Generous Ye Feng

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Tang San began introducing the crystal in Ye Feng's hand.

"Actually, the thing in Brother Feng's hand is what I call Plank Crystal."

Because he knew how powerful Ye Feng was, Tang San still held him in high regard and, like Ning Rongrong, called him Brother Feng.

That was how this world worked. With strength came the corresponding status.

"What is Plank Crystal? Is this thing really a treasure?" Xiao Wu curiously reached out and poked the crystal with a finger.

Naturally, she discovered nothing.

"To explain Plank Crystal, I first have to talk about Hair Crystal."

"So-called Hair Crystal refers to special natural formations within certain crystals. These formations resemble strands of hair or thread. As long as even one such strand appears, the crystal can be considered a treasure."

"Plank Crystal, on the other hand, is an even rarer treasure than Hair Crystal. That is because the hairs within Plank Crystal are not a single strand, but the result of countless strands gathered together. I can guarantee that the Plank Crystal in Brother Feng's hand contains at least ten thousand strands. It can be called a treasure among treasures. I just don't know where you got such a treasure."

Looking at the Plank Crystal in Ye Feng's hand, Tang San felt an ache in his heart. Why wasn't this treasure his?

If it had fallen into his hands, Tang San could guarantee that he would be able to make the best possible use of it.

"Looks like Brother Tang San is very familiar with my treasure. Do you know how to extract what's inside?" Ye Feng raised a brow as he looked at Tang San's eager gaze.

"No problem."

Tang San agreed without a moment's hesitation.

Although the Plank Crystal was not his, being able to personally witness the birth of this natural hidden weapon would still fulfill one of his wishes.

Seeing Tang San's expression, the smile on Ye Feng's face deepened. "I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tang San."

As he spoke, Ye Feng straightforwardly handed the Plank Crystal to Tang San.

Tang San solemnly accepted the Plank Crystal from Ye Feng. His hands trembled slightly.

The fact that Ye Feng had entrusted such a priceless treasure to him so casually was enough to show how much faith he had in him.

Looking at it this way, his thoughts just now had been rather shameful.

For a moment, Tang San actually felt a little ashamed.

Just now, he had thought that Ye Feng did not know the value of Plank Crystal, and had even considered whether he could buy it for some money.

In the end, although Ye Feng did not know exactly what Plank Crystal was, he clearly knew it was a treasure. His plan had failed from the very beginning.

Though countless thoughts churned within him, none of them showed on his face.

Tang San took the Plank Crystal, then brushed a hand across his waist. A large blacksmith's Forging Hammer appeared in his hand.

"Step back a little, so you don't get hurt."

Hearing Tang San's warning, Ye Feng shielded Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu behind him and said calmly, "Go ahead, Brother Tang San. It's fine."

Remembering Ye Feng's strength, Tang San relaxed. He swung the Forging Hammer, suddenly exerted force through his calves, and spun half a circle as he unleashed the first strike of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Empowered by Tang San's inner strength, the Forging Hammer blazed with white light, and even the air rang with a burst of explosive sound.

Bang—

With a tremendous boom, the entire Rose Hotel shook as though an earthquake had struck.

The crystal on the ground naturally shattered into powder beneath that blow.

Seeing Tang San's reckless display, Ning Rongrong was about to get angry, but the next moment, she was drawn in by a strange change.

Countless golden points of light suddenly burst out from the shattered Plank Crystal, scattering and dancing throughout the room. A layer of golden mist enveloped the entire room.

Ye Feng lightly waved his hand, stirring the airflow. All the golden mist flowed into his palm like swallows returning to their nest. In an instant, the room became clear again.

"Ding, your martial soul has detected the Disorder Splitting Wind soul skill. Analyzing..."

"Ding, analysis interrupted."

Perhaps Tang San had simply been too fast. Before even the system could react, Tang San had already finished.

What a pity! Ye Feng thought, though he was not entirely disappointed. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there was no need to rush.

With that thought, Ye Feng shifted his gaze to his palm.

Just now, he had controlled the airflow and gathered everything that had erupted from the Plank Crystal into his hand.

The collected items looked like grains of golden rice.

Ning Rongrong curiously picked one up and squeezed it in her hand. It felt soft, yet extremely elastic. Even when flattened, it instantly returned to its round shape.

"Are these little golden things the treasure you were talking about?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Yes, that's it!" Tang San was extremely excited at this moment. In his excitement, he no longer cared about manners. He quickly moved to Ye Feng's side, grabbed a golden particle, and examined it closely.

"As expected, this is the eighth-ranked natural hidden weapon, the Dragon Whisker Needle!"

"Little San, this is a hidden weapon too?" Xiao Wu curiously came closer as well.

She had seen Tang San's hidden weapons before, but she had never expected these golden particles to be hidden weapons too.

"Of course!" At this point, Tang San could no longer be bothered to hide it.

He placed a golden particle in his palm. The inner strength of the Mysterious Heaven Skill surged forth, and milky-white light bloomed from his palm.

The next moment, a strange scene unfolded. Under the force of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the golden granules slowly stretched out. Before long, they became a golden thread as fine as a strand of hair—several times thinner than even human hair.

It was a full three inches long.

"What use does this thread have?" Ning Rongrong was amazed by the sight, but she could not see what purpose it served.

Tang San smiled faintly. With some unknown technique, he flipped his wrist, and an imperceptible flash of light quietly shot out, sinking into the quilt at the head of the bed.

As the golden thread entered, something bizarre happened. Everyone watched as the quilt rapidly twisted, turning into a strange shape in the blink of an eye.

Sharp-eyed Xiao Wu hurried over and stared in surprise at the quilt, which had twisted into a tangled lump.

"See? And that was only a quilt. Just imagine what would happen if it struck a person..."

Tang San's words sent an involuntary shiver through Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

"This hidden weapon is far too vicious!"

"I call this hidden weapon the Dragon Whisker Needle. In this world, whether a weapon is vicious depends on the person using it. In the hands of the righteous, it is righteous; in the hands of the wicked, it is wicked. Hidden weapons themselves have no distinction between good and evil."

Tang San calmly removed the golden thread from the quilt. Once he pulled it out, it turned back into granules.

"Brother Tang San is right!" Ye Feng lightly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "If we use the Dragon Whisker Needle against evildoers, then this hidden weapon cannot be considered vicious."

"Still, I'm afraid only Brother Tang San can use this kind of hidden weapon! We don't possess such an unusual technique. In that case, I think it would be better to give these hidden weapons to Brother Tang San!"

"Ah!" Tang San looked at Ye Feng in shock and repeatedly shook his head. "No, I can't accept something so precious."

"Don't say that. If you feel bad about it, then let's make an exchange. You teach me how to use the Dragon Whisker Needle, and I'll give you the Dragon Whisker Needles. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?" Ye Feng chuckled inwardly before saying warmly.
