Chapter 435: Chapter 155: A Strange Breakthrough Opportunity, Sharing a Cave with Lady Hall Master

Leaving the North Gate, Li Yuan walked and walked, eventually returning to Silver Creek Square. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After this round trip, he had already confirmed that Shanbao County was still a "seemingly normal" and "normally operating" small county, just that in certain places, it became extremely dangerous.

This was not a restricted area for the living, after all.

Indeed, whether it’s the Lotus Sect or the Emperor, they surely need people, how could they "drain the pond to catch the fish"?

As Li Yun walked past the roadside of Silver Creek Square, he casually bought a bag of "Frost Grass Candy," which was something that had been sold from Qiutang County when he was still around, and surprisingly, it was still available now.

After that, he turned westward in the direction of Little Ink Workshop, walking neither hurriedly nor slowly.

At nightfall, he didn’t rush, but instead found a nearby resident as a new target for "Thousand-Mile in a Line," then returned to Cloud Mountain Path, headed to the Black Market Ghost Realm, and gave the "Frost Grass Candy" to Xiaozhao, after which the whole family had some hot food together.

The food was brought by Tang Nian, naturally more than enough, and of very good quality.

The icy and frozen Cloud Mountain Path was especially suitable for preserving food, so it was no problem to leave it out for a few days.

Cooking was naturally still done by Lady Yan.

Only after finishing cooking, she wouldn’t eat, but would quietly sit by and watch her husband and daughter eat.

This kind of life was no different from an ordinary family of three.

Here, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented relaxation, even drinking a pot of wine.

The wine was sprinkled with a petal of Heart-Burning Flower, which also made him feel intoxicated.

Then, in his drunkenness, he was helped by Lady Yan, assisted with taking off his shoes and pants, up onto the bed, lying on his back in a relatively spacious room in this Black Market Ghost Realm.

Then, with a flick of the sleeve, Lady Yan in Cyan Robe. The cyan robe faded into darkness.

The daily life of a couple, and a night passed...

Waking up the next day, Li Yuan felt refreshed, and after Lady Yan had applied the Yin Makeup for him, he beckoned and returned to the vicinity of the "fixed point coordinate" from where he left last night.

Perhaps due to longevity, or perhaps due to Yin Yang balance with Lady Yan, his heart was not restless at all.

He preferred not to force conflicts that could be avoided with time.

He traveled along the familiar paths, his gaze scanning left and right, discerning the differences from before.

Soon, he arrived at Little Ink Workshop.

Revisiting the old place, Li Yuan didn’t feel much.

His home was not in this place called Little Ink Workshop, but wherever Sister Yan, Xiaozhao, Xue Ning, and Tang Nian were.

If possible, he would, of course, have liked to bring along Lady Yin, Elder Shuixiang, Gu Yaojue, and Li Ping’an, but those people wouldn’t leave Divine Wood Hall.

This place had long been poor and perilous, children from before had grown into adults, and every household still chatted about what to eat next.

Still, despite feeling nothing, Li Yuan curiously circled back to his old house.

After all, that old house carried the memories of him and Yan Yu.

As he imagined, such a rundown old house must have been covered in cobwebs, dust all over the floor.

But as he approached, he found it had actually become a blacksmith shop.

A muscle-bound man was forging iron at the front.

The fiery glow of the forge, in the cold early winter wind, illuminated the sweat on his skin, making it appear red.

And behind the curtain, there was a village woman with a blue headscarf going in and out.

This man was actually a Seventh Grade presence, and the village woman was an Eighth Grade, a power unimaginable in Little Ink Workshop.

Just then, a rider approached quickly from afar, stopping in front of the blacksmith shop. The rider, wrapped in a red headscarf, was dressed like a low-ranking minion of the Red Lotus bandits.

"This broken place still has a stinkin’ blacksmith, ha ha, can you even sell anything?" the Red Lotus bandit asked. He clearly hadn’t realized the blacksmith was Seventh Grade.

"Yes! Of course, we can!" the man stopped his actions and replied with a smile, "Sir, don’t look down on this rundown place; this was where Master Li once lived. Master Li began his legendary journey here."

"Master Li..." The Red Lotus bandit instantly fell silent, silent with a hint of resentment and fear.

The frontline army had collapsed like a landslide...

That woman, with just herself and a sword, tore open the defense line just like that.

This kind of sweeping advance, domineering and arrogant.

And the higher-ups of the Lotus Sect did not even know what to think, as they didn’t send any major figures to intercept.

There is even a saying that even Peng Mi died at the hands of that woman, and sending someone again would require the Sect Leader himself to take action.

This Red Lotus bandit, of course, hadn’t the qualification to witness the battlefield personally; he just heard that "the person was Vice Hall Master Gu Xuejian from Divine Wood Hall, and the sword was the magic sword Sun and Moon in the Sky forged by Master Li."

And it is said that Sect Leader Peng Mi of the Fourth Grade was slain by this Sun and Moon in the Sky.

Thus, it showed how powerful the magic sword Sun and Moon in the Sky was.

When the news came back, the people of the Lotus Sect were all shocked, and the name of Master Li changed from the initial "just a Weapon Forger known to foolishly use life span to forge soldiers" to "whoa, he forged the Sun and Moon in the Sky."

Master Li’s reputation rose significantly; not only did Master Zhu exclaim "whoa," but all the Weapon Forgers in the Lotus Sect who knew about this were similarly amazed, none daring to believe "Sun and Moon in the Sky actually had the blood-drinking effect of the Spirit Array."

Thus, Master Li’s name became not only famous but also associated with "mystery" and "death."

"Master Li... lived here?" The Red Lotus bandit’s voice became stammering.

The man said, "Yes, he lived here before. I admire him so much, so I brought my wife to live here."
