Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 397 - 146: World Map, Western Pole Ice Race, Withdraw and Reap
He wanted to take the girl away.
But he was refused.
This Sixth Grade Martial Artist couldn’t use force, because the scorching Shadow Blood seemed to be "frozen" in such a place, making it completely ineffective.
The Sixth Grade Martial Artist didn’t want to stay and repeatedly talked about leaving.
Finally, the Ice Race People agreed, but... he could only leave by himself and couldn’t take his wife and children with him.
Moreover, as a punishment, there was no way he could have the map to leave.
But his wife helped him, quietly leading him to an exit and telling him not to look back and just keep going forward.
He walked for seven days and nights before finally getting out and returning to the Great Zhou.
After reaching the Great Zhou, he reported the matter to the Divine Wood Hall, which sent people with him to find it, but they couldn’t find it no matter what. The Divine Wood Hall felt it didn’t involve resources or cultivation skills, so they just filed it away and left it.
And this Sixth Grade Martial Artist married a new woman in the Great Zhou and lived a new life.
This "Ice River Chronicles" was what he later wrote, but very few people believed it, thinking he had made it up. Even the woman he remarried didn’t believe him.
This information was written at the end of the book, and the Sixth Grade Martial Artist, even in his old age, began to doubt his experience...
Was it a real experience or just a dream?
Before his death, he handed over his manuscript to the Divine Wood Hall to help "his descendants" gain more resources and secure a spot at headquarters.
And the fact that this "Ice River Chronicles" appears here indicates that the Divine Wood Hall has given it some level of recognition, or sees it as having some reference value.
After Li Yuan finished reading, he put down the book and glanced at the sky.
It was already getting dark...
He rubbed his hands and left the Vine Pavilion.
For a moment, he felt more longing for the Cloud Mountain Path.
It seemed like a place truly far from the disputes of the Great Zhou, and not an absolute forbidden land for people.
When he got there, he could arrange for someone to explore the Ice Race.
At the same time, he would try his best to help Lady Yan integrate more Ghost Realms to make her stronger.
With Lady Yan strengthened, the level of the surrounding Meat Field would also improve.
His ideal goal was to hide Lady Yan’s Ghost Realm in a place where no one could find it, with the Meat Field growing in the ice and snow...
By then, no matter how chaotic the Great Zhou was, he could stay steadily in the border domain and establish a paradise.
Expanding westward to increase the depth of "hidden seclusion."
Helping Yan Yu to integrate more Ghost Realms to ensure his own resources never run out.
That is his plan.
...
...
"Master Li! Master Li!!"
Li Yuan had just come down from the Vine Pavilion when he saw a disciple running from afar. Upon seeing Li Yuan, the disciple respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Master Li, the Hall Master is looking for you. It seems urgent."
Hall Master?
Li Yuan’s expression changed slightly and said, "Let’s go quickly."
The disciple led the way, and Li Yuan followed closely behind.
Soon, the two arrived at a Ming Hall near the White Bamboo Bell Tower.
In the hall, a man in a floral outfit was slumped in a large chair.
The man’s buttons were slightly open, revealing a strong muscular chest, while his facial skin was smooth like a woman’s...
The man sat there casually, with a bit of a rogue air, but his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. When he saw Li Yuan arrive, his eyes finally brightened, carefully scrutinizing him.
The guiding disciple respectfully addressed the man in floral, "Master Gong."
Li Yuan had never met Master Gong.
Since he entered the Triple Gate of the Divine Wood Hall, Master Gong had always been outside dueling Master Zhu, and now somehow he was back.
He quickly saluted, with a humble demeanor, politely saying, "Master Gong."
Rumors are just rumors; the grudges of the previous generation are of the previous generation. He wouldn’t automatically assume Master Gong as an enemy.
Master Gong also didn’t speak, just examining him, then suddenly said, "It was I who asked the Hall Master to call you, but the one who wants to see you is me."
Li Yuan curiously asked, "I wonder what instructions Master Gong has?"
Master Gong chuckled, "Let’s talk about weapon forging. Tell me about the ’Heavenly Smell’ that Zhu Ban passed on to you."
Li Yuan responded with an "Oh," then opened his mouth and started speaking.
This straightforward attitude made Master Gong pause.
Seriously?
He spoke in a manner that was quite arrogant, overbearing, like bullying a child.
And Li Yuan just said it directly?
"You... you just said it?"
"Weapon Forger may have grudges, but Weapon Casting Skill does not," Li Yuan answered in a calm voice, his eyes flickering with an obsession that only Master Gong could understand.
Master Gong was stunned for a moment.
This sentence seemed to deeply move him... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
A few breaths later, Master Gong came back to himself. He impatiently waved his hand to dismiss the disciple at the door and then closed the gate, engaging in a deep conversation with Li Yuan.
After Li Yuan elaborated on the ’Heavenly Smell,’ Master Gong couldn’t help but start talking about his ’Measuring Land’ Secret Technique.
The previous Master Zhu, although also nearby the Divine Wood Hall, had no dealings with Master Gong, and they had no interactions at all, let alone exchanges.
Now, these two weapon forgers ended up talking together, and the more they talked, the more they enjoyed it.
Even as it got late, they didn’t want to part ways.
Master Gong called for a disciple to have dinner brought over.
Li Yuan called a disciple to inform the Jing family that he wouldn’t be coming home to sleep tonight.
The two talked through the night, then simply took Grain Avoidance Pills and went to the nearby Weapon Casting Hall to discuss and verify.
This discussion went on for half a month.
Li Yuan truly gained a lot.
And Master Gong seemed to have had some enlightenment as well.
For a moment, the two who might have become enemies seemed to have a sense of meeting too late.
When parting came, Li Yuan respectfully saluted and said, "Thank you, Master Gong, for your guidance."
Master Gong waved his hand, repeatedly saying "It’s nothing," and then asked, "Li Yuan, do you still need a wife? I certainly have beautiful ones among my descendants. I can find one for you, and we can become relatives?"
Li Yuan looked serious and said formally, "We dedicate ourselves to the weapon forging career, women will only delay the speed of my hammer."
Master Gong laughed, "Good, good, good! I concede this willingly!
Zhu Ban, that kid, at least in choosing a son-in-law, has better judgment than me, I concede!
Next time, when I go to the frontline, I will tell him. Hahaha!"
Li Yuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Better not say it, otherwise, if the father-in-law learns that I shared his secret technique with you, he might be so angry he coughs up blood."
Master Gong said, "He won’t be that petty.
We may be enemies, but we are all pursuing the creation of a real Fourth Grade Spirit Array.
And... in exchanging with you, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t also exchange with other Weapon Forgers of the Lotus Sect?"
