Even though Aber's strength shocked Xing Jue, Xing Jue did not retreat. Instead, he walked towards Aber's house. Even if he wanted to escape, Xing Jue knew that Aber's strength was not something that he could escape from.
When Xing Jue entered the house, he discovered that Aber was sitting on a simple bamboo chair. There was a cup of steaming hot tea on the bamboo table in front of him. He was smiling at Xing Jue.
"Buzz."
But at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly felt an invisible soundproof space appear and instantly cover the house. What shocked Xing Jue the most was that the barrier was extremely powerful. It was so powerful that Xing Jue was unable to set it up.
However, even with such a powerful Spirit Formation, Xing Jue didn't discover who had done it. But looking at Aber, who was looking at him with a smile, Xing Jue knew in his heart that the person who had just done it was Aber. However, Aber clearly hadn't done anything. His brilliant technique of setting up a Spirit Formation really made Xing Jue sigh in admiration.
"Come, sit down." Looking at Xing Jue, who was standing at the entrance with a face full of shock, Aber smiled and gently waved his hand, indicating for him to sit down.
Seeing this, Xing Jue also smiled and sat on the bamboo chair opposite Aber.
Aber pushed the cup of tea in front of Xing Jue and said with a smile, "Xing Jue, just ask whatever you want to ask."
"Aber, I just don't understand. An expert like you could have become a top figure in the Towering Sky Region. Why did you hide in the Demon Refinement Tribe with such a lowly identity?" When Aber took the initiative to ask, Executioner Yi could not help but hesitate. Instead, he tactfully explained his unease.
"Haha, actually, you want to ask me what my motive is for the Demon Refinement Tribe, right?"
However, after listening to Xing Jue's words, Aber smiled and turned his sharp gaze towards Xing Jue. At this moment, Xing Jue's body trembled. Aber's gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to see through everything. Xing Jue did not even dare to breathe as he was afraid of being seen through.
"Hahaha, you little brat. In the end, your relationship with the Demon Refinement Clan isn't that deep. However, for the sake of the Demon Refinement Clan, you were willing to take the risk to come find me. This friendship is truly admirable."
"Furthermore, you could very well inform the Beast Refinement Clan about me. That way, you would be able to reduce the risk. Yet, you chose not to do so."
Aber smiled at Xing Jue again and said, "I believe you have considered this old man's safety. You are truly a person who values friendship. However, I do not know how to evaluate your indecisiveness."
Seeing that Aber had already made his intentions clear, Xing Jue did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "I just do not want to wrongly accuse you. I feel that you have no ill intentions towards the Demon Refinement Clan. That is why I want to know what your motive is."
"My motive? I have many motives. However, you have already completed one of them. "
"To think that the secret of the relic that I have painstakingly deciphered for close to a hundred years was actually solved by you in just a dozen days."
"Ai, this old man is truly ashamed." Aber sighed with a melancholic expression.
"What? Aber, you actually knew that I peeked at the method to decipher the relic that you drew? " After hearing Aber's words, Xing Jue revealed an even more shocked expression. It turned out that Aber had purposely drawn that diagram in front of him.
"If I didn't do that, how would you have helped me solve the mystery of the relic?" Aber suddenly turned his wrist and a book that was not very big but was faintly glowing appeared in front of Xing Jue.
"This is!"
When Xing Jue saw the book, his expression instantly changed and a trace of shock appeared on his face. This was because there were four large words written on the book: "Weapon Refining Treasure Book." This was actually the most precious treasure of the Demon Refinement Clan, the Weapon Refining Treasure Book.
"This is the Weapon Refining Treasure Book of the Demon Refinement Clan. This old man has already integrated the contents that you deciphered in the relic into this book. This is a copy, but it is a complete copy of the Weapon Refining Treasure Book."
"As a reward for helping this old man decipher the contents of the relic, this old man has decided to give this Weapon Refining Treasure Book to you."
"Don't reject this old man's good intentions. This Weapon Refining Treasure Book can help you restore that Purple Gold Battle Armor to a Spiritual Tool. This way, when you face powerful enemies in the future, it will be a life-saving asset."
"However, you must also promise this old man that after you have completely mastered this Weapon Refining Treasure Book, you must destroy it. You must not let a second person see its contents, and you must not pass on the method of weapon refining in the Weapon Refining Treasure Book to a second person." Just when Xing Jue was shocked that Aber actually had this Weapon Refining Treasure Book, Aber said something that shocked Xing Jue even more.
