Chapter 276: Outer Space Cold Iron

Things proceeded just as Duan Fengyun had anticipated and as Men Laotou had hoped; as Duan Fengyun's business became increasingly prosperous, the Sword Casting Workshop here became busier and busier.

However, this was exactly what Men Laotou wished to see; he would rather work himself to death beside the sword furnace.

Men Laotou's hard work also brought him huge returns.

Every day he could drink a little wine, and the money in his pocket was constantly growing; he was getting closer and closer to the life he dreamed of.

Men Laotou knew that all of this was brought to him by Duan Fengyun, so to show his gratitude, he specifically spent a small fortune to host a banquet and invite Duan Fengyun and Yueya to gather at the Sword Casting Workshop.

Duan Fengyun would not go empty-handed; he brought two more bottles of Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green for Men Laotou and, holding Yueya's hand, arrived outside the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop.

This time, as the host, Men Laotou naturally could not be as lacking in etiquette as he was last time.

Men Laotou, Men Jianqiu, and Dazhu, all dressed in neat, clean clothes, had been waiting outside for Duan Fengyun for a long time.

Seeing that Duan Fengyun and Yueya had arrived, Men Laotou greeted them:

"Boss Qin, Madam Qin, welcome to my humble abode.

The two of you have traveled from afar; your presence truly brings light to my home."

Since Men Laotou and the other two began cooperating with Duan Fengyun, they had often run to Duan Fengyun's Ririsheng Guild, so the three of them had already met Yueya.

When they first saw Yueya, only two phrases came to their minds: a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

Yueya's fairy-like appearance was truly a perfect match for the handsome Boss Qin.

Boss Qin's appearance could not be called handsome, but it was still dashing, and coupled with his shrewd mind, the two were still a very good match.

It was just that they did not know that Qin Shuang was merely a mask on the surface; when they saw Duan Fengyun's true appearance in the future, they would no longer have such thoughts.

Duan Fengyun picked up the two jars of Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green and shook them in front of Men Laotou:

"Master Men, I, Qin, have said that I would never visit others empty-handed.

The old rule: two jars of your favorite Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green, please accept them."

Men Laotou happily took the wine and said:

"Boss Qin, you are generous; every time you come, it is a grand gesture. How can I, this old man, be so embarrassed?

Boss Qin, Madam Qin, please come inside and take a seat."

Under the welcome of Men Laotou and the others, Duan Fengyun and Yueya sat in the main guest seats of the banquet.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Duan Fengyun smiled:

"Master Men, looking at this, you must have spent a fortune today; so many delicacies."

Men Laotou touched his head and smiled awkwardly:

"Boss Qin, you are joking.

When you came to my place last time, I didn't treat you to a proper meal.

Now that Boss Qin has led me to earn so much money, I must properly thank Boss Qin.

You surely wouldn't look twice at the wine this old man has here.

So, I am borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha today, using your own Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green to toast you, Boss Qin."

Duan Fengyun and Yueya did not find Men Laotou's actions strange.

But Men Jianqiu and Dazhu stared at Men Laotou in disbelief; Men Laotou, who usually couldn't even bear to drink two extra sips himself, was actually taking out Hundred Year Bamboo Leaf Green to entertain guests today.

Men Laotou felt embarrassed under the gazes of Men Jianqiu and Dazhu.

Ignoring the fact that Duan Fengyun and Yueya were there, Men Laotou muttered to himself:

"Aren't there distinguished guests here?

I am parting with my treasure today to treat Boss Qin to a drink.

In the future, Boss Qin will surely lead me to earn even more money."

It must be said that Men Laotou still had quite a bit of business sense, understanding the principle that one must lose a bait to catch a fish.

"Come, come, come, Boss Qin, Madam Qin, don't be polite, please start eating."

Under Men Laotou's invitation, Duan Fengyun and Yueya began to use their chopsticks, followed by a scene of host and guests enjoying themselves.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the tipsy Men Laotou walked straight into his room; he wanted to take out his hidden treasure to show off to Duan Fengyun and the others.

Men Laotou stumbled back into his room and then pulled out an iron box from under his bed.

Men Laotou gently stroked the iron box and then picked it up.

It seemed to be something extraordinary inside the iron box, as Men Laotou was actually staggering while holding it.

Men Laotou placed the iron box with a thud in front of Duan Fengyun and Yueya and said:

"Boss Qin, Madam Qin, since you have finally come to visit this old man, I certainly cannot let you come in vain.

I will take out my hidden treasure for you to see.

You must take a good look."

Like revealing a lottery ticket, Men Laotou mysteriously opened the iron box.

And the item inside the iron box was just as Duan Fengyun had anticipated.

What was inside the iron box was exactly the Outer Space Meteorite that would later be forged by Yin Zhong into the Nether Sword.

