Chapter 40

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han exchanged a glance, both wearing bitter smiles. They dared not respond, fearing that they would be scolded as trash, and where would they put their old faces then!

Li Yunxiao suddenly gave Xu Han a flirtatious smile, "Hehe, President Xu, about that arrangement of the female waitresses you mentioned earlier. Hehe, don't forget next time."

Xu Han: "..."

Li Yunxiao stood up, walked to the wall, and pulled out the large black iron sword. The entire blade was pitch black, without a hint of luster or sharpness, looking like a large iron rod, completely unremarkable.

This time, Jia Rong learned his lesson and did not dare to speak, standing cautiously behind to serve.

Li Yunxiao glanced at the large iron sword, a smile appearing in his eyes. He praised, "Not bad, just as I expected. Master Zhang, Master Xu, what do you think?" He handed the black iron sword to the two of them.

Zhang Qingfan hurriedly said, "Master Yunxiao, just call me by my name, I dare not be called Master!" He gently stroked the large iron sword, slowly sensing it with his soul power.

Xu Han also examined it carefully, his brows furrowed, then gradually relaxed, his eyes full of surprise.

"How is it?" Li Yunxiao asked with a smile.

Zhang Qingfan knew he was testing them, so he did not dare to be arrogant. He pondered and said, "Grade one, perfect construction, as if formed by heaven and earth, with immense power flowing within. I have never seen such a harmonious mystic weapon. However, it is entirely in its raw iron state. May I ask, Master Yunxiao, how will this sword be unsealed? What will it look like after unsealing?"

A mystic weapon is a weapon that contains immense energy. The process of alchemy can only simplify the path to releasing this energy, which is known as the "unsealing" state!

But Li Yunxiao's mystic weapon was already in the "unsealed" state of energy release. To directly refine a mystic weapon to the unsealed state was unheard of by the three of them. However, after just a few hours, their previous knowledge barriers were completely overturned, so they were no longer surprised.

Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "Not bad, I condensed this energy burst state during the refining process, so it cannot be unsealed again in battle. But did you see the piece of Purple Sunstone I put in later?"

"Purple Sunstone?" Xu Han mused, "Isn't it a key ingredient for setting up a gravity array?"

Li Yunxiao smiled, "Exactly, a gravity array. I integrated two gravity arrays into this unsealed mystic weapon. Watch carefully, unseal!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qingfan and the others suddenly felt a huge pulling force from the ground, instantly being sucked to the floor, making it difficult to move! Xu Han was shocked, "Ten times gravity!"

Li Yunxiao smiled, "Yes, ten times gravity. But I only released one gravity array. The other also contains ten times gravity, so when combined, it's a hundred times gravity. Unfortunately, the Purple Sunstone is a bit lacking. Otherwise, I could have condensed three arrays, creating a thousand times gravity. However, the mystic weapon itself would not be able to withstand such a strong pull and would likely destroy itself the moment the three arrays were unsealed."

"Three arrays, three unseals!"

The three of them were completely stunned, their minds blank as they stared at the colorless black iron heavy sword.

A mystic weapon that can be unsealed three more times in the unsealed state, what does that mean! Li Yunxiao once again overturned their previous common knowledge...

Zhang Qingfan swallowed hard, "Master Yunxiao, can, can we study this sword for a few days?"

Xu Han and Jia Rong also had shining eyes, full of anticipation.

Li Yunxiao sneered, "Humph, give it to you three trash? What will I use? Your trash Spring Water Sword?"

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han smiled bitterly, still being called trash by the other party. But thinking about what they had seen and learned in the past few hours, they indeed were trash before!

Zhang Qingfan now thought of his Spring Water Sword and felt it was more and more trash, even a hint of shame flashed across his face. He really wanted to ask Li Yunxiao to take it back and destroy it immediately, so no one would know it was his work.

Seeing the two third-grade alchemists being called trash by Young Master Yun without a word, Jia Rong felt a sense of relief. He even felt that being called trash by Young Master Yun was an honor, a status, a happiness. His sense of pride surged.

Li Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "This sword is mainly for cultivation. This way, I can endure ten times or a hundred times gravity every day, making my cultivation progress rapidly. As the saying goes, a heavy sword is not sharp, and its size is not precise. I will name this sword 'Black Girl.'"

When Li Yunxiao said, "A heavy sword is not sharp, and its size is not precise," the three of them felt a hint of a rule within, their hearts moved, and they were amazed. But soon, after hearing the name of the sword, they all fainted!

Jia Rong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and weakly asked, "Young Master Yun, what does 'a heavy sword is not sharp, and its size is not precise' have to do with the name 'Black Girl'?"

Li Yunxiao said, "Nothing, I just said it off the top of my head."

