"Oh my god..."
Wu Tiejiang looked at the furnace as if he had seen a ghost: "What...what's going on?"
Zuo Xiaoduo blinked his innocent eyes: "What...what's going on?"
Wu Tiejiang tapped Zuo Xiaoduo's forehead with one finger, making him fall flat on his face: "Why are you pretending to be confused! There are only two of us at the scene. If it's not me, then it must be you, or at least it's related to you!"
"I... am not pretending..."
Zuo Xiaoduo still looked innocent and refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"… "
Wu Tiejiang looked down on such a lazy scumbag, then turned to carefully examine the furnace and became delighted.
All the residual and mixed heat that had accumulated on the furnace over the years was gone, and now the entire furnace looked as if it was newly built!
"Hmph, extracting heat in this way is helping me. Why are you afraid to admit it?" Wu Tiejiang snorted.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't believe it.
Taking away so much heat actually helped
This is cheating me...
You must be fishing for me to admit it and then settle the score later. I am very familiar with this routine. Uncle Wu, you are not bad looking, but you are smart and have beautiful ideas!
I don't know about this unorthodox method. I, your nephew, am an expert in this field. How could I be fooled by this? !
"I really didn't smoke."
"If you didn't smoke, then you didn't smoke." Wu Tiejiang didn't pursue the matter. He held Zuo Xiaoduo's shoulder and said earnestly: "Your crow... Don't show it in front of people easily!"
"Hmm?" Zuo Xiaoduo narrowed his eyes.
"That crow, there's a high chance that it has the blood of the ancient three-legged golden crow..."
Wu Tiejiang sighed: "I really don't know where your luck comes from. You can even come across such a good thing, and it is recognized as the owner. God is really blind..."
"But before you grow stronger, you must not expose yourself. Just remember this! It's fine if our Star Soul people see it, but if it gets out and falls into the ears of the Wu Alliance and the Taoist Alliance... then you and your crow will be lucky if you can survive for three days!"
Wu Tiejiang patted his shoulder, finished his message, and stood up.
"Yes, I remember it. Thank you Uncle Wu for your guidance." Zuo Xiaoduo was startled.
"Well, I have already built everything I need to build on your side. Even the furnace has cooled down. It seems like God is trying to drive me away!"
Wu Tiejiang was a little reluctant: "Tomorrow, I will leave."
"What should we do with those Starry Sky Eternal Stones that haven't melted yet? If you go over there, can anyone help you melt them?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked worriedly.
"Do you think you are the only one who is practicing the Extreme Flame Body? There are still a few people in this world who are good at this. When we get there, there will be many masters. If we want to find a few people to help, it won't be difficult to activate the extreme heat or use the true essence to catalyze it. I don't think I will have to spit out my blood to help with the combustion."
Wu Tiejiang smiled.
"We don't have enough materials right now. When I get there, I'll find time to help you make the 40-meter-long sword. I'll give it to you the next time we meet."
"Nephew got it. Thank you, Uncle Wu."
"What are you thanking me for?" Wu Tiejiang felt a little disappointed, but more proud.
A smile appeared on his face: "Most of the weapons I made today are made of Qianhuan Gold, Tianwu Copper, Indestructible Iron, and Starry Sky Silver as the main materials, and Starry Sky Indestructible Stone as the auxiliary materials..."
"If I'm not mistaken... these weapons, perhaps in the future, each one will not be too simple."
Wu Tiejiang felt the mysterious pull and smiled: "This is my calamity, but also my fate. Calamity, I don't know how much blood these weapons I use will drink in the future... This is all my karma."
"But these weapons I use may also bring me luck... It is also my karma."
"Xiaoduo, hurry up and practice, especially your hammer method, the way of yin and yang; your sword method and hammer method, the art of lightness and heaviness... This is what is most needed for future master duels!"
"yes."
"Give me some wine tonight, and we'll have a drink together. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"good!"
That night, Zuo Xiaoduo and Wu Tiejiang got drunk together; Li Chenglong accompanied them for half the night and then left on the pretext of going out to look for Xiang Bing.
This is not Li Chenglong being rude.
Instead, a small circle has been formed now; Li Chenglong is the second-in-command; in terms of influence and strength, he is someone who can pose a subtle threat to Zuo Xiaoduo.
only one!
Although Zuo Xiaoduo doesn't care, Li Chenglong himself has to be careful about the degree of this.
At this time, it might not be a big deal for Zuo Xiaoduo and Li Chenglong to not pay attention, but sometimes a slight inattention could easily cause the brothers below to have certain associations.
So Li Chenglong left.
The relationship between the bosses is the relationship between the bosses.
If I need help, I can ask the boss for help, and then I can go to Uncle Wu in the boss's name to get help.
But it is absolutely impossible to approach and make friends with someone rashly.
This is the proper way for people to get along with each other!
I often see people introducing their brothers to their friends, and then the two of them get so excited that they ignore the person who introduced them...
