Chapter 60: Luo Lao's Strength

  Rolling on the ground for collection and asking for recommendation votes! Han Li doesn't want to fall, Han Li wants to rise up~~

  Man Tian felt the three old men occasionally looking at him, with a strange color in their eyes. This made his heart somewhat surprised, but they were too far away to hear what they were discussing. However, he vaguely heard that the simple old man called Luo Lao "Luo Shixiong".

  That simple old man heard Luo Lao's eyes lit up, and said: "If so, this child's future is boundless. Brother Luo, don't pretend to be mysterious anymore, you know what I care about is his attainments in forging!"

  Lao Lao seemed reluctant to say more, but he continued: "Three months ago, I guided him to the burial grounds of the barbarians. Originally, I just wanted him to go there and try his luck at subduing a fierce beast. But unexpectedly, three months later, he advanced from being a Bronze Barbarian to a Silver Barbarian."

  Lao's words stopped here, but the simple old man and the hunchbacked old man were both shocked at the same time. What was buried in the land of the barbarians, they naturally knew clearly. Being able to leap from bronze to white silver barbarian in just three months, he must have stepped onto the altar!!

  What does it mean to ascend to the altar with a tempered body and return successfully? The gap between this child's state of mind and will is astonishing. Whether it's cultivation or forging, the state of mind and will have always been second only to talent in determining future achievements.

  The simple old man stared at the barbarian sky with a hint of fervor, while the hunchbacked old man's eyes shone brightly. The two looked at the barbarian sky and were shocked and frightened!

  "As for his forging skills..." Old Luo's words paused, causing the simple old man to go frantic in his heart.

  Lao Lao's expression turned somewhat serious as he looked at Man Tian and said, "I sense the... yuan force within his body!"

  The simple old man and the hunchbacked old man trembled all over, suddenly staring blankly, with shock written all over their faces. A faint glow flickered on their aged countenances, and fine lines of wrinkles appeared vaguely.

  "No wonder Brother Luo came forward to vouch for this young man earlier!! With this young man, Mount Qi won't have any worries about prospering!" The hunchbacked old man said in a low voice.

  "No way, he stays in Xiaoguzong will only cover his light! Guzong is the sky where he can soar!" Lao Luo vetoed.

  The old man smiled and said: "I'm really looking forward to it, after this child enters the ancient sect, how will the Bone Master Uncle, who is known as a madman, treat him! Haha!"

  Man Tian stood far away, staring blankly at the three people who were sometimes laughing loudly, sometimes serious, and sometimes tense. He was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on!

  "Come here, Man Tian!" Man Tian, who was surprised in his heart, suddenly heard Old Luo's words. He looked up at Old Luo, hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward.

  "Nice to meet you, Old Luo and two seniors!" Mo Tian said respectfully as he walked up to the three of them.

  "What is forging?" asked the old man with a hunchback as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Man Tian was taken aback, he looked up at the simple old man and the hunchbacked old man, vaguely feeling that they were extraordinary. After a moment of contemplation, Man Tian thought of what Man Gong had said earlier: "If one can forge life with the hammer in their hand, then it is forging."

  A simple old man, a hunchbacked old man, even Luo Lao's eyes lit up.

  "Lu Lao highly recommended you, saying that you are qualified to be one of the ten quotas to go to Gu Zong. However, among the countless Nanman blacksmiths, only a few can become true masters, and most people want to use blacksmithing to gain benefits or obtain a certain status. Why do you want to be a blacksmith?" The simple old man stared at Man Tian and asked.

  The old man's words made Mo Tian stunned, he heard that Xiong Yue said the ten quotas of Gu Zong, but didn't expect Lao Luo to come forward and praise himself. He looked at Lao Luo with gratitude, then collected his thoughts and thought carefully.

  Why did you temper yourself?

  He thought back to his experiences over the past year, and in the end, he had embarked on this path of cultivation because he wanted to walk the path of refinement. Now, he continued to persist in his cultivation for the sake of refinement. He cultivated to temper his mind, and he cultivated to increase his strength.

  Looking at the simple old man, Man Tian Dao said: "My original intention of learning to forge was to embark on the path of cultivation! There are countless ways to cultivate, the Man clan cultivates with bitter strength, the Eastern Territory cultivates with true essence, and I cultivate through forging!"

  The simple old man's eyes flashed, and he said: "With your strength, you should cultivate with bitter practice! Why do you still want to choose forging? Perhaps one day you will understand that forging may not be able to improve your strength, what will you do?"

  "Forging has been able to continue until now, countless predecessors have proven the value of forging, and wasn't the original intention of the predecessors to use forging as a means to improve their strength? So, I will persist in going forward!" Mantian said firmly. He didn't understand why the simple old man would say this, but once Mantian made up his mind, it was hard to change.

  "If you spend your whole life studying and cultivating, only to find that you can only forge a powerful tool, but your own strength remains stagnant, unable to achieve even your own revenge or goals, then perhaps you will regret it!" The one who said this was not the simple-minded old man, but Luo Lao. His turbid eyes revealed complex emotions.

  Man Tian's face slightly solidified. At first, he chose to forge because he wanted to use forging as a catalyst to embark on the path of cultivation. Today's Man Tian, with his extraordinary strength and pride in surpassing his peers, had become even more determined on the path of forging. No matter what the outcome was, Man Tian would not regret it! At this moment, Man Tian said firmly: "Perhaps I will regret it later, but at this moment, I will still persist! Moreover, forging is cultivation! What Old Luo said must be about a certain bottleneck, but it's not just forging that has bottlenecks, cultivation also has them. If one can't break through the bottleneck of forging, how can they talk about breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation? Since he had chosen this path, he could only move forward! As for the outcome, who knew?"

  "Well said!" The simple old man smiled all over his face, saying loudly, his eyes couldn't help but look at Lao Luo, his eyelids twitching a few times, with an unbearable emotion.

  "Is it just a bottleneck?" Old Luo's eyes became increasingly turbid and confused, but gradually, this confused gaze became brighter!

  "Boom!!" Suddenly, a terrifying aura burst out from Luo Lao's body, and a silver light enveloped the entire space like a fierce sun, plunging it into daylight. Man Tian only heard the sound of bones cracking from within Luo Lao's body, while his hunched figure suddenly expanded wildly. What shocked Man Tian even more was that a series of stripes appeared on Luo Lao's face, starting from his neck and converging at his brow.

  A white mark like a hammer floated on Luo Lao's brow, exceptionally eye-catching!

  Man Tian took a deep breath, his eyes fixed tightly on Luo Lao, whose wrinkles all converged at the center of his eyebrows. He had never thought that Luo Lao would be an Awakened Strongman!!

  "In the past, I was like you, young and vigorous, and chose to take the path of forging. But as time passed, my firm heart was eroded by the years! Perhaps now, I am at a bottleneck, everything has its limits, let alone forging? Today, your words have awakened me!" Old Luo said with a thick voice, gazing at Man Tian.

  Stared blankly at Old Luo, unable to speak for a moment.

  "Haha! This is the Luo Yu that everyone in southern Xinjiang knows and talks about!!" The simple old man laughed loudly, while the hunchbacked old man's face was flushed with excitement, the wrinkles on their faces appeared and disappeared, and Tian's eyes were wide open!

  Are these three all awakened strong ones?

  Not just the barbarians, but even those disciples who touched the Tianxuan Pavilion were all stunned!

  "Is... is... Old Man Luo a powerful Awakened One?"

  "How...how could it be like this? I used to yell at him!"

  All the disciples inhaled a cold breath, thinking of their previous attitude towards Old Luo, they trembled all over and dispersed in an instant.
