After watching Fan Yu and the disciples of the Burning Flame Clan leave, Cheng Lei breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow is the start of the martial arts competition. It would be unwise to fight with the people of the Burning Flame Clan now. It would consume the power of the Black Water Sect. Fan Yu also had such scruples before leaving. Yang Ming turned to Cheng Lei and said, "Brother Cheng, how are you now?"
Cheng Lei understood that Yang Ming was not asking him if his injury was healed. The injury would be healed in half a month, so Yang Ming asked him if he had a breakthrough. He smiled and answered Yang Ming: "I was lucky enough to break through to the green field a few days ago." Soul, after a few days of consolidation, the current state is the primary level of Green Soul, otherwise there will be little point in participating in this martial arts tournament. What about you, Yang Ming?"
Yang Ming also replied: "I broke through to the Yellow Soul Demon Warrior after you left, and I am now an intermediate Yellow Soul."
After hearing this, Cheng Lei smiled and said: "That's great. With your current strength, it won't be difficult to break into the top twenty. If you are lucky, you will also be in the top ten."
A Black Water Sect disciple on the side heard the two talking, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Cheng Lei, listen to what you said, your friend is not simple in strength."
When Yang Ming heard someone interrupting, he looked over and saw a young man who was taller than Cheng Lei with his arms folded and looking up and down at Yang Ming. His eyes were curious but not contemptuous. Yang Ming cast a questioning look at Cheng Lei. .
Cheng Lei understood the idea and introduced Yang Ming: "Yang Ming is the leader of our Blackwater Sect in this martial arts tournament, Liang Tianhao. In addition to this identity, he is also Liang Xiner's brother." Then he introduced Yang Ming to Liang Tianhao: "Tianhao Senior brother, this is the Yang Ming that Junior Sister Xin'er and I mentioned to you before, his strength should not be underestimated."
After hearing Cheng Lei's introduction, Liang Tianhao and Yang Ming cast curious glances at each other. The former said, "This brother is Yang Ming, who is highly respected by Xin'er. I heard that Xin'er said that you saved her and Cheng Lei. Otherwise, the three-man team will be wiped out."
Yang Ming didn't know that Cheng Lei and Liang Xiner would praise him so much, so he said sheepishly: "They exaggerated. I just helped them when they were in danger."
Liang Tianhao just smiled and took Yang Ming's words as a sign of humility. He knew that when Cheng Lei was still Huang Hun, he was ranked first among the disciples of the same realm in the Black Water Sect. Cheng Lei could defeat Yang. Ming's strength is said to be still higher than his own, which proves that Yang Ming does have extraordinary strength. He patted Yang Ming on the shoulder, and then said to Cheng Lei: "Cheng Lei, please greet brother Yang Ming for me. I have to go to discuss matters related to the martial arts tournament with my master. I can't stay to greet brother Yang Ming." Then he left with all the Black Water Sect disciples.
Cheng Lei agreed, and after watching Liang Tianhao leave the restaurant, he said to Yang Ming: "Senior Brother Tianhao is strong, but he is not arrogant. He is usually very good to other disciples."
Yang Ming also felt the same way. He changed the topic and asked Cheng Lei: "Brother Cheng, does your Black Water Sect have any information about the contestants participating in this martial arts tournament?"
When Cheng Lei heard Yang Ming asking about business, his expression became serious and he said: "According to the information collected by our Black Water Sect, there are about thirty Green Soul Demon warriors in this martial arts competition, and there are five people in Shuiyue City Auction House. There are four people in the City Lord's Mansion, our Black Water Sect and Burning Flame Sect both have four people, there are three people from the Megalithic Sect, and there are about ten people including the Green Soul Demon warriors who are not from these five factions." Cheng Lei told him all the information he knew. Yang Ming.
Yang Ming thought for a moment and then asked Cheng Lei: "How strong are these thirty green soul demon warriors?"
"Among these thirty people, there are only seven worth noting. They are Fan Yu from the Burning Flame Sect, Chen Jianyu from the City Lord's Mansion, a pair of twins from the Shuiyue City Auction House, Ling Yan and Ling Yu, Shi Long from the Great Stone Sect, and Heishui Liang Tianhao of the sect and Zhao Zhenhui, a casual cultivator, are all at the intermediate level of Green Soul. Fan Yu, Chen Jianyu and Brother Tianhao are at the peak of the Intermediate Green Soul level and will break through to the peak of Green Soul at any time. These three people They are the favorites to win this martial arts competition. Apart from these three people, the twin sisters from the auction house can't lose to them three together." Cheng Lei did not include Yang Ming, because Yang Ming's superficial realm was only Huang Hun. Intermediate, but its true strength is estimated to be inferior to that of Yang Ming even if the Green Soul is an intermediate.
Yang Ming asked again about the rules of the martial arts tournament, but Cheng Lei told Yang Ming that he didn't know. The organizer, Shuiyue City Auction House, only announced the rules on the day of the martial arts tournament. After Yang Ming got the news, he thanked Cheng Lei and left the restaurant. He was going to prepare some things, such as finding someone to string his bow.
Before leaving, Yang Ming asked Cheng Lei where he could forge magic weapons. Cheng Lei told Yang Ming that ordinary magic weapon shops only sell sales and do not repair or forge. Only blacksmiths can forge and repair, and he didn't know him either. Blacksmith, but there is a place where you can meet a blacksmith with a high probability, and that is Shuiyue Fenghua Building. To put it bluntly, it is a romantic place.
