MEIWITA Chapter 716: Optimistic About Her

Lou Mu Yan put away the wind attribute natal magic tool, tidied up, then went to the Hall Master of the Central Hall.

She hadn’t come out since she moved into the palace, and many core pupils in the Central Hall regarded her as an unusually mysterious genius.

She flew in the air on a golden longsword, her long hair fluttering in the wind. Many people cast their eyes on her from a distance, filled with surprise and curiosity.

After reaching the third floor, Lou Mu Yan knocked on the door.

“Come in.” A loud voice sounded.

She opened the door and entered. There was only Hall Master Rong inside.

“Little girl, you’re finally willing to come out.” Rong Liao smiled kindly, “It’s really rare that a young person can endure loneliness and curiosity like you.”

“I’ve been refining a natal magic tool, so I was in seclusion.” Lou Mu Yan smiled faintly.

There was some interest in Rong Liao’s eyes, and he said with a smile: “I heard that you’re also a smith, show me the magic tool you refined.”

Without hesitation, Lou Mu Yan took out the wind-attribute longsword and handed it to Rong Liao.

Rong Liao looked at it carefully, and gradually became entranced. After a while, he returned to his senses and said: “Lou girl, I really didn’t expect you to be able to refine a divine tool. If your smithing skills can reach grade 8, then this natal magic tool would be even more perfect.”

He, himself, was a grade 8 advanced-level smith, and he couldn’t help but praise Lou Mu Yan’s natal magic tool. If it weren’t that this girl had powerful talent and that it might not take many years to catch up to him, he would’ve liked to accept her as his disciple.

“Mm, my smithing is the weakest among the five specialisations.” Lou Mu Yan said with a helpless smile.

Among the five specialisations, her smithing skill was the least used. This time, she was able to perform extraordinarily and refine a low-quality divine tool purely due to the accumulation of knowledge from the Immortal Cultivation World, and the result of comprehending in the Pagodas of Enlightenment last time.

Rong Liao pointed to the complicated patterns engraved on the silver longsword and said: “The eighty-eight restrictions you set in the magic tool are very perfect. I’m ashamed to say even I cannot compare, but from the overall sense, it’s indeed true that you’re lacking some heat in this.

“It’s not that your talent isn’t good, nor that you can’t perfect it, and neither do you lack experience, but you’re very unfamiliar with this, and it can be seen you refine very few magic tools.”

Rong Liao said solemnly: “Little girl, your talent for refining magic tools is really strong, much stronger than many core pupils in the Central Hall who specialise in cultivating smithing, but you neglect to strengthen your training in this area. You truly shouldn’t.

“If you spent more time on smithing, you might have even been able to successfully advance to a grade 8 smith right now.” He added earnestly: “Don’t waste such good talent.”

“Pupil thanks Hall Master for the guidance.” Lou Mu Yan replied with a modest smile.

What Rong Liao said was the truth. She paid too little attention to smithing. Although she outperformed herself this time, but it couldn’t be denied that she still found it difficult to refine the low-quality divine tool.

“With your talent, there’s great hope that you’ll complete the eighth floor of the Smithing Pagoda of Enlightenment.” Rong Liao said: “You have to perform well this time, and don’t hide anything. After arriving at the Pagodas of Enlightenment, comprehend however much you can comprehend.

“Everyone has the opportunity to enter each Pagoda of Enlightenment, but there’s only one chance to comprehend, so you must grasp it well.” Rong Liao still has some confidence in Lou Mu Yan.

His hope was that Lou Mu Yan could comprehend all five specialisations to the eighth floor, so that she should be ranked in the top five among the younger generation.

“Hall Master, has anyone comprehended completely to the tenth floor?” Lou Mu Yan asked curiously.

Rong Liao nodded, “Yes, since the appearance of the Pagodas of Enlightenment, as far as I know, a total of six people have comprehended to the tenth floor of the Pagodas of Enlightenment in the ten thousand years, and they all expectedly became top powerhouses on the Continent.

