Chapter 110 - Zhuang Zhou Dreaming That He Is a Butterfly, the Butterfly Dreaming That It Is

In the beginning, Lei Shao and the rest had their doubts about letting this special envoy stay within the sect.

No matter how they looked at it, this envoy did not seem like a normal person.

It was not an issue to let him stay within the sect now, but when problems came knocking on their door, it would really be too late to regret it should the sect be attacked.

However, on second thoughts, all of them stopped being so tensed up.

After all…

The Sect Master was awesome!

“Sect Master could even predict the special envoy’s provocative actions. He did not even need to use any trace of magical power to severely injure and shock him. I believe Sect Master has already considered the possible issues that we might encounter next.”

“After taking everything into consideration, the benefits of inviting this person to stay within the sect might be far greater than killing him!”

Most of the time, First Elder Lei Shao’s thinking process was much more straightforward than Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan’s.

If the other party was an enemy, then he would kill him as soon as possible.

If the other party was a guest, then he would treat him well.

If it is somewhere between the two? Then let me use the Sword-Heart Integration to take a look. If I still can’t see through the situation, then I’ll leave it to Sissy Liu and the Sect Master to deal with it!

Lei Shao stroked the beard on his chin and a smile gradually appeared on his aged face. “Since the Sect Master has agreed, we naturally have no objections. The Thousand Autumn Valley is willing to welcome any guest, as long as our guest is willing to maintain friendly communication.”

“There’s no need to welcome me.”

The young envoy shook his head and replied in all seriousness, “My name is Bai Ling. You can just call me by my name. This time, I’m indeed too impulsive. Therefore, other than reforging the Spirit King Sword, I will also forge three Primal Core treasures for you as long as you provide me with the materials…”

Primal Core treasures!

It was only a few words, but the moment everyone heard them, it was like a thunderclap that shook them into changing their expressions!

“Primal… Primal Core treasures?”

If not for their status and the formal occasion they were at, Lei Shao and the others would have swallowed their saliva greedily.

Yan Wuyou’s eyes darted around. “What kind of idiot did the imperial court send? He even dares to say that he wants to forge Primal Core treasures, and three of them at one shot?”

In this era, as the spiritual power of heaven and earth dissipated, the power of divine beings was not the only thing which had declined.

There were also all sorts of people and things that had gradually disappeared in the long course of history.

If a Primal Core treasure was activated by a Primal Core Realm cultivator, and both the cultivation method and attributes were compatible with each other, the combined power that it could unleash was almost equivalent to producing another Primal Core Realm cultivator!

Even if it was not a Primal Core Realm cultivator activating the treasure, and even if the attributes were not very compatible with each other, it was still a Primal Core treasure after all. No one knew how many of these treasures the imperial court and royal family had, so what this special envoy just said was simply unimaginable…

He wanted to forge three in one go!

Even His Majesty would not dare to boast like you!

“However, this guy said that he can reforge the Spirit King Sword. It looks like he still has some credibility. While I still have Feng Xia’s appearance, if I steal the Spirit King Sword when no one is paying attention …”

At the thought of this, Yan Wuyou’s bad mood for the past few days finally improved a little.

Since you captured me, I’ll steal your sword!

Yes, this is something very fair. What is there to be surprised about?

“However, I don’t know when Feng Xia will return… Ahhh, I don’t think I can handle this alone! I want to go to the Five Elements Sect! I want to be the Five Elements Sect Master! It’s too difficult to be the Thousand Autumn Valley’s Sect Master!”

After that, the young envoy, Bai Ling, was invited to enter the valley.

What made everyone heave a sigh of relief was that Bai Ling did what he said he would do. After entering the Thousand Autumn Valley, he behaved himself and was not as crazy as when he first arrived.

—Except when he saw the smithy provided by the Thousand Autumn Valley.

“Your sect’s smithy… is this it? Where’s the earth fire? Where’s the thousand layer furnace? Where’s the hundred forge mace?”

“We’re just a sword cultivation sect. Why would we have those things?”

Bai Ling’s eyes widened as if he had gotten to know the Thousand Autumn Valley again. Seeing that Yan Wuyou and the rest did not look like they were faking it, he could only shake his head and give them a thumbs up.

“…Brilliant! Truly brilliant! I admire you!”

“You flatter us.”

“…”

“Never mind… I’m the one who offended you in the first place. I’ll solve these problems myself. If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb me today.”

The stone door of the smithy slammed shut.

When Yan Wuyou and the rest turned around to leave, they could still hear Bai Ling muttering in the stone room, “This smithy is really too shabby. Where did the Thousand Autumn Valley find such a smithy that seems to have been idle for hundreds of years?”

The corners of Lei Shao’s mouth twitched.

Ever since the decline of the Thousand Autumn Valley, almost all the blacksmiths, array masters, alchemists and many others who were hired by the sect had left. How many years had it been since the last time the smithy was opened?

It could be 30 years, or maybe 40 years?

Whenever anyone had damaged weapons or equipment, they would either have to undertake the repairs themselves or find someone outside the valley to do the repairs. If Bai Ling had not mentioned it today, he had already forgotten that the Thousand Autumn Valley also had a smithy!

“When everything is back on track, perhaps it’s time to recruit more people… Oh right, perhaps I have to nurture a few people myself. There are still a lot of things to do…”

Also on this day.

A few people saw thick and blazing flames suddenly soar into the sky above the Thousand Autumn Valley’s smithy, penetrating a thousand feet into the sky before moving around ceaselessly, like a fire dragon that was surging through the sky.

Then, there was the sound of metal colliding. It sounded like thousands of troops fighting throughout an entire day.

A disciple of the Thousand Autumn Valley sneaked over, but he found the area where the smithy was located being blanketed by blazing flames and golden energy that filled the entire surroundings. Even though he had already activated his Mystical Wheel, he still found it difficult to get too close.

“That must be a grandmaster forging a peerless divine weapon!”

“The Thousand Autumn Valley has silently found itself an additional grandmaster blacksmith!”

Some people secretly deduced in their hearts, while others silently noted down what happened.

That night, in the dead of night.

Suddenly!!

Clang! Clang!

The clanging sound of a sword whistled and tore through layers of fire clouds. It devoured the golden energy in the surroundings and turned into a golden stream of light that shot towards the nine heavens!

“Spirit King Sword completed! Next!”

Someone heard the grandmaster’s laughter.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the quiet sky above the Thousand Autumn Valley, the sound of metal colliding constantly echoed like it contained a strange rhythm, causing many disciples to gradually look surprised.

“Why do I feel… as if my cultivation is regressing?”

“No, it’s not the cultivation regressing. It’s that the impurities in the vital energy are automatically being removed, causing the energy to be purified. That’s why it feels as if there’s less…”

“What’s going on? Could this be the work of the grandmaster?”

As time passed, more and more disciples were alarmed. Even some young people who were sleeping with their partners revealed shocked expressions on their faces. Then, they all fell to the ground and immersed themselves in cultivation amidst the clanging of the hammers.

In the eyes of many people…

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity!

“It’s almost done. The rough base of this Primal Core treasure has been completed…”

In the smithy, Bai Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked satisfied.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he felt as if his head was going to explode. “Where’s the base? Where has such a big base gone? How can it suddenly disappear?!”

Almost at the same time.

A white-robed young man held the arm of a young girl in a blue dress as they stepped out of the mysterious ancient street and returned to the Thousand Autumn Valley.
