Chapter 60

The small village that Zhang Si lived in was hidden in the depths of the mountains. The road was rugged and difficult to traverse. Zhan Chen followed him through many twists and turns until they reached the depths of the dense forest. Suddenly, the view in front of them became clear. A small village appeared in the middle of an unremarkable little col.

There were only a hundred households in the village. Peaches and plums were planted everywhere. It was like a paradise.

A strange look flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes. This kind of place was really suitable for experts to live in seclusion. He saw that Xiao Si was abnormally excited and casually asked, "Xiao Si, you seem very excited."

"Yes, I haven't been home for half a month."

"Oh?"

"Our family is too poor. The few of us have been looking for odd jobs in the town to earn money. My fifth brother is very talented in martial arts. Only after we have saved enough money can we send him to the dojo."

When Zhan Chen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but become a little moist. He said, "Bring me to your Uncle Li immediately. If I can really obtain a treasured sword, I will give you a large sum of money. It will be enough for the six of you to go to the dojo!"

"It's true!" Zhang Si's eyes were filled with excitement and hope.

"Yes!" Zhan Chen looked at him amiably and nodded with a smile.

Thus, the two of them entered the village and arrived at a shabby house. From afar, they could hear a series of rhythmic clanking sounds of hammers hitting metal tools.

Zhan Chen's heart was filled with excitement as he hurriedly walked forward. He had never seen how swordsmithing looked like.

When they got closer, they saw that the door of the house was wide open. Inside the house, there was a disheveled and unkempt young man. He was currently holding a hammer in his hand and was concentrating on hitting a sword in his hand. He didn't even notice that there were people around him.

Zhan Chen was immediately captivated. His eyes stared at the movements of the young man's hands. He could see that every time the young man hit the sword, he had exquisite control over his strength. Zhan Chen himself had studied martial arts for many years, so he could naturally see the martial arts behind it.

"This young man's attainments in martial arts are definitely above mine! Looking at his cultivation, he is only at the level of a Martial Master, not a Martial Honor. "Zhan Chen suddenly felt that there was a mountain higher than the one before him.

At this moment, Zhang Si wanted to greet the young man but was stopped by Zhan Chen.

Zhang Si immediately understood and followed beside him to carefully watch the young man forge the sword, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, a discordant voice came from the other side, "You are Li Aoyun?"

Zhan Chen and Zhang Si looked in the direction of the voice and saw a well-dressed young master walking towards them. He gently waved his folding fan, but like Zhan Chen, he was also a high-level Martial Master. Behind him was a white-haired old man.

Zhan Zhan Chen could see that the old man behind the young man. His eyes of of of of Zhan Chen Tian. Zhang of Zhan of Chen of a of.

"This old man is a Martial Honor!" He was secretly on guard. He could not be wrong about this. Now, he was even more certain that the youth in front of him was the Li Aoyun that he was looking for. The fact that this noble young master could come to this deep mountain to ask for a sword proved his identity.

Li Aoyun didn't answer the noble young master's question and continued to hit the sword embryo with the iron hammer.

The young master said impatiently, "Are you Li Aoyun? Li Aoyun raised his head to look at him and said, "Are you Li Aoyun?

Li Aoyun looked up at him and said, "I don't want anyone to disturb me when I'm forging my sword."

Li Aoyun looked up at him and said, "I don't want anyone to disturb me when I'm forging the sword."

Li Aoyun looked at him and said, "250 Middle Grade Primordial Stones."

"What? 250 Middle Grade Primordial Stones! Do you really think I'm an idiot? "That young master immediately screamed.

Zhang Si, who was at the side, tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"Hmph! How dare you be rude to our young man! " At this moment, the old man beside the young man walked in front of Li Aoyun and glared at him. The powerful aura of a Martial Venerable was released.

Even Zhan Chen, who was standing further away, felt a strong pressure, not to mention Li Aoyun, who was facing him directly.

However, Li Aoyun, who was only a Martial Master Great Perfection, stared at the old man indifferently and did not give in. He said slowly, "I said it before, 250 Middle Grade Primordial Stones, not one less."

"Brat, you are really arrogant! Aren't you afraid that I will make a move? "The old man said coldly.

Li Aoyun did not show any signs of fear.

"Elder Yun, teach him a lesson!" The young man behind the old man shouted again.

"Brat, the young man has instructed me to teach you a lesson. Don't blame me for making a move!" After Elder Yun finished speaking, he raised his fist and punched towards Li Aoyun's chest with the force of thousands of kilograms. His speed was like a cannonball.

Zhan Chen only saw him raise his hand and was unable to see how he punched. His pupils could not help but shrink. Li Aoyun was in danger. If he was hit by such a punch, he would either die or be seriously injured. With the strength of a Martial Master, he would not be able to dodge it!

However, the next scene gave Zhan Chen an even stronger mental blow. He saw Li Aoyun's palm reach out like lightning and meet his opponent's fist calmly.

