Martial research master

Qin Weng was asked to accompany by the servant of the mansion. Soon enough he came to the outer disciple area. Qin Weng didn't expect that he would be shifted to the outer disciple area after being accepted by the grand elder of the sect. The servant handed him a slip that had his name on top of it. "This is the identification token that you have to carry around the sect to avail the various facilities. This will also act as the merit storage system, and if you became an elder in the future will work as a slip of yours. This has the rules and guidelines listed in it. Make sure to read it before doing anything else. This concludes my work for the time being. As per the weapon choosing and the library, you can go there yourself and show the slip to gain the facilities that are allotted to you by the grand elder. "The servant left.

Long Tao entered his dwelling and saw that it was no different than a normal cottage, except it had a forging station installed in it. This amazed Qin Weng. To think that the sect would be so generous. "They have provided you with a forging station, but if you look correctly there is no flame in it. A forging station without a refining flame is just a piece of garbage. It looks like you have to earn your merit points and get a flame for yourself. "Qin Weng laid down his luggage and sat down to go through the list of rules provided to him by the sect. As expected, the genuine rules apart, a person needs to get merit points if they want to buy a flame, materials, equipment, or even get a weapon forged. The prices varied and the disciples need to obtain the merit points by doing various tasks appointed by the sect. the task included forging, helping out the various elders in their activities, outer sect mission, various chores and even bounties, and special tasks. Even if the firmament palace was known for its forging arts, cultivation was still the primary goal of all the practitioners. The same went for forgers too. If you want to be able to forge something of a higher grade, you need to upgrade your cultivation likewise. After going through all the rules and regulations, Long Tao finally settled down in the room. He verified his contents and then saw the resources of body cultivation that his master has given him. The simultaneous cultivation at the thunder pool was helping Long Tao open more and more meridians. He had already managed to open the 17th secondary meridian. Given the miraculous effect of the thunder pool, Long Tao was certain that he would be able to open all 36 of the secondary meridians in this months' time.

As per the pill hall, Lu Ming was currently busy cultivating in the Body realm too. Long Tao knew he couldn't just start absorbing hell and heaven Qi just anywhere. Hence only the figures that were within the Crimson Lord world were going to cultivate in the Hellspawn art and the 12 forges of death art. Currently, the things that were obstructing the path of Long Tao were the Hellspawn sutra which was in its 11th rotation now ( He was undergoing the 12 forges before he starts the revolution art.) and the Heavenly pestle art which was at the 6th grind. He needed to concentrate more on the Heavenly pestle art and hence what Long Tao decided was that as soon as he gets out of the thunder pool, he is going to concentrate most of his avatars in the heavenly pestle art.

Back in the Firmament palace, Long Tao had to decide whether he should first do a roundabout of the whole academy or he should first go to the weapon hall and collect the set of hammers. After weighing both the ideas, Long Tao decided to go to the weapons hall first, after which he would go for a roam around the sect.

"Weapon hall", a large board was hanging outside the building. It was quite majestic from the outside, and why not, after all this was the storage area of the best products from all over the sect. Long Tao was allowed to go and choose a set of hammers according to the limits of his physical body. There was a long queue of people looming inside the hall waiting for their turn to sell their craft, buy material s, weapons, and other things of the necessity for forging. Long Tao directly proceeded towards the counter. He didn't want to waste time and he wasn't scared of the guards here. He had the slip of the grand elder, which itself was a statement. Long Tao didn't even look at the guards and the queue when he approached the counter and directly showed his slip. At first, the people present there wanted to stop him, but when they saw the slip, all of them drew in a cold breath. A personal slip from the Grand Elder. The person in front of them must the newly accepted disciple of the grand elder. The man at the counter asked Long Tao to follow him into the treasury. Crossing various passages, the finally reached an exquisite hall.

