CHAPTER 121
The Yin Yang Fire Needle trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound that spread clearly throughout the courtyard.
Xue Dangkong's attainments in smithing were very deep, and he had seen many things.
Using the 10,000 Beast Fire as a buffer zone to allow Yin and Yang to coexist in balance was already shocking enough. Even a blacksmith master like him, who had been immersed in this field for decades, did not think of this.
However, in Chu Xingyun's eyes, all of this seemed normal.
He had refined the Yin Yang Fire Needle in order to detonate the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame and release the resentment of ten thousand beasts. Then, he would borrow the power of this resentment to kill Xiao Ting on the spot.
This series of actions required a deep understanding of the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and the Yin-Yang Aura, as well as precise control over them. If any of these factors were lacking, it would be impossible to succeed, and one might even lose one's life for nothing.
"No wonder I felt that it was strange that you could possess such terrifying power in such a short period of time. It turns out that you borrowed the resentment of the Ten Thousand Beasts." Xue Qingwu suddenly understood. She looked at the Ten Thousand Beast Flame with a hint of fear.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun chuckled, "You don't have to be so afraid of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. After releasing the resentment of the beasts, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame will become even purer, and there won't be a situation where it will backfire on the owner."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun opened his palm. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame danced in his palm. Although it was much weaker than before, it was no longer as violent as before. It had become very docile.
Xue Dangkong looked at Chu Xingyun, took a deep breath, and said, "This is also within your control. You released the resentment of the Ten Thousand Beasts not only to kill Xiao Ting, but also to gain complete control of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame."
Chu Xingyun nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, his ultimate goal was to control the Ten Thousand Beast Fire. Killing Xiao Ting was just a convenient thing to do, and it was also a convenient way to utilize the Ten Thousand Beast Fire.
At this moment, Xue Dangkong went silent. The gaze he used to look at Chu Xingyun changed once again. It was no longer admiration, but rather a burning desire, and his breathing became more rapid.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Kid, acknowledge me as your master."
"What? Apprenticeship? "Chu Xingyun was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right, I'm willing to accept you as my disciple!" Xue Zang Kong nodded and confirmed.
"After a few days of observation, I've discovered that you're very talented in the path of smithing. With your talent and my guidance, you'll be able to reach my current height in just ten years. You'll even have the chance to surpass me in the future."
The more Xue Zang Kong spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes flashed, "Other than that, you and Qing Wu are so fated to go through life and death together. You are a perfect match. You can become a couple. This way, we will be even closer!"
"Grandpa, you're making fun of me again!" Xue Qingwu glared at Xue Dangkong, her small face flushed red, but her eyes unconsciously glanced towards Chu Xingyun's side. That bashful look of rejection made the hundreds of flowers in the courtyard lose their color.
However, jokes aside, Xue Qingwu still acknowledged Xue Dangkong's words.
Xue Qingwu had seen Chu Xingyun's strength. Xue Qingwu also understood Chu Xingyun's talent very well. He was definitely a monster among monsters, and had even surpassed her.
After today, Xue Qingwu knew even more about Chu Xingyun's meticulous thoughts. Strategizing and predicting the situation was not a problem at all. Even if one searched the entire Imperial City, it would be hard to find someone who could match him.
Such a genius, even Xue Dangkong who had never accepted a disciple was moved. He took the initiative to say that he wanted to accept Chu Xingyun as his disciple.
"I appreciate Elder Xue's good intentions." Chu Xingyun quickly came back to his senses. He cupped his hands and directly refused.
"Refuse? Why would you refuse? "Xue Dangkong was stunned. He clearly didn't expect Chu Xingyun to refuse.
As the number one blacksmith of the Liuyun Dynasty, as long as he opened his mouth, the people who would come to accept him as their master would be enough to trample the Imperial City's threshold into pieces. This was an opportunity that others couldn't even ask for, but Chu Xingyun actually refused it so straightforwardly.
"I don't have much interest in the Dao of Forging. This time, refining the Yin Yang Fire Needle was just something I did casually. There's nothing worthy of praise, and it's also not enough to make Elder Xue want to accept me as his disciple. You should leave this opportunity to others."
Chu Xingyun's voice was calm, but when it fell into Xue Dangkong's ears, it didn't mean that.
He was filled with admiration towards the Yin Yang Fire Needle. He felt that this was a stroke of genius, and it made him feel that he had a deeper understanding of the Dao of Forging.
However, this was just something that Chu Xingyun did casually, and it wasn't worthy of praise!
Xue Dangkong suddenly felt that Chu Xingyun's talent was a hundred times better than what he had imagined. If his talent was completely stimulated, how shocking would it be?
"Kid, do you want to think about it again? This opportunity has great benefits for both you and me." Xue Dangkong repeatedly said. There was even a trace of longing in his tone, and he completely lost his usual dignified attitude.
"I've made up my mind." Chu Xingyun's tone was incomparably firm.
Just as he said, he didn't have much interest in the Dao of Forging. He would only fiddle around when he was bored.
Chu Xingyun was truly obsessed with the Dao of Alchemy.
In this life, not only did he want to return to his peak, he also wanted to raise his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy to the next level and refine the legendary Emperor Grade Heavenly Pill.
Other than this reason, there was also an extremely important point.
In Chu Xingyun's opinion, Xue Dangkong's attainments in the Dao of Forging were too poor. He was even inferior to him. It was simply impossible for him to acknowledge an old urchin who was far inferior to him as his master.
"Don't speak too firmly. Maybe one day in the future, you'll change your mind." Xue Dangkong still didn't give up. He chuckled and said, "As long as you change your mind, the door of my Xue family will always be open for you."
After saying that, Xue Dangkong turned around and prepared to leave with Xue Qingwu.
He had just taken a step when he suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and said to Chu Xingyun, "Before we leave, I still have a question."
"There's no harm in saying it directly." Chu Xingyun shrugged, appearing to be indifferent.
"When you set up your plan, did you consider the Tribunal Council?"
Xue Dangkong lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "If Heartless Tie did not listen to your words at all, and instead became enraged and wanted to kill you on the spot, how would you deal with it? Or could it be that you already knew that I was hiding in the shadows, and only dared to act so fearlessly because of my help?"
"The Tribunal Council is very important. Naturally, I have considered it. What you said just now is only one of them. Even if Elder Snow didn't make a move in the end, I still have a way to escape unscathed." Chu Xingyun said confidently.
"What way?" Elder Snow asked again.
