Chapter 428 Ch 428: Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling
Unbeknownst to Ling Xiaolong, a few hours after his departure, a furious roar resonated throughout the entire Emperor Flame Sect. The enraged voice belonged to the Guardian Elder of the Celestial Herb Garden.
Those familiar with the voice immediately recognized it as the Guardian Elder's, leaving the whole sect pondering: Who dared to provoke such a formidable figure? Who dared to put their hands into the mouth of this ferocious tiger?
Soon, a tumultuous wave of unrest swept through the Emperor Flame Sect.
Departure from the sect was now strictly forbidden, and an intensive investigation commenced. The elders meticulously started searching every disciple's residence and spatial ring in order to find the stolen herbs.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. The one responsible for this incident was already millions of miles away from the Emperor Flame Sect, guarding Bai Lushi, who had already gone into seclusion, ready to swallow the Luminescent Seraphroot and regain control over her cultivation base.
About a month later, an extraordinary aura erupted from the room, affecting an area spanning several miles. The intense pressure reverberated in the surroundings, creating a palpable impact.
Fortunately, the imposing force swiftly dissipated, leaving the vicinity peaceful once again.
Shortly after, Bai Lushi emerged from the room with a broad grin adorning her face.
"Not only have I regained control over my cultivation base, but I've also advanced to the next level. It seems that being restricted for a million years was not in vain. The accumulation during this period helped a lot," she joyfully informed Ling Xiaolong, radiating a sense of accomplishment.
Ling Xiaolong nodded and smiled at her achievement. Indeed, the difference between each level of a Master of Chaos is extremely vast. Being able to advance a stage in a million years is worth celebrating about.
Countless Masters of Chaos require tens of millions or even a hundred million years to advance a single level in their cultivation.
The lives of Masters of Chaos are infinite, so this long period of time is nothing to them.
Fast forward two months...
"So, this is Three Realm Empire?"
Ling Xiaolong sighed at the sight of a magnificent city. This city was the central city of the Three Realm Empire. It was magnificent and blooming with the vitality of a thriving metropolis. The skyline was adorned with towering structures that seemed to touch the clouds, their intricate designs reflecting the fusion of ancient traditions of a distant past and innovations of the current era.
The streets bustled with a diverse array of people. Market stalls lined the thoroughfares, showcasing exotic goods from distant realms and attracting merchants and travelers alike.
As Ling Xiaolong passed through the bustling streets with Bai Lushi, he couldn't help but marvel at the prosperity of this city. The city's energy was palpable.
"Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling is currently living in seclusion. Let's go. I'll bring you there!"
Bai Lushi spoke and moved forward, followed by Ling Xiaolong in a hurry.
The main purpose of coming to the Three Realm Empire was to find Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling so that he could ask him to merge the Celestial Glory Blade and Infinity Edge Blade.
This city was very big, and the two of them were moving slowly, enjoying the bustling sight of the city. Two hours later, Bai Lushi brought Ling Xiaolong to an isolated alley. There, unlike the shops in other streets, a small dilapidated shop could be seen. There was a very old plaque hanging on the wall. The plaque recorded two simple words: 'Weapon Shop'.
Bai Lushi nodded at Ling Xiaolong and pushed open the door, entering the shop.
As they entered, their eyes were blinded by the resplendent light reflecting from the weapons hanging on the wall. Various weapons, including swords, blades, axes, and spears, filled the shop very beautifully.
What made these weapons especially attractive was their rank. None of them were lower than the Mystery Descent Rank. There were also several Heavenly Mystery-ranked weapons casually displayed on the wall.
This showcased the extraordinary nature of this shop.
"As expected of Divine Craftsman. Just these weapons alone are enough to spark wars between countless forces." Ling Xiaolong couldn't help but gasp in shock. It was the first time he had encountered such a treasure trove.
Bai Lushi wasn't much better. Despite having been here a few times before, she was still mesmerized by the array of weapons displayed in the shop.
"Little girl, why are you here again?"
