The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Even Master Ou felt that Zhang Lingfeng was exaggerating.

But young people are confident.

He didn't want to discourage Zhang Lingfeng either.

Instead, he said to Zhang Lingfeng, "It would be best if you could become a Level 3 True God sooner. After all, to become a qualified blacksmith, you also need a powerful divine body as support."

Becoming a blacksmith is not that easy.

Old Ou sighed and gave Zhang Lingfeng a meaningful look.

"To become a blacksmith, one needs to undergo the baptism of a divine inscription master. A baptism requires at least one or two hundred divine stones, or even more."

Ou Jinhao echoed.

The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson hoped that Zhang Lingfeng would understand that this was a huge favor, requiring the donation of many divine stones, and they hoped that Zhang Lingfeng would take the initiative to ask them for it.

After all, there's a difference between giving it directly to Zhang Lingfeng and having Zhang Lingfeng actively seek them out, and in helping Zhang Lingfeng fulfill this request.

"Aha!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng stretched and yawned.

He didn't respond to the conversation, nor did he ask for help from Master Ou. Instead, he stretched and said, "Becoming a blacksmith is indeed not easy. Moreover, becoming a blacksmith seems to be quite hard work. It's better to just lie down."

"..."

The three men, Ou Ye, Lao Ou, and Xiao Ou, froze, speechless.

"What if, I mean, what if, someone could help you become a blacksmith?"

Old Ou tried.

"Master, how could someone help me become a blacksmith out of nowhere?"

Zhang Lingfeng countered with a question.

"You are an eighth-level Soul Master, and you have a good chance of becoming a blacksmith. If some family caravans take a liking to you and are willing to spend divine stones to find a divine inscription master to baptize you, and you pledge allegiance to them afterward, such a thing is entirely possible!"

Old Ou laughed.

"Ha, then I might as well not be a blacksmith. I hate owing favors to others the most. Favors are the hardest things to repay."

Zhang Lingfeng yawned again, waving his hand as he did so.

The three men, Ou Ye, Lao Ou, and Xiao Ou, were caught off guard; they never expected Zhang Lingfeng to have this attitude.

Ou Jinhao was so angry that he took the initiative to say, "Zhang Lingfeng, if our Ou family is willing to find a divine inscription master to baptize you and make you a blacksmith, are you still unwilling?"

Master Ou glared at Ou Jinhao. He revealed his thoughts so quickly, and at this time no less. Even if Zhang Lingfeng was willing, the terms would be difficult to negotiate.

This guy is still too young and impatient.

"what?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked bewildered.

So the Ou family wanted to help him become a blacksmith. Although he had a premonition, he still pretended to be shocked.

"Are you willing to cooperate with the Ou family?"

Old Ou asked.

"This...Young Master Ou said that this requires a lot of divine stones. What if it doesn't work out?"

Zhang Lingfeng reminded him.

"Even if it doesn't work out, it's because our Ou family is willing to make sacrifices and won't cause you any trouble afterward. But if you do become a blacksmith, you'll need to work hand in hand with our Ou family."

Old Ou said.

“Boss, as you know, I’m used to being free and undisciplined, and I’ve never liked being constrained.”

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

Joining forces to advance or retreat meant staying with the Ou family, but Zhang Lingfeng could never agree to that.

We can't all become part of the Ou family from now on!
"What do you mean? You look down on the Ou family?"

Ou Jinhao was filled with indignation.

Zhang Lingfeng is merely a second-level True God, with no status or background. Is he worth the Ou family humbling themselves for? The Ou family wanted to give him an opportunity, and he actually dared to refuse.

“Young Master Ou, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was that becoming a blacksmith isn’t that easy. Don’t waste the employer’s money. Besides, even if I do become a blacksmith, I can’t stay in White Emperor City forever.”

Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

"It hasn't even started yet, and you're already thinking about becoming a blacksmith and leaving the Ou family behind. Let me tell you..."

Ou Jinhao was no longer calm.

"shut up."

"Master Ou scolded."

Ou Jinhao could only shut up, but he still stared at Zhang Lingfeng with indignation.

"Ling Feng, what happened just now was just a casual remark. I do know a few Divine Inscription Masters, but as you know, becoming a Blacksmith is no easy feat. Don't overthink it, go back now!"

"I'll say it calmly," said Master Ou.

"Hey, that's good."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

He immediately left the inner courtyard and returned to the outer courtyard to continue lying down.

"Grandpa, Zhang Lingfeng doesn't know what's good for him..."

Ou Jinhao was very angry.

"Shut up! You're supposed to be the future heir of the Ou family, yet you're so impetuous. How can we entrust the fleet to you in the future? Do you know that you've been led by the nose by Zhang Lingfeng from head to toe?"

