Chapter 223: Believe It Or Not

[Signed in successfully in Dongming Mountain’s Hall of Heroes! Reward received!]

[Reward One: Advanced Weapon Refinement Manual!]

[Reward Two: 100 Vitality Reinforcement Pills!]

“Choose Reward One.”

[Reward issued.]

This Vitality Reinforcement Pill was a rather powerful pill. It was very rare in the world. One has never seen it before, though they had heard of it.

Under such double temptation, Li Yuanqing hesitated before choosing the Advanced Weapon Refinement Manual.

He had eaten too many pills these few days, so the spiritual energy in his body was inevitably a little unstable. Now, he was stabilizing the power in his body, so he did not want to borrow too much external help.

He thought that this advanced weapon refinement manual should be able to bring about a lot of gains.

Li Yuanqing was in the middle of the hall called the Hall of Heroes. He looked at the exquisite array formation they had set up and did not hesitate to take the important array discs for himself.

…

Without any effort, these two demon experts died at Li Yuanqing’s hands.

The demons were still surrounding outside. They still did not know what had happened inside and what fate they were about to face. Until the Blood Vine stood on the mountaintop with Shi Fengchun and Da Mingkong’s heads.

The remaining hundred thousand demons at the foot of the mountain dispersed. They did not dare to stay here any longer.

The two in front of them were true Gods of Slaughter. Even the two lords had died at their hands. What could they do?

Now, this grand crusade could be said to have been completely defeated. There was no room for negotiation.

In Ping City dozens of miles away, everyone was still immersed in the tense atmosphere. Everyone was tense, afraid that the demons would attack at any time.

Although the news in the city said that the demons had already lost two leaders and the attack would probably be delayed, they did not dare to believe such news casually. It was all hearsay and they could not be sure if it was true.

On the other hand, Qiu Muyun had become more and more proficient in refining weapons after training in the Treasure Pavilion for a period of time. He was now a slightly famous Weapon Refinement Master.

Although he had already moved out of Li Yuanqing’s small courtyard and had his own residence, he still went back to visit this benefactor who had helped him many times.

However, the previous few times he came, Li Yuanqing was not around. It seemed that Li Yuanqing often went out, and his personality was generally the same.

Qiu Muyun had some understanding of Li Yuanqing and knew that he liked to walk around.

Therefore, although he returned empty-handed the previous few times, he was not angry and insisted on coming over often.

Today, he stood in front of Li Yuanqing’s courtyard again and looked at the tightly shut courtyard door nervously.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly walked in.

Even if he could not see Li Yuanqing, Qiu Muyun would often help Li Yuanqing clean the house and tidy up the small courtyard. Although it might not be that clean, he had done his best.

However, the small courtyard today seemed to be a little different from usual.

In the small courtyard, various flowers and trees grew lushly and bloomed. Many strings and bamboo competed with each other.

It was an imposing and harmonious scene.

Qiu Muyun was stunned on the spot the moment he stepped into the small courtyard. He thought that he had come to the wrong place. When did this place become like this? It wasn’t like this when he came back last time.

At this moment, a few people walked out of the house.

“Master, you should celebrate your victory. There’s nothing you can’t say. In my opinion, when Sister is ready to announce it to the entire city, we can let everyone be happy. We can’t hide such a happy thing.”

Little Man followed Li Yuanqing and chattered like a clingy little follower.

During this period of time, in order to protect the safety of Ping City, the Man-eating Vine, Little Man, had been dutifully guarding this protective array, constantly preparing to guard Ping City.

She did not go out to play with Li Yuanqing. The news had gradually spread throughout the city after Li Yuanqing had eliminated all the demon leaders, and the demons outside had already dispersed.

They could not believe that the demon leaders had been killed, but the fact that the demons had fled in all directions could not be denied.

Recently, there was a rumor in Ping City that the crisis had passed and they had obtained a complete victory.

The demons had taken the initiative to flee, so they had completely escaped danger. However, many people were still quite cautious and were not as happy as they were the first time.

Qiu Muyun stared blankly at Li Yuanqing, who was walking out of the house. Why did he feel that his face had become younger after not seeing him for a while?

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, why are you back? I heard that you’re doing well in the Treasure Pavilion and have already become a second-grade Weapon Refinement Master.”

Qiu Muyun replied very politely, “It’s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Li’s nurturing. If you hadn’t given me that intermediate weapon refinement technique back then, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have my current achievements.”

“Brother, you’re too polite. It’s still you who have a high comprehension ability. Otherwise, even if there was a sudden battle with that array formation, I’m afraid ordinary people would never be able to reach your achievements.”

Qiu Muyun lowered his head shyly after being praised by Li Yuanqing and took out the gift he had prepared.

“Brother Li, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I’ve been back a few times during this period of time, but I was unlucky every time I came back. Coincidentally, you weren’t around, so I didn’t have time to specially thank you. I’m quite lucky today to have bumped into you. Take this gift as a token of my appreciation. Don’t mind it.”

Qiu Muyun took out an exquisite small wooden box and handed it to Li Yuanqing.

“What is this?” Li Yuanqing looked at him curiously.

Qiu Muyun scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “It’s a consumable Dharma artifact that I saw in the weapon refinement manual. I saw the introduction of it, and it was quite powerful, so I refined it. I wanted to try it out myself.”

Only then did Li Yuanqing open the box. It was as he had said. There was a small black ball lying quietly inside.

This small ball was quite similar to the one Da Mingkong had taken out, but its quality was much worse.

