Of course, this was not what made Qi Yang most angry.

But he had just told Li Zhiming that he was not qualified.

He didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly, which made him feel extremely ashamed!

"Mr. Shi, please forgive me for being so outspoken."

"Come here and apologize!"

Yao Xian scolded.

Qi Yang clenched his fists, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"No need, your nephew is not qualified to apologize to me, get out of here now."

Shi Bujue's tone became increasingly fierce, showing no mercy at all.

Yao Xian had an unpleasant look on his face. Although he felt unhappy, he didn't say much.

"Walk!"

He scolded and turned away.

“Wait!”

Qi Yang felt deflated. He looked at Li Zhiming coldly and then left in shame.

Such a commotion naturally attracted many disciples.

They naturally recognized Yao Xian and Qi Yang, as well as Li Zhiming.

"Senior Shi really has a hot temper. Even the chief commander of the Punishment Hall was turned away when he came."

"You can't blame anyone else for this. That person is Qi Yang, the commander-in-chief's nephew. He is usually arrogant and domineering. He dared to act in front of Old Shi. I was already showing mercy by not breaking his legs!"

"That's right, let alone the commander-in-chief, even if the leader of Tieshi Peak comes, if Senior Shi is unhappy, he will be kicked out anyway!"

"Hey... that young man looks so familiar, he looks a bit like Li Zhiming from Qingluan Peak!"

"Li Zhiming from Qingluan Peak?!"

“Is this true?”

"I can testify that it is true. Just now, Chen Pi from our Danfeng completed a deal with Senior Brother Li. Look, Chen Pi is so happy that he can't stop smiling." Someone said.

"Is that Li Zhiming from Qingluan Peak? He is indeed a handsome man!"

"Senior Brother Li is now very popular, a famous figure at Qingluan Peak, and highly regarded by the headmaster. His future is limitless. It would be a great honor to make friends with him!"

"Li Zhiming seems to be looking for Senior Shi to do something for him, I wonder if there is any chance?"

"That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten that the Saint Girl came to see Senior Shi three times and was turned away twice? I don't think this Li Zhiming will be able to survive!"

People's eyes fell on Li Zhiming and they began to talk in low voices.

"You kid, be careful with what you say and do in the future. I've spoiled you too much!"

Yao Xian came to the top of the valley and scolded Qi Yang beside him.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I messed up!" Qi Yang bowed and apologized.

"Okay, even though we were turned away, there is more than one weapon-refining master in the inner sect, Shi Bujue. Let's go to Shitie Peak," Yao Xian said.

"Uncle, I want to stay in the market to see if there is anything I need to buy." Qi Yang requested.

"I think you want to see how Li Zhiming gets humiliated?" Yao Xian saw through it at a glance.

"Stay here, and remember to be careful with your words and actions, and don't get into conflict with others again, otherwise I will put you in solitary confinement for half a month!" Yao Xian warned.

"Don't worry, uncle. I'll just stay here and take a look." Qi Yang replied.

After Yao Xian left, Qi Yang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Li Zhiming, just wait for me. When the trial road opens, I will let you know my methods!"

In the market, Shi Bujue sat up and said, "Boy, have you seen enough?"

"If you want to buy, choose quickly. If not, get out!" Shi Bujue urged.

"Senior, none of the items you have here are finished products, but they are all top-notch in terms of quality and materials. If I were to buy them, it would be like buying a defective item, and I would need to find someone to refine and repair them."

"I wonder if there is any follow-up service here, senior?"

Facing Shi Bujue's urging, Li Zhiming smiled calmly.

"You have a good eye, much better than other disciples. At least you can tell that what I have on display are all good things."

Shi Bujue lay back in his chair, his facial expression looking much more relaxed.

"You are a bunch of blind people who can't even tell the good from the bad. You still want to buy things from this old man. What the hell are you thinking?"

"So what Senior Shi means is that your disciples can buy things from you?" Li Zhiming asked tentatively.

"oh?"

"You are very confident. Who told you that?"

Shi Bujue asked suddenly.

“Cough cough cough…”

After Shi Bujue finished speaking, he coughed twice violently.

"Um?"

"Such a strong temper?"

Li Zhiming noticed the sudden surge of fire-attributed true qi in Shi Bujue's body. This fire-attributed true qi was a bit strange.

"Could it be, fire poison?"

Li Zhiming guessed in his heart.

Equipment refiners are experts at playing with fire, but sometimes they fail.

When refining spiritual weapons, one has to control fire for a long time, which will put a certain burden on the body.

When the body can no longer bear it, if you try to control the fire forcibly, you will suffer backlash.

Some weapon refiners may go astray, resulting in failure in refining, explosion of materials, erosion of the mixed flames, and thus chronic illness, which is fire poison.

Once the fire poison is formed, it will be fine if it does not break out. But once it breaks out, it will be extremely painful and will also cause the level and realm of refining to stagnate.

The fire energy that just burst out of Shi Bujue's body in an instant has probably caused his body to be corroded by the fire poison for a long time.

He must have been refining weapons out of revenge for a period of time, then he became obsessed, had an accident, and was invaded by fire poison in his foundation, which became more and more serious as time went by.

This fire poison is not that serious, but it is very difficult to solve.

The fire poison invades the flesh, blood, and bones. Most elixirs are ineffective. They can only use the energy that restrains the fire poison to penetrate into the flesh, blood, and bones, and refine it bit by bit.

Among them, one careless operation will cause irreparable damage.

Moreover, in this world, is there anyone whose true qi has the effect of expelling fire poison?

Not everyone is like Li Zhiming, who practices the Taiqing Heart Method, an immortal-level skill.

"I'm getting old and less and less useful."

Shi Bujue waved his hands and made up an excuse to cover up his physical problems.

"If I didn't even have that little bit of confidence, I wouldn't have come this far." Li Zhiming replied with a bow.

"I'm sorry, old man. Your self-confidence is of no use to me. We are not destined to be together. You should go back." Shi Bujue shook his head.

Li Zhiming frowned.

This old man really has a weird temper.

It turns out that being humble doesn't work, and being a little more confident doesn't work either. It's really difficult.

However, Li Zhiming did not want to give up, but cupped his hands and said, "Since this disciple and Senior Shi have no chance, then this disciple will take his leave."

"Let's go, let's go." Shi Bujue shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand and coughed twice.

"The fire poison in Mr. Shi's body has penetrated deep into his bones. If he is not treated, he will be in serious trouble."

After leaving a few words, Li Zhiming turned and left.

Shi Bujue heard this and his expression suddenly changed, "Stop, you little bastard!"
