The empress, Ren Baqian, and Ning Caichen stopped after exchanging a few words. They sat by the bonfire and looked at the number one expert in the world stuffing mutton into his stomach as if he hadn't eaten for a few months.
After a few minutes, he finished a large piece of mutton and then reached for the second piece.
Given the empress's protective character, it was rare that she didn't say anything. She just waited quietly, constantly adjusting her body's condition, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
Ren Baqian had known her for so long, but rarely saw such an expression on her face.
It seemed that the long-lost number one expert in the world had appeared in front of her, and her fighting spirit was boiling.
After half an hour, the man finished the mutton that Ren Baqian had roasted for the empress. He then exclaimed, "I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time. Kid, I see that you have a good constitution and are a talent. Do you want to follow me to find the stairway to the sky?"
"You want a chef, right?" Ren Baqian laughed. He could tell that this person wasn't difficult to talk to.
"Li Fu, you have eaten and drunk the wine. Let me see the strength of the world's number one expert!" The empress stood up from the ground with an eager look on her face.
Ren Baqian laughed again. He didn't expect the name of the world's number one expert to be so down-to-earth.
It really did match his attire.
Whether it was the empress, Hong Wu, Teng Yue, or even Zuo Cheng, they all had the aura of an expert.
However, no one would believe that the person in front of them was the world's number one expert if they didn't say so.
"Don't look for me for a fight. I don't know how to do it. I'm just a blacksmith, and my blacksmithing skills have been abandoned for many years!" Li Fu waved his hand.
"I smelled it today and couldn't resist my gluttony. Don't be so stingy, little girl."
The empress's face turned green as she swatted at Li Fu with her palm. The surrounding air was rolled up by this palm, and the area within a radius of 100 meters seemed to have become a whirlpool with the empress as the center.
"Goodbye, little girl!" Li Fu floated away from the empress's palm in a flash and fell into the darkness.
At this time, Ren Baqian realized that Li Fu actually had a black iron rod in his hand. However, it was much shorter than the iron rod, about 70 to 80 centimeters long, and there was a … turtle head at the front?
Seeing that Li Fu had run away, the empress was furious.
It was rare for her to meet the world's top expert, and she wanted to test the strength of the world's number one. However, the other party didn't even take a single blow and ran away just like that, causing her to feel extremely disappointed.
He then raised his voice and said, "Li Fu, aren't you looking for the Stairway to Heaven?"
The voice was loud and clear, and it traveled directly into the forest ahead.
The next moment, Li Fu landed in front of the bonfire and said solemnly, "Little girl, do you know?"
"I don't know, but I know how to ascend to the sky!" the empress said with a strange expression.
"Is that true? Don't lie to me! "Li Fu's face immediately revealed a look of surprise, but he was also afraid that the other party would lie to him.
"Speak!" The empress glanced at Ren Baqian.
"???"
"Your Majesty, are you referring to a plane or a rocket?" Ren Baqian felt that the empress suddenly asked him to speak.
"Is there really something that can allow me to ascend to the heavens?" Li Fu was in disbelief when he heard Ren Baqian's tone.
"First, tell me what you want to do in the sky. These two functions were different. Do you want to ascend to the sky to take a look or what? If you just want to ascend to the sky to take a look, a paraglider should be enough, "Ren Baqian asked curiously.
"I want to find the gods in the sky!" Li Fu's face was overflowing with murderous intent when he talked about this.
"Are there really gods?" Ren Baqian asked. Although there were many strange things in this world, he was still skeptical about the existence of gods. After all, there were very few theories about gods in Dayao, and he naturally couldn't come into contact with them.
He heard that there were a lot more stories about gods in Great Xia.
Also, what was this world's number one expert trying to do with his murderous expression? How much hatred did he have? Or did he want to pierce through the sky so that it would no longer cover his eyes? At his age, he should be past the second stage of middle school, right?
"There must be!" Li Fu said with a murderous look. However, coupled with his tattered clothes and the way he looked, people always felt that he was a lunatic.
"Can you tell me what you know about gods?" Ren Baqian asked curiously. He was very interested in this topic. No matter who it was, they would be interested in something like gods.
In particular, Li Fu was the world's number one expert. He had been looking for a way to ascend to the heavens for so many years and wanted to find the gods in the sky. He should know a lot of things that ordinary people didn't.
"Do you really know how to ascend to the heavens?" Li Fu stared at Ren Baqian with his eyes wide open.
"I do know how to ascend to the heavens. However, I'm afraid it will take some time to implement it. It will take at least 30 to 50 years to make that artifact that can ascend to the heavens, "Ren Baqian said after thinking for a while.
30 to 50 years was the fastest speed. It was only possible to make a rocket by directly moving all kinds of mature technology from Earth and accelerating development.
Of course, 30 to 50 years would be at least 100 years on Earth. Perhaps by then, there would already be small equipment that could easily send people to outer space.
As for what would happen if he couldn't find the gods in outer space, Ren Baqian didn't even want him to come back.
