Chapter 640: Astonishing the Path of Crafts

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

Inside the room, Ling Xian’s expression was calm as he casually looked for the page of missions related to crafts.

Though he belonged to the path of crafts, his way of making crafts largely differed from the traditional way. Plus, he had no knowledge regarding crafts the way others did, as he could not answer even the simplest questions asked by Dong Fang Yu. Therefore, he didn’t have much hope about succeeding with missions related to arrays.

To put it bluntly, he had no confidence.

However, after he randomly accepted a low leveled mission, his spirit was immediately lifted.

The general prompt of this mission was similar to those of the alchemy missions. Different than the questions he thought they would be, the mission asked him to design a craft.

The requirements were that it must be small and easy to maneuver, it must be delicate and be suitable to be worn by a lady. As for realm… the ninth realm would do. It would also have to be useful for defense.

In other words, to complete this mission, Ling Xian didn’t need to understand crafts the traditional way. He merely needed to draw out a design.

“The one who came up with this mission sure is interesting. If you wanted to please a lady, you should be designing it yourself. Why would you ask others for help?”

Ling Xian shook his head with a laugh. He slowly closed his eyes and his fingers began to slam down onto the desk rhythmically.

He was pondering.

Different than designing arrays, which he could do at an insane speed, he was a beginner with craftsmanship and cannot come up with solutions as easily. However, because he had a high level of enlightenment and his imagination was wild, he very quickly had an idea.

Then, using his finger as a brush, he painted a hair clip onto the screen.

While it looks simple, it was small and very delicate. If made with the suggested material that he wrote down, it will definitely end up being a piece of dainty jewelry that all women would love.

“I personally think it’s pretty good. I wonder if the mission central will pass it.”

Ling Xian faintly smiled and listed all the required materials. Then, he pressed the button “complete”.

In the next second, this design turned into a shooting star and landed into the hands of the mission inspectors. Only after it passed would the mission setter be notified.

However, all of this was unrelated to Ling Xian.

After completing this mission, he requested a second mission. After listing the required materials, he pressed the “complete” button on the screen.

This mission was similar to the previous one but was somewhat different. One thing was for sure though, it didn’t require any traditional knowledge of crafts. This made Ling Xian grin.

As long as no book knowledge about crafts was required, he had the confidence to complete the mission before him.

“Very good. These 10 contribution points are mine.”

Lifting the corner of his lips, Ling Xian concentrated on this mission.

Only after a while did he slowly open his eyes and give out an answer to the prompt on screen. Then, he didn’t stop and opened up the third mission.

The moment he saw the content, he immediately chuckled.

Because this mission also didn’t require any traditional knowledge.

“It seems like my mindless decision of doing this was a good move. All the missions with crafts are similar to those of missions related to arrays. They all require designs and nothing about knowledge.”

Smiling, Ling Xian paused for a second before giving out answers.

None of these missions required a traditional understanding of crafts, therefore, it didn’t need him too much effort to complete them. After all, he was naturally intelligent with high enlightenment abilities. Along with his inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts, nothing could stop him.

The missions after this one were similar to the previous three. This brightened his eyes and the contribution points in his pouch increased as well.

Just as he was refreshing these missions crazily, the Hall of Mission once again fell into a state of chaos.

The only difference was that during the last round, those of the Path of Array were the most shocked. This time, it was the cultivators from the Path of Crafts.

In midair, more than 20 craft designs were suspending. Every single one of them composed of only a few strokes but was full of mastery.

Then, the entire hall erupted into excitement.

“Hahaha, someone completed my mission. And it is of the perfect rank!”

“Haha, mine too! I cannot believe my 15 contribution point reward traded me a perfect design!”

“Me too! This is so worth it! I am so lucky.”

All the cultivators with missions completed by Ling Xian were speaking excitedly and with ecstasy.

Then, they all noticed a problem – who was behind these perfect designs that were being created all around the same time?

As they thought about it, they moved their gazes to the right bottom corner of the drawings. They then recognized a familiar name.

Xian Ling.

Immediately, the hall silenced. Whether it was people from the Path of Crafts or people from other divisions, all fell into silence.

The entire Hall of Mission was soundless and even a needle drop could be heard.

After what had just happened, everyone was already in awe. This was why everyone was familiar with this name. They originally thought Ling Xian had reached the upper limit of missions allowed and had left.

