Elder Jian always speaks in a mysterious way.
Ye Chenfeng was completely baffled and couldn't get a clear answer from the question.
Having no other choice, they gave up and flew out of the cave abode.
I'm preparing to visit Lu Li.
Since reaching an agreement with Lu Li to repair the flying sword, he has not left the sect.
He eagerly awaited the repair of the broken sword so he could leave the sect to retrieve the treasure.
"Buzz~!"
The flying sword pierced the sky.
Ye Chenfeng sped towards Lu Li's cave abode while chatting with Elder Jian.
" Elder Jian, why do you think Junior Brother Lu doesn't like leaving the sect?"
"Are there really cultivators in the world with such a steady temperament...?"
"Didn't you say that we cultivators either fight or fall behind? How come I see that Junior Brother Lu doesn't fight at all?"
"But you, you're making me bother people every day, isn't that a bit much?"
Elder Jian was momentarily stunned by Ye Chenfeng's question.
He remained silent for a long while.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly and somewhat awkwardly.
"For us cultivators, to not fight is to retreat; that is naturally the right thing to do."
"As for you, Junior Brother Lu... Hmph! Do you even have his intelligence?"
"If you can refine pills and craft weapons, and inscribe talismans and set up arrays, you don't need to learn swordsmanship and gain experience; you can find a place to cultivate slowly."
Elder Jian's voice carried a hint of anger, causing Ye Chenfeng to involuntarily curl his lip.
He was the one who initially described Lu Li as an ordinary, unremarkable disciple.
Why are you blaming yourself now?
but...
" Elder Jian, you haven't seen Junior Brother Lu refining pills or carving talismans."
"How can you be so sure that Junior Brother Lu knows so many skills?"
"Me? Hmph, I had my fair share of dealings with alchemists and talisman cultivators in the Central Continent back in my early years."
"I can tell what kind of smell that kid has just by smelling him!"
Elder Jian's voice was firm, revealing confidence and a hint of surprise.
"Having said that, your junior brother is indeed quite something."
"I admit I misjudged him a bit back then. It's truly rare for such a talent to emerge from such a remote place."
"Not only does he have the potential to become a master weapon refiner, but he can also refine pills, inscribe talismans, and set up arrays... Tsk tsk, Ye boy, do you even know what's most important for a sword cultivator?"
"What?" Ye Chenfeng was stunned, and tentatively replied, "Could it be a sword?"
"Shit!"
"I'm referring to things other than the sword cultivator himself!"
"This... young man doesn't know..."
"Let me tell you, a good sword cultivator cannot do without a powerful support cultivator!"
"Whether it's Lineage, a sect, or dao companion partner or sibling, only with ample resources behind them can a sword cultivator fight and seize without any scruples!"
Ultimately, the fortuitous opportunity gained through competition will be transformed into cultivation strength through the support from behind.
So... do you understand now?
Upon hearing what Elder Jian said, Ye Chenfeng finally realized what was going on.
No wonder Elder Jian has been having him bother Lu Li these past few days.
After all that...
"You mean... that I should become dao companion with Junior Brother Lu... no, become sworn brothers?"
"Hmm, that works too, or you could create a power base for him to manage for you later..."
"Since he's so talented, we should definitely befriend him. Even if we can't become sworn brothers, it'll be good to get along with him."
"With his help, the time it takes you to become a Venerable One will definitely be greatly shortened!"
"Well... we'll have to see if Junior Brother Lu is willing..."
"Unwilling? Why wouldn't he be unwilling? As long as you don't mistreat him in the future, why would he be unwilling..."
The two were discussing matters.
Lu Li's cave abode was now within sight.
Ye Chenfeng was about to slow down the speed of his flying sword.
But then they saw cave abode in the distance, its stone door open.
A black streak of light, trailing a scarlet flame, suddenly shot out!
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light pierced the sky and shot into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chenfeng's face twitched in surprise.
"What is that?!"
"What just jumped out of Junior Brother Lu's cave abode?"
Ye Chenfeng was surprised and sped up his flying sword to catch up.
Once they flew above the clouds, they could finally see clearly what the black streak with its scarlet tail flame was.
Within his sight, a two-meter-tall, jet-black humanoid creature, resembling armor, tumbled about.
There were no Law Artifact to accompany it, and it didn't have a flying sword under its feet.
It felt like flying on flames.
Moreover, their speed of escape was in no way inferior to that of a cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
"This... this is..."
" Elder Jian, have you ever seen such an object before?"
Ye Chenfeng's voice stammered, and he seemed somewhat dazed.
The question was asked, but received no response for a long time.
After a long pause, Elder Jian finally spoke hesitantly, sounding uncertain.
"W-why does this look like a full suit of armor... Movement Method?"
"It can even fly... What an exquisite French armor..."
While Elder Jian was still speculating, the humanoid armored figure in the distance had already flown over.
"Whoosh!"
The distance of 100 meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by a strong surge of air.
The jet-black armor stood silently before Ye Chenfeng.
"Snap!"
The mask opened, revealing Lu Li's face.
" Junior Brother Lu!"
"It's you! This... this item is yours!"
"Gulp!"
Swallowing hard, Ye Chenfeng felt a slight tremor in his heart.
Whether it was because of unfamiliarity or something else, the black armor standing in front of him carried a unique sense of oppression.
It was something he found difficult to adapt to.
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Ye. Hmm... this is a magical armor I recently crafted."
"Why are you looking for me, Senior Brother?"
Lu Li hovered in the air without offering any further explanation.
The French Ligue 1 is no secret; the materials Artifact Inscription are all standard.
What is truly valuable is its underlying design philosophy and concept.
"This... this is called Ligue 1... how can it even allow flight..."
"He looks handsome, but how effective is his protection?"
Ye Chenfeng stammered slightly, his curiosity rising.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar Ligue 1.
Not only was it completely covered, but there also seemed to be flaming talismans and Artifact Inscription under its feet.
The blazing flames, capable of soaring through the air, are truly wondrous.
"Protective effectiveness..."
"I haven't tested it specifically yet, but I imagine it should be able to withstand Qi Refinement cultivators?"
"Oh! Then... junior brother, would you be willing to let me test you?"
Ye Chenfeng's tone was expectant, showing interest.
It was as if they had seen some novel toy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's heart stirred.
He finally succeeded in forging the full-body combat armor.
Since we haven't had time to test it yet, it wouldn't hurt to let Ye Chenfeng test the data from various aspects.
Finding a sparring partner Qi Refining Ninth Layer is not easy.
He nodded immediately.
"Can."
"Alright, then be careful, junior brother!"
"Bass!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Ye Chenfeng fingers together and released another flying sword from his Storage Bag.
"Go!"
He gave a soft shout.
The flying sword shot out, heading straight for the armored warrior.
"Good timing!"
Seeing the bright sword light, Lu Li's mind stirred.
The Artifact Inscription on the armor shimmered, and the head armor instantly closed.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, Lu Li was tightly wrapped up, advanced instead of retreating.
The next second.
As the flying sword drew near, Lu Li raised one arm, the Artifact Inscription at his elbow gleaming, and a burst of spiritual flame shot out.
boom!
The arm armor suddenly accelerated.
He actually grabbed the flying sword directly.
"Clang!"
Amidst the clash of metal and stone, and the burst of fireworks.
Lu Li held the sharp flying sword firmly in his hand.
Ye Chenfeng's excited expression froze on the spot.
"This... this... he... Junior Brother Lu..."
"You caught... caught my flying sword?!"
