The four of them did not dare to make a move.
They were afraid the old man would suddenly attack and kill them.
Lu Zhou turned around and descended like a feather.
When the four dukes saw the old man descending, they could not help but stagger. They were drenched in cold sweat.
The four of them took a deep breath to calm themselves before they descended as well.
Perhaps, they had been in the flying chariot for too long. When they landed, they felt their heads were heavy and their feet were light. They felt unsteady.
Even if they were big shots from the capital, they would still be worshipped no matter where they went. However, the situation was reversed today. Nobody paid attention to them. They were all looking at Lu Zhou in awe.
Lu Zhou landed steadily on the ground.
He turned around and looked at the Sky Research Yard lunatics who were still petrified on the building opposite the Holy Rites Temple.
"What are you waiting for?"
After a brief moment of silence …
The lunatics finally realized Lu Zhou was talking to them.
'Uh …'
The bald man was startled. He felt as though his brain was cramping. He forgot that he was a cultivator as well. He forgot how to circulate his Primal Qi as he tumbled down from above.
"Ouch!"
When the others regained their senses, they landed.
Many of the tiles were shattered.
"Senior." Duke Yun, Zheng Qiang, one of the four dukes, was about to speak when Lu Zhou glanced at him.
He said in a deep voice, "Who gave you permission to speak?"
Zheng Qiang was shocked. He hastily lowered his body and tactfully took two steps back. He even swallowed his words of apology and begging for mercy.
The cultivation world had always been cruel.
No matter how high one's status was, being here did not mean that one was one step ahead of the others.
The other three dukes rejoiced.
They looked at Zheng Qiang meaningfully as though they were thanking him for taking the risk for them.
The temper of the boss was unpredictable. It was best not to provoke him.
Hence, the four dukes stood obediently at the side like palace maids. They did not even dare to look around. They could only observe from the corner of their eyes.
It would have been fine if he hadn't taken a look, but the moment he did, he was even more shocked.
Lu Tianning pointed at Wang Shizhong who was kneeling nearby. Then, he gave Wang Yun a meaningful look.
When Wang Yun saw his son and granddaughter kneeling on the ground without any dignity, he found it difficult to breathe. He wanted to do something, but he could not do anything. Wang Yun had long known that his son and granddaughter were trapped in the Cloud Mountain. During this time, the court had been patiently waiting for an opportunity to rescue the Emperor and the head of the secretariat, Wang Shizhong. He didn't get the chance, but this was the result he got. All sorts of emotions welled up in his heart.
Wang Shizhong hurriedly winked at his father.
It was already good enough that he was able to stay alive. What else was there to think about?
…
Lu Zhou looked at the lunatics from the Sky Research Court. When he saw that they were unmoved, he said, "You're not going to talk?"
The man with the crooked head instantly put on a flattering smile and said,
"S-Senior … I-I'm indeed the Heaven Research Institute's geniuses!"
Everyone was in disbelief.
Everyone present had heard of the Sky Research Courtyard.
However, the group of people in front of him could hardly be associated with geniuses. They were more like a bunch of "ugly melons and rotten dates".
Hunchbacked, blind and bald …
Also, old and new scars.
"What's your name?" Lu Zhou looked at the bald man.
"Hehe … I, I am He Zhong …"
Tilting his head, he replied, "Senior, my name is Huang Yu. I specialize in array formations and Dao patterns, haha …" As he spoke, he suddenly bowed and said with a fawning expression, "Senior, can I take another look at the Thousand Realms Whirling?"
It was over.
The four dukes suddenly raised their heads and looked at the group of ugly people.
Geniuses were indeed geniuses, but unfortunately, they were too straightforward.
Is the avatar of a big shot something you can look at just because you want to?
He was really courting death.
However, to their surprise, Lu Zhou's expression remained calm. Instead, he said amiably, "Sure, but you'll have to listen to me."
"Hahaha … Good, good, good …" Huang Yu nodded repeatedly and was overjoyed.