Yet this name once again was being seen and once again brought on a wave of surprise!

Perfection!

Perfection!

All of these 20 something array designs were perfect, without exceptions. What did this mean?

This meant Ling Xian’s knowledge with crafts was just as terrifying as his skills with arrays!

Of course, it hasn’t been too long since he started studying crafts. In terms of skills alone, he was nowhere near as skillful as he was with arrays. However, to others, his abilities with crafts were near perfection!

The 20 something flawless designs were the most convincing proof!

Therefore, everyone was stunned.

They all originally thought Ling Xian had left. They didn’t think he merely changed division!

Only after a very long time did everyone regain their calmness. They then gasped back cold air.

“What the hell! Who has heard of this omnipotent person’s name? Isn’t he far too insane?”

“Heaven defying! Just who is this person? How can he be so insane with arrays and be so terrifying with crafts?”

“Unbelievable. I thought he had left because he couldn’t stay anymore. I didn’t think in the blink of an eye, he would be completing missions from the path of crafts!”

“What the f!ck! First, he shocks the array division, now he is here to astound the crafts division. Is this god-like figure trying to stun the entire Shang Qing Sect?”

Everyone was exclaiming with disbelief in their eyes.

A lot of these low leveled missions could be completed by regular cultivators, which wasn’t really shocking. What shocked them was how every single array design was of the perfect level and how every single craft design was also of the perfect level!

This was enough to petrify everyone here.

Because the perfect level was the highest level of recognition and did not appear easily, it represented terrifying capabilities.

When someone had such abilities with both arrays and crafts, it was without a doubt, an unbelievable achievement.

A master of two paths had been born before. However, it was just far too rare. Out of 10,000,000 cultivators, perhaps only one exists!

Yet before their eyes, there was a person with such accomplishments. Why wouldn’t everyone be in awe?

Luckily, Ling Xian has yet to expose his alchemy skills. Or else everyone would lose their rationality from surprise!

Ling Xian, who was still in the room, had no idea everyone was going insane because of him.

He remained focused and was seriously completing all the missions on the screen.

Every single design that passed through his hand looked extremely simple but none of them were actually ordinary. Every single painting was hidden with the underlying truth of crafts and was extremely mysterious.

This was one of the reasons why the inspectors ranked it perfect.

What could do they do? To have measured him using the “perfect level” was an understatement.

To Ling Xian, since no traditional knowledge was required, these missions were not difficult for him

Just like that, time went on, the missions he accomplished piled up, and his contribution points increased.

After around half an hour, Ling Xian finally exhaled deeply and exited out of his focused state.

Don’t forget, he already completed 100 missions with arrays. Though it was easy for him, he was mentally tired.

Therefore, he decided to take a short break.

However, just then, he saw a very strange mission on the giant screen. As for why it was strange, it was because it had been on the information board for 10 years.

In other words, nobody had completed this mission for a decade!

This was enough to prove one thing. This mission was very difficult and nobody in the past 10 years could solve it.

“This is interesting.”

Ling Xian was intrigued. He randomly accepted this mission.

Then, he frowned deeply but then quickly relaxed and began to ponder about the ways to solve this.

Just as he was thinking about it, everyone reached an extreme with the awe they were feeling regarding his insane speed.

They could not imagine how someone so terrifying could actually exist. It was ridiculous! When they remembered how his speed was even faster with arrays, they were even more shocked as they thought Ling Xian was far too insane.

His speed was making them tremble!

However, as they were stuck in their astounded state, they realized that no perfect design had been produced for a while.

In other words, that mysterious figure had stopped.

This confused everyone and they thought, did he reach the upper limit again?

Everyone was confused and because they were so curious, they didn’t disperse. They wanted to wait and see if any more perfect designs would be created.

Then, after waiting for a whole half an hour, no new perfect designs were created.

Everyone shook their head in disappointment, thinking that Ling Xian was a quiet hero and left in secret. Therefore, it was time for them to go to live their respective lives now.

However, just as they were about to depart, a voice full of disbelief screamed out, stopping everyone!

“Look, everyone! The insane mission that’s been available for 10 years was just completed!”

At that, everyone fell into shock. All of their gazes were now on the giant screen.

There, there was a message stating that a mission had just been completed. On the bottom right corner, two simple characters stood.

Xian Ling.

This name was simple and easy. But at this moment, it was shining bright like the giant Sun and was blinding everyone!
