Chapter 425 The End
At the end of each month, Nanhuaxing's disciples, Liu Feng and Liu Yun, would go to a certain place to retrieve the law treasure. This errand made other fellow disciples envious, as they could establish a good relationship with the Refining Master, and it wouldn't be difficult to ask them to refine one or two treasures in the future.
Since the destruction of Qilingzong, almost all the refining and casting of artifacts in Xiuzhenjie have been controlled by the Qixiu Alliance. Therefore, it is a very glorious thing for a sect to have one or two artifact refiners today.
Liu Feng and Liu Yun hummed as they rode their flying swords to the back mountain where the Refining Master lived.
"Master, you said if all the members of the Instrument Repair Alliance could be like this Spiritual Treasure Master, wouldn't that be great?" Flowing Cloud asked with a naive expression.
"Junior brother, no wonder Master Shu said you'll never grow up. Are the Qirefining Alliance and this Spiritual Treasure Master the same? You're really so naive, if that's the case, then our Cultivation Realm wouldn't have so many conflicts caused by fighting over treasures." Liu Feng looked at his junior brother with a gaze that was almost as if looking at an idiot, sighing incessantly.
"Both of you, please follow me. Our master has something important to discuss with both of you inside." Luo Ling stood at the door and said with a smile, her eyes shining with a lively and pure light.
"What's that?" Feng Liu looked a bit silly and seemed to have not heard what Luo Ling had just said, asking foolishly.
"Big brother, you're infatuated again, hurry up and go in, Luo Ling sister said there's something important to discuss with us." The Flow Cloud beside him covered his mouth and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go in, didn't you hear that it's a serious matter?" Feng Liuxue said hastily as she walked in, leaving behind Liu Yun who was still standing there with a foolish smile.
"Wait for me, Brother."
"Big Brother, did you feel anything?" Liu Yun looked around and seemingly didn't find the answer he was looking for, so he pulled on Liu Feng's sleeve and asked.
"Nonsense. How can you not feel such a huge difference? Haven't you noticed that the spiritual energy density in this cave seems to be even thicker than the core area of our sect's inner gate?" Liu Feng looked at his junior brother, truly speechless. But after all, he was his junior brother. Although it was frustrating, he still gave him an answer.
"Two little brothers have arrived, huh." Lingbao's chubby figure appeared in the two men's line of sight. And this time, the usually humorous big fat alchemist master was unusually serious today. This made the two men feel uneasy. The two of them looked at each other, wanting to find an answer from each other. But after all, this matter had come too suddenly.
"What's with the tension? Today is just a small favor, no need to look at me like that. Have I changed or something?" Lingbao looked at these two Huayun disciples who had the most contact with him and couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed his image had already been deeply ingrained in their minds. Trying to change it now would be difficult indeed.
Liú yún and Liú fēng looked at the restored Lingbao, which suddenly changed from its previous awkward appearance. They both let out a sigh of relief.
"Big fat refining master. What's wrong with you today? So out of character. We still like you this way."
"On the side, the cloud mouth is fast. If you don't pay attention, you'll accidentally say out loud the nickname given to Lingbao."
"Big Fatty Refiner?!" Lingbao's originally sunny face suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, after all he hated it the most when someone called him fatty. (ps: Jian Ge is also a fatty, but I like it when people call me fatty, haha).
Luo Ling looked at Liu Yun with a sympathetic gaze, standing there in a daze, and couldn't bear to close his eyes, because he knew what would happen if Master heard such a voice.
"Lingbao, don't bully the younger ones here. Being fat isn't a flaw, let them speak up, it won't hurt you one bit." Sun Ming, disguised as Ming Xin Zhenren, suddenly appeared before everyone, with his usual immortal demeanor and radiant aura.
"It would be great if they could just shed two pieces of flesh." Lingbao muttered to himself, but after all, this form was his own choice, otherwise he could have changed his physical characteristics during the Dan Breaking Transformation.
"Who are you!!!" A huge shockwave ran through the minds of Liú Fēng and Liú Yún, a phrase suddenly appearing in their hearts and lingering for a long time. After all, on a fifth-grade cultivation planet like Nán Huá Xīng, a cultivator who had reached the Unity stage was equivalent to the highest level of martial power. Just imagine, two mediocre cultivators who were always considered top-notch on this planet suddenly saw someone they might not even see once in their lifetime - a top-level master - and how would they feel?
Of course, it's impossible for Sun Ming to have the skill of teleportation just because he is in the Outburst period, but who made him a Refiner Master, and still a genius Refiner Master? The Instant Sky Plate that can move over short distances happened to be useful, but unfortunately, the spirit of the Instant Sky Plate will probably be infuriated. It's ironic that the first time it was used was to deceive people.
