Dragon's Origin

Chapter 138: Super Expert (Part 2)

Grandmaster Lu is currently an eighth-level expert, but he actually said he didn't dare to be presumptuous when facing the Lingxu Old Daoist. What level is the Lingxu Old Daoist at?

Some things can't be pondered too deeply. The more you think about them, the more terrifying they become. Fortunately, I've been well-behaved here, learning carving from the little teacher and calligraphy from the old Daoist. If I had any other intentions, my grave would probably be covered in grass by now.

"Whether it's blacksmithing or carving, you should use spiritual energy when you need to. To work is to cultivate." The Lingxu Old Daoist glanced at Wang Sheng with disdain and said slowly, "Do you think you can become a master with just your brute strength?"

"Carving also requires using spiritual energy?" Wang Sheng's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

No wonder these masters all have profound cultivation. If they need to use spiritual energy, their cultivation naturally can't be low. In the continuous carving day and night, their own spiritual energy is constantly being consumed and cultivated. In terms of intensity, it's equivalent to being in fierce battles every day. It would be strange if their cultivation was low.

If he had known this, Wang Sheng would have used spiritual energy in his practice long ago. He was afraid that using spiritual energy would lead to an unstable foundation, so he stubbornly relied on his own strength to persevere. Of course, his strength was enough for him to do many such practices without feeling tired.

"Normally, in the foundation-laying stage, it's best to learn steadily and normally." Grandmaster Lu said slowly with a smile, "Didn't you see that my little apprentice is learning from the most basic? He can't even use spiritual energy."

The little teacher is still young, and his Yuan Soul hasn't been enlightened yet, so naturally, he can't use spiritual energy. But Wang Sheng understood that since Grandmaster Lu was teaching him at this time, there must be a reason.

"Well, since I've received such a big favor from you, I have to give you some guidance for a few days." Grandmaster Lu saw Wang Sheng's unwilling look and said with a smile, "Based on your current level, you're not ready to learn to use spiritual energy directly for carving. However, you're not far off. I'll be here these few days to specifically guide you."

Wang Sheng was overjoyed. Grandmaster Lu's personal guidance was much more professional than the little teacher's.

After resting for a day and preparing a lot of things, Grandmaster Lu personally began to guide Wang Sheng from the next day.

From selecting materials, conceiving ideas, to carving techniques, Grandmaster Lu guided Wang Sheng item by item. When he was working, Grandmaster Lu also personally demonstrated how to use the most correct techniques and how to add the application of spiritual energy to the carving techniques, teaching him step by step, without getting tired.

Wang Sheng didn't want to waste the opportunity to be taught by Grandmaster Lu himself, so he learned very carefully. He completed everything according to Grandmaster Lu's instructions without any discount.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng's cultivation had already reached the third level of the Bixi Transformation, and he had a lot of experience in guiding spiritual energy from the acupoints to using it. Under Grandmaster Lu's guidance, he gradually learned the essence of carving.

Speaking of which, the method of use is somewhat similar to combat, but not exactly the same. Combat requires explosive power and the ability to output spiritual energy continuously. Carving is the same, but the requirement for explosive power is not as strong, while the requirement for endurance is even greater.

However, in essence, there is no difference between the two. In the end, it's just the method of using spiritual energy.

Grandmaster Lu was very responsible, teaching every technique and every tool in great detail. How spiritual energy flows in the body is different for everyone, but how to use it on the hands was explained in great detail.

How to use the hammer, how to use the chisel, Grandmaster Lu taught the most basic of the basics, but it allowed Wang Sheng to benefit a lot in a short period of time, and even his techniques improved a lot.

Seeing that Wang Sheng had learned almost everything here, the Lingxu Old Daoist was not idle either, and also taught him how to use spiritual energy in calligraphy. It was still the same basic teaching, the same most meticulous techniques, but it brought about earth-shattering changes.

Wang Sheng was simply too surprised. These days, he had been in constant excitement. Two experts of this level were teaching him how to temper the use of spiritual energy in daily techniques. This was simply something that couldn't be asked for!

The teachers taught earnestly, and the students studied hard. In less than ten days, Wang Sheng was already able to initially use spiritual energy simply in carving and calligraphy without making mistakes. The rest was just a process of practice makes perfect.

Grandmaster Lu was about to leave and return to the Imperial City's Heavenly Craftsman Workshop. On the day of his departure, Wang Sheng personally cooked a large table of delicious food to honor Grandmaster Lu and the Lingxu Old Daoist.

Grandmaster Lu, the Lingxu Old Daoist, Wang Sheng's little teacher, plus Wang Sheng, were eating and drinking happily when two people were walking leisurely along the path outside the village towards the village.

Two people, one old and one young. The old one looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with a youthful appearance and full of energy. The young one was only in his twenties, dressed luxuriously, and exuded a young and sharp aura, and he was not a mediocre person at first glance.

The two walked unhurriedly. Not far behind them, there were dozens of men in black, all carrying weapons, each holding a piece of metal covered with various patterns, following the two forward.

When they were near the entrance of the village, the young man waved his hand, and dozens of men in black quickly spread out, surrounding the small village from all directions. After each determined their position, they placed the metal block in their hands on the ground and input spiritual energy at the same time.

"Tanlang thought he could avoid your old man's arrangement by letting an array master modify the array, hum!" The young man complimented the old man, "He simply doesn't know how wonderful the array you made back then is."

The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

The old man folded his hands in his sleeves, hummed, and did not answer.

The young man thought he had scratched the old man's itch, and even more a series of flattery, praised the old man's array as rare in the sky and unparalleled on the ground, so that the old man himself was a little embarrassed to hear it.

The old man actually knew very well that he could find here not by relying on the array. The array had been modified by an expert, and he had been modified without even noticing it. The array attainments of the expert who helped Wang Sheng modify the array were frighteningly high.

That is, the expert who changed the array did not expect that after stimulating the mask array, it would stimulate a material on the necklace, emitting an almost imperceptible smell that only a kind of small beast he raised could smell, otherwise, this old man himself might not be able to find Wang Sheng's whereabouts.

But now, it has been determined that Wang Sheng is in the village, and there are no experts around. There is only an inconspicuous old carver from the Heavenly Craftsman Workshop and a sloppy Taoist who lives in the village.

A great opportunity, Wang Sheng must not be allowed to escape again.
