The leader of the Four Great Kings, He Xunji, resolutely left Wuwei Academy and made the Four Seas his home, no longer concerning himself with the affairs of the martial world.
Xu Feng did not make things difficult for the Three Types; Soul Chaser and Medium left the Liuxiang Kingdom, covered in dirt and looking half-dead, along with the Broken Backer.
Just as the Three Types departed, a beam of sword light flew from the sky. Xu Feng reached out and caught what turned out to be a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact.
He Xunji's voice echoed from afar: "This is the Zhui Ri Jian that I used in my early years; I'll leave it to you. There will no longer be a Gambling King in this world, nor will there be a He Xunji."
He Xunji actually possessed two Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts, while Xu Feng had none at all. Compared to He Xunji, he felt truly lacking, truly a Spirit Root Plate. No wonder he was the leader of the Four Great Kings.
Xu Feng flew back to Bailu Mountain Square, where his disciples looked at him as if he were a deity.
Xu Feng handed the Zhui Ri Jian to Gao Jingsong and said, "When Yi Jiuzhou finishes his closed-door training, give this Zhui Ri Jian to him."
Gao Jingsong took the Zhui Ri Jian, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. A Medium-Grade Dao Artifact—what a joke!
Lin Fangxin asked, "Group Leader, are you going out again?"
Xu Feng replied, "Yes, I'm heading to Zheguo. After this battle, Wuwei Academy won't disturb Liuxiang Kingdom for a while. We still need to be prepared for any unforeseen events. Han Lei, set up more formations around Bailu Mountain as a precaution."
Gao Jingsong asked, "When will Group Leader return?" Xu Feng often went out for hundreds of years at a time, leaving Koukou Group feeling uneasy.
"As soon as one month if all goes well; at most six months."
With that, he bid farewell to everyone in Koukou Group and directly teleported from Bailu Mountain to Xibai City.
Soon after, news of Xu Feng defeating He Xunji spread like wildfire in Zheguo. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Feng disguised himself as an ordinary cultivator and appeared at Wujue Pavilion.
"What treasures do you need, fellow Daoist?"
"I need to see your leader to discuss something."
Xu Feng quickly met with Tao Bao. After exchanging a few words, the two left the city and returned to the Golden Stone Workshop.
On the way, Tao Bao sighed, "Group Leader, you are truly admirable. I heard you defeated Gambling King He Xunji yesterday. That's an impressive achievement! Even if you walk around in your true form now, Wuwei Academy wouldn't dare to confront you openly."
The only ones who could defeat He Xunji were the Three Statues and the academy's head, Su Ji, along with three Transcendence Stage Experts who hadn't shown themselves for thousands of years. None of them would act lightly.
Xu Feng replied, "I have already made it clear to Wuwei Academy that as long as they don't trouble me, I won't make things difficult for them."
Tao Bao smiled lightly; such strength as a backing meant that not causing trouble was a sign of equal standing.
A nameless sect from Liuxiang Kingdom actually dared to stand on equal footing with Wuwei Academy!
Due to Xu Feng's sudden rise, Koukou Group also gained fame overnight.
Soon, they arrived at Golden Stone Workshop, where Yan Lu and Meng Hui welcomed Xu Feng together.
This time, Tao Bao was exceptionally allowed to stay by the side. After nearly a thousand years at Golden Stone Workshop, Tao Bao finally earned the trust of the higher-ups and became a core figure in the workshop.
Yan Lu, an old acquaintance who hadn't been seen for a hundred years, unexpectedly advanced to Great Perfection Stage. His Refining Tool skills had also improved further. Upon seeing Xu Feng arrive, he wore a cheerful smile.
Meng Hui, however, directly thanked Xu Feng. The workshop was well aware of Xu Feng being injured by He Xunji in Death Marsh. Given the circumstances at that time, they quickly understood the underlying scheme; if that blow from He Xunji had landed on Meng Hui instead, there would be no Meng Hui today.
Meng Hui took out a long brocade box and handed it to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng couldn't help but swallow. Would they really give me a Dao Artifact? That would be too much.
