Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1046 - 1044: Return

It must be said that Fang Gu’s talent for Artifact Refining really was exceptional. During the subsequent refining process, everything went quite smoothly for the most part. Although a few minor issues did arise, Lin Feng’s guidance rectified them all.

For the swords that followed, Lin Feng’s input was no longer necessary, as Fang Gu completely took over the task on his own. After finishing these swords, Fang Gu didn’t show any signs of exhaustion. On the contrary, he was incredibly excited, his eyes practically shining with light. He had thoroughly mastered his junior brother’s incredibly magical Artifact Refining Technique, and his heart was filled with nothing but joy, sheer joy!

By this time, Xia Lalan had become like a statue, rendered speechless by Lin Feng’s miraculous abilities. It’s important to note that an Artifact Refiner’s status in the Hidden World was even higher than that of an Alchemist. The reason Fang Gu was so famous lay in his identity as an Artifact Refiner, but Lin Feng’s refinements were even more formidable than Fang Gu’s, which was truly unimaginable! Suddenly she thought of something – if people in the Hidden World knew the extent of Lin Feng’s skills in Artifact Refining, the entire Hidden World might just go insane...

"What are you waiting for? Come over, everyone gets one. Be careful not to hurt yourselves!" Lin Feng, seeing the eager looks on the children’s faces, waved them over to pick up the swords. Now that the swords were refined, it was only natural to distribute them among the children.

The moment they heard Lin Feng’s words, the children swarmed forward, each taking a shortsword and playing with it fondly. They never imagined they would own such fine swords, and they were so delighted they didn’t know what to say...

"Senior brother, do you have any quality materials here? I want to make some weapons for the Old Monster trio." Without paying much attention to the children’s delighted state, Lin Feng turned and asked his senior brother. Now that the children’s weapons were taken care of, he needed to attend to the Old Monster trio.

"Junior brother, there’s no need for you to worry about that. Leave it to me. Now that I’ve learned the technique, I’ll personally tailor-make their weapons. It will certainly satisfy both you and them. I want to take this opportunity to challenge my limits. What do you think? Let it be a favor for your senior brother."

Upon hearing that Lin Feng intended to forge weapons for the Old Monster trio, Fang Gu immediately interjected, eagerly volunteering to take on the task. The very thought excited him; if he could produce his most proud work within his lifetime, it would be the fulfillment of a wish!

"Very well, Senior Brother. Their weapons will be in your care then." Lin Feng nodded in agreement at Fang Gu’s insistence, for not only had the senior brother indeed mastered the skill, but also Lin Feng didn’t wish to spend too much time on this task.

"We’re all family here, no need for formality. Come on, let’s go out for a drink." Fang Gu laughed upon hearing Lin Feng. They were, after all, one family, so there was no need for such courtesies. With that, he invited Lin Feng and everyone in the Refining Room to go out with him. He wanted to have a good drink with his junior brother.

Thus, everyone followed him to a spacious room inside the Artifact Pavilion. Once the drinks and dishes were laid out, they all began to drink heartily. Xia Lalan and the children focused on their meal. Once full, Huang Rui took them to the market to wander around.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and the Old Monster trio kept Fang Gu company with the alcohol, and soon the conversation began to flow freely.

"Senior Fang, I never imagined I’d encounter such a highly-skilled person as yourself!"

"What high-skilled person? Compared to my junior brother, I am nothing. Drink up!"

"Brother-in-law, are you returning to the Xia Family?"

"Yes, I’ve been out for several days. I’ll be taking the children back tomorrow. I can’t neglect the matters there."

"Then what about us?"

"Wait here for my senior brother to finish forging your weapons. By the way, Senior Brother, do you have medicinal ingredients and a Pill Furnace here?"

"Yes, I do. Junior brother, you know how to practice Alchemy?"

"I do. Here’s what I’m thinking, before I leave, I’ll prepare some Elixirs for them to facilitate their Cultivation while they wait for you to finish forging their weapons."

"This is no problem at all, just a word from me. Whatever herbs you need, just tell Huang Rui, and if that doesn’t work, give a shout to the four Prominent Families; they’ll send them over quickly."

"Then there’s no problem..."

While they drank, Lin Feng arranged the rest of the details. The Spiritual Energy here in the Hidden World is more abundant than in the Secular World; cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort. Taking advantage of the interval while waiting for his senior brother to refine weapons, training here is perfect. Plus, with the elixirs he provided, the three would surely make significant progress here, so no time would be wasted.

