There is a completely enclosed courtyard in the Shang Mansion.
The walls of the small courtyard are towering, but there are steaming heat waves seeping out from inside. Even three feet away from the iron gate of the small courtyard, Shang Ke, Shang Jian, and Shang Yang can feel the overwhelming heat.
"Next time if we can open a furnace and refine weapons, we will definitely not be able to do it in the city."
Shang Ke looked up at the sky above the small courtyard. The steaming heat wave surged up, as if the void was being distorted by the heat.
Shang Yang said: "Who would have thought that Duan Hong, a low-grade weapon, actually took nearly two months to refine it. The furnace has been burning for two months. Now the entire Tongyou City probably knows about it. There is news that merchants are forging sharp weapons."
Shang Jian said: "This is my first time forging, so I'm not very skilled yet, but the fact that I can persevere till now is enough for Master Duan to be extraordinary. If nothing unexpected happens, this time our merchant will have someone who can forge sharp weapons." A master craftsman."
Shang Yang was a little disapproving and said: "Isn't it the result of the efforts of the whole clan? Otherwise, even if Duan Hong has the inheritance of forging sharp weapons, he may not be able to get one in fifty years as a casual cultivator. The spiritual materials needed for low-grade sharp weapons, not to mention the object given to him by his second brother, can increase the possibility of success a lot."
At this time, Shang Ke suddenly asked Shang Jian: "Is there any news from the third child?"
Shang Jian shook his head and said: "I received news a month and a half ago that the third child has gone north. The latest news from the third child a month ago was that he was going to Changfeng City. Since then, there has been no news. I think he has already entered the Qianye Mountains."
"No news for a month!"
Shang Ke sighed and said, "Is there any news from Yan Qi?"
Shang Yang said disapprovingly: "That guy has been walking birds all day long, but he hasn't brought back any news. Looking at his serious appearance, can he really communicate with a few chirping swifts?"
Shang Ke glanced at him, and Shang Yang was speechless.
At this time, Shang Jian asked: "Fifth Uncle, is there any news from Tongyou Academy? It has been two months since the attack on Chief Kou Shan was such a big thing. Is there no clue at all?"
Shang Yang also said: "Yes, the seventh sister entered Tongyou Academy a month and a half ago, how come she has never returned home yet?"
Shang Ke shook his head and said: "No news is the best news. Kou Chongxue, who does not know whether he is alive or dead, is the most intimidating headmaster of Tongyou Academy!"
Shang Jian thought for a while and said: "You mean that Tongyou Academy deliberately did not investigate anything, but instead made all parties secretly afraid?"
Shang Ke thought for a while and said: "What to check? How to check? A warrior who has refined his true destiny has reached the pinnacle of self-cultivation in this world. If he wants to hide, no one can find him. If he dies, he will never die in silence."
Shang Yang said thoughtfully: "But even so, doesn't anyone try to test it?"
Shang Ke sighed softly and said: "That's why I told you not to leave the city. Besides, Ji Wenlong has now reached the level of martial evil, and may even have cultivated fourth-level magical powers. Having him in charge of Tongyou Academy is enough to deter those with ulterior motives. Those who dare not really break up with each other."
"Ji Wenlong has achieved level 4? No wonder..."
Shang Jian's expression became more solemn when he heard this, and he said: "In this case, I'm afraid everything will be resolved only when the Coral Forest Xuan Realm comes out of the two realms of war?"
The three of them stood outside the small closed courtyard for a while. Xu Huizhu called Shang Jian away. Shang Yang looked around and saw that no one else was around. Then he rubbed his hands and said, "Dad, what is this?" Once Duan Hong really wants to master a sharp weapon and a spear, can you let me play with it for a few days first?"
Seeing Shang Ke's eyes suddenly turn sharp, Shang Yang quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to covet that spear, but isn't Shang Xia's nephew not here now? Instead of forging a low-grade sharp weapon and leaving it vacant, , you might as well leave it to me to increase your combat power. And once Shang Xia’s nephew returns to Tongyou City, I promise to return this spear to him as soon as possible!"
Shang Ke suddenly sighed and said, "I asked you to take the family members from Jizhou back to Tongyou City two months ago. Where are they now?"
Shang Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly and said: "Dad, in fact, your daughter-in-law and two grandchildren have already gone north. Isn't this because Tongyou City is not peaceful recently, so I will let them stay in Changmaple City for a while. , when the situation improves, I will return to Tongyou City to reunite with you."
Shang Ke sneered, and then said: "Let me ask you, how much family resources have you spent every year in Jizhou these years, and what contribution have you made to the family in the past few years?"
Shang Yang's face turned red from suppressing his emotions, and he looked a little embarrassed, but he spoke.
"It seems you know a bit of shame!"
Shang Ke nodded expressionlessly, then looked vaguely at the closed weapon refining room in front of him, and asked: "Did your practice of 'God's Will' go smoothly? How many shots of 'God's Will' have you mastered?" ?”
Shang Yang said: "I have barely finished the first chapter of 'God's Will Chapter', and there are still a few obscure parts that I have not yet understood. As for the 'God's Will Spear', I have already mastered two styles."
