" Azure hurry up!" Lee said towards the cub who passionately devoured the roasted meat that laid before him.
Lee stared at the cub silently, and couldn't help but smile, he was extremely lucky to have found it, somehow he knew that both of them would soars the haevens together. Few moments later, Azure could be seeing gently resting in Lee's garment. And then Lee raised his foot and left the courtyard.**********
"Father it's pretty rare to see you in the house by this time of the day!" Lee said has he gently stared at his father.Skyfire on hearing this couldn't help but smile bitterly. " I'm sorry son, I know I have not had time to be with you, the affairs of the clan is very arduous, and I can't leave it into the hands of those sly elders! "Lee nodded his head and grinned stiffly. " Father I had wanted to see you before"
"Ohh why?!" questioned Skyfire."I need money!"
" What for?!" Lee's father couldn't help but ask." I want to visit Vine city, i want Master Yang to forge a sheath for my essence sword"
" Ohh, I see, but you should be cautious around him, though Vine city is our territory, Master Yang is no ordinary person, you should know!"" I know father "Lee's father waved his sleeves and then a light shot towards Lee from the ring on Skyfire's finger.Storage Artifact!
Lee quickly grabbed the light, appearing on his hands was a small pouch filled with silver coin, and this caused a grin to appear on his face.
"The silver coins and your status should be enough, be careful!"
" Lee, i almost forgot, Brown told me you picked that very difficult sword art, how is it going, have not been able to ask since we have not had time to speak well for some weeks now!"" It's fine father, i have started condensing the seals" Lee said with a proud smile on his face.
Lee's father's heart skipped a bit on hearing this, he was badly shocked, but he tried to make his expression neutral, he spent months before he could form one damn seal!. Not that his talent was bad but the technique was too hard!
" Clan head, your attention is needed in the Grand hall!" It was at this moment, that a guard suddenly rushed into the house.Lee's father sighed in relief, the guard had just saved him if not he would not be able to hold his shock for long." Lee, see you later!" Clan head Skyfire didn't even let his word land before he dashed out of the house with the guard." What's wrong with father!.....whatever!" Lee thought has he casually joggled the pouch on his hands with a smile on his face.********
The metropolis of Vine city, a very large and bustling one, where hundreds of people resided, with such a huge population and resources, several local echelons sprang up, one of it was Wateredge clan, and so each of this authorities had their various territories.
A fine young man could be seen standing in front of a fairly large shop, where several artifacts and weapons were auditioned with a glance one could tell that it was either a blacksmith's shop or that of a weapon dealer.
Lee gently breathed and then opened the door of the shop. The sight that greeted Lee made him speechless, the interior of the shop far surpassed the shabby appearance of the shop's exterior, the walls were made of glittering precious metals, scattered around were mysterious looking furnaces and refined metals, there were weapons ranging from swords to sabers, scythes, rods, spears, daggers, staffs and so on hanged on the walls of the shop.
Lee stared around but failed to find anyone.
" Master Yang" Lee couldn't help but call out." Child of Wateredge, how may I help you" Suddenly Lee heard a coarse voice ring behind him, his heart skipped a bit, and his body couldn't help but jerk a little, but Lee immediately sealed his emotions almost as his good as his father!
He turned around, and his gaze met with a short man with a pear shaped face and long violet hair, that flowed down to his back.
" Master Yang, this young one greets you!" Lee on seeing the legendary figure that had appeared in front of him, couldn't help but bow with his hands cupped.
" What do you want!" Master Yang said with indifference." I want you sir, to forge a sheath for my essence sword" Lee said cautiously.
" Let me see" Master Yang said with a bit of anxiousness that Lee failed to detect, the latter had also got wind of Lee's admission into one of the Four ruling sects and for someone to be able to achieve that, the essence sword they created would be very formidable!Lee waved his sleeves and Blueflame lightning-quick appeared on his hands, he then stretched it towards Master Yang who with a blank face rudely grabbed it from Lee.
He scanned Blueflame with his eyes and couldn't help but nod his head gently like a lizard, he then tapped the tip of Blueflame with his finger, immediately a sonorous hymn rang out, with a vibrational wave slowing flowing from the tip to the rest of the sword.Master Yang on hearing this, had a quick change in expression, shock and ecstasy like no other filled his face.Lee was surprised but didn't dare to say anything.Master Yang held Blueflame for few more breaths before he reluctantly handed it back to Lee, and the latter immediately sent it back into his body."Sit!" Master Yang said as he then waved his hands and two metal seats appeared.
Lee was surprised, Master Yang asking him to sit, didn't his father tell him that the mam was extremely arrogant..... wonders never end!"Lad do you know anything about blacksmiths!"
