A crisp "ding" sound echoed all around.
The Cold Iron Ice Sword also trembled slightly, emitting a clear sword sound.
But the Cold Iron Ice Sword remained unchanged from before.
Everyone around was completely bewildered, and Li Hongze also looked confused.
Li Hongze's two disciples were now looking at Ye Feng with disdain.
But just then, a soft click sounded.
A tiny crack appeared on the spot where Ye Feng had just tapped the Cold Iron Xuanbing Sword in Li Hongze's hand.
The appearance of this tiny crack was like a signal that more and more cracks appeared and covered the entire blade.
Finally, the Cold Iron Ice Sword shattered with a series of crisp sounds, turning into fragments scattered on the ground.
The surroundings suddenly became completely silent, deathly still.
Li Hongze stared blankly at the shards on the ground, as if he had aged seven or eight years in an instant.
"Let's go."
After finishing his sentence, Ye Feng strode away.
Luo Mengxuan and Tang Yuyan finally came to their senses and hurriedly chased after Ye Feng.
After leaving Li Hongze's weapon workshop, Luo Mengxuan asked curiously, "Junior Brother Ye, what just happened? Why did the Cold Iron Profound Ice Sword suddenly shatter when you just lightly flicked it?"
Tang Yuyan also wanted to know the answer to this question, so she stared at Ye Feng without blinking.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Because when Li Hongze was forging the Cold Iron Xuanbing Sword, he did not distribute the cold iron evenly, leaving a crucial weak point. I flicked my finger and hit that weak point precisely, thus shattering it with very little force."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Luo Mengxuan's face immediately showed a look of bewilderment and awe.
Tang Yuyan expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Ye."
"You're too kind," Ye Feng said casually.
Tang Yuyan wasn't flattering Ye Feng; she was genuinely grateful to him.
If it weren't for Ye Feng's interference, she would definitely have already bought the Cold Iron Ice Sword and handed it over to her brother, Tang Fenglong.
Perhaps her brother, Tang Fenglong, will die at the hands of someone else in the near future because of this Cold Iron Xuanbing Sword.
Therefore, Ye Feng's reminder and intervention undoubtedly saved her brother's life, and could even be said to have saved the entire Tang family.
How could Tang Yuyan not feel grateful?
Ye Feng understood the reasons behind it all, yet he remained calm and unmoved.
He acted as if it were just a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart at all.
As darkness fell, night gradually descended.
Ye Feng, Luo Mengxuan, and Tang Yuyan finally returned to the Tang family mansion. A little while later, Tang Fenglong also returned.
Tang Fenglong then came to Ye Feng's room and told him about the tenth-grade perfect demon beast inside the Nebula Marsh.
"That monster was one I encountered five years ago when I ventured deep into the Nebula Marsh."
"At the time, I was chasing an enemy, entering the Nebula Marsh and going to its deepest part. It was there that I encountered that terrifying monster."
"I don't know what kind of monster it is. It looks like a giant toad with protrusions on its body that seem to contain stars, and its eyes contain starlight."
"It severely injured me with a single blow, forcing me to flee in a sorry state, while my enemy was swallowed whole by it."
"Fortunately, I have a very good protective magical artifact, and I am also proficient in the art of concealment, which is why I escaped this calamity."
Tang Fenglong's words caused Ye Feng to frown slightly.
Is the tenth-grade Great Perfection demon beast deep in the Nebula Marsh a giant toad? Or perhaps a toad?
The bumps on the toad's body seem to contain stars? And its eyes seem to hold starlight?
Could it be the legendary Star Toad?
If that's the case, then this Star Toad is indeed not easy to deal with.
Even among tenth-grade perfected demonic beasts, the Star Toad is considered extremely powerful, ranking very high.
But Ye Feng only found it troublesome.
"Thank you for informing me, Patriarch Tang." Ye Feng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
Tang Fenglong asked, "Young Master Ye, when will you depart?"
"The day after tomorrow morning," Night Wind replied.
Tomorrow night will be another dream mission.
So leaving tomorrow is definitely not an option; it would be difficult to handle if something unexpected happened.
"Alright, I understand. Young Master Ye, if you need anything, just let me know, and I will definitely prepare it for you," Tang Fenglong said with a smile.
"You're too kind, Patriarch Tang," Ye Feng said.
"You saved my sister's life and have been a great help to our Tang family, so it's only right that I help you," Tang Fenglong said with a smile.
After Tang Fenglong left, Ye Feng lowered his head and pondered, making plans in his mind.
If Ye Feng were to encounter the Star Toad in the Nebula Marsh, he wouldn't be without the strength to fight it head-on.
Ye Feng himself was at the peak of the Saint Realm, on par with the Star Toad, and Ye Feng also had three magic treasures at his disposal.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about at all.
However, reducing the difficulty and risk through other means is definitely better than engaging in a head-on battle with the Star Toad.
"Star Toad, Star Toad... I've got an idea!"
Ye Feng's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The next morning, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan left the Tang family mansion and arrived at the largest pharmacy in Xingyun City—Zhenbaolou.
"Do you have any Scattered Star Grass here?" Night Wind asked.
The manager of the Treasure Pavilion immediately replied, "Scattered Star Grass? This high-grade medicinal herb is extremely precious and valuable..."
“I can afford it, don’t worry,” Ye Feng interrupted the manager.
So the old steward said, "Then you wait here for a while, I'll go up and ask."
After the steward left, Luo Mengxuan asked telepathically, "Junior brother, what are you buying the Scattered Star Grass for?"
"When combined with other medicinal herbs, Scattered Star Grass can be used to refine an eighth-grade spiritual pill called Scattered Star Illusion Cloud Pill, which has a remarkable effect on Star Toads," Night Wind explained through telepathic communication.
"I see." Luo Mengxuan suddenly realized.
“I have all the other medicinal herbs, except for the Star-Scattering Grass. It would be great if this Treasure Pavilion had it. If not, it doesn’t matter. At most, it will just make things a little harder when facing the Star Toad,” Ye Feng said.
Luo Mengxuan nodded in agreement.
Before long, the old steward came downstairs, smiling and saying, "Our Treasure Pavilion does indeed have Scattered Star Grass, currently only one, worth 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. If you want it, young master, come upstairs with me. I can't make the decision on such a big deal; my master will discuss it with you personally."
“Then let’s go,” Ye Feng said without hesitation.
The old steward led the way, with Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan following behind him as they went upstairs.
Upon reaching the third floor, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan were led to a luxurious hall.
