When Luo Hong first met Liu Xinjing, she was still a spoiled young lady. She believed in her talent and looked down upon Luo Hong, who was also learning the art of refining under Master Tianhuo.
Later, Luo Hong formed a golden elixir and on the way to Tianxing Island, he rescued the other party once, but they only met briefly.
When I see this girl now, I see that she is already married, and her appearance and demeanor are very different from when we first met her.
"Brother Zhuo, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. It has been almost two hundred years, and your appearance has not changed at all."
When Liu Xinjing saw Bingfeng next to Luo Hong, his eyes dimmed, and then he pulled back his hair as if he was letting go of something, and said with a relaxed expression.
"Aunt Liu, Senior Zhuo has taken the Dingyan Pill. It is not difficult to stay young forever, and he just gave Shaoer three pills!"
Tian Sishao came to the backyard at some point and couldn't wait to take out the Dingyan Pill to offer the Tao of Treasures.
"Shao'er, how can you take someone's things casually? It's still such a valuable thing. Please return it to Fellow Daoist Zhuo as soon as possible!"
At this time, a rather graceful woman frowned and scolded.
"Since Senior Zhuo is a good friend of Master, isn't he just like Aunt Liu? Hehe, when my daughter acted coquettishly to Aunt Liu and asked for the spirit stone, didn't my mother say anything?"
Tian Si Shao suddenly felt aggrieved when he heard this. Of course she was not naturally so courageous. The reason why she dared to be so "presumptuous" in front of Luo Hong was mostly because of what Liu Xin Jing was used to.
"You kid, how can this be the same!"
The graceful woman's expression froze, she glanced at Luo Hong and said with some fear.
Liu Xinjing has been on good terms with their family for decades, and their friendship is extremely deep. Only then can they allow you, a junior, to mess around.
But the young man in front of him, who was suspected to be a monk who formed pills, just appeared suddenly. It was not clear whether he was an enemy or a friend, and his mischief could get people killed!
"Thank you, senior, for just helping me. Tian Xingfu, the master of Tianhuo Pavilion, may I ask my senior's real name, Zhuo Bufan?"
After finally recovering from Luo Hong's superb weapon refining techniques, Tian Xingfu heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and was immediately hit by the recurring word "Zhuo" like an electric current. He immediately raised his hands and said sternly.
"Yes, I am Zhuo Bufan. I heard that little girl said you were waiting for me here. What's the matter?"
Luo Hong's real name will become the center of the storm. If these people find out, it will only cause trouble. Luo Hong should simply treat it as extraordinary.
"Huh? Master Tian Pavilion, you are here specifically to wait for Brother Zhuo. Why have I never heard of you talking about it before?"
Liu Xingjing let out a light sigh and looked at Tian Xingfu curiously.
"This is a secret order from my master. Tian is not allowed to spread it outside. Please don't take offense to Master Liudao."
While explaining, Tian Xingfu glared at Tian Sixao fiercely.
The little girl immediately ran away behind the graceful woman like a frightened rabbit.
"Madam, Master Tian Pavilion, the more you talk, the more confused I become. Is this fellow Taoist an old acquaintance of yours?"
Although Luo Hong helped him refine the magic weapon, the man in green who was speaking looked at Luo Hong with evil intentions, but he concealed it with a calm tone.
"My husband, I don't know. When I was practicing weapon refining under Master Tianhuo, I happened to be in the same batch as Brother Zhuo.
Brother Zhuo not only possesses the talent for refining weapons that even Master Tianhuo praises, but his cultivation level has also improved extremely quickly, and he broke through the core formation stage nearly two hundred years ago.
Moreover, Brother Zhuo saved my life once, but I have never properly thanked him, and I regret it every time I think about it."
Liu Xinjing knew her husband very well. Although he tried his best to hide it, she still saw the clues.
She once fell in love with Zhuo Bufan, but after so many years, this feeling has already turned into regret. Now that we see him again, even this regret is relieved.
And after careful calculation, she realized that Zhuo Bufan was probably in the late stage of pill formation. If her husband did something unwise, he would be very likely to suffer a loss, so she personally spoke out to stop him.
"Since Lord Liudao has confirmed it, it seems that the senior is indeed Zhuo Bufan."
Tian Xingfu nodded, no longer doubting Luo Hong's identity.
"Then let's talk about the secret order from fellow Taoist Tianhuo. Zhuo is quite curious."
To be honest, if it weren't for the secret order left by Master Tianhuo, Luo Hong would have regretted coming here today.
He originally wanted to help his old friend's descendants, put on the airs of his seniors, and cheer up his mood, but unexpectedly all he encountered was embarrassing things.
