Weapon Master

North of Furious Waves City, inside the blacksmith shop, Tang Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of Little Blue sleeping soundly with its stomach sprawled out.    

This Little Blue was extremely addicted to alcohol. When there was wine, it would drink it, and when it drank, it would become drunk.    

"Strange, I've already poured out all the wine at home, where can it find wine to drink? You didn't got out with it, did you? " Tang Huan looked at Shan Shan suspiciously.    

"How come? Maybe you didn't pour out all the wine, and it found some left. "    

Shan Shan immediately denied with a little guilt, and then asked while knowing the answer, "Oh right, what rank did you get this time, and what reward did you get?"    

Tang Huan was originally only asking casually, but upon hearing that, he chuckled: "The champion!"    

"Wow, how amazing!"    

Shan Shan exclaimed, "You actually got first place in the competition!"    

Looking at her exaggerated expression, Tang Huan was startled, and then looking at Little Blue whose stomach was bulging, he suddenly realized something, and unhappily curled his lips: "Alright, alright, stop pretending, your acting skills are really too tragic. This 'Weapon Refining Competition', you must have seen it from the beginning to the end."    

"How do you know?" Being exposed by Tang Huan, Shan Shan could not help but blush slightly.    

"If you didn't go and see, and know that I have obtained first place, you would definitely say, it's only the champion of the 'Weapon Refining Competition', what's so great about that, if you have the ability, you can take first place of the 'Weapon Refining Sacred Assembly' in the future!"    

Tang Huan imitated Shan Shan's expression and coldly snorted. After saying that, a hint of a confident smile emerged on Tang Huan's face, "The champion of the 'Weapon Refining Competition' is only the first step. In another two years, I might really go to Heavenly Forging City to get the champion of the 'Weapon Refining Sacred Assembly'."    

"You just can't stop bluffing, can you?" Shan Shan no longer had to pretend. She could only snort coldly, identical to the expression that Tang Huan had imitated just now.    

"Then you just wait and see."    

Tang Huan squinted his eyes and laughed, then changed the topic, "Shan Shan, do you know of the five great 'Spiritual Fire', can you explain it to me in detail?"    

"Of course I know. Why are you asking this?" Shan Shan stared blankly for a moment, but said in the end, "The 'Spiritual Fire' is a flame even more powerful than the 'True Fire'."    

"All the 'True Fire' of weapon refiners in our Glory Continent and Origin Continent is from the 'True Fire Pool' of the 'Sword Crafting Valley'."    

"That 'True Fire Pool' has already existed for countless years. No matter how the world changes, the flames have never extinguished. It is said that this is because a peerless expert in the ancient era had cultivated a huge fire seed, and thus produced the 'True Fire,' which will never go out. "    

"However, the 'Spiritual Fire' is different. It is a type of flame that is naturally formed by the heaven and earth."    

"Different Spiritual Fires have different characteristics. When forging a weapon, they can display certain characteristics of the weapon to an extremely terrifying degree. Every kind of 'Spiritual Fire' in this world has existed for a long time, and in these long years, each has already given birth to a strong spirit. "    

"Because of this, fusing with a 'Spiritual Fire' is extremely difficult. Since ancient times, there have been countless Weapon Refiners who have attempted fusing with a 'Spiritual Fire', but the majority of them have already lost their souls, and there are very few who have succeeded, but every single one of them has been famous throughout the ages."    

"So that's how it is." Tang Huan slowly nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "In the past one hundred years, has any Weapon Refiner ever succeeded in fusing with a 'Spiritual Fire'?"    

"Probably not."    

Shan Shan thought for a moment before shaking her head, and said, "The 'Spiritual Fire' is different from the 'True Fire' in the 'True Fire Pool'. Since it has a strong spirit, it wouldn't stay in the same place for thousands of years. Thus very few people were able to detect them. Of course, there may also be some Weapon Refiners that have discovered its whereabouts and kept it a secret. "    

"Then how many more 'Spiritual Fire's exist in the continents of this world?" Tang Huan asked doubtfully.    

