"And weapons."
"Since Iāve obtained the Artifact Refiner Inheritance, I should try it out."
"This Artifact Refiner Inheritance is incredible, surprisingly itās Void Artificing, requiring no Refinement Furnace." Zhao Feng mused to himself.
Immediately.
He embarked on his first crafting.
Several days later.
Zhao Feng successfully emerged from seclusion.
"Welcome back, Master."
Li Mu and the others bowed respectfully.
"Iāve been delayed for a few days."
"I crafted some items."
Zhao Feng said solemnly.
With a wave of his hand.
Five Martial Roots Testing Steles appeared in front of everyone.
Each stood half a person high, exuding a special artifact aura.
"These are Martial Roots Testing Steles, from now on, all recruitment at Yanting will be based on them."
"Those with Martial Roots can be cultivated heavily, while those without can be given less attention, just a bit of nurturing." Zhao Feng said solemnly.
"Understood." Ying Bu immediately replied.
"Also."
"Youāve followed me for many years."
"Iāve crafted some weapons for you as well."
Zhao Feng smiled.
With another wave of his hand.
Six swords, gleaming with a cold light, were thrust into the ground.
Even just looking at them, one could feel they were divine weapons.
Among those present were five.
Li Mu, Sima Shang, Qing Qin, Xiao He, Han Xin, Ying Bu.
These practice works of Zhao Feng were naturally given to them.
Although they were practice works, they had all reached High Grade, and in this era were absolutely divine weapons.
"Thank you, Master, for your generous gifts."
Everyone expressed their gratitude in unison.
"And Ying Bu."
Zhao Feng turned to look at Ying Bu.
"Please instruct, Master." Ying Bu quickly replied.
"In the future, train people proficient in pharmacology and blacksmithing."
"I also need talents in alchemy and artifact refining."
"These people must have Martial Roots above Mid Grade, Iāll then teach the ways of alchemy and artifact refining at Yanting." Zhao Feng instructed.
"Understood." Ying Bu nodded seriously.
"Thatās good."
Zhao Feng also nodded in reassurance.
The Yanting he established was the embryo of his future dynasty.
Not just martial artists.
Alchemy and artifact refining, these aspects must also be complete.
Since Zhao Feng decided to establish an immortal martial dynasty in the future, he must start planning now.
-----------------
Returning home!
"Fengāer."
"Where did you run off to again?"
Upon returning.
Xia Dongāer approached, looking at him with a face full of complaint.
"Mother."
"I went to handle some trivial matters."
"Iāve come back now." Zhao Feng replied cheerfully.
In front of his mother, Zhao Feng dared not contradict her at all.
On the day he returned from Yan.
He was thoroughly scolded by Xia Dongāer for being careless and reckless.
These Zhao Feng naturally accepted calmly.
This was his motherās concern for him.
"Brother."
"You keep running around recklessly."
Beside him, Zhao Ying commented playfully.
"You little girl." Zhao Feng glanced at her irritably.
Yet, speaking again.
"This time, stay at home and accompany mother, Iāll return after visiting Xianyang." Zhao Feng said.
"When do you go?" Xia Dongāer asked.
"Back when I was in the Land of Yan, the Great King issued a royal edict urging me to quickly return to Xianyang. I delayed because of the foreign tribesā invasion, now Iāve returned for many days. Iāll set out the day after tomorrow." Zhao Feng replied.
Upon hearing this.
Xia Dongāer also nodded: "Since itās a royal edict, you should comply."
"Mother."
"You can completely go with me to Xianyang." Zhao Feng persuaded.
"Letās talk about it later." Xia Dongāer shook her head.
Seeing his mother like this, Zhao Feng understood, and stopped persuading.
He could naturally see his motherās great reluctance towards Xianyang.
"Fengāer."
"What do you think of Li You?" Xia Dongāer suddenly asked.
Beside him, Zhao Yingās face showed a flash of concern.
"Li You is just one of my Main Generals. I donāt know him too well."
"Yingāer spends more time with him, ask Yingāer."
"As long as Yingāer is willing, I, as her brother, will agree." Zhao Feng replied cheerfully.
Upon hearing!
Xia Dongāer turned her gaze to Zhao Ying: "Yingāer, youāre already twenty-two, soon to be twenty-three. Others marry at a much younger age, youāre already an old lady. If you think Li You is suitable, then heās the one."
"I can see he truly cares about you."
"Besides, heās only two or three years older, the age is suitable, and he hasnāt married anyone, which makes it more appropriate."
"With your brother, you wonāt suffer if you marry him."
Clearly.
Xia Dongāer was genuinely anxious about her daughterās marriage.
Recently.
Li Youās relentless courtship touched Xia Dongāer.
Sheād also learned about Li You through Zhang Ming.
"Yingāer, itās up to you."
"As long as youāre willing." Zhao Feng smiled, considering his sisterās choice.
On the surface.
Li You indeed appeared to be a good choice.
"Brother, letās wait and see."
"If heās genuine, Iāll know." Zhao Ying thought for a moment, still not agreeing immediately.
"Yingāer." Xia Dongāer became a bit anxious.
"Mother."
"Letās follow Yingāerās decision."
"Itās not so easy to marry my sister." Zhao Feng chuckled.
Then.
Turning around: "Zhang Ming."
"Here."
Zhang Ming ran over quickly.
"Tell Li You to wait for me in the main hall." Zhao Feng ordered.
"Understood." Zhang Ming replied promptly.
Shortly.
Zhao Mansionās main hall!
"Shangjiangjun."
Li You bowed to Zhao Feng respectfully.