Duan Fengyun feigned confusion and asked:

"Master Men, forgive my ignorance, I don't know what this is?"

Men Laotou boasted:

"This is the divine iron passed down by the Men family; this piece of Cold Iron is very special, but unfortunately, my Men Family Sword Casting Workshop has spent generations unable to melt it.

But I, this old man, believe that one day I will be able to melt it and forge an invincible divine weapon."

Men Laotou had always known about the existence of this divine iron, but he had never been able to find its whereabouts.

Men Laotou was only able to find this divine iron thanks to Duan Fengyun.

After Duan Fengyun introduced a steady stream of customers to Men Laotou, Boss Men knew that the current Sword Casting Workshop could certainly not meet the demand, so he upgraded and renovated the original sword furnace.

During an upgrade and modification, he discovered this piece of divine iron at the bottom of the furnace.

At first, he did not realize that this was his family's heirloom divine iron, until he casually threw the divine iron into the fire and it remained completely unmoved after half an hour; Men Laotou knew he had struck it rich, he had found the family's heirloom divine iron.

Men Laotou excitedly threw the divine iron into the furnace to melt it, but the result was still the same as his predecessors; the divine iron remained completely unmoved. Unwilling to give up, Men Laotou kept the divine iron well-preserved, believing that one day he would be able to melt this piece of divine iron.

Duan Fengyun sneered inwardly at this moment; as if you, Men Laotou, could refine this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron.

One must know that this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron is filled with evil, bloodthirsty power and curses.

To refine this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron, one must possess an evil power that matches it.

And in the Shuiyue Dongtian World, only Yin Zhong, this Undying Demon God, can satisfy this.

Yin Zhong has lived for over five hundred years, and is already an existence who has cultivated into a Demon God; his Demon God Blood is incomparably tyrannical.

Furthermore, Yin Zhong possesses the same evil, bloodthirsty power as the Cold Iron.

Therefore, in the plot, only after Yin Zhong's blood was absorbed by the Outer Space Cold Iron could the Outer Space Cold Iron be melted and finally forged into the Nether Sword.

At this moment, the records of the Nether Sword from the original drama also echoed in Duan Fengyun's mind:

"Nether Sword, the sword is seven feet and seven inches long.

The Cold Iron is an heirloom of the Men family; it can only be melted and forged into a sword when the blood of the Undying Demon God Yin Zhong is added during casting. It is incomparably sharp and carries a curse; it must be fulfilled with blood to eliminate its curse.

The sword-caster must sacrifice the person they love most, performing a Blood Sacrifice to the sword to wash away its bloodthirsty demonic nature, only then can it become a divine weapon that guides its master toward goodness; otherwise, it will become a demonic weapon that guides its master toward evil.

If those struck by it do not have the poison removed, the demonic nature will enter the victim's bone marrow; even if sealed, it can erupt once provoked, turning them into a demon.

Once this sword is drawn, it must taste blood, otherwise it will be beyond any control; only after its demonic nature is removed can the victim fully recover, and it will no longer harm people with its demonic nature."

A rumor circulates in the Jianghu: "When the Nether appears, the heavens and earth darken. When the Nether emerges, the world changes hands."

In the original drama, it was precisely after Yin Zhong was stabbed by the Nether Sword that his internal demonic nature erupted, eventually leading to a slaughter with the Tong Clan Brothers, and finally, it was only at the cost of Men Jianqiu's own life that the evil of the Nether Sword was dissolved, allowing Yin Zhong to return to normal.

Duan Fengyun looked at this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron, which would later be forged into what could be called the strongest divine weapon in the Shuiyue Dongtian World.

Driven by curiosity, he reached out and touched the Cold Iron directly. The moment he touched the Cold Iron, Duan Fengyun felt boundless baleful aura and killing intent; it truly was a piece of demonic iron.

This piece of Outer Space Cold Iron is related to the completion of Duan Fengyun's mission in this world, and Duan Fengyun will not stop this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron from being forged into the Nether Sword.

He looked at the Outer Space Cold Iron, then directly closed it back up and said:

"It truly is a piece of good iron; I look forward to the day Master Men forges it into a peerless divine weapon.

It is getting late, so my wife and I will be heading back. Thank you for your warm hospitality, Master Men."

Men Laotou replied, thick with drunkenness:

"Good, then Boss Qin and Madam Qin, please walk slowly. When this old man thinks of a way to melt this piece of Outer Space Cold Iron and forge it into a peerless divine weapon, I will definitely invite Boss Qin and Madam Qin to come and admire it.

This old man has drunk too much today, so I will not see you two out. Please walk slowly."

Duan Fengyun nodded, then took Yueya by the hand and walked toward his home.

Duan Fengyun thought to himself:

"Forget it, I have no fortune to enjoy this sword of yours."
