The door of the tower slowly opened. He Yiming's figure appeared outside the door without a sound. He turned around and bowed slightly. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he walked out of the palace.
All the guards had received the order in advance and turned a blind eye to He Yiming's departure. However, even if they wanted to stop him, they would not be able to do so.
A moment later, He Yiming had already left the palace. The person who appeared in the tower was Ting Minglie himself.
"Old Ancestor, is Master He willing to become the Fire Crow Kingdom's Guardian?" Ting Minglie asked hopefully.
In front of Ting Shiguang, he had never put on the airs of the Fire Crow Kingdom's King. In reality, if he had not obtained Ting Shiguang's permission, he might not have been able to become the Fire Crow Kingdom's King.
Ting Shiguang shook his head slightly and sighed, "We cannot afford to invite this person."
Ting Minglie's expression changed slightly, "Old Ancestor, Master He seems to be a Master who has just stepped into the Xiantian Realm. The secret manuals and treasures that our Fire Crow Kingdom has collected are innumerable. If we allow him to choose freely, we might be able to recruit him. "
Ting Shiguang looked at him coldly and said, "Minglie, I know what you are hoping for. However, you have to remember that this person's future achievements are far from what you can imagine. The only ones who can nurture this person are those super sects that are hidden from the world. The collection of our small Fire Crow Kingdom may not be able to enter this person's eyes. " He slowed his tone and said, "However, I have already tried to be on good terms with him. When we meet in the future, he should not be our Fire Crow Kingdom's enemy."
Only then did Ting Minglie completely give up. He sighed softly and could not say anything else.
However, Ting Shiguang sighed inwardly. Although steel magnets were rare, in the eyes of a Xiantian Master, it was not a particularly rare item. However, after knowing He Yiming's true age, he did not have the extravagant hope of inviting him to be the Fire Crow Kingdom's Guardian.
Therefore, the real treasure that he had planned to take out was changed to steel magnets at the last minute.
If this item was only exchanged for the friendship of a Xiantian Master, it was more than enough.
※ ※ ※
He Yiming left the palace and returned to the Xie family.
At this moment, Mu Yuan and Luo Xin had already left the Xie Residence, but they also left behind some precious gifts for the Xie Family to pass on.
When Hsieh Ming-chin took out all the gifts, even He Yiming was surprised.
Although the things they took out were not as exaggerated as the steel magnets, they were still extremely rare treasures. Some of them were things that even He Yiming himself had never heard of.
He hesitated for a while, then asked Hsieh Ming-chin about the relationship between these families.
In the end, he understood that even though the four great clans of the Fire Crow Kingdom competed with each other, they were also connected by marriage at the same time. It could be said that they were in each other, and it was a complete mess.
However, this wasn't strange. One only had to think about the current situation in Taicang County to understand.
Not to mention the clans that had thousands of years of history, even the clans that had only a hundred years of history had extraordinary connections.
The He Family and the Cheng Family in Taicang were just new in-laws, but the Cheng Family and the Xu Family were also in-laws. Although the relationship between these clans was tangled and complicated, and sometimes they would suppress each other, they would also help each other at certain times.
In short, the details were simply indescribable with words. He Yiming's thoughts weren't in it. He only understood a little and immediately avoided it like the plague.
Looking at the dazzling array of gifts piled up in the courtyard, He Yiming said straightforwardly, "Brother Xie, these things are not of much use to me, you can deal with them as you see fit."
Hsieh Ming-chin was slightly startled, and his brows furrowed slightly. He Yiming indeed had the right to do so, but he didn't dare to casually deal with them.
"Brother Xie, I've already been here for a few days, and I have to return home," He Yiming said in a deep voice, "I wonder when the long-armed raccoon's underwear will be finished?"
Hsieh Ming-chin was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Brother He, I've already ordered them to speed up, but it'll take at least ten days. However, you're leaving so soon? Could it be that you're dissatisfied with my family's hospitality? "
He Yiming waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I've already left home for a while, and now that I've even broken through to the Xiantian Realm, I naturally have to return home. I can't always wander outside, right?"
Hsieh Ming-chin nodded slightly. He originally wanted to ask where He Yiming lived, but when the words reached his mouth, he stopped abruptly. He could only change the topic and ask, "Brother He, do you have any plans after returning home?"
He Yiming thought for a while and said, "I don't have any special plans, but I'll rest for a while, and then maybe I'll travel outside to see if the world is really as exciting as it seems."
When he said this, He Yiming's eyes flashed with a glimmer of anticipation.
His conversation with Ting Shiguang had made him want to travel the world, and it was a rather strong one.
Hsieh Ming-chin sighed inwardly. He recalled his great-grandfather's words: He Yiming was indeed not a place that could bind him.
He Yiming suddenly felt something, and his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the door, then he laughed and said, "Brother He, I still remember the three-year agreement. At most, I'll be back here in three years, and I'll do my best to help great-grandfather break through to the Xiantian Realm."
