Chapter 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, it was impossible for Qin Ming not to be envious of those students who could enter a cultivation department. Who did not want to have power and strength, and shine in this era?

The reality was, innate cultivation talent could not explain everything. Many students with similar talents to Qin Ming had large amounts of cultivation resources because of their good family background. As a result, not only did they enter a martial academy’s cultivation department, but they could also successfully join the ranks of cultivators in the future.

In any era, money was not omnipotent, but it was impossible to do anything without money.

As long as a person’s aptitude was not too poor, he could rely on cultivation resources to become a cultivator.

He would be deficient in the academics but proficient in the martial arts.

For someone like Qin Ming, who came from an ordinary family, his parents naturally could not fork out much money to help him become a cultivator.

Therefore, when he realized this, he did not complain to his parents. Instead, he silently gave up on the unrealistic idea of getting into a martial academy’s cultivation department.

At home, he never mentioned cultivation resources.

Even if his parents asked about his college application, he would only smile and say that it was impossible for him to enter a martial academy with his qualifications.

He did not want to put more pressure on his parents to the point of making them feel guilty.

He was a child of an ordinary family and should live an ordinary life.

That was what he had always thought during his three years in high school.

Until today, when the appearance of the monster login device caused ripples in his placid heart.

Smelling the aroma, Gu Tao’s stomach could not help but growl.

“Qin Ming, is the food ready?” She lay her chin on the dining table like a puddle of mud and called out weakly.

She had not eaten for almost two days and was starving.

“It’s about time,” Qin Ming said as he brought a few dishes to the dining table and scooped a bowl of rice for each of them.

“I’m eating…” After the dishes were served, Gu Tao straightened her body as if it was a conditioned reflex. She stared without blinking at the few dishes that looked good. She was almost drooling.

“Okay, eat up.”

After Qin Ming sat down, Gu Tao began to eat.

She picked up a piece of pork rib and stuffed it into her mouth. Then a blissful expression appeared on her face.

“Delicious!”

When a starving foodie finally ate a delicious meal, it was not too much to cry.

Although Gu Tao did not cry, she had been thanking Qin Ming for this meal with her actions.

With extraordinary speed, she quickly swept up the entire dining table.

Although her mouth was not big, she could gobble food in big mouthfuls.

Anyone who had cooked before knew that it was most satisfying to watch others eat one’s food with relish.

Qin Ming would have felt happy, but when the girl in front of him ate three large bowls of rice and all the dishes on the table, he had no other expression other than shock and disbelief.

On the other hand, Gu Tao was squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

“Although I’m not full, I have to say that your culinary skills are amazing!” Gu Tao first touched her still flat abdomen. She felt that it was a pity that she was only 70% full. Then she praised Qin Ming’s culinary skills.

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Ming’s forehead. This girl is not full yet.

“Oh right, is there any more food?”

“That’s it…”

The girl’s three large bowls were all super large. One bowl was equivalent to two regular bowls of rice.

The food he had intended to keep for tomorrow was already consumed.

“Is that so? What a pity.” Hearing this, Gu Tao seemed to give up completely.

“Have you always had such a big appetite?” After the meal, although it was rude, Qin Ming could not help but ask.

“Not really. It’s just that after becoming a cultivator, I usually need to replenish so much energy, so I eat more…” Gu Tao blushed and explained herself softly.

“You’re already a cultivator?!” Qin Ming exclaimed.

He would not know if he did not ask, but he was shocked to hear that the girl in front of him, who was one or two years younger than him, was actually a cultivator.

“Yes, I’m a Weapon Spirit Warrior,” Gu Tao said as she opened her right hand, which radiated a ray of golden light.

If Qin Ming were a martial artist, he would have sensed the intense energy fluctuations emanating from Gu Tao’s body.

However, he was only an ordinary student now, so he only felt a breeze on his face.

In the next moment, a small three-legged cauldron suddenly condensed in Gu Tao’s right palm. It was golden and emitted a faint halo.

Under Gu Tao’s control, the circular cauldron spun above her palm.

Qin Ming took a closer look and realized that this Golden Cauldron was a little illusory. It was not a solid object.

But even so, it was enough to shock him.

Although he was not an Weapon Spirit Warrior, he was a student of the new era who had received an education. He had some knowledge about Weapon Spirit Warriors.

Weapon Spirit Warrior, Spirit Nurturing Master, and Great Martial Artist were the three mainstream cultivation systems.

Great Martial Artists were the first to emerge. They tempered their bodies and absorbed Qi to temper their bodies.

Great martial artists could unleash immense power with a single punch and kick. It was not difficult for them to split mountains and overturn rivers.

As for Spirit Nurturing Masters, they tempered their minds and completed the sublimation of their souls.

Often, powerful Spirit Nurturing Masters could kill people invisibly and even toy with them. Although they did not have the terrifying physical body of a Great Martial Artist, the destructive power they could cause in battles was not inferior to that of Great Martial Artists.

It could be said that a Great Martial Artist and a Spirit Nurturing Master were two completely different cultivation paths.

As for the Weapon Spirit Warrior cultivation system that had risen rapidly in the past 20 years, it was actually a melding of the two cultivation systems, the Great Martial Artist and the Spirit Nurturing Master.

According to Qin Ming’s teacher, without the Great Martial Artist and Spirit Nurturing Master, there would be no Weapon Spirit Warrior.

They were inextricably linked.

The path of cultivation for a Weapon Spirit Warrior required both powerful physical strength and unique mental strength. It could be considered the best of both worlds.

It sounded impressive and scary to young people who had just entered high school.

Weapon Spirit Warriors were a novelty of this era. To young people, the profession was new and appealing.

Many children dreamed of becoming Weapon Spirit Warriors. Even Little Qin Ming had such a dream.

When he grew up and understood more, Qin Ming knew that there were only a few children who could become Weapon Spirit Warriors.

Unfortunately, he was not one of them.

In the cultivation system of the Weapon Spirit Warrior, the weapon was the focus.

Refining a divine weapon, condensing its soul, and forging the Great Dao!

The weapon was the key.

The small golden cauldron in Gu Tao’s hand was the artifact she had condensed.

The reason why Qin Ming was shocked was that Gu Tao was not only a Weapon Spirit Warrior, but she had also forged a weapon.

How old is she…

It had to be known that not every Weapon Spirit Warrior could forge their own weapon.

It was definitely impossible for someone who had just become a Weapon Spirit Warrior.

This also meant that the girl in front of Qin Ming was not as simple as a little cultivator who had just stepped onto the path of a Weapon Spirit Warrior. In terms of cultivation and strength, she was probably much stronger than he had imagined.

If it were anyone else who was slightly older, Qin Ming would not be so surprised. The key was that Gu Tao was so young.

To have such cultivation at such a young age, it was obvious that she was an extraordinary genius.

When he thought of the father the girl had mentioned previously, he vaguely felt that he was not simply an instructor at Gulan Academy.

“How is it? Isn’t my cauldron beautiful?” Gu Tao raised her head slightly and was a little smug, like a child showing off her toy.

“In the future, when it solidifies, I’ll use it to cook ingredients. The food would be delicious…”

To this little girl, the original intention of condensing this cauldron seemed to be to enjoy delicious food.

“So… this is only a boiler?” Qin Ming was dumbfounded.

He had thought that this cauldron would be a murderous weapon in the future. Who knew that Gu Tao’s words did not seem to be what he thought.

“Not really, probably…” Gu Tao said uncertainly.

“Daddy is very satisfied with this cauldron.”
