Chapter 112 Ironmaking
When the Starry Sky Tree completely withers, leaving only a huge deep pit in the earth. ♬♦ ♦♧
Ye Feiyang walked to the front of the deep pit and spread his spiritual power to explore it. Then he grasped a somewhat broken object the size of a dark red orange, surrounded by an aura of decay, and floated in front of Ye Feiyang.
"There's still a glimmer of hope." Ye Feiyang felt the faint vitality emanating from it. A smile appeared on his face. He put it away.
"Is there any possibility of revival?" Mo Fan asked.
Ye Feiyang shook his head: "The chances are slim. It is already broken, not complete. Even if this seed has a second spring, it will not grow into what it was before."
"Oh," Mo Fan nodded thoughtfully, then took the little Yan Ji in Lingling's arms and comforted her.
After Mo Fan calmed Little Yan Ji down, Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan packed up the tent and everything else.
"We should go back."
As Ye Feiyang finished speaking, the group's journey to Zhuoyuan officially came to an end.
In Dunhuang City, Zhang Xiaohou parted ways with the others and returned to the military district alone. Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Lingling flew directly back to the Magic City, while Ye Feiyang first went to the Dunhuang Military District to claim the bounty on the ghost woman before flying directly to the Imperial Capital.
Imperial Capital Academy.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Ningxue, wearing a white dress with a waistline, looked at Ye Feiyang in front of her with a hint of surprise on her cold face.
Ye Feiyang smiled faintly: "I came here naturally when I missed you."
"Oh," Mu Ningxue nodded, then asked, "Hasn't the preliminaries for the National Competition at Mingzhu Academy started yet?"
"Preliminary selection?" Ye Feiyang was stunned when he heard this and shook his head. "I don't know about this. Maybe it has already started. I haven't been in school for a while."
After saying this, Ye Feiyang carefully felt the aura emanating from Mu Ningxue.
"Ning Xue, I think your cultivation will soon reach a high level."
"Um"
Mu Ningxue nodded, not surprised that Ye Feiyang could sense her cultivation level. She spoke hesitantly.
"The Mu family said they would give me a Galaxy Vein to help me break through. They also offered to give me the spot recommended by the Mu Clan National Government. They wanted me to participate in the National Government Competition under the name of the Imperial Capital Mu Clan. I don't know if I should agree to them."
"It's not that you don't know whether you should agree to their offer or not, but you don't know what they'll ask you to do after you accept their help. And you don't know what they'll do to you, or even me, if you refuse them, right?"
Ye Feiyang saw through the confusion in Mu Ningxue's eyes and said calmly.
Hearing Ye Feiyang's words, Mu Ningxue nodded.
"I won't make decisions for you. Just do everything according to your own ideas. I won't be a burden to you. After all, I haven't been in the imperial capital for all these years for nothing."
Ye Feiyang reached out and touched Mu Ningxue's fair and smooth face, and said softly.
"you..."
Mu Ningxue's face showed a hint of gratitude when she heard Ye Feiyang's words, but then a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She slowly spoke.
"Break through the high-level Galaxy Veins? Wait for my good news in the next few days. Your boyfriend still has some connections in the imperial capital."
Even though Mu Ningxue only said one word, Ye Feiyang understood what she meant. He reached out his other hand and covered Mu Ningxue's lips. His tone was gentle, yet it revealed a refusal to refuse.
Mu Ningxue's eyes flashed with emotion when she heard this, and she nodded slightly.
If possible, she really didn't want to have anything to do with that family.
Seeing Mu Ningxue nod, Ye Feiyang's lips curled up slightly to reveal a faint smile.
Because Mu Ningxue had a competition tomorrow, Ye Feiyang took Mu Ningxue to eat some tofu and chat for a while before leaving the Imperial Capital Academy.
After leaving the Imperial Capital Academy, Ye Feiyang dialed a number.
"Brother Jun, I got some fire-type materials and I want you to take a look at them and see how much they are worth."
"Okay, then go to the magic tool shop I own. I'll be there now."
Hearing this, Ye Feiyang hung up the phone and walked towards the central street of the imperial capital.
Willow catkin magic tool!
Ye Feiyang took a look at the plaque and strode in.
"Master Feiyang is here, please come this way."
Ye Feiyang had just entered and was looking at the various magical tools with clearly marked prices on the shelves. Just as he was about to go forward to take a look, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked down from upstairs with a smile on his face and an extremely respectful tone.
"good."
Ye Feiyang nodded and followed the middle-aged man down.
Because this shop was opened by Jiang Shaojun himself, he would come here when he had nothing to do, so the manager and even the waiters knew him. Although they didn't know that Ye Feiyang was Pang Lai's disciple, they all knew that Ye Feiyang was a friend of their boss Jiang Shaojun.
Coming to the underground floor, compared to the first floor which was filled with a wide variety of magical tools, the second floor was more like a raw material processing area, with all kinds of strange monster bones, various ores, and a red furnace in the middle.
"Brother Jun hasn't arrived yet?"
After Ye Feiyang glanced around, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked in confusion.
"Boss, he's in the foundry. Do you want me to go and inform him?"
The middle-aged man answered respectfully and then asked tentatively.
"No, I'll go find him. There are some materials here. You can take them to the appraiser and ask him to help me determine their value."
Ye Feiyang shook his head, rejecting the middle-aged man's proposal, then took out a silver-white ring with a dull luster from his pocket and threw it to the man, saying lightly.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After hearing Ye Feiyang's words, the middle-aged man put the ring away and turned to leave.
Seeing the middle-aged man's back disappear, Ye Feiyang walked around the furnace and headed towards a small door.
"Clang clang clang!!!"
Ye Feiyang just walked to the door when he heard a series of crisp knocking sounds coming from inside. Ye Feiyang stretched out his hand to push open the small door and saw Jiang Shaojun inside with his strong upper body naked, a white towel draped around his neck, sweat dripping down his muscles and across his well-defined abdominal muscles.
After hearing the noise, Jiang Shaojun put down the hammer in his hand, turned his head and saw Ye Feiyang standing in front of the door with a faint smile on his face.
"Would you like to try it?"
"Try."
Ye Feiyang raised an eyebrow, reached out to take off his shirt, took the hammer from Jiang Shaojun's hand, shook it to test the weight. Then he walked to the shelf next to him and took down a hammer that was smaller than the one in Jiang Shaojun's hand.
Then he took the pliers in his other hand, clamped one end of the hot red object, and swung the hammer in his hand.
The hammer and the object collided, making a crisp clanging sound.
"Brother Jun, what happened?"
"Feiyang, what happened?"
