Chapter 257 My Ancestor's Work

Ningxiang smiled and said, "Well said. For cultivators like us, if we obey, we are mortals, if we disobey, we are immortals. How can we succumb to the curse of our ancestors and the injustice of fate?"

Yun Juan said sincerely: "Dabai, just based on these words, I have to admit defeat. Jing'er did not choose the wrong master."

Li Hantian nodded and said approvingly: "You have great ambitions and a promising future."

Jinlian sighed softly: "The road is difficult to walk, but I made the choice and have no regrets."

After waiting for a while, Shangguan Jing'er woke up slowly.

Cheng Bai just pretended that nothing had happened, and gave her a huge treasure bag. He used the power of the phoenix to transfer the practice method of the Six Paths of Bliss Fist into her sea of ​​consciousness, and instructed: "Jing'er, use this treasure first. From now on, you must practice the Six Paths of Bliss Fist with extra diligence. You have special talents, and you will encounter difficulties much more than ordinary people. You must never give up when you encounter setbacks and difficulties."

Shangguan Jing'er seemed to have sensed something, and dared not say more. She leaned forward and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Master. Jing'er will remember it in my heart."

Ningxiang saw that she looked unwell and said hurriedly, "I'll take her back to the room to rest first. Ask me if you have any questions." She and Yunjuan sent her back to the room.

Li Handian and Jinlian also said goodbye and left.

Cheng Bai sat in the main seat in the hall, and after a moment of silence, he sighed, "Alas... I thought it was a blessing for the sect to have a talented disciple, but it turned out to be a difficult problem for me."

But in the final analysis, the trouble is self-inflicted. Since I have already taken on the mess, I can only bite the bullet and find a way to solve it.

The smoker joked, "Your Excellency has done a lot for your disciple. She will definitely repay the kindness and be filial to her master in the future."

Cheng Bai packed up the items in the room and said nonchalantly, "From now on, you two will follow me to practice the Holy Bloodline Canon. Come with me to the Star Palace first, a friend will be here soon."

The Holy Scriptures of Bloodline are divided into two categories: primary and secondary, each with its own methods for the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. There are a total of ten volumes of scriptures, corresponding to different attribute requirements.

The main-attribute technique allows the practitioner to be in the center of the five elements, gaining the power of the secondary-attribute spirit beasts, and becoming a unique advantage. As long as the secondary-attribute practices, the main-attribute will naturally increase their skills, and at the same time feed back to the auxiliary spirit beasts, growing together and making progress day by day.

In his spare time, Cheng Bai taught Hei Long the water chapter, which was suitable for the black dragon's water attribute; then he taught Yan Gui the fire chapter, which was suitable for Suan Ni's fire attribute; he practiced the wood chapter himself, and the Jianmu in his Dantian became more vigorous and full of vitality.

When they arrived in front of the Xingchen Palace, Chang Yufeng was waiting there. He called out, "Dabai, how is the sword being refined? If it's not finished yet, don't rush. It won't hurt to wait a few more days."

He didn't think Cheng Bai could be faster or better than the weapon-refining master of the Changsheng Society. After thinking it over, he decided to give him more time.

Cheng Bai smiled slightly, took out the Four Symbols Cauldron calmly, waved his hand lightly, and a nearly invisible short sword floated out, and handed it over, saying: "This sword of light has been refined. It is a high-grade soul weapon. You only need to drip blood to recognize the master before you can use it."

Chang Yufeng carefully took the Hanguang Sword and examined it carefully. With ecstasy in his eyes, he praised it repeatedly: "Although it is a little small, its grade is beyond my expectation. Thank you very much, brother."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning. I still have to go to the Nine-Layered Abyss Secret Realm, see you in the future." He hurriedly left with the Smoker and Hei Long. The earlier they entered the secret realm, the more advantage they would have.

Chang Yufeng said a few polite words and continued playing with the Han Guang Sword. He dripped blood on it to recognize its ownership and put it into the Nine Palace Sword Box, which immediately added a lot of color to this set of treasures.

After he finished his work, he remembered: "Brother Dabai is very powerful. I thought he could only refine a good product at most, or maybe just an ordinary one, but it turned out to be a surprise. I wonder how the progress is at the Changsheng Society." He hurried to the Yuzhen Palace and found the place where the Changsheng Society belonged.

This is the largest storefront in the hall. It is located in the center of the hall, stretching out in an endless expanse, with a majestic aura, which is rare in Shanhui City, where every inch of land is fought for.

As soon as I entered the door, a deacon greeted me with a smile: "Master Chang Yufeng, welcome to our guidance. You have brought glory to our humble home!"

Chang Yufeng nodded slightly and said, "Are Mo Ruo Longtou and Mo Gui Tai Shang here?"

"Master Chang, please wait in the hall. I will go to the back to report..." The steward did not answer directly, but was busy arranging for the reception. "... why don't you serve the tea quickly?"

He trotted into the back area.

The structure of some halls and rooms in Yuzhen Temple is quite unique. They are divided like exquisite caves made of jade, and one of the doors is closed.

The deacon looked around and saw no one, so he raised his hand and knocked lightly on the copper ring on the door, three times in quick succession, then paused and knocked slowly three more times.