This is a manifestation of extreme immaturity.
It is also extremely selfish and particularly despicable behavior!
In life, it is okay to be at the bottom normally, but when you reach a certain height, one wrong step, one lack of consideration or care can stain you with an indelible stain, and you will be overthrown and there will be no recovery!
Li Chenglong understands this truth deeply.
So he pays attention, so he avoids and keeps his distance.
"You are a good little brother, very worldly-wise." Looking at Li Chenglong's departing back, Wu Tiejiang drank as if he was drunk.
But his eyes were still clear.
"He knows how to measure and when to advance and retreat; he is capable, thoughtful, gifted, and wise; he is loyal and righteous, but the only thing he lacks is ambition."
Wu Tiejiang commented: "It's rare to find someone like this."
Zuo Xiaoduo was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhongzhong is indeed good."
Wu Tiejiang reminded him, "But you have to be careful not to give him any chance to grow his ambition. If you are always far ahead in cultivation, you don't have to consider this section. But if one day he catches up with you very quickly, or even reaches the point where he is on par with you..."
Wu Tiejiang transmitted a message: "Once that time comes, if you don't want to break up, just quit your group. Otherwise, it will either be a life-and-death feud, or you will be wiped out!"
Zuo Xiaoduo showed an innocent smile: "Uncle Wu, it's too early to give these reminders now."
Wu Tiejiang laughed: "We will all be watching you."
Zuo Xiaoduo smiled, drank the wine in the glass, and showed the bottom of the glass to Wu Tiejiang.
Wu Tiejiang also laughed and drank it all in one gulp.
The next morning, Wu Tiejiang got up and walked out of the villa, but saw Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian already waiting at the door to see him off.
"gone!"
Wu Tiejiang waved his hand and flew up, instantly turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky at a high speed.
Watching Wu Tiejiang's figure disappear.
Zuo Xiaonian said softly: "What Uncle Wu said is a bit... Although it's a bit over-thought, it's also worth your attention."
Zuo Xiaoduo chuckled and said, "The adult world is really complicated sometimes."
Zuo Xiaonian smiled slightly.
There are some things that need attention.
But we don’t necessarily have to be on high alert every day.
It's good to keep everything in mind and maintain an open mind!
"Today I will break through the cloud."
Zuo Xiaoduo said.
"How many times have you suppressed it now?" Zuo Xiaonian asked with concern.
"That's thirty-nine times." Zuo Xiaoduo frowned and said, "This time when I enter the Void Destruction Tower, I feel that I should be able to suppress it two more times, and that's the limit."
"That's the forty-first time?" Zuo Xiaonian looked at him with bright eyes.
"Yes. Anyway, it can only be forty-two at most, but the chance of suppressing it forty-second time is very slim. I don't hold out much hope."
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed softly.
"The Heart of the Blazing Sun has finally been completely absorbed by me. Now... it has become a piece of waste stone."
Zuo Xiaonian said, "It is said that two of the largest volcanoes are in the Kanto region. Perhaps when we have time, we can go look for them."
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded.
Then he chuckled: "Fortunately, we still have a lot of top-grade and superior Star Soul Jade on hand, enough for us to use..."
“… not formal.”
After Wu Tiejiang left, Zuo Xiaoduo told Li Chenglong to ask for leave for him, and then he plunged into the Sky-Destroying Tower.
This time it was a breakthrough.
Zuo Xiaoduo takes it very seriously.
Li Chenglong and his team have been breaking through Huayun for five days.
But for Zuo Xiaoduo, the time difference is far more than just five days.
Because he was calculating according to the elapsed time in the Void Extinction Tower.
In addition to the two days lost accompanying Wu Tiejiang in refining weapons, Zuo Xiaoduo's breakthrough was delayed by six months!
That was a full six months.
But Zuo Xiaoduo would rather delay it for a few more months to completely consolidate the foundation!
This time, he was just like Zuo Xiaonian. He achieved the breakthrough only after converting all his spiritual energy into the purest power of the Yan Yang Sutra!
This section is crucial.
As for the level of his cultivation, Zuo Xiaoduo was not in a hurry at all.
Even if Li Chenglong and others broke through to the level of Yu Shen now, Zuo Xiaoduo would not be in a hurry.
Because he knows what he is doing.
"Uncle Wu, you worry too much." Zuo Xiaoduo took a deep breath of the air in the Sky-Destroying Tower. Only here could he truly reveal his true feelings to himself.
"Li Chenglong will never pose a threat to me, ever!"
Zuo Xiaoduo smiled. He was very confident about this.
However, confidence does not necessarily mean that there is no consideration at all. Just like when Lan Xiangcao first came to Fenghai, she tried.
"You don't know how afraid I am of death... I'm being very cautious."
Zuo Xiaoduo laughed, took out all the prepared resources, directly used a piece of Star Soul Jade Heart, and began to practice and absorb.
The spiritual energy in Dantian became restless.