The bomb that Da Mingkong had taken out to fight to the death had already been put away by Li Yuanqing. Just by looking at it, the black ball gave off an extremely powerful feeling.

Qiu Muyun’s handmade product had many flaws, but it was a token of his appreciation.

Li Yuanqing solemnly closed the small wooden box again.

“I’m already very happy that you have this thought.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he casually took out a book that he had copied. Written on it was “Advanced Weapon Refinement Manual”.

Qiu Muyun was originally just looking curiously, but when he saw these words, his eyes widened.

“What? Brother Li, where did you get this from?” He took the treasure with both hands in shock. His hands could not help but tremble.

“I’ve also studied this book carefully and realized that there are many things to learn. I believe it will be very helpful to you.”

Qiu Muyun widened his eyes and looked at Li Yuanqing.

“Brother Li, this is a divine book on weapon refinement that has been lost for many years!” Qiu Muyun pushed the book back. “How can I get such a precious book from you? I definitely can’t take this book!”

Most of the things in this world could be measured in price.

After Qiu Muyun stepped into this industry, he also did some research. He did not know much, but just casually understanding some relevant information made him tremble in fear.

Back then, Li Yuanqing had casually handed him the beginner weapon refinement manual. Its market value was also priceless. If he went to a shop to ask, he would not be able to get this book without hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

From this, it could be seen how powerful this book was.

However, Li Yuanqing had given it to him so casually. Therefore, Qiu Muyun had always felt guilty and grateful to Li Yuanqing because of this.

Not only did Li Yuanqing accept him when he first arrived, but he also supported him.

There was no need to mention about this Advanced Weapon Refinement Manual. Basically, anyone he visited who was good at refining weapons had only heard rumors about this. No one had seen this legendary divine book.

All Weapon Refinement Masters set their lifelong goal of being able to see its true appearance. However, even so, many people died with hatred and never had the chance to see it.

However, Li Yuanqing took out the book just like that. He did not use any tricks, as if he was taking out pills that he had a lot of.

He felt extremely guilty towards Li Yuanqing to begin with, and now he felt even more so.

Li Yuanqing smiled at him and said, “Brother Qiu, if you still treat me as a brother, keep this book. This book was written for future generations to see and learn. If everyone keeps such books for themselves, this knowledge will be buried in the vast world.”

Qiu Muyun was about to cry when he heard Li Yuanqing’s words. “Brother Li, you’re kind-hearted and magnanimous. Your knowledge is not something I can compare to.”

Li Yuanqing forcefully stuffed the manual into his hand. “I’ll leave this book with you. Study it well. Don’t bury it, that will be the greatest reward for me.”

Even though his subconscious told Qiu Muyun that this book was too precious and that he could not accept it, he could not control his hands. When he saw this ancient book that only existed in legends, he could not help but reach out to accept it.

“Thank you, Brother Li!”

The Man-eating Vine at the side watched as the two of them dawdled. She curled her lips and teased, “The two of you are so dawdling. You’re even more dawdling than girls.”

Qiu Muyun smiled in embarrassment. “I’m sorry.”

“We’re organizing a celebration party here. Do you want to join us? It’s a joyous occassion as we had won such a huge victory.”

Only then did Little Man remember that she was still carrying a large bucket of wine in her arms. She hurriedly walked to the long table in the middle of the courtyard and placed it down.

“A celebration party? I wonder what it’s for?”

Little Man said casually, “What else can we celebrate? Of course it’s to celebrate the demons being chased away by us.”

“What? You mean the demons have really retreated now?”

Even though there were accurate observations outside that could confirm that the demons had indeed retreated to a distant place, everyone in the city was not especially sure about this matter. They definitely could not be completely at ease.

“Of course. The four leaders are all dead now and have long run away without a trace.” Little Man looked at Li Yuanqing proudly. She did not say how the four leaders died. She still had to keep some secrets for her master.

Qiu Muyun looked at Little Man in shock and grabbed her arm. “Really? The leaders of the demons are really all dead?”

Little Man frowned at him and said, “What are you doing? You’re hurting my arm.”

“I’m sorry, I was indeed a little agitated just now. However, demons have surrounded the city. How did you confirm that the Great Lords are already dead?”

This matter sounded too unbelievable. Perhaps those lords were all alive and well and had just changed their targets at the last minute. However, he could not help but think that it’s true when he saw that Little Man was so convinced that those people were already dead.

Little Man blinked at him and said, “Believe it or not, I don’t know if this is true or not. It could be true or fake.”

However, at the same time, a strange news spread throughout Ping City.

This news announced that the reason why the demons besieging outside had retreated was because their four lords had already died.

It was unknown who spread the news, but the moment this news spread, the entire Ping City was in an uproar. They were all very shocked by such news. It was difficult to tell if this news was true or false.

“Are the four Great Lords really dead?”

“How can it be? It’s definitely just gossip. I wonder who’s bragging. Haven’t you heard of those four famous people? No one in this world can do anything to them with their combat strength.”

The humans in Ping City discussed spiritedly. They thought how good it would be if such news was true, but they vaguely wanted to tell themselves that it was very difficult for such a thing to happen.

“Why could it not happen? I’m afraid this news is most likely true. Otherwise, how could those demons suddenly disappear halfway with their temper? Don’t you think this matter is very strange?”

Along with this news was the City Lord Manor’s decree to open the city.

Whether the four Great Lords died or not, the demons were no longer a threat to Ping City.
