Chapter 59

Three days later, Zhan Chen finally appeared on the fixed liner to the Flaming Meteorite Island. He was in a good mood as he looked at the boundless ocean.

Thinking back to three days ago, he hurriedly rushed down from Mount Mei and came to the dock. He asked around and found that this month's fixed liner happened to be two days later. He couldn't help but feel lucky.

In this way, he had more time to go back. Maybe he could go to the Flaming Meteorite Island. At present, the most urgent thing for him was not only to return to the sect but also to buy a suitable sword.

"Now, my strength has reached 4,000 kilograms. I should be able to use the Gold Feather Sword. Of course, it would be better if there is a better sword on the Flaming Meteorite Island." Zhan Chen thought silently.

After enjoying the sea breeze outside for a while, he returned to his own training room and began to cultivate in seclusion. There were also private rooms on the liner that were filled with Spiritual Qi, but they were expensive. One had to pay a hundred taels of silver a day to rent them. This was of course nothing to Zhan Chen, who was already considered wealthy.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than 10 days had passed. During this period, the liner also stopped at three small islands along the route and took a group of passengers on board. However, Zhan Chen didn't get off the ship again. Instead, he was immersed in his own world of cultivation.

Until a message was sent from the practice room, "Attention, passengers. The ship has arrived at the Flaming Meteorite Island."

Zhan Chen exited from the state of cultivation and walked out of the cabin. Looking forward, a huge island appeared in front of him. He suddenly became excited. "Arriving at the Flaming Meteorite Island, it's not far from the Jin Tai Port!"

So he hurriedly got off the ship and grabbed a passerby nearby and asked, "Excuse me, brother, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"I want to know which ship I should take to the Jin Tai Port."

"There is a ship to the Jin Tai Port every half a month. However, you came at a bad time. The last ship has just left."

Zhan Chen was a little depressed. Did I miss this opportunity? This was really too bad.

"You have to wait for another half a month. However, the liners are very easy to recognize. They are the kind of multi-story ships with dragon carvings on the ship. They will wait for a day at the port. You have to pay more attention."

"Thank you."

After saying goodbye to the man, Zhan Chen rented a room in the hotel next to the port so that he wouldn't miss the next ship.

After all the procedures were done, he was in the mood to observe the Flaming Meteorite Island. The island was very large, almost three times the size of Meishan Island. The most prominent place was a tall mountain in the center of the island, but it was essentially different from Mei Shan Island. According to the residents on the island, it was an extinct volcano with a history of hundreds of thousands of years. It was said that the entire Flaming Meteorite Island was formed by its eruption.

Until now, the Earth's crust was still active under the Flaming Meteorite Island, which provided the island with sufficient geothermal energy. The island was famous for its hot springs, which provided a convenient place for warriors to rest and sightsee. Every year, many warriors would choose to come here to soak in the hot springs because they could relax their meridians and strengthen their bodies.

Zhan Chen came to the streets of the island. There were houses everywhere, merchants and tourists gathered, and it was very lively. Zhan Chen thought, There are still more than ten days. It is enough for me to find a good sword here. There are so many people here. I should find a place to ask around first.

Thus, he wandered on the street. There were many pedestrians coming and going. Some low-level Martial Cultivators were soliciting customers along the way, acting as guides for the passers-by.

As a matter of fact, Zhan Chen was about to encounter it. The one who pulled him back was a little kid who was only eleven or twelve years old. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and his cultivation was only at the second level of the Martial Disciple realm. However, he had a pair of big, bright eyes that were still rolling around.

He asked in his childish voice, "Senior, do you need a guide?"

Zhan Chen looked at his hungry and cold appearance. He couldn't help but think of his childhood. Pity flashed in his eyes and he said, "I need a guide. You're the one!"

The little boy's eyes flashed with joy and he replied, "Okay!"

"First, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Si."

"Zhang Si? What a strange name. "

"Because my mother gave birth to six children, and I'm the fourth."

"Is that so?"

It seemed that this was a poor family with a bitter life. Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

"This is the advance payment for you. If you can satisfy me, I will reward you with more money." As Zhan Chen spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his storage bag. There were more than 100 taels of silver.

When the little boy saw the silver ingot, his eyes bloomed with endless joy. 100 taels of silver was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family. Thus, he hurriedly put the silver in his pocket and said happily, "Senior, wherever you need to go, I will take you!"

Zhan Chen smiled and said, "I want to buy a sword. A sword used by martial artists. Do you know where I can find one?"

Flaming Meteorite Island was too big. It would be much more convenient to have such a guide.

