Inside the mountain, there is a large platform.
Piles of precious materials rarely seen outside the world were scattered everywhere. In the very center of the platform, a black gourd about three meters tall was spewing flames—all the cosmic energy absorbed by the entire Craftsman God Star was transformed into this pure flame. Even Universe Overlord would be instantly incinerated if it entered.
This is where the Master of Craftsman God secluded himself to refine weapons.
Lu Qingshan withdrew his gaze from the black gourd, turned to look at the Master of Craftsman God who had come with him, his gaze slightly darkening, and said, " Master of Craftsman God, I gave you face outside because there were many people, but now that we're here, don't you explain to me why my disciple disappeared upon arriving at your Craftsman God Star?"
"Really!!"
The Master of Craftsman God guessed immediately that this was the matter. He dared not offend the Lord of Myriad Laws, but he dared not offend the Sitting Mountain Guest even more. He asked, "May I ask which disciple the Lord of Myriad Laws is referring to?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Do you expect me to personally Reverse Time and Space before you'll admit it? I know my disciple's strength perfectly well. If you hadn't intervened, no one else on Craftsman God Star could have made him disappear!"
Lu Qingshan walked towards the Master of Craftsman God. The immense pressure he exerted caused the Master of Craftsman God to involuntarily take a few steps back.
If this weren't his Palace Supreme Treasure the Craftsman God Star, he would have already asked the Sitting Mountain Guest for help.
If this were outside, the Lord of Myriad Laws could probably kill him in a single move!
" Master of Craftsman God, don't try to fool me. You must give me an explanation for this!"
" Myriad Laws — Lord of Myriad Laws— " A struggle flashed in the eyes of the Master of Craftsman God. He only wanted to focus on refining weapons and did not want to be at odds with the top clans. After hesitating for a moment, he said, " Lord of Myriad Laws, I cannot speak of this matter, but I can assure you that I have absolutely no intention of harming your disciple. For your disciple, this is definitely a good thing. Lord of Myriad Laws, there is no need to rush. Wait a few more days, and we will hear news of your disciple."
"You're just making empty promises; why should I believe you?"
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, if your disciple perishes, I am willing to bear the full cost of his resurrection, and I will also bear the loss of Supreme Treasure he may have lost. Is that acceptable?"
"The Master of Craftsman God said through gritted teeth."
Although he knew it was a test from the Sitting Mountain Guest, he was unsure whether Luo Feng would encounter any danger. However, the Sitting Mountain Guest had been of great help to him, and even if the Master of Craftsman God had to bear the consequences himself, he did not want to reveal the identity of the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Bear the consequences—that's easy for you to say, but it seems you truly have no intention of harming my disciple."
Lu Qingshan knew what was going on, but he was just trying to scare the Master of Craftsman God. Moreover, the price of Luo Feng's death was something he couldn't afford to pay. He couldn't afford to compensate for any of the Star Tower's Tower Pearl or the Tribulation Armor. If Luo Feng had completely perished, the unique Nine Tribulations Secret Manual would have disappeared, and the Master of Craftsman God would have had to pay with his life.
However, it is clear that the Master of Craftsman God is unaware of these things.
" Master of Craftsman God, no matter what you say, you have to compensate me for attacking my disciple."
Lu Qingshan's gaze fell on the black gourd, which was about three meters tall, and he said, "Your gourd is quite interesting. Give it to me as compensation."
"No!"
The Master of Craftsman God was greatly alarmed, but then realized that his reaction might have been too much. He explained, "That black gourd is an integral part of my Craftsman God Star. Separating it greatly reduces its power. Moreover, it contains many materials for my weapon crafting, and I need this gourd to assist me in crafting Supreme Treasure."
Seeing that the Lord of Myriad Laws did not seem angry, the Master of Craftsman God breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Besides this treasure and the Craftsman God Star, Lord of Myriad Laws needs any other treasures, I can compensate you."
"Other treasures—Hmph, I see you're not really sincere. Fine, then just forge me a set of kitchen utensils, Ordinary Supreme Treasure level will do—"
Lu Qingshan said, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.
Kitchenware?
The Master of Craftsman God was stunned.
As one of the top weapon-refining masters in the Primal Universe, he had accepted countless commissions from powerful figures and seen all sorts of bizarre requests. But crafting kitchen utensils of the Supreme Treasure level was something he had never heard of before.
Are kitchen utensils, which are just for cooking, really worth turning into Supreme Treasure?
"What, are you still making excuses?"
Lu Qingshan said coldly.
"No, no— Lord of Myriad Laws, your request is unusual, but it shouldn't be difficult for me. I'll begin forging now."
The Master of Craftsman God readily agreed, as crafting kitchen utensils was nothing to him. However, fearing that the Lord of Myriad Laws might be dissatisfied, he changed his request.
"Remember, I want a complete set. Don't just throw together a few random pieces to fool me," Lu Qingshan reminded him.
" Lord of Myriad Laws of Lord of Myriad Laws, rest assured, I will never cheat you. I guarantee it will be complete and of the highest quality. If you don't believe me, you can watch from the side."
The Master of Craftsman God quickly assured him.
As he spoke, the Master of Craftsman God took out a pile of ores of various colors. Under his control, the black gourd spewed out purple flames, which quickly melted the ores. When the ores were mixed together, the material became incredibly solid.
