Before long, a shadow appeared in the night sky and the sound of wings flapping could be heard.
A large group of Azure Falcon guards arrived. They were densely packed and covered the skies, almost surrounding Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
"Greetings, commander."
Many Azure Falcon guards rode on their gigantic Azure Falcons and cupped their fists at the same time, shouting in unison.
Everyone swept their gazes across the courtyard and could not help but feel shocked at the tragic battlefield.
The bearded man nodded and waved his hand. "Take this corpse away. You guys can leave first. I'll guard this place for the night to prevent any more bandits from coming to assassinate Mr. Mo."
"Understood!"
On the surface, many Azure Falcon guards agreed.
In reality, everyone was muttering in their hearts.
Although Mo Ling's reputation had been flourishing in the capital in recent years, there was no need for the bearded man to guard this place personally as the commander of the Azure Falcon guards.
Now that the bearded man had taken such a stance, Mo Ling's status in everyone's hearts rose once more.
Before long, the Azure Falcon guards retreated.
The only ones left in the courtyard were the bearded man, Nien Qi and Night Spirit who was sprawled in a corner with half-closed eyes, as though he was taking a nap.
The wait was torturous.
The bearded man's gaze was fixed on Su Zimo's secret chamber the entire time – he had never felt that a night could be so long.
Six hours passed in that silent night.
When the sun rose and the clouds broke through the fog, the door to the secret chamber opened with a creak.
Su Zimo strode out with a gigantic hammer in his hands.
The bearded man bounced up from his chair and strode towards Su Zimo with an excited expression.
When he arrived, the bearded man took the hammer from Su Zimo's hands and felt his arm sink – if he did not use all his strength, he would fall!
The weight was sufficient!
The bearded man nodded to himself.
Focusing his gaze, the bearded man saw four patterns etched on the surface of the hammer that were intricate and beautiful.
"Could it be …"
The bearded man's eyes lit up as he channeled his Jin Dan and injected spirit energy.
Swoosh!
The hammer shone brightly and an aura as thick as the heavens and earth spread out. The four spirit patterns were dazzling!
A supreme-grade spirit weapon!
The bearded man was elated and could not conceal the excitement in his eyes. Bowing deeply to Su Zimo, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Mo!"
For Su Zimo, refining a supreme-grade spirit weapon was a piece of cake. However, in the eyes of the bearded man, this favor was way too great.
The curly-bearded man said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Mo. From today onwards, as long as it's my Azure Falcon guards patrolling, I'll definitely walk around here more often. If I discover any abnormalities, I'll be able to rush over immediately!"
Su Zimo smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."
…
The next morning.
The assassination attempt at Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop last night had already spread through the capital and caused a huge uproar.
In this world, there was no wall that didn't have a crack.
Moreover, it happened in the Royal City.
Last night, Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop shone with a dazzling formation light, illuminating the surroundings as though it was daytime and waking countless people up.
"Have you heard? I heard that Perfected Being Jin Dan tried to assassinate Mr. Mo last night but failed. Instead, he died at the banks of Jishui River."
"That's right. I heard that even the commander of the Azure Falcon guards was alerted."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Some Azure Falcon guards carried a corpse out. The corpse was beyond recognition and was completely dead," A cultivator said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Some cultivators claimed to have seen Mr. Mo and even said that he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Fufu, now it's clear that Mr. Mo is definitely Perfected Being Jin Dan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the night. "
"I've already said that Mr. Mo is Perfected Being Jin Dan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to refine superior-grade or even supreme-grade spirit weapons."
In the streets, alleys, taverns, teahouses and stalls, almost everyone was discussing this matter.
In the palace.
A middle-aged man in yellow robes leaned back on the dragon throne with a booklet that had just been presented before him. His gaze was deep and his broad forehead revealed his extraordinary intelligence.
Behind the middle-aged man stood a scholarly man with a calm expression. His gaze was reserved and his cultivation was unfathomable.
The yellow-robed man was the Emperor of Great Zhou!
Not far in front of the Emperor of Great Zhou, an armored Perfected Being Jin Dan knelt on one knee. His face was dark and his beard was curly – he was the commander of the Azure Falcon guards who saved Su Zimo last night.
Earlier on, the curly-bearded man was summoned by the Emperor of Great Zhou for an audience and recounted everything that happened last night without hiding anything.
"In that case, Mo Ling can truly refine supreme-grade spirit weapons?" The Emperor of Great Zhou closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before opening them. His gaze was bright as he asked slowly with a doubtful tone.
"Yes!"
The curly-bearded man replied, "Not only was he able to refine supreme-grade spirit weapons, he only used six hours. Furthermore, I feel that be it Mr. Mo or his maidservant, they are 100% confident in spirit gathering. "
"100% spirit gathering?"
The Emperor of Great Zhou murmured softly and narrowed his eyes.
If that was the case, it would be enough to shock the entire cultivation world!
"Perfected Lord Ming Ze, what do you think?" The Emperor of Great Zhou glanced sideways.
The fact that he was addressed as a Perfected Lord meant that he was already at the Nascent Soul realm!
The scholarly man standing behind him said, "In Tianhuang Mainland, the most skilled weapon refinement sects are Hundred Refinement Sect. It's said that Hundred Refinement Sect does have secret skills that can increase the success rate of spirit gathering. However, it's definitely impossible for it to be 100%. "
The Emperor of Great Zhou nodded. "This person should have some sort of unique spirit gathering technique. Although he can't have a 100% success rate, the success rate is definitely extremely high!"
"Fufu … not bad. This Mo Ling is quite something."
The Emperor of Great Zhou smiled and nodded slightly with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you tempted by this talent?" Perfected Lord Ming Ze asked with a smile.
"That's right."
The Emperor of Great Zhou said, "After a while, I'll find some time to head to Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop to meet this person."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze frowned slightly and advised, "Your Majesty, you're the emperor. Even if this lad is someone important, it's not worth it for you to take the initiative to meet him. Just summon him to the capital."
"Furthermore, even if this person can refine supreme-grade spirit weapons, he's only a Weapon Refinement Master. As long as his cultivation isn't at Nascent Soul realm, he won't be able to refine Dharmic weapons and naturally won't be able to become a Weapon Refinement Master. "
Reaching Nascent Soul realm meant that a cultivator had taken another important step in their path of cultivation!
When the Jin Dan was perfected, it meant that the path of core formation had come to an end.
The Jin Dan was born in the dantian, round and golden like a placenta.
Only by shattering the Jin Dan could the infant within be born successfully and achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation realm, obtaining a new life!
And this infant was the so-called 'Nascent Soul' in the world of cultivation.
That was the reason why there was a saying in the cultivation world about the birth of a Nascent Soul after shattering the core.
Genying Zhenjun had completely broken away from the scope of spirit energy and was beginning to control another type of power – Dharmic power!
It was a power that was even stronger and more terrifying than spirit energy.
The so-called Dharmic arts could only be released by Genying Zhenjun.
As for Genying Zhenjun's weapons, they were Dharmic weapons.
In the world of weapon refinement, only cultivators who could refine Dharmic weapons could be called Weapon Refinement Masters!
That was the reason why Perfected Lord Ming Ze said bluntly that Su Zimo was still unable to refine Dharmic weapons due to the limitations of his cultivation realm and was not worthy of the Emperor of Great Zhou's high regard to meet him.
