Blacksmith Master Huo Yutong
Chapter 772: Blacksmith Master Huo Yutong
After leaving Old Woods's house, Xia Fei found Lang Shunye at the Law Enforcement Board. It was noon, yet Lang Shunye looked like he had not woken up yet, his eyes lifeless. Xia Fei only found out after asking that Big Brother Wolf did not even return home last night and had gone to a brothel for half the night, spending a lot of money and energy on it.
Since they had nothing to do, Lang Shunye and Xia Fei left the Law Enforcement Board and found a restaurant on the street, ordering a few dishes and a bottle of good wine.
"Sigh, our human race lost terribly in the Dragon Ascension Tournament this time, getting crushed by the Sunnis. Zinian hasn't shown his face for several days now, and he's probably feeling embarrassed. Speaking of which, you really should've agreed to fight with him. After all, you're also a human, and it won't look good for anyone if you lose." Lang Shunye swallowed a cup of sake and sighed.
Xia Fei shrugged. "What's the point of me going? It's not like the affairs of the entire human race can be decided by one or two people. "
Lang Shunye retorted. "Winning one more round won't make you lose too much face. Besides, the Sunnis are quite arrogant, saying that they want to fight you by name, even saying that the human race's cursed blade is just a lousy blade. I'm too embarrassed to learn from you." Xia Fei smiled.
"Whether it's a lousy blade or not isn't up to them. Alright, stop adding oil to the fire. The Dragon Ascension Martial Hall isn't bad, but I don't have time to go there yet. Let me ask you: What kind of place is Yanta?"
Lang Shunye was slightly taken aback. He pointed to the left side of the sky. "Yanta is a constellation, where the Sunnis' nest is. Just like us humans live in the White Horse Constellation, the Sunnis live in the Yanta Constellation. You said that you're not interested in the Sunnis, yet you're asking about their nest? Could it be that you're planning on going there alone for revenge?!"
Lang Shunye's eyes sparkled. This guy was treating Xia Fei as a brainless hero, even going so far as to seek revenge in someone else's territory alone. Xia Fei found it hilarious.
"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?" Xia Fei laughed and patted Lang Shunye on the shoulder. "What grudge do I have with the Sunnis? Besides, even if I had a grudge, I would have taken my revenge long ago. How could I have left it until today? "
Lang Shunye shook his head in disappointment and said, "I thought your Skywing clan was angry and wanted to find a chance to teach the arrogant Sunnis a lesson. Sigh, all the famous families in the White Horse Constellation are very interested in this competition with the Sunnis. Only your clan isn't participating."
"I'm really puzzled. Why is your family so strange? They're willing to turn the Law Realm upside down for the sake of a single member of their family, yet they're so indifferent when it comes to such a major issue that involves the entire human race."
Xia Fei was speechless. At this moment, there was no one else in the Skywing Clan. Practically everyone had left, each busy with their own matters. When it came to freedom, if the Skywing Clan claimed to be number two, no one would dare claim to be number one. They were definitely an extremely unconventional existence in the Law Realm.
"In half a month's time, won't there be a gathering at the Yanta Constellation?" Xia Fei changed the topic.
Lang Shunye lowered his head and counted on his fingers. "That's right. It's almost time for the trading day set by the Sunnis. It's very popular among the major races to trade across races, and our White Horse Constellation has such a day too. When the time comes, the entire White Horse Constellation will be open to the Law Realm, and all the intelligent races under the God Race will gather there. It'll be very lively."
At this point, Lang Shunye's expression turned ugly. "However, the humans just lost the competition, so I doubt that many will be heading to the Yanta Constellation."
Xia Fei did not have Lang Shunye's concern for the country and its people. The various races in the Law Realm rarely interacted with each other, and as a human, Xia Fei would be restricted from going to the territories of other races. Having a chance to meet the various major races in the Law Realm was very attractive to Xia Fei. Moreover, he could also investigate the existence of the Law of Time. Based on Xia Fei's habits, he would always beat around the bush even if there were no dates. Who knew?
Of course, according to his habits, what Xia Fei revealed was not just dates but also baskets.
"Free trading seems very interesting. What do I have to do to get to the Yanta Constellation?" Xia Fei asked.
Lang Shunye looked at Xia Fei strangely. "How? Brother, you're a Law Emperor of the Skywing Race, yet you're actually asking me how to get to the Yanta Constellation? "
Xia Fei very seriously nodded.
Lang Shunye helplessly said, "Not only can you go to such a gathering as you please, you can even go as an honored guest. If I'm not mistaken, your Skywing Race should've received an invitation long ago. Just go home and ask Lord Five."
…
Identity was not omnipotent, but there were times when it was necessary. Originally, Xia Fei thought that he would have to go through a lot of trouble to get to the Sunnis' Yanta Constellation, but little did he know that they had already sent an invitation home.
Xia Fei could only smile bitterly at this. It seemed that he still needed some time to truly get used to his identity as a member of the Skywing Race.
Lang Shunye still had to be on duty at the Law Enforcement Board in the afternoon, so he bade Xia Fei farewell after a simple meal. Xia Fei took the piece of paper Hua Bai had given him and went to look for that legendary master craftsman.
* Whoosh ~ *
Fig Corporation's Model 100 Precision Compass adjusted the coordinates and sent Xia Fei to a remote, desolate area.
The mountain was extremely tall. Half of it was right in front of him, while the other half was hidden in the clouds. It was a place that was shrouded in mystical aura.
Walking up the mountain path, the bluestone slabs of stairs stretched on endlessly, winding like a long snake.
