Chapter 64

When Ye Xiao took the phone, he glanced at it and finally understood what was going on.

It was the local program team of Jianghai City announcing that they had found the two strong individuals and would be conducting an exclusive interview with them at seven o'clock tonight.

This made Ye Xiao raise his eyebrows slightly.

He was clear in his mind that these two guys were definitely fake.

But why would they create two fakes?

To calm the people?

Obviously not possible. There hadn't been any major chaos in Jianghai City recently. The common people were living in peace and prosperity. Why would they need to calm the people?

Then... is it to lure him out?

After all, everyone knew that he was a supreme expert. Experts have their own temperaments.

If someone impersonated him, how could he just sit by and do nothing? He would definitely show up.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Ye Xiao wasn't some stubborn old man who cared about face. He was a young man and didn't really get angry about someone impersonating him.

It's not a big deal, and no one is going to die.

As long as there's no insult or defamation, everything else is fine.

"Boss, let's go to the TV station tonight. I heard they're doing an outdoor live broadcast today."

"No."

"Huh? Why not? Don't you want to see those two super experts that everyone in Jianghai City is talking about?"

"So what if I see them? Can I eat them? Or will it help me improve my cultivation?

If I have that time, I might as well go home and sleep."

Ning Yuheng was taken aback, then shook his head.

He found it hard to understand his boss's thinking and even harder to agree with his boss's views.

Those were two supreme experts, rare as a glimpse of a dragon's head. It was a once-in-a-century opportunity.

"If you're not going, I'll go by myself. But then I can't treat you to dinner today."

He was determined to go.

Ning Yuheng could guess that one of those experts must have saved him.

So, no matter what, he had to go and see, and ideally, thank that expert.

"Never mind, let's do it another day."

Ye Xiao responded indifferently.

After work, he and Liuli Cat went home, while Ning Yuheng headed to the TV station.

Ye Xiao was about to start experimenting with forging.

In the forging techniques he had learned, there were four basic methods summarized and imprinted in the golden book's divine soul.

Although he hadn't yet synthesized a top-level forging technique, he needed to start practicing and honing his skills.

He bought some raw materials from a material shop, all ordinary pig iron, spending about a thousand yuan.

For his first attempt, Ye Xiao didn't plan to use such high-quality materials.

It was just for practice, so he could play around with it.

The materials weren't much, about 1,000 pounds at 0.8 yuan per pound, but because it was iron, the volume wasn't large, only a few cubic meters, not even as big as a table.

Back at home, Ye Xiao immediately started forging.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao had read many novels where forging weapons or refining pills required fire.

But here, only spiritual energy was needed.

Spiritual energy was versatile, and its manifestation varied depending on the technique used.

When using a forging technique, the temperature of the spiritual energy would increase, gradually refining the impurities in the material and shaping it.

Under Ye Xiao's control, the 1,000 pounds of pig iron were quickly forged into a fine iron longsword.

The sword was three feet and three inches long, but its weight was far more than that of a regular sword of the same length.

Because it contained a large amount of iron essence, its weight reached over 40 pounds.

Ye Xiao roughly calculated that the ratio was nearly 30 to 1, which was quite acceptable.

After all, 1,000 pounds of pig iron cost only about a thousand yuan, which was quite a good deal.

The weight of the sword gave it higher rigidity, making it more effective in killing star beasts. It could protect the sword's body and also channel spiritual energy to cause greater damage to star beasts.

In short, it was more powerful.

Ye Xiao originally wanted to test how much his strength would increase with the sword.

But after some thought, he decided against it.

If he caused a big commotion, it would make the people of Jianghai City even more nervous and speculative.

Moreover, this sword was forged from pig iron. It might not withstand the pressure if he used it, given his Grandmaster cultivation level.

If it broke, it would be a loss.

He decided to wait until the next day to find out how much the sword could sell for, recoup some of his costs, and then try using higher-quality materials.

After finishing the forging, Ye Xiao was about to go to bed.

But at that moment, his phone lit up.

The caller ID showed Gu Hai's number.

"So late? Not sleeping with your wife, why are you calling me?"

"Old Ye, something happened. Your subordinate, Ning Yuheng, was arrested."

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"What did he do?"

"He caused a disturbance at the TV station."

Ye Xiao's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"That kid is quite refined, how could he cause trouble?"

"Not just him, many people caused trouble today, including Yu Yan."

Ye Xiao was even more puzzled.

"What exactly happened, explain clearly."

"Today, the TV station said they invited two supreme experts, a swordsman and a swordsman. But the two people they arranged were full of flaws and extremely arrogant. Yu Yan, Ning Yuheng, and many others said they were fake, and both sides started arguing. It's said that they even came to blows in the end."

"Was Qin Yuyan also arrested?"

"She wasn't. Her grandfather is the dean of Jianghai City's Martial Arts Academy. A phone call and she was released. But Ning Yuheng and a few other young people, without any background, were detained.

And they might have some trouble.

This isn't just a simple disturbance. I heard from my father-in-law that those two were fake, arranged by someone surnamed Zhao, to lure out the two experts.

But they were exposed by Ning Yuheng and others, ruining his plan. He probably won't let them off easily."

Ye Xiao rubbed his temples.

These people who play political games are truly despicable.

That Zhao probably wants something significant from him.

To outsiders, he is a swordsman and a swordsman, and possibly even a Grandmaster-level expert.

If such talents were found and recruited to the Nine States Alliance headquarters, it would be a great achievement, ensuring a promotion and a life of luxury!

These people, for their own interests, have no shame.

"I understand. Help me find a separate cell for Ning Yuheng. His face is a disaster, and he might not be safe in the cell. Also, make sure he eats and drinks well. We'll deal with the rest tomorrow."
