《Divine Blacksmith: Rewards From My Weapons》


 Chapter 1

    Dang ¨C dang ¨C dang ¨C


    A dull hammering sound came from the courtyard, echoing in the empty countryside.


    In the courtyard, Feng Ling, who was reading, suddenly looked up.


    A stench came with the wind, accompanied by a few low roars.


    ¡°These animals are getting more and more arrogant.¡±


    Feng Ling closed the book, picked up a Pig Slaughtering Knife from the table, and headed out of the yard.


    As soon as he went out, he saw a lone wolf staring at him with green eyes.


    This lone wolf was far larger than ordinary wolves, but it was all skin and bones. Clearly, it was a little malnourished. Sticky saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth, and the stench came from its mouth.


    Awoo awoo~


    When the lone wolf saw Feng Ling appear, the green light in his eyes intensified and he kept roaring.


    ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re too arrogant.¡±


    Feng Ling laughed derisively. ¡°You must be starving.¡±


    Then he stepped forward and swung the Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    A drop of blood slipped from the tip of the knife, and the hiss faded into the night.


    The green light in the lone wolf¡¯s eyes went out, and a line of text appeared before Feng Ling.


    [The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has completed the kill. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has improved by 1 point.]


    Feng Ling pulled up his knife and dragged the dead wolf to the small garden at the back of the yard. He dug a hole and buried it.


    Returning to the courtyard, Windrush checked that it was ten past nine. Ten minutes past the end of the working day.


    He patted a mechanical arm in the middle of the courtyard.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Here¡¯s the overtime pay for tonight.¡± He picked up the metal that had just been forged on the forging table, broke off a piece the size of a green bean, and threw it into the palm of the mechanical arm.


    The mechanical arm clenched its fist, extended its thumb, and shook it. Then it placed the metal block into a small basket in the back.


    ¡°Well, good night.¡±


    The mechanical arm swung, and a series of indicator lights went out.


    Feng Ling tidied up the materials in the courtyard and went to wash up and sleep.


    Soon, the courtyard fell silent. Only the wind under the moon gently brushed past the willow trees in the courtyard.


    The sun and moon alternated in a misty haze.


    Feng Ling had already woken up early. He twisted and turned in the courtyard, punching and kicking with the breathing technique that his master had passed down.


    As a blacksmith who did manual labor, he naturally had to have a good body.


    A warm current rose from his dantian and slowly spread throughout his body along with Feng Ling¡¯s movements. Finally, it returned to his dantian and strengthened a little.


    The sun was high in the sky. Feng Ling exhaled a long white breath, indicating that his morning exercise was complete.


    ¡°Work hard at home. I¡¯m going out to make some money.¡±


    The robotic arm, which was already fully lit, swung into a ¡°six¡± shape. Then, with a roar, it picked up the iron block beside it and began to hammer.


    Feng Ling picked up two suitcases and drove to the shop in town.


    The Armament Workshop. That was the name of the shop.


    It was also the only thing his master had left for Feng Ling besides the courtyard and the surrounding 20 acres of land.


    When Fengling arrived at the shop, it meant that the shop was officially open.


    However, Divine Weapon Town was a small town at the foot of the mountain. There were few people on the streets.


    Feng Ling was used to this. He sat behind the counter, took a book from his suitcase, and began to read it carefully.


    Forging iron seemed to be very simple, but it was very profound.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    It involved not only forging techniques, but the analysis and cooperation of various materials.


    If he wanted to achieve something in this aspect, hands-on practice was indispensable, and knowledge theory had to be rich enough.


    The morning passed quietly. Feng Ling cooked two simple dishes and checked her gains in the past few days as she ate.


    [The ¡°Nine Rings¡± mechanical arm you forged and assembled has tempered a hundred kilograms of iron. Your forging skills have increased by 1 point.]


    [The spoon you forged stir-fried a fragrant dish. Your culinary skills have increased by 1 point.]


    [The hoe you cast is three acres of weeds. Your agricultural skills have increased by 1 point.]


    [The silver needles you cast saved a patient. You learned how to identify acupoints and feel pulses.]


    These feedback, including the hint that the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique had improved last night, came from a mysterious book in Feng Ling¡¯s mind.


    Back then, his master had given him a mysterious material when he took him in as a disciple.


    It was said that this material hid a huge secret. If he could unlock it, he would be able to obtain a huge opportunity.


    Feng Ling didn¡¯t care at first, but on the day he sold the first iron pot he built, the mysterious material melted under his eyes and turned into a stream of light that entered his glabella.


    After that, a book appeared in his mind. It was called Equipment Strategy.


    Apart from being able to teach Feng Ling Forging Techniques, this Equipment Strategy also had an even more powerful function¡ªrewards.


    Every time someone used an instrument personally forged by Feng Ling, he would receive a reward from Equipment Strategy.


    If someone used kitchenware to cook a delicious dish, Feng Ling¡¯s culinary skills would improve.


    Someone using farm tools for farming would raise his skill level.


    In Divine Weapon Town, what he forged the most was some kitchenware and farming tools, so he naturally received more feedback.


    Now, his culinary skills and agricultural skills were not inferior to some master-level figures.


    And today, he had unlocked a new skill, Acupoint Recognition.


    Thinking about it carefully, it should be the set of silver needles bought by an old Chinese medicine doctor who passed by Divine Weapon Town half a month ago.


    There was a lot of information, but Feng Ling skipped most of it.


    In fact, he was not very interested in knowledge that was not related to forging. In addition, the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± was very mysterious, and all the rewards were directly for him to master. Therefore, Feng Ling did not need to spend much time to adapt.


    After clearing the dishes, Feng Ling continued his boring shop-sitting life.


    ¡°This must be the Armament Workshop, right?¡±


    In front of the shop, the middle-aged man stopped and looked at the three powerful words above the wooden door.


    The bodyguard in black beside him did not answer. He only carefully sensed the aura in the shop.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡±


    The shop was not small. It was about a hundred square meters, but the display took up most of the space. The only walkway was no wider than a person.


    At the far end, facing the door, was the counter. On the wall behind it hung a photograph of an old man.


    Feng Ling closed the book ¡°Detailed Explanations of Ores¡± and stood up, smiling.


    ¡°Hello, can I help you, customer?¡±


    Without waiting for an answer, he continued, ¡°The prices are all marked. The money box and payment QR code are on this side. If you like anything, you can pay directly and take it away.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, or need to understand, you can ask me.¡±

    ¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll take a look myself first.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s gaze froze on the old man¡¯s photo for half a second. He nodded slightly and immediately began to check the items on these display shelves.


    In this shop, there were a total of three rows of display racks, which were divided into three areas.


    The first area contained kitchen supplies, pots, pans, jars, jars, pots, bowls, spoons, chopsticks, and plates.


    The second area was for farming equipment. The plowshares raked the rakes and scythes, while the forks scraped the hammers and shovels.


    The third area was for weapons and armor. It was just that this area had shelves and nothing else.

 Chapter 2

    ¡°Boss, why is your third area empty?¡± The middle-aged man turned around and asked curiously.


    ¡°This shop was passed down by my master. In his era, there were still martial arts and battles, so it¡¯s not strange for him to forge weapons. But in this era, forging these weapons will be controlled knives,¡± Feng Ling explained with a smile.


    ¡°Oh, I see.¡± The middle-aged man was enlightened and immediately asked, ¡°But this is the mechanized era. Boss, can you still sell these farming tools here?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still some business.¡± Windrush walked out of the counter and over to the display shelves. ¡°This small town isn¡¯t like the big cities. The people here aren¡¯t rich to begin with, and there are few fields at home. Even if we jointly hire a harvester, the harvest will be lost.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why these sickle rakes are quite popular during the busy farming season.¡±


    The middle-aged man looked at the smiling young man in front of him with a complicated expression.


    If nothing went wrong, the young man in front of him should be his senior brother¡¯s disciple, his martial nephew.


    It was hard to imagine that Senior Brother¡¯s fiery personality would actually nurture such an easygoing disciple.


    ¡°So do you get any income from selling these?¡± he couldn¡¯t help asking.


    How much profit could some pots and pans make? The two of them must have had a hard time, right?


    Feng Ling was a little puzzled. Why did this guest have so many questions?


    However, on the principle of not letting go of any business, he still replied, ¡°In this small town, a palm-sized place can¡¯t eat even a little fruit and vegetables. There¡¯s no problem with food and clothing.¡±


    The middle-aged man was a little moved. Back then, his senior brother was a top-notch Master Forger. Why had he become like this now¡­


    ¡°I wonder if you can invite your master out?¡± The middle-aged man finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°I¡¯m an old friend of your master. I specially came to find your master today.¡±


    Feng Ling¡¯s eyebrows rose and his smile faded. His expression was serious. ¡°What is your name?¡±


    ¡°Duan Changde.¡± The middle-aged man introduced himself. ¡°He¡¯s also your master¡¯s junior brother.¡±


    ¡°Duan Changde¡­ Can you prove your identity?¡±


    Duan Changde didn¡¯t hesitate. He crossed his arms in a strange gesture.


    Feng Ling nodded, turned to the counter, and took out an envelope.


    ¡°Master had already passed away eight years ago. Before he left, he told me that if Duan Changde could find this place one day and prove his identity, I should give him the letter. If he couldn¡¯t come or couldn¡¯t, he would destroy the letter and never know this person again.¡±


    ¡°What?! Senior Brother, he¡­¡± Duan Changde¡¯s eyes widened and he lost his footing. The bodyguard beside him quickly caught him.


    He was stunned for a moment before he managed to steady himself. He took the letter from Feng Ling¡¯s trembling hand.


    He opened the envelope and read the contents word by word. Tears welled up in his eyes.


    As he finished reading the last line, he finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and wailed like a child.


    The bodyguard beside him was a little flustered. With this person¡¯s temperament, what was in the letter that made him like this?


    Feng Ling did not know what was written in the letter. He had not even touched this letter since his master handed it to him back then.


    After a long while, Duan Changde wiped his face and looked at Feng Ling with red eyes.


    ¡°Martial Nephew¡­¡±


    ¡°Stop.¡± Feng Ling reached out and interrupted, ¡°Before my master died, he told me that he didn¡¯t have any parents, brothers, relatives, friends, or senior brothers or junior brothers. My master passed away early. If anyone came to claim kinship, he wouldn¡¯t acknowledge them.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Duan Changde opened his mouth, but in the end, he sighed and stopped struggling. ¡°Alright, then¡­ what should I call you?¡±


    ¡°My name is Feng Ling.¡±


    ¡°Feng Ling, good, good.¡± Duan Changde thought for a moment and said, ¡°Even though Senior Brother doesn¡¯t want to acknowledge me, I don¡¯t dare to forget that I was once a person of the Armament Workshop, let alone forget Senior Brother¡¯s teachings and love. Feng Ling, since you¡¯re Senior Brother¡¯s successor, then I¡¯m your Uncle¡­ Well, your uncle.¡±


    Feng Ling was speechless. How did this guy suddenly become his uncle?


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    ¡°Senior Brother said that it¡¯s not convenient for me to interfere in your life. But if you¡¯re really in trouble, call me¡­ Forget it, let¡¯s just add each other as friends.¡±


    As he spoke, he took out his phone and opened the ¡°Scan¡± interface.


    Feng Ling looked at her phone and then at Duan Changde. In the end, she added him as a friend.


    Even though Duan Changde¡¯s uncontrollable emotional fluctuations just now did not make Feng Ling have a good impression of him, she still believed in the identity of the person.


    Moreover, his master had also said that if Duan Changde could prove his identity, he could be trusted to a certain extent.


    Duan Changde had already recovered from his emotions. After adding Feng Ling as a friend, he asked for three incense sticks to offer to the old man and left.


    He walked briskly, without the hesitation he had shown when he arrived.


    Feng Ling did not take the matter to heart.


    Whether Duan Changde was his Uncle-Master or not, it would not affect his life.


    He had spent nearly half of his 18 years in the Divine Weapon Town by himself.


    Being alone and safe had become his daily theme.


    At five in the afternoon, Feng Ling closed the shop and prepared to go home.


    Eight to five in the morning. That was the working hours he had set for himself.


    As the owner of the shop, it was naturally impossible for him to work overtime.


    Well, of course, there was still a period of learning and improvement when he got home. It would take until nine o¡¯clock.


    He lived about twenty miles from the town. It was neither close nor far. The drive would take no more than fifteen minutes.


    However, Feng Ling realized that something was wrong today.


    The music in the car had finished five songs, but he still didn¡¯t see his small courtyard.


    He took out his phone. It was five thirty.


    Feng Ling had walked the path from his small courtyard to the town for eighteen years. Even if he had to close his eyes, he would know how many steps to turn.


    This situation could only mean one thing. He was in trouble.


    They stopped the car and switched off the engine. Feng Ling drew a knife from under the passenger seat.


    The saber was straight, and the blade was wrapped in a black scabbard. A red silk ribbon hung from the hilt ring.


    He opened the car door and was greeted by a cold wind that was out of season.


    Feng Ling loosened her shoulders, and a white light suddenly lit up in her eyes. The scene in front of her instantly changed.


    He had just left the town and had been circling around a circular intersection.


    And the cause of all this was three young and beautiful-looking women.


    However, their expressions were not good at this moment because the direction that Feng Ling was heading in with his saber was where they were.

    Logically speaking, it was impossible for ordinary people to see their figures, but at this moment, Feng Ling did not look like someone who had been blinded.


    Feng Ling did not ask too much. When she raised the long saber in her hand, it was already unsheathed, and the Pig Slaughtering Knife was suddenly used.


    The sharp blade light attacked the three women with unparalleled power.


    The three women¡¯s expressions changed drastically. At this moment, they were already certain that not only could Feng Ling see them, but his strength was also definitely not ordinary.


    However, it was too late to leave now.

 Chapter 3

    Even though the name of the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique was ordinary and even a little funny, its power was not ordinary. Its exquisiteness was in the word ¡°fast¡±.


    It was like killing a pig. When the knife fell, it had to be fast, the technique had to be steady, and the direction had to be accurate. There could be no sloppiness.


    In fact, the moment the three women saw the saber beam, they were already enveloped by it and could not escape. They could only resist it head-on.


    Tch¡ª


    In the blink of an eye, blood flowed down the tip of the saber, but there was no trace of it on the saber.


    Of the three women, only one was lying on the ground. The other two did not have human forms anymore. Their white fur was stained with blood, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive. They were actually two white foxes!


    ¡°Tell me, why did you stop me here?¡±


    Feng Ling stood two meters in front of them. He pointed his long saber and asked coldly.


    He had held back just now because he wanted to get something out of them.


    This was also the first time he had seen a demon, and it was even the classic image of a white fox. It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised.


    Even though he had previously slaughtered many wild beasts like Lone Wolf last night, demons, demons that could transform into humans, were clearly not on the same level anymore.


    ¡°Sir, it¡¯s a misunderstanding! Sir, it¡¯s a misunderstanding!¡± The only white fox that could still maintain its human form clutched its shoulder and begged loudly, enduring the pain.


    ¡°We are little demons under Lord Bai Yi of Iron Mountain. We are here to find you. We just want to find you a set of tools!¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Feng Ling sneered. ¡°You came to find me to forge tools. Are you trying to confuse me and block my path?¡±


    ¡°You set up an illusion here. If I didn¡¯t have some ability¡­ Hmph, what if someone else passed by here and was trapped here for you to play with?¡±


    ¡°Sir, you¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± The white fox was already regretting it.


    He regretted appearing in such a manner.


    How could they have expected a mere blacksmith to have such strength? They also didn¡¯t expect this person to attack first¡­


    ¡°The three of us definitely didn¡¯t cast this illusion on anyone until you left the town¡­ No, we didn¡¯t mean to target you¡­ We, we just¡­¡±


    ¡°Sir, the three of us were wrong. Please spare our lives for Lord Bai Yi¡¯s sake!¡±


    The white fox stopped covering its wound and crawled on the ground, begging desperately.


    With this appearance and the beautiful human form she had transformed into, some soft-hearted people probably couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    Feng Ling was unmoved and asked coldly, ¡°What¡¯s the background of this Lord Bai Yi you mentioned?¡±


    ¡°Where exactly is it located in Iron Mountain?¡±


    ¡°Why would it know about me?¡±


    Feng Ling placed the long saber on the white fox¡¯s neck. ¡°You¡¯d better answer honestly. Otherwise, I might have to use the fox to open the blade before I slaughter the ox.¡±


    Half an hour later, Feng Ling received three notifications.


    [The butcher¡¯s knife you forged has completed the kill. You have obtained the divine power, ¡°Dismembering Bull¡±]


    [The butcher¡¯s knife you forged has completed the kill. Your divine power, ¡°Dismembering Bull¡±, has been enhanced by 5 points.]


    [The butcher¡¯s knife you forged has completed the kill. Your divine power, ¡°Dismembering Bull¡±, has been enhanced by 5 points.]


    Feng Ling placed the three white fox corpses in the trunk and drove back to his small courtyard.


    After assigning Nine Rings a new mission, Feng Ling lay in the chair and began to think.


    The world was changing all the time. This change wasn¡¯t about how fast technology was developing. Countries were finally sitting down to set carbon neutrality goals.


    This ¡°change¡± was the entire world. It was all the living environment that was changing.


    Feng Ling had been aware of this since eight years ago.


    When he was eight years old, he began to learn the breathing technique from his master.


    In the past two years, his strength had indeed increased a lot, but it had not reached an exaggerated level.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    However, on a certain day not long after his master passed away, a warm current appeared in his dantian.


    Then, the warm current continued to grow, and his physique became better and better.


    It was also from that year that wild beasts appeared in the surroundings from time to time. It was also because of these fertilizers that Feng Ling¡¯s back garden grew to its current state.


    After the appearance of the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±, Feng Ling understood that there might be some magical things in this world.


    These existences might not be explained by current science, but he had never paid much attention to them.


    He was just a simple blacksmith. All he wanted to do was develop better casting techniques and forge better instruments.


    Until today¡­


    He had to admit that the appearance of the three fox demons had a huge impact on him.


    That was a fantasy creature that only existed in legends and movies. Today, it stood in front of him alive.


    According to the white fox, these demons were even divided into factions and organized!


    Feng Ling even suspected that some of these demons had already taken human form and mingled in the human world.


    Even though the white fox said that their cultivation levels were not high, and the reason why they could transform into human form was because of their racial talent, didn¡¯t that mean that if the other races were strong enough, they could also transform into human form?


    Thinking of this, Feng Ling felt a strong sense of danger.


    Therefore, shouldn¡¯t he pick up a portion of the rewards that he had obtained from the Equipment Strategy?


    At the very least, he had the ability to protect himself in this increasingly ridiculous world¡­


    Today was considered lucky.


    These three white foxes happened to be not strong. He had also obtained an Divine Power of the Eye called [Illusion Break]. He happened to be driving a car with a Bull Slaying Knife in it. He happened to know the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique.


    All sorts of coincidences allowed him to successfully escape.


    But what if it was that white-robed demon¡­ No, after he killed three of its subordinates, it would come looking for him sooner or later.


    Feng Ling took out his phone, thought about it, and put it back.


    Calling the police now was a good idea, but he had no way of proving that what he said was true.


    ¡®How do you mean?¡¯


    He said that he had encountered three fox demons who had cast an illusion on him, and he had killed them with a backhand slash?


    What a joke. Not to mention others, even Feng Ling himself wouldn¡¯t believe it if someone said this to him before today¡¯s incident.


    And what did he use to kill three foxes?


    A big machete about half a metre long?


    That would be torture.


    ¡°We have to think about it carefully.¡±


    Feng Ling shook his head and muttered to himself as he came to the back garden to find a good place for the three white foxes. At least he had unlocked a divine power, so he deserved this treatment.


    Then he returned to his room, took out a pen and paper, and began to organize the feedback he had received from the device.


    Other than the breathing technique that his master had passed down, it seemed that only the feedback reward from the weapon could allow him to have some extraordinary abilities.

    ¡°Cooking, farming, forging, butchering, identifying acupoints and meridians, dismembering cows, Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique, breaking illusions¡­¡±


    ¡°To deal with supernatural creatures like demons, my foundation is to increase my combat ability, so I have to focus.¡±


    ¡°The Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique can strengthen my physical fitness. The Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique allows me to fight in close combat. The Illusion Break technique allows me to see through illusions. The Pig Slaughtering Knife allows me to find flaws¡­¡±


    ¡°These are irreplaceable in battle. However, if I want to improve step by step, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to deal with the white-robed demon in time. If I want my strength to increase quickly, I¡¯ll have to rely on the feedback reward of the weapon strategy.¡±


    Feng Ling could not help but have a headache at the thought.

 Chapter 4

    These cultivation techniques and divine powers that could increase his combat strength were all rewards obtained from killing wild beasts.


    In other words, if he wanted to use the weapon to quickly increase his strength, he needed to use the weapon that allowed him to obtain these spells and divine powers to complete the kill.


    ¡°What a headache. Do I have to become a butcher?¡±


    Feng Ling rubbed the space between his eyebrows and couldn¡¯t help cursing the white-robed demon again.


    However, no matter what, this matter could not be avoided. If he wanted to deal with it, he could only make himself as strong as possible before the white-robed demon arrived.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the Pig Slaughtering Knife and the Bull Slaying Knife are both controlled knives. There aren¡¯t any slaughterhouses around either. Otherwise, things would be much easier.¡±


    He muttered under his breath, but Feng Ling was still prepared to try.


    He went to his room and carried a hiking bag. He packed some water and condiments, instructed Nine Rings, and set off with the Pig Slaughtering Knife and the Bull Slaying Knife.


    It got dark late in early autumn. Even though it was already six in the afternoon, the sunset was just right. The western horizon was red and beautiful.


    Feng Ling headed west and soon reached the bottom of the hill.


    The Divine Weapon Town was in the middle of two mountains, Copper Mountain and in the West, while Iron Mountain was in the East.


    Feng Ling¡¯s 20 acres of land was connected to Tong Shan. When he was young, he often came to Tong Shan to hunt.


    Copper Mountain was not tall or famous, but it formed a small mountain range. It covered a large area and the forest covered a wide area.


    Ordinary people did not dare to enter at all. Otherwise, once they got lost, it was hard to say if they would survive.


    In addition, in the past few years, they had advocated the protection of the forest and prohibited indiscriminate cutting. In recent years, the forest in Tongshan had also become more and more lush.


    On the other hand, the number of wild beasts increased, and the competition for survival became more intense.


    At least that was what the wind plume felt like.


    When he came to catch pheasants when he was young, he had to go one to two hundred meters deep to see the traces of pheasants.


    However, a few years ago, when he came again, he could already see some traces of activity of the lone wolf wild boar when he went 1,200 meters deeper.


    In the past two years, the situation was even worse. Every few days, wild beasts similar to last night¡¯s lone wolf would barge into his small courtyard.


    Occasionally, a few ignorant ones would run more than ten miles to the town, but most of them were captured and sent back to the forest.


    However, because of the frequent occurrence of this phenomenon, the officials also lifted a portion of the relevant ban.


    Humans could fight and kill if there was an animal presence that threatened their lives.


    Feng Ling came here today to increase her strength.


    However, he did not think that he was a butcher who killed indiscriminately. All his actions had to be rooted.


    ¡®Best case, self-defence.¡¯


    Hence, he took out his Pig Slaughtering Knife and walked straight into the forest.


    It wasn¡¯t the time for nocturnal hunters to be out and about. But in a jungle like this, there were always hunters.


    Feng Ling did not hide her tracks. She swaggered and hummed a little tune as she staggered through the forest.


    The accumulated leaves on the ground crackled as he guessed, and the tone of the little tune rose.


    Finally, a panting black boar appeared.


    Feng Ling looked in the direction of the wild boar, grinned, and suddenly shouted, ¡°You, come over!¡±


    His breathing was long, and his voice was like thunder, exploding in the forest and echoing in all directions.


    The wild boar¡¯s body trembled, and its eyes widened. It turned its head and looked straight at Feng Ling.


    Feng Ling held her right arm with her left hand and stretched out her right index finger, beckoning slightly.


    This action was not big, but it was filled with mockery. Even a wild boar could roughly understand the meaning.


    The wild boar snorted and rushed towards Feng Ling without hesitation.


    Seeing this, Feng Ling chuckled and turned to run.


    He was neither fast nor slow and was just on the same level as the boar. He was less than three meters away, but the boar could not catch him no matter what.


    Feng Ling ran for a hundred meters before suddenly stopping. Then, she turned around and slashed.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    In the forest, as the wild boar charged forward, blood splattered and scattered to the ground.


    Feng Ling kept his knife in position. Ten yards behind him, the boar crashed to the ground. On its side, a wound that had opened up half its body was gurgling blood.


    A real man never looked back at the ending.


    [The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has completed the kill. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has improved by 1 point.]


    Feng Ling gave herself 99 points, then put away her saber and turned around.


    He dragged the wild boar out of the forest. Along the way, the smell of blood filled the air, arousing countless greed.


    Feng Ling stopped by the forest and stood with her saber, waiting quietly.


    He prepared the bait and waited quietly for it to take the bait.


    At 8:50 p.m., Feng Ling sheathed his knife.


    The Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique increased by 5 points, the divine power of dismembering an ox increased by 3 points, and the Earth Essence increased by 3 points.


    It was a good haul, but Feng Ling frowned.


    He had eleven vicious wolves, two wild boars, and a python.


    Fourteen kills, but only eleven feedback.


    Feng Ling recalled carefully and realized that there were three wolves that were obviously smaller when they killed the wolf pack.


    ¡°So, there are conditions for the return of the weapon policy? And the ones I slaughtered before ran around the courtyard. They all fit the conditionsa€|¡±


    ¡°So what is this condition?¡±


    Feng Ling thought for a moment, and a guess appeared in her mind.


    Glancing at the time, the minute hand moved forward a bar.


    ¡°There¡¯s still time!¡±


    Feng Ling raised his saber and ran for a hundred meters. He suddenly jumped up and slashed down.


    The poor wild chicken was killed before it could react.


    ¡®Sure enough, no feedback.¡¯


    Feng Ling nodded in understanding. Then, she leaped and attacked again.


    The death of two more pheasants still did not bring any feedback.


    ¡°Excluding chance, that leaves the inevitable.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m right, those who can make the device give back should have ¡®evolved.''¡±


    ¡°Only by killing these existences that surpass ordinary species will the weapon policy return.¡±


    ¡°The reason why I thought that I could get feedback as long as I killed them was mainly because the ones I killed could reach the courtyard.¡±


    ¡°This also explains why that fox demon can increase the strength of a yokel by 5 points. It¡¯s because they¡¯re stronger and no longer belong to the level of wild beasts.¡±


    ¡°Sure enough, there are shortcuts in the world, but you can¡¯t be opportunistic. The slaughterhouse plan is ruined.¡±


    Feng Ling smiled bitterly, but that was a joke anyway, so he immediately calmed down.


    ¡°Humans can¡¯t be too greedy. Having the weapon strategy has already allowed me to grow at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people. The problem now is that I can¡¯t be prepared to judge which beasts have already evolved.¡±


    Feng Ling shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He walked home.


    But at that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him:


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    ¡°Mr. Feng Ling, what a good move.¡±


    The voice sounded like a man and a woman at the same time. It filled the surroundings, making it difficult to distinguish the exact location of the person who spoke.


    Feng Ling¡¯s expression did not change as he said loudly, ¡°They want to eat my flesh and blood, so I naturally can¡¯t be soft-hearted.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t worry, Mr. Feng Ling. Whether you fish for law enforcement or intend to slaughter, it has nothing to do with me. I¡¯m only here to ask you to forge a weapon for me.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure appeared in front of Feng Ling.

 Chapter 5

    Feng Ling frowned. ¡°Are you the Lord Bai Yi that the Three-Headed Fox mentioned?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, white and black robes, they are just a title. Just call me Bai Yi if it pleases you, Mr. Feng Ling.¡± The man in black laughed, looking very easygoing.


    Feng Ling frowned even more and asked in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary blacksmith. A demon like you, who exists in legends, has powerful magic power. Can you handle the weapons I forge?¡±


    Bai Yi sighed deeply. ¡°To be honest, Mr. Feng Ling, I happened to obtain a long saber forged by your master back then. The sharpness of the blade can increase my strength by half. Unfortunately, I fought with someone a few years ago and accidentally damaged the weapon. I searched everywhere, but no one could repair it, nor could anyone forge such a divine weapon.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, not long ago, I happened to obtain a kitchen knife. I was convinced that the person who forged the kitchen knife was the maker of the long knife back then. I followed the clues and finally found you.¡±


    Feng Ling was silent.


    This was really a possibility he had never imagined.


    If a kitchen knife could cause so much trouble, then he had sold a lot of farm tools and kitchen utensils over the years.


    ¡°The saber in your hand makes me even more certain that your forging strength is no weaker than your master¡¯s,¡± Bai Yi continued with certainty. ¡°Moreover, I brought new materials today. I believe it will allow the weapon to advance another level.¡±


    ¡°New material?¡± Feng Ling asked, distracted by the words.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s an ore that has just been excavated. It hasn¡¯t been announced yet. The officials have named it [Amethyst]. As long as you add a little in the forging process, you can give the weapon a special attribute.¡±


    ¡°What attribute?¡± Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Bai Yi chuckled. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to help me forge weapons, I¡¯ll naturally say it when the time comes. If you¡¯re not, then¡­ there¡¯s no point in me saying it.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I understand.¡±


    Feng Ling nodded slightly, but before he could finish speaking, he had already shot out and attacked.


    At some point, the Pig Slaughtering Knife in his hand had been replaced with a Bull Slaying Knife. He was like a phantom and arrived in front of Bai Yi in the blink of an eye.


    Pfft¡ª


    The butcher¡¯s knife cut into Bai Yi¡¯s neck without any obstruction. In the next moment, his white fur fluttered, and his original white clothes disappeared. Only a fox tail fell to the ground.


    ¡°Hehe, Mr. Feng Ling is so ruthless.¡±


    Bai Yi covered his mouth and sighed behind Feng Ling.


    ¡°Mr. Feng Ling, can you comment on my substitute technique?¡±


    ¡°All I can say is, it sucks.¡±


    The Pig Slaughtering Knife cut into the Bai Yi¡¯s back and protruded from his chest.


    Only at this moment did the figure holding the Bull Slaying Knife disappear, and the Bull Slaying Knife fell to the ground.


    Bai Yi¡¯s eyes widened in anger. With a sharp scream, his cultivation surged and his essence energy penetrated his body, directly breaking the Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    Feng Ling was also sent flying by his sudden move. She felt the blood in her entire body surge and her chest tighten.


    ¡°I want you dead!!¡±


    Bai Yi had lost his calm composure. His voice was low but sharp. He was clearly furious.


    He raised his hands, and faint blue light appeared on his fingertips.


    Even Feng Ling¡¯s expression couldn¡¯t help but change when he saw this scene. This kind of special effects that only appeared in movies and dramas was personally produced by the demon in front of him.


    ¡°I¡¯m in the Low Level Martial World. Are you f*cking playing fantasy with me here?¡±


    Feng Ling cursed and did not dare to delay. He got up and rushed towards Bai Yi.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth Crossing!!¡±


    Three illusory small cauldrons stacked on his body, covering the surface of his body with bronze and mysterious patterns afte Feng Ling activated it with all his might.


    ¡°Dismembering Bull!¡±


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    He circulated his divine power. At this moment, patterns seemed to appear on Bai Yi¡¯s body, but they were very blurry.


    Feng Ling knew that this was because this divine power had just been mastered and was not considered proficient.


    But at this moment, it was enough.


    This was because Feng Ling saw a large red dot on Bai Yi¡¯s heart. That was Bai Yi¡¯s greatest flaw.


    When Bai Yi saw Feng Ling rushing over, he sneered and extended his fingertips to grab Feng Lin.


    BANG!


    A muffled sound echoed in the forest, startling countless birds.


    Bai Yi¡¯s eyes bulged as he stared ahead in disbelief.


    One of Feng Ling¡¯s palms had passed through around his chest area.


    He could never have imagined that Feng Ling could actually withstand his attack and get close to him; he also could not have imagined that he would die at the hands of such a small human.


    ¡°I¡¯m a hundred-year-old demon¡­¡±


    Plop.


    Bai Yi died, turning from a human to a black wolf. Feng Ling lost his support and fell to the ground.


    After some time, a black dog with green eyes and a tongue stuck out walked over. It sniffed left and right and finally locked its gaze on Feng Ling.


    However, before it could bite, a hand holding the blade slid down its neck.


    After more than half an hour, Feng Ling threw away the broken sword in his hand and sat up.


    Feng Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and saw the black wolf beside him.


    ¡°I was wondering why I didn¡¯t smell that fox stench from you. It turns out that he¡¯s not a fox at all.¡±


    ¡°But your level of cunning isn¡¯t inferior to a fox at all. You can even deceive those three white foxes. What Iron Mountain? Pfft!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a demon, and your cultivation is successful, but I¡¯m not bad either. You might not believe it, but I still have more than 50 kilograms of weight on me¡­ Fortunately, I haven¡¯t removed it. Otherwise, I really wouldn¡¯t be able to block it¡­¡±


    ¡°You deserve this outcome. You didn¡¯t even learn how to speak clearly like a human. You still have to use such a tone when you speak nonsense. Someone like you will be scolded to death by the keyboard immortals.¡±


    ¡°Cricket, if you don¡¯t have that material you mentioned, I¡¯ll drag you back for fertilizer.¡±


    ¡°This is really embarrassing. Yesterday, I worked overtime because of that three-headed fox, and today, I worked overtime because of you. How detestable!¡±


    Feng Ling complained fiercely and vented the fear in his eart.


    He had almost died together with it just now. He had really been close.


    The feeling of having half a foot in the grave was chilling.


    After recovering some strength, Feng Ling grabbed the black wolf and began to search for the materials that Bai Yi had mentioned.


    However, after searching for a long time, other than its fur, there was nothing else.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±

    Feng Ling was about to curse when he suddenly saw a small bag where the black wolf had been.


    The bag was palm-sized and tied with string. It looked as dull and gray as grandmothers¡¯ favorite cloth purse from earlier eras. It was unremarkable.


    Feng Ling confirmed that he did not have such a bag. That could only be brought here by Bai Yi.


    He grabbed it and opened it. A few fine particles with purple light came into view, like purple fireflies in the night.


    [Unlock Material, Purple Crystal]

 Chapter 6

    Windrush was delighted to see a prompt suddenly flash in ¡°Weapon Strategy.¡± ¡°Amethyst?¡±


    He focused and opened the Tool Policy in his mind. In the [Materials section], the Purple Crystal¡¯s information had already appeared.


    [Amethyst: When added to the forging, it can make the instrument hard and soft.]


