Cultivation World 38: An Unexpected Mistake
Ling Ye's temporary residence was a palace he had built himself, which would cover an area of a thousand hectares when enlarged.
Since we came here secretly and it is inconvenient to make a big show of it, only the main hall and bedrooms are open.
After Xie Yunsui came in, he looked around and took note of it.
If Ling Ye wanted to test Xie Yunsui, he had to start the furnace, and the time would not be short. Considering that Ling Xiyuan was bored alone, Ling Ye opened a training room for him to use.
Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan who were assigned to the task: "..."
Ling Xiyuan gave Xie Yunsui a look that said "take care of yourself", then left him and went to the practice room.
"Alright, stop thinking about your Taoist partner. Let me see if your skills have deteriorated over the past year."
Ling Ye opened his weapon refining room. It looked like a normal-sized room from the outside, but the space inside was extremely large.
The entire wall is filled with materials accumulated over the years, from hundreds to thousands of years old, common and uncommon, everything is available.
In the fire-starting array on the ground, there are nearly ten kinds of special fires.
These things are readily available at the wave of a hand.
I can’t imagine how happy a weapon cultivator who is obsessed with refining weapons would be in such a space.
Is this the accumulation of hundreds of years of weapon cultivation?
Xie Yunsui looked on with envy.
"You can use these things however you want." Ling Ye said generously.
Xie Yunsui smiled: "Okay."
He did it right away, and Xie Yunsui immersed himself in the process of refining Kuku.
Half a month later, after he produced three Xuan-level top-grade magic weapons in succession, Ling Ye's brows finally relaxed.
Ling Ye praised her endlessly: "As expected, she's the one that Xie Yuan has his eyes on, hahahaha."
"Master, take a look. Is there anything I can improve on this magical instrument?"
Ling Ye lowered his head and looked carefully, and found that these three kinds of magic weapons were all in conflict with space?
"Hmm? This... has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and is more than enough to be my life-defining magic weapon. Why are you thinking of adding a spatial formation? It doesn't necessarily have to be this."
Xie Yunsui had taken on so many custom orders that he was very skilled in refining most of the magical instruments, including attack, defense, and control...
But he just couldn't make a space magic tool like the Linglong Tower and the master's palace.
Xie Yunsui sighed and said, "I want to learn this exquisite tower from Master, but I really don't have the energy to do so. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Ling Ye: "That is a magic weapon I refined when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. You are only at the Golden Core stage, so there is no need to rush."
"Yes." Xie Yunsui tried several times and found that he could not refine it, so he guessed that it was because his cultivation was not enough.
But since he was already here, he still had some questions he wanted to discuss with his master.
"Master, the Linglong Tower has seven floors of space, each one different. And your palace, from the outside, looks like a room of only ten square meters, but inside it's hundreds or even thousands of square meters. So, theoretically, could we create a space where living beings could live and reproduce, creating an independent world?"
Ling Ye looked at Xie Yunsui quietly, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
Xie Yunsui tilted his head: "What's wrong? Master, am I just being too fanciful?"
"I discussed this question with that old fellow Xie Yuan before."
Ling Ye's gaze passed through Xie Yunsui, as if recalling the past: "It was at that time that Xie Yuan and I thought about studying space artifacts like the Linglong Tower and the Palace. Before that, the Qiankun Bag was the only useful space artifact in the entire cultivation world."
"That day, Xie Yuan suddenly asked me if it was possible to fit an entire world into a tiny Qiankun bag. I told him I was being fanciful, saying how could a Qiankun bag hold a living being? He then laughed at me for being old-fashioned."
"He and I have a mutual sympathy, but we also compete with each other. Even with all our might, we still can't achieve the desired result."
Ling Ye pointed at the huge palace and said, "Do you see this? This space of over a thousand feet is filled entirely with burning spirit stones. Every day of use consumes thousands of spirit stones. Your exquisite tower, without spiritual power to drive it, is just a small gadget in the palm of your hand. Any space magic tool requires spiritual power to maintain. If it can hold a whole world, how much spiritual power will it take?"
"The energy required must be vast and endless."
“It’s theoretically possible, but we can’t afford it.”
Obviously, Ling Ye has thought about this issue for a long time and has worked hard on it, but the final conclusion is not satisfactory.
The Wanjie Shop remained silent, quietly absorbing the earth's energy from this world to maintain its operation.
Xie Yunsui pondered, "Master, cultivators like me aren't born with the ability to use spiritual energy. We can use spiritual energy by absorbing it from this world and turning it into something useful. If humans can do that, can magical instruments absorb spiritual energy on their own?"
"The magic weapon can't operate the skills, how can it be--"
Ling Ye suddenly stopped.
Eh?
Eh?
I certainly don’t know how to use magic weapons, but that doesn’t mean other methods are not possible. Aren’t there so many formations?
…
Ling Xiyuan looked at Xie Yunsui and asked, "Is your teaching exam over?"
Xie Yunsui nodded: "I discussed something with Master, and he seemed to have a sudden inspiration and threw me out."
Ling Xiyuan smiled and said, "Are you still staying here? The weapon refining conference is almost over."
Xie Yunsui: "Let's go and see who won the award in the end."
Equipment Refining Conference.
Xie Yan competed until the very end.