"The old man's clear mind is in front of the Lingbao Sect"
The sky is asking you two little brothers to inform your Huayun Sect's Shifu that there is an important matter to discuss with them." The tone of 'Ming Xin' seemed to carry a kind of irresistible power, and Liuyun and Liufeng nodded immediately after hearing Sun Ming's words, almost without any hesitation.
"Elder, rest assured, my junior brother and I will go inform our sect's seniors to come forth." Liú Yún and Liú Fēng didn't dare to be slow, after all, when facing such a master who could destroy them with just a flick of his finger, they were somewhat nervous. In their hearts, they still hoped to end this as soon as possible.
"Stop right there, both of you." Sun Ming called out to the two who were about to turn and leave.
"I don't know what instructions the seniors have." The two replied in unison and also paid a junior courtesy to Sun Ming.
"Hehe, it's polite to meet you, especially for young people like you. Take these two flying swords." Sun Ming and his generous wife took out two sparkling flying swords from Na Xue's wristlet and handed them over to the two of them.
"They both looked embarrassed, neither accepting nor declining. After all, in their eyes, two mid-grade spiritual flying swords were undoubtedly precious to the extreme. Their own sect's leader's sword was only a high-grade spiritual artifact. Although they felt that this thing was too precious, they still wanted it very much in their hearts, and their gaze had been fixed on the flying swords from the beginning."
"Grandma and mom, let you take it down, you just take it down. The Lingbao Shifu sent you things, but you don't want them, isn't that too much? On the side, Lingbao looked at the two mid-grade flying swords with a heartache, but since they were given as a gift by the sect's elder, there was nothing to be done about it, and instead urged the two people on."
After getting the Lingbao's words, the two of them didn't make any more moves and happily took the flying sword away.
"Thank you, senior, for the gift of the sword. We juniors take our leave." The two turned around and left, and soon after, they had also left the cave mansion. Sun Ming then heard a loud howl coming from outside the cave mansion.
"Spiritual instrument, junior brother, it's a spiritual instrument."
"Benefactor brother, it's still a medium-grade spiritual artifact."
Yunyuan Star Instrument Spirit Sect is still bustling with people, but the sign of a broken instrument repair alliance has made the originally peaceful atmosphere somewhat eerie. The Huoyun mountain range can be seen everywhere, leaving traces of the great war years ago. Sun Ming's tomb valley, where he lived for decades, was completely buried by two collapsed mountains. The abandoned refining equipment materials that are faintly visible are still telling the story of their former glory.
In the year of the instrument spirit, the place where the instrument soul mountain was located, a woman stood alone in front of the cliff, her eyes deep and profound, looking at the clouds rolling and stretching around the waist of the mountain, revealing endless melancholy.
"Yun Luan, what are you doing here?" Lan Yin Zhenren slowly walked out from behind the woman's Qián Hún Diàn, asking loudly.
"Master." Murong Yun looked at the newcomer and nodded slightly, answering in a low voice.
"What's on your mind?" Lian Yin Zhenren was also looking at the clouds rolling and stretching below the cliff, but the atmosphere revealed was vastly different from Murong Yunluo's. It was a kind of eeriness, a kind of weirdness, a kind of inexplicable sinister intent.
"The disciple is wondering whether what we did back then was right or wrong." Murong Yunlan tried to ask his own question, after all, this was a question that his master had never been willing to answer.
"Here we go again, sigh, Yun Luan, you..." Lan Yin True Person seemed to have a hint of frustration.
"Master, I've always had my doubts about what we're doing. Is it really necessary for our Instrument Repair Alliance to rise by trampling on other sects? The destruction of the Instrument Spirit Sect has taken with it countless brilliant achievements and classics. The elders of the Sacred Alliance of Instrument Repair say that the destruction of the Instrument Spirit Sect has at least lowered the overall level of instrument refinement in the Cultivation Realm by one tier." If Sun Ming were here to see this, he would definitely think it's not real, because the violent girl Murong Yunluan is actually showing a pained and sorrowful expression.
"The progress of the times will always have some sacrifices. Why is the Dan Xiu Alliance now in such a high position? It's because they formed an alliance system much earlier than us, Qi Xiu. And at present, in this cultivation world, our Qi Xiu group, which is not superior in attack, must unite like Dan Xiu, otherwise we will be suppressed by other cultivators later on. But when we have already formed an alliance, the Qi Ling Sect still opposes us, so their destruction is inevitable. Because only then can our alliance be a true one. Master, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I know that, but Master, should we as artifact refiners allow the refinement level of the Xiuzhen realm to drop by a whole tier?" Mu Rongyun asked somewhat discontentedly.
"This question doesn't need to be asked again, knowing a little is enough. In the face of interests, no matter what it is, as long as it doesn't harm one's own interests, it can be sacrificed."
