Chapter 48: The Opportunity to Refine a Treasure

"Big Brother, have a good journey."

"Everything is fine!"

In the living room, Fang Heng and Lin Yichen sat face to face.

He ordered the maid to serve tea to Lin Yichen as a sign of hospitality.

Lin Yichen took a sip of the spiritual tea and spoke slowly.

"Junior Brother, the deal you proposed has been agreed to by Master and Master."

Lin Yichen's words did not surprise Fang Heng.

Although the magic items related to escape techniques are precious, they are still strange items after all.

Five for one, Changqing Temple definitely made a profit.

"This is the exchange list agreed upon by Master and Master."

Fang Heng took the list and took a look at it. It listed five rare items.

In the transaction of military books.

From the Crown Prince to the Eighth Prince, except for the Second Prince who seized the initiative.

The other seven people all bought military books from Fang Heng.

Fang Heng made a fortune and got eighteen rare items.

In addition to refining the two rare items, the [Broken Rainbow Sword] and the [Green Silkworm Jade Armor], he also refined them.

Huo Manzi was given two rare items with fire attributes, the [Mysterious Fire Claw] and the [Flame Pearl].

The remaining fourteen rare items were placed by Fang Heng in the inner treasury of the palace.

Used for trading or rewarding to subordinates.

After reading the list, Fang Heng ordered his servants to fetch the five rare items from the palace's inner storehouse: the [Splitting Dome Awl], [Red Dust Order], [Exquisite Jade], [Sea-Suppressing Seal], and [Dragon Scale Sword].

Five for one, deal done.

Both Changqing Temple and Fang Heng felt that they had made a profit.

After trading for the [Tiangang Sword Pill], Fang Heng can go to the City of Life and Death and complete the transaction with Rabbit Face.

Fang Heng had been coveting the chessboard and chess pieces of Emperor Yu Ling in Rabbit Face's hands for a long time.

"When do you plan to return to the mountain, brother?"

"Have dinner at the palace before leaving!"

Fang Heng said politely. Lin Yichen hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother. Today is the seventh day after my friend's death. I was planning to go and pay my respects."

As they spoke, Lin Yichen and Fang Heng talked about the memorial service.

"Shang Lengyun and I are childhood friends. When we were young, we climbed Changqing Mountain together and became disciples at Changqing Temple."

"I was accepted into the sect by the master, but Leng Yun was evaluated as having mediocre spiritual roots."

"Leng Yun was so angry that he didn't want to be a menial disciple in Changqing Temple, so he left Changqing Mountain and became a free cultivator."

"Later, by chance, I received the inheritance of a formation master and entered the Formation Court."

The Zhen Court is a department under the Ministry of Industry.

The God-Slaying Formation above Yujing is maintained by the Formation Court.

Lin Yichen took a sip of the spiritual tea and continued.

"Some time ago, I asked Leng Yun to design a restriction for my Zichen Sword..."

Hearing this, Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and blurted out.

"Big Brother, do you want to refine a precious treasure?"

"That's right!"

Lin Yichen nodded without hiding anything.

The biggest difference between a valuable treasure and a rare object is that a valuable treasure has spirits.

The spirituality of a treasure is equivalent to that of a child. To refine a treasure, one needs the approval of its spirit.

If it is not recognized by the spirit of the weapon, it will be refined forcibly.

At the very least, the spirituality will be damaged and the power of the treasure will be greatly reduced.

In serious cases, the spirit of the weapon will be extremely fierce and will destroy everything, and the person will perish together while holding the treasure.

It is precisely because refining precious treasures involves considerable trouble.

Therefore, some Taoist predecessors took a different approach.

Refine the rare objects in your hands into precious treasures.

Because the rare object has been refined, the spirit of the weapon will not object even if it is promoted to a treasure.

In this way, the threshold of obtaining the approval of the spirit of the weapon is bypassed.

Lin Yichen wanted to set up restrictions in the Zichen Sword to improve its quality and make it a treasure.

"A few days ago, I received news from Leng Yun that the design of the restriction was almost complete."

"At that time, I was happy all night long."

"Unexpectedly, a few days later, I received the news that Leng Yun had passed away."

Lin Yichen's face showed sadness, loss and helplessness.

After listening to the story between the senior brother and his best friend, Fang Heng nodded slightly and said lightly.

"Big Brother, I'll go with you."

"Shang Lengyun is an official appointed by the imperial court after all. As a prince, I should visit his widow on behalf of the imperial court."

"Hmm?" Lin Yichen was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy flashed across his face.

"Thank you, little brother."

He was an outsider, and ultimately could not compare to his junior brother, the prince, in taking care of Shang Lengyun's widow.

Fang Heng went to pay tribute, and he also had his own little thoughts.

The method of refining precious treasures!

This made him jealous.

Although it was specially designed for the eldest senior brother's Zi Chen Sword.

If used on his Broken Rainbow Sword, it may not be a perfect fit.

But... a stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade.

This refining drawing is still very instructive.

The two of them got on a carriage and headed for the palace.

The carriage slowly drove through the streets of Yujing.

The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, making a dull sound.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Shang Mansion.

The gate of Shang Mansion was covered in white.

A white banner hangs on the mottled red-painted door.

The lanterns on the door lintel were also changed to white.

In the mourning hall, the pretty young woman was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with pity.

A child of two or three years old did not seem to understand the meaning of all this.

Just seeing my mother crying so hard, I couldn't help but feel sad.

