Vol 2 Chapter 26.2 (2/2)

Although Ting Liferay’s age was quite high, he was not lacking in the energy department. He chatted about anything and everything with He Yiming, telling him various sorts of interesting tales about northwestern countries.

He Yiming then came to know that this old man had apparently travelled the whole world. He’d basically travelled every country in the northwest, even once making a trip to the faraway Grand Extension country, which was called the country of ten thousand countries.

Due to this, the old man’s knowledge was profound, provoking extreme yearning in He Yiming.

The topic once again returned back to Fire Crow country. Ting Liferay suddenly sighed and said, “Unfortunate.”

He Yiming faintly started and said, “What’s unfortunate?”

“This old man previously thought that it was that child Xu Zhien from the Xu family who has cleared the bottleneck,” Ting Liferay said while incessantly sighing.

He Yiming’s eyes immediately opened wide and face twitched.

In this old man’s eyes, that white-haired Xie Zhien has actually become a child. As He Yiming recalled Xie Zhien’s appearance, he suddenly felt like laughing and crying at the same time.

This child would probably be one of its kind in the world.

Ting Liferay shook his head and said, “For brother to step into Xiantian realm is obviously a joyous occasion. However, as far as our Fire Crow country is concerned, Xie Zhien entering the Xiantian realm would have been quite fortunate.”

He Yiming, although somewhat dissatisfied inwardly, understood the meaning behind these words.

Ting Liferay suddenly changed the topic, “Brother He, since you’ve broken through in my Fire Crow country, you and this country have karma between you. I wish to offer you a present. Please, don’t decline.”

After saying these words, he pushed his hands into his robe and took out an old-looking, black stone.

He Yiming observed the stone, but was unable to guess its ident.i.ty.

Ting Liferay looked at this stone. Momentarily, his eyes seemed as if he couldn’t bear to part with this stone. However, it was only for a moment before he directly presented the gift before He Yiming.

“This is my humble gift, please don’t decline.”

He Yiming didn’t know what this thing was, but even an idiot can tell that this stone was extremely precious. Otherwise, Ting Liferay wouldn’t have treasured it so much.

Hesitating a bit, He Yiming said, “Master Ting, it is said that don’t accept the reward you don’t deserve. I don’t dare accept this thing.”

Ting Liferay lightly laughed and said, “Brother He, this old man has no other intentions except for friends.h.i.+p. Is that not enough?” He slightly caressed the stone as he continued, “This is a chunk of Magnetic Steel Source I found in my former day while travelling the world. Although it’s not some extremely precious artifact, it is one of the metals that can sustain True Qi. Brother He, if you forge some weapon, you can merge the two without any worries at all.”

He Yiming cried out in surprise before asking, “Master Ting, could it be that ordinary weapons can’t sustain Xiantian’s True Qi?”

Ting Brightray coa.r.s.ely laughed before saying, “How powerful is Xiantain’s True Qi? So, how can ordinary weapons sustain it?”

Cold sweat seeped out of He Yiming’s clothes. His heart only had one thought that he’d fortunately left the broadsword in the Xie Residence. Otherwise, if he’d infused it with True Qi, it would have been destroyed.

After thinking for a bit, He Yiming eventually picked up the stone and said, “I will no longer decline Master Ting’s kindness. If there’s something I can do for Master Ting, I will certainly spare no effort.”

Ting Liferay nodded while beaming with smiles. He was quite pleased with He Yiming’s att.i.tude. Subsequently, he gravely explained the use of this stone and properties. What made He Yiming astonished was that this object’s use was quite simple. One only needed to melt it in liquid form, then place the weapon inside. The weapon will automatically absorb it.

He Yiming had never heard about such a wondrous metal before. However, looking at this fist-sized metal, he felt rather awkward inwardly.

Would this bit of Magnetic Steel Source be able to transform his entire broadsword?

As soon as he thought about the length of his broadsword, he didn’t feel positive in the slightest.
