The old man's sudden change in attitude left Xiao Yan somewhat bewildered, his eyes filled with suspicion as he looked at the old man.
But the old man's last words did indeed move Xiao Yan somewhat. In any case, the old man finally agreed to help him repair the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
Since arriving on the Origin Martial Continent, Xiao Yan has been preoccupied with a major matter, and today, things are finally starting to look promising.
Xiao Yan smiled sincerely, bowed respectfully to the old man again, and said:
"In that case, thank you very much for your help, senior. I am deeply grateful and will do my utmost if you ever need my assistance in the future!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the old man nodded with a smile, and a barely perceptible glint flashed in his bright old eyes.
With his shrewdness, since he came here from another continent, his talent must be monstrous. And the most crucial thing is that the monstrous talent he is seeing now is so young!
This further demonstrated to him the terrifying talent that Xiao Yan possessed. If he were to truly grow up, he would undoubtedly become a giant on the Origin Martial Continent!
Moreover, he might even have a place at the very pinnacle!
Such a person, as a seasoned and experienced senior, would naturally be someone he wouldn't let slip by.
After all, if Xiao Yan didn't have enough power, he wouldn't have been able to rise up on his original continent and become the extraordinary genius he is today.
While it cannot be ruled out that Xiao Yan is a descendant of a top power on his continent, born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Even so, if he didn't have sufficiently powerful and ruthless methods, he probably wouldn't have been able to ascend to the sole imperial throne on that continent!
After all, as far as this old man knew, in other continents, the Emperor's Origin no longer existed in the world, and this was a true celestial palace!
Since Yan Xiao was able to break through to become an Emperor, his abilities must be extraordinary. Therefore, in the eyes of this old man, Xiao Yan's promise was not so laughable. On the contrary, it had some weight and was enough for him to remember it.
"Haha, Yan Xiao, may I have a look at your ruler now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan an eyebrow slightly, but before he could form any thoughts, the old man spoke again with a smile:
"Little one, don't overthink it. I see that this ruler is fundamentally damaged, which suggests that you repaired it yourself after it was damaged. However, this result is quite different from what you expected, and I wanted to take a closer look, which is why I said this. You don't need to be nervous."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yan understood completely and was filled with admiration for his superb weapon-refining skills.
With just his naked eye, the old man could tell that Xiao Yan had tried to repair the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and he could even tell how well Xiao Yan had repaired it. Such eyesight was truly terrifying!
Now that he thinks about it now, Xiao Yan can understand. No wonder Luo Jin praised this old man highly when he talked about him. Such methods can truly be called extraordinary abilities!
"In that case, thank you, senior!"
With a smile of joy in his heart, Xiao Yan's eyes also flashed with excitement. He stretched out his hands and slowly handed the nearly broken Heavy Xuan Ruler to the old man's withered palms.
Since this old man has the ability, the matter of repairing the Heavy Xuan Ruler is basically settled. How could Xiao Yan not be overjoyed!
The old man ignored Xiao Yan's joyful expression and instead focused all his attention on the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, as if it contained some supreme treasure of heaven and earth, which made Xiao Yan somewhat surprised.
A moment later, as if remembering something, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve, and the space in front of him was suddenly torn apart by an unparalleled power of heaven and earth, opening up a wide spatial rift.
Xiao Yan wasn't trying to show off his strength. After all, with his current strength, it was like child's play to the old man in front of him, so why would he bother?
Xiao Yan did this simply to retrieve the entire piece of Flame-Fallen Black Iron.
When the old man saw the black iron that had crashed to the ground, nearly causing the entire courtyard to collapse, he showed no displeasure whatsoever. On the contrary, an indescribable look of surprise and joy welled up on his face.
The old man's eyes widened, and his expression froze due to the excitement of the moment. He was so excited that he could hardly speak, which made Xiao Yan, who was standing quietly to the side, look amused. It seemed that the old man had forgotten his identity at this moment.
After a long while, the old man coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed. Xiao Yan quickly stopped smiling and looked at the old man in front of him with a serious expression.
"Senior, this piece of Flame-Fallen Black Iron is what I found to repair this giant ruler. I think this material should be enough. If there is any left over, then it is my way of showing my respect to you. You may decide what to do with it!"
