When he mentioned Tian Xingce, Yu Chifeng's expression immediately changed.
He reached out and pushed aside the pile of books next to him. He tried to stand up, but he didn't want to keep sitting cross-legged on the ground. His legs were already numb. Where could he still have the strength?
After being stunned for a moment, he sighed and said, "Oh, I'm getting old."
When Xia Chuyi heard these words, he felt a little astringent in his heart. He thought that the second master was only in his forties, how could he say such depressing words?
She didn't bother to care about how many days it had been since he took a shower. She quickly helped him sit on a chair, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Second Master, don't think too much. If you have anything to do, please tell me slowly."
At this time, the big guy over there had already picked out the weapon refining books. Yu Chifeng waved him out, and then he said with some dejection: "My dear disciple, do you know what is the biggest goal of a weapon refining master in his life?"
?”
Xia Chuyi glanced sideways at the letters on the floor, and couldn't help but lower his eyelids: "Second Master is not the kind of person who pursues fame and wealth, so the false title of King of Weapon Sect is not what you want, probably...
...You just want to refine a magic weapon that will be passed down through the ages."
Yu Chifeng reached out and patted Xia Chuyi on the shoulder, and said with great relief: "The old man's proudest thing in this life should be accepting you as his apprentice."
While he was talking, he was able to move his legs and feet. He stood up and squatted among the pile of letters. He picked up a book and handed it to Xia Chuyi's hand: "Take a look."
When Xia Chu first saw that the book was not a printed book, but a handwritten copy, the blue cover was yellowed but not broken. It should have been something that had been hidden for many years without being discovered.
When she opened the title page, she was immediately startled: "The autobiography of the thief ancestor Mu Buli!"
Yu Chifeng nodded: "This is just a part of his autobiography. You continue to read."
Xia Chuyi didn't know what this thing had to do with that day's plan. After hearing this, he immediately lowered his head and started reading carefully.
She was shocked every time she turned a page, and by the time she was halfway through it, she was already so surprised.
I thought to myself that the thief ancestor is really a rare talent in the world. He must be very intelligent to be able to do so many incredible things.
After reading it, she opened her mouth with a shocked look on her face, and it took her a long time to recover: "Did he steal Tian Xingce and put it in the Tianshu Tower?"
Thinking of the time when Long Yue asked her to get Tian Xingce, it seemed that it was when he was looking for the "Moon Viewing Map at the End of the World" in Linzhou. Could it be that he discovered the clues left by Mu Buli at that time, and then asked her to get it?
?
Now that I think about it, this possibility is extremely high.
Yu Chifeng was probably in a daze because he was tortured by Tian Xingce during this period. He didn't notice the tone of Xia Chuyi's words at all. What she said was, "He stole Tian Xingce and placed it in the Tianshu Tower."
", rather than "He originally placed Tian Xingce in the Tianshu Tower."
He nodded and continued: "Your master, the most regretful thing in my life is that I did not create this legendary magic weapon called Tianxingce. So when I got this book, I didn't think too much and went straight to the Book of Heaven.
I went to look for him upstairs."
"You... found it?" Xia Chuyi's heart thumped, thinking what kind of nonsense is this? If the master knew that he had stolen Tian Xingce, how should he explain it to him?
Yu Chifeng nodded helplessly: "I am a caster after all, and I can still find the place where the Sky Fire is hidden in the Tianshu Tower. But the difficulty lies in the Sky Fire. It must be taken out with thousands of years of mysterious ice, otherwise
Even if you are a Da Luo god, you can be burned to a pile of ashes within a few moments."
Xia Chuyi carefully recalled the scene when he and Feng Luo entered. Feng Luo said that the formation that suppressed the sky fire had been destroyed. It seemed that the second master tried to take it by force but failed. He probably did not expect that.
There is also a mysterious ice box for obtaining heavenly fire, so she, a latecomer, has an advantage.
"What happened next?" she asked curiously.
"Later, I searched the classics and wanted to dig a piece of thousand-year-old black ice in the far north to capture the sky fire. Unfortunately, the weather there was bad, the terrain was steep, and there were countless monsters and beasts. All the people who came with me were destroyed there."
At this point, Yuchifeng sighed again, feeling regretful that he had killed so many people for nothing just for a piece of black ice.
Xia Chuyi thought about how Yuchi Fengfengfenghuohuo took a group of people to the far north. She thought it was for some precious materials, but she didn't expect that it was to get the thousand-year-old mysterious ice.
The thousand-year-old ice is not everywhere. There is a coldest area in the far north. There is no living thing for several miles around. Once a person enters there, he can be frozen into ice in the blink of an eye. And there.
There is a small hot spring in the center of the area, which is steaming all year round and is extremely warm.
This thousand-year-old black ice is the solid ice floating in the hot spring. This kind of black ice is formed by the condensation of the heat evaporated from the hot spring water when it encounters the extremely cold air around it. However, the condensed ice will generally melt away. Only the thousand-year-old black ice will melt away.
Only ice cubes that do not melt can float on the hot spring water all year round. A piece as big as a palm is extremely precious.
The more precious something is, the stronger the protection around it is.
Everyone knows that the Far North is a famous gathering place for monsters. Without top-notch magical protection, breaking in would be simply overestimating one's capabilities and simply seeking death.
Yu Chifeng probably thought about Tian Xingce for too long, so this time he was inevitably a little eager for quick success, which led to the tragedy of a group of people leaving and only one person coming back.
Xia Chuyi could tell that although his master looked as bad-tempered as before, his face was gloomier than before, and he was obviously immersed in deep guilt.
Some people spend their entire lives trying to get something, but some people get it so easily. This is probably what people often say, fate.
She knelt down, picked up a few books and flipped through them. She frowned slightly and said, "Second Master, do you want to find something made of other materials to replace Xuanbing?"
"Well, I've basically gone through the collection of books here. There should be some more in the Tianshu Tower. You can help me look for them."
Yu Chifeng reached out and pinched the center of his eyebrows, his face showing indescribable fatigue.
The obsession that had existed in his heart for so many years was now more like a nightmare, haunting his heart and making him unable to even breathe.
He told Xia Chuyi the secret of Tian Xingce, perhaps for selfish reasons. He thought to himself that if she could forge Tian Xingce, maybe he wouldn't have to be so tired.
Xia Chuyi looked at Yu Chifeng's tired expression at this moment, and she didn't even have the last hesitation in her heart. She reached out and took out Tian Xingce from her storage bag, and said softly in a low voice: "Actually, you don't have to look for it.
