Chapter 369– Put In Some Efforts And Drink !

TL : GoldenLung

“Senior, can I have some time to think about it?” Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly.

Yang Yingming said: “Of course you can. But let me just say this, junior brother ! Judging from your performance just now, you are indeed very suitable for forging. Us blacksmiths, we can also save a little bit by using a few more times the same piece of metal. Heavy Silver is a good choice, its price is relatively cheap for its size and a white emblem can be exchanged for two. It is enough for you to practice for half a month. I will teach you three lessons, and then you can practice by yourself for a month, and then buy my full course. Let me tell you, I am about to reach the fourth rank. When I become a rank 4 blacksmith, the cost will definitely go up.”

“Understood.” Lan Xuanyu nodded hurriedly. However, what he needed to consider now is whether he really wanted to learn forging!

After leaving the Shrek Blacksmith Association, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel helpless. He thought he had earned a lot of emblems, but he had spent some for that teardrop-shaped gem and 3 more yellow emblems for a cultivation session at Sea God Lake. If he learned to forge on top of that, he could hold on for a while, but there were not that many ways of earning emblems as smoothly as before!

What should I do? Do I learn forging or not ?

He decided to ask Tang Zhenhua.

When he went to the Interstellar Center to explain his intentions, Tang Zhenhua said without hesitation: “Choose forging. Although it is very expensive, but in fact, your senior is right, if you are really talented in this area and have a sufficient success rate, then you can still be self-sufficient in the future. After you reach the fifth-rank, the metals you forge will have more demands than supply and can become a stable financial source. As for the early stages, you’ll have to do some investment. It’s up to you to figure out how to earn the emblems.”

Lan Xuanyu now fully understood why Fatty Qian would choose designing. Designing was the least expensive. These brothers were really kind to him! Letting himself the most expensive one.

Lan Xuanyu looked helplessly and sighed, “Then I will try. Teacher, I plan to go to the Sea God Lake to cultivate again tonight. Will you come with me?”

The corners of Tang Zhenhua’s mouth twitched, and he said without hesitation: “I’ll pass I’ll pass. How can a tutor always follow his students? Just go by yourself. As long as no one urges you, continue cultivating.”

“Oh, alright.”

Seeing that Tang Zhenhua’s expression was a bit weird, coupled with his torturing yesterday, Lan Xuanyu wisely chose to run away, saying that he was going back to prepare himself for the evening’s cultivation.

When he left, Tang Zhenhua snorted. He still felt like he still remembered the pain from the beating he received last time. This kid had absorbed quite a lot of life energy last time, and he had already digested all of it ? No wonder the School of Life said that his life affinity was high.

Back in the dormitory, Lan Xuanyu silently replayed in his mind his first forging session. He felt somewhat better in his heart. It felt pretty good. It seems that I really like that sensation of being single-mindedly devoted to an activity. It seems that while focusing on forging, even my spiritual power has been tempered. It should be helpful to the improvement of my spiritual power.

However, it is so expensive! The first try is free. After that, I will have to buy rare metals by myself, and it would be best to ask Teacher for help in that regard.

Night fell.

Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei left their dormitory and walked towards the place Lan Xuanyu had been to last time.

Tang Yue who Lan Xuanyu had seen last time was still guarding the Sea God Lake. Looking at him coming again, and that he had also brought someone with him. Tang Yue immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

“Hello, Teacher Tang.” Lan Xuanyu hurriedly.

“No need to be so polite. Have you come to Poseidon Lake to cultivate again? The life energy you absorbed last time has been completely assimilated ?” Tang Yue asked with a smile.

“Yeah, I have.” Lan Xuanyu said hurriedly.

Tang Yue gave him a thumbs up, “You’re great! Not bad, not bad. Worthy of your quasi-perfect life affinity. You’ve also brought your classmate this time?”

“Yes. This is my classmate Qian Lei, he also wants to try to cultivate in the Sea God Lake.” Lan Xuanyu said.

Qian Lei nodded repeatedly, “Hello, Teacher Tang.”

Tang Yue smiled and said: “Okay, let’s go. However, the cost is set by the academy. Your entry will be recorded, so…”

“Understood.” Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei each took out three yellow emblems and handed them over.

Tang Yue accepted the emblems, but Lan Xuanyu’s duo felt their heart ache. Cultivating in Sea God Lake was really too expensive. This was definitely one of the most extravagant ways of cultivation in the Outer Court.

On weekdays, in fact, very few people would come directly to Sea God Lake to cultivate. One could do a lot with three yellow emblems in Shrek Academy. It was even enough for supporting Lan Xuanyu’s learning fees in forging for several months. But here, it was only one hour of cultivation.

After passing through the portal guarded by Tang Yue, Qian Lei’s eyes widened suddenly, and the rich and extreme life energy present here was definitely enough to shock him.

Even when he was in Eternal Sky City before, he didn’t feel this way. It seemed that Eternal Sky City deliberately isolated and controlled the intensity of its life energy. But the life energy here was not suppressed at all, it was as if soaking in liquefied energy, and Qian Lei felt that the surface of his skin had become moist.

“Come on, we can’t waste even a single second.” Lan Xuanyu took Qian Lei and ran. He walked to the place where he cultivated last time, then quickly took off his clothes and jumped onto a water lily as a demonstration.

As soon as his body touched the water of Sea God Lake, he almost groaned comfortably. The feeling of being covered by the extremely rich life energy was really wonderful. He didn’t need to urge his bloodline vortex at all, it accelerated instantly on its own and began to frantically absorb the life energy in the lake.

Qian Lei did the same. His obsession for money was even higher than Lan Xuanyu, and he was naturally less willing to waste any of it. He took off his clothes lightning fast and then jumped into the Sea God Lake.

Under the cleansing of the dense life energy, he immediately felt his body relax, and is vitality consumed by Fatty Jin yesterday was being quickly replenished.

Without any reservations, Qian Lei immediately opened his mouth and drank. This thing cost a white emblem for each litter ! He would drink as much as he could. At the same time, while underwater, he quietly let Fatty Jin out.

When Fatty Jin was first released by him, its body was underwater and it felt a little suffocated. Startled, it began to struggle. However, it sensed the beauty of the Sea God Lake in just an instant.

Its pair of eyes suddenly widened, and the hair all over its body seemed to become brighter under the washing of the Sea God Lake.

“Drink quickly, drink quickly. Drink as much as possible. This is precious!” Qian Lei pulled it up to the surface of the water, letting it take a breath, and then whispered.

Fatty Jin blinked and immediately understood, its small eyes gleamed, and lowering its head, it opened its big mouth.

Qian Lei felt his body swaying forward. In front of him, it was as if a small whirlpool appeared suddenly, and the water of Sea God Lake swarmed into Fatty Jin’s body as it madly devoured it. Its speed of drinking water was many times faster than him.

While the two of them were drinking water here, Lan Xuanyu was already immersed in his perception of the changes currently happening to his bloodline.

Different from last time, after their reconciliation thanks to the rainbow-colored gem, his two bloodlines had merged into one furnace, and they no longer conflicted with each other.

At this moment, rich life energy was pouring into his body. The first thing being nourished was his bloodline vortex. Lan Xuanyu only felt his bloodline vortex immediately being filled up, and then the rainbow-colored gem on his chest also emitted a faint light, and a warm feeling poured into his body. Life energy converged into his bloodline vortex like rivers converging into the sea. His vortex rotated peacefully, and its absorption speed seemed to be faster than last time.
