Late at night.
Above the Ye Family Forge, a figure darted through the air and entered the master bedroom at the back of the hall, which belonged to Ye Yang.
Upon entering the room, Ye Yang took out a medicine box and applied ointment to the numerous knife-like wounds on his arm. He then tore off a strip of black cloth to wrap around it. Although the Heir of the Hidden Dragon Hall's body was rapidly healing the wounds, Ye Yang felt that not applying medicine after an injury was illogical; it felt akin to not wiping oneself after using the restroom.
"Zi Yu..."
Outside the door, there was a knock from Zhang Tianhe.
"Come in, Tianhe."
With a creak, the door opened, and Zhang Tianhe hurriedly walked in, saying, "I sensed fluctuations of Starlight Power coming from the direction of the Peng Family. What’s going on? Did you encounter a Starry Sky Expert?"
"Yes!"
Ye Yang nodded heavily and said, "Fire Plow returned once but left injured. Next time, probably within seven days, he will definitely return. The Fire God Clan is facing a battle for survival!"
Zhang Tianhe was alarmed. "What should we do?"
"Whatever comes our way, we will face it; we must train diligently. There are no other options!"
"Understood!"
...
After Zhang Tianhe left, Ye Yang immersed himself in the realm of Refining Technique. His mind was in a dormant state, but True Qi flowed continuously throughout his body; this was the essence of Refining Technique.
In the early morning, I suddenly opened my eyes to find the sky was Big White.
"Zi Yu!"
From the Cosmic Bag, Qin Fang's voice came through: "After yesterday's battle with Fire Plow, he made it clear that the Redstone Alliance will come again. What are your plans?"
Ye Yang shook his head: "No plans. If they dare to come, I will dare to kill!"
"Mm!"
Qin Fang smiled slightly: "Redstone Alliance, although I don't know what their background is, Fire Plow's martial arts manual reveals a sinister Void Power. If I'm not mistaken, Fire Plow is a disciple of Asura Hall. Hmph, the Redstone Alliance must have some connection with Asura Hall; otherwise, Fire Plow wouldn't serve the Redstone Alliance."
Ye Yang nodded: "Mm!"
At that moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Brother, the young lady from Azure Thunder Merchant Association has arrived and brought many precious ores. She left the forging materials and has already taken her leave, saying she wouldn't disturb your cultivation."
"Oh, got it. I'll go out and take a look in a bit!"
"Okay!"
After getting up and washing up, Ye Yang finished breakfast. In the center of the courtyard at Ye Yang's residence, more than a dozen strong men from Azure Thunder Merchant Association were carrying four large boxes. The boxes weren't very big—only 40 centimeters wide—but the heavy burdens nearly broke their backs. These strong men were Earth Level Two and Earth Level Three warriors; two of them struggled to carry one box and looked pale from exhaustion. This surprised Ye Yang; what could be so heavy inside these boxes?
He stepped forward and opened one of the boxes, revealing two fist-sized jet-black ores inside. The surface was smooth and flawless, looking quite extraordinary!
"What is this...?" Ye Yang pondered aloud.
A strong warrior laughed and said, "Young Master Ye, this is the rare ore that the young lady instructed us to deliver, sourced from the extremely low regions of the Mystic Jade Crystal. There are a total of 8 pieces, weighing 747 kilograms! The young lady went through considerable trouble to obtain these, truly a labor of love..."
"My goodness!"
Ye Yang was slightly astonished, never expecting that such a small stone could be so heavy. He spoke in a deep voice, gripping one piece of Mystic Jade Crystal with one hand. With a slight effort, he lifted it up; indeed, it was quite substantial. This fist-sized crystal weighed as much as an 180-pound person!
Fortunately, Ye Yang's cultivation was exceptional, and his arm strength was astonishing. With True Qi activated, he could easily lift not just one hundred kilograms but even a thousand-kilogram boulder with ease!
"Alright, I've received the items. Please tell the young lady that I will complete the forging mission on time and let her await my good news!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
The group of strong warriors turned to leave, while Ye Yang picked up the 8 pieces of Mystic Jade Crystal from the box and tossed them all into his Cosmic Bag. These crystals were quite valuable; Lei Xiaodie must have put in a lot of effort to acquire them.
In the hall.
Zhang Tianhe and Ye Beichi were present. Ye Yang looked at both of them and said solemnly, "Second Uncle, I will be in seclusion for a few days. During this time, all matters concerning the Forge will be entrusted to you. Additionally, Tianhe, please take care of the Ye Family's safety these days. The Peng Family still has several elder-level members who are not weak; you need to closely monitor their movements!"
"Don't worry, Zi Yu!" Zhang Tianhe confidently patted his chest and said with a smile, "With me Zhang Tianhe around, no one can touch a hair on the Ye Family!"
"Good!"
...
After giving all his instructions, Ye Yang packed enough food and water and entered the underground chamber of the Ye Family Forge. It was a square room with good ventilation and lighting but very quiet, making it suitable for cultivation. The Battle Axe Radiance was placed in the main hall of the Forge as a treasure of the town. Moreover, if members of the Redstone Alliance came to attack, Zhang Tianhe could also use the Battle Axe Radiance, significantly increasing their chances of success.
Ye Yang took out the Divine Dragon Cauldron from the Cosmic Bag and placed it in the center of the secret chamber. He then put all eight pieces of Mystic Jade Crystal into the Divine Dragon Cauldron to begin melting these ores. Ye Yang could faintly sense that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy contained within these ores was many times richer than that of the Mystic Spirit Stone. Completely melting these ores was not going to be an easy task.
Holding the Ice Soul Blade in both hands, Ye Yang stood proudly in front of the Divine Dragon Cauldron, closed his eyes, and entered the Refined Realm. His True Qi circulated, and the Fire God Fragment True Qi surged towards the Divine Dragon Cauldron from a distance. In a moment, the cauldron turned bright red, emitting a soft sound resembling a Dragon's Roar.
Undoubtedly, after obtaining the Hidden Dragon Hall's Inheritance, Ye Yang's power had undergone subtle changes. Even during weapon forging, there was a concentration of Dragon's Power. As a result, every weapon that Ye Yang refined would contain a certain amount of Dragon Power, essentially becoming a prestigious brand. Any weapon crafted by Ye Yang would undoubtedly become a coveted treasure sought after by many.
With a calm breath and circulating True Qi, the entire secret chamber became intensely hot. However, Ye Yang thoroughly enjoyed immersing himself in the understanding and communication with the Fire Element.
...
When he opened his eyes again, an entire day had passed.
Inside the Divine Dragon Cauldron, those Mystic Jade Crystals remained very solid and showed no signs of melting. This intrigued Ye Yang; these precious ores were indeed extraordinary!
Another day passed, making it two full days, yet the Mystic Jade Crystals still had not melted. Ye Yang was not anxious at all; his mind was extremely peaceful as he continued to immerse himself in the Refined Realm.
Finally, on the third day, the Divine Dragon Cauldron emitted a slight tremor. The core piece of Mystic Jade Crystal inside was glowing red hot, and sounds of cracking began to emerge as these mysterious hard ores started to melt!
