A faint smile appeared on the white-haired old man's emotionless face.
The red-haired man was a little puzzled by his master's actions. He had already sensed clearly that the strange man his master was talking about had a very weak soul and was considered to be at the bottom of the Saint realm. There were many people like that and there was nothing special about them.
"Master, please enlighten me."
His master had asked him to take a closer look, but he could not see anything. In the end, he had no choice but to ask his master to enlighten him.
The white-haired old man shook his head gently and sighed. "You … I've always told you that the cultivation of the martial way focuses on cultivating one's body and mind. You just don't listen and are always so impatient. Do you know why you haven't had a single inch of strength in refining weapons all these years?"
The red-haired man shook his head in puzzlement.
"Your heart isn't calm enough. Naturally, you can't concentrate on refining weapons," said the white-haired old man. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this for now."
Returning to the main topic, the white-haired old man's dark eyes fell on the strange man on the street. The latter's expression was indifferent as he stood with his hands behind his back and strolled forward.
"He has guts and is very smart. To be able to take out so much wealth, which force in the Origin World nurtured him?"
The white-haired old man muttered to himself.
At this moment, Fang Chen had already sensed the white-haired old man's spying. He quietly walked towards a secluded street corner where there were fewer people.
"Come, let's go take a look."
The white-haired old man got up and led his disciple to follow Fang Chen.
Soon, the two of them came to a secluded street corner. There was no one here and there was nothing there.
"He's in front."
Just as the red-haired man looked around and was about to look for Fang Chen, he suddenly discovered a figure standing in front of him. It was the strange man on the street just now.
"He discovered us?"
Obviously, this person was waiting for them. In other words, their spying had been discovered?
The red-haired man's expression changed when he thought of this. He had just thought that this person's soul was very weak and was at the bottom of the Saint realm. However, this person had sensed his and his master's spying. It was a little unbelievable.
Recalling what his master had said to him before, the red-haired man guessed that this person was very likely hiding his strength.
"If my guess is correct, this shouldn't be your true appearance, right?" The white-haired old man said with a chuckle.
Fang Chen turned around and looked at the two of them. He shook his head and said, "You actually discovered me?"
He was also astonished. His disguising technique was unparalleled in the world, and he had even changed his aura. He had no idea how the white-haired elder had managed to discover him.
At the same time, he was secretly on guard. Would there be other experts who would discover him?
It seemed that the plan of using the head disciple of the Taixuan Sect, the scholar, as well as Gong Tianhou and the others to lure the tiger away from the mountain was not perfect. There were still flaws. At the very least, the two people in front of him were not fooled. Instead, they were eyeing him after he changed his appearance.
"This old man has spent his entire life forging weapons. No weapon can hide from this old man. Although your aura and appearance have changed, the weapon on your body hasn't."
The white-haired old man said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen was slightly surprised, but he soon came to a realization. These two must be the people who were competing for the Supreme Phalanx with him in VIP room number one, right?
No wonder they could bid so crazily. It turned out that they were blacksmiths.
Thinking about it, they must be top-notch in the blacksmithing world of the Origin World.
"Why are you stopping me?" Fang Chen asked.
"Hmph, what are you pretending for?"
The red-haired man was furious. "Master was determined to get the Supreme Phalanx, but you snatched it away. Why do you think we're stopping you?"
"Ridiculous. In the auction house, bidding for anything depends on the price. I bid the highest price and got the Supreme Phalanx. How is it snatching it away from you?" Fang Chen retorted.
"Kid, do you know who my master is?"
The red-haired man said coldly, emitting a terrifying aura. He sealed the surroundings, not giving Fang Chen a chance to escape.
The white-haired old man waved his hand, stopping his disciple from speaking. He then looked at Fang Chen and said with a smile, "Little friend, I won't let you suffer a loss. As long as you give the Supreme Phalanx to me, I can help you forge a peerless sacred weapon. What do you think?"
A peerless sacred weapon.
Fang Chen's pupils shrank.
His attainment in blacksmithing was also very high, but he couldn't forge a peerless sacred weapon. Wasn't the person in front of him too heaven-defying?
He suddenly thought of a person. He had heard of him when he first came to the Origin World.
The only expert in the Origin World who could forge a peerless sacred weapon was Master Chi Lian.
"Master Chi Lian?"
Fang Chen asked.
"Since you know my master's name, you'd better hand over the Supreme Phalanx obediently. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." The red-haired man was very angry. With his master's reputation, he would be respected wherever he went.
But this guy in front of him openly looked down on them. He was simply courting death.
He was confident that he could kill this person with a wave of his hand.
Fang Chen furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat displeased. Anyone would have a temper after being repeatedly intimidated like this.
"Although a peerless sacred weapon is good, I don't like it." Fang Chen shook his head and rejected decisively. "Moreover, I don't like you."
The red-haired man flew into a rage when he heard this.
However, the white-haired old man remained calm. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Chen as if he wanted to see through the latter. But soon, he was disappointed. The latter's body was like a bottomless abyss, constantly devouring the consciousness that approached his body.
It was impossible to detect.
The white-haired old man gritted his teeth and said, "What if I infuse the five great Origin Powers?"
Infusing the five great Origin Powers into a peerless sacred weapon was very bold.
Even he didn't have a high success rate. Many top forces in the Origin World begged him to forge a weapon, but he rejected them all.
For the Supreme Phalanx, he had paid enough sincerity.
Fang Chen still shook his head. The Supreme Phalanx was more important to him.
"I'm sorry." Fang Chen refused.
At this time, the white-haired old man frowned and asked puzzledly, "You haven't reached that level yet. Even if you study the Supreme Phalanx, it's meaningless to you."
However, what he didn't know was that the man standing in front of him had already broken through the limits and walked the complete cultivation system of the ancient era. He was only one step away from stepping into the Eleventh Order Saint Realm.
To Fang Chen, the Supreme Phalanx was of great significance.
"You're courting death."
The red-haired man couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to attack.
However, Fang Chen laughed. It was a strange and mocking laugh.
"You said that the Supreme Phalanx is useless to me because you think I'm too weak?"
Fang Chen said, "Have you ever thought that standing in front of you might be a gap that you can never cross?"