In fact, Ren Baqian said this with another intention. He was the world's number one expert. If he could keep this world's number one expert in Dayao as a fighter … Although it wasn't very possible, there might really be a chance since Li Fu was so eager to ascend to the heavens.
Even if he only made a move once in a while, it would be enough.
"What should I do?" Li Fu landed beside Ren Baqian in a flash and grabbed his shoulder.
Ren Baqian felt a powerful palm grab him, and he immediately couldn't exert any strength.
"Let go of him!" The empress's face was full of anger. The red muslin on her body fluttered even though there was no wind, and her fine black hair also fluttered upward.
No matter who the world's number one expert was, no one could touch my people!
"Let go!" The empress threw a punch at him without hesitation. Afraid that she would hurt Ren Baqian, she deliberately concentrated all the force of this punch on one point.
"You can't hit him. I'm fine with this punch, but this guy is dead meat!" Li Fu quickly shouted, grabbed Ren Baqian, and immediately fell into the darkness.
"Li Fu!" The empress was furious and immediately chased after him.
Ren Baqian felt a strong wind blowing on his body, and he couldn't even open his eyes. This speed was even faster than when the empress was carrying him.
In just a short while, the two of them landed somewhere unknown.
"Li Fu! I'm going to kill you! "The empress's roar came from afar.
"Kid, speak!" Li Fu shook Ren Baqian to the ground.
Ren Baqian was shocked that this ordinary-looking Li Fu could actually make the empress completely unable to catch up with him. In just a short while, the empress couldn't locate the two of them. This kind of strength was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, Li Fu didn't want his life. Otherwise, even the empress wouldn't be able to protect him.
After calming himself down, Ren Baqian smiled bitterly and said, "You ate Her Majesty's roasted meat, drank Her Majesty's wine, and even captured Her Majesty's man. Even though you're the most respected person in the world, this isn't very good, right?"
Li Fu was slightly embarrassed and said, "That girl is difficult to deal with, and I don't want to argue with her. Tell me, and I'll send you back and give you something good! "
Ren Baqian felt relieved after seeing Li Fu's expression. This world's number one expert was exactly as he had felt before, and he wasn't a scheming and merciless person.
"It's useless for me to tell you. At present, even the entire nation can't manufacture this thing," Ren Baqian said.
"With my means, I'm afraid there aren't many things in the world that can baffle me. Tell me," Li Fu said in a deep voice as he straightened his body.
Although these words were a little boastful, given Li Fu's status, he didn't feel that he was boasting.
However, when it came to manufacturing a rocket, even if there were 100 of him, it wouldn't be of much use.
"A rocket can easily send you beyond the Ninth Heaven," Ren Baqian said faintly.
"What is that?" Li Fu asked eagerly.
"Tell me what you know about the gods first!" Ren Baqian changed the subject.
Li Fu hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying, "200 years ago, I had a fiancée. Come to think of it, my fiancée is quite beautiful and virtuous … "
Upon hearing this, Ren Baqian immediately imagined a romance novel with three million words full of love and hatred.
This old man's fiancée was stolen? By the gods? That couldn't be, right?
"However, just six months before we got married, my fiancée suddenly became pregnant …"
Ren Baqian asked, "Huh?"
"However, my fiancée was still a virgin. People say that the gods met in a dream and that she was the son of a deity … "
"However, I couldn't accept it, so I spent six months forging this Dragon Turtle Rod. I swore to find the god who humiliated my fiancée and let him have a taste of the humiliation I suffered!" Li Fu was overflowing with murderous intent, and his beard stood up like steel needles. This was a sign that his mind was fluctuating violently and his body was full of vigor.
"Uh … Are you going to explode the god's backyard flower?" Ren Baqian was dumbfounded. Putting everything else aside, Li Fu's ambition alone was worthy of being the number one expert in the world.
"Backyard flower? Not bad, it's very appropriate. That's it! " Li Fu then said sternly, "This old man has searched for two hundred years, from the desert to the East Sea, from the south to the north. From a blacksmith, I have become the world's number one blacksmith, but this Stairway to Heaven is still like an illusion!"
I have searched for all the rumors about the gods in the world, and I'm preparing to go to the depths of the Sixty Thousand Mountains to see if there's anything I'm looking for in those endless mountains! "
He turned his head and stared at Ren Baqian sternly. "Kid, if you can do this, I'll give you great benefits! If you lie to me, no one in the world will be able to protect you! "
Ren Baqian opened his mouth and was a little dumbfounded.
The hatred of this number one expert in the world was so deep that he really didn't know what to say.
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian decided not to tell Li Fu about his speculation about whether his fiancée might have been swimming or falling into the water when someone happened to shoot her.
Ren Baqian was afraid that this blow would be too big.
The other party had searched for two hundred years. According to the other party, he was originally a blacksmith, but in these two hundred years, he became the number one expert in the world. He gave up everything, fame, wealth, beauty, and all the good things in the world, all for the sake of revenge!