    ¡°It can make instruments hard and soft?¡±


    Feng Ling pondered these words carefully, his eyes growing brighter.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard and soft at the same time. Does that mean it¡¯s both hard and tough and flexible?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s rumored that there was soft armor made of golden silk in ancient times. It was made of special materials and was light and soft. It could also allow people to have good defense. However, that was in the era of cold weapons. If modern firearms hit the body, without enough hardness, the pure impact could probably kill people.¡±


    ¡°And modern body armor can withstand the impact of bullets. While its defense increases, so does its hardness. Therefore, it can only be made into a vest to ensure as much mobility as possible.¡±


    ¡°If the Purple Crystal¡¯s effect is as I think it is, can I create a protective armor that combines the advantages of the two?¡±


    ¡°Even though this sounds unbelievable, demons have appeared. It¡¯s not unusual for a few magical materials to appear, right?¡±


    Feng Ling was filled with energy at the thought, but as soon as he stood up, his legs buckled and he sat back down.


    Feng Ling took out a small communicator from his waist with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s not broken yet. Fortunately, I had the foresight to put it in this position. Otherwise, with the impact just now, it would have been restored long ago.¡±


    After Feng Ling issued a series of instructions on it, he placed it back to its original position.


    Not long after, the sound of a car came. Two headlights shone on Feng Ling from afar.


    The pickup truck was getting closer. A mechanical arm on the driver¡¯s side was holding the wheel. When it saw the wind plume, it stuck out a thumb, then turned and pointed its fingertips down.


    Feng Ling maintained a smile. When the car arrived, he asked Nine Rings to ¡°capture¡± him into the car. He then instructed Bai Yi and the corpses of the wild beasts he had killed previously to be thrown into the truck bed. He picked up the Bull Slaying Knife and the pieces of the Pig Slaughtering Knife before returning home.


    ¡®I¡¯ll half the overtime pay in view of your behaviour just now.¡¯


    After saying that, Feng Ling walked into the room to take a shower and sleep. Only the mechanical arm stayed in place for a long time before raising its middle finger at the door and going to deal with the mess in the car.


    Early in the morning, Feng Ling woke up on time. Even though a few parts of her body still hurt, the morning was the fastest time to strengthen the warm current in her body. Naturally, she could not waste it.


    With the help of the breathing technique, Feng Ling began to follow the healing posture in the ¡°Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique¡± and prepared to repair his body.


    He didn¡¯t know if it was because the breathing technique was magical, or because the body-tempering divine technique, Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique, was powerful, or if the two of them had undergone some unbelievable changes.


    After completing the twelve postures, Feng Ling felt refreshed. Not only did the pain completely disappear, but the injuries in her body had also healed to 80%. There was also new progress in the Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique.


    The ¡°Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique¡± was a body-tempering technique that came from a weight-bearing ring forged from Feng Ling.


    As long as Feng Ling was wearing the weight-bearing ring, the ¡°Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique¡± would constantly improve. Unfortunately, this cultivation technique was too profound and the progress was too slow.


    The ¡°Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique¡± was divided into several major realms. Feng Ling was currently in the first realm¡ªNine Cauldrons.


    According to the introduction, the progress of the first realm was very simple. When one could materialize the nine cauldrons, it would be considered successful.


    Feng Ling was only at the ¡°Three Cauldrons¡± realm yesterday. After killing Bai Yi yesterday, he had barely forged the fourth cauldron. This morning, in just half an hour, the fourth cauldron had condensed.


    This progress was comparable to him naturally improving by wearing a weight-bearing ring for a month.


    Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that the Breathing Technique had such a strong auxiliary effect on the Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique¡­


    At this moment, he might be able to condense the nine cauldrons and enter the next stage.


    If he had the defense of the Nine Cauldrons, the big move that Bai Yi had created last night would really be enough to break through his defense.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    ¡°But it¡¯s not too late. I¡¯ll fix the weight-bearing ring later. Double-barreled. Let¡¯s pile up the defenses first.¡±


    After a life and death battle, Feng Ling personally felt how important it was to have a powerful defense.


    No matter how powerful Bai Yi¡¯s hands were, his chest was still pierced through by a Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    After the morning exercise, Feng Ling directly repaired the damaged part of the weight-bearing ring from yesterday.


    At this moment, his weight-bearing ring was indeed over 50 kilograms. With his current physical fitness, this level was a little light. However, the production of weight rings was very troublesome. It was not something that could be completed in a short time.


    Feng Ling put on the weight-bearing ring again, stretched his body, and set off.


    He chose to run instead of driving today.


    This world was so dangerous now. He could not let go of any opportunity to become stronger.


    It turned out that the more physical energy one consumed while wearing a weight-bearing ring, the more feedback they would receive.


    When he arrived at the shop, Feng Ling did not stay idle. He began to think about how to better use the Purple Crystal.


    Making armor was just an idea, but what other materials should be used, the specific use and ratio of the Purple Crystal, all of these needed to be studied.


    It was also important to eliminate some general errors from the theory before actually doing it.


    In the drawing room, the light suddenly converged.


    Feng Ling looked up and realized that the sky outside the door was actually dark.


    He glanced at the small watch beside him. It was only ten in the morning. It should be the time when the sun was high in the sky.


    After taking a closer sniff, Feng Ling could not help but frown.


    It didn¡¯t taste right.


    It was not that he had any sense of smell, but the smell in the air was clearly the strong smell of blood.


    But it wasn¡¯t the smell of fresh blood. It was like a nauseating stench after holding it in an enclosed space all night.


    Feng Ling had killed many wild beasts in recent years and was very sensitive to this smell.


    Most importantly, as the black fog spread, he actually sensed that the blood qi in his body was being pulled by a strange force and was about to flow out.


    Instead of driving today, Feng Ling stepped on a floor tile and a secret compartment suddenly opened under the counter. A Six-Faced Han sword flashed with a cold light.


    Feng Ling took it in his hand and headed for the door.


    At the same time, an army had already begun to evacuate and surround the town.


    At the front, a lieutenant frowned and stared at the black fog in the sky.


    Beside him was a middle-aged man in a black trench coat with a cigar in his mouth.


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    ¡°When will the reinforcements arrive?¡± The lieutenant asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡± The middle-aged man blew out a cloud of smoke and handed the cigar to the lieutenant beside him. ¡°I¡¯ll go in first. Keep the cigar for me.¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s a ranked demon. And you have a ranked demon artifact. You¡¯re only level seven. You¡¯ll be courting death if you go in.¡±


    ¡°The Support is Thunder Squad. He¡¯s fast, and I have a trump card¡­ If I don¡¯t go in, you know better than I do what happens to this whole town.¡±


    The middle-aged man handed over the cigar. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll come out and finish smoking¡­ Forget it, I won¡¯t stick such a flag. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

 Chapter 7

    The lieutenant glanced at the man, took the cigar, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s make it clear in advance that if necessary, I will carry out firepower coverage.¡±


    ¡°I do.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Liu Zhongyi, may your body and mind be strong and not be tainted!¡± The lieutenant thumped his chest with his right hand and gave his blessings.


    He knew some things and knew more about the dangers than the average person.


    Liu Zhongyi waved his hand and walked into the darkness.


    Looking at the man¡¯s background, the lieutenant pinched his cigar and solemnly ordered.


    ¡°Pass down the order. Get ready to fire!¡±


    In the black fog, Liu Zhongyi muttered softly and moved forward.


    ¡°Even though the flag can¡¯t be inserted randomly, Liu Zhongyi, you have to know that you have to be prepared today.¡±


    He took out a soft sword from his waist and swung it gently. It buzzed. At the hilt, there were two lines of small words: My heart is firm and I won¡¯t take half a step back.


    He was neither fast nor slow. As he advanced, his aura condensed.


    He wasn¡¯t sure he could handle a ranked demon.


    However, he couldn¡¯t watch this town fall. At least, not without doing something.


    The demon¡¯s location was easy to determine. The center point of the black fog was where the demon was.


    Other than the area shrouded in black fog, the other residents had already been moved. At this moment, the streets were empty. The autumn wind blew, stirring up fallen leaves and debris.


    Feng Ling held the Six-Faced Han Sword in his hand, and light surged in his eyes. His Illusion Break divine power allowed him to see in the darkness.


    As he moved forward, the nauseating smell grew stronger.


    The street was quiet. There were no sounds but Feng Ling¡¯s footsteps.


    Feng Ling was not too nervous in the darkness.


    Even though the fellow in front had caused quite a commotion, his aura was much weaker than Bai Yi¡¯s last night.


    Of course, Feng Ling wouldn¡¯t let his guard down.


    Those who were careless would not end well. Yesterday¡¯s Bai Yi was a living example.


    Moreover, he knew too little about these demons and ghosts. If the other party had any legendary Dharma artifacts or treasures, the threat level would increase by an unknown level.


    Even someone as powerful as Sun Wukong was called in by the Purple Gold Gourd.


    Finally, around the corner, Feng Ling saw a figure.


    This figure was extremely tall, two meters away. His upper body was bare, and his muscles were knotted. However, his skin was dark, and only his long blood-colored hair fluttered in the wind.


    At this moment, he was holding a blood-colored bead with both hands. The rolling black fog in the sky was coming out of the bead.


    And when he saw the bead, there was a sudden reaction from the Equipment Strategy.


    [Boundary Key¡ªFly¡¯s Blood Bead]


    A Blood Bead from a fly?


    Feng Ling was stunned. This was the first time he had seen the Equipment Strategy react to a certain item.


    However, there was no time to study this now. The main reason was the burly culprit in front of him.


    When Feng Ling saw him, the figure also became aware of Feng Ling.


    He suddenly turned around. He was wearing a ghost mask. His face was green and his fangs were sharp. He was terrifying.


    With the enhancement of [Illusion Break], Feng Ling saw invisible blood threads gathering towards the blood bead from all directions.


    The blood-colored threads were injected into the figure¡¯s body again, replacing the black fog.


    And the source of these blood-colored threads was the surrounding residents.


    Feng Ling roughly understood what this guy was doing. This guy was probably using this blood-colored bead to modify himself.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    However, this modification required blood as a catalyst. As for this bead, it was a ¡°replacement device¡± for this modification process.


    At the same time, during this exchange, the blood bead also ¡°squeezed¡± a portion of the blood-colored threads and turned them into its own.


    ¡°Unorthodox!¡±


    Feng Ling snorted coldly. He was the successor of the Armament Workshop and knew very well that there was no such thing as good or bad weapons.


    ¡°Little ant, you¡¯re courting death!¡± the masked man said in a low and hoarse voice that contained intense killing intent.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ling felt a suction force. The blood qi in her body actually wanted to break free from her body and head towards the blood pearl.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Feng Ling snorted coldly. A bronze cauldron enveloped his entire body, and the blood qi in his entire body immediately quietened down and was no longer guided.


    The masked man was slightly surprised when he saw this, but he immediately increased his strength and directly activated his essence energy to control the blood bead.


    The blood pearl immediately glowed red and the suction force increased greatly. Feng Ling felt it the most vividly. The blood in his entire body was like a river that was blown by a violent wind. At this moment, waves surged and huge waves rose.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    Another two bronze cauldrons appeared and suppressed the blood essence.


    Feng Ling did not dare to delay any longer. He had the ability to resist this suction force, but the surrounding residents were like fish on a board. At this rate, in less than three minutes, the surrounding people would probably be sucked dry.


    He could tell that the masked man must have used some method to increase the power of the blood bead. However, since the masked man didn¡¯t do this at the beginning, it meant that this method either had a time limit or consumed too much energy.


    Feng Ling leaned towards the latter because with the enhancement of [Illusion Break], he could clearly see that the blood beads were no longer sending blood lines to the masked man. Instead, they were quietly absorbing in the opposite direction.


    Divine Power: Dismembering Bull!


    Feng Ling held the Six-Faced Han Sword and activated his divine power. However, the person in front of him was actually blurry. He could not see any weakness at all.


    However, this did not affect Feng Ling. If there were no weaknesses, he would hit them.


    The Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique brazenly attacked the masked man.


    Even though this was a saber technique, the Six-Faced Han Sword¡¯s body was thick and wide. The forging material was even tempered by modern technology and ancient methods. It was extremely tough.


    The Eight-Sided Han Sword was still the pinnancle of sword forging in ancient times. It was the widest and most destructive.


    The Four-Faced Han Sword was light.


    The Six-Faced Han Sword was between the two, but in terms of pure power, it was the strongest of the three.


    The speed of the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique exceeded the masked man¡¯s imagination.


    In addition, Feng Ling instantly suppressed his vital energy and blood, making him a little dazed. By the time he reacted, the sword tip was already in front of him.


    However, he was a veteran after all. Several layers of black light instantly appeared around the masked man to block the attack of the Six-Faced Han Sword.


    The black light shattered layer by layer, but it gave the masked man a chance to breathe.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the sword momentum was about to end, he retreated and swallowed the blood bead. He took out a black dagger from his waist and blocked the blade.


    Even though it was a dagger, compared to the masked man, this human-shaped demon was tall. This dagger was more like a short sword.


    Feng Ling did not expect to succeed in one strike. She waved her sword and stabbed out diagonally with ¡°Pig Slaughtering Throat¡±.


    At this moment, the masked man had truly entered a combat state. He was a ranked expert, and the essence energy in his body could already be attached to his weapon.


    Coupled with the fact that his dagger was made of superalloy material, he was confident that he could destroy Feng Ling¡¯s Han Sword while blocking the attack.

    Ding!


    The small dagger blocked the thick Han sword, and sparks flew. The two sides began to wrestle with each other.


    The masked man had transformed into a demon, and his physique was already very different from ordinary people. Coupled with the enhancement of essence energy, in terms of pure strength, he was already extraordinary.


    As for Feng Ling, she had been tempering her body with the mysterious breathing technique since she was young and had been forging iron all year round. There was no need to mention her physique. After reaching the four cauldrons realm, not only was her defense astonishing, her blood qi was also as vigorous as a river.


    Both sides were in a deadlock at this moment, and no one dared to act rashly.

 Chapter 8

    Feng Ling¡¯s face was red, and his veins were bulging. His clothes were already torn by the surging qi and blood.


    In comparison, his strength was still inferior to this inhuman existence.


    However, at this moment, he could not retreat. He could only grit his teeth and persevere.


    Their stalemate was too small. If they were careless, the other party¡¯s weapon would land on them.


    ¡°You will die!¡± the masked man roared angrily.


    However, Feng Ling was not affected. Her eyes were clear and she kept thinking about ways to break out of this situation.


    However, after thinking about it, he realized that his combat strength was indeed not very strong.


    Be it the divine power ¡°Dismembering Bull¡± or ¡°Illusion Break¡±, they were all auxiliary abilities that were not effective on this masked man.


    He only had the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique and Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique other than that and he had already used them.


    ¡®Ha!¡¯


    The masked man suddenly exerted strength while Feng Ling was pondering, causing Feng Ling to lose his balance for a moment and almost be overturned to the ground.


    Gale took a deep breath and steadied himself. At the same time, his eyes lit up.


    Breathing technique!


    To be precise, it was the warm current cultivated through the breathing technique.


    Feng Ling had given it a name¡ªSpirit Power.


    When he was young, most of the stories his master told him involved immortals, Buddhas, and demons. Vital Spiritual Force also seeped into his mind.


    In fact, his spiritual power had already participated in the battle just now.


    However, unlike the energy on the masked man in front of him, the spiritual energy in his body was more gentle and stable.


    His spiritual power kept circulating to help Feng Ling stabilize her blood and heal her injuries.


    However, Feng Ling rarely took the initiative to activate her spiritual power, and she had never thought of attaching her spiritual power to her weapon.


    Feng Ling had no experience in this aspect. He could only carefully try to circulate the breathing technique and divert a portion of his attention to try to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body.


    Buzz!!


    The moment he summoned his spiritual power, the three cauldrons that covered his body roared at the same time and suddenly expanded.


    His spiritual power seemed to have found a point of strength. It followed the meridians in his body and headed towards the cauldron on the surface of his body and the Six-Faced Han Sword in his hand.


    The fatigue on Feng Ling¡¯s body disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of abundance.


    ¡°I walked the path of forging at the age of eight. I entered the forest alone in order to find materials. I didn¡¯t sleep for three days doing research. I can drink ice and snow in order to temper my body!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to become a Grandmaster Forger in the future!¡±


    ¡°Die? Why should I die?!¡±


    ¡°I. Will. Fight. Even. Ten. Of. You!¡±


    With a loud shout, Feng Ling used her waist as an axis and exerted strength from her entire body. The Six-Faced Han Sword approached forward.


    The masked man was caught off guard and the dagger in his hand was sent flying.


    Feng Ling attacked as he pleased. At this moment, it was as if he had learned it himself. He no longer adhered to saber techniques and stabbed forward.


    The tip of the sword stabbed into the masked man¡¯s chest.


    Feng Ling did not stop. He exerted strength again and swung up diagonally.


    The masked man let out a painful howl. In the next moment, his eyes widened in anger. His red eyes stared fixedly at Feng Ling. He actually stopped defending and tried his best to stab the dagger at Feng Ling.


    It was too close for Wind Feather to dodge.


    With a buzz, the fourth cauldron appeared on the surface of his body, emitting a faint bronze light under the enhancement of spiritual power.


    The moment the fourth cauldron appeared, the dagger had already stabbed forward.


    The pitch-black dagger erupted with a shocking blood-red light. The powerful energy fluctuation carried an unstoppable sharpness as it collided with the cauldron.


    The fourth cauldron shattered with a bang, and the third cauldron could not withstand it either. The surface of the second cauldron glowed with green light, but it was ultimately exhausted by the blood.


    Crack ~


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    The cauldron at the far end also shattered, but Feng Ling¡¯s attack was already completed.


    The dagger only cracked the cauldron in the end, but the Six-Faced Han Sword directly cut off half of the masked man¡¯s body.


    The masked man¡¯s eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment, but it was already over.


    Feng Ling panted heavily. He had expended a lot of energy in this last attack, and even most of the spiritual energy in his body had been consumed.


    However, seeing the black fog that had already begun to dissipate around him and sensing the faint aura of life, Feng Ling felt that it was still worth it.


    [The Six-Faced Han Sword you forged has been successfully killed. You have obtained the Spirit Concentration Technique, Eastern Purple Qi Technique.]


    A notification flashed before his eyes, and Feng Ling finally felt relieved.


    Feng Ling looked at the masked man on the ground and was thinking about what to do when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.


    He didn¡¯t have time to think. He pried open the masked man¡¯s mouth, took out the blood beads inside, and turned to leave.


    It was unknown if the person was an enemy or a friend. It was better to retreat temporarily.


    Feng Ling¡¯s figure disappeared into the black fog. A few seconds later, Liu Zhongyi ran over with the soft sword in his hand.


    He was shocked to see the corpse of the masked man. He looked around to make sure there was no one else.


    ¡°There¡¯s actually such a ranked expert hidden in this Divine Weapon Town?¡±


    He looked at the masked man¡¯s severed upper body and muttered under his breath, feeling both glad and solemn.


    ¡­


    Feng Ling returned to the shop and took out the fly blood bead. The Equipment Strategy immediately reacted.


    He kept flipping pages of Equipment Strategy in his mind until it stopped at a blood-colored page.


    There seemed to be the sound of chains breaking. The blood dissipated and a bead was revealed. It was identical to the fly blood bead in Feng Ling¡¯s hand.


    At the same time, two lines of instructions appeared: [Boundary Key¡ªFly¡¯s Blood Bead: The key to open the Blood-Robe Realm. You can use this to go to the Blood-Robe World.]


    [Forging Materials: Blood Firefly Stone, Blood-Robe Centipede]


    Feng Ling gasped when he saw the description.


    ¡°This inconspicuous little bead is actually the key to opening another world!¡±


    ¡°But it didn¡¯t say how to use it. There should be conditions for using such a thing, right? Why can¡¯t it be used just like that¡­¡±


    Before Feng Ling could finish speaking, he felt an inexplicable force suddenly coming from the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand.


    The next moment, Feng Ling disappeared into the shop.


    Two streets away from the Armament Workshop, a woman holding a mirror frowned and sighed softly. ¡°Another one.¡±


    ¡­


    Feng Ling felt the world spin. When he regained his senses, his vision had already turned blood red.


    ¡°This, this, this¡­¡±


    Feng Ling was stunned. A curse was stuck in her throat and she couldn¡¯t help but spit it out.


    He looked down at the fly blood bead in his hand. Was it really voice-controlled?


    Was it really a good idea to turn something so dangerous into a voice-activated thing?


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t tell me we can¡¯t get out?¡±


    However, in the next moment, the feeling from before attacked again. Before Feng Ling could react, his vision flashed and he returned to the shop.


    ¡°Erm¡­¡±


    Feng Ling was a little speechless. This voice control was quite useful.

    But soon he was excited.


    ¡°This is a different world. A different world. Will there be more magical materials?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, since this Fly¡¯s Blood Bead reacted so quickly, it can at least ensure that we can leave quickly when we encounter danger.¡±


    ¡°Even though it was only for a short period of time just now, there shouldn¡¯t be any major problems with the air, and there¡¯s no abnormal state on my body. However, to be safe, it¡¯s best to use spiritual energy to form a protective shield.¡±


    Feng Ling made some simple preparations, took the Six-Faced Han Sword, and entered the Blood-Robe Realm again.

 Chapter 9

    The world took on a terrifying blood-red hue. It was monotonous and blinding in terms of sight alone.


    Feng Ling wrapped himself in spiritual energy and carefully observed this world.


    Empty, without edge, like a prison without direction or end in sight.


    Feng Ling observed carefully as he walked.


    However, the Blood-Robe Realm did seem to be empty. Feng Ling walked in a straight line for half an hour and did not encounter anything.


    ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s really nothing in the Blood-Robe Realm?¡±


    Feng Ling muttered to himself. However, at this moment, his eyebrows twitched quickly and his body gave a warning.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡±


    Feng Ling was shocked. He hurriedly pinched the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead and returned to the Armament Workshop.


    After leaving the Blood-Robe Realm, Feng Ling immediately felt different.


    Unknowingly, several unknown insects had already crawled into his body!


    These little bugs were about the thickness of toothpicks and two fingers long. At this moment, they were happily drinking his blood under his skin.


    Feng Ling did not dare to hesitate. He activated his spiritual power and expelled a few insects from his body.


    These insects were completely transparent and were forced out of their bodies before falling to the ground like earthworms. One of them even bent its body and shot towards Feng Ling again.


    Feng Ling waved the Six-Faced Han Sword in his hand and cut the insect in half.


    When the insect corpse landed on the ground, it directly turned into blood threads and dissipated into the air, leaving no trace behind.


    [The Six-Faced Han Sword you forged has been successfully killed. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 5 points.]


    A notification came from ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±. Feng Ling looked at the remaining few insects on the ground in surprise. He did not expect their life level to be so high!


    At that moment, he no longer hesitated. He waved his sword continuously, and the Eastern Purple Qi Technique increased by 20 points.


    Feng Ling¡¯s eyes lit up. These insects were simply the best ¡°nourishing¡± products.


    ¡°This is a BUG now, haha.¡±


    Feng Ling held the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in her hand and entered the Blood-Robe Realm again.


    This time, he was on guard. This kind of insect was completely integrated with the environment in the Blood-Robe Realm and was difficult to discover. However, he had the Eastern Purple Qi Technique and could use the power of his soul to investigate.


    Not long after he left, he suddenly heard the sound of the Equipment Strategy flipping pages in his mind, followed by a prompt:


    [Unlocked Material: Blood Firefly Stone]


    [Blood Firefly Stone: A special ore produced in the Blood-Robe Realm. It is a necessary material to forge the Blood-Robe Realm Key.]


    It was a simple introduction, but Feng Ling was delighted.


    This was because according to the Equipment Strategy, there were more than a dozen Blood Firefly Stones in the area he could see.


    Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have a backpack. All he could do was take off his shirt, tie it into a package, and take all the Blood Firefly Stones with him.


    The Blood-Robe Realm had no direction to speak of. Once he left, it would not be easy for him to return. Therefore, Feng Ling would not let go of anything that he could take away on the spot.


    But just as he was about to move on, a cloud of transparent insects floated towards him.


    ¡®That¡¯s right. It came through the air.¡¯


    These insects were like fish in the water in the Blood-Robed World. This was the environment they were most adapted to.


    Feng Ling naturally wouldn¡¯t stand on ceremony with them. Spiritual energy flowed, and the Six-Faced Han Sword had already swept several insects into it.


    A series of notifications came, but two of them caught Feng Ling¡¯s attention.


    [You have completed the killing of the Six-Faced Han Sword you forged. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 10 points.]


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    [Unlocked Material: Blood-Robe Centipede]


    The Equipment Strategy was flipped again. A thin worm appeared on one of the blank pages of the Materials section.


    [Blood-Robe Guide: A necessary material to forge the Blood-Robe Realm Key after the death of a Blood-Robe Worm above the Metamorphic Realm.]


    Feng Ling reached out and squeezed, placing the corpse of a transparent Blood-Robe Worm in his hand.


    ¡°The Blood-Robe Guide is actually the corpse of this kind of insect?¡± Feng Ling looked at it carefully for a moment and didn¡¯t see anything special. He just put it in his pants pocket and temporarily kept it.


    However, he was more interested in the Blood-Robe Realm now.


    This was a good place. Not only could it allow him to quickly increase his strength, but he could also farm materials.


    It was probably a good dungeon for killing monsters to level up and obtain materials!


    Unfortunately, his soul was still not strong enough. After capturing and killing the last Blood-Robe Worm, Feng Ling knew that he had to go out.


    After giving the order, the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand reacted extremely quickly. In the next moment, Feng Ling had already returned to the shop.


    However, something unexpected happened. The Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand shattered.


    The originally round bead seemed to have gone through countless years of corrosion. The moment it came out, the last bit of persistence was blown away by the wind and it turned into powder that fell from Feng Ling¡¯s fingertips.


    Feng Ling opened his mouth, unable to react for a moment.


    He had just found a treasure room, but the key turned to ashes right under his nose?


    ¡°So, this Fly¡¯s Blood Bead is actually a consumable¡­?¡±


    Feng Ling finally had to accept this reality. Fortunately, he had already obtained the method to make the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead.


    According to the introduction in the Equipment Strategy, it was not difficult to make this Fly¡¯s Blood Bead.


    Speaking of which, he only needed three steps: refine the Blood Firefly Stone, refine the Blood-Robe Guide, and fuse them.


    However, one of the difficulties was that the ratio of the Blood Firefly Stone to the Blood-Robe Guide had to be just right.


    Unfortunately, ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± did not give him this ratio. Feng Ling still had to figure it out himself.


    ¡°Now that I have 17 Blood Firefly Stones and two Blood-Robe Guides, I have to be careful.¡±


    Feng Ling thought for a moment and prepared to go home to study the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead.


    From the looks of the current situation, the appearance of the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead undoubtedly opened up the fastest way to hint at his strength.


    The gains in these few short hours were huge.


    Comparatively, the Blood-Robe Realm was the best choice among the few choices.


    After all, there were satellites flying in the sky. It was fine to protect the small animals in the forest occasionally, but if they went often, they would attract attention sooner or later.


    Most importantly, the number of evolved beasts in the forest was also limited.


    Feng Ling found a backpack and opened the Blood Firefly Stone and Blood-Robe Guide separately. He found a clean shirt before leaving the Armament Workshop.


    At this moment, the blockade outside Divine Weapon Town had been lifted. Only the place where Feng Ling and the masked man were fighting was still guarded.


    Because it had only been a short time, even though the residents in the area enveloped by the black fog had suffered varying degrees of blood loss, they were generally fine.


    Of course, some of the older people did not have enough blood essence to begin with, and many of them were in danger.

    In addition, some special cases more or less caused certain deaths.


    However, the officials quickly gave an explanation to the outside world: There was a natural underground swamp gas under the Divine Weapon Town that suddenly erupted. It contained a certain level of toxicity and would cause people to faint if they inhaled it. In serious cases, they might die¡­


    In short, this matter was resolved on the same day. Other than the people in the Divine Weapon Town, it did not attract much attention.


    Only some brief introduction of ¡°underground swamp gas¡± appeared on the news in Mu Liang City.


    The female host even warned the citizens to pay attention to the flow of air. Once they discovered anything abnormal, they had to call the police in time.

 Chapter 10

    Feng Ling returned home with her bag, planning to close for two days.


    Naturally, he didn¡¯t believe a word of the official statement. Moreover, when he slipped out, he saw some armed people. Even though this matter was officially over, there would be a lot of investigation following.


    He, the person involved, had better not show his face for the next few days.


    Moreover, he could also study the refinement of the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead these few days.


    Busy time always passed quickly. Feng Ling, who was far away from the vortex, did not attract much attention.


    Three days passed in a flash. Feng Ling looked at the bean-sized Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand and finally smiled.


    At this moment, there was also movement in ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±.


    On the page containing the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead, more introductions to it were revealed.


    [Boundary Key¡ª Fly¡¯s Blood Bead: The key to open the Blood-Robe Realm can be used to travel to and from the Blood-Robe Realm. It is divided into three levels. The top-tier Fly¡¯s Blood Bead can travel three times. The mid-tier Fly¡¯s Blood Bead can travel twice. The low-tier Fly¡¯s Blood Bead can travel once. When the number of times is used up, it will turn into powder and need to be reforged.]


    [Forging Materials: Blood Firefly Stone, Blood-Robe Centipede]


    [Method of Forging: 250 grams of Blood Firefly Stone: 1 gram of Blood-Robe Guide for smelting; Note: The quality of Blood Firefly Stone directly affects the quality of the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead]


    Only after reading the introduction of ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± did Feng Ling understand.


    These Fly¡¯s Blood Bead actually had different qualities.


    As a Forging Master who was very sensitive to forging weapons, Feng Ling naturally discovered that the Blood Firefly Stones were different.


    Even though he had been failing for the past three days, he had also recorded a lot of data.


    Now that he knew that the quality of the Blood Firefly Stone would affect the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead, he naturally had to make good use of the remaining Blood-Robe Guide.


    Feng Ling struck while the iron was hot. She turned around and entered the forging room again, using up all the Blood-Robe Guide in one go.


    Unfortunately, a Blood-Robe Guide was only about ten grams. Coupled with what he had wasted in the past few days, Feng Ling finally obtained a total of four fly blood pearls. One of them was top-tier, two were mid-tier, and one was low-tier.


    The inferior one was the one he had successfully tested. Even though its quality was not good, it was very meaningful.


    Therefore, Feng Ling planned to use it directly!


    After successfully researching the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead, Feng Ling¡¯s life returned to its former rhythm.


    Every day, nine to five, he opened a shop and went to work.


    However, he had slightly compressed the time he had spent resting and forging to explore the Blood-Robe Realm.


    What the Blood-Robe Realm did not lack the most were Blood Firefly Stones and Blood-Robe Guide, which also allowed them to have a complete supply of Fly¡¯s Blood Bead.


    The only thing restricting Feng Ling was his soul power.


    However, he also discovered something. His soul power was used every day like this, and the speed of his improvement far exceeded his imagination.


    Initially, he could only outline a rough outline before the burning sensation attacked. As his soul grew stronger, the burning sensation came later and later.


    Feng Ling had a feeling that when he could completely outline the scene of ¡°Eastern Purple Qi¡±, he would be able to reach a new level.


    The only thing that made him unhappy was that the wild beasts around him had gone crazy recently. One or two of them would come out almost every night.


    Feng Ling couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He carried the butcher¡¯s knife and walked around Iron Mountain and Copper Mountain respectively. However, he didn¡¯t find anything strange when he went a thousand meters deep.


    He didn¡¯t know it¡¯d already smelled him and hidden, or if there was another reason.


    The development of the matter was becoming more and more ridiculous. From an unknown day onwards, what appeared around his courtyard was no longer those slightly evolved wild beasts, but demon beasts!


    Because of Feng Ling¡¯s slash, ¡°Dismembering Bull¡± improved by 5 points.


    According to the fox, the same level as them were demon beasts. They had already left the ranks of wild beasts and entered the threshold of ¡°demon¡±!


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    Above that, those who could cultivate a human body were already true demons.


    Further up, they had human forms. For example, Bai Yi could be considered a great demon.


    Even though Feng Ling did not care about some things, the matters of demons were not child¡¯s play.


    He¡¯d finally deployed his own scouts¡ªair-camera small planes!


    However, Feng Ling did not gain anything for three consecutive days. Those demon beasts seemed to have appeared out of thin air without any traces.


    ¡°Could these animals have jumped out of the air?¡±


    Feng Ling sat in front of the CCTV and sucked air through his teeth.


    He had sent out five aerial cameras from the inside out. At the same time, he had set up a dynamic capture program. Within a radius of 1,000 meters, if there was any movement, he would lock onto it and track it!


    Time passed. Finally, movement came from one of the images.


    Feng Ling immediately looked at the monitor. In the air, a two-headed dog appeared from nothing to stand on the ground. It took only three or four seconds.


    ¡°F*ck you!¡±


    Feng Ling cursed. You really came out of thin air?


    Feng Ling looked again. Good lord, the place where the two-headed dog appeared was none other than his small garden.


    Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he ¡°fertilized¡± the small garden. This was because the wild beasts that came later were all treated as wild animals by him. They were either directly cooked or dried.


    In addition, autumn had arrived, and the vegetation in the small garden had basically withered. There was nothing to take care of.


    Not only did people have blind spots in their vision, but they also had blind spots in their thoughts.


    Even though Feng Ling had already come into contact with the great demon and human demon, his way of thinking was still based on the three views he had formed previously.


    The scene of the two-headed dog appearing in front of him had never appeared in his mind before.


    After the two-headed dog landed, its two huge heads swayed for a while before finally locking its gaze on Feng Ling¡¯s small courtyard.


    With two low growls, the two-headed dog directly jumped¡­ and collided with a shiny Bull Slaying Knife.


    Feng Ling would not stand on ceremony with this beast. He exerted strength from his waist and stepped on the wall. The ox-slaying saber had already cut open the two-headed dog¡¯s abdomen.


    He kicked the two-headed dog out of the courtyard wall again to prevent its blood from flowing into the courtyard.


    The two-headed dog made a few hoarse low sounds in its throat and completely stopped breathing.


    Feng Ling stood on the top of the wall and looked at the little garden, frowning deeply.


    Things had developed beyond his expectations.


    The two-headed dog was not a normal creature. The key was that this strange way of appearing had already touched the warning line in Feng Ling¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Do we have to call the police?¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Feng Ling jumped off the wall and began to explore the location where the two-headed dog appeared.


    The result was naturally nothing.


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    But what really surprised him was that the ¡°fertilizer¡± from before was also gone.


    Feng Ling hurriedly took a few steps back. If this place was really as he thought, then the danger was too great.


    The key was still uncontrollable.


    After walking twice around the small garden, he finally made a decision:


    ¡°Nine Rings, get up and work overtime!¡±

 Chapter 11

    After a busy night, Feng Ling also built a wall around the small garden.


    And just to be safe, he also set up surveillance cameras and other defensive measures around the wall.


    He¡¯d already decided he had to call the police on this.


    But before he could call the police, he had to prepare enough evidence.


    However, the development of things surprised him again.


    The next night, the demon beasts appeared again, but not from the small garden.


    Feng Ling felt her heart skip a beat. So I worked overtime all night and you¡¯re telling me I¡¯m not coming out of here?


