Shock and Retreat

At this moment.

Li Xingwu had already cursed the 18 generations of the Luo Family's ancestors in his heart.

Soon, a Li family member brought over the Soul Returning Grass.

This was a plant that looked like a Mandara Flower. Its roots were azure blue and had specks of light on them. It was very dazzling.

Li Feng held it in his hand and felt a chill. It was as if his entire head had become much cooler.

This made him secretly surprised.

Li Xingwu looked at the Soul Returning Grass with some heartache. He comforted himself in his heart that he had only handed it to Li Feng for safekeeping for a while. In the end, he still had to take it back.

Then, he said, "Sirs, the Patriarch has invited you to meet him. At the same time, he wants to discuss the matter of creating the Sword Embryo."

"There's no hurry."

A smile flashed across Luo Yunyang's face as he said, "Li Feng, you can take the Soul Returning Grass now. You can eat it directly. There are no taboos. Don't disappoint the Li Family. Once you become stronger, you can better complete the things the Li Family has instructed you to do."

Upon hearing this.

Li Xingwu sighed. Indeed, the older the wiser. Luo Yunyang was really difficult to get along with.

It was no wonder the Luo Family could firmly control Da Qian City and wasn't afraid of challenges from other forces.

Li Feng nodded and was about to swallow the God Return Grass.

"Wait…"

At this moment, an anxious voice sounded. In the distance, a young man walked over with large strides with a gloomy expression.

Li Feng ignored this voice. Instead, he simply crumpled the Soul Returning Grass into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

Immediately, a wave of cold energy surged in his body and rushed into his mind. Li Feng was in a daze, as if he had arrived in a world of ice and snow.

Then, he felt his mind become clearer. He could see the people and things around him much more clearly.

Everyone was a little speechless. This method of consumption was too violent. Everyone else ate it in small mouthfuls and did not dare to waste a single bit of their strength.

They weren't like Li Feng, who was like a ball of paper. It made their hearts tremble.

What they didn't know was that Li Feng had the Immortal Sword Body, so his meridians had been strengthened countless times. Thus, no matter how much strength he had, he could still digest it.

Furthermore, it happened very quickly.

By the time that young man walked up to Li Feng, he had already exhausted all his energy.

"How can you take the Soul Returning Grass?" The young man's expression was unkind as a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes.

The Soul Returning Grass was very rare and their Li family didn't have a second one. He had finally gathered enough contribution points to exchange for it after much difficulty, but he didn't expect Li Feng to intercept it in advance.

This filled him with hatred and hostility towards Li Feng.

Li Feng glanced at him and said, "Who are you? Your family head gave this to me. How I deal with it has nothing to do with you."

"You…"

The young man was furious and wished he could beat Li Feng up. He had just arrived and didn't know that Li Zhaoming had been defeated by the other party. Now, he was itching to teach Li Feng a lesson.

"That's enough. Li Feng, this is not a place for you to behave atrociously." Li Xingwu spoke. He was also very angry.

He hadn't expected that the Immortal Herb would be like a meat bun hitting a dog. If he went, he wouldn't be able to return. Now that he saw that the geniuses of his family were still causing trouble, he was very unhappy.

"Master, he…" Li Yao almost lost his mind when he saw that the Godly Grass that originally belonged to him had disappeared. He did not recognize the current situation.

"I said enough, but you didn't hear me."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Xingwu interrupted him.

Li Zhaoming had just attacked when he lost a stalk of the Soul Returning Grass. If Li Zhaoming wanted to woo him again, he would vomit blood.

Upon thinking of this, a powerful aura erupted from Li Xingwu's body and pressed down on Li Zhaolei. He warned, "Get lost now and don't embarrass yourself here."

Li Zhaoli's face turned pale. He felt that the family head was really angry and didn't dare to be impudent anymore. He glared at Li Feng hatefully and turned to leave.

"Sorry for making a fool of myself." Li Xingwu had an apologetic expression on his face. His attitude was very sincere as he was afraid that these two would cause trouble again.

"It's nothing." Li Feng chuckled. After taking such a huge advantage, so what if he was reprimanded? He wasn't such a petty person.

Meanwhile, Luo Yunyang said with a faint smile, "Li Family Head, the juniors in your family are all very lively. Young people are really energetic. They don't even listen to the words of the older generation."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingwu felt very helpless in his heart. There were many people in the family who had their eyes on his position. Furthermore, the two ancestors were from different branches. Thus, it was naturally not up to him to decide.

