Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 73 Zhang Yan: You have no idea how talented I am!
Mu Sen is from Mu Ling Peak, so naturally he is also a spirit plant master.

That is precisely why he made a more professional assessment of Zhang Yan's plant garden.

The cost of this plant garden must have been considerable.

What he envied most was that Zhang Yan's spirit plant garden contained not only ordinary first-tier spirit plants, but also other plants.

There are even four second-tier spiritual plants!

He could tell at a glance that these spiritual plants came from the sect leader's spiritual plant garden, and all he could do was feel envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Wait, how come you still have Qingxin Lotus here?!" Mu Sen's usually wooden face finally broke down.

Completely collapsed.

Pure Lotus!
This is a third-tier spiritual plant!
Moreover, it is considered an extremely rare existence among third-tier spiritual plants, and now it is planted in Zhang Yan's spiritual plant garden.

This……

"It's newly cultivated, it's still a long way from being mature." Zhang Yan chuckled, thinking that his senior brother Mu was making a big fuss over nothing!
It's just a third-tier spiritual plant!

"Newly cultivated?"
Did you breed them yourself?

Mu Sen felt like the sky had fallen. Had his junior brother become this powerful?

Am I not your guide?
How come you can directly cultivate third-tier spirit plants?!

This is too exaggerated!

"Senior brother, the reason I called you over is that the sect wants me to cultivate ten first-grade high-quality spiritual plants and one second-grade spiritual plant. But I feel that cultivating first-grade high-quality spiritual plants is not very useful. I might as well cultivate ten second-grade high-quality spiritual plants instead. But I can't handle it by myself, so I need your help."

Generally speaking, sect missions do not allow others to help, except for intelligence gathering when hunting monsters.

And assisting in the cultivation of spiritual plants is possible, since the entire process can be recorded using a recording stone.

"Why would the sect allow you to cultivate spiritual plants?"
"If you're going to look for someone, you should look for us Foundation Establishment stage spirit plant masters!" Mu Sen said, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just a test for my true disciples," Zhang Yan said casually.

"Click~"

A sapling in Musen's hand suddenly broke.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yan felt a pang of heartache; these saplings cost money too!
"What did you say? The true disciple assessment? You're going to become a true disciple???" Mu Sen felt bitter. He remembered that not long ago, he was still guiding Zhang Yan in cultivating magic, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to become a true disciple!
What a joke!
A true disciple! Once Zhang Yan becomes a true disciple, won't I have to call him "senior brother"?
This……

It’s really contrary to Tiangang!

……

Ten second-tier spiritual plants are not so easy to cultivate. Even with Mu Sen as his assistant, it will still take Zhang Yan some time.

So while cultivating spiritual plants, Zhang Yan didn't idle around. Instead, he first went to visit the Golden Core cultivators within the sect.

The first person they visited was none other than Lei Kunhai.

Zhang Yan was also very familiar with Qianbao Peak, where Lei Kunhai was located.

He used to come here to have his spirit stones cut when he was earning them. Now that he thinks about it, it was quite interesting.

When he arrived at the entrance of Qianbao Peak, a female cultivator let out a soft "Eh," then stepped forward and said, "Junior brother, it's been a long time. Are you still going to get the stone cut?"

"So it's Senior Sister Zhao. I'm not here to have the stone cut, but to pay my respects to the Peak Master."

This Senior Sister Zhao is none other than the senior sister who was in charge of receiving Zhang Yan when he came to have the stone cut.

I just didn't expect it to be such a long time since we last met.

The other party is still cutting the stone here.

"You want to see the Peak Master?" Senior Sister Zhao was startled when she heard Zhang Yan's words. The Peak Master was a Golden Core cultivator, not someone you could just see whenever you wanted.

"Yes, Master Lei, you should have known this already."

"Please inform them, Senior Sister, that Zhang Yan from Muling Peak has come to pay his respects to Master Lei Feng."

"Alright, please wait a moment, junior brother." After saying that, Senior Sister Zhao hurriedly went inside to inform them.

Not long after, she came out with a complicated expression and respectfully said, "Senior brother, the peak master invites you."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Zhang Yan didn't care about the other party's attitude. Now that his cultivation was strong, it was only natural for the other party to be cautious.

Upon entering Qianbao Peak, Zhang Yan arrived at a cave dwelling.

This is Lei Kunhai's cave dwelling.

However, the cave entrance was tightly closed, and it seemed that he wasn't very welcoming.

Zhang Yan didn't care at all, and instead respectfully said, "Disciple Zhang Yan has come to pay his respects to Master Lei Feng."

As Zhang Yan finished speaking.

With a creak, the cave door opened wide, and a burly young man walked out.

The young man was good-looking, but for some reason, his face was bruised and swollen, making him look quite miserable.

Moreover, for some reason, Zhang Yan always felt that the other person was looking at him strangely, as if he were looking at his father's killer.

"You are Zhang Yan!"

The young man asked through gritted teeth.

"My name is Zhang Yan. May I ask how you should address me, Senior Brother?" Zhang Yan noticed that the other party was at the Foundation Establishment stage, especially since he was covered in treasures.

Knowing that he was someone of great importance, they quickly bowed.

