Dragon's Origin

Chapter 138: Super Expert (Part 1)

At the Heavenly Crafts Workshop in the capital, the old blacksmith was enlightened by a single sentence from Wang Sheng, and his long-stuck bottleneck was immediately broken through, instantly raising his realm. This was already a celebrated story within their small circle.

Why was Wang Sheng able to learn the basics of carving from Grandmaster Lu's disciple, a master of carving? Wasn't it because of Wang Sheng's favor in enlightening the old blacksmith?

But now, Wang Sheng clearly saw that Grandmaster Lu seemed to be starting this process as well.

Did it have to be so exaggerated? Did it have to be so dramatic? Again? Was it never going to end? Wang Sheng complained in his heart, but his hands didn't stop. He quickly cleared away the tables, chairs, wine, and dishes around Grandmaster Lu, then pulled the little teacher away to a safe distance.

Seeing that Grandmaster Lu was about to trigger a spiritual energy baptism, the surrounding objects were unsuitable, and being too close wasn't safe. Wang Sheng didn't care, but the little teacher was clearly still young and lacked cultivation, so he couldn't get too close. He hadn't completed his enlightenment and hadn't reached the first realm. The massive spiritual energy released during the spiritual energy baptism could also hurt him.

Just as he settled the little teacher, Wang Sheng suddenly felt something and turned his gaze in a certain direction, spotting the figure of the old Daoist Ling Xu.

Previously, Wang Sheng, the little teacher, and Grandmaster Lu had been eating together, with Grandmaster Lu also guiding the little teacher and, by the way, guiding Wang Sheng. In the end, this was Grandmaster Lu teaching his disciple, imparting his skills. At this time, no matter how close Grandmaster Lu and the old Daoist Ling Xu were, it wasn't appropriate for the old Daoist Ling Xu to be present.

But Grandmaster Lu suddenly triggered a spiritual energy baptism. Even if the old Daoist Ling Xu was more than half a kilometer away, he immediately sensed it and quickly rushed over. Not for anything else, but to help Grandmaster Lu protect him.

The only one who could trigger this level of spiritual energy baptism was Grandmaster Lu. The cultivation of the others in the village wasn't that great. Wang Sheng could be considered one of the most powerful, but Wang Sheng couldn't possibly cause such a big commotion.

Arriving and seeing that it was indeed Grandmaster Lu, the old Daoist Ling Xu didn't care about anything else. He quickly circled the area a few times, and after not finding any outsiders, he sat down at the wine table that Wang Sheng had already moved away and began to protect Grandmaster Lu.

After sitting down, the old Daoist Ling Xu beckoned to Wang Sheng. Without saying a word, Wang Sheng sent fine wine to the old Daoist with a smile. He also obediently sat at the wine table with the little teacher, just watching Grandmaster Lu's spiritual energy baptism.

Being so close, the massive spiritual energy would inevitably wash over Wang Sheng's body. But these were just a little bit of extra benefit. The real big benefit was the great favor that Wang Sheng's few words had given Grandmaster Lu to advance. This was a real favor that couldn't be taken away.

To put it bluntly, even if Wang Sheng used this favor to ask Grandmaster Lu to personally carve that giant statue of Laozi for him, Grandmaster Lu would definitely agree without hesitation.

But thinking about these things was still far away. Wang Sheng still honestly accompanied the old Daoist, drinking wine and waiting for Grandmaster Lu to complete his advancement.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng had experienced the scene when the old blacksmith advanced last time, so Wang Sheng didn't find it strange at all that Grandmaster Lu's spiritual energy baptism lasted for more than ten hours.

This time, Grandmaster Lu's advancement started from noon on the first day and lasted until the morning of the next day, a full eighteen hours. Judging from this point alone, Grandmaster Lu's cultivation seemed to be more advanced than the old blacksmith's.

As soon as he woke up from his advanced state, Grandmaster Lu saw the figures of Wang Sheng and the old Daoist Ling Xu. The little teacher was too young and couldn't hold on until midnight, so Wang Sheng had sent him home to sleep. Now only Wang Sheng and Ling Xu were waiting.

"Hey!" Grandmaster Lu's first sentence was self-deprecating: "I, the old man, was still guiding you, but before I could finish speaking, you guided me in turn. I'm ashamed, ashamed!"

These words were clearly addressed to Wang Sheng. Although there was no explicit expression of gratitude, the gratitude in his tone was very obvious. Some things didn't need to be said explicitly. At their level, they naturally knew what was going on.

"This is your own good fortune and has nothing to do with me," Wang Sheng hurriedly declined. He was just relaying the words of those great people from Earth, and he really didn't dare to say that he had contributed much.

But clearly Grandmaster Lu and the old Daoist Ling Xu didn't think so. The words came from Wang Sheng's mouth, so could the credit be given to someone else?

The three of them were all energetic, and then they continued to drink, as a celebration for Grandmaster Lu. While drinking and chatting, they naturally talked about the sentence that had enlightened Grandmaster Lu.

"It sounds a bit muddled and incomprehensible," the old Daoist Ling Xu commented unceremoniously, but then he changed his tone and began to praise it: "But if you think about it carefully, there is indeed a bit of truth in it."

"Not just a bit," Grandmaster Lu had advanced because of these few sentences, and his understanding was naturally the deepest. At this time, he retorted: "The more I think about it, the more flavorful it becomes. When I go back, I'll talk to those old buddies of mine, and maybe they'll have a chance to break through too."

Grandmaster Lu valued some things very much. After speaking, he didn't forget to turn to Wang Sheng's side: "Don't worry, even if I go back and talk about it, the favor will still be on your head."

"I just said it casually, please don't say that," What else could Wang Sheng say? He could only decline again.

"Your casual sentence saved me ten years of detours," Grandmaster Lu replied with a smile, but he didn't continue on this topic, presumably because he already had an idea.

Wang Sheng really didn't value this. Grandmaster Lu insisted on putting the favor on his head, and Wang Sheng wouldn't forcibly refuse. However, now Wang Sheng was curious about another question: "Grandmaster Lu, would you mind revealing your cultivation level?"

"Don't call me that, if you're willing, call me Old Lu," Grandmaster Lu didn't directly answer Wang Sheng's question, but instead started talking about the address with Wang Sheng: "As for me, I won't call you Little Killer in the future, how about that?"

"Okay, whatever," Wang Sheng never cared about the issue of address. What was such a big deal? Wang Sheng nodded directly without thinking.

"You asked about my cultivation, and I haven't paid attention to it for a long time," Grandmaster Lu smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Sheng and the old Daoist, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he said: "I wouldn't dare to be arrogant in front of the old Daoist. Just now, that was considered to have allowed me to step into the eighth realm!"

Pfft, Wang Sheng almost spat out the mouthful of wine he hadn't swallowed. An eighth-realm expert? In other words, Grandmaster Lu was already a seventh-realm expert when he was in the capital. Was he a super expert like the Shadow Old Eunuch and Hanbing Li?

"How do you guys cultivate?" Wang Sheng looked at Grandmaster Lu and the old Daoist, so envious that he was about to drool.
