Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Although the Crimson Heavenly Lord said this was the last lecture.

But he did not turn a blind eye because of this.

On the contrary, they became even more dedicated and responsible.

They talked about a lot of things.

He talked for seven days and seven nights straight.

The meeting only ended after all the questions had been answered.

"Oh, what a pity."

"It will be difficult to continue learning from the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord in the future."

As they were leaving, someone sighed with emotion.

Among all the Heavenly Lords in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Chi Lian Tian Jun is considered to have a relatively good temper.

Especially when it comes to weapon crafting, he never goes easy on anyone.

It is precisely because of this.

That's why he is loved and respected by so many people.

He doesn't teach anymore.

It's a pity.

I hope to have the opportunity to learn from them again in the future.

After everyone else had left, Crimson Heavenly Lord kept Zhang Yan and Huang Lian behind.

“Starting tomorrow, you two will come to me every day to report for duty. I will teach you some special weapon-refining techniques.”

He looked at the two of them and said softly.

"Yes."

Upon hearing what Crimson Heavenly Lord said, the two nodded quickly.

Simultaneously.

Huang Lian's feelings were also somewhat complicated.

He doesn't know how to express his feelings right now.

Normally, after being repeatedly humiliated by Zhang Yan, he should be furious and try every means to kill Zhang Yan.

but!

Actually.

Even if he did have that idea, he wouldn't dare to.

joke.

This is Zhang Yan!

The apple of the Emperor's eye.

They have the potential to become disciples of the Pavilion Master.

Kill him yourself?
Isn't that a joke?
Huang Lian didn't know if he could kill him, but he was certain that once he made a move, his family would be wiped out.

Don't say that a dead genius isn't a genius.

No one would go against their family for the sake of a dead person.

That's utter nonsense.

In order for the organization to continue, they will absolutely wipe out Huang Lian's family completely as a warning to others.

Otherwise, one genius will be killed off as another genius is killed.

How can the sect develop under such circumstances?

To know.

In the world of cultivation, genius is the primary productive force.

Geniuses are the guarantee for the continuation of a sect.

Without genius, no matter how much else you have, it's useless.

Therefore, if you try to harm the geniuses within a sect, you are digging up the very foundation of the sect, leading to a situation where the sect and you are locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Moreover, is it necessary for a sect that can't even protect its own geniuses to stay here any longer?

Will anyone else join this sect?
The results are obvious.

Therefore, even though Huang Lian truly hated Zhang Yan to the core, he dared not lay a hand on him.

besides……

Huang Lian didn't feel any hatred towards Zhang Yan.

After all.

His conflict with Zhang Yan was nothing more than a dispute over weapon crafting.

During the arena, he felt that Zhang Yan had won by resorting to underhanded tactics, which he considered an insult to weapon crafting and a trampling on his dignity.

but now……

Zhang Yan has already proven his strength with his own abilities.

Huang Lian was completely convinced of his skill in weapon crafting.

There's not much to say.

I'm convinced.

Most importantly, Huang Lian also enjoyed some benefits because of Zhang Yan.

For example...

Although he was a disciple of the Crimson Heavenly Lord before, he could only find him when there was a problem.

When the other person has free time, I will teach him a little.

However, with Zhang Yan's arrival, it's clear that the Crimson Heavenly Lord is ready to properly instruct them at any time.

I teach every day.

These conditions are many times more stringent than before.

and so……

If that's the case, then he should thank Zhang Yan.

"Sigh, never mind, let's talk about it later." Huang Lian sighed, unsure how to express himself.

So after thinking about it, I decided to talk about it later.

He had already made up his mind not to provoke Zhang Yan.

After all, the opponent seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and he can no longer deal with them.

Think of this.

He quickly straightened his Taoist robe and then said to Zhang Yan, "I hope to receive guidance from Junior Brother Zhang in the future."

"You're too kind, Senior Brother Huang."

Zhang Yan was somewhat surprised to see Huang Lian being so cooperative. He had originally thought that all the cultivators in the Upper Realm were somewhat arrogant.

But I never expected it.

Huang Lian was actually able to put aside his arrogance.

of course.

This is also related to his own strong abilities.

If it were someone else, Huang Lian might not have been so polite.

