1978 Tang Ke and Mr. Su


    Chu Liuyue was first shocked, then subconsciously asked, “Who?”


    Rong Xiu pondered for a moment before exining, “It’s said that he was an Armory Refinement Master from 10,000 years ago. He was extremely talented and powerful. The world didn’t know his exact name and only addressed him as ‘Mr. Su.’ After leaving behind these five holy weapons, he disappeared without a trace.”


    Chu Liuyue suddenly thought of something and continued asking, “What about the remaining five? Could it be—”


    Rong Xiu smiled and nced at her. “That’s right. The remaining five were refined by another person. This person is famous; he was the top Armory Refinement Master in the God Residence Realm at that time: Tang Ke.”


    !!


    Chu Liuyue had heard of this name before. In other words, almost all Armory Refinement Masters knew of this person.


    Tang Ke came from an ordinary n, yet he possessed extremely outstanding natural talent in Yuan instrument refinement. After he became famous, the entire family became one of the most powerful ns because of him.


    Unfortunately, an ident happened when he was refining weapons one day. After his death, the Tang family quickly fell and eventually perished.


    However, Chu Liuyue didn’t know that half of the top ten holy weapons were made by Tang Ke!


    “How do you… know everything?” Muttering, Chu Liuyue asked the question in her heart.


    Rong Xiu raised his brows. “This matter is recorded in the ‘Metaphysics.’ Almost every Armory Refinement Master know about it. You actually only know about it now?”


    In the God Residence Realm, ‘Metaphysics’ was considered an entry-level book for Armory Refinement Masters. It recorded some very basic information about refiners, as well as the deeds of many powerful refiners.


    Any cultivator who wanted to be a refiner would study it carefully.


    However, Chu Liuyue was an exception. She had never read this book before because… she only started toe into contact with Armory Refinement Masters after she went to Ling Xiao Academy.


    At that time, Rong Xiu was the one who brought her into the profession.


    She was very talented and understood everything extremely quickly, so she directly skipped this segment. As a result, she already had three holy weapons in her hands but didn’t even know their origins.


    Chu Liuyue touched her nose awkwardly. “Cough, you didn’t say that back then…”


    At that time, Rong Xiu had helped her pick out many relevant books, most of which were rather profound.


    She was busy studying those things all day, so she didn’t care so much.


    Rong Xiu raised his hand, and his phoenix eyes were filled with a gentle smile. “Alright, alright. It’s all my fault…”


    Chu Liuyue red at him.


    Her eyes were moving, and there was a rare charm to them.


    Rong Xiu’s heart was moved when he saw her. He wrapped his long arms around her and pulled her into his embrace. “…Actually, the top ten holy weapons are indeed very interesting.”


    “Back then, Tang Ke was already famous and was the most prestigious Armory Refinement Master in the entire God Residence Realm. Countless cultivators came to visit and tried their best to ask him for help in refining a suitable Yuan instrument. However, Tang Ke’s temper was very strange, and he had extremely high requirements. Very few people could ask him to help.”


    Chu Liuyue nodded.


    The status of an Armory Refinement Master was already extremely high, not to mention that he was one of the best. It was normal for such a person to be arrogant.


    “Later, Mr. Su suddenly appeared out of nowhere and personally issued a challenge to Tang Ke, requesting apetition to determine the winner.”


    Rong Xiu held her slender and fair fingers and yed with them. “Tang Ke originally didn’t want to pay attention to this nameless junior, but probably because no one had challenged him for too long, he chose to go to the appointment in the end. The two of thempeted for a full three years.”


    Chu Liuyue widened her eyes slightly. “Three years? Then, those ten holy weapons…”


    Rong Xiuughed and nodded. “The ten holy weapons were all refined in those three years.”


    Chu Liuyue gasped. In three years, the two of them had each refined five holy weapons! How much patience and energy would that take?


    Holy weapons are of a higher level than supreme Yuan instruments. They are extremely precious and difficult to refine!


    Even someone as powerful as Ancestor can only refine supreme Yuan instruments. Ancestor once said that he hadn’t even touched the threshold of a holy weapon.


    As for Tang Ke and Mr. Su, not only had they refined a holy weapon, but they had also refined more than one!


    “In this battle, the two of them fought to a draw. Mr. Su also became famous from then on, but this person was very mysterious. Almost no one knew his name and appearance. Not long after, he disappeared. Half a yearter, Tang Ke passed away.”


    Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. From the sound of it, the ending of these two people is a little inexplicable…


    “After Tang Ke’s death, the Tang family was in chaos. Everyone was eyeing them covetously and attacked them together. The Tang family quickly declined, but the key is… the holy weapons that everyone found in the Tang family weren’t five but… ten!”


    Chu Liuyue frowned slightly. “Mr. Su’s five pieces are also—”


    “That’s right. The ten holy weapons refined by the two of them were actually brought back by Tang Ke; it’s just that no one knew about this matter. After the Tang family fell, it was only known to the world. And in order to fight for those ten holy weapons, each family fought again. After a chaotic battle, some of the holy weapons were forcefully snatched and taken for themselves, and some were lost. From then on, their whereabouts became unknown.”


    Since then, nobody had seeded in refining new holy weapons. Hence, the ten of them were called the top ten holy weapons.


    “In that case, the so-called ranking was also decided by theter generations themselves?”


    Rong Xiu smiled and nodded. “Actually, there’s no ranking to begin with. Since they’re all holy weapons, there’s naturally not much difference. It’s just that they specialize in different things. Moreover, if an item of this level falls into the hands of different people, it will unleash a different amount of power. Isn’t that the case with your Flying Cloud Painting?”


    The Nan family had carefully treasured the Flying Cloud Painting for so many years, but they had never really understood it. On the other hand, the moment Chu Liuyue obtained it, she became the new owner of the Flying Cloud Painting.


    It wasn’t that the Flying Cloud Painting didn’t have enoughbat power but that the people from the Nan family didn’t notice it.


    Who knew if the other holy weapons were in the same situation?


    Chu Liuyue looked at the three holy weapons in front of her, and her eyes narrowed. “Then, these three items…”


    “These three items were all made by Mr. Su,” Rong Xiu said.


    Although no one had seen with their own eyes how Tang Ke and Mr. Supeted back then, the world still knew who made those holy weapons.


    Chu Liuyue nodded thoughtfully. No wonder… No wonder I felt that the aura on them was somewhat simr. So they really came from the same source.


    Knock, knock.


    Just as she was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.


    “Your Highness, Princess Consort, someone from the Yi family is here.” This was Yan Qing’s voice.


    Chu Liuyue stood up, put away the three holy weapons, and walked over.


    Rong Xiu followed her.


    “Who is it?” asked Chu Liuyue.


    ...


    Yan Qing’s expression changed slightly as he lowered his head. “It’s… the head of the Yi family, Jun Jiuqing!”