Fang Gu naturally supported Lin Feng’s idea and didn’t even wonder why his junior brother could perform alchemy. Following a master as enchantingly indescribable as theirs, it was no surprise that the junior brother was already so talented in Artifact Refining. If he couldn’t perform alchemy, that would have been truly odd! As for herbs, they were no big deal for him; just one word from him and the big Prominent Families would be eager to deliver whatever was needed.

Although the Old Monster trio knew Lin Feng was capable of anything, they were still struck by the fact that he could perform alchemy. Elixirs in the Secular World were extremely rare, basically relics passed down from ancient times. No one expected Lin Feng could perform alchemy. If only they had known sooner, their strength could have increased even faster!

But then they realized why it was the way it was. From the moment they entered the Hidden World, they felt the richness of the Spiritual Energy here, far surpassing that of the Secular World. In such an environment, it was normal for some Spiritual Medicines to grow. In contrast, the Sparse Spiritual Energy of the Secular World meant that Spiritual Medicines simply couldn’t grow. Even if one knew Alchemy, there weren’t the necessary raw materials, so Lin Feng simply couldn’t perform alchemy in the Secular World!

As the drinks continued past the third round and the dishes lost their novelty, before they knew it, everyone but Lin Feng had drunk too much and went to rest. Lin Feng, seizing the moment, found Huang Rui, who had just returned, got a Pill Furnace and herbs, and started to focus on concocting elixirs for the Old Monster trio...

The next morning, Lin Feng finished all his affairs and had arranged things for the Old Monster trio. He left with Xia Lalan, leading the children away...

On the way back to the Xia Family, the children were ecstatic, burrowing into the forest like a swarm of locusts, eager to slay a few Demon Beasts to test their weapons. Xia Lalan found this behavior headache-inducing, not expecting the children to become so crazy upon receiving weapons.

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by the children’s enthusiasm, knowing they were happy, he let them be. Under his Divine Sense, they weren’t in any danger anyway. However, Xia Lalan couldn’t remain as composed as Lin Feng. After a few failed attempts to control the kids, she gave in and followed them with Lin Feng, ensuring they stayed out of trouble.

Although worried about the possibility of accidents, she still felt immense joy in her heart. She could see the children had fully bonded, with no conflicts like before. And they had all received suitable weapons, which delighted her even more.

Thinking of this, as she walked and watched Lin Feng, Xia Lalan felt incredibly lucky to know him. Lin Feng’s power was boundless, and she was eager to discover what other abilities Lin Feng had. Such an extraordinary person had never before appeared in the Hidden World!

As she had this thought, Xia Lalan suddenly felt her heart pound violently, her mind becoming a chaotic mess. Unversed in matters of emotion, she didn’t understand what this turmoil signified.

Now, Lin Feng had planted a seed in her heart – a seed that was beginning to sprout...

The journey was safe without incident. Although the children were keen to kill Demon Beasts, they didn’t encounter any formidable ones along the way. They were all weak and easily dispatched by the group of kids, who felt unsatisfied without a challenge. However, this put Xia Lalan at ease, knowing that there wouldn’t be any mishaps.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon when Lin Feng and Xia Lalan led the children back to the Xia Family. Xia Lalan went off to report to the Family Head, while Lin Feng stayed to watch the children as they rested in the training field.

The kids were still in an extreme state of excitement, continuously brandishing their new daggers. Had Lin Feng not been there, they would have rushed to the forest for a proper hunt. Lin Feng obviously couldn’t let the children do as they pleased. He ordered them to meditate and practice cultivation, urging them not to waste all their time. He planned to wait for Xia Lalan to return and then organize what was next.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s instructions, the children reluctantly did as told and sat down to meditate. However, at that moment, even in meditation, they could hardly calm their minds—having just acquired such fine weapons, it was nearly impossible for them to stay still.

Lin Feng didn’t mind; Xia Lalan would be back soon enough. He intended to turn Xia Jianwu and the other children over to her care and then prepare for the rest to go hunt Demon Beasts in the forest. They had wasted enough time already, and could not afford any more. Besides, after a few days of rest, the kids were in peak physical condition; not letting them move around would be a waste.

Meanwhile, Xia Lalan had found Family Head Xia Yuntian. Seeing her return, Xia Yuntian asked with a smile, "Everyone made it back safe?"
