Chapter 67: Tribulation Cultivation
The next day.
Wu Tao and Chen Yao came to the Anning Street store.
Chen Shan had already gotten up early and took a cloth to wipe the dust from the display windows and containers.
When Wu Tao first saw Chen Shan doing this, he quickly performed a few cleaning techniques, and the dust was gone from the entire shop, making it look brand new.
Chen Shan stopped Wu Tao at this time and told him that he just wanted to find something to do and stretch his muscles.
Hearing this, Wu Tao fell silent. He knew that Chen Shan was old. Even though he was an immortal cultivator, he was still like an ordinary old man when he reached the end of his life.
The body begins to weaken, and the realm begins to regress. The spiritual energy absorbed through practice can no longer restore this decline.
This is the law of heaven, natural elimination.
To cultivate immortality is to fight against this law of heaven and against natural elimination.
Now that Chen Shan said this, Wu Tao began to let him go.
Now the business has stabilized and entered a stage of steady flow. After a month of training, Chen Yao has become more and more proficient at entertaining casual cultivators who come in to buy magical instruments.
Except for meeting those casual cultivators who were very good at bargaining, Chen Yao was a little overwhelmed, but everything else was fine.
"Dad, I put breakfast here." Chen Yao put the food box on the table and went to the counter. The day's work began with accounting.
Wu Tao went over to take the cloth from Chen Shan's hand and began to wipe it like Chen Shan.
Chen Shan went aside to have breakfast.
After eating, the master and apprentice entered the weapon refining room.
After entering the refining room, Wu Tao showed joy on his face and said to Chen Shan: "Master, can I tell you something happy?"
"A happy event?" Chen Shan's eyes started to become cloudy, with a wave of confusion: "What happy event?"
"Master, I have drawn the combination restrictions of the first-level and sixth-level splitting lightsabers."
"What?"
Chen Shan thought he heard wrongly at first, but looking at Wu Tao's expression, it didn't look like he was faking it. A smile appeared on his old face in an instant, and he nodded repeatedly, saying: "Okay! Okay! Wu Tao, Master. I underestimated you time and time again..."
‘I hope that in my lifetime, I can see you grow to my height. ’ Chen Shan murmured in his heart.
"Master, take a look." Wu Tao took out the spirit board from the storage bag, with complete restrictions on the combination of light splitting swords engraved on it.
Chen Shan took it over, poured his spiritual energy into the spirit board, and then said: "Yes, the first engraving was successful. The aura circuit is even and there is no deviation at all. Those who don't know may think that this is the engraving done dozens or hundreds of times."
"Master, I plan to start refining the light splitting sword today." Wu Tao said.
"Are the spiritual materials ready?" Chen Shan asked.
Wu Tao shook his head and said: "These past few days, I have been focusing on practicing Xuanyuan's weapon refining techniques and practicing the light-splitting sword restraint. I have no time to go to the spiritual material shop to buy spiritual materials.
Chen Shan heard the words and said: "Let's go, I will take you to the spiritual materials shop to buy spiritual materials. That is the place where I always buy spiritual materials. I am very familiar with the store. I will take you there to make you familiar, so that you will not be fooled in the future. "
"Okay, Master." Wu Tao knew that Chen Shan was about to start passing on his connections and resources to him.
Networking is also an important part of establishing a foothold in the world of immortality.
"Ayao, keep an eye on the store. Wu Tao and I will go out and be back soon." Chen Shan told Chen Yao before going out.
"I know, dad." Chen Yao's voice sounded from the counter.
Wu Tao followed Chen Shan, walked out of Anning Street, came to Fenghua Street, and finally walked into a shop called 'Xinquan Spiritual Material Shop'.
At this time, the store happened to be in a gap period, and there were no casual cultivators coming to buy spiritual materials.
As soon as Chen Shan walked in, he clasped his fists at the middle-aged male casual cultivator wearing a purple robe at the counter and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you doing?"
Lin Xinquan paused for a moment to settle the accounts, looked up, with a smile on his face, walked out quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Master Chen Qi, long time no see, I heard that Master Chen has entered the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall to work, congratulations. "
"Who is this?" Lin Xinquan asked when seeing Wu Tao next to Chen Shan who looked like a younger generation.
Chen Shan smiled and said: "I just temporarily went to work for the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall... This is my disciple Li Mo, Li Mo, I haven't met Senior Lin yet."
Wu Tao quickly greeted him and said, "Junior has met Senior Lin."
Lin Xinquan clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect Master Chen to be a disciple after not seeing him for more than half a year... Yes, he has a strong smell of sparkling stone, and it seems that his weapon refining skills are not bad either."
He was in the spiritual materials business and had contact with many weapon refiners, so he naturally learned to know the weapon refiner's level by smelling the concentration of spark flint.
Wu Tao said modestly: "Senior Lin is so complimentary."
"Of course it's not bad." Chen Shan was quite proud. He said: "Friend Daoist Lin, I came here just to bring my disciple to recognize him. From now on, he will buy spiritual materials from your spiritual material shop. "Cai, you can't cheat him."
Lin Xinquan laughed and said, "I dare not cheat Master Chen Qi's beloved disciple."
"I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't keep buying spiritual materials from you..." Chen Shan said, then sighed and continued: "Friend Lin Dao, my fate is not far away, please ask me in the future, Lin Dao You can take good care of my apprentice..."
When Lin Xinquan heard this, he was silent. After a long while, he slowly said: "Master Chen has entrusted you with this, and you should do your best."
Immortal cultivators are both helpless and resigned to death.
The more I practice, the more I realize that destiny cannot be forced.
After buying the spiritual materials for refining the splitting sword, Wu Tao and Chen Shan left the Xinquan spiritual material shop. After leaving, Chen Shan said to Wu Tao: "Friend Lin is the best Taoist friend I have ever had in my life. He has a good character, and most importantly, he has the support of Wuquan Mountain... His ancestors were once inner disciples of Wuquan Mountain. Although their ancestors are no longer glorious, there is still some friendship."
"Master, I understand." Wu Tao said solemnly.
Chen Shan continued: "The most important thing is that after you refine the weapon to the ninth level of the first level, you must use the earth fire to break through to the second level. The earth fire is all controlled by Wuquan Mountain. You can borrow the earth fire from Wuquan Mountain by relying on the friendship of Fellow Daoist Lin..."
"As a second-level weapon refiner, Fellow Daoist Lin is also happy to do this favor. If you are recruited by the Wuquan Mountain Weapon Refining Hall, he will have a more stable backing in Wuquan Mountain."
"But then again, once you use this favor, even if you are involved with Fellow Daoist Lin, if something happens to Fellow Daoist Lin in the future, you will have to show up. I know that you are the most low-key and don't like trouble in your heart...
Hey...If I can hold on until you break through the second level, I don't need this favor from Fellow Daoist Lin. I know someone in the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall. It's just that this favor is shallow. I can still use it while I'm alive. Once I die, the favor will also disappear. "
Wu Tao listened to Chen Shan's detailed explanation and couldn't help but feel a sour nose. He choked and said, "Master..."
Chen Shan looked at Wu Tao and smiled, "It's just life and death, common things in the world. Even as strong as the foundation pill, there will be a day of old age and death, not to mention that I'm in the middle stage of Qi Refining, so there's no need to do this..."
"Boom..."
As he was talking, a magic light exploded in a magic weapon shop in front, and then there were screams and exclamations...
"It's a robbery repairman!"
"The robbery repairman robbed the magic weapon shop..."
...