Hsieh Ming-chin immediately took a step back and bowed deeply to him, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Brother He."
"Thank you, Grandmaster He."
At the same time, an aged voice came from outside the door. Hsieh Ming-chin hurriedly ran to open the door, and sure enough, Hsieh Chih-en was standing outside.
After welcoming the Xie family's old man in, the old man respectfully bowed and said, "Grandmaster He, this old man was outside just now. I heard that you're leaving soon?"
"Yes, I'll be returning home in about ten days," He Yiming said without hiding anything.
Hsieh Chih-en let out a long sigh and said, "If Grandmaster He wants to leave, we naturally won't dare to stop you. However, since Grandmaster He has agreed to protect this old man, this old man can't be indifferent. "He stretched out his hands and handed over a book that was several inches thick.
Seeing how serious he was, He Yiming immediately understood that the contents of the book were no small matter.
He also received it with both hands, but his eyes were looking at Hsieh Chih-en's aged face.
Hsieh Chih-en's expression was grave as he said, "Grandmaster He, in fact, in the Fire Crow Country, there are many families that can pass on for thousands of years. However, do you know why the Xie family has been able to stand tall and become one of the four great families?"
He Yiming was slightly startled and said, "Your family is famous in the Fire Crow Country because of the inheritance of medicinal pills. This should be the reason, right?"
Hsieh Chih-en stroked his beard with a smile and said, "This is one of the reasons, but the real reason is because our Xie family once had a Xiantian Master."
He Yiming's eyes widened slightly. His heart was moved, and he also looked at the book in his hand.
Hsieh Chih-en said emotionally, "The four great families of the Fire Crow Country all once had Xiantian Masters, and they all had glorious times. Two hundred years ago, when the Fire Crow Country was at its peak, the four great families had a total of three Country Protectors. However, it is a pity that within the Fire Crow Country, only the imperial family still has one Country Protector. "
He Yiming nodded slightly, but he didn't make any comments about this. He faintly understood the other party's expectations, but he definitely wouldn't become the Fire Crow Country's Country Protector.
Hsieh Chih-en's gaze landed on the book in He Yiming's hand and said, "Our Xie family is famous for refining medicinal pills, but most of the pills we refine are Houtian pills. If there is anything that is the most precious, it would undoubtedly be the notes left behind by the ancestor who entered the Xiantian realm. "
He Yiming took a deep breath and said, "Elder Xie, this book is the notes left behind by that ancestor, right?"
"That's right, this is the notes." Hsieh Chih-en smiled bitterly and said, "Logically speaking, this is the Xie family's most precious item, and it shouldn't be shown to an outsider. However, the things recorded inside are of no use to us. " He paused and said, "We are indebted to Grandmaster He for thinking highly of Ming Jin and being willing to humble himself to befriend him, so you are no longer an outsider. Moreover, you seem to have a certain interest in the way of alchemy, so our Xie family will give this copy to you in hopes that it will be of help to you."
He Yiming nodded heavily. He carefully wrapped up the book and put it away in his bosom.
However, he was well aware that although Hsieh Chih-en spoke of being dignified, he was actually giving such a precious gift in hopes that He Yiming would lend him a hand three years later.
"Old man, thank you for your kind intentions. I definitely won't forget about it." He Yiming solemnly promised, "After three years, no matter whether He has made any progress in alchemy or not, he will come back to consult you again."
Hsieh Chih-en's eyes lit up and a happy and sincere smile appeared on his face.
He Yiming suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "Brother Xie, do you know where I can find a stone furnace made of Wen Li Stone in Ying Feng City?"
"Wen Li Stone Furnace?" Hsieh Ming-chin asked in surprise, "Although Wen Li Stone is not a precious item, it is relatively rare to use it to make a stone furnace."
Wen Li Stone was a strange stone that was produced in various countries in the Northwest.
This stone had a strange effect, and that was its excellent thermal conductivity. Once it was heated, it would maintain a stable temperature for a long time.
Not only that, this stone was as white as jade and had a beautiful appearance. It was the best choice for those noble families to use as a stove in winter.
Hsieh Chih-en frowned. Although He Yiming's question was rather strange, this was a good opportunity to flatter him and rope him in. Even if the request was a hundred times stranger, they would still try their best to fulfill it.
"Grandmaster He, may I ask, what use do you have for a stone furnace made of Wen Li Stone?"
He Yiming did not hide it and said, "When I entered the palace just now, I met Grandmaster Ting Shiguang and he gave me a piece of fine steel magnet. Once this fine steel magnet is melted and integrated into my weapon, it can withstand the infusion of Xiantian zhenqi. "
Hsieh Ming-chin asked curiously, "What kind of metal is fine steel magnet? Can't you use an ordinary furnace to melt it? "
He Yiming shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. If the fine steel magnet is melted in an ordinary furnace, it will automatically seep into the furnace. This metal won't be integrated into Wen Li Stone, so it can only be forged with Wen Li Stone. " A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his face as he said, "Brother Xie, you can't be expecting me to use a furnace as a weapon, right?"
