In this underground prison that never sees the light of day, although his strength has been promoted to the fourth level, no one knows about it.
Refining weapons to the level of quasi-sacred weapons is also just self-reflection.
This is undoubtedly a blow to a weapon-refining genius who rose to fame many years ago.
"Practitioners pursue eternal life, and weapon refiners pursue the pinnacle of weapon refining. Teacher, in my opinion, the title is just a temporary fame, and strength is the foundation." Wei Ci met the teacher's somewhat lonely gaze and comforted him.
Kuang Xun looked calm: "Although what you said is not unreasonable, the existence of the title is a reverence for the strong and is also a symbol of the status and reputation of the practitioner when walking on the mainland.
"You should be able to imagine the importance of fame to a weapon-making family like the Kuang family.
"It means endless resources and connections, which are indispensable for the development of a family."
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
Wei Ci couldn't help but lament that his teacher's fortunes were indeed quite poor, yet he was trapped here in his prime.
But doubts also came.
Kuang Xun has now reached the fourth level of strength. He can leave through the door he came from, but he is still here focusing on refining weapons and has never left.
In addition, as the leading weapon refiner family, the Kuang family is not weak in strength, so why would they let their direct descendants wander away?
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Kuang Xun said calmly: "I stayed here initially to fulfill a five-year agreement."
5-year agreement?
It's no wonder. He had seen before that although his teacher was forced to refine weapons here, he seemed to be somewhat willing to do so.
"My Kuang family has a heritage token, the 'Golden Kite', which was left behind in the Jiang family. Five years ago, I made a deal with them to exchange for the 'Golden Kite' for five years of refining the weapon." Kuang Xun continued.
Five years ago... five years of refining weapons, isn't that this year! It seems that Kuang Yue will leave sooner or later.
"What is the 'Golden Kite'?"
"An engraved knife."
this……
What kind of engraved knife is worthy of a weapon-refining genius like Kuang Xun condescending to stay here for five years?
Wei Ci could not hide his curiosity.
"The 'Golden Kite' itself is just a quasi-sacred weapon-level inscription engraving knife, but for the weapon refiners of the inscription lineage, it is a treasure that can cut iron like mud. It has a powerful blessing for the inscriptions, and even more
Importantly, it is also a token of the head of the Kuang family." Kuang Xun explained.
"This is a long story. Many years ago, my father mysteriously disappeared after an outing. However, at an auction a few years later, my brother and I saw his exclusive engraved engraving knife 'Gold
kite'.
"For this reason, we tried to buy it at all costs, but its consignor was the Jiang family. They claimed that they had information about the previous owner of the 'Golden Kite'. As long as the bidder is an artifact refiner and has been refining artifacts for the Jiang family for 5 years.
Can be traded.
"At that time, my grandfather, Kuang Qinghe, the current acting head of the family and the vice president of the Weapon Masters Union, was not around. For the sake of the "Golden Kite", my brother and I agreed to the Jiang family's request out of desperation.
"In the end, the 'Golden Kite' was brought back to the family by my brother, and I came to the Jiang family to refine weapons for him."
…
Kuang Xun told the story of these years in one breath, and Wei Ci felt as if he was listening to a story.
What happened to my master can be called bizarre.
Both Kuang Xun and he now underestimated the capabilities of the Jiang family.
In fact, after arriving at the Jiang family for more than a year, Kuang Xun realized that the original auction was unusual. The appearance of the "Golden Kite" was too coincidental, as if it was entirely for the two Kuang brothers.
After Kuang Xun came to the Jiang family, the Kuang family coincided with the appointment of the acting head of the family. Since Kuang Qinghe no longer interfered in family affairs, Kuang Yue became the acting head of the Kuang family without hesitation.
After that, Kuang Yue did not have too many negotiations with the Jiang family.
Kuang Xun, the genius of the family, seemed to have been forgotten and stayed silently in the Jiang family for several years.
The past was like clouds and smoke in the past. After Kuang Xun finished speaking, he fell into some kind of memory. Wei Ci did not interrupt him knowingly and continued to practice the inscriptions.
Cultivation has not lasted for many years. One of the master and the disciple is willing to teach, and the other is willing to learn. Another month has passed like this.
During this period, Wei Ci learned a lot of knowledge about weapon refining that he had never been exposed to before.
Under Kuang Xun's guidance, he has been able to refine the intermediate inscribed magic weapon.
At the same time, the tempering of skin, flesh, bones, and blood at the second stage of "Perfection of Heaven" has finally made progress, and his skin has truly reached the level of being as warm as jade and as flexible as leather.
The cultivation of flesh and blood is much slower, and the tempering of every inch of flesh and blood is surprisingly slow.
On this day, after Wei Ci refined several inscribed arrows again, Kuang Xun told him that he had nothing more to teach him.
"With your current knowledge and talent in weapon refining, you have completely surpassed me back then. Even among the younger generation of the Kuang family, you are definitely the best. If you want to improve in the future, you will mainly rely on continuous practice and self-understanding.
"Boy Wei, if the teacher guessed correctly, before you entered this secret room, you originally wanted to take a boat to the main land, right?"
The reason why Kuang Xun asked this was mainly because Wei Ci had intentionally or unintentionally inquired about some situations on the main continent during this period. In addition, at the beginning, Wei Ci was happy when he saw the two ship ticket tokens in Jiang Yan's relics.
