Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

"Don't worry, young friend. Our Liu Family Blacksmith Shop is definitely the best in Dengfeng County."

"Come here, and this old man guarantees you won't be disappointed."

Liu Yi said confidently, pointing to the wooden shelves around the room.

"Your timing is perfect!"

"These are the best weapons that have been finished in the past month."

Lu Xuan fixed his eyes on them, and without any hesitation, he stepped forward, heading straight to a rack filled with blades.

Then, Lu Xuan casually picked up a fine blade. The blade was smooth, flat, and gleamed with a cold light!

It was indeed quite good.

The owner of this blacksmith shop hadn't exaggerated.

This broadsword, like the one at his waist, was made of the same refined iron.

However, Lu Xuan wasn't satisfied with just that.

Even such a good blade would only last him for a while, unable to withstand the power of the Crimson Flame Blade Technique.

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any better blades here?"

"For example, a blade that can withstand high-temperature burning."

Lu Xuan's words left Liu Yi baffled.

The blades on the shelves were all weapons that could withstand high-temperature burning!

If it weren't for the fact that this person was acquainted with Shen Yuan, Liu Yi would have suspected that someone was trying to cause trouble.

"High-temperature burning?"

"Young friend, aren't all blades able to withstand high-temperature burning?"

"Besides, the broadsword you're holding is already the best of this batch."

"Isn't that enough to satisfy your needs?"

Lu Xuan didn't hide his intentions. He put the broadsword back on the rack and said directly,

"Not enough. I already have a blade like this. I'm just looking for a better one."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Liu Yi could respond, Lu Xuan quickly drew his broadsword from his waist.

A broadsword appeared before Shen Yuan and Liu Yi.

The blade gleamed in the sunlight, but in the middle of the blade, there was a patch of scorched black.

Moreover, in the scorched area, there were tiny cracks, as if it had suffered unimaginable damage.

"This…."

Seeing the broadsword in Lu Xuan's hand, Liu Yi was immediately speechless.

He hadn't expected the young friend to be telling the truth and not trying to deceive him.

Because, after forging weapons for most of his life, he could tell at a glance.

The quality of the broadsword in Lu Xuan's hand was indeed that of a superior weapon.

"It seems this old man has misunderstood you."

Liu Yi looked embarrassed, then looked at Lu Xuan with suspicion and said, "Young friend, would you mind telling this old man how you did that?"

Blades are meant to defend oneself. How could this young friend's blade be scorched by terrifying flames, to the point where even refined iron couldn't withstand the high temperature?

He was really curious about how Lu Xuan had done it.

Shen Yuan also looked at Lu Xuan with great curiosity. It was the first time he had seen such a blade.

In his impression, wasn't a blade just for cutting people?

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any better blades here?"

"If not, then I'll take the one from just now."

Lu Xuan had no intention of demonstrating the Crimson Flame Blade Technique to satisfy their curiosity.

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't reveal the reason, Liu Yi's curiosity intensified, almost magnified dozens of times.

Then, Liu Yi gritted his teeth, as if he had thought of something, and promised Lu Xuan.

"Young friend, I do!"

"This old man does have a blade that's better than all of these."

"But, you have to answer the question in this old man's heart."

"Why are there burn marks on your blade, and to such an extent that it can even scorch refined iron?"

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yi with some surprise. He had underestimated the other party's curiosity.

He didn't expect him to actually have a blade better than one forged from refined iron.

However, the other party still wanted him to prove why there were burn marks on the blade.

Oh well!

Anyway, this blade could only be used a few more times, so he might as well show it to him.

In the next second, before Liu Yi and Shen Yuan could react.

The air in the room, which had been cool, suddenly became hot and unbearable, as if it were in a high-temperature, suffocating furnace.

A terrifying crimson flame appeared on the broadsword in Lu Xuan's hand.

The crimson flames burned fiercely on the blade, and the enchanting firelight reflected on the faces of Liu Yi and Shen Yuan.

In the bright and boundless crimson firelight, Liu Yi and Shen Yuan looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Especially Liu Yi, he considered himself a Marrow Refining Realm martial artist, but in this touch of firelight, he actually felt a sense of trembling.

He knew this feeling all too well. It was the feeling of despair that one would only have at the moment of near-death.

Of course, after a few breaths, Lu Xuan restrained his inner energy.

The terrifying high-temperature crimson flames on the blade came and went quickly.

The broadsword in Lu Xuan's hand returned to normal again.

However, if you looked closely, the scorched marks on the blade were a bit larger, almost occupying a third of the blade's area.

"Young friend, you…."

"Brother Xuan!"

Shen Yuan and Liu Yi had already recovered, looking at Lu Xuan with complicated expressions.

Their eyes were filled with unparalleled shock, as if their worldviews had collapsed.

Shen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought he could catch up to Lu Xuan's shadow.

He hadn't expected Brother Xuan to have already reached a place that he couldn't catch up to in his entire life.

Liu Yi looked deeply at Lu Xuan, then spoke again, his tone carrying a hint of reverence.

"Young friend's martial arts talent is unparalleled, the likes of which this old man has never seen in his life!"

When Liu Yi was young, he had traveled around and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such an unparalleled prodigy like Lu Xuan.

Judging from that terrifying flame just now, Lu Xuan's strength was definitely stronger than him, even far beyond his imagination.

A Blood Refining Realm martial artist?

Such a young Blood Refining Realm martial artist, does such an unparalleled genius really exist in this world?

He didn't expect this old man to actually encounter one.

No wonder that kid Shen Yuan is so obedient, so that's how it is.

"Young friend, please wait a moment, this old man will fetch it for you immediately."

Liu Yi seemed to have remembered something, and quickly ran out, his speed astonishing.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yi reappeared, carrying a broadsword sheathed in a scabbard.

Then, Liu Yi directly drew the broadsword from the scabbard.

The broadsword appeared before Lu Xuan, a silver-white broadsword with a shimmering white light reflecting off the blade.

"This is!"

"Mystic Iron?"

Lu Xuan recognized the material of the broadsword at a glance.

Wasn't the Mystic Iron material of this broadsword exactly the same as the Mystic Iron arrows he had encountered at Lotus Birth Temple?
