Chapter 55 He gave too much

'??? So fast.'

Lin Manshan was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and looked up, the fat man's hot gaze made him a little hairy, 'Is he Lou Gao?' Hastily lowering his head slightly, he arched his hand and politely said, "May I ask who you are senior."

Both of his fists were grabbed by a hand which trembled slightly.

A rude voice then came.

"Old man's name is Lou Gao, I am the president of the Blacksmith Association, one of the three great divine craftsmen of the world, boy, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"This, senior, I already have a teacher." Lin Manshan said with some restraint.

"Hm? Is your teacher from a blacksmith clan?" Lou Gao immediately widened his eyes, looking like he was about to go find that person for a 1V1 real-man battle.

"Senior, my teacher is not from Blacksmith Clan. Rather, they are a group of commoner blacksmiths in an ordinary blacksmith workshop, and it was them, who taught me all their skills and introduced me to the blacksmith profession." Lin Manshan raised his head and said without looking meek.

"A group of civilian blacksmiths." Lou Gao froze for a moment, his face filled with disbelief, "Kid, you can't swindle me. The hammering technique you used when you hammered the raw iron just now was not something that an ordinary blacksmith could have realised."

"Senior, it was not a hammering technique." Lin Manshan jerked his hand and couldn't pull it out, "Rather, it was a great sword technique, something that I honed blindly during my usual practice."

"What! That's a sword technique you comprehended on your own?" Lou Gao's eyes widened at once.

"That's right, my family has been chopping wood and making charcoal for generations, and my family's inherited martial soul is the wood-cutting hatchet, but no one has ever awakened their spirit power. I'm the only one who has awakened my spirit power, possessing a level 3 innate spirit power, and my martial soul has undergone a mutation. However, it seems to be a malignant mutation, my martial soul's form changed after absorbing the first spirit ring, and it could not retain the spirit ring or spirit skill anymore."

When he said that, Lin Manshan's face dimmed for a bit, "So, I could only practice sword swinging every day, and after that, I entered a blacksmith workshop as an apprentice, trying to exercise my arm and waist strength by hammering raw iron, and then I practised till I reached this state."

'Something like that could still happen!?' Everyone present was taken aback.

"Could this be a talent?" Si Di opened his mouth and couldn't help but murmur sourly.

He simply had no talent and was often scolded by his teacher for having a pig's brain.

Lou Gao's face changed colour, and he loosened his hands, "Kid, your name is Ah Man right? Summon your martial soul and show it to me."

"Okay!" Withdrawing his hands back, Lin Manshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to summon out his martial soul.

"There's really no spirit ring, a martial soul with no spirit ring and no spirit skill, there's actually such a strange thing in this world." Lou Gao smacked his lips repeatedly.

"It's good to be able to continue cultivating." Lin Manshan retrieved his martial soul and laughed, "Uncle Tie Shan said that without a spirit skill one can also become a powerful spirit master, and a spirit master can create his own spirit skill, and also said that the legendary Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer of our blacksmithing community is a self-created spirit skill."

At these words, Lou Gao was silent, then he slapped his belly and laughed loudly, "Your Uncle Tie Shan is right, a spirit master can become a powerful spirit master without a spirit skill, this sword technique you have realised is very powerful, I have a feeling that it is not worse than the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Ah Man, keep on working hard, I'm sure you'll succeed." After saying that, he changed the topic, stroked his long beard and said seriously, "Ah Man, you just said that the ones who taught you forging were a group of blacksmiths, right? Then I guess it wouldn't hurt to have one more teacher, right?"

"???" The three personal disciples behind him were dumbstruck.

I didn't expect President Lou Gao to be this kind of person. The middle-aged man was also taken aback.

"Huh?" Lin Manshan was also confused for a moment.

Is this still the Lou Gao I remember? Isn't he a grumpy big old man? This painting style isn't right!

"Ah Man, multiple teachers will lead you down the less tangled path." Lou Gao said meaningfully, and with a spread of his right hand, a thick notebook consisting of countless papers stapled together appeared in his hand, which he held in front of Lin Manshan's eyes, "Here, this is for you. This is my Forging Masterpiece, it contains some of the insights I have gained from forging in my day-to-day life, so take it back and study it well. In addition, when wandering in the spirit master world, how can you travel without a storage spirit tool? Ah Man, as long as you recognise me as your teacher, I'll send you a big one later as a gift."

"You know about the storage spirit tool, right? It's a kind of artefact that allows spirit masters to not have to carry very heavy things on their backs in big bags."

Has the love disappeared? Should one be so biased? The three personal disciples felt out of favour at the same time.

I didn't expect President Lou Gao to be this kind of person, to coax a young child like this. The middle-aged man was once again taken aback.

"There is no end to learning, and it is only by incorporating the best of everything that we can have a long-term future, you are right, senior." Lin Manshan nodded heavily and bowed immediately.

"I greet you, Master!"

"Learning is never-ending, incorporating the best of everything. Good disciple, well said!" Lou Gao's eyes suddenly brightened, reaching out to help Lin Manshan up, turning his head to look at the few personal disciples, his round eyes glared slightly, "Why don't you come over and meet your junior brother?"

The three burly men instantly felt a bit aggrieved, but still squeezed a smile on their faces and greeted cordially, "Junior Brother"

Then shall I leave? The middle-aged man froze in place with an embarrassed expression.

"Let's go, my good disciple, I'll take you to choose a spirit tool." Lou Gao patted his big belly and said with a big smile.

After saying that, he glanced at the middle-aged man on the side, "Si Long, entertain this honourable guest for me."

"That, President Lou Gao, hospitality is not necessary, I have to go down to procure metals." Saying that, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Lin Manshan, "Ah Man, the merchant caravan will be departing from the station in the south of the city three days from now in the morning, you can come over to me if you want to go back together."

"Procuring metals, this is simple. Si Long, you go and do the docking, and give a straight 30% discount." Lou Gao said cheerfully.

There is still such a good thing? The middle-aged man's face immediately glowed with joy, and he hurriedly arched his hand, "Then thank you, President."

"Please follow me." Si Long couldn't wait to run away as early as possible and immediately led the man away.

Then, Lin Manshan was brought away.

The remaining two senior brothers were also dismissed.

Following Lou Gao to the top floor and walking into the storage room dedicated to storing the auction items for the auction house, Lin Manshan looked around and saw that the rows of shelves were filled with a wide array of neatly placed boxes of all sorts, large and small, wooden and jade. It was dazzling.

Soon, the two came to a long table inside.

Lou Gao reached out and quickly unveiled a finely carved wooden box, and instantly, more than a dozen spirit tools of various styles were displayed in front of their eyes.

"Apprentice, choose one." Lou Gao turned his head and said with an atmospheric voice, "These are all medium and large storage spirit tools, each with more than twenty cubic metres of storage space. With it, you won't have to worry about storage when you forge your own work in the future."

"Master, are there any spirit tools here that can store living things?" Lin Manshan couldn't help but inquire.

"No." Lou Gao shook his head, "That thing is very rare, you basically can't see it on the market."