As expected, Meng Hui said, "You helped me block a strike, which saved my life. The Golden Stone Workshop may not have much, but we can certainly offer a Dao Artifact. This Medium-Grade Dao Artifact, the Falling Sunset Blade, is just a token of appreciation."
A Medium-Grade Dao Artifact!
Xu Feng said, "We've known each other for so long..." He had already reached out to take it, fearing that Meng Hui might take it back.
The brocade box opened, and radiant light spilled out like the setting sun.
"Thank you, Meng Dao Friend."
Xu Feng was now at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement and could be considered an equal to Meng Hui, which made Meng Hui feel somewhat uncomfortable. This was someone he had once guided in the Shadow Step technique, and now Xu Feng had the strength to defeat He Xunji. Meng Hui felt he could not compare.
Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts were incredibly rare. Xu Feng felt his hands tremble as he held it and took out a ring filled with over a hundred million spirit stones. He said, "Gold is easy to come by, but Dao Artifacts are hard to find. This Falling Sunset Blade is too precious; no matter how you see it, please accept this spirit stone as a token."
Low-Grade Dao Artifacts were already rare treasures; Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts were even harder to come by. Among the Four Great Kings of Wuwei Academy, only Gambling King He Xunji possessed a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact.
Meng Hui did not make Xu Feng feel awkward and smiled as he accepted the ring filled with spirit stones.
Yan Lu said, "Xu Feng, you don't need to feel uneasy. We have already retrieved the body of No Absolute Master from the Arctic Snowfield and discovered new methods for Refining Tools from the ancestor's ring. Now it's much easier to refine Dao Artifacts than before. While we can't produce Superior Dao Instruments, we have quite a few Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts. You’ve helped us immensely; it’s only natural for us to gift you a Dao Artifact."
In fact, the Divine Separation Peak cultivators of Golden Stone Workshop could equip themselves with Low-Grade Dao Artifacts, while those above the Great Perfection Stage all had Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts. If this news got out, other sects would be envious beyond measure.
Then Yan Lu took out an item that solidly confirmed his words.
A Spatial Ring.
Yan Lu handed the ring to Xu Feng and said, "Inside is the Flying Sword you wanted, along with two Dao Artifacts."
A hundred years ago, Xu Feng had feigned madness to infiltrate Wujue Pavilion, handing over the Snake Corpse of the Serpent Beauty to Tao Bao, requesting that the scales of the Serpent Beauty be refined into a Flying Sword.
The scales of the Serpent Man were so powerful that even Xu Feng's Butcher's Blade could not cut through them when enhanced with spiritual energy. If refined into a Flying Sword, their sharpness could be imagined.
The Serpent Man was thirty to forty zhang long, with thousands of scales. Xu Feng understood that this was a significant undertaking, which is why he waited over a hundred years to retrieve it. During this time, he wondered how many Flying Swords Yan Lu had crafted.
Upon entering the ring's space, it was filled with countless Flying Swords, each one more powerful than a Supreme Treasure, being top-tier items. Compared to Dao Artifacts, they were only slightly inferior; as long as one had sufficient strength, they could be used as Dao Artifacts.
The swords were two feet long and one inch wide, with silver-gray blades entirely made from snake scales. They were slightly shorter than the previous forty Flying Swords but possessed ten times their power.
Two hundred Supreme Treasure Swords! What a significant investment!
After the battle at Jumping Fish Island, Xu Feng's Sword Formation became widely known. Yan Lu had previously crafted forty for Xu Feng, initially believing they were for the disciples of Koukou Group. Later, it became clear that Xu Feng was the swordsman who had slain Silverbeard; all the Flying Swords were used in his Sword Formation. No wonder he prioritized power over decoration.
Xu Feng left the Snake Corpse and requested sword refinement; Yan Lu naturally knew what kind of sword was needed and thus crafted two hundred in one go for Xu Feng to use as he wished.
Little did Yan Lu realize that Xu Feng practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation. While two hundred seemed like a lot, it was not significant in Xu Feng's eyes; he could now control one hundred fifty Flying Swords.
