"Forging the Otherworldly Demons into puppets and setting up commands to make them behave like ordinary humans is indeed difficult to detect within a short period of time! Elder Wu Yangzi probably thought that he was fooling those fellows every single day, and he was filled with so much joy that he forgot about his worries! "
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
As a grandmaster blacksmith, he knew that mankind and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were irreconcilable enemies.
When they were captured, they were bound to be infuriated. Later on, they were able to kill one or two of them every single day. Anyone in his position would surely be overjoyed.
Every single Otherworldly Demon that had survived since the ancient era, each of them possessing strength comparable to his, ended up being turned into puppets by him. Just the thought of it was exhilarating …
Return home? Return home my ass!
Look at how happy it is here!
Only a fool would be homesick and depressed!
At the end of the book, Zhang Xuan's words were filled with joy. With a single look, it was clear that the other party was overjoyed.
As for how he managed to fool so many Otherworldly Demons into accepting his tempering willingly and believing themselves to be immortal … it wasn't written in the book, so there was no way to know.
However, based on Zhang Xuan's deduction, it was likely to be a gradual process.
For example, he would first temper an arm. The arm didn't have much of an impact on one's mental fortitude, so naturally, a second person would be drawn in.
After that, he would temper the legs, spine, and body …
Once everyone's guard was down, he would temper their heads and turn them into puppets …
Of course, this was only Zhang Xuan's conjecture. Without witnessing it personally, he wouldn't be able to tell for sure.
All he knew was that under the passionate efforts of the righteous Elder Wu Yangzi, the Otherworldly Demons who were hoping to extend their lifespans … were wiped out.
"Based on Wu Yangzi laoshi's records, there were at least twenty Otherworldly Demons in this underground palace, and almost all of them fell for his tricks and turned into puppets. If he were to report this matter to Mingshi Tang, the merit he would earn would be enough to ensure that his clan would prosper for generations to come …"
Luo Qiqi suddenly recalled something and said.
Those who had slain the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had contributed greatly to mankind, and they could head to Mingshi Tang to receive their rewards.
The higher the cultivation of the Otherworldly Demons and the greater the number of Otherworldly Demons one killed, the greater the reward one would receive. Grandmaster Wu had single-handedly killed more than twenty Otherworldly Demons of similar cultivation to him. This was more than enough to leave his name in the annals of history, and Mingshi Tang would bless his descendants for generations to come!
In fact, as long as he said it, it would be easy for his descendants to become the emperor of the Hongyuan Empire.
"Well, just report it to Mingshi Tang in detail. As for the reward, it's none of our business!"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Let's talk after we leave!"
Luo Qiqi nodded.
"According to his description, we have to go back the way we came. Although the Dragon Severing Lock can't be opened, there are traps in the surroundings that we can use … In other words, if we want to go back, we have to first get rid of that big guy outside!"
Zhang Xuan.
The method to leave was recorded in the book.
This was the prison where Wu Yangzi was imprisoned, so it was impossible for there to be an exit. If they wanted to leave, they would have to go through the Dragon Severing Lock.
It was clear that this trap couldn't be opened. However, as a master blacksmith, Wu Yangzi had secretly prepared a way out so that he could escape.
However, it was a pity that he didn't succeed in the end.
"Get rid of it?"
Luo Qiqi couldn't help but worry at the thought of that big fellow.
It was simply too fearsome!
Invulnerable to swords and spears, possessing incredible speed and strength, it was practically flawless.
"Don't worry, if there weren't any flaws before … there are now!"
Seemingly seeing through Luo Qiqi's thoughts, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
Even though the Library of Heaven's Path had pointed out the flaws of the Dragon Severing Lock, he was still unable to do anything with his strength and means.
It was just like how an ant would try to kill a divine dragon. Even though he knew the flaws of the dragon, he couldn't even break its skin, so how could he possibly kill it?
He knew that he would die if he were to chop off the other party's head, but the other party's defense and speed were formidable. Even after using his greatest strength and weapon, all he could do was leave a white mark on the other party's body. Naturally, he wasn't a match for the other party!
Thus, against a true expert, the Library of Heaven's Path wouldn't be of much use. This was because … the other party's flaws could be even stronger than one's own strength.
In the previous battle, Zhang Xuan had used all of his means, but now that the Glacier Rain Sword had reached Half-Saint, he could easily deal with it!
"Teacher, you mean to … make a move?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan pick up the Glacier Rain Sword, Luo Qiqi was taken aback.
She only knew that the Glacier Rain Sword was beyond Spirit high-tier, but she didn't know its exact tier.
Even though her smithing skills had improved significantly, in terms of appraising, she was still far from being able to match up to Zhang Xuan.
"Un. I will deactivate the formation later on. You will attract its attention from the front, and I will launch a sneak attack from the back.
Let's try to kill it in a single strike, "Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Alright!" Hearing her teacher's instructions, Luo Qiqi nodded without any hesitation.
To be able to get her to forge a pill and successfully forge a weapon simultaneously, what else was there that her teacher couldn't do?
Zhang Xuan walked up to the Crimson Blaze Cauldron and stowed it away. At the same time, he flicked his wrist and took out a bow.