First, he was regarded as a villain by his descendants, and then he was involved in an old relationship that even he didn't know about, and became the wrong target. What kind of thing is this!
"The master's secret order is not complicated, it is to tell Tian not to leave Tianxing City for a hundred years. During this period, if the senior comes to visit, he will give him something.
However, the master also told me that only seniors who have become Nascent Soul monks can get this thing.
If the senior comes early, he cannot mention this matter, let alone take out that thing.
Hey, senior already knows something from the little girl, so Tian will only slightly disobey the teacher's order, but I hope senior won't force it."
Tian Xingfu was a little worried, fearing that Zhuo Bufan would insist on checking that thing, and he would never agree.
"Father, what are you talking about? This Senior Zhuo is Master Yuan Ying!"
Tian Sishao revealed his little head from behind the graceful woman, blinked twice and said.
Simple ideas are sometimes not a bad thing. Tian Xingfu and the others used their time to calculate Luo Hong's cultivation level, and they were unable to make a more accurate judgment than Tian Sixao even though they were also unable to see through Luo Hong.
"You must have Nascent Soul cultivation to take away something. Fellow Taoist Tianhuo seems to have left a problem behind."
While muttering softly to himself, Luo Hong took the initiative to release part of his aura, and the Yuanying monk's spiritual pressure immediately shocked the four of them.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be the same as last time. When we meet again, we will be seniors."
Liu Xinjing sighed, realizing the wonder of fate, and quickly saluted Luo Hong:
"Congratulations to Senior Zhuo for condensing the Nascent Soul. My husband and I should have congratulated Senior Zhuo on behalf of Qianfeng Island. However, Senior has something important to attend to today, so we can only talk about it another day.
Master Tian Pavilion, my husband and I will take our leave now."
"Shao'er, you also come into the house with me first."
The graceful woman reacted upon seeing this, took Tian Sishao's hand and walked into the main room.
In an instant, only Tian Xingfu and Luo Hong were left in the backyard.
"I didn't expect that Senior Zhuo is already a Nascent Soul cultivator. Tian is really blind.
In this case, please ask senior to sit down for a moment, and Tian will fetch that thing."
Tian Xingfu breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he left Luo Hong and the two of them behind, walked to the foot of a big tree in the courtyard, took out a spiritual shovel from his storage bag, and started digging hard.
"There is a strange big stone under the tree. It should be artificially disguised. If you don't know the secret of this place, even a high-level monk will not notice anything strange if he scans it with his spiritual consciousness.
Fellow Daoist Luo, I'm afraid your old friend really left you something interesting."
Bingfeng had been following Luo Hong, and she couldn't help but be curious at the moment.
"Let's take a look first. Anyway, even if it's trouble, Luo can handle it."
Luo Hong sat down on the stone chair in the courtyard and said calmly.
The boulder that could be sensed by his spiritual consciousness was not buried deeply, so Tian Xingfu took it out after digging for a while.
What he saw was a whole piece of purple wood carved into the shape of a boulder. This kind of spiritual material seemed to be able to mislead his consciousness. Although Luo Hong could see that it was a container, he could not sense the space inside it.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Xingfu raised his spiritual shovel and thrust it into a gap in the purple wood. Then he pried it hard and lifted its top cover.
With a "clang" sound, Tian Xingfu threw the spiritual shovel aside, reached down with his hands, and took out a jade box several feet long.
Even though the jade box was covered with spiritual talismans, Luo Hong still sensed the spiritual energy emanating from it.
Obviously, the spiritual level of the things in the box must not be low.
"Senior Zhuo, that thing is in this jade box. My master buried the box in the soil with his own hands, so Tian doesn't know what is in the box."
Soon, Tian Xingfu respectfully held the jade box in front of Luo Hong, with a bit of curiosity on his face.
"Um."
With a casual move, Luo Hong took the jade box in front of him, then gently blew out a breath of spiritual energy, and the talismans on the jade box flew up one after another.
Tian Xingfu couldn't help but look shocked when he saw this. When the war in Xing Palace was unfavorable, his wife wanted to temporarily move out of Tianxing City, but he did not agree due to his teacher's appointment, so the two had a big quarrel.
In a depressed mood, Tian Xingfu secretly dug out the jade box to see what was worth holding on to for a hundred years.
As a result, he tried very hard to lift any of the talismans on the jade box. Now that he saw Luo Hong lifting all the talismans so easily, he couldn't help but be shocked.
After blowing away the magic talisman, Luo Hong didn't hesitate at all. With a thought, he slid the jade box open.
