Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?
Chapter 42 Ultimately Bowed to Life

Above Mirror Lake.

Chu Yuan held a Golden Treasure Chest in his hands, silk on his back, and stood upon a Magic Cloud under his feet.

His gaze swept over the entire Mirror Lake.

Admiring the beauty of Mirror Lake.

But he hadn't forgotten the reason for his visit.

His Divine Sense rapidly scanned around, hoping to replace the blacksmith shop.

Finally, within his Divine Sense.

He saw the blacksmith shop built beside Mirror Lake.

An old and somewhat dilapidated blacksmith shop!

This is the place!

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up as he flew down towards the blacksmith shop.

When Chu Yuan landed on the ground and set down the silk and the chest, he turned around and came face to face with two people standing in front of the blacksmith shop.

An elder and a youth.

This elder and youth were both staring at Chu Yuan with an intense gaze.

That look...

It was as if two ravenous wolves had set their eyes on a little lamb.

These two people...

Chu Yuan felt a chill down his spine.

Could it be that look in their eyes was because they found him too handsome and took a fancy to him?

That's impossible.

No matter how handsome he was, it couldn't possibly provoke this kind of reaction.

Something was off, seriously off!

They weren't drooling over his body!

They must be drooling over his money, the Golden Treasure Chest on his back, the silk, as well as the clothes on his back worth a hundred taels of silver—these were all money.

Money has always captivated the human heart since ancient times!

These two people, they deserve a beating!

Chu Yuan became vigilant, maintaining a calm and composed appearance on the surface, but the hand hidden within his sleeves trembled slightly.

This was due to the accumulation of Mana to an extreme, causing him to lose full control and tremble.

In front of the blacksmith shop, the elder and the youth were incredibly excited.

Daoist Impermanence managed to keep his composure, his emotions somewhat tumultuous.

He had just witnessed the man's elegance in a painting, and now he was meeting the real person.

The young man in fine clothes could not contain himself, his face flushed with excitement and his body shaking from the intense thrill.

It was the Hidden Sect Master who he had only heard of in conversations with his Respected Master, and now he'd actually appeared before him.

Daoist Impermanence coughed, giving the finely-dressed young man a look, signaling him to mind his image.

The next moment, Daoist Impermanence stepped forward, coming close to Chu Yuan, and slowly began to speak.

"Fellow Daoist, no, Senior, um, this, I, um..."

Daoist Impermanence fell silent and very much wanted to slap himself.

How could he start off with such an awkward opening?

There was nothing for it.

Daoist Impermanence truly didn't know how to speak to the being before him.

Although he himself was also a figure hidden from the world, compared to the person in front of him, he was nothing.

The person before him was definitely his senior.

In terms of Cultivation Levels as well as age, he was!

Don't ask how he knew; the painting alone was proof enough!

One who grasps the stars and plucks the sun and moon!

There is no one like me in this world!

Start Quote Just that single line revealed the great daring of this being.

If his guess was right,

This person was definitely an extraordinary prodigy from an ancient era.

Only a being of that caliber could utter such words.

But Daoist Impermanence wasn't one to flatter; he was always straightforward with his words, and in front of such a being,

He didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan, observing this from the side, scoffed in his heart.

Well well well.

It turns out this guy is a novice.

It must be his first time trying to rob someone.

He's so nervous even just speaking.

His first try at robbing someone, and he found me?

Celook Unlike.

Your luck is just bad.

Just as Chu Yuan was preparing to strike first.

Daoist Impermanence spoke again.

He only heard him say, "May I ask what brings Senior here? If there is anything Poor Dao can assist with, Senior, you may speak freely."

Daoist Impermanence had cast his reservations to the wind. Since he didn't know how to flatter, he decided to just speak with a normal mindset.

But inside, he sighed.

These days, not knowing how to flatter was a fault.

It seemed that he, Daoist Impermanence, should bow to life and learn how to flatter.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan, who had gathered his mana, shook his hand and stared at Daoist Impermanence for a long time.

Did this fellow realize I'm not the robbing type and thus give up straightforwardly?

Good heavens!

I almost slapped you to death with my Golden Core Realm mana!

Chu Yuan had no idea that the person standing before him was a Tribulation-Transcending Great Power.

"What else would one do at a blacksmith's shop? Of course to buy weapons. What kind of weapons do you have? Bring them all out for me to see."

Chu Yuan's tone wasn't very pleasant.

After all, the person before him had once entertained the thought of robbing him of his money.

No wonder his tone was displeased.

"Buy weapons? Senior, please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Impermanence quickly stepped aside to clear a path.

Seeing this,

Chu Yuan stepped forward and walked into the blacksmith's shop.

Daoist Impermanence followed Chu Yuan and entered as well.

The trembling young man clad in luxurious garments was left shaking, still trembling even when there was no one in front of him.

...

The inside of the blacksmith's shop was not big, just quite ordinary.

There was only a wooden table, a forging table, and several pitch-black wooden barrels underneath the table.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

It was largely empty.

"You don't have any weapons in here?"

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"There are, there are, please wait a moment, Senior."

Daoist Impermanence replied and hurriedly went into the back room to rummage around.

Chu Yuan watched the old man's retreating figure, feeling utterly perplexed.

Calling me 'Senior'?

An old man calling me 'Senior'?

His mind must be buzzing with confusion.

Could it be that in the Cultivation Realm, when encountering a customer buying something, one should address them as 'Senior' as a form of respect?

This was something Chu Yuan wasn't quite clear about.

To tell the truth, even now, his understanding of the rules of the Cultivation Realm was still superficial.

After a while,

Daoist Impermanence dragged out a large chest.

He opened the chest to reveal a full chest of weapons.

"Senior, please take a look, how are the weapons in here?"

A chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on Daoist Impermanence's usually stern face.

"Let me see."

Chu Yuan regained his focus and carefully inspected the weapons in the chest.

There were quite a lot of them.

At least forty or fifty pieces, tightly packed together.

All kinds of weapons were present...

But these weapons seemed somewhat subpar.

Each one of them was dull and lackluster, and they all seemed to be blunted.

Is this it?

Chu Yuan's expression was somewhat odd.

Seeing this, Daoist Impermanence beside him revealed a smile.

He believed that these items would surely satisfy this being.

These were not weapons he had forged; he couldn't create such divine weapons.

These divine weapons were passed down in the heritage he controlled.

As to why they were dull and dull-witted...

There was only one reason.

Divine artifacts naturally conceal their splendor!

"Senior, what do you think of these weapons? If you like them, you can take one..."

Daoist Impermanence hadn't even finished speaking.

When Chu Yuan interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, they will do, just barely. Pack them all up and take them away. These weapons of yours aren't too good, let's say ten taels of silver per jin. You do the math and tell me how much it is."

Daoist Impermanence: "???"