The corner of Elder Yun's mouth curled into a cold smile. It was as if he could already see the scene of Li Aoyun's bones being shattered by him.

There was a "peng" sound as the fist and palm came into contact. The expected sound of bones shattering did not appear. Instead, Li Aoyun's palm had already firmly grabbed onto Elder Yun's fist.

Apart from Li Ao Yun, everyone present had a shocked expression on their faces.

Elder Yun shouted in disbelief, "Li Aoyun! You hid your cultivation level! "

When Li Aoyun heard this, he only smiled slightly and said, "Old man, why would I hide my cultivation level? What you saw was my true cultivation level. "

"No! I do not believe that a Martial Master Great Perfection can go against a Beginner Martial Honor! If my strength was twice as strong as yours, what kind of trick did you use? "

At this moment, Li Aoyun looked at him seriously and said, "You are wrong. I did not play any tricks. That's right, your strength far exceeds mine. However, I used a trick to dissolve your strength. That's all. "

Being forced into a draw by a junior whose cultivation level was lower than his, the old man felt a little ashamed. He stood there in a daze for a moment.

"Why? Do you still want to continue?" Li Aoyun took a step closer to them.

The young master behind Elder Yun looked at the proud Li Aoyun and a sense of fear rose in his heart. He could not help but shout, "Elder Yun, let's go. This Li Aoyun is too strange." With that said, he slipped away with his tail between his legs.

Elder Yun then came back to his senses and hurriedly called out, "Young Master! Wait for this old man! "Then he hurriedly followed behind him.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Zhan Chen's heart. At this moment, it was as if his eyes were replaying the scene of Li Aoyun using his bare hands to block the Martial Honor's full power attack.

"Is this a genius? Is this what it means to challenge someone of a higher cultivation level? " For a Martial Master to fight against a Martial Venerable who was a level higher than him, this had originally been a fantasy in Zhan Chen's heart. However, today, a young man who was only a few years older than him had shown him such a shocking scene. His heart could not calm down for a long time.

"A Martial Honor can defeat a Martial Master using his strength! Perhaps I can do it too! " Zhan Chen's heart thumped violently as he clenched his fists tightly. Perhaps the time for his revenge would be brought forward!

At this moment, he heard Xiao Si call out, "Uncle Li!"

Li Aoyun turned around and looked at Xiao Si. A rare smile appeared on his cold face as he asked, "Xiao Si, I saw that you were here a long time ago. Who is this person?"

At this point, he looked at Zhan Chen.

Xiao Si introduced, "This senior is here to ask for a sword."

Li Aoyun glanced at Zhan Chen and said, "I just said that if you want me to forge a sword, you must first pay 250 mid grade Primordial Stones. This is my price, it's the same for everyone!"

"250 mid grade Primordial Stones. This price is five times the price of the large swordsmiths in the market. No wonder so few people come here to ask him to forge a sword. This price is too ridiculous." At this moment, Zhan Chen was hesitating whether or not he should pay such a high price to forge this sword. Furthermore, he did not know that the sword forged by Li Aoyun would be much stronger than the swordsmiths.

At this moment, the quick-witted Zhang Si saw that Zhan Chen was in a dilemma and said to Li Aoyun coquettishly, "Uncle Li, your price is too high. Can you give me face and make it cheaper?"

"Oh? You've learned how to bargain with me? "A trace of a smile appeared on Li Aoyun's cold face.

"This senior treats me so well. Just give me a bit cheaper." Zhang Si said as he pulled on the corner of Li Aoyun's clothes and begged.

Li Aoyun was clearly helpless against him. He looked at Zhan Chen and said, "Okay, I'll give you a lower price for Zhang Si's sake. 200 mid grade Primordial Stones. I can't go any lower. Do you want it? "

Zhan Chen weighed his options again and again before clenching his teeth and saying, "Okay! I want this sword. 200 mid grade Primordial Stones it is. I'll give it to you! "

After he finished speaking, he took out 200 mid grade Primordial Stones from his Heaven and Earth Bag and placed it in Li Aoyun's hands. However, his heart ached.

Li Aoyun saw that he was so straightforward and asked, "You're giving me the Primordial Stones so quickly? Are you at ease?"

Zhan Chen stared at him for a while before saying, "I trust you. Give me a good sword!"

"Good! You're indeed straightforward! "Li Aoyun was clearly a straightforward person. He really liked Zhan Chen's generosity.

"What kind of sword do you need? Including the sword's attributes, specifications, and accessories. Feel free to mention it. I'll do my best to make it. "He said to Zhan Chen.

"Requirements?" Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment. He didn't know much about the details, so he said, "I need a metal attribute longsword. As for the other aspects, I'll leave it up to Brother Li."

"Come and get the sword in ten days!" Li Aoyun threw down this sentence and was about to turn around and return to the house.

"Wait!" Zhan Chen suddenly called out.

Thus, Li Aoyun turned his head and asked, "What? Is there anything else you want to add or explain? "He thought that Zhan Chen had thought of a new requirement.
