Cultivation World 28: A Brief Separation
"Hey, wait for me!"
"Are you really a weapon master? Are you famous? What kind of magical weapons can you refine?"
"Do you still want that demon bear? I'll hunt it for you. I don't want your spirit stones. Just teach me how to refine weapons."
"I still have over a thousand spirit stones, which I've been saving for a long time. I'll give them all to you. I'll kowtow to you!"
…
After Fu Wenming accidentally said that Xie Yunsui was the weapon master, Qi Yan seemed to have set his sights on Xie Yunsui, and kept following behind him, trying hard to recommend himself.
Xie Yunsui subconsciously examined Qi Yan when he said he wanted to become a weapon refiner.
Qi Yan's beast form is very close to fire. According to the concept of human cultivators, it is a top-grade fire spiritual root.
Whether it is refining medicine or refining weapons, he is innately better than others.
How can I teach such a person?
Xie Yunsui's experience is very diverse and mixed. It would be fine if he could teach someone like Fu Wenming, who is so advanced that he can't surpass himself even if he grows up. But if he teaches Qi Yan, wouldn't he lead him astray?
Xie Yunsui said helplessly: "My level is not high enough to teach you. I recommend you to go to Tianlang Immortal Sect. My master is Venerable Lingye..."
Qi Yan's eyes sparkled. "Venerable Ling Ye? That's the most powerful weapon refiner? Great! He's your master, so he must have taught you all his techniques. It doesn't matter whether I learn from you or him!"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Ling Xiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud. What would this little demon's expression be if he knew that Xie Yunsui inherited half of his skills from another powerful weapon refiner, Xie Yuan?
I'm afraid I'll have to pester Xie Yunsui to become his disciple for the rest of my life.
Xie Yunsui glanced at his Taoist companion and said, "Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune? Why don't you help me figure out how to resolve this?"
Ling Xiyuan said, "It doesn't matter if I release one sheep or two. It's nice for Wenming to have a companion."
It turned out that he wanted Xie Yunsui to accept Qi Yan.
Xie Yunsui sighed: "I'm just afraid of misleading the students."
"I believe in your skills. Besides, even if you can't teach him anything in the future, you can always take him back to let Venerable Ling Ye take a look. He's even better than you, so why are you afraid that Venerable Ling Ye won't look down on him?"
Qi Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah."
Xie Yunsui had no choice but to say, "You should study with me for half a year first."
Fu Wenming suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.
Qi Yan even said to him cheerfully, "Do you humans like to rank people by seniority? Then I'll call you Senior Brother from now on."
Fu Wenming looked at his newly appointed junior apprentice (?), wondering if he could keep the position of senior apprentice.
His only hope at the moment is that Boss Xie will not persuade him to quit because of his poor ability.
However, what Xie Yunsui did not expect was that after accepting Qi Yan, Fu Wenming instead had an urgent desire to become stronger, as if he had suddenly opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and he actually learned to activate the strange fire very quickly.
Even if it was the most ordinary strange fire, as long as he could activate it, it meant that he had made the initial progress in the art of refining weapons.
Fu Wenming was still making the strange fire flicker like a light bulb with an unstable circuit due to insufficient spiritual power. Qi Yan had already easily controlled the intensity of the strange fire, but was stuck at the step of refining the materials - he always smashed the materials to pieces because he used too much force.
One of these two people was not strong enough, and the other was using too much force.
Xie Yunsui was practically bald when he taught.
Here, Ling Xiyuan's training process moved away from the demon fox and demon bear, and headed towards the mountains behind.
Unfortunately, several battles failed to achieve the desired results.
"What's wrong? Haven't you been able to improve your state of mind in the recent battles?"
The temperature inside the Linglong Tower was just right. Xie Yunsui had just made some refreshing coconut and lychee ice, added some recovery potion to it, and served it to Ling Xiyuan.
He saw that Xiaoxi was in a bad mood these past two days, but he didn't say anything, worried that he would keep it in his heart and develop a demon in his heart.
Ling Xiyuan took the ice water and looked at Xie Yunsui's face.
Xie Yunsui touched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Ling Xiyuan smiled and shook his head, took a sip of water, and suddenly said: "For the next training, let's act separately."
Xie Yunsui was stunned: "Huh?"
"You may not believe this, but I always feel safe and secure as long as I'm with you. I feel so safe that I don't think anything could happen to me."
Ling Xiyuan pinched the rim of the cup, his fingers spinning in circles. He had thought about it for a few days before making this decision.
"If you want to improve your state of mind, you must go through a life-and-death battle, but I never felt a sense of 'life-and-death crisis' before."
"So, let's separate for a short while and let me seriously practice with my own abilities."
The Linglong Tower is a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, but Xie Yunsui has never been restricted by the consumption of spiritual power when using it, so he can use it whenever he wants.
Ling Xiyuan knew that his Taoist partner had reached a higher level at some point.
A cultivator's cultivation level affects his lifespan, and Ling Xiyuan doesn't want to distance himself from Xie Yunsui.
Ling Xiyuan tried to be as tactful as possible. There was nothing wrong with his relationship with his Taoist partner, and he really wanted to improve himself.
Xie Yunsui felt aggrieved.
After recognizing Xiaoxi in each world, they have never been separated. Either Xiaoxi follows him, or he stays with Xiaoxi. The two are like conjoined twins, inseparable.
But he also knew that it would be hard for him to not take action when Xiaoxi was in crisis.
He can handle some things on the path of cultivation, but he cannot replace the improvement of one's state of mind.
