Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
Then, Tang Yuyan asked curiously, "By the way, what exactly did you go to Nebula Marsh for?"
“I’ve said it before, my purpose in going to Nebula Marsh is to cultivate,” Ye Feng said.
"That's too vague," Tang Yuyan said softly.
Luo Mengxuan said with a smile, "My junior brother's sword technique is called the Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique. He needs to be enlightened in the Xingyun Marsh in order to comprehend it at a higher level."
"I see." Tang Yuyan suddenly realized.
Although the Xuanji School's Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique has only been around for a short time, about a hundred years, it is extremely famous.
This is because after Elder Lingxing, the Grand Elder of the Xuanji Sect, created the Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique in Xingyunze, he challenged many independent cultivators and sword masters from various sects in order to perfect his sword technique.
Thus, Elder Lingxing not only made a name for himself, but also for the Mitian Star Fighting Sword Technique.
Throughout the entire Tianluo Great World, everyone who is considered a prominent figure knows about the Mitian Xingdou Sword Technique, so it's not surprising that Tang Yuyan has heard of its reputation.
"No wonder Young Master Ye's swordsmanship is so superb; it turns out he received the true teachings of the Grand Elder of the Xuanji Sect," Tang Yuyan said.
Luo Mengxuan's expression was somewhat strange.
Because Ye Feng did not receive the Grand Elder's true teachings; he cultivated through his own exploration, and it had little to do with the Grand Elder.
However, this kind of thing doesn't need explanation, because even if Tang Yuyan knew that Ye Feng cultivated on his own rather than being personally taught by the Grand Elder, it wouldn't help at all.
It was already noon.
Tang Yuyan took Luo Mengxuan and Ye Feng to the most famous restaurant in Xingyun City—Xingyuntian Restaurant—for a meal.
Luo Mengxuan ate with great satisfaction, her belly slightly bulging, and Tang Yuyan was also extremely pleased.
After leaving the Xingyuntian Grand Hotel, the man and two women continued shopping.
"Junior brother, aren't you going to tell Miss Tang what happened last night? The mastermind invaded your dream and warned you; this is no small matter," Luo Mengxuan said telepathically.
“What’s the point of telling her? Even if she were to say something, she’d definitely say she’s looking for Tang Fenglong or Tang Zixue,” Ye Feng said.
"That's true."
Luo Mengxuan nodded.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from ahead.
Ye Feng, Luo Mengxuan, and Tang Yuyan looked ahead and saw a large crowd gathered in front of a very luxurious shop.
"What's going on? Is it a new store opening?" Luo Mengxuan asked with great interest.
After looking at it for a moment, Tang Yuyan suddenly understood and said, "It's not a new store opening. That store is a very famous crafts shop in our Nebula City, called Hongze Crafts Shop."
"Master Li Hongze is not only a master of the Transcendent Realm, but also a ninth-grade weapon refiner. All the spiritual weapons he personally refines are top-grade spiritual weapons. Moreover, every month, Master Li Hongze holds a small gathering where he showcases his latest refined spiritual weapons and selects one to sell at an extremely low price."
Upon hearing Tang Yuyan's explanation, Luo Mengxuan immediately became very interested.
"Let's go, let's go take a look! Maybe we can find a bargain and buy a very useful magical artifact!" Luo Mengxuan said excitedly.
“Alright, let’s go take a look,” Night Breeze nodded.
Tang Yuyan immediately followed Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan to the front of Hongze Weapon Shop and squeezed into the crowd.
As the eldest daughter of the Tang family, Tang Yuyan was a prominent figure in Xingyun City, so she was recognized by those around her as soon as she squeezed into the crowd.
"Look, it's Miss Tang!"
"I never expected that even Miss Tang would come to admire Master Hongze's magical artifacts!"
“Master Hongze is the top weapon refiner in our Nebula City. The four great families have tried to recruit him countless times, but he has not joined any of them to serve them. It’s not surprising that Miss Tang is interested in Master Hongze.”
"Master Hongze is indeed amazing. I wish I could become his disciple and learn weapon crafting from him."
"Stop dreaming. You're not even a martial artist, how can you be a weapon refiner?"
The people around her were chattering away, and some of their comments were genuinely funny, almost making Tang Yuyan burst out laughing.
There stood a middle-aged man and two young men at the entrance of Hongze Pottery Workshop.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man with his shirt off, revealing his muscular physique, was Li Hongze.
Those two young men were most likely his apprentices.
Tang Yuyan's arrival naturally caught Li Hongze's attention, but Li Hongze only nodded slightly to Tang Yuyan as a greeting.
"Everyone, welcome to see my magical artifacts. There are three magical artifacts on display today."
"These three spiritual artifacts are all rank eight, one offensive and two defensive."
"Let's first look at this offensive magical artifact."
As Li Hongze spoke, he took out a gleaming silver longsword from his storage ring, and everyone around craned their necks and stared wide-eyed at the sword.
Luo Mengxuan and Tang Yuyan watched with great interest, while Ye Feng had already opened his all-seeing golden eyes.
With the blessing of the Golden Eyes of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Feng quickly saw through the gleaming silver sword, even the smallest flaws in its blade were clearly visible.
Night Breeze frowned and shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment on his face.
Because Ye Feng had already seen the flaws inside the longsword.
Moreover, this defect is quite serious.
When Li Hongze was forging this longsword, the uneven distribution of the internal material created a fatal weak point.
Under normal use, there are generally no problems.
However, if a series of collisions create a resonance, it could cause the longsword to break at its weak point.
If such an accident occurs during a life-or-death struggle, then the person is basically doomed.
This defect is very subtle, but it does exist. The fact that Li Hongze did not discover it shows that his weapon-refining skills are not up to par.
At that moment, Li Hongze was holding the silver-white longsword and talking eloquently.
"This longsword was forged from millennia-old cold iron. I named it the Cold Iron Mystic Ice Sword. The Cold Iron Mystic Ice Sword is imbued with cold energy. If someone who cultivates a type of mystic ice technique uses it, its power will be multiplied!"
As soon as Li Hongze finished speaking, the onlookers all applauded and cheered, and many rogue martial artists cast burning glances at the longsword.
Following that, Li Hongze introduced two other magical artifacts.
Both of these magical artifacts are defensive artifacts; one of them is a shield.
The other item was a Vajra Umbrella.
Although these two magical artifacts have some minor flaws, they are not as fatally flawed as the Cold Iron Ice Sword. Overall, they are acceptable, but only of average quality.