    His anger surged and he directly beheaded the demon.


    Just like that, a month slowly passed. Those demon beasts were like wandering battles. They came out of the small garden these two days, ran out of the two mountains two days later, and appeared from some corner two days later.


    In the middle, Feng Ling sorted out the surveillance video and sent it to the police station, but there was no reply, and no one came to investigate.


    He had no other choice but to increase the scope of the surveillance and try his best to ensure that he could discover and kill any demon beasts that appeared.


    He could only kill one if one came and two if a pair came.


    The weather this year was also a little strange. It directly came from early autumn to early winter.


    If one looked at the temperature curve, it had gone from early twenties to below zero in just a few days.


    People also put on winter clothes early in the morning. The children of Divine Weapon Town were wrapped in big cotton-padded jackets, each of them looking like a big dumpling.


    At this moment, the Divine Weapon Town was no longer on guard. It had returned to its usual calm. Only when they chatted after dinner would they talk about how terrifying the swamp gas was. Which old man was unlucky enough to sigh for the loss of his life?


    Zeng Shiwu stood on the familiar street and looked at the stall selling fried dough sticks at the corner of the street. He could not help but smile.


    It had been ten years since she left Divine Weapon Town.


    The Divine Weapon Town had changed, but this unique smell of the land made her feel extremely familiar and excited.


    She would definitely protect her hometown well. As she walked, she swore to herself that she would never let the demons act recklessly here.


    As he turned the corner, Zeng Shiwu saw a shop called the Armament Workshop.


    ¡°The Armament Workshop¡­ Eh, I seem to remember it. It¡¯s a blacksmith¡¯s shop?¡± she muttered and turned around to walk inside.


    Feng Ling looked up and started when he saw the girl.


    ¡°Zeng Shiwu?¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡± Zeng Shiwu was a little confused. She was surprised that Feng Ling called her name.


    However, she really couldn¡¯t remember this person in front of her.


    ¡°Excuse me, but you are ¡­ ?¡±


    Zeng Shiwu was a little embarrassed. This kind of person called out your name, but you had no impression of him, especially in your hometown¡­


    She already had three bedrooms and a living room on the ground.


    ¡°In the second grade of elementary school. Not long after I transferred over, you were chosen by the sports team. You might not remember me. My name is Feng Ling.¡±


    ¡°Ah, Feng Ling, I remember, I remember!¡± Zeng Shiwu immediately understood when he heard the name. He clapped his hands and said in surprise, ¡°But you¡¯ve changed too much. To be honest, you don¡¯t look anything like when you were young.¡±


    A thin and weak figure appeared in her mind. At that time, Feng Ling¡¯s skin was dark, as if he had been smeared with pot ash all day.


    He also looked malnourished and looked easy to bully.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    Looking at the boy in front of him, he was tall and straight. He couldn¡¯t be considered very handsome, but at least he was much more pleasing to the eye than some popular idols. Coupled with his bronze skin color, he looked even more sunny and determined.


    It was just that his clothes were a little plain. If he went to the city to tidy up, he would be quite good-looking.


    He looked completely different from when he was young.


    ¡°Haha, men change when they get older. You, on the other hand, are exactly the same as when you were young.¡±


    ¡°Hey, the facial bones are like this. They can¡¯t change.¡± Zeng Shiwu waved his hand and then asked curiously, ¡°You opened this shop?¡±


    She looked around and saw that they were all some kitchen utensils and farm equipment. There were no tags.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m the one taking care of it now.¡±


    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s not right. You¡­ ahem, are you selling these?¡±


    Zeng Shiwu wanted to ask why Feng Ling did not go to school. According to their age, Feng Ling was either in high school or university now.


    However, she corrected herself in time. He was here after all, so he probably didn¡¯t go to school.


    As for the reason, in a town like Divine Weapon Town at the foot of the mountain, they were either poor or had gradually abandoned their studies.


    Even though it was compulsory education now, once one got into high school, it would cost a lot.


    Even with scholarships and various security funds, most of the time, this kind of tight living would change the thinking of the entire family.


    Unless the parents were very determined to support their children in school, a significant number of children would drop out after junior high.


    When Feng Ling saw Zeng Shiwu¡¯s appearance, he vaguely guessed what she wanted to ask, but he still said, ¡°Just sell these. They were all personally typed.¡±


    ¡°Ah, personally?¡± Zeng Shiwu was surprised.


    ¡°It was so dark when I was young. I practiced forging iron.¡± Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help but smile. He also thought of how he looked when he was young.


    ¡°Turtle, so you¡¯re still a blacksmith master now?¡± Zeng Shiwu exclaimed appropriately.


    She had traveled extensively over the years and had seen many craftsmen, but most of them were old people in their fifties.


    It was rare to see someone as young as Feng Ling.


    After all, these pots and pans were all mechanized now. If they were said to be handmade, they would probably be used to carry the finished products out to sell¡­


    ¡°How can I be considered a master¡­¡±


    Even though the two of them did not interact much when they were children, it was still pleasant to meet like this after so many years.


    The two of them chatted for a while before Zeng Shiwu said, ¡°By the way, let me introduce myself. I¡¯m now a constable from the Divine Weapon Town police station.¡±


    ¡°Oh, how impressive!¡± Feng Ling extended his thumb in heartfelt admiration.


    Zeng Shiwu was the same age as him. Logically speaking, she had just started university, but she had already started working in this system. It was obvious that she was outstanding.


    He just didn¡¯t know why the girl chosen by the sports team back then became a constable¡­


    Then, Feng Ling thought of another problem. It was not a good thing to come to the Divine Weapon Town to be a constable now!


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    The demon beasts that came out from his place from time to time were troublesome enough for him.


    Even though he cut them down like cutting vegetables every night, those demon beasts were actually very terrifying.


    When ordinary people encountered such an existence, no matter how many divine weapons they had, it would not be enough.


    That kind of existence that surpassed the level of ordinary life had already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people with just its speed and strength.


    When something really happened, people like Zeng Shiwu would probably be the first to be sent to investigate.

 Chapter 12

    After thinking about it, Feng Ling could not find a better way to remind Zeng Shiwu.


    Zeng Shiwu did not disturb them. He looked at the time and prepared to leave.


    Zeng Shiwu was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had just returned here and there was nothing at home.


    Instead of going to the mall, it was better to take care of his old classmate¡¯s business.


    The Divine Weapon Town was only so big, and things like pots and pans would not be easily damaged. Even though Feng Ling said that business was not bad, it was obvious.


    Two words were enough.


    ¡°Old classmate, are you responsible for delivering the things here?¡±


    Feng Ling did not understand, but she still said, ¡°I¡¯m responsible, but it has to exceed a certain weight.¡±


    Most of the people in Divine Weapon Town were old people now. It was fine for them to buy a kitchen knife and shovel occasionally, but it was a little difficult to carry a set of them. Therefore, Feng Ling would help take them home.


    ¡°That would be perfect. I¡¯ve just arrived. Would I choose a set of kitchen supplies from you?¡±


    Feng Ling laughed. ¡°Sure, I¡¯m not bragging, but my skills are excellent in the Divine Weapon Town! Moreover, I¡¯m in charge of repairing it for free. As long as it¡¯s taken from me and is not more than 50% damaged, it can be repaired for free.¡±


    Zeng Shiwu¡¯s eyes widened. She could tell that Feng Ling did not expect to open this shop to make money at all.


    Zeng Shiwu chose a set of spatulas, knives, and forks before scanning the code and paid for them. Then she sighed again. The things that Feng Ling was selling were really cheap.


    Even though some people who sold kitchen supplies online were cheap, the quality from the assembly line were not good.


    On the other hand, the price offered by Feng Ling was about the same, but the pot in his hand was stable. It looked good.


    There were no high-rise buildings in Divine Weapon Town. If the conditions were good, they would build a two-story building. If the conditions were not good, it would still be the original bungalow. At most, it would be renovated and expanded.


    Zeng Shiwu was in a bungalow two streets away. This was not her original home. In fact, she was also an orphan. She had originally lived in an orphanage. After being chosen by the sports team, she had left for the past ten years. Naturally, she would not have any property.


    Feng Ling put down his things and left. He still had to go back to watch the shop, and it was time for dinner. The situation might become very awkward in a while.


    Feng Ling naturally had to avoid it as much as possible.


    Zeng Shiwu sent Feng Ling away and took out a series of equipment from his suitcase.


    There was a wireless network card, a computer, headphones, and a hidden camera and recorder.


    Two words. Professional.


    At that moment, her phone rang. When she saw the number, Zeng Shiwu immediately stood up and answered the call.


    ¡°Shiwu,¡± a deep, middle-aged male voice answered.


    ¡°How¡¯s it going?¡± the man asked.


    ¡°Everything in the Divine Weapon Town is fine. I didn¡¯t find any demon aura, but I also didn¡¯t find any aura of a ranked expert.¡±


    ¡°Get settled as soon as possible. The Thunder Squad will go tonight to investigate the place in that email with you.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡± Zeng Shiwu subconsciously saluted.


    ¡°Be safe.¡±


    After the call, Zeng Shiwu did not plan to continue shopping. He ate some food and began to rest.


    The fact that the Bureau had directly sent out the Thunder Squad meant that they had taken that email even more seriously.


    ¡°Damn demon beasts¡­¡±


    As night fell, Zeng Shiwu suddenly woke up.


    There was no time to think. She turned over and rolled under the bed in a rather indecent posture.


    And where she was originally, a flying knife was stabbed into her in the next moment.


    ¡°Hehe, not bad, little girl. You¡¯re quite skilled.¡±


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    A short, thin figure had appeared in the room.


    He was wearing a ghost mask that only covered the top half of his face. He was gently licking a dart.


    The purple-black tongue swept across the bright dart, making one feel disgusted.


    ¡°Red Yama!¡± Zeng Shiwu¡¯s expression was solemn, and she knew that something was wrong.


    Even though she was one of the best among the younger generation, she had yet to enter the ranks.


    And every Yama was ranked. Even the Red Flame Demons, who specialized in assassination and sneak attacks, were no exception.


    In fact, because their methods were hidden, they were even more terrifying than the Green Yama¡¯s in some aspects.


    ¡°Hehe, little girl, you don¡¯t have to struggle.¡± The Red Flame Demon revealed a perverted and cruel smile. ¡°I happen to have a medium-grade Silence Talisman that lasts for a full ten minutes. I believe you know about the Silence Talisman, right?¡±


    Zeng Shiwu¡¯s heart sank even more.


    Of course she knew about the Silence Talisman. She could even draw it.


    This Silence Talisman was extremely magical and had unbelievable power.


    The lowest-grade Silence Talisman could turn an area of ten square meters into a ¡°soundproof zone¡±.


    No sound from outside could get in. No sound from inside could get out.


    A middle-grade Silence Talisman could expand to 20 square meters and cover a room.


    This Silence Talisman was not a high-level talisman, but it was quite popular in the market.


    It was said that there was once a tycoon who spent a lot of money to specially buy it to be used when making certain love. He did not have to worry about disturbing others at all, nor did he have to worry about being disturbed by others.


    With the small talisman, even if the outside world was destroyed, it wouldn¡¯t be my problem.


    Ahem, of course, this was just a dirty joke that was circulating around, but the effect of the Silence Talisman was indeed astonishing.


    But in front of him, Zeng Shiliu hoped that this talisman of Chiyan Demon was fake.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t even think about escaping. As long as you dare to step out of the room, I¡¯ll kill all the ordinary people around me! My fly blood bead isn¡¯t full yet!¡±


    The Red Yama¡¯s words made Zeng Shiwu furious, but his desire to escape weakened greatly.


    She knew that it was really possible for the Red Yama to do such a thing.


    No, not possibly, but definitely!


    Even though the Yama Kings had transformed from humans, their minds and rationality had long been devoured by demonic nature. They had long stopped treating themselves as humans.


    As long as they could increase their strength and achieve their goal, they did not care about anything else.


    Since he had directly used the Silence Talisman, it meant that after killing him, he had to kill as many residents as possible!


    Therefore, what he had to do now was to stall for time!


    Zeng Shiwu glanced at the wall clock. Six fifty.


    In ten minutes, Thunder Squad would be here.


    The leader of the Thunder Squad, Lei Ting, was a Level Eight expert. He should be more than enough to deal with the Red Flame Demon in front of him.


    Taking a deep breath, Zeng Shiwu prepared to launch a verbal attack.

    However, Red Yama was very cunning. He had guessed it from Zeng Shiwu¡¯s action of looking at the time.


    ¡°Why? Don¡¯t tell me someone is coming to support us later?¡± He chuckled sinisterly. Before he finished speaking, he had already shot towards Zeng Shiwu.


    As a ranked expert who was also good at sneak attacks, Chi Yan was very fast.


    Fortunately, Zeng Shiwu¡¯s reputation as a genius was not for nothing. His body moved horizontally, and after barely dodging Red Yama¡¯s attack, he pulled out the dagger at his waist and took the initiative to attack Red Yama.


    The battle had already begun!

 Chapter 13

    One was a ranked demon, extremely fast and good at sneak attacks.


    On one side was a human genius. Even though he had yet to enter the ranks, his methods were still shocking.


    The two sides exchanged dozens of moves, but neither side won.


    The Red Yama realized that this Zeng Shiwu was young, but was very strong. Especially in close combat and some methods, he also felt pressure.


    ¡°Little girl, it¡¯s a pity that you haven¡¯t entered the ranks yet. Now I¡¯ll show you the true difference between us!¡±


    The Red Yama chuckled, but his face was filled with ruthlessness.


    He had to kill Zeng Shiwu today. Otherwise, once this girl grew up, she would become another powerful enemy of the Yama.


    Black fog rose, and a powerful essence energy fluctuation erupted from the Red Yama¡¯s body.


    The dart in his hand was a little overwhelmed. There was a cracking sound from inside.


    However, the Red Yama didn¡¯t care at all. This dart was a general model and was considered a consumable.


    Zeng Shiwu¡¯s expression was solemn. She had a vague feeling that she would not be able to withstand this dart.


    She had some understanding of darts when she cultivated with her master.


    The most important thing about this dart was that its aura was locked.


    Back then, the Li family had an invincible flying dagger and shouted the slogan ¡°Little Li Flying Dagger, never misses¡±.


    The world thought that they had secret flying dagger techniques, but what was really powerful was their unique aura locking technique.


    As long as the aura locked onto the opponent, the darts would definitely hit.


    Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to have a chance to use darts in such a close battle.


    However, the difference between Zeng Shiwu and Red Yama was not small. At this moment, when he was enveloped by that unique aura, he felt his entire body turn cold and his limbs turn cold.


    As if she were already dead.


    This feeling was like being suspended above an abyss by a thread. Meanwhile, the Red Yama held a pair of scissors in his hand. Now, he only needed to move to control her life and death.


    Zeng Shiwu bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to recover some of her mobility. She retreated, thinking about what to use to resist.


    ¡°Hehe, die!¡±


    A trace of mockery flashed across Red Yama¡¯s eyes. Where can you run to in this narrow room?


    However, in the next moment, he was stunned on the spot.


    With a clang, Zeng Shiwu was sent flying and fell against the wall.


    But the key was that the dart was blocked by a black pot.


    The dart was stuck in the bottom of the black pot. Only the tip had pierced it. Most of the dart was blocked out.


    Some of them could not withstand the shock and flew out.


    ¡°How is that possible?!¡±


    The Red Yama shouted angrily. This was a dart that had been enhanced by his terrifying essence energy. Moreover, even though this dart was not ranked, it was still made of strong alloy and was shockingly strong.


    But now, it was blocked by a black pot?


    Zeng Shiwu was also shocked. This black pot¡­


    She only subconsciously picked up something that could block darts, but she did not have any hope.


    Could it block a fatal blow from a ranked expert?


    This black pot¡­ was a ranked, uh, kitchenware?


    ¡®Then¡­ what about this kitchen knife?¡¯


    Zeng Shiwu did not have time to think about why Feng Ling could take the big black pot. She decisively held the pot in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other and injected essence energy into it.


    ¡®Indeed!¡¯


    This kitchen knife was also a ranked kitchenware. It wasn¡¯t even yellow-grade, but Mystic-grade!


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    It had to be at least mid-tier Mystic-grade item!


    Red Yama was dumbfounded when he saw the girl¡¯s appearance. Are you a f*cking chef warrior?


    But what followed was annoyance.


    As a ranked expert, his fatal blow was actually blocked a black pot.


    ¡®How could he bear that?¡¯


    He turned his right hand and three darts appeared in it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how you block it!¡±


    Zeng Shiwu¡¯s eyes flashed with determination. If he wanted to defeat the Red Yama, perhaps now was an opportunity.


    A red light seemed to flash in her eyes. She suddenly rushed forward, her footsteps changing as the black pot in her hand blocked in front of her.


    Clang! Clang! Clang!


    ¡°Heh¡­ heh¡­ that¡¯s impossible¡­¡±


    Chi Yan¡¯s eyes widened as he looked down at the kitchen knife that had cut open his chest and pierced into his heart. His face was filled with disbelief.


    Zeng Shiwu did not give him a chance to speak again. She pulled out the kitchen knife fiercely and shot out hot blood. She directly beheaded the Red Yama.


    ¡°Master said that the only flaw in the dart was the moment it was shot.¡±


    ¡°At that moment, the door was wide open.¡±


    When Zeng Shiwu saw the fallen Red Yama, his nerves relaxed. He staggered and collapsed to the ground.


    Around her waist was a terrible wound, also bleeding.


    Of the three darts that Red Yama had thrown just now, one was blocked by the black pot, one was dodged by her footwork, and the other severely injured her.


    Fortunately, these were all within her calculations. Compared to the death of Red Yama, she could still accept the price.


    She struggled to move her body and found her backpack under the pile of lumber that had become scrap. She took out a roll of bandages and two porcelain bottles.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to use it so soon.¡± Zeng Shiwu smiled bitterly and bandaged himself. He had also exhausted his strength and lay on the ground.


    Before long, two men and a woman appeared outside the room.


    At the front was a burly man in blue. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and a righteous aura. He was the captain of the Thunder Squad, Lei Ting.


    Behind him was a young man, weirdly dressed, easily reminiscent of a mythical Bodhisattva¡ª


    He held a white jade bottle in his left hand. There was a willow branch in the jade bottle. His right hand was placed on the willow branch.


    On the right side of his eyes, there was also a green monocle. From time to time, lines of data appeared and disappeared.


    Team Thunder, Bai Run.


    The remaining female members of the team looked the most normal. Their tight black leather clothes outlined their curvaceous figures. Their graceful curves were astonishing, but it also made people worry.


    ¡ªWill this leather jacket bulge?


    She wore a black mask that covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, making it impossible to see her true appearance.


    ¡°Captain, there¡¯s the smell of blood. There are two high-temperature objects in the room, but only one has vital signs,¡± Bai Run reported as he looked at the lines of data in front of him.


    Lei Ting grunted. In fact, he had already seen the ruined Silence Talisman at the door.


    Without much hesitation, he pushed the door open.


    When he stepped in, he saw the chaotic scene in the room. A big black head that died with its eyes open, and Zeng Shiwu, who was lying on the ground unconscious.

    ¡°Bai Run, save her. Chen Hong, check the situation.¡±


    Lei Ting made sure there was no other danger before he gave the order.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Bai Run flashed to Zeng Shiwu¡¯s side. His glasses transmitted lines of data, allowing him to quickly understand Zeng Shiwu¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Her vital energy has been exhausted. Her internal organs have signs of being shaken. There is a large wound on her waist, but it has been bandaged. Her life is not in danger,¡± Bai Run said as he took out a willow branch from the white jade bottle and dripped the liquid inside onto Zeng Shiwu¡¯s mouth.


    Then, he put back the willow branch and waved his right hand in the air. A special energy enveloped Zeng Shiwu.

 Chapter 14

    The Thunder Squad was very famous. Among all the combat teams in Mu Liang City, they were also T1-ranked.


    This was because this team¡¯s abilities were very comprehensive. The team leader, Lei Ting, was in charge of combat, Ice Maiden Chen Hong was in charge of reconnaissance, and the Daddy-Nanny, Bai Run, was in charge of support.


    Moreover, they were quite strong in their respective fields.


    Especially Bai Run.


    It was said that there were only wrong names and no wrong nicknames.


    ¡°Daddy-Nanny¡± was enough to prove Bai Run¡¯s healing ability.


    In just two minutes, Zeng Shiwu woke up. Other than the large wound on her waist that affected her movements, all her other injuries had been healed.


    ¡°Yama is getting more and more arrogant!¡±


    After listening to Zeng Shiwu¡¯s story, Lei Ting couldn¡¯t help but snort coldly. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the corpse of Red Yama.


    He was certain, the Red Yama¡¯s goal was very clear. He was here to kill Zeng Shiwu.


    Otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have stuck the Silence Talisman directly on the door.


    However, he was too confident in himself and did not choose the assassination method he was good at. Instead, he wanted to tease Zeng Shiwu.


    Otherwise, a ranked Red Flame Demon would never fail to assassinate Zeng Shiwu.


    If Zeng Shiwu hadn¡¯t been lucky enough to have a ranked black pot and a ranked kitchen knife¡­


    Thinking of this, Lei Ting couldn¡¯t help but pick up the black pot and inject essence energy into it.


    ¡°Fifty percent energy consumption, mid-tier Mystic-grade?¡±


    Lei Ting sucked in his breath. As far as he knew, there were no more than ten people in the entire city who had mystic-grade weapons.


    The value of ranked weapons was beyond imagination.


    But right now, he was holding a mid-tier Mystic-grade black pot¡­


    He picked up the kitchen knife again and injected vital energy.


    Good lord, another mid-tier Mystic-grade item!


    ¡°What about the other things you bought from your old classmate?¡± Lei Ting could not help but be a little excited at this moment even with his temperament.


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s all here.¡± Zeng Shiwu naturally knew why Lei Ting was so excited and quickly pointed to the side.


    She had bought quite a few things from Feng Ling. A black pot, a kitchen knife, a vegetable spatula, a spoon, and two vegetable basins.


    Lei Ting took a step forward and checked them one by one. He was dumbfounded.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Captain?¡± Bai Run couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Other than the two vegetable basins, that vegetable shovel and spoon are both high-grade mystic-ranks¡­¡± Lei Ting said in a daze.


    ¡°Ah?¡± Chen Hong and Bai Run couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. Zeng Shiwu¡¯s little mouth was also slightly open in surprise.


    ¡®How much did you say you paid for it?¡¯ Lei Ting asked.


    ¡°Uh¡­ It was 98 yuan. He wanted to round down to 90 yuan. I insisted on giving him 95 yuan¡­¡±


    ¡°95 yuan ¡­ bought you four Mystic-grade items?¡± The few of them looked at each other and wondered if the world had gone crazy.


    If these four Mystic-grade items were all weapons, even if there were five more zeros to 95 yuan, there would still be people who would want to buy them.


    ¡°So, could your old classmate be a Master Forger?¡± Lei Ting guessed.


    ¡°Master Forger?¡± The other three could not help exclaiming, and immediately lowered their voices.


    ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be possible. We¡¯re the same age. He can¡¯t be more than 19 years old. Is there a 19-year-old Master Forger?¡± Feng Ling¡¯s smiling face flashed through Zeng Shiwu¡¯s mind. She couldn¡¯t believe it.


    But even so, if Feng Ling was not a Forging Master, who had the ability to forge four mystic-rank artifacts?


    ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s record this first. We can¡¯t delay the operation tonight. Shiwu. Don¡¯t go yet.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Zeng Shiwu wanted to fight for herself, but she thought that there was a high chance of a battle breaking out, and she might become a burden if she went in her current situation, so she did not say anything else.


    The Thunder Squad set off. According to an email that the police station had received earlier, they headed to the place marked by the email.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    Zeng Shiwu looked at the kitchen utensils and fell into deep thought.


    ¡­


    Feng Ling was dumbfounded when he received the notification.


    Because the hint went something like this:


    [The kitchen knife you forged has been used to kill. You have obtained 10 years of cultivation.]


    In the next moment, a majestic spiritual power surged out of his dantian and rushed to his limbs and bones.


    Feng Ling¡¯s hands and feet were in a mess because of this sudden spiritual power. This spiritual power was powerful and pure, causing the meridians in his body to ache slightly and be unable to withstand it.


    Feng Ling hurriedly circulated the breathing technique and assumed the posture of the Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique. He used the spiritual energy in his body to calm himself down.


    Fortunately, the spiritual energy was relatively gentle and stable. As it continued to circulate, it was also repairing Feng Ling¡¯s injuries.


    After a long time, Feng Ling stopped and heaved a sigh of relief.


    At this moment, his eyes were filled with light, and his aura was even more dense and restrained.


    His original spiritual power cultivation was only eight years, but he suddenly gained ten years. His strength more than doubled.


    However, he was also puzzled.


    The ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± gave feedback. It had been verified previously. If one wanted to obtain a return through killing, the person killed could not be an ordinary person.


    Or rather, it was a creature that had already begun to evolve at the level of life.


    However, the people who came to buy his kitchen knife were ordinary citizens of Divine Weapon Town. They basically did not have the chance to come into contact with such an evolved person.


    Besides, who would fight an evolved being with a kitchen knife?


    On second thought, that was not entirely impossible.


    After all, Bai Yi had come knocking on his door previously because he had obtained a kitchen knife forged by his master¡­


    ¡°Tsk, it¡¯s useless to think so much. I haven¡¯t gone to the Blood-Robe Realm today¡­¡±


    Feng Ling took out the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead and used voice control to disappear from the room.


    In the blink of an eye, the scene changed. Everything in front of him was already blood red.


    Feng Ling was no longer unfamiliar with the Blood-robe Realm. After exploring for more than a month, even though he still did not find any other creatures, he could be considered familiar with it.


    Unfortunately, the location of the Blood-Robe World was not fixed.


    Or rather, the terrain of the Blood-Robe World was changing.


    After his research, the change happened every twelve hours.


    At noon and midnight, respectively.


    Which meant that if they entered at 11:50, the landscape below them would change after ten minutes.


    Feng Ling had tried to mark it in the past, but all forms of marking disappear as the landscape changes.


    Therefore, every time he came in, he had to explore carefully.


    With the Bull Slaying Knife in hand, Feng Ling identified a direction and advanced.


    Under the envelopment of his soul, he quickly discovered a group of Blood-Robe Guides flying towards him.


    Feng Ling naturally did not stand on ceremony and directly took it down.


    But soon he realized that something was wrong.


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    Before this, even though the Blood-Robe Guides he encountered were also in groups, there was only one or two waves within a certain range.


    But now, in just a few minutes, he had already encountered three waves.


    Of course, his gains were not small either. He obtained a total of three Blood-Robe Guides and 180 points of progress in ¡°Dismembering Bull¡±.


    As he moved forward, he realized that something was indeed wrong¡ª


    His soul seemed to be blocked by something and was difficult to detect.

 Chapter 15

    Feng Ling hesitated.


    The Blood-Robe Realm was extremely mysterious. A worm like the Blood-Robe Guide, which could be seen everywhere, could completely hide its body in this world. Only a divine soul could detect it.


    Now, there was actually an existence in front that could stop the detection of the divine soul.


    If the probing ability of the soul failed here, it was no less than sealing a person¡¯s five senses.


    However, Feng Ling did not hesitate for long before continuing forward.


    After more than a month, he finally encountered something other than the Blood-Robe Guide. If he didn¡¯t investigate, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep tonight.


    Moreover, he still had the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand. If he really realized that things were hopeless, he could just leave.


    Clenching the fly¡¯s blood bead in his hand, Feng Ling headed towards the area that blocked the soul detection.


    Feng Ling killed two more waves of Blood-Robe Guides and found that his surroundings were already empty.


    The area that isolated his soul from detection was already in front of him.


    Feng Ling extended his Bull Slaying Knife and gently stabbed forward.


    Buzz!!


    Something¡ªsomething¡ªmoved.


    Then the entire ground shook. The ground under his feet turned to sand, and the mountain range disappeared.


    Not good, Feng Ling thought. According to his own time records, he had only been in here for half an hour. It was definitely not time for the landscape to change.


    In other words, there was really something ahead that had changed the landscape ahead of time.


    Feng Ling directly used the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead without any hesitation.


    But just as he was about to leave, a drop of blood caught his eye.


    BOOM!!!


    The Blood-Robe Realm began to change drastically, but Feng Ling had already left.


    But his expression was blank, and his body was even more motionless, maintaining the same posture as when he left.


    If one looked carefully, they would discover that there was a drop of blood in the center of Feng Ling¡¯s pupils.


    At this moment, Feng Ling¡¯s soul sea was being soaked.


    The blood spread like a terrifying virus, quickly spreading and devouring, occupying Feng Ling¡¯s original soul sea.


    Feng Ling was conscious at this moment, but he realized that he could not control his body.


    Under the blood-colored shroud, his soul seemed to have been added with a DEBUFF and was abnormally weak.


    Feng Ling seemed to hear a wonderful language that he had never heard before in his trance, but could vaguely understand its meaning:


    ¡°God¡­ Indescribable, unpeeping, unfathomable¡­ Accept Infection¡­¡±


    The voice was grand, as if it came from the outer realm, but also seemed to ring in his ears.


    With the enhancement of the voice, the speed at which the blood spread became faster and faster.


    Feng Ling had a realization: once the blood color occupied his soul sea, he would be completely wiped out.


    Feng Ling naturally wouldn¡¯t allow this to happen.


    In this situation, the only thing he could think of was the Eastern Purple Qi Technique.


    Using the soul as a pen and the soul sea as a cloth, a grand scene of ¡°Eastern Purple Qi¡± was slowly outlined.


    As the scene took shape, the blood-colored light seemed to be obstructed and stopped for a moment.


    There was something!


    Feng Ling was overjoyed and sketched even faster.


    The current Eastern Purple Qi Technique was already improved greatly. As he continued to draw, there was actually a faint purple qi growing from the east.


    Wherever the purple qi appeared, the blood color dissipated.


    The blood was suppressed!


    But it didn¡¯t last long. Soon, the familiar burning sensation came. Feng Ling knew that this was his limit now.


    On the other hand, the blood-colored light seemed to have intelligence. After being suppressed by the purple aura, it seemed to have been provoked and insulted. It was extremely angry.


    The drops of blood spun quickly. More blood spread and overlapped. The entire West glowed red.


    In Feng Ling¡¯s soul sea, it was like two armies were facing each other.


    One side was filled with majestic purple qi;


    On one side, red light surged into the sky, and the murderous aura was oppressive.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    However, the red light became denser, and the purple qi could no longer increase.


    Suddenly, the red light erupted with a strong light and began to spread violently.


    Feng Ling could no longer hold on. He had already consumed more than half of his soul power in the Blood-Robed World, so it was already quite difficult for him to outline half of Eastern Purple Qi.


    Without the support of Feng Ling, the purple gas was quickly driven away by the blood.


    ¡°F*ck, you¡¯re really bullying me on my territory, right?¡±


    Feng Ling gritted his teeth. Finally, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore and took out his killing move¡ª


    ¡°Equipment Strategy, come!¡±


    With a thought, the Equipment Strategy hidden in the depths of his soul sea flew out.


    After the drop of blood saw the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±, it suddenly trembled and the blood retreated, as if¡­ it wanted to escape.


    However, ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± did not want to give this opportunity. Moreover, Feng Ling seemed to have sensed a trace of emotion from ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±¡­


    ¡®Excited?¡¯


    Before Feng Ling could think further, she saw the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± begin to rattle and finally stop on a blank page.


    A magical scene happened in the next moment. The blank page flew out and enveloped the blood drop.


    The drop of blood was obviously defenseless. It was wrapped in a blank page and returned to the Equipment Strategy.


    Immediately after, Feng Ling received a few notifications:


    [Unlocked Material: Blood God Essence]


    [Blood God Essence: From the Blood God, the essence of the Blood God¡¯s power. It can be used to forge divine weapons.]


    [Unlocked Material: Divine Blood]


    [Divine Blood: Perfect Equipment Strategy]


    [Equipment Strategy Repair 1 point: You have obtained ¡°Immortal Concealment¡±]


    [Immortal Concealment: A divine artifact. It can conceal one¡¯s cultivation and aura. It can move at will and be at ease.]


    [Unlock ¡°Description Page¡±]


    The series of prompts stunned Feng Ling.


    Then, a terrifying soul power spread out where the blood bead disappeared.


    ¡°Again?¡±


    Feng Ling cried out in surprise, only to discover that the soul power was floating in fragments and was extremely pure.


    ¡°What a great opportunity!¡±


    Feng Ling laughed and did not stand on ceremony. He directly gathered the soul power and began to use it for himself.


    However, this soul power was too huge. Feng Ling estimated that even if he didn¡¯t stop, it would take at least three days to digest it.


    ¡°After completely digesting it, I should be able to enter the basics of my Eastern Purple Qi Technique!¡±


    After such a life and death experience, Feng Ling understood the importance of having a powerful soul.


    For example, that terrifying existence just now, no matter how powerful your blood essence was, I would directly destroy your soul and kill you from the root.


    Thinking of this, Feng Ling went back to flip through the series of notifications.


    Then he went numb.


    Blood God? Divine Blood?


    Feng Ling combined with that faint voice and thought of a terrifying possibility¡ª


    Could it be that he had poked a god in the Blood-Robe Realm just now?


    God? Are there Gods in the Blood-Robe Realm?


    And this kind of supreme existence in the legends directly chased out of the Blood-Robe Realm to kill him?


    Feng Ling gasped, realizing that he had somehow regained control of his body.

    But soon his nervousness dissipated and a bold idea emerged.


    Based on the situation just now, there was a high chance that the current Equipment Strategy was ¡°defective¡±. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have used the word ¡°repair¡±.


    And the Divine Blood was the material to repair the Equipment Strategy.


    As for the Equipment Strategy, it had the ability to ¡°eat¡± the Divine Blood¡­


    At this moment, Feng Ling wanted to fish.

 Chapter 16

    Feng Ling suppressed the dangerous thought in her heart. What happened just now was really a matter of life and death.


    Even if he wanted to fish in the future, he had to be stronger as a ¡°bait¡±. At the very least, he could not really let the fish eat him.


    However, Feng Ling could not help but click him tongue when he thought of ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±.


    ¡°What exactly is the background of ¡®Equipment Strategy¡¯? It actually needs Divine Blood to repair it?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°This is the inheritance treasure of our Armament Workshop. It contains a great opportunity. You have to keep it well.¡±


    After saying this, his master threw a black stone to Feng Ling.


    No matter how he looked at it, it didn¡¯t look like he was giving the ¡°inherited treasure¡±¡­


    However, neither of them expected that not only was there an opportunity, but it was really a huge opportunity.


    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s count our gains first. Fortune and misfortune come together. The ancients didn¡¯t lie to me.¡±


    With a thought, the reward for repairing the Equipment Strategy appeared in his hand.


    Immortal Concealment was a flag. It was triangular, with a yellow base, green sides, and black lines. Looking at it from the outside¡­


    To be honest, it wasn¡¯t very pleasing to the eye.