Xie Yunsui buried his head in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I can't bear to leave."
Ling Xiyuan rarely saw his childish side, so he laughed and said, "No more than half a year, huh? Regardless of whether I break through within half a year, I will come back."
Xie Yunsui tilted his head and said, "Hmph, it will take another half a year."
Xiaoxi hadn't left yet, but Xie Yunsui felt like he was in a life-or-death crisis.
…
The two of them were sticking together before they separated. Qi Yan looked at their backs in confusion and ran to find his senior brother.
"Don't you think there's something strange between Master and fellow Immortal Ling?"
The spark that Fu Wenming had just created suddenly died down, and he said with a subtle expression, "Can't you see the relationship between them?"
Qi Yan asked curiously, "Relationship? Are they brothers?"
"How old are you?"
Qi Yan didn't know how the topic turned to this, but he still answered obediently: "One hundred and twenty years old."
Fu Wenming choked. He hadn't expected him to be this old. He blinked and changed the question: "Have you ever had someone you admired back home?"
Qi Yan wasn't stupid, but his thinking often didn't align with other people's, making it difficult for him to grasp the underlying principles. When he heard Qi Yan's question, he grasped the key words: "Are you saying... Master and him are a couple?"
Fu Wenming nodded: "The boy is teachable."
Qi Yan was even more puzzled: "Can two males be together?"
Fu Wenming choked on his own saliva. "W-what? We humans don't say male and female, we say male and female."
"Isn't that the same thing?" Qi Yan spread his hands: "Those two men together can't have children."
Fu Wenming said, "The higher our human cultivators' cultivation level, the more difficult it is for even female cultivators to conceive. Master and his Taoist companion will certainly not limit themselves to the Foundation Formation stage. By then, having offspring or not won't matter."
Qi Yan let out a cry and fell silent.
As soon as Fu Wenming understood, he devoted himself to the task of rubbing the strange fire again.
After a while, Qi Yan said again: "It doesn't matter. Master has no descendants, so I will take care of him in his old age!"
Fu Wenming: “…”
I may not live long enough to provide for him in his old age.
-
When Xie Yunsui woke up the next day, he noticed that there was no trace of Xiaoxi in the Linglong Tower.
A person left secretly without even saying goodbye.
He opened his eyes and met the bee's eyes.
Xie Yunsui sat up suddenly: "Why didn't you follow him?"
The little bee buzzed: "He won't let me follow him."
Xie Yunsui frowned: "If you don't follow him, what if something happens to him..."
As he spoke, Xie Yunsui realized that perhaps this was the reason why Xiaoxi deliberately left the little bee behind.
As a result, Xie Yunsui was in a bad mood for several days and focused on exploiting his two disciples in Linglong Tower.
Fu Wenming and Qi Yan grew up in pain.
"It's over. It turns out that Senior Ling is so important. Master is almost possessed by a demon when he's not around."
"Stop destroying the material, or you'll get me scolded."
"Master scolded you because he wanted to scold you, not because of me."
"Nonsense, Master never scolded me before you came."
The two were muttering when they suddenly heard a deep voice from behind: "Are you still in the mood to chat?"
The two men's scalps suddenly tightened and they quickened the process of dissecting the monster.
In addition to training his apprentices, Xie Yunsui is considering what to open in his next store.
The location has been determined, it must be near Guiyuan Sect.
Although Guiyuan Sect is also a second-rate sect, it is different from the secluded Hengwu Pavilion. Guiyuan Sect is located in Cangyu City, has complex influence, and has the ambition to become a first-rate sect.
In Cangyu City, cultivators and mortals live together, and there are countless alchemy and weapon workshops.
Xie Yunsui hesitated for a long time and decided to wait and go to Cangyu City to see the situation before making a conclusion.
In the Burning Heaven Mountains, a Linglong Tower suddenly appeared, standing on the third peak, at the junction of training and material collection. Whether you come to make money or advance, you can see it at a glance.
Naturally, there were people who had the courage to come forward and ask questions.
Upon learning that there was actually an instrument cultivator inside, whose master was Venerable Ling Ye and who was also Xie Yunsui, who had previously become famous at the auction for a ninth-grade lotus platform, someone immediately asked if he would accept orders to refine magical instruments.
Without anyone to cling to, Xie Yunsui focused on his career: "Take it, take it all."
Among the orders received previously, he already had an idea about the two expedited magical instruments for Qing Yan Sect and was preparing to refine them. At his speed, it would take less than half a year.
As for other orders, there is no rush at the moment.
Xie Yunsui doesn't care whether the person who comes to him is refining a low-grade Huang-level magic weapon or a high-grade Xuan-level magic weapon. As long as the person can afford the price and provide the materials, he will accept them all.
"Is it really all about providing the materials?"
"What are you thinking? A weapon master like this must have a fee."
"Hey, haven't you heard? Refining a lower-grade yellow-level magic weapon only costs 200 spirit stones. Each upgrade costs only 200 more spirit stones."
"What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?"
"Also, didn't he bring two apprentices with him? They can also refine some of the magic tools. It is said that the magic tools refined by the apprentices are made without any payment."
"As long as it's usable, who cares who made it?"
"With such a master's approval, how bad can the magic weapon refined by the disciple be?"
"If I only want a low-grade yellow-level magic weapon and then sell it..."
…
The news that there was a weapon master who could at least refine a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon in the Burning Heaven Mountains spread immediately, and the number of cultivators in the Burning Heaven Mountains increased visibly.