The previous one had been destroyed by the Otherworldly Demon puppet. While this one was similar in appearance, it was of a lower tier.
However, there was no other way around it. There was only one long-range Spirit weapon, so she could only use this to make up for it.
Seeing that Luo Qiqi was ready, Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath and leaped into the air.
After searching for a moment, he stopped at a certain location. Driving his zhenqi, he abruptly grabbed downward.
Wuuuuuuuuu!
Zhang Xuan picked up formation flags one after another from the ground, and under the illumination of the Night Illumination Pearl, the darkness in the hall gradually disappeared, revealing the silhouette of that huge fellow.
Roar!
Seeing it, the other party also saw Luo Qiqi, and with a furious roar, it charged toward her.
"Die!"
Luo Qiqi's eyebrows shot up. Not daring to stop, she fired a barrage of arrows.
Ding ding ding ding!
Due to the lack of prowess, the arrows were unable to stop the other party from advancing. In fact, they didn't even manage to pierce through the other party's skin.
Not expecting the prowess of the arrows to be so lacking, Luo Qiqi gritted her teeth and hurled her bow at the other party.
Kacha!
With a flick of its palm, the bow was sliced into two. At the same time, the puppet was already right before Luo Qiqi, and its iron fist whistled through the air.
If Luo Qiqi were to be struck, she would surely die on the spot.
Just as the fist was about to reach her, Luo Qiqi's eyebrows shot up, and she abruptly flicked her wrist.
Dang!
With a loud reverberation, the Crimson Blaze Cauldron which she had kept in her storage ring appeared before the puppet.
There was a hole on the cauldron that provided ventilation for the burning of coal. The puppet's fist happened to be stuck in the hole, and it was immobilized.
The Crimson Blaze Cauldron was an artifact left behind by Wu Yangzi when he was forging his weapon. Since even he was unable to destroy it, the puppet was naturally unable to do so as well.
"Teacher's method sure is effective!"
Seeing that it was effective, Luo Qiqi's eyes lit up.
She had thought that it would be difficult for her teacher to accomplish what he had told her previously, but who could have thought that she would be able to accomplish it so easily just by following his instructions?
She really had no idea how he was able to deduce it.
His thought process and experience were truly overpowered when utilized in battle.
Huala!
Just as Luo Qiqi was deep in thought, a cold glint suddenly flashed before her eyes. The puppet's body swayed, and its head fell off.
Unknowingly, her teacher had already appeared behind the other party, and with a single slash, he had severed its head.
"How sharp …"
Seeing how the Glacier Rain Sword sliced through the other party's head, Luo Qiqi's eyes widened in shock.
Even if she didn't possess Zhang Xuan's eye of discernment, she could tell that a Spirit high-tier sword that had been enhanced using a Cold Emerald Stone wasn't as simple as it seemed.
In fact, even a Spirit pinnacle sword wouldn't be able to do it so easily!
"Teacher, what tier has the Glacier Rain Sword reached?"
Luo Qiqi asked.
"Half-Saint!" Zhang Xuan had nothing to hide.
"Half-Saint?" Luo Qiqi's body swayed weakly.
Even a 6-star Weapon Forging Grandmaster might not be able to forge a weapon of this level just like that. Yet … she actually succeeded in doing so while she was unconscious?
"Alright, keep the items properly. Let's hurry up and leave!"
Seeing Luo Qiqi's eyes widen in disbelief, Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little perplexed. The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy seemed to boast a lot about itself, but why did all of the talented students he had met seem to be so naive?
Forging a weapon and tempering a cauldron … After going through such tempering, it was within reason for the Glacier Rain Sword to reach Half-Saint. What was there to be surprised about?
"Yes!"
Oblivious to Zhang Shi's doubts, Luo Qiqi suppressed the shock in her heart and stowed everything into her storage ring. After which, she turned around and passed a book over to Zhang Shi.
"Teacher, this is Wu Yangzi laoshi's physical body cultivation technique, Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body, a Spirit pinnacle cultivation technique …"
The reason why she was able to convince Zhang Xuan to follow her was because Wu Yangzi laoshi had a physical body cultivation technique.
"Un!" Zhang Xuan placed his finger on the book for a moment before retracting it. "You have inherited Elder Wu Yangzi's heritage, and this is his unique cultivation technique. I won't be taking it. After all, it is against the rules. Learn it well and try not to let him down!"
Without a master-disciple relationship, it was rare for a unique cultivation technique to be passed down to another.
Otherwise, it would be breaking the rules set by Mingshi Tang, and no one would be able to keep it a secret.
"This …"
Not expecting the other party to reject her due to the rules, Luo Qiqi's face reddened. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Others would surely want to keep such a valuable physical body cultivation technique for themselves, but her teacher actually rejected it …
His character and professional ethics were admirable and touching!
Miss Zhang, you will be my role model from now on. I will learn from you!
Luo Qiqi made a vow.
She was filled with admiration for Miss Zhang, and she vowed to learn from her teacher. At this moment, Zhang Xuan was looking at the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body manual in the Library of Heaven's Path with a bitter expression.
"78 flaws? The heck! Is this really a Spirit pinnacle physical body cultivation technique? Are you messing with me? How in the world am I supposed to cultivate such a lousy book as a treasure? "
