Qingshan Residence.
Two figures stood outside the manor gate; they were none other than Venerable Lei Ming and his disciple Tie Shan.
The Venerable Lei Ming was a burly man with a shiny bald head. He wore a brown battle armor and looked like an iron tower.
Tie Shan, standing beside him, was equally burly, with muscles in his arms appearing thicker than his thighs, and his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if containing some kind of special flame.
"Teacher, why has the Lord of Myriad Laws suddenly summoned us?"
Tie Shan asked somewhat nervously.
In his early years, he also visited the Lord of Myriad Laws in the Ganwu Secret Realm, but at that time, the Lord of Myriad Laws was still the Universe Venerable, and the pressure he faced was not as intense as it is now.
Now, the Lord of Myriad Laws has just defeated the Demon Race and sealed the Beast Ancestor, which can be said to have shaken the Primal Universe... As the personal disciple of the Universe Overlord, Venerable Lei Ming, Tie Shan naturally knew this news.
The more you learn, the more you realize how terrifying the Lord of Myriad Laws truly is.
Among the many great beings in the Human Race today, the Lord of Myriad Laws is second only to the Universe Supreme Master, the Giant Axe Founder. Even the Chaos City Lord cannot compare to the Lord of Myriad Laws.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws is a man of such status; there must be a reason why he summoned us."
"Don't be nervous, just remain respectful," Venerable Lei Ming said calmly with a smile.
"Yes."
Tie Shan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
At that moment, the manor gates slowly opened.
A gentle voice came from inside.
" Venerable Lei Ming, Tie Shan, come in."
Inside the manor, a waterfall cascades down, its waters gurgling softly.
Lu Qingshan sat in the pavilion, with two cups of tea on the stone table in front of him.
"Sit."
He smiled slightly and gestured for the two of them to sit down.
" Lord of Myriad Laws." Venerable Lei Ming bowed respectfully, then sat down to one side.
Tie Shan sat down as well, but his body was somewhat stiff.
" Venerable Lei Ming, you and my teacher Ganwu Country Lord, are good friends. You need not be so reserved in my presence."
Lu Qingshan picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"You're too kind Lord of Myriad Laws."
"I laugh," said Venerable Lei Ming.
" The Ganwu Country Lord is truly fortunate."
My teacher's kindness to me is immeasurable.
Lu Qingshan shook his head and looked at Tie Shan.
" Tie Shan, I heard you can forge True Treasure?"
Tie Shan was taken aback, then quickly nodded.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, this junior can indeed forge Ordinary Heavy Treasure, but the success rate is not very high. Compared to those master craftsmen, there is still a significant gap." "To be able to forge True Treasure at the Immortal God level is already quite impressive."
Lu Qingshan nodded approvingly.
"In the art of weapon crafting, talent is certainly important, but even more important is a passionate heart. You have good talent and a great passion for weapon crafting, which is very rare."
" The Lord of Myriad Laws flatters me."
Tie Shan was a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that the Lord of Myriad Laws had something to discuss with his teacher, and that he was just passing by. He didn't expect that the Lord of Myriad Laws would spend most of his time on him.
This made Tie Shan very uneasy, wondering what the Lord of Myriad Laws wanted to say.
However, Venerable Lei Ming, standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, his gaze burning with anticipation.
" Tie Shan, there's something I want to ask you."
After a moment, Lu Qingshan put down his teacup and spoke calmly.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, please speak."
"I've recently become somewhat interested in weapon crafting and would like to take on a Apprentice. Would you be willing to become my apprentice?" "What?!"
Tie Shan stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Venerable Lei Ming, standing to the side, had a gleam of excitement in his eyes. His guess was right; the Lord of Myriad Laws really was going to take Tie Shan as his disciple.
This... this is an opportunity that fell from the sky!
" Tie Shan, what are you standing there for?"
Venerable Lei Ming urged them on hastily.
Then he hurriedly transmitted his voice.
"Quickly become my disciple!"
He didn't have time to explain the reasons, he simply ordered Tie Shan to do it, fearing that Tie Shan would miss this tremendous opportunity if he hesitated.
The Lord of Myriad Laws, because of his interest in weapon crafting, decided to take on a disciple as a weapon crafting Apprentice... This was simply a stroke of luck.
If it weren't for the Lord of Myriad Laws, even if it were Iron Tie Shan or Venerable Lei Ming, they would want to ask the Lord of Myriad Laws if they were suitable!
