Ye Feiyu looked in the direction Kong Xiang pointed and saw a huge basin in front of them. The basin was fiery red and barren. Something seemed to be growing in the center of the basin.
Ye Feiyu looked closely and saw a Radiant Grass growing in the center of the basin. Radiant Grass is a very precious spiritual herb. It is the most important spiritual herb for refining the Azure Nether Pill, which is a high-grade pill and is very rare.
Ye Feiyu made a decisive move to acquire the Radiant Grass. It wasn't just because the Radiant Grass was precious, but also because Ye Feiyu had a vague feeling that something in the center of that basin was attracting him.
Ye Feiyu leaped down and landed on the basin floor.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Kong Xiang reached out, trying to grab Ye Feiyu's sleeve, but grabbed nothing.
"Be careful!" Kong Xiang had no choice but to jump down with Ye Feiyu.
Just after Ye Feiyu jumped down, a large group of demonic beasts attacked the two of them.
Ye Feiyu swung the Demon-Slaying Sword, unleashing a sword aura several meters long, which slayed all the attacking monsters.
And so, wave after wave of demonic beasts were slain by Ye Feiyu. When no more demonic beasts attacked, Ye Feiyu sheathed his Demon-Slaying Sword and turned to walk towards the Flowing Light Grass.
Kong Xiang watched as Ye Feiyu displayed his divine power, effortlessly slaying all the demonic beasts, while he couldn't offer any assistance. Only then did he realize how formidable his senior brother truly was; he hadn't been showing his full power before, which had given the demonic beasts an opportunity to strike.
Now that my senior brother is getting impatient, all those demonic beasts are going to suffer.
When he saw his senior brother walking towards the Flowing Light Grass, Kong Xiang followed suit.
Ye Feiyu looked at the shimmering grass swaying in the wind, reached out, and carefully plucked it off.
The moment the Radiant Grass was plucked, a large hole suddenly appeared beneath Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang's feet. Caught off guard, they fell right into it.
After Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang fell in, the large hole disappeared. To others, it was as if nothing had ever happened, without a trace.
Kong Xiang reacted instantly the moment he fell. He quickly grabbed Ye Feiyu and pulled him into his arms. Then, he freed one hand, summoned his natal sword, and plunged it into the cave wall. A creaking sound rang out, the sound of the natal sword rubbing against the cave wall.
As Kong Xiang's natal sword pierced the cave wall, his and Ye Feiyu's descent slowed considerably. Finally, they landed safely.
After landing, Ye Feiyu broke free from Kong Xiang's embrace. Kong Xiang reluctantly let go, still savoring the feeling of his hand on Ye Feiyu's. He wished the moment could have lasted longer so he could have held Ye Feiyu a little longer.
The two brothers began to survey their surroundings. They saw that the cave walls were all fiery red, as if they had been scorched by flames for many years.
Just as Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang were on guard, a man's voice suddenly rang out: "Fated one, now that you have come here, then begin to accept my test!"
Then, a feather of light flew out from the void and landed on Ye Feiyu's head. It then flew up from his head again, guiding Ye Feiyu forward.
"Those who are destined to meet, follow me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feiyu was about to follow the wisp of light.
Just then, Kong Xiang suddenly grabbed Ye Feiyu's hand, "Wait! Could this be a trap?!"
"My intuition tells me there's no danger here. Besides, what's right in front of me is very likely a legacy, and I must obtain it!" Ye Feiyu looked directly into Kong Xiang's worried eyes, his gaze resolute.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ye Feiyu otherwise, Kong Xiang had no choice but to let go of his hand. He then anxiously reminded Ye Feiyu, "Senior brother, please be careful!"
"Mm." Ye Feiyu nodded, then followed the guidance of the luminous feather.
When the feather of light touched a certain spot, ripples spread through the air before it vanished. Ye Feiyu followed suit, and in Kong Xiang's view, ripples appeared where Ye Feiyu had touched before he too disappeared.
Kong Xiang was extremely anxious, but when he remembered Ye Feiyu's words that he had to obtain the inheritance, he had no choice but to suppress his restlessness and wait quietly outside.
After Ye Feiyu touched the transparent barrier, he entered another space.
This space was very similar to the previous one, but the red inside was more vibrant than the red outside, as if it had been burned by flames more intensely than the one outside.
"You've come, my destined one." Just then, a red mist suddenly appeared in front of Ye Feiyu. The red mist gradually condensed into a figure, which could be vaguely seen as a middle-aged man.
"Senior, who are you?" Ye Feiyu bowed to the figure, then looked puzzled.
"I am a Weapon Saint, a master of weapon crafting. I was once just one step away from ascending to immortality, but unfortunately, I was ambushed by a villain and ultimately died with resentment under the heavenly tribulation. Now, only a wisp of my soul remains, barely surviving in this world." As he said this, Ye Feiyu could sense a sense of desolation in the Weapon Saint's tone.
Just as Ye Feiyu was about to offer some words of comfort, the Weapon Saint suddenly changed his tone: "Alright, there's no need to dwell on the past. Now, I'm going to give you some tests. If you pass, you will receive my weapon-refining inheritance; if you fail, I will wait for the next destined person to arrive."
Do you understand?
"Understood."
"Alright, let's begin the test."
After saying that, the Artifact Saint waved his hand, and a lot of ores suddenly appeared in front of Ye Feiyu.
"The first step in refining weapons is to identify the ore. Therefore, you need to find all the ores I need within the specified time."
Ye Feiyu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then, the Weapon Saint announced a series of names of ores. Since Ye Feiyu had learned some weapon-refining knowledge in the Star River Sect, it was not difficult for him to identify the ores. He quickly found all the ores.
"Hmm." The Artifact Saint stroked his beard with satisfaction. "This child is teachable."
Next, the Weapon Master tested him on some knowledge about weapon crafting, and Ye Feiyu answered all of them correctly once again.
Finally, the Artifact Master had him perform a simulated artifact crafting exercise.
Everything was going well until the final step of the refining process, when Ye Feiyu was stumped.
The final step was to fuse two ores of the same ice attribute together. These two attributes were mutually exclusive, which truly stumped Ye Feiyu.
Suddenly, some fragments of his childhood flashed before Ye Feiyu's eyes. It was when he was very young that he found an ancient book in the family library. The book was very old and worn, and it contained the solution to the problem he was facing now.
Ye Feiyu remembered that method was...