Some guesses.
"This secret room was built especially for me by the Jiang family. It usually takes about half a year for someone to come and take away the refining materials and replenish the refining materials.
"The time for the latest one is almost here. Get ready to go out. Two months have passed. I think the matter of you killing Jiang Yan should have been settled."
Wei Ci felt warm in his heart as he listened to Kuang Xun talking about himself.
It turns out that the teacher has always been thinking about him.
He asked: "Teacher, since you have title-level strength, why don't you leave quietly after five years?"
Kuang Xun glanced at the silly apprentice and said, "Do you think the Jiang family is stupid? I have the soul mark left by the Jiang family's great enshrinement on my body. Once this mark disappears or moves, they will be able to detect it quickly."
Wei Ci felt a little sad for him.
I scanned it mentally and found nothing about the so-called soul mark.
This is normal. The strength of a family's great minister will not be weak. Even Kuang Xun can't do anything about it. Wei Ci's strength is not as good as Kuang Xun's, so it makes sense that he can't find it.
Wei Ci actually had some guesses about Kuang Xun, but he couldn't say it out loud.
The Jiang family obviously had bad intentions in auctioning the 'Golden Kite'. If they wanted to show favor to the Kuang family, they could have traded it privately with the Kuang family instead of auctioning it.
In addition, after Kuang Xun came to the Jiang family, his brother Kuang Yue became the acting head of the family. It was too coincidental. And Kuang Xun stayed in the Jiang family for such a long time and was even placed under house arrest in the dark. The Kuang family seemed to have done nothing.
.
This is enough to tell a lot of information.
I'm afraid Kuang Yue is not the "good brother" that Kuang Xun thought he was.
Wei Ci even suspected that the Jiang family's auction of the "Golden Kite" might be inextricably linked to Kuang Yue. Even though five years have passed, the Kuang family has not sent anyone to respond immediately.
This is enough to explain some situations.
As Kuang Xun's elder brother, Kuang Yue must know that once Kuang Xun returns, it will definitely pose a threat to his status as acting head of the family.
So the best case scenario is that Kuang Xun will never return, and if he is more ruthless, he might as well die outside.
Therefore, if Kuang Xun wants to leave here, I am afraid that the greatest possibility will have to be placed on Kuang Qinghe.
As Kuang Xun's biological grandfather, if Kuang Qinghe knew the inside story, he would not stand by and watch what happened to him.
"Boy Wei, actually, I have some selfish motives for accepting you as my disciple. Originally, I wanted to rely on the relationship between master and apprentice to let you inquire about the situation of the Kuang family for me after arriving in the main continent, and after arriving in Yunliu
Report my situation to my grandfather.
"However, in you, I see the shadow of my past, which makes me truly regard you as the mantle of inheritance.
Kuang Xun looked at Wei Ci calmly and said slowly.
From his tone, Wei Ci could hear a hint of guilt and uneasiness in it.
From Kuang Xun's point of view, it was a bit regretful to plot against his apprentice and make him work for him, even if his original intention changed in the end. This may reflect his own powerlessness.
Wei Ci interrupted his next words and said: "Master, you don't have to be like this. Once you are a master, you will always be a father. It is reasonable for an apprentice to do something for the master. You are willing to accept me as your apprentice and teach you the art of weapon refining."
Reason, you have been kind enough to teach me and resolve my doubts.
"Even if you don't tell me, I will still find a way to tell Senior Kuang Qinghe about your situation. What's more, if you hadn't rescued me, I would have been caught by the Jiang family and died."
When Kuang Xun heard what Wei Ci said, he couldn't help feeling relieved.
He stopped discussing the topic and said seriously: "According to Lancheng's past management, the ferry will probably open in the near future. Make good preparations and set off."
Wei Ci looked stern. The teacher was right. The ferry's opening time was indeed approaching, with less than a month left.
"Teacher, do you have anything you can disguise yourself into?"
"Disguise?" Kuang Xun was a little confused, but then he realized that Wei Ci had killed a direct descendant of the Jiang family and was wanted all over the place. If he continued to show up with this face, it would be a problem for him to get on the ship and even walk in the city.
He frowned slightly: "There are many ways to change one's appearance, but usually they use martial arts to change one's appearance, and there are very few ways to use external objects to change one's appearance.
"You prepare the rest first, and I will try to refine it for the next few days."
As he spoke, he took out a small pile of colorful scales and began to study them immediately.
Wei Ci could tell at a glance that they were the scales of a five-color lizard. The scales of low-level five-color lizards were all gray, and colored scales could only be produced by exotic beasts that reached the lord level or above.
The teacher is worthy of being a quasi-sage master, and he has such things in reserve.
There are very few five-color lizards, and even fewer can reach the lord level. He has hunted thousands of strange beasts, but he has not been able to encounter even one, but he saw one in the hands of his teacher.
The five-color lizard that can change its own color may actually be able to refine items that can be disguised in terms of its refining attributes.
Kuang Xun saw the surprise in his eyes and said slyly: "Haha, the Jiang family will imprison the master here to refine the weapon, but they have to provide the materials. In addition to the improvement of cultivation and weapon refining in the past few years, he has gained nothing else.
