Chapter 176 Departure
After Huan Yin handed over the sword, several people on the opposite side looked at him with wide eyes and said nothing for a long time.
There are many monks in Helianzhi's clan who use swords, so the art of making swords is also highly valued in their clan. They know how difficult it is to make swords, especially since Jizhou has a harsh environment and lack of resources. It is even more difficult for them to make swords.
There are many weapon masters in Helianzhi's clan, and one of them even passed the Yangzhou Yijian Peak weapon master selection test. They had all seen swordsmiths forging swords, but even the master swordsmith in the clan who had passed the sword master selection test at Yijian Peak could not make a sword as lightly as Huan Yin. What's more, Huan Yin only used such a little time and three inconspicuous materials to forge a third-grade sword.
The inconspicuous little sand house where Huan Yin lived suddenly became a bit mysterious in the eyes of He Lianzhi and his party. The person who lived here before was a weird and brilliant alchemist, and now he was replaced by an older man. The gentle swordsmith.
It took a while for Helianzhi to react. He bowed to Huan Yin sincerely: "Master Huan, how many spiritual stones does this sword cost?" After saying this, Helianzhi pointed to Huan Yin and handed it to him. The third-grade immortal sword.
Huan Yin shook his head: "This sword will be given to fellow Taoist." Huan Yin had a good impression of Helianzhi, so he was not prepared to ask Helianzhi what he wanted in return. Moreover, he was just forging swords here to practice his skills. When others asked him to make swords, he only charged a very low fee for spiritual stones.
When Helianzhi saw Huan Yin shaking his head, he immediately showed a reproachful look on his face. He shook his head many times faster than Huan Yin: "Master forges a sword, how can you ask for nothing? This is absolutely impossible, Master Huan If you don’t want spiritual stones, Helianzhi can also find other things for the master.”
Huan Yin was helpless, so he added, "Fellow Taoist, just give me a spiritual stone."
Helianzhi was stunned by Huan Yin's words, and immediately grabbed it: "Master, the conditions in Tianqi City are too bad today, and you can't make swords here properly. If Master doesn't give up, it's better to forge swords among the subordinates. , There are a lot of good materials and resources in the clan below. Whatever the master wants, Helianzhi will fight for it.”
At this point in Helianzhi's words, his intention was extremely obvious. In the past, he recruited beards and never got discouraged despite repeated failures. Now that the alchemist has been replaced by a weapon master, it is probably no different for him. Therefore, he would naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
However, how could Huan Yin agree to Helianzhi? After all, he is injured, and recuperating in this abandoned city is his best choice now, and sword-making is just a way of life here for him. After recovering from his injury, Huan Yin wanted to rush back to Yangzhou and return to his master's school.
"Fellow Daoist Helian, this shop was given to me by Huzi. I think I'd better take care of it." Naturally, Huan Yin couldn't tell Helianzhi the truth. After all, he was alone outside and couldn't be defenseless. heart. This time he came out and experienced too much, and he was no longer the straightforward young monk he had been many years ago.
However, Helianzhi still refused to give up and continued to say to Huan Yin: "Master Huan, Helianzhi is sincerely seeking talents and has no ill intentions. No matter what Master needs, you can speak out. If Helianzhi is incompetent, If you are satisfied, then you will naturally look back without any entanglement, and please ask the master to think about it again.”
Huan Yin shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Helian, if you need to make a sword, you are welcome to come here at any time. Huan Yin will not let you down."
Finally, Helianzhi sighed heavily and left with the other three people.
However, from that day on, Helianzhi would come to Huan Yin's Wuliang Sword Workshop at least once a month, and every time he would bring things such as spiritual stones, precious sword-making materials, magic weapons, etc., hoping to invite Huan Yin. Help him. Of course, Huan Yin always politely declined Helianzhi's kindness.
Huan Yin's time passed quickly as he continued to recover from his injuries, practice his cultivation, and forge swords. This year, he has never left Tianqi City. He rarely even leaves his own hut, which is very similar to the previous beard.
On this day, Helianzhi came to Huan Yin's house again, hoping to invite Huan Yin to forge swords among his clan. At this moment, there were only two young followers following him. The old man did not know where he had gone.
"Master Huan, there are three million spiritual stones in here, as well as several precious sword-making materials. Don't answer me in a hurry. Take a look at the contents first." He Lianzhi took out a storage bag It was handed to Huan Yin.
Huan Yin had been in contact with Helianzhi for this year and got to know him a little bit. He knew that he was the young leader of the White Tiger Tribe in the far north of Jizhou. Although their White Tiger Clan cannot compare with those big cultivation sects, they are still quite prestigious in Jizhou, so Helianzhi's status in Jizhou is quite high.