There were racks of weapons lined up in here. Although Long Tao was prepared, he was still shocked to see the number of weapons that were present in this place. The hall lived up to its name as the treasury of the Firmament palace. The racks were differentiated into different sections each having a signboard on top of it. "Since you have come here for choosing a hammer, lets directly go that section." Both the servant and Long Tao reached the section where it was written hammer. Long Tao saw a large range of hammers being present there. The hammers were divided into section s, each having its own special properties." You are to choose a hammer according to your strength.". Long Tao noticed that the servant didn't point out the fact that the hammer's weight is affected given someone utilizes their Qi to lift it. It was probably for the disciple to understand for themselves.

Long Tao started verifying the hammers one by one. Soon enough he picked up the first hammer and found it to be very light. This was not the one suited for his use. He went to the next one. This one was easy too. The servant was standing to the side, glaring at Long Tao. Suddenly his message token started vibrating and he picked it up "What can I help you with?". "You don't have to be so cold to me Junior brother" surprisingly, it was the grand elder on the other side. This servant was a junior brother of the Grand elder and he was disguised as a servant in the weapon hall. "I guess I need to congratulate senior brother on taking a new disciple. Sorry for not being interested in showing any favoritism to him and not giving him any first time meet gift. Also, I don't think you needed to send your only disciple of the present to my hall, because you can give him a pair of hammers yourself. Or, is the weapon refining prodigy now no longer interested in refining hammers because that is too beneath him?". On the other side, the Qin Wentian sighed. "He needs to earn his own weapon. I don't want to spoil him by providing him with a superior set of weapons or tools. I sent him to the hall because I knew that even after knowing that he was my disciple you won't show any favor and just have him undergo the test. That is what that brat requires.". "As the elder responsible for the hall, I will allow him to get what he deserves and won't stop even if he was able to take away my greatest creation, given he is eligible to take it away.". The servant than closed the Messaging token. Qin Wentian sighed. At least the junior brother of his not going to make it difficult.

As Long Tao was busy selecting weapon the keeper's voice sounded out in his head "This sect seems to be even more secretive and special than the pill hall. In a single day, I have met two QI Kings who are of such a young age. And the talent of this QI King is even higher than your master.". Long Tao looked around just to see the servant looking casually towards him. He then tried to find anyone else in the room" Is that senior looking towards me from some other space, or have covered his location with some skill.". "Idiot, I am talking about the so-called servant who accompanied you here." Long Tao was taken back. A Qi King was acting as a servant in the Weapon hall. This was a ridiculous piece of news. The guy saw the change in Long Tao's expression but decided to ignore it. "This guy is just in his late 20s, and he is a peak initial Qi King. He can break through the next stage within a year at most. He will then step into the intermediate Qi King.". Another voice sound in Long Tao's mind "Looks like Young Master has a really good piece of luck. I was not going to interfere with your activity, but I have seen two good seedlings in the weapon forging area and couldn't stop myself." It was the keeper of the weapon hall of the Crimson lord manor." What do you mean by good seedling?". "Just like cultivators have natural bodies which characterize their talent in the cultivation area, Weapon master also has, what you call as, an aptitude that decides their talent in this area. Both of the people you met before have saint grade aptitude for weapon forging. They can easily advance given the facility. If master takes them under his wing and allows them to enter into the weapon hall of ours, I can teach them to be incredible refiners.". "I will do accept them when I reach the QI King realm in the future given, they are ok with it. But for now, let's concentrate on picking a weapon for myself.". The weapon hall master "But why does young master need to choose from the weapons present here, you can choose from the ones in the weapon hall of the crimson lord world. The previous masters have left huge amounts of resources for you to cultivate in. You don't need to waster your time in a sect." Long Tao sighed again. The temptation was good, but he knew he couldn't accept it." I thank you for the advice but for now, only the avatar present in the weapon hall will

practice with one of the hammers from the hall. Also, I need to build a force remember. I want to build it with my own efforts."

