Chapter 257: Inlaying Gems
Ye Fei turned her gaze to the Frost and Snow Blade in Yun Fusang's hand, a red gem set into the smooth, ice-like blade.
"The first gem inlaid on your weapon is crimson, which increases attack attributes, right?" Xie Qingui pointed at the gem and smiled as he looked at Yun Fusang.
Yun Fusang nodded: "That's right. Qin Gui, as a weapon refiner, do you have any good suggestions for the second gem?"
"I suggest that the second gem you look for should be deep blue."
Yun Fusang's dark eyes shifted slightly: "Dark blue? So that means it increases agility?"
Xie Qingui stared at the Frostblade, a faint light flashing in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, this dagger of yours should be made of ice crystal cold stone."
“…Yes.” Yun Fusang was still surprised that Xie Qin Gui could tell the materials used to make the Frost Snow Blade at a glance.
“The Ice Crystal Cold Stone is a naturally formed millennium-old stone marrow. Its coldness is difficult for people to control, and its excessive weight is also a major drawback.” Xie Qingui stroked his chin and concluded directly: “The best way to deal with this fatal flaw is to increase the weapon’s agility attribute, making it lighter and more nimble.”
Yun Fusang's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "That's absolutely right. I also think the Frost Snow Blade is too heavy, and sometimes it's not very convenient to hold."
"This seems interesting..." Ye Fei smiled and started to think. If this kind of gem that can increase attributes could be embedded in a certain type of hidden weapon, its power would be astonishing without a doubt.
Xie Qingui invited everyone, "Would you like to go take a look together?"
Yu Muhan gave Xie Qingui an apologetic smile: "I need to practice new spirit master techniques, and my time is tight, so I probably won't have a chance to go..."
Huang Rongyu said helplessly, "I have to supervise Mu Han, so I can't go either."
Mu Jingshen said indifferently, "I have something to do and need to return to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
Ye Fei nodded: "Okay, then it'll be Fusang, Qin Gui, me, and..."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan watched her silently, without saying a word, but Ye Fei understood the meaning in his eyes—wherever you go, I will follow.
Ye Fei coughed lightly and immediately looked away: "And Li, let's all go to Jubao Tower together."
That's how it was settled.
Three days later, Ye Fei, Li Yuan, and Yun Fusang set off from the academy to Po Yue Tower to wait for Xie Qin Gui.
Before long, two figures emerged from Poyue Tower, one in front of the other. Ye Fei looked up and saw that the one in front was a man in a black robe. He had an ordinary appearance, a calm expression, an elegant posture, and an aura that was hard to ignore.
Ye Fei glanced at him a few more times. This man looked so familiar. Had she seen him somewhere before?
Walking behind the man was Xie Qingui. He quickened his pace and introduced the man to the three of them: "This is my master. He will be accompanying us to Jubaolou this time."
Xie Qin Gui's master?
Ye Fei finally remembered—she had seen this man at the auction before.
He was Song Yu, the master of Poyue Tower, who bought that Crimson Flame Golden Crystal back then!
Yun Fusang bowed to Song Yu with clasped hands, saying, "I have long admired your name, Master Song."
Song Yu looked at Yun Fusang's undisguised pointed ears and the auspicious cloud jade pendant hanging at her waist, and nodded: "So you are the fifth young lady of the Yun family."
Yun Fusang asked in surprise, "This is my first meeting with Master Song. How did you know that I am the fifth among the younger generation of the Yun family?"