"Master Ou said angrily."

"I……"

Ou Jinhao stammered and stopped talking.

“How could anyone not want to become a blacksmith, especially someone like Zhang Lingfeng who has no one to rely on? This guy has figured out that our Ou family wants to help him become a blacksmith, but he doesn’t want to be completely tied to our Ou family, so he’s pretending not to care.”

Ouye looked very confident.

"Father, what do you suggest we do?"

Old Ou asked.

"He's too green to play with me. I don't believe he can be as patient as we are. Let's leave this matter alone for a while, don't go looking for him, and don't bother with him."

"After a while, we'll bring in another Soul Master and spread the word that our Ou family wants to train a blacksmith. I don't believe this guy won't kneel down and beg us."

Mr. Ou was full of confidence, and his smile grew even brighter.

"This is a very clever plan."

Old Ou looked on with admiration.

"He doesn't have the ability to fight me."

Master Ou felt he had grasped Zhang Lingfeng's lifeline.

"Grandpa is amazing, I almost fell for his trick."

Ou Jinhao felt inferior.

in the coming time.

Master Ou, Old Ou, and Little Ou had been waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to come and ask them about the blacksmith, but Zhang Lingfeng seemed to have disappeared. He usually stayed in the outer courtyard and only entered the middle courtyard when it was time to eat. Otherwise, he stayed in the outer courtyard.

Ou Jinhao inquired and found out that Zhang Lingfeng routinely took a bath in the courtyard every day, then lay on the bed, took out a thick online novel from his storage ring, and read it with great enjoyment.

He would either take out a deck of cards he'd never seen before and try to play with Lao He and the others, or if no one wanted to play with him, he would play by himself.

Or take out some things that don't have any divine power fluctuations but can emit various sounds, about the size of a palm, rectangular, and according to Zhang Lingfeng's description, supposedly mobile phones playing games.

"Crack!"

"Hey!"

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

The rules of the god-level continent are too domineering.

The electronic devices brought from the world above couldn't withstand the pressure of this world's rules and were easily shattered. If he hadn't used his divine power to hold them up, they might have broken as soon as he took them out.

The game doesn't last long at all.

Network equipment also broke down very quickly.

He could only take out playing cards or novels to read. Fortunately, these items wouldn't be damaged even after being squeezed by the rules; they would just become thinner.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can keep up this act."

Ou Jinhao didn't take it seriously, thinking that Zhang Lingfeng was just playing psychological warfare against the Ou family.

Let's see who can't hold their breath first.

But the Ou family has never had a blacksmith. They didn't have one before, and they can accept that they don't have one now. Anyway, he doesn't seem to care.

He simply didn't believe Zhang Lingfeng could be indifferent.

He was confident that Zhang Lingfeng would definitely beg him.

"Is this guy hiding sacred rice?"

Suddenly, Ou Jinhao discovered that Zhang Lingfeng was hiding three bowls of divine rice every day. "Father, Zhang Lingfeng is hiding divine rice because he's going to exchange it for divine stones and then secretly go to a divine inscription master for a baptism."

Ou Jinhao said.

Mr. Ou frowned.

This matter was quite unexpected for him.

“If he hides three bowls of divine rice every day, he can only get a little over one divine stone a month. If he asks a divine inscription master to baptize him, he will need at least one or two hundred stones or even more. At this rate, it will take him twenty or thirty years to collect enough.”

Old Ou calculated.

With his eyes closed, Master Ou said, "Execute the second plan. Spread the word that a powerful Soul Master from our Ou family is coming over in the next few days, and our Ou family is prepared to sponsor him to become a blacksmith."

"it is good."

Ou Jinhao nodded.

He wanted to see if Zhang Lingfeng would be in a hurry this time.

The news spread that very evening.

"Master Ou has found a powerful Soul Essence Master and wants to sponsor him to become a blacksmith. Once the Ou family has a blacksmith, their status will be greatly improved. At least the people from the Divine Blade Sect will not come to ask for protection money, and we may be able to get a larger share of the divine stones."

"Have you heard about that Soul Master? He's said to be a level nine Soul Master and also a level six True God."

"Goodness, he's already a level nine Soul Master, how come he hasn't become a blacksmith yet?"

"Perhaps what they lack is an opportunity."

"That's not right. A level six True God could have earned enough money to pay for a Divine Inscription Master's baptism by now if he worked hard."

"What do you know? Finding a divine inscription master for baptism is easy, but finding the right divine inscription master for baptism is a difficult thing. It is said that Master Ou is full of confidence this time because he knows a powerful divine inscription master who has a high chance of helping the other party become a blacksmith."

"Goodness gracious, this is terrible!"

