Naturally, these words weren't transmitted outside, so Xu Chong and the others weren't able to hear them. Even Su Yin wasn't aware that the basin he was using to wash his face had already reached Immortal-tier.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan was standing on the bed. Seeing that the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook was shivering instead of freezing the water, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Hurry up! "
"Yes!"
Suppressing his shock, the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook trembled violently, and in an instant, the water in the basin became bone-chilling cold. However, due to the presence of Saint Origin Energy, it didn't freeze.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Su Yin stopped hammering. He picked up the spatula and placed it into the basin.
Tzzzzzzz!
As the scorching weapon came into contact with the cold water, steam rose into the air. Sensing the time, Su Yin hurriedly took the spatula out.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
The color of the spatula instantly changed, turning it into a greenish-gray color. The inscriptions on its surface glowed brightly, and at the same time, it released a resonant vibrating sound, as if it was going to shatter the surrounding space.
"It's … the Spiritual Call! It already possesses spirit as soon as it's forged? "
Xu Chong and the others widened their eyes in shock.
In order for a spirit artifact to gain sentience, one had to be nourished with sufficient nourishment. Secondly, the material used to forge it had to be of high quality, such that it would be able to gain sentience on its own … While the metal that the other party had used was not bad, it was still a long way off from gaining sentience directly!
Yet, it actually managed to produce spirit just like that … Just what grade was this weapon?
Just as Xu Chong was about to investigate the matter, the displeased voice of the young man suddenly sounded.
"Shut up! How dare a defective spirit artifact call itself that? "
Weng! Wu ~
The spirit of the spatula didn't make any sound. Instead, it flew to the side with an aggrieved look on its face. Seeing the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook floating in front of it, it smacked it down and roared, "Scram! You're worse than a defective spirit artifact!"
"Yes …" Replying with a trembling voice, the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook dodged to the side.
"Elder Xu, what grade is it?"
The Zongshi realm expert outside the cage couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Xu Chong.
"It's, it's …" His lips trembling, Xu Chong sucked in a deep breath and suppressed his trembling lips. "It's a Perfect Spirit Artifact!"
"Complete Mastery?" The four Grandmasters looked at each other, their scalps tingling.
Calling a perfected spirit artifact defective?
Big brother, do you have some misunderstanding about defective products?
Consummation, also known as Perfect, was the pinnacle of Spirit artifacts. There were many 9-star blacksmiths who were only able to forge a single Consummation weapon in their lifetime, and that was already sufficient to put them at the top of their peers. Yet, despite using ordinary materials, Zhang Xuan still managed to succeed in half an incense's time.
The few of them felt that their mentality was collapsing. They were unable to even forge a peak grade Spirit weapon. High grade was already their limit …
"Even though there's no need for one's cultivation to start learning any occupation, in order to reach a higher level, one has to be compatible with the Great Dao. Without sufficient strength, it's impossible to accomplish such a feat …"
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Xu Chong sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan. "So, even though that young man looks young, his true cultivation is most likely at the Pseudo Immortal realm or even higher! Have you heard of such an existence in Great Salt City? "
Regardless of whether it was smithing, pill forging, formation inscriptions, or other occupations, one could come into contact with them even without sufficient strength. However, if one wished to reach the pinnacle, one would not be able to do so without sufficient cultivation.
Putting everything aside, taking physicians who did not require cultivation as an example, they only needed medicinal herbs and medicinal liquid to treat ordinary people. However, what about treating Lineage realm experts and Pseudo Immortals? Without sufficient strength, one might not even be able to get close to the body. Just a pulse could jolt one to death, needless to say, diagnose one's condition.
This was precisely the reason why even though the young man looked ordinary, they knew that … it was definitely a disguise!
Otherwise, how could he have made the Frostsnow Soul Capturing Hook behave obediently like a grandson? How could he execute eight thousand hammers as one? How could he forge a perfected … spatula?
But … they should have long heard of such a formidable figure. Why were they so ignorant that they did not know that there was such a powerful expert in the Great Yan Continent?
"I don't know either …"
"I've heard a little about it, but I wonder if it's true …"
The four grandmasters sent telepathic messages to each other.
Su Yin had suppressed Mo Yuan and the others with a single finger, causing them to be unable to resist. This news had caused a huge commotion in Great Salt City, and almost everyone knew about it. However, not many people in the Alliance or even the other cities in the Great Yan Province knew about it.
It was not that they did not care, but most of the rumors were false. An 18-year-old who could easily defeat an Inherited Realm expert and suppress more than a hundred experts, forcing them to submit … Even if they heard about it, they might not believe it.
"Oh?" Xu Chong looked at the last grandmaster who spoke.
