Yu Mufei carefully walked with light steps. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the bald elder.
The elder turned his head slightly and looked at him with a gaze that seemed to have seen through everything, causing Yu Mufei's heart to palpitate.
"Mufei, why are you here? Is there something that you can't decide?" The elder asked softly, "Is it related to He Yiming?"
Yu Mu Fei bowed respectfully. He was full of admiration for the old man's ability.
"Third Uncle, this matter is indeed closely related to He Yiming." Yu Mufei considered for a moment and said, "I just found out that Chu Haozhou is actually an Advanced Blacksmith."
"What did you say?" The elder's calm face finally showed a trace of fluctuation. "An Advanced Blacksmith can smith an Advanced Divine Soldier?"
Yu Mufei recounted everything that had happened at the trade fair and finally added, "In front of so many people, Chu Haozhou probably won't lie. Otherwise, 3 years later, when he can't explain to Deng Yichen, his lifelong reputation will be ruined. Besides, I stole a glance at He Yiming, and his face was indifferent. It's clear that he already knew about this. "
The elder's face became more unsightly. He snorted and said, "Mufei, didn't you travel with this person back then? How could you not even know that he's a blacksmith?"
Yu Mufei's face instantly turned red. Ever since he became a Venerable One, no one dared to scold him like this. Even during normal times, when the elder spoke to him, he would be amiable. That said, this matter was indeed very important. He knew very well what a Venerable One blacksmith or alchemist could do for a sect, especially a big sect.
Yu Mufei smiled bitterly and mumbled, "Third Uncle, back then, I traveled with Chu Haozhou for several years, but we could barely be considered friends. We couldn't even be considered close friends, so it's natural for him to hide some things from me."
The elder snorted and said, "Chu Haozhou actually wants to go to the He Clan Village in the northwest? What kind of place is that? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
Yu Mu Fei thought to himself. Even He Yiming's rise was only a matter of a few years. Of course, we don't know where the He Clan Manor is located.
Yu Mufei hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "Third Uncle, should we report this matter to the Old Ancestor and let him decide?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "That won't do. Eldest Uncle is currently in seclusion and is at a critical juncture. Unless our Yu family is in a life or death situation, we can't disturb Eldest Uncle for the next few decades."
Yu Mufei sighed inwardly. However, he didn't dare disobey the old man in the slightest.
The old man saw through Yu Mufei's unwillingness and snorted: "You silly brat, if uncle succeeds, then our Yu family will truly step into the ranks of the number one clan in the world. Only then could they truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the Grand Divine Wind Palace, the Blessed Enclave and the Yellow Spring Sect. If uncle fails, then our Yu family will still have to submit to those three clans. Even if we have the title of a member of the imperial family, in the end, we will still be at the mercy of others. At that time, no matter how many high-ranking Divine Soldier weapons you have, it will only be a wedding dress for others. You will even bring trouble to yourself and regret it. "
Yu Mufei's back was immediately covered in cold sweat. He bowed deeply and said, "Third Uncle, you are right. I have learned my lesson."
The old man sighed and said, "You are already one of the pillars of our family. In the future, you should think about the consequences of your actions." He looked in a certain direction and said, "However, since Chu Haozhou is a high-ranking trainer, if we don't fight for him, we won't be satisfied."
Yu Mufei's eyes lit up and said, "Third Uncle is right."
The old man pondered and murmured, "If he doesn't want to join our Yu family, then no one can change his mind. If he is willing to join, it will be worth it even if we have to move out half of our treasures. "
Yu Mufei was shocked. Only then did he know that Chu Haozhou had such an important position in the old man's heart.
As if he was talking to himself, the old man suddenly asked, "Do you know the master of Southern Border's Liuli Cave?"
Yu Mufei gasped. It seemed that just mentioning this person's name was enough to make people shudder.
The old man seemed to be unaware and said, "The master of Liuli Cave himself is a top blacksmith. When he set foot on the peak back then, he once said that blacksmiths who can advance to the Five Qis Unification are far more likely to stand at the peak than others."
Yu Mufei opened his mouth in surprise. At this moment, his jealousy and envy for Chu Haozhou reached the extreme.
But soon, he sighed because he knew that unless he had some heaven-defying adventure, he would never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Haozhou in this life.
※ ※ ※
While Yu Mufei was talking to the old man, He Yiming and Chu Haozhou also returned to their residence.
Seeing He Yiming's angry look, Chu Haozhou could not help but laugh. "Younger Brother He, based on our friendship, don't you trust me?"
