Chapter 360 The Fallen Weapon Master! He Can Comprehend the Dao Again!
Tie Shizi had barely finished speaking.
An astonishingly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the cave dwelling behind the sect!
The next second, an old man with white hair, a withered face, a shriveled body, and wearing a gray robe appeared out of thin air!
"Greetings, Ancestor Qingyang!" Tie Shizi was taken aback, then immediately knelt down!
"More than two hundred years..." The voice of the Qingyang Ancestor, who exuded a decaying odor, was hoarse and dry.
"Unbeknownst to me, I've lived for over nine hundred years, yet I still haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage..."
Upon hearing this, Tie Shizi felt a surge of sorrow welling up in his heart.
More than two hundred years ago, after the passing of another ancestor, the Qingyang Patriarch successfully broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, becoming a powerful figure in the eight sects.
This meant that even though the Weapon Sect only had two Nascent Soul cultivators left, it was still incredibly powerful and no one dared to provoke it!
However, two hundred years later, the Weaponry Sect is facing a talent shortage.
Whether they are Foundation Establishment stage prodigies or Core Formation cultivators, they are extremely rare.
To this day, there is only one Core Formation cultivator in the Weaponry Sect: Tie Shizi.
Thinking about all this, he felt a sense of helplessness.
"You are...Tie Shizi, aren't you?" Just then, the Qingyang Patriarch turned around:
"I don't have much time left... What happened to the sect?"
"Ancestor... let it go." Tie Shizi sighed.
"You're nearing your end... Why don't we let the Second Ancestor come out of seclusion? You can just rest in the sect."
"That kid Qingchun..." the Qingyang Ancestor sighed.
"He went mad with qi over a hundred years ago and died in meditation!"
What?
The Second Ancestor is dead!
The sudden bad news left Tie Shizi dumbfounded.
His face was filled with disbelief, and for a moment he said with a touch of sadness:
"Does that mean... my Weapon Sect is doomed?"
"Cultivating immortality for a thousand years..." Ancestor Qingyang chuckled.
"It's all just a passing cloud... Tell me, the patriarch also wants to go down the mountain to take a look and resolve this matter while he's at it... From now on, the sect will depend on you..."
"Ancestor..." Tie Shizi gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes, his heart filled with sorrow...
……
The night passed quickly.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan, who was meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes.
With a calm expression, he glanced at the commotion ahead, then stretched his back.
Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds, similar to popping beans, erupted from his entire body!
Chen Fan exhaled a breath of stale air, smiled, and then climbed into the bowl.
Ground.
Old Huang glanced at Qingxiazi, who was bent over planting, and his mouth watered involuntarily.
Especially after seeing its perfectly round shape, I felt a surge of excitement.
This made Zhu Ping and Ling Hengzi, who were standing nearby, scoff in disdain!
"Old Huang, your eyes are too evil... watch out, you might get beaten up!"
"When our master arrives, we'll vote to let you leave!"
The old man with a thousand insects turned a deaf ear to their banter.
His gaze fell on Qingxiazi, and his eyes were full of affection!
"You're still looking! Believe me or not, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Sensing something was wrong, Qingxiazi straightened up!
With a furrowed brow, a terrifying aura erupted from her body!
Old Huang gave an awkward smile and could only turn around dejectedly to continue farming!
"I'm busy..."
While the group was bickering, Chen Fan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He glanced at the group of people in the field and quickly asked:
"Do you remember how long it's been since we last visited?"
"Reporting to Master..." Ling Huanzi replied:
"Ten days have passed!"
Ten days?
Hearing this, Chen Fan was overjoyed!
A smile involuntarily spread across his face as he spoke softly:
"It used to take two days... now it takes ten days. A year of cultivation inside the bowl is equivalent to at most a month in the outside world... How wonderful!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
Chen Fan couldn't wait to run towards the location of the Enlightenment Stele!
This left the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Beneath the Enlightenment Stele.
Big Black Dog, Little Flower, and Black Wind are fast asleep here.
Qingyunzi was standing nearby, fanning the sun and providing shade.
As Chen Fan approached, the three lazybones opened their eyes at the same time.
It is faintly visible that ever since they discovered the wonders of the Enlightenment Stele, they have come to seek enlightenment every day.
However, over time, the Enlightenment Stele stopped working for them!
Even so, Xiao Hua and Hei Feng's cultivation levels have both broken through to the seventh level of demon beasts, comparable to human cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage!
The big black dog is even more exaggerated. With the support of Nan Yunzi's Nascent Soul, his cultivation has now broken through to the peak of the seventh level!
He's only one step away from breaking through to the eighth level of demon beast!
"What's the old eunuch doing here?" Little Flower asked, licking her paw.
"I have a bad feeling... I'll go first!"
"What's so scary!" the big black dog scoffed.
"He can eat you all?"
Black Wind remained silent.
Recalling its experiences in the palace those past few days, it took off galloping away!
When Chen Fan arrived at the Enlightenment Stele, only the big black dog remained!
A eunuch and a dog stared at each other, their expressions quite different!
"Busy..." Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
"Why should I!" the big black dog retorted defiantly.
"This is the Black King's territory, no way!"
Clang!
Chen Fan was too lazy to waste words.
Faced with this mangy dog, he immediately drew his sword!
The big black dog was so frightened that it immediately rode Qingyunzi away and fled into the distance!
Not forgetting to turn back, it burst into a tirade:
"Old eunuch...you have no martial ethics...I'll settle accounts with you after I, the Black Emperor, break through to the eighth level of demonic beast!"
Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
Too lazy to bother with this guy, he followed him to the Enlightenment Stele.
Upon closer inspection, the stone tablet was no different from before.
However, Chen Fan knew very well that the stone tablet would definitely change after the golden bowl swallowed the fire spirit!
As for where the changes lie, he still doesn't know.
Without thinking twice, Chen Fan immediately placed his hand on the stone tablet!
Buzz!
The next second, a booming sound of the Dao immediately rang in his ears!
The moment he heard the noise, Chen Fan was overjoyed!
With a smile playing on his lips, he immediately sat cross-legged and entered a state of enlightenment!
An hour passed, and Chen Fan slightly opened his eyes.
With a smile on his face, he said softly:
"Weapon crafting..."
Chen Fan vaguely remembered that during his two previous enlightenments, he had comprehended formations, alchemy, and puppetry, respectively.
But this time, what he comprehended was weapon crafting!
As he muttered to himself, he suddenly felt a huge amount of weapon-refining experience appear in his mind!
Compared to the weapon-refining techniques he learned from Zhu Ping, this weapon-refining experience was undoubtedly far superior!
Chen Fan smiled, his heart pounding with excitement, and then placed his hand on the stone tablet again.
Just like before, the stone tablet did not react at all!
"We'll come back in three days..."
Chen Fan smiled with narrowed eyes, and then vanished in a flash.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to the cave.
Looking back on his trip to the Weapon Sect, he felt he had gained a great deal.
Chen Fan, who was also heading to the Qingyun Sect, naturally had to set off!
And so, he leisurely walked out of the cave step by step!
……
A day later.
Dongji County, South Korea.
Tired from walking, Chen Fan found a tavern, ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine, and sat down.
He sipped his drink, his face remaining calm.
As he was observing the everyday life around him, an elderly man with white hair and a cane appeared before him and said:
"Young man...is anyone sitting here?"