He really wanted to! Urged on by his teacher, Venerable Lei Ming, Tie Shan finally realized what was happening and quickly got up and knelt on the ground.
"Disciple Tie Shan greets Master!"
"Get up."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan lifted up the Tie Shan.
"From this day forward, you are a disciple of my Myriad Laws Lineage. If you can maintain your passion for weapon crafting, I will surely be able to train you into a true master craftsman, surpassing even your teacher."
Lu Qingshan turned his head and glanced at Venerable Lei Ming beside him.
Venerable Lei Ming chuckled, "My meager skills are nothing special; they're just for showing off to human Venerable. With the Lord of Myriad Laws personally nurturing me, it's naturally easy for Tie Shan to surpass me."
With his disciple successfully becoming his disciple, Venerable Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with excitement.
With the connection to Tie Shan, he became even closer to the Lord of Myriad Laws.
" Venerable Lei Ming, there's no need to be modest. Your weapon-refining skills are top-notch even in the entire Hongmeng Alliance." Lu Qingshan didn't accept Lei Ming as his disciple not because he lacked ability, but because Lei Ming and the Ganwu Country Lord Ganwu Country Lord very good friends. Over the years, they had gone through life and death together on the Primal Star and could be considered sworn brothers.
If he were to accept Venerable Lei Ming as his disciple, then the relationship between Lei Ming and the Ganwu Country Lord would become strained.
Tie Shan's talent was also quite good, no less than that of Venerable Lei Ming, making him a suitable candidate to be Lu Qingshan's disciple. Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hand, took out a crystal-clear gemstone.
"This contains the Basic Inheritance of the Craftsman God Star, encompassing all knowledge from beginner to Top-Tier Heavy Treasure crafting. It was specially prepared by the Craftsman God Star for nurturing personal disciples."
Lu Qingshan handed the crystal to Tie Shan.
"This is something I obtained from the Master of Craftsman God when I was on the Craftsman God Star. Take it and study it carefully; it will greatly help your art of weapon crafting."
"The Legacy of the Craftsman God Star!"
Tie Shan accepted the crystal with both hands, his eyes filled with excitement.
Craftsman God Star, that's the holy land of weapon refiners in the Primal Universe!
To receive even the most basic inheritance from that place is something countless weapon refiners dream of!
Thank you, teacher!
Tie Shan was overjoyed and knelt down again.
"Get up."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "The way of weapon crafting emphasizes practice. Go back and study the inheritance first. If you encounter any doubts, then come and ask me."
"Disciple understands."
Tie Shan stood up respectfully.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple the Craftsman God Star Basic Inheritance of Tie Shan Craftsman, receiving a thousandfold return; you have obtained the " Artifact Refining Manual - Volume One "!]
A cashback notification sounded.
Lu Qingshan's heart stirred, and his consciousness swept across the golden finger space.
There, a thick metal book appeared, with its title written on the cover.
The Artifact Refining Manual - Volume One
"A weapon-refining manual, and the first volume at that!"
Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.
He knew that what was recorded here must be a more profound inheritance of the art of weapon crafting, but he didn't know which level the first volume, which promised a thousandfold return, was related to.
He didn't check immediately, but instead looked at Venerable Lei Ming and said, " Venerable Lei Ming, I'll trouble you to take good care of Tie Shan."
"Rest assured, Lord of Myriad Laws."
"I laugh," said Venerable Lei Ming.
"It is Tie Shan's good fortune to be able to become your disciple. I will definitely supervise his cultivation diligently."
This is also why Lu Qingshan had Venerable Lei Ming and Tie Shan come to pay their respects together. He didn't have time to supervise and guide Tie Shan's cultivation, but Venerable Lei Ming could help him solve these problems.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"The inheritance of that Craftsman God Star, although not very advanced, has a solid foundation and some novel aspects. Venerable Lei Ming can also take a look. It's getting late, you should go."
"Yes."
Venerable Lei Ming and Tie Shan bowed respectfully and then turned to leave Qingshan Residence.
Leaving Qingshan Residence, in the blink of an eye, Venerable Lei Ming brought Tie Shan back to his residence in Chaos City. Back at his residence,
The two were still deeply moved and unable to calm down.
For Tie Shan and Lei Ming, today's events were like a windfall.
"Master, Lord of Myriad Laws truly accepted me as his disciple?"
Tie Shan took out the crystal that represented the inheritance of the Craftsman God Star and spoke in disbelief.
"Of course it's true."
"I laugh," said Venerable Lei Ming.
