When Ye Xiao took the phone and glanced at it, he finally understood what was going on.
It was the local news program of Jianghai city. They announced to the public that they had found the two expert martial artists and would do an exclusive interview at 7 pm tonight.
That made Ye Xiao raise his eyebrows.
He knew very well that these two fellows were definitely fakes.
Why would they make two fakes?
To calm the hearts of the people?
It was obviously impossible. Recently, there had not been any major trouble in Jianghai city. The people lived and worked in peace一their lives were comfortable. How could they need to calm the hearts of the people?
Then… Was it to lure him out?
After all, the outside world knew that he was a powerful martial arts expert. As an expert, he definitely should have a temper.
How could he sit by and do nothing when there was someone pretending to be him? He would definitely appear.
However, it was a pity that they had miscalculated. Ye Xiao was not some stubborn old man who was desperate for face. He was a young man. There was really nothing to be angry about when there was someone pretending to be him.
It was not a big deal, and no one would die.
As long as there was no insult or injury, nothing else mattered.
“Supervisor Ye, tonight, let’s go to the television station! I heard that the television station is broadcasting outside today.”
“I’m not going.”
“Ah? Why? Don’t you want to meet those two super martial artists that the entire Jianghai city cares about?”
“So what if I see them? Can they be eaten? Can they improve my cultivation?
“If I have the time, I might as well go home and sleep.”
Ning Yuhen was stunned, then he shook his head.
It was hard for him to understand the supervisor’s thoughts, and it was also hard for him to agree with his views.
Those were two powerful martial arts experts. They were so elusive that it could be said that they were rarely seen in 100 years.
“If you don’t want to go, then I’ll go by myself. But today, I can’t treat you to a meal.”
He had to go.
Ning Yuhen could guess that the person who saved him must be one of the martial arts experts.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to go and take a look. It would be best if he could thank that person.
“It’s fine. We can do it another day.”
Ye Xiao replied indifferently.
After work, he went home with Huan Liuli while Ning Yuhen went to the television station.
Ye Xiao was about to start experimenting with refining weapons.
He had summed up a total of four basic techniques from the refining techniques he was learning and imprinted them in the divine soul’s Golden Book.
Although he had yet to synthesize a top-notch refining technique, he still needed to experiment with it in advance to train them.
He bought some base materials from a material shop. They were all ordinary pig iron and he spent a total of around a thousand.
That was his first time refining, and Ye Xiao was not prepared to use such good materials.
It was just practice, and he could just casually play with them.
The materials were not too much. However, because it was iron, its volume was not very big. It was not even the size of a table.
When he returned home, Ye Xiao immediately began refining.
In his previous life, Ye Xiao had read many novels. To refine weapons or to refine pills, one needed flames.
Here, only spiritual energy was sufficient.
Spiritual energy was omnipotent. It was just that according to the different cultivation techniques, the way it was displayed was also different.
When using a weapon-refining cultivation technique, the temperature of the spiritual energy that was displayed would be increased, bit by bit, the impurities in the refining materials would be refined, and it would take shape.
Under Ye Xiao’s control, over a thousand pounds of pig iron was quickly refined into a fine iron longsword.
The sword was three feet long, but its weight was far from the weight of an ordinary three feet longsword.
That was because it condensed a large amount of iron essence, its weight was enough to reach over forty pounds.
Ye Xiao roughly calculated, and the ratio was close to thirty to one. The retention rate was still acceptable.
After all, it was still very cost-effective to only charge 1,000 yuan for more than 1,000 pounds of pig iron.
The weight of the longsword allowed it to have higher rigidity. When killing star beasts, apart from protecting the body of the sword, it could also coordinate with the infusion of spiritual energy causing greater damage to the star beast.
In short, it was even more awesome!
Ye Xiao originally wanted to give it a test. With the enhancement of the sword in his hand, how much would his strength increase?
However, after careful consideration, he decided to forget about it.
If he were to create another big commotion, it would make the people of Jianghai city lose their minds and let their imaginations run wild again.
Moreover, there was another point. After all, that sword was made from the material of pig iron. If it was used by an ordinary martial artist, it would still be fine. He was already a great grandmaster. After using it, would it not be able to withstand it, would it directly explode?
At that time, if he were to lose it, it would not be worth it.
It would be better to wait until tomorrow to ask how much that sword could be sold for. First, he would gain some of the capital. Then, he would experiment with more advanced materials.
After refining it, Ye Xiao was ready to go up and rest.
However, at that moment, his phone lit up.
The caller ID showed that it was Gu Hai’s number.
“It’s so late already? Why are you calling me if you’re not hugging your wife to sleep?”
“Old Ye, something happened. Your subordinate, Ning Yuhen, was arrested.”
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What did he do?”
“He caused trouble at the television station.”
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows even more.
“That child is quite good-natured. Why would he cause trouble?”
“It’s not just him. Quite a number of people caused trouble today. Yuyan was also involved.”
Ye Xiao was even more puzzled.
“What exactly happened? Explain clearly.”
“Didn’t the television station say that they had invited two powerful martial artists, the swordmaster and the saber art expert, today? But the two people they arranged had many flaws and were quite arrogant. Yuyan, Ning Yuhen… There were also quite a number of people who said that they were fake, so the two sides started quarreling. I heard that they even started fighting in the end.”
“Qin Yuyan was also arrested?”
“She wasn’t. Her grandfather is the director of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. He released her after making a phone call. On the other hand, Ning Yuhen and a few other young men with no background were locked up.
“And I think there will be a little trouble.”.
“This isn’t a simple disturbance. I heard from my father-in-law that those two people were fake in the first place. They were arranged by a person with the surname Zhao in order to lure out the two real martial artists.”
“In the end, they were exposed by Ning Yuhen and the others, ruining his plan. I reckon that he won’t let Ning Yuhen and the others off lightly.”
Ye Xiao rubbed the space between his brows.
That group of schemers really had nothing better to do.
That person surnamed Zhao probably wanted to find him for some great benefit.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was a saber art expert and a swordmaster. Moreover, they might be martial arts experts above grandmasters or even great grandmasters.
If such a talent was found and recruited to the headquarters of the nine province alliance, it would be a great achievement that would be enough to raise his rank and make a fortune, and he would not have to worry about food or drink in his next life!
Those people were really shameless for their own interests.
“I got it. First, help me find a separate cell for Ning Yuhen. His face will bring disaster to the country and bring disaster to the people. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to protect his back door in prison. In addition, let him eat and drink well.. The rest will be discussed tomorrow.”