He Yiming did not treat him as an outsider. Instead, he rolled his eyes at him as usual and said, "Elder Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm angry at Yu Mufei. He actually tried to poach my people in front of me. Tell me, is he still a respected senior?"
Chu Haozhou laughed and said, "Younger Brother, this is the reality. When there is no conflict of interest, they do spare no effort to please the Venerable Ones, but if there is a crucial conflict, they will be merciless. You can't stand it now, but you'll get used to it in the future. "
He Yiming was slightly startled. When he recalled the silent performance of everyone in the main hall today, he could not help but believe it a little.
Perhaps, this was the true expression of human nature.
A moment later, He Yiming let out a long sigh, took out the box from his arms, and said, "Elder Brother, this is the Colored Spirit Silk you wanted."
Chu Haozhou shook his head slightly. "This is not for me, it's for you."
He Yiming was surprised. He took a closer look at the wooden box, opened it, and the magical silk thread was once again exposed in front of them.
"Elder Brother, why are you giving this to me?"
Chu Haozhou smiled. "Do you know what the Colored Spirit Silk is?"
He Yiming shook his head without hesitation. "I'm ignorant, I've never heard of it."
Chu Haozhou was taken aback, then smiled. "You're too young, it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Ever since Chu Haozhou found out He Yiming's real age, his attitude toward him changed a little. He also understood why He Yiming did not know much about the world's rare treasures.
Gently taking the wooden box, Chu Haozhou said solemnly, "The Colored Spirit Silk is one of the few special treasures in the world that can convert different power systems."
He Yiming was slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "It can convert power systems?"
Chu Haozhou nodded seriously. "If it didn't have such a nature-defying characteristic, how could it be valued so much?"
Countless thoughts flashed through He Yiming's mind. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Elder Brother, are you thinking of using it on the Five-element Ring?"
Chu Haozhou laughed. "Younger Brother, you're right. It's just right to use it on the Five-element Ring."
He Yiming had a strange look on his face. "But the Five-element Ring itself has the magical effect of converting power. Wouldn't it be a waste to use it?"
Chu Haozhou shook his head repeatedly. "The Colored Spirit Silk is a natural wonder. If the Five-element Ring in your hand is a real divine artifact, it'll be a waste to use the Colored Spirit Silk. However, the one in your hand is only a replica of a divine artifact, and its power is greatly improved. If you use the Colored Spirit Silk, it'll be of great benefit to the Five-element Ring as a whole. "
At this point, a gleam flashed through his eyes as he continued, "If the Colored Spirit Silk is combined with the inner core of a top-notch wood-attribute saint beast, in addition to the characteristics of the Five-element Ring, hehe, you might be able to reach the Five Elements Perfection in advance."
He Yiming's eyes finally lit up. He stared at Chu Haozhou and asked, "Elder Brother, do you have any good suggestions?"
Chu Haozhou said seriously, "Now that you've refined the flowers of the four elements, you're only missing one element. However, you have the Five-element Ring, the Colored Spirit Silk, and the wood-attribute saint beast Neidan in your hand. With these conditions added together, it's enough to form a replacement Wood Flower in the Five-element Ring. Hehe … When you're facing an enemy, as long as you infuse your essential Qi into the Five-element Ring and release the flowers of the four elements, you'll be able to attract the replacement Wood Flower in the Five-element Ring. At that time, it'll be the true unification of the five elements. Although it won't be comparable to a divine artifact, it'll be enough to sweep through everything in the Venerable Stage. "
He Yiming was excited. He had long been looking forward to the unification of the five elements.
However, the difficulty of condensing the five flowers was far beyond his expectations. The first and second flowers were still manageable, but the later ones seemed to be getting more and more difficult. Although he was only one flower away from reaching the Great Perfection Realm, he still needed to condense the first and second flowers. Even he wasn't sure if he could complete this step in a few years.
Seeing that He Yiming was moved, Chu Haozhou smiled and said, "Brother, in fact, there's no harm in doing this. When you come into contact with the replacement Wood Flower, you'll be able to sense the transformation of power in it. It'll also be quite beneficial for you to condense the real Wood Flower."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows and was finally convinced. He said, "Brother, in that case, you make the decision. I'll do my best to cooperate."
Chu Haozhou laughed loudly and said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to the Yu family to borrow the refining room. With these materials in hand, I'll successfully advance to the Five Qis Unification. I guarantee you'll succeed in three days at most." He stroked his short beard and said excitedly, "Big Brother, I also want to see how powerful the legendary Five Elements Fusion Technique from ten thousand years ago is."