    ¡®But are they strong?¡¯


    Then he really deserved the word ¡°divine artifact¡±.


    The Equipment Strategy given by the weapon was very simple: a divine artifact. It concealed one¡¯s cultivation and aura and moved as one pleased.


    However, when Feng Ling really held this treasure, he understood its true strength.


    Or perhaps, he understood the meaning of the latter sentence better.


    As long as Immortal Concealment was on his body, Feng Ling could freely restrain all his cultivation aura and block all spying.


    The spying here was not only the legendary augury, but also remote detection in the physical sense.


    For example, satellites.


    For example, cameras!


    Could achieve the same effect as an invisibility cloak.


    And ¡°according to the situation¡± means that Feng Ling can adapt to the surrounding environment to the greatest extent.


    Raise a chestnut.


    Assuming that Feng Ling entered the water, Immortal Concealment could not let Feng Ling grow a pair of cheeks from his face, but it could allow his body to master water to a certain extent and not drown.


    Hold up another chestnut.


    If Feng Ling entered the swamp river, the miasma would make up for it. Then, Immortal Concealment would give Feng Ling the ability to block the poisonous miasma.


    Be at peace, be different, always be safe.


    The two functions are auxiliary, but undoubtedly greatly improve the security of Feng Ling.


    This also gave Feng Ling a deeper ambition to repair ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±.


    Of course, it was not for the reward of the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±. It was only because this was a treasure passed down from his master. He had the responsibility and obligation to try his best to repair it.


    Immortal Concealment was also magical. With a thought, Feng Ling disappeared from his hand.


    He had a habit of saving the good stuff for last.


    It was like this when they ate as children. It was like this now.


    He opened the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± and was indeed the greatest surprise.


    Equipment Strategy hadn¡¯t changed much, but it was quite meaningful.


    In the original ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±, other than telling Feng Ling what cultivation techniques and divine powers he had obtained when giving hints, everything else was a blur.


    But now, on the title page of the Equipment Strategy, it had actually become a ¡°Description Page¡±.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    There wasn¡¯t much information on this explanation page, but it indicated the realm division and current progress of all the cultivation techniques and divine powers that Feng Ling had obtained from the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±, as well as the number of ¡°vacancies¡±.


    For example, the [Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique] clearly displayed the realms after the Nine Cauldrons: Eight Gates, Seven Laws, Six Paths, Five Qi¡­


    The current realm and progress were also displayed: [Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique (Five Cauldrons) 505/600]


    Another example was the [Eastern Purple Qi Technique]. There were also clear realms divided: visualization, manifestation, body enhancement¡­


    Feng Ling was currently at the most basic level of ¡°Visualization¡±. However, his progress of (7,035/10,000) proved that he still had a long way to go.


    It was obvious that the level of the [Eastern Purple Qi Technique] should be extremely high. After all, Feng Ling had already digested a lot of the soul power left behind by the divine blood today before he could barely reach this progress.


    Feng Ling felt that if he digested the remaining soul power, he should be able to reach the realm of Manifestation.


    As for improving further, he would probably need a lot of time and energy¡­


    Or they could kill a large number of them!


    But there were always exceptions.


    Feng Ling realized that on [Cooking], [Agriculture], and [Forging Technique], it was still blurry. There was no specific numerical label.


    After counting, Feng Ling let out a long breath.


    The appearance of the explanation page did not increase his strength, but it was quite useful.


    At the very least, it allowed the Feng Ling to see a clear forward target.


    Most of the time, having a clear goal was very meaningful. It was far more motivating than running forward with your head down. Moreover, your sense of direction would be much clearer.


    Even though it could be expected that as his realm increased, the numbers behind would become larger and larger, and it would have the opposite effect, making people feel afraid.


    However, Feng Ling did not rely on this kind of killing to improve.


    The advantage of having a clear value was that his efforts could receive timely feedback.


    ¡°Let¡¯s work hard to become stronger. Forget about the demons and ghosts, even a god has appeared. Moreover, it¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s not a proper god. In a place like the Blood-Robe World, he might be an evil god¡­¡±


    ¡°Divine Blood¡­ I¡¯ve never heard of him. I wonder if the myths and legends Master mentioned are true¡­¡±


    Feng Ling muttered as she walked to the courtyard. Just as he was about to see if there were any annoying demon beasts on the surveillance cameras tonight, his soul sensed something.


    Bang! Bang!


    There was a knock on the door. Feng Ling looked up. On the surveillance screen, a man with a white jade bottle was knocking. Behind him, a man and a woman were looking in the direction of the camera.


    In the hands of the man in blue behind, there was a black python that had already stopped breathing.


    Feng Ling¡¯s soul was already extraordinary. He sensed that these three people had no evil intentions.


    He put away the Bull Slaying Knife and the other weapons and walked towards the door. He asked loudly, ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±


    ¡°Check the water¡­¡± Bai Run almost blurted out and quickly corrected himself. ¡°We¡¯re constables from the Mu Liang Police Station.¡±


    ¡°Constable?¡±


    Feng Liang had come to the door and opened it a crack. His gaze swept over the three of them before finally returning to Bai Run. ¡°What do you have to prove that you¡¯re a constable?¡±


    He asked the question cautiously, full of distrust of strangers.


    Bai Run revealed a sunny smile and raised his hand to show a certificate. At the same time, he explained,


    ¡°My name is Bai Run. The two behind me are Lei Ting and Chen Hong. For the sake of convenience today, we came in plain clothes. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check our information on the official website now.¡±


    ¡°One moment!¡±

    After a minute, Feng Ling opened the door again and said in a relaxed tone,


    ¡®So it¡¯s really the Constable Uncle. What brings the Constable Uncle and the Constable Auntie here so late?¡¯


    Uncle¡­


    Auntie¡­


    Seeing the 1.8-meter tall and strong Feng Ling, Bai Run¡¯s smile froze on his face. A ¡± ¡± appeared on Chen Hong¡¯s forehead behind him.

 Chapter 17

    ¡°Ahem, we received a report from the public that there might be abnormal creatures nearby, so we came to investigate.¡±


    In the end, the old general was still experienced. Lei Ting automatically imagined ¡°Uncle¡± as ¡°Brother¡± and explained.


    ¡°Ah, oops, you¡¯re finally here. I sent that email!¡±


    Feng Ling completely portrayed the excitement of an ordinary person who had discovered a ¡°big secret¡±.


    However, he was not pretending to be excited. For the past few days, he had thought that the emails he sent out did not attract the attention of the officials and was even quite disappointed.


    However, from the looks of it today, it seemed to be quite important.


    The middle-aged man who spoke was even stronger than the masked man back then!


    The two young men beside him were also quite strong. They were not ordinary constables at all.


    As he spoke, his gaze ¡°accidentally¡± landed on the black python in Lei Ting¡¯s hand. His eyes immediately widened. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this just came out today?¡±


    Lei Ting shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I met him on the way here. I saw that you were the only one living here nearby and wanted to ask about the situation. Since you sent the email, please cooperate with us and resolve the matter.¡±


    ¡°Cooperate, I¡¯ll definitely cooperate! Come, come, come in quickly. I still have several documents here!¡±


    Feng Ling opened the door and ushered the three of them in.


    Lei Ting had been observing after entering the courtyard. When he saw Nine Rings and a surveillance screen, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why did you install so many surveillance cameras?¡±


    ¡°Ha, this is still for safety.¡± Feng Ling touched the back of his head and revealed an embarrassed smile. ¡°I live alone here. It¡¯s not safe in the wilderness.¡±


    ¡®You live here alone?¡¯ Lei Ting frowned.


    ¡°Yeah, so I set up as many surveillance cameras as I could to give myself a peace of mind.¡±


    Feng Ling had already led the three of them to the surveillance camera as he spoke.


    ¡°This is what I recorded recently. There are quite a number of them.¡±


    Feng Ling took out a flash drive and said, ¡°But I don¡¯t know why. The most I can do is film the appearance of those strange creatures. Any further and the surveillance will fail.¡±


    ¡°I doubt if they carry some of the weirder magnetic fields that affect the cameras.¡±


    ¡°Can you show me the flash drive?¡± Bai Run asked, stepping forward.


    ¡°Of course, if you hadn¡¯t come, I¡¯d have been prepared to deliver it tomorrow.¡± Feng Ling handed over the flash drive and sighed. ¡°I don¡¯t know if I was lucky or if there were other circumstances. Those things might have been near my house before, but they didn¡¯t break into the yard.¡±


    Bai Run had already placed the USB flash drive on his glasses. A piece of data flashed across the lens. The data had been transmitted.


    ¡°Bro, can you show us the full surveillance footage?¡±


    Feng Ling nodded. ¡°Of course.¡±


    He wasn¡¯t afraid of being exposed. In fact, he¡¯d prepared two flash drives, three kinds of video.


    One flash drive recorded the full video. The other flash drive was the one in Bai Run¡¯s hand.


    As for what was stored in the surveillance cameras, Feng Ling had also tampered with it.


    He had not only studied smithing all these years. Otherwise, he would not have created a mechanical arm as intelligent as the ¡°Nine Rings¡±.


    He was quite confident in his skill in this area.


    The surveillance footage began to play.


    The first was the scene of the two-headed dog appearing out of thin air. However, when its figure appeared completely, the entire scene was spent. Then, five minutes later, the two-headed dog disappeared.


    Then there was a large rooster with the head of a turtle. It was coming from a distance. Did it flap its wings and fly? But just the same, when it got close, the entire surveillance screen turned blurry. When it recovered, it had disappeared.


    It was the same in multiple videos.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    The three members of the Thunder Squad looked very serious.


    Other than Feng Ling, no one around reported that they had discovered any abnormal creatures. However, there were more than ten videos.


    This meant that at least a dozen unusual creatures had appeared.


    However, none of these creatures knew where they had gone.


    Had they gone back to where they had come from, or had they been dealt with, or¡­ had they stayed?


    ¡®Is it true that you happened to be in your yard when they came near it?¡¯ Lei Ting asked quietly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Feng Ling said with a nod. ¡°In fact, I¡¯ve been at the CCTV almost every night since I emailed you guys. I can¡¯t sleep until I¡¯m sure they¡¯re gone.¡±


    ¡®So did you hear any movement?¡¯


    ¡°I think there really was¡ª¡±


    Feng Ling pretended to recall. ¡°I think I heard someone¡¯s voice. It seemed very solemn.¡±


    ¡°He probably said something like this: If you dare to appear in the mortal world, I¡¯ll exorcise you! How dare you show off your insignificant skills in front of an expert? Great Law Mantra, Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!!¡±


    ¡°Because the surveillance has failed, I couldn¡¯t see the images. I don¡¯t dare go out and look. When the images return, there will be nothing left.¡±


    The three of them looked at each other. Lei Ting did not ask any more questions. Chen Hong took a step forward and stood in front of Feng Ling.


    At some point, a mirror appeared in her hand.


    This mirror was very simple. It had a small handle with mysterious patterns carved on the back, and the mirror¡¯s surface rippled at this moment.


    Chen Hong¡¯s voice also took on a lazy tone. She turned the mirror around and looked at Feng Ling, chanting softly, ¡°Forgetting, abnormal, monitoring¡­ relief.¡±


    Feng Ling felt the power of soul seep out of the mirror and slowly approach her.


    Feng Ling could see Chen Hong¡¯s intentions from these words.


    She wanted to erase his memories of those abnormal creatures!


    Feng Ling did not resist. Instead, he outlined their intentions.


    His current soul power was much stronger than this. It was easy for him to confuse the other party.


    Before long, Feng Ling had closed his eyes and was breathing evenly.


    Chen Hong put down the mirror and nodded gently at Lei Ting.


    During this period, Bai Run had already packed up all the surveillance cameras and deleted all the data.


    ¡®Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll have someone come and seal off the area tomorrow.¡¯ Lei Ting glanced around the yard and sighed. ¡®A common man like him might be happiest if he didn¡¯t know anything.¡¯


    The three of them wiped away the traces of where they had been and left the courtyard.


    Feng Ling opened his eyes after they had gone, his expression troubled.


    He didn¡¯t mean to lie. There were just a lot of things he couldn¡¯t reveal.


    And now he had achieved his goal. As long as the authorities took the matter seriously, that was enough.

    On the other hand, Lei Ting and the others were already familiar with the process.


    Of course he did. Lei Ting was right.


    The more ignorant they were, the less stressful life would be.


    Ordinary people did not know this, so they had fewer worries.


    Except¡­

 Chapter 18

    Feng Ling thought of the frequency of these demon beasts appearing recently. He wondered how long such an abnormal event could be hidden from the public¡­


    Feng Ling stood in the courtyard for a while and then stopped thinking about it.


    If the sky fell, someone tall would hold it up. From now on, his memories would be erased. He wouldn¡¯t know about demons, and he wouldn¡¯t notice anything unusual.


    At night, Feng Ling did not let Nine Rings work overtime. He revised what he had learned recently and went to bed early.


    Lei Ting and the other two who had left were in a bad mood.


    They brought the black python back to the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City.


    By this time, Zeng Shiwu had been picked up. She was injured after all. It was clear that the Yama had tracked her. She was not safe.


    Most of the civilians were already resting at home at this hour, but it was still busy at the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    When the Thunder Squad returned, they asked directly to see the deputy director. This made the combat team leader, Lin Pin, realize the seriousness of the matter.


    Soon, more than a dozen people were seated in the conference room. The flash drive they had gotten from Feng Ling was already plugged into the projector.


    After listening to Lei Ting¡¯s report, everyone¡¯s expressions were ugly.


    They could think of whatever Lei Ting could think of.


    Deputy Chief Chen Baisheng¡¯s old face darkened, but he still took the initiative to speak. ¡°It has been nearly a month since the email was sent. Even though there are indeed factors that are out of our control, but our Mu Liang City¡¯s Peaceful Spirit Bureau still has to bear the main responsibility.¡±


    ¡°The seriousness of the matter might be beyond our imagination. It would be best if the dozen or so half-rank demon beasts were really dealt with by someone. However, if they enter the forest, we have to be prepared for them to appear at any time.¡±


    Everyone below was speechless. Chen Baisheng looked at Lin Pin. ¡°Team Leader Lin, what do you think about this matter?¡±


    Lin Pin said seriously, ¡°Deputy Chief, I think the most important thing now is to seal off that area and ensure that the new demon beasts won¡¯t cause chaos.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, we need to investigate the whereabouts of the demon beasts from before. If they fled into the forest, we have to kill them as soon as possible to prevent them from threatening civilians. If they were killed, then we have to find this expert as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Personally, I think there is such an expert. After all, the yama was killed by a mysterious expert a month ago.¡±


    Chen Baisheng nodded and looked at the others. ¡°Does anyone have any other thoughts?¡±


    ¡°As for the trace of demon beasts, we can apply for satellites. Since there¡¯s no cover around that area , won¡¯t it be easy to know where the demon beasts are?¡± Someone suggested.


    ¡°This was originally not a problem, but a few days ago¡­ all the satellites were deployed elsewhere, so we have no records at all.¡±


    ¡°Erm¡­¡±


    ¡°This is indeed very difficult. After all, that place is surrounded by forest on both sides. If demon beasts really enter, it will be very difficult for us to distinguish them. Most importantly, the forest is too dangerous, and there are too few ranked experts¡­¡±


    The group discussed for a long time but did not come up with anything. In the end, Chen Baisheng decided to first carry out a regional blockade to ensure the safety of the civilians before conducting a regional inspection and search according to the situation.


    There was no choice. The Peaceful Spirit Bureau was too short-staffed.


    This was especially true for ranked experts. Experts who could battle themselves were indeed more useful in certain aspects than a small combat group.


    ¡°That¡¯s for now. Now, there¡¯s another matter at hand.¡±


    Chen Baisheng waved at Zeng Shiwu. Zeng Shiwu understood and walked to the front.


    The group was confused. What was going on? There were pots and shovels. Did they have to cook on the spot?


    ¡°The kitchenware that everyone is seeing now is extraordinary,¡± Zeng Shiwu said as he raised the black pot and kitchen knife. ¡°These two are mid-tier Mystic-grade items.¡±


    She held up the spatula and spoon again. ¡°These two are top-grade Mystic-grade items.¡±


    There was silence for two or three seconds. Then¡­ someone couldn¡¯t help but say,


    ¡°What do you mean, what mid-tier and top-tier Mystic-grade items?¡±


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    ¡°Er, it can¡¯t be what I think it is?¡±


    ¡°You mean these are mid-tier Mystic-grade black wok and kitchen knife? And then two top-tier Mystic-grade vegetable shovels and soup spoons?¡±


    The Thunder Squad sitting at the back could not help but smile bitterly when they saw everyone¡¯s reaction.


    That¡¯s right. Who would have thought that a black pot was actually a mid-tier Mystic-grade item?


    It was really a four-piece Mystic-grade kitchenware set.


    ¡°Quiet!¡±


    When Chen Baisheng spoke, everyone fell silent. However, their gazes were still fixed on the four-piece set in Zeng Shiwu¡¯s hands.


    ¡°These¡­ ahem, these four kitchenware in Shiwu¡¯s hands are all of Mystic-grade.¡±


    After receiving Chen Baisheng¡¯s confirmation, three question marks appeared above everyone¡¯s heads.


    Mystic-gradekitchenware. How bored would a Master Forger be to make them?


    However, someone saw the main point and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Deputy Director, the four pieces in Miss Zeng¡¯s hands¡­ Well, she didn¡¯t buy them today, did she?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. They were bought. And it only cost 95 yuan,¡± Chen Baisheng admitted with a nod.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Three more big question marks appeared above everyone¡¯s heads.


    ¡®She bought four Mystic-grade items for ninety-five dollars?¡¯


    Uh, even if it was four mystic-grade kitchenware, they were still Mystic-grade.


    ¡°Deputy Director, what¡¯s going on?¡± Someone could not help but ask.


    ¡°Shiwu, tell me what happened.¡± Chen Baisheng¡¯s words brought everyone¡¯s attention back to Zeng Shiwu.


    Zeng Shiwu nodded. First, she recounted the assassination she had encountered today and how she had used the black pot and kitchen knife to counterattack. Then, she explained the origins of the black pot.


    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed as she explained, but at the end, they all looked strange.


    98 yuan rounded down to 90 yuan¡­ Did he really gave away mystic-grade equipment like as though they were cheap cabbages?


    ¡°Since everyone knows what¡¯s going on, what we need to discuss next is how to deal with this person who might be a Master Forger¡­¡±


    The late autumn morning lit up rather late in the day, but it did not affect Feng Ling¡¯s routine.


    Feng Ling had already set up his stance in the small courtyard with the crescent moon above his head. He quietly activated the Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique, and five cauldrons enveloped him.


    Yesterday, he had gained ten years of cultivation. This morning, he activated the breathing technique and sensed something different.


    The spiritual energy in his body flowed endlessly, and the comfort it brought was simply fascinating.


    The coolness of the morning was instantly dispelled, and Feng Ling¡¯s blood began to boil.


    Feng Ling began to move around. Every breath he took brought about an unusual dull sound. It was really shocking.

    And as the night receded, purple light filled the horizon.


    Feng Ling stopped cultivating and stood up. His soul began to outline in his soul sea and also began to digest the remaining soul power.


    This soul power was majestic and pure. The mysterious colors in the east seemed to resonate with him as he continued to absorb it.


    The ¡°Eastern Purple Qi¡± scene in his mind became more complete, and Feng Ling¡¯s aura became more and more ethereal and mysterious.


    Feng Ling let out a long breath and went to open the door with a smile after the Purple Qi dissipated.

 Chapter 19

    Outside the door, Liu Zhongyi, who was about to knock, saw the door suddenly open. His raised hand stopped in midair.


    Feng Ling, appropriately surprised, did not continue.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Liu Zhongyi, a constable from the police station in Mu Liang City.¡± Liu Zhongyi specially wore a police uniform today to increase his persuasiveness.


    Members of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau usually had two identities for use outside.


    One was police, the other was military.


    On the one hand, these two identities were more convenient for them to move around. On the other hand, they could also exert some power at certain times.


    ¡°Ah, how do you do, Mr. Policeman? What can I do for you?¡± Feng Ling maintained his cautious manner. When you put on a show, you have to maintain it.


    ¡°Well, our geological survey crew detected a crack under your house. There¡¯s been a high probability of an earthquake recently, so we¡¯re letting you know. Be sure to stay safe these days.¡±


    Liu Zhongyi observed Feng Ling¡¯s expression as he spoke.


    According to the higher-ups, the person in front of him was very likely related to a Master Forger.


    Yet last night, Lei Ting and the others had purged this one¡¯s memory¡­


    ¡°Oh, okay, thank you!¡± Feng Ling thanked him sincerely.


    ¡°One more thing. These surrounding fields belong to your family, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, twenty acres belong to my family.¡±


    ¡°Well, we¡¯re going to be surveying the two surrounding mountains for a while, so we thought we¡¯d rent a piece of land from you¡­ we¡¯ll pay, of course.¡±


    ¡°No problem, of course,¡± Feng Ling agreed.


    He knew the geological survey was a cover, of course, but since he was the one who¡¯d called the police, he¡¯d already thought of all this.


    ¡°Good. Thank you for your cooperation. I¡¯ll leave you to your matters.¡±


    After watching Liu Zhongyi leave, Feng Ling did not stay at home any longer and went straight to work in the town.


    He didn¡¯t instruct Nine Rings to disguise itself nor to stop working.


    If he was right, his current information should have been checked.


    Not long after arriving at the shop, Zeng Shiwu appeared at the door in his police uniform.


    ¡°Wow, you look so valiant in this outfit.¡± Feng Ling stretched out her thumb and praised.


    Zeng Shiwu was not very tall. She was slightly more than 1.65 meters tall, but she exercised all year round so her figure was tall and straight. She did not have the soft and cute appearance of an ordinary girl. Instead, she was full of heroic spirit. She looked much more energetic with her neat short hair.


    Zeng Shiwu smiled. ¡°As expected of a businessman now. You¡¯re so eloquent.¡±


    ¡°Tsk, how would we dare to deceive the police?¡± Feng Ling deliberately raised his eyebrows.


    ¡°Hey, let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Zeng Shiwu waved her hand. ¡°I came here today to consult you about something.¡±


    ¡°Good lord. Consultation? You can ask me anything.¡±


    Seeing this, Zeng Shiwu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. ¡°I just want to ask, did you¡­ make all these in your shop?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something go wrong with the ones you bought yesterday?¡± Feng Ling couldn¡¯t quite believe it.


    Even though he did not spend much effort on the kitchenware and farm tools here, there was absolutely no problem with the craftsmanship.


    Moreover, he usually made kitchenware for practice, so some of them were even better than the weapons he forged.


    Take the soup spoon for example. Unless it was twisted, it would take awhile to break if even if you used a hammer to hit it.


    ¡°No, no. It¡¯s not that there¡¯s a problem. I just want to ask.¡± Zeng Shiwu hurriedly waved his hand. What a joke. How could there be a problem with mystic-grade kitchenware? It wasn¡¯t like she was using underground lava to cook.


    ¡°Oh, I was indeed the one who made them. Otherwise, it would be too insulting for me to buy from other places as a blacksmith.¡± Feng Ling smiled.


    ¡°I see¡­¡± Zeng Shiwu nodded slightly. ¡°Then¡­ do you have any experience in forging weapons?¡±


    Feng Ling took a step back and quickly waved his hand. ¡°Good lord, you can¡¯t say such things. We¡¯re old classmates. You can¡¯t fish things out from me.¡±


    ¡°No, what are you thinking?¡± Zeng Shiwu smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained, ¡°I want to ask, do you know how good the quality of the kitchenware you made is?¡±


    ¡°Erm. I¡¯m quite confident in my craftsmanship.¡±


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    Feng Ling could tell that his old classmate had come with a purpose.


    But he couldn¡¯t understand. He¡¯d just sold her some kitchenware. How could¡­


    Wait!


    A thought flashed through Feng Ling¡¯s mind. When he looked at Zeng Shiwu again, a white light flashed in his eyes.


    Divine Power: Illusion Break!


    In Feng Ling¡¯s eyes, there were wisps of energy fluctuations on the old classmate in front of her.


    However, there was still a layer of dark light covering her body, hiding these fluctuations.


    These energy fluctuations were extremely similar to the trio last night, but there was a difference in quality.


    Zeng Shiwu was actually a person with extraordinary power?


    Feng Ling realized why she had been attracted to the kitchenware he had forged.


    ¡®That would explain it. So what¡¯s the purpose of her visit today?¡¯


    ¡®She wants me to forge her a weapon?¡¯


    Zeng Shiwu had already spoken again as Feng Ling continued thinking. ¡°What I mean is that your skills might exceed your imagination.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Feng Ling played dumb.


    Zeng Shiwu said nothing. She opened his bag and took out a kitchen knife and a pair of handcuffs.


    ¡°What are you going to do?¡±


    Zeng had handcuffs in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. And then¡­


    With a flash of light, the kitchen knife severed the chain between the handcuffs.


    However, the kitchen knife was not damaged at all.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think your kitchen knife is a little too good?¡± Zeng Shiwu stared into Feng Ling¡¯s eyes. She wanted to see something.


    She had attended the meeting last night. And this morning, when she came, she had seen the information on Feng Ling.


    If that resume was true, then Feng Ling was definitely a genius.


    And she was also a genius.


    Perhaps the two of them had talents in different fields, but they were geniuses with extreme intelligence.


    If such wisdom was reflected in the aspect of ¡°hiding oneself,¡± it was enough to fool most people, but not another genius.


    That¡¯s right. She started suspected Feng Ling.


    There was no other reason. The kitchenware was too eye-catching.


    Even if it was a yellow-grade weapon, it had to be forged by a master forger.


    And what kind of existence was a Master Forger?


    It was an existence that would be roped in by various forces and fawned over by countless ranked experts.


    That was an existence that could not be found in the entire Mu Liang City!


    Someone had said to rule out all the impossible. Then even if the remaining possibility was outrageous, it was still the truth.


    Even though others tended to think that there was a master or a certain force behind Feng Ling, Feng Ling was just the front,


    But Zeng Shiwu had a hunch¡ª


    Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only


    Feng Ling was that Master Forger!


    The beasts that appeared around the courtyard were most likely killed by the experts protecting him.


    So she¡¯d come today to test her instincts.


    ¡°Uh¡­¡±


    Feng Ling looked at the knife, then at the broken handcuffs, and finally at Zeng Shiwu. ¡°Are you Superman?¡±

 Chapter 20 - Earthquake?

    Chapter 20 Earthquake?


    Am I Superman?


    Zeng Shiwu almost choked to death.


    ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing, a kitchen knife cannot achieve this no matter how sharp it is.¡± Feng Ling said, shaking his head.


    ¡°Either there is a problem with these handcuffs, or there is a problem with you.¡±


    Zeng Shiwu was stunned by Feng Ling¡¯s firm tone. For a moment, she did not know what to say.


    Could it be¡­


    She wasn¡¯t the only one who had guessed wrong. The others in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau had guessed wrong too?


    Impossible!


    The mystic-grade kitchen knife was in her hand. This couldn¡¯t be fake.


    Zeng Shiwu was about to speak when the entire floor suddenly shook. The shelves swayed. Fortunately, Feng Ling was quick enough to catch her.


    But then there was another crash and an even greater shock that made the doors and windows rattle.


    as¡­


    Zeng Shiwu¡¯s expression changed. This was¡­ an extremely powerful energy collision!


    ¡°Oh boy, there really is an earthquake?¡± Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help but complain.


    He sensed it too, of course, and knew that the source of the shock was in the direction of his house. ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t move!¡± Zeng Shiwu said before disappearing.


    The shaking continued. Many people were out in the street, talking already. There had never been an earthquake in the Divine Weapon Town since ancient times.


    Everyone thought something had exploded at the first tremor but the subsequent consecutive tremors made them realize that it was really an earthquake!


    Feng Ling looked on. He naturally could not sit here and wait.


    Even though they were more than ten miles apart, he could still sense that the collision energy was near his house.


    ¡°This commotion is to tear down my house,


    right?¡±


    Feng Ling disappeared into the shop after muttering


    ¡°Wang Ning, how dare you!¡±


    Lei Ting¡¯s eyes widened in anger and his hair stood on end like steel needles, either because of the enhancement of his vital energy or because of anger. He was confronted by a burly figure wearing a ghost mask.


    Lei Ting was burly, but he was still inferior in front of this person.


    ¡°Hey, Lei Ting, why don¡¯t you join us? Look at me. From a lowly Level Nine martial artist to a peak Level Eight martial artist, I surpassed you in less than a year.¡± The Yama called Wang Ning laughed arrogantly.


    ¡°Hahaha, what a good idea. Let people know that the famous Lei Ting in Mu Liang City has also transformed into a Yama. I wonder how embarrassed the Peaceful Spirit Bureau will be.¡± A Yama that was pounding the ground nearby ouldn¡¯t help but laugh when he heard Wang Ning¡¯s words.


    At the same time, he pounded harder. Tremors spread in all directions with him as the center.


    ¡°Hehehe, how about it, Lei Ting? Would you consider?¡±


    ¡°B*stard!¡± Lei Ting gritted his teeth in anger. However, Wang Ning¡¯s strength had indeed surpassed his, and he was mainly engaging him directly, making it difficult for him to escape.


    He never expected Wang Ning and the others to be so arrogant. Not only did they appear in the day, but they also caused such a huge commotion!


    ¡°If you do this, you won¡¯t be able to escape today!¡± Lei Ting couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll naturally send someone to help your mysterious director and Team Leader Lin¡­ Don¡¯t even think about supporting you. You might not be able to escape today~¡±


    Wang Ning chuckled. He was not in a hurry. He just kept pestering Lei Ting.


    Lei Ting gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.


    He did not dare to fight him head-on. This Wang Ning in front of him was already stronger than him. Moreover, there was someone not much weaker than him beside him¡­


    At this moment, two figures quickly approached the battlefield.


    It was Bai Run and Chen Hong.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    ¡°Captain!¡± Chen Hong immediately wanted to help seeing that Lei Ting was at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, go and stop Qing Shisan!¡± Lei Ting shouted in joy.


    Qing Shisan was the Green Yama who was pounding the ground.


    ¡°Hehe, what a bunch of trash. They can¡¯t even deal with the two of you.¡± Contrary to Lei Ting, Wang Ning¡¯s expression turned cold when he saw Bai Run and the other man.


    But he smiled grimly again. ¡°Shiwu, we¡¯ll take care of them in three minutes. No problem, right?¡±


    Qing Shisan¡¯s eyes were filled with lust as he stared at the hot Chen Hong and licked his lips wretchedly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the men, but this woman, hehe, I¡¯m afraid three minutes isn¡¯t enough.¡±


    ¡°You have a death wish!¡±


    Chen Hong was a cold-faced beauty to begin with. When she heard these words, her face turned even colder.


    With an angry shout, she was about to rush towards Qing Shisan when Bai Run stopped her.


    ¡°Sister Hong, don¡¯t be rash. He¡¯s deliberately provoking you.¡±


    Bai Run¡¯s face was a little pale. They had also experienced a huge battle to arrive here.


    In order to better participate in the battle here, he consumed a large amount of vital energy to heal both of their injuries.


    But he remained calm enough.


    Stay calm, no matter what.


    This was what his mentor had warned him about when he was studying.


    The enemy in front of him was difficult to deal with. He looked burly, but he was actually shrewd and cautious.


    He had the strength of an Level Eight expert. If Chen Hong really rushed forward, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    ¡°Sister Hong, help me hold the line. I¡¯ll fight him first.¡±


    As Bai Run spoke, he had already taken out the willow branch from the white jade bottle, and the white jade bottle actually disappeared from his hand.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re Bai Run from the Thunder Squad, right?¡± When Qing Shisan saw Bai Run walking forward, he let out a strange laugh. ¡°To be honest, what I like the most is actually young people like you who look fair and clean.¡±


    Bai Run was not affected by him. He continued to walk forward at a steady pace.


    ¡°Tsk, how boring.¡±


    Seeing his expressionless face, Qing Shisan finally stopped pretending. He spat and stomped the ground with his right foot, attacking Bai Run like a large cannonball.


    Seeing this, Bai Run raised the willow branch in his hand and a few drops of mysterious liquid flew towards Qing Thirteen.


    Qing Thirteen shouted and punched without dodging


    However, unlike what he had imagined, the mysterious liquid was not very aggressive. As he attacked, it only attached to his fist.


    But in the next moment, he stopped and looked at the fist, which was emitting smoke.


    ¡°Qing Shisan, what are you doing? Don¡¯t you know that he has a talisman water that specifically counters us?¡± Wang Ning couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    With such a huge commotion, even if the people from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau were delayed for a while, it was inevitable that other experts would come to support them.


    He had to end this quickly.


    ¡°Hmph, I just want to try.¡± Qing Thirteen snorted and looked at Bai Run with a ruthless gaze.


    ¡°Good lad, die!¡±


    He was gone before he finished speaking.

    ¡®How fast is a Level Eight martial artist?¡¯


    Within ten meters, it definitely exceeded the adaptability refresh rate of the human eye.


    In other words, within a ten-meter radius, ordinary people could not capture his trajectory at all.


    Bang!


    There was a muffled sound of bones cracking and Bai Run was already sent flying.

 Chapter 21 - How Dare You Tear Down My Home?!

    Chapter 21 How Dare You Tear Down My Home?!


    ¡°Bai Run!¡± Chen Hong exclaimed from behind.


    ¡°Sister Hong, I¡¯m fine!¡± Bai Run took three steps back on the ground before stabilizing himself.


    His arms were trembling. Even though he had blocked Qing Thirteen¡¯s powerful blow, the bones in his arms had also cracked.


    ¡°Ah, boy, I hear your nickname is Daddy-Nanny?¡± Qing Shisan smiled teasingly. Before Bai Run could respond, he attacked again.


    At this moment, Bai Run said in the earpiece, ¡°Sister Hong, do it!¡±


    Qing Shisan was really fast, but at this moment, Bai Run also suddenly accelerated. On his legs, two talismans finally burned.


    The instant acceleration caused Qing Shisan to lose his target, but another figure joined the fray.


    Chen Hong held a large black dagger in her hand and suddenly attacked when Qing Thirteen¡¯s attack was exhausted.


    She was more than a notch faster compared to Bai Run. Or rather, she focused on speed.


    The dark dagger stabbed at Qing Shisan¡¯s waist. There was no choice. This was the best position for Chen Hong to attack from their size.


    However, all schemes were useless in front of true strength.


    Qing Shisan shouted and a green-gray essence energy enveloped his entire body.


    Ding


    With a crisp sound, Chen Hong¡¯s dagger stopped half a centimeter away from Qing Thirteen¡¯s waist.


    Oh no!


    Bai Run, who was at the side, knew that something was wrong. He endured the pain of his bones cracking and swung his willow branch, wanting to stop Qing Thirteen. However, how could Qing Shisan let him succeed? With a sinister smile, his fists were like two sledgehammers, one aimed at Chen Hong and the other at Bai Run.


