"Disciple Ruyan greets Master!"
Ruyan knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed three times. Patriarch Hongye nodded with satisfaction and casually cast a talisman. A red leaf mark appeared between Ruyan's eyebrows. With this mark, even a strong man in the fusion stage would not dare to do anything to Ruyan. This could be regarded as a greeting gift.
"When you go to practice with me, you must cut off worldly ties. No matter what your past and present lives were like, you must devote yourself to the Tao from now on!" Master Hongye taught.
"Disciple, I will obey Master's orders!" Ruyan kowtowed again, tears silently falling in her heart. She turned back to Long Junhai and smiled, then said, "Reunions are rare in life, but separations are common. Mr. Long, let's meet again if we are destined to."
Long Junhai nodded and watched the other party and Master Hongye leave. Although the woman Ruyan did not leave any traces in his heart, she still caused a ripple. In this mundane world, there are not many things that he can keep in his heart. He just doesn't know when the inner demon will arise and when it will end. When he asks himself, he actually feels a little confused on the road of life.
Long Junhai shook his head to get rid of all these distracting thoughts. He knew that the reason was that he had been practicing for too short a time. Reaching the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm in these hundreds of years inevitably made him restless and uneasy. For the next period of time, he planned to suspend his practice and train his state of mind.
Two years later, Long Junhai appeared in a not-so-big city. Although it was not prosperous enough, it had already left the seaside islands and had completely entered the spiritual world. It was just a city on the edge of the spiritual world.
Tuan City covers an area of ten thousand miles, which is indeed not very big for cultivators. There are no large exchanges and no large shopping malls, but it gives people a very peaceful feeling. The people living here have less murderous aura and more worldly aura, as if they care more about enjoying the beauty of the world rather than practicing.
The people here do not practice day and night, and their lifestyle is similar to that of ordinary people. Basically, everyone's cultivation level is around the Golden Core Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage is very rare, and the Spirit Transformation Stage is even rarer, not to mention the masters of the Void Refining Stage. After all, there is nothing here, and no master is willing to stay in such a small place, so it has become a paradise for low-level cultivators.
"Huaxia Blacksmith Shop? What a strange name! Senior Brother, why don't we forge weapons here? This is a newly opened shop, maybe they can forge weapons according to our requirements."
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old looked at the sign at the door of a shop curiously. She had walked around Tuan City for a long time, but no one made weapons according to her requirements, which made her very frustrated. Just now, she saw this newly opened shop and felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she thought of going in to try her luck.
"Junior sister, I think you'd better forget it. This shop doesn't look very serious. The name alone sounds weird. What's more, you want to make ordinary weapons, which are not even spiritual weapons. Who will take your business? Besides, even if someone really takes your business, the weapons they make will still be ordinary weapons, which are still useless for our current level. Don't waste your time anymore." The young man on the side persuaded.
In the spiritual world, few people use ordinary weapons, because as long as one has a little talent for cultivation, they can easily cultivate to the foundation-building stage. At that time, they can directly use spiritual weapons without the need to use ordinary weapons.
Of course, there are also some people with poor qualifications. They usually build their foundation in their forties or fifties, so they still have to use ordinary weapons for the first few decades. After all, if they use spiritual weapons during the Qi training period, it will put a great burden on the body, which will affect their future cultivation potential.
Moreover, some good weapons are comparable to primary spiritual weapons at the beginning, so many people will buy weapons for self-defense before the initial stage of foundation building in order to accumulate foundation for themselves.
"No, I still have to ask! Otherwise I won't give up!"
The reason the girl was so persistent was because the weapon in her hand was a relic of her parents. Although it might not be precious to others, it was the most precious thing in her heart! She had to repair the relic left by her parents!
"Well, then go and ask, but I advise you not to have too much hope." The young man sighed. This store didn't look reliable no matter how you looked at it!
The girl walked into the shop resolutely, only to find that the shop was empty except for a table, a set of tea sets, a rocking chair, a palm-leaf fan, and a young man with disheveled hair lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.
When the girl walked in, she thought she had entered the wrong place. This place looked like someone else's backyard and didn't look like a store at all!
"Hello, is this the Huaxia Blacksmith Shop?" the girl asked with a little confusion.
"Isn't it written on the sign at the door?" Long Junhai stretched lazily, with no intention of getting up at all, and didn't even open his eyes.
The girl was stunned for a moment, wondering if this man still wanted to do business. However, in order to repair her parents' relics, she continued to ask, "Please, can you forge a weapon for me?"
"Of course, what do you want?" Long Junhai slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the girl. He saw that she had pretty eyebrows and big watery eyes that were particularly pure. Her oval face with a little baby fat looked very cute, and her figure was well-proportioned. She was the kind of beautiful girl next door.
"I need you to repair my short sword and make it intact. I am willing to pay you any amount of spirit stones!" The girl gritted her teeth. She would rather take out all the spirit stones she had saved to repair the broken sword.
"How many spirit stones are you willing to give? Hehe, can you come up with 10 billion spirit stones?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
The girl was stunned, speechless. A good weapon would only cost about ten spirit stones, and she only had twenty spirit stones on her, yet the other party was asking for ten billion! Was this a joke?
"Junior sister, let's go. I think this guy is either crazy or he deliberately doesn't want to take your business. After all, it's easy to forge weapons, but it's very difficult to repair a broken sword!" The young man on the side looked at Long Junhai coldly. He felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them.
"Young man, you have to have facts to back up your words. I want 10 billion, so I must have a reason for it. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If I can repair your broken sword so that it can chop stars and cut the moon, do you think it's worth 10 billion?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"You are bragging. If you can repair this broken sword into a magic sword that can split stars and cut moons, of course it is worth 10 billion spirit stones! But do you have the ability to do so?" the young man sneered.
"Hehe, if you don't take out 10 billion spirit stones, how do you know that I don't have this ability?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