"There is a market on Flaming Meteorite Island."

"Oh! There is actually a market! " Zhan Chen was pleasantly surprised. If there was a market, then it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a good sword. Thus, he hurriedly said, "Then quickly take me there!"

"Alright."

Thus, Zhan Chen shuttled through the streets under Xiao Si's guidance. It didn't take long before they found it.

Zhan Chen looked at the crisscrossing streets and was at a loss for a moment. The market on Flaming Meteorite Island was many times bigger than the one he saw in Shannan Town!

Zhang Si looked at the market and proudly showed off, "Senior, this must be your first time here. Our market on Flaming Meteorite Island is very famous nearby. Not only do martial artists from the North Sea Islands often come here, but even martial artists from the North Sea Continent often come here. "

Zhan Chen nodded and happily entered. Then, Zhang Si led him into the weapon shops to look around.

He had to admit that there were too many weapon shops on Flaming Meteorite Island. There was more than one as large as the Sharp Sword Pavilion. Zhan Chen strolled through them one by one and memorized the styles of the swords.

However, the most powerful of these swords matched the level of the Golden Feather Sword. The highest effect was to increase the attack power of the Vital Qi by nearly 50%.

After looking at so many swords, Zhan Chen gradually had a question in his mind. Why was the limit of these swords increasing the Vital Qi by 50%? Couldn't it be increased by another level? There should be more powerful swords.

Thus, he asked the receptionist of a large Forging Sword Pavilion, "May I ask if there is a better sword suitable for martial artists?"

The receptionist hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "The swords of our weapon shop are the best. What else is there to hesitate about?"

However, Zhan Chen saw some clues from his concealed expression, so he tried to say, "You're wrong. Is the increase of 50% the limit? As far as I know, there should be more powerful swords! "

The receptionist secretly glanced at him and said, "You've come to the right place. Perhaps other places can't forge good swords, but Flaming Meteorite Island can."

"Oh, why is that?" Zhan Chen's interest was piqued.

"Because Flaming Meteorite Island happens to be a volcanic island. There is a resource here called Earth Fire. Using Earth Fire can remove the impurities in the forging materials and create more powerful weapons."

Hearing the receptionist's words, Zhan Chen had another question in his mind. "Then why doesn't your Forging Sword Pavilion sell more powerful swords?"

"Is this it?" The receptionist secretly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered to Zhan Chen, "It's because our Forging Sword Pavilion doesn't have a swordsmith who can control this kind of Earth Fire. Using Earth Fire to forge swords requires superb skills and control, and such a swordsmith is one in a hundred. Of course, our Forging Sword Pavilion doesn't have one either."

"Then where can I buy a more powerful sword?"

"I heard that there are skilled swordsmiths at the foot of the volcano who hide their names. They are infatuated with forging swords and do not care about fame and fortune. They are able to forge peerless swords."

"A peerless sword!" Zhan Chen's eyes lit up. What he needed was this kind of divine weapon. This way, his combat strength would greatly increase, and he would be able to deal with even more powerful enemies.

Thus, he asked again, "Do you know such a person?"

"I have never come into contact with him, but I heard that there is a swordsmith called Li Aoyun whose skills are extremely high. It is said that the upper echelons of our Forging Sword Pavilion once visited him in private and offered him a high salary, but he rejected them."

"Li Aoyun? I really have to pay him a visit. "Zhan Chen muttered.

At this moment, he did not notice that Zhang Si's eyes suddenly lit up beside him.

After walking out of the Forging Sword Pavilion, Zhan Chen went straight to the foot of the volcano. However, after asking a few passersby, they did not know of Li Aoyun, the swordsmith. He could not help but feel at a loss.

At this time, he heard Xiao Si suddenly say, "Senior, I might know this Li Aoyun swordsmith."

Zhan Chen asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Because my family lives in this area, I am very familiar with every household in this area. There is an uncle with the surname Li who is very strange. He forges swords every day, but he often breaks the swords that he painstakingly forged and reforged them. All of us in the village think he's a madman. "

"But when I was young, I often watched him forge swords with a few playmates nearby, so we became familiar with him. He treated us very well and often gave us some food to eat."

"Oh!" Zhan Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. A person who was infatuated with forging, a person who was always striving for perfection, was definitely not an ordinary swordsmith. Perhaps, he was the Li Aoyun that the Forging Sword Pavilion's receptionist was talking about.

Thus, he said to Xiao Si, "Xiao Si, quickly bring me to the Uncle Li you mentioned!"
