Chapter 160: Chapter 136: Fellow Daoist, Refining the Haotian Hammer!
Translator: 549690339
“Senior, don’t be impulsive!”
Xu Yang was taken off guard and directly lifted up, his legs flailing in the air, yelling, “I didn’t expect this, it’s your ginkgo tree that touched me!” “Bullshit!”
The old Daoist angrily said, “Xing’er is naturally timid and reserved, how could she take the initiative to touch you?”
“It must be that when you comprehended Dao, you communicated with Xing’er’s consciousness and deceived her with sweet words… she has just revived, her memory hasn’t recovered yet, pure and white like a blank sheet. You, young man, if you dare to play any tricks, this old Daoist will slap you to death!”
Xu Yang didn’t doubt that the old Daoist was bluffing.
Considering his status and strength, let alone slapping himself to death with one slap, there aren’t many people in the martial world of Da Xia who would dare to kill him.
So he stammered, “Senior, I understand your feelings, but I really haven’t communicated with the Tree Spirit.”
Old Daoist: “Why is Xing’er so close to you then?”
How the hell would I know?
What is this all about?
This is called a ginkgo out of the wall… it’s equivalent to this ginkgo tree greening the old Daoist!
Xu Yang muttered in his heart and said, “Maybe it’s because I was comprehending Dao under the tree before, emitting Dao rhyme, which helped her recovery… Senior, to be honest, I am already engaged, and will get married when I return to Wu City!”
“Really?”
“Absolutely true, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you at all!”
His words worked, the old Daoist let go of his hand, threw Xu Yang aside, and began to calculate by himself.
As he calculated, his eyebrows raised, and a strange expression appeared on his face, staring at Xu Yang, “Strange…strange… how did you get such a marriage fate?”
After calculating for a while, he hesitated and asked, “Who are you marrying?”
Xu Yang: “My wife!”
Old Daoist: “Your wife isn’t human?”
Xu Yang: “…”
What the hell, he can even calculate this?
The old Daoist sneered, “Humans and ghosts have different paths, Yin and Yang are separate. You, as a disciple of the Jingming Sect and the future sect leader of Jingming Sect, dare to marry a yin spirit, aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the martial world?”
“I’ll marry whomever I want, let them laugh their der!”
Xu Yang didn’t care at all.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to win over people in the future and won’t be able to succeed as the Heavenly Master?”
The old Daoist was silent for a few seconds and asked again.
Xu Yang laughed, “The Jingming Sect, due to the dispute over the Daoist lineage, has seen masters die and go into hiding. Who cares about these things? Also, once I become invincible in the world, even if I don’t want to succeed as a Heavenly Master, they will beg me to do so. No one will care about whom I marry.”
Speaking of which, he spread his hands and said, “Besides, being a Heavenly Master, having a few female ghosts, demons, and zombies by my side, using my love to reform them, wouldn’t that be reasonable?”
The old Daoist was silent again, and then asked his third question, “You are still young, what will happen to the descendants after marrying a yin spirit?”
Xu Yang smiled, and asked back, “The Zongsheng Palace belongs to the Quanzhen Sect, if I’m not mistaken, the Quanzhen Sect’s rules do not allow marriage or having children, right?”
The old Daoist sighed, “The rules say so, I am the oldest person in the Quanzhen Sect now, I can’t break the rules.”
Xu Yang lowered his voice and said, “Why does senior need to be so stubborn about getting married and having children?”
“In the Quanzhen Sect, even though you don’t allow marriage and having children, is it still forbidden for the Daoist to have a Daoist companion?”
This is not false.
Having a Daoist companion is a normal thing in ancient times. When two people hit it off, they become Daoist companions, keep each other company and take care of each other, and they can even discuss Dao together. This is allowed in any Daoist sect.
As for what happens after becoming Daoist companions, if you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who would know?
Grandmaster Chengming’s eyes lit up, and he immediately saluted Xu Yang, “Thank you, Brother Xu Yang, for clearing up my confusion!”
Xu Yang saluted back, “Senior, you are too polite. We are all peers, and we should help each other out.”
“Peers?”
The old Daoist was stunned at first but then reacted, and laughed, “Well said! Peers!”
“Speaking of peers, I have to mention young Wang Hou. When you set the date for your wedding day, let him know, and Wang Hou and I will come to your wedding feast together.”
“Certainly, certainly!”
After a few courteous exchanges, the old Daoist remembered the serious matter and asked, “Didn’t you say you have a body at home to deal with and were anxious to go back? Wiry are you back again?”
Xu Yang flipped his hand, took out the black flame stone and said, “I heard from Master Morris of Maoshan that Senior is the number one weapon refiner in the world today, so I brazenly ask Senior to help me refine a Daoist artifact!”
“This little bastard, he tells everything!”
Old Daoist glared, “What hammer? At my age, you still have the nerve to make use of me?”
Xu Yang was shocked, “Senior, you are really amazing. You could calculate that I want to refine a hammer!”
Grandmaster Chengming: “…”
With the conversation going this far, what could he say?
He immediately asked about Xu Yang’s requirements, took the black flame stone, and asked in surprise, “Are you sure you want to refine it into a big hammer? This black flame stone is incredibly heavy, even if it’s refined into a thin sword, it would weigh nearly 100 kg. Refining a hammer? You also have to add other refining materials, I’m afraid it would weigh at least 1,000 kg after refining… are you sure you can use it?”
