a level three divine rune master. His baptismal power is very strong, and it directly awakened the divine rune power in my soul.”

Murong Li was unaware that Zhang Lingfeng was a level three divine rune master.

But he was suddenly awakened by the power of the divine runes.

His methods are comparable to those of the chairman.

Therefore, it is speculated that Zhang Tianshi is a level three divine inscription master.

At the same time, actively praising Zhang Tianshi wouldn't do him any harm, so he said it like this.

"Level 3 Divine Inscription Master..."

Master Liu and Master Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

They were only first-level Divine Inscription Masters, and they knew all too well how difficult it was to become one.

Zhang Lingfeng had been unable to master the Divine Rune Cultivation Method until the two of them finally helped him. With such talent and aptitude, how could he possibly become a Divine Rune Master?

Now that they know Zhang Lingfeng's master is a level three divine inscription master, the three of them can't help but wonder if Zhang Tianshi could one day make Zhang Lingfeng a divine inscription master as well.

"What did Zhang Tianshi look like? Where is he now?"

Master Yan asked hurriedly.

“Master Zhang… has already left,” Murong Li said. “He said he had important matters to attend to, but I don’t know exactly where he went.”

Zhang Lingfeng sent her a message when he left.

Chen Fenfang and the other two looked disappointed.

They had waited so many days just to meet this mysterious Zhang Tianshi.

Not only did they miss out, but the other party was actually a level three divine rune master.

This is a big deal!
After all, the president of the Divine Inscription Master Guild in Baidi City is only a level three Divine Inscription Master. Zhang Lingfeng's master is a level three Divine Inscription Master, which will inevitably alarm the entire Baidi City.

The news that Zhang Tianshi had helped Murong Li become a Divine Inscription Master quickly spread throughout the entire Divine Inscription Master Guild.

"Have you heard? Murong Li has become a Divine Inscription Master!"

"It was Zhang Tianshi who performed the baptism for her!"

"Just who is Zhang Tianshi? How could he possess such abilities?"

"If we could get guidance from Master Zhang, maybe we could become divine inscription masters too!"

Everyone in the guild was filled with curiosity and fantasies about Zhang Tianshi.

Some believe that Zhang Tianshi is a reclusive master, some believe that he is a powerful figure from another region, and others speculate that he may be an elder of the Divine Inscription Master Guild.

Regardless, Zhang Tianshi's name had already spread throughout the Divine Inscription Master Guild.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng had already left the Divine Inscription Master Guild.

He checked the panel information:
Lying flat value: None

Intermediate Divine Rune Cultivation Method: (100/100)

Advanced Divine Rune Cultivation Method: (97.5/100)

Divine Power: 297.5
Realm: Peak Level 3 Divine Inscription Master, Upper God, Peak Level 5 Blacksmith
"It's time to settle accounts with the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion."

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Lingfeng's eyes.

With the power of a peak level three divine inscription master, plus the strength of a high god, it might be difficult for Zhang Lingfeng to overthrow the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion, but killing Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun would not be much of a problem for him.

After he left the guild.

Then they arrived at the Divine Craftsman's Pavilion.

Of course, they didn't just barge in.

He used to be a member of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion, guarding the Divine Craftsman Shop and monitoring his actions.

I want to randomly target him.

Following the instructions of the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion, he also stood guard outside the pavilion, waiting for Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun to walk right into the trap.

He must make the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion pay a heavy price.

Even if they cannot overthrow the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion, they must kill Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun.

Only in this way can I vent my anger.

Only then can we ensure that the Divine Craftsmen Pavilion will not dare to harass him again in the future.

However, something he was unaware of was quietly happening.

The two mid-level gods sent by the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion to monitor him at the entrance of the Divine Craftsmen's Shop disappeared without a trace, along with Khun Sa.

Both Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun suspected that Barkol might be behind it all.

However, after the news spread that Murong Li had become a Divine Inscription Master, and that he had only become a Divine Inscription Master with the help of Zhang Tianshi.

The Divine Craftsmen Pavilion also received the news immediately.

"A level three Divine Inscription Master?"

Shen Qiming was covered in sweat.

"After investigation, it was found that Murong Li was indeed just a guy who did odd jobs in the guild and couldn't find any soul power in the soul."

"If someone can easily make someone a divine inscription master, then their strength must be at least level three."

"What can we do now?"

"It is said that Zhang Lingfeng was determined to become a divine inscription master, but many divine inscription masters did not think highly of him. Later, for some unknown reason, a Zhang Tianshi suddenly appeared and took him as his disciple."

"Could it be that Zhang Tianshi really killed Khun Sa?"

"If Zhang Tianshi really exists, why would he suddenly become so high-profile and let people know that he is a level three divine inscription master, given that he has always been low-key?"

"It's probably because of Zhang Lingfeng!"

The higher-ups of the Divine Craftsman Pavilion were discussing amongst themselves, their expressions growing increasingly grim as they spoke, before finally turning their gazes to Shen Qiming and Shen Pengyun.

If the rumors are true, this is a very troublesome matter for the Divine Craftsmen's Pavilion. (End of Chapter)
