Outside the stone door, Cui Haoyu, Fu Qinglin and the rest had been waiting the entire time. However, as time slowly passed, Qin Fang's figure still did not appear.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Cui Haoyu's expression was also somewhat ugly. Looking at the depths of the black stone door, he could not help but mutter to himself.
Qin Fang had followed the other four people from the Cui and Fu families into this Sword-fighting Go game. However, the four of them had already come out, but there was not even the slightest trace of Qin Fang.
"Could something have happened?"
Fu Qinglin's expression was not much better than Cui Haoyu's. His brows were tightly knitted together as he could not help but mutter to himself.
The reason why he and Cui Haoyu found Qin Fang to participate in this Sword-fighting Go game was indeed because they wanted to borrow Qin Fang's hands to solve this Sword-fighting Go game that had been passed down for hundreds of years by their ancestors.
In these hundreds of years, although no one from the Cui and Fu families had been able to solve this game, it did not mean that the two families did not have any gains at all.
After so many generations of hard work, they discovered that the only way to solve this Sword-fighting Go game was to find a young expert to forcefully solve it.
However, the current world was no longer the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Young experts might have already stepped into the Grandmaster realm a few hundred years ago, and some abnormal geniuses might even be able to step into the Great Grandmaster realm. Looking at the current foundation of the Cui and Fu families, it could be seen.
Originally, Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin did not have such an arrangement. It was only when Qin Fang appeared out of nowhere that they suddenly saw a bit of hope.
This was also the reason why Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin would suddenly appear in the Sword-fighting Assembly. If they wanted to invite Qin Fang, they would need the two of them to personally take action. Just the faces of the people below would not be enough.
They were very satisfied with the result. Qin Fang agreed to their request and went to solve the situation as they had expected.
However, the commotion inside seemed to indicate that the Sword-fighting Go puzzle had been solved by Qin Fang. Logically speaking, Qin Fang should have come out by now, but after waiting for so long, there was still no sign of Qin Fang. It was no wonder that Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin were anxious …
"Could it be that Qin brat has really obtained the Sword Dao inheritance of the founder?"
Cui Haoyu suddenly thought of this possibility and couldn't help but look at Fu Qinglin who was opposite him. At this time, Fu Qinglin seemed to have the same doubts and happened to look in his direction. Their eyes met in mid-air, revealing the same worry.
However, this kind of worry quickly turned into a trace of gloominess. The two of them quickly exchanged glances, revealing a hint of viciousness in their eyes.
It was obvious that they had completely made up their minds. It was as if even if Qin Fang had truly obtained the inheritance of the Sword-fighting Master, Fu Cailin, they would still leave Qin Fang behind. They did not plan to let Qin Fang leave alive!
It had to be said, Cui Haoyu.
Although Fu Qinglin's plan was not bad, was the truth really as they had guessed?
Obviously, not!
At least Qin Fang was definitely not, even though he had entered a very hidden valley.
"Sword-fighting Valley …"
This was a very hidden place. Whether it was still in Bagong Mountain or not, Qin Fang was not very sure. However, based on his twenty minutes of walking, he should still be in the mountains.
This valley was located under a stone wall. The area was very small, very hidden, and it was almost impossible to discover. This was because when Qin Fang raised his head to look at the top of his head, he saw that it was actually covered by a large mountain. There were only a few cracks that allowed a ray of sunlight to enter …
On the stone wall, the words "Sword-fighting Valley" were engraved. It was obvious that this valley was definitely related to the Sword-fighting Master, Fu Cailin.
Qin Fang even suspected that this valley was the place where the Sword-fighting Master, Fu Cailin, lived in seclusion in his later years.
Compared to the words on the stone wall of the Sword Forest, these three words looked rather ordinary. However, Qin Fang could vaguely feel that these three words were not simple at all. It was as if they had some kind of inner divine splendor, as if they had already reached the realm of returning to one's original state …
Qin Fang was still very far from that realm, so he could only vaguely feel a little bit of it, but he did not dare to confirm it. However, this was already enough to make Qin Fang maintain a considerable amount of reverence towards this top expert from hundreds of years ago.
The valley was not very big, and there were not many plants. Perhaps it was because no one had taken care of it for a long time, but this place had become rather desolate, especially those vines that had almost filled the entire valley.
Qin Fang looked around and saw that all he could see were these plants. For the time being, he could not see any way out, so the first thing he had to do was to deal with these plants.