    Chen Hong had already wanted to retreat when her dagger was blocked, but Qing Thirteen¡¯s reaction made her understand that if she retreated, she would definitely face an attack that was difficult to resist.


    Therefore, they still had to attack!


    Chen Hong let out a low cry after gritting her teeth. Her remaining energy erupted at this moment.


    She was petite compared to Qing Thirteen. At this moment, it was as if she had fallen into Qing Thirteen¡¯s arms, but the dagger was directed at Qing Thirteen¡¯s neck.


    Qing Shisan had already swung his fist. When he saw Chen Hong¡¯s actions, he was only slightly surprised for a moment. It was naturally too late for him to change his move, but¡­


    The strongest thing about a Level Eight Green Yama was close combat.


    Moreover, it was Qing Shisan.


    Qing Shisan could defeat someone at Level Nine even without using his essence energy.


    That was because he was originally a martial arts master, his control over various forces was quite strong.


    Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cause tremors in the ground with just his


    fists.


    In addition, his cultivation technique was also extremely shocking.


    Ding~


    The dagger was blocked again, and Chen Hong was also pinned to her chest by the Green Yama¡¯s arm, unable to move.


    Green Yama¡¯s other iron fist had already met the willow branch, but the talisman water on the willow branch failed to work this time.


    Even though the talisman water on the willow branch had a strong restraining effect on the Yama, it only consumed some of Qing Thirteen¡¯s essence energy and did not cause any damage to him.


    On the contrary, his attack was not as simple as it seemed.


    The moment Qing Shisan¡¯s fist collided with the willow branch, Bai Run felt a shocking hidden force attack him.


    The willow branch crackled, and Bai Run had to loosen it.


    But at this moment, Qing Shisan took a step forward with Chen Hong in his arms.


    Horse Step Punch!


    This seemed to be an easy move, but it was extremely powerful.


    Bai Run was not hit by the fist, but the essence energy from the fist directly dented his chest, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Qing Shisan withdrew his hand and snorted, his chest heaving. Chen Hong groaned in his arms and stopped struggling.


    Qing Thirteen let go and Chen Hong fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.


    Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks


    ¡°Qing Shisan, I want you dead today!!¡±


    Lei Ting¡¯s eyes widen in anger when he saw this.


    Bai Run and Chen Hong were both his team members. The three of them had worked together for several years, so their relationship was naturally extremely deep.


    However, he was suppressed by Wang Ning and could not attack.


    ¡°Tsk, so this is an expert from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, an expert who only knows how to talk?¡± Qing Thirteen laughed disdainfully and kicked Chen Hong away.


    Crash ~


    Chen Hong crashed into the courtyard wall. The hidden force contained in the Qing Shisan instantly caused the courtyard wall to collapse.


    In the courtyard, Nine Rings, which was forging, stopped. A series of red indicator lights lit up one after another.


    ¡°We have an enemy invasion. Prepare to enter defensive mode!¡±


    ¡°Furnace supply ready-¡°


    ¡°Round Sky and Square Earth ready¡ª¡±.


    ¡°Deadly spikes ready¡ª¡± ¡°Sky Crossbow ready¡ª¡±


    ¡°Nine Rings, cancel defensive mode. I¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    A command was heard beside Nine Rings. It was Feng Ling.


    His tone was calm, but the turmoil in his eyes was uncontrollable.


    He had watched his master build this small courtyard brick by brick, carrying his most precious memories.


    He did not make any major changes even when carrying out the ¡°Courtyard Transformation Plan¡±.


    ¡°Your name is Qing Shisan?¡±


    Feng Ling asked as he moved forward.


    Qing Shisan was startled, his expression turning grave.


    He did not realize that there was someone else in the courtyard.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Who am I?¡± Feng Ling laughed angrily. ¡°You¡¯ve ruined my yard, and you¡¯re asking me who I am?!¡±


    Bang!


    Qing Shisan was sent flying and landed hard on the ground.


    Wang Ning and Lei Ting, who were fighting, looked over and their pupils constricted.


    Feng Ling appeared directly above Qing Thirteen. Fist shadows overlapped, and only muffled sounds could be heard.


    They could not catch Feng Ling¡¯s movements at all, even with their Level Eight strength. Qing Thirteen could not even fight back. He was also beaten up by this extremely fast fist and could not even mobilize his essence energy.


    ¡°Kid, you¡¯re courting death!¡± Seeing this, Wang Ning knew that he could not let Feng Ling continue. If Qing Thirteen was killed just like that and the mission could not be completed, with Feng Ling¡¯s strength, he would probably not be able to leave.


    With a shout, he threw himself at Feng Ling as he swung the black dagger in his hand, forcing Lei Ting back.


    Qing Thirteen was caught off guard and was stunned by a series of moves. He might still be able to fight as long as he could catch his breath.


    However, to his surprise, Feng Ling did not dodge his attack.


    Buzz!!


    Wang Ning felt a strong backlash as the green light flashed. The dagger was about to fly out of his hand.


    Shock flashed through him, but he dared not attack again. Lei Ting was already following.


    It was unknown how many punches Feng Ling had thrown. After the last round, Qing Thirteen was only left with his last breath. He was completely useless.


    Of course, Feng Ling would not do something like not finishing the fight. Besides, he knew that these guys were not good people.

    ¡°Knife, come!¡±


    He shouted and the Bull Slaying Knife flew out of the courtyard.


    He was still not strong enough to control objects through the air. This was made possible because Nine Rings was very cooperative.


    Feng Ling slashed down without hesitation with the Bull Slaying Knife in hand.


    ¡°How dare you, kid!!¡±

 Chapter 22 - Im Not Interested in Fights

    Chapter 22 I¡¯m Not Interested in Fights


    Wang Ning¡¯s eyes widened in anger, but he could only see the blood that spurted out from Qing Shisan¡¯s neck even more clearly.


    [The butcher¡¯s knife you forged has completed the kill. Your divine power, ¡°Dismembering Bull¡±, has been enhanced by 50 points.]


    The prompt came, but it was unexpected.


    50 points!


    Was this guy¡¯s level that high?


    Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help but look at Wang


    Ning.


    In his perception, Wang Ning was slightly stronger than this guy.


    ¡°Then¡­¡¯


    Wang Ning felt Feng Ling¡¯s gaze and his heart trembled.


    Murderous intent. He felt a thick murderous intent and an inexplicable¡­ greed?


    Wang Ning¡¯s body tensed up. No way, no way. This person¡¯s taste couldn¡¯t be that heavy,


    right?


    No, he had to go. He had to go quickly!


    Not daring to think further, Wang Ning shouted again, ¡°Die!¡±


    However, in the next second, he had already fled into the distance.


    Lei Ting, who was about to take the blow, looked at Wang Ning¡¯s back and was stunned.


    However, Feng Ling, who was at the side, was not confused. The onlookers see more of the game. The change in Wang Ning¡¯s aura could not be hidden from his eyes.


    When Wang Ning retreated, he had already reached him.


    Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique!


    The Bull Slaying Knife brazenly slashed out, and a beam actually appeared in the air, slashing straight at Wang Ning¡¯s back.


    Wang Ning felt the sharpness behind him and did not dare to take it head-on. He immediately twisted his body to the side to avoid the attack.


    His twist allowed Feng Ling to catch up.


    The Eastern Purple Qi Technique circulated, and a soul attack attacked Wang Ning.


    Soul attacks were the hardest to guard against.


    Even though Wang Ning was strong, he was far from this level.


    He felt as if a sharp needle had suddenly pierced his brain. The intense pain made him black out, and he fell to the ground.


    The Bull Slaying Knife was raised and brought down hard.


    Dismembering Bull + 50


    Carrying Wang Ning¡¯s corpse, Feng Ling returned to the small courtyard and threw it beside Qing Shisan.


    Lei Ting watched this scene with a complicated expression. Feng Ling¡¯s strength far exceeded his imagination.


    They had originally thought that there was a Master Forger behind Feng Ling, and perhaps a ranked expert.


    They did not expect that Feng Ling was this ranked expert.


    Moreover, he was so strong that he could instantly kill a Level Eight expert¡­


    His strength was top-notch even among those at Level Seven, and even surpassed some of them!


    ¡°You,¡±


    Thinking about how they had ¡°erased¡± the memory of such an expert last night, Lei Ting was extremely embarrassed.


    ¡®Go and see them. And make sure you keep my secret.¡¯ Feng Ling ignored him and walked back into the yard.


    Lei Ting still wanted to say something, but Bai Run and Chen Hong were more important. He could only thank them and hurriedly go forward to check on their situation.


    To his relief, even though Bai Run and Chen Hong¡¯s injuries were very serious, they were not dead.


    Due to Bai Run¡¯s special nature, there was already a vitality flowing slowly in his body, helping him repair his body.


    ¡®Phew, it¡¯s good that he¡¯s not dead. It¡¯s good that he¡¯s not dead,¡¯ Lei Ting muttered, quickly taking out his phone to contact backup.


    With the Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s methods, it was not a big problem as long as they were not dead.


    Lei Ting noticed a car coming towards them at an extremely fast speed as soon as he hung


    up.


    en


    car


    Lei Ting was wondering why the reinforcements were so fast. When the car stopped, it was Zeng Shiwu who had rushed over.


    She was also following the direction of the energy fluctuations. It was a good thing that there was only one path from the Divine Weapon Town, which allowed her to arrive so quickly.


    She got out of the car and saw Bai Run and Chen Hong lying beside Lei Ting. She immediately ran over and took out two pills.


    ¡°Captain Lei Ting, this is a small healing pill. It has a very good stabilizing effect on injuries.¡±


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Lei Ting knew the value of the Little Cultivation Pill, but it was not appropriate to be polite in this situation. He thanked them and quickly gave it to them.


    The Little Cultivation Pill was indeed extraordinary. It quickly stabilized their injuries, which also relaxed Lei Ting a little.


    Meanwhile, Zeng Shiwu had already observed her surroundings. When she saw Wang Ning and Qing Shisan, she found them familiar.


    On closer inspection, she also identified them.


    Good lord, two Level Eight Yamas!


    Moreover, their strength was top-notch among those of Level Eight.


    She looked at Lei Ting differently now.


    Even with the help of the two people at Level-Nine, Bai Run and Chen Hong, Lei Ting was already very strong to be able ot kill two Peak Level Eight Yamas.


    He might be able to break through to Level Seven Enlightened Realm very soon.


    Lei Ting gave a bitter laugh sensing Zeng Shiwu¡¯s gaze. ¡®I did not deal with either of them.¡¯


    ¡°Huh?¡± Zeng Shiwu asked.


    He quickly looked around. Could there be other experts around?


    Feng Ling happened to come out of the forging room.


    ¡°Hey, Feng Ling?!¡± Zeng Shiwu¡¯s eyes widened as he stared at Feng Ling in disbelief.


    She didn¡¯t see anyone behind her as she drove¡­


    And from the looks of it, Feng Ling had been here for a while.


    Wait, could it be¡­?


    She turned to Lei Ting, who nodded, confirming her suspicions.


    Feng Ling had asked him to keep it a secret, but how could such a thing be kept a secret?


    What should he say?


    That he was the one who killed the two Level Eight Yamas?


    Even if he put aside his conscience, his strength did not allow him to do so.


    The Peaceful Spirit Bureau was very meticulous when it came to dispatching personnel. If their strength was misjudged and they suffered losses¡­ things would only become more and more troublesome.


    Besides, what era was this? There were eyes in the sky.


    If someone really wanted to investigate, they could.


    And his nod shocked Zeng Shiwu even more.


    She knew very well that when the shock came, Feng Ling was still in Divine Weapon Town.


    In other words, in less than ten minutes, Feng Ling had come from the Divine Weapon Town and dealt with two Level Eight Yamas?!


    ¡®He killed them in seconds, I suppose?¡¯


    This strength¡­


    Feng Ling also heard Zeng Shiwu¡¯s shout. He did not expect his old classmate to come so quickly.


    She must have sped.


    Feng Ling cursed silently. He knew that she could not pretend anymore.


    Previously, Zeng Shiwu had been testing him at the Armament Workshop. Now, she had seen through him directly.


    ¡®Phew! I can¡¯t explain, so I won¡¯t.¡¯


    ¡°Feng Ling, this, were they really¡­?¡±


    Zeng Shiwu still found it hard to believe.


    After all, she had not sensed any essence energy fluctuations from Feng Ling


    Feng Ling nodded, graciously admitting it.


    However, he immediately said sincerely, ¡°If possible, please keep it a secret for me. I just want to be an ordinary person. I¡¯m not interested in fighting and killing.¡±


    Oh boy, oh boy!


    Zeng Shiwu applauded¡­ What a good Versailles!


    ¡®Did you think you were an ordinary person when you killed the two Level Eight Yamas in seconds?¡¯


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to keep a secret. Not to mention that this violates discipline and that it would be imppossible to hide from the Heavenly Eye.¡± Zeng Shiwu shook his head. ¡°And every ranked expert needs to be registered. This is the iron law of the country¡¯s supernatural beings.¡±


    Whoosh ¨C


    Seeing Zeng Shiwu¡¯s serious expression, Feng Ling knew that this matter would be very difficult to handle.


    In that case¡­

 Chapter 23 - No More Pretending, Show My Cards

    Chapter 23 No More Pretending, Show My Cards


    ¡°Fine. I wanted to spend time with you guys as an ordinary person. In that case, I¡¯ll stop pretending and lay my cards on the table.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine to register it, but you have to hide the fact that you killed the Yama. At the very least, you can¡¯t announce it to the public.¡±


    Feng Ling made his offer.


    ¡°Why?¡± Zeng Shiwu was confused.


    Beside him, Lei Ting was not too surprised. He could vaguely guess what was going on.


    ¡°To you, taking out these two so-called Level Eight Yama is a meritorious deed, but to a lone person like me, it¡¯s trouble. Anyone who can go up against official organizations like yours shouldn¡¯t be fighting alone, right?¡± ¡°At this point, I¡¯ll get straight to the point. I was also the one who took out the guy who looked like them back in Divine Weapon Town. So I have reason to believe this is a unique race. Or a peculiar organization.¡±


    ¡®I don¡¯t want this kind of trouble coming my way. Is that clear?¡¯


    ¡°Ha, you were also the one who dealt with the Yama in Divine Weapon Town? I see¡­¡± Zeng Shiwu nodded, but then a doubt appeared in her mind. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you just join the Peaceful Spirit Bureau?¡±


    ???


    Feng Ling was stunned. What was going on?


    I¡¯ve hidden my strength for fear of trouble and you want me to join you instead?


    ¡®What do you mean? Would this spare me from future worries?¡¯


    At the side, Lei Ting also exclaimed. This little girl was indeed that person¡¯s disciple. Her train of thought was really¡­


    Want someone to give you thirty-two likes!


    If he could pull such an expert into the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, its strength would definitely increase greatly!


    Come on, awesome!


    ¡°I don¡¯t have much interest in that sort of thing either. Let¡¯s leave it at that.¡±


    ¡°By the way, I¡¯ve already dealt with the demon beasts that inexplicably escaped previously. But if I¡¯m not wrong, these strange occurences of this area will continue. I hope you can find out the reason as soon as possible.¡±


    Feng Ling waved them both off.


    The east wall was half down. He had to mend it quickly.


    However, he took this opportunity to continue the ¡°Courtyard Transformation Plan¡±.


    Zeng Shiwu did not continue the conversation as he watched Feng Ling start to get busy, but he could tell from her rolling eyes that she still had ideas.


    The Peaceful Spirit Bureau was indeed lacking in strength afterall.


    It took another 20 minutes for the rescue team to arrive, along with the logistics personnel from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    They were dedicated to cleaning up the battlefield,


    After an hour, the vicinity of the small courtyard finally quietened down.


    However, this entire area had also been surrounded.


    Lei Ting had no problem with that. Feng Ling had arranged for that and they weren¡¯t going to affect his normal life.


    Besides, he would be very busy later on. He did not have the time to care about those demon beasts that had suddenly appeared. It was best if someone could deal with them.


    The courtyard modification plan was a random idea that came to Feng Ling.


    The ultimate goal was to build this small courtyard into a ¡°fortress¡±.


    Originally, it was just for fun and to train his smelting and casting skills at the same time.


    Therefore, after completing half of it, Feng Ling paused because of funding and time.


    But now it seemed that this plan was very necessary!


    From the courtyard wall itself to the defensive measures, they needed to be modified. Feng Ling also plunged into the forging room.


    This was a huge project. Even with Feng Ling¡¯s speed, he had only completed the layout of the wall when night fell.


    Most of the ores that Nine Rings had been tempering had been used up.


    Fortunately, the wall itself was of utmost importance. After it was completed, there was no need to be too anxious about the other arrangements.


    After dinner, Feng Ling did not enter the forging room again. Instead, she brought her weapon and entered the Blood-robe World.


    After obtaining the divine blood, Feng Ling became more and more interested in the Blood-robe Realm.


    Even though the danger was great, the gains were completely proportional.


    When he killed Qing Shisan and Wang Ning today, he also thoroughly verified his thoughts.


    ¡ª The higher the level of evolution, the better the rebate of Equipment Strategy.


    After exhausting his soul, Feng Ling came out of the Blood-robe World.


    After taking inventory, Feng Ling happily showered and went to bed.


    The next morning, Feng Ling finished cultivating and headed to the Divine Weapon Town.


    But not long after he opened the door, a group of people came looking for him.


    ¡°The Armament Workshop.¡± The old man looked at the three big words on the plaque and couldn¡¯t help but read them out loud. ¡°Good handwriting, really good handwriting! Just by looking at this signboard, I know that the people inside are not ordinary people.¡±


    The door was open. Feng Ling sat behind the counter and saw the line of four men appear in the doorway. His mind raced. In the end he decided to sit tight.


    After the old man finished praising, he walked into the shop, followed by Zeng Shiwu and the others.


    ¡°Can I help you, sir?¡± Feng Ling asked with a smile as he rose.


    ¡°My name is Chen Baisheng, and I¡¯m the deputy director of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City. I¡¯ve specially come to thank Boss for taking action and getting rid of evil for the people.¡± As he spoke, the old man took out a white leather certificate from his pocket. On it was the old man¡¯s portrait and name.


    ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s Chief Chen. What can¡¯t he bear to get rid of evil for the people? He¡¯s just helping out when he sees injustice.¡± When Feng Ling saw Zeng Shiwu and Thunder, she had already guessed that this old man¡¯s identity was extraordinary. She did not expect him to be the deputy chief.


    If he understood it correctly, the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was the legendary relevant department.


    all v


    As a deputy director of an relevant department, his status and power were probably extraordinary.


    ¡°Hahaha, Boss is really interesting!¡± Chen Baisheng did not have the airs of a chief at all and was filled with friendliness.


    He had called another meeting the day before, after listening to Zeng Shiwu¡¯s and Lei Ting¡¯s reports.


    And the focus of this meeting was Feng Ling.


    Feng Ling was a ranked expert. Lei Ting had seen it with his own eyes.


    A ranked expert was a great treasure no matter where he went. This small Divine Weapon Town actually had a hidden expert who could kill the Yama. Furthermore, he was so young¡­


    Not thinking of a way to get him to join the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was simply a dereliction of duty as the Deputy Director!


    Of course, it was not ruled out that this was a scheme from beginning to end.


    The purpose of exhausting the three Yamas was to allow Feng Ling to enter Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s line of sight and join in.


    Even though this price was a little high, if Feng Ling could really infiltrate Peaceful Spirit Bureau, it would be quite worth it.


    But Chen Baisheng wasn¡¯t afraid.


    The Peaceful Spirit Bureau was not the Divine Shield Bureau. If it could be infiltrated so easily, they wouldn¡¯t be known as the Night Watch of the Divine Continent.


    ¡°A few Yamas were killed with your heavy involvement, we¡¯ll have to trouble the you to make a statement. In addition, because that demon is on the Demon Bounty List, Boss, you¡¯ll also get a reward.¡±


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s a reward?¡± Feng Ling was intrigued.


    ¡°Killing demons is the same as eradicating disasters for the people. Naturally, they will be rewarded,¡± the old man said seriously. ¡°Just like our Peaceful Spirit Bureau. Newcomers are paid more than fifty thousand a month with the six insurance and pension. There will be an additional bonus for every mission completed.¡±


    ¡°Boss, an expert like you who can kill demons on the Demon Bounty List can receive a reward corresponding to your authority every year in addition to an annual salary of one million yuan.¡±


    ¡°A million a year?¡±

 Chapter 24 - Three Good Young Men

    Chapter 24 Three Good Young Men


    Perhaps to some people, salary was just a simple number. not enough for the expenses of a casual shopping trip.


    But for most people, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.


    And an annual salary of a million yuan was a goal that many people could not achieve in their entire lives.


    Feng Ling took a deep breath and calmed down a little.


    Foundry belonged to the gold-digging industry of ¡°Research+Manufacturing¡±. He had spent more than a million yuan on improving his casting skills over the years.


    But that didn¡¯t mean he was a small-time boss with no interest in money. Quite the opposite. He understood better how hard it was to make money.


    Putting everything else aside, because of the limited funds, his ¡°small courtyard renovation plan¡± could only be implemented at the lowest standard. In fact, it was knocked down yesterday because half of it was not yet under construction.


    Chen Baisheng caught the change in Feng Ling¡¯s expression and could not help but be amused.


    Behind him, Lin Pin and Lei Ting had strange expressions.


    Why did the Deputy Director¡¯s words sound so familiar?


    It seemed that they had heard it many times over the years¡­


    When Feng Ling saw Chen Baisheng¡¯s curled lips, he immediately understood his intentions.


    ¡®Good God, Good God!¡¯


    This old man in front of him was very evil!


    You actually want to use money tactics to confuse me?


    Chen Baisheng noticed the change in Feng Ling¡¯s gaze and felt a little awkward. He quickly changed the topic.


    ¡°Ahem, by the way, Boss, may I ask which expert¡¯s disciple you are?¡±


    The matter of roping him in could wait. In fact, he wanted to know something else.


    He¡¯d had the information on Feng Ling before the meeting the night before.


    But¡­


    How should he put it? The person he read about and the person in front of him¡­


    Were completely unrelated, right? It could only be said that they were completely unrelated!


    He was adopted by a blacksmith from a young age, but that blacksmith died of an illness when he was young. Then he refused the help of the orphanage and finished high school by selling some pots and pans and farm equipment in the town.


    During this period, he was rated as a ¡°young role models and an ¡°excellent role model¡± by Mu Liang City. If not for Feng Ling¡¯s refusal, he would have been chosen as the ¡°Young Ambassador of Mu Liang City¡± two years ago¡­


    The reason for Feng Ling¡¯s refusal was that he ran an ironware shop and had business attributes that would affect the official image of Mu Liang City.


    When he was in high school, he was the top student in the school, but his college entrance examination results were only 450 points because he missed his Chinese and Mathematics exams on the first day.


    He did not repeat his studies and began to focus on running the shop. Later on, he became the uP Master of a technology area on a part-time basis. He had once caused a sensation by creating a smart mechanical arm and gained millions of fans for a video. Now, he had nearly two million fans online and was requested for uploads every day.


    Even though this experience was not top-notch, it was still full of positive energy.


    But was this the experience and style a powerhouse should have?


    Eighteen years old. Nothing had anything to do with the supernatural.


    Was that normal?


    What he felt now was confusing.


    He really hoped that Feng Linggen was such an outstanding genius.


    On the other hand, Feng Ling¡¯s strength as a ranked expert was too outstanding.


    Even for those cultivation geniuses, if they wanted to enter the ranks, they had to go through several years of tempering their bodies. At the same time, they had to use resources to improve their bodies to avoid leaving hidden injuries in the process.


    Feng Ling, you can¡¯t say that you naturally have the strength to kill a Yama at 18 years old, right?


    On the one hand, he wanted to get more people to continue investigating. On the other hand, Chen Baisheng decided to ask Feng Ling personally to see what answer he would give.


    ¡°My master is dead, so it¡¯s not convenient to mention him. Please forgive me.¡±


    Chen Baisheng was stunned. ¡°Sorry.¡±


    He cupped his hands in apology and let the subject drop.


    Since Feng Ling refused to tell him, he could wait to investigate.


    But there was something else. He had to get an accurate answer.


    He gestured to the pots and pans around them. ¡°Did you make all the appliances here yourself, boss?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes. After all, it¡¯s a shop that has been passed down. I don¡¯t dare to neglect it,¡± Feng Ling said seriously.


    When Zeng Shiwu came to test him yesterday, he already understood that his ten years of cultivation should have been given to him by Zeng Shiwu.


    Since the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was the legendary relevant department, there was definitely no lack of discerning people.


    Even though these pots and pans were only for practice, the quality was not something that an assembly line could compare to.


    Feng Ling didn¡¯t know much else, but he was fairly confident in his casting skills.


    ¡°Oh, as expected of the boss. There aren¡¯t many young men with such a traditional craftsman¡¯s spirit.¡±


    Three question marks appeared above Feng Ling¡¯s head. ¡®How can you tell that I have the spirit of a traditional craftsman?¡¯


    Does forging with your hands means you have the spirit of a craftsman?


    Ning Zhen¡¯s mouth was left agape.


    The corners of Lin Pin and the others¡¯ mouths twitched. Old Chen, Old Chen, your art of speech!


    ¡°Little friend Feng is so young, yet you¡¯re already self-reliant and can still keep your heart. You¡¯re really the role model for the youth of our Mu Liang City!¡± Chen Baisheng continued to attack and changed his address from ¡°boss¡± to ¡°little friend¡±.


    One step closer!


    Feng Ling wondered if the old man in front of him had eaten peppercorns.


    After this round of verbal attacks, who wouldn¡¯t feel numb?


    I¡¯m just selling pots and pans in a small town at the foot of the mountain but I¡¯m the pillar of the country and the future from your mouth?


    If I let you continue, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be the guardian of the entire Earth!


    Feng Ling cursed in his heart. He knew that this old man was just spouting nonsense.


    He knew himself quite well.


    Was he an expert?


    Perhaps he was indeed a little stronger than ordinary people, but he knew how terrifying this world was now.


    The frog in the well felt that he was king of the world because he could only see the world at the bottom of the well.


    But he was different. He had seen the mountains.


    So he knew how small he was.


    From their conversation, one could tell that the supernatural beings they mentioned were also divided into levels.


    Level Nine, Level Eight, Level Eight¡­


    ¡®Does that mean there are Level Two and One?¡¯


    Was there anyone stronger than Level One?


    It was true that he could instant kill a Level Eight now.


    But in fact, he knew that he was not much stronger than a Level Eight martial artist.


    Besides, he¡¯d seen a God before.


    That fellow called ¡°Blood God¡± had almost shattered his soul with just a drop of blood. How terrifying was his true strength?


    Feng Ling could not even imagine.


    It really matched the words of the Blood God: God is unpredictable!


    Against that kind of existence, ordinary people were no different from ants.


    And he was just an ant that was a little stronger.


    ¡°Director Chen, I¡¯m sure you¡¯re very busy. If you have anything to say, why don¡¯t you just say it? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely cooperate. What do you think?¡± Feng Ling didn¡¯t want to waste time here and said directly.


    ¡°Hahaha, straightforward. I like my young friend¡¯s temperament.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask you directly, young friend. Can you¡­ forge ranked weapons?¡±

 Chapter 25 - Everyone Has A Price

    Chapter 25 Everyone Has A Price


    In fact, a month ago, Chen Baisheng had noticed a point when he was checking the report on the ¡°Divine Weapon Town Yama¡± incident.


    It was a photograph.


    The photo showed an ink dagger, the same dark dagger used by the yama.


    And above the ink dagger were several tiny nicks and an obvious dent.


    Chen Baisheng could naturally tell at a glance that these gaps were left behind after the confrontation of weapons.


    What quality of weapon could cause such damage to the Ink Dagger?


    They said the Ink Dagger was valuable just because it wasn¡¯t an ordinary weapon.


    Technology was now advanced, and smelting technology had also developed to a rather high level. However, some tools could not be replicated indefinitely with just a set of assembly lines.


    For example, the Ink Dagger was such a special weapon.


    In the supernatural circle, such weapons were called ¡°ranked weapons.¡±


    Its manufacturing material was an iron-based superalloy called Bright Steel. This material itself was not rare and could be refined by a slightly larger steel factory.


    However, ink daggers could not be mass-produced. Any ink dagger that was made with a machine could not even reach half the sharpness and hardness of a real ink dagger.


    Therefore, the weapon that could cause such damage to Ink Dagger was naturally in the hands of the person who had killed the yama.


    Unfortunately, the sky was filled with black fog that day, and all detection methods were concealed. Even Chen Hong did not discover it after using her Traceless Mirror.


    On second thought, it was not surprising for an expert to have a high-quality ranked weapon. Chen Baisheng put the matter aside.


    However, when he saw the four-piece set that Zeng Shiwu had brought back the day before yesterday and heard Zeng Shiwu¡¯s description, he instantly connected the two matters.


    There were indeed coincidences in the world, but there was definitely no Master Forger who bored enough to specialize in forging ranked kitchenware.


    If there was, it would prove that he could definitely forge more outstanding weapons!


    The result of their discussion that night was that there should indeed be a Master Forger behind Feng Ling. As for Zeng Shiwu¡¯s opinion that ¡®Feng Ling was the Master Forger¡¯, Chen Baisheng had also thought of this possibility, but it was eventually overturned.


    However, Feng Ling¡¯s strength yesterday made Chen Baisheng suspicious.


    Could it be that Feng Ling was really that kind of shocking genius? Not only was he an expert who could instantly kill a Level Eight expert, but he was also an even more respected Forging Master?


    Chen Baisheng had come personally today for two reasons.


    Firstly, it was to befriend a ranked expert like Feng Ling. Secondly¡­ it was also something he really valued.


    He wanted to know if Feng Ling was a Master Forger!


    He had to rope him in no matter what if it really was the case.


    If he wasn¡¯t, he would need to ask about the origins of these mystic-grade kitchenware.


    There was too much at stake for him to ignore.


    And today, he suddenly felt very certain when he saw the words ¡°The Armament Workshop¡±.


    The Armament Workshop, ¡°Armament¡± should be the core.


    There must be a Master Forger behind this Armament Workshop!


    ¡®How important is a Master Forger?¡¯


    Chen Baisheng felt it too deeply in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    Weapons were one of the important factors that affected combat strength. Two people with similar strength might die because of the difference in weapon quality.


    A weapon that could allow a ranked expert to unleash their strength had to be at least ranked.


    However, in the current situation, there were few ranked experts and even fewer ranked weapons.


    Under the premise that ranked weapons could not be manufactured in batches using machinery, the birth of every ranked weapon required a lot of effort from a Master Forger.


    The Ink Dagger could only be considered the worst type of ranked weapon, but even so, it could not be used by everyone.


    This was because there were too few Master Forgers who could forge ranked weapons. At the same time, there was a high failure rate in the forging process.


    Forging required a lot of talent.


    In this world, there was indeed an ethereal noun like ¡°talent¡± which seems to be illusory, but actually exists.


    Some successful people once said that success was only 1% talent plus 99% diligence.


    However, ¡°1%¡± of talent was a natural chasm that stopped countless ¡°mediocre people¡± who had worked hard.


    Some people were born interested in manufacturing. Perhaps he only needed a short period of practice to become a famous craftsman.


    Some people would never be able to forge a ranked weapon even after forging for their entire lives.


    Every Master Forger is a genius in their own right.


    However, even a genius would need a considerable amount of time and resources to grow into a Master Forger.


    Feng Ling did not answer immediately hearing Chen Baisheng¡¯s straightforward question.


    He was thinking about what ¡°ranked weapons¡± meant.


    In the past, Feng Ling had also heard of the word ¡°ranked¡±, but that was only limited to hearing it.


    That was some information he had seen when he was trading materials through some black websites.


    However, there was too little information about this. Words could not explain it at all.


    He now knew that the ¡°ranked experts¡± these people mentioned should be the so-called supernatural beings, but¡­


    He had no idea what sort of weapon would be considered ¡®ranked¡¯


    The weapons used by supernatural beings were ranked weapons?


    It was definitely impossible¡­


    After a long while, Feng Ling looked up and asked, ¡°Director Chen, do you believe what I


    say?¡±


    Chen Baisheng looked straight into Feng Ling¡¯s eyes and spat out a word. ¡°Yes.¡±


    He continued, ¡°Little Friend Feng, before I came, I obtained a set of information on your growth since you were young.¡±


    ¡°I had my doubts about this information at first because I couldn¡¯t find anything in itanything about you being a ranked powerhouse.¡±


    ¡°But then I figured out that some people can¡¯t be judged by common sense.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, even though a person¡¯s personality will change as they grow up, their essence will not change.¡±


    ¡°Good Samaritan, self-reliant, a role model for young people, an excellent role model¡­ I choose to believe in such a person, and I¡¯m willing to believe it.¡±


    Feng Ling was silent for a few seconds before suddenly smiling. ¡°Since Chief Chen already has the answer in his heart, why are you still asking me?¡±


    ¡°Because the Peaceful Spirit Bureau really needs a Master Forger to join!¡± Chen Baisheng said sincerely. ¡°Little friend, are you interested in knowing more about our Peaceful Spirit Bureau? Joining the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and having the country behind you will definitely improve faster than fighting alone.¡±


    ¡°Besides, the rules of our Peaceful Spirit Bureau are pretty relaxed. After joining the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, it won¡¯t affect the development of your Armament Workshop at all.¡±


    ¡°Director Chen, I¡¯m sorry, I might have to disappoint you.¡± Feng Ling was not moved by Chen Baisheng¡¯s sudden sincerity. ¡°Little Feng, don¡¯t be in a hurry to refuse. Your concerns have already told me. If you¡¯re really more resistant to joining, why don¡¯t we use a cooperative method? What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Cooperation? How so?¡± Feng Ling¡¯s interest was piqued.


    Chen Baisheng was delighted when he saw Feng Ling¡¯s attitude. There was a way.


    This was because the Golden Word Master, Brother Xun¡¯er, had once said, ¡°Everyone has a price.¡±

 Chapter 26 - Hello, My Name Is Duan Changde

    Chapter 26 Hello, My Name Is Duan Changde


    If they talked about cooperation right away, Feng Ling would most likely refuse.


    However, if he talked about joining first before discussing cooperation, Feng Ling¡¯s resistance would be less.


    He immediately said, ¡°There are guest elders in ancient sects and guest professors in modern universities. The way the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and the Master Forger cooperate is also according to this method.¡±


    ¡°The Serenity Bureau provides materials, rewards, and guarantees. The Master Forger only needs to focus on forging in peace. Both sides are completely equal. All responsibilities and obligations are written in the terms.¡±


    When Feng Ling heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Chief Chen, you came prepared.¡±


    Chen Baisheng also laughed. ¡°Only by being prepared can we seize the opportunity.¡±


    These words were very heavy. The word ¡°opportunity¡± showed Chen Baisheng¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Alright, in that case, if I refuse, I¡¯ll seem ungrateful. However¡­¡±


    Feng Ling said seriously, ¡°There¡¯s no problem with cooperation, but I¡¯m not sure I¡¯m up to your standards.¡±


    ¡°How about this? Let¡¯s find a time tomorrow. I¡¯ll bring the weapon I forged, and you guys can bring some experts. It won¡¯t be too late to cooperate after we study it in detail.¡±


    Chen Baisheng extended his thumb and praised, ¡°How meticulous!¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s a deal? First thing in the morning?¡±


    ¡°Eight-thirty tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll welcome you with open arms!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Baisheng was in a good mood. ¡°Then we won¡¯t disturb Little Friend Feng¡¯s business. Goodbye.¡±


    After watching Chen Baisheng and the others leave, Feng Ling sat back down behind the counter. Her fingers gently tapped on the table as she pondered the pros and cons of this matter.