"I heard that … a Junior Martial Uncle appeared in the Immortal Subduing Sect. He's only 18 years old, but his cultivation has surpassed the Inherited Realm! The Great Demon of Bliss escaped from Jade Sea and was easily tamed by him. He left him in the courtyard to grind … "
With an awkward expression, the grandmaster hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard people talking about it yesterday, but I thought they were joking …"
That was The Great Demon of Bliss … Eight thousand years ago, he had caused great chaos in the world and was an invincible existence! He was arrogant and thought that he was number one in the world. Even when surrounded by dozens of Pseudo Immortals, he would rather be sealed than submit. And now, he was saying that he was being grinded by someone …
When they first heard it, they thought that even if they were bragging, they should at least make it sound more convincing … It was too ridiculous!
"Now that you mention it, I seem to have heard it too. Are you saying that this person is that … Junior Martial Uncle?"
The grandmasters swayed at the same time.
In order to find Sun Zhao, they had been to many cities over the years. They had stayed in Great Salt City for half a day and heard some rumors, but they did not believe it.
At this moment, seeing how easily the other party forged equipment and had an unfathomable cultivation base, they would be fools if they still could not make the connection.
While they were discussing telepathic messages, Su Yin, who had just put away the spatula, felt the spiritual energy slowly entering his body. He heaved a sigh of relief.
With this, he would be safe. Even if the other party wanted to make a move, he would be able to kill them.
"Here!"
After putting away the spatula, Su Yin waved his hand, and the Frostsnow Soul Capturing Hook flew toward Xu Chong.
"Thank you, elder …" Seeing that the other party did not take away his weapon, Xu Chong heaved a sigh of relief. He clasped his fist and bowed. "Elder, are you … the Junior Martial Uncle of the Immortal Suppression Sect?"
"That's right!" Seeing that he had been recognized, Su Yin nodded.
Xu Chong heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the other party was not from the Qingyun Sect. Most likely, the Immortal Suppression Sect had nothing to do with Mo Yuan and the others.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Chong bowed deeply and said, "Elder, this is Sun Zhao. A hundred years ago, he snuck into our Blacksmith Hall and stole the treasure of our Blacksmith Hall, the 【Spirit Consolidating Immortal Rock】. We have been searching for it for a hundred years, and we have finally found it here … If elder is protecting the thief, we won't say anything. However, if … it's just a coincidence, our Blacksmith Hall is willing to pay the price.
Please don't interfere! "After saying those words, Xu Chong gritted his teeth and waved his hand. A faint red stone flew out and floated in the air.
"This Fire Spirit Rock is something that I have spent a great deal of effort to obtain. It is of great help to fire-attribute cultivators and blacksmiths. I know that given elder's strength, you might not need it, but please accept it as a token of our Blacksmith Hall's sincerity!"
Mo Yuan, who was outside the cage, shuddered. "The Blacksmith Hall sure is generous …"
Su Yin took the Fire Spirit Rock from Xu Chong's hand and glanced at it. It was slightly warm, but there was nothing special about it. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Knowing that this Junior Martial Uncle of his had never left the mountain, Mo Yuan explained to him telepathically, "Junior Martial Uncle should know about ordinary spirit stones, but the Fire Spirit Rock is different from them. It is one of the Five Elemental Spirit Rocks, and it is extremely rare. It has miraculous effects on certain unique occupations!
"Take blacksmithing as an example. We often get close to scorching flames, and over time, we will be affected by the fire poison. When our cultivation is low, we won't see any harm, but once we reach Grandmaster Realm or Inherited Realm, the fire poison will be easily affected by the Great Dao. It will become the fuse that leads to spirit energy deviation, and it can even endanger our lives!
"Because of this, at least half of blacksmiths and those who are close to fire will be tormented by the fire poison in their later years, and it will be extremely painful! And the Fire Spirit Rock is the best item to neutralize the fire poison. Putting everything else aside, just this piece alone will definitely be worth no less than three hundred thousand taels of gold in the outside world! "
Su Yin was stunned.
His ship was only worth a hundred thousand taels of gold, and this small rock was actually twice as expensive … He had to admit that the other party was really generous.
In order to prevent him from interfering, the other party had taken out such a precious item right off the bat. He was very sincere.
Xu Chong had also deliberately added the word 'thief' in his words. The meaning behind his words was very simple. Such an expert should respect his identity. He could not possibly be related to a 'thief', right?
As expected of a powerful fighter from the alliance. As expected, an Inherited Realm fighter was not so easy to deal with!
Su Yin did not reply directly. He turned his head to look at Sun Zhao, who was standing by his side. "What's going on?"
He had to figure out what was going on first. He could not just listen to the other party's words.
"Junior martial uncle, this matter is indeed my fault …" Sun Zhao explained with a red face.