Xu Feng felt a surge of confidence. With these two hundred Flying Swords, the Three Statues of Wuwei Academy were no longer a concern. Even if a Transcending Tribulation Stage Cultivator emerged, he would still have the strength to fight back.
Even if Wuwei Academy destroyed Koukou Group, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses themselves. With enemies on all sides and weakened strength, they could be vulnerable to attacks.
Xu Feng did not expect Yan Lu to produce two hundred swords; he would have been satisfied with just one hundred.
These two hundred Flying Swords elevated Xu Feng's strength to a new level.
On the Treasure Rack, there lay a sword and a bow.
The sword had a peculiar shape, curved like a snake, and was a Low-Grade Dao Artifact of the Water Element, while the bow was a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact.
Another Medium-Grade Dao Artifact!
The sword already belonged to Xu Fengxin, specifically to Gao Jingsong. Among the three Vice Leaders, he was the only one without a Dao Artifact, and this sword was also of the Water Element, matching his attribute.
Xu Feng's purpose for coming out this time was not only to retrieve the Flying Sword but also for Gao Jingsong.
With a Purple Bow Grip and Silver Bowstring, Xu Feng took out the bow, which had two characters engraved on its back: Golden Snake.
Yan Lu said, "This sword is made from scales and is named Spirit Snake Sword Technique. The bow's back is crafted from snake bones, and the bowstring is made from snake tendons, hence it is called Golden Snake."
Golden Snake Bow!
Xu Feng's Golden Law Bow was already sufficient to kill those at the Early Stage of Great Achievement. Now with this Medium-Grade Golden Snake Bow, even characters like Gun King would fall to a single arrow.
Having advanced to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, the Four Great Kings of Wuwei Academy were no longer significant in Xu Feng's eyes.
Receiving Dao Artifacts from Golden Stone Workshop felt like receiving toys; one could only wonder what level their Refining Tool skills had reached. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to give away Dao Artifacts so freely.
This was a secret of Golden Stone Workshop, and Xu Feng certainly wouldn't inquire about it.
Yan Lu continued, "The Snake Corpse you sent has nearly ten thousand scales. I've only used half so far; I am also refining another piece of Serpent Scale Armor, which may take over a hundred years. You can come back for it later."
Xu Feng was already so moved that he didn't know what to say.
You provided the materials, but you also need to pay for the processing fees. Refining a Dao Artifact, especially a custom one, would cost a fortune. Xu Feng might not even be able to afford it if he sold the Koukou Group.
After spending ten days at the Golden Stone Workshop, refining the Falling Sunset Blade, Golden Snake Bow, and one hundred fifty Flying Swords, Xu Feng's refining speed was not typically this fast. However, the Exotic Eye had a keen interest in Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts. With the characteristics of Spirit Weapons, it helped Xu Feng refine the Falling Sunset Blade and Golden Snake Bow. Xu Feng himself only refined the one hundred fifty Flying Swords, while the remaining fifty Flying Swords were temporarily stored for later use.
With two Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts in hand, Xu Feng's strength advanced further, and fewer people could pose a threat to him in Zheguo.
When leaving the Golden Stone Workshop, Xu Feng returned to his original appearance. Yan Lu came to see him off, and Xu Feng repeatedly expressed his gratitude, stating that all remaining snake scales belonged to the Golden Stone Workshop. The delivery time for the Armor would also be decided by the Golden Stone Workshop.
Yan Lu nodded in response and then meaningfully said, "If the Golden Stone Workshop encounters any troubles in the future, I hope Group Leader will remember the favor of the No Absolute Master’s gifted blade and lend a hand for us."
Gifted blade? Xu Feng suddenly understood; the Golden Stone Workshop was quite shrewd and must have guessed that Jiang Wujue left the Superior Dao Instrument Ice Fire Blade for him. They simply respected their teacher's teachings and did not make it explicit.
Old ginger is still spicy.
Xu Feng nodded heavily and said, "Elder, rest assured. Xu Feng is certainly not ungrateful."
