Yanyulou

In front of him, inside the mahogany box, a pitch-black stone lay quietly in it, without any difference in appearance.

However, when Zhang Sloppy saw the stone, his expression rarely changed.

"Why, is this stone any different?"

Qin Granny asked puzzledly, she had seen this stone before, but she didn't find anything special about it.

"Qin Grace, although your cultivation base is a bit higher than mine, but seeing this thing, you are much worse than an old man like me."

Zhang Sloppy regained his composure, looked at the woman in front of him, grinned, and said, "Do you know what this is?"

"do not know."

Qin Granny shook her head and said.

"This is the Blazing Iron Essence."

While speaking, Zhang Sloppy poured a wisp of true energy into the stone, and suddenly, the whole stone began to change, a few cracks appeared, and the heat wave was raging.

On the side, Qin Grace's expression became slightly condensed when she saw this.

"This iron essence is the god of the sun in the world. It is said that after the stars in the sky fell to the world, they were conceived in the fire of the earth for thousands of years. It is much more precious than the thousand-year-old cold iron in your Qingshuang sword." Zhang Zhang sloppy said

Qin Granny narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and said, "In this way, it is indeed a divine object. Since there is such a treasure, can you forge a sword for him?"

"The difficulty is here."

Zhang Sloppy said helplessly, "This thing was conceived in the fire of the earth. I am afraid that there is no flame in the world that can melt it. It is difficult to forge a sword with this iron."

"Is there no other way?" Qin Grace frowned.

"Not at all."

Zhang Sloppy thought for a while, and said, "I once read in an ancient book that a solitary yin does not grow, and a solitary yang does not grow. In ancient times, when refining weapons, great craftsmen would add things of the opposite nature to their magical materials. , it can not only prevent the material from being too rigid and easy to break, but also help the material to take shape."

"Something of the opposite nature?"

Qin Grace murmured softly, "Then you need something extremely dark."

"Indeed, however, it is not an easy task to find an extremely dark thing of the same level as this blazing iron spirit."

Zhang Sloppy said in a low voice.

"Well, it's not easy to confirm."

Qin Grace nodded and said, "Jian Chi, do you feel that this matter is a bit unusual?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Sloppy said in confusion.

"How could those low-level bandits in Qilian Mountain have this fetish? However, I don't even know this iron spirit, but the bandit leader knows its value and hides it very tightly. Isn't it too much?" Strange." Qin Grace said.

"Hearing you say that, it is indeed a bit strange."

Zhang Sloppy frowned and said, "If you get this treasure by chance, you can talk about it. However, even if ordinary people see it, they will only treat it as a broken stone, and it is impossible to recognize it. The bandit leader can see that it is a treasure. The treasure, if someone hadn’t pointed it out, otherwise, the only explanation is that he already knew what the stone was.”

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty. If others point it out, the bandit leader will not be able to keep this fetish."

Qin Grace said calmly, "The greatest possibility is that he already knew the value of this stone. In this way, this bandit leader is no ordinary person."

Zhang Sloppy nodded and said, "I didn't expect this small city of Yuzhou to be full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, let alone Li's residence, the bandits in the mountains outside the city are not ordinary people."

"Perhaps, if we want to find the extremely dark thing with the opposite attribute of the blazing iron essence, we have to start with the bandit leader." Qin Grace said.

"Makes sense."

Zhang Sloppy nodded, smiled, and said, "Why, you want to do it yourself?"

"I can't do things like bullying the small with the big. Since Li Ziye retrieved the iron spirit, let him do the rest."

Qin Grace said calmly, "The bandit leader is not a very strong opponent. Li Ziye can still catch up with his hard work."

While the two were talking, in the pharmacy, Li Ziye, who was in a coma, slowly opened his eyes. Just about to struggle to get up, suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and his painful body began to tremble.

After a while, Li Ziye took a deep breath and carefully climbed out of the medicine barrel.

"hiss."

In the process of crawling, Li Ziye accidentally touched the sternum that had not fully recovered, and grinned in pain.

After tossing and tossing for nearly half an hour, Li Ziye finally walked out of the pharmacy, saw the two people by the lake, gritted his teeth, and moved over step by step.

"Yo, still alive, not bad."

Zhang Sloppy glanced at the former, and said, "If you don't come out again, I thought you were dead."

"Bah, bah, bad luck, I live well, so I won't die."

Li Ziye said something in a bad mood, finally moved to the lake, sat down with grinning teeth, and said, "However, if it's that close, I'm really dead."

"How about it, a real warrior is not as simple as you imagined." Zhang Sloppy said.

"Very strong."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "If he hadn't been careless and received a sword from me, I might not be able to come back."

"Tell me, what happened?" Zhang Sloppy asked curiously.

"Ah."

Li Ziye nodded, and explained what happened last night in detail.

Zhang Sloppy and Qin Grace listened quietly, and after listening, they looked at each other with surprise.

This kid's reflexes are pretty good.

"Boy, you did the right thing."