Hsieh Ming-chin blushed slightly and said, "Of course not, but …" He hesitated and said, "Brother Xie, even if there is a furnace made of Wen Li Stone, I'm afraid it might not be suitable for your weapon's length."
Hsieh Chih-en interrupted, "Grandmaster He, your weapon is …?"
In the Xie Residence, other than Xie Nuanyi and his son, no one else had seen the terrifying large glaive, so Hsieh Chih-en could not help but be curious when he heard that.
Hsieh Ming-chin immediately said, "Great-grandfather, please wait for a moment. Brother Xie, can you let Great-grandfather have a look at your glaive? "
Although the glaive was divided into three sections, each section was more than a meter long and was extremely heavy. It was not suitable to carry it around at all times, so He Yiming kept it in his bedroom.
He Yiming could not help but laugh when he heard Hsieh Ming-chin's question. "Of course."
He stood up and walked to the door. In the blink of an eye, he had left the room. This movement seemed natural and did not give people the slightest feeling of abruptness. It was as if there was such a long distance between his legs once he took a step.
Hsieh Ming-chin could not tell how difficult that step was, but Hsieh Chih-en knew it very well. He sighed deeply, and his heart was filled with envy.
The Xiantian Realm was different from the rest. It was not only reflected in battles, but even in daily life, it was difficult for others to catch up to it.
Even if it was Xie Zhien himself, he would not be able to do it so easily and freely.
After a while, He Yiming returned. When he took out the glaive, even with Hsieh Chih-en's knowledge, he could not help but widen his eyes.
He laughed awkwardly and said, "Great Master He, this is your weapon?"
"That's right." He Yiming assembled the glaive and carefully placed it on the table. If he held the glaive upright, it would definitely pierce a huge hole in the roof.
Hsieh Chih-en finally understood what Hsieh Ming-chin meant. It was impossible to find a Wen Li stone furnace that could fit the glaive.
However, the old man only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Great Master He, the stone furnace problem is not difficult to solve. Your glaive can be split into three parts, and our Xie Estate does not lack stone beds made of Wen Li stone. Give us five days and we will definitely be able to create a suitable stone furnace. However … "He looked at He Yiming and said," Your weapon is different from the rest. The materials used will probably be several times more than normal weapons. "
He Yiming nodded slightly. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. As expected, this old man could see the problem that he could not solve with a glance.
He Yiming took out the steel magnet that Ting Shiguang had given him and said, "Although there is not much of this magnet, it is more than enough to make a glaive. If Old Master can solve the stone furnace problem, He Yiming will start to make the glaive. "
Hsieh Chih-en immediately patted his chest and promised. At the same time, he also promised to let the rest of the Xie Estate pay attention to whether they could find other steel magnets so that He Yiming could refine the glaive.
However, He Yiming did not take this promise to heart.
If steel magnets were so easy to obtain, Ting Shiguang would not have placed so much importance on it. To find such a treasure in the hands of an ordinary person was basically something that could only be found by chance.
As for the promise to He Yiming, everyone in the Xie family treated it as a top priority.
That afternoon, the most famous stonemason in Ying Feng City was invited by the Xie Estate. They did not invite one person, but more than ten people. Three of them were working for the Mu family.
However, after the Mu family heard the Xie family's explanation, they immediately let them go without saying anything. It was impossible for them to offend a Xiantian Master over such a small matter.
More than ten top stonemasons used only four days to create a stone furnace that was more than two meters long. Moreover, this stone furnace was different from the rest. It was not erected but laid horizontally on the ground. Moreover, there were a total of twelve legs below it. No matter from which angle, it was definitely a giant.
He Yiming was very satisfied with this object. Once it was created, he did not hesitate to ask the Xie family to refine it for him.
The fist-sized steel magnets were placed into the stone furnace and burned below it.
Half a day later, the steel magnets had completely melted into liquid.
Not only was the Wen Li stone excellent in heat transfer, but more importantly, its melting point was also extremely high. Under normal circumstances, it was basically impossible for it to turn into liquid.
He Yiming put the first part of the glaive into the liquid. Sure enough, a strange thing happened. The liquid seemed to have a life of its own. It actually took the initiative to seep into the glaive. According to He Yiming's observation, the distribution of the liquid was very uniform.
Such a strange thing, if he did not see it with his own eyes, he would not believe it at all.
An hour later, the liquid in the stone furnace was completely gone. When He Yiming took out the glaive in his hand, there was a faint trace of strange light on the glaive.
After the glaive cooled down, He Yiming held it in his hand again. He seemed to feel that the glaive contained a different kind of power. This made him click his tongue in wonder.
However, at this time, there were many outsiders. He Yiming forcibly suppressed the idea of testing the glaive and put it back into the scabbard.
A few days later, under the supervision of Hsieh Ming-chin and the others, the underwear of the long-armed raccoon was successfully made. He Yiming said goodbye to everyone.