"There have always been only five."    

Shan Shan laughed and said, "In ancient times, even though there were a few Weapon Refiners who successfully fused with the 'Spiritual Fire', after they died, the 'Spiritual Fire' would leave their bodies and return to the world. Therefore, the total number of 'Spiritual Fires' has never changed. "    

After saying that, Shan Shan laughed out of curiosity: "Tang Huan, you ignorant fool, why are you suddenly interested in 'Spiritual Fire'?"    

Tang Huan was silent for a moment, before he finally looked at Shan Shan and said: "I obtained the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire's hidden location map!"    

"What?"    

Shan Shan was shocked, but immediately she realised, "I understand, the champion's special prize is precisely this!"    

Instantly, Shan Shan's expression became extremely solemn. "Tang Huan, I advise you not to look for the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire'. Even though it is incomparably precious, it is also extremely dangerous. For countless years, there have been countless refining geniuses who had their souls destroyed by the backlash from fusing with a Spiritual Fire. "    

"If I really die because of the fusion with the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire', then my death would also be worth it."    

Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh.    

If when she had heard that he had a map of the location where the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" was hidden, she immediately wanted to take a look, or ask him which location the map was showing, Tang Huan might even suspect her motives, but the first thing she did was advise him not to look for the "Nirvana Sacred Fire", it made him trust her even more.    

However, Shan Shan's persuasion did not change Tang Huan's plans in the slightest.    

Of course, the reason he was so sure was the existence of the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace", allowing him to have more confidence in fusing with the "Nirvana Sacred Fire".    

"You ..."    

Shan Shan's beautiful face revealed a look of anger, she was clearly infuriated by his reply.    

Tang Huan's smile faded as he said slowly: "The location indicated on the map is Phoenix Mountain!"    

"Phoenix Mountain?"    

Hearing this, Shan Shan did not care about being angry, and shouted out in surprise.    

"Your reaction seems to be a little too big."    

Seeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh.    

Shan Shan rolled her eyes fiercely at Tang Huan and snorted, "Did you know that one of the eight great Demon Kings under the Demon Lord Fen Tian's command, 'Flamewing Phoenix King', is very likely currently hiding within Phoenix Mountain? Furthermore, that 'Flamewing Phoenix King' might very well have a page or two of the 'Divine Weapon Catalogue' s remnant on his body."    

"Flamewing Phoenix King?"    

Tang Huan secretly took a deep breath, then his eyes lit up, "Since she has the 'Divine Weapon Catalogue' remnant, then 'Phoenix Mountain' is even more worth to go."    

"However, the Flamewing Phoenix King is the same as the Howling Firmament Wolf King, they are both equivalent to strong expert of Stage Eight Martial Lord of the human race. With my current strength, the chances of me seizing the 'Divine Weapon Catalogue' from her are practically zero. I probably will lose my life if I run into her."    

Shan Shan scoffed, "You don't have to worry about that, the 'Flamewing Phoenix King' was severely injured in the battle at the 'Two Realms Plain', and she returned to Phoenix Mountain to recuperate from her injuries."    

"She's hurt too?"    

Tang Huan was pleasantly surprised.    

Looking at his expression, Shan Shan could tell what he was thinking. She said with a cold smile, "Why do you think the 'Flamewing Phoenix King' is able to return to Phoenix Mountain after being heavily injured? If she was found out so easily, human martial experts would have already went to Phoenix Mountain and killed her off! "    

"Well, why do you seem to know everything? You even know about the secret news of the Flamewing Phoenix King was currently at Phoenix Mountain? " Tang Huan laughed dryly.    

"I don't know everything. You are just too ignorant." Shan Shan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but she covered it up well. She pursed her red lips in disdain, "As long as someone knows who the 'Flamewing Phoenix King' is, they can roughly guess where she is right now."