    The biggest drawback of working with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was that he was weak. If something bad happened, it would be difficult for him to have the capital to fall out with them.


    However, such problems usually did not appear in the early stages. Moreover, the probability of such a situation happening in official organizations was very small.


    As for the benefits, they were also obvious.


    Now that the situation was chaotic, the combat group of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau should be very busy. This meant that there would be a large number of battles every day.


    If these combatants were all equipped with weapons that they had forged, then¡­


    His improvement speed would probably be several times faster.


    Moreover, the Peaceful Spirit Bureau had an official background. If they could reach a cooperation, he would have fewer worries in certain aspects. Many things could also be directly brought to the surface.


    On the whole, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.


    Chen Baisheng and the others, who had left the Armament Workshop, were about to get into the car when Zeng Shiwu stopped in his tracks. He grabbed his earpiece with a serious expression and said ¡°Okay, okay¡± a few times before looking at Chen Baisheng.


    ¡°Deputy Director, someone¡¯s looking for you.¡±


    She took off the headset and handed it over.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Chen Baisheng asked.


    ¡°Minister Duan.¡±


    Chen Baisheng¡¯s hand trembled as he hurriedly took the earpiece and put it on.


    ¡°Minister Duan?¡±


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Duan Changde.¡±


    After ending the call, Chen Baisheng stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before laughing out loud.


    ¡°Deputy Director¡­¡±


    ¡°From now on, Feng Ling¡¯s security clearance in Mu Liang City will be raised to Grade A. Get in the car and go back to draft the contract!¡± Chen Baisheng ordered solemnly.


    ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Pin opened his mouth but swallowed all the words.


    Seeing Chen Baisheng¡¯s current appearance and thinking about the name ¡°Minister Duan¡± just now, he somewhat understood.


    How many ministers in China could make Chen Baisheng change so much?


    They did not dare to guess the identity of the person who could make Minister Duan call personally.


    But there was no doubt that Wood Liang City was going to be lucky!


    However, he could not mention Minister Duan in front of Feng Ling. Did he have any grudges?


    ¡®Enmmm¡­!


    Instantly, a storm began to surge in the minds of the people present.


    ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!¡± Chen Baisheng hurriedly urged when he saw their stunned expressions.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    The sun was rising in the east, purple clouds filling the air.


    Feng Ling stood in the courtyard. His every breath contained a certain pattern.


    The bronze patterns circled around his body, and five cauldrons appeared intermittently. They were improving.


    In his sea of consciousness, the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± flipped to a certain page. A Eastern Purple Qi was reflecting the eastern sky and slowly outlined.


    After a long time, Feng Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and ended his cultivation for the day.


    But Feng Ling was in no hurry to go out.


    The Pig Slaughtering Knife had been destroyed in the battle with Bai Yi. He had never reforged it.


    Since he happened to be discussing cooperation with Chen Baisheng today, he might as well forge a new Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    It just so happened that he wanted to see what level his forging skills had reached.


    He asked Nine Rings to prepare the materials. After breakfast, Feng Ling took off her shirt and went into battle bare-chested.


    When they arrived at the forging room, the temperature of the fire had already risen. Without hesitation, Feng Ling started to melt the iron.


    The iron was melted into a liquid state by the high temperature, further removing the impurities and making it easier for the wind feathers to add other materials.


    The temperature rose again, and the entire furnace rumbled. Feng Ling¡¯s body was already covered in sweat.


    However, he did not do anything else at this moment. He let the sweat flow down the lines of his muscles and drip onto the ground before evaporating. He was very focused, following every step in his mind.


    Casting was not easy. There could not be any mistakes in the preparation stage at this time, especially the ratio of the materials, which directly affected the quality of the final product.


    Finally, the furnace began to cool, and the liquid molten iron began to condense.


    Back when he designed the Pig Slaughtering Knife, Feng Ling¡¯s goal was to kill pigs and chickens.


    Therefore, the shattered Pig Slaughtering Knife was sharp but not tough enough. Its overall quality was inferior to the Bull Slaying Knife forged with the ring-headed knife as the prototype.


    Now that it had been recast, the Feng Ling had been redesigned to make the blade a tenth shorter, allowing the new Pig Slaughtering Knife to rank among the short knives.


    It would be more agile and more suitable for dangerous combat.


    The molten solidified, and Feng Ling began to forge.


    This step was of the utmost importance.


    The success of forging an instrument, regardless of the quality of the materials, was the core of the forging process.


    Different forging techniques would create different quality instruments.


    The sledgehammer continued to fall. Unlike the Nine Rings¡¯ pure hammering of materials, Nine Rings¡¯ hammer technique had an unique pattern.


    If you listened carefully, you would notice that it was like a breath.


    During the hammering process, Feng Ling fused her own breath into the hammer technique and entered to fuse it into the Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    Breathe in, breathe out.


    Feng Ling¡¯s movements were as smooth as flowing water. His entire body was like a repetitive dynamic diagram. The only thing that changed was the Pig Slaughtering Knife that was gradually taking shape on the forging table.


    Finally, with a whoosh, the Pig Slaughtering Knife was completed.


    Feng Ling held it in his hand and slashed at a metal frame beside him.


    Sizzle ~


    Four millimeter-thick iron sheets were cut open, leaving a deep knife mark on the fifth.


    ¡°Not bad. When used by ordinary adults, it can barely achieve the effect of breaking through five armors. If it were another expert, they should be able to reach the state of breaking through seven to eight armors. However, that level of long-term collision will leave wear and tear on the blade¡­¡±

 Chapter 27 - I Want To know, Does Ranked Mean?

    Chapter 27 I Want To know, Does Ranked Mean?


    Feng Ling was quite satisfied with his condition today.


    Actually, forging the Pig Slaughtering Knife was not too difficult for him now, but how could he continue to improve the quality of a weapon on the original basis? Was it skill? Was it material? Or was it that mysterious, inexplicable stroke of luck?


    The vast space of exploration and progress was what kept Feng Ling interested and motivated.


    Feng Ling thought of the ¡°ranked¡± weapon Chen Baisheng had mentioned.


    Before this, he had forged weapons purely to improve his forging skills. He had never thought of classification of weapons.


    However, in the inheritance of the Armament Workshop, weapons were indeed graded.


    ¡°There are millions of weapons in the world. 70% are ordinary iron, 20% are sharp blades, and a total of 10% of spiritual weapons and divine weapons. Divine weapons are invisible.¡±


    According to the classification in the ancient books of the Armament Workshop, there were four grades of weapons in the world: ordinary iron, sharp blades, spirit weapons, and divine weapons. However, divine weapons only existed in legends. Its existence had been passed them down by word of mouth, no one had ever really seen them.


    Feng Ling¡¯s understanding of this was that divine weapons might really exist, but ordinary people would not be able to recognize them even if they saw them.


    This was because the Armament Workshop¡¯s classification of weapons was consistent with the Equipment Strategy.


    In the Equipment Strategy, divine weapons did exist.


    The weapons that Feng Lingforged now were all at the level of sharp blades.


    The Armament Workshop had actually lost the art of forging of spiritual weapons. There were only a few words left in the ancient books that proved that a certain ancestor had succeeded.


    His master wanted to explore the path of forging a spirit weapon, so he kept trying to explore. In the end, he exhausted his energy, fainted and died.


    Before his death, his master had said that unless one reached the extreme of a sharp blades weaponry, one should not attempt to forge a spiritual weapon.


    Because that no longer belonged to the same level.


    If he forcefully forged a spiritual weapon, he would only return empty-handed. In serious cases, he might even suffer a backlash.


    Feng Ling was naturally obsessed with this, but he understood that if he wanted to figure out the forging method of the ¡°spiritual weapon¡±, he had to at least figure out what the spiritual weapon was and what level it had reached.


    However, the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± did not reveal the forging method of spiritual weapon.


    Feng Ling could only put it down to the fact that he had not reached the peak of sharp blades weaponry. Feng Ling left the forging room. After washing up, he took the Pig Slaughtering Knife and rushed to the shop.


    Not long after arriving at the shop, Chen Baisheng and the others arrived.


    In addition to Chen Baisheng and Lin Pin, there was also a white-haired old man and a young man.


    The old man was slightly stunned when he saw the Armament Workshop.


    ¡°This name ¡­¡±


    ¡°What is it, Master Zhang?¡± Chen Baisheng asked.


    ¡°It is somewhat familiar, but I don¡¯t recall ever hearing the name of this place, the Armament Workshop.¡± ¡°Heavy, solid, and majestic,¡± the young man suddenly said. ¡°If the person who inscribed it is a Forger, he must be a Master Forger or even a Grandmaster.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Chen Baisheng¡¯s eyes lit up, and his confidence in Feng Ling increased.


    ¡°Chief Chen.¡± Feng Ling saw them too and went out to greet them.


    ¡°Haha, Little Friend Feng. Come, let me introduce you to everyone.¡±


    Chen Baisheng pointed at the old man and said, ¡°This is the Master Forger of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, Master Zhang Zhenguo.¡±


    ¡°Master Zhang.¡± Feng Ling cupped his hands. The title of Master Forger spoke volumes.


    Chen Baisheng then pointed at the young man. ¡°This is the Forger, Zhu Huo, Mr. Zhu. At the same time, he is also an Aspect Weapon Master with extraordinary taste.¡±


    Feng Ling was a little curious. He had seen the profession of the Aspect Weapon Master in the ancient books from the Armament Workshop, but he had never seen one in reality.


    After all, Forgers were already rare in this era, so there were naturally very few Aspect Weapon Masters.


    Zhu Huo smiled and nodded in greeting.


    Lin Pin had seen him yesterday, so there was no need to introduce him again.


    ¡°Gentlemen, this is the owner of the Armament Workshop, Boss Feng Ling.¡±


    Today, Chen Baisheng spoke very cautiously because the two people present were real Forgers. Their attainments in Forging were very high, and they valued the way Forgers addressed each other.


    If Feng Ling could really forge an entry-grade weapon, there was nothing wrong with calling him ¡°Master Forger¡±.


    However, if Feng Ling did not reach this level, calling him ¡°Master Feng¡± would only offend the two of them.


    By the same token, this was why he addressed Zhu Huo as ¡°Mr.¡± instead of ¡°Master Zhu.¡±


    They were all busy people. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered the house and cut to the chase.


    ¡°Gentlemen, before we begin, I¡¯d like to ask a question.¡± Feng Ling brought out tea and filled their glasses.


    ¡°Little friend, just say it,¡± Chen Baisheng said curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to know do you mean when you mention that something is ¡®ranked.¡±¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    All three of them winced at that.


    Zhang Zhenguo and Zhu Huo looked at Chen Baisheng with questions in their eyes.


    You asked us to identify if this person is a Master Forger, but this person didn¡¯t even know his own standard for forging¡­


    What the hell?


    ¡°Please don¡¯t misunderstand. I didn¡¯t make myself clear.¡± Feng Ling waved his hand, indicating that the three of them should calm down.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this. I research and trial and error by myself, so I¡¯m not very clear these levels you¡¯re talking about. Why don¡¯t the two of you take a look at the one in my hand first before deciding if there¡¯s a need to continue the conversation?¡±


    Feng Ling took out a long wooden box.


    Zhang Zhangguo and Zhu Huo looked at each other and finally looked at Chen Baisheng.


    ¡°Please take a look first.¡± Chen Baisheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    He really hadn¡¯t expected this from Feng Ling.


    Now that he thought about it, Feng Ling had never mentioned that he was a Master Forger¡­


    Could he have been careless this time?


    However, Mystic-grade kitchenware could not be faked. Besides, Minister Duan had endorsed it yesterday. Chen Baisheng took a deep breath, suppressed his distracting thoughts and stopped thinking too much about it.


    The worst thing that could happened was that he had made a mistake.


    Meanwhile, Zhu Huo had taken the wooden box.


    The moment the wooden box was opened, Lin Pin reacted immediately. A dagger appeared in his hand without him moving.


    It was the Ink Dagger.


    They all looked at him, startled by his sudden movement.


    Lin Pin knew that he had overreacted. He retracted from the black dagger and explained, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I sensed a very strong murderous aura in the box just now.¡±


    Feng Ling smiled, took the wooden box again, and opened it. Then he turned to the men.


    A Six-Faced Han Sword lay inside, emitting a cold aura.


    ¡°Good sword!¡± Two voices sounded at the same time, which were naturally from Zhang Zhanguo and Zhu Huo.


    Feng Ling picked up his sword and brandished it. Rays of cold light flashed. it was breathtaking.


    He replaced the sword in its case and pushed it forward. ¡°Please.¡±


    Chen Baisheng looked at the two of them. ¡°Master Zhang? Mr. Zhu?¡±


    ¡°Good, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Zhang Zhangguo took out a handkerchief, grabbed the sword, and lifted it up.

 Chapter 28 - Poet Zhu Huo

    Chapter 28 Poet Zhu Huo


    ¡°Good sword!¡±


    There was another exclamation of admiration, and Zhu Huo leaned forward to examine it.


    ¡°The body of the sword is broad, the blade is sharp, and the body is heavy. It has no edge, and it also has the posture of a sharp sword. Impressive!¡± Zhu Huo extended his thumb, not stingy with his praise.


    ¡°This Six-Faced Han Sword is of top-tier Mystic-grade!¡± Zhang Zhenguo concluded.


    Top-tier Mystic-grade?


    Chen Baisheng hurriedly asked, ¡°Little friend Feng, is this the weapon that killed the Yama a month ago?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s this Six-Faced Han Sword,¡± Feng Ling replied affirmatively. Then, he looked at Zhang Zhangguo and said, ¡°Master Zhang, you said that this sword is a top-tier Mystic-grade sword. Then, can you tell me now about the main classification of weapons in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡± After seeing the Six-Faced Han Sword, Zhang Zhenguo knew that this trip was worth it.


    ¡°With the improvement of modern forging technology, many modern alloy weapons have actually surpassed some so-called divine weapons in ancient times. However, Forgers are still valued because ranked weapons cannot be forged by modern craftsmanship.¡±


    ¡°The current weapon level is mainly divided into nine levels in terms of hardness, sharpness, tenacity and so on. In fact, for ordinary people, a level nine weapon is already enough to be lethal. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that it can even slice through hair.¡±


    ¡°Anything above level nine is ranked.¡±


    ¡°The reason why ranked weapons are strong is mainly because of ranked supernatural beings. I heard that Boss Feng is also a ranked expert. Then, Boss Feng should know that ranked supernatural beings can attach their essence energy to their weapons.¡±


    ¡°But actually, the word ¡®attached¡¯ is used very loosely, because even essence energy can even be attached to ordinary kitchen knives. The strength of the actual ranked weapon has to be judged by ¡®scalability.''¡± ¡°The so-called ¡®scalability¡¯ is the extent to which ranked martial artists will not be hindered when transferring their energy to weapons.¡±


    ¡°There are a total of four grades of ranked weapons: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. Heaven-rank weapons are completely transparent and do not consume any essence energy.¡±


    ¡°Below the Heaven-grade, 30% each for Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. They are divided into top-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier. Your Six-Faced Han Sword is top-tier Mystic-grade.¡±


    Zhang Zhenguo spoke in detail, and Feng Ling understood.


    Simply put, the strength of a ranked weapon depended on its ¡°consumption of essence energy.¡±


    When essence energy attaches to a weapon, it would form a certain amount of consumption in the process.


    Ordinary weapons consumed 100% of the same amount of essence energy. 90% was Low-tier yellow-grade, mid-tier was 80%, top-tier was 70%, and low-tier mystic-grade was 60%¡­


    Going by this logic, when a weapon did not consume any essence energy at all and could be wielded by the user as if it were an arm, it would be the best existence as a heaven-grade.


    ¡°As expected, ranked weapons correspond to the levels that I mentioned. Even though both have different descriptions, the logic is the same. It¡¯s just that this version is more detailed.¡±


    Feng Ling thought to himself and cupped his fists in thanks to Zhang Zhenguo.


    Zhang Zhangguo smiled and waved his hand. He asked, ¡°Boss, did you forge this Six-Faced Han Sword?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. However, I did not have a use for it after it was forged, therefore it was sealed in this wooden box until the the Yama caused trouble.¡±


    Chen Baisheng saw Feng Ling admit it and knew that the main event was coming.


    He was a layman, but Zhang Zhenguo was a true Master Forger.


    Whether Feng Ling was a Master Forger or not, they would know after a few words.


    Sure enough, Zhang Zhanguo put the Six-Faced Han Sword back into the box and asked, ¡°I wonder if the boss has any other works?¡±


    ¡°Naturally. One moment, please!¡±


    With that, Feng Ling went behind the counter and took out a long box from below. He came to them and smiled. ¡°Are you two interested?¡±


    Zhu Huo brightened and turned to Zhang Zhangguo. ¡°Master Zhang, why don¡¯t you let me do it?¡±


    Zhang Zhangguo¡¯s eyes also lit up as he looked at the box in front of him. However, he had already quite a lot just now, and Zhu Huo was a junior. Since he had taken the initiative to speak, he was too embarrassed to argue. He could only smile and nod and make a gesture of invitation.


    ¡°Thank you, Master Zhang.¡±


    After cupping his fists in thanks, Zhu Huo stood up with a smile and circled the box twice. Then, he squatted down and patted somewhere. With a clang, a shining thin sword was held in his hand.


    ¡°Good! It¡¯s as thin as a cicada¡¯s wing and as soft as a spring. It¡¯s a low-tier Mystic-grade sword. I wonder if Boss has a name for this sword?¡±


    ¡°Enlightened Sword!¡±


    ¡°I see the sword as myself. My heart is clear and my desires are not covered by dust. Enlightened Sword, what a good name!¡±


    Zhu Huo put it back into the box and tapped another spot. A knife handle popped out. He reached for it and pulled. A long knife came out.


    ¡°Good knife! Narrow blade edge takes life while the thick back doesn¡¯t. This knife?¡±


    Feng Ling replied, ¡°The ring-headed Bull Slaying Knife.¡±


    ¡°What a Bull Slaying Knife!¡±


    Zhu Huo put the Bull Slaying Knife back and opened a small hole in the side of the box. He pulled out a piece of white gauze.


    Chen Baisheng was slightly stunned. What was this?


    Zhu Huo laughed even louder. ¡°An inch of light awakens the soul, beautifies over a long distance.¡±


    Feng Ling found this person interesting. He could actually compose a poem for every weapon. He immediately echoed, ¡°The silver needles that save the dying and heals.¡±


    ¡°Good name! Good needle too!¡±


    Zhu Huo withdrew the silver needle and finally placed his hands on the chest¡¯s opening


    He pressed down after taking a deep breath. A short knife popped out, reflecting his face and his surprise.


    Slap!


    Zhu Huo reached out and grabbed the Pig Slaughtering Knife.


    He did not express his feelings. He just looked at Feng Ling and asked seriously, ¡°Master Feng, this knife?¡±


    ¡°Make the best of everything, Pig Slaughtering Knife.¡±


    Buzz!!


    A surge of essence energy suddenly burst forth from the Pig Slaughtering Knife, and the few of them were shocked.


    Zhu Huo¡¯s face also flashed with shock. His essence energy dissipated. He looked at Zhang Zhenguo in disbelief and then at Feng Ling.


    Zhang Zhenguo could tell that he was in a bad mood. His old eyes narrowed as he probed, ¡°Earth-grade?¡±


    Zhu Huo put the Pig Slaughtering Knife back in the box and sealed it.


    Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said, ¡°The finished product won¡¯t take more than an hour. It¡¯s has 99% chance that it would be of top-tier earth-grade, a medium-grade item!¡±


    The few of them were breathing heavily. There was a 99% chance that they were of top-tier Earth-grade.


    Chen Baisheng was first shocked, then overjoyed.


    A top-tier Earth-grade item!


    This was a top-notch weapon that was only inferior to a heaven-grade weapon. Even the Peaceful Spirit Bureau had a pitiful number of them, and they had to be inherited.


    And the finished product would need less than an hour¡­ That was even more surprising!


    Feng Ling¡¯s forging strength was probably even stronger than what he showed now!


    As expected of a Master Forger personally endorsed by Minister Duan¡­


    ¡°Master Feng, impressive!¡±


    Chen Baisheng was slightly stunned. He had yet to speak, so why did he say it out loud? Was he dreaming?


    He turned around and saw Lin Pin sticking out his thumb with a respectful expression.


    Chen Baisheng: ¡­ You¡¯re so fast!

 Chapter 29 - Master Feng Lings True Temperament!

    Chapter 29 Master Feng Ling¡¯s True Temperament!


    Zhang Zhangguo looked at Feng Ling in surprise. He was a top-notch Master Forger himself, and he had successfully forged superior weapons of top-tier earth-grade.


    However, he was 41 years old that year. It was the only time in his life that he performed exceptionally well and was praised as a forging genius.


    As for the Feng Ling in front of him, he was at most in his twenties. In the future, he might be able to become a Grandmaster Forging Master and forge a heaven-grade weapon.


    Geniuses were also divided into levels¡­


    Zhang Zhenguo was a little happy even though he let out a bitter smile.


    If he could frequently discuss with Feng Ling, could his forging attainments still improve?


    It was not enough for Feng Ling to just inherit this level of skill. It was more of his own forging skills and comprehension.


    Two Masters had two completely different kinds of forging thoughts. If they could communicate with each other, it would be very beneficial to both parties.


    Of course, there was an even more frightening guess¡ªthis knife was not the pinnacle of Feng Ling¡¯s work.


    If that was really the case, then if he could be taught a thing or two, he might be able to open the door to becoming a Grandmaster Blacksmith.


    ¡°What a young hero!¡± Zhang Zhenguo sighed. ¡°Deputy Director Chen, there¡¯s no doubt about Master Feng¡¯s forging standards,¡± Zhu Huo said with final affirmation.


    Chen Baisheng couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly in his heart. Of course, he no longer had any doubts.


    Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Feng Ling was not a Master Forger and all of this was fake, the Mystic-grade kitchenware was not fake, and the box of weapons in front of him was not fake.


    Even if he could take out an Earth-grade weapon¡­


    ¡°Master Feng Ling, let me directly talk about the treatment that Peaceful Spirit Bureau can give.¡± Chen Baisheng directly changed the way he addressed him and used honorifics.


    Feng Ling nodded. ¡°I¡¯m all ears.¡±


    ¡°To be cautious, our next words will be recorded. Does Master Feng Ling mind?¡± Chen Baisheng took out a small recording pen and asked.


    Feng Ling smiled. ¡°Of course not. Please send me a copy later if you can.¡±


    ¡°Two copies as it should be.¡±


    Chen Baisheng opened the recording pen and said seriously,


    ¡°Master Forger and the Peaceful Spirit Bureau have reached an agreement. They will tacitly become external personnel of the Forging Department, while the Master Forger will tacitly become a guest of the Forging Department. They will receive benefits from the country and enjoy the treatment of the Master Forger.¡±


    ¡°Master Forger¡¯s Treatment: 10 million yuan in forging funds every year, priority for the purchase of new materials. In addition, the sale of every ranked weapon will enjoy an additional 5% average market price subsidy.¡±


    Feng Ling nodded secretly. This treatment was quite generous. The amount of funds was secondary. The priority of buying new materials was what really attracted Forgers.


    As for the 5% sales allowance, it should also be to control the flow of ranked weapons.


    ¡°If we reach an agreement with Peaceful Spirit Bureau, Peaceful Spirit Bureau will give us an additional 10 million yuan forging funds every year. At the same time, 5 million yuan in additional living allowance every year will be reimbursed by the Peaceful Spirit Bureau. In addition, every Master Forger will be protected by a ranked expert, and their families will also be taken care of by the country.¡±


    Feng Ling was a little shocked. He did not expect a Master Forger to be treated like this.


    Just the funding alone was 25 million yuan. Coupled with all kinds of benefits, it had to be said that it was quite generous!


    However, he also understood that these benefits were not given for free.


    ¡°What do I have to pay?¡± Feng Ling asked.


    Feng Ling asked bluntly. Chen Baisheng did not beat around the bush and said directly,


    ¡°Help the Peaceful Spirit Bureau forge two low-tier yellow-grade weapons every month. The Peaceful Spirit Bureau will provide four sets of materials. If you can forge an additional weapon, it will be yours. If the weapon is mid-tier or top-tier yellow-grade, the Peaceful Spirit Bureau will give you a 5% return price.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s a Mystic-grade weapon, you would only need to make one every month. There will still be a return benefit for mid-tier and top-tier weapons.¡±


    ¡°Earth-grade weapons can be forged once every six months. Every time they are used, you will be given a 5% commission.¡±


    ¡°In addition, there¡¯s something else that needs to be explained in advance. If a war breaks out in the nearby area, the Forgers need to go to support and carry out weapon forging and repair work.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it. I wonder if you have any intention of working with us?¡±


    After saying that, Chen Baisheng looked at Feng Ling nervously.


    A top-tier Master Forger who could create top-tier earth-quality weapons was a distinguished guest even in the top cities.


    The reason why Zhang Zhangguo stayed in Mu Liang City was not because their Mu Liang City could offer any good conditions. It was just that Zhang Zhangguo came from Mu Liang City and took the initiative to apply for it when he was about to retire.


    If Feng Ling could agree, then the strength of Mu Liang City would increase by at least 30%!


    ¡°Cooperation is fine, but I have to figure out a few things. At the same time, there are a few conditions.¡± Feng Ling knew from the looks of the few of them that the initiative had already come into his hands.


    ¡°Please speak, Master Feng Ling.¡±


    ¡°If we work together, who will have the weapons I forge?¡± Feng Ling asked seriously, because this was one of the most necessary questions.


    One of the purposes of his cooperation was to increase his strength. If these weapons fell into the hands of some big shots behind the scenes, it would be meaningless to him.


    ¡°Master Feng Ling, don¡¯t worry. We will carry out all the weapons deployment according to our contributions. We will definitely not let anyone disgrace the weapons you forged,¡± Chen Baisheng said solemnly.


    However, to his surprise, Feng Ling shook his head.


    ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡±


    Without waiting for him to ask, Feng Ling said, ¡°I¡¯m willing to cooperate with you because you¡¯re the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, not the Riches Bureau. Disgrace? What do you mean disgrace? It would be a disgrace if someone held a weapon in their hands and couldn¡¯t kill the enemy.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, my first condition is that I forge an additional ranked weapon every month. However, the weapons I forge will be completely distributed to the warriors at the front line. If the damage is less than fifty percent, they can be sent back for me to repair. The materials will be provided by you and I will do the labor for free.¡±


    As soon as he said this, the four people present instantly looked at Feng Ling differently.


    Respect.


    They never expected that the so-called ¡°condition¡± of Feng Ling was actually like this.


    ¡°Master Feng Ling is a true hero!¡± Lin Pin couldn¡¯t help but praise loudly.


    ¡°Master Feng Ling, don¡¯t worry. We agree to this condition!¡± Chen Baisheng seemed to be afraid that Feng Ling would go back on his word and immediately decided.


    The other three silently looked at him with disdain.


    Just the ¡°free repair¡± aspect alone was already a huge advantage but he sounded like he made a major decision.


    It was extremely difficult to repair a ranked weapon. It had to be done by a Master Forger.


    Even though it was not as difficult as forging a new weapon, it would still take a lot of effort.


    Not to mention that there would be an additional ranked weapon every month. That would mean there would be twelve additional weapons in a month!


    Even the donkeys of the production team wouldn¡¯t dare to play this way!


    But that was something they admired.


    Master Feng Ling¡¯s compassion was touching!

 Chapter 30 - A Small Meeting Gift

    Chapter 30 A Small Meeting Gift


    Many times, it was indeed the frontline warriors who fought with kitchen knives while the ranked weapons ate dirt in the warehouse.


    There were many reasons for this phenomenon. It wasn¡¯t like one person could solve the problem.


    However, according to Feng Ling¡¯s conditions, the weapons he forged would be distributed to the first-line warriors to the greatest extent.


    Even though there might be some order problems in between, it was definitely a good thing for the frontline warriors.


    ¡°Thank you, Master Feng Ling. I thank you on behalf of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s battle team!¡± Among the few people present, Lin Pin was undoubtedly the most excited.


    As the leader of the battle team of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City, he was the highest combat power other than the director, a Level Seven supernatural being.


    But his weapon was only a yellow-grade ink dagger.


    It was not that he was ostracized and suppressed, but that there were really few ranked weapons.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to thank me. Director Chen, don¡¯t be in a hurry to agree. This condition is what I value the most.¡± Feng Ling waved his hand and emphasized.


    ¡°If I discover that one of the weapons is being used as a decoration, we will immediately terminate our cooperation and I will take back all the forges¡ªthis clause needs to be written into the contract.¡±


    ¡°Master Feng Ling, don¡¯t worry. I can still make the decision on this matter. If such a situation happens, I will personally deal with it!¡± Chen Baisheng said solemnly. At the same time, his regard for this matter had also increased by a level.


    ¡°Very well, then. I will state the second condition.¡±


    ¡°Change 90% of all my entitlement into ore resources.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Baisheng was a little hesitant. He looked at Zhang Zhenguo. In the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, everything else was fine, but ores and resources were prioritized by the Forging Division.


    As the person in charge of the Forging Division, Zhang Zhenguo was sitting here. He really could not agree immediately. ¡°No problem.¡± Zhang Zhenguo did not hesitate and agreed immediately.


    ¡°Master Forgers already have the priority to buy resources. This isn¡¯t much of a condition.¡±


    ¡°Good, satisfying.¡± Feng Ling heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he would be hindered by this condition.


    Zhang Zhenguo, a master blacksmith of the Peaceful Spiritual Bureau, might not think that materials were a problem when forging, but for some wild Forging Masters, materials were sometimes really precious items that could not be bought with money.


    There was no choice. Resources and materials were originally controlled by the country, and the number of them circulating in the market was limited.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that large factories and companies had bought too much ore material, it might even attract an investigation.


    Feng Ling had suffered in this aspect before, so he moonlighted as an UP Master and put up his identity as a ¡°wild researcher¡± to reduce some attention.


    ¡°Since both of you are so straightforward and sincere, I won¡¯t talk about anything else. I agree to this cooperation.¡±


    ¡°Hahahahaha, good, good, good!¡± Chen Baisheng laughed loudly. He was really happy.


    A Master Forger who could forge top-tier earth-grade weapons was roped in by him.


    He was not interested in these things to begin with, and he had no intention of climbing up at this age. Just the benefits to Mu Liang City were immeasurable.


    ¡°I¡¯ll have someone draw up the cooperation


    papers now.¡±


    The Serenity Bureau was very efficient, especially when a Master Forger was involved.


    Within 10 minutes, the text files and recording backups were all delivered. Feng Ling did not argue. He checked carefully and signed his name after confirming that there was no mistake.


    After signing the contract, Chen Baisheng personally transferred the reward for killing the three Yamas to Feng Ling before leaving.


    ewa


    As for Zhang Zhenguo and Zhu Huo, they were already enthusiastically communicating with Feng Ling.


    However, the two of them did not stay for long. After all, they still had a lot of work on hand.


    After the two of them left, someone quickly sent some proof materials and other documents over.


    The person who came was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure. He looked inconspicuous, but he was a Level Nine expert.


    ¡°Master Feng Ling, my name is Xiao Shan. From today onwards, I will be your personal assistant and be in charge of your safety.¡±


    Feng Ling originally wanted to reject this ranked expert who came to protect her.


    However, on second thought, he had already reached an agreement with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau. He could spend more energy studying forging in the future.


    Some errands could be left to others, and the people sent by the Peaceful Spirit Bureauu were naturally the best choice.


    Would it be a waste to let a ranked expert run errands?


    Heh, a Level Nine expert naturally could not just run errands. He would be a very good tool.


    ¡°Yes. It¡¯s the first time we¡¯ve met, and I¡¯m not prepared for it. What weapons are you used to?¡±


    Xiao Shan was stunned, but he immediately reacted and hurriedly replied, ¡°I¡¯m best at firearms. Cold weapons are long sabers.¡±


    ¡°Firearms, long knives¡­¡± Feng Ling nodded slightly, took the Bull Slaying Knife from the box, and threw it forward.


    Xiao Shan hurriedly caught it and looked at Feng Ling.


    ¡°Firearms are not in my research scope for the time being. Take this ring-shaped Bull Slaying Knife as a greeting gift. It was forged a long time ago. It¡¯s low-tier Mystic-grade item. I¡¯ll make do with it for now.¡±


    Feng Ling¡¯s words almost made Xiao Shan lose his grip on the Bull Slaying Knife in his hand.


    Low-tier Mystic-grade item, make do with it?


    Xiao Shan swallowed and finally understood why Chen Baisheng said that this was his chance.


    He had saved up three months¡¯ worth of merit points and an additional 500,000 yuan allowance before receiving an Ink Dagger in advance¡­


    Ink Dagger was a low-tier yellow-grade weapon. It could be said to be the most ordinary ranked weapon.


    And now, in less than two minutes, a Mystic-grade weapon had arrived in his hands?


    And it was a ring-headed knife that was quite suitable for him.


    ¡°Master Feng, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely treat it well. Let it¡­¡±


    Feng Ling raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Shan¡¯s next words. ¡°The best way to treat a weapon well is to let it kill as many enemies as possible. You don¡¯t have to give me any promises. Since you¡¯re here to work with me, I won¡¯t treat you badly.¡±


    Xiao Shan was silent for a long time before standing up and bowing solemnly. ¡°Thank you, Master Feng. I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you!¡±


    ¡°Alright, please sit down. I don¡¯t have any rules here. Unlike your Peaceful Spirit Bureau, don¡¯t be too restrained.¡±


    ¡°Yes, let me tell you about my next plan. I¡¯m prepared to spend most of my energy on forging. I¡¯ll leave this shop to you for the time being. Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you want to hire someone or manage it yourself. At least there has to be someone who can watch over this shop.¡±


    ¡°In addition, while I¡¯m forging, you¡¯re responsible for coming to contact the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and taking on the responsibility of a living assistant¡­ That¡¯s all. Do you have any questions?¡± ¡°No!¡±


    Feng Ling nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring you to familiarize yourself with the working environment first. You can officially start work tomorrow.¡±


    Feng Ling brought Xiao Shan to the small courtyard. Xiao Shan did not expect the living environment of a Master Forger to be so¡­ simple.


    Especially since Feng Ling was so young, he did not seem to be affected by the colorful and impetuous atmosphere outside.