Suddenly, a dazzling silver aura shot up into the sky, piercing through the formation mask in the backyard and straight into the sky.
"not good!"
Tian Xingfu's face immediately turned pale and he shouted loudly.
If this news spreads outside, Tianhuo Pavilion will definitely be in trouble in the future.
At this moment, Luo Hong made a lightning-fast move to grab the spiritual object in the jade box, and then with a burst of magic power, the silver beam of light collapsed and disappeared.
"Huh~ It's okay, okay. As expected, Master's explanation makes sense."
Tian Xingfu mentally patted his chest, cursed, and looked at the thing in Luo Hong's hand.
I saw that it was a silver short knife, the whole body was crystal clear, and there were particles like stars in the blade, which was quite exquisite.
"Huh? Is this the Dragon Blade?"
After admiring it for a moment, Tian Xingfu suddenly remembered something and pointed at the silver dagger.
"Does Xiaoyou Tian recognize this knife?"
Luo Hong's heart moved and he asked immediately.
The moment he slid open the jade box, Luo Hong scanned the box with his spiritual consciousness and found that Master Tianhuo had not left a single word in the jade box, and he felt a little headache.
"I can't say I recognize him, after all, Tian has never seen him before.
The Fulong Blade was the last magic weapon refined by the master. However, the master made it secretly at the time, and immediately announced that the refining of the treasure had failed after leaving seclusion.
Fortunately, Tian has read all the family master's letters and read part of the description of the Fulong Blade, which is very consistent with the short sword in the hand of Senior Zhuo, so he made a guess."
Tian Xingfu touched his fat chin and frowned.
"Fulong Blade? Yelong Island? Haha, no wonder you don't need to leave anything behind. What happened here is very clear to Zhuo."
After just pondering for a moment, Luo Hong showed a look of understanding and chuckled to himself.
The last time he was in Chaotic Star Sea, Luo Hong knew that Master Tianhuo had the intention of refining the Dragon Blade, and Yelong Island, who was solely responsible for the refining method of this treasure, was quite disgusted by this.
So much so that the other party sent assassins to cause trouble when he was refining the Five Elements Flag, and almost killed him and Old Mo Han.
Later, when Sheng Ling was rescuing Xiao Jin, it was also the Purple Dragon Envoy from Yelong Island who tripped him up.
It turns out that these things happened many years ago, and they were all near misses at the time, so Luo Hong almost forgot about them.
But now that he saw this magic weapon that was suspected to be the Fulong Blade, he couldn't help but think about it again, and he got really angry the more he thought about it!
After linking up the whole incident, Luo Hong was basically certain that the silver dagger in his hand was the Fulong Blade that Master Tianhuo made back then but pretended to have failed to make it.
It is easier to understand why this treasure was given to Zhuo Bufan, and it was stipulated that one must have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage to take it away.
Although the assassination was aimed at Master Tianhuo, Zhuo Bufan was indeed involved, and based on the qualifications he showed back then, Master Tianhuo felt that he was the most likely to condense the Nascent Soul, which was natural.
The island owner of Yelong Island is a Nascent Soul monk, and taking away the Fulong Blade will inevitably lead to enmity with Yelong Island. Without the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, this treasure will be a disaster rather than a blessing.
Of course, Master Tianhuo didn't fully count on him, so he set a one-hundred-year period.
In addition, it can be inferred from the fact that Master Tianhuo did not leave a message. Although the fat old man successfully refined the Fulong Blade, he did not know much about the secrets of this treasure and Yelong Island. He must have been quite mature when he passed away.
I regret this.
"Haha, you fat old man has successfully aroused my interest. Okay, I will help you make up for this regret!"
With a thought in his mind, Luo Hong put away the silver dagger, then looked at Tian Xingfu and said:
"Zhuo has received what your master wanted to pass on. This matter involves the Yuanying monk. You must keep it secret from now on, otherwise you may be killed."
"Yes, Tian has also guessed this. I will tell my daughter and my wife later!"
Tian Xingfu quickly handed over his hand, saying that he was only a late-stage foundation-building monk and did not want to get involved.
"Well, although Fellow Taoist Tianhuo has some wishful thinking on this matter, you still have to work hard, but I have to express it.
Seeing that you are almost at the point of forming the elixir, take these two elixirs and take them when forming the elixir. It can increase the success rate by 40% at least.
In addition, Zhuo and your girl are very close, so I gave this magic weapon to her.
The situation in Luan Xinghai will be a bit turbulent recently, so you and your family should stay in Tianxing City as much as possible and don't run around."
After some reminders, Luo Hong didn't linger too much and disappeared with Bingfeng in a flash.