The one-eyed skinny man licked his lips and squinted. "S-S-Senior … I-I'm Wang Dachui. I'm good at forging …"
"Blacksmithing?" Lu Zhou looked at him and studied him for a moment.
It was hard to imagine what kind of difficult days they had spent in the underground prison.
For them, life and death were nothing to them.
When Lu Zhou displayed the Thousand Realms Whirling before them, they were shocked and amazed. At the same time, they admired it but did not fear it.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, "Longevity Sword."
Yu Shangrong did not think too much about it. He respectfully placed the Longevity Sword in his master's palm.
Zing!
The broken sword was unsheathed.
It hovered in front of Wang Dachui and asked, "Can you repair it?"
Wang Dachui's eyes brightened. He seemed to have recovered from his stuttering as he said smoothly, "Good sword! What a good sword! This sword is filled with sharpness. It's clear that it's a peerless sword that has killed many. Its owner must be an elite swordsman! "
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. "It's not worth mentioning."
Wang Dachui glanced at Yu Shangrong and asked, "Your sword?"
"Yes."
"The compatibility of this sword is perfect. Whether it's the quality or the standard of forging, it's one of the best in the world. However … "Wang Dachui paused for a moment before he continued," The killing intent on the sword is too strong. It's indeed a good sword, but it can only be used in the heaven-grade competition. What a shame … "Wang Dachui expressed his opinion.
Yu Shangrong. "…"
The Longevity Sword was his second life. Insulting the Longevity Sword was equivalent to insulting him. But on second thought, Wang Dachui was telling the truth. The truth … how could he refute it?
Lu Zhou said,
"I'm asking if it can be repaired, not your evaluation."
Wang Dachui scratched his head and revealed a more confident expression than before. He smiled and said, "If even I can't repair it, then no one in the world can repair it … It's just a Heaven-class weapon, it's nothing!"
"What do you need?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Three Violet Flame Stones. It would be best if it's a Desolate-Grade furnace or above. And … my hammer. It has to be my hammer. It won't work with anyone else. As for the rest … there was no need. The material of this sword was extremely rare. It had to be melted at a high temperature and then reforged. People only knew that materials were rare, but they did not know that the true essence of forging lay in the word "hammering". This hammering is particular about the fusion of strength. There are forty-nine types … the first type … "
"That's enough." Lu Zhou interrupted him. "How about the Fire Spirit Rock?"
"There is a Fire Spirit Rock? You should've told me earlier. The Violet Flame Stone can only be maintained at the same level. The Fire Spirit Rock is much better than the Violet Flame Stone. It can't perfectly reforge the sword, but if you're lucky, the grade of the sword can be improved. There are many grades of forging materials as well. However, there are more than 20 types of Spirit Stones used in forging. The first type … "
The others. "…"
Lu Zhou said again, "Since you can repair this sword, I'll give it to you. If you can repair it, I won't mistreat you."
Wang Dachui scratched his head. "I can repair it, but you'll have to give me the materials! Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice! "
Lu Zhou produced a Fire Spirit Rock and tossed it over.
He hastily produced a Fire Spirit Rock and tossed it over as well.
He was one short.
The Sky Martial Court's Old Qiu He said tactfully, "The Sky Martial Court has a few Fire Spirit Rocks. The forging hammers and furnaces are all in the library."
"Alright."
Lu Zhou glanced at Qiu He. Then, he looked at Huang Yu and asked, "Do you know how to inscribe Formations?"
"If I don't, nobody under the heavens will," Huang Yu said.
"The Longevity Sword is a good sword. How can it be lacking runes? I'll give you the runes on the sword. Are you willing? "Lu Zhou asked.
Huang Yu did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked up at Lu Zhou and asked, "Freedom?"
"I'll grant you freedom."
Huang Yu looked around and said helplessly, "It's useless for you to grant me freedom. The others …"
Lu Zhou did not look at the people around him. He stroked his beard and said calmly, "Who's going to object?"
