Chapter 40: Unfathomable

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han exchanged a glance with wry smiles on their faces. They dared not interrupt, lest Yunxiao called them rubbish as well, which was no different from bringing shame on themselves!

Just then, Yunxiao suddenly gave Xu Han a charming smile. “Hehe! President Xu, the thing you said just now…about the arrangement of waitresses…Hehe! We’ll do it next time, alright? Don’t forget!”

Xu Han, “…”

Yunxiao then stood up and walked to the wall before pulling out the black iron sword. The entire blade was completely black, without any luster or sharpness, making it look just like a big iron bar that was anything but outstanding.

But by this time, Jia Rong had learned his lesson, so he did not dare to say anything and just stood behind Yunxiao carefully while waiting on him.

After glancing at the sword a few times, a smile came into his eyes as he said, “Not bad, just like I expected! Master Zhang, Master Xu, what do you think?” He held the sword before their eyes.

Zhang Qingfan said hastily, “Master Yunxiao, you can just call me by my name. I can’t afford to be called master by you!” He reached out a hand and gently stroked the iron sword while slowly feeling it with his soul power.

Xu Han also began to look carefully at the sword. At first, his eyebrows furrowed, then gradually unfurled, and soon his eyes were filled with shock and surprise.

“Well?” Yunxiao asked with a smile.

Knowing that Yunxiao was testing them both, Zhang Qingfan did not dare to be careless. After pondering for a while, he said, “Its rank is first grade, and its construction is perfect as if it was created by the heaven and earth. Moreover, there is a great energy flowing in it. I have never seen such a perfectly balanced mystic weapon. However, it is entirely made of refined iron in the origin state… Master Yunxiao, if I may ask, how do you unseal this sword? And what kind of form does it take after it is unsealed?”

Mystic weapons were a kind of weapon that contained great energy, and the refining process of alchemists could only simplify the path that led to the released state of the energy, which was the so-called ‘unsealed’ state!

However, Yunxiao’s mystic weapon was already in the unsealed state. The three of them had never heard of such a thing as being able to directly refine an unsealed mystic weapon. In any case, in the last few hours, their previous knowledge had been completely overturned, so they were not so surprised by now.

Yunxiao nodded and said, “You are right. I have solidified this state of energy bursting during the refining process, so this sword cannot be unsealed again in battles. But, did you see the Purple Sun Stone I added later?”

“Purple Sun Stone?” Xu Han said thoughtfully, “Isn’t that the key raw material used to construct the gravity array?”

Yunxiao laughed. “Yes, it’s the gravity array. I have incorporated two gravity arrays into this unsealed mystic weapon. Watch carefully…Unseal!”

As his voice faded, Zhang Qingfan and the other two suddenly felt a huge pulling force coming from the ground, freezing them in place and making it difficult for them to walk! Shocked, Xu Han exclaimed, “Tenfold gravitational force!”

“That’s right, tenfold gravitational force. I have just unsealed one of the gravity arrays, and the other one also contains a tenfold gravitational force. When activated together, they can generate a one-hundredfold gravitational force. It’s a pity that the piece of Purple Sun Stone is a little too small. Otherwise, I can fit another array in the sword to generate a one-thousandfold gravitational force. But if I did that, the sword would not be able to withstand the strong pulling force. I reckon it would self-destruct at the moment all three arrays are unsealed at the same time.”

“Three arrays…three unsealed states!”

All three of them were completely struck dumb as they stared at the colorless iron sword with blank minds.

A mystic weapon could be unsealed three more times when it was in an unsealed state? This… what was this concept? Yunxiao had once again overturned their common sense…

“Yun…Master Yunxiao, can…can you lend us this sword to study for a few days?” Zhang Qingfan swallowed and asked gingerly. On the side, Xu Han and Jia Rong’s eyes shone with anticipation as well.

Yunxiao twitched his mouth and said coldly, “Hmph! If I lend this sword to you three pieces of rubbish to study, what weapon will I use? Do you want me to use your crappy Spring Water?”

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han smiled bitterly. In the end, they were still rudely called rubbish by Yunxiao. But, when they reflected on what they had seen and learned in the past few hours, they could not help but admit they were indeed rubbish in the past!

When he thought of his Spring Water now, Zhang Qingfan found it was indeed a crappy mystic weapon, and his face even flashed with shame. He wished he could get it back from Yunxiao and destroy it, so that no one would know it was refined by him.

Jia Rong was relieved when he saw that the two third-tier alchemists were scolded as rubbish by Yunxiao and did not dare to say a word. He even vaguely felt that being scolded as rubbish by Yunxiao was an honor, a status, a state of happiness, which made his pride rise spontaneously.

Yunxiao thought for a moment and then said, “I mainly use this sword for cultivation, so that I can be under ten or one-hundredfold gravitational force every day, and my strength can be improved by leaps and bounds. As the saying goes, real sword skill does not depend on the sharp sword edges, but on personal cultivation. Well, I will name this sword ‘Black Girl’.”

When Yunxiao said ‘real sword skill does not depend on the sharp sword edges, but on personal cultivation’, the three of them vaguely felt that these words contained a trace of rules which moved their hearts and filled them with astonishment. But, when they heard the name he gave the sword, they all fainted immediately!