However, on the other hand, one must be strong to succeed. If you don't have the strength, people naturally won't respect you.

"Alright, come early tomorrow. Today, it's up to you whether you go back or stay in my secret realm."

Crimson Heavenly Lord waved his hand gently and spoke to the two of them.

"it is good!"

The two nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

They themselves naturally had no objection to what the Crimson Heavenly Lord said.

and.

Since the Crimson Heavenly Lord has spoken...

The two of them naturally wouldn't leave.

joke.

The spiritual energy here at Chi Lian Tian Jun's place is much richer than that in their cave.

Being able to cultivate here is something they have longed for.

There is.

This is ultimately the place where the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord resides.

From now on, whether it's seeking help from the Heavenly Lord or refining magical artifacts, it will be much more convenient than other places.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhang Yan and Huang Lian tacitly chose to reside in the secret realm of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

And before leaving.

Huang Lian glanced at Zhang Yan with a complicated expression.

He has been a disciple of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord for so long, yet he has not been granted the right to reside in the secret realm.

Now Zhang Yanyi has arrived.

The paper plate carried him to heaven.

"Is this what they mean by 'when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'?"

For some reason, this word popped into Huang Lian's mind.

Of course.

He doesn't acknowledge himself as a chicken or a dog.

He was, after all, a talented weapon refiner.

even……

Before Zhang Yan appeared, he was the leading figure of the younger generation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

However, with the appearance of Zhang Yan, his role as the leader seemed somewhat ridiculous.

But even so.

It's not fair to say he's weak or lacks talent.

Quite the opposite.

He is extremely talented.

only……

He encountered an even more perverted Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's talent is beyond what strength alone can explain.

It can only be described as perverted.

Incomprehensible.

He's no ordinary person! Sometimes, Huang Lian even wondered if Zhang Yan was actually faking it.

He was neither a beginner in the early stages of the Golden Core realm nor a newly initiated cultivator; he was an old monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time.

And his studies.

It's not really about studying.

It's something I already knew.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Zhang Yan would have such an ability.

This is outrageous!
……

However, he quickly shook his head.

I feel like I'm just daydreaming.

But he also knew that, for whatever reason, he should actually cling to Zhang Yan's coattails.

He is not a fool.

Although he was very arrogant before.

But now that he has witnessed Zhang Yan's abilities, he feels he needs to examine his own relationship with the other party.

then……

That night.

Zhang Yan has not yet begun his cultivation.

Then there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Huang Lian standing in front of him.

"Senior Brother Huang?" Zhang Yan looked at the other person with some surprise. He never expected that the other person would come to find him.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I have a jar of fine wine here. Would you mind having a drink with me?"

Huang Lian smiled and asked him a question.

"it is good."

After glancing at Huang Lian, Zhang Yan agreed to the other party's request without any hesitation.

Then the two of them found a place, set up a table, and started drinking.

The food on the table was also prepared in advance by Huang Lian.

These are all very rare spiritual materials.

Just this one table.

It would take at least 100,000 spirit stones to make it.

Therefore, the other party gave him a lot of face.

As the two exchanged toasts, their previously cold relationship began to thaw.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I hope you won't hold it against me for offending you in the past." Huang Lian apologized to Zhang Yan while downing the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Senior Brother Huang, you're too kind. I was rather rash before and didn't give you enough respect."

Seeing that the other party said that.

Zhang Yan naturally couldn't refuse them face.

He spoke in a very flattering tone.

“From now on, we’re brothers. If there’s anything I, Huang Lian, can do to help, Junior Brother Zhang, just ask and I’ll do my best.”

Huang Lian said sincerely to Zhang Yan.

"By the way, I remember that Junior Brother Zhang ascended from the lower realm. I suppose he doesn't have any assets in the upper realm. Now that you've recognized me as your senior brother, I, as your senior brother, will also give you a gift."

As Huang Lian spoke, he took out a spirit contract from his sleeve.

It was handed over.

"This is……"

Upon seeing the spirit contract handed over by the other party, Zhang Yan spoke with some surprise.

"These are two shops in the Divine Weapon Pavilion market. Junior brother has just arrived in the Upper Realm and probably doesn't have much wealth. However, cultivation is not easy. In addition to talent, it also requires a lot of resources. Although my talent is not as good as yours, my family has considerable influence. This is my gift to you."

