Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 451: Chapter 419: Refining Equipment_1

What shocked Yin Wen was not only the strength of the three, but more their identities.

There was no need to mention Xiao Tian Yuan, the Martial Saint of the Nation, the first man in Da Xia Nation. Mu Chen and Sheng TieFeng were equally the real Martial Arts Grandmasters in Da Xia Nation. They ranked second only to the Emperor and above all other citizens. She had once met them accompanied by Wu Chengbo, but with her status, she didn’t even qualify to speak to either of them.

Now, these esteemed characters, the pillars of Da Xia Nation, stood before Xu Mu like ordinary servants, all of this went beyond her comprehension.

She was reminded sharply of that recent conflict.

Could it be that the outcome wasn’t what I had thought?

Did the Master single-handedly defeat the combined force of the three?

How could that be possible?

Yin Wen stood dumbfounded on the spot, even forgetting to close the door.

“Do you have anything else?” Xu Mu asked, without even lifting his head.

“Um? Ah, no, nothing!”

Startled, Yin Wen quickly closed the door and retreated. However, the shock in her heart was hard to settle all the way back.

When she went back, she speculated all night and couldn’t rest well. She was still restless the next day.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ergou came to inform her that Xu Mu wanted to see her.

“Did he only ask for me? Were there any others?” Yin Wen inquired.

Because they had taught together for a few days, their relationship was quite close, so there was nothing inappropriate about this question.

The main reason she asked this was that she wanted to know if the three from last night were still there.

“No!” Zhang Ergou shook his head and said, “When the young master gave me the instructions, he was the only one in the yard.”

“Oh.”

Yin Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

The status of the trio, Xiao Tian Yuan, gave her tremendous pressure, and the sudden change in their status made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

Within a short while, they arrived at Xu Mu’s residence.

The place where Xu Mu lived was just an ordinary small courtyard in the League of Martial Artists, which Wu Chengbo had originally arranged for him to live in a very luxurious residence, but Xu Mu simply said “Here will do”, and Wu Chengbo had no choice but to obey.

The courtyard was very simple, without even a garden. It was far inferior to the living quarters of ordinary Martial Artists.

However, since Xu Mu was willing, no one dared to object.

Currently in the middle of the courtyard, Xu Mu was standing there, squeezing a spell with his hand. In front of him, various metals and ores were piled up.

These were all collected by Yang Jiang and Wu Chengbo from the city.

Hum!

The moment the two of them entered the courtyard before they could greet Xu Mu, they saw a towering phantom forming behind him. Once the phantom fully materialized, it was an enlarged version of Xu Mu.

Yin Wen’s eyes showed shock. Although she had seen Xu Mu summon humanoid phantoms before and had guessed that these phantoms might be related to Xu Mu, now seeing this incredible sight in person still left her astonished.

How was this humanoid phantom formed? What kind of Martial Method has Xu Mu been practicing?

This filled her with curiosity, but she did not have the courage to ask for the time being.

Zhang Ergou wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yin Wen.

“Don’t disturb the Master yet!”

Yin Wen noticed that Xu Mu seemed to be doing something and was afraid that Zhang Ergou would interrupt him.

Zhang Ergou wasn’t dumb. After being reminded by Yin Wen, he shut his mouth, and the two of them stood aside to watch fully.

Since Xu Mu did not say anything to ask them to leave, and also because it was happening in the courtyard, they presumed he did not mind them watching.

As the phantom behind him solidified, Xu Mu’s spell changed up a bit, and the phantom on his back simultaneously showed a spell too.

A ball of golden flame emerged from the phantom’s body.

This sight did not surprise the pair.

Because once a martial artist reaches the level of Martial Spirit, they can use the divine skills of the beasts, and the ability to condense various elements isn’t anything unusual.

However, what happened the next instant caused the pair’s eyes to widen.

The pile of metals and ores on the ground was drawn by an invisible force, flying into the golden flame one after the other.

Then they melted into drops of fluid under the flame’s refinement.

This was their first time witnessing the use of divine fire to refine metals.

And an even more incredulous sight appeared.

The big pile of mixed-colored fluid metal, under the rising temperature, quickly condensed until it was reduced to a fist-sized, colorful fluid sphere.

Then, Xu Mu’s prosthetic arm and leg flew off his body and suspended in front of him. The fluid metal, as if having life, then merged into them.

Grr! Rah!

Following the merge of the fluid metal, the originally metallic arm began to gradually transform into real flesh. There was also the roar of a beast coming from within.

Yin Wen’s eyes showed intense shock, almost overflowing.

Firstly, she never thought Xu Mu would be handicapped, missing a hand and a leg.

Usually, such martial artists could never cultivate to any profound levels and were destined to be ordinary for their entire lives.

Another thing she had not expected was that Xu Mu had been using a prosthetic. What was even more unbelievable was that after spending three days with him, she had not noticed a thing.

What she hadn’t expected the most was the way he was manufacturing his prosthetics in front of her.

This was simply like a myth. Who would make tools in such a way?

If this was not happening right before her eyes, she would never believe it, even if it cost her her life.

Because this method went beyond common sense.

It was like someone telling her that they could lift themselves up by pulling their own hair, absurd and unbelievable.

However, such a fantastical scene didn’t end there; after the fluid metal completely fused with the prosthetics, Xu Mu waved his hand again, and all the beast blood that was in the room flew out and merged into them.

Seeing this scene, Yin Wen, who was already extremely shocked, felt like her eyeballs were about to pop out.

Could it be that the beast’s essence blood could be used to refine these weapons?

It wasn’t that no one had used beast materials to make weapons before, but to use essence blood to make weapons, especially abnormal things like prosthetics, was beyond her imagination.

In fact, Xu Mu had only recently mastered this method.

After suppressing Xiao Tian Yuan yesterday, when the latter woke up, he wrote down his method as Xu Mu demanded.

Having acquired Xiao Tian Yuan’s method, he improved his own, smoothly breaking through to the level of a Martial Champion.

Because his method was created relying on his own body.

The higher a martial artist’s cultivation, the more divine skills they could develop from the beast’s original abilities and the stronger they become.

Thus, the higher his Martial Arts cultivation, the more divine skills he could develop from his own body and, naturally, the stronger they become too.

Originally, he could only apply a few minor divine skills, but after breaking through to the realm of the Martial Saint, he was able to stimulate the Innate True Fire which he was incapable of controlling before.

Using Innate True Fire, whether for alchemy or weapons refinement, was an excellent method.

Therefore, the prosthetic limbs, which initially required much effort to make in the blacksmith’s workshop, could now be created using ways of immortality.

“It’s a pity that there’s no Spiritual Energy in this world.”
