Chapter 773: Embarrassed, The Panhuman Revolt Tower’s Consensus
Weaponsmithing and alchemy.
These were knowledge and techniques that transcended far beyond the era these cultivators were in. Most of what they knew was limited to the art of refining qi.
Hence, when Feng Gu noticed the medicinal pills and Dao weapons, he was so shocked, and it challenged his perception of this world.
On this day, Chu Kuangren, the inventor of these revolutionary items, was standing right in front of him.
More shockingly, Chu Kuangren seemed to be unfazed by his own inventions. It made Feng Gu question if he was somehow over-reacting.
Feng Gu could not help but lament the situation.
Chu Kuangren was such an unordinary individual. Not only did his lectures on the Dao invoke an astonishing display of Daoist Transformations, but Chu Kuangren was also the inventor of two unique items. These were groundbreaking feats for humans of that era.
Were those the typical doings of a saint?
No wonder they were considered a higher existence of beings than most humans!
"Saint Cang, allow me to pose this question. Are we able to mass-produce these items?" Feng Gu asked nervously.
"Of course."
"That's wonderful news."
Feng Gu rejoiced at Cuh Kuangren's answer.
"It's just that I alone cannot produce this many quantities. I'm teaching some of the Flame Bulwark Tribe's members the arts of alchemy and weaponsmithing. Once they develop their expertise, we'll be able to produce enough for all of humanity to use."
Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Feng Gu was shocked by Chu Kuangren's statement. "Saint Cang, did you just say you're passing on the means of production to other people?!"
In fact, Chu Kuangren was not sharing his knowledge with only a couple of people.
He was sharing it with the entire Flame Bulwark Tribe!
"My abilities are limited. I can only produce so many medicinal pills and Dao weapons. Only by leveraging the power of the masses are we able to maximize the benefits of these tools."
Chu Kuangren said determinedly.
Feng Gu and Yan Wu could not help but feel overwhelming respect for Chu Kuangren.
After all, Chu Kuangren's alchemy and weaponsmithing knowledge were unprecedented for that era.
If Chu Kuangren wanted, he could simply leverage this knowledge to amass wealth, reputation, and power with ease.
Yet, Chu Kuangren was willing to share his methods and their benefits for all of humanity.
Such generosity was unheard of. No wonder he was referred to as a saint!
Deep down, Feng Gu and Yan Wu had an endless amount of respect for Chu Kuangren.
"Saint Cang, you mentioned that your abilities are limited. But the way I see it, you've managed to turn what limited abilities you have into unlimited possibilities!"
"It's a blessing for all of humanity to have someone like you with us, Saint Cang!"
Feng Gu lamented.
Yan Wu nodded in agreement too.
"I've seen and interacted with a fair share of people throughout my life, and most of them are selfish in nature. There are far and few who are as selfless and dedicated as Saint Cang. If humanity has more people like you, we will no longer need to fear the Gods."
"That's right. Saint Cang's contribution must be written in history and celebrated in songs for many generations to come."
Chu Kuangren was beginning to feel embarrassed by their flatteries. Alchemy and weaponsmithing skills were knowledge he had picked up from the modern era. Even without him, humanity would discover them sooner or later anyway.
"That's too many compliments, you two. I'm just fulfilling my duty as a fellow human being." Chu Kuangren hastily interrupted them. If this went on, he could feel himself floating into cloud nine.
"Saint Cang, what a saint indeed. After all the stellar achievements you've made, you're still so humble. What a rare sight to beckon. I'm utterly in awe."
"If it were any other person, their pride would have swallowed them whole. A saint really is built differently from others."
Chu Kuangren was speechless.
He should have remained silent.
Greenie, who was listening from the side, agreed in silence as well.
The duo was right in every sense.
His Young Master was indeed a selfless person.
Then, Feng Gu began discussing alchemy and weaponsmithing with Chu Kuangren. He learned that medicinal pills and Dao weapons could be categorized into various grades. When Feng Gu realized that the medical pill and Dao weapon he held were merely normal-grade items, he was shocked, to say the least.
Feng Gu realized that he had underestimated the potential of these items.
"If these two items are popularized, the progress of human cultivation would definitely advance greatly into the next era!"
Feng Gu and Yan Wu looked at Chu Kuangren with passion burning in their eyes. Their admiration towards Chu Kuangren was almost overflowing from within.
Chu Kuangren sighed. 'Here comes the flattery again.'
'Well.'
'Come on, then. Flatter me with all your might.'
'I can take it.'
However, the duo went silent for a moment.
Chu Kuangren was surprised.
Where was the flattery this time?
"Sigh."
Feng Gu let out a sudden sigh.
"Brother Feng Gu, why the long sigh?"
Chu Kuangren was puzzled. Never mind that there was no flattery, but why the long sigh? Could it be that Feng Gu was planning to admonish him? That would be too much.
"I'm just lamenting how I should've studied hard in the past because right now, I have no words to describe how amazing your contributions to humanity are." Feng Gu lamented.
At the side, Yan Wu shook his head as well. "Indeed. No word can do justice to the works you do for humanity."
"..."
Chu Kuangren was all speechless again.
There was no other choice but to let the conversation flow.
Soon after, Feng Gu left the Flame Bulwark Tribe. He had mentioned that he would soon send a few representatives over to learn about alchemy and weaponsmithing.
Chu Kuangren did not decline, and neither did Yan Wu.
Feng Gu was one of the powerful pillars of humanity, so Yan Wu would never refuse his suggestion even if he wanted to.
After leaving the Flame Bulwark Tribe, Feng Gu arrived at a dark valley with a pagoda erected at the end of the valley's path.
It was named… the Panhuman Revolt Tower!
Upon Feng Gu's entrance, the interior of the tower was abruptly lit up by a series of candlelights that also conjured the apparitions of more than a dozen figures.
"Feng Gu, did you manage to meet Cang during your trip to the Flame Bulwark Tribe?"
A voice echoed through the hall.
"Yes, I did."
"Oh, what's your impression of him?"
"He is rightly a saint of our era. In fact, allow me to speak honestly. I think he's far more extraordinary than any saint that we've seen in history," said Feng Gu solemnly.
The figures in the Panhuman Revolt Tower were shocked.
"I didn't think you'd evaluate him this way."
"No, this isn't my evaluation. This ought to be the evaluation of humans that hail from the future. There's no one of this era who can rightfully judge his abilities."
The group was silent for a moment.
"Feng Gu, aren't you exaggerating a little too much?"
"Not at all."
Feng Gu then took out the medical pill and Dao weapons before narrating his entire interactions with Chu Kuangren.
The meeting fell quiet once again.
It was only moments later before someone interrupted the silence. "What a saint indeed. If what Feng Gu said is true, then his generosity and achievements deserve to be cemented in history and sung in songs for many years to come."
"The Dao weapons and the medical pills are immensely beneficial for mankind. Just how much insight would it take before one could finally invent such a technique?"
"It was said that during his Dao lecture, he managed to invoke a display of Daoist Transformations that could only be done by an Immortal. I didn't quite believe it at first, but now, I stand corrected. We must maintain a good relationship with this person."
"Cang is too important for mankind to lose. Let's make sure that whatever he needs, we'll do our best to assist him."
The warriors of the Panhuman Revolt Tower reached a consensus. Chu Kuangren's friendship must be acquired, and his animosity was to be avoided at all cost.
