708- Extraordinary Flame_ 1
Du Sheng was slightly stunned, and he flashed an apologetic smile at Ye Qingtang rather awkwardly.
Very quickly, Du Sheng walked to Chu Yi and the rest and said, "Please."
Since Master Du had already given the orders to chase the visitors away, everyone did not dare to stay any longer and could only leave.
"Alright. Sorry to bother you, Master Du. When it's convenient for you, I'll come and pay respects again." Chu Yi cupped his fists and subsequently left the Bliss Forging Workshop.
After leaving the Bliss Forging Workshop, Chu Yi glanced at the workshop coldly, and an icy smile hung on his lips.
Today, Chu Yi was not depressed over Master Du's rejection but unknowingly excited instead.
That fellow could take out 500 grams of Millennium Meteoric Iron from his space ring so casually. It seemed that there was even more Millennium Meteoric Iron in his space ring!
...
In the Bliss Forging Workshop, Master Du led Ye Qingtang into the back of the hall while the blue-haired girl was told to remain in the front of the hall.
"You said that the payment is 500 grams of Millennium Meteoric Iron earlier on. Is that still valid?" Master Du asked Ye Qingtang.
"Of course." Ye Qingtang nodded with a smile.
"Junior, although the Millennium Meteoric Iron is a treasure... an Extraordinary Flame is required to forge the Millennium Meteoric Iron. It is difficult for ordinary flames to refine it..." Master Du hinted at another meaning.
Since this person could take out the Millennium Meteoric Iron, he must have some Extraordinary Flame ingredients with him as well.
The Millennium Meteoric Iron would only have its worth when an Extraordinary Flame could be started. Otherwise, it was ultimately a useless metal.
"Junior, not to hide from you, I have no use for these Millennium Meteoric Iron of yours... I don't have the fire source of an Extraordinary Flame. Even if I obtain this Millennium Meteoric Iron, it is still impossible to refine it." Master Du shook his head.
"So your meaning is?" Ye Qingtang asked.
"If you can find some fire sources for an Extraordinary Flame, you don't need to give me 500 grams of Millennium Meteoric Iron as payment. Just three taels are enough." Master Du answered.
No matter how good a meteoric iron was, there was no use if there was no way of refining it.
"Are you talking about this?" As Ye Qingtang spoke, she flicked her wrist, and a golden flame emerged in her palms and swayed energetically.
"This is...?!" Master Du stared at the golden flame in Ye Qingtang's hand, and astonishment filled his eyes.
Although Ye Qingtang did not possess an Extraordinary Flame, the might of the flame from her Ultimate Origin Skill was not any weaker than an Extraordinary Flame.
In the next second, an inexplicable excitement emerged in Master Du's eyes.
"My flame compares favorably with an Extraordinary Flame and can refine the Millennium Meteoric Iron," Ye Qingtang said with a smile.
"Not bad..." At that instant, there was a change in the way that Master Du looked at Ye Qingtang. It was as though he was inspecting a certain treasure.
"Master, so about building a weapon..." Ye Qingtang felt a little unnatural with Master Du's gaze. It was as though she became a piece of superior-quality meat.
"That's a small matter. What is your name, little brother?" Master Du asked with a smile.
"Ye Chen." Ye Qingtang replied.
"Alright. Brother Ye Chen... forging a weapon is a small matter... Brother Ye Chen, I wish to collaborate with you..." Master Du's eyes twinkled.
"Collaborate?" Ye Qingtang was confused.
"That's right!" Master Du nodded with a mysterious expression on his face. "There's a Dragon Vein... That place has a gathering of the richest spirit energy of this mainland... There are countless treasures in the Dragon Vein... However, that Dragon Vein is cornered by the Peerless School, Beiming Manor, and even the Phantom Valley forces..."

"Peerless School, Beiming Manor... Phantom Valley..." After hearing Master Du's words, Ye Qingtang frowned.
The Peerless School was the most powerful group in the Nine Nights Dynasty. Even super sects like Falling Sky Valley and Tiangang Sect had to bow down to them and pay tribute with large quantities of treasures to the Peerless School.
The Beiming Manor, on the other hand, was situated in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, and it was almost on par with the Peerless School.
In the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, super sects like Yunxiao Sect and Yuehua Sect, similarly, had to pay allegiance to the Beiming Manor and were required to offer tributes annually.
As for the Phantom Valley, it was the most powerful evil cult that rose in this mainland over the last hundred years.
The Peerless School, Beiming Manor, and Phantom Valley were the three strongest forces of this mainland, and almost no other group could contend with them!
In her previous life, Ye Qingtang once heard that the Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley was severely injured by an ordinary warden of the Peerless School...
From this, the horrifying capabilities of these three forces could be seen.
As for the Dragon Vein, Ye Qingtang had never heard of it before.
However, speaking accurately, there was indeed a force that placed above these three great forces...
That was the Antiquity Palace!
However, although the Antiquity Palace commanded a respectable position, it never got involved with worldly matters as though it was completely outside the world.
Ye Qingtang lowered her head instinctively and looked at the ring that was forcefully put on her finger by a certain Palace Lord. A chill ran down her spine, and she immediately swept the Antiquity Palace out of her mind.