Mo Ti's impatient voice came from inside: "Mo Ken, didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

The steward hurriedly said, "Reporting to Grandfather Tian, ​​Chang Yufeng is waiting in the lobby outside."

"What is he doing here so early in the morning? Is he in a hurry to reincarnate? The sword is not yet refined. Even with the Black Ruins Cauldron, it can't be refined so quickly."

Mo Ti fiddled with it for a while, then thought that he couldn't just leave the guests alone, so he ordered, "It's almost done. The Black Ruins Cauldron's treasure-tempering process must be done by Mo Ruo himself to operate the divine fire source. Go and notify the leader of the association to come over."

The deacon nodded and bowed outside the door: "Yes."

After a while, Mo Ruo arrived in front of the cave, opened the door and went in. Seeing Mo Ti who had been busy all night, he smiled and said, "Is everything going well, Uncle Lie? With the help of the Black Ruins Cauldron, the progress is as efficient as that of my ancestor working alone."

Mo Ti nodded and said, "In terms of speed, it should be even faster. Everything is ready. I have even imitated the signature of our ancestor and carved it. I am just waiting for your Dark Destruction Ghost Fire to temper the treasure. This fire is evil and it will inevitably cause some discomfort if I stay by your side. I will go back and rest."

Mo Ruo respectfully sent them off and said, "Thanks to Uncle Lao Lie for his help. I will divide the wages equally among them later."

This precious sword was forged entirely by Mo Ti and Mo Ruo under false names, but it was something Mo Gui tacitly approved of.

Chang Yufeng waited for a long time, brewing tea one pot after another, feeling quite regretful: "I should have waited until the evening. It would have been better if I just said it would be done today without saying when. I just wasted a lot of time sitting and waiting."

When Mo Ruo appeared, he saw Chang Yufeng's face full of impatience, so he hurried forward and said in a friendly manner: "Brother Chang, I've been waiting for a long time. The sword is finished as promised, please take a look."

He raised the Black Ruins Cauldron, and a faint shadow slowly flew out from the mouth of the cauldron. The sword was two feet and a half inches long, and it was suspended in the air, seeming to be there and not there, and it was difficult to distinguish its shadow.

Chang Yufeng was quite knowledgeable. He took a closer look and realized its extraordinary features. He praised, "What a good sword! What grade of soul weapon is it?"

Mo Ruo said solemnly: "This is a high-quality soul weapon, engraved with ninety-nine prohibitions, which is the ultimate number. It was made by my ancestor himself, and it makes full use of the treasures of heaven and earth. The sword is named 'Huaying'. Looking around the five continents and four seas, no one can refine a weapon to this level. After recognizing the master, Brother Chang will be able to use it to travel the world."

There is no harm without comparison. Only with comparison can you know the superiority and inferiority and the length and shortness.

Chang Yufeng was filled with disappointment when he heard this. Compared with Cheng Bai's Han Guang Sword, the Hua Ying Sword lacked six restrictions, but was two grades lower.

It is unbelievable that Mo Gui, a senior master who has been a powerful figure in the martial arts world for thousands of years and has retired behind the scenes and is highly respected by his teachers and elders, and is known as the world's number one weapon-refining master, is actually not as good as the rising star of the new generation of weapon-refining sect.

However, Chang Yufeng knew his limits and held back from complaining. He inquired, "Is Senior Mo Gui busy in there?"

Mo Ruo was very skilled in making polite remarks: "It is rare for my ancestor to take action. This time, he started to refine the magic weapon overnight because of the heavy trust entrusted by the Prison Sword Sect. He has already retired after completing his mission. He just left and disappeared without a trace."

Chang Yufeng took the Huaying Sword and dripped blood to recognize its master, then put it into the Nine Palace Sword Box and said proudly: "Thank you for the help of the Changsheng Society. The Nine Palace Sword Box now has three swords, and the Huaying Sword is at the bottom, but overall it is higher than before, and maybe the ranking on the Tianbao Ranking will change."

Mo Ruo was suspicious: "The Shadow Sword is at the end? This seems to be a hint. However, it is not my fault because of the limited quality of the natural treasures." He smiled and said: "Have you gathered the materials for another sword? Brother Chang might as well pay and place the order first, so that my ancestor can start the work when he returns."

Chang Yufeng couldn't help but speak quickly, and said casually: "Yesterday I met the leader of the Tianshu Sect, Bai Di. He happened to have a suitable Danling, so he refined it into the Hanguang Sword."

Mo Ruo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately persuaded: "The Tiantun Sect is not well-known, and I am afraid that the precious natural treasures will be wasted. Brother Chang, why don't you ask for the materials back? My ancestor will certainly make things convenient for you and personally refine the treasure for you."

Chang Yufeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I said it has been refined. The Hanguang Sword is in my Nine Palace Sword Box. It ranks first among the three swords. No matter what, I still thank Senior Mo Gui and Mo Longtou. Yufeng will take his leave first."

Mo Ruo sent Chang Yufeng out of the store, and then he turned back to think about it. An uneasy premonition came to his mind: "Does Baidi really have that ability? When the Tianbao Ranking is updated, wouldn't he be riding on my ancestor's head?"
