One month later.
Li Changfeng arrived at Elder Tie's forging room as promised, only to find Elder Tie already waiting there. Upon seeing Li Changfeng's arrival, Elder Tie burst into laughter.
"Young Li! You've finally arrived! I've finished forging your weapon, take a look."
After saying that, Elder Tie took out a dark iron rod and threw it directly to Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and caught the iron rod with one hand. Instantly, his arm felt heavy, as if an extremely heavy weight was pressing down on it, causing it to hang down.
With a loud bang, the entire iron rod smashed the ground open, looking extremely heavy!
Li Changfeng exclaimed in astonishment, "What a heavy iron rod!! This iron rod must weigh at least seventy or eighty thousand jin!!"
Elder Tie smiled slightly upon hearing this, "This staff weighs 88,000 jin. Not only is the staff extremely hard, but it is also resilient."
"Moreover, when you swing it, it's flexible and resilient, and it even has a springiness that can increase explosive power! It's extremely suitable for users with amazing strength!"
"The special feature of this staff is its hardness and flexibility, and it can also be adjusted to a suitable weight. There are no other special features. With my skills, this is the best I can do!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng examined the iron rod with great delight, then poured his inner energy into it, controlling the weight to a suitable level. Afterward, Li Changfeng picked up the iron rod and began to play with it in his hands, unable to put it down.
The iron rod was seven feet long, its body black and supple, with intersecting white lines carved into it. The arrangement of these lines was extremely fast, giving it the appearance of a master sculptor.
The front and back ends are decorated with silver iron rings in the shape of a dragon and a tiger, giving it a sense of Dragon Soars, Tiger Leaps, making it extremely extraordinary!
Li Changfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly began to perform a staff dance on the spot. One after another, sharp and domineering staff shadows danced in the air, stirring up gusts of fierce wind, which made Elder Tie's eyes gleam.
He exclaimed, "I knew your swordsmanship was impressive, but I didn't expect your staff skills to be just as remarkable! Did your master teach you this staff technique?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "That's right! This trick of mine was indeed taught to me by my master! How was my performance?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Tie exclaimed in admiration, "Of course! It's quite remarkable! This staff technique is profound and its power is extraordinary. It truly lives up to its reputation as a staff technique from Shaolin monk!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng scratched his head and laughed, "Elder Tie, you flatter me! My staff skills are still far inferior to those of my masters!"
Elder Tie smiled slightly upon hearing this, "You're just being modest, kid! If Na Shan were as modest as you, his future would be even more immeasurable! Oh, right! You haven't named your long staff yet!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "Since this staff is made of Extraterrestrial Dark Iron, let's call it the Dark Iron Dragon-Tiger Staff!"
Elder Tie stroked his beard upon hearing this, "This name is indeed fitting! It's quite suitable for naming this iron rod! Not bad!"
Li Changfeng chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "Haha! Is that right! Elder Tie, it's time for me to leave here too!"
Elder Tie was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "You left so soon! Why don't you stay and have a drink with me?"
Li Changfeng gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "Next time! I have appointments with others! I've already wasted a lot of time!"
"Since that's the case! Alright! Remember to come visit this old man when you have time!"
"Must!"
After saying this, Li Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting and then vanished in a blur. Suddenly, a loud voice rang out behind Li Changfeng, "Brother Li! Wait for me!"
Tie Rushan used his movement technique and instantly appeared in front of Li Changfeng, saying, "You left without even saying goodbye!"
Li Changfeng looked helpless upon hearing this, "I'm sorry, Brother Tie! I really have something urgent to attend to and need to leave immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Rushan pursed his lips. "What's the rush! It won't even delay your meal!"
Li Changfeng gave a wry smile. "Alright, Brother Tie! Where do you want to take me to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Tie Rushan smiled slightly, "There is an Iron Blood Tavern right at the foot of Ironclad Gate Mountain, and the food and wine there are quite good!"
Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "Iron Blood Tavern?"
"Yes, Brother Li! You know too! Since you know which tavern it is, you must know that the wine there is quite good. Let's go, I'll go with you right now!"
After saying that, Tie Rushan pulled Li Changfeng and hurriedly walked down the mountain. Li Changfeng smiled faintly at this and thought to himself, "That Old Drunkard's methods are indeed unfathomable. Since he could predict that I would come to this Iron Blood Tavern, he should have just waited for me there!"
Iron Blood Tavern.
At this moment, Tie Rushan booked a private room and ordered a table full of food and drinks, as well as several jars of fine wine. Li Changfeng swallowed hard when he saw the food and drinks on the table. He hadn't had a decent meal in a while, and now he couldn't wait to start eating the rich and delicious dishes.
Upon seeing Tie Rushan laughed loudly, "Brother Li! What a generous spirit! Then I won't stand on ceremony either!"
After saying that, Tie Rushan also started eating and drinking heartily. Suddenly, when the two of them were not paying attention, a figure suddenly appeared on one side of the table, eating and drinking the food and wine in big mouthfuls. This figure was none other than the Old Drunkard!
However, after Li Changfeng and his companion ate for a while, they were startled to find an old man opposite them, who was eating their delicious food with gusto!
Upon Tie Rushan flew into a rage, shouting, "How dare you! Where did this beggar come from, daring to steal my food! You have no sense of mortality!!"
After saying that, Tie Rushan was about to kick the Old Beggar away when Li Changfeng quickly stopped him, saying with a wry smile, "Brother Tie! Please calm down! This old... senior is a friend of mine! Please forgive him!"
Tie Rushan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "This... this Old Beggar is your friend? You're not joking with me, are you, Brother Li?"
Li Changfeng looked helpless upon hearing this and transmitted his voice, "Brother Tie! This senior is no ordinary person! Please don't speak recklessly. Think about how he appeared in front of us, and you'll understand!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Rushan was startled and quickly said, "Senior! Please eat as much as you like! I'll order more if you're not full!"
The Old Drunkard glanced at him upon hearing this, "Really? Then bring me another round of food and drinks!"
Tie Rushan's face twitched violently upon hearing this. The food and drinks here were already expensive, costing him quite a bit of money. If he were to come back again, his pockets would be a little strained!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "This round is on me!"
Li Changfeng called over the waiter and ordered another round of dishes. When it came time to pay the bill, he was extremely distressed. This meal had cost him five thousand taels of silver!
"What kind of food and drinks are these! They're so expensive!!"
The waiter smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Sir! All the ingredients here are very special; they are all precious wild game from the mountains, and some are even made with the meat of demonic beasts. Therefore, it is only natural that the food and wine are expensive!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "No wonder it's so expensive! And the taste is definitely different!"
At this moment, Tie Rushan shouted, "Brother Li! Come and eat! Otherwise, all the food will be gone!!"
Li Changfeng was shocked when he heard this. He quickly climbed onto a chair and started eating and drinking heartily. He had spent so much money on this meal, and he didn't want to waste a single penny!