Long Tao had gone through a lot of hammers but couldn't find one suitable for his strength. He even went ahead and tried the best ones present. Although they were quite heavy, but not good enough for Long Tao." Does the elder have any more sets of hammers for me to choose from? I couldn't find one which is suitable for my strength." The guy was shocked. he then verified the body of Long Tao applying some special methods and that's when his eyes went out to open with realization" Bastard, so you deliberately sent him to extort from me." He muttered to himself silently. He then looked at Long Tao "Follow me.". The tone was no longer polite as before. It was quite imposing as if he was talking to someone who was below him in position. Long Tao didn't mind as he knew the true cultivation of the guy. Soon enough they came across another small room. Entering it, Long Tao found something incredible. There was a whole bunch of weapons present here. The Quality was far superior then what he had seen before. This was supposedly the private collection of the elder. "How many meridians have you opened brat?" The elder asked in a rigid manner. Also, before long to could answer his question" Don't even bother to lie. I am not like your master who can't gouge your real body cultivation realm. Tell me truthfully about your age and the body cultivation realm. Long Tao was silent for some time, deciding whether to give away the details or not when he heard the voice of the keeper "You should tell him the truth. From the looks of it, he is also a body cultivator and an accomplished one at that. Also, he is using some sort of ocular technique to gouge the situation and condition of your current body. You won't be able to hide it after some time.". "Can't you veil it.". "I could have, but the one standing in Infront of you is a Qi King. He could sense my existence, especially if I tried to mask the stage of your body.".

"I have opened all the primary meridian, and am on the way to open my 18th secondary meridian.". The servant was blanked out for a second. Then he started to maniacally laugh and then cried and got frustrated." Why does that bastard have such a good fortune? Why was I not present in the hall where your talent was being gouged? Damn this fate bitch." He looked at Long Tao and asked" Will you ditch that useless crap and accept me as your master. I will make sure to nurture you properly and flood you with a great number of resources. Your life is not going to be good enough with that cheap stake. Also, my talent is much higher than your master's. So, my capability goes without saying." Long Tao was silent for a period of time. He then lowered his head and said" I am sorry elder, but I will not abandon my master. He who becomes a master also becomes a parent for the disciple. I can't ditch my parents just because someone gave me more facilities and resources than them.���. The man sighed, but soon a look of appreciation appeared which as soon changed into that of a strict attitude. "Although I will not leave my master tutelage, I can accept elder as a master of mine too.". Long Tao said with a smug expression." You just demeaned every bit of appreciation I had for you. You have inherited that bastard's greedy characteristics as well.". He took out a huge box and handed it to Long Tao. You can have it if you are able to hold it brat. He threw it at Long Tao. Long Tao picked it up, but he was being crushed by the weight. He started applying the power of all the primary meridians and soon enough the secondary meridian. He was finally able to hold it out barely utilizing all of his strength. "Good. You can hold it out. That boy is my greatest creation until now. That not only is the most fearsome set I have created; it also contains the depth of my understanding of forging. This is like a set of inheritance for you. Breakthrough Qi master and then start practicing with this hammer." The scene suddenly changed and Long Tao was standing outside the weapon hall with a ring on his finger. As he installed his Qi into it, he found the box. Long tao turned around and bowed with respect towards the weapon hall. The passer-by started making fun of his actions. "Good child. Let's see how far you can go, boy." The elder was watching from inside the hall.

Qin Wentian was also watching the actions of Long Tao from his residence and was surprised by the action Long Tao did. But then he smiled "Seems like the brat was able to impress him.". he picked up his messaging token" Junior brother, please tell me that you didn't steal my disciple for yourself." The servant in the hall ha da pissed expression his face." Fuck you bastard. I tried, but that boy insisted on you being like a parent to him and told me he wouldn't leave you I face of more resources. What kind of dark spell have you cast on the child that he didn't even want to try? Fuck you. "Then he sealed his token. Qin Wentian was having a satisfied expression. He had managed to choose a good disciple.