The last stage of the Qi training group is finally about to begin. The goal is to be able to completely refine a magical weapon. Whoever completes more procedures and the more complete the magical weapon will be ranked at the top.
At this stage, Xie Yan was finally unable to cheat using his rich theoretical knowledge.
He looked at the judges on the field, concentrating on sensing his surroundings, but he could not detect any Nascent Soul Realm masters present.
The Venerable Ling Ye, who was said to appear in the last three days, was unable to come because of something.
Xie Yan: ...
He simply gave up the game.
Tao Zhuo, the organizer of this weapon refining conference, had always been optimistic about Xie Yan and didn't know why he gave up. "It has come to this point. If you give up, you will miss out on the first prize."
The first prize of the conference is not like other competitions, where the reward is some good magic weapon or elixir. Instead, the winner will be directly admitted to the Tianlang Immortal Sect as an exception, and will be accepted as a disciple by Ling Ye.
These weapon cultivators all came for this reward.
Of course, for disciples of the Qifeng level of the Tianlang Immortal Sect, there will be other compensation items, such as very valuable materials, which can be discussed later.
For Xie Yan, this was the only chance to see Ling Ye.
But, he really doesn't know how to refine weapons!!
Xie Yan said with a cold face: "I give up the competition."
Tao Zhuo was very disappointed: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
Xie Yan looked at him deeply and repeated the same words.
Xie Yunsui only saw this scene when he arrived, and thought to himself, "Senior Brother Tao, please stop trying to persuade me. It will be something to watch if he really uses the strange fire to burn the place."
Ling Ye suddenly had an epiphany and plunged into the weapon refining room, forgetting about meeting Xie Yan.
With Xie Yan's current ability, it is still difficult to find Ling Ye. By some coincidence, the two were prevented from meeting.
Ling Xiyuan whispered, "You said the plot has gone astray. Will there be any consequences?"
Xie Yunsui propped up his chin: "Probably... not?"
In the plot, Ling Ye gave Xie Yan so many life-saving magic weapons, didn’t he give them all?
It is still a reasonable way to buy and sell through stores.
If the leader of Qingyan Sect saw this, he wouldn't think that a roadside shop had a close relationship with Xie Yan, and would go crazy and want to cancel all the shops, right?
Xie Yunsui sent a message to Tao Zhuo, saying that his master had come to see him and saw that Xie Yan had no talent for refining weapons, so he asked him not to be obsessed with Xie Yan anymore.
Tao Zhuo was shocked. He didn't know that his master had been here and commented on Xie Yan.
Master is such a jerk. He didn’t even inform him before he came.
However, Xie Yunsui would not lie to him, so he finally gave up his persistence and let Xie Yan leave.
Ling Ye, who was immersed in research in the palace, sneezed. Thinking that he was inhaled by the smoke, he rubbed his nose and continued.
It seems... I forgot something important.
No matter what, what could be more important than refining magic weapons!
-
"Master, why are you here?"
As soon as the results of the Qi training group came out, Fu Wenming saw Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan outside the venue.
The two of them stood tall and graceful, with smiles on their faces, looking over with approval.
Fu Wenming's nose felt sore, and he hurried forward to bow and salute: "Master, I only got sixth place. I feel ashamed of your teaching."
Xie Yunsui praised: "I sent you here to broaden your horizons, and winning the award is a pleasant surprise. You were able to defeat a group of weapon cultivators and rank in the top ten, which is already very good."
After all, he had only wanted to send Qi Yan here, so it was a real surprise that others could win the award.
Ling Xiyuan asked, "Where are the other disciples?"
"They were called in by Master Tao to talk. Junior Brother Qi Yan's group just finished and is currently being evaluated."
"Well, you all worked hard in this competition." Xie Yunsui paused, then asked, "Did you have any conflicts with anyone?"
Fu Wenming said, "I occasionally had an argument with someone, and I went to apologize, and that person didn't pursue the matter."
Fu Wenming thought about it and decided not to cover up the truth for those people. He reported all the discord between him and Yan Xia to Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
It really makes me worry.
On the other side, Tao Zhuo looked at the group of disciples sent to Xie Yunsui for instruction. In this Qi training group competition, only two of them made it into the top ten.
"Fu Wenming is only in the early stages of Qi training, yet he's already independently crafted a space gourd. You all have higher cultivation levels than him, yet your rankings aren't even as good as his. Could it be that Junior Brother Xie wasn't diligent in teaching you?"
Tao Zhuo said coldly: "Or are you holding grudges and not studying hard enough?"
Tao Zhuo has always been gentle and modest to others, but this was the first time he was so strict, and several people were scared.
"We know we are wrong!"
"Admit your mistake? Oh? What mistake did you admit?"
These people were speechless.
Tao Zhuo snorted, "I heard you were picking on a little-known weapon cultivator during the competition? As a weapon cultivator, why don't you focus on improving your own skills and instead pick on others? Do you want to suppress everyone who is stronger than you so you can become the strongest? Have you forgotten the rules of Weapon Peak? Or do you want to emulate those two who were rejected and switch schools to learn something else?"
The disciples' faces turned red and white, which was more embarrassing than direct corporal punishment.
Tao Zhuo gave a good lecture.
This batch of disciples all have this bad habit, each one is worse than the last!