However, he didn't continue on this topic because it was very sensitive. Thus, he said, "Family Head Luo, Li Feng has already consumed the God Return Grass. You can 'meet' the Patriarch now, right?"

He didn't want to deal with these two people anymore because it was annoying.

This time.

Li Feng and Luo Yunyang didn't have any objections. After all, their main goal in coming to the Li Family was to create a Sword Embryo.

Li Xingwu walked in front while Li Feng and Li Feng followed behind him.

The few of them passed through the hall and made many turns before finally arriving at a garden that was filled with flowers and birds.

There were some artificial mountains around here, and there were strange flowers beside them. The flowers were colorful and emitted a faint fragrance. There was also a small stream in the distance, and from time to time, fat fish would leap onto it.

A respectful expression appeared on Li Xingwu's face. He walked to a courtyard and said softly, "Patriarch, I've brought them."

"Come in!" A voice sounded in the void.

Li Feng's heart was a little shocked. That voice was like someone was talking to him.

Meanwhile, Luo Yunyang appeared rather calm. He had interacted with Luo He Shen often, so he naturally knew the methods of a Destruction-Rank powerhouse.

Upon hearing the patriarch's reply, Li Xingwu pushed open the door and walked in. Li Feng and Luo Yunyang followed suit.

The few of them entered the main hall.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged man with long hair sitting in a chair and reading a book quietly. He looked up at Luo Yunyang and said, "Family Head Luo, it's been a while. How have you been?"

"Greetings, Senior. I've been living quite well recently." Luo Yunyang took a step forward and lowered his head slightly.

In this world, strength was everything. The person in front of him was a genuine Destruction-Grade powerhouse, on the same level as Luo He Shen.

He naturally could not treat Li Xingwu the way he treated him. Otherwise, he would really be courting death.

"You're welcome. I met Brother River God not long ago. His knife skills have become increasingly sharp."

Li Tianming stood up. His long hair fluttered, revealing his extraordinarily handsome face.

When the West Coast was in chaos, he had gone to provide support. At that time, he had met Luo He Shen. However, he hadn't expected a True Dragon to appear in his opponent's family.

Then, he looked at Li Feng. His eyes lit up. "You're Li Feng, right? You've been quite famous recently. It even reached my ears."

"Senior, you're joking. Junior was just making a small fuss. It wasn't worth mentioning at all. It was just some exaggerated rumors," said Li Feng humbly.

He had beaten up the successor of another family, so he naturally did not dare to be impudent now. Furthermore, this was a Destruction-Rank expert.

"It doesn't matter whether it's the truth or the rumors."

Li Tianming shook his head and did not continue struggling with this question. Instead, he went straight to the point and said, "You came this time to ask me to help you forge a Sword Embryo. I wonder what your requirements are?"

"I hope that I can create a sword embryo that doesn't increase attributes or characteristics," said Li Feng.

"There are no attributes. Are you sure?"

This time, Li Tianming was a little surprised. Normally, when people forged weapons, they hoped that the more attribute points they had, the better. The stronger the characteristics, the better. Thus, he didn't expect Li Feng to actually want to forge a weapon that didn't increase attributes or characteristics.

Li Feng nodded and said, "I'm sure."

According to the Superfluous Sword Sutra, the purer the sword embryo, the better its future growth rate.

"No problem. You should have prepared the materials, right?" Li Tianming looked deeply at Li Feng and said.

"It's all prepared." As he spoke, Li Feng took out three divine-rank materials. They were the Black Tortoise Ice Iron, the Heavenly Blue Ice Crystal, and lastly, a very long piece of Life Spirit Wood.

This Life Spirit Wood even had the chance to evolve into a Tree of Life, but now, it was used by Li Feng as a material.

"They're all divine-rank materials," said Li Xingwu in shock.

The materials in front of him had a faint glow on their surface and a mysterious aura was emitted. The surrounding space was affected and various strange scenes appeared.

He was shocked by Li Feng's extravagant spending. Even their Li family had a certain degree of difficulty in producing such a divine-rank material.

Li Xingwu glanced at Luo Yunyang and realized that he was calm and collected. This made him sigh in his heart. "The Luo Family is really well-hidden!"

However, he didn't know. Luo Yunyang was also shocked. He knew that Li Feng had gathered the materials, but he hadn't expected three of them to be god-grade materials. Thus, he cursed in his heart. "This prodigal."

Actually…

He wanted Li Feng to gather divine-rank materials because he wanted him to gather a small piece of them and mix them into rare and precious materials. He didn't expect Li Feng to plan on using the divine-rank materials to forge the entire sword embryo.

