224: Golden bow, damaged Taoist weapon

Half an hour later, the battle ended. The demonic beasts in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range were completely eradicated. Everyone gathered together, counting their numbers. There were naturally some casualties from fighting the demonic beasts.

“Sun Commander hasn’t returned. Go look for him immediately.”

“He Xuan hasn’t returned either. I didn’t see him during the battle with the demonic beasts. I wonder where he went.”

“......”

Everyone looked around. Most of them were injured, and several had died.

Fortunately, Lin Qinghuang had acted in time, helping them eliminate many demonic beasts. Otherwise, the death toll would have been much higher this time.

Xie Weilou stood not far away, leaning against a large tree, his body smeared with blood, his face extremely pale, giving the impression that he was severely injured.

“......”

Lin Qinghuang put away her blood-stained longsword, glanced at Xie Weilou, but did not expose him.

A disciple from the Tai Xuan Sect looked at Lin Qinghuang, cupped his fists, and asked, “May I ask Commander Lin, why hasn’t Huai Tingzi returned yet?”

Lin Qinghuang calmly said, “After we dealt with the nine Territory Expansion Realm demonic beasts, Huai Tingzi went alone to pursue a stronger black flood dragon. As for why he hasn’t returned, I don’t know. You can go look for him.”

“......”

Upon hearing this, the people from the Tai Xuan Sect quickly went to search.

The Captians of the First Hall also went to search for Sun Yurong.

Xie Weilou looked at everyone present. He waved his hand and said, “This Young Master is severely injured. I’ll go back to heal first.”

Zhao Guang quickly said, “Thank you all for dealing with the demonic beasts tonight. Everyone, please go back and heal your injuries. I will wait here a bit longer. Tomorrow, I will definitely host a banquet to reward everyone.”

“No problem, no problem. Then we shall take our leave.”

Everyone bowed and then departed.

Xuan Province City.

An inn.

After Xie Weilou took a hot bath and changed into a black robe, he walked towards another room.

Knock, knock!

He gently knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

Lin Qinghuang’s voice rang out.

Xie Weilou pushed open the door and entered the room.

Lin Qinghuang sat on the bed, enveloped in a faint green light. She slowly opened her eyes, and the green light dissipated.

Xie Weilou sized up Lin Qinghuang and said with a smile, “Lin Qinghuang, you’re so beautiful. How about I take a bite of you? I was injured fighting demonic beasts tonight, and I need to replenish myself!”

Lin Qinghuang automatically filtered out Xie Weilou’s words. She calmly asked, “Do you know the origins of those two Mystic Form cultivators tonight?”

Xie Weilou found a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea: “You must have guessed it, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”

Lin Qinghuang got up and walked towards Xie Weilou. She picked up a teacup, poured herself some tea, and took a light sip: “The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has connections with the Ten Thousand Demons Gate. They are not good people. Demonic beasts are indeed ferocious, but human hearts can sometimes be even more sinister.”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, not continuing the topic. He asked, “Qinghuang, you were able to refine tracking jade talismans before. I wonder if you can refine treasures?”

“You have a favor to ask of me?”

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou directly took out the golden curved bow and the flood dragon tendon: “This curved bow looks like a treasure, but it’s missing a bowstring. Can you see if it can be repaired?”

Lin Qinghuang took the golden curved bow and the flood dragon tendon. She gazed at the bow, pondering, “This bow is not simple. It should be a damaged Dao Artifact…”

“A damaged Dao Artifact?”

Xie Weilou was a little surprised. He had felt that this bow was extraordinary before, thinking it was just a high-grade Spirit Artifact, but he didn’t expect it to be a Dao Artifact.

Lin Qinghuang said, “A Mystic Form flood dragon tendon is still a bit lacking. If it’s used to repair this Dao Artifact, it can at most unleash one-third of its power, and the techniques that can be used are limited. To truly repair it, you would at least need a Divine Court demonic beast’s tendon.”

Dao Artifacts are incomparable to Spirit Artifacts; they are of a higher grade and possess more terrifying power. A Mystic Form flood dragon tendon, if refined with this curved bow, simply wouldn’t be able to withstand the bow’s power and would quickly snap.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “No matter! Just refine it for me. I can add some Restriction runes to it.”

Since this golden curved bow was a Dao Artifact, the Mystic Form flood dragon tendon was certainly a bit low in grade. However, adding some Restriction runes to it could make the flood dragon tendon more durable.

“Restriction runes? Alright!”

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently. She stood up, formed hand seals, and a surge of power enveloped the flood dragon tendon, directly beginning the refining process...

“My Qinghuang is truly amazing. This Young Master thinks highly of you! You refine it well. I’ll lie down for a bit. If you get tired from refining, just lie on me. I promise not to move a muscle.”

Xie Weilou’s smile was wide. He drank all his tea and walked towards the bed, lying down directly on it.

“......”

Lin Qinghuang glared at Xie Weilou. This fellow really deserved a beating.

At the same time.

Another inn.

“Reporting to Jin Yu, Sun Commander died tragically in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range.”

A group of Captians from the First Hall bowed to a Mysterious Person dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask.

The Mysterious Person indifferently said, “It’s normal for people to die when fighting demonic beasts. The demonic beasts in Xuan Province City have been dealt with, so your mission is complete. You can return tomorrow.”

“Understood!”

This group of Captians respectfully bowed and then turned to leave.

The Mysterious Person stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the moonlight outside the window, muttering to herself, “If Xie Weilou were truly that easy to kill, he would have died countless times already.”

She turned around and slowly asked, “Have you thoroughly investigated the forces that came to Xuan Province this time?”

A woman in a black dress appeared in the room: “I’ve investigated thoroughly. Ye Guhong invited seven major sects, but only the Tai Xuan Sect, Hehuan Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and Tianyin Temple were able to make it. The Holy Academy and the other sects have not made any moves for now.”

The Mysterious Person said indifferently, “With two Sword Immortals overseeing this time, the danger of the Void Heaven Sword Arena trip will be significantly reduced.”

The black-dressed woman said, “Still, don’t let your guard down. After all, that’s the Void Heaven Sword Arena, an unknown territory. Even Sword Immortals might not be able to control the situation. I won’t go with you, so be careful yourself.”

“Opportunities like this are rare. I have to try!”

A glint flashed in the Mysterious Person’s eyes.

........

The next day.

Morning.

Inside the room.

Xie Weilou opened his eyes and stretched, having slept very soundly last night.

He sat up and looked around the room, seeing Lin Qinghuang cultivating on the floor.

Xie Weilou left the bed and looked at the table nearby, where the repaired golden curved bow was placed.

He picked up the curved bow; it felt extremely heavy in his hand.

He drew the bowstring, and spiritual power burst forth, condensing into a golden arrow. A powerful aura of destruction revived, and if this arrow were shot, the entire inn would instantly turn to dust.

Xie Weilou reined in his power, and the arrow dissipated. He looked at Lin Qinghuang and said with a smile, “Lin Qinghuang, you worked hard all night. You must be very tired, right? Would you like me to give you a leg massage?”