Following that, Qin Fang even set a fire, burning all the vines clean. This way, the Sword-fighting Valley could be considered to be much more clean and tidy.
At this time, Qin Fang noticed that under the stone wall, there was a very cave-like stone house. In front of the stone house, there were stone tables, stone stools, and so on. Qin Fang even noticed that there was a chessboard drawn on the stone table.
Without a doubt, all of these should be closely related to the Sword-fighting Grandmaster Fu Cailin …
Since he had already arrived at this place that was suspected to be the place where the Sword-fighting Grandmaster Fu Cailin lived in seclusion in his later years, Qin Fang naturally could not do nothing. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the valley. Qin Fang took a simple look, and did not find any treasures like the spirit medicine that he had imagined …
This was understandable, there were very few spirit medicines in the world, especially after so many years, even the spirit medicines collected by the Sword-fighting Grandmaster Fu Cailin would have withered long ago. To be able to leave behind a seed was already considered Qin Fang's good luck.
There was nothing outside, so Qin Fang quickly went into the stone house that had been sealed for hundreds of years. If he wanted to get anything, it seemed that this was the only place.
This stone house was not big. It could even be said to be rather small.
However, there was a saying that although a sparrow was small, it had all the essentials. It was more suitable to use it in this stone house. Inside, there were tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and so on.
This was even a two-way suite. The one outside was considered a living room, and the one inside was a smaller warehouse-like place.
There were not many things in the living room, and the various "furniture" made of stone were naturally immortal, but they did not have much value to speak of. As for the other things, because of the passage of time, they had all rotted away, so naturally, there was nothing worthy of Qin Fang's attention.
However, Qin Fang did not care, and once again stepped into the warehouse, hoping to find some valuable things from here …
The inside of the warehouse was actually not much different from the living room outside. Some of the paper books had already rotted away, and there was nothing left. However, a chessboard made of unknown materials and a black stone that were placed in a conspicuous position attracted Qin Fang's attention.
It could be said that most of the things in this warehouse had already been damaged. Only these two things were still relatively intact.
This was understandable. This chessboard seemed to be made of some kind of metal, and it had undergone some kind of special treatment. After hundreds of years, it was still the same, and there were no traces of rust.
There was no need to talk about that black stone. Not to mention a few hundred years, even if it was a few thousand years, it would still be the same as before …
However, since this stone was able to receive the attention of a top expert like the Sword Master Fu Cailin, Qin Fang naturally would not treat it as an ordinary stone.
Almost as soon as he saw this stone, Qin Fang immediately used his detection skill on it.
"This is …"
When the results of the detection came back, Qin Fang's eyes immediately widened. His face also revealed an excited expression, and even seemed to be a little excited.
"This is …" Purple Obsidian Stone!
"It's actually Purple Obsidian Stone …"
Following that, Qin Fang seemed to have a stroke as he hugged the purplish-black stone and cried out in joy.
In order for the Flowing Shadow Sword to be promoted to a Divine Artifact, other than some easily-collected auxiliary materials, it still needed three main materials. They were the Star River God Iron, the Skyheart Sand, and the Purple Obsidian Stone.
Of these three main materials, the Star River God Iron was dropped by the peak Master Nakano that Qin Fang had killed. As for the other two, there were no clues at all.
Qin Fang had almost forgotten about these two materials, but he did not expect to unexpectedly obtain one here.
"Hahaha, now only the Skyheart Sand is missing …"
Now that he had obtained the Star River God Metal and Purple Dazzling Stone, he already had two of the three main materials needed to upgrade the Flowing Shadow Sword. As long as he found the last material, the Heavenly Heart Sand, the Flowing Shadow Sword wouldn't be too far away from becoming a Divine Artifact …
At the thought that he could own a magic weapon that was comparable to one of the top ten magic weapons, Qin Fang couldn't control his excitement.
Of course, Qin Fang had no idea when he would be able to obtain the Skyheart Sand. Perhaps he would be able to find it very quickly, or perhaps he would not be able to find it in this lifetime. This was all a matter of luck. Who could predict it?
However, Qin Fang was not in a hurry. When he first obtained the Star River God Iron, he also felt that the chances were slim. Searching for these two almost extinct treasures in the vast sea of people was like searching for a needle in a haystack. There was almost no hope …
But this "almost impossible" had become possible now. What reason did Qin Fang have not to believe that he would find the remaining Skyheart Sand?
