"Ten years ago, my teacher Yue Jue, in order to fulfill his lifelong wish, searched for bright stones all over the world. He traveled all over the country and passed Lieshan Mountain. He saw something different in the rocks and felt something in his heart. So he chiseled the mountain, drained the stream, and took the iron.

I gathered the talents of Liuhe and spent six years crafting this sword."

"It takes six years to make a sword?"

"Yes."

"Since it took six years of hard work to complete, why hasn't it been sharpened yet?"

"There were two missing materials. When this sword was first completed, my master was exhausted mentally and physically, so he became bedridden. He soon died. He said before his death that this sword must come out."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slowly. At this time, Liu Yuzhi, who was behind him, also came over and whispered in his ear: "My Lord, Yue Jue is the best swordsmith in the world. Even King Yan's King Sword is now.

I also ask for its casting.”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and then he faced the young man and said, "But your master has been weeping for six years, and finally the sword has just been finished. There is still this last process, which is also the most important process. If the sword is

It has no edge, so why is it a sword?"

"This is my teacher's most satisfying work, and also the most dissatisfying work." The young man said: "The most satisfying thing is that it is a magic weapon in the world. The most dissatisfying thing is that it failed to fulfill its wish and only missed

That step has been reached, therefore, if anyone can sharpen the edge, I will offer this sword with both hands."

"It can't be sharpened by filing it with a grindstone?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"What do Duke Qin think?" the young man asked with a wry smile.

"Okay." Xiao Yuan felt he had made a mistake. Everyone had said so. If he could use the knife normally, there would be no need to search for people everywhere.

At this time, the young man said again: "This sword was once given to the King of Jin, but was abandoned. It was also offered to the King of Wu, and was also abandoned. Now, I have found the Duke of Qin, but I don't know if it can be revealed."

Obviously, this was his master's dying wish. It didn't matter whose hands the sword was in. What was important was that it was his painstaking work and the sword he was most satisfied with in his life. As long as it could come out, that would be enough.

"What kind of materials are needed?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"Use the extremely cold stone to blunt its sharpness, and use the water of the cold pond to forge its edge." The young man said directly.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion, because he had never heard of the extremely cold stone at all. He couldn't help but glance at Liu Yuzhi, who also shook his head slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yuan sheathed the sword and returned it to the young man, saying: "Your Excellency, please stay in Qinzhou until I look for this thing."

He handed the sword with one hand, but the young man pushed it back and said seriously: "The Duke of Qin is no different from a king. All the kings in the world have abandoned this sword, but the Duke of Qin regards it as a treasure, so this sword is

I am destined to Duke Qin. If Duke Qin cannot find the Extremely Cold Stone and Cold Pool Water, it will not be too late to return them to me."

Obviously, the young man is unable to sharpen this sword. It does not mean that he has no skills, but that he does not have the materials. With his own strength, he has been searching for a long time but has not found these two things. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find these two things.

Offer it to the kings.

He needs to fulfill his master's last wish and make this sword come out, so he can only rely on the strength of the person in power. The king is undoubtedly the best candidate.

The reason why he shouted everywhere and offered sky-high prices was simply to attract attention and make the matter bigger, and eventually spread it to Xiao Yuan's ears. Otherwise, he would not have stopped outside the prefect's mansion.

Seeing him pushing the sword back, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "That's okay. If there is any clue, I will send someone to tell you as soon as possible."

"So, I'll wait for the good news from Duke Qin." The young man saluted and left.

Looking at his back, Xiao Yuan lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand, then turned around and returned to the house.

At this time, Xu Hu couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but approached Xiao Yuan and curled his lips and said: "My lord, that guy is telling the truth. If you ask me to see it, he is lying."

"Oh? How can you see that? He said that his master is the best swordsmith in the world, but he didn't receive any gold or silver from me for this sword. If he was deceiving me, what was his purpose?" Xiao Yuan asked back.

"This..." Xu Hu couldn't answer it, but after a pause, he said: "My lord, can I take a look at this sword?"

"Of course." Xiao Yuan handed it to him without thinking much.

The latter took it, unsheathed it, and after observing it, he curled his lips and said: "This is just a broken sword without an edge! What's so special about it? If you don't believe it, my lord, I'll try it for you."

As he spoke, he held the blade of the sword with both hands and began to bend it violently.

Xiao Yuan wanted to stop it, but it was too late. As for Xu Hu's power, he knew very well that if this was an ordinary sword, it would have to be broken under such force.

But the sword didn't move, it didn't even bend.

"Huh!?" Xu Hu was greatly puzzled, showing a somewhat incredulous look, and then used force again, even pressing the sword blade against his knees.

Since it was not sharpened, both blades were very thick, so it could be held with all its strength. However, no matter how hard Xu Hu tried, the sword remained motionless and remained in its original shape.

"Lord!" Xu Hu was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan.

"What a sword!" Xiao Yuan was overjoyed and immediately said after taking the sword: "Hurry, Zhao Linchu meets me."

"Yes!" Xu Hu was also convinced at this time, and after hearing this, he clasped his fists and left.

Not long after, Lin Chu came quickly. After seeing Xiao Yuan, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, "My lord."

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan motioned him to stand up and said directly: "Have you ever heard of the extremely cold stone and the water of the cold pool?"

Lin Chu was stunned.

Xiao Yuan followed closely and said: "Go, send people to collect information, and be sure to find these two things."

"No!" After Lin Chu came to his senses, he first responded, and then said tentatively: "But my lord, the Hantan you just mentioned seems to exist among the lower-ranking clans?"

"What did you say!?" Xiao Yuan stood up.

"This..." Lin Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "There is indeed a cold pool in the clan, but... I just don't know if the master needs it."

"Well..." After hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, let's go to the Snow Clan first, and you can go down immediately to make arrangements."

"Yes!" Lin Chu took the order and left.

The next day, Xiao Yuan took the young sword seller and the elite of the Snow Clan and began to enter the snow mountain and go to the Snow Clan.

In Snow City.

Mu Lianying was still dressed in white like snow, holding a jade flute, and was playing with a group of children.

She looks as cold as ice, but in fact, she is soft on the inside. Otherwise, how could she behave like this and love children so much.

At this moment, a man from the Snow tribe came to report, saluted and said: "Holy girl, Lord Qin is here."

"What?" Mu Lianying was slightly surprised.

"Holy Saint, take us to play..." Seeing her stop, a group of children gathered around her again.

"Okay, okay, I'll play with you next time, be good..." Mu Lianying smiled warmly and touched a boy's head, then withdrew her smile and gave a slight gesture to the man.

The latter bowed and retreated.

Not long after, the two met.

Seeing that he still looked the same, still so cold, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly.

"well enough?"
Chapter completed!