Huang Lian spoke lightly.

"This is far too valuable!"

Seeing that the other party had given away two shops, they realized that the other party had made a move.

Zhang Yan shouldn't be too surprised.

Although this guy came to ask him for a drink, it revealed that he wanted to win him over.

But I never expected them to be so generous!
Two shops!

This value is immeasurable!

After all, this wasn't just money; it was two gold mines.

Every year, Zhang Yan will receive a continuous stream of resources.

It is something that cannot be more precious than anything else.

"Sigh, Junior Brother Zhang, it would be too polite to say it's precious. Both of them are from the same sect, so I won't make any empty promises."

While drinking, Huang Lian looked at Zhang Yan seriously and said, "To be honest, you are a rising star in the sect now. It's just that the news hasn't spread yet. Otherwise, if others knew that you might become the sect leader's disciple, I wouldn't even have to give you gifts!"

"My two shops won't be presentable then."

Huang Lian speaks very directly.

And that's exactly what happened.

The identity of being the disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is of immeasurable value.

If nothing else...

Even if Zhang Yan has only a slight chance of becoming the disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, it would still be worth the two shops.

Just as Huang Lian said.

That's why the news didn't get out.

He is currently in the secret realm of the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

Otherwise, it would have been packed with people giving gifts by now.

"Hahaha!"

"Senior Brother Huang Lian is really straightforward!"

Zhang Yan chuckled and said to Huang Lian.

"It's not about being straightforward or not. When dealing with geniuses, it's better to be direct and say what you mean. There's no point in beating around the bush."

Huang Lian waved his hand and said, "Even if I don't say these things, you will find out later. I expect that it will make you hate me then, so I might as well just bring up the issues directly and say what I mean."

"It would be best if it worked out, but if it doesn't, we can still be friends."

"Then, I wonder what Senior Brother Huang wants me to do?"

Zhang Yan nodded in deep agreement upon hearing the other party's words.

"Our Huang family needs your friendship."

"Need my friendship?"

"So simple?"

"Just two shops, it's that simple!"

Huang Lian laughed and said, "Actually, I would like to give you more in exchange for more things, but unfortunately..."

"First, too much of a good thing can be bad. Second, although I am the young master of the Huang family, I am not the head of the family and cannot control the family's resources."

"Otherwise, I'll definitely bet everything on you."

Huang Lian spoke calmly.

"You're so confident in me?"

Zhang Yan was surprised when he heard what the other person said.

The other party is far too confident in him.

"Of course I have confidence in you, and I have great confidence in myself, but you are more than ten times better than me. If I don't even believe you, then I might as well go home and work as a blacksmith."

Huang Lian's words left Zhang Yan speechless.

This guy……

They were clearly complimenting him, but they didn't forget to elevate themselves as well.

"Alright, then I'll take these two shops."

That's what they said.

Zhang Yan naturally didn't refuse any longer and accepted the spirit contract directly.

"That's right, let's drink!"

Seeing Zhang Yan accept the gifts, Huang Lian's eyes showed a hint of relief.

……

This day.

Zhang Yan drank with the other party until midnight.

Fortunately, they were all cultivators.

After Huang Lian left, Zhang Yan's flushed, drunken face instantly returned to normal.

He took out the two spirit contracts and smiled gently.

have to say.

The other person is quite interesting.

At the very least, they know when to advance and when to retreat.

……

The next day.

Zhang Yan and Huang Lian arrived together at the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord's forging room.

at this time.

Crimson Heavenly Lord was already waiting here.

“Starting today, I will teach you weapon crafting. I already have a general idea of ​​your weapon crafting levels. To be honest, the difference between your levels is not that great, so I hope that you two can improve together in the future.”

Seeing that the tension between Zhang Yan and Huang Lian had eased, Crimson Heavenly Lord knew that the two must have talked.

That's why I said it that way.

"That's natural. We will definitely work together and make progress together."

Zhang Yan said it with absolute certainty.

however……

That was on that very day.

Huang Lian's face showed a resentful expression.

We agreed to improve together!!! (End of Chapter)