At this moment, Xing Jue was a little hesitant because this Weapon Refining Treasure Book was the Demon Refinement Clan's treasure. Coupled with his relationship with Yao Xinyan, if he really took this Weapon Refining Treasure Book from Aber, it would be a little disloyal.
However, if what Aber said was true and this Weapon Refining Treasure Book could help Xing Jue restore his Purple Gold Battle Armor to a Spiritual Tool, then the temptation was too great. It was so great that Xing Jue found it hard to resist.
"Take it, kid. Since you have already come here alone, do you still not trust me?"
"Actually, as you have guessed, I have no ill intentions towards the Demon Refinement Clan. However, I am not staying here just for your Weapon Refining Treasure Book."
"As for other reasons, this old man is not in a position to tell you. However, this old man can promise you that I will definitely not do anything to harm the Demon Refinement Clan. In fact, I will even help the Demon Refinement Clan at a critical moment. This is because I have agreed to a request from an old friend." Seeing that Xing Jue was in a difficult position, Aber continued. Between his words, he revealed some secrets to Xing Jue.
"Aber, so you are …"
"Since that is the case, then this junior thanks senior for your kindness."
At this moment, Xing Jue came to a sudden realization. The uneasiness in his heart was finally gone. Then, he excitedly took the Weapon Refining Treasure Book from the table and put it into his storage bracelet.
At this moment, Xing Jue firmly believed that Aber would not harm the Demon Refinement Clan. From Aber's words, Xing Jue could tell that this mysterious expert was willing to stay here because of a request from an old friend. It was very likely that his old friend was the previous patriarch of the Demon Refinement Clan, Yao Xinyan's grandfather who had passed away.
After that, Xing Jue chatted with Aber for a while. Aber personally told Xing Jue about the things that he needed to pay attention to when refining a Weapon. From Aber's words, Xing Jue could tell that Aber was definitely a top Weapon Refining Master.
Because Xing Jue had read dozens of Weapon Refining Secret Books before, he already had a good understanding of the art of Weapon Refining. After listening to Aber's words, Xing Jue instantly felt that his understanding of Weapon Refining had increased to another level.
The two of them chatted for an entire day. Only when night fell did Xing Jue bid farewell to Aber, the mysterious expert, and return to his residence.
Looking at the direction that Xing Jue left, Aber stood in the courtyard with a faint smile on his face. "That brat is not simple. I don't know why, but I see the shadow of that brat on him."
"You're here?" Suddenly, Xing Jue looked behind him with a sharp gaze. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up and he said with a smile.
"Om."
Just as Aber finished speaking, the space behind him suddenly squirmed. Then, a figure appeared. It was the current patriarch of the Demon Refiner Clan, Yao Yutian.
"Looks like Lord Father thinks very highly of that brat, Xing Jue." After Yao Yutian appeared, he respectfully bowed to Aber and said with a smile.
"Haha, don't you also think highly of him?" However, Aber only smiled in response to Yao Yutian's words.
"Yes, that brat's comprehension is top-notch. If he continues to grow, his future will be limitless. It might not be impossible for him to become the second Dugu Changyi."
Yao Tianyu smiled as he looked in the direction of the Punishment Executioner's residence. His gaze was filled with admiration.
"You also feel that he's similar to Changyi?" Aber was a little surprised.
"Yes, he does look similar in some aspects, but the most similar thing is his extraordinary talent in cultivation. However, Changyi has no children. Otherwise, I would really suspect that Xing Jue is Changyi's son." "That's right.
"Sigh. If that's the case, then the marriage between us can be realized. But what a pity, what a pity." Yao Yutian suddenly thought of the past with a trace of nostalgia on his face.
"Sigh. If Changyi didn't focus on cultivation back then, then he wouldn't have no successor and let that despicable Dugu Haoyu inherit the Mystical Hall's position. Looking at Dugu Feng now, I'm afraid that the Mystical Hall will also have no successor." Yao Yutian spoke again, and when he mentioned Dugu Feng, a wisp of joy appeared on his face.
"If that's the case, then it's a good thing for my Demon Refiner Clan. However, Dugu Haoyu's strength seems to have improved by quite a bit. I'm afraid that he's only a step away from that level. "
"I must quickly reach that level before him. Otherwise, even if I managed to fool him by faking my death, he will definitely not let my Demon Refiner Clan off the moment he reaches that level."
But when Yao Yutian mentioned Dugu Haoyu's name, Aber's face suddenly turned grave and an undetectable killing intent faintly floated around him.
