Through the Luoyang Post Station, Boss Wu Dechang returned to Lingbo Cave.
After checking the map, Lufeng quickly headed towards the Sage Book in Lingbo Cave and soon found Wu Lingjun to explain his purpose.
Seeing someone approach, Wu Lingjun smiled slightly: "My disciple Xiaoyao has the ability to ride the Divine Deer, so there's no need to learn the riding skills for lower-level mounts. Go buy a level 40 or level 60 white deer from Gou Du, and you will be able to summon a Chocobo!"
Lufeng wanted to curse; it turned out that this Chocobo didn't require riding skills. Wu Lingjun had come up with such a trick to stimulate consumption, which was truly a despicable marketing tactic, even worse than threatening salespeople.
"Alright!"
Lufeng felt helpless, knowing he was jumping into a pit he was aware of; fortunately, he was rewarded with 100 gold coins; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford the deer.
After walking for a while, he found the Divine Deer manager—Gou Du. He looked at the differences between the level 40 deer and the level 60 white deer. The price for both was one gold coin, but the level 40 deer could be ridden at level 40 and provided a 40% increase in movement speed, while the white deer required level 60 to ride and offered a 70% increase in movement speed.
Lufeng weighed his options and felt that level 60 was still a long way off. Even if he bought it, he might still get scammed. From his previous experience playing Heavenly Dragon, it seemed that better mounts had higher training costs.
Thus, Lufeng bought a level 40 deer, which he could use as soon as he reached level 40. He then tried summoning the Chocobo and was delighted to find that he could ride it. Lufeng was overjoyed as he rode the Chocobo towards Zhou Tianshi.
Although it only increased his movement speed by 10%, it was equivalent to Lufeng jogging. A mount that didn't require feeding was truly time-saving and convenient; riding it felt comfortable and reassuring.
Soon, Lufeng arrived at the center of Luoyang and found Zhou Tianshi of Peach and Plum World.
Upon seeing Lufeng, Zhou Tianshi revealed a genuine smile that felt so real. Lufeng seemed to see his Hu Director in that moment, lost in thought.
"Good, good, good, I finally get to see you!"
Zhou Tianshi stroked his white beard and continued, "Practicing martial arts is like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you will retreat. I wonder if you have been diligent in your training lately?"
Hearing that familiar tone, which was just like Hu Director's, Lufeng felt deeply moved. "Thank you for your concern, Master. I practice every day, and I have even learned Gathering Energy. I believe I will soon be able to learn Gathering Qi."
Zhou Tianshi was overjoyed. "Congratulations! Your martial arts journey has entered a new realm! The foundation of Gathering Energy must be solid; it’s best to learn Gathering Qi before reaching level 40 so that your foundation becomes even more stable. But remember, do not be too eager for quick results. Cultivation is a gradual process; only by stabilizing your foundation step by step can you achieve greatness. Come, come, let me see what kind of training you should do now."
As Zhou Tianshi finished speaking, Lufeng felt as if he were bound and unable to move.
After a long while, Zhou Tianshi slowly said, "In the vast sea of people, there are countless passersby. You and I are fated in this mortal world; although we do not have the title of master and disciple, we share the essence of passing on knowledge. Now you still need further experience to enhance your strength. When your cultivation reaches the next level, come find me again; I have more good things to teach you. Remember, the path of martial arts lies in cultivating character, virtue, humanity, and fate—especially since you are a Free Mode player. Therefore, you need more patience and perseverance; only with extraordinary willpower can you have the ability to turn things around."
"Understood! Thank you, Master!" Lufeng was deeply touched.
Zhou Tianshi nodded and continued, "When walking in the martial world, it is essential to have a few close friends and companions. As the saying goes, two fists cannot fight four hands; being together allows for mutual care and guidance—what's not to like? I have a friend named Wu Ciren. His martial skills may not be outstanding, but he has many friends in the martial world and connections everywhere. Go find him and seek his advice on this matter; it will greatly benefit your future experiences in the martial world. He is right at the entrance of Luoyang Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce; remember to ask humbly."
"Yes!" Lufeng solemnly accepted this task—[Learn Team Formation].
Task Objective: Find Wu Ciren in Luoyang and ask him about teaming up with others.
Lufeng was very interested in this 'unknown person' as he bid farewell to Zhou Tianshi and headed towards the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Soon, Lufeng found Wu Ciren and explained his purpose. This person was located diagonally across from Wang Zao, the teleporter of Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
At a glance, Wu Ciren's title of "The Guest from All Directions" reveals that he is a generous person. Upon learning that Lufeng was recommended by Zhou Tianshi, Wu Ciren earnestly advised, "At home, one relies on parents; when out, one relies on friends. In the world of martial arts, personal cultivation is naturally important, but having a few close friends is essential. Whether they are like-minded companions, sworn brothers, or acquaintances from the same school, in this vast world, you can always find a few confidants to share adventures and face challenges together. The sound of swords clashing as we embark on our journey of love and enmity in the martial world is truly one of life's greatest pleasures!"
"Yes, I have already understood this principle, which is why I came with my companions!" Lufeng deeply resonated with this. In the past, when playing Heavenly Dragon, forming a team was all about strength and attributes; it was common to see attributes exceeding two thousand. This made it extremely difficult for ordinary players to participate, often waiting endlessly to form a team—a very frustrating experience.
Wu Ciren nodded in agreement, praising him: "The kid Zhou mentioned is indeed impressive. In the martial world, people often talk about hidden weapons and external skills, but little do they know that having friends to rely on and brothers to care for you is even more crucial. Your martial arts foundation is already solid, but in your future journeys through the martial world, you will encounter many tasks that require cooperation with others to complete. Therefore, a fundamental entry-level skill is learning how to form teams. Since you have come with your teammates, your task is already accomplished. Next, let me teach you some tips for teamwork..."
After a long while, Lufeng learned all the essentials of team formation from Wu Ciren, including experience distribution and more. However, Lufeng did not consider these matters lightly; every teammate was crucial to him, so he would never divide them.
After imparting his knowledge generously, Wu Ciren issued a polite dismissal: "I have shared with you the secrets of forming teams. From now on, you need to gradually comprehend and apply what you've learned. Don't be impatient when encountering problems; remember to make friends. Every friend you meet here can be a teacher to you. Mutual humility in inquiry and earnest guidance are the hallmarks of accomplished individuals in the martial world. Here’s a novice token for you; holding this allows you to exchange for one piece of a level 20 Sect set at Suzhou Liang Shicheng."
"Thank you!" Lufeng politely accepted the novice token.
Although the level 20 set was no longer useful to him, Lufeng appreciated Wu Ciren's kindness. Taking a moment to reflect on Wu Ciren's words revealed that each sentence was a classic truth. Yet everyone tends to focus only on successful individuals; few pay attention to Wu Ciren's wisdom. It’s like how successful people are praised even for their flaws while unsuccessful ones are dismissed regardless of their insights. However, Lufeng felt that Wu Ciren deserved respect; his simple yet profound words analyzed the survival skills necessary in the martial world—how similar this is to real life! This had an irreplaceable impact on Lufeng's growth.