Huan Yin didn't know if there was any special reason why Helianzhi was so eager for talents, but he could see the sincerity in Helianzhi's eyes every time, and he could realize that Helianzhi really valued talents. Fancy.
Huan Yin pushed back the storage bag handed over by He Lianzhi, shook his head and said, "Fellow He Lian, I'm really sorry, please come back." During this year, Huan Yin has rejected He Lianzhi. Too many times, he really couldn't find any reason and could only refuse like this.
"Master Huan, if you don't have enough spirit stones or if you want anything else, you can tell me, Master Huan." Helianzhi stood up and bowed deeply to Huan Yin, with a hint of emotion in his tone. The meaning of begging.
How could Huan Yin think that Helian Zhi's offer was not good enough? It was just that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. This was the teaching of his father that Huan Yin had never forgotten. What he was thinking about most now was how to return to the sect, so it was impossible for him to agree to Helian Zhi.
"Fellow Daoist Helian, please go back." Huan Yin stretched out his hand and directly issued an order to expel him.
The faces of the two followers behind Helian Zhi had long been filled with resentment. After all, their young clan leader promised so many rewards and was so sincere, but Huan Yin always refused, which really seemed a bit ungrateful. However, apart from showing a disappointed expression every time, Helian Zhi never said anything more.
Finally, Helian Zhi stood up again, just like he had stood up countless times in this year, and then bowed to Huan Yin very politely, saying: "Master Huan, Helian Zhi is leaving." Then he stood up and went out.
After Helian Zhi and his followers left, Huan Yin stood up, turned around and looked carefully at the hut where he had lived for a year, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"Hu Zi, I hope we can meet again." Huan Yin said softly, then he packed up some things on the table, turned around and walked out of the room, and closed the door carefully.
Huan Yin walked outside the house, looked at the "Wulian Sword Workshop" he had written a year ago, and then he stretched out his hand and wiped out the four words.
Huan Yin had already eaten the "immortal pill" given to him by Hu Zi in this year, and with his daily recuperation, his injuries had completely recovered.
As for Huan Yin's current cultivation, he himself didn't know what realm he was in. Because Hu Zi's "immortal pill" seemed to have the effect of suppressing cultivation, keeping him in the fifth level of Qi Condensation, it seemed that this would help him recover from his injuries. Huan Yin naturally did not take the initiative to break the suppression of his cultivation, but he was still as diligent as before in his cultivation during this year. In addition, he had a deep foundation before, so he believed that as long as he broke the suppression of his cultivation, he would be able to reach the state of concentration in an instant. And he felt that his cultivation would never be as simple as that in the early stage of concentration.
So, Huan Yin was leaving now. He was going back to Yangzhou to meet his master, to see his brothers, and to meet his beloved. Moreover, he was also afraid that Helian Zhi would come to him again. He felt that he was about to agree to Helian Zhi's request.
"Wait for your next destined person." Huan Yin murmured softly, then turned and walked towards the gate of Tianqi City.
...
"Young clan leader, please forgive me for being blunt, why do you have to lower your status and repeatedly invite that Huan Yin. He is just a cultivator with the fifth level of Qi Condensation, but he is only slightly familiar with the way of sword-making. It is not worth it for you to do so." At this moment, Helian Zhi was flying to the clan with his two followers, and it was one of the followers who just spoke to him.
"Yes, young clan leader, that guy named Huan Yin is too ungrateful. You promised him so much in return, and you have invited him for a whole year. What is his virtue?" Another follower echoed.
Helian Zhi sighed heavily and said, "Hey, the Tiger Devouring Tribe is getting stronger and stronger, and we can't suppress it anymore. What our tribe lacks most now is talent. As long as we can get help from experts, we will have a better chance of winning. Moreover, I think Master Huan is a good person. He must have his own difficulties if he doesn't want to help me."
"Hey, young clan leader, the situation between the enemy and our tribe is tense now, and the elders in the tribe can no longer go out with you. With the cultivation of the three of us, it is hard to guarantee that we will not be targeted if we go out so frequently, not to mention that you are carrying so many precious materials and spirit stones. In my opinion, we should be more cautious." The follower who spoke first said worriedly.
Helian Zhi listened to him and nodded. It is indeed as the follower said just now. The one with the highest cultivation among the three is Helian Zhi, who is only in the late stage of concentration. As for the two followers, they are only in the early stage of concentration. If they are not careful, it is hard to prevent accidents.
"If you have any valuable materials and spiritual stones that you can't keep, we can help you keep them. The young patriarch of the White Tiger Tribe, Helian Zhi." As the three were flying, a voice suddenly came from right in front of them, which made the three of them terrified instantly.
