Chapter 540: A Honest Man
Ye Fei's eyes flashed. Song Yu actually knew about the Soul-Locking Silk?
Song Yu took a few more careful looks at the Xuanming Prison Silk on the blueprint, then shook his head to himself: "No, although it looks a lot like Soul-Locking Silk, it is a different weapon from Soul-Locking Silk."
"Master Song has a deep understanding of Soul-Locking Silk?" Ye Fei asked.
Song Yu raised his eyes and looked at the black-robed man in front of him. His expression had returned to its usual calm after his earlier surprise: "The Soul-Locking Silk is a thread-like weapon wielded by the Demon Lord Li Yuan, the ruler of the Demon Realm. The Soul-Locking Silk has extremely strong penetrating power, just like the weapon in your blueprint. It is extremely lethal and has the ability to extract souls."
"Then, Master Song, can you make the weapon in the design?" Ye Fei took out the Crimson Flame Golden Crystal from her storage ring and placed it on the table. "White Mulberry Silk has already formed inside this Crimson Flame Golden Crystal. Given Master Song's current level of weapon refiner, extracting the White Mulberry Silk from the ore and then forging it should not be difficult."
Song Yu picked up the Crimson Flame Golden Crystal, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "So, Your Excellency Dongfang hopes to use White Mulberry Silk to forge the weapon in the blueprint. But you're not wrong, Qin Gui is indeed not capable of forging this weapon right now. Extracting White Mulberry Silk is not simple, and his skill level is not yet sufficient."
Ye Fei nodded slightly: "Then, Master Song, are you willing to accept this order?"
“Yes, that’s fine. However, the forging process will take a while. I wonder if Your Excellency can wait?” Song Yu answered readily.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "I'm willing to wait any amount of time for Master Song's weapon."
Song Yu nodded, then turned his gaze to the Crimson Flame Golden Crystal, raising an eyebrow: "However, according to my deduction, the white mulberry silk inside this Crimson Flame Golden Crystal can only make two threads at most, which does not match the description in your drawing that it can wrap around five fingers."
"The purpose of this order is to allow me to test whether the weapons forged by Bai Sangsi can meet my expectations," Ye Fei replied calmly. "If they cannot, I will cut my losses and look for more suitable forging materials."
Hearing Ye Fei say that, Song Yu's impression of her improved even more.
It turns out that this Lord Dongfang, like him, has an extreme pursuit of weapons.
However, judging from her design drawings, these small but highly lethal weapons would be difficult to use effectively without good forging materials.
...
Song Yu and Ye Fei finalized their agreement.
Before leaving, Ye Fei placed a money bag on the table: "Here are 100,000 gold coins, consider it a deposit."
Song Yu shook his head: "Your Excellency Dongfang has taken such good care of Qin Gui. As Qin Gui's master, I am grateful to you and am willing to forge weapons for you free of charge."
Ye Fei waved her hand and left Poyue Tower without saying a word, naturally without taking back the money pouch.
Song Yu stared at Ye Fei's figure for a long time, and the slight wariness he once had towards her disappeared.
This Lord Dongfang seems to be a truly genuine and down-to-earth person... Perhaps, this is the kind of carefree attitude that reclusive masters possess?
After changing out of her black cloak, Ye Fei immediately returned to the academy to cultivate.
Time flies, and the opening day has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ye Fei woke up very early in the morning and practiced ancient martial arts in the courtyard of her dormitory.
Sensing someone approaching from behind, Ye Fei slightly curled her lips, flicked her hand to pick up a green leaf, and turned away swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the leaf, infused with spiritual energy, became as sharp as a blade.
Ye Fei held a green leaf between her fingers and pressed it against the neck of the boy in black, meeting his gaze.