She did not wish to meet that someone ever again in her life as her Heart of the Demon God might just be exposed anytime otherwise.
"Brother Ye Chen, it's said that carcass of an ancient demon lays in the Dragon Vein... The spirit energy all around is gathered and condensed into millions of destinies and treasures. Even a complete Earth-level weapon as said in legends exists there too!" Master Du was agitated.
If one had the skills to control a complete Earth-level weapon, he could easily destroy the Nine Nights Dynasty territory with just the wave of a hand!
"The Beiming Manor, Peerless School, and the Phantom Valley were unable to completely open up a tunnel in over ten years... You have an Extraordinary Flame, and we can enter the Dragon Vein..." Master Du persuaded with all his might.
"With those three forces, wouldn't we be courting death by heading there?" Ye Qingtang said after pondering for a moment.
"That's not the case." Master Du shook his head and continued. "We do not need to come into contact with those three forces. Many years ago when I was in the northern region, I found another tunnel that connects to the Dragon Vein by chance... However, that tunnel is blocked by a massive rock made from Millennium Meteoric Iron... That massive rock can only be destroyed with an Extraordinary Flame... As long as we use your Extraordinary Flame to destroy the massive rock..." Excitement was written all over Master Du's face.
"I need to think about it," Ye Qingtang said.
Although Ye Qingtang was extremely interested in the Dragon Vein as well, if it was really guarded by the Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor forces as Master Du said...
"Sure. There's no hurry. No hurry. Brother Ye Chen, let's refine the weapon first. We'll talk after it," Master Du said with a smile.
Before Ye Qingtang could speak, Master Du said again, "To refine a weapon with a Millennium Meteoric Iron, we will need a complete proposal. Give me half a month's time, Brother Ye Chen. After I'm done with the proposal, you can come here and use your Extraordinary Flame to assist with the forging of the weapon."
"Okay. We'll settle on this then." Ye Qingtang nodded.
Not long later, Ye Qingtang turned around and left the Bliss Forging Workshop.

710- Extraordinary Flame_ 3
As the forging of a new weapon was more or less settled, Ye Qingtang finally planned to head to the Falling Sky Valley, but before that, she still had a small matter to settle.
She looked at the silent and obedient blue-haired girl who had been following beside her and was a little awkward.
She could not possibly bring her along, could she?
"Where's your house? Do you have any family? I'll let someone send you back if you want?" Ye Qingtang spoke.
The blue-haired girl looked up and replied obediently. "Can you send me to somewhere with a sea, benefactor? You just need to send me to the seaside."
Sea?
Ye Qingtang was rather curious. This lady was not in a hurry to go home and was looking for a sea?
However, she did not think much about it. There was a sea at the back of the Nine Nights Dynasty, and it was convenient to send this lady there.
Then, Ye Qingtang immediately brought the blue-haired girl to the sea behind the monarch city.
The surface of the vast sea sparkled, and the sea breeze was refreshing.
When the blue-haired girl saw the seawater, a glint flashed across her eyes, and she bowed to Ye Qingtang slightly. "Thank you very much, benefactor."
Without waiting for Ye Qingtang to return to her senses, the blue-haired girl jumped into the sea directly.
Once the blue-haired girl entered the water, her legs suddenly turned into a gleam of light without delay.
However, in the next second, an icy-blue fish tail flashed across the calm sea surface, and countless water beads scattered in the air. In the reflection of sunlight, the water beads glistened in the colors of the rainbow.
"..." Ye Qingtang was dazed.
What the hell is that?!!
"Mermaid?" The little white tiger mumbled when it saw the fish tail that flashed by.
It was said that in the sea connecting the mainlands, a group of mermaids who lived in the sea still existed, though no one had seen this clan before. Yet unexpectedly...
Ye Qingtang rubbed her temples in speechlessness. What exactly did she rescue?
"Rumors have it that the mermaids are very powerful. Why did she end up being sold by a human?" Ye Qingtang did hear some legends about mermaids in her previous life but had never seen them before. Unexpectedly... after her rebirth, she actually rescued a mermaid after going through a strange combination of events.
The little white tiger said, "That is in the sea. Once a mermaid is on the land, all their skills will be lost unless they wear a special item that can maintain their powers. I reckon that... it was the first time that this mermaid went on the land, and she probably did not know about it."
"You do know a lot of things."
"Of course. I'm a Fiendcelestial Beast. What do I not know?!" The little white tiger wagged its tail proudly.
A laugh escaped from Ye Qingtang's lips as she shook her head. Fortunately, it was on land. If it was in the sea, those slave masters who caught the blue-haired girl would probably be beaten to a pulp by that young girl.
Looking at the figure that gradually swam further away, Ye Qingtang spoke. "Forget it. Let's head to Falling Sky Valley first."
The little white tiger did not say anything and followed Ye Qingtang.
Just as they left, the blue-haired girl who had swum a distance suddenly poked her head out from the surface of the sea. However, the gentleness and obedience from before had long disappeared from her exquisite face as a sharp look flashed across her eyes.
Damn it...
Why did she not know that her skills would actually be suppressed on land?
She was really careless and almost got attacked by these humans!
Subsequently, she looked thoughtfully at the back view of the person who was gradually disappearing away from the shore.
