Chapter 043 – Sea of Purple Grass

Behind the Cross Door was a vast patch of purple grassland.

Beneath one’s feet, there was purple growing everywhere, and as one looked into the distance, it seemed like a sea of purple, and there was no end in sight. Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li opened their mouths in shock, as they took in the sight.

“Wa wa wa! It’s too beautiful!” Ah Mo Li could not believe his eyes, as he stared dumbly at the sea of grass in front of him.

“It truly is too amazing!” Tang Tian had an expression of shock as well.

Old Fart Wei was the first to recover his senses, as he immediately plucked a stalk of grass. From some unknown time ago, he had a small cylinder in his hand and used it to scan the grass, before he heaved a sigh of relief and commented: “It’s not poisonous.”

“What’s that?” Tang Tian pointed to the small cylinder in Old Fart Wei’s hands.

“[True Eye Cylinder], it is an Iron Rank Star Treasure that belongs to the Microscopium Constellation.” Said Old Fart Wei as he handed the cylinder over to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian received it, the moment it landed in his hands, it felt heavy and there was a small piece of glass within it. Tang Tian mimicked Old Fart Wei’s actions and plucked the purple grass as he placed it inside, only to discover that there were words appearing on the glass shard.

“Purple Cloud Grass, non-poisonous, uses: unknown.”

“Wa wa wa! This item is incredible!” Tang Tian exclaimed in surprise.

“Let me see, let me see!” Ah Mo Li reached out to snatch it away.

“This is, after all, a Star Treasure!” Old Fart Wei had a stern expression: “It’s a war trophy from when I was younger. How is it, pretty impressive right? Oh yes, the Fornax black metal weapons, although they aren’t Star Treasures, if you use them right, they can be pretty powerful.”

Both of them immediately pricked their ears.

“The Fornax is a pretty strange constellation, and it’s the only constellation without any Star Treasures. The Fornax people are well-versed in forging, and they use a special mineral of the Fornax Constellation called ‘Fornax Fragments’ to add into their smelting, obtaining a unique set of weapons.” Old Fart Wei started explaining: “Therefore, the Fornax weapons are pretty similar to Star Treasures. Try injecting some of your qi into your weapons, then summon them.”

“Sounds a little silly…..” Tang Tian pouted, but he still tried injecting his qi into his metal gloves, as he raised his head: “How do we summon them?”

“Eh, this, I’m not too sure.” Old Fart Wei responded with a look of unreliability.

Tang Tian: “…….”

Just when Tang Tian felt that Old Fart Wei must have been bullshitting him, he felt a small sense of connection with his metal gloves, could it be that Old Fart Wei wasn’t joking?

Tang Tian tried summoning it, as he went along with his gut feeling, calling out lightly: “Fornax.”

Hu!

Bright red flames suddenly appeared from the gloves, and Tang Tian’s gloves were wrapped in the bright red flame, however, Tang Tian did not feel the heat, instead the purple grass beneath him started to dry up as they lost their moisture.

Tang Tian stared dumbly at his metal gloves engulfed in flames.

He truly is befitting of his namesake……

Old Fart Wei’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Ah Mo Li looked and tried to copy Tang Tian, as he called out the same phrase towards his iron blade: “Fornax.”

Hu, flames erupted from the blade, and Ah Mo Li looked as though he was holding a flaming blade, his face full of curiosity: “Oh wow! How powerful!”

These 2 rascals…..

Old Fart Wei’s eyebrows twitched.

He coughed lightly: “This is called the Black Metal Flame, the special attribute of all Fornax weapons, however, not many people know about it. In the future, you guys will come across various weapons, mysterious treasures, and you must remember: Only after obtaining their approval, will you be able to access and exhibit their true strength. In the past, I was worried you guys might rely too much on its power, but now….”

Old Fart Wei lifted his head as he surveyed the vast land of purple grass, before saying deeply: “You guys must be careful.”

Throughout the vast plain, there were the vague outlines of various other people, some possessed incredible light body arts, as only black dots could be seen.

“Should we hurry?” Ah Mo Li also looked up to observe.

“Hurry? You must remember, in a foreign place, you must definitely not rush ahead blindly.” Old Fart Wei had a very wise look, as he looked to the skies: “The time difference between here and Star Wind City must be about 7 hours. It should be dark soon, let us find a safe place to camp for the night.”

They saw Old Fart Wei suddenly performing some sort of magic, and in his hands, a small and pretty mini boat appeared. The boat was not even the size of his palm, but it was exquisite, and every detail clear, its sail the most striking. Old Fart Wei channeled some qi into the boat, and they saw that the sail started moving about, before pointing towards a direction.

“[Water Seeking Sail], Vela Constellation’s Iron Rank Star Treasure.” Old Fart Wei continued explaining: “It only has one function, which is to look for water sources. The distance should be within 200 li.”

Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li were totally captivated by the different treasures that Old Fart Wei brought out.

Old Fart Wei put away his Water Seeking Sail, and walked in front: “As an old-bird, let me teach you two newbies. Sometimes, even the most simple and humble-looking low-grade treasures could actually save your lives.”

“You damn Tyrant! You actually lied to us about your poverty!” Tang Tian’s face was black.

Ah Mo Li brandished his black metal blade, as his killing intent soared: “You actually used a silver card to trick me here……”

“Uh….” Old Fart Wei seemed to have realize that his gimmick was up, as he coughed and laughed: “Actually, I specially borrowed this item from a friend, haha…….”

“Go to hell!…..”