    ¡°Perhaps that¡¯s why he became a Master Forger at such a young age.¡±

 Chapter 31 - Master

    Chapter 31 Master


    Xiao Shan secretly admired Feng Ling¡¯s simple lifestyle and was also glad.


    He was from the military and had seen the true suffering of the human world. He was more sensitive in some aspects.


    Even though he had to tolerate it sometimes, Feng Ling¡¯s style still made him feel very comfortable.


    After circling around, Xiao Shan discovered a problem.


    Feng Ling didn¡¯t seem to have mentioned where should he be staying. However, when he asked this question, Feng Ling looked surprised.


    ¡°You¡¯re here to be a life assistant, so of course you have to have a working time. Eight to five, rest on Saturdays and Sundays, normal holidays, strictly no overtime. You can either go to the shop or come to my place during working hours. You can freely allocate the rest of your time.¡±


    Xiao Shan¡¯s face was blank. Eight to five, two days off on weekends, and no overtime during the holidays?


    Was he here to work or to enjoy a decadent life?


    ¡°Why, is ther something you don¡¯t understand?¡±


    ¡°Uh, I can understand, but¡ª¡±


    ¡°No buts. Alright, you can go back today. Tomorrow is the start of work. As for Chief Chen, if he asks, call me directly.¡±


    Xiao Shan left the small courtyard with a dumbfounded expression. When he got into the car, he finally pinched himself.


    Feeling the pain in his thigh, Xiao Shan finally reacted. He took out his phone and called Chen Baisheng.


    When Chen Baisheng heard Xiao Shan¡¯s report, he was also numb.


    I sent someone over to protect you, but you want him to have nine-to-five working hours and holidays during weekend?


    Why did he suddenly feel an inexplicable envy?


    Ah, no, how can I protect you like this?!


    Chen Baisheng cursed crazily in his heart, but on second thought, Feng Ling herself was a ranked expert, and her strength was probably not inferior to Lin Pin¡¯s. A Level Nine supernatural being really seemed to be only a living assistant¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s do as he says. But be careful. We have to do what he tells us to do¡­¡±


    After sending Xiao Shan off, Feng Ling came to a room.


    The decor in the room was old but clean. A black-and-white photograph was on an eight-seater table facing the door. There was a jug of wine, two wine glasses and three packs of cigarettes in front of the photograph.


    It was a picture of an old man. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He was very thin, with protruding cheekbones and wrinkles stacked on top of each other.


    He was Feng Ling¡¯s master and the person who had raised Feng Ling, Ou Tianci.


    Feng Ling stood still in front of the table and looked at the photo for a long time before speaking slowly in a low voice.


    ¡°Master, you advised me not to deal with the officials. You said that they were too black-hearted and I was too stupid¡­¡±


    ¡°But times are different now. The current government is not the same as before¡­¡±


    ¡°Besides, Master, do you know that I¡¯ve killed demons and devils these days? I¡¯ve even seen gods that I don¡¯t know if they¡¯re real or fake¡­ This world makes me feel so unfamiliar all of a sudden. I seem to have transmigrated. They even said that I¡¯m some ranked expert.¡±


    ¡°I know my limits. Really, Master, I¡¯m very sober now. That¡¯s why I came over to let you know.¡±


    ¡°In the past 18 years, it was you who allowed me to live and taught me my skills. Later on, it was the current government who helped me a lot. We¡¯re not good people who save the needy. We have our own selfish motives, but just as you said back then, many things have happened, and we have some ability, so we have to help if we can. What if others help us? Then we¡¯ll know how to repay kindness and can¡¯t be ungrateful.¡±


    ¡°Besides, I won¡¯t be at a disadvantage. You might not believe it, but I, your disciple, have obtained the huge opportunity you mentioned. It¡¯s quite baffling and unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if this world is lucky or unlucky for me now, but there¡¯s no need to hide the skills you taught me. Alright, then I have to let people know that our Armament Workshop doesn¡¯t sell pots and pans. We have plenty of good things.¡±


    ¡°Oh, right, Martial Uncle Duan came not long ago and cried. He cried even harder than when I was young, but I didn¡¯t acknowledge him. I can tell that he became a big shot like you said and didn¡¯t disappoint you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s all for now. Take a rest. I¡¯ll talk to you another day.¡±


    The second day of October on the lunar calendar, the day before the beginning of winter.


    The day was clear and sunny.


    Xiao Shan arrived at Feng Ling¡¯s small courtyard early in the morning, but the small courtyard was not open. He didn¡¯t knock, just waited quietly outside.


    Feng Ling was sorting out the materials in the courtyard while calculating her forging


    efficiency.


    The better the quality of the weapon, the more time and effort it would take.


    For example, an earth-grade Pig Slaughtering Knife could be forged in two hours, but it still needed some time to recover its strength and energy.


    All of this time added together was the final forging time for a weapon.


    According Feng Ling¡¯s calculations, if it was an earth-grade weapon, two weapons a day was normal speed without overtime.


    If it was a Mystic-grade, he could do four items a day. Yellow-grade was the simplest, eight items a day.


    However, he could not expose his forging speed. From his conversation with Zhang Zhenguo and the others yesterday, there was also a gap between the Master Forgers.


    And the difference was quite huge!


    Overall, the gap reflected two aspects.


    One was the quality of the weapon, and the other was the forging speed.


    Needless to say, the quality of forging weapons was different.


    Forging speed was also an important indicator of the value of a master forger.


    An ordinary Master Forger, with the help of several Master Forgers, could forge yellow-grade weapons at a maximum rate of three a month.


    The stronger Master Forgers could make five weapons a month.


    For example, Zhang Zhenguo could forge six swords at his peak.


    It was not that the other Forgers were too useless, but the forging of ranked weapons was too cumbersome.


    A ranked weapon required ¡°scalability¡±. On the one hand, the requirements for the refinement of materials were very high, and on the other hand, there were also requirements for the Forgers himself.


    In order to forge a ranked weapon, a Forger had to cultivate essence energy.


    It might not necessarily reach the level of a ranked expert, but at least it could guarantee that the weapon he forged could adapt to essence energy.


    In most cases, to increase the efficiency of forging, Forgers needed the assistance of ranked experts.


    A ranked expert would release essence energy as a bridge to help the master and the Forging Master communicate.


    However, the amount of essence energy that ordinary ranked experts could release was also very limited. After a certain period of time, they also needed to rest, and Forgers also needed to recover their stamina and energy.


    This way, the efficiency was naturally lower.


    However, if a Master Forger was a ranked expert, he would have sufficient essence energy. This could undoubtedly save a lot of time.


    According to Zhang Zhangguo, the fastest forging speed was a forging genius in the capital.


    He had the strength of a Level Eight martial artist and had broken the record of 20 swords a month!


    This forging speed was more than six times that of an ordinary Master Forger!


    And Feng Ling was different from these Master Forgers.

 Chapter 32 - A New Level Of The Blood - Robe

    Chapter 32 A New Level Of The Blood ¨C Robe


    Feng Ling didn¡¯t have any essence energy in her body, only spiritual energy.


    He was particular about ¡°breathing synchronizations during the forging process.


    During the forging process, he circulated the breathing technique and achieved an ingenious synergy with the forging.


    While improving himself, he also brought up the grade of the weapon.


    This was also the strength of the Armament Workshop¡¯s inheritance. After cultivating spiritual power, the terrifying power of the breathing technique was vividly displayed


    Forging = Cultivation + Weapon Advancement.


    Feng Ling had tempered his body since he was young. Later on, he had the Heaven and Earth technique to allow his physique to grow rapidly, so his physical strength and energy far exceeded ordinary Forgings.


    His forging speed had naturally reached an astonishing level.


    Even though he couldn¡¯t expose his forging speed, he had to get his weapon to the battle personnel of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau as soon as possible.


    The sooner the weapon was in place, the earlier his various cultivation techniques and divine powers could begin to improve, and the strength of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau could also be strengthened.


    Killing two birds with one stone.


    Therefore, he was prepared to go all out in the first month. He would increase the number of the first batch of tools first and say that they were from the previous inventory.


    In the middle, it was mainly yellow-grade and mystic-grade. As for earth-grade¡­ it required too much energy. It was not worth it in the early stages. ¡°I don¡¯t think I have enough material storage right now¡­ but I¡¯ll sell these weapons to the Peaceful Spirit Bureau first. I¡¯ll exchange them all for materials and cycle them. This won¡¯t be a problem anymore.¡±


    Feng Ling made a plan, then made a list and instructed Nine Rings to start work.


    There was the sound of hammering, and Feng Ling opened the door. ¡°Master Feng.¡±


    Xiao Shan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him. Feng Ling smiled. ¡°Good morning. Come in.¡±


    After bringing Xiao Shan into the courtyard, Feng Ling handed him the list and a long box. ¡°There are two ranked swords inside. Take them to the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and tell them that this is not the mission for this month. Instead, it¡¯s for sale. Change the money obtained into the materials on the list. Do you understand?¡±


    Xiao Shan took the long box and the list and said solemnly, ¡°I promise to complete the mission!¡±


    This was the first time he had done anything. He had to finish it beautifully.


    Feng Ling ordered the materials and entered the forging room.


    This drill lasted for an entire month.


    During this period, Xiao Shan¡¯s job was to constantly transport materials. For this, he directly applied for a small truck from the bureau.


    As for other than transporting materials¡­


    He stayed in the small courtyard during work hours and listened to the banging sounds in the forging room. He watched as the nine rings clanged and left directly when it was time to get off work.


    It was really idle.


    A month later.


    When Xiao Shan arrived at work, he realized that it was a little quiet today.


    So the hammering was gone.


    Xiao Shan was afraid that something would happen. He pushed open the door and saw that Feng Ling was eating breakfast. He was relieved.


    as


    jas


    ¡°Master Feng.¡±


    ¡°Coming.¡± Feng Ling drained his bowl of noodle soup, wiped his mouth, went to the forge door and opened it.


    ¡°Send these to Chief Chen. I¡¯ve recently forged some of them and have some in stock, so the quality is not unique. Let him find someone to appraise them himself.¡±


    Feng Ling pointed to the inner room. ¡°Let¡¯s deduct the number of missions this year first and change the rest to materials¡­ Well, change them to money first. There will probably be a lot of materials that can¡¯t be put away.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Xiao Shan immediately stepped forward and prepared to move the weapon away.


    However, when he saw the pile of weapons by the wall, he could not help but be stunned.


    ¡®That¡¯s right. A pile.¡¯


    Xiao Shan looked at the pile of ranked weapons that seemed to have been wholesale from Yiwu and was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Ma- Master Feng-all of them?¡± He turned his head stiffly in disbelief.


    ¡°Ahem, I have a lot of stock.¡± Feng Ling coughed lightly, knowing why Xiao Shan had such a reaction.


    There were more than 200 ranked weapons after all. Together, they were quite impactful. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else for you to do today after you deliver these. I¡¯ll take a day off too. Go deliver them.¡±


    Feng Ling turned and entered the house.


    Xiao Shan stared blankly for a while. Instead of making a move, he dialed Chen Baisheng¡¯s number.


    ¡°Deputy Director, there¡¯s something I have to report to you.¡±


    ¡­ Half an hour later.


    Chen Baisheng brought a combat team to the small courtyard. When he saw the swords and knives casually piled on the ground, he was dumbfounded.


    For some reason, the blades in front of him gave him a sense of cheapness.


    Several members of the battle group swallowed involuntarily.


    At a cursory glance, there were more than a hundred of them.


    ¡°Appraise it. Never mind. I¡¯ll take it back to the station first.¡±


    Chen Baisheng looked at his surroundings and felt that it was not safe.


    The group moved quickly. When they carried all these weapons onto the car, the number was counted.


    There were a total of 231 weapons!


    Even Chen Baisheng, who had seen many big scenes, was a little nervous at this moment. He was really f*cking afraid that someone would come and snatch it!


    And the others had gone mad.


    What did it mean to have more than two hundred ranked weapons?


    Let¡¯s put it this way. In their Mu Liang Peaceful Spirit Bureau, each ranked martial artist could take two, and they could even have one on their waist!


    They could be arrogant!


    The group came and went quickly. The small courtyard fell silent again.


    After hearing that everyone had left, Feng Ling took out a Fly¡¯s Blood Bead and entered the Blood -Robe Realm.


    He had gained a lot from this month of continuous forging.


    Never before had he been so focused and long in his casting


    For a while in between, he entered a state of great wonder.


    His soul seemed to split apart. Half of it controlled the forging of his body, while the other half separated from his body and could see what was happening outside the forging room.


    He ¡°saw¡¯ Nine Rings forging iron, ¡°saw¡± Xiao Shan cultivating, and also saw the strange energy drifting between heaven and earth.


    This feeling lasted for a few days. When the other half of his soul returned to his body, Feng Ling suddenly realized that he had already entered the basics of the ¡°Eastern Purple Qi Technique¡±!


    As his soul grew stronger, he had a vague feeling that his strength had reached a bottleneck.


    If he wanted to take it one step further, it was no longer effective to train hard in the house.


    He needed to fight more and master the techniques and divine powers on his body to truly become his.


    After entering the Blood ¨C Robe Realm, Feng Ling did not continue to be obsequious. His soul swept over, covering a radius of ten miles.


    The Blood ¨C Robe Guides had nowhere to hide, and Feng Ling had no mercy.


    After advancing for nearly a hundred miles, Feng Ling discovered the difference again.


    There was actually an ¡°empty spot¡± under a pile of Blood Firefly Stones not far in front of him.


    Feng Ling came closer, picked away the Blood Firefly Stones, and looked at the strange place.


    However, the Blood-Robe Realm was too special and could not be observed with the naked eye. Feng Ling could only extend his soul and explore below.


    Feng Ling ¡°saw¡± that there was a space similar to the Blood-Robed World below.


    However, unlike the Blood-Robe World, the space below seemed like it could offer more!

 Chapter 33 - Tense Situation

    Chapter 33 Tense Situation


    If the Blood-Robe Realm he was in was a vast ocean, the Blood-Robe Guides were the only living things.


    Then the Blood-Robed Realm below would be land!


    Though the color was still the same blood-red, the species on ¡°land¡± was clearly richer.


    The most obvious was the appearance of plants, and more varieties of¡­ bugs.


    Because the range of the soul¡¯s detection was limited, Feng Ling could not see the whole picture.


    Feng Ling retracted his soul and did not act rashly.


    A complex biological structure represented a variety of dangerous factors.


    The key was that Feng Ling could not be sure if the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead in his hand would still be effective after entering the Blood ¨C Robe Realm below.


    The Blood ¨C Robe Realm was unpredictable. Once he entered the lower level, the terrain would change and the Fly¡¯s Blood Bead would lose its effect¡­


    Then he would really die inside.


    Suppressing his emotions, Feng Ling put the Blood Firefly Stone into his backpack and continued forward.


    Along the way, he discovered another pile of Blood Firefly Stones. Below it, there was also a passageway to the next level.


    This made Feng Ling feel slightly relieved. At least this proved that the passageway was not unique.


    Sensing that his soul was almost exhausted, Feng Ling left the Blood-Robe World.


    At this moment, the sky outside was already a little dark. Feng Ling compared the time and realized that he had actually stayed inside for a full eight hours!


    Recalling his first sorry state and looking at the current length, Feng Ling was quite satisfied.


    It was indeed not easy for his soul to grow to this extent in the past two months.


    At this moment, a notification suddenly sounded in his mind:


    (The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has completed the kill. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has improved by 5 points.]


    Feng Ling winced, then understood.


    It seemed that the first batch of weapons he forged had already begun to contribute.


    Soon, a few more notifications came one after another. All the techniques and divine powers had improved to different degrees.


    ¡°This feeling is like a small game with a hack. The rebate mechanism of ¡®Equipment Strategy¡¯ is indeed strong¡­¡±


    Feng Ling thought to herself, I can even produce a book


    ¡®I can become stronger through AFK!¡¯


    ¡°But are there so many demons now? This is only Mu Liang City¡­¡±


    Feng Ling frowned at the notifications that popped up from time to time.


    ¡°Careful, prepare to fire!¡±


    ¡°Have the perimeter construct a defense line. Don¡¯t let it get away.¡±


    ¡°Backup will be here soon¡­¡±


    Just as Feng Ling was deep in thought, a few shouts suddenly came from outside the courtyard.


    Feng Ling looked at the surveillance camera and saw a combat team surrounding a two-headed dog.


    Because there had never been a ranked demon beast here and there were extremely insufficient manpower, there were no ranked experts sent here.


    The area around Feng Ling had already been sealed off by the army, and there were three combat teams stationed inside.


    According to the classification of supernatural beings, these three combat teams should be between level seven and level nine. They had already cultivated essence energy in their bodies, but they had yet to reach the level of ranked.


    The two-headed dog had yet to enter the ranks, but its speed was so fast that this battle team could not stop it at all.


    Even the surveillance frequency could not keep up with its speed, and the image seemed a little blurry.


    Chi ¨C


    The two-headed dog did not escape. Its four eyes flashed with mockery as it suddenly slowed down. Its head also howled.


    The three members of the combat team were delighted when they saw this. This two-headed dog was too fast. Not to mention attacking, they could only follow behind and eat soil.


    Seeing that the two-headed dog had finally slowed down, the three of them were invigorated.


    However, just as they were about to approach, the two-headed dog let out another howl and suddenly accelerated, pulling away again.


    But this time it didn¡¯t get far before it slowed down again.


    ¡°F*ck, why do I feel like this beast is walking us?¡± One of the team members couldn¡¯t help but spit.


    ¡°You two spread out. Since we can¡¯t catch up, we¡¯ll block it. The second team will be here soon. Six people can completely seal it off.¡±


    ¡°Roger that!¡±


    The three of them changed tactics and gradually split up. At the same time, they contacted another team and asked them to come over.


    Perhaps sensing danger or having had enough fun, the two-headed dog suddenly sped up and charged at one of them just as they were about to surround it.


    ¡°Guo Dasen, be careful!!¡±


    This team member named Guo Dasen was not a layman either. He held a spear in his left hand and a saber in his right. The few vital energies in his arms gave him a stable output guarantee.


    Bang!


    No matter how fast the two-headed dog was, it was too late to dodge.


    After all, there was a good saying:


    The gun is fast outside of seven paces; the gun was fast and accurate within seven paces.


    However, the two-headed dog only grunted. Its body instantly doubled in size, and it was as strong as a calf!


    Guo Dasen raised his gun and fired again. The two-headed dog continued to charge forward.


    It was close!


    Guo Dassen¡¯s reaction was also extremely fast. He had already understood that although the pistol was powerful, the area of damage that the bullets could cause was too small. The two-headed dog¡¯s defense was also extremely shocking. Even if it took two bullets, it could not cause any fatal injuries.


    As for the two of them, it was already too late to provide support.


    If the man and the dog were too close, it would be a serious matter if they accidentally injured each other.


    At this critical moment, Guo Dasen decisively threw his gun and raised his saber to block the two-headed dog¡¯s fatal blow.


    Dang ¨C


    The blade and the two-headed dog¡¯s teeth collided with a metallic sound.


    However, another huge mouth was already biting at Guo Dasen.


    ¡°My life is over ~¡±


    Guo Dasen was desperate, but in the next moment, a palm suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed the ferocious canine teeth.


    Feng Ling backhanded him, and the dog¡¯s head flew up in a spray of blood.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you, Master Feng!¡± Guo Dasen recovered from his despair and thanked him repeatedly.


    Those of them who had been sent over had already been told some things.


    The young man in front of them, who was younger than them, was already a Master Forger.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I should be the one thanking you,¡± Feng Ling said seriously.


    ¡°It¡¯s my duty.¡± Guo Dasen smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I troubled Master Feng in saving me. My name is Guo Dasen. I¡¯ll remember Master Feng¡¯s kindness.¡±


    Feng Ling waved his hand and said, ¡°Even though this two-headed dog hasn¡¯t entered the ranks yet, it¡¯s not an ordinary demon beast. Its strength is so strong that I¡¯m afraid ordinary Level Nine experts will have to spend some effort to take it down.¡±


    Guo Dasen sighed and said helplessly, ¡°The strength of these demon beasts that have appeared recently is getting harder and harder to deal with. In the beginning, the two of us could still deal with them with some effort, but in the past few days, we have to work together to kill them.¡±


    ¡°Didnt Peaceful Spirit Bureau send any ranked experts over?¡± Feng Ling asked with a frown.


    At this moment, the other two members of the combat team arrived. When they heard Feng Ling¡¯s words, they couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly and explain, ¡°We¡¯ve already reported the situation, but the current situation is very bad. The ranked experts can¡¯t split themselves up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that a small-scale beast tide has already erupted in a certain area, especially in some forests and fields. Many commoners have already been relocated¡­¡±


    Feng Ling nodded in understanding. This was indeed beyond his expectations.


    But then he felt that something was wrong.


    All of this seemed to have happened too quickly.

 Chapter 34 - The Wind Rises

    Chapter 34 The Wind Rises


    Feng Ling began to train his body at the age of eight and cultivated spiritual power at the age of ten.


    It had been eight years.


    But before this, he had always only treated demons and gods as myths and legends. He had never thought that these were real, let alone seeing them with his own eyes.


    However, it had only been three months since the white fox blocked his way. Not only had he seen demons, but his hands were also stained with the blood of several demons.


    According to Guo Dasen and the others, there were actually demon beasts appearing on a large scale in some places!


    This development gave Feng Ling the feeling that someone had planned for a long time and finally started to take action this year.


    Recalling the words of the three white foxes at the beginning, there had long been a great demon who transformed into a human and mixed in the human world.


    Could it be that these were big demons?


    Feng Ling shook his head, feeling that it was more than that.


    The current situation was not actually caused by the big demons. Instead, these unranked demon beasts were more troublesome.


    Their combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, and there were many of them. Some of them were even extremely intelligent.


    The key was that more than one place had appeared. This undoubtedly stretched the battle line.


    It also forced Peaceful Spirit Bureau to disperse its combat power.


    ¡°Also, the origin of these demon beasts are quite mysterious.¡±


    Feng Ling made a judgment on the current situation, and the sense of urgency intensified.


    After bidding farewell to Guo Dasen¡¯s squad, Feng Ling returned to the courtyard and began to forge.


    He had to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he could protect himself in the upcoming chaos.


    At this moment, a meeting was about to begin at the headquarters of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in the capital.


    Apart from the big shots of the military, there were also the main person-in-charge of the other departments present. The person leading the meeting was the head of Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s department, Xu Xianren.


    Xu Xianren looked to be in his early sixties. His short gray hair did not look dispirited. Instead, he looked energetic.


    His small eyes were bright and clear, as if they contained infinite wisdom.


    Looking around, he spoke first.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone already has some guesses about why I invited everyone over today for this meeting. I won¡¯t beat around the bush and will get straight to the point.¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, the chief got a few people over, including me, to hold a small meeting and sign a document. This document is the main topic of our meeting today.¡±


    ¡°There are three themes: the treatment of abnormal creatures; the direction of development of supernatural beings; and the guidance of the people¡¯s attitudes.¡±


    ¡°Next, let me say what I think¡­¡±


    On the fourth day of the lunar winter month, heavy snow fell.


    The sky was extremely gloomy. The sun had not appeared for the entire day, and the wind was raging. Even though the temperature showed that it was 4 degrees Celsius, it felt like sub-zero.


    Feng Ling wasn¡¯t too affected.


    Ever since he cultivated spiritual power, his adaptability to the environment had greatly increased.


    Not only could he endure the high temperature of the forge, but he could also only wear a sweater in this cold wind.


    But he didn¡¯t look too good.


    He¡¯d had a bad feeling since the morning.


    He knew very well that this was not his imagination. It was a sense of danger after his soul became stronger.


    Another blast of cold air. Feng Ling looked up at the darkening sky.


    There, crystals began to fall.


    It started to snow.


    ¡°Master Feng, aren¡¯t you cold wearing this?¡± Xiao Shan was wearing a down jacket and rubbing his hands. He didn¡¯t look like a Level Nine expert at all.


    Even though the physique of a Level Nine expert was also very strong, it was not to the extent of being immune to heat and cold.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. What time is it? Go home early today.¡± Feng Ling looked away.


    ¡°Uh, 4:55pm. Five minutes left.¡± Xiao Shan glanced at his watch and said, ¡°From the looks of it, there¡¯s going to be a heavy snowfall. The weather forecast didn¡¯t say it would snow today.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the weather forecast forecasted the other way round?¡±


    Xiao Shan laughed. ¡°Indeed. I remember that when I was young, everyone said that the if the forecast said it would rain, it would definitely be a sunny day, and be prepared with an umbrella if the forecast was sunny.¡±


    ¡°Alright, get off work. It won¡¯t be easy to walk when the snow gets heavy later,¡± Feng Ling urged.


    ¡°Uh, alright, I¡¯ll leave then.¡± Xiao Shan did not insist on not leaving. After spending more than a month together, he also understood Feng Ling¡¯s personality.


    This was a very easygoing young man. He did not have the airs of a Master Forger. He did not have the arrogance of a young man. He only had the enthusiasm for forging and the seriousness of doing things.


    Se


    ¡°Be careful on the road. Also¡­ Well, let¡¯s tell Chief Chen. It¡¯s best to strengthen our defenses tonight. I keep feeling that something bad is about to happen.¡±


    Xiao Shan immediately became serious. ¡°Master Feng, did you sense something?¡±


    ¡°Maybe I¡¯ve been a little overworked recently, but I think it¡¯s better to be cautious.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡± Xiao Shan nodded solemnly. ¡°I¡¯ll report to Chief Chen¡­ Uh, do you need me to stay¡­¡±


    ¡°No, go back. Take care of yourself.¡± Feng Ling waved his hand and refused.


    ¡°All right then. Call me if you need anything, Master Feng.¡±


    After watching Xiao Shan leave, Feng Ling ate a simple meal and sat at the door, waiting quietly.


    He wasn¡¯t shooting blindly, but as the sky grew darker, his uneasiness grew stronger.


    At some point, the snow and wind stopped.


    The clouds parted and the moon hung high.


    The cold moonlight shone on the snow, making the land seem bright in the night.


    In this silence, Feng Ling suddenly opened her eyes and placed her hand on the Bull Slaying Knife beside her.


    Pairs of green eyes quietly appeared on the snow.


    The roar echoed in the cool wind, sending a message.


    In the snow, the lonely courtyard was already surrounded.


    The pack of hungry wolves, the burly and terrifying black bears, the wild boars with bloodshot eyes, the pheasants flapping their wings¡­ These animals at all ends of the food chain appeared ¡°peacefully¡± outside the courtyard tonight.


    Because now they had a common goal.


    Feng Ling could already hear the roars and roars of those demon beasts.


    He could also smell the stench on these animals.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let you guys dirty my yard.¡±


    Feng Ling muttered. He had already taken a step forward and arrived on the courtyard wall.


    When the target appeared, the demon beasts outside the courtyard instantly went crazy. A few pheasants actually flapped their wings and flew towards Feng Ling.


    It was funny and comical, but it was filled with indescribable madness!


    Facing these demon beasts that had some intelligence but could not speak, Feng Ling naturally did not expect to obtain any useful information from them.


    The sword flashed coldly under the moonlight, and two notifications immediately popped up.


    [The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has completed the kill. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has improved by 5 points.]


    [The Six-Faced Han Sword you forged has been successfully killed. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 5 points.]


    Blood splattered, stimulating the demon beasts below and arousing Feng Ling¡¯s killing intent.


    The current Feng Ling was no longer as young as before.


    Whether it was his battle with Bai Yi and the Yama, or his training in the Blood-Robe World, he had not only obtained combat skills, but also a more precious combat consciousness.

 Chapter 35 - Demon Beast Attack!!

    Chapter 35 Demon Beast Attack!!


    With the continuous feedback of the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡±, his Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique and the Eastern Purple Qi Technique also improved.


    This made him faster and faster. The saber light became brighter and the aura on his body stronger.


    As another knife fell, a special notification popped up.


    [The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has been completed. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has reached perfection. You have obtained five years of cultivation.]


    As the notification sounded, an inexplicable spiritual power poured into Feng Ling¡¯s body, immediately filling up his spiritual power again.


    Feng Ling did not slow down at all and sped up.


    [The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has been completed. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has reached perfection. You have obtained a year of cultivation.]


    (The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has been completed. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has reached perfection. You have obtained two days of cultivation.]


    A series of notifications popped up, and the spiritual energy in Feng Ling¡¯s body became more and more abundant. His cultivation level was also increasing at a terrifying speed.


    Finally, the notification stopped. The surroundings of the small courtyard were also filled with the corpses of demon beasts.


    The sound of a car approached from afar at an extremely fast speed. The headlights were bright, completely illuminating the tragic scene on the ground.


    With an urgent braking sound, Xiao Shan jumped out of the car, dumbfounded.


    Feng Ling wiped the blood off her body and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Xiao Shan came back to his senses and immediately explained, ¡°The Peaceful Spirit Bureau has detected intense demon essence energy fluctuations around Mu Liang City. The deputy bureau is afraid that something will happen to you¡­¡±


    ¡°Cough, cough.¡± At this point, he looked at the scene in front of him again with an indescribable feeling in his heart.


    ¡°The combat team has been sent out. I came to see if you needed help.¡±


    ¡°Is the situation serious?¡± Feng Ling couldn¡¯t help asking


    ¡°Very grim. According to the monitoring, there are at least ten places where unrest is possible.¡±


    (The Pig Slaughtering Knife you forged has been completed. Your Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique has reached perfection. You have obtained a year of cultivation.]


    A notification suddenly popped up, followed by more than a dozen notifications.


    Some came from the Pig Slaughtering Knife, from the Bull Slaying Knife, and some from the Six-Faced Han Sword.


    ¡°It¡¯s starting,¡± Feng Ling said, looking into the distance. He knew that the battle had already begun!


    ¡°What?¡± Xiao Shan was stunned.


    ¡°Go help. Bring the Bull Slaying Knife.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Xiao Shan was a little tempted, but then he shook his head. ¡°No, Master Feng, your safety is more important.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve seen my side. I still have the ability to protect myself¡­ Wait, enter the courtyard.¡± Feng Ling¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Come in quickly.¡±


    Xiao Shan did not understand, but he still hurriedly followed.


    ¡°Nine Rings, activate the defense mode and enter Xiao Shan into the identification system. Prepare heavy firepower.¡±


    Feng Ling gave the order, and the Nine Rings indicator light that had already entered a state of rest quickly lit up. As it activated, the entire small courtyard began to undergo a series of changes.


    ¡°Round Heaven and Earth, activate!¡±


    ¡°Furnace charging program, activate!¡± ¡°Life-Taking Ground Spikes, prepare!¡± ¡°Sky Crossbow, prepare!¡±


    Eight beams of light shot out from the four walls of the courtyard and converged above the small courtyard. The moment they met, a curtain of light followed the beams and flashed away.


    Outside the courtyard wall, rows of spikes extended out from the wall, carrying blood grooves and barbs.


    On the wall, a row of crossbows popped up, ready to fire.


    Xiao Shan was dumbfounded. What was going on? Was this courtyard a war fortress?


    However, before he could finish wondering, many chaotic auras entered his perception range.


    Wait, this was the aura of a demon!


    Xiao Shan¡¯s eyes widened. The aura of countless demons!


    The auras of these demons varied in strength, but when gathered together, even a ranked martial artist like him felt his scalp tingle and his limbs turn cold.


    However, he was still a member of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s combat team. After a short shock, he immediately recovered.


    ¡°Master Feng, what do you need me to do?¡±


    ¡°Enter it into the identification system first.¡± As Feng Ling spoke, Nine Rings had already arrived in front of Xiao Shan.


    A ray of light shot out and scanned Xiao Shan from head to toe.


    Nine Rings held out his hand in an ¡°OK¡± gesture.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you this Pig Slaughtering Knife. The battle might last for a long time.¡± Feng Ling came out of the forging room and threw the Pig Slaughtering Knife to Xiao Shan.


    ¡°Can you contact the surrounding Peaceful Spirit Bureau battle group?¡± Feng Ling hadn¡¯t forgotten that there were still troops surrounding the perimeter.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Xiao Shan immediately replied.


    ¡°Tell them to retreat to the outermost area immediately and cover this area with firepower!¡±


    In Feng Ling¡¯s perception, this wave of demons had the aura of a ranked demon.


    And there were so many of them that it was hard to count.


    Feng Ling found it hard to imagine where there was space to accommodate so many demons. ¡°Understood!¡± Xiao Shan did not hesitate and immediately contacted the battle team of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    He knew that it was difficult for unranked battle groups to be effective in situations that made Windrush so nervous.


    ¡°Nine Rings, turn on the surveillance!¡±


    As soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, a loud bang sounded.


    He looked into the distance and asked uncertainly, ¡°Xiao Shan, that was¡­?¡±.


    UI


    ¡°Firepower coverage!¡± Xiao Shan was also shocked. He explained, ¡°Even though the Peaceful Spirit Bureau often works with the army, in most cases, in order to avoid causing too much shock and adverse effects, the army will only seal it off and let the supernatural experts of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau fight to resolve it.¡±


    Feng Ling understood. According to Xiao Shan, the number of demons in other places is also extremely terrifying. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to attack so quickly.¡±


    He knew that after tonight, all kinds of demons and monsters might be on the stage.


    And the original social order had to experience a huge shock.


    However, this was already something for the future. What was in front of him now was a sea of demon beasts.


    The demon beasts rushed forward and caused an earthquake. The snow was swept into snow waves and followed the beasts forward.


    The loud sound made Xiao Shan feel like his heart was about to jump out.


    It was not that Xiao Shan had never seen a big scene before. He was from the army, and before joining the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, he was also a true first-rate soldier king.


    After becoming a ranked martial artist, he had even killed demons many times. He could be said to be knowledgeable.


    But now, just looking at the scene in front of him made one¡¯s body turn cold.


    Especially with the surveillance cameras looking down, it was like watching a fantasy movie.


    He had no doubt that under the impact of the demons, this small courtyard would be no obstacle at all and would instantly become ruins.


    Where did so many demons come from?


    At the side, Feng Ling was also a little flustered, but his innate big heart and strength allowed him to remain calm.


    ¡°Rise!¡±


    A short order was issued. 1,000 meters away from the small courtyard, huge Ground Spikess suddenly appeared. The half-meter-long Ground Spikess instantly pierced through the bodies of countless demon beasts.


    (The Life-Taking Ground Spikes you forged has completed the kill. You have obtained the movement technique ¡®Illusory Movement Technique¡¯.]


    [The Life-Taking Ground Spikes you forged has been completed. Your Illusory Movement Technique has increased by 5 points.)

 Chapter 36 - Bloody Battle

    Chapter 36 Bloody Battle


    [The Life-Taking Ground Spikes you forged has been completed. Your Illusory Movement Technique has increased by 5 points.]


    Dense notifications popped up, and a movement technique appeared in Feng Ling¡¯s mind, advancing at an extremely fast speed.


    These Ground Spikess were set up by Feng Ling when he was carrying out the ¡°Small Courtyard Plan¡±. Back then, it was a last-minute idea, but he never expected that he would really use them one day.