"Lei Wanbao, come in with me. Your great-grandfather wants to see you." Lei Wanbao glared at Zhang Yan fiercely.

He really wanted to know what was so special about this kid that made his great-grandfather, who had always doted on him, beat him up.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Zhang Yan quickly followed the other person inside. Lei Kunhai's cave was different from Zhuge Wan's and Mo Changqing's caves; his cave was characterized by its ruggedness and luxury.

Although the decoration is very primitive.

However, the cave contained all kinds of gems, pearls, and magical artifacts.

Upon entering the cave, Zhang Yan immediately saw an elderly man, even more robust than Lei Wanbao, sitting cross-legged on a futon.

"Disciple Zhang Yan pays respects to Master Lei Feng."

Zhang Yan bowed.

Lei Kunhai, however, remained motionless, staring at the table in front of him.

On the table are several pieces of high-quality raw stones.

Lei Kunhai frowned, clearly stumped by these few rough stones.

"I think the rough stone on the left is quite good." He thought of how Zhuge Wan had told him to perform well before they came out.

Zhang Yan also spoke without hesitation.

"Um?

"This piece on the left has cracks, making it difficult to retain spiritual energy. Tell me, why did you choose this piece on the left?" Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Lei Kunhai raised his head, his imposing aura resembling that of a majestic lion.

"I believe that although the rough stone on the left has cracks, the cracks are not deep, the outer layer is still in good condition, and there is a faint luster. There should be something inside." Zhang Yan had worked at the stone-cutting site for quite some time and had done considerable research on stone shavings.

Okay, actually it was an entry that came with the stone-cutting artifact back then.

He figured it out himself.

“Alright, let’s take a look.” Lei Kunhai said, using his hand as a knife to cut open the entire raw stone.

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded by what he saw.

You should know that stone cutting is a highly skilled job; otherwise, Qianbao Peak wouldn't specifically recruit disciples and equip them with the corresponding magical artifacts.

Even if a disciple has magical tools, he can only carefully chisel them without having entered the sect.

Lei Kunhai actually used his bare hands to cut the stone, which can only be described as terrifying.

As the raw stone was cut open.

The contents inside were revealed, just as Zhang Yan had said; there were indeed treasures inside.

Unfortunately, it was just a cheap little trinket.

"You can appraise stones?" Seeing that something had been found inside the raw stone, Lei Kunhai seemed to feel a little better.

"I know a tiny bit."

Zhang Yan nodded slightly.

"Indeed, Zhuge Wan has taken on a good disciple. However, she said you have mastered four spells. I wonder if that's true or not?"

"Please enlighten me, Master Lei Feng." Zhang Yan said, casting several spells, all of which were at the perfect level.

"Truly, all four spells are perfected!" After seeing Zhang Yan finish his spell performance, Lei Kunhai fell silent. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Lei Wanbao, who was equally shocked. The anger that had just been suppressed suddenly rose again.

"What are you looking at? If you were half as good as them, that would be enough!"

How could I have such a stupid great-grandson?

As Lei Kunhai spoke, his palm, as large as a fan, landed on Lei Wanbao. Zhang Yan's lips twitched; he finally understood how Lei Wanbao had gotten his injuries.

After a round of punches and kicks.

Lei Kunhai calmly sat back down in front of Zhang Yan and said softly, "Not bad, you are indeed not bad. I agree to your promotion to a true disciple."

However, you will have to come with me to the Ancient Battlefield. There are many raw stones there, and we need to collect a batch.

"And don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the rewards," Lei Kunhai said to Zhang Yan.

"I will obey whatever Lord Lei commands." Looking at Lei Wanbao, who had been beaten and had bumps all over his head, Zhang Yan felt that he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, what kind of reward do you want?" Lei Kunhai was a straightforward person and didn't like people who were indecisive.

I am very satisfied to see that Zhang Yan is so sensible.

"Reporting to Peak Master, I have long heard that the weapon-refining techniques of Thousand Treasures Peak are renowned, so I would like to learn some of these techniques."

Zhang Yan was not polite at all in this regard.

"Ok?"

"Weapon refining?"

"You want to learn weapon crafting?"

Looking at Zhang Yan's serious expression, Lei Kunhai asked with some surprise, "Aren't you a spirit plant master?"

"Who said a spirit plant master can't be a weapon refiner?" Zhang Yan was also a little puzzled. Was there such a rule in the cultivation world?
No, not at all.

However, crafting weapons requires talent, and I don't know if you have that talent.

"But since I already promised you, here's what I'll do: I have a weapon-refining manual here that you can study. If you can glean anything from it, I wouldn't mind teaching you weapon refining."

As Lei Kunhai spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Yan.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lei Feng!" Zhang Yan accepted the jade slip and then checked its attributes.

[Equipment Name]: Refining Manual
[Equipment Level]: None

[Equipment Quality]: Purple
[Equipment Effect]: Flying sword crafting mastery, shield-type magic weapon crafting mastery, hammer-type magic weapon crafting minor mastery, crafting experience +40%.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lei. I will certainly not let you down!" Zhang Yan smiled upon seeing the attributes of the jade slip.
