Shang Wu almost didn't even think about it, and said with an unfriendly expression:
"Let him stay with you? Old man, do you want to steal my Disciple?"
"Who cares about your Disciple! This old man is keeping the Ancestral Master's Profound Weapon!"
Elder Han He was surprisingly resolute.
Even if this matter reached the Sect Master, he would be in the right.
Also...
Shang Wu's worries were not entirely groundless.
To be recognized by the Panjie Meteor Hammer, if a Disciple of Shenbing Peak, it would be a certainty to be the next Peak Master Elder.
"Elder Han He wouldn't want to keep me here to forge, would he?"
Li Mo vaguely sensed a hint.
That certainly wouldn't do.
Staying here every day, how could he fleece... uh, how could he cling to the Ice Cube's jade leg?
"If Li Zhenchuan stays here, Shenbing Peak will cover all your future expenses."
The next moment.
Elder Han He's deep voice came.
It was full of temptation.
Clearly, he was prepared to pay a hefty price.
"Elder, what are you saying? My Master is unyielding, how could she abandon her Disciple for mere gain."
"Right, Master... Master?"
Li Mo finished speaking righteously.
He turned around to see his Master had lost her previous aggressive Aura, her beautiful eyes somewhat unfocused, as if she was calculating a comfortable life with unlimited fine wine and delicacies in the future.
He strongly suspected she could even hear the jingle of silver right now.
Xiao Li: "..."
It seemed he had underestimated Master's poverty and greed...
Li Mo whispered, "Master, has Autumn Water Pavilion ever lacked fine food and wine for you? If I stay at Shenbing Peak, no one will cook for you anymore!"
Shenbing Peak's weapons sold widely and indeed brought in a lot of money.
But it probably couldn't compare to his own 'making something out of nothing' for quick money.
Moreover, he was never afraid of being eaten poor; instead, he would become richer and richer due to investment feedback.
"Hmm, I'm not that kind of person."
The beautiful Master's eyes instantly cleared, and she nodded seriously.
"Elder, you worry too much, this Disciple has a modest family fortune." freewebnøvel.com
Li Mo cupped his hands towards Elder Han He.
"How much could you possibly have..."
Clang—
Two large, gleaming pieces of metal crashed onto the ground.
Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped slightly, as if these two pieces of metal were absorbing heat.
Elder Han He's smiling expression froze, then he fell into deep thought.
Iron essence.
Ten thousand pounds of iron, one ounce of essence.
Ordinary weapons, with just a trace, could cut hair and slice through metal like mud.
These two large pieces of iron essence, even if Shenbing Peak used the Cold Flame Spring Water and all its Disciples hammered until smoke came out of their hammers, they would struggle to produce them in three years.
Clang—
Another dull thud.
A fist-sized, reddish-orange piece of metal fell to the ground.
"Hiss..."
Elder Han He completely lost his composure.
Flame Rock Copper Ore.
It could only be born when a volcanic area happened to have a mineral vein, and the Ore within was tempered by ground fire for over ten thousand years, and then it could only be obtained through a volcanic eruption.
The Chixiao Sword contained this kind of Material.
You call this... a modest family fortune?
Old Man Han began to ponder the origin of the Legacy Li Mo had obtained.
Shang Wu was also pondering this question.
The powerful individual who left this Legacy, was he perhaps a merchant in the past?
Or was he a notorious brigand who plundered countless riches?
"This Disciple is not a blacksmith, these two rare treasures are like pearls cast before swine."
"Elder, you are a renowned grand artisan of Ziyang Prefecture, and only you can make them truly useful."
Xiao Li knew how to flatter old men.
Elder Han He fell silent.
After a long while, he sighed:
"Shang Wu, your Disciple is much better at dealing with people than you are. I'm no longer worried about him causing endless trouble with the Profound Weapon."
Shang Wu: "?"
Han He didn't look at her much, turned his head back, and said in a deep voice:
"Li Mo, if you can accomplish three things, then why shouldn't this old man help you achieve your goals?"
"Elder, please speak."
Li Mo readily complied.
"First, if Shenbing Peak ever needs to forge a Profound Weapon in the future, and it requires the Panjie Meteor Hammer, you, as the weapon's Master, must assist."
"Second, before your strength is sufficient, the matter of the Profound Weapon must not be widely publicized. Apart from me and your Master, no outsiders should know."
"Third, do not let the Ancestral Master's Profound Weapon be stained with unjust blood."
On the last point, Elder Han He emphasized his tone.
"That is only right."
Xiao Li did not hesitate.
These conditions were already more lenient than he had expected.
Even if Elder Han He hadn't mentioned them, he would have done so.
"Good, you may go."
Elder Han He waved his hand wearily.
"This old man is so easy to talk to today." Shang Wu raised an eyebrow, a little unaccustomed to it.
Li Mo bowed to Elder Han He, then pulled his Master and walked out.
We got a good deal, so let's not gloat.
Watching the Master and Disciple leave.
"The Profound Weapon finally has a Master, and it ultimately ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ fell to Qunyu Peak."
"It didn't go to Shang Wu, but to her Disciple instead..."
"The ways of the world are wonderfully inexplicable..."
Elder Han He murmured with emotion.
.....
On the way down the mountain.
"Baby Disciple, you're quite clever, aren't you?"
Shang Wu squinted her almond eyes, one hand on her hip, her other delicate arm draped over her Disciple's shoulder, laughing ungracefully:
"Not bad, not bad. To be able to fool Old Man Han He so thoroughly, you've already reached sixty to eighty percent of my skill."
"It can't really be called fooling, can it...?"
Being arm-in-arm with his Master, who was about his height, Xiao Li cleared his throat.
"Hmph, hmph, you little brat, you even fool your Master?"
"Where's the Hammer? Let this Master take a look."
Shang Wu had an 'I know everything' expression.
Li Mo said with a wry smile, "I really can't take it out."
Are you kidding?
It took him an immense effort to get it in.
He hadn't fully recovered yet, and to empower the World Seed again?
Master, do you believe I'll demonstrate falling apart on the spot?
"Hmph, heartless."
Shang Wu sniffled, her pretty face falling.
Li Mo: "... Master, did you really want to sell me just now?"
"Hehe... hehe, how could that be?"
Shang Wu's gaze shifted elsewhere.
"That was merely Master's test, to see if your Qunyu Peak was wholeheartedly devoted."
"Master, you're feeling guilty."
"Bold Rebellious Disciple, how dare you question your Master? Do you want to rebel against the natural order!"
Master's footsteps clearly quickened, her fiery red palace dress fluttering.
Li Mo sighed softly: "Master, how about aged bamboo green wine with roast whole lamb tonight?"
Xiao Li used his control skill.
"How many years aged?"
"Thirty years."
The control skill was remarkably effective.
........
A moment later.
The Master and Disciple returned under the stars, laden with goods.
As soon as Li Mo pushed open the door, he saw the girl's figure, sitting at their usual stone table, slowly sipping tea, a long sword on her lap reflecting the moonlight.
"I thought you had gone back to your room to cultivate."
"I haven't had dinner yet."
The Ice Cube said so.
Xiao Li was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky.
The moon was dim, indicating that the night was almost over.
"But it's almost time for breakfast." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Is it?"
Ying Bing also looked up at the moon, her delicate brows furrowed in confusion.
What kind of time concept do you have?
Who relies on eating to tell time!
Li Mo complained weakly and went to cook.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze for a moment, then looked at Shang Wu and asked softly:
"What happened in Shenfeng Cave today?"
This was yet another thing that exceeded her expectations.
