Chapter 8: The Refinement of the Blood Saber. (2/2)

Tie Shou treated Qin Yu’s stay very seriously, personally arranging his board and lodging. After neatly arranging everything, he hurried to Wang Murong’s room.

Inside the sumptuous room, Wang Murong stood in front of the window, staring at the wooden villa’s guest room where Qin Yu’s was staying.

Right now, her heart was very flustered. The shock that Qin Yu gave her today was too much. She was very curious and interested in him, far more than Qin Yu’s interest in her.

*Knock* *Knock*

At this moment, soft knocks rang at the door.

“Come in.” Wang Murong closed the window before she turned around.

Tie Shou pushed open the door and cautiously closed it behind him before walking forward. He bowed deeply before saying, “Princess.”

“This place isn’t King City, so there’s no need to be so courteous,” said Wang Murong indifferently. “Tell me what you think about Qin Yu.”

Although her tone was very flat, it still exposed a faint imperial pressure.

Tie Shou was clear that even though the one in front of him was quite young, she had lived through a power struggle her whole life and as a result, she matured many times faster than others her age.

Facing her, Tie Shou didn’t dare to show even the slightest neglect. He also didn’t dare to flatter or exploit her as he hastily bowed. “Replying to Princess, to tell the truth, this useless old man also finds him impossible to understand. My head is filled with doubts. Wasn’t Qin Yu said to have been turned into a cripple? If so, how did he…just how…?” Tie Shou hit his head as he spoke. His brain turned into mush because of Qin Yu.

Wang Murong’s beautiful features frowned slightly as she questioned, “Is it possible the Qin Family deliberately released false information and is plotting something?”

Tie Shou thought hard and shook his head. “It can’t be. All of Qin Yu’s twelve meridians were crippled. This was Old Chen’s personal diagnosis. Princess already knows about Old Chen and this useless old man’s relationship. He could trick anybody but he would never trick me.”

“Then how do you explain what just happened? His cultivation is enough to fight you, an Immersion Realm cultivator. Could it be that during this short time period somebody had healed his meridians?”

“That’s absolutely impossible! All twelve meridians were crippled! Unless an immortal descended, no man could save him. With disregard to Luosang City, even if you scoured Qiong Xi Country or even the entire Ancient Wu Continent, you still wouldn’t be able to find one!” Tie Shou’s voice was firm as he denied the possibility. “Even if somebody somehow managed to heal his meridians, Qin Yu would have to recultivate all over again. There is no way that he could’ve become so strong in just a few months!”

Although Wang Murong was an Immersion Realm expert, Tie Shou knew the foundation behind it. It didn’t matter how Qin Yu restored all twelve meridians or how he re-established his crippled cultivation because they were both impossible. Since it was impossible, how could Qin Yu’s cultivation be explained? Furthermore, there was an even more difficult question: How did he know tool refinement?

“Old Tie, let’s not talk about his cultivation for now. You’re an expert tool refiner and Qin Yu also knows how to refine tools. This is something you should know about, right?”

It would’ve been better to have not asked this. Tie Shou immediately frowned when he heard her question. His old face turned bitter as he said, “Princess, this useless old man really doesn’t know. For generations, nobody in the Qin Family understood tool refinement ah. Otherwise, in Luosang City, it wouldn’t be this useless old man with such a highly regarded position right now. But, but how did Qin Yu, that youngster know stuff about tool refining? Furthermore, from this useless old man’s observations, his tool refinement level is probably at the Tool Refiner Scholar stage or even higher. This useless old man wouldn’t dare say I’m nearly as skilled ah.” After finishing, Tie Shou released a heartfelt sigh.

The number of geniuses in the world wasn’t small, but this kind of genius who was talented in both cultivating and tool refinement was rare even if you scoured through both the heavens and earth. Today he had personally witnessed it. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t believe there could be a genius in both cultivating and tool refinement even if they beat him to death. Nobody knew better than him how difficult it was to become a Tool Refiner Master and how much one needed to invest in it. People studying tool refinement simply had no time or energy to also cultivate.

“I’ve also never heard about Qin Yu knowing how to refine tools back then either. No, I have to figure this out. Otherwise, I’ll go mad!” After that, Tie Shou started muttering to himself in an almost deranged manner.

Wang Murong saw how Tie Shou knew almost nothing and could only wave her hand helplessly. “How about this then. Tomorrow, send people to investigate the Qin Family and see what secrets they’re hiding.”

“En.” Tie Shou nodded firmly. “Princess, rest at ease. Tomorrow, this useless old man will personally take a group of able men to investigate. I swear I won’t give up until I figure it out!”

He didn’t care about how Qin Yu managed to heal his meridians or restore his cultivation, but rather, how Qin Yu could refine tools. His grand title of being Luosang City’s sole Tool Refiner Master now only existed in name, but not in reality. He needed to fully understand how this happened, otherwise, he would never be able to eat or sleep in peace!