Xiao Yan naturally knew that with so much Flame-Fallen Black Iron, it would be more than enough to repair his Heavy Xuan Ruler. At this moment, the old man was clearly someone who cherished the materials of heaven and earth, and he must have valued the Flame-Fallen Black Iron very much. If he gave him the Flame-Fallen Black Iron, wouldn't that be the same as doing him a huge favor?
In this way, if Xiao Yan Xiao Yan encounters any big trouble in the future, he won't need to ask; as long as he happens to be there, the Xiao Yan will definitely come to his rescue. For Xiao Yan, that would be worthwhile.
A piece of Flame-Fallen Black Iron, exchanged for a favor from a true powerhouse. If a good relationship can be cultivated in the future, it might even become a great asset to Xiao Yan.
After all, Xiao Yan is still being hunted down by the Ghost Fiend Gate. Although he has dealt with the Third Hall Master, he is only the Third Hall Master. Above him, there must be two true powerhouses: the Second Palace Master and the First Palace Master.
They are the people Xiao Yan should truly worry about right now!
Moreover, even without them, the Ghost Fiend Gate, which is still unknown, will undoubtedly be a major hidden danger for Xiao Yan. If he doesn't prepare in advance, he'll likely face even more trouble later.
"Hahaha, good lad, not bad, not bad at all, this old man likes that! Then this old man won't hold back, hahaha!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the old man's face lit up with joy. As a weapon refiner, he cherished rare materials above all else, and he was well aware of the preciousness of the Flame-Fallen Black Iron.
The piece right in front of him right now might really be the last one on this Origin Martial Continent!
As the saying goes, things are valued for their rarity, especially the last piece on this continent. The sense of cherishing it is unparalleled, so how could he not be excited and overjoyed?
"Oh, by the way, kid, stop calling me 'old man' like that. My Luo Ao. Just call me Elder Luo. Calling me 'old man' makes it sound too formal!"
Changing the subject, the old man took the initiative to introduce himself, and in doing so, the relationship between the old man and the young man quickly became much closer.
The two chatted for a while longer, and Elder Luo told Xiao Yan that if he wanted to retrieve the Heavy Xuan Ruler, he would have to wait a month.
For Xiao Yan, this amount of time was really nothing. For cultivators of their level, a month was just a blink of an eye, not a long time at all.
Walking slowly out of the courtyard, Xiao Yan looked at the vast sky above. The dazzling sunlight made Xiao Yan instinctively shield his eyes with his hand, but a relaxed smile remained on his lips.
At this moment, the huge weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted, and now I just have to wait patiently for the one-month deadline.
Inside the courtyard, as Elder Luo watched Xiao Yan's departing figure, his old eyes narrowed slightly. The scene of Xiao Yan and Li Kang slapping each other earlier flashed before his eyes once again.
"Speaking of which, that avatar, isn't it Yuan Qing's Nine Revolutions Avatar Art from the Cloud Immortal Sect? I really didn't expect that the Dou Technique that Yuan Qing would never pass on to anyone, even in his death, would actually be given to this kid. Heh heh, so he's taken a liking to him too. Let's see who's more capable then!"
At this moment, outside the courtyard, two figures blocked Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan path as he tried to leave.
After their previous clash, Li Kang and the Eight-Star Dou Sheng beside him realized that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually a true powerhouse who had reached the level of Half-Emperor Sovereign. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to fight him.
But Li Kang responded with a disdainful smile, a smile so sinister it seemed to emanate from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
If Xiao Yan were merely a Dou Sheng Expert, he would have been genuinely afraid that Xiao Yan would run away. But since Xiao Yan is Half-Emperor Sovereign expert, then he has a reason to forcibly keep him in this Ancient Wilderness City!
"Is there anything else you two wish to discuss? If not, then I shall take my leave."
Xiao Yan didn't bother with Li Kang's plans. He had already said that if Li Kang's grandfather didn't provoke him, he naturally wouldn't do anything, but if not, he wouldn't show any mercy!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Li Kang let out a mocking laugh, followed by a chillingly cold statement that he slowly uttered.
"What do I have to do with you? Hehehehe... What I want to say is, I want you dead!"