"You're incredibly lucky, kid. You've actually been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Myriad Laws. This is an opportunity that countless Universe Venerable and Universe Overlord crave. You'd better work hard in the future and not let the Lord of Myriad Laws down."
"I certainly will!"
Tie Shan nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with determination.
"Yes, the Lord of Myriad Laws of Lord of Myriad Laws will pass on his legacy to you, but you mustn't bother him with every little thing. As for minor issues in your cultivation, I will guide you. Wait a few days, and I will borrow a Time House. Then, the two of us will leave the Initial Universe and focus on studying the Basic Inheritance of the Craftsman God Star. No matter what the Lord of Myriad Laws Lord of Myriad Laws are for accepting you as a disciple, you must work hard and make progress that satisfies him."
"From now on, I will devote all my time to studying weapon crafting," Tie Shan said firmly.
"You're really lucky!"
Venerable Lei Ming sighed again before heading to the Race Treasury.
After accepting Tie Shan as his disciple and receiving the cashback, Lu Qingshan left the Initial Universe and returned to the Time Temple of the Divine Kingdom. Only then did he take out the " Artifact Refining Manual - Volume One " that he had just received the cashback from.
The book's cover is dark silver, and it feels cold to the touch, as if it weren't pages but sheets of thin, cicada-wing-like alloy.
"This weapon-refining manual is only the first volume... I wonder what level it describes."
Lu Qingshan turned to the first page.
On the title page, there is only one line of ancient text, yet it exudes a chilling aura of power.
"The art of weapon crafting begins with the craftsman's spirit and culminates in the ultimate truth."
Lu Qingshan was confused, but he felt it was impressive, so he continued scrolling down.
The first part, the basics. From the identification and smelting of ores to the forging and quenching of the tool blanks, every step is described in great detail.
It also includes numerous Secret Pattern Diagram, as well as insights into various weapon crafting techniques.
"This part is far more profound than the Basic Inheritance of the Craftsman God Star, but it's not considered too advanced."
Lu Qingshan quickly glanced through it and turned to the second article.
Part Two: The True Treasure.
The crafting methods for each type of Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, from Ordinary Heavy Treasure to top-tier, are recorded in detail.
It includes weapons, armor, shoes, shields, palaces, Domain Type, and sealing structures... covering almost all types of True Treasure.
"This part already touches upon the deeper application of the secret runes of True Treasure."
Lu Qingshan nodded secretly.
"With my current weapon-refining skills, I'm even struggling to refine Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. At most, I can only refine simple types like weapons and shields. As for more complex types, even Ordinary Heavy Treasure, the success rate is probably not high."
He continued scrolling down.
The third section, "Introduction to the Supreme Treasure," is significantly more profound than the previous two.
From Ordinary Supreme Treasure to High-grade Supreme Treasure, the crafting methods for each type of Supreme Treasure are explained in detail.
It also includes numerous Secret Pattern Diagram of Supreme Treasure and precious runes, as well as various details to pay attention to during the crafting process.
"This part is beyond my current level of weapon crafting; it's something I'll need to learn in the future."
Lu Qingshan smiled.
"However, with this manual in hand, you can learn it eventually by studying it carefully."
He continued scrolling down.
The fourth section, the Supreme Treasure section, is mastered.
This section covers the methods for crafting Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
" Top-tier Supreme Treasure..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He hadn't expected that the contents of just the first volume would involve the crafting of Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
It's important to understand that even the Master of Craftsman God could only forge special Supreme Treasure of this level. If one could forge Top-tier Supreme Treasure, they would be considered a master craftsman comparable to the Craftsman God of Crafts in the Primal Universe, belonging to the very pinnacle of the Primal Universe. Apart from the Sitting Mountain Guest, probably no one could match them.
Of course, in the Universe Ocean, the First and Second Reincarnation Era, and even among the Lords of the Holy Land Universe, there were some master craftsmen capable of forging Peak Supreme Treasure...
He took a deep breath and continued flipping through the pages.
However, the following content only contains some simple descriptions, and the rest is completely missing... In other words, the content of this Artifact Refining Manual - Volume One - ends at the level of Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
Although its highest level is merely Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
However, the contents of this manual are extremely detailed... It contains detailed records of various types of treasure crafting techniques, and if it were taken out, it would be enough to serve as the Core Inheritance of a top-tier power.
Perhaps even the most Core Inheritance of the Craftsman God cannot compare to the more detailed records in this manual.
After a quick review...
Lu Qingshan then began to study the contents of the manual.
He started with the most basic content.
Time flies like water; in the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed...
