Liu Yun was a nice guy. He told Lu Li and Qian Huanhan about Patriarch Gu secretly.
Liu Yun said that Patriarch Gu was a skilled craftsman and was the most promising one to become a master craftsman.
Unfortunately, his wife died in an accident, which hurt his mind. He was depressed for hundreds of years.
When he finally recovered, Patriarch Gu's son went to a land of treasure and passed away. Patriarch Gu's family line was cut off.
This time, it was a bigger blow. Patriarch Gu had a strange temperament. After this, he became a complete freak.
He barely talked to anyone in the sect. He stayed in his own yard. Apart from the Chief, he was not on good terms with any other patriarchs.
As for the disciples, he was even harsher. He would scold or even punish the disciples if they did not follow the rules.
Even Lady Dan was scolded by him for an hour.
The Chief and patriarchs of the sect were understanding. No matter what he did, nobody would say anything.
Instead, they would tell the disciples to be kind to him. After all, he was a poor guy.
Liu Yun told Lu Li and Qian Huanhan to tolerate Patriarch Gu and not to anger him for no reason.
Otherwise, even if Patriarch Gu was scared to death, the Chief would just scold him and nothing would happen.
Back in the days, Patriarch Gu had made great contributions to the sect. Now, he could make many supreme Relics in a year.
Liu Yun told Lu Li about the levels of craftsmen. For example, those that could make low-grade Relics of the lowest level could be called craftsmen.
If one could forge a high-grade divine artifact, one would be a Divine Blacksmith. If one could forge a transcendent-grade divine artifact, one would be a Great Divine Blacksmith.
Those that could make holy grade Relics were skilled craftsmen. Those that could make supreme Relics were skilled craftsmen.
With that said, Lu Li asked with curiosity, "What is the evaluation of a master craftsman?
Is there an even more heaven-defying divine artifact above the saint grade? "
"You don't need to know that!"
Liu Yun waved his hand. "You will know when you become a skilled craftsman.
What I want to tell you is that even a master craftsman will enjoy a high status in the Divinity, let alone a master craftsman.
When you go out, even the Sect Masters of the 72 Divine Sects will be very polite to you. "
"Okay. You can go now!"
Liu Yun stood up and said, "Come back in half a year. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you can become official disciples and receive a salary."
Lu Li and Qian Huanhan bid farewell to Liu Yun and walked out. Lu Li didn't want to stay outside for fear that he might run into Lady Dan and Long Yunhai. He planned to go back to Patriarch Gu's place.
"Brother Li, you go back first. I'm going to meet a friend!"
Qian Huanhan suddenly said mysteriously. Lu Li frowned. "You have friends in the Chamber of Relics?"
"Yes!"
Qian Huanhan grinned and said, "I have a friend who joined the Chamber of Relics two years ago. I'm going to ask him for some information."
"Oh, go!" Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Don't cause any trouble, okay?
Even if someone bullies you, you have to endure it. If you really can't handle it, you can crush the jade talisman and I will come over immediately. "
Lu Li handed over a jade talisman. Qian Huanhan nodded gratefully and dashed toward the east courtyard.
Lu Li walked toward Patriarch Gu's yard in a low-key manner. His journey was smooth. He ran into some disciples but none of them paid attention to him.
Lu Li did not report to Patriarch Gu. Instead, he went back to his attic and went to his room to cultivate.
After a while, Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead and let Bloodvine sneak into the ground.
"Blood Fairy, try to change the Inhibition Formations in the room!"
Lu Li ordered Blood Fairy. After all, the Inhibition Formations here were built by Patriarch Gu.
Lu Li was afraid that Patriarch Gu could monitor the situation in the room at any time. Therefore, he asked Blood Fairy to change the Inhibition Formations here.
In this way … his secret would not be exposed.
Blood Fairy sneaked into the room and soon found the Inhibition Formations. She sensed them and said, "The Inhibition Formations in the room are just regular ones. Master, are you sure you want to change them?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He was not sure if Patriarch Gu would notice if he changed the Inhibition Formations. Even so, he must change them.
Otherwise, all his secrets would be discovered by Patriarch Gu. How could Lu Li read the books left by Tian Lingzi in secret?
How could he forge artifacts secretly?
"Okay ~"
Blood Fairy began to change the Inhibition Formations in the room. The changes were simple. In an hour, Blood Fairy had taken back her tentacles.
Lu Li put away the Wicked Bead at once. Blood Fairy said, "Master, it's okay. I have made some changes.
If someone tries to sneak past the Inhibition Formations to check on you, I will be able to tell. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li was relieved. He sat down to cultivate. As a matter of fact, he was waiting for Patriarch Gu's reaction.
After all, the Inhibition Formations here were built by Patriarch Gu. He might be able to notice.
"What?"
In the backyard, Patriarch Gu was reading an ancient book. When Blood Fairy finished modifying the Inhibition Formations, Patriarch Gu looked up and frowned at Lu Li.
"Hmm ~"
A moment later, Patriarch Gu snorted and murmured, "How dare she change the Inhibition Formations I built?
But … it seems to be good.
Not even my psychic power can go in. Interesting … "
Patriarch Gu did not force his psychic power in. Otherwise, with the simple Inhibition Formations in the room, he could have seen Lu Li's every move.
That being said, Blood Fairy would know. Everyone had their privacy. Patriarch Gu was not interested in Lu Li's privacy.
Two hours later, Lu Li received confirmation from Blood Fairy that no psychic power had come in.
Lu Li was relieved. He took out a book on formations from the Wicked Bead and began to read.
In a short period of time, Lu Li wanted to improve his knowledge of Inhibition Formations.
In terms of combat abilities, he had no clue. He had made no progress after studying the Slayer's move and wind-related Fundamental Principle. Therefore, he planned to study Inhibition Formations and forging artifacts.
In order to gain a foothold in the Chamber of Relics, he must improve his skills in forging artifacts.
If he could not gain a foothold in the Chamber of Relics, when the Cabinet of Cloud came to him, would the Chamber of Relics offend the Cabinet of Cloud for him if he was a nobody with no value or status?
Lu Li was not sure about this. More importantly, he had offended someone in the Chamber of Relics.
If Lady Dan and the others could help, the Chamber of Relics might hand over the Wicked Bead.
Therefore, to stay alive, Lu Li must gain a foothold in the Chamber of Relics as soon as possible. He might not become an influential figure, but at least, he should be worthy of the Chamber of Relics' protection!
Inside the Wicked Bead was the lifelong collection of a master craftsman. That was Lu Li's greatest advantage.
He believed that given some time, he could become a master craftsman or even a master craftsman!
A moment later, the Inhibition Formation in Lu Li's room glowed. He put away the book and opened the door. Qian Huanhan was back.
As soon as he came in, Qian Huanhan secretly activated the Inhibition Formation in the room. Then, he took out a stove, some basic materials, and a dozen books from his Interspatial Ring. "Brother Li, I have some materials on forging artifacts from my friends. I will give you some.
Ha … with these, we can take our time to learn forging artifacts. Sooner or later, we will all become master craftsmen! "
"Han, thank you!"