Yang Ming walked towards Shuiyue Fenghua Building. Seeing the people around him looking at him with strange eyes, Yang Ming blushed and lowered his head and quickened his pace. Finally, Yang Ming came to an attic with green bricks, red tiles, and colorful ribbons flying. A waiter at the door saw Yang Ming stop and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "This little handsome guy, this is your first time." Come to play? Is there a girl you like?"
Yang Ming raised his head, looked at the boy in front of him, and said, "I'm here to find someone. I wonder if Master Shan Liwen is inside?"
"Master Shan Liwen? You're talking about Old Dantou, right? He hasn't come here yet today. Just wait, he will come soon," the boy said. As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with messy hair walked to the door of Shuiyue Fenghua Building and prepared to go in. The waiter immediately stopped him: "Hey, old boss, don't go in yet, this guy is looking for you."
Old Dan turned his head and looked over. Yang Ming immediately walked up to him, raised his hands and clasped his fists, and said respectfully: "Master Shan Liwen, I'm Yang Ming. I heard that you are a magic weapon forger. Can you help me repair a magic weapon?" .”
Shan Liwen did not look at Yang Ming, walked into Shuiyue Fenghua Building, raised his hand, shook it and said: "Go back, I haven't forged magic weapons for many years, you should find someone else."
Yang Ming was not surprised. Cheng Lei told him that Shan Liwen had a weird temper and rarely agreed to other people's forging requests. He didn't want money. A wealthy businessman once offered him a high price to build a magic weapon, but Shan Liwen still refused. Yes, it proves that he doesn't want money.
Yang Ming didn't know how to get Shan Liwen to take action. He took out the bow embryo and called to Shan Liwen like a bet: "Master Shan, please take a look at this bow embryo to see if it is worth repairing."
Shan Liwen turned his head and glanced at the bow embryo in Yang Ming's hand. He could no longer take his eyes away from the bow embryo. He walked quickly to Yang Ming, stroked the bow embryo with both hands, his breathing gradually became heavier, and he asked urgently. Yang Ming: "Boy, where did you get this bow embryo?"
Seeing the change in Shan Liwen's attitude, Yang Ming immediately pursued the victory and said politely: "Master Shan, this is the magic weapon bow embryo that I accidentally obtained. Seeing that the material is of high quality, I want to find someone to complete it and make it my weapon."
Shan Liwen immediately retorted to Yang Ming: "You're talking nonsense." Then he remembered something and hurriedly took Yang Ming's hand and left Shuiyue Fenghua Building. Yang Ming didn't know why Shan Liwen could see through his lies, so he could only let Shan Liwen stand aside. Pulling himself along, he looked around.
Yang Ming was pulled into an inconspicuous bungalow by him. Shan Liwen finally let go of Yang Ming's hand, looked at Yang Ming emotionally and said, "Boy, I hope you can truthfully tell me the origin of this bow embryo. This bow embryo The origins of are very important to me.”
Yang Ming was startled by Shan Liwen's serious expression and did not dare to hide it anymore: "Master Shan, I won't hide it anymore. This is a relic left by Wang Qikang hundreds of years ago."
"Sure enough, it's him, I finally found it, hahaha..." Shan Liwen suddenly laughed like crazy. When Yang Ming saw this, he thought to himself: Is there any relationship between Shan Liwen and Wang Qikang? Otherwise, why would he laugh like this when he heard that it was Wang Qikang's relic.
Shan Liwen laughed for more than half an hour, and his expression gradually returned to normal. He held Yang Ming's arm and said, "My name is Yang Ming, right? Where did you find this bow embryo? Please tell me quickly."
Yang Ming thought for a moment and asked Shan Liwen warily: "Unless you swear, you can't hurt me or anyone related to this bow embryo after I tell you."
Shan Liwen swore on the spot: "Okay, I swear, if I, Shan Liwen, know the origin of Gong Fei and do anything to hurt Yang Ming and the latter harms people related to Gong Fei, I will be struck by lightning and die a bad death."
When Yang Ming saw Shan Liwen's oath, he said truthfully: "This bow is a return gift from the head of Huangjia Village, which is only half a day's journey from Shuiyue City."
"Huangjia Village, it turns out that it is in Huangjia Village. I finally found the bloodline of my ancestors." Shan Liwen murmured to himself.
Half a moment later, Shan Liwen said to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, boy, you brought me such a huge gift. The reason why I can tell at a glance that it was made by Wang Qikang is because of the forging techniques I learned. It's exactly the same, let me explain it to you. More than five hundred years ago, my ancestor was talented in blacksmithing and was spotted by Wang Qikang's daughter. He also fell in love with Wang Qikang's daughter, but if he wanted to truly get in touch with Wang Qikang's true heritage, he had to get married. The Wang family, becoming the son-in-law of the Wang family, makes it possible for Wang Qikang to teach the true biography. Just ten years after my ancestor married into the Wang family, the Wang family encountered a disaster. The entire Wang family was poisoned, and only a few people could escape. My ancestor It was one of them. At that time, my ancestor had only learned half of Wang Qikang's craftsmanship and was separated from Wang Qikang during his escape. My ancestor took his wife and relied on this half of his craftsmanship to become a blacksmith master. However, his wife became a blacksmith master after he became a blacksmith master. He passed away. My ancestor always had the belief that he would find Wang Qikang and be filial to his wife, so he set a family motto to ask future generations to find Wang Qikang, even if they are descendants."
After Yang Ming heard this, he said: "This bow embryo is the only relic left by Wang Qikang after his escape. He died of serious injuries before the forging was completed."
Shan Liwen felt regretful after hearing this. He had worked hard for so many years to complete the family training and bring back Wang Qikang's inheritance. Now that no one has found the inheritance, it is gone. This makes him sad.