One hundred years ago, when Liu Rufei was trapped in a dangerous place, she left a shred of her soul in the bracelet. To prevent this shred of her soul from being destroyed, Sun Zhao searched everywhere for items that could preserve a shred of her soul.
After searching for a while, he learned that the Alliance's Weapon Refining Hall had a treasure that could stabilize a shred of her soul. Even if she was not awake, it could ensure that her soul would not be destroyed. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to come and ask for it. He was willing to pay any price. Unfortunately, this item was too precious, and the other party did not agree to it.
"I couldn't get it. To save Rufei, I had no other choice. So, while the hall master and the others weren't around, I snuck in and stole this item …" Sun Zhao said with a sigh.
Back then, he did not even fear death, so why would he care about stealing it?
After he succeeded, he immediately changed his identity and went to many different places before finally arriving at the Alliance.
Previously, he thought that it was due to his superior movement art that he was not discovered. However, at this moment, he realized that it was because Senior Mo Yuan had used a lot of strength. Otherwise, he might not have been able to escape from the Weapon Refining Hall.
Thinking about it now, in order to save the woman he loved, he had already lost his mind.
"What about the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone?" Su Yin asked. "It's not right to steal it. Since the other party has already found us, we should just return it and compensate for it!"
"This …" Sun Zhao's face reddened. "Senior Martial Uncle asked me if I was certain that Rufei's soul was still alive. The reason why I said that I was certain was because I used this item. After a hundred years, the immortal stone has already been depleted. Even if I wanted to return it, I wouldn't be able to …"
Su Yin was taken aback.
He had indeed asked Zhang Xuan something similar before, and the other party was certain that he had used the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone.
The other party had given away the Fire Spirit Stone as a favor, but the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone had required a heritage and four Zongshi masters to spend a hundred years searching for it.
To think that such a precious treasure would be used up so quickly that it would be impossible to find it again … It was no wonder why Sun Zhao was unwilling to hand it over.
"You actually used it all up?"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Xu Chong's face warped in shock.
"Yes …" Sun Zhao nodded. "If you still have it, I would have just returned it to you. There's no need to fight to the death!"
"It's over, it's all over now …"
Xu Chong's body trembled. A moment later, he turned to Su Yin and said with gritted teeth, "If the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone is truly depleted, I won't be able to decide what to do with Sun Zhao anymore. I'll have to bring him back to the Weapon Refining Hall and have the hall master and the elders make a joint decision. Elder, I beseech you to grant my request!"
"This matter is my fault in the first place. I'm willing to return with him …" Sun Zhao sighed deeply.
"Forget it!"
Seeing that the blame was on Sun Zhao's side, Su Yin could not say anything. He could only shake his head and look at Sun Zhao with a slightly strange expression. "You just said … Did something happen that we have to use this Solidifying Spirit Immortal Stone?"
"Yes!" Xu Chong nodded. "Something happened to the pavilion master's teacher, so he needs the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone to stabilize his soul. Otherwise … it'll be very troublesome!"
"The pavilion master's teacher? Are you talking about … the 8-star blacksmith who reached 8-star two thousand years ago, Li Chaofeng? Could it be that … he's still alive? "
Mo Yuan suddenly recalled something and was taken aback.
Xu Chong nodded. "Actually, he has already passed away. It's just that his will remained behind to guard the Weapon Refining Hall …"
"Un …" Mo Yuan nodded.
Putting aside the Great Yan Prefecture, even in the entire Master Teacher Continent, an 8-star blacksmith could be considered one of the top blacksmiths. Even if he was dead, as long as his will was preserved well, he could still live for a long time.
"Without the Spirit Reinforcing Immortal Stone, even if we capture Sun Zhao, it'll be useless …"
After thinking for a while, Mo Yuan said, "If it's only about stabilizing his soul, I think there is someone who can help!"
"Who?" Xu Chong's pupils shrunk as he hurriedly looked over. "As long as Master Li's soul can be stabilized, the grudge between him and Sun Zhao can be resolved!"
"Far away on the horizon, yet close in front of you!" Mo Yuan smiled and said, "In this world, if there is anyone who can stabilize Li Chaofeng's soul, I'm afraid only Junior Martial Uncle can do it. No one else can do it!"
"Me?" Su Yin frowned. Although he had been living with broken souls since he was young, he knew nothing about souls. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Xu Chong for so long!
"That's right. Souls are illusory things. Normal methods and medicines won't work on them. Unless … it's supreme dan beads!"
Mo Yuan said with a smile.
"Supreme dan beads? Is there really such a thing in the world? " Xu Chong was stunned. After thinking for a while, he nodded. "If there is such a thing, it can save Master Li."