The three of them fainted again...

After putting away the Black Girl sword, he came to the alchemy furnace. After a few hours, the fragrance of the pills still filled the air, refreshing and invigorating.

In the inner chamber of the alchemy furnace, two types of pills lay distinctly. There were four milky white Chongyuan Pills and ten light green detoxification pills, all crystal clear and emitting a faint glow of pill power.

"Zi! Pure-grade pills!" Xu Han exclaimed, his eyes bulging.

Jia Rong had seen Li Yunxiao purify finished pills before, so he was mentally prepared. Seeing the two masters' surprised expressions, a sense of superiority surged within him, and he almost burst out laughing, "Haha, these are the pills my master refined. As his servant, I am so happy!"

Chongyuan Pills are a type of mystic pill that martial disciples take when advancing to the First Yuan Realm. They can greatly increase the chances of success. However, each martial disciple can only take it once, and if they fail, taking it again will have no effect.

Therefore, although there are many Chongyuan Pills on the market, their prices vary depending on their quality. A pure-grade pill like Li Yunxiao's has never appeared before. Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were almost certain that if a martial practitioner who had opened seven pulse wheels took this pill, they would advance 100% unless they were dead.

"Alright, thank you for lending me the alchemy room. As a reward, I will spend half an hour answering your questions. If you have any doubts, you can ask me. Besides alchemy and martial arts, I am also accomplished in music, arrays, painting, chess, and even seducing women, and I can answer all your questions."

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were overjoyed, but then felt a bit dizzy. They would never use such precious time to ask about seducing women, so they quickly began to ask about their usual doubts.

Li Yunxiao started answering their questions one by one. Although Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were renowned, it was only within the Tian Shui Kingdom. Li Yunxiao, in his previous life, was a ninth-grade imperial alchemist, famous throughout the world! Countless high-level alchemists from all over the continent had gathered to seek his guidance. Teaching these two was like teaching elementary school students, very easy.

Although Jia Rong did not ask any questions, he learned more than he had in his entire life. He forced himself to remember all the questions and answers, planning to write them down as soon as he returned, fearing he would forget.

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were increasingly amazed and fascinated as they asked more questions. Soon, half an hour passed.

"Master Yunxiao," Zhang Qingfan was now completely convinced, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.

He and Xu Han stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Master, for answering our questions."

Li Yunxiao did not dodge at all, calmly accepting their bow, then turned and left, his laughter echoing in the distance, "I'm off first. I'll come back to teach you again when I have time. By the way, President Xu, remember to arrange it next time, don't forget."

Xu Han: "..."

Zhang Qingfan watched Li Yunxiao's disappearing back, then bowed and stood up, taking a deep breath, "Old Xu, what do you think of Master Yunxiao?"

Xu Han's eyes flashed with a bitter smile, and he said solemnly, "Unfathomable!"

Zhang Qingfan murmured, "Unfathomable, truly unfathomable! Over a decade ago, I had the honor of learning some alchemy techniques from Lord Yang Di. The feeling I got from Lord Yang Di is very similar to Master Yunxiao, very similar."

Xu Han was puzzled, "But he said he is not a disciple of Yang Di. We alchemists value respect for teachers and the way of the Dao. If Master Yunxiao were truly a disciple of Lord Yang Di, he would not deny it."

Zhang Qingfan shook his head, a hint of shock in his eyes, "I believe he is not a disciple of Lord Yang Di. The feeling he gives me is even more..." His eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, "Even more unfathomable than Lord Yang Di!"

After leaving the Alchemists' Guild, Li Yunxiao headed to Meng Wu's home. He planned to give the pills to her and her brother, and also because after absorbing Meng Bai's body toxins and this refining session, he felt his strength had improved significantly, he wanted to find a place to meditate and cultivate.

The college was on break, and the Li family was in a contentious situation. The suburban area where Meng Wu and her brother lived was undoubtedly the best place.

When Li Yunxiao arrived in the suburbs, he found the house empty. He waited for a long time before Meng Wu returned, still wearing her hotel waitress uniform, not having had time to change.

"Young Master Yun, why are you here!" She was delighted but saw Li Yunxiao's unfriendly expression and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Yunxiao's face was dark, and he said coldly, "Where is Meng Bai?"

Meng Wu was uneasy, "He got better and went mining with the uncle next door."

"Sister, I'm back!"

Meng Bai ran in, his face full of joy. He saw Li Yunxiao, paused, and then happily poured out a pile of raw essence stones from his storage bag, excitedly saying, "Master, Sister, look, I dug out so many raw essence stones today!"

"Slap!"

Li Yunxiao slapped Meng Bai, sending him flying, "Kneel down!"