Shang Ke laughed at himself and said, "That's it? Where do you get the confidence and qualifications to hold this gun? You are not worthy!"
Shang Yang was ridiculed by his father, and naturally he felt unwilling to accept it, and said: "I am not worthy of being an uncle, but his nephew who is less than twenty years old is worthy?"
Shang Ke looked at his son seriously and said, "Yes, he is worthy!"
After saying that, Shang Ke turned and left, saying as he walked: "He has perfected the cultivation path of the Wuyuan Realm magical power 'Hunyuan Thunder Hand'. He has almost created a complete set of advanced potions, exercises, and martial arts , Wuji realm inheritance of magical powers, and has mastered at least six sets of Wuji realm swordsmanship and magical powers. Do you know how many people in the academy are paying attention to him now? And this is why your second brother gave that thing to Duan Hong The reason for this is that he is trying to please your nephew! In the two realms of war, he killed nearly a hundred Cangling martial arts cultivators below the fourth level. The battle at Tongyou Peak, the battle against the beast tide, the battle at the Coral Forest Mysterious Realm, In the battle of the destruction of Siling Mountain, he had a brilliant performance, even as a victor. Not to mention how many benefits he gained for the family during this period, and you are one of the important people who enjoyed these benefits! Changjie In the battle, he single-handedly defeated the elite disciples of the four major academies. In the battle at the martial arts arena not long ago, he stood out again, defeating four third-level warriors carefully trained by the four major academies in the melee. He was not even eighteen years old. Years old, and you are almost thirty years old. Tell me, are you worthy to compare with him..."
Shang Ke's people had already left long ago, but his words echoed in Shang Yang's ears like a lingering sound.
At this moment, a crisp sound like the chiming of gold and iron spread almost throughout the entire Shang Mansion. A red heat wave rose into the sky from the closed courtyard, as if a sunset had spread over the Shang Mansion. .
"It's done, it's done!"
Duan Hong's strange laughter, almost like a night owl, came from the small courtyard.
Outside the iron gate of the small courtyard, Shang Yangzheng left in a hurry without looking back.
When Duan Hong's almost crazy laughter came from behind, his steps to leave seemed to become more urgent.
…………
Chiba Mountains.
A soft whistle came from the forest, and a wooden arrow accurately hit a grouse flying in the air.
But then the grouse exploded in the air, and a ray of true energy contained in the wooden arrow tore it into pieces.
When Shang Xia came holding an iron bow and stepping on more than a foot of snow, there were still a few down feathers falling slowly in the air.
"I have some accuracy. In fact, if I use my martial arts will to lock the Qi machine, the accuracy is not much different. Besides, the target is only a grouse?"
Shang Xia shook his head with a wry smile. He knew very well that if he used the bow in his hand to respond to the enemy, the opponent would probably easily get rid of his Qi lock.
After all, from the time he ended his seclusion to the present, this iron-tied bow, which was as good as a low-grade weapon, had only been in his hands for three or four days.
In this deep mountain and dense forest, although Shang Xia could distinguish the direction, he did not know the specific location where he was.
However, Shang Xia himself also knew that the Qianye Mountains, which ran east to west, were the dividing line between Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou.
As long as he goes north, as long as he leaves the mountains, he will definitely reach the boundary of Youzhou.
Raising his head to roughly determine the direction, Shang Xia casually put the iron tire bow into the Jinyun Box, and then with a little help on the snow, he took off into the air, gliding forward for dozens of feet in mid-air. Then he slowly fell into the forest again.
Generally speaking, warriors need to advance to the martial evil realm and possess the natal spiritual evil before they can fly on their own in the sky.
But in fact, when warriors are in the martial arts realm, they can actually glide through the air in a short period of time through the influence of martial arts will on the vitality of heaven and earth. The only difference is the distance.
When Shang Xia retreated in the mountains this time, he discovered that after advancing to the second level of the third level, his martial arts will can almost be completely integrated with the vitality of heaven and earth, so that when he performs light body movements, he can rely on the vitality of heaven and earth. A short distance flight.
Shang Xia has tried several times before. On relatively flat ground, he can glide over a maximum distance of nearly a hundred feet. If he uses the mountainous terrain, he can even fly nearly two hundred feet in mid-air in one breath.
Of course, Shang Xia felt that he could actually fly farther in the sky, but he could vaguely feel that if his martial arts will was integrated with the vitality of heaven and earth for a long time, he would most likely get lost in the vastness. In the vast world, it may be difficult to return to oneself.
In this way, Shang Xia walked for three days and two nights in the snow-covered Chiba Mountains. On the evening of the third day, he walked out of the Chiba Mountains. With the afterglow of the setting sun, he could see more than ten miles away. , a male city located outside a valley pass.
"I have arrived at Changmaple City!"
Shang Xia was a little stunned.
As far as he knows, in this corner of Youzhou, although there are many settlements, there are only two that can be called "cities". One is located at the only entrance to the two realms of war. There is another city in Tongyou City called Changfeng City, which is located outside the pass across the Qianye Mountains and the two states of You and Ji.