    The Life-Taking Ground Spikes did not stop the demon beasts. They did not care about the lives of other demon beasts at all. They only charged forward.


    ¡®Ground spikes ahead?¡¯


    Charge! Charge! ¡®There are bodies of their kind up ahead?¡¯


    ¡®Step over it!¡¯


    Amidst the dense notifications, a demon beast finally stepped on the corpses of its kind and arrived 500 meters outside the courtyard.


    And Feng Ling spat out a second word. ¡°Rise!¡±


    The Life-Taking Ground Spike was set up in units of 500 meters and 10 meters.


    As for the attack method, it was ¡°Gopher Style¡±.


    After a wave of attacks, the ground spikes would reenter the ground and then rise again to attack.


    Previous Cycles.


    500 meters away from the small courtyard was the second set of ground spikes.


    Another wave of dense notifications came. The progress of the Illusory Movement Technique from entry level to initial success was terrifying


    However, Feng Ling could no longer care about the hint. He held the Enlightened Sword and the Six-Faced Han Sword and directly jumped onto the wall. At the same time, he said to Xiao Shan, ¡°I¡¯ll take the east and you take the west. Be careful!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Xiao Shan acknowledged the order in a deep voice. He took a deep breath, brought out the Bull Slaying Knife and the Pig Slaughtering Knife. He also jumped onto the wall and prepared to clean up the stragglers.


    No matter how strong the ground spikes were, they could not withstand the number of demon beasts.


    At the first wave of ground spikes, the corpses of the demon beasts had already paved a path again.


    Feng Ling adjusted her breathing and stared straight at the beasts in front of her. ¡°Nine Rings, Sky Crossbow, attack cover!¡±


    Buzz!!


    The order was given and the crossbows on the wall began to charge.


    On the other side, Xiao Shan only heard the sound of the wind. A crossbow bolt had already passed by him and shot towards a black panther in front.


    [You have completed the killing of the Sky Crossbow you forged. You have obtained the divine power ¡°Thousands of Miles In A Flash¡±.)


    (The Sky Crossbow you forged has been successfully killed. Your divine power, ¡°Thousands Of Miles In A Flash¡±, has been enhanced by 5 points.]


    (The Sky Crossbow you forged has been successfully killed. Your divine power, ¡°Thousands Of Miles In A Flash¡±, has been enhanced by 5 points.]


    A notification popped up, and a divine power appeared in Feng Ling¡¯s mind.


    At this moment, another wave of notifications also came.


    Feng Ling knew that, elsewhere, more fighting had begun.


    The weapons he forged had already begun to give feedback in all aspects.


    Feeling the increase in the spiritual power in his body and the improvement of his various cultivation techniques and divine powers, Feng Ling could not help but feel excited.


    The bronze cauldron appeared on his body, and the fifth cauldron was already extremely condensed.


    The sixth cauldron had already taken shape from the inside out.


    The Nine Cauldrons Realm was a comprehensive defense for the body.


    The sixth cauldron, also known as the Cauldron of Bones, greatly strengthened the defense of the bones.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    He shouted, and a purple light flashed in his eyes.


    Spirit Concentration Technique, Eastern Purple Qi Technique!


    An invisible wave spread out in front of them. The few demon beasts at the front suddenly froze, and a trace of confusion and fear flashed across their eyes.


    Feng Ling took a step forward. The Illusion Movement Technique allowed him to leave no trace. His hand raised and the sword fell. The Bright Heart Sword and the Six-Faced Han Sword had already been harvested.


    The effect of the Eastern Purple Qi Technique was even better than he had expected.


    ¡°Die, human!¡±


    A loud shout suddenly sounded. A figure with a human body and a tiger head jumped out from behind. The sharp tiger claws flashed with a sharp cold light under the moonlight.


    It spoke human language and was a ranked demon!


    ¡°You overestimate yourself!¡±


    Feng Ling snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was actually behind the tiger demon.


    Mystical Power ¨C Thousands Of Miles In A Flash!


    The Six-Faced Han Sword slashed down from the sky. The tiger head separated from its body and rolled several meters away.


    The tiger¡¯s eyes were still filled with killing intent, but in the next moment, it was crushed by the demon beasts behind it and mixed with the corpse blood on the ground.


    [You have completed the killing of the Six-Faced Han Sword you forged. Your Eastern Purple Qi Technique has improved by 10 points.]


    At this moment, the ranked demon was no different from those muddle-headed demon beasts.


    Feng Ling¡¯s strength made the hearts of the few ranked demons behind tremble, but then an even stronger killing intent erupted.


    This human must die!


    However, Feng Ling¡¯s killing intent was even stronger.


    His divine power instantly traveled a thousand miles with the Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique. After shuttling through a few demon beasts, another three ranked demons died on the spot.


    ¡°Human, how dare you!!!¡±


    The remaining three demons were furious. They had already reached Level Eight and could now transform into human form.


    With a loud shout, the two demons were about to surround Feng Ling.


    However, at this moment, a horn sounded and entered their ears.


    The three great demons looked at each other and suppressed their killing intent. They did not attack again and turned around to return.


    Feng Ling originally wanted to stop him, but the demon beasts beside him seemed to have received some instructions and pounced over desperately, blocking his path.


    More importantly, there were too few Sky Crossbow after all. Some demon beasts had already broken through the defense line and began to attack the courtyard wall.


    Feng Ling had no choice but to turn around and deal with it.


    Two hours later, Feng Ling was furious when he saw that the courtyard wall had still collapsed.


    Xiao Shan, who was leaning against the corner of the wall and did not want to move, had mixed feelings.


    He did not expect to survive against such a number of beasts.


    At this moment, the blood of the demon beasts in front of him had already dyed the ground red. The corpses were spread on the ground, even blocking his vision.


    ¡®A thousand? Ten thousand?¡¯


    Xiao Shan did not know.


    By the end of the fight, he was numb.


    His physical strength was exhausted, and his vital energy was dry. Only his desire to survive was supporting the long saber that he was brandishing


    Now look, what a miracle.


    However, the greatest miracle was still the young man beside him.


    Because in the end, it was a complete one-sided massacre.


    Feng Ling was extremely angry and pained.


    The renovation of the small courtyard had taken him six to seven years and carried countless of his efforts.


    However, other than the house in the middle that was intact, the rest had already turned into ruins.


    Even his forging room no longer existed under the impact of the demon beasts.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are all those demon beasts rushing towards this place?¡±


    ¡°Did someone give the order from behind, or is there something wrong with the place itself?¡±


    ¡°It seems that from the beginning, the beasts will also find their way here¡­¡±


    Feng Ling was deeply puzzled, guessing the few possibilities that existed.


    Beep-beepThe bell rang. Someone had sent a video call. Feng Ling took out his phone and saw that it was Duan Changde.


    Feng Ling couldn¡¯t think why he was calling him out of the blue, but he answered anyway.


    The video call connected. On the other side, Duan Changde was visibly relieved to see Feng Ling.


    ¡°Feng Ling, is everything okay on your side?¡±


    Feng Ling looked around at the mountain of demon beast corpses and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, but there¡¯s indeed some trouble.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned the camera around and the tragic scene entered Duan Changde¡¯s eyes.

 Chapter 37 - Huge Harvest!

    Chapter 37 Huge Harvest!


    Half an hour later, Lin Pin arrived at the small courtyard with a three-person combat team and a medical team.


    When they saw this ¡°mountain of corpses and sea of blood¡±, even Lin Pin and the others, who had just experienced a huge battle and were used to big scenes, felt their hearts tremble.


    ¨C There was no covering fire here, no army of ten thousand.


    A few medics carefully carried Xiao Shan onto a stretcher. Another person wanted to come over and check on Feng Ling, but he refused.


    Even though he looked a little miserable, he was actually fine except for being a little mentally exhausted.


    In the battle just now, he had made a huge breakthrough in all aspects. He had also established three cauldrons in a row and reached the ¡°Eight Cauldrons¡± realm.


    Just the defense alone was not something those unranked demon beasts could break.


    The butcher knife had also been providing him with spiritual energy feedback, which far exceeded his consumption speed.


    Therefore, not only did the spiritual energy in his body not consume much, but it even improved.


    ¡°Master Feng, there were many places that requested help previously, and the population density was very high¡­¡±


    Lin Pin¡¯s face was pale. He had just ended the battle and was extremely weak.


    However, he had no choice but to come over. It was not only because Duan Changde had directly called the director of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s desk, but also because the number of demon beasts that had appeared here was¡­ too many.


    He did not understand why there were so many demon beasts here when there were only two people here. To be honest, it was unbelievable that Feng Ling and Xiao Shan could survive!


    Lin Pin wanted to explain something, but the hellish scene and the strong smell of blood made it difficult for him to continue.


    He could not imagine what the battle just now was like.


    And in this light, any explanation seemed to pale in comparison.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    Feng Ling waved his hand and did not make things difficult for Lin Pin.


    Even though Lin Pin was the leader of the combat team, he was also following orders.


    The power structure of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was very simple.


    The members of the combat group were only following orders. They were the sharp swords of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and the shields of the commoners. They would go wherever there was a need.


    As for the specific battle plan and process, this was what the leader of the combat group had to be responsible for.


    The instructions for mobilizing them were issued by the leadership.


    Feng Ling knew very well that Chen Baisheng probably did not expect so many demon beasts to appear here.


    Otherwise, even if it wasn¡¯t for him, a Master Forger, they would definitely send a portion of their troops to help.


    Because there were too many demon beasts.


    If the other two people were here tonight, countless demon beasts would use this place as a breakthrough point and attack the entire Mu Liang City. As for the troops deployed around the periphery¡­


    To be honest, there was no way to stop it.


    The firepower coverage was also limited, and the troops at the periphery were also very limited.


    Moreover, there were also ranked demons and even three Level Eight demons in human form.


    Just these few Level Eight experts could tear open a big hole in the defense line.


    Feng Ling was able to wipe out all the demon beasts. His combat strength was the foundation, but there was another important reason.


    ¨C These demon beasts were all attacking his small courtyard. They were very concentrated.


    Even though he wasn¡¯t sure why, if that wasn¡¯t the case¡­


    If these demon beasts fled the moment they appeared, he would have no choice.


    Lin Pin looked at this overly young Master Forger and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his chest.


    He bowed deeply and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, Master Feng!¡±


    ¡°So what¡¯s the situation now?¡± Feng Ling took the initiative to change the topic.


    ¡°The situation is very bad¡­¡± Lin Pin¡¯s tone was heavy.¡± I haven¡¯t understood the details yet, but the way and number of demon beasts appeared this time exceeded our imagination. The exact reason still needs to be investigated.¡±


    ¡°Master Feng, there¡¯s no way to live here anymore. Moreover, Minister Duan and the Deputy Bureau Chief want you to go to the Peaceful Spirit Bureau. At the very least, they want you to guarantee that such a thing won¡¯t happen again.¡±


    Feng Ling nodded. Duan Changde had already mentioned this just now, and he did not refuse.


    Just cleaning would take more than a day or two.


    He did not mind, but his master could not suffer this grievance.


    Feng Ling packed up briefly, brought along Nine Rings, and followed Lin Pin to the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    As a secret department of the country, Peaceful Spirit Bureau was not located in the city. Moreover, it needed to be disguised.


    However, Feng Ling was still shocked when she saw the words ¡°Mu Liang Ballroom¡±.


    He walked into the ballroom. It was decorated in the style of the 1980s, and some of the furnishings looked old.


    At this moment, there were no customers inside. Thinking about it, the staff here were probably all from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau. The entire Peaceful Spirit Bureau was probably crazy busy with the demon beast attack just now.


    Besides, no one would have the leisure to dance in a dance hall under such circumstances, right?


    After passing through the side door and making two turns down the stairs, Feng Ling finally arrived at the base camp of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City,


    A huge underground space.


    It was also a huge underground fortress.


    All the ¡°walls¡± in sight were built with iron-based alloys like ¡°Bright Steel¡±.


    As mentioned before, Bright Steel Alloy was the basic material that could be used to forge the ranked weapon, Ink Dagger.


    This alone was enough to prove the Peaceful Spirit Bureau¡¯s wealth.


    However, at this moment, Feng Ling was not in the mood to be idle. He went to the room arranged by the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and tidied up his master¡¯s set of items. After washing up, he fell asleep.


    Even though his spiritual power had always been very abundant and his soul had not been consumed too much, such high-intensity combat still made him feel tired.


    An emotional exhaustion.


    He didn¡¯t wake up until after four in the afternoon.


    After waking up, he briefly moved around the room while counting the gains from his madness.


    Even though many people had sacrificed themselves in his gains, he had to admit that the rebate mechanism of the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± finally showed its might at this moment.


    The [Heaven and Earth Crossing Technique] directly went from the embryonic form of six cauldrons to the condensation of eight cauldrons. Not to mention the improvement of his physique, just the superposition of the eight cauldrons¡¯ defense was enough to make ordinary ranked experts unable to do anything


    The (Eastern Purple Qi Technique) was an extremely profound and shocking technique.


    Previously, Feng Ling had spent most of his time using the Six-Faced Han Sword in the Blood-Robe Realm. Coupled with the gains from forging for a month, his Eastern Purple Qi Technique could barely reach the ¡°Visualization¡± level.


    But now, when he outlined the mysterious scene of ¡°Eastern Purple Qi¡±, he was already accompanied by shocking Eastern Purple Qi.


    He had already taken a big step forward at the level of manifestation.


    This could also be seen from the progress of (1,023/100,000).


    Even though 100,000 was a terrifying number.


    The divine power (Illusion Break] had also advanced from the initial level to the initial level.


    His divine power, (Dismembering Bull], had also improved greatly. Feng Ling had already vaguely touched the edge of the Greater Mastery realm-he had forged the most Bull Slaying Knife a few days ago, so he had completed the most kills.


    As for the (Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique), it had reached perfection.


    But the gains were far more than that.

 Chapter 38 - Duan Changdes Attitude

    Chapter 38 Duan Changde¡¯s Attitude


    Back when he was fighting the Yama in the Divine Weapon Town, Feng Ling had broken through the restrictions of the divine weapons and reached the magical realm of where the heart follows the sword.


    After that, Feng Ling comprehended it and understood that it should be a manifestation of ¡°Swift¡± in the exquisite profundity of the [Pig Slaughtering Knife Technique).


    Now that his Pig Slaughtering Knife had reached perfection, Feng Ling¡¯s comprehension of it had also improved.


    Of course, the cultivation reflected by the ¡°Equipment Strategy¡± also allowed the spiritual energy in Feng Ling¡¯s body to reach an astonishing 263 years!


    According to the martial arts world, this was close to four and a half decades of cultivation! ¡°This palm contains four sixty-years of age. Can you withstand it?!¡±


    Feng Ling shook off this slightly childish scene in his mind and continued to check.


    The progress of the [Illusory Movement Technique) that he had obtained today was the most exaggerated. It directly reached the Greater Mastery realm.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped. The number of kills completed by the Life-Taking Ground Spike within a radius of a kilometer was countless.


    On the other hand, the divine power [Thousands Of Miles In A Flash] was only at the initial stage. The power of the Sky Crossbow was not ordinary. Unfortunately, the ¡°Round Sky and Square Earth¡± outside the courtyard could not last for too long. In addition, the frequency of the Sky Crossbow¡¯s attack was not considered fast. It was already quite good to be able to make ¡°Thousands of Miles In A Flash¡± reach the initial stage.


    Feng Ling was not sure how strong he could be now, but he knew that this world would only become more and more dangerous.


    That number of demon beasts was definitely not something that Iron Mountain and Bronze Mountain could accommodate. And the horn that made the Level Eight demon retreat definitely involved secrets.


    Walking out of the room, Feng Ling realized that someone was on duty at the door.


    Feng Ling had also seen this person before. It was the Level Seven supernatural being, Liu Zhongyi, who had killed the Yama in the Divine Weapon Town.


    ¡°Master Feng.¡± Liu Zhongyi immediately saluted when he saw Feng Ling come out.


    After Lin Pin and the others returned yesterday, even though they did not publicize it, some things could not be hidden.


    Then, their colleagues from the logistics department also replaced some of them this morning. Some of the photos made them feel nauseous.


    However, Feng Ling, the ¡°Master Forger¡±, had undoubtedly refreshed the impression of everyone in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    Especially the members of the combat group.


    When the ¡°pile¡± of ranked weapons appeared, the members of the combat team were already excited


    In yesterday¡¯s battle, these ranked weapons had greatly increased the strength of the combat group.


    ¡®How does it feel to carry three ranked weapons on your own?¡¯


    In one word, awesome!


    If one were to describe it in detail, it would be three words¡ªreally, really satisfying!


    That feeling of essence energy and weapons connecting was completely incomparable to the previous ordinary soldiers.


    It was against his conscience to say that those mortal weapons were scrap metal, but compared to ranked weapons¡­


    ¡°Huh. You call that a weapon?¡¯ Under the premise of such gratitude, and seeing Feng Ling¡¯s completely inhuman battle results, how could they not feel respect?


    The strong always had a halo no matter where they went.


    en


    ¡°Master Feng, Xiao Shan consumed too much energy last night and is still receiving treatment and recuperation. In the meantime, if you need anything, you can look for me.¡±


    Feng Ling nodded slightly. He naturally knew what kind of situation Xiao Shan had reached last night.


    ¡°I wonder if you have a restaurant here. To be honest, I¡¯m a little hungry.¡±


    ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    The underground base of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was very technologically advanced. Most of the buildings were circular in design, like a special underground city.


    The food in the restaurant tasted very good, especially the meat dishes. The energy contained in them was quite astonishing. It was definitely not ordinary meat. Unfortunately, it was still slightly different from the ¡°wild games that Feng Ling usually hunted.


    ¡°Master Feng, I just received instructions. The director, deputy director, and a guest want to talk to you,¡± Liu Zhongyi said after seeing that Feng Ling was full.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go. I have something to talk to them about.¡±


    At this moment, three people were already sitting in the director¡¯s office.


    Other than Chen Baisheng, there was also a pale-faced middle-aged man. He was the director of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City and the highest combat power in the entire city, a Level Six expert, Li Mingtian.


    The other was an old man with black hair and white eyebrows.


    Chen Baisheng and Li Mingtian seemed a little restrained in front of him, more in awe.


    ¡°Elder Mo, Master Feng¡¯s matter is completely beyond our expectations¡­ This matter is indeed my dereliction of duty. I will bear the main responsibility and not escape.¡±


    Chen Baisheng spoke seriously.


    The old man called ¡°Elder Mo¡± took a sip of the swill from the thermos flask and placed the cup on the table. He said indifferently, ¡°Before I came, Minister Duan had already instructed that someone would specially deal with your dereliction of duty. He won¡¯t interfere with the relationship between your Peaceful Spirit Bureau and Master Feng.¡±


    ¡°Leave everything to Master Feng to decide¡­ As for letting me come, I¡¯ll just bring Minister Duan¡¯s opinion and listen to Master Feng¡¯s thoughts.¡±


    He changed the subject and sighed. ¡°You¡¯re almost seventy years old, Baisheng. I¡¯m the first person who doesn¡¯t believe you¡¯re inexperienced.¡±


    ¡°Originally, you had some credit for finding Master Feng. But in the blink of an eye, you made such a huge mistake. What do you want me to say about you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve read the report you submitted. To be honest, even I might not be confident in annihilating a demon beast group of that size. However, in order to stop the demon beasts from fleeing, Master Feng didn¡¯t choose to hide and faced them head-on. This kind of awareness is very precious, and his strength is unquestionable.¡±


    Chen Baisheng had already lowered his head, but when he heard the latter part, he looked up in surprise at Elder Mo.


    Elder Mo¡¯s words were very vague, but Chen Baisheng immediately understood.


    To be honest, his mistake this time was outrageous.


    According to the current statistics, there were nearly 3,000 demon beasts that attacked Feng Ling last night!


    ¡®What kind of concept is that?¡¯


    If there was no Feng Ling to stop them, all the counties, districts, and towns around Mu Liang City would be affected by these 3,000 demon beasts.


    As for these demon beasts that had already distinguished themselves from ordinary beasts, even a pheasant was much stronger than ordinary black panthers!


    Just how much damage and impact would this cause? It was unimaginable!


    Most importantly, Feng Ling had been fighting for nearly two hours, but he had not sent out any reinforcements!


    ne


    Indeed, other places were also being invaded. The Peaceful Spiritual Bureau was indeed unable to split up.


    But that was no reason, let alone an excuse.


    Because no one could imagine how great the negative impact would be if another situation happened!


    At the very least, the Divine Weapon Town would become hell on earth.


    However, in reality, it was Feng Ling who led Xiao Shan to stop nearly 3,000 demon beasts and wipe them out!


    Its strength was self-evident.


    Moreover, apart from his identity as a Master Forger, Feng Ling also had Minister Duan behind him.


    Even the top big shots of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau had to be treated carefully.


    Everyone had already seen how important Feng Ling was to Minister Duan.


    Elder Mo¡¯s appearance was the best proof.

 Chapter 39 - Feng Lings Attitude

    Chapter 39 Feng Ling¡¯s Attitude


    ¡°Elder Mo¡­ Thank you, Elder Mo!¡±


    Chen Baisheng cupped his hands gratefully. He knew that Elder Mo was reminding him.


    However, he was also bitter. This matter was indeed a problem with his deployment.


    It could not be said to be an unexpected calamity. It could only be said that the demon beasts were too cunning, and he was too stupid to be deceived.


    At this moment, not only did he have to bear the responsibility of the unfavorable deployment, but he also had to worry about Feng Ling¡¯s attitude.


    He could only hope that Feng Ling would not blame him too much. Otherwise, even if Minister Duan did not personally take action, there would still be countless people coming to show off.


    The Chen family would not have an easy time from now.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what Master Feng thinks first.¡± Elder Mo shook his head and took another sip from the thermos. ¡°Here it comes.¡±


    Bang! Bang!


    There was a knock on the door and Liu Zhongyi¡¯s voice. ¡°Chief, Master Feng is here.¡±


    ¡°Please come in.¡± Li Mingtian, who had been silent all this time, finally caught his breath.


    Feng Ling pushed the door open and entered. Chen Baisheng wanted to step forward to welcome him, but he only leaned forward and stood rooted to the ground.


    Li Mingtian reacted quickly. Seeing that Chen Baisheng did not step forward, he immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to speak. ¡°Master Feng, I¡¯ve long heard of your great name. We finally meet today. I¡¯m the director of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau in Mu Liang City, Li Mingtian.¡±


    ¡°Hello, Director Li.¡± Feng Ling had also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He waited quietly.


    ¡°Elder Mo, you¡­¡± Li Mingtian looked at Elder Mo.


    Elder Mo laughed. ¡°What a master forger, what a playboy!¡±


    He introduced himself. ¡°I¡¯m Mo Sang, sent by your Uncle Duan.¡±


    Feng Ling cupped his fists seriously. ¡°Hello, Elder Mo.¡±


    The old man in front of him made him feel a


    pressure.


    Its strength was unfathomable!


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about our matters later. The Peaceful Spirit Bureau wants to give you an explanation for what happened last night.¡± Elder Mo looked at Li Mingtian.


    Li Mingtian felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He could only brace himself and look at Chen Baisheng.


    As the chief, he had always been in charge of fighting. He was indeed a little weak when it came to the other years.


    Chen Baisheng took a deep breath and took a step forward. He bowed deeply. ¡°Master Feng! The command last night is mine. I made all the deployments and decisions alone. It has nothing to do with the others.¡±


    His posture was subdued.


    The meaning of Elder Mo¡¯s words was clear: Feng Ling was a talent, and a very extraordinary talent. Someone above had already noticed him.


    At the same time, he was Minister Duan¡¯s nephew.


    You, Chen Baisheng, made a mistake in your decision. The higher-ups will deal with you. Minister Duan is not from the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, so he won¡¯t interfere and cause trouble for you.


    But as Feng Ling¡¯s uncle, he had to ask for an explanation.


    Chen Baisheng understood that putting aside the punishment the bureau had given him, the most important thing now was Feng Ling¡¯s attitude.


    Putting himself in his shoes, if he were in his shoes, he would also be furious after fighting for nearly two hours without any support.


    However, he could not let go and do whatever he wanted.


    He himself could not have done such a thing. More important, he was not alone.


    The Chen family had a foundation in the capital.


    However, this foundation seemed too weak in the eyes of someone at Minister Duan¡¯s level.


    ¡°Deputy Director Chen, maybe I¡¯m not as angry as you think.¡±


    As soon as Feng Ling spoke, the expressions of the three people present changed.


    ¡°I¡¯m not in a position to judge how capable you are. I can also hear the shocking sound of the cannons and know that there are many other places where the situation is critical.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, it was very difficult to provide support in the situation last night. Ordinary people would only be sending themselves to death¡­¡±


    ¡°I understand that. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have let the outer troops withdraw from the garrison.¡±


    ¡°Personally, I¡¯m not related to you. I only have a working relationship with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, so in my opinion, I have no right to ask you to save me first¡­¡±


    e no


    ¡°I don¡¯t think any of you would abandon other places and transfer combat power for


    me.¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯m not a saint. Let¡¯s get someone else in charge of the future cooperation with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.¡± Feng Ling looked at Li. ¡°Director Li, what do you think?¡±


    Li Mingtian was stunned. There was a smile in Elder Mo¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Director Li, are you dissatisfied with Master Feng¡¯s suggestion?¡± Elder Mo raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw that Li Mingtian did not respond.


    ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Li Mingtian finally came back to his senses and said quickly.


    All he felt was surprise, and a big one at that.


    What Feng Ling meant was¡­ they could continue to work together?


    Chen Baisheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could not help but feel even more admiration and gratitude towards Feng Ling Feng Ling¡¯s way of handling things exceeded his expectations.


    ¡°Master Feng, since you¡¯re done with the matters at the Peaceful Spirit Bureau, are you interested in chatting with me?¡± Mo Sang asked with a smile.


    ¡°Elder Mo, just call me Feng Ling,¡± Feng Ling replied with a smile.


    ¡°Shall we go out for a walk?¡± Elder Mo suggested.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    Watching the two of them leave, Li Mingtian and Chen Baisheng, the two most powerful people in Mu Liang City, looked at each other and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.


    Even though they were walking, it was impossible for the two of them to really stroll around the underground base.


    The two of them arrived at Elder Mo¡¯s temporary residence. Elder Mo chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m surprised you chose to handle it this way. Can you tell me why?¡±


    ¡°Do you want to ask this question, or does Minister Duan want to ask it?¡±


    Elder Mo laughed. ¡°At least I¡¯m really curious.¡±


    ¡°I read your information when I came. To be honest, if you didn¡¯t have Minister Duan behind you, you would definitely attract the attention of many people. You might not have realized your value yet, Master Forger. Your status is far beyond your imagination.¡±


    ¡°And you have such strength at such a young age, but you¡¯re not impulsive or impulsive¡­ Some people will say you¡¯re mature, but aren¡¯t you afraid of giving the impression that you¡¯re weak and easily bullied?¡±


    Elder Mo¡¯s words were tactful, but Feng Ling could understand what he meant.


    IL ON


    Feng Ling shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve heard of it, but there¡¯s a very popular term on the Internet. It¡¯s called ¡®Holy Mother.¡¯ It actually sums up what you¡¯re saying. Of course, I didn¡¯t say that you were insulting me.¡±


    ¡°To be honest, I really didn¡¯t realize that I had become a ¡®big shot¡¯. Be it a Master Forger or a ranked expert, this is just the title you added to me. The only change I made was my definition of myself.¡±


    ¡°Originally, I only wanted to improve my forging skills and reach the realm that my master had been pursuing all his life. But just a few days ago, I gave myself a premise: to survive in this mutated world first.¡±


    ¡°There were thousands of demon beasts surrounding the two of us last night¡­ Ever since Master left, the emotion of ¡®fear¡¯ disappeared from my mind, so I only have anger.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m angry that the Peaceful Spirit Bureau doesn¡¯t have support. It¡¯s that I¡¯m angry at this group of animals that appeared out of nowhere. Their appearance didn¡¯t make me realize the value of being a Forger. It just shattered my originally peaceful life.¡±


    ¡°Elder Mo, us commoners don¡¯t really want to be heroes. On the contrary, our ultimate pursuit is to have a stable life.¡±

 Chapter 40 - New Martial Era, Descend!

    Chapter 40 New Martial Era, Descend!


    The smile on Elder Mo¡¯s face turned serious.


    Feng Ling¡¯s words made him feel that he might have underestimated this young man.


    ¡°Are you interested in having some fun in the capital?¡± he invited.


    Feng Ling waved his hand. ¡°The capital is too big. Someone like me won¡¯t be able to adapt.¡±


    Elder Mo nodded slightly. He did not insist.


    Moreover, Feng Ling¡¯s reaction was within Minister Duan¡¯s expectations.


    Minister Duan was actually extremely concerned about this ¡°nephew¡± that he had only met once.


    It even shocked Elder Mo.


    ¡°Some things involve important secrets that I cannot reveal. But there is something you have a right to know.


    ¡°The demons are already negotiating with the higher-ups of the various nations. Last night, it was actually a demonstration. Of course, now it looks like there was a hidden conspiracy with another motive.¡±


    ¡°But the important thing is that they have a method. This method is very threatening and makes all countries rather afraid!¡±


    Elder Mo¡¯s words shocked Feng Ling, but he did not ask further.


    The scale of the beast tide last night was indeed very telling.


    ¡°If you have time, you can come to the Mo family in the capital as a guest.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Mo.¡±


    Feng Ling knew that Elder Mo was trying to express his goodwill.


    Elder Mo did not stay long. Someone came to pick him up and leave.


    Feng Ling turned on the new cell phone prepared by the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and prepared to see what the media was saying.


    The scale of the commotion last night could no longer be concealed by excuses like ¡°exercises¡±. Moreover, it was not difficult to guess from Elder Mo¡¯s words that the beast tide did not only appear in Mu Liang.


    Sure enough, the Internet was already buzzing.


    The trending topics yesterday were all about marriage and divorce in the entertainment industry. Today, they were all related to the words ¡°monster¡± and ¡°devil¡±.


    Some close-up videos even appeared on various short video platforms.


    The country did not do anything either.


    Clearly, he did not intend to hide it anymore. If he continued to hide it, it would only make people more suspicious. There was no point in not saying it, and it might even cause chaos.


    Humans had always listened to orders since ancient times.


    However, the country¡¯s boldness still surprised Feng Ling.


    **December 8, 2021, 6:50 p.m., ten minutes before the broadcast began**


    The official media held a press conference to directly prove the existence of ¡°abnormal creatures¡±. It also meant that there were also supernatural beings among humans who had supernatural powers. They even announced the existence of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau to reassure the public.


    In addition, there was a series of other initiatives.


    For example, at the end of this year, they would specially open a supernatural school.


    Another example was the release of the ¡°Abnormal Creatures Record¡±. It would record the characteristics and habits of abnormal creatures and categorize them.


    However, what was even more important was the public release of a ¡°cultivation technique¡±.


    -The Breathing Technique


    It was a simple name, but it caused a major earthquake.


    This cultivation technique could allow people with ¡°Aptitude¡± to master extraordinary power- Essence energy!


    This was a special energy that had never appeared in front of the public before, and this energy had unimaginable destructive power.


    Most importantly, this energy was based on human development and was one of the gentlest ¡°evolution¡± methods!


    In the introduction of the Breathing Technique, there was a clear division of supernatural beings.


    There were Level Nine of supernatural beings.


    Below the ranked experts, there were a total of Ten Levels.


    These ten levels did not involve origin energy. It was just a test of three physical qualities,


    Strength, speed, willpower.


    There were different standards for each level, and as long as one reached this level, one could successfully enter the level.


    Above level ten were ranked experts, divided into nine levels, corresponding to nine realms.


    Level Nine Metamorphosis Realm, Level Eight Cocoon Break Realm, Level Seven Enlightened Realm, Level Six Foot Lock Realm, Level Five Spirit Concentration Realm, Level Four Fusion Realm, Level Three Life Bridge Realm, Level Two Rising Dragon Realm, Level One Heaven Gate.


    The country announced that anyone who could enter the supernatural level could enjoy a certain level of protection, but at the same time, they had to be monitored.


    From this day on, people suddenly realized that their original lives had been overturned.


    It was also from this day that the ¡°New Martial¡± era descended!


    The waves on the Internet didn¡¯t affect Feng


    Ling.


    According to Elder Mo, small fights might not be avoided in the coming period of time, but there should not be such a large-scale demon beast outbreak again.


    Besides, that depended on the outcome of the negotiations.


    Feng Ling didn¡¯t know much about politics, but he knew that war would come one day.


    Otherwise, the country would not have held a press conference and defined those demons and ghosts as ¡°abnormal creatures¡±.


    Therefore, it was definitely not wrong to prepare early.


    There was a forging furnace in the underground base of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau.


    There were not many Forgers in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau to begin with, and there was still a lot of surplus in the forging furnace. Feng Ling asked Li Mingtian for one.


    That was within his rights.


    The battle last night had destroyed all the weapons in Feng Ling¡¯s hands. Even if it was a ranked weapon, it could not withstand such torture after continuously killing thousands of demon beasts without repairing it.


    So he had to forge the weapon as soon as possible.


    In addition, there were also many weapons that needed to be repaired in the Peaceful Spirit Bureau. This could be considered a big project.


    In order to save time, Feng Ling packed her things and brought Nine Rings over.


    As his strength increased, Feng Ling¡¯s current physical strength and energy had increased greatly. He no longer felt tired forging a yellow-grade weapon. In just three days, Feng Ling had completed the work he had planned for five days. The time was reduced by two-fifths.


    Feng Ling knew that he could try to break through to the so-called ¡°heaven-grade¡± weapon.


    According to the division of the Forging Division, a heaven-grade weapon was a weapon that did not consume the user¡¯s essence energy at all, allowing the weapon to truly be wielded as if it was an arm.


    Feng Ling thought about this for a long time.


    He didn¡¯t know how other forgers did this, but if he was the one who forged a heaven-grade weapon, then he and the weapon had to be 100% ¡°coordinated¡± during the casting process.


    Using spiritual power as a bridge, he communicated with his weapon and then used the Breathing Technique to ¡°connect¡± the inside of the weapon.


    In other words, he was helping the weapon to sort out its ¡± Meridians¡±!


    This sounded incredible, but Feng Ling felt that it should be something.


    After getting Liu Zhongyi to inform Li Mingtian, Feng Ling fell into seclusion.


    Li Mingtian fell into a short silence when he saw the nearly hundred repaired ranked weapons that Liu Zhongyi had brought.


    Then he got someone to circle the forging furnace where Feng Ling was. No one was to enter and disturb her until she came out.


    And the situation had been changing over the past few days.


    From a world that did not believe in ghosts and gods and prioritized science, it suddenly became a world where demons could walk around and humans could cultivate. This process of consciousness transformation was the most prone to problems.


    Things were better in the country. They had a natural advantage in terms of control. Moreover, because the officials were already prepared in this aspect, there was not much trouble.


    As for overseas¡­
