Chapter 316: Prank quest!?
Feng Xiao nodded, “I believe in master Tie Wu Ya, but just what is this ‘transform’ attribute?”
“I don’t know.” Tie Wu Ya shook his head, “The stats of a Super Sacred Grade Gem, how could they be something that we mortals understand? Little brother Wind Spirit, which piece of equipment do you want to mount this on?”
His hands couldn’t help unconsciously rubbing together. The Heavenly Profound Fantasy Jade and the Sacred Heavenly Fate Stone, one Super Sacred Grade and one Sacred Grade, each one was something that people could go their entire lives without seeing. Now that they were glowing in his hands, he already couldn’t wait any longer. The excitement that filled his heart was something that people couldn’t understand.
With a flash of golden light, the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand and added a bit of golden light to this hut. He asked in a soft voice in his mind, “Wan’er, is it alright?”
When he asked this, Feng Xiao’s expression turned stiff. Just what he asked was like what a man would ask if he was taking a woman’s first time.
“No problem! I am the Xuanyuan Sword’s sword spirit, the ethereal sword soul. As long as the Xuanyuan Sword isn’t destroyed, I won’t be injured at all. Moreover, I really want to experience the mysteries of a Super Sacred Grade Gem.” Xuanyuan Wan’er said with a smile.
“Alright.” Feng Xiao’s heart relaxed. He handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Tie Wu Ya, “Help me mount it to this sword.”
The Xuanyuan Sword’s stats had a clear description that it couldn’t be traded. The only exception was when Xuanyuan Wan’er agreed.
When Feng Xiao called out the Xuanyuan Sword, Tie Wu Ya was already attracted to this strange golden glow. That was because he could tell that this wasn’t the glow of a Gold Weapon and his inquisitive eyes had fallen on it without looking away.
Holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hands, Tie Wu Ya narrowed his eyes. He revealed a stunned look for a long time before turning to Feng Xiao with a strange look, “What material is this sword made from? I can’t recognize it at all……But I can feel a shocking aura and incomparable prestige from this, as if it’s a type of material that shouldn’t exist in this world……”
“Although I don’t know what sword this is, it should be able to match this Heavenly Profound Fantasy Jade!” His voice was filled with relief. He was worried that the Super Sacred Grade Gem would be wasted, but now it seems that his worries were unnecessary. He looked at Feng Xiao again. This young man from another world always brought him pleasant surprises and shocks.
“Rest assured and leave this to me. You and the little girls should leave first and don’t come back until I’m done forging.” Tie Wu Ya closed his eyes as he spoke in a soft voice.
“Oh? Why?” Feng Xiao asked with a confused look. He wanted to see what forging at the Sacred Grade would look like.
“I must gather all my focus and can’t be distracted at all. Please believe me.”
Feng Xiao hesitated a bit before asking Xuanyuan Wan’er, “Wan’er, can we leave for a bit?”
“No problem. It’s fine as long as it’s not too long. After the forging is over, I’ll come and find you.” Xuanyuan Wan’er said.
Feng Xiao gave a nod before taking Feng Yao’s hand, “Yao’er, let’s go. There are still many other things to do, so let’s leave this to master Tie Wu Ya.”
With the Sacred Heavenly Fate Stone, there was nothing that couldn’t be made and there was no forging that would fail. There was nothing for him to worry about at all.
When the door to the blacksmith was closed, the inside became much darker. Tie Wu Ya slowly opened his eyes with a bit of a complicated look.
A Super Divine Grade forging would attract the heavenly tribulation after it succeeded, let alone a Sacred Grade……
One Super Sacred Grade, one Sacred Grade, and a sword that definitely wasn’t normal. Tie Wu Ya suddenly revealed a satisfied smile. If he could complete this forging, then even if he died right after, he wouldn’t have any regrets.
“Big brother, where are we going? Are we going to hunt monsters?” Feng Yao asked him. With the increased intelligence of the “Demonic Dark Dragon’s Tear” and the “Radiant Sacred Dragon’s Tear”, she had 650 intelligence at level 0. In the entire Beginner Village, she couldn’t find a single monster that she couldn’t instantly kill.
“Ai, I want to too, but I don’t have a weapon right now.” Feng Xiao helpless spread his hand before suddenly stopping.
“What is it, big brother?” Feng Yao asked in a soft voice. She looked at him staring in a daze before giving a “yi” sound.
By the wall, there was a withered old man huddled there. With his green nest of hair, his white beard, and that face that was like withered bark, it was like he was a dead person. His eyes were tightly shut like they could never open.
“He……was also looking for the Holy Chaos Water.”
Feng Xiao finally thought of where he heard of the “Holy Chaos Water” the first time.
