104: Chapter 104 Finding Something to Eat, First Encounter with Weapon Forging

A streak of blue light flashed by and vanished. A delicate grunt suddenly came from behind the door, followed immediately by the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor.

Zhao Feng was stunned. He understood what had happened, and his heart was instantly filled with displeasure.

He walked into the room and said indifferently, "Don't push yourself too hard while you're still injured. There is some millet porridge here; drink it if you're hungry. I'm going out for a while."

Ignoring the woman who had fallen to the ground, he walked straight out.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Feng braced his body and flew up into the air.

Constantly taking advantage of the villagers wasn't his style; he needed to go hunt some prey.

Because he was worried that the woman might hurt the villagers, he didn't dare go too far. He only took a rough look at the surrounding environment and gained a preliminary understanding of the vicinity.

The village was in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a mountain on the fourth side as well, though it wasn't very high.

Flying in the air, Zhao Feng quickly found his prey: a rock goat.

The rock goat walked as if flying on the steep slopes. Even predators like the Sand Wolf found it difficult to catch one, and they could even be in mortal danger if they encountered the head-butting of a rock goat's large horns on the mountain.

But such an ordinary creature was nothing to Zhao Feng. With a single dive, he killed the rock goat with one punch, then carried it and returned to the village.

He had been gone for no more than four or five minutes, and the woman had not left the room.

Zhao Feng threw the rock goat onto a large rock, intending to go inside to find a knife. Although he didn't need much effort to tear open the goat skin, he didn't want to make things too bloody.

"I'm sorry, I just… thought you were a bad person." The woman stood behind the door in shame and said in a low, timid voice.

Seeing how sincere she was, Zhao Feng's anger subsided. "It's fine, just don't be so reckless next time. If I were an ordinary person, wouldn't I have died by your hand?"

The woman hadn't expected Zhao Feng to forgive her so easily and didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at the untouched millet porridge, hurriedly picked it up, and said, "You must be hungry, have some porridge."

Zhao Feng looked at her ashamed expression and couldn't help but smile. "You are injured, so you should drink it; I'm not hungry. After you drink the porridge, lie down and don't move around. I'm going to go process the rock goat."

"It seems this woman isn't the type who is too difficult to get along with. I might need to learn news about this planet from her in the future, so getting along pleasantly would be for the best." Zhao Feng thought to himself.

Without waiting for her to speak, he went straight to find a knife.

There was nothing in the room. "I should have known it would be like this." Zhao Feng felt a bit troubled.

Suddenly, he patted his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about it?" With a thought, blade aura appeared in his hand. blade aura was still exuding intense Spiritual Qi; even after the great battle with the Demon Dragon, it hadn't suffered the slightest damage.

"Is this your Magical Artifact?" The woman's voice came from behind him. She had finished the millet porridge, and her voice had a bit more strength.

Zhao Feng turned around holding blade aura. Seeing her pale face and timid appearance, a sense of pity suddenly arose in his heart. "Sit down first. It's called blade aura, and it's an old partner of mine."

The woman sat on the bed as instructed, looking at blade aura without any surprise. "This is a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. For your Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, it is sufficient."

Zhao Feng became interested. "This Magical Artifact has so many distinctions?"

The woman frowned. "Didn't your master teach you? These items are generally divided into Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, and treasures that exist beyond these artifacts. We won't even mention Magic Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and Immortal Treasures; they are too rare. But Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts are quite common. You actually don't know this?"

"Uh!" Zhao Feng was speechless.

The woman casually handed over a jade piece. "Here, this contains a simple introduction to these items. Take a look at it first."

She handed the jade piece to Zhao Feng, then suddenly muttered to herself, "How do I know so much? Who am I, really?" As she struggled to think, a wave of pain hit her brain again. She bit her silver teeth together, not letting out a single moan.

Zhao Feng took the jade piece and gently helped her lie back down on the bed, saying softly, "Don't think too much for now. Your head is injured; I imagine that as long as you slowly circulate your energy, you will be fine in a few days."

Two beautiful blushes appeared on the woman's cheeks. She frowned slightly and whispered, "Thank you."

Zhao Feng smiled in acknowledgement and then walked out of the room.

With the help of blade aura, processing the rock goat became very simple. The rock goat was quickly skinned and then cut into several pieces.

Zhao Feng went to find some thatch; he prepared to give some to each family. For the villagers, eating meat was difficult, but for Zhao Feng, it was such a simple matter.

Amidst the villagers' expressions of gratitude, Zhao Feng returned to the small house. The woman had already fallen into a deep sleep. With nothing else to do, he enjoyed the warm sunlight while taking out that jade piece to begin studying it.

The jade piece was made of high-quality white jade, warm and smooth. It was about 30 centimeters long and as wide as a little finger. The jade piece was completely blank, with no characters on it at all.

Zhao Feng wasn't confused. Since there were cultivators, he guessed that this thing must be the legendary Jade Slip.

Novels from his past life told him that Jade Slips should be scanned directly with Mental Energy. Whether that was true or not, it would definitely have something to do with Mental Energy.

He activated his Heavenly Eye, and his Mental Energy covered the surroundings. In the field of vision of his Mental Energy, the Jade Slip was emitting a faint white light. It was indeed special; it seemed reading more novels was still somewhat useful.

He focused his intent, and a small vortex appeared on the Jade Slip. As soon as he made contact, Zhao Feng felt that some things had suddenly appeared in his consciousness. His brain felt swollen; it must have been because he had received too much information at once.

This information was massive and could be described as having both text and pictures. Zhao Feng naturally didn't know the characters of Yaoling Planet, but after the infusion from the Jade Slip, he seemed to understand the meaning of the characters directly.

Naturally, through comparison, Zhao Feng had basically become familiar with these characters; the strengthening of his brain was extraordinary.

"If this method were used to learn languages on Earth, wouldn't it be very simple?" After this sudden thought, Zhao Feng began to carefully study the knowledge that had suddenly appeared.

The book in the Jade Slip was titled "Brief Discussion on Artifacts," an introductory reading material about artifacts.

On Yaoling Planet, whether it was the natal Magical Artifacts formed from parts of the Yao Race's bodies, or the various items with magical effects manufactured by the Human Race, they were all divided into six types.

Just as the woman had said: Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and Immortal Treasures. These magical items were not judged by their appearance, but by their effects, materials, the amount of Spiritual Qi they contained, and the number of Restrictions within the items to determine their grade.

In other words, the grade did not have much of a relationship with the increase in combat power.

At the end, the author also left behind a simple cultivation Mind-Cultivation Technique—the "Fire Control Technique," which was likely intended for those just starting to learn Artifact Refining so they could embark on this path.

"The author is quite respectable." Zhao Feng thought.

"The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is, is my Spiritual Qi the same as the Spiritual Qi of Yaoling Planet?"