"Are you sure you don't want to increase your attributes and characteristics?" Li Tianming asked again.

The Sword Embryo forged from such materials did not have any attribute or characteristics that could be increased. For players, it could only be used as an extremely sharp and sturdy ordinary sword. It was too wasteful.

"There's no need for that." Li Feng shook his head. In terms of the cultivation system of immortal energy, there was no concrete data. Thus, attribute increases and characteristics were useless.

Furthermore, the waters in the Class system of the players were too deep. He suspected that many of the things inside were illusory and did not have the ability to master them for the time being.

Although there were no obvious changes to the player Class system, he had already used the Grand Yan Sword Immortal as his retreat path.

"Alright, go out and refine them!" Li Tianming nodded again. Then, he waved his hand and the three divine-rank materials automatically flew over and landed in his palm.

Then…

As everyone walked out of the room, Luo Yunyang reminded Li Feng that it was a lucky thing to see a Smithing Guru. He might even gain something from this. Thus, he would have to take a good look later.

Li Feng nodded. Actually, even without Luo Yunyang saying anything, he would still watch the game seriously.

This was because his sub Class, the Miracle Invoker, had just stepped into the second level and could already refine the power of godhood.

At the third level, it should be even more mysterious.

Li Tianming arrived by the stream and stopped in his tracks. "You guys stay away from me."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng and the other two hurriedly retreated more than a hundred meters.

To them, a distance of more than a hundred meters was no different from watching from the side.

Li Tianming's expression was solemn as he watched them leave. Although he was a Smithing Grandmaster, refining three divine-rank materials at the same time was quite difficult.

Boom!

A kiln appeared in the void. Space instantly froze, as if it was enduring a powerful pressure.

This kiln was very large and was two meters tall. It had four feet and two ears. There were strange patterns on the surface of the kiln, making it seem like redbud flowers were blooming.

"It looks like the Patriarch has really put in a lot of effort into this weapon refinement. He even took out the Redbud kiln," said Li Xingwu in surprise when he saw the kiln.

It should be known that Li Tianming usually wouldn't even take out the Redbud Furnace when refining weapons for the family. Could it be that he really thought highly of Li Feng?

If that was the case, he might have to change his attitude towards Li Feng.

In the distance.

Li Xingming did not know what Li Xingwu was thinking. Otherwise, he would have to ruthlessly hit Li Xingwu's stupid head.

It had to be known that there were three types of divine-rank materials in front of him. If he did not use his full strength, he might not even be able to melt the materials.

Hualala… The bottom of the Redbud Furnace lit up with three-colored true fire. Then, the temperature in the air suddenly rose. Even Li Feng and the other two, who were 100 meters away, could feel a wave of heat rushing towards them.

Whoosh!

When the fire was at its peak, a divine-rank material was thrown in, followed by the Black Tortoise Ice Iron.

Crackle! Crackle! A sound that was like thunder instantly rang out from within the kiln. Li Tianming knew that the ice surface on the outermost layer of the Dark Mysterious Ice Iron had melted.

Roar!

After a full half an hour, a huge roar suddenly sounded, shaking the sky as a terrifying impact spread in all directions.

Blood flowed from the corner of Li Feng's mouth. That roar had injured him.

Meanwhile, Li Xingwu and Luo Yunyang's faces turned pale. It was obvious that they weren't feeling too good either. They watched the arena with solemn expressions as a shocking phenomenon took place.

In the void, a huge Black Tortoise appeared. It carried a green-black tortoise shell on its back, and there was a eight trigrams diagram on it. It covered the Black Tortoise's body like a cloak.

"The Black Tortoise has appeared!" The three of them gasped.

Li Feng was even more shocked. He had long known that the divine-rank material had come from a small part of the turtle shell on the Black Tortoise's back. However, he hadn't expected that after it melted, the Black Tortoise phantom would appear.

In the distance.

Li Xingming also had a solemn expression. He hadn't expected such a change in events. Dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was the closest to the Black Tortoise and thus faced the greater impact. However, he was powerful and wasn't injured.

He sighed in his heart. "To think that such a material would only be used to forge an ordinary weapon. It is truly a pity."

Then, he extended his spiritual power into the kiln and found a ball of bluish-black liquid. It was the appearance of the Black Tortoise Ice Iron after it had completely melted.

The layer of ice essence on the surface also completely fused into the ball of liquid.

Whoosh!

Right at this moment, a palm-sized blue divine stone was thrown in. It was the Heavenly Blue Ice Crystal.
