Chapter 149: Customizing Magic Tools

"My lord!"

When Chen Donghe walked into his house, everyone on both sides called him "my lord." This title made him feel burning and uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Before Chen Erniu died, he met him once. Chen Donghe sobbed and couldn't speak. Chen Erniu held his hand and said hoarsely:

"Do it boldly in the future. Father won't blame you. You are a smart child who knows how to do things. Guard the family well."

Chen Erniu knew Chen Donghe's knot. Although marrying into the family was a decision made by both of them, Chen Erniu didn't care about the surname anymore. If it weren't for Li Gen-shui, Li Mutian's father, saving him back then, it wouldn't be the Chen family of today, let alone the fact that they had no conditions to refuse on the Li family's territory.

But on the surface, Chen Erniu still drove him out of the house and scolded him, his precious son, on the street, to prove that the Chen family had broken clean with him. Chen Erniu understood that the relationship with the Li family today didn't need to play this set, but he still put on the posture cautiously.

Chu Minglian hurriedly placed his hand on the table, and the jade table released a burst of white light, offsetting the force, so that the stone table would not be crushed. He glanced at the two with a frown and scolded:

"Father!"

Chen Donghe knelt before the coffin and cried bitterly. The person he regarded as a father and his biological father passed away one after another. How could he not be in pain?

Li Jingtian stroked his back on the side. Chen Donghe was exceptionally thin in his white clothes in the wind. Li Tongya also sighed low. Chen Donghe was also watched by him as he grew up, and he married Li Jingtian. For a time, he looked at him crying bitterly and remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Li Pingyi, who was below, was moved by the heavy atmosphere and couldn't help but shed tears, covering his eyes to look at Li Yuanyuan on the side, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Yuanyuan..."

Li Yuanyuan turned his head, made a gesture of silence to him, and the two lowered their heads and wept silently without speaking.

Until Chen Erniu's funeral was over, the two boys went out. Li Yuanyuan sat quietly on the stone bench, and Li Pingyi choked:

"If my father died, I would be just as sad."

Wiping his tears, Li Pingyi looked at the crystal clear tears on Li Yuanyuan's face in the sunlight and said in a low voice:

"Brother Yuanyuan..."

Li Yuanyuan raised his eyelashes, turned his head to look at him, and saw Li Pingyi swear:

"If you died, I would be sad too."

Li Yuanyuan nodded hard and wanted to say something else, but Li Xuansuan had already walked out of the courtyard, took the child's hand, and the two went away together. Li Pingyi sat in place for a while, stood up, patted his butt, and drilled into the alley alone to play.

"If we have children, what should we name them?"

Li Xuanfeng laughed and explained:

"I am of the Xuan generation. If you give birth to a boy, follow the Yuan generation. If it's a girl, follow the Qing generation. That will do."

Jiang Yunu nodded. Li Xuanfeng looked at the time, hugged her back to the bed, and said softly:

"The Guanyun Peak marketplace is about to open, but I still have important business to attend to. I'll go out first and come to find you after I'm done."

Having said that, he packed his clothes, kissed Jiang Yunu, went out the door, and flew west. Before long, he landed at the foot of Guanyun Peak.

Walking a few steps along the street of the marketplace, the stalls gradually became fewer, and a few shops appeared in front of him. Li Xuanfeng looked for a while, picked a shop selling magic tools, crossed the threshold, and entered the shop.

A Fetal Breath cultivator stood in the shop, greeting him with a full face of smiles. Li Xuanfeng said solemnly:

"Go and ask your shopkeeper how many spirit stones it takes to customize a magic tool. I want to customize a Qi Refining-level magic longbow."

The clerk who came to greet him was stunned and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

He hurriedly went to the backyard. Before long, a sturdy man with his upper body bare pushed the door and entered from the backyard like the wind. The many iron tools hanging on his body jingled. Observing his cultivation, he was already at the peak of Qi Refining.

"What are the fellow Daoist's requirements?"

The man had a full face of stubble, eyes with spirit, staring straight at Li Xuanfeng. He looked rough, but his voice was quite soft. He stared at Li Xuanfeng for a while, as if recalling something.

"I am Li Xuanfeng of the Mount Lijing Li family, I greet you, fellow Daoist!"

"Mount Lijing Li family? So it's the family of the Green Spike Sword Immortal!"

The rough man cupped his hands, looking enlightened, and smiled:

"I am Chu Minglian. I also opened a small shop on Wangyue Lake back then, and I should have some origin with your elders!"

"Really?"

Li Xuanfeng immediately became spirited and asked back.

Chu Minglian was quite humorous, and between laughter, he pulled the relationship between the two closer, which made Li Xuanfeng laugh, and he cupped his hands: Chu Minglian gave a low laugh, but the laughter was blocked in his throat by this sentence. He was stunned for a second or two, then laughed loudly and said repeatedly:

"Little brother is also quite humorous."

Having said that, he looked at him twice and sighed:

"The Li family is truly full of talents. When the Sword Immortal came to me back then, he was only at the Fetal Breath stage. Now he is a senior who has built a fairy foundation. Little brother is young but has already achieved Qi Refining. The future is immeasurable."

Li Xuanfeng exchanged pleasantries with him and quickly entered the main topic, describing the magic tool he wanted to build. Chu Minglian listened carefully and nodded:

"This magic tool of yours is quite rare. Few cultivators use bows, let alone such a heavy bow!"

Pondering for a few breaths, Chu Minglian said solemnly:

"I want to use Gold Square Screen Stone as the bow body and burn it with profound fire to withstand the five thousand jun of force you mentioned while maintaining sufficient toughness. As for the bowstring... does the fellow Daoist want to use the tendons of demonic beasts or metal and iron?"

"Metal and iron!"

Li Xuanfeng thought that the destructive power of the Gang Qi on the body was particularly great, but it transmitted quickly in metal, so he thought it was most appropriate to use metal and iron.

"Then use the gold essence of the Qingwu mineral. Refine it with ordinary Qingwu mineral to practice this Qingwu gold essence, which can also meet the fellow Daoist's requirements."

Li Xuanfeng nodded repeatedly when he heard this and said repeatedly:

"Not bad, not bad. It's just that I don't know how many spirit stones it will take?"

Chu Minglian smiled slightly and explained:

"The raw materials cost eighty spirit stones, and it will take me a full half a year to build it. I will charge forty spirit stones for labor, totaling one hundred and twenty spirit stones."

Li Xuanfeng felt his soles numb. This price was far beyond his budget. At this time, the spirit stones in his storage bag plus the fifty spirit stones subsidized by the family, the total value was no more than one hundred. In his heart, he was very satisfied with the bow described by Chu Minglian, so he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"Senior, if the Qingwu mineral is provided by myself, how much can it be discounted?"

Chu Minglian pondered for a breath and replied:

"The Qingwu mineral costs thirty spirit stones. If you can take it out yourself, it will only cost ninety spirit stones."

"Then it's settled!"

Li Xuanfeng was greatly encouraged, piled up a pile of spirit stones on the table with a clatter, asked the clerk on the side to count them clearly, and took out a large piece of Qingwu mineral, let Chu Minglian cut it, and stared at him eagerly until Chu Minglian smiled and nodded, replying:

"Little brother, come and take it in half a year!"

Li Xuanfeng nodded repeatedly, and the two went to the Xiao family in the marketplace to sign a contract and made a Xuanjing Spirit Oath together. Li Xuanfeng then rode the wind and left the marketplace satisfied, not feeling the pain of his empty pockets, and happily went to find his woman.