An old voice rang in the air, finally attracting Ling Xiaolong and Bai Lushi's attention to a certain place.
In a quiet corner, an old man could be seen diligently wiping the dust from a sword. The sword was a Mid-Grade Heavenly Mystery-ranked weapon. It appeared slightly broader than typical swords, featuring a small gap in the middle that extended all the way to the hilt.
This particular sword was a twin sword, dwelling within a single sheath. It had the versatility to be utilized as a single sword or, alternatively, be separated from the middle into two distinct swords.
When separated, the owner will have two Mid-Grade
Heavenly Mystery-ranked swords instead of one. The uniqueness of this sword can be seen from this feature alone.
Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling's creations truly lived up to their reputation; the weapon was nothing short of amazing.
"Humph, old man. I'm not a little girl; I'm old enough to be an ancestor of several forces."
Bai Lushi snorted. She appeared to be very familiar with the Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling. Ling Xiaolong just could not understand why she told him that he had to persuade Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling to help him; she couldn't assist him in this matter.
His mouth also twitched when he heard Bai Lushi's words. It was also his first time hearing a lady say she was old enough to be an ancestor of several forces.
Indeed, living for millions of years, she was qualified to say this sentence. It just sounds strange coming from a beautiful lady's mouth, a lady who looks both young and charming.
"Hahaha..."
The old man started laughing and shook his head. Then he shifted his gaze at Ling Xiaolong and his eyes suddenly turned cold. He snorted and no longer looked at him. He simply turned his head and busied himself in his job, carefully wiping the dust and hanging the weapon on the wall.
Ling Xiaolong was stunned when he saw this. He could not help but feel that Ling Xiaolong #1 must have also come here at least once. And something unusual must have occurred between the two.
It is just that he currently has no recollection of what must have happened. After all, he has yet to fuse with Ling Xiaolong #1.
Perhaps Bai Lushi guessed Ling Xiaolong's trouble. She slowly explained, "In the past, Divine Craftsman helped you several times. However, there was one instance where he needed your help. Unfortunately, although you did not refuse him, you were unable to do the task because you were busy running from your enemies. In the end, you entered the Mystic Realm and sealed the entrance completely with Nine Layers Boundary Formation."
"As a result, the task was left incomplete, and Divine Craftsman suffered considerable losses. This incident left him dissatisfied with you. Don't worry, he has a very good impression of you. Just try to coax this old man, and he will agree to your request."
Ling Xiaolong now grasped the reason behind the old man's frosty welcome. It turned out everything was Ling Xiaolong #1's fault, but he had to bear the pressure.
Ling Xiaolong laughed bitterly in his heart.
Fortunately, Bai Lushi's voice was not low. Divine Craftsman heard her clearly.
He frowned and looked at Bai Lushi and Ling Xiaolong once again. Her words made him puzzled. He could not understand why Bai Lushi was telling Ling Xiaolong these things. Ling Xiaolong should have known why he is behaving like this already.
It was only now he noticed Ling Xiaolong's low cultivation.
As far as he could remember, Ling Xiaolong was a Level 2 Master of Chaos the last time he saw him. He also heard a rumor of Ling Xiaolong advancing to Level 3; it is just that he is not sure whether that rumor is true or false.
Certainly, some event must have transpired to lead to Ling Xiaolong's cultivation regression.
"Little girl, what happened to him?" The old man could not help but ask.
A smile appeared on her face. She knocked on Ling Xiaolong's shoulder, signaling to him that it was the perfect opportunity to appease the old man.
Ling Xiaolong also understood her meaning. He hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Senior, let me explain..."
Even though Ling Xiaolong had caused dissatisfaction in the past, the old man couldn't help but become curious when Ling Xiaolong addressed him as 'senior' instead of the usual 'Old Man Feng'.
So, he did not stop Ling Xiaolong. He allowed Ling Xiaolong to explain, and as Ling Xiaolong detailed the plan executed by Ling Xiaolong #1, the old man began to grasp the full picture of the current situation.