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Jia Rong asked meekly, “Young Master Yun, what does that sentence you said have to do with the name ‘Black Girl’?”

“There’s nothing between them. I’m just saying it off the top of my head.”

The trio fainted again…

After putting away Black Girl, Yunxiao came over to the cauldron. Although several hours had passed, the aroma of the pills still greeted him, making him feel refreshed.

Inside the cauldron, pills of two different colors rested in two distinct groups. There were four milky white origin impacting pills, and ten pale green detoxification pills, all of which were glittering and crystal-clear.

“Flawless pills!” Xu Han exclaimed, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Jia Rong had seen Yunxiao purify the finished pills directly, so he was already mentally prepared. Looking at the astonished appearance of the two masters, he suddenly felt a sense of superiority. He wished he could laugh and say: “Haha! These are the pills refined by my Master! I’m so happy to be his servant!”

The origin impacting pill was a kind of pill taken by apprentice warriors when they were attempting to break through into the Origin realm, which could greatly increase the probability of breakthrough. However, each apprentice warrior could only take it once, and if the breakthrough failed, taking it again would have no more effect.

Therefore, although there were many origin impacting pills on the market, the price varied with quality. However, flawless pills like Yunxiao’s had never appeared. Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were almost sure that any apprentice warrior who had opened all seven chakras would definitely advance to the Origin realm once he took this flawless pill, as long as he was not a dead pig!

“Well, thank you for letting me use the refining room. In return, I’ll spend an hour answering your questions. If you have any doubts during normal times, you can ask me. Apart from alchemy and martial arts, I’m quite successful in the fields of music, array, painting, chess, and picking up girls. I can answer questions relating to these if you have any.”

Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were overjoyed, but then they felt a little dizzy. They would not spend such precious time asking questions about picking up girls.

In a hurry, they began to ask all the questions they encountered during normal times, and Yunxiao began answering them all one by one. Although Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were famous, their names were only heard in the state of Tianshui. Yunxiao, on the other hand, was a world-famous ninth-tier Sovereign Alchemist in his previous life! The number of senior alchemists who gathered from all over the continent to learn from him or ask for advice was beyond imagination. Therefore, for him to answer their questions was as easily as teaching primary school students.

Jia Rong did not ask any questions, but he learned more than he had ever known in his life. He tried his best to memorize all their questions and answers and prepared to write them down later, lest he forgot them.

The more Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han asked, the more frightened and obsessed they became. Soon, an hour passed.

“Master Yunxiao,” Zhang Qingfan was now completely subdued, and his eyes were left with only the look of admiration and respect. He and Xu Han stood up together and bowed deeply. “Thank you for solving our doubts!”

Instead of avoiding them, Yunxiao accepted the two men’s bows calmly, and then turned to leave. His loud laughter came from a distance, “I’ll go now, and I’ll come back to teach you next time when I’m free. By the way President Xu, remember to help me arrange those waitresses next time…Don’t forget!”

Xu Han, “…”

Looking at Yunxiao’s disappearing back, Zhang Qingfan stood up straight and breathed a deep sigh. “Old Xu, what do you think of Master Yunxiao?”

A wry smile flashed through Xu Han’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Unfathomable!”

Zhang Qingfan murmured, “Unfathomable, he’s indeed unfathomable! More than a decade ago, I had the honor of asking Lord Yang Di some questions about alchemy. At that time, he gave me a feeling that is very similar to this Master Yunxiao, really similar.”

Xu Han said doubtfully, “But, he has already said that he is not Lord Yang Di’s disciple. Alchemists attach the greatest importance to respecting teachers and morals. If Master Yunxiao is indeed Lord Yang Di’s disciple, he wouldn’t deny it.”

Zhang Qingfan shook his head, his eyes flashing with horror. “I believe he is not Lord Yang Di’s disciple, because he gave me a feeling that is…” his eyes lit up suddenly, “…more unfathomable than Lord Yang Di!”

…

After leaving the Alchemist Association, Yunxiao walked in the direction of Meng Wu’s house. He had two purposes, one being delivering the pills to them. Secondly, after he had absorbed the poison in Meng Bai’s body and completed the refining, he vaguely felt that his strength had improved a lot. So, he planned to find a place to cultivate in seclusion.

Now that the academy was closed for the holidays, and the Li Family was a place where he was apt to get into trouble, the suburb where Meng Wu and her brother lived was undoubtedly his best choice.

When Yunxiao arrived at the suburb, he found Meng Wu’s house empty. He waited for most of the day before seeing Meng Wu come back, still wearing the waitress’s uniform.

“Young Master Yun, why are you here?” Her face was happy, but saw Yunxiao’s gloomy face in the next moment, so she asked cautiously, “What’s the matter?”

Yunxiao asked coldly, “Where is Meng Bai?”

Meng Wu answered nervously, “As soon as he got well, he followed the uncle next door to dig in the mine.”

“Sis, I’m back!”

Just then, Meng Bai ran in from the outside with a happy face. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Yunxiao, but then he excitedly poured out a lot of raw Primordial Stone ores from his storage bag and said, “Master, sis, look! I dug so many raw ores today!”

Pa!

Yunxiao slapped Meng Bai and sent him flying. “Kneel!”
