Kamimine

Chapter 185 Name Your Condition

Wei Rourou led Liu Chengfeng around the Sword Pavilion, strolling through the streets and alleys, her cheerful laughter echoing from time to time.

She, the senior disciple of Jianlu, hadn't been so joyful and happy in a long time.

Enjoy snacks at the street stalls along the main street; buy trinkets at the old shops in the alleyways...

Or perhaps the two of them sit on the steps, eating snacks, enjoying the breeze, and swinging their legs, feeling comfortable and at ease.

Jianlu was safe and secure, and Liu Chengfeng was relaxed and carefree, stealing half a day of leisure from his busy life, enjoying a rare moment of comfort with Wei Rourou.

Wei Rourou was sometimes in front, urging Liu Chengfeng to hurry up so they could buy desserts from the old shop.

Sometimes he would walk hand in hand with Liu Chengfeng, strolling along the old street, watching the pond and listening to the wind.

…………

The older sister, with a radiant smile, was as carefree as a young girl, completely forgetting about important matters.

On the way, they encountered Xiao Hanye. Seeing their affection and happiness, Xiao Hanye's eyes blazed with fury, and he gritted his teeth.

Wei Rourou ignored her and ran off with Liu Chengfeng in tow.

Liu Chengfeng didn't mind and followed her, relaxing and having fun, exploring the entire Sword Pavilion.

"Master Xu is indeed remarkable; he has managed the Sword Pavilion very well."

In the end, even Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh, realizing how easy it was for him to teach an apprentice.

To have taught so many outstanding disciples and to run the Sword Pavilion so prosperously and with such freedom and enlightenment, is truly the work of a genius.

"Yes, Master has indeed had a tough time."

Overjoyed, Wei Rourou sighed softly, her smile fading, her demeanor gentle and beautiful.

What's on your mind again?

Liu Chengfeng casually tucked her hair behind her ear.

"This burden is going to fall on my shoulders, Master. I don't know how long I'll have to carry it. I envy you, traveling the world and exploring every corner of the earth."

"Okay, that's enough. If I don't take you with me soon, I'm going to get scolded."

Wei Rourou swept her hair back, smoothing it to the end, and led Liu Chengfeng back.

Inside the ancient castle of Sword Pavilion, Master Xu was already waiting. As the foremost swordsmith, he was remarkably patient.

"Should I say you got lost, or that you kidnapped my girl?"

Master Xu shook his head and laughed.

Master Xu's hair was as white as frost, and his four arms were like dragons. Even when he restrained himself, a divine might still emanated from him, like a giant volcano god, dominating the four regions.

Master Xu was not only the foremost swordsmith, but also a formidable deity-maker, just one step away from creating a godhood.

“Master, Brother Liu doesn’t even look down on a country girl like me, so how could he possibly run away with me?”

Wei Rourou was poised and elegant, her hair tucked behind her ears.

Liu Chengfeng composed himself and greeted Master Xu.

The First Swordsmith is not merely skilled at forging swords; he himself is extremely powerful, capable of suppressing a divine kingdom and intimidating hundreds of nations and thousands of religions.

I fear that there is few who can rival him, except perhaps the Supreme God.

"I'm curious, have you reached the fifth level of refinement? Your blood sea is larger than mine."

Master Xu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Wei Rourou blinked her beautiful eyes, sparkling as she awaited Liu Chengfeng's answer.

"If the Celestial Master gave me the Five Refining Spirit Stove, I could also try refining it."

Liu Chengfeng smiled frankly and did not hide his shortcomings.

"Fifty miles of blood sea, how did you train to that level?"

Even though Master Xu was prepared, he still gasped.

"Fifty-one li."

Liu Chengfeng told him frankly.

Wei Rourou was shocked and covered her mouth slightly. Even though she had guessed it, she was still stunned.

"What level have you reached?"

Master Xu took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

"If I were given a fifth-level spiritual furnace, I could also reach the Innate Realm after four levels of Refining the Innate Realm."

Liu Chengfeng told the truth; he wasn't pretending, he was simply stating the facts.

"The Blood Sea can be relied upon, but its quality requires both talent and hard work. What kind of cultivation method is this—"

"You don't need to tell me."

Master Xu was shocked. He waved his hand lightly, showing no intention of prying into Liu Chengfeng's privacy.

Within the fifty-one miles of the Blood Sea, one must either cultivate a more powerful mental technique or possess more powerful divine blood; neither can be lacking.

However, to reach the highest level, one must practice diligently, persevere bravely, and possess extraordinary talent to achieve innate ability.

Wei Rourou's beautiful eyes blinked and sparkled, her gaze shimmering like autumn waves.

"Compared to you, I'm almost finished in this lifetime. I've been trying to comprehend the Dao for ten thousand years, but I haven't succeeded in creating a divine path. I'm wondering if I should settle for second best."