Lee was now more shocked, that a glint of shock couldn't help but flash in his eyes. "Master Yang is involving me in a chitchat" Lee couldn't help but scream in his heart." No sir I don't" Lee truly didn't know anything, all he knew was they forge metals and weapons but if he told that to the extremely arrogant Master Yang he might get ridiculed."As I expected, this small city has made you ignorant of some basic things" Master Yang arrogantly.Lee felt vexed but didn't dare to say anything."A blacksmith is a treasure in the eyes of big clans and sects who are in possessions of bloodlines, do you know why?!" Master Yang stared at Lee as he questioned."To forge weapons!" Lee said knitting his eyebrows, that was the only thing he could think of, what was the job of a blacksmith.Forging!"Haha!" Master Yang on hearing this couldn't help but burst into laughter which made Lee feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Greetings, Master Yang" With ia coarse voice the young man who had suddenly appeared said.The appearance of the lad appeared quite ordinary, but with the expression on the faces of both Master Yang and Lee, one would be able to tell that though the lad's facial appearance was ordinary, he wasn't someone of an ordinary class."Hey, i never expected to meet the formidable young master of Wateredge clan here, such good luck of mine" though the words of the lad appeared clean and friendly, there was contempt in his voice which he didn't try to hide."Bloodsnake of Light Wolf clan, it's a pleasure to meet you " Lee's expression contradicted his words, with the cold expression on his face he didn't seem happy to see Bloodsnake.
Bloodsnake's fists landed heavily on Blueflame, which caused Lee to fly back, but he immediately stabbed Blueflame into the floor of the shop, surprisingly, Blueflame failed to pierce the metal floor, and was only able to leave a faint white mark as it dragged Lee's body along, but it was enough for Lee to gain his balance, as he then flipped in air and landed gracefully.Bloodsnake who just stood firm on the ground like a hill, rather than having a mocking or contempt filled expression, had shock written all over his face, if one stared well at his fist, one would see a tear, which had blood slowly dropping from it."You aarrr.....are already at the second stage" Bloodsnake stuttered. Before he reached the second stage of spiritual refinement, he had spent more than a month, clans like Lig
"No need for that, there isn't much that you need to know again, come back here tomorrow, your training would officially begin, you can leave now" Master Yang said has he then waved his hands, with this he raised his feet and walked farther from Lee.Lee nodded his head and gave a deep bow, with this he walked out of the shop.*********Outside the shop"Master Yang is not only arrogant but sly, with a teacher like him, I don't need to be emotionally attached, it would be pretty easy to find a better teacher when i reach Master Grindsea's sect!" Lee quickly resolved in his heart, though he didn't have a favourable expression of Master Yang, he was extremely excited about the fact that he had become the disciple of the famous arrogant blacksmit
"Inside the storage ring is three sheaths with each containing a frigid property enough to suit your essence weapon, but most importantly there is a pair of hammer in the ring, that's the core of your training, quickly bind it with you blood""Ok!" Lee excitedly nodded his head, and then, quickly summoned Blueflame which he then used to cut his finger, he returned it into his body and immediately placed a drop of blood on the storage ring.The drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the ring, and immediately Lee felt a sudden strange feeling in his mind, he could now clearly see the inside of the ring, true to Master Yang's word there were three sheaths and a pair of hammers in the ring."Pull the hammers out" Master Yang immediately commanded.Lee nodded his head, and with a th
"How in the world, am I suppose to do this?" Lee rose up angrily, he hadn't, ever since he began training tried to cultivate his body, so it was quite annoying."Bang!" " Bang!"Lee out of frustration, began to strike the surface of a tree nearby, he badly wanted to abate his anger.It didn't take much breath, before he stopped striking the tree, as his knuckles had become red and sore, Lee breathed out, and poured out the last bit of anger in him."..." Lee's gaze suddenly fell on the spot where he had brutally punched, and then an expression of shock filled his face, on the surface of the tree were faint cracks which didn't seem quite impressive
"Clan head Skyfire, pardon me, but I disagree with you" Elder Chu with no emotion of any sort on his face said. This made his words feel blank!"Ohh" Echoes of shock filled the hall, the elders stared at Elder chu in amazement .....such boldness!"Do you have a better one!" Skyfire pursued his lips into a thin line, he questioned Elder Chu as patient as he could be."I don't mean to be rude, but I think your plan is a bit defective. It is visible to each and every of us that this clan though are increasing in strength each day, but compared to our clan their power is infinitesimal"Everyone nodded in agreement, essence blood couldn't even cover this gap, a clan like Wateredge which had existed for decades would have gathered more force compared to a clan which was just beginning to rise.
"Father, Clan head Skyfire, it is not of my wish to disrupt this meeting, it is of importance that I deliver this message to you" said the young man referred to as Dragonbone."Hmmph, i hope it is worth it" First elder with a deep frown on his face uttered."Darkneedle, the personal guard of the mayor, came here to inform you, Clan head that the mayor seeks your attention" Dragonbone still with his head bowed said."Oh, the mayor, hmm it's worth you coming here" Lee's father said while he gently rubbed his chin."You, can leave now" First elder with a relaxed expression