"The Ou family is about to achieve great success."

……

Everyone was talking about it.

Many people in the courtyard were talking about this.

Lao He and the others were very excited.

They've worked for the Ou family for many years. If the Ou family becomes successful, they certainly won't treat them unfairly.

"Gulu!"

Zhang Lingfeng was fast asleep nearby.

The rules of this world are incredibly powerful and profound. Even a true god would feel weary. He lay in bed reading a book, and when he came across a long passage, he found that the author was just padding the content, making it seem like a diary entry with no substance. The story was old-fashioned and repetitive, and he gradually grew tired and eventually fell asleep.

Regarding the Ou family finding a level nine Soul Essence Master.

Zhang Lingfeng didn't care at all about things like Master Ou knowing powerful divine inscription masters.

He just wanted to get more "lying down" points.

He had absolutely no interest in anything else.

What was Zhang Lingfeng's reaction after hearing this?

Ou Jinhao found Lao He.

"What was the reaction?"

Old He looked depressed.

"I'm asking you, what was Zhang Lingfeng's reaction when he learned that our Ou family was going to sponsor a level nine Soul Essence Master to become a blacksmith?"

Ou Jinhao said irritably.

Old He thought for a moment and said, "Gulp!"

Why are you snoring?

Ou Jinhao couldn't control himself and kicked Lao He.

Old He dodged the question and said, "That's Zhang Lingfeng's reaction. He was tired from reading today and fell asleep early this morning. He didn't seem to hear what we were saying."

"What? What time is it now?"

This was completely unexpected for Au Kam-ho.

Although true gods also have their own schedules, it is common for them to go without sleep for a period of time. Sometimes they go into seclusion for decades, remaining in a state of cultivation without feeling tired.

It's not that I haven't been cultivating; it's only when I relax and my divine power fades that I feel tired.

Zhang Lingfeng spends all day doing nothing, lying in bed reading, which inevitably makes him tired.

“He has his own routine. When it’s time, he lies in bed to sleep or rest, and he always sleeps very soundly.”

Old He explained.

"Mud can't hold up a wall."

Ou Jinhao was very upset and instructed, "Talk to him about this properly tomorrow."

"it is good."

Old He nodded.

The next day, Zhang Lingfeng was still sleeping in bed.

Upon opening his eyes, he discovered that Old He had been cultivating for quite some time.

Upon seeing him wake up, Old He said, "Yesterday, Little Master Ou came to me and asked if I knew that the Ou family was planning to sponsor a level nine Soul Yuan Master to become a blacksmith. I told her you were asleep, and Little Master Ou asked me to tell you what she told me last night."

"Oh, thank you."

Zhang Lingfeng rubbed his eyes.

They didn't take Lao He's words seriously at all.

He didn't quite understand what they were saying, so he simply ignored it.

After a quick wash, Zhang Lingfeng methodically put the "lying flat" routine into practice, trying to find a way to earn "lying flat points."

Ou Jinhao thought Zhang Lingfeng would come to see him today, or go to the inner courtyard to find his grandfather, but Zhang Lingfeng stayed in the outer courtyard without making a sound.

He was so curious that he went to find Lao He again.

"Didn't you tell Zhang Lingfeng about this?"

Ou Jinhao asked.

"I told them."

Old He looked completely innocent.

"How did he say?"

"He did say that."

"That's it?"

"Ok!"

Ou Jinhao found it strange.

I asked Lao He how he told Zhang Lingfeng about it.

Old He quickly repeated what he had just said.

"You idiot, why are you saying directly that I instructed you to do this?"

Ou Jinhao was furious.

"You were the one who told me to say it."

Old He argued his case based on reason.

"you……"

Ou Jinhao calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and said, "Old He, you and Zhang Lingfeng are the closest in the courtyard. Let me ask you, if Zhang Lingfeng becomes a blacksmith, wouldn't you feel proud?"

"Of course."

Old He nodded.

"In that case, shouldn't you persuade Zhang Lingfeng to take the initiative to cooperate with our Ou family?"

Ou Jinhao reminded him.

"Your Ou family wants to..."

Old He's eyes widened.

Ou Jinhao smiled and nodded, giving Lao He an approving look.

"Don't worry, Young Master Ou, I'll go find Zhang Lingfeng right away. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I definitely won't let him miss it."

Old He looked excited.

He quickly ran into the house, shouting, "Ling Feng, your opportunity has come! Little Master Ou wants you to follow that level nine Soul Yuan Master and work as his assistant. If he becomes a blacksmith in the future, maybe you can become a blacksmith too."

“I@#￥%……&*·）”

Just as he was about to leave, Ou Jinhao couldn't help but curse. (End of Chapter)