“Moreover, we Daoists are not those rough martial artists. How can we use such a crude artifact?”
Do Dao cultivators despise martial artists so much?
However, most martial artists of the same realm could easily defeat most Daoist cultivators in close combat.
Xu Yang said, “Senior, just go ahead and refine it. Apart from cultivation, I have also practiced some body refining. I can still wield a 1,000 kg hammer.”
“Alright.”
Grandmaster Chengming agreed and asked, “Do you have any requirements for the hammer’s appearance?”
Xu Yang found a picture of Thor’s Hammer on the internet, showed it to Grandmaster Chengming, and asked, “Do you want me to go to the main street, print this hammer out and leave it for you?”
“There’s no need for that, just send me a message.”
The ancient man who had lived for six hundred years silently took out the latest fruit-themed phone model from his Daoist robe.
Xu Yang opened his mouth and stared at the phone for a while before saying, “It’s impressive how you keep up with the times, Senior… What’s your WeChat ID?”
“I’ll scan yours.”
The old Daoist clearly knew quite a bit.
After exchanging WeChat contacts, they sent a picture of the Thunder God’s Hammer to Grandmaster Chengming.
Grandmaster Chengming zoomed in on the photo, looked at it for a few seconds, and shook his head, “This looks like the weapon that Western youngster uses in the movies, it won’t do… The black flame stone is a dark red, it’ll look terrible if the hammer is made like this… There’s a hammer called Haotian Hammer in some animation, I’ve seen its promotional material, that thunder hammer is much better.”
Xu Yang was shocked…
This old man, how could he know about this?
Xu Yang didn’t know what the Haotian Hammer looked like, so he searched for it online and found it to be pretty good. He immediately said, “In that case, Senior, you can make the decision.”
After determining the hammer’s design, Grandmaster Chengming began to hurry Xu Yang to leave, saying, “Alright, go back and deal with the body… I’ll talk to Xing’er for a bit, and start refining the artifact later. It should be ready by noon tomorrow, and I’ll send you a message then.”
Xu Yang thanked him and left.
He headed straight to the guesthouse.
As soon as he returned, he asked Liu Shishi about the Asura Sect assassin, whether she had become a vengeful ghost or not.
Liu Shishi shook her head and replied, “We’ve been guarding the body, but there’s been no change.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang was somewhat surprised.
Logically, since this so-called Hei Meigui was a top assassin of the Asura Sect, she should know more secret techniques. Even the little Kalamia who had been killed previously knew the secret of becoming a vengeful ghost after death, so how could she not?
Xu Yang examined Hei Meigui’s body.
She was already stiff.
Her fox mask had been removed, revealing an ugly face…
Yes!
It was ugly!
There were several hideous scars on her face.
This didn’t match Xu Yang’s imagination…After all, novels love to write about beautiful assassins falling for the protagonist. Moreover, she had a great figure; who would have thought she was actually an ugly person?
Of course.
Whether she was ugly or not didn’t matter; since she was an assassin, there wasn’t a chance Xu Yang would pity her.
After studying the body for a while, he took out a “Heavenly Eye Talisman” from his storage space with a flip of his hand.
As the “Heavenly Eye Talisman” was activated, a flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes. Looking at Hei Meigui’s body again, he immediately discovered something unusual… There was a cluster of Yin energy lurking within her body.
The Yin energy was hidden and curled up within the flesh, concealed from the investigations of Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi.
Xu Yang smiled…
What a sinister and evil person this Hei Meigui was!
She knew that even if she became a ghost, she would still face certain death, so she secretly hid herself… If Xu Yang and the others really thought she couldn’t become a vengeful ghost, they would surely dispose of her body. At that time, she could reappear and use her secret technique to absorb the flesh and strengthen herself, instantly becoming a “Red Ghost”!
Xu Yang saw through her intentions and naturally wouldn’t let her have her way.
So, he said hesitantly, “In that case, let’s just burn the body instead… it’s getting in the way in this room… I’ll just burn it!”
As he said this,
He snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
A flame sprouted from his fingertips.
Liu Shishi, Yun Mengxi, and Yue Yuluo were all taken aback, exclaiming, “You… You’ve entered an advanced level of Fire Method? Wait… You’ve entered the middle stage of the Entering Dao Realm? Have you broken through in your cultivation too?”
“Yes.”
Xu Yang replied, “Today, I attended the Daoist Skills Conference and got the chance to meditate and practice under the ginkgo tree planted by the founder of the Zongsheng Palace. I had insights into how the ancient sages preached, imparted, and comprehended the Dao under the tree, so I had a bit of a breakthrough… But now isn’t the time to talk about that, let me burn this body first!”
Whoosh!
He flicked his finger, and the flame at the tip of his finger instantly turned into a fireball, rushing towards the body.
Ding!
“The female ghost is frightened, virtue points +1.”
A system prompt sounded in his mind.
Just as the fireball was about to burn the body, Xu Yang recalled the fire and said, “Forget it, burning the body in the room will make too much of a smell. Let’s bury her instead?”
Damn it!
Only 1 point of virtue?
That’s not worthit!
It’s better to wait until she fully transforms into a “Red Ghost” before taking care of her!
Xu Yang had an idea!
Bury her!
Hide her!
Guard her corpse!