※ ※ ※ ※
He Yiming's request to borrow the refining room from the Great Shen Dynasty's royal family was approved without any difficulties.
When Chu Haozhou and He Yiming entered the refining room together, not only did the Yu family pay attention to it, but even the rest of the people waited quietly with the same thoughts.
They all knew that the reason why these two people chose to refine weapons at this time was definitely because they wanted to use the newly obtained Colored Spirit Silk. However, whether or not they could successfully integrate the Colored Spirit Silk into the divine weapon was quite a test of their skills.
If Chu Haozhou could really do this in a short time, then he would be a genuine Advanced Blacksmith.
The refining room arranged by the Yu family was a stone house that was hundreds of square meters in size.
In this house, there was only one most attractive thing, and that was a stone pond that was more than ten meters long and wide in the middle of the house.
He Yiming looked left and right for a while and asked, "What's this?"
Chu Haozhou sighed and answered, "This is the most advanced refining pond, and it's also a necessary smithing item that most blacksmiths dream of."
He Yiming looked at the large refining pond in a daze. He really could not think of what kind of weapon would need such a large pond to contain it.
After some time, He Yiming asked, "Brother, do you need this pond?"
Chu Haozhou could not help but laugh. "Blacksmiths above Venerable One don't need a pond anymore."
Seeing his confident look, a thought suddenly flashed through He Yiming's mind. He said, "I understand. Elder brother is directly using the power of fire to train."
Chu Haozhou laughed out loud and said, "Brother, you're right. How did you know?"
He Yiming chuckled and responded, "Brother, have you forgotten that I'm a Venerable One alchemist?"
Chu Haozhou came to a sudden realization. "I see." He paused for a moment before he continued, "Brother, although the path of alchemy and the path of equipment refinement are different, there are actually connections between them. If you're interested, you might as well learn the path of equipment refinement as well."
He Yiming laughed bitterly repeatedly and said, "Big Brother, no matter if it's the Dao of Pill Refinement or the Dao of Cultivation, both require spending an enormous amount of time to temper. How could I have the time to study other Dao Arts?"
Chu Haozhou shook his head and responded, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have let them learn the path of smithing at the same time. However, you're different … "He looked at He Yiming with a hint of something else in his eyes." You're only 21 years old now. Not only have you become a Venerable One, but you've also cultivated the path of alchemy, and your results are remarkable. Given your age, it doesn't seem to be too much for you to cultivate several paths at the same time. "
He Yiming was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Haozhou gently patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm only making a suggestion, so you'll have to decide on your own. Besides, I still don't know if you have the talent for smithing, so let's talk about this in the future. "
He Yiming nodded helplessly, but he had to admit that he was indeed tempted.
"Take out the Five-element Ring," Chu Haozhou ordered in a deep voice.
He Yiming immediately curbed his thoughts. Under the circumstances, he dared not be distracted at all.
As he shook his wrist, mists surged, and the Five-element Ring successfully appeared in his hand.
Chu Haozhou sized up the imitation artifact for some time and said, "Colored Spirit Silk, a wood-series Neidan."
He Yiming dared not delay, so he quickly took out the things that he had prepared beforehand.
Once Chu Haozhou took the 2 items, he was filled with a strong sense of solemnity.
At this moment, his face was filled with a holy color as if he had suddenly become a different person.
He Yiming's heart trembled. He vaguely felt that the reason Chu Haozhou could achieve such a great achievement in smithing was related to his own cultivation base, but it was more because he had deep feelings for the path of smithing.
Just like the Medicine Man, Fan Shuo, Hao Dong, and the others, the reason they could achieve considerable success in alchemy was also closely related to their love for the path.
If they did not truly love this path and were unwilling to give it up under any circumstances, perhaps they could also become Innate Powerhouses or Venerable Ones. However, they would definitely not have the lofty status of an extraordinary alchemist as they did now.
"Younger Brother, condense the fire power and let the Five-element Ring be evenly heated." Chu Haozhou's voice was heard.
He Yiming was stunned. He thought, 'You're the one refining the tool, so why do you want me to use the fire power?'
He was curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask in such a dignified atmosphere.
Fortunately, Chu Haozhou's request was not difficult. He slightly raised his essential Qi, and the powerful fire flower immediately boiled. In just a breath, the powerful fire power had surged into the Five-element Ring.
If He Yiming wanted to do this before the Five-element Ring was turned into a mist, it would be impossible.
