Chapter 326
Peerless Spear Immortal arrived and asked curiously, How did you make your breakthrough? It seems you didnt cultivate any supreme cultivation technique
Ouyezi touched his forehead, puzzled, and said, Actually, I find it very strange myself! These past few days, Ive been forging iron non-stop, and while doing so, I suddenly had an epiphany. All my past forging experiences flooded into my mind. I distilled the essence from the dross, and when I woke up, I found myself having made a breakthrough!
Ah, this Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Was there someone who didnt know how they had made their breakthrough?
In fact, this is quite normal! Master Painter joined in.
Looking at the bewildered Ouyezi, he smiled and said, When I made my breakthrough, I experienced the same thing! Because we are not following the traditional path of breakthroughs! Think about it carefully now. Have you noticed that your sword-forging skills have improved?
Ouyezi thought seriously and nodded repeatedly, Now that you mention it, its true! Ive found that my forging skills seem to have taken a big leap forward! In the past, to forge a divine sword, even if I had all the materials and my mental state was at its best, the success rate was less than thirty percent!
But now that I think about it, I realize that forging a divine sword doesnt have to be so complicated! As long as I have the materials, I am more than ninety percent confident that I can forge a divine sword!
As he said the last sentence, he was full of confidence and his spirit soared.
Thats right! Because you have attained the Dao through your craft, when your level and experience reach the Grandmaster level, it will be like this! This is also a path opened by the heavens and earth for us, the dedicated ones!
In that case, this is truly a great thing, haha! Ouyezi laughed heartily.
Just then, Eunuch Liu, who was with Lin Beifan, came over and congratulated Ouyezi with a bow, Congratulations to Master Ouyezi for attaining the Grandmaster level! His Majesty has already ordered a grand banquet to celebrate your achievement!
Hearing about the banquet, Ouyezis craving for alcohol was immediately aroused.
Theres a banquet, lets go!
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the imperial palace to attend the feast specially prepared for Ouyezi.
At this banquet, there were not only delicious dishes but also various fine wines specially prepared by Lin Beifans imperial kitchen.
After all, Ouyezi was a man who loved his drink. Now that he had broken through to Grandmaster level, how could he not be allowed to drink to his hearts content?
During the banquet, although Lin Beifan sat in the main seat, the real protagonist was Ouyezi.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m
Everyone offered him toasts, and he returned them in kind, never putting down his wine jar.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen empty wine jars.
Lin Beifan said with a smile, Master Ouyezi, drink as much as you like, tonights supply of alcohol is guaranteed to be sufficient, all my treasured wines are open to you!
Ouyezi laughed heartily, Your Majesty, those are your words! If I accidentally drink them all, you cant come asking me to settle the account!
Lin Beifan generously said, Drink all you want. If theyre gone, its on me!
Thank you, Your Majesty. Bring the wine over quickly!
In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ouyezis side was filled with courtly fine wines for his enjoyment.
Ouyezi drank until his face was flushed, and then he stood up with a glass of wine to toast Lin Beifan, gratefully saying, The one I need to thank the most for my breakthrough is Your Majesty!
Everyone looked over, puzzled.
Ouyezi continued, If not for His Majesty providing the best forging environment and various precious materials for practice, I could never have achieved this breakthrough! In other words, my Grandmaster status was essentially fed by an immense amount of resources! So this cup, I toast to Your Majesty!
Everyone listened and finally nodded in agreement.
This forging Grandmaster was different from other Grandmasters, who all made their breakthroughs through cultivation, but this forging Grandmaster made his breakthrough entirely through forging.
Without enough forging and weapons made, a breakthrough would be impossible.
And all this required a massive amount of resources to support.
Ouyezi was furious and went straight to the imperial palace, asking Lin Beifan to dispatch troops and experts to surround his residence, not allowing any fly to come in, which finally spared him the disturbance.
Thus, the other powers were left with nothing but envy and jealousy.
What kind of soul-bewitching potion did Great Xia give Ouyezi to make him so loyal?
It must be the grace of recognition! After all, Ouyezi was already approached by Great Xia before he became a Grandmaster. They have deep feelings for each other and wont be easily swayed!
Now that Great Xia is already so strong and has added a forging Grandmaster, wont they become even stronger?
Thats for sure, at least theyll have more divine weapons than us!
Who will stop Great Xia in the future?
They were left with nothing but tough talk.
Without the strength to stand against Great Xia, they could only watch helplessly as Great Xia grew stronger and stronger, while they could do nothing about it.
Unless all the powers of the world unite, but is that even possible?
Now that its April, the rice grain that have been planted are mostly sprouting from the fields, each one fresh and green.
Seeing this scene, the farmers of Great Xia are quietly delighted in their hearts.
This year is bound to bring another good harvest!
However, farmers in other countries are gradually becoming distressed.
Because the crops they planted this year have not yet sprouted.
Although various reasons have made this years spring plowing somewhat late, it was only by half a month, and by now there has been enough time.
The seedlings should have appeared by now, so why is there still no sign of them?
In a field of the Great Wu Empire.
Several farmers are squatting on the ridges, looking at the barren land before them with faces full of worry.
One old man, while puffing on his dry pipe, said, What do you think about these rice grains why havent they sprouted yet? Since the start of spring this year, the weather has been fair, and now its time for them to grow, so why is there not even a hint of them?
Some say that the rice we planted this year is Great Xias high-yield variety! This rice must have some special qualities, maybe it will grow later. We shouldnt jinx trouble! someone comforted themselves.
If its high-yield rice, then it should sprout earlier and grow big and lush. Otherwise, it wont sprout at all if more time passes! Its almost summer in the blink of an eye, and if theres no grain, well all starve! someone else fretted with concern.
But what can we, ordinary farmers, do about it? another sighed.
At this moment, an old farmer stood up and said, Lets not talk anymore. We need to report this situation!
Hes right, thats the only thing we can do!
Thus, information from all sides quickly converged at the court of the Great Wu Dynasty.