Following Hua Bai's instructions, Xia Fei did not use his speed ability, instead climbing the mountain step by step. Xia Fei did not understand why he was doing this, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it would not be good to anger an expert. It was said that this master craftsman was eccentric and had many cumbersome and useless rules.
A few moments later, Xia Fei appeared halfway up the mountain. His physique was far better than the average person's, so even if he did not use his special ability, climbing the mountain was as easy as lifting a finger.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei noticed a strange-looking old man squatting by the side of the road and looking at him. His eyes were squinted, and his face was ruddy and his hair was black. It was just that his eyes were pitifully small, like two soybeans, but he was rather spirited.
To be able to silently appear in front of him was enough to show that this old man was no ordinary person. Xia Fei smiled and bowed to the old man. "Greetings, Elder Huo Yutong."
The old man was slightly taken aback, asking in confusion, "Whose descendant are you? Do you know me? "
Xia Fei was inwardly delighted. To meet an old man with the air of an immortal in the wilderness, he was most likely a legendary expert. Xia Fei used his eyes to judge people, and the other half was guessing.
In any case, bowing was not going to kill him. At worst, he could just admit his mistake and apologize. If he guessed correctly, he would have the upper hand.
"This junior sees that you have the air of an immortal and must be a legendary expert, so I boldly guessed your identity, and I didn't think that I would be right."
Xia Fei's flattery made the old demon lord's scalp go numb. He recalled that Xia Fei seemed to have similarly flattered him back then, and Oro had been rather pleased with himself back then. Only after spending some time together did Oro realize that Xia Fei was not doing this without benefits. Not only did he want to flatter him, he also wanted to give him a gift.
Sure enough, before the old man with the surname Huo could figure out what was going on, Xia Fei had already handed over the gift, and Oro felt a chill in his heart.
It turned out that this so-called expert was not at all high. Over the years, who knew how many experts had been drowned in Xia Fei's flattery?
One would not slap a smiling person, and no matter how strange Huo Yutong's temper was, he could not afford to flare up at the smiling Xia Fei. He somewhat proudly said, "Young man, you have good eyes. I'm Huo Yutong. What's your name?"
"This junior is Xia Fei." Xia Fei bowed again and respectfully said.
Huo Yutong was startled at first, but he soon burst into laughter. "Xia Fei? That Xia Fei from the Skywing Clan? "
Xia Fei nodded. "Do you know me, senior?"
Huo Yutong grabbed Xia Fei's arm, appearing very friendly as he said, "I know you too well. Towering Wind Pavilion's Xia Honest is my sect brother."
Xia Fei was speechless, thinking that he had failed in his attempt to flatter Huo Yutong. He did not have a good relationship with Xia Honest, so this matter was probably going to be bad.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yutong was very friendly with Xia Fei, laughing as he walked. "I heard that Xia Honest was spending a lot of money to buy high-grade Origin Crystals, and it was only after asking around that I found out that the old rascal had actually been screwed over by you! You got rid of an entire warehouse of his stock, and that's truly satisfying! "
Xia Fei was momentarily speechless. The situation was very clear. Though Xia Honest and Huo Yutong were fellow disciples, they did not have a good relationship. Hearing that Xia Honest had suffered a setback, Huo Yutong was even happier than if he was celebrating the new year.
…
Huo Yutong was a master artificer, but his residence was extremely simple. A few wooden huts hidden in the depths of the forest made up his entire home, and he did not even have a single servant in the front or back yard. He actually needed to brew tea and welcome guests, and the tea set and tea leaves he used were even more appalling.
Seeing the confusion in Xia Fei's eyes, Huo Yutong smugly said, "I'm not like Xia Honest, only thinking about money. As an artificer, all I can think about is how to make money. Hmph!"
Xia Fei nodded repeatedly, hastily praising Huo Yutong for his noble character and unquestionable integrity, saying that he had the strength of a master. Huo Yutong was naturally very pleased with these words.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe it." The old demon lord shook his head. "Money in the Law Realm is different from other things. It's pure Origin Energy, and no one would dislike the feeling of holding a large amount of energy in their hands. Besides, he's an artificer, so he has to deal with Origin Crystals on a daily basis. How could he not like money?"
Xia Fei quietly replied, "That's not necessarily the case. In any case, it's a good thing that he doesn't like money. If he asks for too much, I might not be able to afford it. Just the raw materials needed to construct the Celestial Zerohammer is an astronomical figure, and the effort expended cannot be measured with money."
In their conversation, Huo Yutong had completely refuted Xia Honest, who only cared about business, while he had described himself as an otherworldly expert with a pure heart and few desires.
Changing the topic, Huo Yutong asked Xia Fei why he had come.
Xia Fei looked around and sternly said, "Brother Hua Hei and Brother Hua Bai sent me."
Huo Yutong was startled, his eyes flashing. He hurriedly asked, "Are the two benefactors doing well?"
Xia Fei replied, "The two of them are doing well, but it's inevitable that they'll be on the move."
"Oh!" Huo Yutong let out a long sigh. There were some things that did not need to be said too clearly, and it was best for them to stop here. After all, Hua Hei and Hua Bai were still wanted, so it was not convenient for them to say too much.
It was said that Hua Hei and Hua Bai had once saved Huo Yutong's life. Back then, he did not have the cultivation of a Great Artificer, so the Black and White Gods had sent Xia Fei to find Huo Yutong, hoping that he would try to construct the Celestial Zerohammer for the sake of this debt.