Zhang Sloppy praised, "Even if you stabbed the bandit leader with a sword, if you continue to love the fight, you will still be the one who dies. That's right, you haven't been dazzled by the momentary victory, you can teach me."

"low profile."

Li Ziye grinned and said, "I just feel that the bandit leader is very strong, and I'm not sure I can beat him."

"It will be soon."

At the side, Qin Grace spoke and said calmly, "In the past few days, you should practice the Feixian Jue mentality first, and when the injury recovers, I will try my best to teach you the Feixianjue sword."

"Really, thank you Master Fairy, hiss."

Hearing this, Li Ziye immediately became excited, but just as he was about to get carried away, he accidentally touched the wound and gasped in pain.

Just when Li Ziye started to formally embark on the road of martial arts, the carriage rumbled to the west of the capital city of Dashang. After traveling for many days, Li Youwei and the third prince finally arrived in front of the capital city.

The bustling capital city has been immortal for a thousand years, and the great merchants have been in power for a thousand years. The capital city has experienced countless winds and rains, but it still stands firm, and no one can shake it.

Even a sword fairy among the invincibles would restrain his edge when he arrived at the capital of the Great Merchants. This is the background of the first city in a thousand years.

In front of the capital, Li Youwei lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the thousand-year-old city in front of her, her beautiful face showing a gloomy look.

It finally came.

Over the years, the Li family has tried their best to avoid any relationship with the forces in this imperial city, but the current situation can no longer allow the Li family to evade.

The collision between the Li family and the forces in the capital is inevitable.

In front of Li Youwei's carriage, the third prince Mu Yao looked at the imperial city ahead, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

This trip is worthwhile.

He also completed the task.

He was afraid that the people from the Li family would not come, so he had no good solution, after all, in Yuzhou City, the Li family was the overlord.

Li Youwei has already arrived, and it's not far from Li Ziye's arrival.

"Let's go! Go to town."

Thinking up to this point, Mu Yao put down the car curtain and ordered.

"Yes!"

In the rear, the carriage rumbled slowly into the city of the Great Merchants.

At this moment, a secret report was passed in from all the mansions in the capital city of the Great Merchants, and it didn't take long for the news of the Li family's arrival in the capital city to spread.

In the imperial palace, an extremely beautiful girl who is more beautiful than Huajiao heard the news from the little eunuch, the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

The Li family is finally here.

Over the past few years, she has heard the Li family mentioned by several imperial brothers more than once.

Even the emperor mentioned the Li family in Yuzhou City several times.

It can be seen that the Li family has gradually gained a pivotal position in this Great Shang Dynasty.

However, in these years, the Li family has never set foot in the capital, which made it impossible for her to meet the people of the Li family.

"Princess Ninth, the Fourth Prince is here."

At this time, a young eunuch walked quickly and said.

"Fourth Emperor Brother? Please." The girl said.

"Yes!"

The little eunuch took the order, turned around and left immediately.

Not long after, a man dressed in white stepped forward, his face was stern, without a smile, his pace was not fast, but the distance of each step was exactly the same, without the slightest error.

The fourth prince Mu Bai, one of the world's four great arrogances, who is as famous as the god son of the Tianyu Palace, the Buddhist son, and Huo Lin'er of the Suzaku sect, just standing there gives an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Brother Four."

The girl stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Murong, your third brother is back."

Mu Bai opened his mouth and said calmly, "Aren't you going to meet?"

"Didn't Brother Four go too?"

Murong straightened up, smiled sweetly, and said, "It's too tiring talking to Brother Sanhuang, it's better to stay in the palace."

"I heard that people from the Li family are here too, are they the legitimate sons of the Li family?"

Mu Bai asked, "It is said that Li Ziye has worshiped the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal as his teacher, and if he has a chance, he would like to compete with him."

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Four."

Murong smiled and said, "According to my information, the person who came from the Li family this time was Li Youwei, the eldest daughter of the Li family, and the Li family's first son did not come."

Hearing this, Mu Bai frowned slightly, and said, "That's a pity."

"It's not a pity."

The corners of Murong's mouth were slightly curved, and he said, "Li's parents and daughters are here, so Li Ziye will be here soon."

"What do you mean?" Mu Bai asked.

"Brother Sihuang, if you don't like intrigue, don't ask more questions."

Murong smiled and said, "Anyway, I said that Li Ziye will come, and he will definitely come, you can just wait with peace of mind."

"Well, let's go."

Mu Bai nodded, and immediately turned and left.

From behind, Murong looked at the back of his brother leaving, a look of helplessness appeared on his beautiful face.

Her fourth brother's personality is really too weird, except for practicing swords, she has no interest in anything else.

This is really an alternative in the royal family vying for power.

It's just that the fact that the Four Emperor Brothers don't fight doesn't mean they can stay out of the matter.

If she guessed right, when the son of the Li family came to the capital, the battle between the royal family and the Li family, as well as the open and secret battles between the princes of the royal family, would officially begin.