"Whether or not to use bitter ginseng, whether or not to create the divine scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, I dare not seek the highest grade or the innate grade, the middle and lower grades are enough."

Master Xu expressed his troubles and predicaments.

"However, compared with my predecessors, I, the first swordsmith, am somewhat shameful."

Master Xu shook his head with a sigh.

He was just one step away from being crowned a supreme god—the founder of the divine path.

However, despite his seclusion and contemplation for ten thousand years, he failed to achieve his goal.

This led him to consider alternatives, and he created the Divine Scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

"How did the Six-Tier God and the Nine Heavens Ancient God achieve the Five Refinements?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

It is certain that the Divine Dynasty does not possess the Divine Scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury. The fifty-mile Blood Sea is not enough for the Sage Scroll of the Innate Realm alone.

"Directly kill the strongest imperial beasts, those with the longest lifespans. Nowadays, apart from those few that you can't afford to provoke, there are hardly any left."

Master Xu lamented that this was also the reason why he had difficulty completing the Five Refinements.

"Damn, that's so simple and brutal."

Liu Chengfeng clicked his tongue in amazement; this was the confidence of the Supreme God.

Instead of painstakingly creating the divine scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, it would be better to directly slay the Emperor Beast and obtain its true blood.

Master Xu was also filled with resentment; he too longed to become an existence like the Six Vehicles God or the Nine Heavens Ancient Emperor God.

He was both a supreme god and a master swordsmith, but unfortunately, he was lacking in both aspects.

“You’ve locked up the entire Sacrifice Plains. The Divine Realm is willing to make this deal. Name your terms.”

Master Xu is discussing serious matters.

The divine realm did not intervene; instead, they left it to Master Xu.

"A deal is absolutely necessary?"

Liu Chengfeng countered with a question.

"This is a disgrace to the Divine Realm. Moreover, the Divine Kingdom cannot be absent from the divine bestowal, since important figures must enter the sacrificial mountain and the Supreme God sacrifices the Karmic Fire Realm."

Master Xu revealed his true intentions to Liu Chengfeng: the Divine Kingdom must obtain the divinely bestowed quota, even if it's just one.

Otherwise, the dignity of the supreme deity would be lost.

Liu Chengfeng refused to trade with the Divine Kingdom, so they could not obtain the Lockway Mine and had to circumvent the ancestral precepts through roundabout means.

"For this, Tian Kui and Gu Shun paid a considerable price, which must be offered to the divine realm."

Master Xu gave Liu Chengfeng a meaningful reminder.

This is no longer a deal with the divine kingdom, but with the divine realm. Nor is it facing the Heavenly Emperor's son or the Ancient Goddess Shun, but rather beings like the chief god and divine officials.

This being is capable of suppressing the Azure Mist Realm; few can stand against it.

"A deal is inevitable sooner or later. You can't just take away the Dao mine; the entire Divine Dynasty would turn against you."

Master Xu laughed.

Liu Chengfeng understood this principle: if they locked up the mine, they would eventually have to return it to the Divine Dynasty, unless they truly turned against it and fought to the death.

"Okay, let's make a deal."

Liu Chengfeng agreed, but selling them one by one would be more troublesome. It would be better to just package them up and sell them back to the Divine Dynasty.

“Excellent, it saves Jianlu a lot of trouble. My old bones can’t possibly explore and lock all the mines one by one. You’re amazing, locking them all in one go.”

Master Xu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.

Even someone as powerful as him couldn't just lock down a mine at will. Someone of his status couldn't possibly stay in the Sword Forging Plains all day searching for veins and locking down mines.

Master Xu asked Liu Chengfeng to state his terms.

"Important mine."

Liu Chengfeng made concessions, which was exactly what he needed right now.

"I thought you wanted the cultivation method of the Central Mahayana Heavenly Scroll."

Master Xu was not surprised and laughed.

"A mere top-grade Heavenly Scroll, I have no interest."

Liu Chengfeng stated the facts: if he needed it, he had the Heavenly Scroll of Innate Power.

It's a ready-made technique, even more powerful than the "Central Mahayana Heavenly Scroll".

Master Xu's mouth could fit an egg.

Wei Rourou was also speechless.

"A mere high-grade Heavenly Scroll? Do you know how rude and infuriating that is? This is the most prized treasure of our Divine Dynasty, something countless people would fight tooth and nail to obtain."

The Heavenly Scroll of the High Grade is an absolutely unparalleled technique that will shake the entire Qingmeng Realm, capable of causing everyone to suffer severe head injuries.

Liu Chengfeng, however, said, "It's just a mere top-grade Heavenly Scroll," which shows how much he looked down on the Divine Dynasty.