“The final three floors of the Pagodas of Enlightenment not only represent specialisations, but also hidden laws and mysteries. If you can step into the eighth floor, you will experience the ineffable benefits.”

Rong Liao said with a smile: “I comprehended till the ninth floor in the Smithing Pagoda of Enlightenment, and after I came out, I broke through from a grade 7 smith to a grade 8 smith.”

“You must also have hope of advancing to a grade 9 smith.” Lou Mu Yan said with a more definitive tone.

When she was on Tian’ling Continent, she went to comprehend in the Pagodas of Enlightenment and learnt that the ten-story pagoda represented the ten grades. If the Hall Master finished comprehending the ninth floor, then it’d only be a matter of time before he became a grade 9 smith.

“Indeed, I’ve already touched the barrier of grade 9, and I believe it won’t take many years to breakthrough to grade 9.” Rong Liao replied confidently.

“Hall Master, does the Pagodas of Enlightenment after the eighth floor correspond to the specialisation grade of the person who comprehends it?” Lou Mu Yan asked after a moment of silence.

“No, after the eighth floor, although there’s some correlation with the specialisation grade of the person comprehending, but not by much.” Rong Liao said: “The last three floors are all about talent, mental energy, and comprehension ability. If all three could be achieved at the standard of a peerless genius, then there’s still hope that you could comprehend to the tenth floor.

“For example, I was only a grade 7 smith when I entered the Pagoda of Enlightenment, but because of my dedication and love for smithing, plus my natural comprehension ability, I managed to reach the ninth floor.

“Another example is a powerhouse who reached the tenth floor of the Array Pagoda of Enlightenment thousands of years ago. At the time, he was only a grade 8 array master.

“Little girl, your current achievements in the five specialisations are very high. You only have one chance to enter the Pagodas of Enlightenment in Central State in your life, you must cherish it. The effect brought by one extra floor of comprehension is definitely the difference between heaven and earth.

“And not only does it improve your specialisations, but it also brings infinite benefits to your future advancement to Unification Realm.” Rong Liao paused, then said with a smile: “Do your best.”

“Thank you, Hall Master, for telling me.” Lou Mu Yan said with a look of gratitude.

She heard that there were many differences between the Pagodas of Enlightenment in Central State and those in the lower interface. After all, one was a genuine, and one was a fake. When she was on Tian’ling Continent, she only comprehended to the seventh floor, which was linked to the grade of specialisations.

However, she didn’t expect that the last three floors of the Central State Pagodas of Enlightenment had no grade restrictions on specialisations. She clenched her hands—she must try her best to advance to the eighth floor and above.

“You’re welcome, it’s not completely aimless for me to tell you so much either.” Rong Liao said bluntly.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and said: “Hall Master, do tell.”

“Each time the Pagodas of Enlightenment are opened, in fact, our several forces will secretly compete to see which side’s pupils can comprehend to a higher floor of the pagoda. Occasionally, the powerhouses will also make bets among themselves to uplift the boring life.

“Of course, this is also related to the secret rankings of our major forces and the distribution of some benefits. The Union Leader, myself, and several other elders are very optimistic about you. I hope you’ll go all out and not disappoint us.”

Rong Liao wasn’t a person who liked to plot secretly, so he casually mentioned all kinds of interests without pointing them all out directly. He believed that with Lou Mu Yan’s intelligence, she could naturally know what to do.

Lou Mu Yan thought about it. She didn’t dislike the fact that the several major forces secretly competed and split benefits. After all, where there were people, there were competitions. It was also precisely because of these competitions, and goals, that people would constantly want to surpass the goals and strive to make progress.

“Hall Master, don’t worry, I will definitely do my best and won’t let any of you down.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes burst with a confident and flamboyant brilliance, astonishingly bright.

“Good.” Rong Liao liked Lou Mu Yan’s confident and flamboyant energy very much.

“Now begins the first mission since you entered the Mercenary Union and became a core pupil of the Central Hall. After you complete it, the contribution points reward will be very generous.” Rong Liao smiled meaningfully at Lou Mu Yan: “The opportunity is very rare, you should properly grasp onto it.”

“I will.”