In addition to Shang Lengyun's widow, there were more than a dozen distant relatives of the Shang family guarding the mourning hall.

From time to time, covetous eyes fell on the young woman's round buttocks and slender waist.

I want to look pretty in mourning clothes. Leng Yun's wife is really beautiful.

No wonder he died at such a young age, he must have been sucked dry.

A white-haired old man walked up to Madam Shang and said in a deep voice.

"Nephew Leng Yun's wife, what are your thoughts on asking Qingque to recognize my Erlang as his godfather?"

Madam Shang was wearing mourning clothes, and her pretty face was tearful, her eyes slightly fixed.

"Second Master, the matter of recognizing Qingque as a godfather is of great importance. Please allow me, your niece-in-law, to think it over carefully."

"Leng Yun just left not long ago, there's no rush, wait a few days..."

Before Madam Shang could finish her words, the gray-haired Second Master's face darkened and he shouted harshly.

"How can I not be anxious?"

"Qingque is still young now and doesn't recognize people. Only by recognizing her godfather can we have a better relationship in the future."

"If I wait until Qingque is older before recognizing him as my godfather, the relationship won't be as good as when we were kids."

"Second uncle is right. This godfather can only be recognized as a close relative when he was a child."

Hearing the words of persuasion from the distant relatives of the Shang family, Mrs. Shang clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

She bit her red lips tightly, trying hard not to shed tears.

This scene of forcing someone to recognize their godfather was witnessed by Fang Heng and Lin Yichen who came to pay their respects.

Fang Heng's face looked a little ugly.

What does it mean to have a godfather?

It's clearly a plan to wipe out the entire family!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shang family was an orphan and had no cultivation, he wanted to seize the Shang family's property.

"Prince Dongdai has arrived!"

With a report, the threatening voices in the mourning hall stopped instantly.

It was as if the stop button had been pressed, and it disappeared very abruptly.

When Mrs. Shang saw Fang Heng and Lin Yichen, a hint of hope suddenly appeared in her haggard eyes.

She didn't know the Prince of Dongda, but her husband's good friend Lin Yichen would visit her every year.

"This humble girl pays homage to His Highness."

"I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Everyone knelt down to welcome Fang Heng.

Loud shouts echoed throughout the mourning hall.

"Madam Shang, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Fang Heng only asked Madam Shang to stand up, but did not ask anyone else to stand up.

A group of distant relatives, led by the second uncle of the Shang family, looked at each other, with a deep sense of unease in their hearts.

Fang Heng ignored the psychological reactions of these distant relatives of the Shang family and spoke to Mrs. Shang in a comforting tone.

"Madam Shang, Lord Shang has been diligent and dedicated to the country. The court will not forget it."

"Today, I represent the imperial court and come to pay my respects."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the palace to find me."

When he said the word "trouble", Fang Heng glanced in the direction of the distant relatives of the Shang family.

Just one look was enough to scare the distant relatives of the Shang family to death.

Upon hearing Fang Heng's words, Mrs. Shang burst into tears.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

"Qingque, kowtow to His Highness quickly."

"I know, mother."

Qingque, who was only two or three years old, didn't know the meaning of Fang Heng's words just now.

He simply followed his mother's instructions and kowtowed three times to Fang Heng.

Afterwards, Fang Heng and Lin Yichen walked to the memorial tablet.

With a solemn expression, he lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

During the memorial service, Fang Heng's external poison pill made a slight vibration.

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

This abnormal movement is caused by the external poison pill. When encountering toxins, there is a natural desire.

As for the source of the toxin, it could only be...

Leng Shangyun's body in the coffin.

Fang Heng was a little suspicious and didn't say it directly.

After completing the memorial service, Fang Heng and Lin Yichen came to the study in Shang Mansion and waited anxiously.

"Junior brother, thank you so much this time."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little effort."

Fang Heng said this lightly, feeling emotional in his heart.

As a prince, he could change the fate of an entire family with just one word.

This is the influence that the identity of a prince brings to him.

Lin Yichen said no more, but he remembered all the kindness he had shown today in his heart.

If Fang Heng hadn't come today, let him deal with the matter of the extinct family.

Perhaps, he would chop all these scums to pieces with one sword.

After waiting for a while, Madam Shang came to the study, probably to deal with the group of distant relatives who wanted to wipe out the family.

"I thank Your Highness for your help. I will serve you like a slave in the future to repay your kindness."

Madam Shang bowed politely, her heart filled with gratitude.

Lin Yichen moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something.

Mrs. Shang was also very smart. She knew why Lin Yichen came and said.

"Master Lin, Leng Yun left behind a wooden box, saying it was for you, Master Lin."

"Now, I will return the property to its original owner."

As she spoke, Mrs. Shang took out a wooden box from the bookshelf and handed it to Lin Yichen.

Lin Yichen took the wooden box, his fingers trembling slightly.

He opened the box and found an ancient scroll inside, which was densely covered with formations and runes.

It was the restriction blueprint he designed for the Zi Chen Sword.

“Leng Yun…”

Lin Yichen murmured softly, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Leng Shangyun has already completed the method of upgrading the Zichen Sword into a precious treasure.

This was really beyond Lin Yichen's expectations.

Afterwards, Lin Yichen copied the refining method and handed it to Fang Heng.

"Junior brother, please accept this refining method."

Fang Heng did not refuse and accepted Lin Yichen's kindness with a smile.

This scroll is an opportunity to refine a precious treasure.