Wei Rourou sighed, "Domineering and arrogant, looking down upon the Divine Dynasty, there is no one like you in the world."

"You need top-grade mineral ore."

Master Xu also heard the news.

"Yes, six of the Devouring Dragon's top-grade Dao Ore, not one less. This is the basic condition of the transaction."

Liu Chengfeng set a price.

"I think you might want to consider having a congenital one."

Master Xu made the decision for him.

"Does the Divine Dynasty possess innate mineral deposits?"

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

"There is no Dao mineral, but there is indeed a piece of innate vein gold, and it is quite large."

"Although it can't compare to that innate rare iron vein from back then, this large piece has the advantage of being attribute-free."

Master Xu also intended to help Liu Chengfeng and gave him a heads-up.

"This is it, I want it."

Liu Chengfeng's spirits lifted; he was determined to go.

He had been searching high and low without finding it, but then it came to him effortlessly. He had been looking for a piece of innate metal to forge a weapon.

Liu Chengfeng also mentioned the Falling Star Ore and the Golden Dragon Ore. If he could obtain them, he would refine these two weapons to the fifth rank.

"The first few conditions can be met, but the rest is uncertain."

Master Xu did not give Liu Chengfeng any guarantees, but only conveyed Liu Chengfeng's conditions.

The Divine Realm quickly responded, agreeing to provide the six Devouring Dragon Dao Ore and the Innate Vein Gold, but not the Falling Star Dao Ore and the Golden Dragon Dao Ore.

"Neither of these two. Fallen Star Ore is extremely rare, and the other two divine dynasties may not have it."

"As for the Golden Dragon Mine, the Fuguang Divine Kingdom traded with you once, and they have already looted it all. The Divine Dynasty is gone too."

Master Xu frankly told him that if needed, other mineral resources, if in small quantities, could be discussed.

"That's it."

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. The Devouring Dragon Path Ore and the Innate Vein Gold are too important; we must get them first.

Liu Chengfeng gave the sword-forging mark and locked the Dao mine, returning them all to the Divine Dynasty.

Master Xu brought six Devouring Dragon Path Ore and Innate Vein Gold from the Divine Realm.

Just as Master Xu said, this piece of innate vein gold is really big, like a large rock.

The pulse is like flowing gold, as if it's about to slip through your fingers.

The Devouring Dragon Mine is incredibly magical, varying in size and alternating between soft and hard.

"This piece of innate vein gold has been lying in the old man's treasure vault for a long time."

"The old folks have always hoped to recreate a primordial weapon like the Six-Transformation Reincarnation Starry Sky Armor."

Master Xu stroked the innate meridian gold and sighed.

"What kind of innate weapon is the Six-River Reincarnation Starry Sky Armor?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious about what kind of weapon the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, forged from innate rare iron, was.

"That thing is extraordinary. It was forged from an entire vein of innate rare iron ore and was made by the ancestral god."

"Forged by the six divine beings."

Liu Chengfeng was shocked. It was forged from an entire vein of innate rare iron ore, just like his innate true immortal bronze body.

His innate, true, bronze body has room to continue growing.

"Unfortunately, after the Nine Heavens Ancient God entered the Divine Sacrifice Karma Realm for the tenth time, he disappeared."

"Why did the Nine Heavens Ancient God, who had entered the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm, still perish?"

Liu Chengfeng gasped. How could a supreme god wielding innate armor die in the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm? What was going on?

"That place is unfathomable. Even if a god were to enter its deepest part, he would never return."

Master Xu was filled with awe, for he did not know what lay deep within the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm.

"Unfortunately, the Six-Transformation Starry Sky Armor can never be brought back."

To activate the Six Reincarnation Starry Sky Armor, one needs a fifty-mile sea of ​​blood. Since the Nine Heavens Ancient God, the Divine Dynasty has never produced such a swordsmith.

Liu Chengfeng wanted to know more about the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm, but Master Xu didn't know either.

Liu Chengfeng wanted to ask if the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm contained any sinister power, but due to his status, he couldn't ask.

"The Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom was destroyed by karmic fire. Is there really such a thing as karmic fire that can destroy an ancient kingdom? Will karmic fire really take revenge on the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance God?"

Liu Chengfeng asked about this from another angle.

"Well, who knows? Who would?"

Master Xu's answer was ambiguous and worth pondering.

"You can guess the qualifications for entering the sacrificial ceremony. If you dare to go, you can go and see."

Master Xu's words were a veiled encouragement to Liu Chengfeng.

"That's possible."

Liu Chengfeng had the same idea; he wanted to know where the black energy was hidden.

Master Xu was unwilling to discuss the matter further, so Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to drop the subject.

Having obtained the Devouring Dragon Path Ore, he rushed to forge a divine artifact.