Under the skillful manipulation of the Master of Craftsman God, a hundred-meter-long Blade Embryo blank quickly and slowly took shape—once the fiery red Blade Embryo was formed, the Master of Craftsman God took it to a huge cutting board and began to hammer it!
Ding ding ding!!
The crisp sound echoed throughout the valley.
Lu Qingshan watched as the Master of Craftsman God forged kitchen utensils, inwardly assessing the process. Forging weapons seemed simple, but every step required meticulous attention to detail; otherwise, the weapons would have to be melted down and reforged, a complete waste of effort. Clearly, given the Master of Craftsman God's reputation, there would be no room for error in such matters.
One year later.
The Blade Embryo was then fully formed.
Next comes polishing and engraving the Law Secret Patterns —this is also the key to creating Supreme Treasure.
Normally, when the Master of Craftsman God is forging Supreme Treasure, his disciples are not allowed to watch at will. Only a few of his most core disciples occasionally have the opportunity to come and assist him and learn from him. But at this moment, the Master of Craftsman God personally explains each step of the forging process to Lu Qingshan, as if to tell him that he is not being perfunctory.
Lu Qingshan was also happily studying.
Seeing him inscribe those Supreme Treasure secret patterns, he felt that it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
With Lu Qingshan's Law Comprehension, inscribing the Law Secret Patterns is naturally simple—however, as Universe Overlord and Universe Venerable, he has not fully comprehended Time-Space and time, Law Comprehension is limited, so it is difficult for him to understand these secret patterns, and naturally he has no way to learn them.
This is why even the most skilled alchemists at the Universe Venerable level cannot forge Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
The refinement of treasures and the Law Comprehension are also closely related.
Approximately three years have passed.
The cleaver had just been forged by the Master of Craftsman God. After the final stroke was completed, the hundred-meter-long cleaver slowly shrank, eventually becoming the size of a palm.
"As expected, the first kitchen utensil is complete."
The Master of Craftsman God looked at his work with a satisfied expression—with his abilities, he could create the top-tier flying Palace Supreme Treasure, the Craftsman God Star, so this ordinary Supreme Treasure kitchen knife was naturally simple and effortless.
Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary Supreme Treasure. Since it came from his hands, it's naturally extraordinary, almost flawless, and it wouldn't be afraid even when facing High-grade Supreme Treasure weapons.
"How does the Lord of Myriad Laws feel?"
"The Master of Craftsman God asked expectantly."
Lu Qingshan picked up the kitchen knife, played with it for a while, then put it into his storage arm guard before saying, "It's just average, barely meets my requirements."
"Ahem." The Master of Craftsman God coughed twice. He had thought he could gain the approval of the Lord of Myriad Laws, but the evaluation he received was only mediocre. Apart from Master Sitting Mountain Guest, the Master of Craftsman God was already the number one weapon-refining master in the entire Primordial Universe.
If the Supreme Treasure kitchen knife he forged himself is decent, then wouldn't only a knife made by Master Sitting Mountain Guest be worthy of a good review?
Although the Sitting Mountain Guest did not accept him as a disciple, he had received instruction from the Sitting Mountain Guest, so he always regarded the Sitting Mountain Guest as his teacher and treated him with the respect due to a disciple.
"This Lord of Myriad Laws has absolutely no knowledge of treasure crafting, and probably can't tell the difference between this treasure and others, which is why he deliberately belittles it."
Although he thought this way, the Master of Craftsman God could only accept it. After all, he was inferior in strength and background, and someone else's disciple had even gone missing while he was here.
Although he was revered by countless powerful beings in the Primal Universe, and even the most elite clans would not easily attack him, the Lord of Myriad Laws had his own weakness—if Reverse Time and Space and the footage of his attack on Luo Feng were released, no one would speak up for him even if the Lord of Myriad Laws attacked him!
" Lord of Myriad Laws, shall I continue? Next, shall I forge a ladle?"
The Master of Craftsman God no longer worries about the evaluation.
"Hmm, your crafting method is too tedious. Is there any traditional crafting techniques I could learn to pass the time?"
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"Alright—" The Master of Craftsman God didn't want to be watched while he was refining weapons, so he took out a transparent crystal and said, "This is the foundational material for our Craftsman God Star Crafts lineage, and it should be enough for the Lord of Myriad Laws."
"How stingy."
Lu Qingshan muttered something and took the crystal.
The Master of Craftsman God explained, "Our Craftsman God Star has extremely high requirements for its direct disciples. The skills required are very complex. Only those who can forge Top-Tier Heavy Treasure of good quality or above can be considered to have laid a solid foundation and be able to access the subsequent inheritance."
"Okay, I can see for myself. You don't need to explain. Go do your thing!"
Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
He was already consciously reviewing these contents.
Although it's called the basics, as the Master of Craftsman God said, it's not really the basics. If you learn it all, you can become a master craftsman in other places.
For example, the Golden Eye Venerable, who is so famous and revered in the Ancestral God Religion, still has a long way to go in terms of what he has learned throughout his life and this foundation.
However, although this inheritance is comprehensive, it is not the most core inheritance of the Craftsman God Star. Other top-level weapon-refining masters may also be able to gather it, which is why the Master of Craftsman God gave it away without reservation.
If it is a true Core Inheritance, even a direct disciple must undergo countless trials, and ultimately only one person can be chosen to receive it.
There should only be one Craftsman God in the universe; any more would seem rather cheap.