Once the pure power of the five elements surged into the Five-element Ring, it would be automatically removed by the Five-element Rotation without leaving a trace.
Now, the Five-element Ring had become one with He Yiming. Under his control, a powerful power instantly filled the space of the Five-element Ring, and the temperature slowly increased.
The muscles on Chu Haozhou's face squirmed slightly. He looked quite nervous as if he was calculating something.
Seeing how focused he was, He Yiming didn't dare to ask any more questions.
If he interrupted at this moment and caused the training to fail, God knows if Chu Haozhou would go crazy in anger.
Chu Haozhou's hands suddenly moved. With a flick of his wrist, the Colorful Spirit Silk on the ground suddenly flew up and formed a line in his hands like the most obedient child.
His hands flipped as if they were flying, and the Colorful Spirit Threads suddenly broke apart. Under the stimulation of Essential Qi, the first section seemed to have come to life. It flew above the Five Element Ring and was instantly absorbed by the rotating Five Element Ring.
Afterward, Chu Haozhou kept moving. Sections of Colorful Spirit Silk rose into the air, clinging to the Five-element Ring, and then immediately disappeared inexplicably.
He Yiming's eyebrows trembled slightly. Chu Haozhou's series of movements were not complicated, but there was a special and mysterious feeling as if he had integrated into the world.
Not only his movements, but even his whole person seemed to have integrated into the world at this moment.
He Yiming silently watched his movements. His spirit was constantly rising uncontrollably, and his eyes flashed with joy.
He was like a martial arts fanatic who had suddenly seen a combat skill that he had been dreaming of. He was like a glutton who had seen his favorite dish. He was like a whore who had met a rich, generous, and powerful gigolo.
At this moment, He Yiming watched Chu Haozhou's movements. His body and mind seemed to have entered a magical realm.
He had already seen that Chu Haozhou did not randomly insert the Colorful Spirit Silk into the Five-element Ring. Instead, he inserted the Colorful Spirit Silk into the appropriate position as the Five-element Ring rotated.
If it was a Divine Soldier Weapon, He Yiming might not be able to find the pattern. However, the Five-element Ring had been atomized by him. No one in this world could understand the Five-element Ring better than him.
Therefore, after a while, he had already found the pattern of Chu Haozhou's actions.
The Colorful Spirit Silk came to every energy conversion point in the Five-element Ring. After adding the Colorful Spirit Silk to these conversion points, the unique Five-element conversion power of the Five-element Ring seemed to have suddenly increased by several times. The degree of change in this power was so great that even He Yiming himself was a little dumbfounded and frightened.
However, he immediately understood the reason behind it. If he wanted to use the Wood Holy Beast Neidan to form a replacement Wood Flower in the Five-element Ring, then he must have such smooth conversion conditions.
This was the biggest guarantee to constitute a replacement for the Wood Flower. If not, this idea would only be an illusion and not worth mentioning.
Absent-Mindedly, He Yiming's lips curled into a smile. Through his own observation, he had discovered the most important mystery. His heart was once again filled with intense joy. Unknowingly, he reached out a hand, then the Colorful Spirit Silk that was floating in mid-air flew into his palm.
Chu Haozhou's eyes focused slightly. He did not stop moving, but he could not help but be a little distracted. When he realized that He Yiming had also reached out to absorb a section of the Colorful Spirit Silk, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
What he said to He Yiming just now was not a whim. After knowing He Yiming's real age, he only said it after careful consideration.
Based on He Yiming's cultivation base in martial arts at the moment, coupled with his age, as long as he had a little talent in smithing, his future achievements would not be too low.
Even if he could not reach Chu Haozhou's current height, he would still be far superior to ordinary blacksmiths.
Having said that, one could only smith to this extent after a long time of exploration and trial. At this time, even Chu Haozhou did not think that He Yiming would be able to successfully integrate the Colorful Spirit Silk into every key point of the Five-element Ring.
He sighed and was about to stop He Yiming. Who knew, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
He Yiming actually moved. He actually made a move before Chu Haozhou exited.
The Colorful Spirit Silk, which was flickering with colorful lights, gently stuck to the next conversion point and integrated in a more comfortable and elegant manner.
At this moment, Chu Haozhou also felt a kind of unity between man and nature.
Nonetheless, the state did not appear on him, but on the 21-year-old Venerable One in front of him, who was smithing for the first time.
Chu Haozhou's movements subconsciously stopped. He watched as He Yiming took over his work and completed it meticulously as if it was made by nature.
At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
This guy, how did he do it … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
