The strange old man sat on a chair in the living room, leisurely drinking tea, looking quite comfortable.

Suddenly, the strange old man suddenly raised his head, looked at the door, and showed a look of relief on his face, it didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, and Lu Tianming walked in slowly, with the strength of the strange old man, he noticed his existence within a kilometer of Lu Tianming stepping into this room.

"I'm back, how have these three months been?"

The strange old man looked at the young man in front of him who had only been separated for three months, maybe there was no change on the surface, but with the sharp eyes of the strange old man, it was not an exaggeration to see that Lu Tianming's changes in the past three months were earth-shattering.

"Fortunately, I finally lived up to the teacher's expectations"

Lu Tianming said without arrogance, as if the person who killed the nobleman in a flash a day ago was not him, the strange old man nodded meaningfully when he saw this.

"You've ...... I've killed someone."

After Lu Tianming heard this, he immediately looked at the strange old man with a shocked face, and the strange old man smiled proudly when he saw Lu Tianming's expression.

"Actually, it's not hard to see, because you were too decisive with Ram, without a trace of hesitation, this is not like the performance of a person who has never killed, so I guess, you should do it with someone in the Star Forest."

Lu Tianming nodded and explained in a bit of a panic.

"Teacher, listen to me, it's their ......"?

"Needless to say, they must have messed with you first."

The strange old man didn't wait for Lu Tianming to finish speaking, so he finished the words for him.

"Originally, I was worried that you were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to do it, but now it seems that I am too worried, how about it, the first time I killed someone I didn't feel good."

"Hmm...... I felt my hands covered in blood, a sense of guilt welling up in my heart, and a feeling of vomiting."

Lu Tianming saw that the strange old man didn't mean to blame, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said honestly.

"It's good to get used to it"

The strange old man patted Lu Tianming's shoulder and comforted, Lu Tianming looked at the strange old man with some surprise, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

"Since you have chosen to embark on this road, your hands are destined to be stained with blood, many times, many things cannot be decided by us, killing people is to live a better life"

The strange old man looked at his hands, as if explaining, and said as if sighing.

"In this world, human life is like a mustard, if you don't get used to it earlier, it will only become a stepping stone for others, every successful person is stepping on the lives of tens of thousands of people to the top, even me, there are a lot of lives in my hands"

The strange old man said as if he was self-deprecating, and Lu Tianming nodded a little knowingly.

"But...... Killing doesn't mean killing, killing is just for self-preservation, understand, if you really become a killer, then I will kill you myself"

The strange old man suddenly looked at Lu Tianming seriously, with a rare seriousness on his face, and said word by word.

"I know that Tianming will not become a killer"

"Hehe, I know your character, and I'm not too worried, the reason why I tell you about this is to tell you that once you meet this kind of person, don't be soft, kill if you can"

The strange old man rubbed Lu Tianming and looked at Lu Tianming with some doting.

Lu Tianming, who was rubbed by the strange old man, was not disgusted, not to mention that the strange old man was his teacher, even if it wasn't, according to age, it was not too much for the strange old man to rub his head, even if he counted the age of his previous life, he was only about twenty when he was full, and the strange old man was sixty or seventy, to say the least.

"Teacher, Tianming has something to do lately, and I need to go outside for a few months"

"Oh... It's okay, although you have been promoted to a junior magician within three months, but because you have been promoted too quickly, your foundation is likely to be unstable, so it is better to put down your cultivation for the time being, do you need help with this matter?"

"No, it's about forging, I have a friend who is going to participate in a forging competition recently, I have to help her," Lu Tianming said truthfully.

"Forging? sure enough...... Do you know how to forge too" The strange old man looked at Lu Tianming meaningfully.

"Well, a little bit, although I can't get into the teacher's discernment," Lu Tianming said embarrassedly as he looked around.

"You kid......" The strange old man shook his head with a wry smile.

"Go ahead, just don't leave alchemy behind"

"But, teacher, you didn't teach me much alchemy at all, could it be that you let me be self-taught, teacher?"

Lu Tianming said helplessly, although Lu Tianming had been worshipping at the strange old man's door for half a year, but except for reading some books given by the strange old man, the strange old man didn't teach him anything at all, and such an irresponsible teacher made Lu Tianming a little helpless.

The strange old man snorted, patted Lu Tianming's shoulder, and said with a serious face.

"Xiao Ming, although I may teach you faster, but in comparison, the knowledge I have figured out will be more stable and easy to use."

"Of course...... On top of that, I recently saw another experiment in a book, and I couldn't spare the time."

Seeing this, Lu Tianming could only sigh helplessly, and said that it was a blessing or a curse to be such an irresponsible teacher.

"Don't be like this, it's a big deal to lend you the space ring for a few more months, and give some interest for a few days next time you give money"

"Obviously, the teacher has so many valuable things, why do you have to ask me to give money?"

"You don't understand, magicians are the richest people, but the poorest people in this world are also magicians, and the materials needed to practice alchemy are all money."

The strange old man seemed to think of something unbearable from the past, and said with a sigh covering his face.

"I think back then, in order to do an experiment, I had to sell everything on my body, and I finally got together the materials, but it failed, and I sold my body and art again, and the more advanced the experiment, the more gold coins were spent."

Lu Tianming nodded in agreement, for this opinion, Lu Tianming was deeply touched, you must know that Lu Dao Lu Tianming spent more than 100 first-level weapons in order to practice magic swordsmanship, thousands of weapons that did not enter the stream, and enchantment disks, etc., this is just because it is only a first-level one, if it is a second-level or third-level one, thinking of this, Lu Tianming's scalp suddenly felt numb.

"Okay, if it's okay, I'll go to the lab first, I've been getting busier and busier lately, don't come to me if you kid has anything, just decide for yourself"

The strange old man got up and left the living room, and said without looking back.

"Well, teacher, be careful, don't blow up the house again"

"I know that you are a teacher or I am a teacher"

Hearing Lu Tianming's words, the strange old man suddenly turned red, and said angrily.

Lu Tianming watched the strange old man leave the living room, shook his head helplessly, and also left the living room and walked towards the downtown area.

Before going to Leia again, Lu Tianming still had some things to do, how to say it, Lu Tianming is also Leia's teacher, Lu Tianming is not as irresponsible as the strange old man, there are too many things to worry about.

......

Day 2...... In the furnace room!

"What, Xiao Ming, are you sure you want me to do this" Leia said with a look of disbelief as she looked at the things in her hand.

"That's right, sure and sure, this is a special practice method, you don't need to practice forging for the time being, if you can't learn the skills, blind forging like you won't have any effect."

Lu Tianming said with a look of course.

"You have a point, but ...... What is this kind of thing, this is puppet carving, does it have anything to do with forging, do you think I don't have a talent for forging, persuade me to change my career to learn puppet carving?"

Leia said, pointing to the wooden block in her hand, and there was a small carving knife on the table next to her.

"Would I do such a boring thing?"

Lu Tianming rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"You just have to do it, you're a girl, it's not difficult for you, isn't a girl quite good at carving?"

"Since Xiao Ming said so, I'll give it a try, but first say good, don't laugh if you don't carve well"

Seeing that Lu Tianming's expression didn't look like a joke, Leia could only reluctantly agree, and said with a blushing face.