“Big brother, that old grandfather……”
“Ai, let’s not worry about him first, let’s go hand in a quest. To be honest, I really never thought that I would be able to complete this quest. I’m really looking forward to the reward for this quest.” Feng Xiao headed to the tightly shut small cabin by the edge of the village. The quest deadline was a year, so it was far from over.
When they turned to leave, the withered old man’s eyelid twitched, but the eye didn’t open. There was a very weak mutter that came from his mouth, “The Asura’s Brand and the Sacred One’s True Body, this laughable feeling has appeared again. Could it be that my spiritual sense has really gone crazy?”
“Quest?” Feng Yao was surprised before quickly understanding, “Is it the finding the soul quest that big brother mentioned before?”
“Right! My Yao’er really is smart. Look, it’s over there.”
The door was tightly closed and it was so quiet that there wasn’t a single sound. Feng Xiao didn’t knock on the door and shouted, “Madame Ma, I am Wind Spirit!! I have brought back your husband’s soul!!”
There wasn’t the laborious waiting of half an hour knocking on the door like the first time. With a flurry of footsteps, the door was suddenly opened.
Madame Ma’s hair was more scattered and her face looked thinner and paler compared to before. She looked at Wind Spirit and couldn’t help being filled with disbelief before asking with a face filled with hope, “Adventurer Wind Spirit……It really is you……Have you really found my husband’s soul?”
“Of course. His soul was taken by a powerful dark attribute demon beast and I accidentally found it. I specially came from the Heavenly Dragon Continent to bring it back to you.” Feng Xiao said with a single change to his expression. There was already a black box that appeared in his hand. It was the “Sealed Spirit Box” that he had received from the Demonic Dark Dragon.
With the familiar aura in front of her, Madame Ma took the box with trembling hands before her tears finally couldn’t help falling, “That’s right, it’s this……This is my husband’s aura.”
She quickly left behind tears without saying a thing and rushed back into the room. She didn’t even have time to thank them. Feng Xiao couldn’t help saying with a sigh, “The love between this couple really runs deep.”
“Let’s go take a look, I want to see the loving scene of this husband and wife reuniting.” Feng Yao pulled his arm as she walked in. From Madam Ma’s happy and impatient expression, she could tell that she already had a way of returning the soul to the body.
The room was very small and narrow and it looked very messy. There was a crude bamboo bed with a grey curtain around it that appeared in front of them. On the bed was a middle aged man dressed as a hunter who had his eyes closed that wasn’t moving at all. There was a blue glowing light barrier around him that seemed to be protecting his body.
Without the help of any tools of spells, the “Sealed Spirit Box” carefully opened when pointing at Ma Lie Hu’s head. There was a gray thing that almost couldn’t be seen that came out of the box and was absorbed by Ma Lie Hu’s body. Madame Ma put down the box and let out a long sigh of relief.
The two walking in didn’t make Madame Ma turn around as her eyes were still on the man in the bed……Without knowing how long passed, the eyes of the man in the bed suddenly twitched and Madame Ma’s heart also jumped.
“Ah……Ah……”
The man suddenly sat up in the bed like a jiangshi and gave a long yawn before rubbing his eyes. He muttered, “Wu, I really slept a long time……Ai? Strange, why does my body feel so numb like I’ve been lying for half a year……Ah…….Ah, ah, achoo. Strange, why do I feel so cold?”
Feng Xiao secretly curled his lips. There was a water spirit around him, it was strange if he wasn’t cold.
When his eyes gradually cleared, Ma Lie Hu saw his wife who had her face covered in tears and two strangers in the room. After being surprised, he asked in a confused voice, “These two are?”
Madame Ma finally woke up from the large joy and grabbed his hands as she cried, “You’re finally awake……I thought that for the rest of this life……If it wasn’t for this adventurer……”
She finally thought of something and stood up in a panic. She even pulled the man with a confused look out of the bed and kneeled down in front of Feng Xiao, “Benefactor, I really don’t know how to repay your grace. This husband and wife will forever be grateful to you.”
As expected……she kneeled again.
This Madame Ma, she kneeled when asking him to take this quest and kneeled to thank him after he finished it.
Wait……She said that she would never “forget it in this life……”, that’s it? There was nothing else? Could it be that there was no reward to this quest? Feng Xiao felt like falling down.
Looking at this poor hut, Feng Xiao felt more and more sure of this.
After knocking on the door for half an hour and being cheated into taking this quest. Accidentally falling into the Lost Soul Depths without dying, meeting the Demonic Dark Dragon and getting the quest item from her before dying to come back to the Beginner Village to finish this quest……This kind of brutal quest that was as hard as defying the heavens, was it all just a prank?
Feng Xiao really wanted to pound the Ascend system.
