The four entered the bottom of the lake. Si Zang followed his senses and rushed towards the center of the lake. He spotted a hidden area in the distance and struck it with his hammer.
Click...
With a crisp sound, the barrier protecting the entire underwater dragon palace immediately opened, and a middle-aged man with scales on his face stepped out: "Four immortals, may I ask what brings you to this humble dragon's place?"
Si Zang silently twirled the hammer in his hand, and the pattern of the large hole faintly appeared on the disturbed water, silently piercing the man's eyes.
"We heard that the fox escaped to your place."
"Is that how it is?"
Si Zang snorted coldly, not in a hurry to expose certain things, and took a few steps into the barrier, throwing the hammer on the ground: "Call her out. This matter can be discussed. There's no need for a life-or-death struggle."
"My esteemed immortals... Little Dragon..."
As they were talking, Lin Feng began to exude a hint of dragon might. This slow yet powerful aura gradually increased in the man's eyes, slowly exceeding his psychological limits and gradually suppressing him under the gaze of the dragon.
"Let her out."
Lin Feng's voice carried an unidentified tone, causing the man's heart to tremble, and he couldn't help but think of agreeing.
That overwhelming, irresistible dragon might was far calmer and more terrifying than any dragon he had ever seen!
"No need... I'm here." Master Baoqing stepped forward, his body still intact, but his expression was somewhat forlorn: "You actually found your way here..."
“Oh, Master Baoqing, you weren’t like this when you came to us.” Sizang immediately became interested: “Come, come, sit down and let’s talk. We can settle the matter of attacking us later.”
Si Zang tossed out six chairs and then took out a table, sitting down quite casually, showing none of his previous arrogant demeanor.
Lin Feng sat down, and Yu He and Tang Hong sat down calmly as well. The man glanced at Lin Feng, then at Bao Qingfangzhu, swallowed hard, and walked involuntarily to a chair, sitting down at the table.
As soon as Baoqing Fangzhu took her seat, Sizang immediately asked with a smile, "Tell me, what did they use to make you take action?"
"A special cultivation method that can rapidly cultivate humans and harvest their essence over a long period of time." Master Baoqing spoke, not daring to say more, but he had said almost everything.
A fierce glint flashed in Si Zang's eyes. Although he was very unhappy, he suppressed it: "If you treat people like livestock, you should be careful about the consequences."
Knowing the problem, Master Baoqing nodded obediently.
"Wait, don't be so scared. We're not going to kill you. Take a moment to recover. I still prefer your former innocent yet alluring charm." Si Zang pulled out a phone, tapped a couple of times, and then produced a video of Bao Qing Fangzhu.
As a catchy background sound played, the screen immediately displayed the scene of Baoqing Fangzhu sending Bai Suzhen to Kunlun.
This is one possibility for the future...
Master Baoqing broke out in a cold sweat, then put on the smile from the video and switched to that cute human face: "Immortal, is what you just said true? Are you really not going to hold me accountable for my actions?"
"It's true, of course." Si Zang nodded repeatedly; that was exactly the feeling, but he seemed a little reserved. "It's simple. I came to you to settle some karmic debts, after all, there's so much fighting and killing..."
It's better for you to be alive and pleasing.
Si Zang stopped speaking. Even if he meant no harm, saying it would inevitably lead to changes.
"Alright, to put it simply, I've heard that your Baoqing Workshop has crafted magical artifacts for countless demons. We have a few artifacts here; could you take a look? If you can assess them well, then this karmic debt can be settled."
Si Zang beckoned, Lin Feng took out the Demon Blade, Tang Hong put down his gauntlets, Yu took out Fang Xiangshi's mask, and Si Zang picked up his Weng Jin Hammer, turned the large hole on it to the front, and placed it in front of Bao Qingfangzhu.
Baoqingfangzhu's face twitched, then he turned his head, sticking out his fox-like face, and approached the weapons to examine them carefully.
First, the demonic blade, sensing the aura emanating from it, caused the hair on its head to stand on end.
Then there were the boxing gloves. The faint, violent aura they exuded made her think of some kind of world-destroying monster, constantly shaking her soul.
Then came the Fangxiangshi mask, a familiar yet ordinary mask that also possessed a terrifying aura, allowing her to see various legendary figures.
Finally, there is the Four Treasures' Golden Hammer, simple yet awe-inspiring.
As Baoqing Fangzhu removed his fox-like face, Sizang's seemingly casual smile suddenly turned chilling. Could ordinary people obtain these things? Could ordinary people create them?
"Is there anything that can be improved?" Lin Feng asked, his calm yet abrupt voice easing the oppressive atmosphere and allowing Baoqingfangzhu to catch his breath.
“This weapon is crafted with exceptional skill. It’s clearly the work of a certain… lord. And its aura is closely related to you. Although I don’t have any good methods, I do have a book on refining techniques here…” As Baoqing Fangzhu spoke, she noticed Sizang’s gaze, so she stepped onto the chair with her small feet, propped up her shoulders, and sat down on the table.
As she turned her fox-like face and playfully moved closer to Lin Feng, she swiftly put down a book on alchemy and retreated back to her chair.
The threat posed by Si Zang stemmed from her background; the Great Cave Seal reached directly to the Heavenly Court, how could she not be afraid? But Lin Feng's threat was chilling to the bone.
"The Method of Nourishing Artifacts with Heavenly Souls"
Lin Feng quickly picked up the Refining Method and glanced at it. The method in the book was similar to his situation, except that he had stored evil thoughts in the Demon Blade, while this method not only fed evil thoughts to the weapon, but also refined the Heavenly Soul into the weapon.
Heavenly Soul, Earthly Soul, Human Soul—not bad, but unfortunately he doesn't have them.
Do you have Star Iron?
“Yes…” Baoqing Fangzhu looked at Lin Feng as he returned the refining method and immediately put on a smile.
How many?
“About this much…” Baoqing Fangzhu raised his hand and gestured with his little finger.
Lin Feng asked, "Do you know where there is any more Star Iron?"
“Star Iron is a rare find, and this piece has been collected by the Dragon Clan over the past ten thousand years.” Baoqing Fangzhu turned around, bypassing the excited Sizang, and came directly to the Dragon Clan man.
"Yes, this piece was also obtained by Xiaolong from the West Sea Dragon Palace." The man immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture after saying this.
"Hmm... let's continue," Lin Feng said after asking.
"Hehe." Master Baoqing breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon jumped to the edge of the table with some restraint, stroking Tang Hong's gauntlets and said, "It can be seen that the forging method of this weapon is very different. This forging method is unprecedented, but because of its clear structure, it lacks some variation."
"If we can refine it again with spiritual fire, it will definitely become even stronger."
"It's yours now." Tang Hong chuckled and handed the boxing gloves to Master Baoqing.
"Huh?" Baoqing Fangzhu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly agreed, "Okay..."
It seems there's no escaping it today.
"The aura contained within this mask is too complex, but it is already showing signs of change. It can break through to the next level without much external force."
Having said that, Yu immediately put away her mask. Then, Si Zang eagerly stood up, grabbing Weng Jinchui: "Not bad, not bad. This humble Taoist also has a request. Could you recommend... cough cough, recommend a fox demon with some spiritual form, preferably one that is both pure and alluring, and about the same height as this humble Taoist..."
"Ahem, I intend to take her as my disciple and guide her into the immortal sect to cultivate."
